IMPACTING YOUR COMMUNITY

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com The owner of a retirement residence on boil order for 20 months insists overzealous regulatory authorities won't force him to close. The 50-bed Country View Lodge near Pakenham that caters to low-income seniors is down to 15 residents and plans are in place to move others out as accommodations are secured. Ali Abbas bought the business five years ago. For 33 years the residence passed various inspections by making small upgrades along the way, he said. Abbas inSee RESIDENTS, page 2

RESIDENTS FINDING NEW ACCOMMODATIONS Continued from front

dicated he had good relations with the Mississippi Mills Fire Department up until July 23 of this year. "We hadn't had issues before that," he said, claiming the fire chief visited the residence "to find things." Written orders and reprimands are plastered on the front doors of the building. They include: . A boil water (don't drink the water) order from the local health unit dated Feb. 8, 2017; . A fire drill failure observed by the fire department in which staff couldn't locate a fire, remove residents, and close the door within the approved time limit on July 23, 2018;

. An order to increase staff to at least two (including one supervisor) during evenings issued this July 23; . An electrical inspection order saying, "It was found that by reason of inadequacy or want of repair the electrical instillation and the wiring therein creates or poses a risk of fire," dated July 23. . An order to link the building's fire alarm system to the fire department, again on July 23. Abbas said another order was to replace the existing fire doors. However, the former doors were up to code but had been painted over. The former chief knew that, he said. Mississippi Mills Fire Chief Scott Granahan took over on Oct. 23. He won't address Abbas' claims.

"There will be no comments made," Granahan said. The health unit did not respond to an interview request prior to print deadline. As for the boil water order, Abbas said the area is notorious for hard water that smells bad due to naturally occurring sulphur. The residence has always offered bottled water, he said, adding staff perform daily chlorine tests on the cooking and cleaning water, and about twice a month send samples away for laboratory testing. He faces the prospect of purchasing a $34,000 septic tank to eliminate the need for chlorine and is hoping for funding to defray the cost. "There is nothing wrong with the water right now," he said.

THE ISSUE: AUTHORITIES HAVE TOLD A HOME FOR LOW-INCOME SENIORS TO MAKE COSTLY CHANGES LOCAL IMPACT: ELDERLY RESIDENTS ARE BEING FORCED TO LEAVE THE PAKENHAM AREA

Electrical issues are bound to be found in any building that, like his, is 50 years old, said Abbas, who is a realtor. But he called in electricians for Oct. 27 anyway. He agrees the perception is bad, but that 90 per cent of the work is done and the notices can't be removed until 100 per cent is done. "It's not like we are being neglectful. We are doing the best we can." He has until Nov. 6 to fix any problems in a pumphouse on the property. There is little profit from the business; clients pay much less than the larger facilities. After purchase, he put $500,000 in reno-

vations to the seniors' home. Abbas has even covered a portion of four residents so they could live there, he said. "I put a lot of money into the building and it's extremely expensive to do all this other stuff," said Abbas. "This has been very stressful financially and emotionally. My family is stressed. My wife is pregnant.” See ANOTHER, page 39

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Stonefields Estate traditionally helps people celebrate the milestones in their lives, but the tables were turned Oct. 19. The rustic event destination in Beckwith was honoured as 2018 Business of the Year during the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce's sixth annual Business Awards of Excellence gala, held at The Grand Hotel. The award is bestowed upon a business that excels in business operations, financial management, environmental practices, customer service, sales and marketing. A strong track record of community involvement and support is also an asset. "This award-winning business employs dozens of people locally, part-

ners with many local businesses regularly as part of their service delivery and has grown exponentially since they opened just a few years ago," noted Donna MacDonald, past chamber board chair who shared MC duties for the evening with current chair Jamie Law. "The owners have built up this business, one small carefully thought out step at a time. Their mantra - striving for excellence focuses on teamwork, customer service, sales, marketing, business management and operational excellence." Rob Carpenter of The Beckwith Butcher, 2017's Business of the Year recipient, announced Stonefields Estate as the winner.

CEREMONIAL FIRST POPPY HANDED OUT IN CARLETON PLACE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Poppies bloom on the lapels of Canadians every year, honouring the country's veterans and remembering the fallen. The Royal Canadian Legion conducts its Poppy Campaign from the last Friday in October to Nov. 11 - Remembrance Day. The legion's many branches distribute poppies freely; however, do-

nations are invaluable, helping to support veterans, serving military, RCMP and their families. At Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place on Oct. 26, Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn helped kick off the local Poppy Campaign, receiving the ceremonial first poppy from legion president Peter Schaffer. "As a 31-year member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192, it was an ho-

nour to receive the first poppy of the 2018 Poppy Campaign as deputy mayor of the town of Carleton Place," Flynn told the Canadian Gazette. He added, "I will be doing my usual duty, along with many of my fellow comrades, attending one of the locations where those who wish can receive their poppy and show support with a donation of their choice." Legion members swear loyalty to the sovereign and Canada, as well as compliance to the rules and bylaws of the organization. Moreover, members promote the work of the legion and must actively participate in the Poppy Campaign. The Great War Veteran's Association of Cana-

da, the Royal Canadian Legion's predecessor, officially adopted the poppy as its Flower of Remembrance in July 1921. The Royal Canadian Legion's 2018 Poppy Campaign features a new digital poppy, which can be found online at mypoppy.ca. Canadians who donate online will receive a digital poppy in remembrance of a veteran of their choosing. On Nov. 11, the Remembrance Day ceremony in Carleton Place is held at the cenotaph in Memorial Park, which neighbours the Carleton Place Public Library. First World War hostilities formally ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

FARMING FAMILIES, MUSEUMS AMONG THOSE SALUTED AT BUSINESS APPRECIATION EVENT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Nineteen businesses with a total of 1,000 established years were honoured by Mississippi Mills Oct. 18. Guests gathered at Almonte Old Town Hall for the third annual Mississippi Mills Long Term Business Appreciation Event, paying tribute to businesses who have been active in the community for 25, 35, 50 and more than 65 years. The event, co-ordinated by council and the community & economic development committee, has recognized 49 businesses since 2016 through nominations from the public. According to Mayor Shaun McLaughlin, longstanding businesses contribute to the economic development of the municipality. One of the honourees in the 65 years or more category, Emerald Acres farm, has been in operation for 181 years. "That's a record," he remarked. "Our town includes 1,451 businesses, more than any other Lanark County community," McLaughlin continued. "Many of those businesses are long established and I doubt we'll ever run out of people to have these kind of nights ... it's a great way to show gratitude for the people who invest in this town." This year, a wide variety of businesses earned awards, including a world-renowned sculptor, local museums, golf courses and small engine repair. Each business was presented with a Mississippi Mills pin and certificate of appreciation from McLaughlin and Coun. Jill McCubbin, while councillors Jane Torrance and Denzil Ferguson provided biographies of their history and accomplishments. A reception featuring desserts from local bakeries was held afterwards. Honoured in the 25 years or more category were Henneman Stanley Design (25 years); Pakenham Highlands Golf Club (25 years); James Naismith Museum (27 See 19, page 19

