Safe buy and sell exchange zone coming to Carleton Place BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place will soon offer a safe trade site for online buying and selling. Although details are still being finalized, the exchange zone will be located in front of the OPP detachment on Coleman Street. Director of protective services Les Reynolds told council members during the planning and protection meeting on Oct. 3 that the issue was recently brought to the attention of the police services board, a suggestion from OPP Const. Paul Ross. “He became aware of a couple of places in western Ontario where it has worked successfully,” Reynolds said. Websites such as Kijiji, eBay and Varage Sale, as well as various local Facebook groups, are being used more and more for Internet-based purchases; however, they can also be easy targets for criminal activity from online predators. “Increasingly, people are selling or trading items online, and there is always some concern about inviting someone you do not know to meet you at your house,” Reynolds said. “We are all aware of the incident a
year or two ago where a man met two guys to sell a half-ton and ended up being murdered.” On May 6, 2013, Tim Bosma left his Ancaster, Ont., home with two men to test drive the Dodge Ram 3500 diesel truck he was trying to sell. Bosma’s burned remains were found days later. “That is an extreme example,” Reynolds stated. He noted that a safe trade site for Carleton Place residents will help ensure and enhance their safety, and minimize the opportunity for an encounter to go wrong. “If you are meeting someone for an exchange ... there is help nearby if something seems off,” Reynolds added. “You can feel confident.” Coun. Sean Redmond called the safe trade site “a great idea.” “A couple of years ago, I remember reading about someone getting robbed after they met a person to sell a diamond ring,” he said. “It is becoming all too common.” “It is just a fact of life,” Reynolds said. “We are dealing more and more with people we do not know.” See SAFE page A/CP2

County council notes Lanark Lodge undergoes successful annual inspection health record reviews. Pidgeon noted the lodge’s resident quality inspection results have been significantly better than the provincial average. The public report has been posted. “The results of this inspection are a significant accomplishment for our organization and reinforce the high commitment to resident care and services,” Pidgeon said. “Each Lanark Lodge staff member contributed to the overall success of our on-site review and are to be congratulated on a highly successful annual inspection.” Satisfaction survey completed for lodge Pidgeon presented the results of the resident/family satisfaction survey for 2017 at the community services committee meeting earlier this month, which was then received by council. The anonymous survey helps the lodge to determine trends and make an action plan for improvements. Residents and families could choose to complete the survey at computer kiosk, via an electronic link sent to the family distribution list or by using a paper copy; it was completed over four weeks in June. The target rate for completion was 30 per cent and the home achieved a response rate of 31 per cent. Twenty-four per cent of re-
spondents were residents, while the rest were the power of attorney or friends of the residents. Pidgeon said there is a trend that resident acuity rates are increasing, resulting in fewer residents being able to complete it without help. Ninety-four per cent of respondents indicated they are satisfied overall with the quality of care and services in the home, which is consistent over the last few years. As well, 98 per cent said they would recommend the home to a friend. Similarly high scores were received for family members feeling welcome, cleanliness of the home, enjoyable activities, meal quality, caring and compassionate nursing staff, communication about issues, meal choices and expressing opinions without fear of consequences. Areas of lower score included satisfaction with communication in the home (89 per cent) and medical care by the physician (84 per cent). Pidgeon noted two new physicians have been recruited to support the medical director’s caseload and the lodge is also recruiting for a full-time nurse practitioner. “The remarkable
rate of satisfaction achieved in overall care and services, as well as the individual ratings in a number of specific domains, speaks to the high level of concerted effort to promote the best care and services for our elders in Lanark County,” Pidgeon said. Lanark Lodge strategic plan approved Council has approved the Lanark Lodge Strategic Plan for 2017 to 2019. As the governing body for Lanark Lodge, council is ultimately responsible for the quality and safety of services delivered by the home and plays an important role in enabling an organizational culture that enhances resident safety. The lodge completed an extensive consultation process for the strategic plan, which included an environmental scan, identification of the long-term vision and a strategy for achieving it. Consultants Bessant Pelech and associates assisted with the process that included engaging residents, families, staff, community partners, members of its governing body, physicians, volunteers and the leadership team. The home’s strategy includes the pillars

Council has received the annual Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care inspection results for Lanark Lodge. Earlier this month, director Deborah Pidgeon presented the 2017 results in a report to the community services committee. She explained inspectors have a duty to identify all non-compliances found during an inspection in their report. Instances and actions to be taken are then posted in homes, provided to residents’ and family councils, as well as published on the ministry’s website. Inspections are unannounced and random, and they include protocols on admission processes, dining, infection prevention and control practices, resident charges, quality improvement practices, residents’ council interviews and family council interviews. The unannounced visit to the lodge by two inspectors for the annual review began on July 10 for a period of six days. It consisted of a compliance review, as well as a review of three incidents from 2017. The process included structured interviews with residents, family members and staff, direct observations of how care and services are being delivered, as well as specifically targeted

Article by: Mark Oldfield Steve - a Merrickville house-painter and antipoverty activist - is organizing three pre-Christmas charity concerts that will bring top-notch talent to local venues and generate much needed resources for the less fortunate among us. Steve’s previous projects have raised nearly $2,000 in cold, hard cash and hundreds of pounds of groceries, as well. With the Hunger Tour, he is taking his community work to the next level! So who’s coming, where will they be playing, and when’s it all happening? Here’s a quick rundown: Snow Ball 2017: The fun begins Saturday, November 18th at the Merrickville Community Centre. It’s Snow Ball time, everybody! Get set for an awesome, eclectic mix of music with a rootsy, distinctly Canadian flavour. If you’re not up and dancing at this show, you don’t have a pulse. The roster includes … Maria Hawkins (a.k.a. The Blues Lady of Ottawa) — Maria reaches deep into her own experience of poverty and hardship to deliver vocals that are powerful, passionate and authentic. And it’s not just Blues the lady sings; Maria mixes it up with elements of R&B, Funk and Soul. All that, and a back-up band packed with virtuoso players driving the beat right to your feet! Anna Ludlow — Nothing makes the toes tap like a Cape Breton jig, and nobody spins one out with more joy or precision than Anna Ludlow. Her love of Celtic-inspired music comes straight from the Nova Scotia heartland where she grew up and learned to play. Get ready for a high-energy performance filled with slick riffs, sweet songs, and a little stepdancing too! Sophia Radisch — Time to rock it out, people. Sophia Radisch is an award-winning, Ottawa-based actress and musician who’s been writing and performing since she was 13. She uses a Gibson guitar and Marshall amps to produce a sound that is, at once, nostalgic and original, rough-edged and sultry. Don’t miss this chance to see one of Canada’s most exciting up-and-coming musical talents.
Mr Toad’s Happy Place
Rooms Rented Nightly
Ali McCormick — Last, but certainly not least, Ms. Ali McCormick … a singer/songwriter with her feet firmly planted in familiar soil. The “Lioness of Lanark” (so named for her thick mane of strawberry-blond hair) brings that country feeling to the night’s musical menu. Her songs are honest, earthy and beautifully crafted. What a line-up! And only $30 per person! Tickets are available at Hungertour.com, the Village Bean Coffee Shop on St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville, and at the Merrickville Book Emporium. Show time: 7:00 p.m. to midnight, with all the proceeds going to the Merrickville Food Bank. Christmas in Merrickville Concert: Music lovers who miss the Snow Ball will get a second chance to see and hear Anna Ludlow at the Merrickville United Church Food Drive, December 2nd, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The show is part of this year’s Christmas in Merrickville celebrations. Live music in a beautiful, intimate setting, streets filled with bright lights and sparkling decorations, stores packed with fabulous treats; it’s a pretty tempting package. You can buy tickets at the same locations mentioned above (or online at hungertour.com) - $20 for adults, $10 for children. That concert is event #2 on the Hunger Tour calendar. Event #3 takes place a few minutes down the road ... Smiths Fall Legion Concert: Steve Hurndell’s Hunger Tour 2017 wraps up Saturday, December 10th at the Smiths Falls Legion, featuring one of Canada’s foremost blues/rock performers - the one and only, the legendary Jack de Keyzer! Two-time Juno Award winner, and recipient of many other honors through his storied career. If you don’t know Jack, you’re in for a treat. If you’re already a fan, you definitely won’t want to miss this night. The doors open at 4:00 p.m. with an hour-long meet and greet session. Say hello to the musicians before they hit the stage. Come on out and mingle! Jack de Keyzer and his band will be sharing the spotlight with two other brilliant performers mentioned earlier - Maria Hawkins and Sophia Radisch. This, folks, will be a show to remember! Tickets are $35.00/person. That price includes the meet-and-greet PLUS a buffet dinner -chicken, pulled pork, salads and dessert. Reserve your pass at the Hungertour.com website or by contacting Steve Hurndell directly (stevenhurndell@gmail.com ... 613 809-6875). All guests are asked to bring a contribution for the Smiths Falls food bank in the form of packaged food products or baby supplies. So, there you have it: Three nights of great entertainment, all to support a most worthy cause ... Conquering Hunger at Christmas Time. In a society as rich as ours, there’s no reason why anyone should have to go to bed with an empty belly ... during the holiday season or any other time of year. All food and funds raised by the Hunger Tour will stay in the communities where they’re collected. It’s also worth mentioning here that dozens of areas businesses are throwing their support behind the Hunger Tour. They all deserve a tip of the hat. Hope to see you on the dance floor!

