Business – The Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce announced its 2013 Business Person of the Year at its inaugural Business Awards of Excellence Gala, held at the town hall auditorium on Saturday, Oct. 19. Volunder (Wally) Thorbjornsson of CP Rentals & Property Management was selected for being a business leader with strength in customer service and sales and marketing, as well as a strong track record of community involvement and support. “I’m deeply honoured by the recognition,” he said, “and thankful for the community’s acceptance.” Thorbjornsson congratulated all winners and nominees. “My best thanks to the Chamber for putting on such an elegant evening,” he said. “I am looking forward to continuing to work with local businesses and pursuing some of the great opportunities in our growing community,” he continued. Thorbjornsson arrived in Canada from Iceland a dozen years ago. He spent the first couple of years in Ottawa, before moving up to Mississippi Lake in Carleton Place with his wife and four children. In keeping with tradition, the Chamber recruited its 2012 Business Person of the Year to help make the announcement and trophy presentation. “Lori Cavanagh of Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited will step in for her father (Thomas Cavanagh),” said Coun. Jerry Flynn, emceeing the event alongside Chamber president Donna MacDonald. Thorbjornsson manages more than 50 properties in and around the Carleton Place area.
News – A Carleton Place woman who fell to her death in Mexico is being mourned by family, friends, co-workers and the community. Shannon Amy Guy died on Oct. 17 after a glass panel on a third-floor balcony railing collapsed at the Oasis Tulum resort in Riviera Maya as her husband was taking pictures during their honeymoon. Paul Guy was snapping photos of Shannon and two other Canadians the couple had met when the tragic incident occurred. The trio fell to the ground. Shannon was killed and the couple was injured. Although Paul did not fall, he, too, was transported to hospital. “(I felt) shock, disbelief, of course,” said Shannon’s father Ted Murray, who is an employee of EMC/Metroland Media. He drove with other family members to Ottawa to tell his other daughter the tragic news before she heard about it in the media. He later picked up his son from Peterborough and “we’re all together now. They’re taking it so

Volunder (Wally) Thorbjornsson of CP Rentals & Property Management was named the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce 2013 Business Person of the Year at a special gala celebration on Saturday night, Oct. 19. He receives his award from Lori Cavanagh of Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited, the daughter of 2012 winner Thomas Cavanagh. “He is recognized for his willingness to take on difficult projects and see them through to successful completion,” said MacDonald. In 2004, Thorbjornsson acquired the land at 130 Industrial Ave. – now Scandia Business Park. Seven units were constructed in 2010, followed by 32 units in 2011. The commercial and industrial units are 100 per cent rented. “As well as developing commercial property, he has attracted several new businesses and relocated other local businesses to Scandia Business Park,” said MacDonald. Currently, Thorbjornsson is working on building his second business park on Bates Drive. “He is intent on attracting new business that could provide up to 300 new jobs for Carleton Place residents,” said the Cham-
ber’s president. Over the years, Thorbjornsson has invested millions of dollars in the town’s economy, with many millions more to come. “Customer service, sales and marketing skills have resulted in a very happy and supportive work environment, with buildings that are built to accommodate almost any business requirement,” said MacDonald. A huge believer in community, Thorbjornsson continues to offer physical and financial support. “He has provided office space for the Real Solutions Recovery Program and is working with another vital local organization that is in need of office space,” said

The newlyweds left for Mexico on Oct. 15, according to Paul’s Facebook page. Feeling excited, he wrote: “Finally time to load up and head to Toronto to Pearson Airport. In a few hours we will be boarding our flight to our Mexican honeymoon.” Shannon wrote the following on her Facebook page on Oct. 14: “At this time tomorrow, my amazing, wonderful and incredibly handsome husband and I will be on our way to Mexico!” Shannon, 24, was on maternity leave from her job at Sinders Bridal House in Carleton Place.

CDSBEO schools receive improved hardware and network capabilities by Dec. 20. Internet speed increases will be significant as a result of the WAN upgrade; some schools will see increases from 1.4 MB per second to 1000 MB per second. With the new speed, teachers will be able to incorporate web based teaching resources and streaming audio and video for classroom instruction. Ontario Early Years Policy Framework On Jan. 23, the Ontario government released the Early Years Policy Framework. This policy sets out the vision and plan for the early years in all school boards, and outlines how the establishment of a system of family supports for parents, and caregivers of children age zero to six, will be accomplished. Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Tom Jordan, outlined for the board, the four key areas of action for the framework, and the guiding principles to support the vision of the document. The framework was created for district school boards, as well as community partners and service providers who are involved with children in the early years. One of the four key areas for action includes the implementation of fullday kindergarten (FDK). Currently, 75 per cent of kindergarten students in Ontario attend an FDK program, and full implementation will be in place by September 2014. Statistics from a study by Queens University, and McMaster University, in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, demonstrate that student who attend full-day kindergarten have less risk with cognitive development, social competence, and communication skills and general knowledge. The risk reduction in social competence and communication skills occurrences is roughly half (from 10.5 to 5.2 per cent and 10.5 to 5.6 per cent respectively), while the risk for language and cognitive development drops from 16.4 to 4.3 per cent after two years in an FDK program, versus a half-day program. Other areas of action for the framework include the creation of an ef-
fective approach to implementing Best Start Child and Family Centres. Parents and caregivers have reported that current services are difficult to navigate, and feel that more efficient services, with more geographical consistency and lower wait times would greatly improve supports. Improvements to speech and language services have been proposed, with a planned reduction from five programs, run by three different ministries provincially, to a more streamlined service, with less fragmentation and duplication, as well as better transition between community and school-based services. A comprehensive, streamlined website is also currently being developed. The fourth and final goal of the framework includes a more stabilized child care system, with better access to higher quality care for all families. The
initiative will improve infrastructure and space to deliver care to children, and a new funding formula will also reduce childcare costs for parents. Documents with more information on the Early Years Policy are available online from the Ministry of Education at www.edu.gov.on.ca/childcare/earlyyearsvision.html. St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School to receive provincial recognition for student success St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall, has achieved outstanding results on the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT).

Haunting apparitions to appear at Carleton Place Town Hall By DORIS OHLMANN
Arts – With All Hallow’s Eve almost upon us, it seems fitting to warn you of a ghostly apparition that has been haunting the Carleton Place Town Hall of late and will continue ‘til at least the first weekend of December. Word has it that the venerable Charles Dickens (may he rest in peace) has been haunting Mudds member Laurel Tye for well over a year. In an effort to assuage his haunting, she has gathered together a talented group to help her stage none other than Dickens’ famous story, A Christmas Carol, or in this case, Humbug! Laurel Tye is artistic director for this production, it being her first time in this role. She will be joined by a chorus of carollers under the direction of musical director Kristine MacLaren and accompanied by Peter Brown on piano with his band. Musical selections for Humbug include “I Want It All,� “Money Can’t Buy You Love,� “Chain Gang,�
“Fly Like an Eagle,� “We Are Family,� “Time Warp� “No One Mourns the Wicked,� “The Gift to be Simple� and of course some Christmas carols to help usher in the Christmas season, such as “Joy to the World� and “Sing We Now of Christmas.� I must caution you that this version of A Christmas Carol is most unique, as not only has Mr. Scrooge transported himself from the realm of the 1800s and brought us into the 20th century, the ’60s and ’70s to be exact, but the cast of the original characters has been slightly augmented with amusing, shall we say, psychedelic actors. Since no panto is complete without a dame, this show has not one dame, but two — Mrs. Slapan (played by Bryan McManus) and Mrs. Tickle (played by Laurie Dickson), the bumbling ladies from H.E.L.L. (Home for the Elderly Ladies League). The topsy-turvy world of pantos includes the lead roles of Scrooge and Dickens being played by female actors in this version. Meredith Millman has taken on the role of Scrooge while Trish Smith narrates the story

ten expression. School principal, John Cameron, along with teachers Stephanie McDougall and Elizabeth McCormick, presented to the board, an overview of the various factors which have contributed to the schools successful performance. Cameron attributes the culture of the school, and the belief that all students can learn, and succeed, to the motivation behind the success, which has earned the school provincial recognition. Staff at the school believe that literacy is the responsibility of everyone. Statistically, St. Joseph’s demographic includes a school population where 31 per cent of students have an individual education plan (IEP), and 11 per cent indicate a first language (spoken at home) other than English.

News – The following are highlights from the regular Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) meeting held Oct. 15 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO Information and Communications Technology Department has been working to upgrade all computer hardware systems available to board students, as well as the Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure, which provides network and Internet access to schools. Peter Spears, from the Department of Information and Communications Technology, presented to the board an overview of the recent changes to the provisions for CDSBEO schools with regards to computer hardware systems and network access. The initiative involves the upgrade and replacement of both hardware computer systems (new laptops to replace old desktop technology), as well as expanded wide area network services to board schools and offices. The computer hardware refresh cycle, which was completed in June 2013, provides new laptop computers to all CDSBEO elementary and secondary schools. The initiative was rolled-out in three phases over a twoyear period. The newly deployed laptops assist with differentiated instruct, and assistive technology for students with learning accommodations, and helps to reduce the stigma of students requiring extra supports, since laptops are now more readily available to all students. The new laptops have helped in various additional ways, including improved overall computer performance. The new units can be more effectively maintained, and software upgrades more easily deployed. WAN infrastructure upgrades are also currently underway, in conjunction with Bell Aliant. The project began in June 2013, and currently 15 sites have the upgraded network infrastructure in place, with an additional ten sites scheduled for completion by the end of October. Network upgrades will be complete at all schools and offices by June 2014, and the first 25 sites with the infrastructure will be live

Appleton family celebrates 30 years providing haunted house to local children Community – There’s a big old farmhouse at the of Apple Street in Appleton that will be transformed yet again in hopes of attracting children who want a genuine scare come Halloween night. Jonathan Robinson and several local young people have been providing the fun and terror of a haunted house and this year will be celebrating their 30th year of having a haunted house in Appleton. “It started 30 years ago when Adam Smith came over and offered to help me scare kids in our old log house,” explained Robinson. “He was only 10 at the time and from there it grew every year and included more and more volunteers.” Smith is now an adult but the tradition he started continues. Located at 139 Apple
Street, this Appleton haunted house often boasts as many as 10 volunteers. “We set up just the day before so nobody has any idea what this year’s house will look like,” said Robinson. “Often local children who watch us set up and then too scared to come into the house.” Robinson empties the house of furniture and haunted house has several rooms with different activities in each room. “There’s nothing like chasing a 12-year-old with a chainsaw to give them a scare,” said Jeff Hudder, a longtime volunteer. “Of course the chain is out... but they don’t know that in the dark....the smells and sounds are what really gets the imagination going.” Hudder is part of the new generation of volunteers that show up every Halloween to put on
a great show. “The neat bringing them back,” said in the past few years. part is that the original Robinson. “We used to get 150 volunteers are now havRobinson is hoping to people on Halloween, but ing kids of their own and get more participants than lately with fewer children

