Carleton Place hospital gets go ahead for emergency department expansion BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The green light was given Oct. 28 for Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) to expand its emergency department with a 9,000-square-foot addition. Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care was at CPDMH to make the official announcement, which he said will improve access to emergency care services, help reduce wait times for residents of Carleton Place and surrounding communities, as well as accommodate higher-level diagnostic and therapeutic needs. The hospital will receive a total of $8.75 million from the province, but will be tasked with raising the remaining $1.24 million for the upgrades to the emergency department. The total cost of the project is estimated at $9.99 million. “The new emergency department will ensure more patients are able to receive emergency health care services where they need them, when they need them,” Hoskins said. Growing up in Simcoe, Ont., a small town like Carleton Place, the minister said he completely understands the hospital provides a vital service to the community. “My heart and soul is dedicated to making sure our community hospitals, particularly those in smaller communities and in remote parts of the province, are given the tools and

I understand your challenges.” The minister, joined by local MPP Randy Hillier and Mayor Louis Antonakos, toured the emergency department at CPDMH before the fund-
ing announcement. “It was a privilege to meet such committed, compassionate and hardworking individuals,” Hoskins said. CPDMH president and chief executive officer (CEO) Mary Wilson Trider said she was pleased to hear the “wonderful news,” and she noted the day’s announcement “would have a
significant impact on the families that rely on CPDMH for care. The planning for this day has been underway for many years, and while I am thrilled to be standing here introducing Dr. Hoskins, I have only been the hospital’s CEO for eight weeks,” she said. “None of this is my doing...the credit goes to Toni (former president and
CEO Toni Surko).” Wilson Trider noted projects such as this are all about collaboration, “ensuring the very best care for patients, as well as ensuring a strong voice for rural health care in Ontario. I also want to thank our staff, physicians and volunteers for your ongoing commitment to our patients,” she remarked. “Together, we are excited to work with the ministry and the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) to make this dream a reality as soon as possible.” Champlain LHIN representatives in attendance for the announcement were board chair Jean-Pierre Boisclair and CEO Chantale LeClerc. “We have worked closely with hospital representatives to plan the new, larger emergency room in Carleton Place,” LeClerc said. “The project will have many benefits for patients, including more timely services in a more modern environment. Building strong, well-coordinated services in rural areas of Champlain is a key priority for the LHIN, and for the sustainability of our region’s health system.” Hillier gave special thanks “to the people who made my job easier, working tirelessly and collaboratively.” The 2016 OGRA (Ontario Good Roads Association)/ROMA (Rural Ontario Municipal Association) conference was held in Toronto from Feb. 21-24.

Lanark County United Way Day Breakfast makes a kick-off splash for fall campaign BY Evelyn Harford
eharford@metroland.com
What goes well with community building? How about a healthy dose of sausages, pancakes and coffee? And that's exactly what was delivered at the Lanark County United Way Day Breakfast held at Algonquin College's Perth Campus on the morning of Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016. The sweet smell of maple syrup cascaded across the college's cafeteria as stakeholders, partners and students sipped coffees and enjoyed breakfast for a good cause - the United Way of Lanark County (UWLC). Attendees paid $5 for the breakfast prepared by D'Dawg Café and were offered a "Tour for a Toonie" of the campus by student ambassadors. All proceeds donated by the 100 or so guests went back into the United Way's coffers as part of their annual fall campaign so that UWLC can invest back into the community. This year, UWLC plans to increase the number of people they touch to 8,500 - up 500 from last year. "It may not seem like a lot but when you're looking at 8,000 lives, it's about one in eight people in Lanark," said Kate Hallas, UWLC's fund development officer. The thousands of people served each year are touched by one, if not many, of UWLC's partners including, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS), Lanark County Community Justice Program and YAK Youth Centre, who were in attendance at the breakfast. Algonquin College has been a longtime partner with the United Way and many of the organization supported
"It really makes a difference about how many kids we can provide for." Beth Sinclair
by the United Way in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa are staffed and supported by graduates and students of Algonquin College's Social Service Worker and Personal Support Worker programs. An Algonquin student in the applied research program even conducted a first-of-its-kind study on youth homelessness in Lanark. Hallas said that study, conducted in 2014, has been a huge help because it established a baseline number of homeless youth in the area, something that didn't exist before. The study estimated that an average of 42 youth are homeless in Lanark every year, but Hallas said from her experience the number is higher. The focus on youth homelessness has grown for the UWLC in the last number of years and a goal this year is to ensure every young person in need has access to safe and affordable housing as well as support services with 10 days of being referred. Another key investment made by UWLC this year includes an investment in the after school programs run through BBBS. Beth Sinclair, the resource development manager at BBBS said the investment her organization gets from the United Way is really important. "We're so grateful," she said. "It really makes a difference about how
many kids we can provide for." The UWLC has given the organization $35,000 for their after school programs for both 2016 and 2017, under the new two-year funding model. UWLC's Executive Director, Fraser Scantlebury, said the after school programs serve kids in the "critical hours" when they're most likely to be involved with more negative influences. While breakfast goers could learn about the incredible programs and organizations there was also an opportunity to engage with the United Way sponsored game, "Make the Month," which brings users through a month of life living in poverty. In the game, you start out with a certain amount of money depending on which family type you choose and are given a series of financial and life decisions that impact your bottom line. If you're able to get through 30 days with a surplus, you pass. If not, you fail. The purpose of the game is to help users learn about the struggles faced by many of Lanark County residents. Brandon Desormeaeux, a second year Algonquin College student in the Business Management and Entrepreneurship program, played the game and was forced to make some tough financial decisions. Desormeaeux didn't make it through the month. With four days left until payday, he was down $160. "I think it reaffirmed my perception - it's not stuff I don't already know, but it is an eye-opener for sure."

The Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation has unveiled phase one of its interactive mapping project, which will provide local attractions and historical details of the trails in
Mapping project gives Lanark County’s trails starring role online BY Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
Active transportation is an important tool for many municipalities and Lanark County is no different. A new mapping project undertaken by the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation (LCMTC) is trying to reach users on the worldwide web. Catherine Orfald, co-ordinator of the mapping project, and LCMTC president Reid Kilburn provided some insight into the initiative Oct. 26 during the county's economic development committee meeting. "About a year ago we were looking to promote our trails by creating an interactive mapping project," Kilburn explained. "We looked at the overall trails in the county and for the first phase, we concentrated on the Tay-Havelock trail through Tay Valley Township." He added that the interactive approach was used to "stimulate trail use throughout the county." Orfald, who was a board member of the trails corporation two years ago, has been spearheading the project, of which she has put in more than 70 hours of work. "We've created a fun way to learn more about our trails," she said as she took councillors through a demonstration of the mapping project. The site shows a map of the Tay-Havelock trail, complete with fun facts users can hover over to find out more information on its history. "There's a number of historical markers...about the Ontario-Quebec railway a number of years ago until it was abandoned in 1987," Orfald stated. Included are historical documentations, GPS coordinates and attractions and areas to visit that are along the trail. "Key markers along the way are local attractions to visit where one could easily get off the trail and go down the road to see. We've only included things at this point that are very close to the trail so you could hop off easily," she said, noting Silver Lake Provincial Park. While the Tay-Havelock trail is just the first phase of the project, Purdon Conservation Area has also been added. "More trails can be marked and added to this project," she explained. This project includes more than nearby attractions and history along the trails, it also focuses on the wildlife users can find in the area, safety tips for cyclists, ATV users and snowmobile enthusiasts, as well as information on the importance of getting active on trails.
"There's tips on wildlife encounters, whether it's turtles, bears or snakes..and the benefits of physical activity," Orfald commented. "It's the exploratory idea of using the trail and learning about the different activities and use you can get along the trail." Councillors were receptive of the work being done on the project. "I think this is great. This is just what we need," remarked Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve), however he didn't believe mapping should include roadways as well. "Roads aren't trails in my opinion, either," added Orfald. "I agree with Coun. Kidd," continued Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor). "The simple thing to do is to add that there are more trails to come so people will come back. It is a marvelous interface and I think it's wonderful." But Coun. Louis Antonakos believed those roadway markings were needed for reference points. "Do you not want some sort of road network to know where you are?" he questioned. As Orfald has put in many hours on the project, Coun. Brian Stewart commended her for the work she has accomplished. "It's amazing. You've done quite a job and I would like to thank you for the job you've taken on," he stated. "I agree with everybody here," added warden Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley deputy reeve). "This is a substantial amount of time and we appreciate what you are doing for our county." Coun. Jane Torrance was eager to take the project further and wondered if Orfald would like to continue to work on it. "I'd love to. It's been great fun," she commented. Code suggested that if Orfald continues to log hours on the initiative, council may want to consider a monetary commitment. "She shouldn't be doing this for nothing," she pointed out. Later in the meeting, councillors made the decision to provide Orfald with an official motion thanking her for her efforts. A letter and monetary thank-you from the warden's discretionary fund will be forwarded to Orfald. "Going forward with Catherine, we should see what her expectations are and whether she wants to go ahead and do some more (on this project), Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor) said. The project can currently be found on the Lanark County Tourism website (lanarkcountytourism.com) under the trails section.

Employee receives award for outstanding contributions Lanark County Warden Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley Deputy Reeve) extended congratulations on behalf of council to Nikole Green, Adult Protective Services Worker (APSW) with the Lanark County Social Services Department (Developmental Services). Green received the Percy Pittman Award at the Adult Protective Services Workers Association conference in Cobourg in September. The award is presented to an adult protective services worker who makes outstanding contributions in the field of case-management services to adults with developmental disabilities living independently in the community. Green has been with the Developmental Support Services team for seven years, during which time she has demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities in her role. “Nikole tackles any challenge head on and always has time for her clients or co-workers in a time of need,” said Julie Golding, Developmental Support Services manager. The Percy Pittman award was named for a former DSS client who attended the conference with a former APSW employee of Lanark County, Steve Tennant.

Community grants recipients approved Council approved in principle the funding allocations for community grants recipients based on recommen-
dations in a summary of 2017 funding requests. Last October council approved a new community grants program, which came into effect on Jan. 1. The new guidelines were distributed to the 2016 recipients and the information was also advertised. A staff working group evaluated the submissions and provided recommendations in a report to the community services committee in advance of the 2017 budget deliberations. The program is designed to award grants to projects that have a direct impact on the people of Lanark County or to increase the capacity of organizations to initiate and sustain local projects. Three categories of projects were represented: human services, agriculture/forestry, arts/heritage/tourism. The 2017 community grant budget is $275,000; requests totalled $596,000. Recipients for project funding (one year) include Food for Thought in Lanark County, Lanark County 4-H Association, Lanark County Community Justice Program, Lanark County Tourism Association, Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement and Watersheds Canada. Program funding (two years) recipients include Archives Lanark, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, Lanark Community Programs, Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program, and the five youth centres in the county and Smiths Falls.
Clerk and treasurer appointed Council passed bylaws approving appointments related to the clerk and treasurer positions in the County. In September 2013, a major reorganization of the county administration took place that amalgamated the clerk, treasurer and CAO position into one, with a deputy clerk and deputy treasurer reporting to the CAO. With the new bylaws, Leslie Drynan, who was in the deputy clerk position, has been appointed as Clerk/Deputy CAO. Jennie Bingley, who was deputy treasurer, has been appointed to the position of Treasurer/Manager of Corporate Services, which oversees the finance, human resources and information technology departments. CAO Kurt Greaves will also act as Deputy Clerk/Deputy Treasurer. ROMA delegation requests outlined Council has approved a motion authorizing staff to submit delegation requests for the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association Conference taking place in January. Councillors are seeking to meet with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services regarding sustainable funding for youth centres, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care regarding cross-border ambulance billing, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing about the proposed amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Af-

Couple’s donation kick-starts LAWS capitalcampaign What lies behind a $5,000 donation from Dave and Cathy Lindstedt to help kick-start LAWS' capital campaign for a brand new shelter? "That's easy," says Cathy. "Nothing more than a deep love for animals and a desire for this vital organization to have a much better facility for the animals in its care, and for the staff and volunteers who work for LAWS 365 days a year." The couple's generous gift was made Sept. 24 at LAWS' annual Walk Your Paws for LAWS event. A further $5,000 which was raised that day helped launch LAWS on the road to its goal of $525,000 for the campaign. "There are so many unwanted cats and dogs," says Dave. "And they have no voice. We would bring them all home if we could. But by volunteering and by donating what we can, we are helping these companion animals to find loving homes." LAWS has been operating out of its current building in Smiths Falls for more than 36 years. Thousands of animals have been adopted over that timeframe. However, the building does not meet current standards for animal care and shelter operations. "After some tough times re-

"We've turned our situation around in a positive way. Now, fulfilling the
goal of this capital campaign will be a reflection of that hard work and the tireless dedication of us all." "LAWS is particularly special as we operate a no-kill shelter," adds Cathy, a retired federal civil servant who also serves on the board of LAWS. "We preserve

This year’s annual Movember campaign is asking for donations to help stop men dying too young, whether it’s from prostate or testicular cancer, suicide or mental health issues. Men are encouraged to grow moustaches and raise funds for men’s health.

