TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Like all Canadians, residents of Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills will gather on Nov. 11 to observe Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day is about showing respect and gratitude to serving and previous members of the Armed Forces.

The year 2018 marks 100 years since the end of the First World War (1914-1918). Hostilities formally concluded on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

"The war to end all wars came to an end," Ron Goebel told the Canadian Gazette.

Goebel is chair of Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) Ontario ProSee SERVICES, page 2

COMMUNITY

SERVICES TAKING PLACE IN BECKWITH, CARLETON PLACE AND MISSISSIPPI MILLS Continued from front

vincial Command, and he is a longtime member and past president of RCL Branch 192 in Carleton Place.

"The guns finally fell silent, bringing to a close four long years of unspeakable war," he said. "Close to 61,000 Canadians were killed during this Great War and another 172,000 were wounded."

"Those who paid the supreme sacrifice included 47 of our own from here in Carleton Place," Goebel added.

In Carleton Place on Remembrance Day, to mark the 100th anniversary of the armistice, in addition to other wars and peacekeeping missions, a parade, which forms up at 10:15 a.m. in front of the town hall, will make its way up Mill Street to Bridge Street, before pro-

ceeding along the main thoroughfare to Franklin Street and down to Veterans Way and the cenotaph.

The service at the cenotaph, located in Memorial Park, begins earlier - at 10:45 a.m.

The ceremony will be carried out in the traditional manner: reading of honour roll; playing of Last Post; laying of wreaths; gun salute; and two-minute wave of silence. Once again, the Silver Cross representative is Joan Bray, a Second World War veteran and longtime resident of Carleton Place.

A century ago, celebratory bells rang out across the world to mark the end of the First World War. This year, on Nov. 11 at sundown, the Bells of Peace will ring across the country, beginning in St. John's, N.L., and ending on Vancouver Island, B.C. The intent of the RCL is

"to have every bell in every community across Canada ring in unison or independently (within each community) 100 times to signify the 100th anniversary of the First World War armistice," Goebel explained.

"The initiative in Carleton begins at 5 p.m. with the sounds of sirens from four Ocean Wave Fire Company trucks and local OPP cruisers," he continued. "They will be strategically positioned throughout town, and the sirens will sound for 30 seconds prior to the ringing of various bells (Zion-Memorial United Church, St. James Anglican Church and the old post office) 100 times."

An information gathering will take place at the cenotaph at 4:45 p.m. All are welcome.

"Bring any type of hand bell to ring at this special ceremony," Goebel said.

NEWS

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com The attempted murder charges against a wellknown Arnprior-area man in mid-September have taken on an added seriousness.

Renfrew OPP reported today (Nov. 1) that William 'Bill' Kirby faces 23 new Criminal Code charges relating to three more victims. He had been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping and criminal harassment related to the assault of a woman who was found badly injured in the bush near Gunsmith Road in McNab/Braeside Sept. 13.

The OPP says that as a result of further information received regarding the ongoing investigation, the 72year-old Kirby, who lives in Mississippi Mills just out-

William 'Bill' Kirby side Arnprior, was charged with 23 new offences relating to four victims, the woman who was found injured in the woods and three others.

The charges are not directly related to the Sept. 13 incident as they occurred at different times, OPP report.

The charges include uttering threats (3 counts), sexual assault (2 counts), pointing a firearm, criminal harassment (4 counts),

possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, assault (10 counts), unlawfully causing bodily harm and mischief.

Kirby was issued a summons to appear in court in Renfrew Nov. 21. He continues to be out on bail, but with stringent restrictions.

He was granted bail on Oct. 2 and was back in court in Renfrew Oct. 24 when he was ordered to appear again Nov. 21 to face the four original charges.

The alleged first victim was released from hospital a few days after she was rescued. Kirby, who was found at the scene, was treated for minor injuries and a medical condition before he was arrested to face the charges.

A publication ban has been made on all testimony entered in court regarding the case.

COUNCIL

CARLETON PLACE MAYOR CONGRATULATES NEWLY-ELECTED COUNCIL TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com It took more than three and a half hours after the polls closed on Oct. 22 for Carleton Place residents to learn the official results of the 2018 municipal election.

In the end, nearly 60 per cent of the 4,302 people who voted chose current Coun.

Doug Black for mayor over incumbent Louis Antonakos (15 per cent). Political novices Ralph Lee and Roland Wutherich earned 24 per cent and one per cent of the vote, respectively.

Current Coun. Sean Redmond was elected deputy mayor, and incumbent Coun.

Theresa Fritz and newcomers Andrew Tennant, Linda

Seccaspina, Toby Randell and Jeff Atkinson were chosen to fill the five councillor spots.

During the council meeting on Oct. 30, Antonakos congratulated "those who were successful in this year's municipal election."

"I would also like to congratulate those who were not successful," he continued. "I sincerely hope they continue to impact their community by volunteering, trying to make a difference in this beautiful town we call Carleton Place."

Antonakos was referring to deputy mayor candidates Rae Dulmage and Craig Rogers, as well as councillor contenders Jamie DeBaie, Carolyn Gerbac, Tracy

Lee said although women have made strides over the last number of decades, more progress is needed, including access to safe, affordable housing and an authentic justice system. Lee reported that 42 per cent of women return to their abusers because there is no housing.

"We need to be creative to ensure that people can be safely housed," she said.

It's housing Brenda MacDonald-Rowe, president-elect of the Rotary Club of Carleton Place

and Mississippi Mills, says she could have used.

While selling 50/50 tickets at the women's fair, MacDonaldRowe, 68, explains that some 40 years ago, she was in an abusive, dysfunctional marriage and had nowhere to go.

"I knew there was a way out, but it would have been so much easier with a bit of help," she said.

When MacDonald-Rowe finally managed to leave, she said there were only "crappy places to stay" and take her children - a far cry from the second stage hous-

We've come a long way, baby.

The Lanark County Women's Fair celebrated their 30th year on Saturday, Nov. 3. This is the second year the fair has been put on by the Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, who took over management from Lanark County Interval House (LCIH), a local organization that has been assisting women and children in crisis for nearly 40 years.

Proceeds from this year's fair will be donated to LCIH's second stage housing project - the first of its kind in the county. Second stage housing is for women coming out of the first stage of emergency housing when escaping abuse. Women entering second stage still have safety issues and are potentially going through the court system. Second stage housing provides women in need with their own space to help them take the "steps into empowerment," explains Erin Lee, executive director of LCIH. Money raised through the fair will go toward with the project's maintenance, programming, and services. Nearing completion, the local second stage housing project will start welcoming clients in the coming weeks.

"The history of the women's fair has been about public education - celebrating women in business, women in leadership roles," said Lee. "It celebrates the accomplishments of women."

It's also increasingly, and especially over the last 10-15 years, been about fundraising. LCIH receives government funding for core services. However, Lee explained, the organization doesn't received funding for other key aspects of their work, such as second stage housing.

In the last 30 to 40 years, Lee explains that violence against women's services have evolved to reflect the great complexities of their situations.

"It means our work is evolving and expanding," she said.

Before, women would come to shelters simply to get reprieve from the violence. Now, there is a more well-rounded approach to both the escape and recover from violence, which can become entangled within a person's life in increasingly complex ways.

"It's more holistic. It's about your trauma," said Lee. "Now

we're looking at all the impacts violence has had on their lives."

Instead of just providing an escape from violence, a first good step, it's also about helping women figure out who they are.

Lee said the demands on their services are increasing. She explained that over the last 30-plus years, there has been an increase in volatile violence being directed at women and murder suicides. Lee reports that domestic violence calls are the No. 1 type of call that police respond to in Lanark County.

