TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Joan Bray is the 2018 Carleton Place Senior of the Year. Bray, 93, was named at the seventh annual senior of the year banquet, held on Sept. 27 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. She was nominated alongside Dianne Nel, Garry Postma, Marion Reilly, Paula Sanderson and Gary Strike. To recognize the varied and significant contributions of seniors to the community, Waterside Retirement Community (WRC) established the honour in 2011, in partnership with the municipality. Bray moved to Carleton Place 14 years ago, coming from Cornwall, and since then she has been a very active volunteer in the community. Bray is a member of the St. James Anglican Church Women's Council, and she is associated with the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Auxiliary, taking weekly shifts in the gift shop. Too,

Bray has been selling Nevada tickets at the local Giant Tiger. An avid baker, she is always cooking something up for local charities. On her 18th birthday in 1943, Bray enlisted in the now named Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Initially, she tried to join up at age 16. As a medic for wounded soldiers coming home to Canada, she served in the CAF for three years - until 1946. Bray is a long-standing member of the Royal Canadian Legion, and since 2015, the Second World War veteran has been the Silver Cross representative during the Remembrance Day ceremony in Carleton Place. In 2017, the new veteran wing of Willis College in Arnprior was officially named the Joan Bray Veteran Learning Centre. Bray is a true ambassador of the wing, attending graduation ceremonies and more. She is also a recipient of the Queen's Golden Jubilee medal, and years ago, while residing in See SENIOR, page 14

23RD ANNUAL FIBREFEST SURPASSES EXPECTATIONS Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM) is pleased to announce that the 23rd annual Fibrefest - a festival of fibre arts - surpassed all expectations in promoting fibre art to the Almonte and greater Ottawa area community by raising just over $29,000 to support the operations of the MVTM. Fibre art refers to fine art whose material consists of natural or synthetic fibre and other components, such as fabric or yarn. It focuses on the materials and on the manual labour on the part of the artist as part of the works' significance, and prioritizes aesthetic value over utility. (Source: Wikipedia) A full slate of vendors including spinners, weavers, and fibre artists from across the province, as well as quilt shops and alpaca farms were on hand to promote their inspirational and unique creations to more than 1,800 visitors

during the Sept. 8 and 9 weekend. Guests enjoyed learning from local guilds who demonstrated their fibre art expertise in spinning, knitting, weaving, rug hooking, lacemaking, smocking and quilting; as well as exceptional food from North Market of Almonte. Fibrefest would like to acknowledge the financial support of their sponsors, Studio Three Fibre Arts, Manx Manufacturing Ltd and Beadaddict Roxann Blazetich-Ozols. Executive director/curator Michael Rikley-Lancaster shared his sincere thanks to all involved to make this event such a success. "Fibrefest would not happen without the support of our vendors, workshop leaders, special guest speakers, sponsors and most importantly, the dedicated volunteers who gift hundreds of hours to supporting MVTM and the

cause of fibre art." MVTM interprets the history of the woollen industry in the Mississippi River Valley, and the effects it had on the social, cultural and industrial development of the region. We also provide exhibits and education on fibre arts and a centre for the study of industrial textiles, while preserving our historic building and artifacts. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum

Tara Gesner/Metroland Hosted by the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, Fibrefest returned to Mississippi Mills over the weekend (Sept. 8-9). The two-day festival was held at the Almonte and District Community Centre (arena). Above, Wanda Bowring from Ottawa shows off her Gal Pals, which are made for comfort and kindness.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com For the first time, the rainbow flag was raised at the town hall in Carleton Place, marking Pride - a festival of all things LGBT.

Members of the local LGBT community gathered alongside Pride committee members and Carleton Place politicians, business leaders and residents on Friday, Sept. 28 to celebrate the moment.