Movember Foundation puts focus on fundraising for 2016 campaign On Nov. 1, the Movember Foundation launched its 2016 campaign with a strong message to share: Stop Men Dying Too Young. The state of men's health is in crisis, with men dying on average six years younger than women in Canada. Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing this health crisis, and without people talking, taking action and raising vital funds, nothing will change. This year, the Movember foundation puts the cause at the forefront, asking for donations for the first time in its campaign history to stop men dying too young. Part of this shift includes a cause-marketing approach spotlighting six Canadian men with real health issues. From survivors of suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer, to men who have lost loved ones to the above issues, and men who live with mental health issues, they are the faces of this year's campaign, encouraging men to talk and reach out for support when things get tough. Their stories motivate us to join the fight this Movember to stop men dying too young. As mentioned, Movember has made several changes this year. These include: - Real stories: The campaign creative showcases real men with real health stories - Sacrifice a beard: Men don't have to start clean shaven. They can sacrifice a beard into a moustache - Donations: For the first time, Movember is directly asking the public to donate money to the cause - Host: A brand new fundraising option, you can now Host a Movember event through Movember.com and browse local events in your area As well, there are three key weeks to show your support and join the fight this Movember: Grow a Mo, save a Bro: The moustache is the Movember Foundation's ribbon for men's health. Use it to raise funds and stop men dying too young. Sign up to grow your moustache for 30 days. Sacrifice your beard into a moustache, auction off your face to the highest donor or dye your Mo a different colour every day. Move: Get active for men's health. Raise funds for men's health while you do something good for your own health. Sign up to set yourself a Move challenge. From the big (riding 300kms in 30 days) to the brave (facing the fear of learning how to swim) to the slightly outra-
geous (working out in costume or having an office dodgeball tournament). Move is all about pushing yourself to reach your personal best. Host an event : Throw or go to a Movember event. Any excuse for a good time. Events are a great way to have fun and raise funds for men's health. Register at Movember.com to host your own event, or take a look at what's on in your area. Head along and make a donation to stop men dying too young. "With this year's campaign, we're putting the cause first: men are dying too young, and for no good reason," says Kevin Edwards, country director for Canada. "Though the tone of the campaign is a more serious one, we still stand by our values of doing good and having fun, and that's where growing a moustache, moving, and hosting events come in. Our community continues to have fun raising funds for an important and serious cause." With the money raised, the foundation has funded more than 1,200 game-changing projects in prostate cancer, testicular cancer and suicide prevention around the world, while positively challenging the way in which men's health issues are researched and addressed. "To truly create an impact, we need every single person supporting men's health - the more funds we raise and the more awareness we spread this Movember, the less likely men are to die before their time," says Edwards. Join the fight at Movember.com and sign up or donate to help stop men dying too young. About the Movember Foundation: The Movember Foundation is the only charity tackling men's health on a global scale, year round. By 2030, we will reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25 per cent. The Foundation funds game-changing men's health projects. Millions have joined the movement, raising $770 million to help us fund over 1,200 projects focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. In addition, our awareness and education program is encouraging men to become more aware of their health, to talk about the big stuff in life, and take action when health issues arise. Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn't being talked about. We can't afford to stay silent. We have one goal: to stop men dying too young.

CUPE: Closing schools won’t solve board’s funding problems Education workers with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) are gearing up for a fight to preserve the quality of education in the region and quality of life in smaller communities, both of which are under threat from the board's plans to close up to 29 of its public schools. Sixteen are targeted for closure by June 2017. Education assistants, custodians, school administrators and other support staff with UCDSB warn of serious negative consequences for students, families and communities if the closures go ahead. They are organizing with allies to call on the provincial government for changes to schools' funding formula so that schools can be protected as valuable community assets. "We understand the financial pressures that have led to these proposed closures, but we don't believe the board recognizes how harmful they will be, or has explored all the alternatives," said Sue Hanson, president of Local 5678 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents education workers at UCDSB. Hanson met with the UCDSB last month to learn more about the proposed closures.
"As workers at the heart of the system, we base our opposition to the closures on our deep knowledge about the vital role that our schools play in our communities," she said. The union's members will base their defence of the region's schools on the following: • Many students will have to travel further every day to get to school; some may have more than an hour's travel each way by school bus. • Schools that remain open will become overcrowded with new enrolments. • Children and young people risk being "warehoused" in overcrowded schools. • Up to ten child care centres operating in schools will be closed, with no provisions to create new spaces or accommodate families' child care needs locally. • Programs that operate outside regular classroom hours - from recreation programs to summer day camp to sporting events - can no longer be hosted in schools, threatening community life. • Business and municipalities will feel the economic impact as families move to be closer to schools; par-
ents are forced to leave work or leave their communities for child care; and good jobs are lost as schools close. "We will insist that the board take into account all the ways that schools are woven into the fabric of the community. Then we will urge them to join us in lobbying the provincial government for better funding for our
schools so that they can be retained as assets for the community," affirmed Hanson. CUPE has long advocated for improvements to the school funding formula, which fails to account for all the people required for our community schools to provide the complete education that students deserve.
"A flawed formula is at the root of school closures. Only the provincial government can provide funding that properly accounts for the real needs of our children and communities," she concluded. "It takes a whole school to educate a child." Submitted by CUPE Local 5678

Ontario looks for answers
ow soon after the first public safety entity was created – hundreds of years ago – did some ask the question: Who will police the police? The province is hoping to improve the way the police in Ontario are managed. There are three bodies that investigate police actions, with the Special Investigations Unit the best known. Justice Michael Tulloch is touring the province, listening to Ontarians’ suggestions and complaints. It’s a worthwhile endeavour. All of us need to have faith in our police. We need to know that when we raise a concern, an independent investigation will occur. Two of the stated purposes of Tulloch’s review are greater transparency and accountability. The SIU operates at arm’s length from the police, and the organization’s investigators deliver their reports to the Ontario attorney general, but not the public. That’s the first fix that’s needed. Public reports ensure transparency. The arm’s-length relationship – great in theory – can also be questioned. Most, if not all, of the SIU’s investigators are former police officers. While police departments are obvious sources of good investigators, their resumes don’t pass the
sniff test for some people who complain about police actions. There is no doubt there’s an appearance of conflict of interest, which in turn can make the public less confident that investigations go where they need to go. The answer would be to train investigators to work for the SIU, even if they have never worked for law enforcement before. There would clearly be a cost as the education wouldn’t be simple. But if Tulloch is to create a fair and complete report, hiring non-cops for the SIU must be an option. Another way to stretch the arm’s-length relationship between police and the SIU would be to expand the geographic scope of the people who investigate police officers. A provincial body such as the SIU means investigators – former police officers – may have personal relationships with members of the forces they investigate. If Canada had a federal unit instead, that could ensure personal relationships are less likely or avoided altogether – a former police officer in Alberta could be assigned SIU cases in New Brunswick, for example. If we are going to continue to fund investigations of our police, we should receive results all of us trust to be fair, complete and public.
Mother's moods fluctuated with the changing of the seasons
W
ith each new season, came a different set of emotions from Mother. My sister Audrey, who was much wiser, and much older than I was, was aware of it too. She said it was because Mother, when each season broke, compared it with New York, the city she left, and which still held a special place in her heart. When Spring came, it never came early enough to suit Mother. She said, when the snow was still on the ground in Northcote, the parks and streets would already be in bloom in New York. She said she could even smell the flowers in her mind's eye, which seemed mighty strange to me. Before I could smell anything, it had to be right in front of me. Mother said it took ages for her to get the smell of winter

out of the house. Even though the house was cleaned from top to bottom every Saturday, there was always ash and soot from the cook stove being in the closed up kitchen over the winter months. And then she would lament that in New York, no one had a cook stove, and the only ashes came from the fireplace in the parlour, which was cleaned out every time it was used. And I would try to picture the fireplace, and I knew there would have to be a very large parlour to hold it, not a little room off the kitchen like we had in Northcote. "Sure miss New York in the springtime," she would say. And when summer finally came, she lamented about the heat that closed in around our old log house like a vice.

Letter to the Editor
Reader urges trustees to re-evaluate school closures DEAR EDITOR:
The following letter was sent to school trustees, Members of Parliament and sent to this newspaper for publication. After reading the report on school closures it disturbs and shocks me. To close Maple Grove and move students to Drummond Central just doesn’t make any common sense. Who ever developed this report and suggested this, is not very well informed and does not have all the

information to make such a decision. I work for the board and as an employee I am not concerned even though I work at Maple Grove. As a taxpayer and living in the area it concerns me very much. I have worked and ran both schools. I know the facts in which I think everyone needs to know. There are some things that need to be addressed.

in New York. And when she wasn't lamenting about the summer flies, she was lamenting about the fierceness of the thunder and lightening that roared through the countryside in the Ottawa Valley. The log house, with no foundation, shook with every clap of thunder, and with we five children huddled beside her, locked tight inside, we waited out the storm, catching Mother's fear, and sure that the next bolt of lightning would send us all into oblivion.

ment at Drummond Center. It was pumped out and lime spread over the entire basement. After that there have been two floods of water from broken pipes that had the water within inches of the floor. It was all pumped out and the pipes were repaired. My question is - should an environmental study not be done on this school? Another thing is the cost of bringing in portables and hooking up electricity etc. I can imagine close to $700,000 or more out of taxpayers pockets. How about kids putting coats and hats on every time they want to go to the washroom? Who is supervising them while they are out of the building? The length of time a child four years old is on the bus - it is more than an hour now for kids going to Maple Grove and will add another 20 minutes on a good day. Some kids are 50 plus kilometres north of Lanark at Flower Station etc. Can you imagine a child learning when they spend three hours a day on a bus? What about wheel chair accessibility? Drummond is not accessible and would be costly to make it so. Now on the other hand Maple Grove is accessible and could take all the kids from Drummond. And change the bussing to pick up some of the kids from Glen Tay, which would take the pressure off Perth. Kids would still not be on the bus, for a long period of time. The kids from the north would not be any longer on the bus. But best of all, it would not

high skyscrapers, dulled the sounds and where electric lights diminished the lightning. "No comparison" she would say, "no comparison at all." And with fall in the air, and the onslaught of winter just around the corner, she would prepare for the long cold days ahead, ever mindful that when the snow came, there was a good chance that we could be locked in at home for days while Father worked at clearing the long lane of the drifts. There would be no car until spring. And sometimes it would be too bitterly cold to make it into Renfrew 12 and half miles
away, and on those Saturdays there would be no eggs, chickens, butter and sticky buns delivered door-to-door to add to the egg-money in the sugar bowl in the cupboard. And she would sit at night, at the end of the pine table writing in her diaries, and I knew without a doubt, she would be putting into words her memories of another place and another time.

cost the taxpayers any money. The only thing involved would be moving furniture from one school to the other, which will need to be done in either case. Oh did I mention the addition you want to build to Drummond at a later date that will cost millions to the taxpayers? When you build an addition and put in more washrooms etc. you have to put in a new septic system, which would cost an even larger amount of money. Depending on the number of kids that could be put in Maple Grove – what about the possibility of also putting in French Immersion? Imagine not having to bus all those young kids to Perth for French and what cost that would save in bussing and not getting them up so early? Drummond could be sold and the money could be given to Perth and District Collegiate Institute that is needed. Maple Grove could be sold and would not be near enough to pay for work needed at Drummond Center. Also if Maple Grove closes, most of the parents I have talked to will move their children to Sacred Heart. Imagine the loss in tax dollars to the board if this happens. Oh well, maybe the Catholic board will buy Maple Grove as they will likely need the space for all the new kids. So maybe trustees, you should consider this as well, as we did elect you. Take the time to tour both schools so you can make a well-informed decision. Also members of parliament you need to do the same so you can see that our tax dollars are
more wisely spent. Now, you the taxpayer, need to stand up and say we have had enough of wasting money, and driving our kids for hours to go to school when there is a much cheaper option. If you don’t do this now you could be paying more taxes. Where do you think they get the money to enact all these changes? So go to those meetings and speak out. That is the only way we will get changes. Keep in mind Maple Grove has an after school program for kids run by the community for both the kids from Maple Grove and Sacred Heart. Is this not a good thing that the children will lose? Is it not all about the children, or is it just for looks? Concerned taxpayer, Keith Lalonde Lanark Editor’s Note: There will be a public meeting at Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Nov. 16 where the public will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on the potential school closures. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. Anyone wishing to make a presentation must notify the ARC chair by email five days before the ARC meeting date, including a completed delegation form (available http:// www.ucdsb.on.ca/programs/accomodationreview/Documents/ ARC%20public%20meeting%20delegation%20form.pdf.