The increase in demand for services can be linked to the increasing number of people now speaking openly about domestic violence and sexual assault. The increased dialogue is translating into more people seeking help and reporting their abuse. LCIH has seen more community engagement and partnerships centred around this issue - a great step forward, said Lee. "We're making gains with more education and discussion," she said. "It's about people finding their courage."

Events such as the Lanark County Women's Fair, she says, are important for community building and helping women find their voices.

ing that women will soon have available in Lanark County.

"These are bright, beautiful and full of hope," said MacDonald-Rowe.

MacDonald-Rowe has been remarried for 32 years. She and her husband furnished a room in the second stage housing.

"When I went in and saw it, I cried," said MacDonald-Rowe.

"It's so beautiful."

The Rotary Club has pledged $5,000 for five years to help run the second stage housing, which couldn't get started until there was money pledged to help, not only do the renovations to create the units for the women, but also run services and programming including the implementation of security - within the walls.

"You don't just put these women in an unsafe environment," said MacDonald-Rowe.

In the last 30 years, women are still being abused. But, she said, there are more job opportunities.

Moving forward, MacDonaldRowe said that women need to support each other more in helping one another.

"An event like this gives you hope," she said.

Jennifer Wooldridge, owner and creator of Undressed Handmade Spa Quality Body Care Products, who sold her products at women's fair, says support for women in business has grown locally.

"There's a lot more people getting the courage to jump in and start a business," she said. "There are a lot more opportunities."

MISSISSIPPI MILLS APPROVES NEARLY $1M IN EQUIPMENT UPGRADES

Mississippi Mills council has approved nearly $1 million in equipment upgrades for the municipality, including a new fire truck, grader, two backhoes and an ice resurfacer.

During discussion on the matter at the Oct. 2 committee of the whole meeting, treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh noted the total $943,600 cost will be financed over 10 years through TD Bank "at a fixed rate of 3.43 per cent."

Whitmarsh said the municipality sought quotes from financial institutions to compare the best terms and rates, with TD Bank offering the lowest rate over 10 years.

The capital items were included in Mississippi Mills' long-term financial plan for replacement and loan payments outlined in the 2018 budget, so Whitmarsh stated there won't be any further implications to the budget for this year.

Coun. Jane Torrance questioned whether the municipality was able to self-finance the purchases instead.

"No, we've been self-financing items that can be repaid within five years, typically," Whitmarsh said. "No, I don't have the money to do this kind of a value."

Coun. Denzil Ferguson indicated that at all-candidates meetings prior to the recent municipal election, the municipality's debt

load was the subject of much debate. He asked Whitmarsh to clarify the reasons for it.

"At the end of 2017, our entire debt load for the municipality, including water and sewer, was roughly $15.6 million," she explained. "Of that, $7.6 million was for water and sewer, primarily the wastewater treatment plant and that equates to 49 per cent of the total."

The remaining 51 per cent or $8 million is municipal debt, Whitmarsh said.

"In the past, according to the financial plan, we borrowed for long-lived assets such as buildings, roads and bridges, vehicles and equipment like you're seeing this evening."

For 2017, the breakdown in those purchases included $4.1 million for buildings, $2.2 million dedicated to bridge and road work, $1.7 million for vehicles and equipment, with the water and sewer budget eating up the remainder.

Whitmarsh pointed out that in 2018, the municipality's debt load has jumped to $22.2 million, but said there are reasons for the hike, primarily $4.5 million in bridge and culvert work undertaken this year by the public works department.

"We're doing the Concession 7B bridge (in Pakenham) this year, the Short and Back bridges in Almonte as well as a lot of culvert rehabilitation and replacement ..." she said.

"Bridges typically have a lifespan of anywhere from 60 to 80 years so we're intending to borrow over 20

(years)."

Despite the debt increase, Mississippi Mills is still within the debt load permitted by the province, which allows a municipality to borrow up to 25 per cent of its revenues.

"We're at 10 per cent of our revenues and in 2018, it's projected to be 12 per cent," Whitmarsh stated.

"According to the province, and we have no intention of doing this, we could borrow another $10 million."

After 2018, she said the municipality's intention isn't to borrow any further funds "and try to pay for things as they come along."

However, Whitmarsh admitted that depending on the outcome of the asset management plan exercise her department is currently undertaking, "that may not be a reality."

She stressed that municipalities incur debt for a variety of reasons, such as to smooth out tax and water rate implications, as well as spread the cost of equipment replacement over a longer term so residents moving to the municipality later and benefit from the assets, are also paying the costs.

"There are many philosophies though and different municipalities adopt different things," Whitmarsh continued. "Some save and put it all in reserves and pay for it when it comes up, some pay everything immediately as you go and others utilize debt. We do all three."

Coun. Val Wilkinson asked if there will be more big purchases like the ones approved by council that evening.

"We will have more big expenses like this, but the intent is we pay for them as they happen instead of having to continue to borrow," Whitmarsh answered. "As

LEST WE FORGET WHAT THOSE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FOR OUR FREEDOM WERE FIGHTING FOR Nov. 11, 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, or what contemporaries optimistically referred to as "la der des ders," meaning the last of last.

So horrific were the gas bomb atrocities and trench warfare casualty lists, that the people who lived through it could scarcely imagine that two decades later their sons and daughters would see an even more destructive and painful war waged across virtually every continent.Critical civil and democratic rights were gained in Canada during the period between these wars. In 1918, women became eligible to vote in most provinces. The general strikes of 1919, borne out of the frustrations of rising inequality, resulted in increased union participation rates across the country, lifting wages and culminating in many of the benefits we now enjoy, such as employment insurance (1940).

Many attribute these gains to the fact that the people who had lived through the hell of war wanted their sacrifices to mean something. So when despots rose in the 1930s, threatening world peace, they knew what they were fighting for, and they did what was necessary to preserve our freedom. Yet in 2018, many voters worldwide have chosen a different path. For a variety of reasons, voters in the U.S., Brazil and other western nations are choosing an eerily familiar path that resembles the sort of fascism that rose in the mid-20th century.

As a result, the rights of groups such as people of colour and immigrants are at risk. We need look no further than the neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville in the summer of 2017, and the American president who defended them for a very literal example of how hate and intolerance are being condoned by leadership. It's not hard to the link this climate to terrorist violence, such as the recent Pittsburg synagogue shooting.

We urge readers to consider what the heroes we remember on Remembrance Day were fighting for.

Regardless of one's political beliefs, hopefully we can all agree that all people, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic background or sexual orientation, deserve to be treated equally and with respect. Our ancestors who served in wars aimed at preserving freedom would certainly want Canadians to be vigilant, and make sure what we are seeing in the U.S. never comes to our country.

Lest we forget those who died for our rights and freedom. Lest we forget what they were fighting for.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY SCHOOL REUNION REMINDS ALUMNI OF STRENGTH OF A VILLAGE'S CLASS DEAR EDITOR:

In the midst of the Pakenham Public School reunion dance on Oct. 20, I overlooked the chance to thank the organizers of this event. It must have taken a great deal of effort and co-ordination to plan and execute the two days of reminisces.

Thank you.

It was remarkable to see so many familiar faces and to feel how strong the bonds remain between long-ago classmates. While a group of us planned to connect that night, we were pleasantly surprised at how many people showed up.

Just a few years ago, this school was slated to close.

Time will tell how long it will remain as a meeting place and an institution within the village.