tool to provide regular updates to our internal and external partners on our progress.” For more information, contact Pidgeon, director of Lanark Lodge, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 7101. Funds approved for after-school program Council passed a motion approving a request to transfer $10,000 in funding previously allocated to the Smiths Falls Youth Centre, which has since closed, to ensure programming for Smiths Falls youth can continue in 2017. At the community services committee meeting earlier this month, a delegation consisting of Smiths Falls director of community services Art
Manhire, Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director Jennifer Miller and Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) executive director Jeff Kohl highlighted their collaborative efforts to deliver an after-school program for Smiths Falls and area youth. The plan is to ensure youth who were accessing services through the former youth centre have access to after-school resources, and to evaluate opportunities and needs to determine future programming. The town will offer in-kind space three nights per week for the program; YAK is providing the resources and programming; and Big Brothers Big Sisters is providing leadership, training, program oversight, administration and the hiring and management of staff.
Provincial funding through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has been confirmed. The reallocated funds will ensure programming until the end of this year and county staff will provide a report to the committee in October regarding the reallocation of the funds that were already designated for the centre in 2018. For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, county chief administrative officer, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101. Changes made to procedural bylaw Council has approved a bylaw to amend its procedural bylaw, which governs the calling, place and proceedings of meetings. The procedural bylaw underwent a comprehensive review and rewrite in
2013, but several housekeeping items have been identified. Amendments included the addition of a definition for “New/Other Business,” an update to references to the technology used during meetings, a revision to the order of committee of the whole meetings, the addition of an item indicating delegations cannot address council on policy matters that have been decided within the last 12 months unless council is reconsidering them and an adjustment to references about correspondence circulation. Council may be discussing changes to the warden nomination/election process at a future meeting. For more information, contact Leslie Drynan, clerk, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1502.

CP Holiday Train marks Canada 150 with stops throughout Lanark County With its biggest ever lineup of Canadian talent, the Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train is set to close out Canada 150 with its 19th annual tour, including visits to Merrickville, Smiths Falls and Perth on Monday, Nov. 27. The CP Holiday Train program launched in 1999 and has since raised more than C$13 million and four million pounds of food for communities along CP's routes in Canada and the United States. Beginning in Montreal on Nov. 25 and 26, respectively, two trains will make the festive journey, travelling through both the U.S. and Canada to bring holiday cheer to 182 communities along CP's network. Each event is completely free, with CP encouraging every attendee to open their cupboards or wallets to ease hunger needs in their community. Local food banks will be accepting donations at each stop to ensure those less fortunate can access adequate food this holiday season and year-round. "The Holiday Train program is all about local food banks and food shelves and the critical role they play in our communities," said Keith Creel, CP's president and chief executive officer. "People come for the beautifully-lit train and stay for the incredible show — all in the name of community. The holiday season is the best time of the year, and we look forward to bringing together thousands of Canadians and Americans this season for
this incredibly important cause and a great time." CP is also encouraging fans of the train to donate heart-healthy food, as everyone should have access to healthy, nutritious food, regardless of circumstances. This supports the mission of CP Has Heart, a program dedicated to improving the heart health of men, women and children in North America. To date, this program has raised $12 million for cardiac care and research. The 2017 edition of the Holiday Train also concludes CP's Canada 150 celebrations and the Canadian train will feature the Spirit of Tomorrow car, which was part of the Canada 150 Train this past summer. "I am delighted that Canadian Pacific will be bringing joy and holiday cheer to communities across the country with a special Canada 150 edition of their Holiday Train. What a wonderful way to bid farewell to this remarkable year, as we look to the future with hope and optimism," said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage. In line with the Canada 150 celebrations, the CP Holiday Train boasts its most stacked lineup of all-Canadian artists on tour in the program's history, including multiple Canadian Country Music Award and Juno Award winners. Musical guests Colin James and Emma-Lee will kick off the Canadian leg in Montreal on Nov. 26, perform-
ing through to Calgary. Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Band will take over in Calgary and continue the journey to Port Moody, B.C. The U.S. leg will feature Jim Cuddy, Devin Cuddy and Kelly Prescott from the kickoff in Montreal on Nov. 25, through the Northeastern U.S. to Windsor. Terri Clark and Dallas Smith will then hop on board with Kelly Prescott to complete the trip from Chicago to Brooks, while A.B. Jonathan Roy will give a Francophone performance at all stops in Quebec. Locally, the CP Holiday Train will be in Merrickville from 5 to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 27 at the southside of the crossing near Bay Street (103 East Broadway and County Road 2) for a performance by Colin James and Emma-Lee. The train then travels to the Smiths Falls Train Station (63 Victoria St.) for a show from 6:30 to 7 p.m., before wrapping up in Perth at the rail yard near the junction of Herriott Street and Sherbrooke Street East from 8 to 8:30 p.m. A full schedule of stops is available at www.cpr.ca/holiday-train. People visiting the Holiday Train are encouraged to take photos and enter CP's Capture the Spirit photo contest. Participants could win a trip aboard the 2018 CP Holiday Train as well as a $1,000 donation to their local food bank. Further details about the contest will be available closer to the start of the program on the Holiday Train Facebook page at facebook.

OPP start to zone in
I
t's been a few months since Smiths Falls Police Service designated a space in its parking lot for the safe exchange of money and goods involving online business transactions. The concept did not originate in the town, but Smiths Falls was the first law enforcement agency in our coverage area to initiate such a program. The OPP in Carleton Place designated a similar space in its parking lot just this month. With video surveillance, it makes the safe Internet transaction zone concept a more viable option. We see that the Ontario Provincial Police are now getting in on the action with the launch this past week of Project Safe Trade. "Creating a community safe zone is about moving the final transactions away from secluded parking lots, personal residences or other areas and taking them to a public place," an OPP release states.
Residents of rural and small-town areas served by provincial police have just as much of a need for this type of service as those in communities in which municipal police are in place. We understand there are logistical issues that might make it more of a challenge to offer a designated space at detachments that are only open to the public during weekday office hours. We also recognize that it could be some time before there is a Project Safe Trade sign erected in detachment lots in other communities in the region. In the absence of such a police-provided space meant specifically for goods and money to change hands, here are a few tips from the OPP on making it safer to conduct online transactions in person: meet in a busy public place; bring a trusted friend or family member along as a witness; meet in daylight hours; and do not erase emails, texts and voice mails with the buyer or seller.

other said it was just because I was excited. Emerson said I wasn’t called ‘nervous Nellie’ for nothing. Halloween had rolled around, and I was in a state. I wanted to go as a princess, but my chances of coming up with an elaborate costume such as a princess would wear, were pretty slim. The talk at the Northcote School was that bad Marguirite had a store bought costume, and was having her hair done at Ducharme’s Beauty Parlour. She hinted she even had silver shoes and something with real diamonds in it for her hair. And here I was, destined to wear whatever Mother could throw together from the clothes already being worn to school,

big for her. She tied a silk scarf around the waist, and vanished into Mother and Father’s bedroom where Mother kept what little makeup she wore. Audrey came out looking like she belonged in one of those side-shows from the Renfrew Fair, where children weren’t allowed, and any husband worth his salt ignored. I thought she was gorgeous. It didn’t take long for the boys from the Barr Side road to spot her, and I was amazed at the change in my sister, all because of a silk dress that come in the hand-me-down box from Regina! There was Marguirite, with her store-bought costume, the silver shoes she raved about, and her hair done up high on her head, but I couldn’t see anything that looked like a diamond anywhere. There were games, bobbing for apples, musical chairs, and fiddle music, and the school heated up like a night in July all because of the many bodies crammed into the one room. Finally, the United Church Minister clapped his hands together, quieting everyone down, and said he had chosen a winner. Marguirite got out of her chair, ready to bolt up to the front of the room for the prize, so sure was she her name would be called. The minister made a long speech, just as if he were preaching a sermon, and then announced that Audrey Haneman was the winner! Everyone clapped, Audrey turned bright red, Marguirite started to cry, and I was so happy I almost wet my pants. Thank goodness there was no school the next day, because as hard as she scrubbed, Audrey wasn’t able to get rid of all the makeup. I thought she should leave it on for church. Mother thought differently. Emerson said the prize Audrey got wasn’t worth the effort she went to. I thought it was wonderful! It was a bag of maple leaf cookies from Briscoe’s General Store!

