Bravery and sacrifice remembered Nov. 11 BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Residents of Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills, like other Canadians, will gather on Nov. 11 to observe Remembrance Day, honouring the men and women of the Armed Forces who paid the supreme sacrifice during the First World War, Second World War and Korean War, as well as Afghanistan and peacekeeping missions. First World War hostilities formally ended in 1918 - on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 conducts the Remembrance Day service in Carleton Place, which begins at 10:50 a.m. and takes place at the cenotaph in Memorial Park. In advance, led by the legion’s colour party, a parade of veterans, and others, departs the town hall at 10:35 a.m., making its way to the war memorial on Franklin Street, which was renamed Veterans Way. The Remembrance Day service is carried out in the traditional manner: reading of the honour roll; playing of the Last Post; laying of wreaths; gun salute; and a two-minute wave of silence. The 2016 Silver Cross representative is Joan Bray. Following the service, everyone is invited to the legion hall, located at 177 George St., for refreshments and camaraderie. The Remembrance Day service in Beckwith takes place at the cenotaph

An additional three heroes died in the Second World War. Cassandra McGregor, Beckwith’s acting clerk administrator, told the Canadian Gazette the 2016 Silver Cross representative for Beckwith is Nora Currie. Three ceremonies are planned in Mississippi Mills on Nov. 11: Pakenham (10:30 a.m.), Clayton (11 a.m.) and Almonte (2 p.m.). The cenotaph in Pakenham is located on the grounds of Pakenham Public School (County Road 29), and Clayton’s cenotaph, dedicated in 1998, can be found on Tatlock Road (kitty-corner to Gemmill’s General Store). The war memorial in Almonte,
featuring R. Tait McKenzie’s sculpture, The Volunteer, is located beside the Almonte Old Town Hall on Bridge Street. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 past president John Souter told this newspaper, Almonte’s service begins with a parade, which takes shape at the legion hall at 100 Bridge St., around 1:45 p.m. The parade heads to the cenotaph, with proceedings including the traditional reading of the honour roll, the Rouse bugle call, firing party and more. The legion will host a reception following the ceremony. “The general public is invited,” Souter said. Everyone is invited to pay their respects to the area’s veterans at any Remembrance Day service.

Police, child services band together to provide kids with Christmas gifts It’s year 31, and as the Angel Tree program enters its fourth decade there is no doubt the program will continue to be a success thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program is starting off with 560 angels. The angels assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with the Lanark County Child and Family Services or other agencies also affiliated with the C.A.S, and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child. The Lanark County municipal offices are participating once again, as are our community partners. They include Albany, Eaton, Lanark County Administration, Perth Town Hall, Great War Memorial Hospital and the Walmart in Carleton Place. Our OPP ERHQ and Provincial Communications Centre also continue to be a huge support with the internal distribution of angels to OPP employees. We are certain that this year’s goal will be met as it has in past years. Effective Thursday, Nov. 3, Angel Trees bearing “Angel Cards” will be distributed for pickup to the following locations for persons to attend wishing to retrieve an angel. Those locations include: Lanark County O.P.P Detachment, Perth; Carleton Place O.P.P. Detachment; Dummond/North Elmsley municipal

Duffy’s lawyer, Don Bayne, speaks out on ‘sensationalist’ media coverage BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Senator Mike Duffy’s lawyer, Donald Bayne, in many ways the voice and face of last year’s blockbuster trial, was the special guest speaker for a meeting of Lanark County lawyers. “The last thing I wanted to be is a media guy. I’ve never been a guy who has courted the media,” said Bayne during an exclusive interview with this newspaper on Monday, Nov. 7, during the County of Lanark Law Association’s fall 2016 social at the Chesswood restaurant in Carleton Place. “There are wonderful people in the media. I like the people in journalism. I like the people in media…They’re well intentioned. They just get it wrong.” That being said, “I became the face of the (Duffy) trial by default,” in part because of logistics. The Crown lawyers had their offices within the Elgin Street courthouse in Ottawa, while Bayne’s offices were across the road. So, he and Duffy had to run the gauntlet of national media camped outside of the court house doors – and Duffy was under instructions not to talk. He admitted that with shrinking newsrooms and dwindling revenues, journalism “is a tough institution.” But he chided media companies for making reporters jack-of-all-trades, covering sports one minute, a high profile trial the next, and a folksy feature the next. During some trials, he has seen “some poor kid (who) gets parachuted in,” and has to get brought up to date on days or weeks of proceedings. “They have not learned the inside story.” His solution? “There have to be assigned court reporters,” he said. He remembered court reporters of old, who “knew more about the law and criminal procedure than the young lawyers,” he said. “You (reporters) educate the public,” to tell them what is going on in our nation’s courtrooms. “I think the rule of law is in jeopardy.” There was some “very good journalism during (the) Duffy (trial),” he said, but it proved to be the exception. He called Justice Charles Vaillancourt the real “hero” of the trial – and said that he would be saying the exact same thing had the judge convicted Duffy, instead of dismissing all of the charges against the senator.
“No matter what the outcome of this trial, we have a magnificent trial judge,” he told colleagues during the trial. “I can’t imagine a right of appeal in this case,” had it not gone Duffy’s way. “He’s such an experienced judge.” As a revered judge, he trusted Vaillancourt to keep his own counsel and look at the facts presented in the courtroom, not to be swayed by public opinion – not always an easy thing to do. During his later speech, Bayne told a story of Vaillancourt making his way to the courtroom one morning. A pedestrian who was leaning up against a post box near the court house asked him if he had any connection to the Duffy trial. He replied that, yes, he did. Not only that, he was the judge. Upon hearing this, the man said, “Lock him up!” “This is what a judge faces,” said Bayne. “Real human life and real trials are complex.” He accused much reporting on the Duffy trial as being simplistic and sensational and it did not take any nuance into account, or indeed anything that went against “the dominant narrative.” Further to this, with media resources being “so constrained…they (the media) will lap up” what is given to them, he said, pointing to wall-to-wall coverage of Donald Trump’s rallies on live television as an example. While Bayne provided Duffy with legal advice, when asked if Bayne sought any media advice from Duffy, a long-time political reporter himself on Parliament Hill, Bayne replied with an emphatic “absolutely not.” “His instincts were journalistic,” he said. “This was not a journalistic enterprise. This was a criminal trial…Every lawyer has to decide for him or herself how they will handle a media storm. (And) you don’t handle modern media. They smell out phonies and don’t like them.” Also, as a lawyer representing his client, “you’re not trying to convince the media. You’re trying to convince the judge” of your client’s innocence. He described Duffy as both “intelligent and sensitive,” juggling both legal and medical problems simultaneously for several months. He said he was “very impressed by him,” even though, understandably, “he wanted to cry out.” During the 18-month ordeal, he described Duffy as “dignified and restrained,” but on the See DUFFY page 5

DUFFY
From page 4
day before the trail was to begin, Bayne saw another side of Duffy as he showed him around the courtroom for a tour, to show him the layout and where he would be sitting. “He almost couldn’t breathe,” said Bayne, describing how the enormity of the situation was truly dawning on Duffy. “I thought he would die right on the spot. I didn’t think he would make it.” But he held it together. “He needed to get through with it for his wife,” he said. Lawyers gather Later in the evening, as he assembled before lawyers from all over the county and beyond, he cut right to the chase – almost. “I know you are all expecting me to jump all over the Duffy case,” he said, especially the relationship between the media and that particular trial. He admitted that “there’s a certain rotund senator who is the reason why I was asked here.” But another legal case just forming was at the front of his mind these days, that of former nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer, who faces several murder charges in and around London, Ont. Holding up the front pages of both The Globe and Mail and National Post, which carried the news of her arrest – along with her “perp walk,” to a waiting police cruiser, accompanied by police officers – he had highlighted that the stories did carry the “mandatory ‘alleged’ qualifier,” saying she was alleged to have committed these murders. But then, further down in the stories, several paragraphs in, he charged that the “alleged” bit was dropped. “The ‘alleged victims’ were replaced with ‘the victims were administered a drug,’” he said. “(The) cause of death has not been established,” in the eight deaths she has been charged in connection with. “‘The victims were administered a drug.’ There is no proof of that,” he continued. “She (Wettlaufer) is not only damned by the headlines, she’s been convicted.” But it was not just the media he took to task. While politicians on Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park enjoy parliamentary privilege within their respective chambers, he still chided New Democrat MPP Teresa Armstrong (London-Fanshawe) for a question she asked of Premier Kathleen Wynne, asking how these “murders” were allowed to go on “undetected” in Ontario’s nursing homes – with Armstrong assuming that they were indeed murders. Not surprisingly for a man who has lectured at the Faculty of Law at Queen’s University, he cited several academic sources that he said showed the media’s “tendency to generalize based on fixed ideas,” that modern media is sensational and simplistic, and that viewers and readers believe what they see in pictures, and are not trained at critical thinking. He said that we live in a “post-truth world,” where “feelings matter, not facts. People ditch the facts in favour of deeply held beliefs,” which has led – as witnessed by the rise of Trump and, to a lesser extent, the Ford Nation phenomena – a “revulsion against the elites.” Some of these so-called “elites” approached him at the Duffy trial wondering why he was getting up and objecting, and cross examining witnesses. “They didn’t understand the basics of a Canadian trial,” said Bayne. He admitted that he broke one of his own rules and held a press conference on Parliament Hill before Duffy was charged. He believed – a
belief he now thinks was naïve, in retrospect – that “these people (the media) will listen. The media will gather and listen…I thought by getting the facts out, we could stop this runaway train.” He felt that the “email evidence is so compelling,” and they had boiled down thousands of emails to a booklet, “a single, thin volume that reads like a novel.” He expected a fair hearing. “Boy was I wrong,” he said. “It was a spectacular failure.” He also felt that it was not just the media that rushed to judgment, but the senate too. “They wrongfully suspended a man without any proof,” he said. Seven steps to media relations He presented, for the lawyers in attendance, seven steps for dealing with the media: 1. “Form a strategy early on,” with a consistent, clear message. 2. “Deliver it in everyday language.” 3. “Don’t get into complexities about the defence.” 4. “Be professional and courteous,” to the media. “They won’t like the fact that you don’t say much. (But) they will respect it.” 5. “Make sure your client is the same.” 6. Get your information to the media in a format they can deal with (instead of bankers’ boxes full of files, try PDFs or booklets). 7. You are there to represent your client, not to make yourself look good personally or professionally. And work with your client on what your media strategy will be. He also stressed that Canada needs more legal literacy, with “better education in primary schools about the law,” and the “presumption of innocence.” He was asked later during the question-andanswer session why he had elected a trial by judge rather than by jury, and he was blunt in his assessment. “I didn’t think any jury would acquit him,” he said. He also said he chose not to do a preliminary hearing, as he is doing less of them now. Doing a preliminary hearing also gives the Crown attorneys a bit of a glimpse at his defence strategy. By the time the case gets to trail, “their (Crown) case is going to get better.” There was a debate about whether to put Duffy on the stand. “Was there a risk? Absolutely,” said Bayne. He identified one of the Crown attorneys as having the ability to “do real damage to Mr. Duffy with withering contempt.” But he added that “it wasn’t my decision alone. He (Duffy) wanted and needed my input on that. He was ready to testify. He desperately wanted an opportunity to tell his side of the story. He did remarkably well on the stand…He had a self-deprecating way of telling his life story that would connect with the judge.” Bayne agreed with Duffy’s desire to tell his story, since he felt that “you’re a decent human being, and you have a good story to tell. This may be your one chance.” While he had respect for Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff – who also cut Duffy a cheque for about $90,000 – he did not think that Wright did as well on the stand as Duffy did. “Nigel Wright was and is a man much smarter than me,” he said. However, “people in hierarchical structures never had to answer for what they do. They just give orders.” In the courtroom, he had to answer questions and “he didn’t do well in that.”