The crowd that gathered on its 50th anniversary were certainly a testament to how important it is to the lives of the people who learned so much there beyond the lessons taught in

the classrooms.

LOIS TUFFIN, CLASS OF 1981

CELEBRATING A LEADER IN HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT DEAR EDITOR:

The people who rely on Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) are looking forward to a new 9,000 square foot emergency department. The new space will improve flow, enhance infection control and provide more privacy for patients.

It is happening because of the dedication of a team who persevered in the face of many obstacles. They kept focused and never wavered from their important task.

Hospital staff, physicians, volunteers, community members, patients and their families contributed to the detailed plan currently under review by the ministry. All these contributions were (and continue to be) important.

I am writing this letter, however, to highlight and offer my thanks to a person who has demonstrated dedi-

cation "above and beyond" throughout the entire, very long process. That person is Gordon MacNabb.

He is a Carleton Place boy who remembers his father getting up from the dinner table and donning an overcoat to canvas the cold streets of Carleton Place to raise funds to build the hospital that serves us so well.

Gordon graduated from high school before the current hospital was built. In his distinguished career, he established organizations that are instrumental to Canada's leadership in science and technology. We are fortunate that retirement brought him back to Carleton Place where he devoted significant time to serving on the CPDMH board. Even after he served his maximum term as a board member, he continued as chair of the hospital's redevelopment committee. His leadership on that committee was instrumental in securing approval for our new emergency department.

Thank you, Gordon.

Carleton Place owes you a huge debt of gratitude.

TENSION CONTINUES AROUND MISSISSIPPI CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL TABLE MUDDS BRING TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com

R0013021901

Tensions remain high around the council table in Carleton Place, with only one month remaining in the current term.

Just prior to the vote to go into the closed session policy review meeting on Oct. 30, Mayor Louis Antonakos questioned if one of the two agenda items qualified for in camera discussion.

"This municipality received a letter from a local developer," Antonakos stated, before Coun. Brian Doucett, the meeting's chair, cut him off.

"I think you are getting into the subject matter," Doucett warned.

"No, I am not," the mayor countered. "The nature of our discussion is about a letter sent to council and media, including the Ottawa Sun and Hometown News, which interestingly, to the best of my knowledge, has not been reported on."

Antonakos added, "This letter contained some pretty bold statements by this developer."

Coun. Theresa Fritz told Doucett to "call the question."

"I am calling the question, and I have the right to do it," the chair said.

Antonakos disagreed.

"You have a duty to allow me," he exclaimed, before Doucett silenced him.

Antonakos called for a recorded vote, which carried 6-1. He was the

sole nay.

Upon returning to the open session policy review meeting, a motion was put forward for council to accept as information the response received by the town's integrity commissioner, Tony Fleming, regarding the concerns raised by the mayor in his email to chief administrative officer Diane Smithson, which is dated Oct. 15, 2018. Furthermore, the matter is considered closed by staff.

Before the vote was called, Antonakos stated: "I had asked for information and was denied this information in camera. I respect the decision of council. I guess my one question is ... the information in the report, is it from the integrity commissioner of the town lawyer?"

Doucett did not have the answer.

"Do you not think we should know the answer?" the mayor asked.

"Call the question," Fritz stated.

"I am going to call the question," Doucett announced.

Again, Antonakos asked for a recorded vote, which carried 6-1.

The mayor was the sole nay.

As it is a confidential document, the Canadian Gazette has not seen Fleming's correspondence that was referenced in the motion.

Carleton Place's 130th council will take the declaration of office on Dec. 4.

On behalf of the Mississippi Mudds theatre group of Carleton Place, I would like to extend an invitation to you to join us for The Mikado, yet another enchanting Gilbert and Sullivan musical masterpiece. Whether or not you may know the show, you are in for a treat for the eyes, the ears, and the sense of humour.

The Mikado is a funny story of royalty in disguise, of lovers that cannot be together, of tricks, lies, and threats of public execution! Of course, it is a Gilbert and Sullivan musical, so above all, The Mikado is a story about everything working out in the end.

Gilbert and Sullivan wrote and performed this musical in 1885. The duo wrote satirical musicals that reflect the then-modern society back onto itself, and The Mikado is no different.

Although set in Japan in a fictional town, the musical was written and performed at a time when England was obsessed with The Orient and its mystical

Treat for the eyes The colour, the costumes, the makeup and hair! Wait until you see the flowing fabrics of rich, colourful patterns, the graceful movement of bodies, the beautiful tableaus.

Wait until you see the story unfold, the comedy of errors and mistaken identity, the romance of two lovers overcoming all odds, and the hilarious matchup between two unlikely partners.

Treat for the ears The harmony, the range, and the music. Wait until you are enchanted by a soft duet, a forlorn solo, a grand choral quartet, and the full sound of the entire cast layering four-part harmony beneath contrasting solos and duets. Wait until you experience the layers of voice and music, feel the base notes in your feet through the floor, feel the high notes ring the air around you, hear the magic of blended vocals.

Treat for the sense of humour This really is a funny show.

There is comedy in the story itself with each plot point layering hilarious twists on top of one another until you think the entire thing will come toppling over.

There is comedy in each individual character, in their interactions with one another, in their soliloquy to themselves, and in their personal motives. There is comedy in the acting and delivery. There is comedy in the dialogue. There is even comedy in the music and lyrics.

Now I know what you are going to say.

You will say, "Julie, you are in this play. How can we trust you?"

Well, I will tell you. My character does not enter until the finale of Act 1. Which means there is a lot of opportunity to watch and listen at the rehearsals. I have been watching my cast mates learn their music, learn their lines, develop their character voices and create the movement that will be their character's way of moving.

I literally get goosebumps every time I hear them sing in harmony. Every time. I have witnessed their progress, I have watched the show come together, and I have firsthand knowledge that this show is going to be particularly wonderful.

Join us at Carleton Place Town Hall on Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2, or Dec. 7 to 9. Tickets are available at ticketsplease.ca or call 613-4856434.

culture, beautiful clothing, and elegant customs.

All sorts of goods, fashions, ideas, and stories were being imported from Japan and England had a sort of love affair with the craze.

Gilbert and Sullivan used this show to mock high society and their insatiable appetites for what is trendy and new, and their ignorance of the true meaning of what they appropriate from other cultures. This show does not make fun of Japanese culture, but rather makes fun of the perception of the Japanese culture at the time.

BUSY BRIDGES BAR KNOWS WHERE TO SLOW DOWN DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Life is a highway, so goes the sagacious pop song of the 1980s. Yet some lives prefer a county road, like the one that begins - or ends - in Arnprior, passing through pretty towns and villages in the Ottawa valley. County Road 29 - first stop, Pakenham.

Home to North America's only five-span bridge, the village of Pakenham is a place of contrasts. A busy road cuts through the heart; cars buzzing by, brimming with purpose, too rarely turn a headlight down one of the pleasant side streets. Too bad. Lazy day-trippers know the joy of stopping at Scoops for ice cream, jumping the stream at the fairgrounds, or ordering a cold beer on a hot day at Bridges Bar and Grill.

Bridges, like Pakenham

itself, punches far above its weight class. The pub has struggled through several incarnations over the past few years, but appears to have settled into a steady and well-managed spot that offers good food with a great atmosphere. Plenty of barnlike wood and the feeling of a low ceiling are reminiscent of a neighbourhood pub in 19th century England.

Like the village, Bridges has the appearance of moving quickly. Even during late noon on a Wednesday when I popped in with a friend, Bridges was hopping with a few tables of mild empty-nester couples and a large one of boisterous bluecollar guys. Others occupied bar stools to share lunch with the television.