Diefenbunker offers hilarious, horrific adventure for the living this Halloween derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – A band of hipsters in skinny jeans and bookish glasses gathers at the Diefenbunker guardhouse gate, antsy to take part in something called Incident at the Bunker: A Zombie Adventure. Few could have guessed that by tour’s end they would be armed to the hilt with Nerf guns firing wildly in all directions at the marauding undead that were bent on a brainsgorging feast. And yet that’s what happened. Dun-dun-dun da! The good folks at Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum, in collaboration with The Haunted Walk of Ottawa, put together the Halloween-themed tour that seamlessly weaves entertainment and education. Participants learn the standard stuff – former bunker built to withstand five-mega ton nuclear bomb, could hold 535 select people, 4,000 pound door, etc. – but that’s just filler for the frightful fun found along the way. Here’s the set up – according to a press release promoing the event in Carp. “On a dark and stormy night in October of 1992, a group of scientists gathered in the depths of the Diefenbunker in
the hopes of making the latest scientific breakthrough. The terrifying event that happened next has never been disclosed to the public – until now – 20 years later. Using the latest in time-travel technology, we will journey back and discover the bunker’s most shocking secret.” Dun-da! A tour guide donning a black frock and, oddly, a lantern straight out of a Dickens story, leads the group of 20somethings to the Butler Hut for briefing. “I’d really like to apologize to any of you who were here
last year, or lost loved ones here last year,” he says. “But we’ve really improved things for this year.” The excellently written script is hilarious throughout. For instance, before walking down the 378-foot blast tunnel the guide introduces a stern plainclothes guard in dark glasses. “He’s two days from retirement,” he said, sounding the opposite of ominous. Many giggled and predicted the guard may share the fate of a red shirt on Star Trek. See SCARE page 7

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Education vital to a strong middle class DEAR EDITOR: The very idea of progress is under real threat in Canada for the first time in generations. The Canadian promise, that if you get educated and work hard, you can guarantee a better life for yourself and for your kids, is being seriously questioned. Middle-class incomes have stalled for a generation, leaving many Canadians feeling anxious about whether we can afford the education our kids will need and whether we can afford to upgrade our own skills and knowledge to keep pace in an economy where seven of 10 jobs will require a diploma, degree or skilled trade. While the provinces have constitutional responsibility for education, there is a long history of federal efforts to supplement and support provincial policies. The federal government should support the efforts of individual Canadians to go to university, college or trade school, as well as to continue their education throughout their lives. A high-quality education serves as a roadmap to a rewarding career and fosters the kind of innovation and productivity required for Canadian businesses to succeed. Yet the education policies of the Conservative government have been
failures. They have ignored a serious problem with low graduation rates for apprentices, which deprive the economy of highly skilled people. They have done almost nothing to help offset the growing costs of education, letting student debt skyrocket under their watch. Even their new Job Grant program is a shell game which actually takes money away from training programs, and does nothing to support the type of training used so successfully by small businesses. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau believes we need to take education more seriously as a driver of economic success and security right across the country. He has argued that Canada needs a new national focus on education, which would build Canada’s competitive advantage around a highly skilled, creative and innovative workforce, because Canadians’ ingenuity and work ethic represent the best investment we can make in an era when change is the only constant. Let’s join Justin and work to make Canada the best educated country on earth. Rodger Cuzner, MP Liberal Party of Canada Social Development Critic
COMMENTARY
Be Fat Talk free Editorial – Fat Talk Free Week is on now, Oct. 20 to 26 – the focus being on positive self-esteem and body image. The challenge is for everyone to spend the week with, “no fat talk”. Statements like “Does my butt look big in these jeans?”, “I’m so fat.” “I need to lose 10 pounds”, “She’s too fat to be wearing that swimsuit,” and “You look great! Have you lost weight?” are examples of fat talk from the health unit. These statements aren’t necessarily all negative, but the meaning behind them – the connotations are there – the need, desire for a thin physique. What might seem like an innocent few words thrown together is actually not. Simple statements like this can change the outlook a girl has when she looks in the mirror. Can change her perspective when sitting down for a meal, a snack. Growing up with unrealistic body images seen in major media, on television, commercials, magazines, reinforced through fat talk statements, can often be a horrible recipe for impressionable young girls and women. Instead of focusing on negative untrue statements, why not focus on positive attributes and accomplishments. The week is being promoted locally by Girls Incorporated of Upper Canada and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. Girls Inc. provides programs and services geared towards girls between the ages of six and 18. They The health unit’s idea of Health at Every Size “promotes that healthy bodies come in different shapes and sizes and the best way to improve health is to honour our bodies.” Girls Inc. is also aiding in promoting positive self-confidence through free one hour workshops being offered to Grades 7 to 10 this week in various schools throughout the area called, “Redefining Beauty: Developing a healthy body image in a body toxic world,” according to the health unit. Perhaps the best lesson is to think before you speak. To rethink some common phrases that have more of an impact than we can know.
Bake table had several purposes in Depression-era kitchen Lifestyle – Even at a young age, I was aware of the similarity in all the farm kitchens in Northcote. There was always a creton couch, although the shapes varied. Some had one end curved upwards, so a pillow wasn’t needed to rest your head. Our couch lay flat and there wasn’t really a mattress on it. Rather, several layers of quilts protected you from the coil springs, and this couch was where the farmer put his weary head after his noon dinner for a few minutes rest before he headed back out to the fields or the barns. And every kitchen of course, had a cook stove. Some people just called it, simply, the range. But Mother called our big lumbering iron stove, the Oval. The other constant in a farm kitchen was the bake table. This differed greatly from the big pine table that stretched out to set at least 12 people when necessary. The bake table was much smaller. Longer than it was wide, it had a
small drawer at one end. Ours had a white porcelain top and it stood several inches taller than the big table we ate our meals at every day. Why it was called the bake table, I have no idea because Mother never once baked on it. Perhaps it was because this is where pies were set to cool off, and freshly made loaves of bread waited to be wrapped in split-open brown paper bags saved from orders from Briscoe’s General Store. The little drawer, much longer than it was wide, held our supply of flour bag tea towels, neatly folded, and ironed of course. The bake table sat close to the back door, but unless there were pies and freshly baked bread spread out on it, Mother liked to keep it bare. And heaven forbid that you should put a wet mitt, a school bag, or anything else that would leave a spot on the shiny white porcelain. Mother kept the bake table spotlessly clean, and when company was expected, Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

it was wiped with a wet dish cloth whether it needed it or not, and then a little white square table cloth was put on it, kitty-cornered, and if one had survived the season, a bright red geranium plunked down in the middle! The bake table had another use too. When company overflowed, and the old pine table couldn’t hold another soul, and extra seating was needed, the bake table was put to use. It was moved out from the wall and this is where the youngest of us ate our meals, well away from the kitchen table and the company.

people...one at each end, and one on each side. I didn’t much care for eating at the bake table. It removed me from the joyous activity surrounding the big table, but as well, because the bake table was so much higher, we had to take pillows off the beds to sit on, or else our chins would be in our dinner plates! Being the youngest in our family, I was always doomed to eat at the bake table with other young cousins. My cousin Ronny loved to eat at the bake table. Then he didn’t have to watch his table manners, and it wasn’t unusual for him to take off his plate anything he didn’t like and put it in his pants’ pocket, and dispose of it after the meal. The kitchen was the biggest room in our old log house, and there were no built in cupboards. Dishes were kept in the Back-to-the-Wall cupboard, and pots and pans either sat on top of the warming closet of the Findlay Oval, or stored in it.

The bake table was the perfect place, when we hosted the Saturday night house party, for the 11-quart baskets of sandwiches, and the slab cakes brought in by the neighbours for the late-night lunch. When you walked by you could smell the egg salad sandwiches, and the maple icing on the slab cakes. Mother loved the bake table. I think now it was because it had a porcelain top and wasn’t made of pine like most of the furniture in that old log house. Mother liked any piece of furniture that wasn’t made of pine...she once said pine rhymed with poverty. I was too young to know the meaning behind the comment. Sometimes Mother sat at the bake table. She would put her sewing basket on it, and do some mending. Or she would spread out the Philadelphia Enquirer. It was considered her table.

Canadian theatre history exhibit extends run at Perth Museum Arts – “Now and Then: Found Treasures of Canadian Theatre History,” an exhibit that has been running all summer at the Perth Museum (Matheson House), is extending its successful run another month until Nov. 4. The exhibit – a colourful journey through some significant periods in the post-World War II development of Canadian culture, as well as some remarkable
pieces of Perth’s own theatrical history that go back almost a century – has been a big hit with tourists who toured the installation before and after shows at the Classic Theatre Festival this past summer. “We’ve had a lot of ‘wow’ moments from visitors who have really enjoyed this trip down Canada’s theatrical memory lane,” says museum curator
Karen Rennie. “Where else in this neck of the woods can you see 1950s resume pictures of Christopher Plummer and William Shatner before they found international fame?” The exhibit was largely inspired by the lives of Canadian actors Bernard Behrens and Deborah Cass, both of whom worked in the early years of Stratford and CBC, touring
North America with Canadian Players, playing summer stock, and performing at the Toronto Crest Theatre, Halifax’s Neptune Theatre, and the Shaw Festival. They were part of a generation whose faces many Canadians grew up watching both on stage and on TV shows such as The Forest Rangers and The Beachcombers, and many of those performers are featured in photographs and paintings at the Perth Museum exhibit. The Now and Then part of the exhibit focuses on original Canadian productions of shows
that have been performed by the Classic Theatre Festival, from The Marriage-Go-Round and The Star-Spangled Girl (last summer’s lineup) to Bell, Book and Candle and The Fourposter. Visitors to the museum exhibit still have an opportunity to enjoy the sights of Stratford in the 1950s and 1960s, from the colourful playbills and season posters to original magazine stories about landmark moments in Stratford’s theatrical history. They’ll also see original paintings by legendary Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent, as well as
memorabilia from Perth’s very own Balderson Theatre, which for years was the largest theatre between Toronto and Montreal and was the home of the comic troupe The Marks Brothers. “This has certainly been a unique look back at some of the founding companies of modern Canadian theatre, and it’s great that we have this opportunity to continue sharing this with visitors as well as residents who haven’t had a chance to see it yet,” says Rennie. The exhibit, at 11 Gore Street East, runs until Nov. 4.

