Three Habitat for Humanity homes to be built in Carleton Place
Bad news, good news
BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
DESMOND DEVOY
ALMONTE - There are several things Almonte could make a top 10 list for – summer festivals, rich history and beautiful rivers. But one local business has made their own mark on a top 10 list, after CBC named Mill Street Books one of the top 10 bookstores in Canada.
CARLETON PLACE – Three Carleton Place families will be given the unexpected opportunity to move into brand new area homes, the first of which is scheduled for completion by this Christmas. Habitat for Humanity hasn’t built locally outside the National Capital Region (NCR) in a long time, but was given a $75,000 donation by Carleton Place resident Duncan McNaughton’s company, Tiree – with two conditions. The homes were to be built in Carleton Place, and Carleton Place area families were to move in (Mississippi Mills and Beckwith residents also qualify). “He (McNaughton) is the president of Tiree, in Ottawa, but he lives in Carleton Place,” said Habitat for Humanity NCR CEO Donna Hicks. “He wanted to help his home town. You wouldn’t believe it – we’ve already had our kitchen donated. Mike’s Millwork called and donated the kitchen.” One house is scheduled to start construction in mid-September, to be completed by Christmas. The lot is located on King Street in Carleton Place, with a double lot on Sarah Street, both of which were purchased at a reduced price. Once the lots have been severed, construction can begin.

CARLETON PLACE – Two Carleton Place co-workers, who had just received word that they were to be laid off, are now part of a lottery syndicate that has collected a $7.1-million jackpot. Shaun Hogan and Ian James Wilson, both of Carleton Place, were part of a group of 18 co-workers at Smart Technologies of Kanata who had been playing the lottery together for the past five years. On Aug. 10, word came down that the company would be winding down operations as the plant was moving to Mexico and that layoffs were to begin next month. The next day, at 7 a.m. as the dejected workers showed up for work, group member Collin Willard was the first to notice their lottery numbers had come up golden, and they were all winners, with each member collecting around $400,000 each. “(I felt) pretty much shock and disbelief for the most part,” said Hogan earlier this week. He had heard similar stories from lottery winners he had seen on TV, but now it was his turn. “It’s even more unbelievable when you’re (the one) to win it yourself,” said Hogan. “After the shock it’s relief, it’s joy.” To say that the good news could not have come at a better time would be an understatement.

Lotto club winners got good news day after layoffs announced at their plant Contined from front “The atmosphere around work was very toxic,” said Hogan. “There was no good mood going around.” Ironically, word of the win came on the day of his eighth anniversary with the company. When the good news came, Hogan and others thought that it was someone’s idea of a bad, cruel joke. Once they found out it was true though, the good wishes started flowing in. “A lot of people are happy for you,” said Hogan. “It’s a great turnaround.” The lads quickly got together and did not waste any time in collecting their winnings, heading down to Toronto on Aug. 12. While Hogan does not plan to buy an NHL team or purchase a Pacific Island as a personal playground, he does have sensible plans for his money. “I’m not really doing anything wild or crazy,” said Hogan. “I’ll put my mortgage away, put my bills away,” though he is promising his family a “really awesome,” trip next summer. He would love to follow in the footsteps of Super Bowl winners and go to Disneyland, but now that he has no excuse, he has family to visit in British Columbia. And don’t expect to see any fancy Hummers in the driveway either. “We get to continue the life we like living,” said Hogan. His wife Erica, daughter Em-

I want to decide what I want to do when I grow up!” He is interested in building inspection or the trades. “I’m good with my hands,”

said Hogan. “Sitting behind a desk is not my thing … Building good things is very appealing to me.” The layoffs at Hogan’s company will be phased in over the next six months. Of the 18 lottery winners, 10 were slated to be part of the first round of three waves of layoffs planned for Sept. 9. Hogan was to be part of the second round of layoffs planned for the second week of October. “Now, I’m wishing I was in the first round,” he said with a laugh. While Hogan has lived in Carleton Place for the past 15 years, before that he lived in the Appleton area going back to his time in Kindergarten.

Afghanistan veterans return home to town celebration LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 Carleton Place worked in conjunction with the town to host an Afghanistan Veterans’ Appreciation Day on Sunday, Aug. 14. Legion member Ron Goebel helped spearhead the event in which 15 to 18 military men and women were honoured for their work overseas on behalf of all Afghan veterans. “We originally planned to have festivities on July 1, but the mission wasn’t finished until July 7. It was approved by the Dominion Command in May and we got working on it right away,” said Goebel. With the blessings of the local Legion as well as Carleton Place’s council and Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, the ball started rolling in May. “Everyone worked really hard,” Goebel said. “I thought it went extremely well, but I was disappointed in the turnout.” It was well advertised, there were signs all over town and newspaper articles touted the event for weeks leading up to the ceremony, he said. “It wasn’t a lack of promotion or advertising. For what these people have done for us … to give us our freedom here in Canada, I’m just appalled that we didn’t have very many people. I thought we would have had at least half the town out. It’s very disappointing from that aspect,” he said.
“The ones who did turn out, we certainly appreciate that. They were entertained by a perfect ceremony and a great parade.” Firefighters, police officers, motorcycle riders from the Canadian Army Veterans group, Legion members, war veterans, and the Lanark Highlands Pipes and Drums formed a parade route from town hall to the cenotaph where wreaths were laid on behalf of various groups and organizations. Then it was a march back to town hall where Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg presented Lt. Col. Ian Becking of the 42nd Field Regiment with a key to the town of Carleton Place. A proclamation was also read at town hall before continuing with the parade to the Legion where more presentations were made. “We are making a difference, and in the 10 and a half months that I was (in Afghanistan), I have seen progress during that time,” said Becking. “It’s a hard mission that we’ve undertaken and it’s an even harder one as we move to the training side of things. The 157 soldiers and four civilians who died in Afghanistan, never forget them, and never forget the people who supported us while we were over there. We thank you and appreciate it.” Sonnenburg was thankful to those veterans in attendance. “This is one of the proudest days of my life,” he said. See ‘VETERANS’, page 7 Photos by Laurie Weir

GOLF…THE GAME OF A LIFETIME
Once summer started it’s been one of the best we’ve seen in years. The golf courses are now in great condition. With all the heat and humidity, make sure you drink plenty of water to keep hydrated while taking advantage of the outdoors. Your lifelong routine continues: At this time of the season we’ve already played enough games that we are “golf fit”. That is, we are not sore after we play or practice. We’ve also met a whole lot of new friends and spent time with old friends while enjoying the links.
With the summer soon winding down and kids getting ready to go back to school, the best time of the year to play golf is arriving. In September and October the days are cooler, the courses are less busy so we can take some time to hone our skills. Remember these four letters: P. I. P. E.
• Play: As a rule of thumb, as we progress in golf, for every 2 practice sessions you spend at the driving range, you should play at least one round of golf on the golf course. This gives you a very rounded routine to expand your abilities. Ask any golfer and they’ll say: “you can never play too much”
• Practice: With cooler days ahead we find it much easier to spend time on the driving range. Hitting just one small bucket of balls, three times per week can help improve your golf swing and your flexibility substantially.
• Enjoy: More than anything else, remember golf is a game. Have fun while at the same time stay fit.
• Instruction: Now is the time to start fresh with a more effective golf swing and fix your season long frustrations. A correct swing results in better health and better performance.
You’re never too old to start. PLAY GOLF! By Dan Kolar PGA of Canada Certified Golf Instructor Head Professional, Mississippi Golf Club