Investigative work begins at Poonamalie Lock on Rideau Canal near Smiths Falls for this $3B project During the week of Nov. 7, investigative drilling and surveying will take place at Poonamalie Lock 32 on the Rideau Canal National Historic Site. This investigative work will inform the design of the upcoming heritage stone masonry rehabilitation project scheduled to begin in fall 2017. Parks Canada will be dewatering the lock to allow for a detailed inspection of the lock and
surrounding area. Surveying will be completed to identify the surface features and the depth of the water at the site. Additionally, small vertical boreholes will be drilled just outside of the lock adjacent to the approach walls to determine the subsurface conditions. These inspections are integral to the development of the design and the scope of the upcoming construction work.
Parks Canada is investing an unprecedented $3 billion dollars over five years to support infrastructure work to heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas across Canada.

find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence. In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be
stranded out on the water. It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechanically sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve. When boaters head out, they should be wary of reduced water levels that can result after a long, hot and dry summer season. Some of a

Fall boating – It takes a little bit more care The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters want to remind all boaters enjoying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters

COMMENTARY

Scams can be a click away
e continue to hear about residents of the area receiving calls from someone claiming to be in law enforcement and demanding immediate payment for a fake tax debt, and residents of other communities in the region are probably being called as part of the scam. Although Cyber Safety Security Month has just ended, we want to draw attention to a similar online security threat that was made note of by the Ontario Provincial Police. In one example of such a phishing expedition, an email falsely claims to be from an established, legitimate organization - perhaps a bank or government agency. The recipient is asked to go to a certain website to provide personal or financial information and passwords. As the OPP note in a recent release, "it is really a malicious attempt to collect consumer information for the purpose of committing fraud."
There's also ransomware, which produces a so-called police Trojan or scareware: a notice pops up, supposedly from the legit law enforcement agency. It's a false accusation that the recipient has conducted illegal online activities accompanied by a demand that he or she must pay an amount by way of money transfer or credit card in order to unlock the computer. When the victim submits payment details, the scammer steals and uses the respondent's personal information. A few friendly reminders to consider: never click on links or attachments sent by someone you do not know, and never download anti-virus software from a pop-up or link sent in an email. Also, do not click on a pop-up claiming the computer has a virus. And please report such scam attempts to law enforcement agencies and share your experiences with others to raise awareness and, hopefully, reduce the number of people who become victims.
Cecil ends up with a few minutes of fame in Miss Crosby's class
M
iss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, Mother thought should be made a saint when she passed. But that couldn't happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn't a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself. She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again! He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wear-

ing his gum-rubbers, and when he wasn't wearing stockings, which was usually the case. The noise echoed in his gumrubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2X4. Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent. "Cecil," she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the Barr Line. "Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store. Stand up and apologize to the class." Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat. He said nothing. Miss Crosby ordered him to the low stool that sat in the corner at the front of the room. This is where anyone was sent who misbehaved, hadn't done their homework, or generally tried Miss
ing, because her shoulders were shaking. The Briscoe twins, who dressed alike, finished each other's sentences and did everything together, put up their hands with one finger in
Crosby's patience. Cecil folded himself onto the stool, and when he had settled down, his knees were under his chin, and his hands were resting on the floor. He looked exactly like the big chimpanzee we saw when the circus came to the fairgrounds one time in Renfrew. Well, it wasn't long until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics. Miss Crosby folded the Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms. I thought she was cry-

overcome with fits of laughter. It wasn't the first time Cecil had cracked his toes at the Northcote School, but it was the first See MARY page 9
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Public invited to fill a Christmas stocking DEAR EDITOR:

A full turkey dinner and dessert will be served. Ticket sales have closed. We have the pleasure of presenting Mary Reid as our guest for the evening. She is very well known in the gardening world and is a regular speaker throughout the area. She is the owner of Green Thumb Garden Centre in Nepean.

This will commence at 7:15 p.m. As mentioned our elections will be conducted so anyone wishing to stand for office is asked to speak with Debra or Brian, our nominating committee. A silent auction will take place during the evening. We also have available 10 potted amaryllis bulbs that will sell for $10 each. All of
the work has been done for you by Anita, you just have to take these beauties home and give them some TLC. Our last photo contest for this year was October. The winners were Graham Wilson first, Brian Bellevue second and tied for third were Aline Hicks, Jean Holmes and Carol Stanley. Brian wishes to make it known that anyone not able to attend a meeting can have someone submit their photo on their behalf. The déjà vu was not judged in October however we invite those that have the required photos to mount them on white paper and bring them to this meeting. Submissions are separate from the monthly contest and a gift certificate valued at $20 will be presented to the winner. Members please select and vote on your favourite set of photos in this people’s choice contest. A second commercial garden has been selected for this year.

LETTER
He was just an old man. A face on the corner, a shadow along the street and no one in particular. A nobody that no one cared to know and sadly most never would. And that fact would count as a huge loss to them all. He was the butt of jokes, rumor and gossip. He was feared, avoided and scorned, yet the truth was nobody really knew why because it had been going on for so long. It just was. Folks said that he had been in the war but he didn’t hang out at the legion and never marched with the other veterans on Remembrance Day. In fact, no one ever saw him anywhere on Remembrance Day and this was true because they wouldn’t. In his working years he had held a job down at the lumber yard but didn’t hang out with the other workmen after hours and kept pretty much to himself. He never bothered anyone nor did he cause trouble but still made people uneasy because he was, well, weird. On Saturday mornings he would eat breakfast alone at the local diner and on Sunday mornings sat at the back of a local church and then would quietly slip out the back once the service was over. A strange man indeed. Therefore, no one would know, or could know of course, that this quiet, strange man had once fought in some of the greatest theaters and battles in Europe during the Second World War. Wouldn’t know that he had earned so many medals that he would likely have difficulty holding his head up should he try to wear them all at once now upon his breast. They could never possibly know what it felt like to watch so many of his fellow soldiers and
friends die at his feet in the blood, muck and total disgust that is called a battlefield. Nor could they wonder, as he had, why and what it was all for? And who but God himself could explain why it was him who had lived while the others did not? If only he could have that question answered. How does one explain the responsibility for, not only living one’s own life, but also the lives of others left behind to those who could never understand? The simple answer is that you don’t and you can’t. So you must carry it silently within yourself. This is the reason why each year, on Remembrance Day, this lonely old man appeared at the cenotaph late at night long after the others have gone and the town was asleep. And each year he’d see them there as they gathered with him. For they are forever young and they acknowledged their beloved captain with a salute and warm smiles as he did likewise to them. Then from his coat he’d withdraw a bottle of rum and a pack of smokes which he passed amongst his men and they’d share and celebrate life together. “It’s a good life after all boys.” Declared the captain. “Especially as it is you lads who live and beat within my heart and I can only hope that I did well and did you lads proud as you did likewise for me.” Then from somewhere a bugle would sound and a piper would begin to play. A breeze would start to blow and carried on down through those very same streets where a strange, quiet lonely old man was known to have walked. One whom we all would do well to travel in shoes such as he had worn.

for more stockings filled with toiletries for men as they have not been receiving proportionately in past years. Please put a tag on each stocking to designate if it is for a man, woman, teen boy or teen girl. Your parish team has been asked to take two or three smaller deliveries throughout the month, as opposed to one large delivery just before Christmas, to facilitate distribution. As we track our contribution by weight and number, our goal is to exceed last year's distribution of 90 stockings and nearly 200 pounds of toiletries. Karin Nakamura, manager of The Hunger Stop, has expressed her gratitude for these donations. For so many of their clients, this may be the only
gift they receive. Several have told her they save the stocking to open Christmas morning. Karin and her staff of volunteers get to play Santa for a few weeks and so appreciate seeing the happy smiles when clients receive their stockings! She also sends a huge thank you to congregations that support this effort. You can see, by these accounts, how much your contributions have meant to our community. Please call me for more information: 613492-1006. Many, many thanks. Sandra Schappert, Coordinator, St. James Anglican Church, Carleton Place

time Miss Crosby had sent him to the stool. Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum-rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes. Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before him, and try as he might, he couldn't muster up one crack! We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order. At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the Mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn't perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum-rubbers. And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum-rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.

Frozen Dreams will warm your heart What motivates you to contribute Theatre Night in Merrickville will be competing in the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s FullLength Festival with their upcoming production of “Frozen Dreams” by Robert Ainsworth.The competition, which runs until next March, is featuring works by Canadian playwrights in recognition of the Canada 150 celebration. Director Margaret Shearman is excited to be performing this gripping comedy-drama, which is not only by an Ontario playwright, but is also set in Ottawa. “Frozen Dreams” centres on a group of three homeless men on a Christmas Eve. One of them - a developmentally delayed young man - has received a frozen turkey from a charity. The gift is an ironic one for a homeless person, but the three of them band together to find a way to cook the turkey. “I chose this play because it touches on some serious themes with emotion and humour,” explains Shearman. “It deals with the subject matter sensitively, but also has moments of hilarity. This is not a play about despair, it’s a play full of hope and compassion and the chance of new beginnings.” All of the plays entered in the Festival will be adjudicated by J.P. Kelly, who will travel all over Eastern Ontario to each of the competing community theatres. Kelly, who is an internationally renowned adjudicator/director/teacher and broadcaster, will give a short public adjudication after the Saturday night performance (Nov. 19). The audience is invited to stay and hear what a professional adjudicator thinks of the production. This is always an interesting learning experience for everyone. “The play is challenging for me as a director,” says Shearman, “and it has five demanding roles, which gives the actors an opportunity to vie for one of the acting awards. Because the play is set in an alley, the visual artists in our group have a chance to go to town with the set
painting. It makes an interesting change from our more usual living room sets.” The cast of six includes faces both new and familiar to TNIM audiences. The homeless men are played by Al Billiald, Peter Crate, and Douglas Piepers. While Billiald has had leading roles in many of the group’s recent shows, it has been a number of years since either Piepers or Crate have been seen on TNIM’s stage. Crate had a role in TNIM’s EODL award-winning production of “Having Hope at Home” three years ago. Piepers acted in TNIM’s “Rainmaker” in 2007, and has also performed with the Mississippi Mudds, Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company, and the Kemptville Players, but has not been on stage for several years. “This is quite an interesting role to jump back into theatre with,” says Piepers. “My character suffers from a mental disability and it’s an acting challenge I believe I’m having success with. The play has a lot of heart and I’ve never had a role like this with such depth of character to play with before. I’m loving that experience.” The cast also includes an eccentric bag lady who fades in and out of reality, played by Mary Robertson, and a kindly public health nurse, played by Anita Plunkett. Although both actresses are new to TNIM, they have many years of stage experience – Robertson with the Brockville Theatre Guild, Plunkett with the Kemptville Players and Dundas County Players. Keith Stanton, who recently played an outrageous French squire in TNIM’s “Sleeping Beauty”, rounds out the cast as a police officer. “Frozen Dreams” runs Nov. 18, 19, and 20 (matinee) at the Merrickville Community Centre. Tickets are available from TNIM’s website: www.merrickvilletheatre.org and at Mrs. McGarrigle’s Fine Food Shop or the Merrickville Book Emporium, both in Merrickville.