Mayor Louis Antonakos commented, raising the rainbow flag "shows Carleton Place is a welcoming, diverse and inclusive community - no matter how you identify yourself or who you love." His words earned cheers from

the crowd. The inaugural Pride festival in Carleton Place took place on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Market Square, featuring a lip sync challenge, DJ, vendor market and so much more. The mayor congratulated the members of the Pride committee: Byron Wilson (chair), Kory Earle, Paola Villa, Kate Murray (Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association co-ordinator), Frances Ebbrell, Peter Harrison, Angie Mills and April Marie Wood. "I would like to thank Byron for his dedication to this very basic human right," Antonakos said. He added: "To everyone who

has joined us here today, your presence represents hop and solidarity." Speaking to the Canadian Gazette about the flag raising, Wilson expressed, "Seeing this beautiful LGBT flag being raised at town hall marked a historical moment for me, and for the obstacles I face as an openly gay resident of Carleton Place." He also called it significant for the residents who have passed on ..."they never had a chance to see this moment." Wilson referred to the rainbow flag as a symbol of freedom, diversity, equality, hope and strength. The flag flew at the town hall, 175 Bridge St., until Oct. 1.

AN UNEASY TRADE VICTORY Well we won ... didn't we? Canada's new free trade deal with Mexico and the United States is, well, done, we can at least say that. The deal was reportedly reached just a few hours short of the clock striking midnight this past Sunday, Sept. 30. It could not have come at a more dicey time - less than 12 hours later, Quebecers were waking up and heading to the polls. You can't make this stuff up, folks. Parti QuĂŠbĂŠcois leader Jean-Francois Lisee wasted no time in posting a video online condemning the pact - essentially saying that Quebec's dairy farmers had been thrown under the bus in exchange for saving Ontario's auto industry. The new deal (NAFTA is dead, long live USMCA?) does do one important thing immediately - it avoids a prolonged trade war. There will be no Brexit moment here. Free trade will still cross both borders. But there is one important sticking point. The tariffs on steel are still, as of this writing, still on, which has a negative impact on local businesses, like Central Wire in Perth. Those tariffs need to come down, and soon. (Negotiations continue there.) Now, as for opening up the dairy industry, it's complicated. Yes, you may be able to get access to more American milk, and prices may go down. That's what competition does. (And somewhere, you just know that Maxime Bernier is smirking, eyes twinkling, looking at his old leader, Andrew Scheer, thinking, "I told you so!" It was dairy farmers, many from his own Quebec, that cost him the Conservative Party leadership to Scheer by a narrow margin.) And was Canada's stand on supply management, protecting Canadian farms, not a deal-breaker? Apparently not. But in Lanark County, we are home to cattle and dairy farming. These are family businesses. These are our neighbours. Can the family farm compete against big American agri-businesses, who already produce too much milk as it is? The feds are promising compensation - but to what amount? And will it be enough to save the family farm? And do the Americans still ply their dairy farmers with subsidies? On the other hand, the Ontario economy has been helped, knowing that the auto industry will now not close up shop and head back home to Detroit. Dealing with The Donald is not easy. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland deserves plaudits (and a well deserved few days off) having to negotiate a deal that was never going to please everyone, dealing with an American side representing a mercurial president. (Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the deal "no easy feat." That's being diplomatic, sir.) There are also improved labour and environmental standards in the accord, and our cultural industries remain protected. The details are still to come. It may not be all things to all people - a relief to some, a headache to others. But we have a deal. And the threat of a job-killing trade war has lifted.

WHO WE ARE

VACATION MODE FOR A FEW WEEKS NEWFOUNDLAND HOSPITALITY AT ITS BEST, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column

I'm off for a few weeks to enjoy some much-needed time away before election night, so I won't be back in the office until then. We're heading east for a while to visit with some of Sweet Baby's siblings. Lexi will be at her favourite "spaw" and Mom is looking after Jack-O. It will be fun to meet his family, finally. He's the youngest of nine, so there are many people to meet. I'm a little in awe of this Newfoundland hospitality, though. I was budgeting for hotel accommodations and a car rental. "Don't be silly," Sweet Baby said. "We're staying with my sisters." "No way," I said. "We

can't impose like that. It's not right." "No babe," he said. "It's not right if we don't stay with them!" A phone conversation with one of his sisters confirmed that we are indeed, not staying at any hotel. OK, well that's one expense we won't incur. Awesome. "What about a car? We'll need to rent one," I said. "No, they have lots of cars," Sweet Baby said. "We can just borrow one." "You've got to be kidding me?" The last time I "borrowed" a car I wrapped it around a tree. That was a 1979 T-Bird my mother's and no, I haven't borrowed her car since 1982. That's a long time for my mother to hold a grudge, but I get it. "My sister has a Mustang," he said, a grin splitting his face. He knows that's my weakness. I have had - and wrecked! - a Mustang ... but I also have savoured and loved them. (I've had five: a 1966 [3-

