CARLETON PLACE – Louis Antonakos may have been feeling the love, but he certainly wasn’t feeling the passion last week. “I am not hearing the passion,” said Antonakos, a Carleton Place town councillor and a member of the board of directors of the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital, as he directly asked the four provincial candidates in Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington if they would endorse the recently-started campaign to provide his town with a new hospital. “I am disappointed … I realize that you cannot promise us a hospital.” “When I stand up, you’ll hear the passion,” said incumbent Progressive Conservative Ran-

dy Hillier, during the debate at the Arklan Community Public School Sept. 21. Hillier said he had various tools at his disposal to attract attention to the issue that could move it forward. He pointed out a brain injury facility had been promised in Napanee, in the far southwest corner of his riding, for the past 19 years. “There are two things that prompt Liberals to action,” said Hillier. “Votes and embarrassment … (and) the Liberals are media shy.” During one meeting about the brain injury clinic, Hillier invited a reporter from the Toronto Star to sit in on the meeting, and a story was later published on the issue. “We got a decision from the LHIN, finally, but only after we embarrassed them,” said Hillier.

Football kicks off in Lanark; Notre Dame plays first ever senior game Teams from local high schools launched into their football season last Thursday – including Notre Dame’s senior team, for the very first time. Notre Dame’s seniors fell to Perth, 27-7 in their

historic opener, with the junior team also losing to Perth by a 18-0 score. Carleton Place lost to Smiths Falls 38-0 in the senior division, and 42-8 in the junior division. Almonte tied St. John’s

22-22 in the senior league, and lost to Arnprior 20-12 in the junior league. Wes Mann of Almonte is leading the Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills area with points, with 12 on the record.

Continued from front “Unfortunately, that’s how this government is operating … They don’t care much about the Carleton Place Canadian, but they care about the Toronto Star.” Representatives of the other parties, however, used the opportunity to attack the record of previous P.C. governments. “I really find it difficult to accept Randy’s position,” said Liberal candidate Bill MacDonald. “The Liberal party is a party that builds hospitals. The Tory party closes them … I will work as hard as I can on this issue.” “Randy, you’re right,” said New Democratic Party candidate David Parkhill. “The system is broken, and your party broke it.” Two of Parkhill’s sons are autistic, and he told the audience that he has had to fight long and hard to get his children the care they need. “I tell you for sure, and I believe this, I have the mediation skills, and I can sit down with anyone,” said Parkhill. “I may not like you … but we can find a way to make our interests meet.” Green Party candidate Nancy Matte noted that it took her and her husband at least three years to build their home in Beckwith Township and that she did not know how long a hospital would take to build, but she did not doubt the need for one.

Kathy Seguin of People First of Lanark County, right, accepts some material from Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc on Sept. 21, promoting the reasons behind the town’s campaign for a new hospital. “We need this,” said Matte. “We need to have the health care close to home … I wouldn’t give up with my kids and I wouldn’t give up with this. We need to be little bulldogs (on this).” One of Antonakos’ councilmates kept the questions to the candidates at the debate focused on the new hospital campaign. “It’s the number one community priority,” said Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, in a written question to the candidates. “We need, want, deserve a new hospital.” Hillier noted he has met with the CPDMH board since he was first elected in October 2007. “I recognize … there is a distinct and definite need for a hospital,” said Hillier. “I’ve encouraged the board to be more assertive … (and) make more public aware-

he had done just that. “The LHINs are not responsive to the community,” said Parkhill. “The government needs to man up.” Matte agreed with Parkhill that the LHINs can be unresponsive. “I tried to call the LHIN,” said Matte. “I found out that I can’t get much information from the LHIN.” But Matte also commended Carleton Place for taking ownership of their local health care fight. “I’ve never seen a community more involved in its health care,” she said. The topic of the new hospital later spilled over into a discussion on taxes. “Who here wants a new hospital?” asked Parkhill, raising his hand as many hands shot up into the air of the school gymnasium. “Who’s going to pay for it? Taxes.”

through Local Health Integration Networks, which Hillier’s party has promised to scrap. “They (Progressive Conservatives) closed 28 hospitals in Ontario,” said MacDonald. “They’re on record as saying they want to eliminate the LHINs and take decision making back to Toronto.” MacDonald pointed out former premier Mike Harris promised not to cut health care or close hospitals in 1995, and then did just that once in office. “We have to keep the LHINs. You’re at the front of the pile,” said MacDonald. “You would have to go through the whole process again” to get a new hospital if the LHINs were eliminated. MacDonald also charged Hillier voted against improvements to the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital’s Smiths Falls campus. Hillier denied this, but MacDonald said that by voting against the provincial budget,

Garden of Hope set to bloom to remember cancer fight Daffodil sales raised more than $2,000 for Cancer Society DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – Get ready for a big burst of yellow next spring. They’re just bulbs now, but thanks to the handiwork of dozens of volunteers, and more than 130 school children from Caldwell Street Public and St. Mary’s

Catholic Elementary schools in Carleton Place, a whole patch of Riverside Park will boast a big burst of yellow, as a way of remembering those who fought, or are fighting, cancer, and those who love them. “Can you imagine what this will look like next spring?” asked Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc as she looked out over

the dug-up rows of earth in which legions of volunteers had spent the morning of Saturday, Sept. 24 placing daffodil bulbs. “You’re beautifying our community.” LeBlanc noted that many of the people present had a personal stake in the fight against cancer. “It is a sign of hope,” LeBlanc said of the daffodils. “We know that we put them in the ground, with the hope that they will come up perfect.” LeBlanc thanked the Garden of Hope organizing committee chair Debbie Lytle for her hard work. “You are a true inspiration to our community,” said LeBlanc. Lytle, in turn, thanked her committee, without whom, she said, the garden would not have been possible. More than 2,000 bulbs were planted by the school children, and 2,000 by the adult volunteers. “We are doing something special for the community,” said LeBlanc. The sale of daffodil bulbs and flowers ended up raising $2,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society, which was music to the ears of Thora Pugh, president of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of

You do it to remember and honour those who have fought cancer, or are fighting it now.” Pugh noted the money raised from the initiative would stay in the community. Pugh noted the $30 million raised Canada-wide

Home run for new baseball diamond tree DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – There is an old English saying that those who plant trees care about the generations that will come afterwards. On National Tree Day last Wednesday, Sept. 21, a large group of forward-thinkers, better known as the Urban Forest/River Corridor Advisory Committee, got together to pay forward a gift to the next generation by planting a pin oak near the baseball diamonds beside the Carleton Place arena. “It was formed as a response to the damage we received during the ice storm (of 1998),” said Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc.

Dena Comley, who sits on the committee, as well as the Carleton Place environmental advisory committee, noted the town serves as a green example to other communities, and environmental studies students from the University of Toronto too. “They come to Carleton Place every year (to see) an example of what a small town can do (with its trees),” said Comley. But she and her committee could not do it alone. “It was the support of the town staff which is what made it happen,” said Comley. The tree itself was donated by the Carleton Place Nursery, at a cost of about $300. “This town has a pretty

awesome program of replacing any tree that falls on town property,” added Comley. Lisa Young, the town’s director of planning and development, noted keeping as many trees as possible on a property during development is a priority for the town. “When we look at development … those are thing we are looking at,” said Young. For Comley though, the timing synced up perfectly with a tree-planting need in the community. “This was a tree that needed to be replaced,” said Comley. “We thought National Tree Day was something that needed to be recognized. We got the full co-operation from council and staff.”

Continued from Page 6 “We have nothing like this in the U.S. to screen our researchers,” the American doctor told Pugh. While a cancer diagnosis can be scary, Pugh noted things are improving, as there is a sur-

vival rate of 83 per cent for children with cancer. For dog walkers, children and others walking by this coming spring, the garden will be a beautiful reminder, she said. “It will lift them, I know, but it will remind them that we are

striving to eliminate cancer,” said Pugh. Pugh’s own family has had its own battles with cancer. One of her daughters died at age 39 of breast cancer, while her second daughter was diagnosed with it three years later.