The 39 Steps proves itself the path to laughter at Full Circle Theatre Arts – BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre, has hit the boards right on the funny bone with their season opening production of John Buchan and Patrick Barlow’s The 39 Steps. “It’s been a long time since I laughed so hard,� offered one patron. The comedy adaptation of the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock movie had long runs in both London’s West End and on Broadway, where it become the longest running play of the 2000s. BarnDoor’s new staging is fast and energetic, keeping the action and laughs flowing. It’s a clown show, without the wigs, big shoes and funny noses, but filled with comedy “bits� and laughter. Hero Richard Hannay, played by Garry Welsh, is a forthright young man just returned from abroad (from Canada, actually) and at a loss as to what to do with his life. Seeking a “mindless and trivial� diversion (“I know!� he says. “A show at the Full Circle Theatre! There’s nothing more mindless than that!�), he suddenly finds himself caught up in a mystery that involves voluptuous international spies, frantic chases through the Scottish moors and murder. It’s the stuff of a spy novel – which, of course, is exactly what it is, based on John Buchan’s 1915 book. The trick of the play is that all of the many, many characters in the show are played by a handful of people, switching hats and accents from scene to scene, and, often, line to line. The actor playing the lead of Richard Hannay is the only one who plays just one character. Juli Heney provides the potential for love in Hannay’s life, both as the shy but eager Margaret, a young Scots woman trapped in a loveless marriage, and as Pamela, forthright and courageous but linked to Hannay in his flight – literally, as they spend the second act handcuffed together! Donna Bourgeault is the sultry spy, Annabella Schmidt, at first (think Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle, but with a German accent), but also an English lady, a Scottish hotel-keeper,
ling underwear salesmen on a train to RAF pilots to milkmen to inept policemen (whose exploits are accompanied by the Benny Hill chase theme music). Their respective turns as the evil spy mastermind, Professor Jordan, and as vaudeville performer Mr. Memory, are highlights of the night. Audience favourite moments are many: Welsh, fleeing, finding himself in the middle of a pipe and drum band parade and tying his jacket around his waist as a kilt, joining the band and escaping; Daley as a dour Scots farmer, reciting an increasingly hellfire-and-brimstone dinner blessing while watching his wife flirt with his guest; the ongoing game of “spot the Hitchock reference� the cast play; a political meeting hosted by a trio of aged and decrepit party organizers, who mistake fugitive Hannay for their guest speaker; Welsh and Heney, handcuffed together, attempting to negotiate a stile and becoming more and more entangled. And, of course, the famous, or infamous, garter incident, which must be seen. The actors are left to their own devices to turn props and furniture to clever use, with the basic set, depicting a theatre stage and “stalls� (box seats, as we would call them on this side of the Atlantic), providing the backdrop to imagination, conjuring scenes from the Scottish moors to a farmer’s cottage to Hannay’s apartment and much more. Two ladders and a plank be-
Above, sultry spy Annabella (Donna Bourgeault) is murdered in the arms of dashing hero Richard Hannay (Garry Welsh) to start the story rolling in BarnDoor Productions’ new staging of John Buchan and Patrick Barlow’s The 39 Steps, which runs Thursday through Sunday this week at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth. Left, hero Richard Hannay (Garry Welsh) bids adieu to winsome Margaret (Juli Heney) before fleeing the police.
come the Forth Bridge, two stools and the same plank become a stile, three stools become the hardest bed anyone ever slept in – or on. Along with a sound-scape of music and effects and lighting by Nolan Popplewell that takes full advantage of the Full Circle Theatre’s newly upgraded system, it’s a production that calls on the audience to use their imagination as much as the actors and rewards them with two hours of fun. That’s what the show is all about: imagination and fun. Author Patrick Barlow imagined Hitchcock’s movie as a comedy; Hitchcock imagined John Buchan’s novel as an adventure movie – and John Buchan imagined a story that has been credited with creating the whole genre of spy novels. The purpose of an adventure story is, of course, fun and, in the case of Barlow’s adaptation and BarnDoor’s staging, a whole evening of laughs. The 39 Steps concludes its run this week, running Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. (Oct. 24, 25, 26 and 27). Tickets are $20 reserved or $22 at the door; students are just $10. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca. No credit cards required; cash on arrival is requested.

Würzburg, Germany’s rise from destruction remarkable almost perfectly.” High explosive bombs toppled buildings across the medieval centre of Würzburg. Individual fires sparked by the incendiary devices quickly spread to form a huge conflagration, generating extremely high temperatures. The blaze could be seen from a distance of more than 120 miles by the bomber crews returning home. The blaze quickly became a firestorm. In just 17 minutes the centre of Würzburg was 90 per cent destroyed. The suburbs of the city were 68 per cent razed. The death toll was a staggering 5,000. Most suffocated from the heat, either in bomb shelters or in the basements of their homes as they cowered trying to escape the near total destruction of their community. To avoid being caught in the inferno many people ran for their lives, hoping to reach the banks of the Main River which runs through Würzburg. Among the dead were an estimated 2,000 unregistered refugees who were in the city. Just 3,000 bodies were recovered. They were buried in a mass grave near the entrance to the main cemetery. American forces occupied the city three weeks later. Before the war the population of Würzburg was just over 100,000. At the time of the destructive raid it is estimated 75,000-85,000 remained in the city. Total destruction The massive attack leveled an estimated 21,000 homes and 35 churches. Among the destroyed or damaged, historic landmarks were the Würzburg Ca-

thedral and parts of the huge Würzburg Residence (circa 1744), home of the prince-bishops for 200 years. Also badly damaged was “Festung Marienberg” (Fortress Marienberg), the ancient castle which stands like a beacon overlooking Würzburg and the River Main. Earlier this month I wrote a column about Canada’s Bomber Command veterans and the fact they are finally being recognized for their sacrifices during the Second World War. One third of Bomber Command’s strength was Canadians and 10,000 of our countrymen died during the air war over Nazi-controlled Europe. At the time the Bomber Command column appeared in the paper my wife and I were in Germany on vacation with our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc. One of our stops during the two-week stay in southern Germany and northeast France was Würzburg. I had authored the Bomber Command column (it has generated a lot of reader feedback) just prior to traveling. Therefore it was sobering to learn about the level of death and destruction Würzburg suffered so late in WW II. The British bomber group which attacked Würzburg were, of course, part
of Bomber Command. But the suffering of the city’s civil population was similar to that of people in so many cities in England, France, Russia, the Netherlands and many other nations during a brutal and deadly world war. The oft-repeated statement “war is hell” came to mind during our tour of Würzburg. We visited the small museum which stands as a permanent reminder of what happened to the city and its residents on that terrible night in 1945. Frank and I were able to examine an unexploded Allied incendiary device which was disarmed and is now part of the museum collection. The pictures we saw of Würzburg after the air raid, taken in 1945 and 1946, show the incredible extent of the destruction. In fact seeing the aftermath first-hand prompted an American army officer to suggest the ruins should be left untouched as “a monument to the effects of aerial warfare.” His opinion that Würzburg “should be rebuilt elsewhere” was definitely not an idle thought! Instead the city has been painstakingly restored on the original footprint, literally from the ground up. During our visit we were amazed at how much has been accomplished. Würzburg’s rebirth is truly remarkable! The first task was removing the unbelievable amount of rubble left by the air raid. An estimated 2.7 million cubic metres of debris had to be moved. That job wasn’t completed until 1964, a full 19 years later. Most of the heavy work was done by women because the men were either dead or taken prisoner of war. Würzburg’s destruction was more
total than that of Dresden which is normally held up as the prime example of Germany’s suffering during the Bomber Command offensive. But unlike some other German cities, including Ulm (two hours away by road) which was also heavily damaged by Allied bombs in 1944, Würzburg has been carefully restored. The buildings of historic importance have been accurately replicated. The community is once again the post card perfect place it was before the air raid. During our day in Würzburg we toured the dramatic residence of the prince-bishops, one of two castles in the city. It was almost completely gutted by flames resulting from the air raid. Only the central vestibule, garden hall, main staircase and two halls survived although their roofs were burned away. Restoration ongoing The sprawling residence, which is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List, has been totally rebuilt although many individual rooms have yet to be refurbished, 68 years after they were consumed by flames. It is clearly a lengthy and complicated process. Later in the day the four of us completed the steep climb to Fortress Marienberg, overlooking Würzburg and the River Main. The ancient castle was ravaged by fire following the air raid and reconstruction work inside continues. The massive structure, originally built in 704 AD, is the main symbol of WürzSee COLUMN page 21

Lifestyle – The air raid sirens in Würzburg, Germany began to wail at 7 p.m. on the night of March 16, 1945. At first it was a low-level alert. Air raid warnings were nothing new in the historic city located in the Franconia region of northern Bavaria. This time, however, things would be very different! One hour after the first siren sounded the alert was raised to a high alarm. A full alarm was given to the residents at 9:07 and the first bombs began to drop just 18 minutes later. This was no ordinary raid. The decision to attack Würzburg was made by Royal Air Force Command at High Wycombe, west of London. By the closing weeks of World War II the community had been relatively undamaged. It was on the route to other targets including nearby Nuremberg. The unit undertaking the attack was No. 5 Group which had also executed the heaviest raid on Dresden just one month earlier. On March 16 a total of 236 bombers, 225 Lancasters and 11 Mosquitoes, had taken off from their bases in southeast England in the early evening. They were guided over France with the help of a sophisticated radar system. Favourable weather conditions assisted the bomber crews in reaching the target which was brightly illuminated with magnesium flares (commonly called “Christmas trees”) dropped by the Mosquitoes. Three waves of aircraft unleashed nearly 1,000 pounds of bombs. Among them were over 300,000 incendiaries. War historians note that “the city was hit

Explore sexy side of nature with Michael Runtz at upcoming gala dinner Community – Nature wears many faces. She can be beautiful. She can be graceful. She can also seem uncaring and even harsh. But nature also has a very sexy side to her. Join Michael Runtz for an intimate and highly visual look at the fascinating mating rituals of animals. From love songs to sexy perfumes and nuptial gifts, animals use many means to meet that special someone. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) invites you, and maybe that special someone, to a fundraising gala dinner on Friday, Nov. 8 at the Almonte Civitan Club. Runtz’s presentation will be the highlight of the evening which will also feature a silent auction offering a wide range of useful and interesting items, with an emphasis on services, ranging from weekends in the woods to private gourmet dinners to guided walks.
Runtz is one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists, nature photographers and natural history authors. Eleven best-selling publications offer evidence of his passion, knowledge and stunning photography. His infectious and enthusiastic teaching style attracts thousands of students annually to his Natural History course at Carleton University for which he has received awards for teaching excellence from students and peers alike. But nowhere does Runtz feel more at home than in the natural world itself – howling with the elusive wolf, digging out salamanders from under a rotting log, luring in rutting moose with his skillful calls, or capturing speeding dragonflies with his net. His rich personal encounters with nature provide enlightening and highly amusing anecdotes for his listeners.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy will host a fundraising gala dinner Friday, Nov. 8 at the Almonte Civitan Club. Special guest speaker for the event will be naturalist, photographer and author Michael Runtz, who will provide a visual look at the sexy side of nature, an example of which are the beavers shown above.
The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust conserves exceptional natural spaces for future generations, including High Lonesome Nature Reserve, Blueberry Mountain and Rose Hill Nature Reserve. MMLTC is legally required to care for the properties for 1,000 years and all proceeds from this fundraising event will be used to do that. The gala begins at 6 p.m. with din-

SATURDAY OCTOBER 26
News – There’s no denying that home renovations can increase the value of your home. According to the Canadian Home Renovation Survey (www.aicanada.ca/e/findappraiser_home. cfm) a kitchen or bathroom renovation can be expected to nearly double the amount you invest. According to the survey, $10,000 spent will increase your home’s value by $17,500 to $20,000. To look at another example, for every $1 you spend to paint, inside or out, expect to get $1.50 to $2 back. The survey listed the top 20 most-frequently performed renovation projects, along with the expected return each. (See table below). It’s clear that renovating adds value. • Bathroom renovation: 75 to 100 per cent • Kitchen renovation: 75 to 100 per cent • Interior painting: 50 to 100 per cent • Exterior painting: 50 to 100 per cent

News – Many Ontarians live on floodplains or close to lakes, rivers and creeks. Despite the obvious benefits of living close to bodies of water the risk of being impacted by flooding can be a serious concern. In Canada, flood insurance isn’t available to homeowners. Certain water damage may be covered by homeowner policies, including sewer backup and burst pipes but overland flooding is not covered. The Ontario Real Estate Asso-

ciation offers the following tips to reduce the chances of flood damage to your home: • Access material about flood reduction from your local municipality; contact your municipality to find out where sand and bags are available should a flood occur. • Walk around your home after a heavy rainfall to see where water is pooling. If water flows toward the home, seek professional advice about directing water away from the home.