speed coupe, hardtop red!], 1980, 1986, 1994 [wrecked], and a 1996.) I love them because we are the same age. "So borrowing a car won't be an issue?" "No, it won't be," he assured me. Sweet Baby also tells me that there is a cabin in the woods where we can hang out for a bit, but there is no electricity. Excellent, it will be a perfect vacation. I can't think of a better place to spend our first anniversary. Laurie Weir is the news editor for the Smiths Falls Record News and the Perth Courier. She and Sweet Baby are owned by a GSD, Lexi, and a rescue cat, Jack. She can be reached at ljweir@metroland.com but not until Oct. 22

OPINION

Animals, ATVs can coexist on trail says reader DEAR EDITOR: Since the railway line (Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail) will open soon for use, I have a few suggestions to make it safe for all. I heard of an ATV user approaching a rider and nervous horse. The ATV rider slowed down to approach and what did the rider do but glare at him. I've trained and showed horses for years and the first job I did was train the animal to all sorts of noise - plastic bags, clothes blowing on the line, vehicles, etc. Friends can help. Those than own an ATV, snow machine, tractor, bicycle, motorbike, chainsaw, you name it, you are going to encounter these on your outings so be prepared. Take each object separately. An ATV, for instance, have the horse smell it stopped and then with the motor running, then walk away and toward the machine. Do the same with the ATV meeting the horse behind at a slow speed. Turn and come up from behind and pass them, stop beside the horse and talk to the rider. When the horse is no longer concerned with any of this, try honking the horn, roaring the engine, etc. Keep in mind that the horse must stop on command. Turkeys and partridges can fly up and cause the horse to jump or shy, so again, a firm 'whoa'

should settle the animal, providing you have done a proper job of training. Dogs that challenge people, machines, etc. should always be on a leash. Anyone using a motorized vehicle should use common sense. Don't speed up or roar the engine while meeting a passing horse. This could cause a disaster. Also, keep to the right going around turns or over hills. You don't want a head-on collision. There is no excuse for stupidity. Be smart, be safe and see you on the trail.

JOAN PRETTY, CLAYTON

CONDO DEVELOPMENT TOO LARGE DEAR EDITOR: Regarding the proposed destruction of single-family homes and the proposed construction of a four-storey 33-unit condominium in the area of 50 Allan St. This proposed development is just too large, too close to single family homes, too close to the downtown, too out of character and would have too much of a negative impact on the lives, property and property values of the homeowners who reside in and around that neighbourhood. These people would also be constantly subjected to unwanted and unnecessary traffic and noise. This is just one prime example of what could ruin our town as we know it

if this type of development is allowed to escalate. I'm sure the residents of all our neighbourhoods never dreamed when they purchased their homes and raised their families that this could happen. If this type of development is to be considered in any size I would set a precedent that this could happen in almost every single family neighbourhood in our town. The issue of developers buying property and demolishing homes for the sole purpose of building condos and apartment complexes has to stop. They don't live here and obviously don't care as it's all about the money. The town has already set said property designated for this type of development which is not in the middle of our single family home neighbourhoods. The successful candidates in the upcoming election need to make this a priority for discussion and amend the Official Plan so that this issue is resolved once and for all. This intrusion into our lives and properties has to end. If you care about this town get behind this before it's too late. Imagine this happening in your neighbourhood. You have the right to protest and say NO.

PERTH MAN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com A Perth man has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after members of the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a man with a weapon at a residence on Brock Street South in Perth on Sunday, Sept. 30 at approximately 3 a.m. Police say that upon arrival, officers established that three people had sustained serious injuries.

