Second stage housing coming to Carleton Place BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
For 38 years, Lanark County has had an emergency first stage shelter in Carleton Place for women and children in crisis — Lanark County Interval House (LCIH). Now, with the corporate support of Tiree, a management consulting and professional services company, LCIH has secured a second stage housing location. LCIH executive director Erin Lee made the announcement during a meeting of Carleton Place council on Oct. 10. “This is huge, and it is something that we have been thinking about for a very long time — eight years,” she said. “The reality is ... in Lanark County there is very limited access to safe, affordable housing.” Forty-two per cent of Canadian women who have fled abuse report they only returned to the abuser because of a lack of housing. “Second stage housing is for women and children/youth who are attempting to get back on their feet and find independence following a stay at LCIH,” Lee explained. “It is transitional.” Women are empowered as they make changes in their lives through safe housing, counselling and supports.
Each year, LCIH responds to 2,000plus calls for help, and it engages and provides direct service to more than 400 women and children/youth. Violence against women and children/youth in the community comes in several forms. For example: Coercive control, emotional, financial, isolation, physical, ritual, sexual assault, spiritual, stalking, technology and verbal. “We rely on the support of local leaders and community members to move the issue of violence against women forward,” Lee said. According to Ontario Provincial Police statistics, looking at the years 2010 to 2014, the average of incidents of violence against women in Lanark County is 333.4. The 2015 figure is 507, which is up 23.6 per cent from 2014 (412). “This is a serious issue,” Lee said. LCIH is a 15-bed shelter, and “the average length of stay is 12 weeks,” Lee noted. “Although we have 15 beds, we know we go over our numbers,” she continued. “We can house about 18, depending on the size of the family.” The first 30 days after a woman flees a violent situation are the most lethal in terms of a volatile response to her taking some of her power back.

Beckwith comes out on top in United Way municipal challenge BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
The Township of Beckwith edged out their Drummond/North Elmsley neighbours to claim the title for the 2016 United Way Lanark County municipal challenge. Results were announced during the Oct. 11 Lanark County council meeting at the administration building in Perth. According to UWLC regional director Fraser Scantlebury, Beckwith won by just $45.92, bringing in $2,855.92 from its employees and council members. “This was the closest one ever,” he said, noting that Drummond/North Elmsley has won the challenge for three out of four years. Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd accepted the honour on behalf of the township, while Drummond/North Elmsley Reeve Aubrey Churchill picked up the award for his municipality, which collected $2,830. Taking third spot for the third time in as many years, was the Municipality of Mississippi Mills with $2,320. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin accepted the certificate. Scantlebury commended the other municipalities who had participated in the municipal challenge with certificates of appreciation, including the Township of Lanark Highlands and towns of Carleton Place and Smiths Falls. He also praised the employees of Lanark County. “Just so you know, the municipal employees and councillors, and that includes the employees of Lanark County, raised over $16,586.92 in the 2016 campaign and $7,700 of that came from the employees of Lanark County,” he explained. UWLC serves Lanark County and Smiths Falls and touched more than 8,000 individuals last year, reflected in a community benefit of one in eight people. Through their partner agencies, 4,672 received hot meals, transportation and home help; 1,851 youth were given help with skills development, housing, counselling and mentoring; and 577 children received daycare, Christmas gifts and snowsuits thanks to funds raised through the organization’s annual campaign. In addition, 385 adults were given skill development, literacy training and restorative justice programs, while another 447 with hearing loss or vision impairment received counselling, devices and training. “Once again, thank you for your support…you’re helping youth, seniors and those that need our help in Lanark County,” Scantlebury said. Golf tournament funds directed to United Way During the meeting, proceeds from the annual Lanark County Warden’s Golf Tournament. Warden Bill Dobson presented a cheque for $5,900 to Scantlebury, UWLC advisory council See CHALLENGE page 3

Bad weather dampens crop yields for food banks in Great Veggie Grow-Off BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Less is more – except when it comes to food. Fresh produce donations to the Lanark County Food Bank in Carleton Place were down substantially from last year, with Drummond/North Elmsley (DNE) Township dropping from second place to nearly off the charts in this year's Great Veggie Grow-Off challenge. “It was very tough for growers and farmers,” said Karin Nakamura, manager at The Hunger Stop (Lanark County Food Bank), during the garden party and wrap-up ceremony for the Great Veggie Grow-Off, speaking at the Carleton Place Community Garden, beside St. Gregory school, on Saturday, Oct. 14. “Our numbers are down this year…(because of) the poor conditions. It’s been a really bad year for gardening.” In 2016, Mississippi Mills won the Great Veggie Grow-Off, as it did this year, with 3,385 lbs of food donated. This year, however it was down to 2,646 lbs, though the municipality still won the competition, with Carleton Place in second place. As for DNE, they donated 2,122 lbs of food in 2016 – and only 187 lbs this year. Perth was also way down, from 1,002 lbs last year to 367 lbs this year, and Tay Valley Township also suffered

Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin, centre, beams as he again holds high his winning cup, which runneth over, with his community having once again won the Great Veggie Grow Off for the fouth year in a row. He allowed Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos, left, to place a few fingers on the trophy in the Carleton Place Community Garden, beside St. Gregory school, as well as celebrity gardener Ed Lawrence, on Saturday, Oct. 14. from the overly moist weather, from a donation of 866 lbs in 2016 to 156 lbs this year. Smiths Falls was also down slightly, from 836 lbs to 684 lbs. However, Carleton Place (whose amounts were lumped in with Beckwith Township’s) saw their donation poundage increase, from 1,336 (jointly) last year, to 2,041 this year, 1,000 lbs of
which came from the community garden. Lanark Highlands Township was also up this year, from 574 lbs to 616 lbs. (An “unknown” amount, which could not be traced geographically, as it was left on the food bank’s entrance, of 160 lbs, was also registered.) Competitive spirit
However, 6,857 lbs of food was still raised from all participating communities, and it was once again Mississippi Mills’ chance to crow – though Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin let Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos speak first this past Saturday, because “it’s your patch,” with the pun intended. “My spirits have been dashed somewhat by the numbers up there,” said Antonakos. But, pointing to the vibrant garden around him, he noted that “this is one small project that has taken flight,” which has contributed to “the betterment of Lanark County.” He conceded defeat to Mississippi Mills, but warned that Carleton Place “may be down, but we are never out.” McLaughlin conceded that, this year, Carleton Place was “a serious contender,” in the grow-off. “We broke a bit of sweat in Mississippi Mills, for the first time in four years,” said McLaughlin. “Thank you for giving us something to compete against.” McLaughlin commended all of the growers for “digging deeper,” himself included. “I like to feed people, and I like to win,” he said. Setting friendly competitions like this in motion, “sets the seeds for future generations.” “How many more puns can I do?” McLaughlin then asked. “The day will come that Carleton
Place will get all of the newcomers gardening,” said McLaughlin, looking around the patch in Carleton Place. Joining the two men at the ceremony was famed Rideau Hall gardener Ed Lawrence, who is also well known as the gardening advice guru on the provincial call-in show “Ontario Today,” on CBC Radio One. “What’s needed is that (we) keep this going,” said Lawrence. “This is for future generations to come. In a country like this, that we need food banks (at all)…sucks big time.” “The hunger has not stopped,” Lawrence continued. “So we have to keep working. I think we can do it.” Community activist Jeff Mills agreed with Lawrence’s view. “Lots of people worry about their next meal,” said Mills. But competitions like the grow-off help “communities bring out the best in each other, when they challenge each other.” This was the fourth year for the Great Veggie Grow-Off, which kicks off annually on May 1, International Workers' Day. The initiative challenges all Lanark County residents to grow extra produce for their respective food banks. Food banks benefitting from this year's donations include The Hunger Stop (serving Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills), Lanark Highlands Food Pantry, The Table Community Food Centre in Perth and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.

Two Rivers Food Hub celebrates three years in operation, record growth in 2017 The Two Rivers Food Hub will soon be marking three years in operation, and a year of record growth and successful job creation while supporting the local food economy in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties. Bruce Enloe, general manager for the food hub, explained that the year 2017 has been a pivotal year for the Two Rivers Food Hub, and represents a period of growth he anticipates will continue to build upon in future years. “We’re pleased with how things are shaping up at the food hub, we’re definitely on track for reaching the goals that were outlined five years ago when the food hub started out,” Enloe said. Enloe went on to point out that since its opening in November 2014, the food hub has consistently met goals and strategic measures for success in acting as a connection point for buyers and sellers of local foods. Currently, the food hub is transporting local foods to restaurant and wholesale buyers throughout much of eastern Ontario, with clients that include an Ottawa-based casual
eating chain, many ‘field to table’ restaurants and institutional cafeterias. In addition, the Two Rivers Food Hub sells products from approximately 90 area farms, and reports more than $700,000 in annualized wholesale sales, recording an increase of 36 per cent in the previous quarter alone, a trend that seems destined to continue into 2018 as the food hub strives to reach its goal of $1.2 million in sales annually. Peter McKenna, Two Rivers Food Hub board chair, explained that the upward trend in sales is a good sign for the food hub, and an indicator of the strong support the communities in Lanark, Leeds Grenville and Ottawa have for local food incubation. “We don’t want to toot our own horn, but things are looking good for the food hub moving forward into 2018,” McKenna said. “The support we’ve received from the community, in addition to funding agencies like Valley Heartland, the Ontario Greenbelt Fund, the Trillium Foundation, the Eastern Ontario Development
Program (EODP), and the Collaborative Economic Development Program (CEDP) has been, and will continue to be, valuable indicators of the food hub’s success.” The Two Rivers Food Hub also plays in important role as full-time and part-time job
creator in the Lanark, Leeds Grenville areas. It has either directly or indirectly created employment for more than 50 people, with the bulk of the job creation coming from its in-demand commercial kitchen rentals, where more than 30 jobs have been created over the
past two years alone. The commercial kitchen provides local food processors with an incubation space in which to grow their business, and as of 2017 more than 35 food processors have taken advantage of the kitchen space, creating an estimated $2.5 million of re-

Lanark County Social Housing launches Key of Possibility campaign BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Lanark County councillors took turns signing a giant key cutout at their Oct. 11 meeting as part of a way to raise awareness of homelessness. The county’s social housing
department launched its Key of Possibility social media campaign on Oct. 1, which will run until Nov. 17. “The campaign aims to bring awareness of the housing concerns in our community,” noted promotional material from Lanark County Social Housing.
“We would like to see how you would use the ‘Key of Possibility’ to make positive changes to social housing in Lanark County.” Participating is simple – all you have to do is write a statement of the possibilities your key would unlock and take a picture of yourself with your sign. Post it
so social media using the hashtag #MyKeyWould or email it to housingapplications@lanarkcounty.ca, where it will be posted on Lanark County’s Facebook
and Twitter pages. According to Lanark County Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place Mayor), his key would “open the door for hous-
ing for all,” while Lanark County’s children’s services manager, Mary Lou White hoped for “affordable, sustainable, accessible options.”