Continued from page 4 “Honestly … since before I started school I always got a special sense of pride every time I saw my father and my brother on November 11. However, I must admit, as I got older, the sensation became less and now I feel I have never said a proper thank you to them for their sacrifices. “It’s time to say a proper and heart-felt thank you to you, our Afghanistan veterans and to family and friends of those who have been in combat. You have done a great job… well done, now is the time to stand down. This is your day; enjoy it, and a lifetime more.” For one local Afghanistan veteran, Corp. James Zieman of Lanark County, the event a total surprise. “I had no idea this was happening today,” he said. “My friend, Andy Moxley (Legion member) told me about it and he got me out here today. It’s the first welcome home I’ve received like this … it’s very nice.” The event honouring the veterans of the Afghanistan mission was a deeply personal one for LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier. “The most profound element of this Afghanistan mission has been a real reawakening of just how respectful and how proud we are of our military,” said Hillier. “A person in the audience I want to single out, one I’m very proud of and (who) has served a couple tours in Kandahar and Yugoslavia. ..is here today in Carleton Place and I was proud to see him drive up with the CAV (Canadian Army Veterans). It’s my younger brother, Sgt. Mark Hillier. When I think of events like this, it’s with deep respect that I carry for the military – people like my brother and my son… the military has deep roots and a profound respect within my family and I thank you all very much.” The day also had a personal resonance for Lanark
County Warden Sharon Mousseau. “I thought of my dad today at the cenotaph. He was a veteran of (the Second World War) and he brought home a British war bride and I was a product of that. Of course I am proud to be married to a retired member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and he served his country for over 33 years,” said Mousseau. “But today is all about our Afghanistan veterans and it is an honour for me to bring greetings and to lay a wreath on behalf of the County of Lanark. The men and women who served our country in Afghanistan deserve our honour and our gratitude.” For MP Scott Reid, the veterans of yesterday were always old men, but with the return of the Afghan vets, the face of veterans is changing to a younger face, one that includes females. “For someone of my generation, we are honouring our veterans, our heroes, who are younger than us and in some cases, young enough to be my own children,” said Reid. “That profoundly changes the way you look at things when you see that. The spirit of heroism is part of our present and for that I am deeply thankful. You have made our maple leaf flag a symbol one that we can all unite around.” Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd also touched on the same notion that this most recent military mission was different from every conflict Canada has been involved in for many years. “My generation, we didn’t think of war. It was something that happened a long time before us. We talked about peacekeeping. These people have been at war and they have come home, just like the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War… they have come home,” said Kidd. “It’s important to do what we have done today. It’s so important to remember these groups. Thank you for putting on such a Photo by Laurie Weir great day today and to our veterans for all you have A woman wipes away tears during the Afghanistan Veterans Apdone. We will remember.” preciation Day ceremonies on Aug. 14.

Time to enshrine abortion rights in law
Abortion: It doesn’t get heavier than this DESMOND DEVOY Des Says
T
here’s never a happy reason to have an abortion. With chemo-therapy for cancer, by contrast, there’s the hope that the treatment will send one’s cancer into remission. There is hope. With abortion, something is ending, and the reason is almost never a happy one. Hospitals will thank the community for their donations to erect a new oncology department, while businesses and philanthropists line up to have hospital wings named in their honour. We are unlikely to see a billboard in front of the hospital heralding the opening of the expanded abortion unit. But the abortion debate was front and centre this week, whether we wanted to see it or not. A group calling itself “Show the Truth,” set up protests in Carleton Place, Almonte and Smiths Falls last week, where they showed off graphic images of aborted fetuses. People driving home from work in Ottawa along Highway 7 were met with the disturbing images last Thursday, while people walking down Mill Street in Almonte turned a corner and came face to face with the explicit images. This shock-and-awe strategy does little to win hearts and minds. Instead, it stiffens people’s already entrenched opinions and makes any hopes of coherent, civil debate evaporate under the glare. It comes as a surprise to many people to discover that Canada does not actually have an abortion law. The Mulroney government passed a new law on abortion in 1989, following a free vote. The law then died in the Senate and there has been no appetite to revisit the issue. While the 1969 Criminal Code section dealing with abortion was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1988, nothing has been put in place to replace it. Here is where the Harper government, with its majority in both houses, can see beyond its usual partisan nature, and show some political maturity and leadership, and protect in law that which Canadians have already come to expect – that if someone does need an abortion, it should be carried out no later than the second trimester, and if an abortion is required later than that, that it be done for what the CMA calls “exceptional circumstances.” Remember, no law means no legal protection for a right many Canadian women believe in.

Are we broke yet? To the Editor: On July 20, the Town Council of Carleton Place approved a removal of $450,000 from the Hydro Reserve to pay for bills not covered by revenue or budgeted for in the first six months of this year. Some of this money may be eventually recovered if land is sold off Hooper Street, but most of the funds went to design work on McNeely, Doyle and Bates properties. While there is still some of the original $5M in the Hydro reserve, removal of money from this rapidly shrinking fund does three things: 1 - reduces the diminishing Hydro Reserve; 2 - pays bills for work that was not budgeted for this year; and
3 - does not increase the tax rate. This is for the first six months of our new council. We wait for the financial results of the second six months of this year. On another subject - The forthcoming condo development on the island between the two back bridges. I cannot imagine residents of these high end condos waiting in long lines, which are there even now, in order to get off the island. There is a nice spot for a second bridge over part of the Mississippi at the end of Princess Street. However, this will require extensive road widening to get onto the now heavily used Princess Street. See QUESTIONS, page 9

When it comes to polite dinner party conversation, topics like abortion, politics and religion should be steered clear of. And yet, we here at the Canadian Gazette, have had to jump in feet first to all three. First, we had our unintentionally religionthemed issue a few weeks ago, followed by today’s feature on abortion. And we have a provincial election coming up in just a few short weeks. Huzzah! Yes, no shortage of controversy here. Next week, I’ll be going out of my way to find some nice quiet stories about a flower show or to do a feature on some old timer who enjoys whittlin’. We hope our front page this week about lottery winners, a prize winning book store and the new Habitat for Humanity houses in Carleton Place, will balance things nicely. Working on the abortion story this week – trying to make sure that every possible angle is covered – reminded me of my Grade 11 religion class at my Catholic high school. We had to watch a really graphic documentary, The Silent Scream, which we had the option of not watching. It was about what happens during an abortion – from a pro-life perspective, of course. It did make my stomach turn, but at least we were warned beforehand and an ex-abortion doctor provided the commentary. Even in such a pro-life environment though, some teachers had had enough of the issue. “You can do any monologue you like, but please, spare me any more monologues about babies being aborted,” I remember one exasperated drama teacher telling my class. At the Carleton Place abortion protest, I met a man from Scotland. We had a quick chat, but as I walked away, he called out over the din of traffic. “Are ‘ye pro-life?” he called. I held up my pen and my notebook into the overcast sky. “When I’m on the job, I can’t say,” I replied.

Questions over town finances Continued from page 8 Access to Mill Street is hit-and-miss at the best of times and council’s nonnegotiations with the CPR on the tunnel at the end of Mill Street probably means that this tunnel, with its severe road restrictions, will be in place for years to come.
“Who will finance and build the new bridge...and who will finance the rebuilding of Princess Street? ” Doug Smith The question comes to mind - who will finance and build the new bridge with all its abatements and access roads, and who will finance the rebuilding of Princess Street. Also, the Town leased some land along the river in this area when they bought the vacant parking lot at the end of Princess Street (budgeted price of $350,000). We will loose the lovely area at the end of Princess Street - or will we? Doug Smith Carleton Place

Train In The Distance: At right, a Canadian Pacific Rail train makes its way in over the crossing at Moore Street in Carleton Place on the morning of Thursday, Aug. 11. It was an unusual sight to see a train on the rails running through town again after many months without any rail service. CP Rail is currently in the process of pulling up the miles of tracks in the Renfrew area between Mattawa and Smiths Falls. Above, the train makes its way between Lake Avenue East and Moore Street.
Track uprooting decision makes no sense To the Editor: The comments by Canadian Pacific Rail spokesperson Ed Greenberg do not make a lot of sense (“CP Rail begins to pull up its railway tracks,” Canadian Gazette, Aug. 4). If the decision is one of economics, why is CP Rail only pulling up the 25 miles of track between Renfrew and Pembroke, and leaving 160 miles of track to be salvaged at a later date? Also note that Rail America ended its lease through negotiations with CP Rail who had just taken back 85 per cent of the business from the line that they had just leased to Rail America.
No wonder they wanted out! Again, why were 70 to 80 car double stacks no longer economical even though they were saving hundreds of miles versus shipping via Toronto? Remember this line is (was) the original Trans-Canada rail line – yes the very first – completed by Sir William Van Horne. It should be saved for historical reasons if for no other reason.