Two women were transported by emergency medical services (EMS) to a local hospital and one adult male was air lifted to hospital by air ambulance outside of the area. The OPP sent "everybody that was working," said OPP Cons. David Bird, during a telephone interview on the morning of Monday, Oct. 1. "This would not be a single officer call." Bird later described the male's injuries as "major injuries," while the injuries of the two females were described as "seri-

The investigation is being conducted by the Lanark County OPP Crime Unit, supported by East Region Forensic Identification Services Unit (FIS), and detectives from the East Region Regional Support Team (RST), under the direction of Detective Inspector Rob Hagerman of the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB). Bird confirmed that Hagerman and his team are based out of the OPP county headquarters on Highway 7 in Perth, during the investigation, which he said was "active and ongoing." The crime scene, reported to be near the intersection of Brock and Drummond Streets, is still considered "an active crime scene," said Bird.

Partnering for Mental Health Care Mental Health is Health. That’s the theme of this week’s Mental Illness Awareness Week in Canada. The organizers note that mental health is more than being happy all the time. It’s about feeling good about who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life’s highs and lows. Everyone deserves to feel well, whatever their mental health experience. And we all need a support system to lean on.

insideottawavalley.com

At Almonte General Hospital (AGH) and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH), we work closely with Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH) to support patients with mental health concerns. Recently, we welcomed two new Community Mental Health Nurses – Jessie Titterton in Carleton Place and Genn Browne in Almonte.

“Essentially, we are available to act as a consultant to emergency department staff whenever needed,” notes Jessie. “We dig down to determine the cause of the problem,” adds Genn. “After our assessment, we can provide feedback to support the Emergency Department team in their decision-making. We also work closely with other organizations and agencies and can refer a patient to the appropriate resources.” Jessie is a Registered Nurse and began her career on the Inpatient Psychiatry Unit at The Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus. She has also worked in Mental Health

In addition to in-hospital support, LCMH also offers 24/7 support by phone. Anyone in Lanark County who is over the age of 16 can call self-refer. Referrals can be made by an individual, family, friend, physician, community hospital, community agency or police services. LCMH offers mental health services, groups and classes, as well as crisis intervention. Should you wish to speak to a mental health nurse, please call 613-283-2170. “Often, our role is all about listening and giving a patient’s concerns some space and validation,” sums up Genn. “We want to let them know they are not alone.”

Jessie and Genn work with hospital staff and the Emergency Department team to respond to urgent needs. They offer crisis support and consults, including mental health intake assessments.

MISSISSIPPI MUDDS YOUTH PRESENT ’THE MERCHANT OF VENICE’ STEPHANIE STEPHENS “You can tell your friends,” said Mark Piper, director of the Mississippi Mudds youth’s The Merchant of Venice told one of the many kids in the group. The teenager turned to him and very earnestly said, “I have no friends.” He paused for a moment. Then he simply said: “You do now.” I was sitting quietly at a table nearby when that exchange took place, working on some production materials for the show, and I overheard what was said. And the powerful nature of it sat with me the rest of the

rehearsal, the drive home, and for hours that evening. It’s been a few months now, and it still resonates with me, particularly because I know how true it was: the kids in that group are friends. They may be very different, go to different schools, and each of them may be struggling with something, but they have each other and a place where they belong. The Mississippi Mudds produces a youth Shakespeare production in the fall. This year they are putting on The Merchant of Venice, a story that has interested them and has made them really think, as

well as encouraged thoughtful discussions of revenge and loss and bigotry. Who would have even thought that kids as young as 12 or that 16, 17 year olds would be interested in learning about the famous bard and his plays? But every year Piper, a longtime Mudds member and Shakespeare director, takes a good-sized group of teenagers through learning a Shakespeare play, the nuances of the old language, the deeper meaning of the piece, and teaches them to truly understand far more See ‘THE’, page 15

Submitted/Mississippi Mudds The Mississippi Mudds youth present Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' at the Carleton Place Town Hall auditorium Oct. 19-21 and Oct. 26-27. The actors in the production are, back row from left: Julia Martin, Claire Campbell, Brady MacKay, Emily Burns and Kevin MacMillan. Middle row, from left: Colleen MacMillan and Bobby Martin.

SENIOR OF THE YEAR HONOUR ESTABLISHED IN 2011 Continued from page 1

Cornwall was named Senior of the Year. Additionally, Bray was active in the city's cancer society and LAWS. "Thank you so much," Bray said, accepting the honour. "I really was not ready for this." She acknowledged the efforts of her fellow nominees, "having worked with some of them." "There are so many people who do so much," she continued. "God has blessed me with the time to do this," Bray added. "I am so grateful, and I will go one for as long as I can."