Tight race clouds new hospital debate

Send a Looney to Queen’s Park! DESMOND DEVOY Des Says

arleton Place needs, wants, deserves a new hospital. Whether we’ll get it is another matter. The candidates at last week’s all-candidates debate at the Arklan Community Public School in Carleton Place heard loud and clear last week that, with Carleton Place and Beckwith growing by leaps and bounds population and space wise, our dependable old Memorial Hospital simply can’t keep up with our anticipated demand. New Democratic Party candidate David Parkhill admitted as such when he said that Carleton Place appeared to be the only place in the riding that appeared to be booming. It is encouraging that no candidate came out in opposition to the hospital. Progressive Conservative Randy Hillier even donned one of the purple scarves being handed out to pro-hospitalites. The Almonte General Hospital and QueenswayCarleton hospitals certainly may be jealous to see Carleton Place getting a new hospital. People living in Ottawa’s west end may wonder why people in a “small” town such as Carleton Place is entitled to two hospitals, when the AGH is a short drive away. We are already lucky to have these two hospitals, as well as the hospitals in Perth and Arnprior, all under an hour’s drive away. We also need to be mindful that if P.C. leader Tim Hudak becomes premier on Oct. 6 he may carry through on a promise he made in Perth this time last year to eliminate the Local Health Integration Networks. After Carleton Place’s proposal for a new hospital wormed its way through the labyrinth bureaucracy of the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care, the rules were changed and our town was told that it would have to go through the Champlain LHIN instead. If the LHINs are dismantled, the decision will again be punted down Highway 401 to Toronto and the clock is re-set again. While we appreciate the efforts of Coun. Louis Antonakos for bringing some much needed passion to this debate, and while we need to get this in front of all of the candidates in case there is a surprise come Oct. 6, we still need to be mindful that this will take a long time, and that we also need to see where the chips fall the morning after the election. At least the campaign has started to undo the damage done by the rumour going around that the current Carleton Place hospital will be shut down. It will stay, and will instead have a sister.

LETTERS

Don’t centralize health care decisions in Toronto To the Editor: The following comments were presented to the Chamber of Commerce for submission to the our Provincial Conservative candidate at the All-Candidates meeting in Carleton Place, but were not presented, as the Chamber moderator felt that they were already discussed. I disagree. While the topic did come up for discussion more than once, these questions were not addressed. Our health care administration is, and should be, our number one priority during this election. The locally represented Champlain Integrated Health Network (LHIN) has some shortcomings, as I have noted in various letters to the Editor over the past years. However, dismantling this organization and moving it to Toronto is not the way to proceed. I cannot understand why our local po-

litical representative feels that decisions being made in Toronto would serve this area better than decisions made in this region. We do have difficulties in dealing with a regional board, but we would be further lost in the shuffle dealing with a beauocracy allocating funds for all of Ontario. What will happen to the employees of the LHINs spread all across Ontario? Will they be absorbed into the proposed new outfit in Toronto, or fired?

I well remember the greatest MPP Ontario never had. He goes by the name John Looney, and had he won in EtobicokeLakeshore, back in ’03, I know he would have changed the face of politics in this province. None of this partisan advertising or mudslinging. Just invite Dalton, Tim and Andrea down to the Galway Arms in Toronto’s west end over a pint. In 2003, juggling both English assignments at York University and writing duties at the Toronto Irish News, I came across what I considered to be a wonderful idea. Back then, there was an IrishCanadian version of the Tea Party – minus the radical right wing rhetoric and misspelled banners. Guinness had a great advertising campaign called the Guinness Party of Canada, which sought to make St. Patrick’s Day a national holiday. I was most certainly on board. But as then-Premier Ernie Eves prepared to drop the writ for early October, I thought to myself, why not take things one step further? If the big oil companies were bankrolling the Conservatives, and if Montreal’s Power Corporation was doing the same for the Liberals, and the unions with the NDP, why not actually have a corporation run as a political party? Better yet, it was a brewing company, so what’s not to love? One night at the Galway Arms on the Queensway, I looked across the bar at Mr. Looney, a proud native of County Kerry and part two of my plan clicked into place. Why not run Mr. Looney as our Guinness Party candidate? And we’d have the perfect slogan – Send A Looney To Queen’s Park! Sure, we’d use the Galway Arms as the campaign headquarters. Yes, he’d be a one-issue candidate, but then one-issue candidates are elected in Ireland all the time – Save the Tyrone Hospital!

Continued from page 8 I asked my boss, Eamonn, if he could see if Guinness wouldn’t mind footing the bill for some of the legal costs – registering, getting on the ballot, etc. – but I would take care of everything else. Sadly, the answer came back that, legally, the company could not indulge in such antics.

But I found out that Mr. Looney was more than willing to put his name forward, had he been asked. We still have a great laugh about it even now whenever I visit my old haunt, but with the 2011 race entering its last week, I remember the campaign that could have been as a great example of how politics can be,

by putting the party back in to party politics. Or, as a Quebec New Democrat I once met in Vanier put it of his own party: “We need to put the social back into Socialist.” That was before the Orange Crush this past May – now he probably has plenty to celebrate.

LHIN’s on way out? Continued from page 8 organization and will not blend the LHIN’s into anything existing. While what we have now is not perfect, some hard work and political pressure on the Champlain LHIN will serve us better than moving everything to Toronto. If our MPP really wants to help, he needs to get together with the

other MPPs from the Champlain region, and make sure that we get the health care services that we deserve. If health care services cannot be better served from a regional board, what chance do what have in Toronto? Doug Smith Carleton Place

Letters

Four-way stop issue mishandled (This letter was sent to Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi and members of town council. A copy was made available for publication in the Canadian Gazette.) Re: Four-way stop sign in Appleton, and Coun. Val Wilkinson’s disappointing handling of the matter. Dear Mayor Levi and Members of Council: Our Councillor Val Wilkinson attended a meeting that included a vote concerning the abovementioned four-way stop. A few constituents were told by Wilkinson that she would inform them of the decision made at this meeting, but the residents

found out through the Canadian Gazette. In this article, (“Petition aims to eliminate four-way stop in Appleton,” Sept. 15), it was stated that that stop sign was requested by “one individual.” That does not sit right with us. One individual requests a four-way stop and gets what they want, yet a petition with about 100 signatures, signed by honest Appleton residents who do not want this stop sign, gets nowhere with our councillor. My husband, Aubrey Thompson, has been a transport driver for many years and in his travels across this country and the United States he has never

come across a stop sign at the end of a bridge. People are not stopping for this stop sign and someone will either be killed or badly hurt. Irene RobertsonThompson, Appleton (Editor’s Note: The fourway stop in Appleton will be discussed at a meeting of Lanark County Council’s public works committee in Perth on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 5 p.m. in the council chambers. Also, an information session on the four-way stop will be held at the North Lanark Regional Museum, 647 River Rd., Appleton, on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m.)

Councillor should resign Appleton resident Lonny Lytle sent the following letter to Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi and members of town council. A copy of this letter was made available to the Canadian Gazette for publication. Dear Mayor Levi and members of Mississippi Mills Town Council: It is with absolute and utter disgust that I write this letter to voice my complaint about Coun. Val Wilkinson’s disregard and disrespect for the democratic process. She voted against Mississippi Mills’ own resolution in regard to the removal of the stop sign at the bridge in Appleton. It is unfortunate for her that the vote was 11 to 1, with Mayor Levi the only vote from our local council to support our resolution. I think she should apologize or step down immediately.

Election

Past comes back to haunt Grit, Tory candidates DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – The past came back to haunt both the Liberal and Progressive Conservative (PC) candidates at last week’s all-candidates debate in Carleton Place. Though neither man was a member of their respective parties’ governments at the time, PC candidate, and incumbent, Randy Hillier had to fend off hits to the record of the Mike Harris and Ernie Eves governments and Liberal Bill MacDonald had to defend Premier Dalton McGuinty’s record since 2003. The forum at the Arklan Community Public School Sept. 21 was sponsored by the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce. Hillier and MacDonald were joined on stage by New Democratic Party candidate David Parkhill and Green Party candidate Nancy Matte. TAXES MacDonald defended Liberal policy on the HST, in response to a question from Wally Cook, by pointing out it was a federal program. “Every Conservative MP voted in favour of it, including Scott Reid,” said MacDonald, adding the HST had resulted in a 12 per cent decrease in provincial income tax, and that tax child benefits had increased. “We changed the whole tax system,” said MacDonald. Ron Armstrong challenged MacDonald

on a new smart meter fee, which some are saying will be added to electricity bills come Jan. 1. “You have information available to you that I don’t have,” said MacDonald. Hillier charged that the monthly fee would be “added to the long list of fees that you see on your hydro bill.” MacDonald noted the McGuinty government has been putting more money into education and health since 2003. “You cannot have services without taxes,” MacDonald said. In his opening remarks, Hillier instructed voters to pick up a photocopy of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation’s Taxpayer Protection Promise, signed by McGuinty on Sept. 11, 2003, in which he promised not to raise taxes or run a deficit without the express consent of the people of Ontario. “We all know what Dalton’s word is worth,” said Hillier, pointing to the health premium, the current budget deficit and the HST. “We are now a have-not economy in a have-not province … What good is a government that lies to you?” “He (McGuinty) didn’t have information that the Tory government withheld from him,” MacDonald. PROPERTY RIGHTS Before becoming MPP for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington in October 2007, Hillier was the co-founder of the Lanark Landowners’ Association, which later grew into a province-wide movement.