• Clean gutters and downspouts. • Make sure your home’s drain tiles work. The basement may flood if tiles are old or plugged and need replacing. • Flood proof the basement or ground floor, which involves sealing the foundation. • Install backflow valves on basement floor drains, washing machine drains, toilets and sink drains. • Buy a sump pump and make sure it’s ready to be used.

However, the survey warns that expected returns are dependent on many factors such as property location and quality of workmanship. Ill-conceived or poorly built renovations can actually decrease a home’s value. If you’re looking to increase the value of your home via renovation before selling, experts suggest following a few common-sense guidelines: • Build for good returns. Sticking with the projects that are most likely to increase your investment gives you a good margin of safety in case things don’t go as planned. When in doubt, leave it out. • Build to similar quality as the rest of your home and the homes surrounding it. Improvements that are “over-built” will not realize full value. • Build for your location. Don’t add air conditioning if you only need it for two days in August.

burg. It was home to the prince-bishops for nearly five centuries prior to the construction of the residence in the city proper. Today it stands as a monument to those who rebuilt it. On cursory examination one would never know much of the castle isn’t original! The once battered centre of Wßrzburg is now a wonderful blend of old and new. More modern interiors are masked by the fabulous, half-timbered exteriors which are features of so many German communities. The cobblestone streets in the city centre help complete what, in truth, is a façade. Most of the original buildings are gone. Only the foundations are original.
Today trams share the streets with commercial vehicles in the bustling downtown area of WĂźrzburg (population 125,000). Sidewalk cafĂŠs and Gasthofs (restaurants which also rent rooms) were doing a brisk business at lunch hour on a perfect fall day. We strolled across the Old Main Bridge which is now pedestrianized and marveled at the idyllic city with its wide river, its two castles and tall church spires. WĂźrzburg in 2013 is proof of the resiliency of people. It is a triumph of the human spirit! A brochure about the air raid of 1945 ends with a chapter entitled ‘Reconciliation with the Enemies.’ It explains how initial bad relations between the residents of WĂźrzburg and the Ameri-
can occupiers were overcome through the efforts of several individuals. The city is now twinned with Caen, France (also heavily bombed during the war) Dundee, Scotland and Rochester, New York. In 2001, WĂźrzburg became a member of the “Cross of Nailsâ€? initiative founded in Coventry, England a city destroyed by German bombs in 1940. Past events will never and should never be forgotten. But ultimately forgiveness has replaced bitterness and WĂźrzburgers have turned the page to a new and bright chapter in the long and intriguing history of their community.

1935 Dodge sedan – a perfect blend of old and new Lifestyle – Mac and Sue Hyatt of Leamington, Ontario, own a 1935 Dodge 4-door sedan originally built in Michigan. Many years later, Bob Menard of Windsor, Ont., purchased the car and turned it into a street rod with a Corvair front suspension, a 9-inch Ford rear end, and a 289 cubic inch Ford motor and transmission. The car was repainted a bright yellow with orange flames. “In 1986,” recalls Mac, “I began looking for ‘my’ street rod. I always went to the Classic Cruisers car show in Leamington and there was Bob’s car for sale. I purchased it and for the next four or five years, we drove it to car shows everywhere, and everywhere we went, it was still known as ‘Bob’s car,’ so Sue and I decided to make it ‘our’ car. We took it to Dennis Pillon of ‘Wheel Razar’, where we completely disassembled the car and he began the restoration. I was able to work along with him. “Sue fell in love with the colour – Candy Wineberry from PPG. The entire car was taken down to bare metal, followed by two coats of silver metallic, then 12 coats of Red Clear, then three clear coats to protect the red, for a total of 17 light coats of urethane enamel. The car was completed in 1993. I took it to the Detroit Autorama and it won First in its Class, which shows what kind of work Dennis did. “But what was a Ford engine doing in a Dodge? A few years later, I bought a disassembled Hemi engine from a friend: a 330 cubic inch DeSoto Hemi engine, built only in 1956.
Missing a few parts, I found a ’56 DeSoto parts car in Toronto. Now I had all the parts I needed to rebuild the engine. A later model Torque Flite 727 automatic transmission and adapter plate was assembled onto the Hemi. “Newly painted fenders and front end were carefully removed to install the new 330 Hemi. I also found a dual quad intake from a 1957 341 cubic inch DeSoto Adventurer and installed it on the 330 engine. Now our ’35 Dodge was truly a Mopar guy’s car. A few years later, a completely new interior was installed by Mr. B in Coatsworth and air conditioning by Frank Wall in Cottam. “Over the past 27 years, Sue and I have enjoyed attending many car shows and the car has won many major awards, including Best of Show in New Hamburg and Outstanding Ontario Car in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Sue and I hope to enjoy our ’35 for many more years to come.” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O.

Mikael Hafstrom’s Escape Plan should have been made in 1980s MOVIE: Escape Plan STARRING: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Amy Ryan, Vinnie Jones and Jim Caviezel DIRECTOR: Mikael Hafstrom RATING: 14A Arts – It’s hard to believe Escape Plan wasn’t made in the ’80s. Back then fans would have lined up in droves to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the same film, but I suppose it’s better late than never. Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) makes his living by breaking out of prisons. He’s the leading authority in structural security. As such he gets hired to go into a prison as a prisoner, finds the
prison’s weak points, exploits them, and then breaks out. Normally Ray and his team work within the system, but the CIA needs Ray to test a new facility. It’s run by a private corporation, in a secret location, and it holds the worst criminals in the world. There are no trials, no parole and as far as the public is concerned it doesn’t exist. Despite his better judgment Ray agrees to the job, but soon after he’s picked up he realizes his mistake. He’s drugged, blindfolded, and taken to the secret prison. When he comes to the warden, Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) isn’t the man Ray was told was the warden, and Hobbes has no idea who Ray really is.
My Take MARK HASKINS
Lied to, betrayed, Ray is trapped in a high tech prison that was built by someone who has read his book frontwards and backwards. The only person willing to help him is a fellow prisoner named Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Together they might be able to find
out how to escape. It’s the ultimate escape artist versus the ultimate prison. Escape Plan isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The story is actually pretty clever. Stallone’s character, Ray, is a genius when it comes to solving a very particular kind of puzzle – that of breaking out of prisons. The secret prison he’s taken to, called The Tomb, is the ultimate puzzle, and it is interesting to see how he solves it. In order to get Ray into The Tomb you have to be willing to overlook a few plot points that don’t make sense, but I guess the important thing is that Ray gets in the Tomb. The other reason to see this film is to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger to-
gether. A lot of fans have wanted to see this team up for a long time. Of course some might say it should have happened 30 years ago, but even so, these guys are still fun to watch. There’s a competitive edge to their chemistry, but it works. Amy Ryan, 50 Cent, Sam Neil and Vinnie Jones round out the rest of the cast nicely. I especially enjoyed seeing Jim Caviezel in the role of Hobbes. There is something about Caviezel that makes him the perfect arrogant villain. Escape Plan has been a long time coming. It wasn’t exactly worth the wait, but it wasn’t terrible either. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Lifestyle – “Hello Brian, I have my airbag light on in my 1997 Dodge Intrepid. I think it is ‘old age’ as there has been no collision. Is it a “normally open� switch which closes on an impact? Can you describe it to me? I understand there is one on the driver’s side and one on the front passenger side. How can I find out which one has triggered the airbag light? Any info would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Colin� Yes the impact sensor system is basically a switch, but there’s much more to it than that. First you need to find out what code is stored causing the light to come on. There are two impact sensors on the front of the car, the air-bag units themselves, an inertia sensor in the dash, a computer and all the wiring that connects them together. There are more than 20 different codes that can cause the airbag light to come on that particular model. It could be anything from an airbag unit to a sensor to wiring or a connector. The only thing that’s certain is that if the light is on, the airbags will not deploy in a collision. You would need an airbag computer scanner to find out which code(s) is present and for each there is a rather involved diagnostic/wiring chart to follow to get the bottom of things. It’s best left to the pros. “Hi Brian, Just a simple question, one that various people will not comment on for some reason. When paying for a synthetic oil to be used in an oil change, how does a consumer know if what he/she pays for is what he/she gets? This is important since there is a good difference in price (between regular and synthetic oil). Thank you G W� When it comes to oil sold in individual litre units, you can always ask to see the sealed bottles with the brand name labels. When it comes to bulk quantities in storage tanks, a retailer can always show you a delivery slip indicating the supplier and oil type. In many cases it’s a matter of trust but keep in mind that if a retailer is caught substituting bargain basement priced oil for a more expensive brand-name synthetic; he or she won’t be open for long. One oil to stay away from is anything labeled semi-synthetic. From research I did several years ago the ‘semi’ designation does not bring anything close to the expected 50 per cent of synthetic in the mix, but only around 10 to 15 per cent

Take the fright out of driving this Halloween with these tips through its Be Car Care Aware (BCCA) program. “By practicing cautious driving and performing regular vehicle maintenance, we can help keep everyone safe this Hallowe’en,” said Marc Brazeau, president and chief executive officer, AIA Canada. “Be sure to check your vehicle’s safety items and remind children of basic safety rules before heading out trick-or-treating.” More than 64 per cent of surveyed Canadians say that vehicle servicing is important to them to protect their family’s safety, according to DesRosiers’ 2013 Light Vehicle Study. With that in mind, below
are some driving and vehicle maintenance tips that can help promote safety and ward off any scares for motorists this Halloween: • Check your lights. Replace any burnt out signal lights or headlights straight away. Properly functioning lights are critical for spotting the ghouls and goblins that will be roaming your neighbourhood this Halloween, and for overall road safety. • Drive slowly and abide by the speed limit. Drivers should slow down in neighborhoods and be on high alert for children crossing streets or emerging from between parked cars. • Check your brakes. Your brake sys-
tem is the most vital safety component of your vehicle as it allows you to stop to avoid collision. Check that your brakes are in good working order in the event that you need to make a quick stop. Overly excited trick-or-treaters may not always look both ways before crossing the street! • Check your tires. Worn tires lose their ability to grip the road in adverse conditions. Stopping on wet roads can take up to four times the normal distance of stopping on dry roads. Drivers should check their tire inflation pressure as well as tread depth and wear at least once per month to ensure their tires are gripping
the road properly. • Check your horn. Honk, honk! Make sure your horn is working in the event that you need to alert other drivers or pedestrians of danger, or get their attention (and to ward off monsters). • Get a vehicle check-up. Regular maintenance is the best form of prevention for breakdowns. Bring your vehicle to an auto repair shop or qualified mechanic this Hallowe’en for a check-up to make sure your vehicle is prepared for the colder months that lie ahead. For more tips on how to improve the safety of your vehicle, you can visit: www. BeCarCareAware.ca.
About AIA AIA is the national trade association representing the automotive aftermarket industry in Canada. The aftermarket is a $19.4 billion industry that employs 420,000 people. The industry is composed of companies that manufacture, distribute and install automo-
tive replacement parts, accessories, tools, and equipment. As part of its mandate, AIA works to promote preventative maintenance through its Be Car Care Aware consumer education program. Submitted by the Automotive Industries Association of Canada. R0012172507_TF
Lifestyle – While Halloween is one of the most festive nights of the year for children it also ranks among the most dangerous for young pedestrians. To help promote safety on this spooky and fun filled evening, there are steps that motorists should take to prevent unwanted scares on the road. By performing a quick check of your vehicle and taking extra precautions when driving through neighborhoods, you can help make sure any frights are reserved for the holiday, not for the road, according to representatives from the Automotive Industries Association (AIA) of Canada,
UCDSB trustees review student representation at board table “The idea was that the protégé would follow the student trustee to some of their meetings, gain some experience and then through the election process be selected as the student trustee for the following year. But in the last few years, that just hasn’t happened.” Instead, the position has been contested in recent years, and a different student trustee has been selected instead of the student who initially served as protégé.
McMillan and other trustees noted that student leaders who will host regional Student Senate meetings under recent changes will receive the training and experience a protégé would receive – helping assist with succession planning. They added that since the student trustee-elect is chosen in February that there is sufficient time for the current student trustee to mentor the student trustee-elect and prepare them for the role. Both the
student trustee and student trustee-elect attend an annual conference where the preparation for the successor is enhanced. During the session, trustees also passed a motion that amended the bylaw on voting at board meetings. The amendment will make it standard procedure for the chair to vote on all board motions unless specified otherwise. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

also abolished the position because they felt that, with the recent changes to the Student Senate, the student trustee is being offered enough mentoring, support and training to fulfill the role without the backup of a protégé. First vice-chair Jeff McMillan proposed the protégé position be eliminated. “Basically, the position was created a few years ago to ensure some continuity to the role of student trustee,” explained McMillan.