Financial Problems?
to your RRSP or TFSA? How do you contribute to your registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) and your tax-free savings account (TFSA)? Do you make regular contributions through the year? Do you contribute when a friend or family member nudges you? Do you remember to do so when your professional advisor reminds you? Or do you want to make up for last year when you forgot to invest in or top up your RRSP or TFSA? It really doesn’t matter what motivates you to contribute to your RRSP or TFSA – what matters is that you do make regular contributions. Here’s why: Investment experts agree: An RRSP is the best retirement savings strategy for most Canadians Your contributions and all the investment earnings that accumulate in your plan are tax exempt until you start using the money in retirement. Add in the fact that your contributions can be used to reduce taxes and the magic of compounding that enhances RRSP growth over time and it’s easy to see why a registered plan makes such good financial sense. To get the most in immediate tax savings and long-term growth from your RRSP, always make your maximum contribution each year. For 2016 the maximum RRSP contribution is $25,370 (How much you can contribute can be found on your most recent notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency.) The RRSP contribution deadline for the 2016 tax year is March 1, 2017. If you have any unused contribution room left over from previous years, fill it up as quickly as possible for maximum long-term tax-deferred growth and additional tax savings. Your RRSP contribution tax deduction can be carried

Manage Your Money forward to future tax years, which can be useful if you expect a jump in income in the next few years. TFSAs are an excellent and flexible way to save You put your money into a TFSA and you get your money back out – at any time, for any purpose. With a TFSA, there is no tax deduction for your contributions but all TFSA investment earnings are totally tax-free and will not trigger clawbacks on federal tax credits or benefits programs (such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Old Age Security, Age Credit, GST Credit, or Canada Child Benefit). The current annual maximum TFSA contribution is $5,500 plus the full amount of any previous year withdrawals. If you don’t use all your contribution room right away, it accumulates year after year – fill it up any time you want. By the way, your TFSA contributions do not affect your RRSP contribution room. There’s no doubt that regular contributions to a RRSP and TFSA are vital to your financial future. Your professional advisor can help you get the most from a RRSP, a TFSA and every other element of your overall financial plan.

High Times at the Heart Institute comes to Almonte, Nov. 26 In partnership with Almonte General Hospital, Stone Fence Theatre is bringing its new fundraising musical comedy, High Times at the Heart Institute, to the Old Town Hall Theatre in Almonte on Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. Proceeds from play attendance go directly to the hospital, so it’s a great time for a great cause, the organizers says. This fall and winter, the show is touring the Valley, with the potential to raise at least $25,000 for hospitals and health care. The tour has already been to Eganville, Renfrew, Barrys Bay, Deep River and Pembroke. The musical comedy was written by Ish Theilheimer, the company’s producer, and directed by Barrys Bay resident Chantal Elie-Sernoskie. It celebrates Canada’s health care system and takes a humorous look at the subject of aging Baby Boomers com-
ing to terms with mortality. “The show was inspired by my own personal experience as a patient at the Ottawa Heart Institute,” says Theilheimer. “I have been so impressed by the care and service I’ve received both at the Institute and at all the local hospitals that are tied in with it.” Heart Institute founder Dr. Wilbert Keon attended the opening of the show and told an area newspaper, “It was fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! I just thought it was so bang on.” The show’s plot involves four heart patients who find themselves thrust together by their health issues. They include Bobby (John Haslam) and Wendy (Fran Pinkerton), two aging rock and rollers and exes who can’t stand each other, left-wing cynic Arthur (Peter Brown), and Tea Party American Maggie (Les-

ley Sneddon), whose health insurance company leaves her high and dry. Toni (Shirley Hill), a stressed-out and overworked nurse tries to cope with all their needs. In the end, Wendy uses a secret from her old hippie days to save the day. Conrad Boyce, Nigel Epps, Cathy Lyons, Elaine Neigel make up the chorus, known as “The Interns.” Derek Tolhurst plays bass, Evan Burgess plays guitar, and Theilheimer plays percussion in the show. Tickets cost $25.66 plus tax, with proceeds of the show going to support the Almonte General. Tickets for all shows are available from Stone Fence Theatre’s website - www.stonefence. ca , from the box office - 613628-6600 or from local outlets. Submitted Stone Fence Theatre

Winter is coming: Are you ready? Of course I’m referring to winter; that season that brings out the worst in our road conditions and does its best to drive our vehicles to an early grave. The good folks at Speedy Glass have taken the time to compile a simple list of things to help us prepare for the snowy season ahead. In case you think all of these warnings about winter driving are just so much hype, consider that in December of last year the Ontario Ministry of Transport recorded over 7,000 more vehicle collisions than in May. Safety first. A favourite topic of our readers, headlights, is at the top of Speedy’s list. Damaged or defective lamps can cost you four seconds of reaction time in an emergency situation. They can also reduce the distance you can clearly see road signs at night from 115 to 50 meters. And don’t forget about the importance of being able to see animals on the road. Stats Can reports that these collisions involving vehicle damage have gone up 40 per cent in the last five years. Windshields. Of course as you might suspect, an auto-glass expert such as Speedy would have something to say on windshields. Winter, with its sub-zero temps is the time when simple and repairable chips can become cracks. A cracked windshield not only presents a visual hazard, but it can also effect air bag deployment as most passenger front air bags use the windshield as a backboard. And in a roll over, a cracked windshield can increase the roof’s collapse potential by up to 60 per cent. Don’t forget that snow and ice must be cleared of all exterior glass surfaces before heading out on the road. Police services have stepped up their enforcement of this lately. Tire pressure. It is important to know that each time the temperature drops by 6° C, the tire pressure may drop by one psi. It is for this reason that professionals suggest checking your tire pressure more often during the winter months. Maximize visibility. Wipers are not a long term item. They should be changed at least every 18 months. Anti-rain treatments such as Rain-X or Aquapel are another way to ensure maximum visibility. This type of treatment is especially useful during the winter making it easier to remove ice from a treated windshield. Fuel. Driving with a low-level of fuel can be damaging to your vehicle in cold weather. By keeping your level high, the risk of moisture contamination caused by condensation is lowered. And driving with a full tank on very slippery days is a great way to safely add weight to your vehicle for

improved traction. Cabin filter. These features are common on just about every vehicle these days and when they get plugged with dust and debris, they can greatly reduce the air flow coming out of the defrost vents. For improved defrosting, quicker warm-ups, and cleaner air, have the cabin filter checked every few months or so. Carpets. When water soaks the carpets in a car, the humidity level in the vehicle rises considerably and this can lead to windows fogging. Quality rubber floor liners help avoid this problem while keeping the carpet free of salt stains, especially Weathertech floor liners for example. Battery. Cold temperatures can weaken your battery. Also your battery must not have any trace of corrosion and your cables must be firmly fastened. Having a battery test done before winter can help ensure worryfree starts. Brakes. It’s far from optimal to drive on icy roads with brakes that are not in perfect condition, making regular check-ups is essential. Engine coolant. This vital fluid is a crucial element in maintaining good cabin heat while protecting your engine. Have the level checked at every oil change and replace the coolant as per your vehicle’s recommended schedule. Now if you’ve made it this far, here’s the reward. Speedy Glass has graciously supplied five winter vehicle kits that I’d love to give away to those readers with the best winter driving tip. Simply forward your tip to my email address listed below and I’ll select and print the best five in an upcoming article and get a kit out to you.

Drivers Beware: One-third of Canadians aren’t using winter tires Michelin Survey Reveals Canadians Value Winter Tires, but Uptake is Slow Despite an overwhelming majority of Canadians indicating that safety outweighs cost when it comes to purchasing winter tires, a recent Michelin survey reveals that more than one in three (34 per cent) Canadian drivers still do not own a set of winter tires.
Falls can be prevented – tips to stay upright Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians. The scary statistic is that three in every 10 seniors will fall in a year. Anyone can fall. But as we age, our risk of falling becomes greater. That's the bad news. The good news is that falls can be prevented. The first step to avoiding falls is to understand what causes them. For example, poor balance, decreased muscle and bone strength, reduced vision or hearing, and unsafe conditions in and around your home can increase your chance of falling. Staying safe and on your feet is a matter of taking some steps to protect yourself. At home: Reduce clutter in your home (loose wires, area rugs etc). Be sure your home has good lighting and the paths are clear between rooms. Safety aids: Don't be embarrassed to use aids for daily living. Wear your glasses, hearing aids and use a walker or cane if needed. Appropriate foot wear can make a big difference to help prevent a fall. Medications: Understand the side effects. Go over all medication (prescription, over the counter, vitamins). Some drug side effects and drug interactions can cause dizziness, weakness, and drowsiness. Not taking medications as prescribed can also be hazardous. Stay Fit: Without exercise, you lose your muscle tone and strength, especially in your legs, which is imperative in maintaining balance. Low impact exercise, such as aquatic classes, or Tai Chi can all help to improve muscle strength. A great way to increase balance! Regular doctor visits: Fortunately, falls are preventable. Have your doctor give you a full physical evaluation to rule out any medical issues that can increase your likeliness of falls. See your optometrist annually. Make sure your glasses are up to date. Poor vision increases your chance of falls. Take action! Submitted by Robyn Willroider, director of wellness, Carolina Retirement Suites
The number of risk-takers significantly increases as you move westward across the country with nearly half (48 per cent) of Western Canadians (BC, AB, SK, MB) reporting they do not own a set of winter tires. In Quebec winter tires are required by law from Dec. 15 to March 15. A 2011 study released by the Quebec government found the province saw a drop (five per cent) in winter driving injuries after the government made winter tires mandatory, showing that how you equip your vehicle in winter can make a difference. Although 77 per cent of respondents agreed that cost weighs on their decisions to purchase winter tires, 88 per cent agreed that safety weighs on their decision, and 61 per cent agreed that there is no ceiling price on tires when it comes to winter road safety for themselves and others. So if Ca-
nadians understand the value of winter tires, why is the adoption rate not higher? The lack of winter tire use can be attributed to the belief among many Canadians (43 per cent) that allseason tires are sufficient for winter driving. Respondents from Western Canada (56 per cent) particularly believe all-season tires are safe for the winter, followed by Ontario (50 per cent). While this belief is less prevalent in Eastern Canada, 26 per cent of Quebec respondents and 20 per cent of Atlantic Canadians still believe allseason tires are sufficient for winter driving. Carl Nadeau, Michelin driving expert, is disconcerted by the news. “While all-season tires are meant to keep you safe in occasional, transitional weather conditions, you need winter tires to safely ride through our
Canadian winters. The unique tread compounds of winter tires allow them to remain more flexible in colder temperatures, providing better traction than all-season tires. All-season tires are less flexible and less effective when the temperature drops consistently below freezing, and especially when precipitation is added to the mix.” Additional reasons given by Canadians for not owning winter tires: In the majority of provinces, the most popular reason for not owning winter tires is the belief that the respondents’ vehicles are sufficient at handling winter conditions: Manitoba and Saskatchewan (36 per cent), Alberta (33 per cent), Atlantic Canada (31 per cent), and Ontario (29 per cent). In British Columbia, 56 per cent of the respondents indicated they do not own winter tires because it does
not snow enough or get cold enough where they live. The main reason respondents gave in Quebec for not owning winter tires at the time of the survey was that they had purchased a new vehicle in the spring/summer that did not come with winter tires (52 per cent). “Winter can be a challenging season, so to safely and fully enjoy it, it is imperative that drivers properly prepare their vehicles to handle the snow, ice, slush – and cold,” said Nadeau. “Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road in winter. Making sure your vehicle is equipped with the right set of winter tires is integral to your road safety.” For more information about Michelin and winter driving tips, visit the Michelin Winter Driving section of www.michelin.ca SOURCE: Michelin