Greenwich exhibits recall lost Franklin expedition in May 1845 In May 1845, two Royal Navy ships commanded by Capt. Sir John Franklin left England on an expedition to the Canadian Arctic. The plan was to locate and navigate the final section of the elusive Northwest Passage. Two years later, they had not returned. It took searchers more than 10 years to confirm what most people in England feared. Franklin and the other 128 men in the expedition were dead and their ships were lost. Despite numerous searches, exactly how and why the men met such a tragic end remains a mystery to this day. In 2008, a new search for Franklin’s vessels was begun, led by Parks Canada staff and funded by a number of public and private partners. Several teams focused on surveying the coastline of King William Island and the Adelaide Peninsula in what is now the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Included in the search area were the places where, over the years, Inuit residents of the region told searchers that Franklin’s ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, had sunk. It took parts of seven years, but on Sept. 2, 2014, Parks Canada staff — who were doing a sonar search in Wilmot and Crampton Bay — discovered a shipwreck near a small island. It proved to

be HMS Erebus. Then, almost two years to the day after the discovery of Erebus, her sister ship HMS Terror was discovered in what is called Terror Bay, off the southern coast of King William Island. The pinpointing of Terror is attributed in part to information provided by Sammy Kosvik, an Inuit from Gjoa Haven, the only settlement on the island. Because the wreck of Terror lies in deeper water, she is better preserved than Erebus, Parks Canada says. On July 14 of this year, an exhibition dedicated to the lost Franklin expedition opened at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England, a suburb of London. On Sept. 15, during our visit to the British capital, my son Craig and I toured the exhibition, which currently shares space with so many other displays from Britain’s proud and storied maritime past. The exhibition, entitled Death in
the Ice: The Shocking Story of Franklin’s Final Expedition, is a collaborative effort of the Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization) located in the Hull Sector of Gatineau, Que., and the National Maritime Museum, in partnership with the Government of Nunavut, Parks Canada and the Inuit Heritage Trust. The exhibition will continue in Greenwich until Jan. 7, 2018. The Canadian Museum of History will then host the touring displays from March 2 until Sept. 20, 2018. Next year and beyond, other museums in Canada and the U.S. will be part of the tour. There was an interesting development in this story on Monday of this week. The British government announced that it will not contest ownership of the two vessels. Instead they have turned the wrecks over to the Canadian government. Erebus and Terror will be managed by Parks Canada in partnership with the government of Nunavut. The Greenwich displays feature 38 items recovered from the wreck of HMS Erebus, including the ship’s bell and pieces of officers’ uniforms. Recovery work continues at the Erebus site. As of this writing, no artifacts have been raised from the recently dis-
covered Terror wreck, which lies under heavy pack ice. The Canadian government spent millions of dollars searching for the vessels, recovering and restoring artifacts from Erebus, as well as funding the current exhibition in Greenwich, London. Craig and I were intrigued by our visit to the Death in the Ice exhibits. There are 68 items in all, some of which were discovered during the many searches organized in an effort to find the missing men. More than 30 expeditions organized or supported by the Royal Navy, the Hudson’s Bay Company and private sponsors sailed, steamed or sledged into the Arctic beginning in spring 1848. Alarm about the expedition’s fate was raised by Lady Franklin and others. The men had provisions for three years, but their explorations were expected to be finished much sooner. Also included in the displays are original plans for Erebus and Terror, which were instrumental in helping identify the sunken vessels. Inuit culture is prominently highlighted, and among the many illustrations featured are paintings and drawings by well-known artists during the period when the lost expedition capti-
vated the British public. It was poignant to see the exhibits first-hand, knowing some of the items belonged to men who perished while trying to chart territory in our own country. I think it’s fitting the exhibition opened in England, the homeland of the explorers. Franklin himself was widely admired for his previous exploits. But, he was accompanied by 128 others on his fourth and ultimately fatal trip to the unforgiving Canadian Arctic. The Greenwich museum, which is a wonderful facility to explore at any time (this was my second time there) has paid tribute to the lost crew by planting flags for all 129. The banners will stand in front of the museum throughout the exhibition. What is known about the ill-fated expedition is that by mid-September 1846, the two ships had become trapped in ice off King William Island. In spring 1847, a party from the vessels travelled over the ice to Point Victory on shore, where they deposited a written record of their progress. It is thought they reached Cape Herschel on the south coast of the island, thus filling in the unexplored part of the Northwest Passage. Franklin himself died in June 1847. See MAGUIRE page 11

Other crew members had died previously of various causes. Still trapped in the ice, Erebus and Terror drifted south until Capt. Francis Crozier — captain of Terror and second-in-command of the expedition — ordered the ships abandoned in April 1848. Weakened by starvation and scurvy, the remaining 105 men headed south for the Great Fish River. Most died in the march along the west coast of King William Island. Inuit accounts of the expedition’s fate, discounted by western searchers for more than a century, were instrumental in finally locating the sunken ships. Many questions remain about the lost Franklin expedition, some of which will never be answered. But, through the efforts of two countries and everyone involved, more light is being shed on a mystery which has captivated people on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 170 years.

I still remember the first time I met Alberta singer-songwriter John Wort Hannam — way back in October 2006, when he quietly strode his lanky self into our home, still not quite sure of himself, having quit his teaching job in 2002 to pursue playing his own music full time ... a daunting pursuit for anyone. He satisfied our audience that night, recognized by the large CD sales and applause. Since then, many accolades recognizing the quality of his craftsmanship have come his way, as he’s expanded his world to become a recognized, accomplished international troubadour. He’ll bring his musical gifts to The Listening Room Series on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at The Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). Born in Jersey, Channel Islands, and raised in Alberta, he won the prestigious New Folk Song Competition in Kerrville, Texas, in 2007. He also went on to receive the 2010 Contemporary Canadian Folk Music Award and several Calgary Folk Music Awards, along with multiple nominations for Junos, North American Folk Alliance and other Canadian Folk Music Awards. People compare his songwriting style to Tom Russell. His six albums in 13 years — with memorable highlights performing at the Kennedy Center, Smithsonian and Trafalgar Square, as well as collaborating with the Calgary Symphony Orchestra — gives you a hint of how well he’s appreciated. He’s got an eye for the quirky, sometimes a hint of humour, all the while viewed through his humanitarian eyes as he captures and portrays unique stories throughout Canada. He’ll be backed by the fine Scott Duncan on fiddle.

Distraction isn’t always our phone addiction; sometimes it can be the vehicle “Hi Brian, The service booklet for my 2016 Mercedes E400 calls for the brake fluid to be changed every 24 months. I have just had this done; however, prior to the service I requested that long-life fluid be used. This request was denied, the explanation given was that the existing brake fluid is to better handle heat from the brakes, but absorbs moisture thus the frequent replacement. This auto has a 3.0 L twin turboengine with 329 hp, so it is likely that Mercedes thought it would be driven aggressively, however this is not the case as we are conservative drivers and considered seniors. This insistence to continue to follow the book seems like a $200 money grab every 24 months. Thoughts?” B Thanks for the questions. I agree that with conservative driving, you're not likely to need the aggressive driving protection that the regular brake fluid will bring. However, even with the long-life fluid, the requirement set out by Mercedes still calls for changing it every 24 months. So the question is; what's your risk aversion level? If the fluid isn't changed as per Mercedes' schedule and you have a warranty defect related to any part of the braking system, Mercedes could deny coverage. If you're not a fan of the fee charged to change the fluid, you

won't want to know what repairing the brake system will cost. The AAA (American Automobile Association) Foundation for Traffic Safety recently released an eyeopening report on driving distractions and no it wasn’t related to our addiction to our phones, but instead the distractions supplied by the vehicles themselves. This foundation took 30 different 2017 model year vehicles and 24 drivers and had them perform a series of tasks while driving at a leisurely 25 mph. None of the tasks were related to the act of driving but rather numerous interactions with infotainment systems such as setting a navigation destination, changing a radio station, or completing a phone call or text using the vehicle interface. The driving participants were given ample time to familiarize themselves with the vehicle controls and the road’s test-path before starting the experiments. The demand that each of these functions placed on drivers was calculated in terms of visual and cognitive and the authors concluded
that most drivers thought it was safe to complete certain jobs while the vehicle was moving because those functions weren’t locked out by the carmaker and the opposite often proved to be the case, especially with navigation systems. Often tasks required the driver’s eyes to be taken off the road for an unsafe amount of time. The majority of the autos tests required high demand of the driver’s attention to complete tasks that had absolutely nothing to do with driving the auto. The top three in terms of high overall attention demand were the Honda

November is
DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH Every November, Diabetes Canada (formerly known as the Canadian Diabetes Association) launches a month-long awareness campaign to shed light on the growing diabetes epidemic affecting the country. Diabetes Awareness Month is an opportunity to educate those at risk and help existing diabetics live the healthiest life possible. Diabetes or prediabetes affects an estimated 11 million Canadians, many of whom are unaware of their condition. However, it’s important to know the warning signs to stop diabetes in its tracks and prevent related health complications like heart disease and eye damage. WHAT IS PREDIABETES? Prediabetes refers to a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to receive a positive diabetes diagnosis. According to Diabetes Canada, nearly 50 per cent of Canadians with prediabetes go on to develop Type 2 diabetes.
WARNING SIGNS Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight change, extreme fatigue or sluggishness, blurred vision — if you experience any of these symptoms, you may be at risk of developing diabetes. However, it’s important to note that you can alter your future for the better if you pay attention to warning signs and seek appropriate medical help. PREVENTION Research shows that if you take the necessary steps to manage your blood glucose levels, you can successfully delay or prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes. Simple lifestyle changes like increasing your physical activity, eating wholesome foods and losing weight can make a world of difference. This November, join the movement to end the epidemic. Visit www.diabetes.ca to find out how you can influence positive change for the future of diabetes in Canada.