Heralded as the community’s official launch into the holiday season, the Christmas Gala has always been a good time filled with some fun memories – and this year will be just the same – but with some good twists. The Gala committee has been in the planning phase for a while now, and along with our widely-popular traditional items (host bar, live music by St. Jimmy’s 4, delicious cheese bar, live auction, memories to last a lifetime, etc.) The Foundation will bring in some new and exciting features to an already exciting night here in Perth. Here are just a few ways they plan to roll it out big this year: Glass and Glitter Bar Get the VIP experience.

Fewer Tickets It may seem counterintuitive to reduce ticket sale numbers. But after last year’s Gala, the Foundation really liked how there was more space and better conversation! So, only 200 tickets will be available for this year. And, heck, it doesn’t hurt that the number ties in well with our region’s 200th anniversary! So, why come to the Christmas Gala? Not only is this event an annual favourite get together, the money raised at the Gala covers the Foundation’s operating costs and ensures they can continue to help locally-based charities through its endowment – a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding that pays out a portion of funds each year in our community. Since 2002, they’ve granted more than $320,000 to community organizations. By the end of this year, they’ll help 17 groups by distributing over $50,000 in grants and scholarships. Use this night as a way to support the PDCF while getting together with good friends and experiencing an unforgettable night. Get Your Tickets!

Throughout the sister’s childhood, if their parents weren’t making music, it was coming through the radio – particularly the Irish radio shows which aired on Saturday and Sunday mornings. There was no escaping the traditional music all around them. “When we first began singing for an audience, these were the songs we sang. It’s what came easiest and most natural, and still does,” said Karen. Some say it’s in their bones to sing, that their voices reflect the very strength of the Atlantic itself. “That’s all we knew growing up,” said Maureen. “Newfoundland is a very unique province and because of this, we have a different perspective of our surroundings.” Maureen, the oldest, is a guitarist and songwriter. The middle-born Karen plays both the tin whistle and flute and does step dancing, while the youngest of the trio, Teresa, also step dances, and plays the bodhran. Last summer the three sisters wowed the crowds at Perth’s Stewart Park Festival with their beautiful harmonies and powerful voices. Now they are set to return to Perth with their East Coast Christmas Show, a show that will take them across Canada before returning home. The Christmas tour has become an annual event for the Ennis Sisters ever since their sophomore album “Christmas on Ennis Road” landed them their own Christmas special on CBC television. A subsequent album “It’s Christmas” earned them Celtic/Traditional Music group of the Year at the Music Newfoundland Awards and their song, “I’ll Be There Christmas Eve” continues to receive widespread airplay throughout the Christmas season. The East Coast Christmas Show consists of the three sisters singing songs from their two Christmas albums, plus traditional Christmas songs, interspersed with stories of Christmas past and present, all served with healthy doses of humour and traditional Irish dancing.

War Amps share a lasting legacy each Remembrance Day "They passed this legacy to us younger amputees and now it's our turn to share their stories, so that we never forget their sacrifices," she says. Although Kamryn is still quite young, her mom, Dale, says it is important for her
daughter to lay a wreath on Remembrance Day. "It builds the foundation for her to understand how much our war veterans gave up for our freedom." Dale adds, "We will always be appreciative of the work of the war amputee veterans and

the message they have left for young amputees like Kamryn to carry into the future. It is for this reason that she lays a wreath every year in their honour, and will do so for many years to come." Submitted by The War Amps
MERIVALE RD
People often can't help but smile when they see six-yearold Kamryn Bond lay a wreath with her friend, Shannon Krasowski, 40, at their local Remembrance Day ceremony. Although an unlikely pair, they are both amputees and are part of a legacy that goes back nearly 100 years. Kamryn is a member, and Shannon a graduate, of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. It was war amputee veterans who created The War Amps in 1918, its Key Tag Service in 1946, and later, the CHAMP Program. Since 1975, thousands of child amputees across Canada have received financial assistance for their artificial limbs through CHAMP and attended regional seminars where they learn about growing up as an amputee. When Kamryn was 11-months-old, both of her legs, right hand, and several fingers on her left hand, were amputated due to a respiratory illness. Shannon's left leg was amputated when she was 13-years-old due to bone cancer. They met three years ago at their local Remembrance Day ceremony. That year, Ka-

Canadians with Crohn’s and colitis are making strides November is Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Month in Canada, a country with one of the highest rates of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in the world. Both are debilitating and lifelong diseases caused by an abnormal response from the body’s immune system. Canadians living with Crohn’s or colitis are making tremendous strides to end the pain and isolation, but there is more to be done. During the month of November, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is focusing on two central themes: access to medications and washroom access. “We have come a long way in increasing public awareness about these debilitating chronic diseases, but
there are still serious issues facing the nearly 250,000 Canadians living with Crohn’s or colitis. During Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Month we are asking Canadians to advocate for ‘No Forced Switch’ and to declare washroom access as a basic human right,” says Mina Mawani, president and CEO of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. Canadians with Crohn’s and colitis need stability. Don’t make them give it up. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada celebrates the introduction of safe, effective, and lower-cost treatment options, as the ultimate goal of any treatment will always be stability, achieved through disease remission. For those who have found a medicine that works for them, a forced switch to an al-
ternative medication may put their stability in jeopardy. For this reason, provincial and territorial governments should follow Nova Scotia’s lead and mandate ‘No Forced Switch’. “It can take many years for a patient to reach stability and this often only comes after a process of trial and error,” says Dr. Brian Bressler. “The choice to switch to an alternative medication should always be made by a doctor in consultation with their patient.” Join thousands of Canadians across the country by asking that doctors and their patients be able to select the treatment option best suited to each patient’s individual circumstances. Use this form to reach out to your local policymakers: action.crohnsand-
colitis.ca Open your doors and declare washroom access a basic human right. Canadians with Crohn’s or colitis live with an invisible condition, and face pain, isolation and missed moments. These chronic diseases can cause 20 or more trips to the washroom a day, and each day, Canadians desperate for public washroom access are turned away. Patients want to be active, to work, to enjoy special moments, and lead normal lives. They can’t do that when they are denied a basic necessity like access to a washroom. “We are asking the Government of Canada to recognize washroom access as a basic human right by including it in the anticipated Canadians
with Disabilities Act,” explains Eric Thomson, Manager, Public Policy and Stakeholder Relations. “Opening up washrooms inside federal government buildings for Canadians with chronic incontinence issues would set a strong example for other levels of government and private businesses to follow.” During the month of November, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada will be meeting with key federal government officials to advocate for the inclusion of washroom access in disability legislation. Canadians will have the opportunity to lend their support to this important issue through an online advocacy campaign launching later in the month. Source: Crohn’s and Colitis Canada

BR&E Alliance business reception promotes commerce in community BY JOSEPH MORIN
Joe.morin@metroland.com
Credibility, enthusiasm and innovation were the catch words at the North Grenville BR&E business reception event last week in Kemptville. The North Grenville BR&E Alliance, a group of 11 business groups promoting business in the municipality, held its sixth annual business reception event at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 26. The evening was an opportunity for members of the North Grenville business community to meet and get to now each other, share common concerns and talk about the challenges they face as they grow their business. The BR&E Alliance used the reception as an opportunity to launch its latest business and retention program 2016-2017BR&E survey with an introduction by Kevin O’Dair. The keynote speaker for the evening was Janet Campbell, owner and founder of Mrs. McGarrigle’s in Merrickville. The main part of the business reception was presented by Matt Gilmer, the economic development co-ordinator with a planning and development, and an update from Terri Devine, the municipality’s economic development officer. North Grenville Coun. Donovan Arnaud kicked off the evening’s presentations. “This is a celebration of small business,” he said. “You are all the life blood of our community.” He explained he believes community business leaders affect so many more people than they realize in a positive way as they go about growing their businesses. A short video was shown on how to detain investment in downtown. Devine said, “Housing starts have exceeding our expectations. It has been a great year so far.” Divine explained the various new projects coming to North Grenville. There is the new public school which is hoping to be up and running in the fall of 2017. Also mentioned was the

The North Grenville BR&E Alliance held their sixth annual business reception on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. The keynote speaker was Janet Campbell the founder and owner of the award winning Mrs. McGarrigles in Merrickville. planned arrival of a KFC franchise and the new retirement home along County Road 43. O’Dair introduced the new BR&E survey. He explained that on average 75 to 90 per cent of new jobs came from exciting businesses. “Local business owners have a vested interest in the community,” he said. He explained that business retention and expansion was an actionorientated, community based and volunteer driven economic tool to encourage the growth and stability of local businesses. The short term goals of the BR&E include building relationships with the existing business, building capacity between organizations, identifying positive and negative attributes, address immediate concerns, collect data and create a strategic action plan.
O’Dair said,” You can participate in the BR&E survey as a volunteer interviewer, by recruiting other volunteers, join the BR&E task force team, put names forward as potential business to be interviewed, by promoting the project, recommend businesses to be interviewed and supporting the project within the community.” For more information about the Business Retention and Expansion Project 2016-2017 call Kevin O’Dair at 613 258 9569 ext 119. Or email him at klodair@northgrenville.on.ca. Janet Campbell the owner and founder of Mrs. McGarrigles was the keynote speaker. She stressed three main themes to follow that result in a successful business venture. She said integrity, innovation and sound financial management were crucial to growing a business.
“This is your bread and butter. You have to earn your customers’ respect,” she said. She explained her business and staff have been involved in many community projects and charitable events. “We have tried to make Merrickville a destination.” Campbell said it is easier to start a business these days but at the same time challenging. “Sometimes you might be tempted to compromise but you should not compromise the product you have made.” She said she is proud of the 3,000 jars of product per week that she and her staff put out. “We still make everything by hand,” she said. She cautioned business owners to not make the mistake of putting all of their eggs in one basket. On the topic of innovation, she
asked business owners to allow themselves to embrace change. “If you try something that doesn’t work you can always change it back tomorrow,” said Campbell. She encourage business owners to have a vision and make sure to share that vision with their staff. “Keep up with technology and always work to improve customer relations.” Understanding your financial reality is also important, she noted. “We all want to increase sales,” she said. “The complexity of your financial information grows as your business grows.” She suggested getting trusted financial advisors to help you instead of trying to do everything yourself. “You need someone you can trust and who understands what the numbers mean.” Campbell said you need to have a sound financial reputation. The sixth annual BR&E Alliance Business Reception was a resounding success by all accounts. The reception is a signature event for the BR& E Alliance and provides the opportunity to recognize the amazing contributions that the business community makes each and every day. This region is home to thousands of small businesses from the local baker to the largest truck dealership in Ontario. They are the life blood of these communities and the entrepreneurs are what drives the economy. A thank you was extended to small business owners for their continued dedication, passion and commitment to business and to their community. The alliance also launched its 20162017 BR+E Seminar Series. Registration is now open at www.northgrenvillebusiness.com. The dates and topics are as follows: • Nov. 16, Business Planning; • Jan. 25, Social Media Marketing for Business; and, • March 22, Developing a Marketing Plan. All of the seminars are held at at Grenville Mutual Insurance Company, 380 Colonnade Drive, in Kemptville.

Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) focuses on the importance of paying attention to how gambling makes you feel during Problem Gambling Prevention Week, which runs in the Counties of Frontenac, Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry from Oct. 31 to Nov. 6. Mixed feelings about your gambling, such as guilt, anxiety, or frustration, are important early warning signals. According to the RGC, listening to yourself and knowing the early signs are essential to detecting and dealing with a potential gambling problem – before it becomes serious. RGC research shows that approximately 3.4 per cent of Ontarians have a moderate to severe gambling problem. This means that about 11,500 adults in the Counties of Frontenac, Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry are estimated to be negatively impacted. Many of these people think they will win big. The truth is that some will gamble to the point that they damage their finances, relationships
and health. Problem gambling can be financially and emotionally devastating for the individual involved and the most important people in their lives. During Problem Gambling Prevention Week, RGC is urging people to listen carefully to how they feel about their gambling and creating awareness of the emotional and behavioural warning signs. The week-long educational campaign includes tips on how people can take direct action to protect themselves and get free, confidential help. Early signals include: · Feeling guilty, anxious, frustrated or worried about your gambling; · Thinking or talking more than usual about gambling; · Gambling more to win back losses; · Experiencing extreme highs from gambling wins and extreme lows from gambling losses; and, · Getting irritated more easily or having less patience when dealing with normal, everyday activities. “When gambling becomes a source of worry or stress, it’s important to listen to yourself,” says Jon Kelly, CEO,
of RGC. “Ignoring changing feelings potentially puts both you and the people you care about at risk.” The good news is that paying attention to how you feel about your gambling is the first step to early detection of a potential gambling problem. For more about the emotional and behavioural signs to watch for and how to protect yourself, go to www. knowthesigns.ca.

Lombardy among communities to participate in 150th celebration gardens for Canada’s birthday Thanks to the Canadian Garden Council and a generous donation from Vesey’s Bulbs of PEI, 150 communities and organizations from coast to coast have been selected to receive a spectacular 150th Celebration Garden. Each garden consists of 1,000 red and white tulip bulbs to be planted this fall and bloom next spring just in time to say “Happy Birthday to Our Home and Native Land.” The tulip is an international symbol of friendship and of spring. For Canadians, especially, the tulip is a symbol of our national ethos of kindness and friendship, witnessed, in particular, by our providing refuge to the Dutch Royal family during the Second World War. Alexander Reford, president of the Canadian Garden Council said, “Se-
lecting successful applicants was a difficult task for our jury as we received more than 400 applications for these special gardens, more than we ever expected. Gardens play a significant role in Canadian culture and heritage and we are delighted that these 150th Celebration Gardens commemorate who we are as Canadians and how recipient communities have played a role in defining, developing and growing Canada’s international reputation as a nation of friends.” John Barrett, director of sales, marketing & development for Vesey’s Bulbs said, “Considering that the creation of Canada was a result of the Fathers of Confederation meeting in PEI, and we are a PEI-based company, we see the 150th Celebration Garden program as a great opportunity with which to celebrate the country’s
sesquicentennial. It is our pleasure to contribute more than 150,000 red and white tulip bulbs to 150th Anniversary festivities across the country.” The 150th Celebration Gardens will be featured on the Canada’s Garden Route website www.canadasgardenroute.ca. In Lanark County, a celebration garden will be planted by the Lombardy Agricultural Society. The Canadian Garden Council thanks Vesey’s Bulbs for their special gift and all those that made this program possible: Canada Post, The Niagara Parks Commission, Canadian Nursery Landscape Association, Garden Making Magazine, Enterprise Canada, Gardens BC, Québec Gardens’ Association and the Ontario Garden Council.

• Make a list of any medication you take (prescribed and over-the-counter), and keep it up-to-date. Bring it with you whenever you meet with a health professional. • Get all of your medication from the same pharmacy and consult your pharmacist before starting a new treatment. Whether or not you have a prescription, it’s important to make sure that new medicine won’t interact with anything that you’re currently taking. • Never share your prescription medication with others, and never take someone else’s medication. • Always take your medication as prescribed at the times recommended for the entire duration of your prescription.
We will dispose of your expired or unused medications

• Ask your pharmacist about anything you’re unsure of regarding your medication, such as proper dosage and possible side effects, and read the printout that you’re given when your medicine is dispensed. • Do whatever it takes to remember to take your medication (buy a pill box, set reminders for yourself, etc.) If you are in charge of administering an elderly person’s medication, pay close attention to the task at hand. The smallest mistake could have dire consequences.

1. Make sure that your medications don’t have any side effects that might affect your ability to drive. 2. Always make sure that your car’s windshield and back window are clean. 3. Maintain a safety distance well above the two-second minimum that is generally recommended, and slow down whenever it rains, snows, and when the road is slippery. 4. Avoid driving long distances when possible. 5. Remain concentrated at all times, and don’t drive when you’re upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol or medication. 6. Plan your routes and choose roads that you know well, taking care to avoid rush-hour traffic and fast lanes. 7. Drive during the day, and avoid driving during periods of reduced visibility such as dawn or dusk. 8. Always wear your hearing aid if you have one, and minimize any background noise (turn down the radio, for instance). 9. Pay attention to your surroundings so as to have a general idea of the traffic conditions around you, and keep an eye out for cyclists, pedestrians and parked cars. 10. Check your blind spot more than once before you turn or change lanes. 11. Never assume that you have the right of way. 12. Consider taking a refresher driving course.

Celebrate Ontario 2017 now accepting applications for festival, event grants Ontario is encouraging festival and event organizers across the province to apply for Celebrate Ontario 2017 funding. Celebrate Ontario is a grant program that makes it easier for festival and event organizers to offer new and improved experiences that attract more tourists and increase visitor spending. Last year, the program supported 200 festivals and events across the province, boosting local economies. For 2017, organizers of existing large festivals and events may now apply for multi-year funding. Applicants are also encour-
aged to add enhancements that celebrate or commemorate Canada’s or Ontario’s 150th anniversary. The deadline to apply for Celebrate Ontario 2017 is Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. Investing in festivals and events across the province is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to highquality college and university
education. The plan is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, roads, bridges and transit in Ontario’s history and is investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement. “I’m excited and proud that our government continues to support a diverse range of festivals and events across Ontario,” stated Eleanor McMahon, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

Fluid changes among newest products offered through some service departments "Hi Brian, I purchased a new Lexus ES350 in fall of 2014, serviced by my dealer in spring 2015, and had the oil changed locally in the summer of 2016. Then for personal reasons I took it to another local dealership for fall servicing. They recommended changing the oil, cabin and engine filters, checking all fluids including changing the brake fluid! I have been driving for over 70 years and have never been told to change the brake fluid, (it was quite expensive). What is your opinion on that last item? Did they con an old man? I would value your opinion. By the way the cost of total servicing was just over $500. Thanking you in advance." Yours respectfully, JH Brake fluid changes are among the newest products that many service departments are offering these days along with transmission flushes, power steering fluid flushes, coolant flushes, injection cleaning services, etc. Some of the suppliers of these chemicals offer warranties on the vehicle parts they are involved with
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
that go well beyond the carmaker's original coverage. These plans are the real value compared to simply the exchange of fluids. In the case of brake fluid, because it's a mineral oil that runs at different temperatures than the outside air, condensation can collect on the outside of steel brake lines leading to corrosion and leaks. This process usually takes four to seven years for the average Canadian vehicle; so changing your brake fluid now on a 2014 model is rather early. If the fluid exchange didn't come with extended warranty on the brake calipers, lines, and abs components, it wasn't worth the money you spent. Even with the value of these extended warranties, you need to consider how much longer your vehicle will be on the road before agreeing to purchase any of these services. "Hi Brian, My reason for contacting you
deals with the in-service date of a car. With regards to a dealer demonstrator vehicle should the in-service date start with the retail date or the date registered as a demo? I bought my car from an area Hyundai dealer in July 2013 knowing that it had been a demonstrator. However, on the purchase agreement, there is a box, which says that "If Manufacturer Warranty Applicable Time Is Measured From" "23/03/12" - see attached copy. At the time of purchase, I did ask if this was to be the in-service date and was told "yes." Initially, after a major warranty engine repair, I was told by another closer dealer that the warranty would be extended because of the engine repair. But in following up with Hyundai, I was told that they would not extend the warranty for that engine model. To create greater concern, I was told that the in-serve date was Oct. 11, 2011. I have been in communication with my selling dealer's general manager about the two different dates. I asked that he send me a letter (something in writing) stating that the inservice date was Oct. 11, 2011 since I did not have it in writing. He did send me an email stating that his dealership would honour
the manufacturer's warranty until March 22, 2017, but only if I took the car there for warranty repairs. Is this a reasonable offer on their part?" LB Yes, Hyundai is correct that inservice dates for demos are measured from the time the vehicles are first registered as demos by the retailer and not the later date when it is sold to a customer. No matter what a dealership may have told you, Hyundai (nor any other car-maker) will change that rule. That leaves you with the only option of taking your selling dealer's offer to assume the liability for any warranty issues that may arise until March 2017. Based on their written offer to you and your bill of sale, they are pretty much on the hook anyway. However if you and this dealership ever come to disagreement with an interpretation of the warranty, Hyundai Canada won't be of any help and you may end up seeking your own legal redress. I mentioned in an earlier column this year that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the US had started rating headlamp performance on new vehicles with a series of track and road tests. In the institute's evaluations, engineers measure how far light is pro-
jected from a vehicle's low beams and high beams as the vehicle travels straight and on curves. Glare from low beams for oncoming drivers is also measured. Their most recent posts cover pick-up trucks and with these vehicles' high lamp-height it would be hard to imagine how they would rate poorly but of all the trucks tested only the 2017 Honda Ridgeline scored a 'good' performance level. The 2016-2017 GMC got an 'acceptable' score, the 2017 Nissan Titan and 2016 Ram 1500 received 'marginal' ratings and every other model tested was deemed by the IIHS to have 'poor' headlamps. You can find the entire report at iihs.org by clicking on the 'news' tab. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing 'Question for the Car Counselor' on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Policing the police: Seeking a new way Angry drivers have a higher risk of BY NEVIL HUNT
nevil.hunt@metroland.com
One of the province’s most delicate responsibilities is investigating its own police officers. The process of digging into police action – or inaction – requires investigative skills and investigators who are independent from the officers under the microscope. To ensure public faith in the system, independence is key. Ontario is reviewing the way police oversight is conducted, and Justice Michael Tulloch is travelling across the province to gather ideas from the public and concerned groups. Tulloch introduced a public discussion in Ottawa on Oct. 26 by explaining the scope of his work – dubbed the independent police oversight review. “I am free to critically examine how these oversight bodies operate,” Tulloch told a group of more than 50 people gathered at the Wabano Centre on Montreal Road. “I can assure you that, in this process, you will be heard.” Tulloch is tasked with writing a report and making recommendations to Ontario’s attorney general on how to improve transparency and accountability of the oversight bodies. Tulloch is scheduled to issue his report on March 31, 2017. Among the Ottawa attendees was Matt Cicero of Vanier, who said he was badly beaten by Ottawa police about 20 years ago, when he was in his early 20s. Cicero said he wasn’t complying with officers’ orders at the time, but said officers went too far when they stripped off his clothes and pepper sprayed him before dragging him into a cell.
“I still have the scars,” Cicero said. He said the incident left him with a lack of trust for police. He decided to attend the oversight review after speaking with people at a community conference about the death of Abdirahman Abdi. The 37-year-old Ottawa man died after an encounter with Ottawa police in July, and the SIU is currently investigating that case. Cicero said he’d like to see the province “make SIU reports available to everyone.” Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi – who is Ontario’s attorney general – said he attended the review meeting strictly as a local MPP, as he is, in effect, Tulloch’s boss. “The report will come to me with policy recommendations,” Naqvi said of Tulloch’s work. Naqvi said the idea of a national unit to investigate police would require a wider conversation, and he expressed support for a continuing provincial mandate. “I think it’s better if it’s local in nature, so to speak,” he said of the provincial management of oversight. On the possibility of hiring oversight investigators who are not former police officers, Naqvi avoided prejudging anything Tulloch may put in his report. “It’s exactly that kind of thing we’re looking to Justice Tulloch for his recommendations,” he said.Naqvi said Ontario is a leader among North American jurisdictions when it comes to the way police actions are investigated. “Yet we still think we can do better,” Naqvi said. To send comments about police oversight in Ontario to Tulloch, visit www.policeoversightreview.ca before Nov. 30.
collision, new CAMH research shows Angry, aggressive drivers have much higher odds of being in a motor vehicle collision than those who don’t get angry while driving, a new study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) shows. “Even minor aggression, such as swearing, yelling or making rude gestures, can increase the risk of a collision,” says lead author Dr. Christine Wickens, scientist in CAMH’s Institute for Mental Health Policy Research. The study was published in Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. Nearly one-third of Ontario drivers reported acts of minor aggression. Drivers who said they had also made threats, attempted or succeeded in damaging another car or hurting someone, had the highest odds of collision – 78 per cent higher than those whose aggression was considered minor. This risk is comparable to those who use cannabis and drive, Dr. Wickens notes, and represents two per cent of Ontarians. Study findings were drawn from the CAMH Monitor, an ongoing survey of Ontario adults’ mental health and risk behaviours, using responses from 12,830 people between 2002 and 2009. While past research has explored the relationship between aggression and collisions, this is one of the largest population-level studies to analyze this association. Just under eight per cent of Ontarians reported having a car collision in the previous year. This group was analyzed in relation to their reported aggressive behaviour, while controlling for other factors that could increase the risk of