The current president of the Lanark chapter, Jeff Bogearts, asked a question on enshrining property rights in the constitution and argued that government should “get out of the job-making business.” “You don’t know how to do it. Get out of my wallet and I will hire more people (at my business),” he said. “I didn’t say that I didn’t approve of property rights,” said MacDonald. “(But) if you’re extending land rights in the con-

stitution, you are then extending those rights to large corporations … I am a land owner. (But) I recognize that we only own it (the land) for a generation.” “They (corporations) are already protected,” said Hillier. “It’s individuals who are not. “It’s not government’s role to create jobs,” added Hillier. “Government doesn’t create money, it takes away money.” See ‘DEBATE’ Page 13

Election

Continued from Page 12 Carleton Place resident John Southwell asked candidates for their opinion about the e-Health scandal, which cost Ontario taxpayers billions in wasted money. “I know how hard you work for your money,” said MacDonald. “When it is wasted, we all suffer.” Hillier took the opportunity to point out there were problems with patronage and mis-spent money not only with e-Health but also the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, the Niagara Parks Commission, and other agencies. “‘The bureaucracy will do what it has to do,’” said Hillier. “That’s the answer I always get when I talk to a Liberal cabinet minister. They take and they spend and they don’t care whatever.” “I care,” said Matte. “If you put all of your energy into what happened in the past, you aren’t putting your energy into the future.” She added that, with all of the technology at hand, the Internet could go a long way towards making the health system more transparent. “Have you ever tried to appeal a decision to a LHIN?” asked

Parkhill, picking up on Matte’s point. “You know what the appeal process is? There is no appeal process.” “The (e-Health) program is now up and running,” said MacDonald. “If you talk to any health provider in the province of Ontario, it is the way to go … it is the way of the future.” CLIMATE CHANGE Hillier was taken to task by one questioner about comments he had made doubting the science behind climate change. “Is this science complete, full, is it beyond reproach? The modeling and data may have had substantial faults and flaws,” said Hillier. But he was quick to underline his commitment to keeping Lanark County beautiful. “When I go outside, I see a lot of clean lakes and rivers. I see blue skies … I will continue to be a strong advocate for the environment.” Other candidates, however, underlined their belief in climate change. “Climate change is real and we need to deal with it,” said Parkhill. “I don’t suppose you can come up with a solution to a problem if you can’t

DOWNLOADING One of the campaign’s themes has involved whether parties would continue on the Liberals’ policy of uploading certain costs currently covered by municipalities to the province. “Municipal governments have been hammered (by provincial downloads),” said Parkhill. “Most of the rural municipalities … have little or no industri-

al tax base to spread the load,” said MacDonald. “My own taxes doubled. There were services which should never have been downloaded,” he added, pointing to ambulance services as one example. MacDonald charged that Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has refused to commit to the continuation of uploading. “We will meet the promise of uploads by 2018,” said Matte of her party’s stance. In an effort to “set the record straight” on the downloading of the Harris/Eves years, Hillier stressed that “things were uploaded (too) … our public schools were uploaded to the province.” Hillier also maintained the Liberals, while uploading some costs from municipalities, “are reducing grants,” available to local areas. Hillier charged that the McGuinty government’s Green Energy Act prevents communities from collecting property taxes on green developments like solar farms. “We need to fix the arbitration system, so that we don’t have to pay (provincial employees) the same rates as they do in downtown Toronto,” said Hillier of another cost for the province.

Candidates urged to join fight against poverty JOHN CARTER

CARLETON PLACE – Society’s most vulnerable are not being properly looked after in Ontario. That was the message three of the four Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington would-be MPPs received during an all-candidates round table in Carleton Place Sept. 22. Liberal Bill MacDonald, the NDP’s David Parkhill and Green Party candidate Nancy Matte attended the session, but Progressive Conservative Randy Hiller begged off, saying he was too busy. Topics such as poverty, unemployment, mental health, transportation, and child care were raised during animated discussions hosted by the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families. At one point it was suggested a new hospital for Carleton Place is the biggest issue in this area, but candidates were assured there are also other priorities. POVERTY Candidates were urged to support programs that tackled poverty. The province isn’t being developed properly when there are people living in poverty, said a representative from Interval House. “There has to be a shift in thinking … we need to address the re-

Liberal candidate Bill MacDonald answers a question at a table that included former Mississippi Mills councillor Brenda Hurrle, left, and Jamie-Lynn Shideler. MacDonald, the NDP’s David Parkhill and Nancy Matte of the Green Party rotated between three tables at the provincial election round table hosted by the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families Sept. 22 in Carleton Place.

ing in the rural areas, the candidates were told. It was suggested that three out of four rural youth needing services are not getting them. Torrance asked the candidates to champion an increase in spending on the local level for mental health programs. “We need to empower the local community,” said Matte. “I can’t emphasize that enough.” She said prevention should be emphasized. “Health care is not just about hospitals, it’s about keeping people healthy.” Youth need a place where they can go for informal get-togethers and talk about issues they may have, she suggested. MacDonald agreed programs that prevent future problems “are better for everyone.” For instance, new food guidelines will encourage people to eat better, have a better quality of life and save in health care funding, he said. He suggested there needs to be more discussion between local and provincial officials on what services are needed and more empathy shown in those talks. “Sometimes there is a big disconnect … the government’s not always aware of the problem,” he said. “I’d like to see the relationship between our area and the provincial government stronger.” Kathee Hutcheon suggested the province should put a value on volunteer hours and adjust funding to reflect that community interest.

alities … and stop the revolving door of poverty, parent passing it on to their children. We need compassion.” The province has the money, she maintained. “It’s just a matter of getting it out of a few pockets.” Parkhill said the government should be doing something about the root causes of poverty instead of spending all its energy in trying to manage the problem. “It’s getting worse in the province … it’s totally unacceptable,” he said. He said the NDP would eliminate school fees because they are inequitable. More should be done to help impoverished seniors, he added, noting they deserve more respect than to be ignored or called bed-blockers. Matte said the grassroots must lead the way in the fight against poverty. “Passion and community involvement are the only ways to affect change,” she said. MacDonald said the community needs to push together with its MPP on poverty issues. Despite the dominance of urban MPPs in the Legislature, a unified community and a strong message will get results for rural areas, he said. Candidates were urged to support another increase to the minimum wage. MacDonald pointed out it was the Liberals who have boosted the wage several times, despite opposition from some businesses, feeling the more money people

Interval House project co-ordinator Sarah Bingham said the government needs to better deal with the challenges facing unemployed rural people. Unemployed woman are especially badly off, she said, noting in this area “you can’t just jump on a bus (to go to a job interview or a job).” “There is so little support for transition into the work force,” said Parkhill, noting if a person on Ontario Works has the opportunity for part-time work they should be encouraged not penalized. Jamie-Lynn Shideler said it is difficult being a rural mother looking for work without gas money or the chance to make enough to afford child care. “It’s easy for a young mom to be isolated because there’s no transportation,” she said. Planning council community co-ordinator Jane Torrance pointed out some parents of special needs children can’t afford to take a minimum wage job because they lose benefits and end up worse off. MacDonald said a mindset change is needed to reflect changes in the work forces that see women qualify, and be paid properly, for jobs formerly limited to men. The new ‘green’, knowledgebased economy will help provide more meaningful jobs, he added. He said he saw first hand the pride of people when they got jobs cleaning up after the ice storm. CHILD CARE

Almonte Day Care director Karen Kane appealed to the candidates to support changes in policy and funding that would give parents more affordable choices when it comes to child care. “The whole subsidy process needs to be looked at … it’s not equal,” she said, noting the funding hasn’t changed in 15 to 20 years. “There haven’t even been cost-of-living increases, just higher expenses and new regulations on a daily basis.” Kane said the implementation of all-day kindergarten is adding to the problem, leaving daycares with the more expensive infants and toddlers. As a result, several are closing down, she said. “If it works in Toronto it doesn’t mean it works in the rural areas,” said Torrance. Matte agreed the system should be reviewed. For some daycares there are long waiting lists, but others have plenty of spaces, but parents can’t afford them, she said. Part of the problem is that the decision-makers aren’t listening to the community and the agencies that know the local situation, she added. “That’s why I joined the Green Party because they take the issues back to the community … not govern from the top down.”

Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families provincial election round table attracted about 35 people and three LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington

candidates to its office Sept. 22 to discuss issues. Each candidate spent about 30 minutes at each of three tables, where they were presented with four main

questions. Carleton-Mississippi Mills candidates had originally been invited too, but it was agreed that it could be confusing to have two candidates speaking for one party.

That essentially sums up the platform of Mississippi Mills resident Cynthia Bredfeldt, a well-known piano teacher and Family Coalition candidate in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding As a teacher for 30 years, Bredfeldt noted that her party would provide money to bus kids to schools such as Montessori or Christian schools, and provide an education tax credit to homeschooled children. “The Family Coalition does not advocate that the mother stays at home,” said Bredfeldt noting that the credit should allow one parent to be able to stay at home if they choose. Another party platform plank that she is very excited about is their proposal to retrofit

under-populated schools as seniors centres. “Schools are closing,” she said. “Why bulldoze it down? There is going to be a tremendous need for that.” With the name “family” in the title, there are several family-friendly initiatives that Bredfeldt will be stumping for in her first ever-run for political office. “Wouldn’t it be great if there was a tax incentive for families if they built on an addition to their house for a granny suite?” she asked. Such a move, she said, would keep seniors at home, and would reduce the burden on the social service and health care systems. Her party would also offer tax credits for married couples who wanted to undergo marriage counselling, or take part in family counselling. “If they can decrease divorce by half, the burden on society would be cut through less depen-

dence on social service,” she explained. On economic matters, her party would cap the feed-in tariff for “green energy” programs like solar energy, which is currently set at about 80 cents per kilowatt hour for a fixed period. “We can’t sustain that,” she said. Her party wants the Ontario Power Authority disbanded, and their duties farmed out to local power utilities.

NDP candidate inspired by Layton COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

When 22-year-old Liam Duff witnessed the wave of young NDP MPs elected in this year’s federal election, it sealed the deal on his decision to run as Carleton-Mississippi Mill’s NDP candidate. “I was tired of hearing people say, ‘I want something different,’” Duff said. “So I decided I’m going to make that change.” In his third year in communications at the University of Ottawa, Duff said his energy and young age will help him gain access to youth who have an historically low voter turnout. “I’m proud to be part of the young generation that’s getting into politics, that’s been inspired by people like Jack Layton,” he said. Duff said he’s also going door-to-door to find out what his riding

needs. “I’m trying to run a campaign based on talking to people,” he said. “Being young, I don’t come across as intimidating and people are willing to talk to me.” Duff has lived in Kanata for the past 11 years. His father is an artillery officer in the military, and his mother was a town councilor when they lived in New Brunswick. For the past two summers, Duff has worked for YMCA summer camps. During his time as a political science student, he volunteered for the Association Internationale des Étudiants en Sciences Économiques et Commerciales (AIESEC), the world’s largest student-run international organization. There, he helped facilitate business internships for students abroad and at home. After graduation from the University of Ottawa,

Cornell: revive high-tech sector Megan Cornell is looking to revive Silicon Valley in Kanata North. The Liberal Party candidate in Carleton-Mississippi Mills said things haven’t been the same since the downturn in the high-tech sector. “We have this great history of Silicon Valley north but have experienced a slow down since the bubble burst in hightech. There’s not that same sense that we’re the place to be,” said the 37year-old. “We used to be the most exciting place to come to work; that image is not really there. That is one of the things I really want to work on as MPP is bring together the right people…revive high-tech and our image.” The business lawyer said she also wants to tackle the issue of overcrowding in area schools

“I am the candidate with the track record in the community on the issues most important to us,” she said. “I am the candidate that will best represent all four corners of our riding, the urban and the rural. I am also going to be the MPP best able to bring the community together to create the kind of community we all want to live in.”

Time for a change: MacLaren BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

Duff plans to attend law school and stay involved in politics. “The tides are really shifting right now,” he said, “not just with the NDP but youth in general. I’m really hoping to stay at the forefront of that change. Change focused on policy, change based on what people are telling me at their doors.” To learn more about C a rl e t o n - M i s s i s s i p p i Mills NDP candidate Liam Duff, visit www.liamduff.ontariondp.ca.

and the need for another high school in Stittsville. The Kanata Lakes resident added she’d like to see Carleton-Mississippi Mills boast a health hub, similar to what is being offered in Orleans. “I think it would really be a huge boost for our riding in terms of access to health care services,” said the married mother of two. Cornell ran for office in 2007, losing to Conservative Norm Sterling, but said this time around she feels much more prepared. “Between the four years I was very active in the community and volunteering my time,” she said. “I’m much more known among community groups and associations. I’m much more aware of the local issues.” The former president of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce said she wants to bring people together within the riding.

Ontario is in trouble, said Jack MacLaren, Progressive Conservative candidate for CarletonMississippi Mills. The province’s debt has doubled since the Liberals took power eight years ago, and now sits at $250 billion, said MacLaren. “We think we’re OK – we’re not OK,” said MacLaren. “We do have a debt problem. Ontario has become a have-not-province, with the province forced to take money from other provinces like Newfoundland to pay its bills. Meanwhile taxes have gone up and Ontarians have seen their hydroelectricity costs rise by 150 per cent under the Liberal government’s watch, he said. A Tory government will freeze taxes and maintain funding of health care and education, promised MacLaren.

“Everything else is on the table to scrutinize,” he said. The Progressive Conservatives would eliminate the province’s local integrated health care networks and eliminate the Ontario Power Authority, created by the Liberals. A Tory government would remove the province’s portion of the HST on hydro bills and eliminate debt retirement fees charged to rate payers. It would cancel the Green Energy Act and pull out of deals with companies subsidized by the Ontario government to provide alternative energy such as the multi-billion dollar deal with Samsung. One of MacLaren’s biggest pet peeves is big-government’s interference with small businesses accompanied by higher costs, taxes and red tape. A Tory government will cut “the regulatory burden” at Queen’s Park by 30 per cent, he said.

MacLaren, a 62-year-old resident of MacLaren’s Landing and a farmer in West Carleton, holds a bachelor of science in civil engineering from Queen’s University. MacLaren is a past president of the Ontario Landowners Association as well as a director of the region’s Federation of Agriculture. He won the Tory nomination for Carleton-Mississippi Mills last spring, defeating Norm Sterling, a 34-year veteran at Queen’s Park.

STAFF COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

Carleton-Mississippi Mills Green candidate Scott Simser has been deaf since birth, and his mother taught him to speak one word at a time. Now, the 46-year-old husband, father and lawyer speaks eloquently and clearly, and owns his own law firm, Simser Consulting. He takes after his father, Graham (known as Ray), who was the first practicing lawyer in Kanata in the 1960’s. After running unsuccessfully for the federal Liberals twice, Simser opted to transition to the provincial Green Party, which he said is a better fit. “I like a party that is socially progressive, but fiscally conservative,” he said. With a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Ottawa, plus

MBA and CMA certifications from York University, Simser joked, “Maybe I have too many degrees.” He lives in Kanata with his wife Lori who is hard of hearing and works for the Capital Hearing Clinic, and their three sons: Matthew, 12; Graham, 8; and Oliver, 4. Simser was the leading lawyer in a 2006 legal victory requiring federal government to provide interpreters for deaf people free of charge. “I have a perspective that’s important in this riding,” he said. “I’ve owned a small business. I know how frustrating red tape and bureaucracy can be. I can cut through that red tape as an MPP.” The Green Party came in third place last provincial election, and Simser said that proves people are taking the party seriously. Having spent most of

his life living in Kanata, Simser said he knows the community well and could serve its people. “I don’t want to be remembered for anything grand,” he said, “I just want to serve this riding as MPP. I want to listen to them and help advocate for them. I hope they vote for the boy who grew up here.” To learn more about Scott Simser, visit his blog at www.scotts.kevino.net.

Her signs along the back roads behind Pakenham remain intact.

The last all-candidates debate for Carleton-Mississippi Mills candidates will be held today (Thursday) in Pakenham. The Canadian Gazette will be covering the 7:30 p.m. debate, which will be held at the Stewart Community Centre and hosted by the Arnprior and Lanark Federations of Agriculture. While there will be coverage in next’s week’s newspaper, readers can read all about it online before election day next Thursday. For coverage of the all-candidates debates and other news leading up to the election, visit www.yourottawaregion. com. The website will also be regularly updated with results and reactions during election night, Oct. 6, so make sure to bookmark it. RIPPED SIGNS REMAIN The signs of destruction are still lingering along Highway 29 between Pakenham and Almonte. Carleton-Mississippi Mills Liberal candidate Megan Cornell has not replaced some of her damaged campaign signs, leaving them up to show they were vandalized. Cornell and her campaign team did call the Lanark OPP following the attacks a couple of weeks ago, which saw many of her signs slashed in half.