NON-VOTERS SNUB DEMOCRACY Congratulations to all the successful candidates in the municipal elections. In fact congratulations to everyone who put their name forward to ensure voters had a choice this year. That certainly wasn't the case in all of Ontario's municipalities. There's a disturbing trend that is seeing more and more acclamations in 120 municipalities, including Beckwith and Drummond-North Elmsley. In all, 26 full councils, including almost 500 councillors, were acclaimed this year up from 18 four years ago. It's not easy being a council member these days what with all the complexities and liabilities imposed on municipal officials from above. Add the modern demands of the job, the need to keep up with continually changing trends and technology, and the insidious pressure coming from social media critics, it's a wonder anyone runs for council. It's certainly not for the pay. As it is a part-time job, often with full-time hours, it requires an ability to juggle municipal duties with one's job unless you happen to be retired. And while many retirees prove to be effective councillors, it's better to have more diversity on council (there are still far too few female candidates) than having all members over 60. In Smiths Falls, voters elected first-time councillors Niki Dwyer and Christopher McGuire, both under 35 years of age. So special compliments to first-time candidates, especially the younger ones who brave getting snubbed by older voters distrustful of the new generation. It's unfortunate that it usually takes turmoil to engage the electorate. For example, in Carleton Place, "out of 7,820 registered electors, 4,302 voted, which is a turnout of 55.01 per cent," deputy clerk/returning officer Stacey Blair noted. In Mississippi Mills, voter turnout was 59.7 per cent and in North Grenville, 47.1 per cent, matching its all-time best 2010 numbers. In Smiths Falls, 49.8 per cent of voters headed to the polls, down from 53 per cent in 2014. With most municipalities into their second or third elections with Internet, telephone and/or mail-in balloting that features an extended voting period, there should be no excuse for people not to vote. Even if you don't think most candidates are worthy of your support, at least vote for one or two, or even cast a blank ballot as a sign of protest. Of course, that would mean making an effort to find out enough to make an informed choice. But not doing so is a slap in the face to those who made the effort to put their names forward for election in an effort to make a difference. And especially an insult to those we're honouring over the next two weeks, good citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could democratically choose our leaders. Your ancestors and ours.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY OCT. 26 MARKS START OF POPPY CAMPAIGN DEAR EDITOR:

We are indeed fortunate to live in a free country where the opportunity for a rewarding and fulfilling life is available to each and everyone. One specific group we can thank for our peaceful, and secure and free nation is our veterans. It was their sacrifices throughout our proud history that paid the price for our ability to live in the greatest nation on earth. Each year the members of the Royal Canadian Legion eagerly exercise their most important responsibility by taking part in the annual poppy campaign. They do so with glad hearts and a thankful spirit as they treat this event as a sacred trust placed in their care to show true and sincere appreciation to those who gave so much. This tradition allows us to share the thanks we give with you, to more than 119,000 Canadian men and women who paid the ultimate price in the First World War, Second World War, the Korean War,

peacekeeping missions and Afghanistan. Our operations abroad have brought new veterans home to their families and communities, and to them we pledge the same support and aid we have offered those that have gone before. As we begin this year's campaign, we are indeed grateful to the generosity and thoughtfulness shown year and year again by all who have assisted us by proudly wearing the red blossom, or purchasing and displaying memorial wreaths. Your outstanding commitment to this cause has allowed us at Branch 192 in Carleton Place to provide aid to ex-service personnel and their families; bursaries to forward the educational pursuits of our youth; and the purchase of much needed hospital equipment and supplies. These contributions are held in trust by the legion and are disbursed in accordance with the legion's national bylaws.

management system," Young noted, and "the resiliency study confirmed treatment capacity is sufficient for several more years, including projected growth." Regarding wastewater system performance in 2018, there was one odour complaint. "We had zero effluent parameter exceedances," Young advised, and "there was one blocked sewer (municipal main) complaint." Two kilometres of structural lining was completed, and major initiatives at the wastewater facility included the following: bar screen replacement; replacement of the digester tank mixer; and complete cleanout of digester tank. In regards to asset management, the average age of the town's underground system is just under 25 years. "Undergrounds are forecasted to last 100 years, See BUSY, page 17

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.

In 2019, Carleton Place residents will swallow a 2.1 per cent increase in water and sewer rates. The municipality presented its proposed 2019 water and sewer budget to the public on Oct. 16 during the corporate services meeting, which was chaired by Coun. Ross Trimble. Treasurer Trisa McConkey noted a Carleton Place household with one to two people would see a bill of $890.64 for the year, which represents an $18.32 hike. Owing to quarterly billings, the increase amounts to $4.58. A home with three to five people pays $935.64 in 2019. The increase of $19.24 works out to $4.81. Rate changes take effect on Jan. 1. The night's presentation was threefold, encompassing a review of 2018, how the town is managing its water and sewage system, as well as the pro-

posed 2019 budget. "We had a busy 2018," director of public works Dave Young said. "We had a number of pretty significant accomplishments in relation to our infrastructure." He noted the following: south east pumping station (phase 2); 150 m watermain structural lining; resiliency studies (water and wastewater facilities); condition assessment for pumping stations; and 600 m new sewer and water infrastructure. In regards to performance measures - water and wastewater systems in 2018 there were no watermain breaks. "I am always hesitant to make this statement," Young said. The town earned an impressive 95.3 per cent inspection rating from the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). The review was undertaken in January. "We had a successful external audit of the quality

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.

HOUSING STUDY FOR COUNTY, SMITHS FALLS APPROVED The following are items discussed during the regular Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, Oct. 24 at the county administration building in Perth. Council has approved in principle the Housing Study for Lanark County and Smiths Falls, which aims to assess housing needs and analyze demand while providing concrete actions. Social services director Emily Hollington, in her previous role as housing renewal co-ordinator, presented the study at the community services committee meeting earlier this month. The process to holistically assess the county's housing situation began in February under council direction. Hollington explained the process included Statistics Canada data, input from local municipal

planners and service managers, data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, as well as public consultation that included three public meetings, public and service provider surveys, and feedback from about 300 residents and 20 service providers. The study examined trends in age distribution, household size, tenure (renter/owner), median household income and prevalence of low-income. Priority areas were identified, including a need to improve access to affordable housing; a need to improve housing options (including accessible units); a need for additional supportive services partnered with permanent housing, recognizing marginalized groups; and a need to improve coordination and collaboration in the community.

Hollington outlined five strategic directions, including increasing the supply of affordable housing with a schedule to meet and maintain service level standards; planning for a diverse range of housing choices; stabilizing and revitalizing the current social housing stock; ensuring an adequate supply of appropriate, supportive and universal housing; and educating the community on local housing needs and demands and offer incentives to developers building affordable housing. Hollington said the study will be used to inform the county's 10Year Housing and Homelessness Plan. CERB contract renewed Council has authorized the renewal of an agreement with the OPP for a five-year term to provide 911 Central Emergency Re-

porting Bureau (CERB) services. At the corporate services committee meeting earlier this month, emergency services coordinator Garry Welsh explained 911 systems use a call centre, referred to as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Incoming 911 calls are transferred by Bell to the PSAP and the location and phone number is provided. Lanark County has had agreements with the OPP CERB in North Bay since 2002, when 911 became available here. It is the county's primary PSAP. The CERB call centre acts as the primary contact then routes the call to the appropriate emergency services. Welsh indicated the OPP has a service level objective of answering 95 per cent of all calls within two rings, which it has exceeded. As well, it has a fully technical redundant system with a backup

call centre and duplicate Bell 911 infrastructure, and it can handle language translation services and text-to-911 for individuals who are hearing impaired. "To date, the level of service with this same provider has met the needs of the community at a competitive cost," Welsh said. Upcoming meetings County council, Wednesday, Nov. 14, 5 p.m.; community services committee, Nov. 14 (following county council); corporate services committee, Nov. 14 (following community services). County council, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 5 p.m.; public works committee, Nov. 28 (following county council); economic development committee, Nov. 28 (following public works). All meetings are in council chambers unless otherwise noted. For more information, contact 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1502. Submitted by the County of Lanark