This ad is generously underwritten by the
County Ambulance Service. An old adage states that “administration is only boring when it’s done right” and at AGH (at least administratively) we aim to be as boring as possible. Consider the types of activities that make up what is often referred to as the “back-office”. On behalf of AGH/FVM/LCAS we issue 5,000 cheques each year to suppliers, many of which are local. Many of our suppliers have service agreements, which are accessed through the 800 purchase orders and contracts issued every year. For our 428 employees, we annually pay in excess of $18 million in wages and benefits through more than 11,000 individual payments. We expect 20,000 patients to visit our emergency department and clinics every year and we expect that patients will spend 14,000 days admitted to the hospital. Each of those patients requires
a medical history to be created and maintained as well as the admission and separation information. The Hospital IT infrastructure includes a newly upgraded phone system, 200 computer workstations and servers and miles of cabling all of which require regular maintenance. Collectively, the staff who work in the Finance, Human Resources, Health Records, Occupational Health, IT and Administrative departments make sure that front-line care and support services have the people, supplies, equipment and technology necessary to look after our patients and residents. They are vital members of the patient and resident care team. Without them, our organization would not be able to function.

Legion thanks town for support for veterans, dismay at low attendance To the Editor: As chairman of the Afghanistan Veterans Appreciation Day in Carleton Place, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in our event on Aug. 14 to welcome home our troops from Afghanistan. It was a very special day for the town of Carleton Place. A special thanks to all who donated time, equipment, materials, et cetera, to make it the special day that it was. However, I must also vent my disappointment at the majority of the citizens of Carleton Place who did not attend this event. And no one can say that they did not know about this event taking place as it was extremely well advertised. The town of Carleton Place is steeped in military history. As such, the citizens of our community should be supporting our military and showing their appreciation for what our men and women in uniform are doing for us in protecting our freedoms and democracy through their deployment in various parts of the world. They are there representing our country and assisting these under-privileged countries in an attempt to give them a better way of life. Our military involvement in Afghanistan has been no different, other than the fact that our men and women who were deployed in Afghanistan were at war, a war against terrorism, where we lost 157 of our finest, along with four civilians. But our involvement in this combat mission ended on July 7, and our troops returned home. And as an initiative of
the Royal Canadian Legion, communities across Canada were encouraged to hold special events to show their appreciation to these new veterans and welcome them back home. Our local branch 192 of the Royal Canadian Legion, along with members of Carleton Place town council, answered the call to hold such a special day. In fact, we were one of the first communities in Canada to hold such an event. We had a tremendous ceremony at the cenotaph, town hall and at the Legion branch. We had a great parade and everyone who participated is to be congratulated for a job well done. However, the turnout of citizens at all of our ceremonies and parade was, to say the least, discouraging. It was made very apparent though that the majority of our citizens in the town of Carleton Place do not appreciate the freedom and democracy that they enjoy today. To those that did come out to show their appreciation, we than you and ask that you continue to show your support towards our men and women in uniform, no matter where they may be deployed. To those who did not attend, hopefully, some day you will come to the realization that the good life that you enjoy today has only been made possible through the efforts of all who have served, or are serving, in our Canadian Armed Forces.
Above, attendees to this past Sunday’s Afghanistan Veterans Appreciation Day ceremony hold a moment of silence. At right, a small, but loyal, crowd gathered on the grass of Memorial Park in Carleton Place, where the cenotaph is located. Photos by Laurie Weir

Police are advising local youth not to jump off highway bridges. On Aug. 3 at about 4 p.m., police stopped at the Highway 17 bridge over the Mississippi River and spoke to
a group of youngsters about the safety risks in jumping off bridges. The youth were spotted leaping into the Mississippi River from the bridge near Hunt Line Road.
Teens fall victim to booze Experimenting with alcohol can be deadly. Police report that emergency services were called to a home in West Carleton at around 1 a.m. last Sunday after receiving a 911 call for intoxicated teenagers in
distress. The 911-caller told the operator that 13- and 14-year-old girls had been secretively drinking vodka throughout the night. They were found unconscious and vomiting and breathing abnormally.
The girls were taken to childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital by ambulance for detoxification and monitoring, police report. Apparently, the girls had been drinking vodka while their parents slept.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Parks were the hot topic at the Aug. 9 recreation and culture meeting for Mississippi Mills town council. Following a presentation on the Augusta Street Park, council turned their attention to vote on the dog park. Iris Boston presented as a delegate and the council meeting prior to the recreation and culture meeting, proposing the town build a fenced-in dog park at Gemmill Park. The committee voted against a motion for the recreation co-ordinator to investigate alternate sites for a dog park, and costing and maintenance recommendations. Mayor John Levi said it is difficult for town staff to undertake another large
CALLING ON DOG OWNERS He said dog owners in favour of the park can work on putting together a proposal with location and requirements, and how it could be funded, and return to council to present it. They could then be a self-administering club. The committee also voted on whether Gemmill Park was the proper location for the park. Councillors supported the 2008 report by staff that determined Gemmill Park was not the best location for a park, and voted against using it. Levi said the park is widely used for many different sports, and is best left as such.

Yokoso, or welcome, to Japanese students DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – While this year’s crop of Japanese exchange students are attending Carleton Place High School (CPHS) for the next few weeks to learn English, they’ll also learn a bit of Ottawa Valley English too, if Ed Sonnenburg has his way. “Do you like English?” asked Sonnenburg, Carleton Place’s deputy mayor, during a welcoming ceremony for Japanese students at Carleton Place High School on Aug. 16. The students, from Ritsumeikan Uji High School in Kyoto, all dutifully replied, “Yes!” “Do you think you’ll be able to understand my Ottawa Valley English?” asked Sonnenburg. “People think that people in the Ottawa Valley speak a different dialect of English.” Sonnenburg welcomed the students to the area, and said that they would always find a friend in his town. “We look forward to seeing you walking around town,” said Sonnenburg. “Don’t worry about getting lost because it only takes 15 minutes to walk
from one side of the town to the other. I’m sure you’ll find someone with a smile on their face who will help you.” He then listed off an extensive list of things to see and do and upcoming events for the students to see with their host families. Sonnenburg admitted he was a little bit envious of the experiences that the young Japanese guests would be enjoying. “I wish I had had a chance at your age to get out and see the world,” said Sonnenburg. “I was 20 before I went to Ottawa and I thought that was a big deal.” Student Haruka Tatsumi spoke on behalf of her classmates. “We would love to learn more and more English while we are here,” said Tatsumi. In October, CPHS student Karen Clark will travel to Japan to visit Ritsumeikan Uji High School, but in the meantime she will act as a teaching assistant with the program here in Carleton Place. “I’m very excited to learn about your culture,” said Photo by Desmond Devoy Clark. “I look forward to making friendships with you all Japanese students pose in front of ‘The Bears Den’ sign which hangs above the front door of Carleton Place over the next two weeks.” High School before their first day of classes on Aug. 16.

Celebrate Ramsay’s 175th birthday at museum exhibit DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – The next time you bite into a Neilson ice cream cone, remember that it had its roots in Ramsay Township. “A lot (of people) know about R. Tait McKenzie and Dr. James Naismith,” said Brian Tackaberry, curator of the North Lanark Regional Museum, 647 River Rd., in Appleton. But did you know that William Neilson, founder of Neilson ice cream and milk company, was also a product of Ramsay breeding? “He was born and raised in Ramsay,” said Tackaberry. “He went to school near Appleton. We don’t push it. They don’t make the connection to this area.” Neilson’s parents were, like many in the area, Scottish immigrants who farmed nearby. “He moved to Toronto and started out selling ice cream from his house,” said Tackaberry. “Coming from a farming background, that makes sense.” That tidbit, and many others like it, are on display at the museum’s new exhibit celebrating 175 years of Ramsay as a political entity. “We have materials going back to 1821,” said Tackaberry of the “Salute to Ramsay” exhibit. Ramsay was named after George Ramsay, Earl of Dalhousie, who was the governorgeneral of Upper Canada in 1819. The area was surveyed by Reuben Sherwood in 1820. Shortly afterwards, European settlement began, mostly families sponsored by the Lanark Societies of Scotland, who first began arriving in 1821. Many were skilled textile tradesmen or veterans of the Napoleonic Wars. A second wave of immigrants from Ireland began arriving around 1823. By 1829, the settlers had set up a school and a library. Several small communities, like Almonte, Appleton, Blakeney and Clayton began springing up, mostly around the mills in the area. The oldest church built by the Scotsmen, the “Auld Kirk,” still survives on the Eighth Line Concession. On Jan. 4, 1836, the first official meeting of Ramsay Township took place in the schoolhouse at Leckie’s Corners, near the Auld Kirk. It speaks to the Canadian immigrant dream that, by the 1840s, Scottish farmers who had grown