Acts of remembrance passed to next generation Nov. 11 is one of the most important days on the calendar. It is Remembrance Day in Canada, the 98th anniversary of the end of the First World War or the "Great War" as it is often called. Next April 9, Canada will mark the centenary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. On Easter Monday 1917, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps did what neither the British or French armies had been able to accomplish in more than two years of fighting. They took and held Vimy Ridge, near the city of Arras in northern France. Vimy was considered the most heavily defended German position on the Western Front. Victory was achieved at a remarkably low cost by First World War standards. There were 10,602 Canadian casualties including 3,598 dead. The triumph at Vimy was a turning point for Allied forces in the war. Back in Canada the victory by our army brought honour and pride to what was a very young nation. Today Vimy Ridge is the site of what is arguably the best known Canadian war memorial and one of the most spectacular war monuments in the world. Carved on its walls are the names of 11,285 Canadians who were killed in France during the First World War, but have no known grave. My wife Kathleen and I are fortunate enough to have visited Vimy
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Ridge and the massive, breathtaking war memorial. It was a moving experience and it's something I highly recommend to all Canadians who visit Continental Europe. The problem we face in terms of Vimy Ridge and the wars of the 20th Century is that so many years later most of our citizens may never be exposed to this important story. The history of Canada's involvement in two world wars and the Korean War is not mandatory in our secondary schools. To me that ensures that in future years only those who are interested in history will be conversant with these important chapters in the story of our nation. Every year surveys done in the lead up to Nov. 11 produce more discouraging results. Young Canadians in particular are not familiar with our war history. The way things are going the situation can only get worse! Obviously organizations such as the Royal Canadian Legion, the country's largest veterans' group, are working to keep the importance of remem-
brance in front of our people. Nov. 11 ceremonies continue to be well attended and the wearing of poppies, an important symbol of remembrance, is widespread. Unfortunately Legion membership is declining rapidly and there is concern that if the current trend continues the organization will not be able to sustain its good works. Most important of all perhaps is the Legion's leadership in terms of Remembrance Day. The Legion was built by veterans and as they pass on the number of people invested in the organization and its activities falls. It's a natural progression! There are no First World War veterans left alive and the number of Second World War and Korean War veterans is declining rapidly. War history In September my son Craig and I travelled to England for a father-son getaway. It was Craig's first visit to the United Kingdom. My son is interested in war history and some of our time in London was spent exploring the subject. Like me he is especially interested in the life and times of Winston Churchill, Great Britain's iconic Prime Minister during Second World War. We spent several hours exploring what is now called the Churchill War Rooms (previously the Cabinet War
Rooms). The war rooms and the more recently developed Churchill Museum are located in a subterranean complex in which the nation's leaders took shelter during "The Blitz" the intense German aerial bombing campaign aimed at the British capital. Kathy and I have visited several times over the years. Every time we go more additions and improvements have been made. Operated by the Imperial War Museum the site includes a first-rate, selfguided audio tour of the rooms where Churchill and his cabinet met during the darkest days of the war. The bunker complex is where decisions which would take the island nation from the brink of defeat to victory were made. The Cabinet War Rooms are housed in a former storage area under the Treasury Building in Central London, just off Parliament Square. Construction began in 1938 and they were ready for occupancy in August 1939, the month before the outbreak of war. They served as the nation's wartime nerve centre until August 1945 and victory over Japan. The site was abandoned until its value as a tourist attraction was recognized. The bunker opened for public tours in 1984. It is essentially a time capsule, with many of the rooms remaining exactly as they were the day the site was closed at the end of the Second World War.

In the early 2000s a further 850-square metres of adjoining underground space was redeveloped. In 2005 that area opened as a biographical museum on Churchill's life. In 2010 the entire complex had its name shortened to the Churchill War Rooms. The interactive displays in the Churchill museum are excellent and there is a wealth of memorabilia which helps trace the life and career of a truly remarkable man. Craig thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Also during our time in London, I made a point of taking my son to see the Battle of Britain Monument. Located on Victoria Embankment, on the north side of the River Thames, the impressive series of sculptures and friezes pay tribute to the military personnel who served during the Battle of Britain as well as depicting the horrors faced by civilians during the Blitz. The memorial was unveiled in September 2005 on the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and is one of the most easily accessible war memorials in London. Kathy and I first visited it two days after the dedication ceremony. Interestingly when Craig and I went to the site Sept. 17 a small ceremony was being held at the monument to mark the 76th anniversary of the famous battle which ended the threat of a Nazis invasion of England.

Included in the ceremony were two of the surviving Royal Air Force pilots from the battle. I was able to quickly shake hands with one but unfortunately I did not have time to obtain his name. We were told by an official they are among only 14 surviving pilots from the battle. That of course plays into what I mentioned earlier about how quickly we are losing our veterans. It seems that every day in the obituary section of the daily newspaper I see that another Second World War or Korean veteran has passed away. Not surprising considering most of those men and women are now in their late '80s and '90s. Educational programs On a positive note this Remembrance Day there are educational programs out there that are aimed at teaching our youth about past wars and Canada's involvement in them. I am a founding director of the Roy Brown Society of Carleton Place that is dedicated to promoting and publicizing the stories of Carleton Place-born First World War ace Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown and 14 fellow First World War pilots from Carleton Place. Brown is the Canadian flyer who shot down famous German ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen (later nicknamed "The Red Baron") on April 21, 1918. There is a remarkable story attached to every Great War flyer from Canada who joined the then fledgling military air services. A select number of those tales of bravery can be found among the displays at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, a facility we can all be proud of. The war museum is a leader in public education about the world wars. In addition a new collaborative video series involving the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Sound Venture Productions, an Ottawa-based film company debuted recently on CPAC, Canada's public affairs television channel. The three part series entitled 'A Nation Soars' commemorates Canada's Great War flyers. Last week I was among several people from our society, along with staff from the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and Brown family members, who attended the launch for part two of the film series called "Wings of Courage." The event was held at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa. Part 2, which includes Brown's story, aired on CPAC Sunday night. Part 3 is still in production. During the launch we heard details of a planned Vimy Flight next April to mark the 100th anniversary of the famous battle. Canadian pilots will fly replica biplanes built by a team including air cadets at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, British Columbia. It is wonderful to see such important initiatives unfolding, especially those involving young people. It is up to present and future generations to ensure the stories of Canada's involvement in the world wars and the sacrifices made by so many of our citizens are perpetuated. Attending Remembrance Day ceremonies tomorrow in our own communities is just one way we can help keep their memories alive!

She trying awfully hard to get your attention but she’s still waiting. Peggy is easy going, laid back and very friendly. She’s about two years old and has been with LAWS since June this year.

Initially we thought she’d be better off in a barn, but we feel, with a little extra time and TLC Ritchie would love to be your house cat. Please meet this young

As simultaneous unveiling ceremonies unfold in the communities of each winning coin designer, the Mint today unveiled the work of Wesley Klassen, which will grace the reverse (or tails) side of the 2017 one-dollar circulation coin. “It’s an amazing honour to have my artwork displayed the 2017 one-dollar coin and this will make my memories of Canada 150 that much more special for me and my family,” said Wesley Klassen. “I chose images that are in one way or another connected to the railroad, for which all Canadians can be forever grateful, and I’m touched that my design appealed to so many of them.” “As the country looks forward to marking Canada’s 150 birthday next year, the Government of Canada is pleased that the Mint has given Canadians a taste of celebrations to come by unveiling the designs that will change the face of our 2017 circulation coins,” said the Honourable Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance.
“These coins will stand the test of time as memorable keepsakes of a milestone in Canadian history.” “From the artists who shared their vision to the people who voted for their favourite designs, Canadians showed how much Canada means to them,” said Sandra Hanington, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “The My Canada, My Inspiration coin design contest captured heartfelt expressions of the spirit of Canada and the Mint is proud that our 2017 circulation coins will give Canadians new stories worth holding onto as they celebrate Canada 150.” Drawing on childhood memories of family vacations, Wesley Klassen chose to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary by illustrating the iconic engineering achievements which dominate our landscape from east to west — all of which is connected by railroad. His reverse design of the 2017 $1 circulation coin features landmarks such a the Lion’s Gate Bridge, a prairie grain elevator, the CN Tower, Quebec City’s majestic Chateau Frontenac Hotel and an East Coast lighthouse. On March 11, 2015, the Mint launched a national contest invit-
ing the public to create new designs for a 2017 circulation coin series celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary from five theme perspectives: Our Wonders, Our Character, Our Achievements, Our Passions, and Canada’s Future. After the public cast over one million online votes, Mr. Klassen’s design won the popular vote among five finalists in the running for the coin celebrating Our Achievements. The finalists in each category were determined by the Royal Canadian Mint and a panel of notable Canadians. The winning design per category was selected by Canadians in an online vote which took place in September 2015. Each 2017-dated circulation coin denomination will feature one of the winning designs and Canadians will be able to find these coins in their change next spring. The Mint is also launching an extensive collector coin program in celebration of Canada 150. Interested customers can sign up at www.mint.ca to receive the latest product news.

Listen to yourself and know the signs of a gambling problem Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) focuses on the importance of paying attention to how gambling makes you feel during Problem Gambling Prevention Week, which ran 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

Smiths Falls’ Stan Lasenba retiring after 45 years in Scouting BY IRIS WINSTON
Stan Lasenba has been a committed member of the Scouting movement in Canada for 45 years. It all began in Quebec in 1972 when his son Earl’s cub troop was short of leaders. Lasenba volunteered to help out. “You might say I was ‘voluntold,’” he says with a smile. When the family moved from Quebec to Smiths Falls, young Earl proudly told the leader of his cub troop there that his father was his Akela. (The Akela, the symbol of wisdom or den/pack leader in the cub program is named after the wolf in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book.) “After that, they soon came after me and I’ve been involved ever since,” says Lasenba. “A lot of people get into scouting because of their kids, but once you are involved and start reading about scouting, you realize all that it includes and you believe in the program. I liked the old aim of helping the development of the youth mentally, spiritually and physically. It was easy for everyone to understand and follow. Nowadays, the mission statement includes more gobbledygook. All scouting is really about is getting kids to have fun and be better.” With that in mind, scouting was a family affair for the Lasenbas in the late ‘70s, he adds, as his wife, Jean, and daughters Brenda and Sherrill,

Smiths Falls resident Stan Lasenba, above, is set to retire from the Scouting movement. He has been a committed volunteer with the organization since getting involved in Quebec in 1972 when his son Earl’s cub troop was short of leaders. were part of the Girl Guide movement, while he and Earl continued in the scouting program. For Lasenba, a longtime Bell employee, scouting has remained a major part of his life since 1972. During what became a stellar
career in the movement, he has held such major offices as district commissioner and assistant regional commissioner, as well as planning training programs and training many of the leaders in the area, and also running
regular camps for more than 30 years. In addition, between holding numerous offices, he has led assorted cub troops and been a Beaver leader. “That was when my grandson, Kevin, was a Beaver. He’s 27 now,” he says, adding quietly that he was also involved in the scouting movement in the Mississippi district where his grandson lived and served as president of the organization there. “And I kept on training and helping run the camps, too.” Over the years, he has been honoured as the Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year and is included in the recreational hall of fame for his services to Scouting. He has also been awarded the Silver Acorn, one of Scouts Canada’s highest awards for “especially distinguished service to scouting.” He will be retiring from the movement next year, in part, he says, because, at 77, he wants time out to enjoy retirement (between involvement with the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, regular curling and playing duplicate bridge) and, in part, because he is not comfortable with the current direction of the movement. “Scouting has changed to the point that I am not sure I believe in it any more,” he says. “It’s moved too far from what (Robert) Baden-Powell (founder of Scouts) believed in. He always said it should be a volunteer organization, but these days, too many
decisions are made by the paid staff. Having boys and girls together at the cub level also bothers me. Boys of eight to 10 are so far behind girls of the same age that mixing them makes it hard to co-ordinate activities properly.” “My motto has always been, you’ve got to have fun or don’t be there,” he adds. So, in the fun department, Lasenba can be found on Tuesday afternoons playing bridge with partner Keith Anderson, Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 past president, at the legion, as a member of the Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club. For further information about the club, contact Don Grant at 613-283-7164. History of Scouting • The trigger for the Scouting movement was a youth camp, held at Brownsea Island in England in 1907. • Lieutenant General Robert Baden-Powell, recognized as a hero for his role in holding Mafeking during the Second Boer War in South Africa until the siege was broken, organized the Brownsea Island camp as part of the research for his book, Scouting for Boys. • Earlier, while he was stationed in India, Baden-Powell had published Reconnaissance and Scouting (1884), See LASENBA page 33