collision such as age, sex, cannabis or alcohol use and other factors. It was striking how the risk of collision rose as the levels of aggression increased, says Dr. Wickens. People who reported no drivingrelated aggression had the lowest odds of collision, with increasing risk among those who had minor aggression, and the highest risk of all among those who reported both minor and more serious aggression. “The results clearly show that aggression is related to the risk of collision,” says Dr. Wickens. While the study doesn’t show that specific cases of anger directly caused a collision, the strong association suggests these drivers may have a greater chance of a collision because they either drive more aggressively or are distracted by their anger from other hazards on the road. “Reducing driver anger and aggression would potentially reduce the risk of collisions,” says Dr. Wickens. There are well established approaches to manage stress and anger, ranging from deep breathing techniques and listening to music to cognitive anger management programs. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital and a world leading research centre in this field. CAMH combines clinical care, research, education, policy development and health promotion to help transform the lives of people affected by mental illness and addiction.

A passion for
When hunting is synonymous with technological innovation Over the past few years, a constant stream of new products using the latest technologies has been developed for hunters. These include devices for all types of hunting or related areas. Needless to say, we’ve come a long way since hunters only had compasses or carved duck decoys as tools to help them track down or attract game. Now a hunting trip can begin at home by using a computer to locate and analyze hunting grounds. Hunters can also visit their hunting grounds and subsequently transfer data collected using a GPS to maps on their computers. This lets hunters become familiar with their territory so they can exploit strategic sectors. Astute hunters can also use motion-activated trail cameras to take photographs of the game in their territory. These devices can even transmit photos directly to a remote computer using cellphone radio waves.
But that’s not all. Electronic game calls are now available for those who aren’t proficient enough in the art of calling game animals. And for those whose hearing is starting to deteriorate, there are also personal sound amplification devices that can be worn in the ear. Of course the most recent innovations are related to the virtual world. After all, it isn’t surprising that more and more mobile apps are available to hunters, including some for checking current hunting regulations.
These days there are lots of technological tools to help hunters.
Hunting: the best tool for managing animal populations create problems for farmers and cause thousands of road collisions every year, and snow geese, whose flocks can annihilate a crop when they land in farmers’ fields. These types of events generate enormous social costs, particularly for car insurers and farmers. Hunting is scientifically re cognized as the best management tool available in helping to control these phenomena. The method has additional benefits as well.
Apart from its recreational pleasures, hunting plays an important role in controlling animal populations, especially where rural and urban areas meet. This management role is very important considering that the natural landscape has changed dramatically since the early days of colonization.
• There is no cost attached to governments or to individual landowners who allow hunting. • Hunting quotas can be adjusted according to population size. • It creates significant economic benefits in all regions, including major urban centres. • No other method of animal population control is as effective as hunting.
Indeed, the development of urban and agricultural zones has created favourable biological conditions for many animal species, to the point where many have become overpopulated. Two examples of animal popula- Hunters believe that their sport tions that have become too numer- is an activity that society should ous are the white-tailed deer, which support.

Historic World Series between Cubs, Indians has been fun to follow I realize how popular the Toronto Blue Jays have become and that is wonderful for them and for the future of baseball in Canada which, up until Jays’ recent playoff runs, had clearly been flagging. Sports fans love a winner and that has been a big factor in the Toronto team’s surging popularity. I was shocked to find that people I didn’t think gave a hoot about team sports of any kind were hanging on every pitch. That was especially true during last fall’s competitive American League Championship Series (ALCS) against Kansas City Royals and last month’s disappointing showdown with Cleveland Indians. In October 2015 Jays were beaten by a red-hot Kansas City team who went on to claim only the second World Series title in club history. Most recently, against Cleveland, Toronto bats were as ice cold as the wintry winds that will soon blow through our part of the world. Blue Jays just plain stopped hitting, although full credit has to go to an injury-riddled Indians’ pitching staff that, collectively, came through in style at just the right time. But how quickly we forget! As soon as Blue Jays flew south for the winter so too did the excitement I had been hearing and seeing everywhere about baseball. Up until Game 5 of this year’s ALCS, virtually every conversation I had on the street, in the
Reflections By Jeff maguire
supermarket or in the pub included a chat about Jays and their second consecutive post season run. It was amazing how many people were following the ball club’s success. After the shutout loss in the fifth game at Rogers Centre there was nothing but stony silence. I didn’t hear so much as a peep from those I know the week after Cleveland officially booked their place in the World Series. That despite the fact they are now embroiled in an historic series against the National League (NL) Chicago Cubs. Cleveland hasn’t won baseball’s biggest prize since 1948 while Cubs’ drought – the longest in the sport – goes all the way back to 1908. An incredible 108 years! As a lifelong baseball fan the sudden downturn in interest is disappointing. It conjures images of fair weather fans and people who really aren’t that interested in the sport itself. As for me, it wasn’t difficult to shift allegiance and cheer for Cleveland during the World Series that began a
week ago Tuesday. For one thing I have a tendency to support underdogs and heading into the “Fall Classic” the NL champion Cubs were heavy favourites. But going into Game 5 of the series Sunday night in Chicago they had their backs firmly against the wall, trailing the surprising Indians 3-1 in games in the best-of-seven. Cubs managed to eke out a 3-2 victory, forcing the series back to Cleveland for a sixth game Tuesday and possibly a seventh and deciding contest last night. Unfortunately because of newspaper production deadlines I can’t comment on the final result this week! There are a number of reasons I decided to support Cleveland this time around. As a fan of the Detroit Tigers and the Blue Jays my main baseball focus these days is the American League (AL). When Montreal Expos were supplanted and ended up in Washington D.C. my interest in the National League (NL) quickly waned. No, I’m definitely not a Washington fan. Call it sour grapes if you like! Bested Detroit Despite the fact Cleveland bested Detroit in the AL Central Division this season I still have to stick with the Indians. Tigers simply couldn’t match the Tribe in their many head-to-head meetings this regular season. It was Detroit’s inability to beat Cleveland
that left them on the outside looking in when the Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs began in early October. Despite their ineptitude versus Indians the second place Tigers narrowly missed a wild-card playoff berth. All things considered, my main reason for supporting the Indians in this World Series is a personal one. My late father Howard was a huge fan of the team. Dad passed away two years ago this month, age 84. He would have been so thrilled to see Cleveland in the World Series, especially against the Chicago Cubs. My father was no stranger to the Cubs. In retirement he was among the first people in this region to invest in a satellite dish. That was mainly so he could watch his favourite sport baseball. In those days Chicago superstation WGN carried every Cubs’ game. During the early 1990s it seemed that every time I visited my parents’ home, during the baseball season, Dad was watching a Cubs’ game beamed to him via satellite. He was also a huge fan of the late Harry Caray, the colourful radio/TV announcer who spent the last 16 years of his illustrious career in Cubs’ broadcast booth. Harry died in 1998, age 83. My father collected a lot of baseball memorabilia over the years and he was especially proud of the items he retained relative to Cleveland Indians. Those souvenirs are now safely in

the hands of his grandson Craig (my son), who is a bigger, more knowledgeable baseball fan than either his Dad or his Grand-dad. My father’s interest in Cleveland baseball went back to the 1940s when Indians were an AL powerhouse. In 1948, under the leadership of playing manager Lou Boudreau (he won the AL Most Valuable Player award that season) Cleveland won the World Series. Besides outstanding shortstop Boudreau the championship Indians included such outstanding players as pitchers Bob Feller, Bob Lemon and colourful Leroy ‘Satchel’ Paige along with outfielder Larry Doby and catcher Jim Hegan. Doby, an outstanding Black athlete, was the second player to break baseball’s colour barrier, following in the footsteps of the great Jackie Robinson. Doby also played part of the 1959 season in Detroit which, until the Canadian teams came along, was my Dad’s second favourite MLB team. My father often talked about the trip he and my mother made in 1950 to see her parents in Chatham, Ontario. It was the summer after they were married. They decided to travel via Cleveland where my Dad planned to purchase tickets for an Indians’ game. They would then continue around the south shore of Lake Erie to Detroit and on to Chatham to visit her family. See REFLECTIONS page 33

Slight delay My parents were travelling in their 1941 Chevrolet Deluxe. They made it safely through Upstate New York. But just west of Erie, Pennsylvania the car packed it in. A carburetor problem! It was Sunday, most places were closed and it looked like they were stranded, with little chance of making it to Cleveland for the game. The Indians were completing a home stand that day. A kindly motorist drove them back to a service station which, fortunately for them, was located beside the operator’s house. His business was shuttered Sundays. But on hearing their plight he took my father in his tow truck to retrieve the car. My Mum stayed with the chap’s wife and children. An expert mechanic the man soon had them back on the road. They arrived in Cleveland partway through the first game of a doubleheader. There was no problem getting seats. Cavernous old Municipal Stadium seated 78,000 for baseball. They enjoyed the remainder of Game 1 and watched the entire nightcap. Dad vividly recalled how wonderful it was to watch his team play in person while drinking a tall, cold beer – for 10 cents a glass! Incidentally Municipal Stadium was demolished in 1996 to make way for FirstEnergy Stadium the current
home of Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. The Indians play in Progressive Field, a purpose built stadium they first occupied in 1993. The current Cleveland-Chicago showdown is a big one because no matter who wins they will break a lengthy World Series dry spell. Cubs’ fans have been particularly rabid in trying to help push their team to the title! The series features two of the best managers in baseball. Chicago skipper Joe Maddon, who is in just his second season with the team, is arguably the best manager in the game. Maddon is a thinker who, win or lose, always gets the best from his players. Cleveland bench boss Terry Francona (the former Montreal Expos’ star) is my personal pick as the best manager in the game today. Francona already has one World Series title under his belt. In 2004 he guided Boston Red Sox to their first trophy since 1918. I was furious when Detroit passed Francona over in 2013 and he went to division rival Cleveland instead. But heading into this week I was looking forward to Halloween with my grandchildren. However Tuesday night and possibly Wednesday too were reserved for watching baseball on TV and seeing an historic outcome. No matter which team won it has been a good year for the grand old game!