Michelle Toshack and Lee Moreau, summer students at the North Lanark Regional Museum, pose with communication tokens from Ramsay churches in front of special 175th anniversary Ramsay displays. The tokens are from St. Andrew’s and the Free Church of Scotland, and date 1837-1851. prosperous in their new homeland were able to set up benevolent associations to send money back to the needy in Scotland. One of the exhibits’ biggest boasts is a register from a store owned by James Wylie, the area’s first postmaster. There are also many photos of old politicians from days gone by, including a look at the life of a man with ambition to burn, Daniel Galbraith, who rose from councillor to deputy reeve, reeve, MPP and then MP. “It was amazing to see him going up the ranks,” said Tackaberry. Another coup in the collection is something Tackaberry can only describe as a “communion token,” for the local Presbyterian church.
“This was the equivalent of a membership card, to show that you were a member in good standing,” said Tackaberry of the coin-shaped token. “It showed that you belonged.” Bibles brought over by families from Scotland and Ireland are part of the display, and so important was “The Good Book” to the settlers that it was even used as a textbook at the local school. Another fact is that Gaelic, along with English, was one of the languages used in the classroom. “I was surprised to read that,” said Tackaberry. “For a time they taught in Gaelic and English. It shows that the Scottish roots are stronger here than we realize.”
Tackaberry noted that since Ramsay township amalgamated with Pakenham and Almonte in the late 1990s, it has become a bit more difficult to keep Ramsay’s individual history alive. In 1979, to celebrate an earlier anniversary, the township published a book Reflections of Ramsay, which contained the names of every councillor, reeve and deputy reeve from 1836 to 1979. Former Reeve Jim Lowry was called upon to update the last from 1979 to the late 1990s for the museum’s exhibit. “When you have amalgamation, you lose a little bit of history,” said Tackaberry. The exhibition opened on Saturday, Aug. 6 and will run daily until Labour Day, Monday, Sept. 5. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thereafter, the museum will be open on weekends until October. For details, call 613-257-8503. “We didn’t have a big launch,” said Tackaberry. “We didn’t want to conflict with anything going on.” But time was of the essence, since Tackaberry not only sits on the board of the North Lanark Historical Society but of the North Lanark Highland Games too, which will take place at the North Lanark Agricultural Fairgrounds, 195 Water St. in Almonte this weekend, Sunday, Aug. 21. He thought it only appropriate to do a bit of cross-promotion, so there will be booths at the games promoting the exhibit and celebrating the township’s 175th birthday. Tackaberry also thought it an opportune time to celebrate Ramsay, since one of its most famous sons, Dr. James Naismith, has been in the news a great deal lately with a new statue dedicated in his honour earlier this summer at Almonte’s Centennial Square.

Rock removal work uproots CP’s Albert Street DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – The ongoing construction work on Beckwith Street has spilled over onto Albert Street, as crews work to remove rock underneath the street that is impeding the construction of new curbs. “There isn’t enough room for the new curbs, without removing the rocks,” explained John Nagle of the Town of Carleton
Place’s public works department on Aug. 11. A portion of Albert Street between Bridge Street and Beckwith Street has blocked off vehicle and pedestrian access from Bridge Street, though there is still limited access from Beckwith Street. It was anticipated that the work should be completed by the middle of this week. Once the crews are finished with one half of the affected section, they will move on to the

second section, allowing traffic in from Bridge Street, but cutting off traffic from Beckwith Street. “Albert Street was always part of the plan, it includes this block,” said Nagle. “Albert Street was definitely on the books. It
was in the contract.” There had been some earlier confusion amongst some residents about the exact parameters of the plan. Some residents had believed that Mill Street would also be dug up, but Nagle explained that it will not be part
of the construction work. A concrete crew will be working on Albert Street after the current work wraps up this week.

Habitat for Humanity accepting Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills applications for homes to be built for eligible families Continued from front Construction for the two houses, sideby-side on Sarah Street, are not scheduled to begin for another year. “There is nothing better than seeing a young family move into a house, because you know the children are going to have a chance to grow up in a safe, affordable house,” Hicks said. All three families could be chosen as soon as the start of September though, pending the strength and approval of applications, she said. The first meeting of potential families was held Monday evening at Zion Memorial Church in Carleton Place at 7:30 p.m. For those who were unable to attend the meeting, applications are still possible. Anyone who wishes to apply can call Scott Stiller at 613-749-9950, extension 225, and then fill out all appropriate application forms. The completed forms are due at 3 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 29. Families must meet a basic criteria to receive the house, which includes being in the low income cut-off range, and being a family in need. In need can include a variety of things, ranging from unaffordable rent to excessive repairs in their current habitation. The application form will require pay stubs, proof of citizenship, tax documents, household budget and letters of reference, which Stiller can assist with, if help is needed putting the application
together. Families have to commit 500 hours of sweat equity to receive the house. Sweat equity will have to work differently in Carleton Place than in Ottawa, because typical outlets – working at trade fairs with Habitat for Humanity and assisting with other builds, aren’t accessible. “It will be a little different in Carleton Place,” Hicks said. “We are going to find some seniors who need things done with the church to oversee … we’ll have to be creative.” Families are also responsible for interest-free mortgage payments, which cost 30 per cent of their net income. The monthly payment includes the mortgage, tax payments and insurance, but excludes utilities. Part of the reason to choose all three families now, if possible, is because the two families, who will receive houses in the future, can complete sweat equity hours on the first home being built. Hicks said that so far the community and several churches, such as Zion Memorial Church, have already been very supportive of the builds. But, they are still seeking all sorts of financial, material and service – and edible – donations in order to complete the houses and feed the volunteers. Organizers are looking for skilled and unskilled volunteers, aged 18 – or 16 with

Habitat for Humanity is also looking for donations of building materials and other professional building services and restaurants to feed volunteers Friday lunch. Habitat for Humanity is a registered
charity, and can be contacted at 613-7499950 to donate. “Normally, it’s been my experience from other charitable work, you’ll find that the entire community will come together behind a project,” Hicks said. “And that has been the case in Carleton Place. We’ve been so warmly welcomed.” 477042

Increasing the local Health Unit is offering community rabies vaccination clinics on Sept. 14 and 21. Among the locations for the clinics, which will run from 2 to 6 p.m., are Almonte Veterinary Services, Carleton Place Veterinary Hospital, Valley Veterinary Clinic and Mississippi Veterinary Services. The cost is $20 per animal. The goal of the clinics is to help provide rabies vaccinations to as many cats and dogs as possible. Under the law, dogs and cats must be vaccinated against rabies. In addition, hunters preparing for the hunting season are reminded to get their dogs vaccinated against rabies. While running in the bush, hunting dogs have the potential of interacting with wildlife that may have rabies. To help protect some wild animals against rabies, the Ministry of Natural Resources has released bait in certain areas in August. It is important pet cats or dogs remain up-to-date with vaccina-
Beware mumps, measles Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief Medical Officer of Health is advising Ontarians that mumps and measles are circulating in the province. In order to be fully protected, Ontarians should receive two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine. The MMR vaccine is part of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publicly funded vaccine program and it is free of charge to all Ontarians. Measles symptoms include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes. It can also cause middle ear infection, pneumonia, inflammation of the brain, hearing loss, brain damage, and in severe cases, death. Mumps symptoms include fever, headache, painful swelling of the glands in the mouth and neck, and earache. It can also cause temporary or permanent hearing loss as well as swelling of the ovaries in women and testes in men, possibly leading to sterility. Two doses of MMR vaccine are recommended for the best protection. Those who have not received any or only one dose of MMR vaccine should contact their health care provider. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has recently advised the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public health units to be on the alert for mumps and measles cases as well as making sure Ontarians receive the MMR vaccine free of charge.