The 2018 municipal election has resulted in a shuffle around the trustee table for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). In the new term starting Dec. 1, the UCDSB will welcome four newly elected trustees, two incumbents and four acclaimed. The trustee results of the Monday, Oct. 22, election are as follows: • Ward 1 - Don Cram (incumbent) • Ward 2 - Bill MacPherson (acclaimed) • Ward 3 - Jamie Schoular (new) • Ward 4 - John McAllister (acclaimed) • Ward 5 - John McCrea (new)

• Ward 6 - Lisa Swan (incumbent) • Ward 7 - Larry Barry (new) • Ward 8 - David McDonald (acclaimed) • Ward 9 - John Danaher (new) • Ward 10 - Corina Parisien (new and acclaimed) "Congratulations to the trustees-elect and to everyone who was a candidate for the office of UCDSB trustee. Their interest in public education and supporting local schools is greatly appreciated," said director of education Stephen Sliwa. "I'm looking forward to welcoming and working with this new group of trustees for the next four

years. I think the mix of new and returning will encourage a lot of discussion and bring a new perspective. “We're always working toward enhancing the learning opportunities of our students, and I think we are well positioned to do that with this board." Ward 1 trustee Donald Cram retained his seat and will again represent Mississippi Mills, Beckwith Township and Carleton Place, for a second term. In Ward 3, Jamie Schoular was elected, defeating long-serving trustee Susan Richards. He will represent the areas of MerrickvilleWolford, Rideau Lakes, Smiths Falls and Westport.

John McCrea is another newcomer to the Board and will represent Ward 5, which takes in the areas of Augusta and Brockville. He claimed the seat left vacant by the chair of the board, Jeff McMillan, who is retiring from public office after serving on the board since 2010. In Ward 6, Lisa Swan was re-elected by voters, for a second term. Ward 6 includes the communities of Edwardsburg-Cardinal, North Grenville and Prescott. Larry Barry will be the new trustee for Ward 7, which covers the townships of South Dundas and North Dundas. The seat has been held by Jeremy

ees will be sworn in on Dec. 5. In the interim, the current board of trustees will continue in office. The last official board meeting for the existing board of trustees is on Nov. 28, with the new term taking effect on Dec. 1. The trustees of the UCDSB serve more than 27,000 students in 79 schools. Trustees are empowered under the Education Act to set policy for the operation of all public schools in the counties of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott and Russell, providing an essential link between the school system and the community.

MURPHY CHIROPRACTIC LAUNCHES 2018 HATS, MITTS AND SCARVES DRIVE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com With winter on its way, Murphy Chiropractic Health Centre in Carleton Place is making sure local residents stay warm. The Health Centre, located at 3 Costello Dr., launched its 2018 Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive on Oct. 25. "This is our 15th year," Christine Murphy told the Canadian Gazette. Over the next five weeks, until the end of November, the Health Centre will accept donations of new hats, mittens and scarves, which are dispersed by way of the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Program. Any extra items are taken to the Lanark County Food Bank - The Hunger Stop

for distribution. Money for the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Program is also accepted at the Health Centre.

Why get involved? "For me, it starts the Christmas season," Dr. Sean Murphy said. "We are traditionalists ... we like to stay consistent. "People look forward to the drive," he continued. In regards to the people who knit items for the initiative, "there is an expectation ... our seniors plan this months in advance," Sean added. "We have already had a couple of bags dropped off - anonymously," Christine noted. "They do not want any credit." "I would rather not be in the newspaper, but I

know it helps remind people about the time of year," Sean said. The chiropractor and his wife think of themselves as facilitators of joy and good. In addition to the Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive, Murphy Chiropractic Health Centre distributes bundles of bread to the community during its annual Give Thanks Bread Drive. Wayne and Lorna Drummond organize the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Program, along with the associated Angel Tree campaign, which is separate from the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program. Giant Tiger in Carleton Place is a big supporter of the Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive. Every

year, owner Ray MacLaren helps kick off the initiative by making a donation of several hats and mitts from the store. More than 1,000 people, including 450 children and youth, will benefit from the Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive and Carle-

ton Place Christmas Basket Program. Donations can be dropped off at the Health Centre during business hours: • Monday from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 to 6:15 p.m. • Tuesday from 2:30 to 7

p.m. • Wednesday from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. • Thursday from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 to 6:15 p.m. After-hours donations can be left on the doorstep for collection the following morning.

BY STAFF Get caught up on your sleep this week, because we're about to lose an hour of it. Fall is here and it's time to turn those clocks back this Sunday, Nov. 4. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4, so be sure to turn those clocks back one hour before going to bed Saturday. The switch gives us one extra hour of sleep, but also means it will get darker earlier. While turning your clocks back, it's a good idea to check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarm batteries to ensure they are in good working order. Daylight saving time will resume on Sunday, March 10. More than 70 countries around the world observe daylight saving time, which began with ancient agrarian civilizations, who used a form of it to adjust timekeeping depending on the sun's activity. In Canada, the community of Port Arthur, Ont. was the first to use daylight saving time on July 1, 1908. It has been in practice in all 10 Canadian provinces and three territories since the late 1960s, with the exception of Nunavut and most of Saskatchewan, which uses Central Standard Time year-round.

OPINION

MUNICH GLOCKENSPIEL A MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION JOYOUS SPECTACLE ENTERTAINS GROUPS DAILY, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column

Sometimes it's the little things that make a holiday memorable. Such was the case during our recent visit to Germany and one of those "little things" stands out today as I run the many good experiences from our trip through my mind. On day 2 of our two-week excursion we were in "Munchen" (German for "Munich") which is the third largest city in the country. It is a major centre of business, transportation, tech-

nology, arts and education. Munich has an incredibly captivating history and as a result tourism is also a major economic driver in the Bavarian capital. This was our first visit and Kathleen and I were impressed with the cleanliness of Munich, the pleasant mix of old and new structures. The city was heavily bombed during the Second World War and meticulously rebuilt. Marienplatz, Munich's best known public square, is the perfect place to begin any sightseeing visit to the old town section. Dominating Marienplatz is the "Rathaus" (city hall) featuring a clock tower that rises impressively over the sprawling, busy public gathering place. Wendy LeBlanc, who along with husband Frank are our good friends and

“The Munich Glockenspiel dwarfs its much newer counterpart in Frankenmuth.”