Kings Creek hazard land mapping public open house set for Nov. 8 The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has completed a hazard mapping study for Kings Creek — a tributary of the Jock River — from the Brunton Side Road to the Jock River. Members of the public are invited to an upcoming open house to review regulations and hazard maps. This study provides new mapping that show areas that are prone to natural hazards such as flooding and erosion and have natural environmental features such as wetlands. The mapping will be used by the City of Ottawa and the townships of Beckwith and Montague when updating their Official Plan and zoning schedules and in the review of development applications under the Planning Act. RVCA will also use the mapping to guide the review of development applications submitted under the RVCA’s Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation. The goal of this mapping is to help ensure that sound planning decisions are made — keeping people and property safe. Accurate engineered hazard mapping is the foundation of effective floodplain and resource management. Members of the public are encouraged to attend the open house and/or provide comments on the mapping. Conservation authority staff welcome historical records of past flood events, news clippings, photographs and even anecdotal stories to help confirm the reasonableness of calculations and resulting hazard mapping. For those unable to attend the open house, mapping can also be seen online at www.rvca.ca/kings-creekmapping-study and comments sent to Ferdous Ahmed, RVCA senior water resources engineer at ferdous. ahmed@rvca.ca. To understand how mapping may affect your property, you can contact an RVCA resource specialist at development@rvca.ca or complete an online property inquiry form at www.rvca.ca/regulationsplanning/general-property-inquiries. The Kings Creek regulations and hazard land mapping public open house will take place Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at St. Clare Mission Hall, 4001 Dwyer Hill Rd. S., Dwyer Hill. This study is being done through a collaboration involving the City of Ottawa and the Rideau Valley, Mississippi Valley and South Nation conservation authorities. The RVCA is currently working on several studies in the Ottawa area. For a complete list on ongoing work, please visit www. rvca.ca. Submitted by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority

COMMENTARY

Delivering precious cargo
ith the arrival of National School Bus Safety Week, it is disconcerting to read a Leeds County OPP release about there having been several recent reports of motorists failing to stop for flashing red lights. Although dash cams and similar devices are becoming more common and would help with efforts to investigate incidents and lay charges, that will not provide a quick fix for the ongoing problem associated with drivers who don't seem to notice or care about how their behaviour is putting lives at risk. A fine of $400 plus six demerit points for a first conviction might, to some extent, serve as a deterrent. Having the fine doubled if the infraction occurs in a community safety zone might also help discourage drivers from taking the chance. Knowing that the local constabulary is probably making more of an effort at this time of year to enforce school bus rules of the road is also something motorists should consider. Unfortunately, there can't be a
cruiser on every block during those weekday morning and afternoon pickup and drop-off periods. According to the Ontario School Bus Association, there are more than 18,000 professional drivers whose job it is to safeguard more than 825,000 elementary and secondary students — about two-fifths of the province's total school population. Parents rely on those professionals to ensure that children are transported to and from their homes safely five times a week, 10 months a year. Apparently, it adds up to in excess of 2 million kilometres of driving every day. Is it too much for all the other drivers on the road to do their part by being aware of their surroundings and to stop when a school bus is flashing its red lights and extending its stop arm as youngsters await to climb aboard or exit the vehicle? It shouldn't be. "Help keep our children safe," note the OPP. "Pay attention!"
Father comes to an acceptance of Mother’s attempts to bring the outdoors in Some fall seasons Mother liked more than others. When it got so cold, we had to start wearing our felt slippers after supper, and the frost came early, Mother got a look of despair on her face. Winter wouldn’t be far off, and that would mean snow, ice, and trips into Renfrew only when necessary. It would mean the small panes of glass in the windows would be frosted up, and the trees in the yard, would be as bare as badgers. But that year, fall held off, and the warm days Mother loved, held on. A few bright orange and red leaves still clung to the big maple tree in our backyard, but the ground around formed a soft blanket of vivid colours.

Mother loved the fall leaves, and when the warmth of a late summer hung on, she didn’t seem to mind the coming of winter so much. That year Mother went out to the backyard under the maple tree, and choosing very carefully, the most perfectly formed, and the brightest of the coloured leaves, she brought them into the house. She would take a slab of hard wax, which came in sheets of four or six in a box, and melt it on the back of the cook stove. The wax would have been bought for melting and then pouring into the tops of jars of relishes, pickles, jams and jellies to prevent mould from forming. The pot stayed on the reservoir to keep it from reforming
fully she would gently take one leaf at a time and dip it into the melted wax. Then each waxed leaf was put on a spread-out copy of the Renfrew Mercury, where it sat until the wax had hardened to Mother’s liking. into a hard mass. All the leaves Mother had picked so carefully from the backyard were perfectly formed and with their stems still attached. They would be gently placed on a tea towel on the bake table, in order of size. I could watch, but I couldn’t touch a leaf in case it would break. This was a job for Mother alone. Bringing the pot of melted wax to the bake table, very care-

antenna on your cell phone. The exception is if your car has a built-in antenna on the outside of the car and a hands-free option with speaker (unfortunately not the majority of cars), the EMR inside the car will be lower while in use because the phone does not have to use as much power to keep a steady signal. If there is no built-in antenna on the outside of the car, the EMR may be substantially higher inside the car, in both standby and talking mode, than when you’re talking/using outside of a car. With ongoing reconnection to microwave towers, the metal in the car reflects the non-ionizing radiation of your cell phone back at you. Same as in airplanes/trains. To help visualize this: understand that a microwave oven microwaves the food so well because the non-ionizing microwave radiation reflects off the sides of the metal box that it is. Same with the non-ionizing radiation of a cellphone in use (not in airplane mode) in a car, plane or train – all metal boxes. It’s a form of microwaving the passengers inside (albeit a little bit slower!). In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified non-ionizing radiofre-

More research shows that cell phone radiation unravels DNA with time. We cannot be too careful. Last week at least one new phone on the market came out that will automatically convert to airplane mode when in a travelling vehicle, unless a call comes in twice by the same number, it will convert back and let the call go through as it could be an emergency. I applaud this new feature as it’s possible to forget to put one’s phone on airplane mode when in a moving vehicle until the habit is in place. If you don’t have that phone yet, make sure it’s your new habit to switch to airplane mode when you sit down to drive or be one of the passengers. The benefit is that you won’t be distracted by incoming texts as they will all be there, saved when you stop the vehicle as well as your phone calls as voicemails. Even better, put the phone out of reach so you won’t succumb to your fear of missing out (FOMO)/curiosity of “is anyone trying to reach me?” that we are susceptible to.

I envision a time when cell phone etiquette will be the norm and it will be akin to second hand smoke. Cell phone use off airplane mode will be limited in moving vehicles and it will be custom to ask permission to convert off airplane mode with your phone, especially with young children in a car, who are so much more susceptible to this radiation. The research is there to support this, despite Big Telecom’s assurance of safety. As a holistic nutritionist, I now have clients with electrohypersensitivity (EHS), confined to their homes to limit EMR exposure. The effects are real; I have seen it with my own eyes and the numbers are growing.

Dream come true: Nov. 4 Latin Fiesta to help SchoolBOX reach 100th classroom Affectionately known as “the little charity that could,” SchoolBOX started with little more than a notebook and a pencil, and a dream to educate children in Nicaragua. At this year’s annual Latin Fiesta on Nov. 4, community members will rally together to support the construction of SchoolBOX’s 100th classroom in the remote community of El Caracol in early 2018. Executive director Sarah Kerr said, “the fact that our 100th classroom is within sight is truly a dream come true. We simply would not be able to reach this goal without the constant support and love from our hometown of Almonte.” SchoolBOX founder Tom Affleck and Kerr built the first SchoolBOX classrooms in the community of San Santiago on Big Corn Island in 2008, with the help of friends and family from Almonte. Replacing a crumbling old structure that had been severely damaged by hurricane Mitch, the new classrooms provided 50 children with the opportunity to go to school. At the time, they had already begun giving out simple school supplies to students. Affleck and Kerr recognized the impact that the supplies had for Nicaraguan families who no longer had to choose between feeding their kids or sending them to school with notebooks and pencils.

SchoolBOX is preparing for its annual Latin Fiesta fundraiser, which endeavours to help educate chlidren in Nicaragua by building schools, providing school supplies, training teachers, etc. This year’s fundraiser will help mark the 100th classroom built by SchoolBOX. Benefitting from those funds will be the teachers and students at El Caracol School, above. they envisioned the possibility that one day SchoolBOX would be able to build 100 classrooms in Nicaragua and equip thousands of deserving kids with the supplies they needed to get an education. What seemed like an "impossible" dream in 2008 is
about to become a reality in 2018. Fiesta guests will get an exclusive chance to see SchoolBOX’s brand new documentary short film as part of the night’s festivities. “This new film tells the life stories of our Nicaraguan director Ronald
Chavarria and our programs manager Jazmin Lopez,” explained Kerr. “These two are really the heartbeat of SchoolBOX. Born into extreme poverty, they could have had the same fate as nearly half of Nicaraguan children who are not able

to complete elementary school. Instead, through incredible perseverance and the gift of school supplies from some unlikely mentors in their lives, they both beat the odds and not only graduated from elementary school but also high school and university. Ronald and Jazmin were able to overcome poverty in one generation through education, and they now oversee the construction of classrooms, the installation of libraries, the delivery of reading days, and they host our international volunteers. They are amazing role models, and together are raising up a new generation of young, educated Nicaraguans.” Kerr hinted that documentary stars themselves may make a “redcarpet” appearance from Nicaragua at the Fiesta. Fiesta chair Brad Weir and many dedicated volunteers on the Fiesta Committee have also put together a silent auction with unique items and experiences donated by local businesses, artists, and community members as well as a live auction with which will feature a trip to Costa Rica.