IODE to host annual Christmas craft Land Trust’s Go Wild Gala set for Nov. 11 show Oct. 28 in Carleton Place Looking through our own china cabinets, we no doubt can find the odd cup and saucer, or tea plate, harbouring a chip or two, but we tuck it away, reluctant to part with something that may have a link to our past. If you are Mary Donevan from Gananoque, there isn't a piece of china that can't be given a new life, and she has 160 years worth of odd pieces she lovingly turns into exquisite necklaces, bracelets, tie clips, earrings and pins. She is a fifth generation Donevan of Donevan's Hardware in Gananoque, and when she became part of the store's operation, she found in the attic hundreds of pieces of china, many of them as old as the store itself, all unsalable because of a chip, a missing handle or some other flaw. Her great-grandfather, unwilling to part with anything, simply tucked these pieces of broken china in the attic, where they were discovered by Mary decades later. Now they are being turned into beautiful pieces of jewelry, every piece different. She
uses the same old-fashioned glass cutting tools her grandfather used. Mary Donevan is one of more than 40 other artisans who will have displays at the Captain Hooper Chapter IODE's 18th annual Craft Fair being held in the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena on Saturday, Oct. 28. As well as Mary's glass jewelry, there will be crafts of every description, including hand-knitting, Christmas decorations, homemade jams and jellies, soup base ingredients, carvings, homemade chocolates and a unique selection of shortbreads, just to name a few of the displays. This year the IODE returns to serving its homemade hot lunches, which include soups, sandwiches and a wide array of desserts. The fair opens at 10 a.m. and runs to 3 p.m. There is an elevator at the arena to take those who find stairs a challenge to the second level. As usual, there are many door prizes donated by the crafters. Submitted by the IODE

Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy hands out inaugural recognition
The Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy is pleased to announce the recipients of the Rideau Corridor Recognition Awards. On Oct. 6 at The Station Theatre, Smiths Falls, the award winners were recognized for their hard work to help protect, enhance, promote and celebrate the heritage value and sustainability of the Rideau Canal corridor. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Rideau Canal’s inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy presented the Rideau Corridor Recognition Awards Program. The goal of the awards program is to recognize, honour and promote good design, environmental stewardship and economic development, through public and youth engagement, that serves to protect, enhance, promote and celebrate the heritage value and sustainability of the Rideau Canal corridor. Community Building Honourable mention: Rebecca Whitman – Foley Mountain Conservation Area Rebecca’s pride in the Rideau corridor shines through her work as supervisor at the Foley Mountain Conservation Area. She is a passionate advocate for the protection of the natural environment and believes that education of the next generation is key to sustaining the local ecosystem to benefit humans, flora and fauna. Since 2008, she has led the youth environmental education program for more than 5,000 annual participants, combining modern technology with traditional outdoor activities to improve environmental awareness, and highlight the importance of responsible stewardship and conservation of the local environment. Merit: Seeley’s Bay and Area Residents’ Association – Steps Up Program This community-driven, multi-faceted revitalization project, launched in 2010, celebrates, protects and promotes this heritage community in its unique location within two UNESCO designated sites - the Rideau Canal and the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve. Through components such as eco-friendly, affordable outdoor recreational activities, community branding and promotion, the enhancement of village nodes, such as Haskin’s Point and the Red Chairs program, and community festivals such as the Smalls Hall Festival and Red Canoefest, the Steps Up Program celebrates and promotes this charming village on the Rideau Canal. Merit: Friends of Foley Mountain The Friends of Foley Mountain is a community-based group of volunteers who has provided support to the Foley Mountain Conservation Area for more than 20 years. Since 2007, the group has raised more than $100,000 to develop a universally-accessible trail, install solar panels, and purchase educational material for the outdoor environmental youth education program. Through their volunteer efforts in the visitors centre, at festivals, and through their newsletters and newspaper ar-
ticles, the Friends help raise awareness and knowledge about environmental protection in this conservation area. Excellence: Scott Cameron – Rideau Ferry community champion Cameron is central to all of the projects and events that have put the hamlet of Rideau Ferry on the map and in the news over the last 10 years, including the revitalization of the Rideau Ferry Vintage Race Boat Regatta, the 2015 and 2017 Rock the Docks music festival, and the development of the new Rideau Ferry public docks and community space. He has earned the moniker ‘Mr. Rideau Ferry’ for his tireless work and advocacy for his community that has made it a go-to destination on the Rideau Canal. Environmental Stewardship Honourable Mention: Murphy’s Point Provincial Park and the Friends of Murphy’s Point Park – Adopt a Gray Ratsnake Program For 10 years, the Adopt a Ratsnake program has presented demonstrations of captive ratsnakes to foster understanding of the snakes, provided updates to adopters who help fund tracking chips in snakes, and funded two years of radiotelemetry to locate critical habitat. This important work helps to conserve this Species at Risk and its critical habitat, educates the public about the unique landscape comprising southern boreal and temporal forest, and promotes the sustainability of the canal corridor by protecting a unique ecosystem within it and the diversity of wildlife which calls it home. Merit: Friends of Foley Mountain The Friends have been supporting environmental protection and awareness of the Foley Mountain Conservation Area since 1996. These volunteers supported the development of the Silversides Outdoor Learning Centre and the installation of a solar energy system; support the outdoor environmental youth education program to help students understand the natural environment and their relationship with it; work in the visitors centre and at festivals; and raise awareness and knowledge about environmental protection through their newsletters and newspaper articles. Excellence: Perth Wildlife Reserve The Perth Wildlife Reserve is a model for how the environment and heritage of the Rideau Corridor (Tay Canal) may be enhanced through a range of creative and quality protection and awareness-building activities, as the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and community volunteers carry out at this site. The Reserve helps protect the Tay Marsh Provincially Significant Wetland and Jebbs Creek wetland, and engages visitors with its Butterfly Garden and Trail, bird-watching tours, the Tay Marsh Lookout, interpretive panels on natural and cultural heritage, and protected areas to support species at risk. Category: Design Merit: Seeley’s Bay and Area Residents’ Association – Steps Up Program The community revitalization project emphasizes the authentic waterside
village experience, as shown in its branding and new entrance signage, and the Haskin’s Point swimming hole, based on historic photos and designed to integrate with the rocky shoreline. The new park furniture and associated structures provide a cohesive village palette, while enhanced landscaping with native plant species and a shoreline renaturalization demonstration highlight the importance of the natural environment. Excellence: Township of Drummond North/Elmsley – Rideau Ferry Public Docks The creation of new public docks in the village of Rideau Ferry was a collaborative project that transformed an unused area of land into an integral public space for residents and tourists alike, featuring 180ft of dock space, a gazebo, public washrooms and the adaptive reuse of the original bridge deck as a new picnic area. The compact, high quality design complements and integrates with the waterfront residential and tourist commercial village core and is a destination for community events and celebrations. Category: Heritage Conservation and Promotion Merit: Heritage Conservation – Friends of Andrewsville Bridge The Friends of Andrewsville Bridge have been a strong steward of the conservation of the Andrewsville Bridge, promoting it
as a heritage and aesthetically pleasing Rideau Canal crossing. The group began as a community effort based on the desire of the members to protect this heritage asset in their community. This single lane truss bridge continues to transport residents and visitors across the Rideau Canal. An interpretive plaque recognizes the bridge as part of the local history. Merit: Heritage Promotion – Dr. Laura Murray – Inner Harbour Kingston Dr. Murray’s work tells the story of the southern stretch of the Rideau Canal system, bringing the Inner Harbour’s dynamic past to light. Her tours, based on extensive research and oral histories, are inspiring, increasing public awareness of why the Inner Harbour is important, and offering a chance to appreciate the human activity that occurred in the area and to understand the Cataraqui River’s cultural heritage. Excellence: Murphy’s Point Provincial Park and the Friends of Murphy’s Point Park – Silver Queen Mine Interpretation Program There is no other living history presentation of the industrial mining history associated with the Rideau Canal besides the tours of the Silver Queen Mine. This fascinating program enhances the understanding of mining history along the Rideau Canal and its role in shipping to England and the
United States, through the conservation of important cultural heritage features, costumed interpretation, theatrical spirit walks, and special events. Economic Development Excellence: Seeley’s Bay and Area Residents’ Association – Steps Up Program This multi-faceted revitalization plan is intended to help sustain and support local businesses, and to improve the overall quality of life for all area residents, both seasonal and full-time.