VOTING The last day for the advance polls will be this Friday, Sept. 30. The polls are open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at various locations including Almonte United Church, Corkery Community Centre and Five Arches Non-profit Housing in Pakenham for Carleton-Mississippi Mills voters. In Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington, the advance polls include the Carleton Place Community Centre and Brunton Community Hall. There will be several polls open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. election day, Thursday, Oct. 6. Check your voter card to see where you vote. If you didn’t receive a card, contact your returning office at 600 Terry Fox Drive in Kanata (Carleton-Mississippi Mills) or 465 Advance Ave. in Napanee (LanarkFrontenac-Lennox & Addington). Or if that’s too far, you can call 1-888-668-8683 or visit the website elections.on.ca. In the last Ontario election, the Liberals were elected with 52.1 per cent of electorate voting. The number of electors casting ballots has been steadily declining since 1990, when it was 64.4 per cent. The Progressive Conservative candidates won election in both Carleton-Missippi Mills and Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington.

Generating Station renamed for Brian J. Gallagher BRIER DODGE

brier.dodge@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPI MILLS - The Mississippi River Power Corp station has officially been named the Brian J. Gallagher Generating Station. “We’re not likely to get a more special occasion than this,” said Gallagher. “This is a very humbling accolade, I didn’t know whether to cry or hide.” In a ceremony at the Almonte Legion Monday night, attended by about 80 people, two plaques were unveiled – one for the station, and one for the river walk. Scott Newton said he was asked three years ago to rename the station by Des Houston – who warned him, “if it got out, he’d either fire me, or kill me.” Mayor John Levi thanked Gallagher for all his service to the town over the years, including work with the BIA and Light Up the Night. Gallagher told the town it should be proud of the state-of-the-art facility and the turbine, a facility that he helped build with his own hands. After 50 years of service that started in 1961 as a summer student, he’s made his mark at the generating station. During the ‘hell-ish’ rebuild, Gallagher was a leader, and instrumental in keeping the hydro plant owned by the town – Mississippi Mills is the sole shareholder. Though his co-workers did have one gripe – they often commented on his lack of wearing suits to meetings. “They used to say, ‘What is it going to take to get you dressed up?’” he said at the ceremony, while wearing a suit and tie. “Here it is.”

BLACKS CORNERS – When you’re facing double trouble, now there is a safe place you can turn to. People who suffer with mental health issues who also have to handle the added burden of addiction issues now have a new support group they can turn to so as they don’t have to fight both battles alone. “It follows a 12-step program like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA),” said Susan, one of the founding members of the Lanark County chapter of “Double Trouble in Recovery,” which meets twice a month in Smiths Falls. “From my personal experience … I would sometimes drink or smoke pot or whatever. It got so that I didn’t want to take my medication.” Susan was speaking at the Circle of Care meeting at the Brunton Community Hall in Beckwith Township on Friday, Sept. 16, as part of the networking day for municipal drug strategy committees across the county, and related agencies. For Susan, the date was especially meaningful because, as of the day before, she had celebrated six sober months with AA. While she appreciates the help she gets at AA, Susan is also glad of the specific outlet offered to her by Double Trouble. “Sometimes in AA, there would be talk about, ‘All you need to do is quit drinking. You need to be on your meds,’” said Susan. She appreciates that Double Trouble provides her with a safe place to talk in a non-hierarchical peer-supported environment. “We all try to take turns,” Susan said of the leadership role. “We can all relate to each other. What you see and hear stays in the room.” The program began at a city-run hospital in New York City in 1989 and has now expanded across the continent. The Smiths Falls group also deals with gambling issues. The group began in July 2011 and has had some growing pains. “We have had some trials and errors,” said Susan. “Some weeks, nobody shows up. But we stayed and kept the door open in case anyone came up.” The ‘Double Trouble in Recovery’ group meets Thursdays from 4 to 5:30 p.m., every other week, at 88 Cornelia St. West in Smiths Falls. For information, you can call Jess at 613-269-3799 or Susan at 613-283-4898. It is hoped the group will be expanded to locations in Carleton Place and Perth., The strategy meeting heard from other partner agencies in a type of rapid “speed-dating” environment where representatives could spread the word about what their groups were up to.

A late Saturday-afternoon collision on Calabogie Road involving an ambulance has killed Beckwith’s Lynsey Cote and her boyfriend Mitch Albert. The two Arnprior paramedics in the ambulance suffered minor injuries and attempted to help the two people in the other car until other paramedics arrived on the scene. Albert, 25, was described in the 27-yearold Cote’s obituary as “her soul-mate and

best friend – the two were inseparable.” Cote’s funeral will be held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes in Nepean at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1. The family has asked for donations to be made to the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge in her memory. Albert, of Ottawa, grew up in West Carleton. The paramedics involved in the collision were Wendell Croken, 65, and Kristy Smaggus, 27, both of Arnprior. They suffered minor injuries and were transported by ambulance to Renfrew Victoria Hospital after

Local youth urged to enter health issues photo contest Continued from Page 20 Kerri Choffe of North Lanark Community Health detailed some of the problems she is having in helping clients access care. “One of the biggest barriers to our clients is trying to get treatment in Ottawa,” said Choffe, who is trying to organize a partnership between her group and the Royal Ottawa Hospital for psychiatric care. For young people who are looking for their own Xbox system, and are handy with a camera, David Patterson, youth engagement advisor to the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, has an offer for you with his PhotoVoice competition. The competition asks area youth to take photographs of health issues, and then upload it, with an accompanying “blurb” to smokefreeeast.ca. The photos will then be compiled and put on display in a community gallery. “(We want to) put them in the public eye so that people can see what youth are feeling,” said Patterson. “We can provide disposable cameras to youth who do not have one.” There will be a random draw for prizes. “It’s non-judgmental,” said Patterson. “It’s about the issue.”

being treated by attending paramedics. The injured paramedics were not responding to a call, and did not have any patients on board at the time of the collision. The crash happened about 4:30 p.m. in the Springtown area between Burnstown and Calabogie. The OPP’s investigation indicates a 1999 red Acura Integra travelling south on County Road 508 lost control on a curve and entered the path of the 2009 Ford ambulance travelling north. Both Cote and Albert were pronounced dead at the scene by the responding paramedics.

United Way sets $400,000 fundraising goal for county DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – The United Way of Lanark County is aiming high in its new cross-county fundraising goal. Not only have the stakes been raised, but to further up the ante, the United Way now has a new motto – change starts here. “Change starts with you, the people of Lanark County,” said Fraser Scantlebury, a director with the United Way, during their kick-off celebrations at the Carleton Place High School (CPHS) Saturday. “The biggest thing for me about the United Way is that the money stays here in the community,” said Sharon Mousseau, the warden of Lanark County. Her own Warden’s golf tournament this past summer collected more than $3,500 for the United Way and its 16 partner agencies. “Good luck on reaching your goal,” said Mousseau. “It is an ambitious goal, but I’ve no doubt that you will reach that goal.” If anyone is going to make sure that the total is reached, it’s the United Way’s executive director, Sarah Bridson. “We’re going to work really hard this year to let people know

that change starts here,” said Bridson. “If you can’t give of your dollars, can you give of your time and expertise?” She admitted $400,000 was “a big number,” but “we’re really optimistic about getting this raised.” Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, meanwhile, pointed out the reasons why the United Way was so important, because of all of the worthy groups it supports. “The United Way benefits all of us from youth to seniors,” said LeBlanc, who had spent some time that morning chatting with Donna Strachan of the Youth Action Committee of Perth, who gave her a “quotable quote.” “‘We couldn’t do what we do without the United way,’” LeBlanc quoted Strachan as saying. “That’s what the United Way is all about.” Scantlebury reminded the audience that at-the-office donations can go a long way, and even though they may result in a tax receipt, they are not taxing on the brain since, with automatic deductions, you can set-it-and-forget-it. “One dollar a week, $52 a year, less than a Timmies,” said Scantlebury. “It adds up, it makes a difference.” Another new initiative of the United Way is the part they are

playing in the new county-wide talent search, My Town’s Got Talent. Sponsored by the Valley Players of Almonte as a United Way fundraiser, the really big show will take place Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Almonte and District High School at 7 p.m., with 40 young people from Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte and region. Entry for the audience will be by donation. “We have so many different types of acts,” said director Jeff Gourgon, with performers ranging from singers, musicians and dancers to joint-popping contortionists. “It promises to be a great night.” The three judges will choose the top five acts out of the field, but then it is up to the audience to pick the next star of the Valley. Gourgon pointed out Carleton Place signing sensation Jordan McIntosh entered last year when the competition was simply Almonte’s Got Talent. He placed second, but Gourgon reminded the audience the final scores for the three finalists were extremely tight – 70, 69, 68 respectively. The CPHS student has since gone on to win the Ottawa Kiwanis Idol competition and auditioned for Canada’s Got Talent in