Additional honours Two other honours were handed out Thursday: an Award of Distinction and Outstanding Service. The Award of Distinction is given to an individual who has been nominated as senior of the year more

Tara Gesner/Metroland Joan Bray was named the 2018 Carleton Place Senior of the Year dring the seventh annual senior of the year banquet on Sept. 27, held at the Canadian Golf &amp; Country Club in Ashton. She received the award from Waterside Retirement Community (WRC) executive director Denise Tessier, left, and WRC community relations manager Patty Guimond. than once. "If a person is repeatedly nominated, it is obvious his or her contributions to our community are outstanding and are deserving of special recognition," Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn explained. Flynn presented the 2018 Award of Distinction

alongside last year's winner, Flora Neave. The winners were Nel and Sanderson. The Outstanding Service Award, presented by Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos, went to Postma, who was not able to attend. Accepting on his behalf was Vivian Young. The award is in recogni-

tion of a person who has made volunteering with an organization his or her life's work. A group of people can also be considered for this award. "Tonight, we will not only be celebrating the accomplishments of our Senior of the Year nominees, but we will be celebrating National Seniors Day, which takes place on Oct. 1," WRC community relations manager Patty Guimond said. The Senior of the Year honour has generated much awareness. "When we started seven years ago we had 60 people come for dinner," Guimond noted. "Tonight, there are 180 people here." "It is just an absolute pleasure to see this room filled, with so many remarkable nominees and so many people here to help celebrate them," said WRC community director Denise Tessier.

you walk into the hospital, any piece of equipment you use ... look to your left and look to your right ... someone has contributed funds to pay for it." She added: "Events like this make a really big difference." The hospital's auxiliary has 102 volunteers, and there are more than 150 volunteers helping the foundation. "At least three or four of tonight's nominees help us at the foundation," Arseneau said. "I am so pleased." In 2017, the hospital in Carleton Place had over 50,000 patients. Tessier recognized Guimond and her team for "everything you do to make the night a success." "Everyone works tirelessly for this," she stressed. The senior of the year decision-making committee consists of past winners Barry Desarmia (2012), Carol Dryburgh (2013), Hilda Docker (2014), Ronette Vines (2015), Yvonne Kilpatrick (2016) and Hopkins (2017).

The silent auction supported the CPDMH Foundation, with 100 per cent of the proceeds used to purchase patient equipment. "We are honoured to be here once again as the recipient of the funds this event raises," CPDMH Foundation executive director Robyn Arseneau stated. The foundation was established almost 25 years ago as a mechanism for the community to raise funds for needed patient care equipment. "The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care funds the programs and services, but it is up to the community to find all the funds required for the needed patient care equipment," Arseneau explained.

than any of my English classes in high school did. These teenagers have intelligent discussions about controversial topics, become able to read the dialogue with fluency, and they demonstrate a deeper understanding of the content. These kids speak using developed articulation, are expressive, use physicality to complement what they are saying, and independently use theatre and Shakespearean jargon now. Piper does this on his own time, and he is committed to this group because of his love of the theatre and the incentive of passing on a love for Shakespeare. But it’s the social-emotional positives that are deeply moving for me, watching quietly from my seat outside of the action. The kids are inclusive to each other, warm, encouraging, and genuinely care about any troubles or successes one another may be experiencing in their lives. They accept each other as individuals, regardless of any adversity that one may be enduring. They talk freely and openly. This rehearsal space becomes a safe space. It becomes an opportunity for them included, challenged, and successful. They are welcoming to each other, making one another truly feel as though they belong, which is arguably the thing that a teenager wants to feel more than anything else. Piper has taken a chance on the kids — encouraging responsibility and commitment as well as helping them to develop their craft. The teenagers put down the devices, and come twice a week to rehearsals all summer long. Last year, he took a chance on my son, allowing an eleven-year-old the opportunity to become part of the little family the kids have created and be a part of the show. He was shy, but each of those kids in the cast reached out to him. And this year, from day one, he was one of the gang, and ex-

tremely happy and proud to be there. We are so fortunate to have the Mississippi Mudds as part of the Carleton Place community. Grown-ups have opportunities to act, sing, and dance via the adult performances, exploring that