– Jeff Maguire

regular travelling companions, was already familiar with Marienplatz and the Rathaus. The previous night Wendy had pointed to the clock tower and said, "We need to come back here tomorrow to see the Glockenspiel. It is excellent!" Normally I might have had to ask for an explanation. But as it happens I was already familiar with the word "Glockenspiel." By way of definition it's basically a musical instrument

similar to a xylophone. Translated to English the word means, literally, "bells play." In German usage the word may be applied to any carillon-sized or chimesized tower bell instrument which plays music. Some places in Germany (where the idea is believed to have originated) and in other parts of the world feature a musical carillon which accompanies sculpted figures who emerge from clock towers and tell a story to appreciative audiences. That is a Glockenspiel! My first experience was in Frankenmuth, a town in central Michigan near Saginaw, which bills itself as "Little Bavaria." Frankenmuth and district was heavily settled by conservative Lutheran immigrants from the Franconia region of Germany in the mid-19th century. We've visited sev-

eral times over the years. The town's Glockenspiel Tower, which is located at the Bavarian Inn an excellent hotel in Frankenmuth where my family and I stay, features a 35-bell carillon, a sculpted figurine movement and an illuminated clock. All were imported from Germany. The Rathaus Glockenspiel in Munich is also a major tourist attraction as we found out when we visited Marienplatz in time for the 11 a.m. "performance" the following morning. In terms of size and scale the Munich Glockenspiel dwarfs its much newer counterpart in Frankenmuth. Perched high in the clock tower, on two levels, it features 43 bells and 32 lifesize figures. Daily at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. (also at 12 noon during the summer) the Glockenspiel

chimes and the brightly painted and appropriately costumed figurines emerge from the tower where they re-enact two stories from the 16th century. I'm sure the majority of those who watch the Rathaus Glockenspiel know little about the stories which are depicted. They are there to be entertained and in large numbers too. It's a joyous spectacle and it has become one of the city's biggest tourist attractions. If you're ever in Munich don't miss the Rathaus Glockenspiel.

BUSINESS EXCELLENCE ON DISPLAY AT ANNUAL CARLETON PLACE CHAMBER AWARDS GALA ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The passion, dedication and success of entrepreneurs and small business owners was applauded Oct. 19 during the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Excellence gala. The formal affair was held at The Grand Hotel and saw 21 nominated businesses honoured for their efforts, and six celebrated with Business of the Year (won by Stonefields Estate in Beckwith), Entrepreneur of the Year, Employee/Team of the Year, Community Involvement Award, Customer Service Award and People's Choice Award. "Tonight marks our

sixth celebration of the annual business awards and it's also a smaller part of Small Business Week. It's truly an opportunity, a week of the year, that we should be celebrating those of us that are entrepreneurs," noted past chamber board chair Donna MacDonald, who shared MC duties with present chair Jamie Law. "Tonight, we're going to recognize 21 local business owners who shine outside their peers and who have had outstanding customer service and excellence over the past year," Law added. The Entrepreneur of the Year Award was the first to be presented, to The Good Food Tour and Cathy Reside. It is given to a busi-

ness owner that has opened in the last five years and has demonstrated an ability to create and implement a business concept effectively. The tour, which was established in spring 2017, is a walking culinary experience of eateries in Almonte and Carleton Place. In addition to food and drink, history, art and architecture is highlighted. "Thank you, everybody," Reside remarked upon accepting the award. "I can't put on a food tour without the wonderful, wonderful partners ... I'm totally awestruck." In addition to The Good Food Tour, others nominated for the honour included Lakeside Shawarma, Marked Ultimate Family

which means we are in pretty good shape," McConkey pointed out. She added: "We completed the water and wastewater resiliency study in 2018, which showed expansion of the wastewater treatment plant was required due to capacity by 2027. To have it ready for this time, the environment assessment is scheduled to begin in 2022." The water treatment plant needs to be expanded due to capacity by 2029, with the environment assessment scheduled to begin in 2023. "We have 10 pumping stations," McConkey said, and "the assessment we completed early this year laid out a plan ... when and how we were going to tackle refurbishing them." The age of a pumping station is between 20 and 30 years. Five pumping stations are close to 40 years old. "They are the focus of our capital plan for the next three years," McConkey noted. In 2019, the town plans on doing approximately $1.8 million in capital projects (non growth related).

CHECK OUT ●

"About $500,000 of this is debt from previous projects." McConkey explained. In terms of growth related work, "we do not plan on doing any growth related capital projects in 2019," she noted. Within the 2019 sewer and water budget, the town's water operational revenues ($4,541,875) went up 4.4 per cent from 2018. "The difference is growth," McConkey said. "We are billing more homes for water." Over last year, there is a 3.91 per cent change in 2019's wastewater operational revenues ($1,502,801). "Most of this is the management fee for OCWA (Ontario Clean Water Agency)," the treasurer noted. The big capital projects in 2019 are as follows: pumping station on Bridge Street, $500,000; major maintenance for water and wastewater treatment plants, $330,000; Allan Street underground, $200,000; and Queen Street underground, $50,000. McConkey will post her presentation on the town's website, welcoming comments from the public. She will gather the feedback for the new council, which will be sworn in on Dec. 4.

"Working towards ending violence against women is no easy task and we couldn't do it without all the support from the staff, volunteers ... I'm sorry, I'm getting a little emotional here," said Luckasavitch, "the board of directors and the As Good As New store down the road. All of these people in our community make a different to ending violence and we really appreciate it." "It's a subject worth getting emotional about," added MacDonald.

Tartan Kitchen restaurant, who has partnered with The Hunger Stop Lanark County Food Bank

to aid the families they serve. Owner/chef Ian Carswell was humbled to ac-

cept the award, noting that teaching, leading and inspiring others is important to his restaurant.

"Thank you very much for this. I didn't prepare anything because I was hoping the food bank was going to get this one because they obviously do an extreme amount of work within the community," he stated. "Thank you." Other nominees for the award were Parkit360, The Studio School of Dance, The Hunger Stop - Lanark County Food Bank and Luxart Homes. The Excellence in Customer Service Award is given to a business who goes above and beyond for customer service and satisfaction. This year's winner was retail shop, Wisteria. "Thank you so much everyone," said owner Janice Martin, who operates on the mantra customers should be treated with patience, respect and kindness. She opened the store in 2006. "It was an honour to be nominated but I could never have done it without my staff and especially

Gail (Sheen-MacDonald), who held it together when I couldn't." Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum, Joanne Beaton, Greco and Kirk Orthodontics were also nominated for the award. Introduced last year for the chamber's centennial anniversary, the People's Choice Award invites the community to vote on their favourite local business through social media and the chamber's website. Sponsored by Metroland Media, it is presented to a business leader in the community who is highly engaged and active through volunteering and customer service. Fan favourite Lakeside Shawarma, who earned the 2017 Excellence in Customer Service honour, took the crown this year. "Thank you very much. It means a lot to be recognized," noted owner Moe Hajo, to chants from the crowd of "Moe! Moe! Moe!" "I have the support of my family and I have a second family and that's Carleton Place. Thank you."

years); Thornton Marine and Small Engine Repairs (27 years); Brent Munro Electric (29 years); Reid Landscaping & Gardens (32 years); and Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (33 years). The James Naismith Foundation was established in 1989 and today operates out of the Mill of Kintail, through a partnership with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. "Many of you may might not think a museum is a traditional business, but it certainly is," explained Torrance. "It's one that brings people to town and has an economic function in our community. James Naismith has helped us in a very large way in this regard." Eldon Munro Construction (40 years); Henry Deugo Plumbing (42 years); sculptor Dale Dunning (43 years); Cochran Seeds (46 years); North Lanark Regional Museum (49 years); and cattle shipper Rayburn Evans (49 years) were presented with certificates in the 35 years or more category. Pakenham's Evans is known for establishing the Galetta Sale Barn. "He eventually made his way to a career as a cattle shipper and hasn't looked back," Ferguson said. " ... He's one of the most recognized names in the business ... and has acquired the name, the Ottawa Valley's biggest shipper." Corad Farms, operated by Mervin Hunt since 1968, was the sole business recognized with 50 years or more service to the community. Located just outside the village of Pakenham on Waba Road, operations have expanded to four farm properties over the years. "Mervin has said he will farm until his last breath," noted Ferguson. The final category, 65 years or more, honoured farmers David and Dorothy Duncan (67 years); R. Tait McKenzie Museum (66 years); farmers Frank and Norma Ryan (over 100 years); Barthhaven Farm (65+ years); and Emerald Meadows (181 years). Seven generations of the Russell family have farmed at Emerald Meadows, currently owned by Doug and Doreen Russell, since 1837. Located on the 12th Concession of Pakenham, it became a sizable dairy operation in 1970 and over the years has grown to 750 acres (owned) in addition to 200 acres (rented). The long-term business event was held in conjunction with national Small Business Week (Oct. 14-20).