Vitamin D Day kicks off Vitamin D Awareness Month With Canadian Vitamin D levels dropping year after year, the Vitamin D Society is kicking off its eighth annual Vitamin D Awareness Month with Vitamin D Day on Nov. 2 to help spread the message across the country. The Vitamin D Society is using the month to bring vitamin D deficiency to light for Canadians who may not understand the affects that a lack of vitamin D can have on the human body. “Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a higher risk of serious diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and others,” says Dr. Gerry Schwalfenberg, Scientific Advisor for the Vitamin D Society and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta. “The month of November is crucial for Canadians because it is the start of our vitamin D winter. The low angle of the sun means that sunlight no longer produces vitamin D in our skin, therefore it’s important to examine your vitamin D levels to ensure your body isn’t at risk.”
Approximately 12 million Canadians do not meet vitamin D blood level requirements of 50 nmol/L set by Health Canada and the Institute of Medicine. This figure rises to 14 million —40 per cent of us — during winter months. The Vitamin D Society recommends that Canadians raise their mean level of vitamin D higher, to at least 100 nmol/L year-round to receive the full benefits of the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D Day is a chance for Canadians to join the pledge to increase vitamin D levels. “People wonder why so many Canadians are vitamin D deficient and it’s simple really. We mainly get vitamin D from non-burning sun exposure, but Canadians are now living indoor lifestyles more than ever, even in the summer,” says Perry Holman, Executive Director for the Vitamin D Society. “When we avoid the sun, our vitamin D levels are going to be much lower than they should be. With winter fast approaching, and Canadians spending more time indoors, it’s vital that everyone
take action to ensure their vitamin D levels don’t drop until it’s nice enough to get back outside and enjoy the sun.” For vitamin D intake during winter months, the Vitamin D Society recommends Canadians use artificial UVB sources or supplements. When spring returns, Canadians can go back to getting their vitamin D from non-burning exposure to the sun. Canadians can get their vitamin D levels checked by their physicians, or online, through a simple 25(OH)D blood test to ensure they aren’t deficient. Make sure your score is between 100-150 nmol/L.

Beckwith Township chief administrative officer Cynthia Moyle retires BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
It was a testament to Cynthia Moyle’s leadership, work ethic and her 11-plus-year reign as chief administrative officer (CAO) for Beckwith Township. Eighty-five people gathered at Stonefields Event Destination in Beckwith on Thursday, Oct. 27 to celebrate the woman who bid adieu to the position and entered into retirement on Monday, Oct. 31. The evening’s emcee, Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd thanked Moyle for her years of dedication. He called her a true professional and loyal to a fault. “She never blamed council for anything,” Kidd said, “and she was always a shoulder to lean on for staff – like a den mother. We have a good team in Beckwith Township and Cynthia was and is a big part of it.” Moyle began her memorable municipal career with the Town of Perth before moving on to Lanark County and Beckwith. “The council that hired Cynthia in 2005 is still the council of today,” Kidd noted, “and we have achieved so much in the last 11 years with her.” Highlights include: Beckwith Recreation Complex; water supply program; multi-purpose sports field; reconstruction of the township’s major streets (9th Line, 7th Line, 10th Line and Scotch Corners Road); fire hall addition; three municipal elections; and 200th anniversary. “We came up with some good ideas,

A retirement party was held at Stonefields Event Destination on Oct. 27 for Beckwith Township chief administrative officer Cynthia Moyle. Moyle is saying goodbye to the municipality after more than 11 years on the job. Above: Moyle unwraps her going away presents from the township, getting a little help from deputy mayor Sharon Mousseau, left, and Coun. Faye Campbell. Above right: Moyle delivers a heartfelt speech to party goers. but Cynthia had to find a way for us to do them, and she had to find out where the money was going to come from,” Kidd said. “She came through every time.” Cynthia’s youngest daughter, Whitney Moyle-Last stood up to say a few words. “We are here to celebrate all the
years my mom has dedicated to Beckwith Township,” Moyle-Last said. “I remember from a young age you always demonstrated to us how important it was to work hard, and with dedication you can achieve great things.” Moyle-Last called her mother a true inspiration and someone who
makes the entire family proud. “Congratulations, Mom! I love you!” Municipal auditor Howard Allan of Allan Chartered Accountants roasted Moyle. “This is not costing us anything tonight,” Kidd teased. Allan noted Moyle’s illustrious municipal career, and he called her very reserved and gracious. “You are a nice person, but you are married to a biker,” Allan said. “There is a side to you that I am really concerned about. “I am not sure what you are going to do...maybe run for politics...come back and haunt the people you used to work for,” he joked. After a funny tale involving Moyle, a game of golf and a ground hog, Allan got serious. “Overall, I want to say my staff and I enjoyed a professional relation-
ship with you over the years,” he said. “We appreciated your dedication and service.” Adding to the night’s well wishes were councillors Brian Dowdall and Faye Campbell as well as deputy reeve Sharon Mousseau. Coun. Tim Campbell was home sick. Dowdall highlighted Moyle’s “wonderful nature, expertise, commitment and impact. Cynthia, you have left a remarkable legacy behind,” he said, “and you are leaving Beckwith a better place.” Moyle was called a colleague, friend, leader and someone to pass a thought by. “We will miss you,” Dowdall said. “Remember us fondly, and may the years that lie ahead be filled with joy and laughter and even more dreams achieved.” Receiving much laughter and applause was a poem Faye comprised about Moyle. “Faye is a hard act to follow,” Mousseau said. Getting emotional, the deputy reeve thanked Moyle for the endless support she afforded council. “You supported council no matter what,” Mousseau stressed. “We were always a huge priority for you. On behalf of Moyle, Kidd acknowledged the past and present Lanark County wardens in attendance: Gordon Patterson, Ormand Giles, Arnold Campbell, Aubrey Churchill, Mousseau and Gail Code. Kidd is also a past warden. See MOYLE page A/CP2

County endorses draft subdivision plans for Carleton Place’s Pegasus subdivision BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Lanark County’s economic development committee has finally approved a draft plan of subdivision for the Pegasus subdivision project after it was first introduced in 2009. The matter was discussed during the committee’s most recent meeting Oct. 26 in Perth. The subdivision will encompass 61 acres of property between Cavanagh Road and Highway 7, just off of McNeely Avenue. A total of 405 units are planned, a mix of 135 lots for single-detached dwellings, 34 lots for 68 semidetached homes, as well as 45 blocks for 202 townhouse units. “This is one of the largest files I’ve had to deal with since
providing municipal plan review services for the county,” said Kevin Mooder, senior project manager with Jp2g Consulting. “...It’s a fairly significant mix of residential types.” Mooder stated the development has gone through many changes since being introduced back in March of 2009. At that time, more than 500 residential units were being suggested but it was delayed because additional information was needed to address stormwater management, access, species at risk, lot layout and density. The draft plan was revised and submitted back to the municipality in August 2012, with 527 units planned. A subsequent public meeting was held by the Town of Carleton Place in November of that year to
gather public comments. Mooder noted in June 2014, a further revised plan was submitted to Carleton Place proposing 442 units and another in November 2015, which was the final draft plan. From April to June 2016, updated reports on a stormwater management pond and an environmental impact statement were obtained. “There were a number of complicated servicing issues, pertaining to roads, parking, noise, environmental impact and streetscaping,” Mooder stated. Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) was concerned about whether stormwater runoff from the development would flow into his township. “Every time (with development), this is a problem and it’s
just going to be running on to private land,” he stated. “That would be a Ministry of Environment (MOE) responsibility at the end of the day, right?” interjected Coun.

Jamie Law (left) and Frank LeBlanc direct Ralph Shaw (in the tractor off camera) as he lowers a giant pumpkin onto a trailer at the Shaw farm, west of Carleton Place, last Tuesday, Oct. 25. The pumpkin was bound for Carleton Place’s sister city Franklin, Tennessee. LeBlanc is a longtime member of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee. Local realtor Shaw, a past committee member, continues to manage the annual Sister City pumpkin project. Law, a friend of the committee, drove the pumpkin south for a second straight year. The photo was taken just prior to Law’s marathon, 20-hour drive to Middle Tennessee. Franklin is a growing suburb of Nashville. Carleton Place has a long-standing tradition of supplying a huge pumpkin for the American city’s annual ‘Pumpkinfest’ that was held on Saturday, Oct. 29. This year’s gigantic gift weighed in at 1,407 pounds. Law, who operates Law and Orders Restaurant in Innisville, is the brother-in-law of Pembroke born country singer Jason Blaine who now works and lives in Nashville, the world country music capital.

Almonte resident $100,000 Acknowledge Exceptional. richer after Instant Crossword win Edward Kutkewich of Almonte is celebrating after winning the $100,000 top prize with INSTANT CROSSWORD TRIPLER. “INSTANT CROSSWORD TRIPLER is one of my favourite scratch games,” shared Kutkewich while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where he picked up his winnings. “After scratching my ticket, I checked and re-checked it several times. I also wrote down the words I revealed on a piece of paper and counted again to be sure I wasn’t seeing things.” The following day, Kutke-
wich went to the store and used the ticket checker. “I scanned my ticket and couldn’t believe I won. I gave the ticket to the retailer who validated it and then OLG called the store to speak with me.” The married grandfather says this is the first time he has ever won a large sum of money. “As an extra treat, when I told my daughter and son-in-law that my wife and I were coming to Toronto to claim the prize, they surprised us with tickets to watch a sporting event.” Kutkewich is already making plans for his windfall.
“This win means more travel. I love my family. My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters are very special to us so will definitely do something special for them. Maybe help them finish their basement or help with the landscaping,” he concluded. INSTANT CROSSWORD TRIPLER is available for $5 a play and the top prize is $100,000. Odds of winning a prize are 1 in 3.70. The winning ticket was purchased at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer on Ottawa Street in Almonte.

ONTARIO JUNIOR CITIZEN AWARDS
OPINION
Connected to your community
Backbone of the community The vitality of local businesses should never be underestimated. They are true community partners and contribute much to our area economies and perhaps aren’t recognized as often as they should be. I recently had the opportunity to see businesses in both Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place get their due. First up was the inaugural Longstanding Business Recognition Evening at Almonte Old Town Hall Oct. 20. If anyone doubted the importance a business can play in a community, you only needed to see how long some of these have been in business. Award recognition began at 25 years and went all the way up past 65 years. Sixty-five years! If you’ve been in business for 65 years, you are no longer just simply a furniture store or barber, you’re a community institution. You’re a place people have come to rely on to be there – where they can get excellent customer service with a smile. I applaud the municipality, Coun. Jill McCubbin and community economic development committee for spearheading this new event. I know there will be a lengthy list of businesses to honour for many years to come. The next evening, I was pleased to attend the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce’s Business
ASHLEY KULP The Usual Kulprit Awards of Excellence gala with my Metroland colleagues, Tara Gesner and Sharon Sinfield. Held at Stonefields Event Destination, another jewel of Lanark County, this evening paid tribute to the movers and shakers in Carleton Place and area, who were nominated for awards by their peers. It was nice to see Stalwart Brewing Company, which just opened its doors last year, win Entrepreneur of the Year honours, while a true fixture in the history of Carleton Place, the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited, was named Business of the Year. Many of these business owners are true members of the community. After they lock their doors each day, their work isn’t done. They are out there donating their time to help make our municipalities a better place, volunteering with organizations or events. They contribute to the economic health of our towns and provide much-needed jobs. The recognition for all of their hard work is well deserved.
Tulip planting time
Submitted photo
It was a cold and blustery Tuesday morning, Oct. 25 when Captain Hooper IODE members Barbara Nauss, left, and Peggy Gallipeau started planting tulips for next season in St. James Park. The IODE supplied the Canada 150 tulips to the Town of Carleton Place to prepare for their upcoming Canada 150 celebrations in 2017. The organization itself will be celebrating its 100th anniversary next May.
Vacation is always a great time to take a stab at bucket list Just when I thought my lungs would explode and my knees would buckle, another hill of rocks glared at me from above. I cursed. Loudly. Babes just rolled his eyes. Who had this big idea to hike Rock Dunder? “Oh, it will be fun,” she said. “Let’s go on a sunny day,” she said. “The photos will be spectacular!” Oh, that was me. I saw some of my (marathon) friends’ awesome photos from the top of Rock Dunder, which is located just off Highway 15 between Smiths Falls and Kingston. It’s a “moderate hike” in the Frontenac Biosphere Reserve, that takes one about 40 minutes. That’s what one review said. The trail is about a 3km hike. I’m averaging 10km a day these days on my intrepid walks with my canine com-
panion, Lexi. That’s 10km throughout the day – mostly a 5km in the morning, and a lunchtime spurt with a suppertime jaunt. This would be a great challenge. I soon discovered that this “40 minutes” is for the average cross-country runner, as I saw one gal go sprinting past me with ear buds. She’s not even breaking a sweat. I however, was… and was cursing about it. It was a great trek along the first kilometre, a leafy pathway through the woods. We got to the first cabin and checked out the scenery. It looked like the perfect spot for cliff diving from this elevation, which was about halfway up the trail. Eeek… I stood back from the cliff and held onto the contents of my stomach. Babes was a gem. He hauled the backpack with the water bottles, a dog