Carleton Place is having a big milestone celebration in 2019, and you are invited to join in the festivities. As you may or may not know, next year is the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the founding families of Carleton Place in 1819. We have celebrated our anni-

versaries in the past with Old Home Week in 1924 and almost 50 years ago in 1969, and the 200th anniversary will be no different. The celebrations are being organized by a committee of people representing various stakeholders within the community. The organizing committee consists of Joanne Henderson, Jessica Hansen, Sean Redmond,

Submitted by the Carleton Place A historical photo of Carleton Place Old Home Week in 1924.

Bernard De Francesco, Robert Probert, Jennifer Fenwick-Irwin, Robert McDonald, Jackie Kavanagh and Shane Edwards. Some of the committee members have long family connections to the town, while others are newer to Carleton Place. The description of Old Home Week in 1924 described it as a big event that "was opened by ringing of church bells and sounding of the whistles or bells of the railway shops of Findlay Brothers foundry and of the Bates & Innes and Hawthorne Woolen Mills. The week's program was a result of months of planning and preparation for the return of the town's young and old boys and girls from distant and nearby points." Everything from parades to fireworks to shows were all combined to fill the seven-day programme. The chief sports events were an assortment of everything from baseball and hockey to cricket and old-timers' quoit matches. District relics, curios and heirlooms were exhibited. Next year's celebrations will be similar, although some busi-

nesses are long gone with their whistles and bells. We look forward to once again celebrating our community's history, and this time there will be almost 100 more years of our heritage to celebrate. Updates will be provided for the rest of 2018 through articles like this one, and on the webpage: www.carletonplace200.ca.

PRIDE FESTIVAL CELEBRATES LOVE, ACCEPTANCE beancars.ca

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The first ever Pride festival in Carleton Place was one big, happy and proud day of celebrations. Held on Sept. 29 at the Market Square, the event attracted a few hundred men, women and children — exceeding all expectations of organizers. “To me, this was a life changing moment, supporting the local and area LGBT communities,” Pride festival committee chair Byron Wilson told the Canadian Gazette. On top of Wilson, the other members of the Pride festival committee are Kory Earle, Paola Villa, Kate Murray (Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association co-ordinator), Peter Harrison, Frances Ebbrell, Angie Mills and April Marie Wood. “We wanted a festival of openness and inclusion, and it has been a total success in this regard,” Wilson said. Festivities on Saturday included a lip sync battle, drag show, vendor market, kids zone, refreshment truck, music by DJ Rush N Noise and much more. From the bottom of his heart, an emotional Wilson thanked his committee members and their families for a job well done, along See FESTIVAL, page 24

KNOWING THE DOS AND DON'TS OF FLYING IS VITAL THERE ARE MANY HELPFUL TIPS FOR TRAVEL, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column

I don't know who coined the oft-uttered phrase "practice makes perfect?" I'm sure it applies in certain cases, but definitely not in

some situations. Obviously there are things in life you can't practice for! On the other hand you can almost always prepare for a given set of circumstances. If you know how to prepare that is! One good example is flying. There are a number of dos and don'ts to consider when you are planning to take to the air, especially if you are embarking on a long journey. My wife Kathleen retired recently and we are currently preparing for a European vacation with

good friends and longtime travel companions. Because we're experienced travellers we have developed a routine which, when it comes to long distance travel, is vital. Start with lists of what you know you have to take with you. Passports, credit cards, foreign currency and any prescription medications should be kept on your person or in a readily accessible container, preferably your handbag or carry-on case. Don't put prescription meds in checked baggage which travels in the air-

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH METROLAND MEDIA

CARLETON PLACE ANNUAL APPEAL

craft cargo hold. If your bag (s) don't show up at the other end and they contain vital materials you will have a very bad start to your trip! Flying is the most important part of any long haul journey which makes it especially important that you plan what and how much to take with you and where to pack important items such as a change of clothes. Speaking from personal experience I can tell you that there is nothing worse than arriving overseas only to discover that your checked bags haven't followed you. I don't want to alarm anyone. Lost luggage is a relatively rare occurrence. But it does happen which makes being prepared particularly important. To prevent such an occurrence, here's my advice.