Stay-at-home mom to be Green candidate in fall vote DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ASHTON – A stay-at-home mother is to be the Green Party’s candidate in Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington in this October’s provincial election. Nancy Matte was nominated as the party’s candidate during a meeting in Lanark in July, but she is gearing up for a run for a seat in Queen’s Park – once her four-year-old daughter Sabrina begins school next month. “I wanted to make a difference,” said Matte of her decision to run. “I thought I could give it a try … It’s time to give back. It’s time to give more to the community.” She jokes that she was the only candidate to put her name forward for the Green nomination. So “I won against ‘None of the Above’,” she said with a laugh. But she added that several former Green candidates have signed on as volunteers on her campaign. “It’s good to have that experience behind me,” the novice candidate said. Matte, who has called Beckwith Township home since 2008, feels that the Green party is in keeping with her family’s ecologically-minded philosophy. “My husband and I have been supportive of environmental issues and we’ve always lived a green lifestyle,” Matte said. For example, she would always send her daughters Samantha, 14, and Cassandra, 12, to school with lunches that required no packaging. Matte has been a volunteer at the Beckwith play group, acted
as a Tim Bits soccer coach, and volunteered at the Beckwith Public School library. Even for school activities, though, she still advocated for healthy living. When fellow volunteers suggested selling chocolate bars to raise funds for the school, Matte balked. “No, let’s sell apples instead,” she said to what she admitted were quizzical looks from her fellow parents. “We’re trying to encourage kids to move and eat healthy,” explained Matte. “We’re sending the wrong message.” Matte is a graduate of the University of Ottawa where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences, with concentrations in sociology, public policy and public administration. Now that she is entering politics, she will be walking the green walk, or driving rather, in a Prius, and she has already staked out what she believes to be the top issues in the riding. “We have to support local food and local farmers,” said Matte, who added that healthy eating would help ease the burden on the health care system. “If people are healthy and people feel listened too, we can only do great things,” said Matte. “Health care costs are going up, and if they keep going up, we won’t be able to afford them.” This past spring, federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May become the first member of her party to be elected to the House of Commons, something Matte thinks will help the Ontario Greens elect their first MPP to Queen’s Park in Toronto.
Voting period extended for provincial fall election For Ontario’s 40th provincial general election Oct. 6, Elections Ontario is providing Ontarians with an unprecedented number of days to vote and a number of new ways to cast their ballot. Voters will now have 29 days to vote, a voting window longer than any previous Ontario general election. This will include 10 days of advance poll voting, but also 28 days of voting through special ballots. This enables voters to send in their ballots by mail for
the very first time. Voters will be able to vote on Election Day, at an advance poll or by special ballot. This means that even if people are unable to go to the polls Oct. 6, they can vote for the candidate of their choice at their convenience. More information on the changes to Ontario voting options and how to vote at an advance poll or by special ballot is available at wemakevotingeasy. ca.

“I think it adds a lot if not in credibility, but in spirit,” said Matte of May’s presence in the House. “Seeing what she has done and can do is inspiring.”
Matte will be going up against incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP Randy Hillier, who has represented the riding since 2007.
“I’ll be able to encourage people who haven’t been voting … to see that, yes, I do care,” said Matte. “I can turn the caring up, and turn down the apathy.”

Debbie Payne works on one of the last shoes left at Munro’s Shoe Repair in Carleton Place. The shop, owned by Payne and husband Garry Munro, went out of business on Aug. 8, citing box stores as one of the reasons that business has declined over the past
Munro’s Shoe Repair closing up shop Owner cites box stores for lack of business BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – If a good customer was unable to drive their shoes in to Garry Munro to have them fixed, he would drive out, pick up the shoes, and then drop them off when the repair was done. “I wouldn’t make any money off them, but they’d been good customers for years,” he said. Now, after opening in 1994, Munro’s Shoe Repair, owned by Munro and wife Debbie Payne, has closed. Munro blames big box stores for turning footwear into a disposable item, to be replaced, rather than fixed, when in need of repair. Business started to decline over the past several years, to the point where it just wasn’t enough to be feasible. Now the hundreds of different pieces and yards of elastic used to repair shoes and leather goods will have to find a new home. “We’re selling everything off,” he said. “But I’d like to donate the machinery to help train someone else.” There’s a special place in his heart for his equipment, much of which originally belonged to his grandfather. After several pieces had been sold off, he tracked down all the original pieces, and bought
them back from the new owners, to bring them back into the family. That’s part of the reason he’d like to see the entire set stay together. He’s upgraded certain parts as technology has evolved, but would like to see the classic set passed on to a new set of hands. Because all of the equipment and supplies are filling what Munro and Payne hope to turn into their future living room, he has a time frame, but said he would be willing to donate the machinery if it can be used to train someone. Everything else will be for sale from Aug. 22 to 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the store, at 103 Moore St. in Carleton Place. Cleaning out the shop will be sad for the pair, who both said they didn’t want to close, but “it was costing us money to stay open.” Payne had taken on much of the shoe repair work after Munro suffered a heart attack last year on Mother’s Day, but they were both still very involved in the business, located in half of their home.Munro is going to take the shop closing as his first step into retirement, but Payne will continue to work. She said she isn’t sure where, but is too young to retire. “I have a lot of good customers who would visit, come and sit and have a cup of coffee while they’re here,” Munro said. “I’m going to lose all that, that’s the hardest part.”

Moments after the beginning of Carleton Place’s inaugural autism walk at 9:15 Sunday, one young enthusiastic participant (right) power-walks to the front, proudly wearing his ‘Walk for Autism Shirt’.
CARLETON PLACE- Lanark County’s first Walk for Autism took place Sunday morning at the Carleton Place High School athletic track on Mississippi Road. After the participants registered, they walked the scheduled 2.5 times around the track, amounting to one kilometre. One of the committee members, Heather Ballanger, said there has never been a walk for Autism anywhere in the local area. Many times in the past there has been walking/running events held at the same place for cancer and heart disease. “It’s the first in Lanark County,” said Ballanger, smiling ear to ear. Beckwith resident Amy Booth is the president of the committee that co-ordinated the event. Although pleased with the outcome of this year’s event, Booth noted there were a few things that the committee would do differently next time. “I’d love to do it again next year,” she said, “Next time it will be a little later in the day.” Booth mentioned that the likeliness of people participating would probably increase if the event did not take place early Sunday morning. Lanark County OPP and Fire Department members were present at the event, as well as several food vendors set up under tents. Perth resident and MPP Randy Hillier was also present at the event.

The day the abortion protesters came to town desmond.devoy@metroland.com
If protesters holding up graphic images of aborted fetuses along Highway 7 wanted to provoke a strong reaction in people, they certainly got it last week. A pro-life group calling itself the ‘Show the Truth’ campaign lined up along the road as commuters from Ottawa returned home on the evening of Aug. 11. One woman was so incensed that she took matters in to her own hands to block the offending images at the intersection with McNeely Avenue. “This is disgusting!” exclaimed the woman behind the wheel of a silver minivan, that she had pulled over to the side of the road at the southwest corner. “I think that this is totally inappropriate … I’m a practicing Roman Catholic. I don’t say abortion is wrong.” “You cannot be Catholic and pro-life,” retorted Rosemary Connell, the co-ordinator for the campaign, which held two protests in Carleton Place, on Aug. 9 and 11, and in Almonte and Smiths Falls on Aug. 9. “Why don’t you stop and have a rational discussion?” Connell said, inviting the woman to debate things further at a nearby parking lot. The woman said that she was already late to look after a sick relative in hospital, and sped away. Connell, a teacher based in Lindsay, Ont., said that her group had been invit-
ed to the Ottawa Valley by pro-life campaigners. However, some pro-life groups, like the Carleton Place chapter of the Knights of Columbus, said that they were surprised to see the protesters in town, and only learned of their arrival in the media. As a teacher, Connell said that “I know there is a power to visuals. Repeated visuals are vitally important. I think that people’s reactions show that importance of visuals.” Connell also contended that there are no legal protections for fetuses. “It is not illegal to do it up until birth,” said Connell. People in Almonte were also upset with the arrival of the abortion protesters. Cindy Halcrow, the Town of Mississippi Mills’ outgoing town clerk, said that the municipal offices received about 10 calls of complaint and query when the protesters set up at the intersection of Bridge and Mill Streets on Aug. 9. “A lot of them (the calls) were from businesses along Mill Street saying they were concerned with the graphic nature of the posters,” said Halcrow. “We were getting all of these complaints and we wanted to go down and see what was going on … It’s seems like they came out of the blue.” So Halcrow and Mayor John Levi made their way downtown to survey the situation shortly after noon. “It was a peaceable gathering,” said