'An Evening of One Act Plays' a tantalizing preview of EODL Festival Each year in early November, the Eastern Ontario Drama League (EODL) invites community theatre groups from across our region to enter their best one-act plays in a competition called the EODL One Act Play Festival. Area theatre groups spend months honing their best one acts, performing them at their hometown theatres in preparation for this prestigious competition. Also each year, near the end of October, Perth's own Studio Theatre presents An Evening of One Act Plays, featuring two or more short but very entertaining one-act comedies or dramas. Coincidence? We think not. The Studio Theatre's An Evening of One Act Plays, premièring Thursday Oct. 26, is very much a proving ground for the theatre's entry in the Eastern Ontario Drama League One Act Play Festival. As such, it's a double thrill for local audiences: theatre goers enjoy two engaging plays in a single evening, while helping to prepare the Studio Theatre's veteran actors for festival competition the following week. This year's presentation of An Evening of One Act Plays features two very different but equally entertaining one-acts. The first is Hamlette, Alison Williams' comic parody of Shakespeare's masterpiece that asks the question: What if Hamlet was a woman instead of a man? Hamlette is seriously funny, with Elizabethan costumes and swords, yes, but also flashlights, whistles and rubber chickens. The Bard is no doubt rolling over (with laughter) in his grave. Laurie Reesor directs the fun, and actors Annie West, Lucas Tennant, Janet Rice, Annette Cole (Huton), and Barb Guthrie star. Hamlette
liantly amusing. Director Jane Stott helms this finely honed tribute to the conjuring powers of theatre. Note that following the Friday, Oct. 27 performance of An Evening of One Act Plays the house lights will come up and the casts and directors of both Hamlette and Virtual Reality will come out on stage to chat with the audience about their plays. An Evening of One Act Plays premières at the Studio Theatre in Perth for four shows only, Oct. 26, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are just $15 at the Book Nook (cash only) 60 Gore St. E., (613-2672350), and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., (613Photo courtesy Bruce Raby
Something’s funny in the state of Denmark: Lucas Tennant and Annie West are two of the stars of the Shakespearian spoof Hamlette, the first play of An Evening of One Act plays, and the Studio Theatre’s entry in the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s One Act Play Festival is the Studio Theatre's entry in the EODL OneAct Play Festival, hosted this year by Rural Root Theatre in Constance Bay Nov. 3 and 4. The second short play of the evening is Virtual Reality by legendary actor/playwright Alan Arkin. You've never seen anything quite like this quirky one-act gem — no set, no props, just two award-winning actors (Joanna McAuley Treffers and Lucas Tennant) who bring an inventory of objects to life right before your mind's eye. It's different, it's mesmerizing, and it's brilon

nark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) will be there — drop by and visit us at booth No. 312. We are raffling off a beautiful quilt donated by an anonymous LAWS supporter — thank you! The quilt can be seen at the shelter or online on our website and Facebook page. Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5, draw to be held Nov. 30. Tickets are available at events, at the shelter or online via secure EMT — details on our website. Kitten season continues — we still have lots of kittens in-shelter and others out on foster. Some kittens are well provided-for by their moms, others have no mom or the mom is malnourished herself and unable to provide enough nutrition. These babies need supplemental feeding and we are using a lot of kitten formula. Our wish list this week therefore includes kitten formula — KMR (Kitten Milk Replacement) powder, available at pet stores and online.
Volunteers needed LAWS depends on the generous help of volunteers who give of their time both in-shelter and offsite. There are many different volunteer opportunities to choose from. At present our most urgent need is for "cat assistants" — one three-hour shift per week, either 8 to 11 a.m. or 1 to 4 p.m. Our web page has much more information about volunteering at LAWS, so if you are interested in joining the team, please check it out or drop by the shelter and see for yourself.
Featured pets This week we feature three young moms and their kids who all came to LAWS this month: Mom-cats Jessie and Jose arrived at the shelter with five kittens between them, one boy and four girls. And they are all ginger! The moms are about 18 months old, both sweet, affectionate and cuddly. The kittens are five
Wish list KMR powder, Friskies Pate canned cat food, bleach, liquid laundry detergent. The annual general meeting was held last weekend and the board was acclaimed. We wish to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the discussions — without your support LAWS would not be able to continue to function.

months old, active, playful and full of energy. The little boy, Jeremiah, has already been adopted and the girls, Jade, Jaffa, Jenny and Jordan, want homes of their own now too. Karyn is two years old, a gorgeous dilute calico lady, refined and elegant to look at, gentle and cuddly to hold. Her son Kevyn is six months old, mostly white with orange ears and tail. He is very calm and laid back for a kitten so young but is as playful as the rest when he feels like it.

lyle Raymond September 21, 1935October 21, 2017
Lyle Raymond was born September 21, 1935 to John Colborn Belway and the former Ena May McMillan of Dundas County at Johnstown on #2 highway. John and Ena rented a farm there while John worked on Port of Johnstown grain silos. They returned to the Belway farm on Jennings road North of Spruit Road to live in the large Boyd block house, replacement for the frame house burned at the time of the Orange Parade in Winchester. In 1948, the family moved to highway # 43 as Hydro was available. Lyall and Pat Holmes bought that farm on John and Ena’s retirement to the corner of Dawley Drive & Main Street West. Lyle attended Mulloy School, Mountain Consolidated, Winchester High School and Merv Orr’s Trucking School. After graduation, Lyle worked at Brockville Wireworks. He spoke often of working for Hartshorn House Movers during the Seaway Project, especially moving Cook’s Tavern to Upper Canada Village, with muscle power & iron pikes. Subsequently he sprayed herbicide along the HEPC Hydro Towers. With these savings and a Jr. Farmer Loan Lyle bought the Marston & Mabel Shaver farm on Sandy Row in 1964. He started with pigs, hay, feed crops and milked until 1989. February 1974, Lyle married Brenda Wynn, Rachel was born in 1975. Brenda and Rachel left in 1980. Upon selling the milk cows Lyle drove transport to Florida for Duncan Bros. From them he bought Wet Land in Edwardsburg Twp. and finished the log house there. That house was severed and sold eventually. Lyle’s true love of farming never left. He added 2 Belted Galoways to the herd for docility and sturdiness. In 1991 Eileen Webb, a widow from Middlesex County, joined Lyle in his true dream and passion: farming. Lyle expanded the beef herd from the heifers kept after selling the milk cows. The last animal left through Tollgate Farms January 2017. Lyle was going to put in 2 cows to keep the grass down in the spring. Unfortunately, April 30, 2017, Lyle had a stroke. He had neuro surgery at the Civic and returned to WDMH and became a resident of Maxville Manor. Lyle was so lucky to have good friends, neighbours and a nephew to call 911 April 30 and assist with Lyle’s care. Lyle is survived by his spouse since October 1991, daughter Rachel (Matthew Lodge), grandchildren: Gabriele, Hayden and Jasper of Kanata. Lyle was the middle child and only son of John and Ena, survived by Lorna Merkley (Cleon d.)of Clayton, June Knapp (Bernie d.) of Brockville, younger sisters Shirley Hamilton (Ralph d.) of Winchester Springs, Barbara Winters (Keith) of Roebuck, 17 nieces and nephews and many great nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents John & Ena Belway, ex-wife Brenda, 2000. Lyle will always be remembered in his “new” 2002 5- speed Silverado with Darshan, the red heeler from Williamsburg and Eileen as passengers. Besides living extremely frugally Lyle did buy a new tractor every few years trying to wheel and deal with George, Scott, Bob, Dennis or Brett. Lyle liked to head for Greely on Thursday and later have Eileen pay for Chinese Buffet at country Kitchen. He read 7 weeklies, including Ontario Farmer and the daily Ottawa Citizen. TV favorites were the News, Dragon’s Den, Heart Beat, British Mysteries, CBC and Vet Shows. Meanwhile enjoying a pipe full of Amphora or Colt. To be remembered Lyle spoke with SNCA about donating land to them as good land stewardship. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. The Service will be conducted by friend Jim Allen, of 4 United Churches, Reception Country Kitchen. Inurnment Maple Ridge Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to the Byers Funeral Home, South Mountain, (613-989-3836). Online condolences may be made at www.byersfuneralhomeinc.com

Mississippi Mills salutes long-standing businesses BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Retail establishments, restaurants, automotive centres and multi-generational farm operations were among those honoured during the second annual Mississippi Mills Long-standing Business Recognition event Oct. 18 at Almonte Old Town Hall. The initiative was introduced last year by the municipality’s community and economic development committee as a way to celebrate the achievements of local businesses. On Oct. 18, 20 businesses received certificates of appreciation, years in business pins and window decal stickers. According to Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin, the total years in business for the evening’s honourees amounts to well over 1,000. “And five of tonight’s family businesses have been in operation for over 100 years,” he noted. “One of them goes back to 1860, that’s a long time.” “All of these businesses are very important to Mississippi Mills,” McLaughlin continued. “There’s long existing businesses who carry forward our heritage and carry forward experiences and the new businesses, they bring in fresh ideas and new ways of doing things and we all prosper from all of those.” Taking turns introducing each of the businesses honoured during the evening was councillors Denzil Ferguson and Christa Lowry, along with Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation’s regional economic development officer, Stacie Lloyd.

The Carleton Place and area business community was in the spotlight Friday for the fifth annual Business Awards of Excellence Gala, presented by the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce. Twenty-five businesses were profiled as awards were handed out in six categories on Oct. 20 at the Grand Hotel. The night’s biggest honour went to the Beckwith Butcher, which was named Business of the Year. Owners Rob and Kathleen Carpenter accepted the award. The Beckwith Butcher was selected for its excellence in business operations, including financial management and environmental practices, and it is viewed as a business leader in sales and marketing. Too, “It has a strong track record of community involvement and support,” Donna MacDonald said. MacDonald is the chamber’s past chair, and she and Jamie Law, the chamber’s acting chair, were the night’s MCs. As a rule, the chamber recruits the Business of the Year Award

and Apple Hill Towing (Brent Devlin). “It was quite the list this year … I am excited to announce the Beckwith Butcher as the 2017 Business of the Year,” Comley said. “This award is not only for us, but for our staff as well,” Rob stated, while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Kathleen. “Guys, thank you for a fantastic year!” In 2017, Rob marks 30 years in business as the Beckwith Butcher, with Kathleen managing the store’s year-old partner business, the Beckwith Kitchen, after spending 35 years with the federal government. The Beckwith Butcher, located at 1 Costello Dr., offers only hormone free beef, chicken and pork — believing customers should be able to walk into their local butcher shop and buy fresh meat grown locally by a farmer.