News – Trustees agreed Wednesday, Oct. 9 with a new direction for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Student Senate, offering more consistent representation and four regional representatives to support the student trustee. To bolster this new structure, trustees voted to eliminate the position of student trustee protégé because it was not fulfilling the mandate for which it was created. Trustees

Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority officially opens new facility By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
News – After 31 years away from Carleton Place, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) is back in town. Friday, Oct. 18, it celebrated the opening of its new state-of-the-art facility. Known as the Mississippi Valley Conservation Centre, the wood pillars, stone work and wallto-wall windows cut an imposing figure along Highway 7 where the building is situated in Roy Brown Park. During the afternoon event, guests filled the centre’s large lobby and were treated to refreshments and hors d’oeuvres before heading into the spacious meeting room for remarks. “It’s been a long journey, but it was made possible entirely by the financial support of municipalities and many groups and individuals also contributed to the success which we celebrate today,” noted MVCA board chair Mark Burnham. Much thought went into the design and features of the 17,000 square foot space, which carried an overall project cost of $5.9 million with construction costs making up $4.8 million. Its proximity to the Mississippi River puts it in an attractive position to further public education and enhance watershed conservation programs. According to MVCA general manager Paul Lehman, the road towards realizing the new facility has taken more than six years. “When we embarked on this project...I didn’t realize how long the process would be,” he admitted. He thanked the Township of Lanark Highlands for hosting the MVCA in with the Ministry of Natural Resources since early 1982, before which it was housed in the Victoria School building in Carleton Place.
“We eventually outgrew that space on Highway 511 and the board faced a number of decisions,” he stated. Lehman said the Tiree company of Ottawa evaluated the existing office facilities, prepared a feasibility assessment and conducted an extensive search of location. Many different site options were explored before the MVCA settled on the piece of land in Roy Brown Park, which was proposed by Township of Beckwith reeve Richard Kidd. “One day Richard arrived at one of our board meetings and suggested Roy Brown Park and suddenly we had an agreement,” Burnham confirmed. Carleton Place had to annex the land from Beckwith in order to sell it to the MVCA. “There were exceptional advantages (to the property), in terms of visibility and accessibility,” Lehman added. He credited the building committee, formed to help with the design/construction phase with keeping things on task, as well as the invaluable advice of project manager Cliff Craig, who also helped oversee the building of the new Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. “We pulled Cliff out of retirement to help with the project. He offered sound advice and valuable experience,” Lehman said. “Cliff was able to keep us on track during the process.” Burnham, in turn, thanked Lehman for his leadership during the long journey. “I don’t know what kind of hockey player he was, but he’s been a real stick handler throughout this process,” Burnham said. The building Vandenberg & Wildeboer Architects designed the facility and architect Ralph Vandenberg was on hand to provide insight into its vision. He said the wood

and stone used is to reflect historic building materials and the abundance of glass represents water. Photographs were taken of heritage buildings throughout the area, primarily old mills, to use for inspiration. “We quickly realized those simple spaces were made primarily of stone and wood,” Vandenberg said. Being environmentally conscious was a big part of the process. Ways this was achieved was to attach outbuildings or workshops to save on heating costs and having separate heating and cool-
ing pads for the three areas of the building (public area, administration and workshop). “It’s a detailed design,” Vandenberg remarked. “The main part of the building is oriented to the south and there are huge windows which lets all kinds of natural light in and there are sun shades to mitigate heat gain.” Green build standards were used and some of the features include energy efficient lighting; water efficient landscaping; collecting rainwater that runs off
the roof to be used for washing vehicles and field equipment; minimizing stormwater runoff and maximizing on-site retention and infiltration; as well as lower energy use due to efficient mechanical systems. “I believe we have designed a facility that’s not only practical and functional but an effective representation of what a conservation authority should be...I trust it will serve the area for years to come,” he said. Argue Construction Ltd. han-
dled construction duties and Carp native Shawn Argue said it was a project that hit close to home. “This is very close to my heart. My father and grandfather served on the board of the MVCA and I’m very proud to be here and look at the final product,” Argue commented, adding that he hopes staff feel at home in the new space and that it is an “aesthetically pleasing and comfortable working environment.” “It’s not every day that a project like this comes along and I’m thankful I can be a part of it. Every day I drive down Highway 7 and see this office building, I will be proud to have been involved,” he stated. Several local politicians were on hand for the event, including Mississippi Mills mayor John Levi and Drummond/North Elmsley Township deputy reeve Gail Code, who also sat on the building committee and is a member of the board of directors. Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc said the centre fits in with other heritage structures such as the Carleton Place Canoe Club and the town hall. “Welcome to this special part of Carleton Place...it’s an innovative vision and I commend you. To the contractors: a job extremely well done,” she said. Kidd brought greetings from Beckwith Township and said the wood and stone construction evokes a building that is solid. “And I think the staff here at the MVCA is very solid. I also think it (wood and stone) is practical,” he noted. “A solid staff that’s very down to earth and practical sums up the MVCA and what they mean to our community.” After Burnham, Sweetnam and MVCA vice-chair John Karau cut the ribbon to officially open the space, tours were offered of the facility. It was opened to the general public the next day, Oct. 19, for tours as well.

His vision for the town is one that includes much needed commercial development as well as strategically located condominiums, adding to the vibrancy of the downtown core. Flynn told the sold out crowd that Thorbjornsson is someone who should

News – The father of a Carleton Place woman who was killed in a balcony collapse in Mexico last week will be hosting a fundraiser for her two children. When Ted Murray, a former Perth resident, who now lives in Smiths Falls, went to bed on Sunday, Oct. 20, there were already 360 people on Facebook who had said that they wanted to attend the event – and “Farrell Hall only holds 330,� said Murray during an interview the next morning. The fundraiser and silent auction will be held on Friday, Nov. 22, from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. at Farrell Hall, 186 Gore St. E., Perth, for the benefit of Kaydence and Harmony Guy, who lost their
mother Shannon Amy Guy on Oct. 16, during her honeymoon in Mexico, when her third-storey balcony collapsed at her hotel. Tickets are $10 and are available by calling 613-326-0877, 613-200-9493, or 613-264-7336. Those wishing to donate can also do so at any Toronto Dominion Canada Trust branch. The account number was not available at press time. “The responses we are getting from the community, Perth, Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills, is overwhelming,â€? said Murray. “We are getting donations from as far away as Toronto‌We are so grateful to everyone for their kind words.â€?

Fundraiser planned for children who lost mother in balcony collapse phone on Nov. 22. “I had offered but, I think, I’d rather be a part of it,� said Murray. DJ Glenn Miller of Arnprior has stepped up to donate his services for the evening instead. It was while he was wrapping up his regular show at Fiddleheads Bar and Grill in Perth that Murray heard the news that his daughter had died after a balcony gave way at a resort in Mexico, killing her and injuring her husband, Paul Guy, and another couple. “(I felt) shock, disbelief, of course,� said Murray. He drove with other family members to Ottawa to tell his other daughter the tragic news before she heard about it in the media. He later picked up his son from Peterborough and “we’re all together now. They’re taking it so hard. We are all having our moments.� There were no funeral arrangements as of Monday, since Shannon’s body has not been returned home. “I just want to get her home so as we can band together as a family and try to move forward,� said Murray. Ironically, his daughter was not the only person close to Murray who died while on vacation in Mexico. About 20 years ago, his brother Jim drowned while on vacation there. She had gotten married on Aug. 2 to Paul, with whom she had two children. The couple arrived in Mexico on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Carleton Place chamber honours excellence in business at fall gala By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
Business – In front of a sold out crowd Saturday night, Oct. 19, the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce recognized businesses and individuals for outstanding achievement and the contributions made to the economic growth and prosperity of the municipality. The organization’s inaugural Business Awards of Excellence Gala at the town hall auditorium did not disappoint. “This is the grandest affair the Chamber has ever put on,” said president Donna MacDonald, “and the place looks stunning!” MacDonald shared the evening’s hosting duties with local councillor Jerry Flynn. “Carleton Place is a perfect place for a business to prosper and grow,” she said, “and there is and will be quite a bit happening in our town over the next several years.” Awards were presented in six categories, and the winners were: Business/ Business Person of the Year (Volunder ‘Wally’ Thorbjornsson of CP Rentals & Property Management); Community Involvement (Giant Tiger – Ray MacLaren); New Business/Venture (Bridge Café and Bistro – Bev Appleby); Innovation – Visual Creativity (Mahogany Spa – Catherine Wood); Excellence in Customer Service (Accountapotamus Inc. – Patti Saulnier); and Employee of the Year (Cathie McOrmond – Business Improvement Association). By winning the Business/ Business Person of the Year, Thorbjornsson joined an elite club. Recent members include Thomas Cavanagh of Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited (2012), Brent and Lisa King of SRC Music (2011), Robin Mulloy of Tomahawk Technologies (2010), Ian Edwards of Carleton Auto Parts (2009), Roger Weldon and Derek Levesque of Ballygibblin’s Restaurant & Pub (2008) and Ray MacLaren of Giant Tiger (2007). In addition to the presentation of awards, gala festivities included a nominee reception, cocktail hour, threecourse dinner by Leatherworks Catering and musical entertainment by Dr. Sean Murphy and The Barking Spiders. The affair served as a launch into local Canada Small Business Week festivities. “Business owners are a special breed,” said MacDonald. “Driven by dreams and fuelled by success. Local politicians in attendance included Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and councillors Flynn, Louis Antonakos, Doug Black and Rob Probert, as well as Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd. The night’s key sponsors were Leatherworks Catering, Rental Village, EMC/ Metroland Media, Unposed Photography, Staples Business Depot and the Town of Carleton Place. The Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce has been serving the community since 1916. “We will begin planning for millennium celebration soon, to be held in 2016,” said MacDonald.

I was speechless today when I heard about this tragic day for you and your family.” Before the start of the annual Country Harvest Music Show in Carleton Place on Sunday, Oct. 20, emcee Charlie Kitts led the crowd in a moment of silence for Shannon. The day prior, the Carleton Place and Chamber of Commerce held its Business in Excellence Awards Gala. Sinders Bridal House was nominated in the Business/Business Person of the Year category. Owner Gabriella Stern-Young, Shannon’s boss, did not attend.