We take a table near the unused fireplace. The windowed back wall looks out to a weeping willow, and behind it the mighty-ish Mis-

sissippi rolls along. Good conversation, some food and drink: you could stay here way too long.

My buddy orders the hoagie - steak strips with sautĂŠed green peppers, onions and mushrooms topped with cheese. It comes with fries. I wanted the blue cheese burger, but ordered the kale crunch salad. When would I ever make a mixture of warmed red and green kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and carrots? It comes with warmed cranberry bread.

Like the village and restaurant, our meal appeared fast - meaning hastily assembled - but was slow where it mattered. The steak in his sandwich was soft and the cheese nicely melted. My veggies were patiently charred.

Bridges Bar and Grill is ideally located on a busy road. Yet it wisely knows to slow down when it matters.

That is something we should all heed. Bridges Bar and Grill is located at 2496 County Rd. 29. Call 613-624-5939 for more.

we go forward into the future and this debt gets paid off, we transfer those payments into reserves ..."

She used the bridge repairs as an example: the work is being paid off over 20 years, yet the life expectancy of the bridge is 60 years. "You've got 40 years

to basically not change the tax rate, but reallocate that money to a reserve. So when the bridge does need replacement or repair, the money's there," Whitmarsh pointed out.

Coun. John Edwards said people shouldn't lose sight of the fact the municipality has a total asset value of approximately $165

million.

"All of these expenditures have to be in context that that's the infrastructure we have to keep up and if we fall behind on that, that debt load is not financial, it becomes in the ground of rotting infrastructure," he commented.

"I thank Rhonda and staff for having an extremely comprehensive plan, while still acknowledging that there's some new changes that she's going to have to address and she's being very up front with that."

Communities across the country have similar plans for this very special day including of course the Bells of Peace initiative.

I think it should be noted that nearly 650,000 Canadians served the country and the British Empire during what is often called "the Great War." In addition hundreds of thousands of men and women supported the effort through their work in war industry or other necessary activities related to the conflict.

That is significant because, in 1918 for example,

Canada was a relatively small country in terms of population with just over eight million residents. By comparison more than 37 million people currently call Canada home!

Today, considering what is happening in our modern world, peace seems like a pipe dream. To me it's more elusive than ever.

But this Sunday, Remembrance Day 2018 and the 100th anniversary of a distant war, we have an opportunity to listen to the Bells of Peace and pray that, somehow, peace will

come to our topsy-turvy world!

This Sunday, Nov. 11, is Remembrance Day and as usual my wife and I will join the crowd at the cenotaph in our adopted hometown of Carleton Place to remember the dead from two world wars and the Korean conflict.

It is also a good opportunity to remember and thank all Canada's military veterans. That includes everyone who has served our country during times of war or those who have served and those who have died in Canadian missions aimed at securing what is clearly a very elusive goal peace!

This Nov. 11 is special because we will also be marking the centennial of the end of the First World War, on Nov. 11, 1918. More than 60,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders (Newfoundland didn't officially join Canada until 1949) perished in what, at the time, was called "the war to end all wars." Clearly things haven't quite worked out that way!

But on that Monday, 100 years ago this weekend, church bells rang out spontaneously across Canada as people celebrated the end of a bloody, four year conflict which claimed the lives of millions worldwide.

The war also resulted in a further 172,000 Canadians being wounded. Countless others in our country suffered greatly as a result of the war, especially those whose loved ones were killed or injured during the fighting.

This Sunday, through the efforts of the Royal Canadian Legion, Canada's largest veterans' organization along with churches, community councils and groups from coast-to-coast, church bells will ring 100 times in villages, towns and cities nation-wide to help the nation remember.

Appropriately the national event has been dubbed "Bells of Peace."

In Carleton Place additional Remembrance Day plans include songs performed by a choir during the traditional morning ceremonies and a tribute to local native and flying ace Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown. He is the Allied pilot who shot down famed German flyer Baron Manfred von Richthofen (the war's highest scoring

fighter pilot with 80 "victories") on April 21, 1918.

Every community has a slightly different plan although church bells will be rung in each case.

In our town the bell ringing will be heralded by the sirens of police and fire units which will sound for 30 seconds before the bells toll.

Also included in the multifaceted ceremony of remembrance, relatives of the 47 Carleton Place residents who died during WW I will ring hand bells at the Cenotaph while the church bells sound.

COUNCIL PUTS THE BRAKES ON NEW VEHICLE FOR FIRE CHIEF TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A proposal to replace the vehicle driven by Carleton Place Fire Chief Pascal Meunier two years ahead of schedule has been doused by council.

During the policy review meeting on Oct. 30, a motion to approve the purchase of a new vehicle at a cost not exceeding $50,000, with the expense unfunded in 2018 but included in the fire department's 2019 capital budget, was defeated by a 3-4 recorded vote. Mayor Louis Antonakos and councillors Doug Black and Ross Trimble were in favour. The nays: Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and councillors Brian Doucett, Theresa Fritz and Sean

Redmond.

The reasoning behind the early request - made by Meunier and supported by staff - was related to the current condition of the vehicle driven by the town's bylaw officers.

"It is 10 years old, and it needs $3,500 in repairs in order to be acceptable to drive," Meunier noted.

The vehicle, which is to be replaced in 2019, has already cost the town more than $4,000 in repairs - just in the past year.

"We have been borrowing a truck from the parks and recreation department, but we only have until Nov. 30," Meunier reminded.

No other vehicles are available past this date.

"Renting a car is approx-

imately $2,000 a month," the fire chief stated.

The vehicle driven by Meunier is also 10 years old, and it is in the municipality's long-term vehicle plan to be replaced in 2020.

Staff and Meunier suggested the purchase of a new vehicle for the fire chief, with Meunier's current ride being used by the bylaw officers until 2020. It is in good running condition at this time and would be suitable. Too, it would only be used within town limits, resulting in minimal additional mileage.

According to Meunier, purchasing the new vehicle a few months early, the higher mileage is put on in the first five years, which is when it is under warranty.

Therefore, maintenance

costs are kept to a minimum.

"I would be downgrading one size to what I am driving right now," Meunier said.

"A couple of weeks ago we approved an unfunded purchase for the fire department," Redmond noted. "Now, we are being asked to do it again."

In September, council approved the purchase of new helmets for firefighters. Even though the $10,000 expense would remain unfunded at the end of the fiscal year, it would be included in the town's capital budget for 2019.

Helmets have a 10-year shelf life from the date of manufacture, and the department's helmets were just shy of this, expiring in

early 2019. By making the early purchase, the town would save 25 per cent.

"I do not think we should make this commitment (for a new vehicle)," Redmond said on Oct. 30. "We should leave this decision to the incoming council."

The 130th council of the Town of Carleton Place will take the declaration of office on Dec. 4.

"I think staff has made a very good case to go ahead with this purchase," Antonakos countered.

"I was around when the (chief's) vehicle was purchased," he added. "It has been well taken care of, and there is a use proposed for it."

Fritz sided with Redmond, even though she had no issue with the request or need.

With the town's 2019 budget deliberations be-

ginning at the end of the month or in early December, "I do not see why this should not be a part of those talks," she said.

Fritz was not comfortable approving another unfunded expenditure at this time.

Flynn concurred.

Again, Antonakos stressed the "strong business case put forward by staff."

He also considered the replacement of the fire chief's vehicle a health and safety issue. The department requires a reliable fleet of vehicles.

"This is why we have a program for our fire trucks ... I do not see why we would not allow this," Antonakos said.