Carleton Place policing costs to increase one per cent in 2018 BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The following are issues discussed or brought up by Carleton Place council during the corporate services, community issues and planning and protection meetings, held Oct. 17. With the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) contracted for policing the Carleton Place area, the municipality has received the organization’s annual billing estimate for the year 2018. “I am glad to see the OPP is only going up one per cent,” Coun. Sean Redmond noted. “It will help a little bit.” The amount estimated for service next year is $2,279,577, which is an increase of $12,122. The estimate includes contract enhancements of $182,395 that are optional. For example: community sergeant position. Support requests Owing to a request by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County for support, $2,000 will be included in the town’s 2018 budget for the organization’s work in 2018. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their potential – both as individuals and citizens. Mentoring programs offered include Big Brothers, Big Sisters, InSchool, Go Girls After School and more. For more information about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, visit www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca. An appeal for support from the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum will also be included in the 2018 municipal budget for consideration.
The museum has made a grant request in the amount of $30,500, which is an increase of $500 over 2017’s ask. Located at 267 Edmund St., the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum preserves and exhibits artifacts that best serve to illustrate the history and development of the area from its founding. The community museum has approximately 13,000 items in its collection. Committee updates Coun. Sean Redmond, council’s representative on the municipal heritage committee, noted the 120th Town Hall Anniversary Reception on Thursday, Nov. 2, running 5 to 7 p.m. Festivities, which take place in the upstairs auditorium, include historical displays, entertainment and light refreshments The event, which commemorates the building of the Carleton Place Town Hall, is free and open to all residents. Coun. Theresa Fritz, council’s connection to Downtown Carleton Place, highlighted two of the organization’s upcoming events: Great Pumpkin Hunt and Trick or Treat Day. “Thirty businesses are participating in the Great Pumpkin Hunt during the month of October, which shows great buy-in,” she said. “The Trick or Treat Day on Oct. 28 is a fun event,” Fritz continued. “Youngsters, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., can get dressed up in their costumes and go around to participating businesses and get candy.” For complete details on both events, visit www.downtowncarletonplace.com. The 2017 Downtown Carleton Place Santa Claus Parade takes place on Nov. 25, beginning at 5 p.m. “The theme this year is Canada’s 150 birthday,” Fritz said. “Obviously, we will be seeing a lot of red and white, which happen to be Santa’s co-
lours as well.” On Nov. 16, the annual Downtown Carleton Place Open House takes place – an opportunity for residents to kick off their Christmas shopping. Many stores will be open late and offer sales. Fritz noted Downtown Carleton Place is quite busy. Deputy mayor Jerry Flynn and Coun. Doug Black sit on the board of the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. From Oct. 1 to Oct. 4, the duo attended the 2017 Biennial Tour, which was hosted by Credit Valley Conservation and Conservation Halton. Black noted, “The degree of co-operation amongst all the agencies, the levels governments and private industry ... it was really quite overwhelming.” “It was refreshing to see everyone working towards a common goal,” Flynn added. Black highlighted the amount of money being spent in that part of Ontario to fight invasive species. “There is a particular weed that grows in the swamps that decimates everything, and you cannot kill it once it starts,” he said. Considered Canada’s worst invasive plant, Phragmites, a large perennial grass, spreads frenziedly and is extremely hard to fully eliminate. It emits toxins from its roots that impede the growth of other plants. “It is clumped together ... you could not even walk through it,” Black said. Lastly, Black stressed an offer from Credit Conservation Authority “make any resources available to us” regarding the implementation of GI (green infrastructure)/ LID (low impact development) projects, and also with preparations surrounding the forthcoming release of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s updated stormwater criteria and volume control targets.
“They are the leading innovator on LID in Ontario, and they gave us lots of information on what they have accomplished down there,” he said. Flynn, the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce’s council representative, noted Jamie Law of Law & Orders is the organization’s

OPINION

NSVs are important, too
Non-scale victories are important in life – especially when looking at healthy alternatives that have nothing to do with the number on the scales. My fitness journey began Sept. 1 with a challenge to eliminate the excess sugar and carbs from my life and to introduce a better exercise regime. I was a bear, to put it mildly. I wanted anything sugary that I could find. I would overload on it, then go find some more sweetness to inhale. Good Lord, I thought. There has got to be an end to this. Suffice to say, I did eliminate junk food, kicking and screaming all the way, and all sorts of nasty, white carbs. I also hit the gym regularly, and have hired a personal trainer. I thought dropping 25 pounds since Sept. 1, and gaining two-per cent muscle mass was huge for me. But that was nothing compared to the accomplishment of my colleagues and I had at the Obstacle Course Race on Saturday, Sept. 30 for the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation. There were three of us from work who wanted to embark on something a little different and step outside our comfort zones. Donning our “Rise Above the Mud” T-shirts, and timing chips, the three of us left the starting blocks for the five-kilometre family run around 9:15 a.m. that Saturday morning. Our journey was not a “run” however; for us it was a walk – through the grassy fields, the briar and the bramble, over the hills and valleys of the densely-wooded areas. There were obstacles, of course, and one of us (not me!) was successful at several of them. I however, managed to do one obstacle successfully – the tire hauling. “Hey, you’re killing this!” Evelyn said, as she and Tara were behind me, killing their own tire-hauling challenge. “I do this at the gym,” I hollered back. Well, sort of. I walk with 15-pound weights in each hand and carry them from one end of the track to the other – more than once. And repeat. Sometimes, for excitement purposes, I walk around the entire track. As we headed back into the woods for the umpteenth time, I got snapped by a prickly bush and blood shot out of
LAURIE WEIR Weir View a puncture wound on my arm. I shook it off and pulled up the rear. Just as Tara was descending a small mountain ahead of me, and Evelyn was coming up behind me, I hit a gopher hole and did a slo-mo drop and roll. It was not my finest moment, that’s for sure. As I saw the sky ahead of me (I was on my back) and felt my head bounce off the ground, the camera strap tried to choke me, I reactively put my feet in the air and kicked – something else I have been doing at the gym: flutter-kicks. I am not sure why I was doing this, but the tears of laughter were blinding me. “I’m OK!” I said, still laughing like a banshee. Evelyn ran to my side. My water bottle exploded in my pocket upon impact, I lost the cap off the camera lens, and my teeth were still rattling, but I eventually got vertical and stepped tenderly on my left foot. That’s when I felt shooting pains in my knee. Grit. That’s all it was that propelled us through the next, and final, section of the course. Down the small embankment we went and hiked another several meters when what to our wondering eyes did appear? OMG. It was a giant dirt mountain, with ropes! To get out of this ravine, we had to scale the side of this mud mountain. Yeehaw! Tara took the lead, and a guy ahead of us had come back to rescue us. He held my camera, and I headed up the slope after Tara; Evelyn easily scaled it behind me. Just a few more meters and we would be out of the woods, at least. There were a few more obstacles – menacing ones; some wonky, strappy ladder things, and the amazing warp wall that ran straight up into the sky like some Evil Knievel jump. Well done to Matt Volk of Eagles Nest Racing on configuring this course. We were the last to cross the finish line, but we finished it; war wounds and all.

to the celebration, logo designs should include the wording “Carleton Place” and/or “200th” or “200th Anniversary.” “Having a contest to allow residents to submit their own logo designs is just one way that we are involving the community in every aspect of our celebrations,” says 200th committee member Joanne Henderson. “We want to ensure this is not only a celebration for our residents, but also includes the talented efforts
of our residents as much as possible.” For full contest details, including rules and information, visit http:// carletonplace.ca/carletonplace-200.php.