Many downtown Almonte businesses were not pleased with the graphic nature of the images the protesters were showing, and that they had taken their protest to a small community in the Ottawa Valley. “I was surprised. You expect to see that in a big city, not a small town,” said Sue Williams, who works at the Keepsakes store, where the protesters were set up in front. “A lot of customers were less than pleased.” Williams added though that she does not believe that she lost any business as a result of the protest. “I think it’s disgusting,” Williams said. “There are better places, I’m sure, that they could have been.” Bev and Kevin Burke, who run the French fry truck kitty-corner Photo by Desmond Devoy from Keepsakes, also noted they were not impressed with the graph- Anti-abortion protesters hold up graphic images ic images. along Highway 7 in Carleton Place on August 11.

school biology class. “That was graphic,” he said of the photos. “That really turned me off of smoking. It’s a concept that has some validity.” Amber McCart, acting executive director of Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth in Carleton Place, however, felt that children would be affected by such graphic images. “Parents for or against abortion do not welcome people imposing violent images on their children,” said McCart. If a child’s parent is worked up over seeing images like the ones shown on Carleton Place and Almonte’s streets, a child would be “at serious risk of having those images creating a traumatic effect … they cannot sort out what they’ve seen,” said McCart. “It would be wrong to say that kids aren’t affected by those images,” added McCart. “There used to be a belief that kids were a blank slate until the age of six. That isn’t the case.” Open Doors offers counselling not only to families and youngsters, but also to teenagers as well, some of whom may be faced with an unexpected pregnancy. “I don’t believe, in my career, I’ve met anyone who has made the decision to engage in an abortion without a lot of pain,” said McCart, who noted that she has never seen anyone take the decision to have an abortion lightly. “This is a decision that people should make privately,” she said, on a personal level.

Continued from Page 28 When asked about how disturbing the images were, Connell admitted that “I think that they are upsetting too.” “I thought it was a silly thing to be protesting here. We don’t have an abortion clinic,” added Kevin. Amongst the area’s two medical facilities, only one offers abortion services. Chantelle Troy, manager and community relations officer for the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital Foundation confirmed her hospital does not perform abortions, while Mary Tilson Trider, president and chief executive officer of the Almonte General Hospital, confirmed her facility does provide abortions. “We only do first trimester (abortions),” Trider said. “The hospital itself wouldn’t refer a patient (for an abortion). That would take place in a physician’s office.” Trider added she is not aware of the exact number of abortions performed at the Almonte hospital but noted “I don’t believe it’s very many.” During the downtown Almonte protest, a young teenage girl set up right beside the anti-abortion protesters and unfurled her own pro-choice sign. “She was saying that she was prochoice,” said Halcrow. “What I observed was that nobody was giving her a hard time.” Connell commended the teenager’s stance. “I admired that little girl,” said Connell. “”She discussed. She debated. She brought a nursing text book with her. I admired her.” Opinions about the abortion protester’s use of graphic images was decidedly mixed. “My wife herself disagreed with that approach. She wouldn’t want a youngster to see that,” said John Kordos, the Grand Knight of the pro-life Dr. J.F. Dunn Council 5153 of the Carleton Place Knights of Columbus. “(But) I understand why they did that. It’s a graphic way of making people see what is happening. It’s not a theoretical thing. It’s real.” Kordos compared the posters to pictures of smokers’ cancer-ridden lungs shown to him in his high

relationships, and provides them with counselling that can include family planning. “We don’t want to silence people,” said Erin Lee-Todd, Interval House’s executive director. “(But) we should be able to hear all of them and hear all of them respectfully.” Lee-Todd noted that Interval House holds commemoration for the women killed during the Montreal Massacre on the anniversary, Dec. 6 every year, and that while honouring the women’s memory, they also do not set out to be provocative. “We don’t have images of murdered women,” Lee-Todd said. “We invite people to participate … I think that anyone who is organizing that kind of protest has to be mindful of the impacts it can have.” Lee-Todd noted her organization placed an emphasis on helping women and their children. “We are a pro-choice agency, who believes in a woman’s rights to up-to-date, accurate information,” said Lee-Todd. While Interval House does not take a moral position either way, “whatever informed choice they (the woman) makes, we will support them.” According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, there were 44,416 abortions in Canada in 2008. In Ontario that year, there were 14,502 induced abortions in hospitals, and 17,664 induced abortions performed in clinics. Statistics Canada reported that 96,815 induced abortions were performed in Canada in 2005, down from 100,039 in 2004.
In January 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down Section 251 of the Criminal Code of Canada, the 1969 law which regulated abortion procedures. The Canadian Medical Association (CMA), in a December 1988 policy statement, said that “the CMA’s position is that there is no need for this section to be replaced.” See ‘NO LAW’ Page 30

British home children’s memorial quilt on display at Textile Museum Aug. 25 Two home children’s descendents to speak at a night of stories DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – They escaped the horror of the London Blitz and Hitler’s bombs on the English countryside for the safe shores of Canada. Now, the “British Home Children,” who were packed off from their British homes for the unknown shores of Canada, are being remembered with a special evening of commemoration at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, 3 Rosamond St. East. The display “Remembering the British Home Children in Canada,” will have a special evening unveiling at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25. A special commemorative “Memorial Quilt,” prepared to commemorate the British Home Children in Canada, and quilted by Carol Cunningham of Beamsville, Ont., will be on display. “It’s a touring exhibit and it’s been travelling Ontario,” said Michael Rikley-Lancaster, the museum’s curator. One of Rikley-Lancaster’s volunteers found out about the quilt’s tour and added his museum to the itinerary. He added with a laugh that accommodating the quilt’s tour was quite easy, since it gets sent to its next stop via a couriered box. Perth writer Mary Thurston, author of the book Into the Hills, and the daughter of Home Child Isabella Hilson, who is featured on the quilt, will deliver a personal account of her mother’s memories. Bob Stacey of
No law for abortion in Canada Continued from Page 29 The Mulroney government passed a new abortion law in the late 1980s on a free vote by a margin of 140 to 131, but the law was then defeated in the Senate, and no attempts have been made to bring in an abortion law since then. According to Maclean’s magazine, about 90 per cent of abortions take place in the first 12 weeks from conception. About 99 per cent of abortions take place in the first 20 weeks from conception. The CMA’s policy statement stated that “since the risks of complications of induced abortion are lowest in early pregnancy, early diagnosis of pregnancy and termination of appropriate management should be encouraged … Elective termination of pregnancy after fetal viability may be indicated under exceptional circumstances.”
Carleton Place will also talk about his own memories of his own father, also a Home Child. Rikley-Lancaster was glad to be able to get Thurston to appear. “We’ve been carrying some of her stuff in our gift shop,” said RikleyLancaster, whose own grandfather came from England, albeit before the war. The exhibit will also feature some documents from that era, and there may be some other surprise out-oftown guests for the evening. “We’ve had quite a bit of interest from (Home Child) groups in Ottawa,” said Rikley-Lancaster. “There will be a lot of stories being shared, I am sure.” In December of 2009, the Canadian Parliament passed a motion declaring 2010 to be the Year of the British Home Child in Canada, in the hopes of educating Canadians about this part of our Second World War history. Rikley-Lancaster admitted that while he had heard some aspects of the Home Child story, it is still somewhat of an enigma of a story to him. “I’ve heard little tidbits about it … but I’m learning a lot as I go,” he said. The quilt will be on display at the museum’s Norah Rosamond Hughes Gallery until Wednesday, Aug. 31. Refreshments will be served on Aug. 27. There is no admission charge but a goodwill donation would be warmly appreciated.

ROCK OF AGES Ben Webb, of Carleton Place, right, is one of the five Algonquin College (Perth campus) masonry students who are completing stone work at the Mississippi Valley Textile Musuem in Almonte. The students attended with teacher Darrin MacDonald for the sixth year, and complete the process from start to finish, carving and replacing the new stones. Webb said he has ideas for Carleton Place stonework, including renovations on the cenotaph in town. The students are in their third and final semester of the program, and will also complete work on the 1840s-built Matheson House in Perth.