a reference work about military scouting. Some 12 years later, in collaboration with his friend and army colleague Frederick Russell Burnham, the American-born Chief of Scouts for the British Army in Africa, he began work on Scouting for Boys, a more general book on scouting based on his military experience. • The original goal of the Scouting movement was to support the physical, mental and spiritual development of the youngsters involved, to encourage them to play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. • In 1909, the first Scout Rally, attended by some 11,000 youngsters, was held at Crystal Palace in London. • When Baden-Powell retired from the army In 1910, he formed the Boy Scouts Association. By the end of the year, it numbered more than 100,000 members. • The program initially focused on boys aged 11 to 18, but as the movement grew, programs for younger and older boys were added: The Cub Scout and Rover Scout programs were added over the next few years. As the movement grew, Sea Scouts, Air Scouts, Beavers (for the very young) and other specialized units were added to the program. • Baden-Powell encouraged others to take leadership roles through developing the Wood Badge course in rec-
Girl Guides • The Girl Guide movement, headed by Baden-Powell’s sister, Agnes, was formed in 1910, at the request of some of the girls who had been at the Crystal Palace rally. • In 1914, Agnes Baden-Powell, as the first president of the Girl Guides, started Rosebuds (later known as Brownies) for the younger girls. Later Ranger Guides were added for the older girls. • In 1918, Baden-Powell’s wife Olave was named Chief Guide for England. By 1930, she was the World Chief Guide. Scouts Canada • The first scouting groups were started in Canada in 1907/1908. • Baden-Powell is believed to have asked Earl Grey then governor General of Canada, to organize Scouting in Canada • In 1914, a branch council of the Boy Scouts Association was established in Canada under the Boy Scouts Association’s overseas department. • Scouts Canada offers programs for young people, male and female, aged five to 26. Its aim is “to help develop well-rounded youth, better prepared for success in the world.” • Scouts Canada, in affiliation with the French-language Association des Scouts du Canada, is a member of the World Organization of the Scouting Movement.

Local musicians enjoy country pickin’ mayhem at the Cove in Westport Ever notice how, whatever you’re doing, let’s say playing golf, gets better when you’re doing it with skilled players? You tend to try harder to keep up, often improving your play. I’ve witnessed the same thing many times, with seasoned musicians being put together onstage and recently had this phenomenon realized, yet again, watching “Country Pickin’ Mayhem” at The Cove in Westport. “Country Pickin’ Mayhem” combines Steve Piticco and Wendell Ferguson, both multi-winning, Canadian Country Guitar Picker of the Year Award winners, cream of the crop veteran singer/songwriters, with fellow guitar picker, Shawn McCullough, who was nominated for the same award a few years ago. Together is just plain magic. Add fiddle playing, multiple award winner, Wade Foster, and backed by the stellar rhythm section of Mark Lemieux on drums and Roch Lafleur on bass and you’ve got a package that will blow the minds of any venue attendee. No egos, the love of playing drives this ensemble, each taking turns sharing their own written material, the other musicians stepping up to add their piece to the puzzle, all adding up to a primo sound. They also give renditions of classic country and pop tunes that, in their time, will have you laughing or crying. As I stated before, playing in this grouping seems to en-

Walsh Doctor Gregory Joseph Walsh
July 2nd, 1953 November 2nd, 2016 A remarkable human being succumbed with dignity and courage on November 2nd, 2016 to brain cancer. Greg was surrounded by close family at his beautiful lake front cottage, a place so close to his heart. He touched many lives as a caring physician, family man and friend in a way that we will never forget. He leaves behind his beloved Arlene, who was his angel here on earth and who provided him with such loving care. Greg was the cherished father of Laura and Emily Walsh and dear stepfather to Bradley and Katie Alford. He was the devoted son of the late Theresa and Patrick Walsh of Ajax. Greg was loved brother to Colleen Walsh (Matt Kojder), Kathleen Walsh (Philip Kienholz), Joanne Williamson (Malcolm), Barbara Walsh (Larry Grawbarger), Maureen Kerr (Kelly), Brian Walsh (Dorothy), John Walsh (Sylvie), Michael Walsh (Nancy). Brother-in-law to: Dan Cameron (Brenda), Bernadette Cameron (Colin), Elaine Cameron (Bill), Louise Kidy (Zak), and Judy Cameron. Greg was also an uncle extraordinaire to his many nieces and nephews. Greg obtained a Bachelor of Physical Education from McMaster University in 1977 followed by a Bachelor of Education from Queen’s University in 1978. He went on to achieve a doctorate degree in family medicine from McMaster University in 1982. He served as an associate professor of family medicine at McMaster University and more recently at the University of Ottawa. Greg’s vocation as a family doctor spanned over 30 years and took him from Chesley to Oakville, to Lanark, where he practiced medicine for almost two decades at the North Lanark Community Health Centre. Greg was known for wearing “magical glasses” through which he could only see the good in people. His mission was “to meet people where they are in need” and in so doing, make the world a better place. Greg was a storyteller and always the life of the party. He loved planning activities and celebrations for the extended family to have fun together. Greg saw life as a wonderful adventure. Truly we are all privileged to have had Greg in our lives, although his time here was cut far too short. God bless you and keep you.

DOWDELL, Della – November 13, 2015 The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, forever. The Family.

STANLEY – In memory of Madeline Stanley, loving wife, mother and grandmother, whom we lost 15 years ago, November 13th, 2001. “Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you not time, not space… not even death.” -Unknown

Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Class Environmental Assessment BTE is initiating an MTO Group C Environmental Assessment (EA) for potential intersection improvements at Highway 7 and Crampton Road in accordance with the requirements of the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (as amended in 2000) document. The study will examine intersection improvements to accommodate new residential development access. This study will also assess the previous Wilson Creek Subdivision Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study which recommended a new left turn lane to serve the development site. The need and justification for the intersection improvements comes from the approval of the municipal subdivision for Wilson Creek Subdivision Phase 1 and Phase 2. The EA process will: confirm the design criteria for the intersection; generate alternatives; document the environmental inventories; evaluate the alternatives and recommend a preferred alternative; define a mitigation plan; and, prepare an Environmental Screening Document to present the Recommended Plan. There is an opportunity at any time during the EA process for interested persons to provide comments. Copies of this notice in the form of a flyer will also be distributed to the residences in the Wilson Creek Subdivision and to residences within one kilometre of the intersection along Highway 7 and Crampton Road. Should you have comments or questions, you are encouraged to contact the individuals listed below.

Second World War veteran Joan Bray Carleton Place Silver Cross representative BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Silver Cross representative Joan Bray, 91, will lay a wreath during the Remembrance Day service in Carleton Place on Nov. 11, taking those symbolic steps towards the cenotaph in silence and with dignity. Friday’s service, hosted by branch 192 of the Royal Canadian Legion, begins at 11 a.m. in Memorial Park. “I did not need to think about it,” Bray said about being asked by the legion in 2015 to lay the wreath. “I thought, as long as the good Lord gives me the get up and go I will use it.” Her friend, Peggy Dunlop did it the previous three years. Bray is a member of St. James Anglican Church, involved with the Women’s Council, and she is a member of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. “I do what I can for my church,” she said, “and for the hospital, I work at the work desk and sell (Nevada) tickets at Giant Tiger.” Bray said she enjoys volunteering because she enjoys people. “There is so much to learn out there from people,” she explained. Other accolades: Cornwall Senior of the Year and Golden Jubilee Medal recipient. “I really do not like to talk about myself,” Bray said. Military service In 1943, during the Second World War, Bray, from Sherbrooke, Quebec, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. She was 18.

“I went on my birthday,” she told the Canadian Gazette. “Initially, I tried to join up at age 16.” Canadian women were not allowed to serve in combat during the Second World War, but they were still greatly involved in the war effort. They performed essential services, both at home and overseas, that helped bring about Allied victory. Bray noted their service freed up men for combat. “I was sent to Kitchener for basic
training,” the Silver Cross representative said. “It was a four-week course.” Bray then made the decision to become a medic. Thus, she was sent to Chorley Park military hospital in Toronto for instruction. “I was there for four months,” she said, “and I was then stationed at Ste. Anne’s Hospital in Sainte-Anne-deBellevue, Quebec.” Since its establishment in 1917, Ste. Anne’s Hospital’s reason for being has been to serve veterans, providing them with the highest standards of care, and to be a symbol of remembrance for the community and the country. While at Ste. Anne’s Hospital, Bray was billeted at the Macdonald Campus of McGill University. From there, in 1944, “I went to
the RCAF Wireless School Number 1,” she said. “It was on Queen Mary Road in Montreal.” It then changed to become Montreal military hospital. “I will tell you, I grew up fast, especially when I saw what was coming back (from overseas),” Bray said. “...I learned how life is unpredictable.” Although some enlisted women noted patriotism as their motivation, others, like Bray, were in search of new opportunities - “adventure.” “I also met someone who was in the Canadian Armed Forces,” she said. In 1940, Bray met a man named Bill, while out walking her dog. “We met just before he went overseas,” she explained. “Bill was a medic stretcher bearer. It was not like the ro-
mances today. It was more letter writing.” Five years later, he would become her husband. “He came back at Christmas in 1945,” Bray said. “Actually, we were married on Christmas Eve.” Getting emotional, she uttered, “I lost him at Christmas in 2004.” The Second World War ran a total of six years and one day, Sept. 1, 1939 to Sept. 2, 1945. It was the most widespread war in history, and it directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. Bray served in the Canadian Armed Forces for three years - until 1946. “I became pregnant with my son, also named Bill,” she said. With Bray and her husband’s service over, the couple left Montreal for Port Hope, Ont. “Bill became a mailman,” Bray said. “Our daughter Donna also came along. After a couple of years passed, Bill returned to the military, joining the air force.” As a result, Bray and her family were in Germany twice, Italy once, all over. “Our daughter Debbie came along after our stint in Italy,” she said with a smile. “It must have been the wine.” Service is often part of a family tradition. Bray’s father, Alfred Perry, originated from the British Army in India, before coming to Canada. He was in the militia, but then he joined the Veterans Guard of Canada.

the military spanned 14 years. “My husband gave 45 years of service to the military,” Bray said. “I have his certificate.” As the number of Second World War veterans continues to decline, Bray is one of the very few left in Carleton Place. She resides at Elizabeth Court with her 18-year-old cat, Fluff. In 1991, the Gulf War is the first conflict in which Canadian women take part in combat. Fifteen years later, in May 2006, Captain Nichola Goddard, 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, was killed in Afghanistan. She was the first female Canadian Armed Forces member killed during combat duty.

ing 1967 or 1968.” The president noted the ATC is able to offer membership, which is very active, at a reasonable price because of the co-operation it has with the municipality. “We have a 10-year agreement with the municipality for maintenance,” Younger-Lewis said. “I cannot say enough about Calvin and the others.” “Now that this work is done, we can look at the cosmetics,” he added. “We were unable
to do it before because of the cracks and instability.” Festivities also included a ribbon-cutting ceremony and refreshments inside the Almonte &amp; District Community Centre (arena). Other VIPs in attendance were Coun. Paul Watters, CAO Diane Smithson, ATC president Doug YoungerLewis and Morrison Hershfield Ltd. representative Adam Goudreau. Crains’ Construction Ltd. executed the work at the ten-
nis court facilities, with design drawings and contract administration completed by Morrison Hershfield Ltd.