Murray has already been soliciting happy anecdotes of his daughter online, from her days doing drama, even impersonating Ed Sullivan, at Caldwell Street Public School. She later attended Carleton Place High School. He said he is enjoying hearing “a lot of stories, lots of good times, special memories. She touched a lot of people, that is for sure.” Messages of condolences have also been appearing on the Facebook pages of Shannon’s family. “No words can describe the pain that you and your family are enduring right now, but I hope you can use them as strength to

EDITORIAL
Public papers belong in public hands Editorial – Don’t the taxpayers of our local communities have a right to know what is being proposed with their own money? Recently at a local council meeting, one of our reporters asked for a copy of the draft budget document. Following a three-hour meeting, she wanted to do due diligence and properly report on the flurry of facts, figures and sums flying around the room. She was told by the treasurer that it was not town policy to do that and was backed up in this assertion by the mayor – even though the mayor saw nothing wrong with handing the very same reporter a copy of the draft budget last year. We are glad another council member stood up for transparency in government by giving his copy to our reporter. He was advised against giving the media a copy of the budget, but the
treasurer was somewhat vague about whether a written policy existed about handing out such a document. Well, if it’s not written down, then it’s not town policy and if it is written down, it should be changed. Many other municipalities not only make these documents available to the media, they post them online for all to see. This is the people’s money and there is no reason why a document that is discussed in an open meeting should not be available, in some format, to the public. After all, many of these councils conduct public meetings during the budget process for the express purpose of inviting citizens to provide input. Town council, Carleton Place in this instance, would prefer that only a finalized version of the document be made public – thereby short-circuiting the
opportunity for public input. If a draft proposal wants to invest an obscene amount of money into some fringe project that is clearly a waste of money, is not the time to discuss it early on? Our reporters and editors at this newsroom make sure that any stories based on such draft documents reflect that it is only a draft – a work in progress, a living document, if you will. However, the truth will eventually come out. It’s not a question of if this information will get out, but when. It already has, in a way, through the open discussion that was held about it. Our papers are not splashy tabloids that thrive on sensation. We are respectable members of the community and live in those towns we cover. We are not big city dailies who only show up when something terrible happens and
then leave. Yes, we cover the hard news that the powers that be would rather not see. They would rather not have reporters or the public anywhere near their councils, would rather have all of their meetings in private, and put out glowing press releases about how great they are. All you have to do is look to our senate in Ottawa to see what happens when you give politicians money, and then do not have any oversight over how the money is spent. As community newspapers, we cover your cheque presentations, your medal presentations, your awards, your “feel good” stories. But we also cover the news that matters, like what you intend to do, or propose to do, with our hardearned money. That’s right, our money, not yours.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DEAR EDITOR: In response to some negative comments that I have been receiving in reference to my decision to vote against the downsizing of the council, for the Town of Mississippi Mills, I would like to offer this explanation to the residents of Town of Mississippi Mills. I have said to council since the beginning of the “Reduction of the Size of Council Negotiation” process, that I would reserve my decision, on this issue, until after the public meetings were held and when the public survey results were tabulated. The public meetings were a flop with only a handful of residents attending those public meetings (approximately 60 participants in all three meetings combined) and when the results of the public survey were tabulated there were only 240 residents responding to the survey out of an electorate of 10,603 persons (only 2.27 per cent of the electorate responded). In addition, the survey showed that the ward of Ramsay voted no to a reduction to the size of council by a margin of 57.4 per cent, they voted no to the election of a deputy mayor by a margin of 48.9 per cent and they voted 56.4 per cent in favour of keeping council at the present size of 11 members. I consider myself to be a councillor that represents all of the residents of Mississippi Mills not only the ward of Almonte and in my mind, there was not a reasonable number of residents participating in the processes used to determine the wishes of the residents on the council size issue and with the largest ward in the amalgamated community saying that they did not want a reduction in the size
of council, I concluded that the results did not warrant giving council the unilateral mandate to change the size of council and that a more reliable means of getting a more accurate account of the residents’ wishes would be to hold a referendum during the 2014 election. To this end, I will be putting forward a motion to council to have a referendum put on the next municipal election ballot (2014) to allow a greater number of the residents to participate in the process (a referendum dictates that at a minimum of 50 per cent of the electorate must vote yes or no
on a clearly defined proposal, before it can be declared won or lost) and either way this will put this issue to bed once and for all. If the vote comes in with the majority of the residents, as a whole, agreeing to changes in the size of council then the changes as presented to the electorate will implemented in 2018. In my mind, this is the democratic way of handling this issue. Garry Dalgity Councillor Town of Mississippi Mills R0012371669_1024
My neighbour tells me he doesn’t BELIEVE in chiropractic.
What should I say Dr Murphy? When I heard this question this week, it was not the first time I have heard it. I don’t believe in medicine... I don’t believe in dentistry... I don’t believe in education... No, we don’t hear these statements, so why do we hear the word BELIEF when it pertains to chiropractic? Belief comes from inside you. No one has control over your belief except for you. I am particularly interested in why the word BELIEF gets linked to chiropractic. Chiropractic care is a decision not a discussion. Picture chiropractic as a tool. Let’s say a trusty hammer. If I saw someone hold up a hammer and say, I don’t believe in this hammer. What are they saying? Do they mean the hammer doesn’t exist? Do they mean the hammer doesn’t work? Do they mean the hammer is not a trustworthy tool?
Believing in a hammer should be simple. So believing in chiropractic is saying what? Does your neighbour believe chiropractic will work? Does your neighbour believe you should trust a chiropractor? Does your neighbour believe that they would not achieve good health with chiropractic care? When it comes to belief, look inside. If your neighbour doesn’t believe, don’t worry. I believe in them. I believe they were designed perfectly when they were created. I believe your neighbour is a gift and could be living a dream-filled healthy life. Live as an example of good health. Your neighbour will at least believe that you cared enough to refer them to a chiropractor. Blessings, Dr Murphy

Peter Hamer is new Ottawa Valley Family Health Team Executive Director Peter Hamer is very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in his role as the new Executive Director of the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team (OVFHT). “I’m really looking forward to working with the community, becoming part of it and looking for ways to enhance local health care,” said Mr. Hamer, who joined the OVFHT on October 21, 2013. Established in 2010, the OVFHT includes 13 family physicians and interdisciplinary health providers (IHPs), including two registered nurses, a nurse practitioner, a pharmacist, a mental health worker and a registered dietitian. The OVFHT provides primary care to patients, as well as chronic disease management and health promotion programs in such areas as diabetes, geriatrics, respiratory diseases/smoking cessation, mental health and women’s health/maternal and postpartum care. “I love the Family Health Team practice model,” said Mr. Hamer. “It allows family physicians to work together to enhance care.” The OVFHT’s relationship with Almonte General Hospital is another plus, Mr. Hamer said.
Peter Hamer “Our physicians work as part of the FHT and at the Hospital,” he explained. “Patients can be seen in the emergency department and then the same doctor can follow up with them at the Family Health Team office. It provides excellent continuity of care.” A resident of Stittsville, Mr. Hamer is a former consultant with OntarioMD, where he provided advice
and assistance to community-based physicians adopting electronic medical records. He also has extensive experience advising physicians and allied health professionals on ways to improve the overall efficiencies in their medical practices. Prior to that, he worked at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society – Ottawa Unit, and managed a number of medical centres. Mr. Hamer is replacing Antoinette Strazza, the OVFHT’s founding Executive Director. “Antoinette did a great job laying the groundwork and bringing all the physicians and IHPs into one building,” he said, adding that his priorities as Executive Director include exploring opportunities to bring in new programs and additional health care professionals. “On behalf of AGH, I would like to thank Antoinette Strazza for her outstanding work with the OVFHT over the past three years,” said AGH President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “We are also very much looking forward to working with Peter in his new role as Executive Director.”

Everyone safe after ATV bylaw comes to upcoming Mississippi Mills council meeting rescue at White Lake kkent@perfprint.ca
By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
News – Three people are safe, sound and dry after their boat capsized at White Lake the morning of Friday, Oct. 18. At approximately 10:15 a.m. that morning, the Mississippi Mills Fire Department received a call about a water rescue at White Lake: three people, two men and one woman, had fallen into the frigid water when they were trying to get back to shore in their boat. “It was three people, all in their mid to late-20s,� said Mississippi Mills fire chief Art Brown. “When we got there they had all reached shore and were being examined by paramedics.� Brown said that all three boaters reached the shore on their own and were not taken to hospital for any injuries. “They were perfectly fine,� he said. “A little shaken and wet, but other than that there were no concerns.�
News – Four-wheeling lovers rejoice – it looks like more roads will be open for use in Mississippi Mills in the near future. At its regular meeting Oct. 15, Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole carried a motion recommending that council pass the necessary bylaws to authorize the use of all-terrain vehicles on open and maintained local roads. “After much research and consultation, we feel that ATVs can co-exist with traffic on our roadways,� said Troy Dunlop, the director of roads and public works for the town. At an upcoming meeting, council will consider passing the necessary bylaws to allow ATVs on more
roads within the Town of Mississippi Mills. ATVs are already allowed on some county roads, including County Road 29 through Almonte and Pakenham. The roads and public works department have recommended the bylaw after several months of research, consultation with nearby townships and public meetings. “Throughout the summer, staff have been working with neighbouring municipalities and discussing the implications of passing an ATV bylaw on local roads,� Dunlop said. “We have found that there was not much opposition to the idea.� Two back-to-back public meetings were held on the subject in September: one in Pakenham and one in Almonte. Of the people who attended or took the online survey, 140 supported the passing of a by-
law while only six were opposed. Among the reservations from those who opposed the passing of the bylaw were noise and traffic safety concerns. “We have looked into all the possible consequences and implications of allowing ATVs on local roads, and we have come to the conclusion that it is possible to do so safely,� Dunlop said. The bylaw, if passed by council, will include only ATVs with four wheels, steering handlebars, a seat that is straddled by the rider, and that are designed to be ridden by one person with no passengers. Four-wheelers fall under that definition, while side-by-sides or UTVs do not. To be allowed to travel on the designated roadways, an ATV must be properly legal, with license plates, permits and insurance and
must have reflectors on both sides. At the meeting on Oct. 15, council members were largely in support of the proposed bylaw. Some, however, were concerned about the phrasing of “open and maintained local roadways� in the motion. “We decided to include the wording because we wanted to be very clear that ATVs were only permitted on open road allowances,� Dunlop said. “Once we have them zooming through unregulated and unmaintained land it gets complicated.� Mayor John Levi was quick to voice his opinion. “I’m surprised that unopened roads are not included, since you can’t get to anything else otherwise,� he said, adding that in order to get to authorized roads, ATV owners will need to tow their vehicles. “I think it will be a major problem.�

Mississippi Mills town council to stay at 11 members kkent@perfprint.ca
a change in council, while 33 per cent said no. The remaining seven per cent said they were undecided. Coun. Alex Gillis said this result was enough to show that the public wanted change. “More than half of the respondents said they supported a change in the size of council,� he said. “It’s going to be really frustrating if nothing changes again.� When the town hired consultants to evaluate the size of council, the firms recommended an option to change council to a seven-member structure all three times. The public survey shows similar results: 45 per cent supported the seven-member option; 32 per cent supported the status quo of 11 members; and the remaining 33 per cent were split almost evenly between the 10 and ninemember options. Seeming to take this data to heart, mayor John Levi presented a motion to change the size of council to a seven-member structure almost immediately after the item was brought to the table. Council members all voiced their opinions ahead of the vote. Coun. John Edwards brought up the idea of a referendum, say-
ing that it was the public’s right to decide. “No one consulted the public at the amalgamation back in 1998,� he said. “This time, we have to listen to what they are saying.� If council makes the decision to hold a referendum, each voter will have the opportunity to answer a yes or no question on their 2014 ballot. If the public is in favour one way or another by more than 50 per cent, council will be obligated to implement that option. Coun. Val Wilkinson said she was also not ready to make a decision based on the survey results. “I just don’t know how I can support this at this time,� she said, “because that would mean I wasn’t listening to the public, and that’s what I’m here for.� In the end, the committee defeated the motion in a six to four recorded vote. After that motion was defeated, Dalgity presented a notice of motion for an upcoming council meeting, recommending that they hold a referendum on the 2014 ballot. If the public supports a change in the size of council, the new structure will be implemented for the 2018 election.