Finding a way through the mental health system GEOFF DAVIES AND LAURA MUELLER

mental health is improving, funding isn’t following suit. But Ottawa Public Health is trying to do its part. The city added $300,000 into its budget starting in 2011 aimed at adding suicide-prevention programming for parents and to provide funding to allow the Youth Services Bureau’s downtown crisis drop-in centre to be open for an extra day each week (that announcement is coming next month). It’s a big step that marks Ottawa Public Health’s entry into the mental health field, Leikin says. “We’re new to this in the sense that we’ve just started to make these strong connections in the mental-health area,” he says. “Whereas before Ottawa Public Health was an expert and a leader on various health topics, now mental health is becoming one of them, which is really exciting for us.” The focus for the programs, which could start as soon as January, will be on youth in grades 7 and 8 – the “transition years,” says Nicole Frappier, who is also with Ottawa Public Health. But Ottawa Public Health wants to make suicide part of the dialog with parents starting right at pre-natal classes, Frappier says. It’s an especially pressing issue in Ottawa, where eight per cent of youth have seriously considered trying to kill themselves. That is a significantly higher rate than the rest of Ontario, a city report notes. It’s the type of programming that officials hope will make a difference to families like the Grahams. Now with several courses under her belt, Shelly Graham is learning more about suicide so she does know what to do. Education is key for everyone, including parents, she says. One day, when she’s ready, she hopes to share her knowledge in classrooms. What’s most important, she has learned, is to reach out to people suffering. Though it may be uncomfortable, making the effort to break through could save a person, and spare the web of people who love them. “There’s a real shame that comes with suicide. We will not be ashamed,” says Shelly. “Jesse was an awesome guy and we are going to talk about him. He was loved. Shame is what immobilizes you and it’s what keeps people suffering in silence. “And there’s been enough suffering in silence.”

hen 17-year-old William Ross realized he couldn’t hold back from harming himself, he ran downstairs and asked his mother to drive him to CHEO. Jesse Graham told six people he was thinking about killing himself, says Shelly, Jesse’s mother, but he never spoke to a professional about his demons. The people Jesse told kept it to themselves. Today, William is recovering. Jesse took his own life last summer. It’s a cruel twist of fate that the stories of these two young men, who faced such similar inner struggles, ended so differently. As is the case for many teens struggling with mental health challenges, it often comes down to knowing how to access the resources they need. William, who went through counselling when he was 12, knew. Jesse didn’t. That’s why the first point of contact for most suicidal teens is the hospital emergency room, or a visit from the police, says Dr. Kim Sogge, chief of psychology professional practice at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group. “It’s a real dilemma for families,” she says. Sogge says mental health professionals and agencies in Ontario and Ottawa need to do a better job of educating families and making them aware of the resources available to them. Ben Leikin of Ottawa Public Health couldn’t agree more. He is one of the partners involved with the Community Suicide Prevention Network. The network arose as a result of the growing awareness of suicide that followed the high-profile suicide of 14-yearold Ottawa resident Daron Richardson last fall. The aim is to co-ordinate resources by bringing together the executive directors and decision makers from a range of service providers. After several months of meetings and consultations, the network decided the most pressing issue facing the mental health field in Ottawa is ensuring people are aware of the resources available and how to access them. Leikin pointed out there are a lot of big issues that need to be addressed, like decreasing the stigma that still surrounds these issues, and creating a media awareness campaign to get the message out. But “bigger than those things, or a

OUT OF THE DARKNESS A series about youth suicide Part 3: Mental health professionals and agencies work together for better community awareness big important piece of that, is still how to navigate the system,” Leikin says. “So that’s going to be what we tackle.” The network will be creating “navigation maps” to guide both youth and parents through the mental-health system. “It will go into a bit more detail of how to navigate yourself through the system. It will … provide information about how one could work through it to get the appropriate services,” Leikin says. Sogge says although awareness about

Workshops The Canadian Mental Health Association offers a series of suicide prevention training workshops in Ottawa: SafeTALK: a three-hour • course for people over the age of 15 to help identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide ﬁrst aid resources. The cost is $40 to $60 to take the course. Applied Suicide Interven• tion Skills Training (ASIST): a two-day program offered 20 times a year in Ottawa that teaches suicide ﬁrst-aid skills to anyone who may come into contact with a person at risk, using the most widely-used suicide intervention model in the world. The cost is $180 to take the course. More than 1,000 people take the course every year. For more information call 613737-7791. Ottawa school boards have their own ASIST trainers.

Connecting with resources A new website, www.ementalhealth.ca, is making it easier for people to connect with the mental-health services that are appropriate for them. In addition to having a directory, it is like a Google search for mental health services, said Ben Leikin, mental health project ofﬁcer for Ottawa Public Health. “So if you want to search something like ‘psychologist for a 14-year-old,’ it will bring up private practise psychologists as well as some programs that exists for free. It indicates right on it is there is a fee, if it’s bilingual and where it’s located,” Leikin said. The search also brings up news articles and useful links.

Canada needs a national suicide prevention strategy BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

he biggest item on the wish list of Ted Charette, co-ordinator of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Mobile Crisis and Intake Services, is Canada adopting a national suicide prevention strategy. Canada is the only G-8 country without a national suicide prevention strategy. The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention is working on preparing a national suicide prevention strategy.

“I think it’s starting to gain some weight and some support around the families,” says Charette. “We’ve had a blueprint for many, many years,” says Rene Ouimet, a director of the Canadian Mental Health Association and a member of the Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention. Canada needs a body to co-ordinate suicide prevention programs across the country, said Ouiment. “We keep lobbying,” she said. The Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention released a suicide prevention strategy in 2004.

•

• •

The objectives of the strategy include: Promote awareness across the country that suicide and suicidal behaviour is everyone’s problem and is preventable. Increase the number of employers and volunteer groups that have suicide prevention, intervention and post-intervention programs. Promote understanding that “breaking the silence surrounding suicide increases realistic opportunities to save lives and to reduce suffering. Launch an anti-stigma campaign. Reduce the availability and lethal-

ity of suicide methods (such as guns). • Increase training for recognition of risk factors, warning signs and atrisk behaviours. • Develop a national crisis-line network. • Increase services and support to those bereaved by suicide or who have attempted suicide. • Increase funding for suicide prevention programs. “The only way we’re going to prevent suicide is to talk about it openly and directly,” said Ouimet.

If you’re a teen in crisis or their guardian, the Youth Services Bureau has a free, 24-hour help line. Call 613-260-2360 or 1-877-377-7775 (toll free) crisis@ysb.on.ca

SEPT/OCT

Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our

way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown conﬁdence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying...“We Remember”.

Harvest lanterns to light labyrinth Oct. 1

QUOTE PROMO CODE: BePrepared

ST. PAUL’S ANGLICAN CHURCH ANNUAL HARVEST SUPPER

479431

On the evening of Saturday, Oct. 1, a parade of candlelit lanterns will illuminate the path of Carleton Place’s newly built community labyrinth to celebrate a ‘Harvest Lantern Labyrinth Walk’. The Labyrinth Committee invites the public to join its autumn celebration. Festivities take place at 7 p.m. behind the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum at 267 Edmund St. in Carleton Place. “Thanks to support from Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Town of Carleton Place, and individuals and businesses within our community, a permanent labyrinth now exists for people to use at any time,” says committee chairperson Debby Lytle. “For those who have attended one of our public events before, we invite you to bring out your lanterns and join the evening walk. And, if you are new to the labyrinth experience, Oct. 1 is a perfect chance to visit the site and discover the serenity and simplicity of walking a labyrinth.” The Harvest Lantern Labyrinth Walk is a popular fall event, as families from across the region bring along their festive lanterns and enjoy an evening walk. Along with a candlelit path lit by hundreds of luminaries, expect to find a roaring bonfire, music, and refreshments – all chosen for the harvest theme. Bring along a chair and a lantern (or borrow one of the committee’s) and join members as they celebrate harvest-time with a candlelit lantern walk along the path of the community labyrinth! For more information, call Debby at 613-257-1014. The Labyrinth Committee is a sub-committee of Carleton Place in Bloom.