Visit to Westminster Abbey an intriguing step back in time Queen Elizabeth II was crowned there. Queen Elizabeth I is entombed within its walls. The emotional funeral for Diana, Princess of Wales, was held there 20 years ago. The composer Handel paid to be interred inside this world famous building. Little wonder that people line up endlessly, six days a week, for a chance to tour a structure which is always among the top 10 attractions in London, England. Many of you will already know that I’m referring to Westminster Abbey which, along with Notre Dame in Paris and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, is consistently listed as one of the top 10 most famous churches in the world. The history of the magnificent Gothic church is remarkable in and of itself. The fact that more than 3,000 people including queens, kings, statesmen, soldiers, actors and poets are buried in the abbey adds to the allure that prompts more than a million visitors a year to tour the church. My wife and I have visited the abbey many times over the years. We regularly recommend it to family and friends as one of the “must-see” attractions in the British capital. I have yet to hear from anyone who was disappointed by their visit. In September 2016, my son and I spent 10 days in London. It was Craig’s first time in the city and although Westminster Abbey was on our “to-do list,”
we only saw it from the outside. Our planned tour never materialized as we simply ran out of time. Last month, we returned to busy London. We made sure to schedule time for a tour of the abbey. Afterward, Craig said he was glad we did! An adult ticket costs £20 ($33 CDN) and if you purchase in advance (we did through the concierge at our hotel) you can enter directly and avoid the often hour-long queue. Guided tours are available and having taken two of them in the past, I recommend it, especially for first-time visitors. However, with a busy day planned, we opted for the audio guide, which is excellent and comes free with your admission ticket. When you press the button on the English guide, a familiar voice greets you. Popular British actor Jeremy Irons is the narrator. With the summer tourist season over, we visited on a relatively quiet Wednesday. But even when the abbey is crowded you are never rushed. You’re welcome to explore this intriguing location at your leisure. Situated across from the British Parliament buildings (also called Westminster), the abbey is first and foremost a place of worship. For anyone interested, services are free with evensong held at 5 p.m. daily. I am impressed by how respectful people are as they tour the abbey. No

loud conversation. Visitors talk in whispers and are clearly impressed by what they are seeing. Royal tombs To me, it’s the virtual “who’s who” of royalty, politicians, explorers, inventors, writers and actors interred within the towering church which is most intriguing. Virtually every royal burial during the 500 years between the deaths of King Henry III in 1272 and King George II in 1760 took place in Westminster Abbey. Two notable exceptions are Henry VIII and Charles I (he was executed for high treason in 1649 at age 48), both of whom are entombed in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. I have viewed Henry’s burial vault at Windsor which also contains the remains of his third wife Jane Seymour and the unfortunate Charles I. Most kings and queens since George II are buried in St. George’s Chapel including the parents of the current queen, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
But who else, besides those I have already mentioned, are interred within the walls of Westminster Abbey? Well, the list is a long one with more than 3,000 burials involved. Prominent people buried in the church nave include Clement Attlee, Britain’s labour prime minister from 1945-1951; explorer and medical missionary David Livingstone; and influential physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton. The north transept includes the graves of statesman William Pitt the Elder and his son William Pitt the Younger. Father and son are both past British prime ministers. The church’s south transept is where famous “Poet’s Corner” in located. I mentioned earlier that German-born composer George Frideric Handel was able to purchase a crypt in the abbey. But the area gets its name from the many famous poets entombed there including Thomas Hardy, John Dryden, Robert Browning, Geoffrey Chaucer, Samuel Johnson, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Rudyard Kipling. Other well-known personages entombed in Poet’s Corner include novelist Charles Dickens and more recently actor Laurence Olivier, who died in 1989. To me, the most awe-intriguing location in the abbey is the Henry VII Chapel, one of several separate chapels within the imposing edifice. The main feature is the grave of Elizabeth I. She

shares the tomb with her half-sister and predecessor Queen Mary I. Ironically, an impressive tomb on the opposite aisle contains the remains of Elizabeth’s rival, Mary Queen of Scots. Elizabeth saw her as a threat and had Mary confined for years. In 1586, the unfortunate Mary was tried and found guilty for allegedly plotting to assassinate Elizabeth. The following year, she was beheaded. Of course, Westminster Abbey is also the place where the queens and kings of England and Britain are crowned. In fact, royal coronations have taken place there exclusively since 1066. Dating back to 1100, 16 royal weddings have taken place in the church. As you finish your tour, before exiting through the famous west doors, you can view both the Coronation Chair (in a glass case on the left) and the "Tomb of the Unknown Warrior" which contains the remains of a British soldier killed in Europe during the First World War. The interment took place on Nov. 11, 1920 simultaneous with the reburial of an unknown French First World War casualty at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. There is so much to see in the magnificent, 700-year-old building that it’s impossible to do in one visit. As its own website notes, “The Abbey is a must-see, living pageant of British history.” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

County councillors get first look at 2018 community grant recommendations to buildings (renovation, purchase, etc.) or to provide money for fundraising ventures. There are two types of grants – a project grant, which provides annual funding of up to $10,000 and program grant, which reflects long-term funding, to a maximum of $50,000. Drynan noted that since 2018 is an election year, no program grants are being proposed. As a result of evaluations, the working group recommended seven projects for funding, including: - Food for Thought Lanark County ($5,000 of $9,000 ask) looks to sustain and enhance nutrition programs at county schools by purchasing food for the initiative. - Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit ($6,000 of $10,000 ask), to establish a program that would provide dental treatment services to those who cannot afford it. - Lanark County Public Libraries ($11,058 – full ask), to give residents who don’t have Internet
access at home the option of borrowing Wi-Fi hotspots from each public library. - Lanark County 4-H Association ($2,000 – full ask) to market 4-H throughout the county. - Lanark County Tourism Association ($5,000 of $10,000 ask) for one of two initiatives; establishing a signature experience program and creating a presence at the Ottawa Travel & Vacation Show. - Mills Community Support ($2,500 of $10,000 ask) for its “Get a Grip” Lanark Falls Prevention Project, which would provide boot grippers to county seniors. - Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust ($1,380 – full ask) to purchase road signage to promote the recreational and health benefits of its conservation lands. Several county councillors questioned providing $11,058 to the public libraries for their Internet program. “I’m not sure it’s a good use of $11,000,” admitted Coun. Shaun
McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills Mayor). “I want to now more about this library hotspot stuff. It sounds fuzzy to me.” “It’s for residents who do not have Internet access from home,” confirmed Greaves. “They can borrow the Internet (stick) and use it at home.” McLaughlin still wasn’t convinced of the project, noting “we’ve spent a lot of money to get computers into our libraries.” “Every other grant is either denied or cut back but the libraries get the full amount,” he said. Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) had issues with the health unit and library initiatives, given that municipalities currently fund those organizations. “I wonder if we should be looking at our criteria again, when it comes to the health unit and public libraries,” he said. “Lower tier municipalities give libraries See GRANTS page 17

Seven organizations within Lanark County could be receiving community grants funds in 2018. During the Oct. 11 Lanark County community services committee meeting, clerk/deputy CAO Leslie Drynan provided staff ’s recommendations for the 2018 recipients in the community grants program. She noted that while the 2018 community grants budget is $281,872, reflecting a two per cent increase over 2017, “with funding allocations for program grants being approved for two years (2017 and 2018), this results in a relatively small amount of funds for 2018.” Due to this, $248,934 of the 2018 figure is already committed. This includes $200,000 ($40,000 each) for the five youth centres in Lanark County. Drynan said that left $32,000 for 2018.
A total of 16 organizations made funding requests totaling $157,638. A working group made up of Drynan, CAO Kurt Greaves, children’s services manager Mary Lou White and financial analyst Kevin Wills. Applications were evaluated against the following criteria: If the organization was requesting full program funding; whether the program would go ahead without support; does the program currently exist and has county funding been received in the past; as well as does it currently exist with other funding sources. “The intent of the program is to award grants to projects that have a direct impact on the people of our community or an indirect impact by increasing the capacity of organizations to initiate and sustain local projects,” Drynan explained. Categories included human services, agriculture/forestry, arts/heritage/tourism and funds can’t be used to replace program funding, cover deficits or debts, contribute

funding and we (county) give the the health unit $1 million and here we’re going to give them more.” “If someone’s already funded by the municipal government, we shouldn’t be giving them more out of this grant program,” Kidd added. Putting forward a motion to defer the decision until the next county council meeting on Oct. 25, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place Mayor) said would allow councillors more time to take a closer look at the recommendations. “I like what I see generally. Staff are representing us really well, but I’m a little bit fuzzy on the library issue as well,” he stated. “…It’s also worthy of one last
look at the criteria.” The current community grants program was adopted by county council in October 2015 to streamline the process. Coun. Brian Campbell (Tay Valley Deputy Reeve) said reviewing the criteria each year second guesses staff ’s recommendations. “We’ve already given staff the direction to do this and then we turn around and go against staff direction. We do it all the time,” he commented. Coun. Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands Mayor) and community services committee chair, agreed with Campbell. “This is our second year questioning the recommendations,” he said. It’s expected the matter will be up for discussion again on Oct. 25.

'The Marvelous Wonderettes' — a mesmerizing musical blast from the past Four spirited and romantic young women. Four spectacularly harmonious voices. Four vibrant 1958 prom dresses. Add to that, 16 memorable rockin’ 50s songs accompanied live by musical director Brad Mills and his merry band of four accomplished local musicians. And voila! You have the recipe for a magical, memorable night: the girls’ senior prom and your evening

ready to surprise and touch you with their stories since high school graduation — and another set of 18 unforgettable classic songs, this time from the 60s. Roger Bean is the creator of this long-running Broadway hit (18 months at the Westside Theatre) along with three popular sequels. The Marvelous Wonderettes received the 2007 LA Ovation Award for Best Musical for the Los Angeles production and it continues to be an audience favourite in regional and amateur theatre companies throughout North America. The 2015 Ottawa production sold out all five performances at the Gladstone Theatre and it is expected that the Perth production will do the same.