Kathy and I take carry-on bags large enough to hold a change of clothing (or two), along with extra socks and under garments. Make sure your carry-on also contains vital travel documents. Don't over pack! Mixing and matching items of clothing means you can diminish the load you originally intended to carry. Hauling heavy suitcases through airports, train stations, up and down staircases and elevators and along busy sidewalks is murder. When flying we prefer to pre-book our seats so we don't get caught in the airline seat shuffle. Talk to you travel agent about the best available options. There's nothing wrong with being health conscious when you're flying either. Nobody wants to catch a cold, flu bug or another virus while jetting to their destination. Oddly the aircraft wash-

room isn't as dirty as the areas in and around your seat. Germaphobes will tell you that the tray table at your seat harbours more germs than any other part of the aircraft. Carry wipes (containing at least 62 per cent alcohol) and use them to sanitize any surface your hands are likely to contact. To be totally honest the worst part of flying for me is airports. Some are better than others but in the post 9/11 world security checks and more security checks means the worst part of flying is actually getting to the aircraft. It's all very necessary of course. But in my experience actually boarding the plane and flying to your destination is usually the least problematic part of travel today.

University hearing study seeks participants.

| Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette | Thursday, October 4, 2018

8TH YEAR FOR RUN IN MEMORY OF LOCAL TEEN Continued from page 3

grams to veterans and first responders suffering from mental illness and PTSD. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth after traffic accidents. "I had hoped the statistics would have gone down in 10 years; however, I was informed recently they had not," Nicole said. Getting emotional, "I do not know what the answer is, but I do know doing nothing will not resolve the problem," she continued. "We must continue our work, one baby step at a time," Nicole added. New this year, Nicole introduced the Monarch butterfly as a symbol of hope, releasing 12, which represent each year since Brett's passing. "Regardless of what we are going through in life, there is always hope," she said. "The beauty in a person's soul can return if given a chance." Nicole stressed: "Do not make this event the only opportunity to talk about suicide or substance abuse."

Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing

loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

Reid spoke about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a mental illness, typically triggered by a shocking, frightening or dangerous event - either by experiencing it or witnessing it. Because of the duties associated with their job, PTSD is usually suffered by firefighters, police officers, paramedics, correctional workers, nurses, emergency dispatchers, enlisted people and veterans, just to name a few. "The causes of PTSD are more and more widespread than we imagined," Reid stated, and "it is absolutely vital to treat PTSD with greater understanding." "What Nicole is doing here today is a wonderful part of that," he added. Skube noted the topic of suicide and mental health was so important. Looking at statistics, one stood out to him: every year, nearly 4,000 Canadians die by suicide. "In one year alone, we lose 100,000 years of poten-

tial life," Skube said. "This number is staggering." He mentioned the death of three Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers in August. As a result, the OPP has launched an internal review on what might be preventing those within its ranks from seeking help with mental health issues. Although the stigma attached to mental illness has been reduced in the last few years, there is still a lot of work to do. "It starts with everyone here," Skube said. He reminded everyone to never underestimate the power of a small gesture, whether it is offering a person a smile or asking if he or she needs to talk.

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

PRIDE FESTIVAL EXCEEDS ORGANIZERS’ EXPECTATIONS

Continued from page 21

with supporters, volunteers and vendors. Other kudos went to “my drag sister — Tanya King, as well as Ms. Manhattan and Ms. Horizon for bringing it all to the stage ... all of you are amazing,” he said. Wilson also highlighted DJ Rush N Noise for “spinning amazing tunes all afternoon.” A number of Carleton Place council members attended the Pride festival, along with candidates run-

ning in the 2018 municipal election. A day earlier, for the first time, the rainbow flag was raised at the town hall, marking Pride. At the time, Mayor Louis Antonakos commented, the act “shows Carleton Place is a welcoming, diverse and inclusive community — no matter how you identify yourself or who you love.” According to Wilson, Saturday’s Pride festival “was magical, and to prove it, a double rainbow appeared as our event was

wrapping up.” “We threw this town an excellent party,” he said. Proud to live in Carleton Place, Wilson cannot wait for the town’s 2019 Pride festival, which has been set for July 20. With Pride knowing no boundaries, he is “truly proud to set this festival in motion for the future.” Businesses displayed rainbow flags or related decor in their storefronts, and some private residents did the same at their homes.