Mississippi Mills will soon see a new face at town hall BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – There will be a new face at Mississippi Mills council meetings soon – but there won’t be an election. The town will hire a new town clerk to replace Cindy Halcrow, who has been hired as the clerk administrator, a position that’s a step up, in North Elmsley. Halcrow has been the town clerk for 10 years, working alongside a variety of different councillors and mayors, and is often the source of answers to questions at council and committee meetings. The switch will happen at the start of

September, when Halcrow departs and her incumbent begins. The town clerk is responsible for preparing agendas, resolutions, bylaws and minutes at council meetings and administering the town’s emergency management programs and is the lottery licensing officer and division registrar. Interested candidates to replace Halcrow were invited to apply, and a new town clerk will be in place soon. Council thanked Halcrow for her service at her last meeting this week. Councillors said she would be greatly missed by both themselves and the town’s residents, and wished her luck in her new job.

Olde Thyme Fair ready for end-of-summer fun DESMOND DEVOY

CARLETON PLACE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Neither puppets, nor construction nor competing dances shall stop this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Thyme Fair from being a success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a nice turnout (last year), but it really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much,â&#x20AC;? admitted Linda Gibson, organizer for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We attempted to have a dinner and a dance afterwards. But there were two other dances (going on) and Puppets Up! was that day. We thought we would try it on the 27th of August (this year),â&#x20AC;? to place it within the summer season, but far removed from the Puppets Up! festival in Almonte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took on too much,â&#x20AC;? she said of the Fundraising and Community Events for Zion-Memorial United Church committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambitions. The Old Thyme Fair will take place Saturday, Aug. 27, on the grounds of ZionMemorial United Church, 37 Franklin St., Carleton Place, and across the road in Memorial Park, behind the Carleton Place Public Library. Admission is free and the fair runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. One thing that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair will have to contend with that the inaugural 2010 fair did not is the reconstruction on Beckwith Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (construction workers) usually dampen the road at the end of the day on Friday night,â&#x20AC;? said Gibson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t A

The Young Seniors, made up of Ian Guenette and Jessie Gibson, will be performing throughout the day in Memorial Park, whenever they are not attending the gospel concert across the road. Gibson is asking members of the public to dress up in period 1920s, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40s costumes to add a nostalgic feel to the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can find the attire, please fee free to wear it,â&#x20AC;? said Gibson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still looking for an outfit that fits the bill,â&#x20AC;? for tent set-up and food preparation that is in

Montague Township farming tools museum set to open this week

Many people say their hobbies are labours of love, but few can say their hobbies are a love of labour. Montague Township Reeve Bill Dobson is one of those people. Today (Thursday) at 10 a.m., he was scheduled to open a farming tools antique museum on his family farm located at 1105 Matheson Rd. in Montague Township. Collecting antiques isn’t something new to Dobson; he has been collecting them for more than 40 years. He still remembers how his interest was sparked all those years ago, shortly after he arrived in Montague Township – at 21 years of age – to work as a special education teacher at the Rideau Regional Centre. “I bought a round table for $1 at the Salvation Army,” he said. “I used it for three years then someone came along and offered me $75 for it. I thought, ‘this seems like an interesting way to earn a living’. “Here I am 40 years later, still doing it.” He said there was big media hype in 1967 about Canadians losing their ‘material heritage’ to collectors in the United States. He said it sparked a growing interest in antique collections among many Canadians. “An awful lot of people my age became interested in antiques,” he said. In 1969, Dobson purchased a license and began collecting and dealing antiques. He was 23 years old. He opened his first antique shop in 1970 in a small, log building near Stittsville off Highway 7. He ran his store year-round every Sunday for six years. In the 1970s, he was selling antiques at 40 different shows through Ontario and Quebec. “In the ’70s I would have had over 500 chairs in my barn at one time,” he said. Over his time buying and selling antiques, Dobson would sometimes stumble upon old toolboxes, which he said he could usually purchase for a good deal. He would take all the pieces that interested him and sell the rest. He said in the late ’70s, he some-
times sold upwards of 1,000 tools at a single auction on his farm. During that time he said he would separate his tools in three categories: good, better and best and would keep all the best ones for an idea that had been kicking around, to one day open an antique farming tools museum. His business hit a snag when 19 of 20 of the Quebec-based shows cancelled in a 18month period from 1980-81, he said. In 1985, Dobson decided to make his first attempt at opening a museum during the summer months. It didn’t go quite as well as he had anticipated. “Sixty people came the first day,” he said. “Then 60 people for next two years.” Dobson closed the museum’s doors afPhoto by Andrew Snook ter the second summer.

Amputee shows the possibilities BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Anne Fergusson plays basketball, volleyball, badminton, soccer and participates in cross country and track at Carleton Place High School. When she isn’t busy playing sports, she can be found practising her violin, an intricate instrument. Those who have seen her play may be surprised to realize that the 15-year-old wears a prosthetic hand. Fergusson, born without her left hand, now has a few to spare – one aesthetic left hand that looks real, one for violin, and one “multi-sport” hand. “I’m sure some people did,” she said, when asked if anyone had ever doubted her abilities to be this active. “But most of my family and friends have supported me and thought I could do anything. I’ve never seen it as an obstacle.” She was able to pass on her years of accomplishments and strategies– such as how to using the prosthetic to tie her hair in a ponytail to play sports – to other amputees after the War Amps annual Ontario Child Amputee Seminar (CHAMP). “Meeting others with exactly the same concerns, and seeing how they have overcome them, has a profound effect on how they regard their amputation,” said CHAMP director Lucie Waddell in a release about the seminar. Fergusson volunteered as a junior counsellor, after having a great experience attending the sessions with her parents as a camper. “It was a lot different because you got to know the younger ones, and you realized that they were going through some of the same stuff,” she said. “The parents get a whole bunch out of it too – just to see extremely successful, extremely active champs, it makes them believe their kid can do anything.” Anne first got involved after being part of a program that matches mothers up with mothers of children with similar amputations. The match mother recommended the seminars, where amputees get to meet each other, but also break into specific groups for people with very similar amputations. “They have all been really helpful because they’ve been there … and that’s what made me want to go back,” she said. The program also helps with prosthetic and scholarship funds for post-secondary education for amputees. Fergusson has also been involved in the War Amps Operation Legacy program for about five years. War Amps was originally founded for amputees who had served in the military, so representatives, such as Fergusson, are ambassadors

Anne Fergusson, a 15-year-old from Carleton Place, was a CHAMP leader at a recent War Amps seminar. The CPHS student is very active in sports and music, and was able to pass on her accomplishments to younger amputees. to pass on the heritage message. “Champs like me go to ceremonies and remember day presentations as a way of passing on the message when the vets no longer can,” she said. No matter what the focus or position at a CHAMP seminar, the weekend is “really packed.” Even during meals, amputees can learn different strategies, “living aid,” for their day-to-day lives, from their new friends. “It can be as simple as tying your shoes, or putting your hair in a ponytail – which was really helpful for me, that took a while,” she said. They can also trade stories, such as travelling with extra prosthetics, which Fergusson said can make for an interesting surprise in luggage for customs. “The one that looks real causes some pretty funny happenings,” she admitted. The Ottawa seminar took place at a hotel, which made for quite the sight for passersby, who weren’t expecting to see the group of active, lively youth wearing prosthetics. “We definitely get some pretty surprised (looks) when we’re all together,” she said. “Then the other people feel left out and awkward.”
Teammates pose during the Not-2-Bawd volleyball tournament in Carleton Place on July 23. The volleyball tournament was a fundraiser for the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital.

Arnprior Pride expands throughout the Valley BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
Girls basketball is growing in the Upper Ottawa Valley, and a girls team is changing its name to reflect its wider focus. “It’s been small – but it’s grown,” said bantam coach Jeff Heath. “We want to expand more, and we’ve expanded our name to show that.” The girls basketball program based in Arnprior, called the Arnprior Pride, will play under a new name this year. Players will take to the court for the Valley Pride. The team is expanding to officially include players and practice sites in Almonte and Renfrew. “There aren’t any teams for the Almonte girls and there are none in Renfrew,” Heath said. The Arnprior program has been running under the name since it started, said Heath, with under-14 bantam division and under-16 midget divisions. This year, the program will include an under-12 atom division to encompass younger players. The atom program will have two teams – recreational, and competitive. “There hasn’t been anything for the girls to do in the small towns; it’s hockey hockey hockey, and this gives them an alternative,” he said. “For a little club, we’ve done really well over the last few years and won medals at the Ontario championships.” The practice sites and schedules are slightly different for each division. The youngest group, the atoms, will practice in Arnprior once a week.
Bantam girls will practice twice a week in Renfrew and Arnprior, and the oldest midget girls will play twice a week in Almonte and Arnprior. The atom and bantam schedules start in midSeptember and run through the winter, while the midget schedule complements the high school basketball season by starting in mid-November, as the secondary circuit ends. Players from all areas are being encouraged to try out for the teams, which carry about 12 players each. “Parents are great at carpooling,” Heath said, “Both to practices and games.” The teams play in a 14-game league throughout the Ottawa region, with about three local tournaments, and one away tournament. Last year, the Pride girls travelled to Hamilton and Potsdam to take on GTA and American opponents.