Frommer are extremely proud to bring The Marvelous Wonderettes to Perth’s Studio Theatre stage as a fundraiser for YAK. The Wonderettes project follows on IWP’s successful collaboration with Studio Theatre Productions in August 2016, which raised $12,000 for the Jillian O’Connor Family Fund through the production of Canadian playwright Grant Tilly’s musical, Bingo Ladies. Again, there will be a super silent auction, prom dress cookie sale and the return of textile artist Lin Dickson’s original Bags From Bits. Lin has added gorgeous Muskoka mitts to her product line and you have to see them to believe them — fabulous Christmas, Hanukkah or one-of-a-kind gifts for any occasion. YAK is Perth’s own spectacularly innovative youth centre, offering a free after school program for youth aged 10-18 from 3-7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Activities are planned to suit a wide range of abilities and interests, with an emphasis on personal growth, physical activity, healthy eating, teamwork and fun. YAK staff works — and plays — hard to ensure that programs are inclusive and fun, and that every youth who comes through the door feels safe, welcome and respected. To learn more about YAK or the fall/winter programs, call 613264-8381, visit at www.yakyouth. ca or check out the Facebook page at YAK Youth Services. Five performances of The Marvelous Wonderettes, starting Thursday, Nov. 2, means there are fewer than a thousand seats available to see this limited run, not-to-be-missed production. You may very well want to come back again before it closes on Nov. 5. The three evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 2, 3 and 4, while two matinee shows start at 2 p.m. on Nov. 4 and 5. Tickets are available at www. ticketsplease.ca at $30, general admission, and $20 for students. Opening night is $5 off and there are group rates available for all other shows. If you graduated in 1958, you are eligible for a free ticket! Here’s what you need to do: 1) Buy your tickets now! 2) Don’t be shy. Consider dressing up in prom gear when you come to the theatre. 3) Bring along a few toonies (or indie women two productions will take paper money too!) for treats and YAK donations. 4) Make your way to Perth’s Studio Theatre for the performance(s) of your choice, and, 5) Have the time of your life! A marvelous evening with the Wonderettes is guaranteed. Submitted by indie two women productions

These car owners should set a budget on how many more repairs to put into their ride “Hi Brian, I have neighbours that are having terrible car problems. It keeps stalling, wait a second or two and it starts again; away you go for goodness only knows for how long. They’ve been to two local dealerships and called another for advice, but nothing works. These neighbours are not wealthy and have health issues galore, with many medical appointments and a very unsafe car. Hope you can help. It's a 2002 Nissan Sentra. A new fuel pump, new crank sensor and an oxygen sensor have been installed. It's a nice little car with only 158,000 kilometres on it. Any help would be appreciated.” Thanks, Jack I checked my sources and there is no single common system or part that might cause this problem. With the age of this vehicle, it could be anything from a mass airflow sensor to an engine computer to any number of wiring issues. Reading between the lines, it
sounds like this is an intermittent issue that leaves very few clues as to its cause (e.g. computer diagnostic trouble codes). I certainly wouldn't suggest throwing any more parts at it until the failure can be verified by a technician. They should make arrangements to leave it at either a dealer or a reputable independent shop long enough for their staff to drive it until it stalls (this may take several days). It would be best to choose the facility that has the most experience with them and their Sentra. Running to different shops to sort this out will only guarantee wasted spending. This is about the only way to reduce the amount of unsuccessful trials. Note that I said reduce, not eliminate. With its age and mileage, it’s entirely possible that this little car has more than one problem. They should speak with the shop manager up front and explain their situation and bring all the relevant repair invoice copies with them. The big problem is that this vehicle
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
is worth less than $2,000 wholesale at best and based on just these few repairs alone, they’ve probably spent half of that already. They should set a firm spending limit with the shop for diagnostics and if the problem can't be found with certainty within that limit, then they need to consider their alternatives, such as replacing this vehicle. “Greetings Brian, I noticed the oil pressure gauge on my 2005 Chevrolet Blazer drops from about 300 (assuming psi) to 275 after changing the oil and filter every six months. Is that increase due to the old filter getting clogged? Would that be a good indication that an oil and filter
change is due?” Thanks SV Thanks for the question. The oil pressure reading you’re seeing on your Chev’s instrument panel is actually 30 psi and 27.5 psi not 300 or 275. It will usually read higher on cold starts when the colder oil exerts more pressure on the sensor along with the elevated idle speed. When the engine warms up and the idle drops, the pressure reading will also be lower. When you're stopped in drive with your foot on the brake, the load of the transmission will lower the idle speed even more, thus lowering the pressure reading. On a good engine, this can range from 20-80 psi. With age, the port on the sensor that allows oil to enter it for a reading can become restricted due to deposits and this will make it inaccurate. That’s why most techs will install a new sensor before doing any further diagnostics on an engine with low oil pressure readings unless other symptoms (such as top end en-
gine noises) are present. A dirty oil filter shouldn't affect the operating pressure, unless it’s almost clogged. It has a pressure relief valve that will bypass the filter if a sufficient amount of oil can't flow through it. Never use the pressure reading to determine when to change the oil and filter but rather the owner's manual. Depending on time and distance travelled you may need to change it more often or less than twice a year. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive, please drop me a line (by email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, Ont. K7A 4T1). When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume I can’t always promise replies). Yours in service, Brian Turner

Classic Theatre Festival honoured with five Capital Critics Circle Awards nominations Some of Canada’s top theatre reviewers have honoured the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth with a record-breaking five awards nominations in the professional theatre category for the 2017 Capital Critics Circle Awards, which will be announced at a special ceremony in Ottawa Nov. 13. The five nominations cover all three mainstage shows that ran during the festival’s summer season, which once again drew thousands of tourists to Perth, many of whom also took in the highlyregarded theatrical walking plays that now run seven times a week throughout the summer. The festival’s staging of George Bernard Shaw’s Candida, directed by Laurel Smith, picked up nods for Best Production, Best Direction, and Best Actor for William Vickers in his performance as Mr. Burgess. (The festival’s 2016 production of a Shaw show, Arms and the Man, was similarly nominated in the same categories, with Lana Sugarman winning as best female actor, while Vickers was also nominated two years ago for his role in Neil Simon’s I Ought to Be in Pictures.) Sugarman picked up her second consecutive Best Actor nomination for this year’s beloved production of Canadian Bernard Slade’s
After winning a best actor award in 2016, Lana Sugarman has again received a best actor nomination with the Capital Critics Circle Awards for her role in the Bernard Slade comedy Same Time, Next Year, one of five award nominations for this year’s Classic Theatre Festival.

timeless Same Time, Next Year, while Ottawa’s Roger Schultz was nominated for his set design in another Canadian playwright’s mystery thriller, Peter Colley’s I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. Upon hearing the news, Sugarman thanked her director, Laurel Smith, for “guiding me to do my strongest work in some incredible roles,” as well as “my magical coactor, Scott Clarkson. You can't get a Best Actress nomination in a two-hander without the best partner up there with ya!” For artistic producer Laurel Smith, the critical attention being paid to the Classic Theatre Festival is “a tribute to the remarkable talent that puts these plays on every summer. We are so privileged to host some of this country’s finest talent both onstage and behind
the scenes, and I really believe these award nominations speak to the team effort that is required to put on the shows, whether it is stage management, lighting design, costume design, set design, the front of house folks who do such a great job making our guests feel welcome and at home, and the young people in our theatre training program who are at the forefront of what it means to be a Perth ambassador.” Smith also extended congratulations to other award nominees, including numerous National Arts Centre shows, and said that while she looks forward to the Ottawa party, she’s also busy planning the 2018 summer season which, in addition to three golden age of Broadway and the London stage classics, will also include a brand new morning walking play, a new ghost walk, and a mystery show surprise that will be announced in December. Advance Super Savings Flex Passes are now on sale for the 2018 summer season, which give guests a 25 per cent discount and the flexibility to pick their dates next year. Those are now available at www. classictheatre.ca or 1-877-2831283. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival

Beckwith Township unveils new plaque in Prospect BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
A new plaque has been unveiled in Beckwith Township telling the story of the village of Prospect. On Sunday, Oct. 1, the day of the annual Doo in the Derry, Beckwith council, staff and members of the heritage committee and public gathered outside Prospect United Church on Richmond Road for the reveal. “The plaque talks about the early settlers in Prospect, and the importance of the road from Richmond to Perth – the road through Prospect,” Kidd told the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 14. In regards to the initiative, “this term of council thinks it is an important thing,” he said. The first families to settle in Beckwith arrived in 1818. Noted on the new plaque: “One of these groups of highlanders left Perthshire in the spring of 1818 after a long voyage across the ocean.

A new plaque has been unveiled in Beckwith Township telling the story of the village of Prospect. On Sunday, Oct. 1, the day of the annual Doo in the Derry, Beckwith council, staff and members of the heritage committee and public gathered outside Prospect United Church on Richmond Road for the reveal. to Gillies Corners and further on to Perth. In 1816, following the War of 1812, the Perth Military Settlement offered land grants north of the Rideau to emigrants from Scotland, and to veterans of British regiments, encouraging them to stay in Upper Canada, to help build and defend the fledgling colony. By 1857, Prospect’s population was 75, and it had daily mail. Some of the prominent people were as follows: William Baxter, shoemaker; John Burrows, postmaster and store and tavern keeper; William
Coleman, Wesleyan minister; Patrick Devine, carpenter and joiner; William James, sawmill owner; Fleming May, schoolmaster; Joseph Morris, blacksmith; Johnny Porter, blacksmith; James Sanders, carpenter and joiner; John Scott, sawmill and carpenter’s shop owner; Peter Stewart, tailor; and John Tombleson, shoemaker. Prospect United Church was chosen as the location for the new plaque because “we own it, and it is a very visible spot,” Kidd explained. The church was closed in 2002, following 180 years of service.

LCIH
From front page
“When you escape that, understandably, the person who had that power and control is not pleased,” Lee said. Lanark County is made up of rural communities, and women living in a rural area are 30 per cent more likely to be threatened by a gun. “We are receiving more calls from women who are talking about guns,” Lee noted. Leaving an abuser can be difficult for a victim, but it can be even harder if a pet is involved. Many abuse victims will delay their departure if they cannot bring their animals. Unfortunately, LCIH does not have facilities to shelter pets. However, it does have a relationship with Safe Pet Ottawa, which is able to support and foster pets during transition. Moreover, there are a number of respected pet lovers in area communities who regularly foster pets for women and children/ youth who are staying at the shelter. “We are seeing more women who are farmers ... giving up their homesteads and all those animals,” Lee stated. “We are seeing a new emergence of complexities that we are not used to.” “The issues are growing and expanding around violence in our community,” she added. Second stage housing The peace of mind that comes with having a safe and stable home is invaluable.
Unlike a first stage or crisis shelter, which responds to short-term emergencies, second stage housing offers secure and affordable housing to abused women, with or without children, for up to one year. It “lessens the pressure on women to accept substandard housing, and it supports healing as women reintegrate into the community and participate in community life,” Lee explained. Too, “there is increased safety for women and kids,” she added. “The police are very mindful and very aware of us ... they are always on alert.” LCIH’s second stage housing will be in a secure building in Carleton Place, and it will be composed of individual units rather than communal living. “I am not in a position at this time to release the location,” Lee said. “Confidentiality and safety is something we need to consider.” There will be six units: four single dwellings and two family residences. Rent will be affordable and geared to income. “A single unit may accommodate a woman with one small child — maybe two,” Lee stated. “The family units will likely support a mom with three to four children.” The building will be staffed Monday to Friday, up to seven hours a day, in conjunction with 24-7 support from LCIH staff (crisis line and security monitoring). Staffing support in Carleton Place will include space for a co-ordinator
and transitional support co-ordinator, in addition to floating office space for client meetings. “There will be a group meeting space, and we are currently considering moving our outreach offices into that building,” Lee said. “This is an opportunity for us to have six units for women to get stabilized, get situated and begin that healing process and contribute to the community like they always intended,” she stressed. “It will also help us free up beds in our emergency shelter.” Tiree’s Duncan McNaughton and his wife, Fiona McNaughton, residents of Carleton Place, have been longtime friends of LCIH. Ten years ago, the couple stopped by LCIH and had a conversation with Lee. The executive director explained: “When they immigrated to Canada from Scotland they had two suitcases and somebody gave them a break. Now, they wanted to pay it forward and give us a break.” “I applaud Duncan for taking this on,” deputy mayor Jerry Flynn said. “I am hoping council can do whatever it can to make this project work.” Mayor Louis Antonakos thanked Lee for her presentation, and for thinking of women’s needs in the community, particularly as they relate to violence. Too, he is happy LCIH is working with someone who has a proven track record. “Duncan McNaughton and Tiree have been front and centre for some key
issues in our community.” On a personal note, the mayor shared the following story: “A family member of mine was a resident of Carleton Place not that long ago. The only reason they were a resident of Carleton Place was because of their need for the services at Lanark County Interval House. I can tell you their residence before coming to Carleton Place was a long drive away.” Both Antonakos and Lee noted Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier is very supportive of the second stage housing project. In March 2016 at Queen’s Park in Toronto, Hillier spoke openly about his family’s horrifying domestic violence incident. For a week in October 2015, Hillier, his daughter, his grandchildren and his wife “were in hiding,” following what he called “a very violent home invasion,” at the hands of his daughter’s partner. LCIH is asking Carleton Place to support the second stage housing project. “Consider waiving, forgiving or reducing our annual taxes on the property,” Lee said. “We would further request the town consider waiving related fees and construction permits in support of establishing second stage housing.” Possession of the subject building took place on Oct. 1. However, occupancy is expected in June 2018.
housing presentation to Lanark County’s community services committee on Oct. 11. “This council has been awesome in terms of pushing the agenda of violence against women,” she said, referencing a recent opportunity created by Lanark County Warden Bill Dobson that allowed her to present to the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus. “It is an awesome opportunity for us when we get to spread the word, and it moves things forward in a very different forum.” During the meeting, Lee asked county councillors to create a designated budget line and “subsidize the rent of these units so they can be geared to income.” “The county can make this a budget priority, which is why I asked to be here this evening,” the executive director added. Lee was specifically seeking subsidies of $250 per unit, per month for the single units and $325 per unit, per month for the family units to “lesson some of that pressure.” Later in the community services meeting, council members instructed county staff to prepare a report that will be considered during the 2018 budget process. LCIH was originally hoping to secure a location in Perth for second stage housing, when Lee first made a presentation on the concept to the county Aug. 10, 2016.