Tara Gesner photos/Metroland Above: Carleton Place’s first ever Pride festival on Sept. 29, held at the Market Square, attracted a few hundred men, women and children. Left: Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon is performed during the festival.

There is a special and magical garden in the Charlevoix region of Quebec. It is a private garden that is open to the public only four times a season, by reservation only. Jardins de Quatre-Vents was the

brainchild of Frank Cabot, a wealthy industrialist who decided he preferred gardening over the corporate world. The garden covers 20 acres and contains 24 different gardens. It is an example of large landscape gardening at its finest.

On Saturday, Oct. 20, at 4 p.m., the Pakenham Horticultural Society is pleased to take you on a virtual tour of this extraordinary garden. The club will host a special viewing of Sebastien Chabot's award-winning

documentary The Gardener, at the historical Arnprior O'Brien Theatre, 147 John St. N., Arnprior. The film is 88 minutes long. For more information on the film, email pakenhamhort@gmail.com or call 613-256-4768.

OPINION

FATHER WENT ALONG WITH THIS WARMING FALL FAMILY TRADITION STORY OF JOAN OF ARC ETCHED IN HER MEMORY, MARY COOK RECALLS Mother was never at a loss when it came time to get the family together for a bit of fun. So we celebrated every holiday, even if we didn't have the remotest connection to it. That included Lincoln's birthday, St. John The Baptiste Day, the Twelfth of July. At this time of year, Mother was able to work around the sad story of Joan of Arc through the

MARY COOK Column

simple act of the burning of the fall leaves. Of course, it was called "The Burning of the Leaves Day," but I knew there would be a heavy emphasis on the Joan of Arc story, which caused me no end of grief. I hated the story I knew was coming with the burning of the leaves, but once we got that out of the way, we got down to the seri-

ous business of watching the mountain of leaves go up in smoke. It took us a period of several days, and sometimes most of a week for what we called "The Burning at the Stake Night." I called it The Burning of the Stake Night, which I thought was more humane, as I pictured the young French saint being tied to a stake and going up in flames. But we had to listen to the story before we actually lit the pile of leaves, which Emerson said took all the fun out of the evening. To get ready, we raked moun-

tains of leaves into a huge mound in the centre of the front yard. This always took place on a Saturday, and we had to have the pile well away from the barns and the old log house, or the whole place could go up in flames. Father also insisted we burn a small pile at a time, so that the flames wouldn't get out of hand. Once we got the Joan of Arc story out of the way, we would settle down to enjoy the spectacle before us. We each would have a long slim piece of green wood for what I considered the most fun of the entire evening. Mother would

PLEASE RECYCLE OUR PAPER

Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette | Thursday, October 4, 2018 |

have placed a tin plate of sliced pieces of back bacon, on the seat of a kitchen chair, and these we threaded onto the stick, and with the bacon fat sizzling into the fire, we'd watch the pieces cook into a golden brown ... crisp and delicious morsels to pop into our mouths when they were cool enough to eat. Over the evening we would go through a plate full of bacon pieces. It would take at least two hours to work through the mound of leaves, and then Mother would take her harmonica out of her apron pocket, and we'd all sing the songs we knew so well. Long after the last ember had died down, we would stay on the logs we had used as benches and watch Father take a pail and fill it from the watering trough and douse what was left of the burning leaves. For days our clothes would smell of burning leaves. We wouldn't be wearing our school clothes, so we didn't carry the odour off the farm. But I loved the smell of the bonfire, and I could never pass the back door where our clothes hung on a nail, without pressing my nose into the folds of whatever I had worn the night we had burned the leaves. Father didn't think much of the effort we went to. In his day, he would tell us, the leaves were left where they had fallen. The snow would cover them over the winter, and grass would grow right on top of them. But he went along with yet another idea of Mother's that she brought to the farm at Northcote. My sister Audrey said to him, it was the line of least resistance. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?