After a long training sessions and professional exams, Goddard eventually became certified to practice hypnotherapy and NLP. Her career, teaching IT and web design has slowly taken a back seat to her at-home career, with her sessions booking up weeks in advance. She hopes her career will thrive as she enjoys the new community - the move brought her much closer to her family. She said there is a still a lot to be learned about hypnotism, both by experts, and the people that could benefit from it. And while the newly-Almonte based Goddard hopes to have local clients in the near future, her current base is wide-spread across the world. But it doesn’t mean she’s going to change her tactics. “If it were me?” she said, of being hypnotized, “it would be better to get all cosy.” For more information on Louise Goddard, visit www. schooluyourmind.com

Quite often, Louise Goddard’s clients don’t believe her when she says their hour session is over. They have to double check their own personal clocks to make sure she’s telling the truth. It’s a sign of success for Goddard, a hypnotherapist, who works out of her recently rented home in Almonte. It means her client successfully was in a trance - “a fancy name for deep relaxation,” she said. Goddard is certified in both neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy, and has a unique way of delivering it. While most NLP practitioners or hypnotherapists would have clients to their office, Goddard’s offices are all over the world – in England, Australia and the Middle East. She conducts sessions from her home office through telephone and Skype, allowing her clients to sit back and relax where ever they are. They regain consciousness more prepared to deal with a variety of things – obsessive compulsive disorder, mild depression, quitting smoking, confidence in public speaking – and even playing professional hockey. It’s a unique approach in her profession, and not one that many others have taken. After she appeared in wide-spread Canadian media, she started to get calls from other hypnotherapists who were interested. Hypnotherapy isn’t just what you see in the movies, with a hypnotherapist ticking a pendulum

in front of a client’s face. Goddard has her own scripts she uses to put her clients at ease, before moving into the dialogue. “I don’t say ‘don’t eat chocolate cake,’” Goddard said, of a script for someone trying to kick a sugar habit. “You say ‘I want to eat whole, natural, healthy foods.” Goddard isn’t a psychologist or psychotherapist, but someone who works on building new pathways in the brain. “It’s changes they want to make,” she said.

The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears defeated the Carleton Place Jr. A Canadians 6-4 to pick up their first win of the season on Friday, Sept. 23, at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. The Bears had their most dominant performance of the season, heading into the final nine minutes of play up 6-1. Carleton Place forward Jay Llewelyn got his team fired up by scoring with less than six minutes left in regulation. The Canadians scored two more goals before the end of the game to make the score more respectable. “We played well,” Smiths Falls’ Matt Robertson said. “We just stuck to our systems.” Photo by Andrew Snook Robertson scored the game-winning Elias Ghantous holds off a Smiths Falls forward for goalie Joe Yetman goal with two seconds left in the second in the first period of the Canadians game against the Bears. period, after he stole the puck on a Carleton Place rush, skated into the CanaBRIER DODGE with the team holding off Kempdians’ end and fired a high wrist shot tville until Kyle Phillips scored brier.dodge@metroland.com past goaltender Joe Yetman. in the second to pad their lead Yetman was pulled after the second The Canadians had an easy to 3-0. period after allowing five goals on 28 time in dominating Kemptville Anthony McVeigh and Jay shots.

Mudds youth learn to turn a phrase Shakespearian style MISSISSIPPI MUDDS Fourteen young people from the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre are currently in rehearsals for Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which they will be performing in the round at the Carleton Place Town Hall in October. Why would a group of teenagers try to do something as challenging as this particular play? Director Mark Piper, who is currently taking his actors through their lines and their blocking at a church hall in Carleton Place, says the mystique of the Bard actually helped draw young actors into the production. “Yes, I have to say that the words ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Shakespeare’ were kind of a magnet to a lot of these young actors,” says Piper. “They wanted to test themselves against that sort of challenge.” First, there was the challenge of knowing what all those strange Shakespearian words meant. “I had fun reading many of the witches’ lines to the actors during the early rehearsals, just to get their reactions – ‘Aroint thee witch, the rump-fed runion cries!’ was one of my favourites. You should have seen the looks on their faces,” he laughs. But all the actors have done their homework by now. They

Members of the Macbeth cast rehearse at St. Mary’s Church. From left are director Mark Piper and Hayley Fortier as Porter, Macbeth’s drunken ‘butler’, comic relief after the murder of the king. know what all the words – and speeches – mean. And now they’ve gotten used to performing in the round, having an audience all around them, rather than standing on a stage, looking out. For many of them, it meant learning a new way of acting. Piper explains: “I saw it first with Hayley Fortier – who plays the Porter, the comic relief just after the murder of the king. She started to do her lines bit by bit, turning every so often in order to make sure she talked to someone on each side of the audience. Now, a third of the way through rehearsals, the entire

cast has become quite comfortable being surrounded by their audience.” These young actors gather together to perform these scenes in rehearsal, learning from each other what each character’s needs and wants are. Jack Cruise (Macbeth) and Jessica Kinnari (Lady Macbeth) are working together to convey the sense of the couple’s malice, ambition, and fear on the night of the murder. “It will really be intense to see them do it with all the stage blood on their hands, I think.”

He chuckles, and adds, “for me, especially, since I’ve got a cameo in the piece as the king that they kill!” And the actors are also becoming quick to turn a phrase, since Macbeth has some of the most quotable lines in theatre: “Something wicked this way comes! “Is this a dagger I see before me? “Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. “But who would have thought the old man would have so much blood in him?

“Yes, it’s great to hear them do those lines,” says Piper. “And it’s even better because, for some of them, it’s the first time they’ve heard them – for me, sometimes, it’s like hearing Shakespeare for the first time.” Tickets are on sale at Arts Carleton Place, 132 Coleman St. for three performances at the Carleton Place Town Hall, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 22 at 2 and 7 p.m. Call 613-257-2031.

Beating the bushes for neighbourly solution Residents seek better barrier between houses, Franktown Road development DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – Residents of Knox Street don’t want to beat around the bush. The Town of Carleton Place and the developers of the proposed apartment building development at 400 Franktown Rd. are asking the row of bushes and trees at the back of the property be maintained. Many residents, however, feel this is not enough of a deterrent to trespassers. The current plan does not envision a fence at the back of the property, but instead foresees maintaining the current row of trees and hedges. “The existing trees are being maintained,” said Lisa Young, the town’s director of planning and development at the community issues committee meeting Tuesday, Sept. 20. “It is a natural buffer between the building and the single family dwellings on Knox Street.” In fact, Young noted there are plans for additional vegetation will be added. Some Knox Street residents however want to see a fence. “They (kids) are constantly running through my property to cut to the park,” said Knox Street resident Tracey Doherty. “I would like a fence built on the site.”

A construction sign warns of construction at the intersection at Highway 7 and Franktown Road. There could soon be construction at 400 Franktown Rd. as well, with a proposal for an apartment building. Doherty was not alone in her feelings. “This buffer zone is one of our biggest concerns,” said Wayne Gorman. “We have to have a fence … (But) my biggest concern is our privacy. We must stop the people going through. We have a big, big problem now with people trespassing.” The committee heard the privacy fence along Coleman Street is seven feet, while the fence along McNeely Avenue is eight feet tall, the tallest allowed by the town’s bylaws. “It can’t be barbed-wire or electrical,” joked Young.

Developer John Gibson appeared to open the door towards considering a fence as the public meeting progressed. “We can remove any trees that are in the way of a fence,” said Gibson. The apartment building will be three storeys tall, with 27 units, six fewer than the apartment building to the south. There will be three bachelor units, six one-bedroom units, and 18 two-bedroom units. “Why can’t the size of the building be reduced and parkland be added in,” wondered resident Kevin Hogan. “Parkland is for the enjoyment of the entire community.” While a portion of the property will be developed for to accommodate the 41 parking spots (with seven visitor spots, four handicapped spots) with the about five per cent of the current value of the property to be paid to the town in-lieu of parkland, Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg agreed with the need for green space on the site. “We would rather have the green space than the cash,” said Sonnenburg. Some residents also expressed con-

cerns the parking would be situated at the back of the building. “We want to make sure that parking is not out in front of the buildings,” said Young. But there would be a roadway to ensure cars still have access to Franktown Road, a main arterial road. Some residents also expressed concerns the lights from cars entering the parking lot would shine into their bedrooms at night. Hogan also expressed dismay at the lack of pedestrian access from the intersection of Franktown Road and Findlay Avenue to Highway 7. “We are looking at that issue right now,” said Mayor Wendy LeBlanc. Sonnenburg also expressed concerns about the placement of a fire hydrant on the property. “The fact that the fire hydrant is at the back concerns me,” said Sonnenburg. “It should be at the front of the building.” “One of the reasons why we can’t put a fire hydrant at the front of the building is because the (water) pipe is at the back,” said Coun. Gary Strike, of the pipe coming from Knox Street.