Many birds seen in October Our Almonte waste treatment ponds on Wolf Grove Road bring waterfowl and shorebirds for people to view from the Potvin Observation Tower. Iain Wilkes, Carleton Place, visited there on Oct. 27. A large number of Canada Geese were on the water, with many Mallards and Green-winged Teal, plus two Lesser and an American Widgeon. One Lesser Yellowlegs and two Dunlin were present along the shoreline. Two Bufflehead, one Northern Pintail and one Black Duck completed the duck species list. The following day, Iain spotted a Rough-legged Hawk on the north side of Old Almonte Road, just east of Appleton Road. Also on Oct. 27, Lise Balthazar, Sheridan Rapids, had three Evening Grosbeaks at her feeders. She still sees several Red-winged Blackbirds. On Oct. 28, in Pakenham, Ray Holland had a Fox Sparrow under his feeder. Also on Oct. 28, we travelled to Barrie to visit two of our daughters and three of our five grandchildren. Excitement for Halloween was evident. Costumes were worn to their Saturday skating lessons. In Barrie, at Minet Park, on Bay, we saw many Common Loons in winter plumage, as well as two Black Scoters. These were number 230 on my Ontario year list. Heading home on Oct. 30 we looked

over McGowan Lake, Highway 7, Tay Valley Township, and saw 34 Trumpeter Swans. As well, 60 Common Mergansers were with them, plus one Great Blue Heron and one male Mallard. We had had to park along Highway 7, off the road, for good views of the birds. We tallied 25 species on our trip. Many usual expected species were seen. On Halloween, Oct. 31, I parked at the west end of Lake Avenue, Carleton Place, and saw four Trumpeter Swans 60-plus Canada Geese. Three Mallards and Ring-billed Gulls kept them company. Later that afternoon, driving along Industrial Road, Almonte, to the grocery store, six Snow Buntings flew up from a field by the road and then settled back down to resume feeding. Winter is certainly on the way. Call Lynda at 613-256-5013 or email: bennett@magma.ca with bird reports.

Rachel Roy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on July 23 – four days before her fourth birthday. ALL is cancer of the white blood cells. Two Love for Rachel fundraisers were held in Carleton Place on Saturday, Oct. 29, hosted by Valley Granite & Tile (Brad and Lisa Occomore). The events raised a total of $16,000, which will help support Rachel and her family during this difficult time.

So many people involved in so many wonderful things in Carleton Place The Town of Carleton Place is getting ready to host its 2016 appreciation night on Friday, Dec. 2, held in the upper hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena). During the well-attended and invitation-only event, the municipality will disclose its Citizen of the Year, and the designation is presented in recognition of the invaluable contributions made by a person who generously donates their time and talents to serve the Carleton Place community in a volunteer capacity. Someone who gives to the community solely for the satisfaction of generating the spirit of good will. A person who lives beyond the borders of Carleton Place may also be nominated for contributing to the community. Past winners include: Bob and Joan Bennett, 2015; Jan Ferguson, 2014; Bob White, 2013; Ronette Vines, 2012; Debby Lytle, 2011; Wayne and Lorna
Drummond, 2010; Norma Hamilton, 2009; Rob Probert, 2008; and the list goes on. The late Eldon Henderson, a former mayor of Carleton Place, and the members of council from 1973 to 1976 introduced the Citizen of the Year initiative. The first recipient, in 1974, was the late David Findlay. Eleanor Henderson, Eldon’s wife, has done an amazing job for more than four decades of keeping Citizen of the Year records, etc. This year, the deadline for nominations was Tuesday, Nov. 1. It is important to note all nominees are kept strictly confidential, with only the eventual winner being revealed. To me, there are so many people involved in so many wonderful things in Carleton Place, which is why our community is so special. As a result, I thought I would put forward the names

TARA GESNER Tara Firma of a couple of people who would be deserving of the Citizen of the Year title - in my opinion. First up: Kory Earle. Earle is the current president of People First of Canada, a past president of People First of Ontario and the co-founder of People First of Lanark County. He is known around the country as someone who is passionate and committed to equality for all people - especially individuals with intellectual disabilities. Earle is an eloquent and effective spokesperson, and governments at all levels often solicit his opinion on initiatives and legislation. Growing up, he was judged, bullied and called the R-word, which left him feeling suicidal, and it undermined his self worth. A few years ago, Earle came out as a gay man - a secret he kept for 20 years. Earle was at Queen’s Park in Toronto by the side of Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones, urging the government to pass the Protecting Vulnerable People Against Picketing Act, 2011. The Act would prevent picketing of supported group living residences. He is a recipient
of the Joan McKay Memorial Bursary Award and James Montgomerie Community Award (with People First of Lanark County), and earlier this year, he was nominated by Community Living Ontario for a seat in the Senate of Canada. Other accomplishments: antibullying and community acceptance campaigns, tribunal representation, inclusive education, community awareness (rights, abilities and strengths of people living with supports), annual Community Christmas Dinner and Bunny Run, installation of audible pedestrian signals at four signalized intersections in Carleton Place and public partnerships, just to name a few. Another deserving person: Nicole Pearson. Six years ago, Pearson established the Brett Pearson Run for Your Life, following the loss of her son by suicide. The event, sponsored by the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee, brings suicide, mental illness and substance abuse out of the shadows and into the light. Recently, the Brett Pearson Run For Your Life is recognized in other cities across Canada because it is one of a kind. Over the years it has raised thousands of dollars, and this money has been donated to a number of organizations, including Kids Help Phone, Carleton Place & District Youth Centre, OPP Kids Program, Military Family Resource Centre, Lanark County Food

Bank (now The Hunger Stop) and I Run & Rock. Nowadays, it is not just the average person from the community who comes out and supports the run. We see military personnel, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, politicians (all levels), area celebrities, and other professionals. This Nov. 20 marks 10 years since Brett’s death. At the time, he was a Grade 11 student at Carleton Place High School, and he was suffering emotionally, experiencing feelings of sadness, helplessness and hopelessness. Pearson, a member of the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee, delivers ‘My Message of Hope’ to area schools, the story about the loss of her son. The conversation usually precedes presentations from the Ministry of Transportation Ontario Provincial Police about drugs and alcohol. Yes, suicide is difficult to talk about, but to talk about it is the only way to possibly save a life. Pearson continues to express her love for Brett by doing work in the community and throughout Lanark County. She is making a difference! The town’s appreciation night also serves to recognize the lasting contributions of employees. Other festivities include a social hour, buffet-style dinner, live entertainment, dance and more. Donations to the local food bank are always accepted at the door.
Carleton Place treasurer discusses 2017 draft budget with council BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place council got its first look at the 2017 draft municipal budget on Oct. 18, during the corporate services meeting. The document has two components: operating and capital budgets. The operating section covers the costs of maintaining services such as snow removal, road maintenance, garbage collection, parks, recreational centres and police and fire. The capital portion represents the funds set aside by the town to upgrade, replace, expand or create infrastructure. At first glance, the draft budget called for a 5.08 per cent increase in property taxes – on the municipal portion only, however. Property tax bills also include levies for Lanark County and education. The municipal share makes up about 50 per cent of the bill. Budget talks continued on Oct. 25, during the policy review meeting, with treasurer Phil Hogan presenting the capital portion of the financial document. Within his summary, Hogan noted there are several ways to fund capital projects: tax dollars, reserves, monies from the government and others, development fees and debt or land sales. Carleton Place’s draft capital budget for 2017, as presented, is $12,627,485. Hogan noted $2 million would be funded from user fees and sewer and water tax dollars, $2 million from various reserves, $5.5 million from the federal and provincial governments, $360,000 from development and $2.6 million from debt or sale of land. Under recreation, one of the biggest projects next year: the dressing rooms at the Neelin Street Commu-
nity Centre (arena). “We are looking at $1 million,” Hogan said. “We currently have about $100,000 in reserves that could be used for that project,” Hogan said. The other $900,000 would be borrowed funds. “Currently, within the recreation operating budget, we have a $60,000 amount to make payment towards that debt,” the treasurer said, “and we are also looking at our cost-sharing partners (Beckwith and Mississippi Mills) to share in this as well.” Most of the budget’s capital dollars are spent under public works. “There is the second phase of Henry Farm, work up in the Joseph Street area,” Hogan said. Of the $600,000 expense, $343,514 would come from tax dollars and $256,486 from Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) monies. Earlier this year, after Carleton Place lobbied for more fairness in Ontario’s grant funding formula, it saw an increase in funds. In 2016, OCIF monies totalled $144,352 – no change from 2015. By 2018, funds will rise to $362,918, and the following year, in 2019, the town will receive $553,877. Another significant project is the $1,533,996 rehabilitation of Central Bridge, the main crossing on Bridge Street near the town hall. The town is hoping to hear good news relating to its application for OCIF top-up monies. Carleton Place is eligible for a maximum of $1,380,596, which can be used to fund up to 90 per cent of the cost of the project. The remaining amount – $153,400 – would be the responsibility of the municipality. Successful applicants will be notified in early 2017 and projects must be completed by Dec. 31, 2018. “It is a significant project to come
up,” Hogan said. Coun. Doug Black asked if the town had an engineering report regarding the Central Bridge. “The railing needs to be strengthened,” chief administrative officer (CAO) Paul Knowles stated. “It does not meet the current standards.” Other projects under consideration run the gamut. There is heating and air conditioning at Carambeck Community Centre ($240,000), streetlights ($450,000), town hall exterior ($125,000), Bates Street servicing ($780,000), boat launch parking ($50,000), overlay ($200,000), arterial street scaping ($50,000), loader ($150,000) and benches and garbage containers ($15,000), just to name few. Under environment, most of the projects are funded by way of the sewer and water budget, which was approved by council on Sept. 27. Next year Carleton Place residents will see a 2.15 per cent increase in water and sewer rates. Examples of projects under environment: major maintenance at the sewer and water plants, $427,821; primary digester mixer at sewage plant, $130,000; Lake Avenue East forcemain, $60,000; and Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) monies, $1,378,368. CWWF is a federal program, providing municipalities with vital infrastructure monies to support the rehabilitation and modernization of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, as well as the planning and design of future facilities and upgrades to existing systems. The Ontario government is cost matching recipient contributions up to a maximum of 25 per cent of total eligible costs. For a project cost of $1,378,368, Carleton Place is eligible

to receive a maximum federal allocation of $689,184 and a maximum provincial allocation of $344,592. The town’s share will be $344,592. “We had to look at projects that were not planned in the next two years but would really be a good idea to do,” Knowles said. “As long as we submit an application with qualified projects, we should get the money,” he added. Projects to be done by way of CWWF monies are plentiful: line the watermain under the river at Flora Street; line sanitary sewers on Antrim Street and in Dunlop Business Park; rehabilitate piping in sanitary pumping stations and replace control panels in pumping stations and at the wastewater plant; design and construct improvements to the stormwater system from Arthur to Moore streets; and replace roofs at the water and wastewater treatment plants. The proposed 2017 budget was again discussed on Nov. 1, during the physical environment meeting. After Hogan presented the operating side of the financial plan line by line, he and council members sharpened their pencils. “I have flagged areas of the budget that could be eliminated to bring the tax increase to a more manageable level,” the treasurer said. “I am just wondering about this $5,000 for river clean up support,” Coun. Theresa Fritz said. “I am not sure how everyone feels, but if we are looking for extra money for the museum or youth centre, I would look at taking that and diverting those funds.” She noted the volunteer doing the clean up – resident Doug Snedden –

has done great work, “but we have not budgeted for this in the past.” “I think we have some other things...I would really like to see that $5,000 allocated elsewhere,” Fritz added. Mayor Louis Antonakos noted, “A considerable amount of time and effort has been put into that (river clean up) project.” “We always talk about our water, our quality of water...when you look at the amount of work that has been done, I do not think it is a lot of money,” he said.