The $50,000 cost, which includes HST, includes the necessary radio and light package.

When a good friend suggested I interview his mother-in-law to get her take and impressions on the original Armistice of 1918 (she was almost five during that November), I jumped at the chance and didn't quite know what to expect. At the end of our very enjoyable time together, along with my friend David and his wife Janet (our honoured subject's daughter), it took some time for my mind to acknowledge that during our brief 30-minute chat, we had travelled decades back and forth through time to end up with a deeper and more profound appreciation for life and the experiences which shape us.

Mary McGinnis was born in North Battleford,

Sask. on Dec. 13, 1913 and currently resides in Carleton Place at the Carleton Place Terrace. In early November of 1918 she was bedridden with the Spanish flu, (an event on its own, but one that Mary mentions with little concern).

She credited her survival to treatment and care received from her grandmother, which involved wearing onion filled socks.

She remembers her father, a local and prominent businessperson, wrapping her in blankets to be able to be driven in a new Chevrolet, (she proudly added) to the street celebrations after the armistice was signed.

Even though only five years old at the time, and now approaching a full century past that mark,

she clearly recalled the crowds of noisy celebrants filling the streets of her home city, North Battleford (never referred to as a town or village by her).

And it's not only her age, good health, disarming charm, and pinpoint accurate memory that makes this lady and her history worth knowing more about. Her family took the almost unheard of step at the time of pulling up stakes from Saskatchewan and selling off their holdings and properties to move to Ontario for the sole reason of giving their two daughters, Mary and her sister, an opportunity for university education.

Mary graduated from the University of Guelph and in 1937 joined a brand new,

bustling Women's College Hospital in Toronto, as a certified dietitian. From her beaming countenance today, she obviously excelled at that progressive career path and never failed to take her own advice, including abstaining from alcohol and tobacco.

Another topic takes us back through time at lightning speed to reminisce about an early home life full of connections, community service (Mary and her family were very supportive of and involved with their church), and opportunities to learn about the world outside their Prairie home. Her house was often filled with visiting church leaders, whom her parents billeted during their stay. She remembered shopping for

winter coats (a survival necessity during cold western winters) by writing to a Toronto furrier who would ship several styles for Mary's family to choose from and then send the others back by post, all without the need for modern credit checks and balances, but simply the value of a solid family name and reputation.

Her memory and ability to relate them so clearly gained her a reputation among this area's senior demographic. Daughter Janet prompted a story from Mary about a recent IODE (Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire) remembrance season tea where those seated at Mary's table were reminiscing about where they were when they

CARLETON PLACE RESIDENT LOOKS BACK ON THE ARMISTICE OF 1918

learned of the end of the Second World War. When asked, Mary responded that while she wasn't quite clear on all the details of that momentous event, she could certainly clearly recall the circumstances around the Armistice of 1918.

Since another major milestone of time has passed since the end of that dreaded global combat, which many said helped shape our country through valiant service and sacrifice, it's appropriate we take the time to form a human connection to permit us to honour those who willingly risked and gave of their lives for our benefit. In our corner of the world, we're indeed fortunate beyond comprehension that our connection is Mary McGinnis.

The Honourable David Johnston will be in Almonte to discuss his new book entitled Trust: Twenty Ways to Build A Better Country - a very timely guide for restoring personal, community, and national trust.

The book is a much-needed manual for the repair and restoration of the social quality on which all democracies rely. One of Canada's most revered governor generals, Johnston mines his long life and varied career to give Canadians 20 ways to make themselves, their institutions, and their country more worthy of trust.

Many of these habits, attitudes, and approaches stem from his experiences serving as the representative of the head of state in Canada for seven years. Some ways are individual - listen first,

never manipulate, be consistent in public and private.

Some are geared toward leaders at all levels and of all stripes - be barn-raisers, tell everyone your plans, depend on those around you. And some are societal - apologize, cherish teachers, invite others to dance.

As such, not only every Canadian, but also every person who cares about their democratic way of life is wise to heed David Johnston's polite yet pressing call. You can become more worthy of trust. You can spot and encourage this vital quality in others. You can be an instrumental force in restoring trust in your community and country - making them better for yourself and your fellow citizens, and the world better for all.

This event will take place on Sunday, Nov. 25 at 1:30

Submitted/Mill Street Books Former governor general David Johnston will discuss his new book during an appearance at Mill Street Books in Almonte Nov. 25. pm at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. Tickets cost $35 (includes book) $10 (entry only) and are available over the phone 613-256-

9090 or in person at Mill Street Books, Almonte.

NAISMITH MEN'S SHED FINDS PLACE TO CALL HOME The Naismith Men's Shed is pleased to announce it now has a place to call home - or at least, to call its shed!

The shed membership has completed its quest to be an active group in the Mississippi Mills community and today it is signing up to volunteer at the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area, which is owned and operated by Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA). This will be a symbiotic arrangement, giving the Naismith Men's Shed access to the mill's gatehouse to hold their meetings, as well as custodianship of the shed structure adjacent to the parking lot.

Shedders look forward to working with MVCA operations staff by undertaking tasks within their capabilities and also helping to stock the R. Tait McKenzie and Dr. James Naismith

Museums' gift shop with handmade crafted items.

Shedders plan to continue their twice-monthly breakfasts at Mamma's Place in Almonte while the Mill provides a place for member drop-ins and workspace for hobbies and crafts.

Included in this event is the signing of a use agreement with the owners of the Mirabelli woodwork shop in Appleton village.

The arrangement will allow shed members to use the space during normal working hours, throughout the year, to pursue more complex carpentry work and other crafts.

"It has been an exciting eight months for Naismith Men's Shedders," said shed leader Dave Steventon.

"The members have worked hard, with this day as the goal, to develop the Shed from a simple idea in the Spring to what you see

today; all the necessary tasks completed to establish the Naismith Men's Shed as a functional, worthy participant in the Mississippi Mills community."

"It gives over 30 shed members purpose, and a string of guys to call friends, either in the social environment of breakfasts (shedders love to eat!), retirement home drop-ins, social gatherings at the Mill gatehouse, or while pursuing crafts and hobbies at its MoK shed, Mirabelli workshop or during community projects."

"Experiencing depression through loneliness or isolation is more lethal for men than heart attack or stroke," Steventon continued. "The Men's Shed movement with over 2,000 sheds worldwide, and in this case the Naismith Men's Shed, meets the need unique in men to find support through socializing with other men and doing guy things."

Anyone in the community is invited to visit our new shed website at www.naismithmensshed.ca to learn more of what the Men's Shed movement is all about.

BUSINESS

CARLETON PLACE BOWLING FACILITY UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Ashley and Christine and Walrond are the owners of Chasin' Turkeys Bowling Alley in Carleton Place.

The husband and wife purchased the longtime business, formerly known as Visions Bowling Centre, from Mike Sears, taking possession on June 22.

"The idea came from wanting to have a place where people can get together and unplug," Ashley explained.

"We are all so focused on our devices ... come hang out and chat."

According to Christine, "the bowling alley was not specifically the draw."

She noted: "Ashley has wanted to own his own (business) for a long time, going down many avenues and writing many business plans. This opportunity came up and it just made sense."

Christine's background is real estate, with Ashley doing software sales.

Located at 51 Bridge St., Chasin' Turkeys Bowling Alley opened at the end of July.

"We were closed for about three weeks, doing renovations," Christine noted. "It was a messy job, but it is done."

The smoke eater is gone from the wall, along with the old ceiling tiles and tiki bar.