UNDEAD STAGGER THROUGH ALMONTE FOR ANNUAL ZOMBIE WALK Sean's support of this event," Gadbois said. "He is a great man." "It is my pleasure," Isaacs stated. The goal of the Zombie Walk for Hunger is to have ghouls of fun. "This is a great family event," Gadbois said. "Unfortunately, the number of participants is down this year." Owing to Saturday's chilly weather and ongoing construction in the area, the length of this year's walk was shortened. "We had 26 brave souls come out, raising $304," Gadbois said. "The food collected at the walk will go to the food bank on Monday." The success of the event is the result of organizers and 20-plus sponsors. Returning for the fourth year, the Ottawa Valley group, Cratur, performed before the walk.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com They were ready to rot 'n' roll outside the Almonte & District Community Centre (arena) on Oct. 27 for the 2018 Zombie Walk for Hunger. "This is our fourth year," co-organizer Heather Gadbois told the Canadian Gazette. Monies collected by way of the Halloween-themed fundraiser benefit three worthy organizations: Lanark County Food Bank The Hunger Stop, Country Cat Sanctuary and Soi Dog Foundation. Once again, Sean Isaacs of Alliance Coin & Banknote, the official banker of the apocalypse, gave a Zombuck coin to the first 100 registrants. He was also the walk's grand marshal. "We really appreciate

including Canada, Australia, France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Switzerland and United States. Country Cat Sanctuary, located in the Kemptville area, is a non-profit registered charity, and it is home to tortured and abandoned cats and kittens. The organization's mission is to find a new home for every cat it saves, regardless of how long it takes, providing it with loving care and attention for the rest of its natural life. Located in Carleton Place on Allan Street, Lanark County Food Bank - the Hunger Stop relies on donations (food, money and time) from the public. The organization, which provides safe and nutritional food assistance to persons in need, serves Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills, Beckwith and surrounding area.

Tara Gesner/Metroland Sharon and Percy Argue of Almonte participate in the 2018 Zombie Walk for Hunger on Oct. 27. Monies collected by way of the Halloween-themed fundraiser benefit three worthy organizations: Lanark County Food Bank - The Hunger Stop, Country Cat Sanctuary and Soi Dog Foundation. Soi Dog Foundation is a non-profit organization for the welfare of dogs. Head-

Lowe's Canada, a leading home improvement company operating or servicing over 630 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, is proud to announce that its national Lowe's Canada Heroes campaign has raised a total of $1.1 million. Throughout September, every Lowe's, RONA, and Reno-Depot corporate store in the country collected donations to help local non-profit organizations or public schools of their choosing fulfill their missions or carry out specific projects. Lowe's Canada matched 50 per cent of all funds raised through the in-store campaign, up to a maximum of $2,000 per store. All funds raised in-store, along with matching corporate donations, are being donated to more than 260 community organizations. This year, RONA Carleton Place employees chose to support Lanark County Interval House and will be donating $2,495.94 to this local organization. "We are grateful that our employees and customers across the country came together again this year to help people love where they live," said Jean-Sébastien Lamoureux, senior vice-president, communications, public affairs and compliance at Lowe's Canada. "With all our corporate stores participating for the first time, our heroes campaign extended its support to even more community organizations and projects that our employees feel strongly about. Many thanks to everyone who made this year's campaign an even bigger success." For more information about the Lowe's Canada Heroes campaign and the list of organizations supported, please visit rona.ca/heroes, renodepot.com/ heroes, and lowes.ca/heroes.

November is

DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH Every November, Diabetes Canada (formerly known as the Canadian Diabetes Association) launches a month-long awareness campaign to shed light on the growing diabetes epidemic affecting the country. Diabetes Awareness Month is an opportunity to educate those at risk and help existing diabetics live the healthiest life possible. Diabetes or prediabetes affects an estimated 11 million Canadians, many of whom are unaware of their condition. However, it’s important to know the warning signs to stop diabetes in its tracks and prevent related health complications like heart disease and eye damage. WHAT IS PREDIABETES? Prediabetes refers to a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to receive a positive diabetes diagnosis. According to Diabetes Canada, nearly 50 per cent of Canadians with prediabetes go on to develop Type 2 diabetes.

WARNING SIGNS Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight change, extreme fatigue or sluggishness, blurred vision — if you experience any of these symptoms, you may be at risk of developing diabetes. However, it’s important to note that you can alter your future for the better if you pay attention to warning signs and seek appropriate medical help. PREVENTION Research shows that if you take the necessary steps to manage your blood glucose levels, you can successfully delay or prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes. Simple lifestyle changes like increasing your physical activity, eating wholesome foods and losing weight can make a world of difference. This November, join the movement to end the epidemic. Visit www.diabetes.ca to find out how you can influence positive change for the future of diabetes in Canada.

CARLETON PLACE IS ALIVE WITH SPIRITS TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com During this time of year, people have a fascination with being scared. Around Ontario there are a number of places known for their paranormal activity, from hotels to hospitals to former prisons. Even a couple of locations in Carleton Place are known to be haunted, including The Grand Hotel (old Mississippi Hotel) and Moore House (current Carleton Place & District Carleton Place Chamber Of Commerce and Visitor Centre). In 2017, a group from Ottawa Paranormal Research and Investigations (OPRI) visited the Moore House on Bridge Street, hoping for a supernatural encounter. In 2009, a team from Canadian Haunting and Paranormal Society (CHAPS) attempted to uncover if the historic hotel at 7 Bridge St. was haunted. The Moore House, constructed in the mid 1800s, was home to multiple generations of the Moore family, including James Pearson Moore, his wife Catherine Roberts and their five children. In 1900, the oldest daughter of James and Catherine, Ida Louise Moore, died at home from tuberculosis. Before falling ill, she was about to go off to music school to become a teacher.

"Often you would get a smell of lavender out of the blue," he continued. According to mystical experts, spirits often try to communicate using scent, and whenever the smell of lavender is detected, it normally means a friendly spirit is passing through. Last year, Craig Leafloor, OPRI's resident psychic (sensitive), claimed, "there is nothing evil in the Moore House." "It would have been the first thing I felt as soon as we drove up to the place," he said. Bradley's older stepbrother and sister also lived in the Moore House. "They always talked about odd things happening," he said. Bradley is definitely convinced there is a presence in the building. "The day Walter sold the property the picture he had of the house in his office shattered," he added. "To this day, (Walter) says the ghost was mad at him for selling." Several people have claimed to see Ida's apparition in the upstairs windows at the Moore House. The Seccaspina family of Carleton Place previously owned the old Mississippi Hotel. According to Linda Seccaspina, "lots of stuff," happened inside the walls of the hotel. "We had one caretaker there who stayed on the second floor and every night there would be someone knocking at his door," she disclosed. "When he would go and look there was no one." The caretaker has since passed on. "Every few nights the phone in his room would ring over and over, with no one on the other end," Seccaspina said. In 2013, during a Victorian seance and dinner event at the hotel, three psychics attended. "They said the hotel was a wormhole," Seccaspina said. A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends, each at separate points in space. Seccaspina called the hotel's basement "the worst," with people always seeing things. Six months ago, she noted a family friend and plumber was pushed against a wall in the basement. "I was cleaning the once Lewis Carroll room and the doors slammed shut on me, and there was no gust of wind," Seccaspina said. "I spent a lot of time on the upper floors and always saw shadows."