Carleton Place Home Depot donates $1,000 to local legion for new shed BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The Carleton Place branch of the Royal Canadian Legion accepted a $1,000 donation from the local Home Depot on Halloween - Oct. 31. “I have never seen a gift card with that many zeros,” president Brian Comeau said. Branch 192 is using the funds to construct a shed at the back of its George Street headquarters, which will house poppy campaign materials as well as wreaths and other items returning from the cenotaph in Memorial Park following Remembrance Day. “Right now, everything goes in the legion’s basement, which is cramped, dusty and very hard to access,” Comeau said. “This new shed will help us a lot. We are extremely thankful to Home Depot.” The legion has one shed out back now; however it is not very sturdy. The new unit will rest a little further down from it, near the fence. Home Depot store manager Louis DiMarco and assistant store manager Dennis Beverman were at the legion on Monday to present the gift card to Comeau and poppy campaign chair and first vice president Peter Schaffer. “We support the legion and its poppy campaign,” Beverman said, “and we had the opportunity to do this.”

son, Corbin Rothwell of West End Forming in Almonte will be coming in and laying the shed’s cement foundation. “We thank West End Forming for its support,” he said. For 12 years Costello managed the poppy campaign, before Comeau took over three years ago. “Peter stepped up this year to look after the campaign,” Comeau said. “Even though Paul has stepped back, he is still a driving force. He has all the knowledge of this town and the poppy campaign.” Every year before Remembrance Day, observed on Nov. 11, the legion runs its poppy campaign, with poppy funds held in trust and used for approved purposes only. When people make a donation to the poppy fund the money stays in the community to help veterans and their family members.

Water safe for drinking in Carleton Place subdivision after main break However, the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, which was not that old, split open. Owing to its age, “it did come as a surprise,” Young said. Costs resulting from the incident are still being totalled. “The dust has not settled,” the public works director said. He thanked his staff and the many others who stepped up and worked together during the ordeal. “I also want to thank the public,” Young stressed. “They were very patient.”

A boil water advisory in the Westview Heights subdivision of Carleton Place ended on Sunday, Nov. 6, after drinking water samples supplying all homes in the sector showed the bacteriological water quality meets the Ontario Drinking Water Standards. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit imposed the advisory as a precaution on Thursday, Nov. 3, following a watermain break. As a result, all water used for drinking, cooking and personal care had to be heated to a rolling boil for a least one minute prior to use. The break, in the area of Mississippi Road between Morris and Barker streets, was repaired by Friday afternoon, Nov. 4. Throughout the duration of the advisory, a watering station was set up at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena). Residents within the affected area were able to pick up a daily allocation of drinking water. In an interview with public works director Dave Young on Monday, Nov. 7, he noted, “We have not been able to determine the specific cause of the watermain break.”

deeds. As an example, Major J. M. Bell was in charge of recruiting and commanding a full platoon of area men, but also did secret service work for the British government in Russia in 1917 and 1918, earning him his awards. Another local man, Philip Earnshaw, won three valour awards and became a Brigadier General in World War II, where he received additional honours. Two local men, Henry Letang and Thurlow Fraser, were chaplains, serving under fire at the front, as well as work with medical units and in burial duties. Three individuals served in the air and one man, Kenneth Burns Conn, who has been lost over time, was credited with shooting down 20 German planes, making him a top Canadian ace. Not to be forgotten were the women who signed up to serve as nurses. Three women with local connections, Mary Bliss, Ethel Holmes, and Flora Wylie, were awarded the Royal Red Cross medal for their brave work. The story of
these brave men and women can now be known by all; they are no longer forgotten heroes. For more information, contact the museum by phone at 613257-8503 or email appletonmuseum@hotmail.com.

Woman shares story of living with manic depression to educate, reduce stigma BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
Deirdre Palmer, a Montreal-born Almonte resident, 55, has manic depression. She was first diagnosed in her twenties and has continued to maintain her recovery for nearly two decades. Manic depression, or bipolar disorder, is a mental illness which causes a person to experience both periods of mania – increased energy levels, racing thoughts, increased risk taking behaviour like spending money, sleeping less and sometimes even, delusions of grandeur – and depression – feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, energy loss, change in appetite, difficulty making decisions, increased need for sleep and thoughts of death or suicide. “Both sides can be brutal,” said Palmer. Palmer has experienced the full gamut of symptoms and shared her story with Lanark County area police, health care providers and front-line mental health workers at the 12th annual LEAD Team Training Course, put on by Lanark County Mental Health, at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club between Oct. 19 and Oct. 20. The training session got some 60 first responders, police, paramedics, nurses and doctors as well as other mental health professionals in the same room to learn and talk about mental health trends and discuss collaborative approaches for the region.
Palmer’s story made it personal for those in attendance as she shared the trajectory of her recovery journey, which started some 30 years ago. Palmer first started to experience symptoms of manic depression after the death of her father when she was 21-years-old. At the time she had dropped out of McGill University’s drama program because she couldn’t cope with, what she called, her “depressive wackiness” and started to work at the Royal Bank of Canada. That’s when she had her first manic episode, where she wasn’t diagnosed with manic depression, but drug-induced psychosis because she’d disclosed that she’d taken up smoking pot. It was only until her doctor in Montreal had taken her off of all her drugs and recognized her manic and depressive episodes that she was given a name for her “depressive wackiness” – manic depression. Palmer recalled one particularly scary manic episode when she tried to go from Montreal New York City on a night bus in her twenties. She had one mission: to save New York City. Palmer didn’t bring any luggage with her on the bus and when she got to the US – Canada border she was sent back by the border guards who didn’t buy her story that she was planning on wearing her American boyfriend’s clothes. Her sister and her girlfriend picked her up and brought her back to Montreal and straight to the hospital where
Evelyn Harford
Deirdre Palmer, 55, recently spoke out about her experience with Manic Depressive Disorder. she was having hallucinations – seeing skulls in a nurse’s eyes – and had delusions that she was John Lennon, singing Give Peace a Chance in hospital. “That was one manic episode,” she said. Palmer’s second manic episode happened when she was 27 and living with her boyfriend in Montreal. Her boyfriend called the police and the ambulance because she was “disturbing the peace.” When the first responders arrived, Palmer was outside wearing nothing but a robe and running shoes. When the police officer asked Palmer who she was, she responded, “Jesus.” It was then the police officer told her it was time to go to the hospital and asked her to get in the ambulance.
She accepted. “I think I listened to the policeman because he did not force me into the ambulance, he asked me politely to get in,” said Palmer. “I remember that moment.” But manic depression has a serious dark side that Palmer has been no stranger to. She spoke about the time she attempted to commit suicide when she moved back to Ottawa with her boyfriend. She decided to swallow a whole bottle of lithium pills – medication used as a mood stabilizer – to end the pain that she was feeling. But in a moment of regret, after staring the mirror for a long time, she spat the pills back out into a big glob – a glob she would take her medication from until she picked up a new bottle of pills. “From then on I had to take my lithium dosage from this big glob that reminded me of what I had tried to do,” she said. It wasn’t until she experienced three tragic events at once – the separation from her husband, her mother’s sudden death from cancer and a job loss – that she was able to get on the right dose of medication. Those three events catapulted Palmer into a severe manic episode where she landed in hospital again, for the eighth time, where she was given the right medications that haven’t been altered in the last 16 years – aside from lowering the dose. Palmer said she believes she’s fully recovered.
She hasn’t been hospitalized or ill since receiving the correct medications and hopes it will stay that way. Without the support of health care providers and front-line workers, Palmer said she believes she wouldn’t have made it. She personally thanked Bev Goodwin, a psychiatrist based out of Brockville, who was in attendance at the training session, for her support and positive feedback. Palmer now lives in Almonte and has been on her own since 2000. “Nature is a great place to heal,” she said, standing outside the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club surrounded by the beautiful fall colours on the greens. As a self-taught artist, she now teaches a watercolour class for senior citizens near her sister’s house in Almonte. As part of Palmer’s recovery, she’s spoken out about her story as part of the Bell Let’s Talk campaign to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. “There’s no shame in having a mental illness,” she said, pointing to famous actors and artists who have battled through the same illness. “I (speak about my story) because it’s a challenge,” Palmer continued. “My life has been about challenges, and also help.” Palmer addressed questions the audience at the training session had about best practices to approach those with mental illnesses, and her message was simple – kindness is key.

Carleton Place mayor sworn in as member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Veterans put their lives on the line for their county, and becoming a member of the legion is the ultimate way to show your appreciation for that service. On Friday, Oct. 28, in front of legion members, friends and staff, Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos was sworn in to Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 by president Brian Comeau and first vice president and sergeant-at-arms Peter Schaffer. Looking on was Antonakos’ sponsor, retired United Nations peacekeeper Jake Gallipeau. In an interview with the Canadian Gazette before his swearing-in ceremony in the council chambers at town hall, Antonakos said he was honoured the legion accepted him as one of their own. “I have been meaning to become a member for a number of years,” he said. “I was trying to do it last year, but we just got too busy. The timing was finally right. All the stars lined up.” Both of Antonakos’ late grandfathers, Leonidas Antonakos and Dimitrios Katsoulis, served during the Second World War. “Louis lays a wreath at the (local) cenotaph every Remembrance Day for the Greek underground,” Gallipe-

Looking on is Antonakos’ sponsor, retired United Nations peacekeeper Jake Gallipeau. au noted. “He is an outstanding citizen, and his heart is with the legion.” On the whole, members swear allegiance to the sovereign, loyalty to the county and obedience to the legion’s rules and bylaws. Too, they vow not to participate in any organization that advocates the overthrow by force
of organized government in Canada. Comeau noted, “Members promote the work of the organization and actively participate in the poppy campaign.” As a result of joining the legion, members support the many services the organization offers to veterans,
serving military, RCMP and their families. “The annual membership fee is $60,” Comeau said, “and our meetings are the last Wednesday of the month, which is when we swear in new members.” Today, you do not need to be as-
sociated with the military in any way to be a legion member. “People do not understand this, unfortunately,” Comeau said. Branch 192 falls within Zone G6. The other branches within the district are Arnprior (#174), Almonte (#240), Kanata (#638), Lanark (#395), Perth-Upon-Tay (#244), Smiths Falls (#95) and West Carleton (#616). Antonakos said he is thrilled to be a member of the legion. “I encourage other residents in town – men and women – to participate,” he said. In August 2015, due to mounting financial pressures, branch 192 turned to the community for help. “When I think back a year and a half ago...we were close to closing our doors,” Comeau said. However, owing to the phenomenal spirit of the community, the legion is now in the black.