LAURIE WEIR Weir View dish, and eventually my sweatshirt (yes, it was one of those Blue Jays sweatshirts) as I was working up some good heat. He then took Lexi. She was anxious to keep up with ‘Dad’ as she barked like a fool while I had her, in his wake. To shut her up, and allow me for some better balance through the treacherous rooted pathway and eventual rock climbing expedition I had to endure, Babes took her leash. And the swearing ramped up as did the leg and lung burn. It was awesome! It took me about an hour to hit the summit, but it was a sight for sore eyes (and legs and lungs). We sat for a bit and I took some photos. There were about a dozen other people on the hill. Babes called it Mount Thunder. The fall colours were a riot of reds and yellows below us that complemented the cerulean blue of the Rideau waterway. I was in panic mode looking for a zip line to get us back to the bottom - or a helicopter landing pad… something.
But it looked like my feet got me into this predicament, and they were going to have to lead me out. I had asked a guy on the summit if there was an easier route to descend. As a matter of fact, there was, he told us. I thanked God. It took about an hour and 20 minutes to get back to the start, which was spattered with fewer vertical spots and less treacherous roots, but the lungs didn’t give out, and neither did the wonky knees. I was pretty proud of myself for kicking that one off the bucket list. Sole Sisters The climbing of Rock Dunder, and a few Rideau Lakes trail hikes prior to that during our week’s holiday at a cottage on Lower Beverley Lake, prepared me for my first official timed event for a great cause. The Sole Sisters Run/Walk for Cancer Research was held Oct. 16 and more than 225 people helped raise money to combat this dreaded disease. Sheila Coutts and France Murdoch did a great job organizing this fourth annual event, and they said at the early stages of the tabulation that more than $8,000 was raised this year. Some of the money is dedicated to the new chemo unit at the Perth site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Memorial Hospital. It was a great event for the newbie in me.

Lower Reach Park was filled with colours on this beautiful fall day that was slightly overcast. There were three batches of participants: the 10km runners/walkers took off first at 8 a.m. followed by the 5km walkers/runners (that was me – the walk part), about two minutes later, the 2km participants left the starting line. The trail meandered around the park, along the waterfront, under the bridge to Victoria Park and back (for the 5km and 10km participants) to the finish line. I started this one on my own, not knowing only the organizers and the group from my hair salon (shout out to the gals at Precision Hair Design, great job ladies!) who were about five minutes ahead of me. I also knew a couple of the runners. I did however, set a pace with a new acquaintance, Kelly. It was her first time participating in a timed event, and it’s such a great cause, she said. She’s known the organizers for a while and wanted to do something for herself – like me. It was a healthy challenge and something else off the bucket list. I highly recommend the Sole Sisters event for those who are looking for a low-key, high-energy walk/run that is filled with lots of love and support – all for a great cause. Well done to Sheila and France on this major cancer research fundraiser.

We’ve been tearing that report apart and will continue to tear that report apart,” she stated. “... There’s so much information. It’s incredibly overwhelming to try to get through it all.” A working group has been assembled including members of the community, municipal staff and school council representatives to make their case. “We hope to make a presentation but first we have to make an application to the chair of the ARC to see if

Pakenham Public School (PPS) school council is determined to ensure the institution remains a place of learning for generations to come. The council organized a public information night for parents, members of the community, municipal officials and council members at the school on Oct. 27. The gymnasium was filled with an audience interested in learning about the efforts of the council to keep the school open, which was slated for potential closure Sept. 28 in an Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) report. Since hearing the news, the school council has hit the ground running, sending letters home to parents and businesses in Pakenham, as well as meeting with Mississippi Mills staff and councillors. “Our school is a subject I’m very passionate about as I know all of you are,” remarked PPS school council chair Jennifer Downey. “The purpose of the meeting is to make sure everyone is aware of what’s happening.” “As a united front, we are showing our community leaders and the Upper Canada District School Board how important this cause is for us,” she continued, noting she chose PPS for her children because “we wanted our children to be educated in their community.” PPS is included in category one (students from these schools can be accommodated at other schools without the need for additions) of the UCDSB report, ‘Building for the Future Pupil Accommodation Review’, which recommends 16 schools slated for possible closure by June 2017. The impetus for the report is due to 9,800 vacant spaces within the UCDSB. Downey said the school board previously received funding from the Ministry of Education for the vacant spaces, but that was withdrawn this year. A total of 29 schools will be af-

Category two (putting students from closed schools at portables or temporary facilities until upgrades or a rebuild), and category three (recommended closure conditional upon Ministry of Education approval for upgrades or rebuild). The argument made in the report is that Pakenham students can be accommodated at R. Tait McKenzie Public School in Almonte without portables. The school, which has capacity for 176 students but currently has an enrollment of 90, is inclusive to all children. “The teachers and kids know each other personally,” Downey said, describing the school environment as “warm and inviting.” “The Upper Canada District School Board is essentially taking away our choice of where our kids are educated,” she added. Downey was concerned at the de-

cision made by the UCDSB in determining where Pakenham students would go if the school was closed. The options were between R. Tait McKenzie and Naismith Memorial Public School. R. Tait currently has an enrollment of 257, while Naismith has 331 students. “Both schools have the capacity to take all our students but the board is recommending R. Tait only,” she said. Busing needs are another issue, she noted. The board projects a cost savings of $45,000 if the school is closed, but it will mean an additional 30 minutes for students on top of their present bus times. In order to allow for public consultation, the UCDSB has set up Accommodation Review Committees (ARCs) to gather input in order for trustees to make their final decision next March. While Downey, who will be a member of the ARC committee, said they are currently at the informa-
we get one of the spaces,” Downey continued, adding there aren’t enough spaces for all of the schools affected to make a presentation. “...I am going to think that we would get chosen to make a presentation because we are going to go as a three-party group (community, council and parents).” A second opportunity to speak will be at the Jan. 30 ARC meeting at Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute. She said in addition to the board’s plan for where students will be shuttled if Pakenham closes and transportation concerns, other issues they plan to raise include the impact to the community.

Hiller, Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and chief administrative officer (CAO) Paul Knowles met with the minister to discuss CPDMH. “This is what we were trying to achieve,” Hillier said, “and the expansion of the emergency department will result in a significant improvement for the patients, for the people who work here.” “On behalf of our community I would like to take this opportunity to thank Minister Hoskins and MPP Hillier for both their time and effort in making our new emergency room proposal a reality for the Town of Carleton Place,” Antonakos said. “This significant investment in our infrastructure represents the largest investment ever in Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. The new emergency room addition and revitalization of our hospital will ensure the continued delivery of high quality care now and in the future.” Past CPDMH board chair Marcel Pinon noted he did not know whether to laugh, scream or cry; however, he was “proud to be here representing current board chair Terry Cairns.” “I want to thank the minister and the ministry team,” he said. “Health care is a complicated business...redevelopment does not happen overnight.” Pinon acknowledged the leadership and hard work of Surko and former board member Gordon MacNabb. For the past 10 years, MacNabb

The funding announcement was well attended, with many members of the community packing the hospital’s boardroom to hear the much-anticipated news.

The green light was given Oct. 28 for Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) to expand its emergency department, with $8.75 million coming from the province. Prior to the funding announcement, Dr. Eric Hoskins (left), Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, speaks with, from left, former CPDMH board chair Marcel Pinon, local MPP Randy Hillier and Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos. chaired the capital project committee. “Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital is definitely the little hospital that could,” Pinon said. “While waiting for this announcement we have not been standing still.” CPDMH has been serving the residents of Carleton Place, Beckwith
and surrounding area for more than 60 years “Our 60-year-old building has had several upgrades, including accessible washrooms and new flooring, and construction on a new roof and boiler will begin this fall,” Pinon said. “Last month our diagnostic imaging de-
partment was enhanced with a brand new digital X-ray machine and we welcomed a new family physician.” CPDMH received $181,000 of health infrastructure renewal funding between 2015 and 2016. “Our new partnership with Almonte General Hospital is already
Improved services Specifically, the new and larger emergency department will: accommodate peak and low volumes by using efficient fast-track zones; develop a triage area to improve patient privacy, the flow of patients through the unit, and access to care; enhance infection control standards; provide a large number of diagnostic, technological and therapeutic tasks, for example, lab tests to determine the presence of infection or disease; and offer a secure operating room with authorized access. “This project will result in expanded services and provide better access for the residents of Carleton Place and the surrounding communities,” Hoskins said.

Migration one of most special events in the natural world An article on migration in my latest (September 2016) Birdlife magazine describes migration as one of the most extraordinary events in the natural world. Every year thousands of species migrate along the main flyways, to move between breeding and non-breeding ranges. The scale of avian movement is awesome; billions of birds navigate mountains, oceans, deserts, and adverse weather systems on their remarkable journey. Migratory birds fascinate and excite people. Their arrival and departure mark the arrival of seasons. These birds have huge popular appeal, and inspire interest and concern for our natural world. A message for all is to keep feeders filled, with cameras ready for pictures. Most of us have noted the many migratory Dark-eyed Juncos coming to our feeders and gardens. Near Carleton Place, Dorice Hanes called to
Strictly for the Birds LYNDA C. BENNETT
report a Fox Sparrow in the garden Oct. 23. This species migrates to the southeastern United States. The next day, in LanarkHighlands, Claudia Smith watched a Red-bellied Woodpecker at her feeder. First one ever to visit and she was very pleased. Moving up to Pakenham village, Ray Holland called to tell of several male and female Evening Grosbeaks that afternoon. On Oct. 21, a damp, windy, rainy day, Georgina Doe and I decided to go to Manotick for lunch. Along Cemetery Side Road, a Great Blue Heron was fishing in the Jock River. We saw many usual species – Canada geese, American
Crows, Ring-billed Gulls, and Starlings. Looking over the Moodie Drive ponds by the gravel pits, Mallards, Common Mergansers, and five Buffleheads made up the duck species. Herring Gulls and two Common Ravens joined the crowd there. We saw only one American Robin on our trip, but did spot a juvenile Northern Harrier. One shorebird was observed, a Greater Yellowlegs. A lady from Mississippi Mills discussed a Northern Cardinal with me. The bird comes to her backyard and is sometimes difficult to see. From last year’s Project FeederWatch, 2015-2016, some most commonly reported species in Ontario included: Black-capped Chickadee (#1), Juncos, both Downy and Hairy Woodpecker, Mourning Dove, Blue Jay and Cardinal. Please call Lynda at 613256-5013 or email bennett@ magma.ca with bird reports.

Carriageway Studios plans busy November with Martin & Martin event Martin & Martin is a delightful two-pronged event taking place at the Carriageway Studios in Almonte. It features the dramatic and large landscape art of Jack Martin of Wakefield. This will be the first showing of the 85-year-old artist’s work. Jack has been painting all his life but has never had the courage to show it off. A vernissage, meet the artist,
will take place on Friday, Nov. 4, from 5 to 8 pm. Wine and treats will be on hand. Jack’s art can be seen at the studios during the month of November. The second Martin to be featured is Jack’s grandniece, Selina Martin of Toronto. A native of Pakenham and the daughter of Peter and Fern Martin, Selina and her band
will perform music from her Polaris-nominated album caruso’s brain on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 4:30 pm. Tickets are $20 and are available at Baker Bob’s in Almonte or by calling Fern at 613-624-5104. Carriageway Studios can be found in downtown Almonte, at the end of the alleyway on the way to the Barley Mow pub.
Correction A story in our Oct. 27 issue (‘Mississippi Mills joining in fight to save Pakenham Public School’) contained an error. Susan Edwards is not a
trustee with the Upper Canada District School Board, but is a superintendent with the board who will serve as the Accommodation Review
Committee representative for this area. We regret the error and any inconvenience it may have caused.