Mock disaster in Carleton Place BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
A prolonged shaking awakened Carleton Place residents out of their sleep at 6:15 a.m. on Sept. 28. That was the opening scenario for Carleton Place’s annual emergency training exercise, which tests and evaluates the components of the town’s Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP). The MEMP identifies and develops the mechanisms and preparations necessary for the recovery from an emergency and the reduction of future risks. Municipalities are required by Emergency Management Ontario (EMO) to hold an emergency exercise each year.
Carleton Place’s training scenario last month was also a way to improve interagency communications, cooperation and collaboration. More than 20 people participated in the mock disaster, which was held in the town’s primary emergency operations centre (EOC), a special room upstairs at the fire/police headquarters on Coleman Street. Carleton Place’s secondary EOC is the council chambers inside the town hall on Bridge Street. Attendees on Sept. 28 included the following: public information officer (Amanda Charania); mayor (Louis Antonakos); deputy chief administrative officer (chief administra-
tive officer)/treasurer (Phil Hogan); public works; Ontario Clean Water Agency; Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital; Lanark County Paramedic Services; Ocean Wave Fire Company fire chief and deputy chief (Les Reynolds and Dave Joy); Insurance Bureau of Canada; Canadian Red Cross; Enbridge; CERV (Community emergency response volunteers); Ontario Provincial Police (OPP); local media; Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit; community programmer (Jessica Smith); Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority; and Victim Services Lanark County.

Kory Earle announces re-election campaign for People First of Canada president BY TARA GESNER
Earle will continue to raise the profile of People First of Canada. “We can be so proud of our achievements, so let us tell every Canadian community from coast to coast, in addition to the world, who we are and what we do,” he stated. People First of Canada “must continue to partner with organizations, the federal government ... partnership is key, and when we all work together then we all succeed,” Earle said. He added: “I will continue to ask tough questions, and I will not be afraid to stand up on issues ... at the end of the day I am accountable to the members.”
tgesner@metroland.com
Kory Earle is again running for the presidency of People First of Canada this November. At his home in Carleton Place on Oct. 12, using the slogan “He is not done, he has only begun,” Earle launched his campaign for re-election in front of family, friends, area politicians and media, unveiling a comprehensive platform. People First of Canada is the national voice for people who have been labeled with an intellectual disability. Earle was first elected as president of the organization for a three-year term in 2014. He also served one term as vice-president. Moreover, he served two terms as president of People First Ontario. “My vision is to ensure that every province and territory has a strong voice at the table, making sure that their issues, comments and concerns are dealt with, as well as giving many a second chance,” he stated. Calling himself a strong advocate for everyone (SAFE), “I want people to know they have a person who will listen to them, and they can feel safe telling me their stories,” Earle said. He will continue to work full time as president of People First of Canada, ensuring “I am available during the week, on weekends or when

Kory Earle is again running for the presidency of People First of Canada this November. At his home in Carleton Place on Oct. 12, Earle launched his campaign for re-election in front of family, friends, area politicians and media, unveiling a comprehensive platform. The election takes place in Winnipeg on Nov. 4. Earle is seen with Sandra Hurdis Finigan, representing local MP Scott Reid, and Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn. needed.” The candidate is committed to the continuation of an inclusive education committee, “putting an advisor on this.” “Inclusive education is so important, and we must continue to stand
up and say that all people deserve an education that is inclusive and not segregated,” Earle said. If re-elected, he is committed to mentoring new executive members over the next three years, “helping them lead this great organization.”
Proven skills Earle chairs Carleton Place’s accessibility committee, and he is a member of the Carleton Place Youth Centre board. Too, he chairs Carleton Place’s Christmas Day committee. Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid was unable to attend the event on Oct. 12; however, he sent a letter with staff member Sandra Hurdis Finigan. Reid called Earle “a natural leader ... someone who is compassionate and inspiring.” “He is a tireless advocate for the dignity and respect of those with intellectual disabilities so that they can be fully equal citizens in Canada,” the MP said. “He will continue to give
every province a voice by engaging in continuous dialogue with them.” The MP strongly supports Earle to continue his “strong leadership as president of People First of Canada.” “Kory has the skills to connect organizations and work towards one common goal,” Reid wrote. Adding to the accolades was Earle’s good friend, Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn. “Words are never hard to find when describing Kory, as I have been witness to the growth of an individual who I can truly describe as a humanitarian in every sense of the word,” he said. Flynn stressed: “His work as president of People First of Lanark County and People First of Ontario, and now running for a second term as president of People First of Canada, speaks to a person who truly cares for the individuals with disabilities that he has advocated for all these years.” Earle is never afraid to confront an issue. “Kory is well respected by all levels of government, for his efforts and knowledge,” Flynn added. “He is no stranger to Queen’s Park in Toronto and the House of Commons in Ottawa, and he was even invited to speak at the United Nations in New York City.” See EARLE page A/CP11
Next Step Toward AGH’s Electronic Health Record Begins October 24 Thank you for your patience! Almonte General Hospital is taking the next step toward an Electronic Health Record for its patients. On October 24th, Phase Two of the new Cerner system will “go-live’ to support better, safer patient care. Thank you for your patience and understanding over the next few weeks while staff learn to work in a new way.
Over the past few months, extensive planning and staff training has been underway. But it will take time for the entire team to get used to new ways of doing things. Extra staff will be on hand to help during this steep learning curve but things may take a bit longer and staff may seem tentative. That’s all part of the learning process. The team appreciates your understanding.
“The main hub for the patient Electronic Health Record was launched last March – and now it’s time to add some significant spokes,” explains Project Manager Katharine Gahan. This month, the clinical electronic documentation system will be added and there will be changes in the Lab, Pharmacy and Health Records.
Patients coming for care at AGH should go to the Registration Desk located in Emergency, which will be staffed around the clock. Emergency patients will be seen by a triage nurse. Day Hospital patients will still register right at the program.
With the new system, nurses, doctors and other clinical staff will use mobile work stations to input all documentation electronically. Built-in prompts and reminders will ensure that best practices are followed and care is standardized. In the Lab and Pharmacy, new systems will increase patient safety with enhanced features to check for errors, drug interactions and other red flags. The new Health Records system will allow better tracking of charts to ensure patient privacy.
One of the key benefits is real-time information. Care plans and reports will be available as soon as they are entered into the system. Midwives and Family Health Team physicians are also connected.
“As we move from a paper-based to electronic system, the result will be more coordinated care for our patients. We will also have more data to support our patient safety and quality initiatives,” sums up Mary Wilson Trider, President & CEO. AGH is implementing the new system as a member of the Georgian Bay Information Network – a partnership of six hospital corporations across three Local Health Integration Networks. Funding support has been provided by the Ministry of Health’s Small Rural Northern Transformation Fund.

EXERCISE
From page A/CP3
Duncan Rogers, community emergency management coordinator (CEMC), along with his staff put together the training scenario. Former Carleton Place employee Janet Baril acted as the training scenario’s scribe, writing down the steps taken by the group. Training scenario Following the prolonged shaking at 6:15 a.m., many Carleton Place residents experienced damage to both loose items in their homes and objects falling from their walls. Early reports from Hydro One signify power is out on the south side of town. Carleton Place OPP are aware traffic and street lights are also not working in many parts of the community. What is more, people have started to call the public works emergency number to report gushing water from hydrants in several locations. By 6:30 a.m., residents in the area of the Centennial Medical Centre (299 Lake Ave. E.) are reporting a loud noise from the main gas line on Francis Street. To make matters worse, there have been reports from the residents on the northeast side
of town near Dunlop Business Park of a chemical taste in the drinking water. A chrome plating plant called ABC Metals is situated at 105 Industrial Ave. “While specific details are not yet available, radio stations in Ottawa are reporting a magnitude 6.5 earthquake has hit the area, focused on the Ottawa River north of Dunrobin,” Rogers stated. “Further details of the incident will be provided by Environment Canada once they become available.” He added, “The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management has recommended effected local municipalities put their own emergency plans into effect until further notice.” The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital’s emergency department is starting to receive a number of residents who have various injuries. By 9 a.m. the town’s Municipal Operations Control Group has been requested to meet and the EOC is now up and operational. Rogers told participants, “You should hold roundtable status meetings throughout the exercise.” Participants were then given time to prepare actions based
upon the training scenario and the information provided to them. Ultimately, department and agency status reports were provided to the deputy chief administrative officer and shared with the group, with messaging prepared for the media and the public. “I thought it went well,” Reynolds said. “However, one of the things I will take away from today is that social media can be a curse in our business, but it can also be an aid.” “I think we should stress to residents, even if they are not actively on Facebook or Twitter, they should have it set up so they can follow the town because that is how we will be disseminating news as quickly as possible.” “There is also the town’s website,” Charania said. When Antonakos walked into the EOC, “I saw more agencies, which mean this is growing,” he said, and “when I see us all come together it lessens the stress that I know will be there when something like this happens.” “Each year, we learn something new to improve upon for the next exercise,” Rogers said, “and I’d like to thank everyone for coming today.”