News – Mississippi Mills town council will stay at 11 members, at least for now. At the Oct. 15 meeting, Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole received the results of the survey that collected data from residents on the size of council and ultimately defeated a motion to implement a change from the status quo. The decision ultimately came from the results of the survey that was extended to town residents in September. The survey was tasked with finding the public’s opinion on the matter, after years of hearing about a potential change. The size of the Mississippi Mills town council has been taken into consideration three times now, always yielding a recommended reduction in the number of councillors. Currently, the town has 11 council members: quite a few more than other similar town structures in the nearby area. This year, the town decided to conduct a public consultation to aid in its decision ahead of the 2014 municipal election. If a decision isn’t reached before the
end of this year, a change will not come into effect until the following election in 2018. The response to the survey, in some councillors’ opinions, was dismal at best. Only 240 of the municipality’s 12,000 residents submitted one, whether it be hard copy or electronic. This represents only two per cent of the eligible voting population. “I’m very, very disappointed with the results,� said Coun. Garry Dalgity. “I thought more people would want to give their opinions on this matter.� Even with the small sample size of residents who responded, the numbers revealed some interesting information. Out of the 240 respondents, 46 per cent were from the Almonte ward, 15 per cent from Pakenham ward and 39 per cent were from Ramsay ward. Several council members, such as Coun. Duncan Abbott, were concerned about the validity of a survey with such skewed proportions, saying that the numbers would favour Almonte more than Pakenham or Ramsay. The majority of respondents did support a change from the status quo: 60 per cent answered yes when asked if they supported

EVOY Marilyn (Dolly) (née Miller)
Joe Drummond July 4, 1982 - October 29, 2012 Beloved husband, daddy and best friend. A year has come and gone since we last saw your amazing smile. A smile that was cherished by so many; one that no one will forget. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you. Riley has grown up so fast over the past year and Colton still asks everyday “when is daddy coming home?” Each day is a new day as we journey through life without you. Looking back to this time last year there was a headline in the newspaper that read “EVERYONE’S FRIEND”... The newspaper headline couldn’t have said it any better. We miss you more each day and wish for just one more day with our best friend, husband and daddy. We will love you forever and will cherish the memories we shared with you. Ceili (Joynt), Riley and Colton Drummond xo xo xo xo PS - we love you more!!!!

SCOTT, Terry – My dearest Terry, in remembrance one year after your passing October 21, 2012. No-one knows how I miss you. What I wouldn’t give for one more touch, word or laugh. You suffered so strongly and silently and we were not able to say goodbye. I never could have said goodbye I loved you so much. As I go through my life without you we are not really apart, as I hold our memories together forever and always in my heart. Shell ***** In loving memory of our Dad and Gramps. We love and miss you every day, and even though you are gone, we keep you in our hearts... Your family who misses you terribly, Sheri (Jake), Cory(Yoko), Jacobo, Alejandro and Enna May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rain fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. ***** Loving brother always remembered and forever in our thoughts , Dave (Doreen), Kim (Don) and Karen (Ross) and nieces and nephews
ANDERSON, Carol – In loving memory of a beloved wife, best friend, mother and grandmother who passed away October 24, 2012. It’s lonely here without you, We miss you more each day, For life is not the same to us, Since you were called away. Silently we grieve, And brush away our tears, The memories you left behind, Will last throughout the years. A million times I’ve needed you, A million times I’ve cried, If love could have saved you dear, You never would have died. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, My dearest… I love you, In a very special way. If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you. Lovingly remembered by Doug, Kristen (Andrew), Greg (Kelly), Tammy (Terry), Darin (Jodi) and grandchildren Logan, Jaidyn, Reese, Maeve and Tyson

WRIGHT, Lloyd Wilson In memory of a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Lloyd Wright who passed away October 29, 2011. God looked around His garden And He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were in suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you Home. Always loved and sadly missed by Laurena and Family
DOUGLAS, Inez (nee Duffy) – In loving memory of a sister October 22, 2008. There’s a special kind of feeling That is meant for you alone A place within our hearts No one else can own.

You gave me beautiful yesterdays and wanted to give me the best tomorrows. You were an unexpected gift from God and I am forever thankful. My love is yours – always and forever. Trish

ANDERSON, Carol – In memory of a best friend and mother who passed away October 24, 2012. In my arms I held you tight, Through the hardest part of life. In my heart the memories clear, Of the greatest Mom I love so dear. I held you so close to my heart, Praying that we’ll never part. But angels came and took you away, And a tear I shed for you everyday. Now a shining lit up star, My Mom will watch from up far. In all the pain I’m going through, Just remember, I will always love you. Forever loved and missed by her daughter Kristen

OLMSTEAD, Marie – In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away October 22, 2011. You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile because she lived, You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Black-headed gull spotted in White Lake Lifestyle – In Pakenham, Ray Holland has a nearby Northern Saw-whet Owl that likes to wake he and his wife up early in the morning and continues the ‘serenade’ or ‘long song,’ for most of the night. On Oct. 9 in Beckwith Township, Randy Marinelli had four to six Dark-eyed Juncos, and more than six White-throated Sparrows still at his place. A male Purple Finch has joined them. The next day two Purple Finches and a Northern Flicker came to dine. Randy had a Red-shouldered Hawk still around Oct. 9. Three days prior to Oct. 9, two Red-shouldered Hawks were quartering the fields behind the Carleton Place Canadian Tire store. On Sunday, a flock of Canada Geese flew over Ray’s home, with two Snow Geese in the flock. The Almonte waste sanitation ponds made a good impression on Martha and Arnie Simpson and Joyce and Mike Jaques on Oct. 14. Amongst the Canada Geese was a Ross’ Goose, a rare northern Canada visitor. Both Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs are using the ponds for nourishment. On Mississippi Lake, Peggy and Allen Stewart still see a few Pied-billed Grebes. At their feeders, Golden-crowned Kinglets are joined by Black-capped Chickadees, all on Oct. 15. This was a red letter day for Ray Holland while birding at White Lake. He saw two Bonaparte’s

Gulls, plus a first winter Blackheaded Gull! This gull lives in Europe, and is a very casual, rare visitor to North America. When I arrived, no gulls anywhere. On Oct. 16 no special gull was seen. We spent Thanksgiving weekend at one of our daughter’s homes in Barrie. We had too much fun playing with two granddaughters to see any birds other than American Crows and Ring-billed Gulls. We came home through Algonquin Provincial Park. Driving down Opeongo Road to the junction, we parked and took some shelled peanuts, which we opened, then held out hands full of peanuts. Within three minutes, two Gray Jays landed, and took the peanuts. It was a great pleasure to see them. The second week of October has shown us some of the birds that are not ready to leave for warmer climes. One little Rubythroated Hummingbird visited Eileen and Allan Stanley’s home in Almonte, and enjoyed food from their hum feeder. When Terry Kotjila looked out her window, in Mississippi Mills, a thrush was in the yard. Checking the identification marks, the
rusty tail and white eye ring diagnosed a Hermit Thrush. This species is often a lingering member of the thrush family. Terry has a White-throated Sparrow that sings daily. A Ruffed Grouse was spotted last week. Even a small black bear came to visit. When Terry drove home from town, along Wolf Grove Road, she observed many Canada Geese in the Almonte Waste Sanitation Ponds. Also there were four white geese, which we both think were Snow Geese. Some had been spotted there before Oct. 8. As I had Brent Munro fill my car’s gas tank at Munro’s Service Center, he mentioned having several American Robins in his garden two weekends ago. As well, my neighbour, Sylvia Stirret, called to report her first Darkeyed Junco of the season in the backyard. We have not had any yet, but two Red-breasted Nuthatches and one White-breasted Nuthatch came to the back feeder, Oct. 9. The first week of October, Georgina Doe, Carleton Place, counted the number of gulls in the river near the Canoe Club. Parked on Joseph Street, more than 300 were tallied, and a Belted Kingfisher put in an appearance. On another day, Georgina watched 14 Turkey Vultures soaring over town.

ALMONTE CIVITAN CLUB Dan Fallak, owner of VersaTile, a local business, talks about his experience launching his company. is made up of individuals who have either worked for large corporations or who have successfully started a business, and who now want to pass the knowledge they have gained onto new business owners. Fallak has been involved with Launch Lab for a few months, and he says he has gained invaluable advice from them since the beginning. Launch Lab and Beamish have taken on quite a few clients in the area, such as Hummingbird, a local chocolate company and Fallak’s business, VersaTile, which designs and manufactures coasters. “All you have to do to really take your business idea to the next level is ask,” Fallak said in his presentation. “I couldn’t be where I am today without all of the questions I asked. The worst anyone can say is no.” Launch Lab is working with the Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation to find clients in the area who may benefit from their services, which are free. Beamish said he encourages anyone who thinks they may be a good fit to have a consultation. “We really just want to pass on our knowledge,” Beamish said, “and help businesses be everything the owner wishes they could be.”