OPINION

BUILDINGS OF THE FUTURE EARNED HER BROTHER TOP CONTEST PRIZE, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

Spelling bees often went beyond the Northcote School, when Admaston and at least one other school would be included, and a whole day would be spent with all the schools getting together for one glorious day of spelling, lunch brought in by the ladies of the community, and lots of frivolity. Then one year, it was decided there would be a

'drawing bee'. There would be no getting together of the area schools, but pupils would be graded by someone from the School Board, and a whole dollar given to the winner. There were plenty of rules ... enough to discourage anyone from even putting a pencil to paper. Grading would be done by class, which was a great relief to me, since I was only in Primer Book, I wouldn't be competing with someone in Senior Fourth! Miss Crosby read out the rules, and the main idea was to draw something using our own imagination. I decided to draw a picture of my cat dressed in my doll's clothes, but it was my brother Emerson who was the most excited about the whole Drawing Bee. He drew constantly, convincing Mother that one day his artwork would be hanging

all over Canada. Emerson drew buildings ... and I thought they were the craziest looking buildings I ever saw. My sister Audrey said he got the idea from our Uncle Lou who lived in New York and worked on the Empire State Building and the Waldorf Astoria. Emerson was fascinated when Uncle Lou talked about them, and he said when he grew up, he was going to design buildings that would be even more grand than they were! Mother encouraged Emerson in his dream, and when the One Cent Sale came around at Ritza's Drug Store, she bought drawing pads and thick leaded pencils. While the rest of us sat around the old pine table at night looking through Eaton's catalogue, or playing cards, Emerson sat at one end of the table

walled buildings, instead of bricks and cement! Who heard of anything so ridiculous? Then, to make these buildings even more crazy, he had some of them with their elevators going up on the outside! Imagine!! He drew and erased, and drew and erased, and the day was getting closer when we would be handing in our drawings. Audrey and I snickered behind our hands, and Mother beamed with pride. Then the day came when all our drawings were handed in, and off they went to someone far away from the Northcote School who would decide who, if any of us, would be a dollar richer. Finally, one day, just after our morning prayers and bible reading, someone from the school board walked into the Northcote School, went right up to Miss Crosby's desk, and handed her an envelope. Of course, as we always did when a visitor came to the school, we were all standing at attention. Then the man in the dress suit said the winner was

none other than Emerson Haneman, who showed great imagination and drawing skill, and who was convinced one day he would be known for his talents at designing building of the future! Well, was Mother proud! Of course, Emerson couldn't wait to get into Ritza's Drug Store with his dollar to buy more drawing pads so that he could create more outlandish buildings made of glass and with elevators going up the outside walls! Poor Emerson, I thought ... he'll never amount to a hill of beans with his hare-brained ideas. Glass buildings indeed! Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

EMERSON PROVED EVERYONE WRONG WITH HIS DRAWINGS

with his pad and pencils drawing outlandish buildings which the rest of us kids thought would never see the light of day. Well, at any rate, when Miss Crosby announced that there was to be a drawing contest among the schools in the area and a whole dollar would be awarded, Emerson, convinced he would be the winner, already planned on buying more drawing pads with his money. And of course, he would be drawing his outlandish buildings! We were allowed to work on our drawings at home, that way the contest wouldn't interfere with our daily school work. So at night, by the light from the coal oil lamp, we worked on creating our own artistic masterpieces. There sat poor Emerson, pencil and eraser in hand, creating these buildings that we children thought were just about the most outlandish creations we had ever seen. He drew buildings made entirely of glass! We couldn't imagine anything more crazy. Imagine, glass

Medication Safety - Not All Drugs Get Along Patient and resident safety is a priority for staff, physicians and volunteers at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH), Almonte General Hospital (AGH) and Fairview Manor. The care teams continually look for opportunities to engage patients, residents, visitors, families and one another to talk about safety. This week is Canadian Patient Safety Week and events are taking place across all organizations to raise awareness and education. Poster presentations, videos and brochures on patient meal trays support a safer system and a strong culture of safety.

This theme of this year’s Patient Safety Week is ‘Not All Drugs Get Along'. It encourages patients, residents, visitors, families and healthcare professionals to start conversations about the five life-saving questions to ask about medications. These questions are: Changes? Continue? Proper Use? Monitor? and Follow-Up? CPDMH, AGH and Fairview Manor are proud to take part in Canadian Patient Safety Week 2018. Please ask questions. And visit www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca for valuable information, and informative videos. Help us to keep patients and residents safe.

A lifetime resident of the area, Keith Hamilton passed away suddenly at home on Wednesday, October 24, 2018. He was 77. Keith David Hamilton was born in Winchester on January 28, 1941 to his parents Stanley and Iva Hamilton (nee Bell). He married the first love of his life Mildred Fawcett on August 26, 1963. He married the second love of his life Marjorie Beaupre on September 21, 1996. Keith was dad to Diane, Tom, Brian and Gerry. He was grandpa to Laura, Adam, Dayna, Scott, Jess, Lexie, Kristen, Brittany, Josh, Christine, Rebecca, and Rachelle. He was great-grandpa to Peyton, Aspen Emma and Jaxon. Keith’s pride and joy were his kids, his grandchildren, and his wonderful grandbabies. If you wanted to see Keith smile, plunk a child on his lap. Grandpa had some shy grandchildren and he paid no attention to that because he would find them and lift them into his arms. After his first wife Mildred he found love with Marjorie; he even quit smoking for her to marry him. Keith then became dad to Sherry, Rick and Daniel and grandpa to Denis, Jeffrey, Sarah and Alexandra and great-grandpa to Darrick, Mary Kate, and Elias. Keith was a hard worker all his life right up to the last day and he expected the same of his family. Keith was always proud of working for Cruickshank Construction and The Township of Williamsburg. He loved working for Cruickshank’s except for the fact that he had to work away from home, so he left there and went to the Township of Williamsburg to be their grader operator. No one could grade a road like Keith Hamilton. Keith loved his black lab Benjie and he enjoyed travelling. He was a “worry wart” and he would worry about his family all the time. Keith entered the computer age in 2017. He discovered Facebook, YouTube and he started using a cell phone and texting. He had a few issues with getting the hang of it, but he never shied away from asking for help. Keith liked to get calls especially on Father’s Day, Christmas Day, and his birthday. Keith was very particular about the look of his property and he loved working in the garden. Punctuality was very important to Keith and he was never late. He enjoyed playing a good game of checkers and that meant no cheating! He always liked to joke and tease his grandchildren, but they never got to enter the house or leave the house without a hug. Keith is survived by his children Diane Bennett (David) of Smiths Falls, Tom (Kathleen) of South Mountain and Brian (Heather) of St. John’s, New Brunswick. Keith will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Laura (Billy), Adam, Dayna, Scott (Stefanie), Jessica (Keith), Lexie, Kristen, Brittany, Joshua, Christine (Adam), Rebecca (Ryan), Rachelle and greatgrandchildren Peyton, Aspen and Emma. He was predeceased by his wives Mildred Fawcett and Marjorie Beaupre, his son Gerry, his great-grandson Jaxon, his sister Joyce Leach and his brothers Raymond and Ralph Hamilton. He is also survived by nieces and nephews. Friends called at the Marsden and McLaughlin Funeral Home, Williamsburg, on Friday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service was held at the funeral home on Saturday, October 27th at 11 a.m., with Pastor Bruce North officiating. Interment followed at Maple Ridge Cemetery in Chesterville. Pallbearers were Adam Bennett, Scott Hamilton, Keith Fowler, Billy Carley, Joshua Hamilton and John Brugma. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be gratefully acknowledged by the family. Online condolences may be made at marsdenmclaughlin.com