Beckwith Township’s 2018 calendar now on sale BY TARA GESNER
Kidd said.
Bringing alive the history and beauty of the area, Beckwith Township’s 2018 calendar is now available for purchase. “However, it is about more than just the pictures,” reeve Richard Kidd told the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 13. In addition to the usual holidays, the calendar highlights a number of township events, including Beckwith Heritage Days, March Meltdown and Franktown Lilac Festival, just to name a few. Too, useful information such as large item pick up is offered, and there is a municipal map and an area to write down emergency and other important numbers. Beckwith has been doing a calendar for eight years, since 2009. “It is a way to promote the township,” Kidd explained, and “it is a way for us to communicate with our residents about important activities and key dates.” Moreover, the calendar offers local groups and schools an opportunity to make a little money, using it as a fundraising tool. “For every calendar they sell they get to keep 50 per cent,” the reeve noted. The calendars are $10 each and can be purchased at the municipal office, located at 1702 9th Line. They were published by BrownTrout Publishers, which acquired Carleton Place’s Wyman Publishing in 2013. “We printed 1,000 2018 calendars,” Kidd noted. “They make great Christmas gifts.” A committee of council, staff and one member of the public judged and selected the photos submitted for the calendar. Owing to the annual calendar, “we now have a library of photos from around the township,”
Pictures The month of January features a photo by Carleton Place photographer Robert McDonald. Titled "Bring in the New Year," the image showcases the annual familyfriendly New Year’s Eve fireworks at Beckwith Park. February’s circa 1901 photo of S.S #6 Derry School was submitted by Dorothy Lewis. Located on Kidd Road, the school closed to students in June 1945; however, it remained open for the community’s use for several years — until it was sold in 1966 and converted to a private residence. March’s photo by Dennis Butler shows a horse-drawn wagon ride during the township’s popular March Meltdown. Kidd’s daughter, Melissa KiddMcDaniel is the photographer behind April’s maple syrup snow candy picture, which is titled "Patiently waiting."

Dennis Butler, the image offers the names of Beckwith’s nine residents killed during the First World War (1914-1918). They are: Nursing Sister Jessie McDiarmid, Pte. David McLaren, Pte. Hugh McMillan, Pte. Cecil Smith, Pte. Andrew T. Hughton, Driver Herb Dowdall, Pte. Robert Boreland, Pte. Jerry P. O’Shea, and Pte. Arthur Officer. Flight Sgt. E. Earl Rathwell, Pte. Thomas B. Hope and Pte. E. Earl Porteous are the three locals who paid the supreme sacrifice for their
home and country in Second World War (1939-1945). McDonald captured December’s photo of Prospect United Church, located on Richmond Road. The church was originally constructed of log, and it was situated on the south side of the road, almost directly across from where it stands today. The Prospect Methodist Church moved it in 1847. Too, it was rebuilt of stone. Prospect United Church was closed in 2002, following 180 years of service. Today,
the township owns it. Kidd has three favourite months in the calendar: January, April and December. “I guess I better mention my daughter’s photo … if not, there goes a vote,” Kidd joked. Getting serious, he noted KiddMcDaniel’s maple syrup image represents Beckwith’s rural roots, agriculture and youth.

OPINION

Uncertain outcome of Bill 148 Sweeping changes to Ontario’s labour laws encapsulated in Bill 148 – Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act – will impact everyone, including local residents, businesses and municipalities. The far-reaching legislation includes proposed changes to maternity leave, sick leave, vacation days and on-call pay structures, in addition to the proposed minimum wage increase – the aspect of the bill which seems to be evoking the most discussion and debate. For most small towns and businesses, the impact of the minimum wage increase will sting. I’m talking about local farmers who hire seasonal workers, and town’s that rely on volunteer firefighters – like Smiths Falls. Economists and people in the business community have made the argument that if you increase the minimum wage, prices for goods will rise, jobs will be cut and the increase would do little to help inequality – ultimately hurting the people the minimum wage increase is intended to help. Ontario’s Financial Accountability Office has warned that the minimum wage increase to $15 an hour could result in an estimated loss of 50,000 jobs – with job losses expected to hit teens and young adults the hardest. But are these only short-term impacts? Will benefits of a higher minimum wage ultimately make our economy stronger and improve the quality of life for those relying on lowwage jobs? After all, an increase to the minimum wage could arguably increase purchasing power for those benefiting from the wage hike. Could this boost the economy from the bottom up? Right now, it’s mostly speculation. After all, there isn’t any solid evidence to show what the negative consequences would be on a large-scale. According to various empirical studies, following the very controversial study by two Princeton economists, David Card and Alan Krueger in the 1990s, there is almost no employment impact from moderate increase to the minimum wage, like that which has been proposed in Ontario. Card and Krueger highlighted the study’s finding in their book, Myth and Measurement, which showed virtually no impact of higher minimum wages on employment, and actually showed that
EVELYN HARFORD View From Here
in some cases the higher wages were connected with more employment. In the past 20 years, more research has come out in favour of increasing the minimum wage, showing that increasing wages of the lowest wage earners could reduce wage inequality and benefit society at large. Ontario’s plan to increase the minimum wage is not new. Alberta’s NDP government has already planned to increase its minimum wage to $15 in October 2018. Ontario is the second province in Canada to move forward on this. Currently, about 1.5 million Ontario workers make less than the proposed increase of $15. Now while I agree with the premise of increasing the minimum wage – after all most of the minimum wage employers are larger companies with more than 500 employees – I do worry about small business owners and small municipalities that may be forced to cut hours and reduce staff to stay in the black, which could ultimately impact taxpayers, local consumers and workers. Will employees working at around the $15 mark now, seek wage hikes for themselves too once minimum wage receive their 32 per cent raise? Will small businesses have to cut hours or Desmond Devoy/Metroland staff? Local farmers like those at Miller’s Bay Farm have already voiced their concern about the wage increases, fearing their prices may rise for their Singer Baily Rogers of Renfrew performed her first solo show at the Country Harvest Music Show on Sunproducts by around 12 per cent. day, Oct. 15 at the Carleton Place arena. Will consumers be willing to pay more for products? Yes, an increase to the minimum wage would benefit those who remain employed. But in a small community, will the increase in wages mean there are less jobs that pay a living wage to go around?

Celebrating academic achievement at Carleton Place High School BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place High School (CPHS) celebrated outstanding academic achievement from the previous school year on Oct. 16. The annual Honour Roll Assembly, held in the school’s cafetorium on Monday morning, saw 132 students earn certificates during the 2016 to 2017 school year. “This is a much-anticipated event in our school year,” guidance counsellor and Link Crew co-ordinator Tamarra Hoytema said. Although they are now in Grade 10 at CPHS, 40 students earned an average of 80 per cent or higher for the eight courses they completed during Grade 9. They are: Mackenzie Armitage, Taylor Birrell, Sam Bowers, Mikayla Bowes, Pyper Brandino, Jayden Brown, Alexa Button, Alicia Cadieux, Abigail Cameron, Connor Dunbar, Isabella Fournier, Abbie Giles, Bryana Hall, Lisa Hartill, Mat-
thew Holden, Emma Huibers, Ethan Laberge, Madison Lajeuness, Adain Litle, Breanna Lunn, Emily MacDonald, Rebecca MacDonald, Chloe Maxwell, Eryn McAllister, Sydney McCambley, Emma McCormick, Hayden Morden, Owen Perks, Molly Pinhey, Jacob Prentis, Zoey Read-Stafford, Jordan Ricketts, Mason Thompson, Mikayla Van Der Ham, Liza Vasylyshyna, Emma Vaughan, Michael Vaughan, Isabel Walford, Cassie Walker and Jenna Wicks. CPHS principal Eric Hardie presented medals to the top three achievers. They were Mackenzie Armitage (gold), Isabel Walford (silver) and Taylor Birrell (bronze). Thirty-six students, now in Grade 11, were recognized for obtaining 80 per cent or higher while in Grade 10 last year. “This was based on their top seven marks,” teacher Elizabeth Anderson said. The students are as follows: Clark Bains, Lorelei Baker, Chloe Belisle, Kira Bencz,
Maddie Birrell, Arianne Burnside, Isabella Carriere, Vitoria Chambers, Luke Chapman, Natalika Culhane, Oliver Day, Brianna Demers, Ben Dods, Piper Forsyth, Carly Freemark, Kelcy Giles, Sydney Hodgson, Liam Letourneau, Emma Lewis, Melissa Loiselle, Brendan Ly, Marla MacInnis, Kate Matchim, Tanis Morley, Pooja Narula, Cameron O’Connell, Sydney Osborne, Jillian Periard-Lidstone, Meghan Peterkins, Spencer Rodgers, Ryan Skeaff, Lauren Smarzik, Jackson Stecko, Olivia Van Horik, McKinley Van Klei and Rebecca Whitmarsh. Presented with medals, the top three achievers were Marla MacInnis (gold), McKinley Van Klei (silver) and Natalika Culhane (bronze). Fifty-six students from last year’s Grade 11 class — this year’s graduates — received an average of 80 per cent or higher based on their top six marks. They are: Fletcher Aitken, Brittany Armitage, Sophie Beazley, Shannon Bell, Liam
Bowes, Emmie Button, Hayden Cristina, Reese Curran, Cecile Daigle, Abby Davies, Elizabeth Dowdall, Ben Duncan, Sierra Elliot, Cashmen Ford, Grace Francis, Liam Gardiner, Anna Graham, Joel Hall, Peter Irvine, Nicholas Joannou, Kristian Johnson, Nathan Labelle, Vanessa Laforet, Jacob Lalonde, Ellie Lanouette, Kyle Legault, Emma Loder, Julie MacDonald, Cole MacInnis, Tori Marcil, Heavyn Martin, Ashley McCambley, Jayden McLean, Shamus Merkley, Chloe Michaud, Joshua Monette, Rachel

They were Nicholas Joannou (gold), Ashley McCambley (silver) and Tori Wood (bronze).
“This event is a highlight for us in guidance, to be able to recognize your academic achievements,” Hoytema stated. She noted CPHS students hold themselves to high standards. Moving forward, the guidance counsellor challenged students to “keep doing what you are doing ... go from good to great.” “If you did not make it up on stage today, do not give up,” Hoytema added. “We believe in you ... expect greatness in yourself.”