"We cleaned, painted and added LED lighting," Christine said, and "we refaced the front of the bar."

Other changes will happen over time, including the possible addition of televisions.

"We love Mike, and we love what he did for this community," Christine stated. "We just wanted to update the bowling alley modernize it."

Chasin' Turkeys Bowling Alley is a five-pin bowling alley and fully licensed event facility. There are six lanes to choose from, along with a separate party/ meeting room.

Tara Gesner/Metroland Ashley and Christine and Walrond are the owners of Chasin' Turkeys Bowling Alley in Carleton Place. The husband and wife purchased the longtime business, formerly known as Visions Bowling Centre, from Mike Sears, taking possession on June 22.

"It can be rented out for many different occasions: birthday parties, family events, work parties, team building experiences and much more," Christine said.

The biggest use thus far is birthday parties, with packages starting at $200.

Where did the Chasin' Turkeys name come from?

"A turkey is three strikes in a row," Ashley noted. "Also, it is a play on words ... let us chase after your little turkeys during birthday parties."

Chasin' Turkeys Bowling Alley is open seven days a week. Hours of operation are as follows: Monday from 6 to 9 p.m., Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m.

Taxes included, shoe rental is $2 and games are $6.50 each per person.

There is a canteen, which sells a variety of snacks, including hotdogs.

Christine was born and raised in Carleton Place, leaving for a bit, but then

returned.

"We have been back living in town for almost seven years," she said.

The couple has two children: seven-year-old Jeremiah and five-year-old Cora.

So far, Chasin' Turkeys Bowling Alley has been a striking success.

"It is everything we wanted it to be and more," Christine noted. "We want to thank everyone who has shown us amazing support."

"We absolutely love it!"

Ashley added. "The response has been fantastic."

He said: "Go out for dinner to one of the nice restaurants in town, and instead of going home and watching Netflix, come here ... have a cocktail and bowl a few frames."

Christine stressed, "This is also a place where kids can come and feel safe and welcome."

Human trafficking is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable and now the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. This modern-day form of slavery involves the recruitment and exploitation of millions of men, women, and children in countries around the world, including ours. More than 90 per cent of

the thousands of girls being trafficked in Canada were born here; on average they were 13 years old when first recruited.

Persons who are socially or economically disadvantaged are most likely to be at risk of exploitation. Sextraffickers target the vulnerable and then use psychological and physical means to create dependen-

cy and deprive them of their normal lives. They are put to work through escort services, strip clubs, fake massage parlours, internet sites and other such venues, or as street prostitutes.

A talk on Human Trafficking in Lanark County will be given by Shannon Hogan, client support worker at Victim Services Lanark County, based in

Smiths Falls. This community-based program works in partnership with police, emergency services, Children's Aid Society, Victim Witness Assistance Program and the local women's shelter. It provides around-the-clock immediate and confidential shortterm crisis intervention services, practical assistance, information, refer-

rals and emotional support to persons affected by crime, tragedy and/or disaster. Victim Services Lanark County is a nonprofit organization funded by the Ministry of the Attorney General via the Victim Justice Fund and part of the Victim Crisis Assistance Ontario program (VCAO).

Please join us on Mon-

day, Nov. 19 to learn more about this important social issue, being presented by the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) as part of a speaker series held at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion (26 Beckwith St. E.) Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; donations from non-members would be appreciated.

FOREVER YOUNG PILOT PROJECT AIMS TO CONNECT YOUTH AND SENIORS ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Seniors have a lot of knowledge to pass on to youth, but a new project is set to reveal that young people also have much to teach our elders.

The Mississippi Mills Youth Centre (MMYC), Mills Community Support and United Way Lanark County (UWLC) have joined together on the Forever Young pilot project, which launched Oct. 18 at the youth centre in Almonte.

The initiative aims to forge a connection between the youth and senior populations.

Armed with $20,550 in funding for one year from the United Way, Mills Community Support will handle financing for the program, which will be run by MMYC. UWLC advisory council chair Helen McIntosh said the project aligns with the United Way's goals of Healthy People, Strong Communities, All That Kids Can Be and From Poverty to Possibility.

"When we saw the application for this grant, it covered a lot of these areas," she explained. "It brings in youth, it reduces seniors' isolation and it gets people together in the community to make this a strong community.

We're really happy to see the initiative and happy to support it and fund it in whatever way we can."

It's the hope of UWLC regional director Fraser Scantlebury that the project will inspire other youth centres across Lanark County to offer similar programming.

Mills Community Support's community development co-ordinator, Jeff Mills, believes Forever Young will help eliminate some stigmas surrounding seniors and youth.

"Often people categorize groups of people and we look at youth often as being at risk and we often look at seniors as being the frail elderly. What we're trying to do with this project is reframe that to more of a culture of gifts," he noted. "We believe that every kid has a gift to share with a

All you have to do is facilitate that coming together."

"It's not about anyone being diminished; it's about the strength that comes when you put those groups together," Mills said, using the example of a senior teaching youth card games such as euchre, and in turn, the youth could show the senior how to better use a smartphone.

MMYC manager Janet Morrison said Forever Young will build on the intergenerational programming the youth centre has offered in the past. Most recently, youth provided a leaf clean-up service to seniors.

"We've done some gardening and had different people to come in and help with that and we've done knitting and cooking ... but this really gives us a chance to do it regularly, every single week.

We've seen what happens when you put people of different ages and backgrounds together and we're thankful to have this part-

nership," she stated.

The program launch also turned into a brainstorming session for ideas to connect seniors and youth. Some of the possibilities include: survivor skills, social networking and technology, genealogy, horticulture, first aid, financial literacy, baking, creative writing and pet care.

The youth centre board fully embraces the potential of the project, said MMYC board chair Jane Torrance.

"From a youth centre perspective, we've been open for almost two years now and one of the thrills as a board is when we've come into the centre and the kids are sitting around with a senior and the senior is teaching them how to knit ...," she remarked.

"The conversation happening in that circle with the youth and senior was quite outstanding. The thought of an older person being able to mentor young people from a very safe place, in a non-judgmental way, is something we embraced as a board."

OPP'S NEW MENTAL HEALTH NURSE 'MAKING A DIFFERENCE' WITH 30 REFERRALS

See the Pros at

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The new mental health nurse operating out of Lanark County OPP headquarters in Perth has seen 30 referrals so far since late August.

"I was really excited to interview for this position," said Morgan Crew, during a presentation to the Lanark County Association of Police Services Board Oct. 3.

Crew is a registered mental health nurse with Lanark County Mental Health, who now works with the OPP. Her new position allows her to "have clients receive the right care at the right time," and the right time is often "better done at the first point of contact."

Crew's position was made possible thanks to a Proceeds of Crime grant, and she is on a twoyear assignment with the OPP. It is hoped that another nurse can be added in the future.

"It's been up and running for a month now," said Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP in introducing Crew to the gathering. "We are in a very good position."

Needham said his initial hope for the program was that it would "prevent just one person from go-

Helping seniors stay safe on the internet

During National Senior Safety Week, which takes place annually from November 6 to 12, the Canada Safety Council (CSC) shines a light on issues affecting Canadian seniors’ health, independence and safety.

The CSC’s awareness campaign this year focuses on digital security for seniors. Working alongside Telus Wise, the organization is striving to provide seniors with relevant educational resources and programs.

INTERNET USE BY SENIORS IS ON THE RISE The percentage of internet-users older than 65 is on the rise.

According to the 2016 General Social Survey conducted by Statistics Canada, from 2013 to 2016 the number of internet users rose from 65 to 81 per cent among Canadians aged 65 to 74 and from 35 to 50 per cent among Canadians aged 75 and over.