KUNDE, Gunter Erwin Heinz

On Monday, October 1st, 2018, Gunter Erwin Heinz Kunde took his last flight, peacefully at home in the arms of a very dear friend, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Gunter was, to the best of his knowledge, predeceased by all relatives. He was born in Prussia, Germany on November 4, 1931 and came to Canada on May 4th, 1957, landing in Bremerhaven, Quebec. In 1965 Gunter received his Canadian Citizenship. In 1968 after achieving his diesel hydraulic license and his car mechanic’s license, he opened a business called All Hydraulics, and in 1978 opened Triple K Hydraulics. Gunter loved to dance, be it square dance, jive, waltz, polka, you name it. He also very much loved flying. On July 29, 1967 he received his student pilot permit and continued flying and achieved his full pilots license. In 1984 Gunter purchased a Globe Swift which he flew until a short time ago. He flew often out of the Smiths FallsMontaque Airport where he kept his plane. When sickness stopped him from flying he would drive to the airport almost every day just to watch the planes or give someone a hand with a repair. When Gunter wasn’t flying, he was out riding his motorbike or in the later years, his scooter, out for a pleasure drive in the car, or just basking in the sun. For the past six years, Gunter drove to Ottawa on a weekly basis for accordion lessons, and on occasion played in a concert with his fellow students. He loved and appreciated nature and a “hot” black coffee. Gunter will be greatly missed by Lois and all the Strickland family, by his neighbours and friends in his neighbourhood, by fellow pilots and friends at the airport, the many square dance clubs, the Sunday dance group, the German Club, and I’m sure many more. In memory of Gunter, donations to the Smiths Falls-Montague Airport would be appreciated. A potluck dinner to celebrate Gunter’s Life will be held at the Airport Clubhouse, 102 Van Exan Drive, Smiths Falls, on Sunday, November 4, 2018 at 1 PM (doors open at 12 Noon). Cremation has been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls. Online condolences can be made at www.lannin.ca

STANTON, Mark

Mark Beverley Stanton passed from this world on the afternoon of October 22, 2018 in the company of his children Joanne and Jonathon following a long struggle with leukaemia. His laughter, quick wit and perpetual music soundtrack will be missed throughout the valley. A connoisseur of music and analogue stereo systems, smoking, coffee, fast cars, fishing tackle, bicycles, euchre, cross-country skiing, a caesar, beer or rye; he was never one to shy from a party. His first love was a bicycle, touring the Quebec countryside with his banty rooster on the handlebars. From two wheels to four, Mark began building customized cars for the drag racing circuit as one of the Valley Racers. This love for speed ultimately led to meeting his wife Valerie, after needing a tow from a swamp. Born July 8, 1944, Mark is predeceased by his mother Loretta Ballard (née Rougier) and father Beverley Stanton both of Pontiac, Quebec. He will be missed by his son-in-law Andrew Green, grandchildren Neltje, Robin and Faye as well as sister Heather (Richard) Briggs. Our sincere thanks to the Hospice Renfrew community for making Mark’s end of life care so full and dignified. In the professional care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

Pets of the Week Hi there, I am Cam and I am a true gem. I was saved by LAWS a little while ago and they tell me I am ready to be offered for adoption. I am sure when you see my friendly face you'll come running for me to

take me home. Can't wait to meet you. I am available in Carleton Place at Pet Valu. Look at me, I am Catrina and I love to goof around. They recently spayed me and you'll see evidence of it. I love to roll over to show you my naked belly and if you can, give me a rub please. I love playtime with toys too. I am really sociable and ready for my forever home. Hello from Felix. I am finally ready to be adopted. I got a nasty cold and took some time to get over that. Now that I am feeling great again I'd love to be next one adopted. I am very friendly, handsome, playful and young. Please meet Raven, a long hair calico with lovely markings. She's a pretty little girl who was wandering the streets in Balderson. Sadly no one claimed her. She's about 10 years old and could use some help to add some meat to her skinny body. Raven is very friendly, curious and would love to find her true forever home. Because of her age the adoption fee has been reduced to $100. Thank you for your continued support. Follow LAWS at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.ca. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

ANOTHER OWNER STATED THAT REGULATIONS KILLED HIS BUSINESS Continued from page 2

"I hope the community understands. I feel really bad for the staff but we are not going anywhere." Abbas talked to the owner of a similar operation small, independently owned - that closed recently in Braeside. The owner told him regulations killed the business, forcing low income residents out. "It's crazy how much regulation we have," Abbas said. "I'm told we are the cheapest in eastern Ontario. We can't afford all this. It means nothing to the big guys. I hope that people understand that the small guys are suffering." The Champlain LHIN has several clients at the residence. It would not agree to an interview to reveal how long it has known

about the situation and what it has done to find a solution. It issued the following statement, signed by CEO Chantale LeClerc: "Champlain LHIN funds LTC homes but not retirement homes. The Champlain LHIN provides home care services to some of the clients living in this retirement home. Our staff has been actively working with these clients to ensure their home care services continue when they relocate to new housing arrangements. "We understand that the clients we are serving have been able to make alterna-

tive housing arrangements. We are available to assist our clients with finding appropriate housing if needed." Clients are moving to other homes in the region, including Arnprior. Abbas said it is too expensive for taxpayers to be paying for seniors to stay in hospital when facilities such as his are available.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

For 35 years the Country View Lodge has been home to seniors in the Pakenham area. Small and independently owned, the residence is one of the few in the Ottawa valley catering to low income people. But with authorities from the fire department and health unit having their own mandate to follow, it is proving costly to the owner.

may even seek the truth. My life has been lived pretty much out in the open as this goes with the territory when one is a public figure. Funny it is, too, because I'm such an introverted person deep down and spend much time alone. In 2001, former Ottawa Sun writer, Tom VanDusen, labelled me the Ottawa Valley troubadour in a feature article entitled, "Singer Beats His Demons" and the handle has stuck ever since. Not that I've beat all my demons, but the fight was truly on at that time and continues to this day. So, I asked myself, "what is a troubadour?" In short, it basically means, a travelling mistral, news bringer, storyteller, etc. In the days of the Crusades (during the 1500s and at other times) the troubadours went from place to place singing songs and bringing "the news" that usually went against the "official line" being presented

Being in a position now to look back over the years, certain patterns emerge and perhaps even too, some understanding. I guess it's just a part of getting older or perhaps it's a blessing should one choose to see it that way. In my case, I would say that it is. For we all travel our own roads and if we are wise we will seek some understanding of it all along the way and if we are brave we