A headline in a story in our Oct. 12 edition contained an error. Longtime volunteer and well-known author and columnist, Mary Cook, recently received an Outstanding Service Award on Oct. 5, recognizing her 62 years with the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper chapter.

Almonte General Hospital takes next step toward electronic health record system Oct. 24 Almonte General Hospital (AGH) is taking the next step toward an Electronic Health Record for its patients. On Oct. 24, Phase 2 of the new Cerner system will 'go-live’ to support better, safer patient care. Thank you for your patience and understanding over the next few weeks while staff learn to work in a new way. “The main hub for the patient Electronic Health Record was launched last March — and now it’s time to add some significant spokes,” explains project manager Katharine Gahan. This month, the clinical electronic documentation system will be added and there will be changes in the lab, pharmacy and health records. With the new system, nurses, doctors and other clinical staff will use mobile work stations to input all documentation electronically. Builtin prompts and reminders will en-
sure that best practices are followed and care is standardized. In the lab and pharmacy, new systems will increase patient safety with enhanced features to check for errors, drug interactions and other red flags. The new health records system will allow better tracking of charts to ensure patient privacy. One of the key benefits is realtime information. Care plans and reports will be available as soon as they are entered into the system. Midwives and family health team physicians are also connected. Over the past few months, extensive planning and staff training has been underway. But it will take time for the entire team to get used to new ways of doing things. Extra staff will be on hand to help during this steep learning curve but things may take a bit longer and staff may seem tentative. That’s all part of the learning process. The team appreciates your understanding.
Patients coming for care at AGH should go to the registration desk located in Emergency, which will be staffed around the clock. Emergency patients will be seen by a triage nurse. Day hospital patients will still register right at the program. “As we move from a paper-based to electronic system, the result will be more co-ordinated care for our patients. We will also have more data to support our patient safety and quality initiatives,” sums up Mary Wilson Trider, AGH president and CEO. AGH is implementing the new system as a member of the Georgian Bay Information Network — a partnership of six hospital corporations across three Local Health Integration Networks. Funding support has been provided by the Ministry of Health’s Small Rural Northern Transformation Fund. Submitted by Almonte General Hospital

EARLE
Nadine Lafrance, the current president of People First of Lanark County, joked about calling Earle the Energizer Bunny because “he is always on the go, on a phone call, walking very fast to the next meeting or organizing an event like the community Christmas dinner for our community.” “Kory is a really good person, and because of him people have a voice ... under his leadership I learn things each day,” she continued. “He is really passionate about issues that affect people with disabilities and people who have been wronged in some way.” “I think he is an inspiration to everybody that he meets,” Lafrance added. “He stands up for people, he defends people ... I could go on and on.” The current president of People First of Ontario, Richard Ruston, referred to Earle as “very instrumental, very kind and very compassionate of his work ... he leaves a mark wherever he goes.” “Leadership is very important to our movement, and we need to keep People First chapters open no matter what,” Ruston said. “We need to remember Kory for all that he has done and will continue to do.” Alice Anne Paterson-Collinge is Earle’s friend, and she is employed at Community Living Association

In our Oct. 12 edition, we ran a story entitled “Lanark County police boards to consider supporting dementia tracking system.” In that article, we stated that the OPP had “declined to comment” on whether the project would be added to their budget. In fact, the OPP present were not questioned, and this was an unintentional mistake in writing. Should the project come to fruition, the OPP will not be supporting the program financially, but will be supporting it operationally. Lanark County. She called Earle an eloquent and effective spokesperson for all people, with governments at all levels often soliciting his opinion on initiatives and legislation. “He has single-handedly changed how people think about people with developmental disabilities,” PatersonCollinge added. “Kory is an active listener, an advocate, a mentor and a good person.” In 2015, Earle received the Joan McKay Memorial Bursary Award from Community Living Association Lanark County.

Carleton Place chamber celebrates Small Business Week with awards gala Small Business week is an annual celebration of entrepreneurship in Canada that was first organized in 1979 by the Business Development Bank of Canada. With events happening across the county, the week is an opportunity to bring small business owners together to network and celebrate achievements. And small business is a big deal in small and mediumsized towns and rural communities across the country and across the province. Small businesses contribute greatly to their local economies through job creation and taxes and are often very involved in many as-
pects of the community. “Small businesses are the backbone of the Ontario economy and the heart of our community,” said Jackie Kavanagh, general manager of the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce. "And that is exactly why the chamber feels it is so important to recognize business through the Business Awards of Excellence gala. Now in its fifth year, the business awards were first developed in 2013 as a way to celebrate and recognize businesses that are making a difference in the community.” This year, the Business Awards of Excellence will be
held at the Grand Hotel in Carleton Place. “We are very excited to be the first significant community event to be held at the hotel since it reopened,” noted chamber past chair Donna MacDonald. “The hotel, like the chamber has a long history in the community and we think it makes a perfect venue for our fifth anniversary celebrations.” In all, there are 25 local businesses that will be recognized at the awards in six different categories. And the nominees are:

It is wonderful to know Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC that we have so many local businesses that people feel should Excellence in Customer Service be celebrated and each year just The Floral Boutique gets more and more exciting,” Regional Plumbing & Water said Jamie Law, acting chair of Treatment the board. Seamless Auto Care The gala will be hosted by
Law, along with MacDonald. Sponsors of the event include Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd., Rental Village and Main Event Entertainment. The night will also feature table centrepieces designed and provided by a number of local businesses. The centrepiece contest now in its second year was immensely popular last year when it was first introduced. Attendees of the awards ceremony get to vote for their favourite and the winner is announced at the end of dinner. Last year bragging rights went to the Canadian Cooperative Woolgrowers (also named Business of the Year) for their stunning centrepiece featuring what else — a sheep. In addition to the awards ceremony, over the
course of Small Business Week, the chamber will be engaging with small businesses to show them that we recognize the significant role they play in our community and to discuss how we can support them to ensure they are not ignored. This will include the fall membership survey, as well as phone and email consultations with members. The chamber has also just kicked off a fall membership drive and they are looking for new members. To find out more about the chamber and why it’s such a great tool for your local business, you can call the chamber office at 613-2571976 or send them an email at info@cpchamber.com.

One, two, three, boo … the creepy countdown to the annual Beckwith Community Halloween Party is on. With the perfect recipe for a 'spooktacular' evening — costumes, candy, games and pumpkins — the township invites everyone to the coverall building at Beckwith Park on Friday, Oct. 27 between 6 and 8 p.m. According to reeve Richard Kidd, admission to the party, which operates rain or shine, is free; however, donations are greatly appreciated. Contributions help pay for candy, decorations and more. “It is great fun for the entire family — a dry run leading up to Halloween,” he said.

table, pumpkin bowling, match game, fishing for prizes, beanbag toss, mini putt, and trick or treat. Moreover, there will be a refreshments table, and all children in attendance receive a treat bag. Clerk administrator Cassandra McGregor noted the night’s guided haunted house tour is always a big hit. Scary and non-scary versions

John Albert Fowler succumbed to the ravages of dementia, quietly at home on Thursday, October 12, 2017. John lived a good life with strong family ties, honest friendships, and an unbendable work ethic. He will be sorely missed by Nancy, Shawn, & Tracy, and her family Kevin, Tristan, Brody, Leighton & Riley, along with Susan and Ken, Jordana & Justin. The large extended family of Singbush’s, Maxwell’s and the Mulligan clan will have great stories of wonderful times. Friends gathered over a lifetime in Mississauga, Waterloo, Sudbury, Georgetown, Port Bruce, Toronto, Vydon Acres, Ottawa and Arnprior can attest to John’s strength of character. John was involved in many innovative banking changes over his thirty-seven years in the financial industry with CIBC. Colleagues span North America and Europe. This disease was a crushing blow, but the support of family, friends and generous neighbours along with the professional care providers helped John and his family immensely. The Dementia Society of Ottawa & Renfrew County, particularly Milton & Caitlin were gentle pillars of knowledge and strength. Dr. Andrew Frank with his staff; Dr. Michael Fishman, caring to the end; the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital staff; the LIHN (CCAC); St. Elizabeth Home Health Care and Bayshore Healthcare were invaluable during this very difficult journey. Our genuine thanks to everyone. John will be interred in the historic Beaverton Stone Church Cemetery in a private service.

FITCHELL Marilyn Isabell
It is with our greatest regret that we, the family, must tell you that Mom passed away at 11:30pm on October 5th, just 25 days shy of her 79th birthday. Mom was a lifelong educator, teaching for over 36 years at Lombardy and Eric Hutchison schools. She was ardently committed to ensuring her students achieved their potential and whole heartedly supported their academic and personal goals. Marilyn would like to let you know that her work here is done. She got called to the office by the head Principal. This new teaching assignment comes with huge perks, a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new posting will seem like a permanent recess at a wonderful place where she will be socializing, having the occasional cold glass of wine, knitting, and reading to her heart’s content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and you never gain an ounce. She left a clear syllabus for all her loved ones to follow the lessons that she left behind for all of us. Eat the cake. Drink the wine. Spend time with family and friends. And travel every chance you get, preferably in a little green cricket. Mom will be attending a staff meeting with some of her favorites, her father Bert, mom Naureen and step-mom Ena. Her son Peter, (who we all knew was the &%& favorite), her loved daughter Lisa, her first husband Pete and her beloved soul-mate Barney. She is survived by her two beloved daughters Deborah (Michael) and Yvonne (Kenneth). She is also survived by many grandchildren and great grandchildren: Alex (Una), Nick, Darryl (Jessie), Taylor, Caitlyn, Andi, Joscelyne, Krissy, Shalagh, Conner and Wylie. Please share this with anyone you may know that has had their lives touched by Mom as a teacher, mentor or friend. There will be a celebration of her wonderful life held in Smiths Falls in the Spring of 2018. Details will be posted on her Facebook account as well as in the Record News.