TELUS WISE SENIORS Internet safety for seniors is an increasingly important issue.

Therefore, the CSC and Telus are collaborating to offer seniors free, in-store workshops on digital security. Information can be found on the Telus Wise Seniors webpage (wise.telus.com/wiseseniors).

Prevention Tips

• Keep your personal financial information safe. Never provide your bank account or credit card numbers over the phone or Internet, or by email. Do not share your personal identification numbers (PINs) or online banking passwords with anyone – not even family members or close friends.

• If you shop online, shop from reputable retailers and use one credit card to pay for your purchases.

This will make it easier to track your transactions and spot suspicious activity. Change this credit card every year.

• Review your credit card and debit statements regularly. If something doesn’t look right, contact your financial institution right away.

• Donate only to reputable charities that you know and trust. Do not donate money to an unknown charity. If you want to donate to specific charities, directly contact them to safely make a donation.

• If you think a deal sounds too good to be true, it is.

Walk away.

• Never rush into a purchase because a salesperson is pressuring you. Take some time to think about the purchase. Be especially wary of apparent doorto-door repair or salespeople, for example, who appear friendly but insist on entering your home or pressuring you to make a purchase. Tell them you need several days to think about it,or choose not to open your door.

• When you are out running errands, leave your extra credit and debit cards in a safe place at home. This will help protect you in case you lose your purse or wallet.

• If you lose or misplace your debit or credit cards, contact your financial institution as soon as possible.

• Order your free credit report at least once a year

For those who prefer learning from home, the webpage provides a treasure trove of tips for using the internet and smartphones safely.

Especially valuable is the Telus Wise Seniors Guide, which addresses such topics as creating secure internet passwords and shopping on reputable websites.

Limit the information you share online.

Protect your personal information, do not give out your social insurance number online under any circumstances.

SUCH GARMENTS WERE NOT COMMON IN RENFREW COUNTY IN 1930S, COLUMNIST WRITES MARY COOK Column

It would be the second time I would see a set of Stone Marten Furs.

The first time was when Mother's friend from New York came to visit and she had a set around her neck, which I was sure were alive.

Sitting in the back seat of the Model T, I had a good look at them, and realized they were dead as door nails! Why anyone would wear a pair of dead animals

around their neck was beyond me.

And then I saw, for the second time in my life, another pair, and again they were draped around someone's neck.

Mother had taken me with her to a meeting in Renfrew, where a bunch of women who belonged to local Women's Institutes were gathered together in a church hall to talk about what they would do to help the poor families in the area. I couldn't imagine anyone poorer than we were, but there they sat discussing ways and means of lending a helping hand to those who didn't have enough money to even put food on their tables.

We ate like kings on the farm. There was always a smoke house full of meat, chickens, geese and ducks, a sauerkraut barrel and salt

pork in the summer kitchen, and enough vegetables, pickles and preserves in the cellar to feed half of Renfrew County. We had lots of food. We just didn't have any money.

Well, that day in a church hall, a woman who seemed to be running things, was sitting right in front of us, and around her neck was a set of Marten furs, exactly like the ones Mother's friend from New York wore! Right away I lost interest in the talk from the woman at the front of the hall. I leaned forward in my chair so that I was just inches away from the little beady black eyes that were looking back at me. I could tell they weren't real, but tiny little glass beads. And the mouth of one Stone Marten was firmly attached to the body of the one beside it. Like it was biting it!

I felt the eyes were staring right at me, but any way I moved in my chair, I couldn't get away from them, and it was almost like I was responsible for their being wrapped around someone's neck.

I had no idea what animal the furs had come from, but I was quite sure we didn't have any like them in Renfrew County. I was dying to touch the one that was stretched right across the back of the woman's neck. But then I wondered, what if it came to life? So I had to content myself with just staring at its little beady black eyes.

It seemed the meeting was about to come to a close, because the woman who was standing at the front of the hall announced that tea would be served, and asked the woman with the animals around her neck if she

would say grace.

It looked like she was more than happy to oblige, because she jumped up, set her purse on the floor, and unwrapped the furs from around her neck, flinging them onto the back of her chair. They missed connecting, and landed square on my lap, now with four black beady eyes staring at me.

I let a war-hoop out of me, flung the furs onto the floor, and slid over to Mother who wasn't at all pleased at my carry-on. I wouldn't even bend down to pick them up, and I couldn't wait to get back to Northcote to tell everyone about the woman who wore animals wrapped around her neck.

My brother Emerson didn't believe me and said I was making the whole story up. As always my sister Audrey settled the issue once and for all. She had a copy of

a movie magazine, well read, and she opened it up to a page where one of the famous stars of the day was wearing a set of Martin Furs exactly like the ones I had just seen in Renfrew.

As far as I was concerned, if I never again came close to another set of furs wrapped around someone's neck as long as I lived, it would be too soon for me!

"It's going to make sense," said Needham. "Thirty cases in one month. 30! It's making a difference."

SWERDFAGER, Sandra June

November 9, 1941October 28, 2018 Sandra passed away, unexpectedly, in her sleep, on Sunday. She was the beloved daughter of the late Ken and the late June Swerdfager, the treasured sister of John Swerdfager (the late Sandy) and Melinda Glew (Tom), and the dear aunt of Wendy Swerdfager (Lee Roy). Sandra was a truly unique, creative and funny woman.

She loved to make everyone laugh and had a very kind heart. She taught us all a lot about life. She was so loved and will be greatly missed by all of us. She has a special place in our hearts. Sandra lived at Rideau Regional Centre for over 50 years. She was a friend to everyone. She enjoyed many activities and outings especially singing in the choir and going to church. She had wonderful care and was very happy there. When RRC closed Sandra was very fortunate to find a home at Lera with The Mills Community Support along with two of her very close friends. She was much loved by all the staff and residents there even when she was feisty. They were truly a family and she loved all of them. Last year she moved to Hwy. 43, also with The Mills, and found the same kind and compassionate care there. I want to thank Julie and all the other staff of angels at both Lera and Hwy. 43 for their dedication and kindness in taking such wonderful care of Sandra. She was so very lucky to have all of them and she loved them all. We love them too. Sandra will be laid to rest beside her parents in a private family ceremony. A celebration of her life will be held at her home in late November. For those wishing to, a donation to Mills Community Support would be greatly appreciated.

FIELDING 2x44 In memory of my grandmother, Elizabeth who passed away “50” years ago, November 10, 1968.

If I could visit heaven even for a day, Maybe for a moment the pain would go away.

I’d put my arms around you and whisper words so true, That living life without you, is the hardest thing to do.

No matter how I spend my days, No matter what I do, No mornings or evenings, When I don’t think of you.

Fifty years have passed dear Gran, But my memories of you are always on my mind.

Sitting in the rocker, sipping tea loaded with sugar, Threading needles with different colors of thread.

Waking up to my glass of water in the morning, The boiled egg for breakfast, a piece of eggshell always in my bowl.

So many loving moments, Gran.

When I think of you often, my tears fall!

I deeply loved you, and miss you so so much!

Forever and ever your granddaughter, Karen P.S. Gran, I’m now a Grammie too!

I have three beautiful grandbabies: “Allison, Dane and Frank”.

You would have loved them so much Gran!

We’re missing you a ittle more Each time we hear your name, We’ve cried so many tears, Yet our hearts are broken just the same.

We miss our times together, Things in common we could share, But nothing fills the emptiness, Now that you’re no longer there.