Carleton Place chief administrative officer Paul Knowles scheduled to retire BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Starting in 2017, Paul Knowles is scheduled to retire as Carleton Place chief administrative officer (CAO), but he is not leaving public service. Knowles, upon the hiring of a new CAO, will begin working with the town as a project manager. He will undertake special planning, building and public works projects, the town announced on Wednesday, Oct. 26. “Succession planning really is a concern across the county,” Mayor Louis Antonakos recently told the Canadian Gazette. “We have all these fantastic, long-serving employees...” He noted, when a person leaves an organization, typically, enough remain to retain the corporate culture. Unfortunately, Carleton Place has a handful of senior managers who could retire within a short time of one other. They are: clerk Duncan Rogers; public works director Dave Young; treasurer Phil Hogan; child care services director Jacquie Leach; and executive administrative assistant Jane Perry. “Within a three-year period we could have a complete rollover,” Antonakos said, “and this presents a challenge.” “We need to make sure our corporate knowledge is retained,” he continued.
Council and Knowles recognize the weight of having a new CAO in place to build the new management team. Accordingly, they have been diligently planning to ensure a smooth transition. “We have known for some time now that, in addition to me, six other senior members of staff are scheduled to retire in 2017 and 2018,” Knowles told this newspaper. “Council has made succession planning a priority.” “I have been CAO for about 23 years and the new CAO should be the one to recruit and build the new management team as the senior managers retire,” he added. When the new CAO is found, Knowles will step aside, but he will stay on in a supporting role – as a project manager to work on special projects. “For instance, the arena (new change rooms) will start next spring,” Antonakos said, “and this is a great first initiative for Paul to tackle.” “Normally, we would hire this out to a project manager, but Paul has all kinds of experience,” he added. “Other bigger stuff...the 2,000 homes proposed to be built on the other side of RONA and all kinds of water and infrastructure projects as the town grows.” The mayor called Knowles’ experience and leadership invaluable in making sure the community is well

Starting in 2017, Paul Knowles is scheduled to retire as Carleton Place chief administrative officer (CAO), but he is not leaving public service. Knowles, upon the hiring of a new CAO, will begin working with the town as a project manager. He will undertake special planning, building and public works projects. positioned for the future. “There are a number of special
projects related to development south of Highway 7, construction funded by grants and new legislation that need to be completed in the next two years,” Knowles said. “I have been very involved with these projects...professionally I would like to see these projects completed to close out my time with the town.” “However, as CAO I just would not have the time and therefore consultants would be required,” he added. Knowles has been Carleton Place’s CAO since 1993. However, his work with the municipality – in a consulting capacity with JA Knowles and Associates – commenced in 1986. Three years later, in 1989, Knowles was hired as the town’s engineer. “We have been very fortunate, over these past years, to have Paul as our CAO,” Antonakos said. In a media release, Hogan noted one of the projects Knowles is most notably credited with is the rehabilitation of the underground sewer and water system. “The town’s current system is one of only 16 in Ontario with the majority of its infrastructure having been updated in the last 25 years,” Hogan said. In the same release Rogers commented: “Anyone who has worked with Paul can easily recognize that one of his most valuable skills was his ability to not only consider the pres-
ent needs of the municipality but also think and plan successfully for future requirements.” The co-ordination of the development of the property south of Highway 7 is largely credited to Knowles. “It is amazing what he has managed to accomplish with respect to that project,” Young said in the communiqué. “I think there were quite a few people who thought it could never happen given the complexity of what was being proposed.” “Getting a group of people with such diverse interests like developers and property owners to come together and draft an agreement that satisfies everyone is a huge accomplishment,” he added. Knowles was instrumental in working with the Canadian Pacific Railway to acquire the parcel of land – and that land’s development – which is now home to the police/fire headquarters and former train station, as well as Coleman Street and the McNeely Avenue corridor. Other noteworthy projects that Knowles was involved with under the direction of council: the full rebuild of the existing sewage plant in 1992; the construction of an amalgamated daycare centre in 2009; the acquisition of Carambeck School and its conversion to a community centre; and land annexations with both Beckwith and Mississippi Mills.

The short life – Taking a look at Carleton Place during war BY ROB PROBERT
About a year ago, this newspaper was kind enough to run a series of short stories about the sad short lives of six Carleton Place soldiers (really not much more than boys) who lost their lives in the early horrors of the First World War. The first 11 Carleton Place volunteers departed from our train station on Aug.14, 1914. There was a big send off with all of the appropriate pomp and pageantry that could be expected from a small Canadian town. The first months of the war involved training and travel with all eventually ending up in England. Five of this initial group of brave young men would be killed in 1915, effectively the first real year of fighting. Others from this same group would perish at later dates in the war. Last year we looked at the lives and deaths of Arthur Simons (age 19), Neil McPhee (age 25), Lochard Campbell (age 19), Joseph Hamilton (age 24) and Robert Boreland (age 24). All five died at Ypres, casualties of the battle for St. Julian’s Farmhouse. Other Carleton Place men including Capt. Hooper were part of this particular battle. In the intervening months the war escalated with many notable battles and disasters. Canadian forces were fully engaged. In the entire war period some 329 men and women from Carleton Place volunteered for service. In 1916 the citizens of Carleton Place could be forgiven if they thought the war was so very distant, that we were well removed from the real effects of the war. Certainly all were aware of the war and the many stories in the press and from letters received at home from men overseas. Yes, five young men had been killed in the previous year and those families grieved, but news with a direct impact on Carleton Place was subdued by comparison for most of a year. The last casualties of 1915 had been from the St. Julian’s Farmhouse battle, Apr. 25, 1915. Unfortunately that precious calm was lost with the first announcement in April of 1916 of a Carleton Place casualty. Almost a full year had passed without further such hard news landing on our doorsteps. William Tyrie was killed on April 13, 1916. The entire town was awoken with that sad news. All grieved for that family and worried about their own loved ones away at war. This war was not fading away. In the next weeks we will reflect on
the men killed in 1916: William Tyrie, Sydney Hamilton, William John Wright, Cecil E Bryce, William John Griffith, and Frederick G. Trottman. All of these names, and others of the First World War, Second World War
and Korea are engraved on the Carleton Place War Memorial, some 94 names in total; 46 from the ‘Great War”. As well, scrolls in the Carleton Place Town Hall council chamber and in several of the older churches in Carleton Place list all

Penalties almost cost Canadians victory over Jr. Senators The Carleton Place Canadians had a 3-2 lead late in the game against the Ottawa Jr. Senators Friday night, Nov. 4, when a pair of penalties – one undisciplined, the other not so much – created the opportunity for Ottawa to tie the score with 1:07 remaining in regulation. “We got ourselves into trouble too, like the first penalty we took (late in the third), you know, Connor Merkley’s not taking a very good penalty – a very selfish penalty and then it kind of went from there,” said Canadians coach Jason Clarke. “The penalties that were called in the third period were atrocious,” he continued. “There’s nothing you can do about that; all you can do is control what you can control. I thought our penalty killing was good – both goals they scored were 6-on-4, they pulled the goaltender on both goals and got some good bounces.” After offensive struggles in the first two periods, the game was a 1-1 tie heading into the third period thanks to goals from Alex Friesen and Zachary Cross for Carleton Place and Ottawa respectively. Connor Hughes made 22 saves in the first two periods, and ended up making 40 saves in the game; while Ian Andriano got the role of starting

Above, with his arms raised, Alex Friesen (#19) celebrates his first period, power play goal. goalie for Ottawa, making 24 saves on the night. In the third period, the Canadians struck quickly with a pair of goals 1:05 apart. Connor Hill gave Carleton Place
the 2-1 lead with a power play goal 8:22 into the period with a one-timer that he fanned on, fooling Andriano as he slid past the shot that ended up catching a piece of the post on its way into the net.
Owen Grant doubled the lead to two goals with a shot from almost along the goal-line that banked in off of Andriano and into the net. Momentum changed in favour of Ottawa after a big hit from Logan Bu-
chanan on Cam White led to a boarding penalty to the young Canadians forward, and a fight between the two players. Although Buchanan won the fight and got the Canadians bench and the crowd of 407 people at Carleton Place Arena to their feet, the Jr. Senators took advantage of the power play with a goal from Jaren Burke while Andriano was on the bench for the extra attacker. Then the penalty troubles began for Carleton Place. Merkley took a slashing penalty by going in hard on the forecheck and the referee saw him being too aggressive with his stick. While short handed, Geoff Kitt went to chase down a loose puck in the Ottawa zone – again with Andriano on the bench and an empty net for Ottawa – but got tangled up with Thomas Stevenson. The two battled for the loose puck and as Stevenson got bumped down, he latched on to Kitt and brought him down to the ice but Kitt was the one who got the interference penalty. Ottawa couldn’t capitalize on the 6-on-3 advantage with the empty net but with Kitt still in the box, Nicolas See CANADIANS page A/CP22
It’s A Go! New Emergency Announced The cheers could be heard down the block as Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, announced that a new Emergency Department will be built at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH). It was our pleasure to welcome Dr. Hoskins to the hospital on October 28th to deliver the good news. This is exciting news for patients and families in our region. A new larger, 9000 square foot Emergency Department linked to the hospital will address current space challenges and enhance infection control standards. The new design will also accommodate expanded diagnostic and therapeutic care, as well as a secure operating room. And it will help improve wait times and patient satisfaction. Now the real works begins. The next step is the detailed planning and design phase. In the coming months, this phase will involve many key stakeholders including patients, neighbours, the community, staff and physicians. For the latest updates, please visit the Redevelopment Page on our website at www.cpdmh.ca “The new emergency department at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital will ensure that more patients are able to receive emergency health care services where they need them, when they need them. This project will result in expanded services that will provide better access for the residents of Carleton Place and the surrounding communities.”

Samson scored a power play goal to tie the game. “We weren’t too down (after giving up the goals) because we knew [the penalties] were bad calls,” Carleton Place captain Andrew Dodson said. “We just couldn’t get the right bounces but we battled through that and stayed positive. We knew we were going to pull out the two points and keep working hard, and we were lucky to do that.” Neither team could score an overtime goal forcing the game into a shoot-out. Cross was the first shooter for Ottawa and he slid the puck through the legs of Hughes cutting from Hughes’ blocker side across the crease to open up the goalie’s five-hole. Ottawa couldn’t add another goal in the shoot-out and Carleton Place was down to Merkley who had to score to continue the shoot-out. He made the same move as Cross and had the same result as he continued the game.
After Hughes stopped Jackson Alexeev, Dodson had a chance to win the game for the Canadians and he made no mistake. He faked a wrist shot before deking to the backhand and sliding the puck through the opened up five-hole of Andriano. “I was kind of nervous,” Dodson said about his attempt, “but I knew it was deep into the shoot-out and Hughes played great for us in the shoot-out and stoned those guys. I knew I had to bear down and went to my go-to move and was lucky it paid off.” The first four Ottawa shooters all tried similar moves against Hughes by going down on his blocker side before cutting across towards his trapper. “I don’t know, I thought about that too,” Hughes said. “I think they were trying to fake me out on the shot and then cut across. But after the first one, I kind of realized that they were going to try that move.” All three goals in the shoot-out were scored with the same move – a fake shot before going to the back-
hand to open up the goalie’s five-hole for the goal. “It’s really difficult (to stop) because the fake makes a goalie open up and when you open up it’s hard to get back closed up. It’s one of the more difficult moves to save for the goalie,” Hughes said.

Local historian releases latest book, By Word of Mouth – Snowdrifts and Sleigh Bells Sleigh bells are in the air in the latest book by local historian Claudia Smith. By Word of Mouth - Snowdrifts and Sleigh Bells captures the challenges of long ago winters in rural Lanark County and you into seasonal celebrations. The launch of the book will be held in the Middleville Community Hall on Sunday, Nov. 13. This charming book is a collection of winter and Christmas articles written by Smith over the last 26 years, for the Lanark Era. You will hear the crunch of snow as people go to poultry fairs, rural school concerts, shooting matches and millponds to skate. You will stand beside a horse-drawn
snow-plough as the teams are given a break from the heavy work and the men stamp their feet to keep warm. You will feel the bite of the wind as the rural mail sleigh bucks the drifts. And you will join the throngs of people travelling on the K&P Railway, heading home for Christmas. School and community concerts were popular events for young and old. Read about a “Grand Balloon Descension with Captain Santa Claus,” an 1885 extravaganza at the Almonte Town Hall that featured the “descent of Santa Claus in a mammoth and beautiful balloon that was literally covered with a great variety
of handsome presents.” By Word of Mouth - Sleigh Bells and Snowdrifts is illustrated with vintage photographs and drawings as well as a number of full colour, old post cards that are guaranteed to delight the reader. Of particular note in the cards are the many guises of the snowman, from a Second World War soldier to a snow-couple sitting romantically close on a log at a skating