Carleton Place man takes over as coach in Perth ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@metroland.com
Hamish Fraser makes no bones about it. His aim this year as the new head coach and general manager of the Perth Junior B Blue Wings is reconnecting ties with the community – businesses, fans and players. “We need to make this a truly community team,” he said. Fraser, who lives with his young family in Carleton Place, brings with him assistant coach and assistant general manager Jamie Rintoul, assistant coach Brodie Hurdis, and trainer Neil Watson. He has coached numerous levels of hockey with the Mississippi Thunder Kings organization. In addition, he scouted for the Carleton Place Canadians Junior A team in its first year. “I’ve always considered myself a junior-style coach,” he said. As a player, Fraser is in the Hockey Hall of Fame as a member of the 1996-1997 Kemptville 73’s team that went an entire season without losing a game (38-0-4).
“I plan to teach the players life skills, With a new coaching staff comes a how to present themselves in the commuchange in focus.

was just three years old. “He loved hockey and everyone knew him. When he passed away we had 800 people at his funeral (at the Carleton Place arena). The community has helped us, as a family, so much so it’s important to me to make the team realize how integral a community can be.” As for a look ahead to the dynamics of the Blue Wings this year, Fraser said fans can expect energetic and exciting hockey. “I’m only 140 pounds, but I love the physical side of the game,” said Fraser. “We’ll be a meaner team on the front end this year while also keeping the skill on the back end. I want to stoke some fuel into these guys.” Fraser said he likes players who take control of their own hockey, and he actively encourages players to contact him about being on the team. “I’m interested in players who can make that call themselves – if they want to play hockey they can call me personally. “It shows me they have more desire and more will. Skill only gets a player so far.”
Stallions round out coaching staff with another former NHLer DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
The Kanata Stallions head coach Randy Pierce has rounded out his coaching staff for the 2011-2012 season by adding two assistants and a goalie coach to the stable. That brings the number of former National Hockey League players on the Stallions bench next season to two. Pierce, a well-known Pakenham area hockey player and coached, announced on Aug. 8 that Corey Foster and Evan Gray will stand next to him on the bench for games this Central Canada Hockey League season, while Paul Schonfelder will work with the team’s netminders. Foster played four seasons as a defenceman for the Ontario Hockey League’s Peterborough Petes. His best season came in 1989 when he was a member of Canada’s national junior team and won the Memorial Cup with the Petes. Foster was the 12th overall pick in the 1988 NHL draft by the New Jersey Devils.
He played 45 NHL games with New Jersey, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. “Hiring Corey with his knowledge of the game and how to play defence should help our defenceman out a lot,” Pierce said in a release. Foster, like Pierce, is a former head coach of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Junior B Arnprior Packers. Gray played for Pierce with the Packers and won two Valley division titles in 1996 and 1998. He has previously coached in the Arnprior Minor Hockey Association system. Schonfelder returns to the Stallions staff after spending time in Toronto for work-related reasons. He had been the team’s goalie coach for two seasons prior to relocating to the provincial capital. Pierce, a Pakenham native who played 277 NHL games with Colorado, New Jersey and Hartford, was hired by the Stallions on July 7 after former head coach Adam Dewan resigned following the team’s opening-round playoff exit to the
Eric Leighton to be honoured in many ways this hockey season BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
ALMONTE – Eric Leighton will be well remembered by his Almonte Jr. B Thunder teammates and coaches this season. In addition to his number being retired on Nov 6, the Thunder will be putting patches on each player’s jersey for the 2011-12 hockey season, said Thunder general manager Jeff Hawkins. “Eric was a great kid and great example for others,” Hawkins said in an email. “We really liked him and feel he was the type of kid we want to build our team
with. We will definitely miss him.” The club has also teamed up with the Almonte Lions to create the Almonte Lions Club – Eric Leighton Memorial Award, which will keep Leighton’s family involved with the club. Starting this year, all 50-50 revenue will be set aside for a bursary for a Thunder player, and another amount to a to-be-determined charity. There was an outpouring of support for the Leighton family after their son, a Grade 12 student and passionate hockey player, died in a shop class explosion in May.
Cornwall Colts last season. Dewan said he wanted to spend more time with his newborn daughter.
The Kanata Stallions are the host of the 2012 Fred Page Cup – eastern Canada’s Junior A championships.

Environment
We need to conserve water by reducing the amount we use THERESA PELUSO
Americans consumed more. Compare that with the United Kingdom, where domestic consumption was 150 litres per day in 2008. Incidentally, Canada’s municipal water rates are actually among the lowest of 16 developed countries. If we had to pay more for the water we use, would we use it more sparingly, I wonder? To meet basic sanitation, food preparation and bathing needs, we really need only 80 litres per person per day. People in drought-stricken countries get by with much, much less. Here in Lanark County, whether we have our own wells or depend on municipal services, our water comes from aquifers below the ground. Ultimately, we depend on precipitation to replenish these aquifers. When the snow melts, or when it rains,
Green Talk
We should consider ourselves lucky in Lanark County, with our abundant rivers and lakes, especially when we consider the increasing droughts in other parts of the world. But will we always be spared the droughts that have occurred elsewhere? Even now, during dry spells, we are asked to use water sparingly. But this is something we should always be doing, first because wasting such a precious resource is wrong, and second, because we don’t know how climate change will affect water availability in the future. In the year 2004, domestic water consumption for the average Canadian in 2004 was 329 litres per day. Only the
the faster the water drains away from the land onto roads, and into rivers, lakes, and sewers, the less water there is that actually reaches the aquifers. When we drain wetlands, divert streams and creeks, cut down forests, and pave surfaces, we are removing all the tools Nature has at her disposal to slow down the flow of water, thereby enabling it to seep into the ground, and be purified of contaminants in the process. Without these “sponges,” there is a huge risk during heavy rainfalls, or quick-melting snows, that the water will surge madly ahead, washing away roads, buildings, and soil, and quickly ending up in the rivers and sewers. What can we do to reduce our water consumption and minimize pollution? We all know how important it is to repair leaky fixtures, take short showers,
and buy low-flow showerheads and dualflush toilets if possible. We can also use rain barrels to capture the rain and water our lawn, wait until we have a full load of laundry or dishes before turning on our machine, and avoid letting water run from the tap or outdoor hose when washing food, dishes or our car – fill a bowl or bucket with water instead. Other measures are to plant droughttolerant grass and flowers, and lots of trees and bushes, mulch our gardens, choose permeable surfaces when landscaping, and water the lawn infrequently, in the evening. Finally, we must never put any chemicals on our plants, down the drain or in the toilet. If we all do our part, we can ensure that our aquifers are there to sustain us with clean water for a long time.

HUNGER DOESN’T TAKE A VACATION

RIGHT FIT FOR A DONATION Centre left, Jenny Andress of Heritage Community Fitness in Carleton Place presents a cheque for $1,030 to Wendy Powell, assisted living manager at the Elizabeth Court seniors apartment resident on July 22. To the left is Mallory Montgomery and to the right is Toni Surko, chief executive officer of the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. Heritage Fitness hosted the Century Bicycle Ride during Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month on June 25, as a fundraiser for the North Lanark Assisted Living Program.
The heat will leave soon, we hope, but over the summer months, the hunger never goes away. That is why the Murphy Chiropractic Health Centre in Carleton Place wanted to keep donations to the Lanark County Food Bank frontof-mind for its patients and others during their recently-ended food drive at the clinic. They raised $25 and 93 lb. of food, about 411 items all together. From left, Sandi Vincent, Dr. Sean Murphy, 10-year-old Rachel Murphy, 8-yearold Callum Murphy, Christine Murphy and Samantha Lapensee stand before their haul on July 20.