Community – Mississippi Mills is home to several entrepreneurs, start-ups and small businesses, so it is no surprise that the recent Chamber of Commerce mixer held at the Barley Mow in Almonte Oct. 16 was well attended. At the mixer, two presentations were made, both with a small-business theme. Local entrepreneur Dan Fallak and representatives from an organization called Launch Lab were in attendance, giving their thoughts on Mississippi Mills, its businesses and how to start one. The Mississippi Mills Chamber of Commerce holds mixers every month, usually in Almonte at the Barley Mow. Each month the Chamber brings in speakers to talk about things that are relevant in the community: tourism, community strengthening or small businesses. The events are structured around the presentations, with a meet and greet period before and after. At this month’s event, Fallak, a local entrepreneur, gave his thoughts about starting up a business in the community. Fallak is one of the minds behind Small Town Thinking, a local organization that runs Almontees and the popular Dine and Dash event. Fallak recently took his new business, VersaTile, to a full-time level after quitting his government job to follow his dream of being self-employed. “It was quite a big leap,” Fallak said at the mixer. “At the time, my wife was nine months pregnant with our second child and we were at kind of a pivotal moment. It was a huge decision.” Fallak spoke about starting up a small business in Mississippi Mills, saying that he has had help from many people, including Launch Lab. “At first, I thought it was Lunch Lab,” Fallak joked. “I thought we were going to gather around a table and eat.” In reality, Launch Lab is a Kingstonbased company, which has expanded into areas like Mississippi Mills. The organization features a group of entrepreneurs or business people who aim to help start-up businesses flourish through coaching. “We have kind of a ‘been there, done that,” mantra,” said Stephen Beamish, who works with the company. “We want to help small businesses be the best that they can be.” Beamish explained that Launch Lab

First draft of Carleton Place budget presented By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – It’s budget time again for Carleton Place council. During the corporate services committee meeting last Tuesday, Oct. 15, treasurer Phil Hogan presented the first version of the 2014 municipal budget. The draft financial document was prepared with the premise outlined by council in motion No. 9-124-06 (carried May 14, 2013) that departments freeze tax dollar spending in light of what is expected with policing costs and Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) backing. Municipalities contracting Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)
services can expect to pay an additional 8.55 per cent in salary increases in 2014. Over and above, the town will be losing an estimated $110,000 in provincial backing by way of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund. “When we get into the budget, what we are going to find this year, the biggest issues are really issues the province has put on the municipality,” said Hogan. “The three major issues are policing, daycare and the loss of the OMPF.” The daycare issue comes about primarily because of full-day kindergarten. “The daycare lost its largest customer,” said Hogan. “The revenue stream from our junior and senior kindergarten program was
around $700,000. Our cost to administer, watch those children was about $500,000. Therefore, we have lost somewhere in the quarter million dollar range.” The treasurer noted that the municipality must come up with a plan to sustain over a period of time. At first glance, the 2014 budget requirement (shortfall) is $184,000, which would be a 2.27 per cent increase. “One point to keep in mind, if there is any weakness, the transportation budget should have probably grown by about $75,000,” said Hogan, “and we are holding it at no increase.” “Just so we are clear on this, we are cutting back on contributing to our infrastructure,” said Coun.
Louis Antonakos. “We agreed to increase it by $75,000 a year to get it to where it should be. This was part of our 10-year plan.” “We are freezing it,” said Hogan. The first draft of the proposed budget was discussed again during the Oct. 22 policy review committee meeting.

Bronze medal for Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jacob Sosna Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carleton Place Canoe Club would like to proudly congratulate our very own Jacob Sosna on his bronze medal performance at the Pan American Championships this past weekend in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Jacob and his K2 partner Austin Denman had a very successful season, including a fifth place finish at the U23 World Championships back in August, and topped it all off with a third place finish in the Senior Men K2 200 metre (m) event in Puerto Rico. Their bronze medal time of 33.10
wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far off from the first place Brazilian team (32.70) or the second place team from Ecuador (33.02). Jacob and Austin were also some of the younger athletes competing in this senior event, so look for more great results to come from Jacob over the next number of years. On another note, registration for our winter programs is now open and can be accessed through our website (www.cpcanoeclub.com). Submitted by the Carleton Place Canoe Club.

Wireless service could be improved in Mississippi Mills soon, after Committee of the Whole passed a motion recommending that council support a location for a new Bell Mobility telecommunications tower on March Road. Bell recently completed an analysis and identified gaps in service west of Ottawa, particularly in Mississippi Mills. They determined three locations for a new tower along March Road, and decided that putting a tower at 4609 March Road would be the best option. The tower will be constructed in the near future.

Mississippi Mills kicks off cultural plan process with recent launch kkent@perfprint.ca
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With its festivals, heritage buildings and artsy vibe, the Town of Mississippi Mills is culturally rich already â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with the new cultural plan in the works, things can only get better. The Mississippi Mills Cultural Plan process kicked off with a launch event Thursday, Oct. 17 at Almonte Old Town Hall. The event began the second stage of the initiative: the planning phase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is the time when we gather input from the public and begin to form a plan for culture
in Mississippi Mills for the long term,â&#x20AC;? said Greg Baeker of Millier Dickison Blais Inc., the firm spearheading the project. The cultural plan will create guidelines and goals for the community in terms of cultural resources. So far, stage one, the mapping phase, has been completed. The mapping phase involved creating a database of all existing cultural resources in Mississippi Mills: festivals, groups, organizations, occupations, facilities, assets and more. Baeker and his team worked with the town to develop this inventory list in 2012,
identifying more than 283 cultural assets in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mississippi Mills already has a vast variety of cultural aspects in its community,â&#x20AC;? Baeker said at the launch event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on now is a way to further improve and maintain that.â&#x20AC;? More than 30 locals and members of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff attended the event, bringing their ideas and input with them. To get the creative juices flowing, Baeker gave a few examples of similar towns that have already implemented a cultural plan. Prince Edward County has created an arts
trail, a cultural roundtable and an annual cultural rally; while Orillia has named its town a heritage conservation district and has created a festival called Streets Alive, where the community celebrates local art. In order to gather some ideas from the public, the people in attendance were asked to answer four questions with the people at their table. The first task was to identify, as a group, five key words that best described a vision for a culturally rich community. After much brainstorming words such as welcoming, progressive, traditional, edgy, R0012369744

accessible, entertaining and heritage were put forward. One attendee suggested that Mississippi Mills was like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultural tossed saladâ&#x20AC;? with a little bit of everything. The second task was to think of some ideas or strategies to advance the vision created with the first task. Groups came up with ideas which included creating a cultural mixer, like the monthly Chamber of Commerce mixer, or a cultural tradeshow. Others suggested naming the old town hall the cultural hub of Mississippi Mills or simply just encouraging collaboration, conserving and preserving

heritage and engaging all ages of community members. Overall, the launch event provided many ideas and direction from community members on what they would like to see culturally in Mississippi Mills over the years. The planning phase will continue on over the next few months, working with the town and the public to create a plan that encompasses the uniqueness of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re developing a shared framework for action in the community,â&#x20AC;? Baeker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll create a plan that will designate Mississippi Mills as a cultural destination.â&#x20AC;?

Halloween Howl costume dance party By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
Community – Guests and ghouls are invited to gather for a Halloween Howl at the Carleton Place Army Navy & Air Force Club on Saturday night. People First of Lanark County (PFoLC) is hosting the fundraising costume dance party on Oct. 26, from 7 to 11 p.m. “It’s going to be a great dance,” said PFoLC president Manon Lépine, “and everyone is welcome.” “Come out and meet nice people and help support our organization,” she continued. An advocacy group, PFoLC works exceedingly hard on behalf of all people with disabilities. The organization strives to promote dignity, respect, community inclusion and self-determination. Disc jockey and PFoLC sup-
porter Mike Lunn will have the music pumping and guests grooving on the dance floor. Games, prizes, light refreshments and a 50/50 draw round out the festivities. The Army Navy & Air Force Club bar will be open. “Costume prizes will be handed out in the best dressed and scariest categories,” said Lépine. “However, it’s not necessary for people to wear a costume.” Tickets are $7 each, available at the door. Throughout the year, People First of Lanark County (PFoLC) hosts several fundraisers. Proceeds are used to help raise awareness and educate people about the organization, as well as provide support for the its dayto-day operations and many community events. PFoLC does not receive financial support from the provincial or federal governments.
The dance is a great way to usher in Halloween, which is on Oct. 31. “Saturday is also the Maskeraid Halloween Parade in town,” said Lépine. “Come on down to the Army Navy & Air Force Club afterwards.” The Army Navy & Air Force Club is located at 315 Townline Rd. E. The club was the recipient of PFoLC’s 2013 President’s Award in July, recognized for its continuing commitment to the advocacy group. Over the previous seven years, the Army Navy & Air Force Club has offered (free of charge) the full use of its premises to PFoLC for special events. “We couldn’t do this without their support,” said Lépine. For more information about the Halloween Howl or PFoLC, call 613-257-7111. Come if you dare!
A night of scary local storytelling in Carleton Place By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
Community – Who doesn’t love a good ghost story, especially around this time of year? The Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society presents a Haunted Heritage next Wednesday, Oct. 30. The event takes place at Brush Strokes, located at 129 Bridge St., and begins at 7 p.m. Talking about their ghostly experiences in town, speakers include Mary Cook, Lyle Dillabough and Linda Seccaspina. Known as “the Queen of Carleton Place,” Cook is a legendary writer and storyteller. She is featured weekly in the
Canadian Gazette. Dillabough is the Ottawa Valley troubadour – a name given to him in 2001 by Tom Van Dusen of the Ottawa Sun. He has an extremely versatile background: singer/songwriter, producer, promoter, writer, broadcaster and humanitarian. Secaspina’s family owns Carleton Place’s Greystone Hotel, one of the top 100 haunted locations in the country. Built in 1872, the hotel is home to no less than four spirits. She is a published author. Admission to a Haunted Heritage is $5 per person. Space is limited! Snacks will be provided. And if the ghost stories don’t
raise goose bumps and inspire nightmares, Oct. 30, the night before Halloween, is often referred to as Devil’s Night or Hell Night. Proceeds from the event benefit the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society, a nonprofit organization and affiliate member of the Ontario Historical Society. The society researches, retains, preserves and presents historical information relevant to the region. For additional information about a Haunted Heritage or the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society, contact 613253-7013. Come and bring a friend! (and a ghost story!)

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospital Redevelopment WHAT IS THE TIMELINE OF THE PREFERRED OPTION?
Nine possible options have been considered with four of those selected for preliminary design and costing. These four included renovation plus new construction on the current site as well as building on a “greenfield” site. The analyses of the options involving the current site noted major barriers to the use of the existing building for anything other than non-acute care services. Even then the renovation costs for administration use only would approach $20 million in $2017 and would entail the loss of the helipad, limited parking and no potential for future expansion. The “greenfield” option avoided these limitations and was also less expensive.
As part of the Stage 1 Proposal, we have identified a preliminary timeline that would see a shovel in the ground by 2017 and costs have been inflated to that point in time. However, this timeline will remain an estimate until Ministry approval to move forward is granted. Once that has been accomplished, the timeline will be re-evaluated and adjusted as necessary.

endorsed the proposal and the Ministry has advised us that they have all the information required for submission of the proposal to the provincial Treasury Board for approval to proceed to the next stage of planning. The Treasury Board reviews all such proposals every fall for entry into the infrastructure plan called “Building Ontario”. As of the date of this release, the Treasury Board has not made its 2013 decision on the approval of Health projects. If the required approval is not obtained this year either the current proposal or a modification of it will be presented again in 2014. The Hospital Board, the Redevelopment Committee and community stakeholders will continue to work with the Champlain LHIN and the MOHLTC until we achieve approval for a new hospital that meets the long term needs of our region.
WHO COVERS THE REDEVELOPMENT COSTS OF OUR CURRENT PROPOSAL? Cost estimates reflect all expected costs including estimated construction and ancillary costs, a furnishing and equipment allowance, contingency allowances and inflation up to and including the year 2017. They also reflect the cost of demolishing the current hospital but not the residual value of the land. The hospital or local share cost is 16 million, the MOH portion; approximately 63 million. A private developer is responsible for the cost and lease arrangements for the portion of the Ambulatory Care Centre not used by the hospital." A new hospital build must meet stringent standards and codes. For example, the patient rooms will need to be mostly single rooms that will be much larger than our current shared rooms and floor to floor heights must be considerably greater than in the current building so that they can accommodate modern mechanical systems. All such requirements increase the size of a new hospital and contribute to the final cost estimate.
HOW CAN WE AFFORD THE LOCAL SHARE? The local share can be paid for in various ways, including fundraising, mortgages and public/private partnerships. Unless the preferred option is a renovation or a project that the hospital pays for independent of external support, the provincial government helps to pay for the costs, excluding the local share.