We’ve so many precious memories, To last our whole life through, Each one of them reminders, Of how much we’re missing you.

Forever loved and missed Doug ~ Mom/Grandma What is home without a mother?

All things this world may send, But when we lost our darling mother, We lost our dearest friend.

But all we can do dear mother, Is go and tend your grave, And leave behind tokens of love, To the best mother God ever made.

So you who have a mother, Cherish her with care, For you’ll never know the heartache, Till she is no longer there.

Miss you and love you always Jason, Jeremy and Benji and families

Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall, Living without you is the hardest part of all.

You did so much for all of us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you.

Those special years will not return, When we are all together, But with love in our hearts, You walk with us forever.

Always remembered, sadly missed and loved by his wife Audrey, Tracey, Travis and Ellen and grandchildren Claire and Grace

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

DIZZELL, Jim - In loving memory of a dear husband, Dad and Poppy who passed away 10 years ago on November 9, 2008.

They say it’s a beautiful journey, From the old world to the new, Someday we’ll make that journey, Which will lead us straight to you.

And when we reach that garden, In which there is no pain, We’ll put our arms around you, And never part again.

Quietly remembered every day, No need for words except to say, Still loved, still missed every day.

Babe, Brenda Leah, Orville and grandchildren

RITCHIE, Allan - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather and great-grandfather who passed away November 3, 2011.

IN MEMORIAM MUNRO, Florence In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, who passed away October 31, 2007.

We are sad within our memory; Lonely are our hearts today; For the one we loved so dearly; Has forever been called away.

We think of you in silence; No eye may see us weep; But many silent tears are shed; When others are asleep.

As we look upon your picture; Sweet memories we recall; Of a face so full of sunshine; A smile for one and all.

Though your smile has gone forever; And your hand we cannot tough; We shall never lose sweet memories; Of the one we loved so much.

Always remembered and forever loved, The Family

THINGS TO DO

INTIMATE EVENING WITH SÉAN MCCANN NOV. 10 IN ALMONTE

Submitted/David Howells As part of a fundraiser for phase 2 of the Almonte Riverwalk project, musician Séan McCann will appear in concert at the Almonte Old Town Hall on Nov. 10.

Spend an intimate evening with musician Séan McCann at Almonte Old Town Hall on Nov. 10.

Proceeds from this event will go to support Phase 2 of the Almonte Riverwalk project.

McCann, acclaimed singer-songwriter, Juno Award nominee, and mental health and recovery advocate, is taking his music and his message to Ontario fans this fall. McCann's Face to Face Tour is a celebration of community and togetherness in the age of the ever-growing and everisolating digital world. As a founding member of internationally renowned folk group Great Big Sea, McCann chose to forge his own path five years ago, embarking on a solo career which has brought him on a new journey with music as his medicine.

McCann's musical message is now more than just notes and melodies. His last two solo albums, Help Your Self and You Know I Love You, were a large musical departure from his Great Big Sea beginnings, but in his latest release, There's a Place, he brings together his roots and his message on 11 beautifully crafted tracks sung by a man who knows his purpose, who embraces his past, but refuses to let it define him.

"I believe that a secret can kill you but that a song can save your life," said McCann. "Music is my religion and it has helped me survive through some very hard times and now I hope it can help me find a real connection in a digital world. I've learned that the best version of myself is literally in the presence of

other people, and I know I have an impact at that level so I want to fight to help keep live music gatherings like this alive. We are made of music and I want people to feel that with me ... face to face."

McCann celebrated seven years of sobriety in November 2017 and is now a sought-after speaker, mental health, abuse, and recovery advocate.

The concert gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $32 each and can be purchased at Mill Street Books in Almonte. Pick up in person at 52 Mill St., Almonte or reserve with payment by telephone 613-256-9090.

For more information about the concert, please email tmclaren@mississippimills.ca.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place residents consumed $9,660 worth of double-sized chocolate chip cookies during Smile Cookie week, Sept.

17-23.

At a cost of $1 each, Smile Cookies were sold at all three Tim Hortons locations in town, which are owned by couple Lisa Peters and Scot Moore.

At the Franktown Road Tim Hortons on Oct. 30, Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation executive director Robyn Arseneau, donor relations co-ordinator Krista Simpson and board member Flora Neave, as well as CPDMH board member Greg Smith were on hand to accept a cheque from Peters and her staff.

"The money will go toward needed patient care equipment, which supports the health care of the community," Arseneau said.

Peters noted, "This has been the best year for cookie sales since Tim Hortons and the foundation partnered on the fundraising initiative."

"A big thank you to Lisa, Scot and their staff, as well as the volunteers and patrons for making this year's Smile Cookie campaign a huge success," Arseneau stated.

Brian Quarrington owns the Almonte Tim Hortons on Sadler Drive.

Although the restaurant lost the better part of two days during the 2018 Smile Cookie campaign to power outages, a consequence of tornadoes and violent storms on Sept. 21, "we still raised $3,915," he said.

The monies will support the Almonte General Hospital's (AGH) $4-million Put Yourself in the Picture campaign, which ensures residents have access to the best diagnostic tools available.

AGH purchased two dig-

ital X-ray machines, one stationary and one portable, along with two ultrasound machines. The total cost of the equipment: $1.8 million. These machines are already in operation, with monies raised paying off the necessary loans.

The remaining $2.2 million is for a CT scanner.

"We are so fortunate to have great corporate citizens like Brian Quarrington and his wonderful staff raising funds for the hospital and manor," AGH/Fairview Manor Foundation managing director Al Roberts told the Canadian Gazette.

"Our Almonte Tim Hortons and its loyal customers really put a smile on the faces of our patients and residents each year with its Smile Cookie campaign," he added.

"Many thanks to all the hospital and manor community for helping us raise this amount during the Smile Cookie campaign," Quarrington noted.

Left: Liberation of Dalfsen by members of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, April 13, 1945.

November 11th Remembrance Day Ceremony November 11th will mark the annual Remembrance Day ceremony at the Carleton Place Cenotaph in Memorial Park. Again this year Branch 192 Carleton Place of The Royal Canadian Legion, will conduct the ceremony with veterans, Legion members and members of other service organizations parading from the Town Hall to the cenotaph. The parade, led by the Legion Colour Party, will march off at 10:30 a.m. and march down Bridge Street to Franklin and then to Memorial Park where the Ceremony will begin at 10:45 a.m.

I extend a personal invitation to the community to come out and join the ceremony and pay tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice during WW1, WW11, Korea, Afghanistan and in other areas of conflict where our military were involved. As November 11 falls on a Sunday this year and schools are closed, it is hoped that parents will come with their children to attend and Remember. On completion of the service, the children will be invited to place their poppies on and around the cenotaph.

Following the ceremony, the participants and public are invited to the newly renovated Branch 192 for refreshments and camaraderie. The Branch is located at 177 George Street, Carleton Place. I hope to see many of you there.

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of Armistice, and our community will participate in this historical event through the introduction of a Bells of Peace Initiative to honour through Remembrance, the Armistice of 1918. The general concept derives from the use of bells as a celebratory announcement that the war had ended. Relatives of WW1 Veterans and all residents of Carleton Place are invited to an informal gathering at the local Cenotaph at 4:45 p.m. They are asked to bring hand bells with them to participate in the Bells of Peace initiative. At 5 p.m., sirens will sound for 30 seconds, and that will be followed by the sounds of Church Bells and the Bells in the old Post Office ringing 100 times to celebrate the Centenary of Armistice.

They gave their tomorrow for your today.

Yours in Comradeship, Peter Schaffer President
