Colin James to rock Carp Fair DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com CARP – The best little fair in Canada unveiled this week what might be the best little lineup of entertainers, too. Among the artists at the 147th Carp Fair, from Sept. 23 to 26, are: • Colin James: blues, rock and neo-swing veteran; • The Road Hammers: topping Canadian country music charts since 2005; • Chilliwack: Can-con icons remembered for “My Girl (Gone Gone Gone)” and other classics; • Printers Alley Band: southern rockers all the way from Florida; • Gail Gavin: perennial favourite at the Carp Fair; • The Prescotts; • Tommy Cash: brother to Johnny, but with top 10 singles of his own. James kicks off the homecoming and opening ceremony Friday night. Opening for him is indie folk rockers The Prescotts. They are descendents of The Family Brown, who entertained on CJOH for many years. Tickets are $55 at the Carp Fair office, starting July 19. The Road Hammers take to the stage Saturday evening. Opening for them is Printers Alley. Tickets are $30.

Fair general manager Joyce Trafford is excited about this year’s lineup. “We are hoping to sell all the tickets (1,500 to 1,800) prior to the fair,” Trafford said. Cash will entertain Saturday afternoon, and Chilliwack will rock Sunday afternoon along with the high energy band Sticks’n Stones. Admission is free with a $10 gate pass. However, besides music there will be plenty to do and see at the fair. Along with rides and games and traditional fair foods such as cotton candy, spectators will be treated to The Flying Fools. These high divers don’t just jump into a pool from way up there. Fire is incorporated into the act. The immensely popular lumberjack show won’t be back, just like the racing pigs from a few years ago. But that’s because every couple of years the fair has to give folks something new to talk about, Trafford said. “That’s it. Two years, then it’s time to change it up.”

CARP – Residents have come together to form the basis of the West Carleton Health Access Foundation (WCHAF), but they insist they will need help to ensure medical services remain strong in the community. Chair Moira Winch, vice-chair June Lemmex and secretary treasurer Greg LeBlanc are the core that has constituted a foundation for the unique non-profit diagnostic facility at the Carp-located West Carleton Medical Centre. It will resemble a hospital foundation in that it will raise funds for medical equipment and the associated renovations, except that this foundation will be almost exclusively volunteer run. Other members include Roly Armitage, Connie Murray, Jack Shaw, Bill Cox and Dr. Barry Bruce. Together, the residents will purchase several pieces of equipment totalling more than $1 million over the next few years, including: • A digital X-ray unit at $350,000; • A diagnostic ultrasound unit at $300,000; • A bone mineral density unit at $200,000. Winch said patients in the catchment area – which includes all of West Carleton, along with major portions of Kanata and Stittsville; 100,000 people in all – have come to depend on accessing several services in one location. And she wants to ensure it not only stays but grows as technologies evolve. “I believe this one-stop shopping is really important,” said Winch, a Kanata resident and former clerk of Goulbourn Township.