The Town of Carleton Place will mark the 120th anniversary of the Carleton Place Town Hall with an appreciation event on Nov. 2.
Carleton Place marks town hall’s 120th anniversary with Nov. 2 event The mayor and council invite you to join in the fun as we celebrate the 120th anniversary of the construction of our town hall at a free event on Nov. 2! Our magnificent town hall is not only the center of local government, it is the center of our community. Constructed between 1895 and 1897, the building was officially opened to the public with a Grand Concert on Oct. 25, 1897. Citizens were treated
to musical entertainment and dance performances and the evening was written up in the Carleton Place Herald newspaper: “The event was one of splendor. Citizens arrived in bright apparel, mounted the broad staircase and were seated by six full dress ushers. The edifice is a paradise of architectural creation….” This year’s event will be more casual, (no fancy dress required!). Vocalist Mark Lovell will perform a selection of pop-
ular songs from the 1890s, and dancers from Rosemary Breman’s School of Dancing will entertain the audience at 6 p.m. The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum will have vintage photos and artifacts on display, outlining the history of the town hall. Light refreshments will be served. Please be sure to join us on Thursday, Nov. 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the town hall auditorium.

coming along fabulously,” Flynn noted. “There is also a drive on for new members.” Coun. Ross Trimble noted the Carleton Place & District Youth Centre’s major fundraiser – golf tournament – raised almost $12,700. Also bringing in money was the Home Depot’s Orange Door Project, with the local store raising approximately $14,000 to help end youth homelessness. “We are going to be reviewing our strategic plan,” Trimble added. Naloxone spray Owing to a concern about an increase in opioid overdoses, a working group encompassing the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, County of Lanark, Lanark County Paramedic Services and Les Reynolds (Lanark County’s fire co-ordinator) has developed a plan for dealing with a potential cluster event, including policies to be followed should a municipality decide to outfit its fire service to deliver Naloxone. Naloxone is used to treat a narcotic overdose in an emergency situation. It blocks or reverses the effects of opi-
oid medication. Carleton Place’s Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) will equip its firefighters to administer Naloxone, according to Reynolds. In addition to being Lanark County’s fire co-ordinator, Reynolds is the OWFC’s fire chief. “The Naloxone will be delivered through a nasal spray,” he explained. “A single dose is $125, and it has a shelf life of two years.” Reynolds noted he will “probably buy three doses, which can easily be accommodated in our operating budget.” The Naloxone spray will be kept inside the brigade’s trucks, and it must be kept at a normal temperature. The health unit has agreed to provide the training at no cost to the town. Awareness session The Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) hosted a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) awareness session for firefighters and their spouses in eastern Lanark County, held upstairs in the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena).
The OWFC, working collaboratively with seven other Lanark County fire brigades, has a plan to help prevent or lessen the risk of PTSD among area firefighters. “With an attendance of 136 people, the need for this type of training is very apparent,” OWFC fire chief Les Reynolds stated. “Attendees came from Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Beckwith and Lanark Highlands.” PTSD is a mental health condition that develops in some individuals, triggered by a shocking, frightening or dangerous event – either by experiencing it or witnessing it. Owing to the duties associated with their job, PTSD is more often than not suffered by firefighters, police officers, paramedics, correctional workers, nurses, emergency dispatchers and enlisted people, just to name a few. “The Lanark County fire chiefs continue to meet regularly to determine the next steps for this plan,” Reynolds stated. “We have worked hard to reduce the stigma around mental illness so people are free to talk about it,” he continued.
“The more you talk about it, the more you are aware of it, and the better equipped you are to deal with it,” Coun. Sean Redmond said. Awareness sessions are designed to help firefighters become aware of oncoming problems – for themselves, their spouses and their fellow firefighters. More sessions are scheduled in Lanark County soon.
“We are quick to associate PTSD with the military,” mayor Louis Antonakos said. “However, it is not restricted to them.” Owing to more conversation about PTSD, “over the past 10 years ... everyone is now aware of those four letters,” he added. “It can hit anybody,” Reynolds said.
RECYCLE! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. 66% of energy is saved when producing new plastic products from recycled materials instead of raw (virgin) materials.

We are indeed fortunate to live in a free country where the opportunity for a rewarding and fulfilling life is available to each and everyone. One specific group we can thank for our peaceful and secure and free nation is our veterans. It was their sacrifices throughout our proud history that paid the price for our ability to live in the greatest nation on Earth. Each year the members of the Royal Canadian Legion eagerly exercise their most important responsibility by taking part in the annual poppy campaign. They do so with glad hearts and a thankful spirit as they treat this event as a sacred trust placed in their care to show true and sincere appreciation to those who gave so much. This tradition allows us to share the thanks we give with you, to more than 119,000 Canadian men and women who paid the ultimate price in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, peacekeeping missions and Afghanistan. Our operations abroad have brought new veterans home to their families and communities and to them we pledge the same support and aid we have offered those that have gone before. As we begin this year’s campaign, we are indeed grateful to the generosity and thoughtfulness shown year and year again by all who have assisted us by proudly wearing the red blossom or purchasing and displaying memorial wreaths. Your outstanding commitment to this cause has allowed us at Carleton Place’s Branch 192 to provide aid to ex-service personnel and their families, bursaries to forward the educational pursuits of our youth, and the purchase of much needed hospital equipment and supplies. These contributions are held in trust by the legion and are disbursed in accordance with the legion’s national bylaws. We hope we can once again enlist your support when approached by our volunteers or when you come across the now popular poppy boxes seen in many retail and government facilities and schools. We would ask that you proudly wear your poppy on your left side nearest to your heart in remembrance. Money collected from the 2016 campaign was distributed as follows: Balance Oct. 1, 2016 — $21,798.78 • Revenue — $23,622.01 • Sub-total — $45,420.79 • Expenses — $5,264.04 Disbursements • Grants — $3,401.15

Carleton Place chamber hands out 2017 business awards BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Every year, the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce joins together with business owners and employees, as well as local dignitaries and community members to honour and celebrate business excellence. The organization honoured Carleton Place and area businesses who have distinguished themselves in six categories: Entrepreneur of the Year; Employee/Team of the Year; Community Involvement; Excellence in Customer Service; People’s Choice; and Business of the Year on Friday, Oct. 20, during the chamber’s 2017 Business Awards of Excellence Gala. The awards were handed out during festivities at The Grand Hotel, which recently reopened as a lavish boutique wedding and events destination. “Tonight not only marks our fifth annual business awards gala, but it is part of the national celebrations taking place across Canada this month in honour of Small Business Week,” Donna MacDonald said. “Small businesses contribute greatly to their local economies through job creation and taxes, and they are often very involved in many aspects of the community.” MacDonald is the chamber’s past chair, and she and Jamie Law, the chamber’s acting chair, were the evening’s MCs. “We are here to honour local business owners who demonstrate excellence in business in our community,” Law noted. The 2017 awards program attracted a total of 25 nominations, and the winners were selected by the chamber’s membership, with the exception of one award — People’s Choice. The public voted on this award. Winners The night’s biggest honour went to The Beckwith Butcher, which was named Business of the Year. Owners Rob and Kathleen Carpenter accepted the award from 2015’s honouree Dena Comley of The Granary. The Beckwith Butcher was selected for its excellence in business operations, including financial management and environmental practices, and it is viewed as a business leader in sales and marketing. “It has a strong track record of community involvement and support,” MacDonald said. “This award is not only for us, but

AWARDS
From page A/CP7
sible for purchasing one of the first tractors in the area – an International Titan 1020. Currently, Ed cash crops soybeans, corn and hay, while Jodi cares for chickens who produce farm fresh eggs. • Rockyrapid (105 years): This farm belongs to Bert and Bev Thom put has roots dating back to 1912 when James Thom purchased land on Rae Road. Currently, the Thoms have 30-35 purebred Holstein cows and a beef herd of 25 and also have cash crops and provide custom farm work. They are beginning succession planning as son Wes and his partner are taking over the operation. • Symcroft (100+ years): This fourth generation farm on the Appleton Side Road is owned by Glen and Ellen Syme and dates back to the early 1900s. It’s a dairy operation milking 40 purebred Holsteins, with a total herd of 100. They are also the recipients of the Master Breeder Shield, a prestigious national award. Glen is past president of the Almonte Fair, while Ellen is involved in Lanark County 4-H and son Travis is a director for the Lanark Holstein Club. • Tipper Holsteins (100+ years): Owned by Jim Tims, Tipper Holsteins’ roots began to take shape in the late 1860s when the Tims family immigrated from Ireland. In the
mid-1950s, Jim and his father Joe, bought purebred Holstein cows with the prefix Tipper, in honour of Tipperary, Ireland. The farm turned to a dairy operation in 1971 and today includes 30-35 milk cows. Jim’s land is also famous for zen rocks, so special that a Japanese monk sought them out for use in a zen garden at the Museum of Civilization. • Arthurs Beef & Cash Crop (150+ years): Ray and Betty Ann Arthur own the oldest farm honoured this year, which was settled by John Arthur in 1867. The farm began as a mix of dairy and shorthorns, but in the 1930s, became known for its Ayrshire cows until 2005, when the Arthurs stopped milking cows. Today, it’s a cow-calf operation with shorthorns as the main breed. Lowry commended all of the businesses for their longevity. “It’s remarkable the dedication of business owners to stick it out and succeed to 25, 35 50 and more years,” she said. “The recipients where there’s multiple generations, it’s truly humbling to see the success of generations upon generations standing on the shoulders of those who came before…thank you for being part of the success of Mississippi Mills.”

Renowned author Frances Itani comes to Almonte library Nov. 4 In partnership with Mill Street Books, please join author Frances Itani at the Mississippi Mills Public Library in Almonte on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 1:30 p.m. when she reads from her new novel entitled That's My Baby. Picking up the story started in her novels, Deafening and Tell, this story follows Hanora, a young woman who is told about her adoption, but given no details. As the Second World War looms, Hanora is determined to uncover the mysteries of her identity. This quest will take her across the ocean and headlong into the tumult of Europe. Amid the tensions of the Second World War, the music and the great dance halls of the era beckon, and a career as a journalist becomes possible, even as her great love, Tobe, enlists
in the Infantry. But Hanora will not let the past lie, even though, decades later, the truth remains beyond her grasp. It isn’t until Hanora discovers a set of diaries written by a late local artist that she begins to piece together the central issue of her own identity, hidden from her since birth. Itani’s vivid storytelling, infused with music and seamless historical detail, reveals how memory, no matter how imperfect, can shape the person we believe ourselves to be. Itani, a Member of the Order of Canada and a three-time winner of the CBC Literary Award, has written 16 books. Itani lives in Ottawa and we are pleased to welcome her to Almonte for this event. This is a registered event; to reserve your seat, please call the library at 613256-1037.