OBITUARY
OBITUARY
MARGETTS Ted
Also known as Victor Edward James or “Teddy,” it truly did depend on how well you knew him. Ted was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital and later joked that he just walked across the street and went to work at the Experimental Farm where he spent 28 years. He always said that if you get a job you love you never work a day in your life. His love of trees, nature, and his curiosity were a perfect combination for his years at the farm. Before his career in Civil Service he was a member of the Royal Canadian Navy. His favorite memory from this time was flying back from Halifax with the Prime Minister. Ted was previously deceased by his parents Victor and Eunice Margetts, and his high school sweetheart and wife of 53 years, Lillian (Blair). He is survived by his brother Stephen (Marlene) and many lifelong friends. He would frequently reminisce about his times getting into mischief on the streets of Kemptville with these same friends. Some of these stories have become local legends. Ted enjoyed spending time camping, fishing, and keeping his bees. He loved spending time with his girls Vicky-Lynn (Trent) and Kelly-Anne (Chad). He instilled into his girls to always be kinder, more generous, and more gracious than you need to be; you never know what somebody else is going through. The amazing memories of camping trips, weekends on the island, Christmas mornings, and laughs around the kitchen table provided a template for the girls to aspire to with their own families. He was Grandad to Tereck, McKenna, and Kade. They worshipped him just as he worshipped them. He taught them all golf, archery, how to swim, and how to build bird houses. Often, these lessons would mean the destruction of their Grandma’s amazing flower gardens, clean clothes on the line or, once, the solar panels. He and his grandkids always had great adventures. He will be missed on his annual hunting trips to Algonquin Park with Pryce Apedaile. Ted will be terribly missed by his sister-in-law Joan (Keith), his nieces and nephews, and his companion Mrs. L. Render. Our daily conversations will be missed. We will now have to rely on Google when we need to research something because our guru on everything no longer takes phone calls. Your witty jokes and exceptional bear hugs will be greatly missed. We love you Dad, Grandad. You will be forever missed. (By request of our Dad there will be no service.)
JOYNT, Pam October 22, 2002 You were a blessing, Your memory a treasure, You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. HUGS! Love Tara xo And Mom xo

MCPARLAND August 10, 1954 – October 20, 2016 Keith it’s only been 1 year, but I remember the day I met you, and the day that God made you mine. I also remember the day God took you and will ‘till the end of time. We made vows together until death do us part, but the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Memories of happy years when we were together; the joy’s; the tears; the love and the fears will always stay with me. When I’m sad; lonely and everything seems to go wrong, I hear you whisper “Cheer up Ann and carry on”! Missing and remembering you everyday Love your wife, Ann

Chan’s powerful performance packs a punch in 'The Foreigner' MOVIE: The Foreigner STARRING: Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Charlie Murphy and Orla Brady DIRECTOR: Martin Campbell RATING: 14A Jackie Chan has delivered so many great films. His unique brand of highenergy martial arts and comedic talent have made him a legend. He's made so many action-comedies, I've taken it for granted that that's all he does. The Foreigner is an eye-opener. On a normal day in London, Quan Ngoc Minh (Jackie Chan) takes his daughter, Fan (Katie Leung), to buy a dress. She runs to the store while he parks the car. An explosion sends Quan through the air. Fan is killed instantly. Heartbroken, Quan is desperate to know the names of those responsible. He lost his wife and two other daughters many years ago. Fan was all he had left, and Quan cannot let her go until he knows justice has been done. When the police can't give him the names, Quan takes matters into his own hands. The IRA claimed responsibility for the bombing. This leads Quan to question Irish minister and former IRA member Liam Hennessy (Pierce Brosnan). Hennessy says he's just a politician, and doesn't know anything. Quan doesn't believe him, but Hennessy brushes him off as just a harmless grieving old man. Quan was once special forces and considered one of the most deadly people on the planet. He begins going after Hennessy to force him to give up the names. Meanwhile the bombers continue to plan their campaign of terror. Hennessy is in the middle trying to play both sides to get what he wants, but events slip out of his control. Quan will not be placated until he has the names.

My Take
MARK HASKINS
I was talking to a friend who said Netflix has ruined movies for him. How can a movie compete with a series like Breaking Bad in terms of depth of story and character? While there's some truth there, I believe there's real art in connecting with an audience and drawing them in inside the medium of film. The Foreigner is a perfect example. We don't see Fan for very long. It's a brief scene between Leung and Chan, and yet it sets up the whole film. With those few lines and that short interaction, we understand his love for her and his pain. The film moves slowly and methodically in the same way that Quan pressures Hennessy for the names. As Hennessy becomes more frustrated by his men's inability to deal with Quan, more truths are revealed. It creates a constant tension that runs through the film until the whole truth is revealed. Intelligent, driven and ruthless, Hennessy believes himself to be a man in control. When he realizes just how little control he has, it's devastating. Brosnan is so good in every aspect of the character. We're all used to Jackie Chan throwing punches and making jokes, but to see him in this role is mind blowing. His performance is emotional and powerful. It's the performance of a career. The Foreigner is a brilliant film. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

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.

Francis and Knoblauch each score a pair in Canadians win over Navan The Carleton Place Canadians travelled for a road game against the Navan Grads on Sunday, Oct. 15 and the bus ride home was a little better thanks to the 5-3 win Carleton Place picked up. After allowing the game’s first goal to Coleton Cianci just 2:38 into the first period, Peyton Francis got the Canadians on the board with 7:07 left in the opening period. Francis skated onto the loose puck in the high slot and snapped his first goal of the game past Seth Carter. Just 0:32 later, Francis scored again, jamming the loose puck into the net to give the Canadians the lead heading into the second period. It was another scoreless period for Carleton Place on Sunday but, unlike its last game where it allowed Kanata back into the game, Carleton Place dominated the middle period. The Canadians kept Carter busy, forcing the Grads goaltender to make 24 saves in the period. Meanwhile, Jeremie Forget was relegated to being a spectator for most of the period as he only had to stop three shots in the second. The scoring resumed in the third period with Sam Knoblauch scoring a pair of goals in the first four minutes of the frame. Geoff Kitt hit Knoblauch with a splendid seam pass
through the slot, leaving Knoblauch with an empty net for his eighth goal of the season. He scored his second goal on the power play, getting into Carter’s eyes and tipped in the Tim Theocharidis point shot for a 4-1 lead. Curtis Fabbro cut the lead to 4-2 with under 10:00 remaining in the third period, but Zach Tupker responded with a short-handed goal with 4:10 to play. Forget stopped an in-tight chance and Ben Tupker took the puck up the ice on the shorthanded rush. Zach joined his brother on the rush and tapped in the crosscrease pass from Ben. By making the save, Forget got credit for his first assist in the league. Mike McPherson made it a 5-3 game with 1:48 left in the third period but Forget shut the door the rest of the way as ended the game stopping 16 of 19 saves in the game. The two teams were back at it on Tuesday at the Carleton Place Arena for the second half of the home-andhome. Kanata 2, Carleton Place 5 A three-goal third period for the Carleton Place Canadians on Friday, Oct. 13 propelled them to a 5-2 victory over the Kanata Lasers. Carleton Place entered the third pe-
riod with a 2-1 lead but Ryan Bunka quickly erased it with a power play goal 0:31 into the third period. Travis Broughman said the Bunka goal changed the emotion on the Canadians bench for the rest of that third period, helping to spark the response. “We were ready to just start going and start playing hard. We knew we needed a win, (Kanata) came a big W (Thursday) night so we knew they were going to come out flying still.” According to Canadians coach Jason Clarke, he said Broughman and his line-mates Peyton Francis and Sam Allison got Carleton Place bounced back into the right direction. “I thought they played really well (Friday). I thought Allison played a fantastic game and was on a lot of intight areas. I really liked how Broughman played, he used his speed through the neutral zone really well and took stuff to the net. That was probably our best line,” he added. Broughman started the stretch of three unanswered goals for Carleton Place, using the wrap-around to beat Kanata goalie Myles Hektor for what stood to be the game-winning goal. It wasn’t the first time in the game he tried the wrap-around, as Broughman – and other Canadians – was unsuccessful with the move earlier
in the game. “The goalie really wasn’t moving halfway through the wrap-around, so might as well take it to the net as much as possible,” Broughman explained. The scoring got started early on Friday as Connor Hill snapped a shot past Hektor 0:26 into the game. Bennett Stockdale answered back less than a minute later to tie the game early in the first period. “We were pretty pumped about that goal about 30 seconds into the game and then it was kind of like a mental lapse for their goal,” Canadians captain Geoff Kitt said. “It happens, we haven’t had one in a while. We thought we’d stay positive and stick to it and I thought we had a good rest of the first period.” The first period was indicative of the work Hektor had to put in down in the Kanata net. The Lasers were outshot 20-7 in the opening frame and ended up allowing 50 shots against Hektor while getting 15 shots on Jeremie Forget. Justin Cmunt scored late in the first period to ensure the heavy advantage in shots turned into a lead on the scoreboard. Neither team could score in the second period, a period that Clarke has identified as an issue for his team in

more than just Friday’s game. “We just have a habit of letting off the gas in the second period and kind of let Kanata get back into the game,” he expressed. “Got to give credit to Kanata, I thought they came out hard in the second period after spending most of the first period in their own end and we just didn’t respond. “Then, in the third period, we got right back to work again. It’s just one of those games where we weren’t consistent but we found a way to win.” Friday’s game was the first for Carleton Place following an emotionally charged week-end filled with rivalry games. This weekend doesn’t carry the same emotions, but players said it was important to avoid a letdown in the game against Kanata. “Three big wins last week against big rivals in Smiths Falls, Pembroke and Ottawa,” Kitt said. “We’ve got Kanata and Navan this week and not the biggest of rivals but we know we’re going to get everyone’s A-game. We didn’t want to let one slip away after a 3-0 week last week, we just wanted to keep the train rolling and hopefully we can keep it going for the rest of the year here and keep having positive things to look at after the games.” Submitted by Daniel Vazzoler, Carleton Place Canadians
Carleton Place offering Municipal Academy program BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Local government plays a significant role in the everyday lives of Canadians. Next month, Carleton Place is once again offering its Municipal Academy program, a training course over three evenings on the workings of municipal government, emphasizing on the process and procedures of local governance. The program is free and open to all residents. Since 2005, “this will be the fifth time chief administrative officer Paul Knowles and I have offered the program,” clerk Duncan Rogers told the Canadian Gazette. He noted the program’s first night is on Thursday, Nov. 9, held in the council chambers at the town hall. It begins at 7 p.m. Topics covered will
include the role of government, parliamentary procedures and the use of committees. The second evening of the training course is on Thursday, Nov. 16, once again starting at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at the town hall. “Instructors deal with the subject of our municipal organization and related responsibilities, as well as various community organizations,” Rogers explained. The final evening — on Tuesday, Nov. 28 — academy participants are invited to attend the town’s council and policy review meetings, which begin at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at the town hall. According to Rogers, the purpose is to observe the proceedings of both council and committee. Too, participants receive program completion certificates.
The idea for the Municipal Academy program came from Carleton Place’s sister city in Tennessee — Franklin. The two communities were twinned in January 2005. Carleton Place is also linked with Comrie, Scotland, with the official ceremony happening in August 1992. “Duncan offers a fantastic course,” Mayor Louis Antonakos commented during the council meeting on Oct. 10. “I hear so many wonderful things about it.” The program is a wonderful tool for any residents thinking of running in the 2018 municipal election. For more information about the Municipal Academy program or to complete an application form, contact Rogers at drogers@carletonplace.ca or 613-257-6211, or clerk’s assistant Bobbi McCann at bmccann@carletonplace.ca or 613-257-6215.