A new hearing aid offer has been introduced for retirees. The hearing aid is a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!
At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce
the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids. Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!
Call now to book your FREE hearing test, or visit

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

“It’s important that we go in with a strong presentation because I don’t know if we’ll get another opportunity other than my voice at the ARC table,” Downey commented. PPS principal Dave Balfour’s message to the community was simple: “The school today is not closing. I heard some naysayers the day I started with the school that Pakenham was going to close one day and that was three years ago.” “Jennifer and her team are going to do the best presentations they can to keep Pakenham school open,” he continued. Throughout this next five-month process, Balfour said his job is to keep the school running and focus on learning. “As principal of the school, I will run the school to the best of my abilities and I’m not stopping,” he noted. Balfour called PPS a special
school, that celebrates the culture of the community. “In this school, the kids get along famously, they understand each others’ differences and they celebrate them and I hope that will continue for many years to come,” he said. Several Mississippi Mills council members showed their support at the meeting, including mayor Shaun McLaughlin and councillors Duncan Abbott, Christa Lowry, Denzil Ferguson and John Edwards. McLaughlin asked what the municipality can do to help. “One of the difficulties would be, as the school is under-utilized, within the process you can show a way to use the under-utilized space at a cost recovery for the school board. That might help,” answered Donald Cram, UCDSB ward one trustee (Beckwith, Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place). Currently, there is no custodial staff in the school in the evenings, making it more challenging for com-
munity groups or organizations to use the space. “That’s a point that we’re targeting,” confirmed Downey. “They (UCDSB) put us in this position, they need to work with us to come up with a solution.” The fact that PPS borders on three neighbouring school boards (Ottawa, Renfrew County and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario), will also have a place in the school’s argument. Downey said the UCDSB would lose students from the board if PPS was closed. “...We’re in this process right now and that is going to affect our enrollment next year. There’s no doubt,” she remarked. The issue of impact on the community was brought up further when a resident wondered if the recent rebuilding of the RBC branch could add fuel to the fire. “Has anyone spoken with RBC? What made their decision to tear down a branch and expand it in Pakenham?,” he ques-
tioned. “If you get that information, to come up with ideas, alternatives... it might help with the cause.” any emotional approaches right now aren’t helping,” he said. “As a trustee, Frustrating role I’m listening.

Carleton Place Canadians come from behind in win over Cumberland Grads The Carleton Place Canadians fell behind on the road against the Cumberland Grads, but were able to overcome a 2-0 deficit and come away with a 5-3 victory on Sunday, Oct. 30. Carleton Place started Michael Leach in goal, but came out to a slow start as the two teams played a scoreless first period before Xavier Couture scored a pair of goals in the first five minutes of the second period to take the lead. Slow starts as a team with Leach in net has been a bit of an issue for the Canadians in his last couple starts. “You would think it would be the exact opposite, to be honest with you, with his inexperience of being in our league you’d think the guys would play that much harder,” said Canadians head coach Jason Clarke. “Every time Leach has been in the net, we haven’t had a very good game. Leachie made some real good saves near the end and did a very, very good job. (He) stayed composed in the last six or seven minutes of the game.” Leach was the victim of some bad ‘puck-luck’ on Couture’s first goal as his low wrist shot deflected off a Canadians defender and trickled past the outstretched leg of the Carleton Place goalie sliding the other way. Couture added another goal less than three minutes later. Coming off the bench, he snuck his way into the heart of the Canadians defence and took the pass from Martin Frechette. Couture made a quick move to the backhand and slid the puck past Leach for a 2-0 lead. Carleton Place started turning things around after the second Cumberland goal and got rewarded for their efforts with a pair of goals before the intermission. Connor Merkley notched his team’s first goal, taking advantage of a gift of a turnover in the Grads zone. Merkley grabbed the loose puck in between the hash-marks and snapped a wrist shot over the glove of Ryan Coughlin. Alex Friesen tied the score at 11:22 in the second with a quick snap shot
that beat Coughlin on the glove side. The Canadians dealt with some minor injuries as Friesen and Logan Buchanan had to leave the game with some cuts. “We had a lot of hard work at the end,” said Canadians captain Andrew Dodson, “we knew we had a short bench so it was going to be tough, but we bared down and every guy throughout the lineup worked hard and kept their feet moving and won the battles.” Carleton Place over came those injuries and took the lead thanks to a great individual effort from Shawn Kennedy. He fought through a check at centre-ice to maintain puck posses-
sion before deking past a Grads defender. Kennedy fanned on his shot, but it was enough to fool Coughlin and beat him through the five-hole for the Canadians first lead in the game – coming midway through the third period. Grant Hebert tied the score 1:15 later after Mathieu Galipeau’s shot was blocked and Leach had to fight through the crowd in front of him, but he couldn’t find the puck as he got snapped past him off the post and into the net. The Canadians regained the lead after Tim Theocharidis rifled a slap shot through the traffic in front of the net and past Coughlin. Peyton Fran-
cis, playing in the spot of Friesen after his injury, picked up his first point with the Canadians as he got an assist on the play – setting up the goal with a drop pass for Theocharidis. “I thought our young guys played really well,” Clarke said. “I thought Joey Warywoda, especially Peyton Francis, played really well. Peyton set up the winning goal … but did a really good job. He was good all week-end, he was good on Friday night as well. It’s good to see Peyton working really hard in Jr. B and contributing up here at Jr. A.” Dodson added an empty net goal late in the third period to seal the Canadians victory.

SAVING ENEGY! In homes, up to 25 percent of our electric bill is for lighting. Over the life of the bulbs, CFLs cost the average consumer less than half the cost of traditional incandescent bulbs for the same amount of light.
Leach now has a 4-1 record as a starter for the Canadians this year, but Dodson says his team can improve when Leach is between the posts. “Sometimes when Leacher’s in net, we don’t play our best games and we lose a lot of battles but Leachie’s definitely been playing well and he earns his playing time … we’ve just got to play better in front of him so he doesn’t get hung out to dry,” Dodson said. Carleton Place is back in action on Friday at home when they play the Ottawa Jr. Senators in a rematch of last year’s Bogart Cup Final. Submitted by Daniel Vazzoler, Carleton Place Canadians

Canadians will develop high blood pressure Although Canadians have a high awareness of many chronic conditions and diseases such as cancer and diabetes, they are less aware of an equally lifethreatening condition – hypertension. According to a recent Ipsos survey commissioned by Dairy Farmers of Canada, 59 per cent of Canadians are concerned with developing high blood pressure – even though, in reality, 90 per cent will be diagnosed in their lifetime. Known as the silent killer, an estimated one in six people do not know they have high blood pressure, with more than six million Canadian adults affected by the condition. High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for death due to stroke and a major risk factor for heart disease. If left untreated, it can lead to coronary artery disease, dementia, heart and kidney failure, and other chronic diseases. However, the condition can be prevented or managed through lifestyle changes. “With Canadians facing such a high risk of developing high blood pressure, we all need to make healthy lifestyle choices, like striving towards a more balanced diet,” says Nathalie Savoie, registered dietitian and assistant director, nutrition,
exclusive
Dairy Farmers of Canada. “One of the tools to help prevent or manage your blood pressure is to eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as an adequate amount of milk product every day. In fact, milk products contain potassium, magnesium, calcium and protein, all of which have been shown to effectively help maintain a healthy blood pressure.” Other key survey findings include: • Canadians tend to attribute lifestyle (51 per cent) as a greater cause of high blood pressure than age (22 per cent). However, the risk of developing high blood pressure drastically increases with age; more than 50 per cent of Canadians over the age of 60 live with high blood pressure. • Most Canadians think that high blood pressure is more common in men than women. However, by age 60, it is actually more common among females – with more than half of all women being diagnosed with high blood pressure. Registered Dietitians at Dairy Farmers Canada encourage Canadians to download the free Get Enough Helper App. For each day that the app is used,
Dairy Farmers of Canada will donate one dollar to one of the following great causes: Heart and Stroke Foundation, Osteoporosis Canada or Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada (up to a maximum of $100,000 per organization). For more information on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and to download the Get Enough Helper App, visit getenough.ca. About Dairy Farmers of Canada Founded in 1934, Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) is the national organization defending the interests of Canadian dairy farmers and striving to create favourable conditions for the Canadian dairy industry. Working within supply management, DFC promotes safe, high quality, sustainable, and nutritious Canadian dairy products made from 100 per cent Canadian milk through various marketing, nutrition, policy, and lobbying initiatives. Driven by a strong sense of community and pride, DFC and Canadian dairy farmers actively support a number of local and national initiatives. Visit dairyfarmers.ca for more information.

Hedwig was born on a dairy farm in Czechoslovakia where she grew up and learned the value of hard work milking cows; churning butter and gardening vegetables and berries then canning and cooking them. The family enjoyed 3 vegetables at every meal. At the age of 19, Hedwig and her family left the farm and moved to Sandersdorf, Germany. There she met Adolf Vogg and they later moved to Canada and were married at St. John Chrysostom Church in Arnprior in 1952. The new couple built their first home on the Braeside Road in 1956.

Betty Oddy (nee Wolfers) passed away peacefully at Lanark Lodge in Perth Ontario, on October 25 2016 at 6:24 a.m. She died fifty-five days after first declining food. Such strength and resilience are a tribute to her cockney roots when nothing came easily and you had to fight for each and every success in life - including death. Mum never passed up a song, and learned in her last few years, that to sing as loudly as possible can offer the greatest feeling ever. Our last 5 weeks were spent in song, stories, many smiles, hugs and kisses. She died just 12 hours after her eldest daughter Carole. The timing for our family is beyond comprehension and we are steadying ourselves on the shoulders of friends and each other as we try to understand this strange synchrony. She was a well-loved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, mother-in-law, and friend. Nana Betty, lived a remarkable life. She believed that to live a good life, you must treasure everything you have, love your family, and jump on every opportunity that comes your way. She was very proud of all of our accomplishments and always believed that our endeavors would lead to a great fortune. She loved animals especially dogs and birds at the feeder, and treasured every gift that was given to her. Singing her favorite songs, being among flowers and gardens, and drinking a good cup of tea were all things she loved. A young mother alone in London while Russ fought the fight, Bette, was an eye witness to the Battle of Britain. She stood in the streets and watched the planes fly overhead. She talked of being in the shelters for hours and hours with her new born baby - our sister Carole, as they waited for the bombing to stop. Bette married Russ Oddy in 1939 and has four children who are all spread out over the world - 3 daughters and a son. She had 3 sisters and 2 brothers, who live(d) in England and in Australia. Nana Bette has 9 grandchildren, most of whom she never got to know because of the distances between us all. She also has 9 great grandchildren, also far away and not known to her. This was always a regret for her but the world is a big place and in our family, staying put has never been the norm. A gathering was held at our home where we shared stories, poems and songs in her honour at 331 Otty Way in Perth ON. If you would like to donate to a charity in her honour, please send to Lanark Animal Welfare Society, or the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund. These were her two most favourite things - animals and music - aside from her family. We give the greatest of thanks to the incredible sisterhood on Honeysuckle at Lanark Lodge. Their care of her over the past 5 years and compassion in these past weeks has been remarkable.

John though it has been 20 years, I remember the day I met you, the day God made you mine. I remember the day God took you and will ‘till the end of time. We made our vows together until death do we part, but the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I am dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, that I can go on Living, when I no longer have you! The memory of happy years when we were together, the joy’s, the tears, the love and the fears will stay with me forever. When I am sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper “cheer up & carry on!” Each time I see your picture you seem to smile and say, “don’t cry I am only sleeping, we’ll meet again someday!” Lovingly Remembered Audrey