Fortunately, a program called Project Step (project-step.ca) – funded through the Ottawa Senators Foundation – was able to lend a helping hand. Project Step (which stands for substance abuse, treatment, education and prevention) is the foundation’s biggest investment to date – with a $1-million investment dedicated to tackling youth addictions over 10 years.
In the midst of a building painted a sensible beige, sits a small but extraordinary office that’s painted cotton-candy pink – within these pink walls, Jenny Strange offers individual counselling sessions to the centre’s clients – many of whom have been exposed to the troubles of substance abuse. “With Project Step funded by “It’s very rare to see someone Sens foundation, I’m able to with just substance abuse – be here full time – I’m really there’s always a problem be- indebted to them,” enthuses hind the problem,” explains Jenny. “Working with youth is Jenny. “Many of the girls my passion, and our latest outcoming in struggle with some come assessments for mental mental health issues – primar- health and addictions show that ily anxiety or depression – and having in-house counselling for I would say the majority have this clientele really works.” experienced trauma,” explains Thanks to Project Step, Jenny Jenny. “That could be trauma says she’s now able to see up from a sexual assault, physical to 25 clients in a week – which abuse, emotional abuse, finan- means being able to offer criticial abuse – you name it.” cal support on an ongoing baJenny is one of two counsellors at Youville Centre; both counsellors are registered psychotherapists with trauma certification.

Hill-Francis-Hopkins line helps Canadians shut out rival Bears The Carleton Place Canadians weren’t kind hosts to the Smiths Falls Bears Sunday afternoon as the Canadians shut out their rivals 5-0 and limited the Bears to just 17 shots in the game. The line of Connor Hill, Peyton Francis and Haydn Hopkins put Carleton Place ahead early in the game with Hill scoring 4:06 into the first period, showing off his stick-handling ability to open up half the net for his shot. Hopkins scored with 7:26 left, one-timing the Hill pass past Kyle Renaud for a 2-0 lead. Along with their goals, Hill and Hopkins got assists on each other’s goals and Francis also earned assists on both goals. “Francis has done a really good job of stepping up and being a real good player on that line,” said Canadians coach Jason Clarke. “I think he’s responded really well to the ice-time he’s received and it’s good to see.” Hopkins added the physical play from him and Hill helped with the Evelyn Harford/Metroland success of that line in recent games, as well as the increased speed ele- Carleton Place Canadians won 5-0 over the Smiths Falls Bears at their home game on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2017. Pictured here, Smiths Falls Bear, ment from Francis. “We’re both physical players and Matthieu Franche, moves in on Canadians player, Geoff Kitt.
‘Franny’ coming in has been really good,” Hopkins continued. “A good two-way guy, gets us the puck and, again, Hill’s a big boy who uses his body, I like to use my speed and body so I think it’s a good combination of tenacity and skill.” Geoff Kitt and Aidan Girduckis scored goals in the second period to extend the lead to 4-0 going to the third period, where Ben Tupker wrapped up the scoring late in the game. Michael Leach spent a lot of Sunday’s game watching it, but he was ready when tested as he stopped all 17 shots he faced for his first shutout of the season. Kitt said he and his team-mates powered through any fatigue they might be feeling after a busy weekend of hockey for some and were able to win the battles in order to get the win on home ice. “Practice this week was tough,” the Canadians captain added. “We’re on a winning streak but ‘Clarkie’ still expects the best out of us every game and he wasn’t happy with our game against Navan, so we battled hard against each other in practice. If we can battle hard against each other, then we can battle hard against anyone.”
“There was a lot of sweat, a lot of physical play during practice and guys were ready to go,” Clarke added. “It was good for them to respond and anytime during a week-end that you can outscore your opponents 10-1 in two games obviously you’re doing a lot of things right. Our philosophy has always been you play the way you practice, and our practice dictated what our play was like all week long.” Carleton Place next plays the Navan Grads on Friday at the Carleton Place Arena and, according to Kitt, the team knows what led to a bit of a poor performance despite picking up the win as he said the players need to be better prepared for the game. “We knew we were up against Navan and I felt some of the guys took it easy and they thought we were just going to win the game,” Kitt expressed. “Navan’s a good team when they play hard, any team’s a good team on any given night, and they’re going to give us their A-game so we’ve got to be ready at all times.” Submitted by Daniel Vazzoler, Carleton Place Canadians

We are excited to finally be able to put some of our work into practice and evaluate our progress against some of the top teams in our zone,” explained Volleyball Canada sitting volleyball high performance director, Ian Halliday. The women’s program is looking to build upon their experiences and successes from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. “While most of the 2016 team has returned for the 2017 season, we have added two new athletes that we feel will positively contribute to the team’s performance and provide us with more depth in certain positions,” said Halliday.

SPORTS In 2009 the Carleton Place Canadians played their first Central Canada Hockey League game, making the jump to Jr. A after 40 seasons of Jr. B hockey. Since then owner Jason Clarke has built one of the best hockey programs in the country. This season the program has become bigger and stronger with the addition of a Jr. B team that is affiliated with his Jr. A powerhouse. As of Oct. 10, the Canadians tier 2 team holds a 10-4 record, coming off seven wins in their last eight games. It has been an outstanding start for a team that does not have a single player born earlier than 1999, in a league where 1997 born players are eligible. “The idea is to get younger players in the lineup to get experience playing against older teams, see how they respond, and hopefully they can develop and reach the next level,” said head coach John Ollson. Ollson played 343 professional hockey games in North America and Europe. Since the program started in 2009, 64 Jr. A Canadians have received National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) scholarships. On Sept. 18, Ryland Mosley became the first tier 2 Canadians player to commit to an NCAA school. He chose the University of Alabama-Huntsville and will start his first year with them in September 2020. “I really like the program; they are building a good team there and I want to be involved.

Carleton Place Tier 2 Canadians player Ryland Mosley is the first player to commit to an NCAA school. He will attend the University of Alabama-Huntsville in September 2020. in the pre-season and I was hooked right away,” Mosley said. Mosley is an 18-year-old from Arnprior and is regarded as one of the top prospects for the Jr. A Canadians. He is playing on the top line of the tier 2 club, and through 14 games leads the league with 14 assists and is fourth in the league with 21 points. Mosley becomes the fifth Carleton Place player in the last three seasons to commit to Huntsville. Their current roster features seven Ontarioborn players. He is leaning toward studying a businessrelated program. For now, he remains with the Carleton Place Canadians and has one thing on his mind. “I want to a win a championship. I love winning and I am excited to have the opportunity,” he noted. The tier 2 Canadians got off to a 3-3 start, but currently sit
at the top of Richardson Division standings with 18 points. Mosley has had a great start to the year as an individual and wants to continue to be a big part of their success. “I want to be a leader on and off the ice and lead the team in a good direction. I am excited to be here with some of my friends that I have played with for a few years, and I am making new friends as well which is nice,” he said. “Offensively and skating wise he is excellent. There is room for him to improve playing in his own end of the ice, but he is getting better and he has got lots and lots of speed,” added Ollson. The Central Canada Hockey League second tier is a 16team league with each team playing a 52-game schedule. The league website is http:// cchl2.pointstreaksites.com. Submitted by Chris Lethbridge

Having a “first-class hospital” is one of the things that Gaye Bennett-Matthews and Bryn Matthews believe makes Mississippi Mills such a wonderful place to live, raise a family and retire. That’s why deciding to support the diagnostic imaging campaign was a relatively easy decision for them to make. Bryn has been an ardent supporter of the Hospital for all of the years they’ve lived in this region. He served on the Hospital Board for nine years and was on the Foundation Board following that. “I have been involved with hospitals in just about every place we’ve lived,” said Bryn. “I believe that good health care is of paramount importance, so I’ve been committed to supporting it.” Although neither Gaye nor Bryn have had a lot of experience with the Hospital or Manor, the few interactions they’ve had have been very positive. These include Gaye having an ultrasound recently and Bryn having an x-ray in the new digital suite. Both were very quick to point out that one of their grandchildren, Tory Audet, was born at AGH in 2005. Her birth, so close to home, certainly further strengthened their commitment to making sure that the exceptional staff at the Hospital have the best tools with which to provide patient care. Gaye and Bryn recently “put themselves in the picture” in support of the AGH FVM Foundation’s diagnostic imaging campaign, and specifically asked that their gift be directed towards the acquisition of the CT scan. The $4 million DI campaign is divided into $1.8 million to pay for the new digital x-ray suite, new digital, portable x-ray machine and two new digital ultrasound machines. The other $2.2 million will pay for a CT scan, something that the Hospital does not currently have. Application has been made to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for permission to add CT scan capability to the DI department. The Foundation’s commitment to raise the necessary funds will help satisfy the Ministry’s need to know the source of funding for the new piece of equipment. For more information on the “Put Yourself in the Picture” campaign, please contact the AGH FVM Foundation at 613-256-2500 ext. 2297 or email aroberts@agh-fvm.com