In my career as a musician, writer and broadcaster, I'm well acquainted with the term, "shoot the messenger" as I've been blamed for just about everything at one time or another. Usually from some politician who didn't like the truth being revealed and who was, in the end, just a victim of his/her own desires. In 2003, I moved to Pembroke where I joined that community's palliative care team and a whole new world of experience was opened up to me. Also, much personal growth and, dare I say, healing. Then, the opportunity to perform again, write articles and do radio work returned to me. From then until health issues sidelined me for a few years back I was fortunate to

travel most of the country meeting people and experiencing Canada. From the famous to the outrageous to the common everyday folks who make it all happen, they were all there along the way. It is these (the common folks) that I admire and respect the most. Which brings us to the term, "wayfaring." It basically means, "doomed to roam." Yep, and that about says it all concerning me. Recently, I have begun writing songs again, recording and making personal appearances. Carleton Place singer-songwriter, Pat Willbond and I performed on CHIP-FM (Fort Coulonge, Que.) a couple of weeks back and introduced some of those new songs. We hope to travel the valley this fall and winter making intimate performances where we can mingle with people and perhaps raise much needed funds for local charities, etc. Every little bit helps and creates momentum. On Saturday, Nov. 24, a special tribute concert will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place, which will feature myself and a group of musicians that we call, what else? The Wayfaring Troubadours. In celebration of the eve of the Town of Carleton Place's 200th anniversary (18192019) this group of veteran, area-based, performers will play the "tunes of our times." ('60s, '70s, '80s, etc.) It's incredible when one considers just how many world-class musicians make this area home. Must be something in the water. Pat Willbond, Mike Lush, Rick Picard, Gary O'Meara and Willy Barnes will grace the stage that night. Thanks to great co-operation, on behalf of the legion, we will are able to offer tickets to this show at a very reasonable cost of $15 each. It's an intimate setting, so there is limited seating. Tickets are available now at Temptations Variety (117 Bridge St.), SRC Music (124 Moore St.) and at the legion (177 George St.) In closing, all I can say is, it's been quite the journey so far and the road continues. And if it hasn't always been pleasant it has never been boring. I live to see what will happen next. Lyle Dillabough is a local musician who writes for the Ottawa Valley newspapers.

With little doubt, Canadian winters are extremely hard on our vehicles. From road salt and grit to temperature extremes, to slips and slides and impacts, our rides take a beating. If you

really want to keep your ride looking and running like it was new, there are a few things to take care of before the snow and deepfreeze hit. Let it shine. Painted body panels can easily suffer from exposure to the elements with fading, scratches, and chips being the most common symptoms. A good coat of wax will go a long way to fending off environmental risks. Don't count on factory finishes or 'permanent' treatments to keep the lustre of your auto's paint intact. Stick with a brand

name liquid or paste wax (think Turtle or Meguiars) and avoid coloured/tinted waxes or anything with the word 'polish' on the label. A good wax job won't last throughout the winter, so getting one done in late fall and then again in February or March can help keep things shining. Snow tires. We really shouldn't have to say much about this by now. If you haven't got four snow tires with the mountain snowflake symbol on the side wall on your vehicle by mid-November, well, head to the Deep South or park it

for the winter. And as much as auto body paint suffers from winter, alloy rims are also prone. So if you want your wheels to stay as good looking as the rest of the ride, get a set of winter rims. Time for a battery test. While many things that can go wrong with our autos, do so without much warning, batteries will let you know when they're on the way out. Having a simple test done by your favourite service shop is all it takes to know if you'll need a new one before long. Most shops will do this test at no charge

They most often represent good value and are critical to know if your vehicle needs any attention to successfully survive our winter roads.

when completing routine repairs or maintenance. Wiper blades. This is an easy DIY task and a must if you want a clear view ahead. When shopping for blades, take a moment to measure their length as they are specified in inches on retailers' shelves. If yours doesn't measure up to a full inch, you can round up to the next size (e.g. if it's 19.5-inches, get a 20-inch blade). General check-overs are a must. Repair shops, from dealership service departments to national chains to independent facilities offer seasonal inspections with oil changes and tire rotations this time of year.

LATEST TEXTILE MUSEUM EXHIBIT EXPLORES VULNERABILITY, STRENGTH The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum is proud to present the work of two major Canadian artists; Barb Hunt and Line Dufour. Shown together for the first time, the artists explore social conventions about vulnerability and femininity. The effect of their haunting and powerful works is difficult to put into words and must be seen in person to appreciate their full impact. Dufour's recent work integrates new technologies such as smart textiles, fibre optics and other non-traditional materials.

Her recent work - Re-Collection is a multi-sensory installation of jacquard woven shrouds inspired by Renaissance patterns. Each shroud depicts the face of a child or young woman killed by a sexual predator in Ontario. Historically perceived as a valuable weave, Dufour uses jacquard to honour the victims and their families. The weft is a UV-activated thread that changes colour when exposed to UV rays, from white to a flesh tone and essentially "reanimating" the spirit and presence of the victims.

is enrs a r B Tea THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

Upon her graduation from Ontario College of Art and Design University and the University of Guelph, Dufour has exhibited at numerous locations including the American Textile Museum in Lowell, Mass., the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft in Louisville, Ky., and the Scarfone Gallery at the University of Tampa. Newfoundland's rich tradition of textile practices inspires much of Barb Hunt's work, which focuses on gender, mourning rituals (particularly those of Newfoundland), war and the natural envi-

ronment. Through her work Steel Dresses Hunt "expresses the strength of women," exploring traditional forms of female clothing to question and challenge dominant ideas surrounding issues of gender. The dresses are sewn "with fire," using a plasma arc cutter to create delicate forms resembling textile patterns, images from nature, or imagery traditionally associated with women. Hunt received a diploma in studio art at the University of Manitoba, and an MFA at Concor-

dia University in Montreal, with a specialization in fibres. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally. She has been the recipient of Canada Council grants and awarded residencies in Canada, Paris and Ireland. The exhibit runs from Oct. 13 to Dec. 15 at the museum.For more information, call the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum at 613-256-3754. Submitted by Mississippi Valley Textile Museum

STANDING THE TEST OF TIME:

WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR IN A HOME BUILDER

E PUT A GREAT DEAL OF TRUST IN HOME builders. They are responsible for creating the living spaces in which we make memories with our families. How do you find a quality builder whom you trust to take care of all the details so that you can put your mind at ease and enjoy time for the things that matter most to you?

History is a large part of credibility. Finding a builder that has the experience and portfolio to stand behind their work is an important step in selecting your home. Lépine is an excellent example of a company that has benefited from experience. Three generations of family members have dedicated themselves to building and maintaining quality real estate for the people of Ontario. They certainly have the portfolio to match. The family is known for building iconic Montreal structures such as The Olympic Village of 1976, and the Sanctuaire du Mont Royal. The communities of William’s Court in Kanata and the recently-opened Les Terrasses Francesca on the Vanier Parkway demonstrate how Lépine has worked to perfect their craft in Ottawa since 1998. Siblings Francis and Francesca are premier builders and landlords that specialize in building quality, multi-family

apartment communities. They have led the way in creating a refreshing standard of living, unique in today’s condominium and rental markets. The attention to detail is evident in every community they build. Granite countertops, hardwood floors, maple cabinetry and panoramic windows grace the interior spaces and create a serene atmosphere for residents. Durable materials like poured concrete, steel studs, and exterior concrete materials ensure the long life of the building and the safety of its occupants. The way which Lépine designs and builds their apartments is a testament to numerous decades of experience, and demonstrates an understanding of how to create a solid long-term investment for the builder and the resident. Johanne’s Court is one of the newest communities from Lépine, opening in Carleton Place during the summer of 2019. You can expect the same large spacious dwellings, high-quality finishes, and attention to detail that has become synonymous with the Lépine family name. You can learn more about this new development at LepineApartments.com or by calling Dave Dejong at 613.686.6567