CARLETON PLACE – The Lanark Live Poets Society (LiPS) has something to prove. “We’re the only rural group that participates at the national level,” said Leigh Gibson, herself a poet, and part of the governing group that oversees LiPS. “All of the other teams that compete are urban. Maybe we’re the only ones who have met the criteria.”

Gibson was speaking at a fundraiser Saturday at C.P. Cinemas, where the group was seeking to narrow the $450 gap left to provide for food and accommodation for those attending the national championships in Toronto. That does not include travel costs. The evening also featured the very unique musical stylings of local band Professor LeStrange and His Band of Degenerates, featuring musicians Jason King (guitar, vocals), Derek Leonard (beats, keys) and lead vocalist Andrew

Even a moose visits naturalists canoe camp CLIFF BENNETT Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists

Magical, loaded with glowing memories of beautiful weather, full moonlight glittering across mirror-like waters of Grand Lake, colourful sunsets and lasting comradeship. All these describe the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ very successful fourth annual canoe camp held Friday, Sept. 9 to Monda,y Sept. 12. The four-day camp took place at the Achray site on the eastern side of Algonquin Park and was deemed an unqualified success by all 39 participants. Occupying eight campsites, all in close proximity to each other, individual tents and a huge dining shelter were all erected and canoes parked at the edge of the beautiful white-sand beach, ready for action. By Friday evening all was ready for the first of three group dinners and camaraderie. After dishes were washed and food stowed away in vehicles, all gathered around the first of three campfires, for chatting, singing and lots of laughter. The theme of this year’s camp was ‘Seeing Nature From the Water’s Edge’ and nature didn’t disappoint the group. Thirty species of birds and 14 different mammals and amphibians were logged,

most while out on the water during three different canoe treks. Many wildflowers and insects also captured the group’s interest. On the water, the group launched an impressive flotilla of 16 canoes and seven kayaks. The first trek followed the shores of Grand Lake into Carcajou Bay to a set of interesting rapids. There the paddlers beached their vessels, explored the area, swam and ate lunch. Birds listed included loons, great blue herons, wood ducks, spotted sandpipers and kingfishers. Out on Grand Lake on the return trip, many cormorants and a few herring gulls were spotted. The second day brought the paddlers through a small portage into Stratton Lake. At the end of this long seven-kilometre lake, the quest was the famous High Falls. Here the group poured over the broken rocky area between small pools and rushing water falls, enjoying lunch and a refreshing plunge down a smooth rock slide to the pool below. Many exciting observations were recorded, including a bald eagle, osprey, Cooper’s hawk, flicker, pileated woodpecker, a flotilla of common mergansers, pine and yellow-rumped warblers and a hummingbird. Also noted were river otters, a couple of painted turtles and a mink. See ‘VISITORS’ Page 45

Volunteer drivers make local cancer patient’s life much easier

ust three days after getting home from a cancer operation early this year, and shortly before he was scheduled to begin cancer treatments, Ken McBeath suffered a stroke that left him unable to drive to treatments in Ottawa. Ken lives on Otty Lake near Perth. His wife, May, doesn’t drive in Ottawa, and while a couple of neighbours offered their services, the McBeaths had another form of rescue – the Canadian Cancer Society’s volunteer-driver program. “I don’t know how to put it into words,” Ken stressed. “I don’t think we could have managed – it would have been much more difﬁcult (without the volunteer drivers).” In Ken’s case, drivers had to make a greater commitment, with his sessions at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital lasting four hours at a time. Some sessions can be as short as half an hour, but Ken worked his way through 12 four-hour sessions once every two weeks for six months. “Normally, they can get two to three people in the vehicle and do them at one time,” he explained. “But often, we were the only people driving with that particular driver.” Ken and May both highlight the importance of the volunteer drivers, and the cancer society’s program. “They were wonderful,” May said. “Sometimes we would get called in at seven in the morning (for blood tests) – one fellow went to Parliament Hill, another went to Bayshore.” In their experience, Ken and May, who went along for moral support, found that the drivers were mainly retired people who wanted to help people with cancer. The drivers, Ken said, know exactly where to go and how to make the drive easier. “They’re very compassionate, these people,” May added. In their 30 years on Otty Lake, the McBeaths have raised two sons and made friends. Their sons, however, now live in Edmonton and Texas, leaving them with difﬁculty after Ken had his stroke. “Our nearest (relatives) are probably in Scotland,” Ken admitted. “One of two of our neighbours along the road had offered

to drive us, but we didn’t like to ask them to do it on a regular basis.” The mission of the Canadian Cancer Society is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of those living with cancer. Since 2 in 5 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, this has a major effect on the future of our clients. Transportation can be a barrier to treatment.

In 2010, the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society helped 953 adults and 13 children with transportation to cancer treatments, amounting to 404,701 kilometres by the local unit’s 400 volunteer drivers. An average of 24 new clients are registered each month to use the transportation service. The average cost to transport a client to one treatment is $60, while the average for 7 weeks of treatment is $840. How can you help? We are asking you to support the Wheels of Hope program by sponsoring local patients today. If you would like to make a donation to Wheels of Hope, or ﬁnd out more about becoming a volunteer driver, please call the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society at 613-267-1058. Ken ﬁnished his treatments about a month ago, giving him an abbreviated summer to work on his multi-year retirement project – a full-size wooden boat built from scratch. The Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society is pleased to partner with Lake 88.1 FM, Metroland Media and BrockNews as sponsors of Wheels of Hope.

Continued from Page 44 Around the campsite we spotted many blue jays, a robin, turkey vulture, ruffed and spruce grouse. A red-bellied snake was caught, photographed and released. The magic of fading light across the lake brought out a whip-poor-will, which could be heard from the opposite shore. Loons heralded mournful calls and bats began their swoops across the warm water searching for flying insects. A few flocks of Canada geese sailed into view. Visitors were a feature of the camp. At Saturday evening’s campfire, a resident from Clayton area, Karen Lamb (along with her family and a visiting French exchange student) came from a neighbouring campsite and entertained the group with guitar and songs. Sunday’s surprise was a couple from Germany on their very first visit to Canada. They were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and joined the naturalists for dinner and campfire. But, the most surprising visitor was a huge bull moose with an impressive seven-foot rack. Out came the cameras for this one. In all, the participants in this year’s camp were appreciative of the organizational skills of the camp committee: Arne Snyder of the Ashton area who chaired the camp committee, Doug

Younger-Lewis of Almonte who was in charge of registrations and park communications, and Howard Robinson of Clayton, who organized the daily program. Cliff Bennett was in charge of site layout and camp safety. MVFN president Joyce Clinton presented each with a gift of appreciation at the Sunday campfire. Other thanks go to Grahame Hunt, Ottawa, who conducted a canoe safety course on the first night of camp, and Ron Williamson, Almonte, who contributed much to the camp’s success, having been to this area 39 times with school groups. The camp was struck early Monday morning and, on the way home, over half the paddlers enjoyed the best feature of all, a paddle up the Barron River through the Barron Canyon. Others enjoyed the hike on the Barron Canyon Trail. Found during the paddle, was a small flock of gray jays, an Algonquin Park specialty. The concluding thoughts of the group were that next year’s MVFN canoe camp should be at the same location. The final event of the MVFN 2011 canoeing program will be the annual Fall Colours Paddle Sunday, Oct. 2. This paddle will be organized by MVFN member Grahame Hunt and will be on Photo by Doug Younger-Lewis Bennett Lake west of Fallbrook.

Multiple votes, confusion brings end to McNeely Avenue fence saga DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – The Town of Carleton Place will enforce its property standards bylaw for the downed fence along McNeely Avenue, but not before a night of bureaucratic wrangling and re-votes at town council. The issue of how to proceed with the fence along McNeely Avenue, which had been downed during a storm several months ago, was discussed at great length at council’s planning and protection committee meeting Sept. 6. Coun. Louis Antonakos, however, felt that some questions about the issue had not been answered to his satisfaction. When it came time to vote on approved the committee meeting minutes and actions at the town council meeting on Sept. 13, Antonakos asked that the item as a whole proceed, but that the agenda item dealing with the McNeely Avenue fence be held. The vote was defeated three to two. “This is highly unusual,” said a stunned Antonakos. “I am simply asking that an item be pulled for further discussion … It allows us a sober second

Coun. Louis Antonakos thought.” “We’ve pulled items from the agenda before at an appropriate time,” said Coun. Rob Probert. “We’ve spent about an hour on this subject in the last meeting.” Town clerk, Duncan Rogers, in consultation with Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, decided to ask council the same question again. “The council was unclear about what they were doing,” said Rogers. On the second vote, council voted to approve the committee report, minus the section dealing with the McNeely Avenue fence, by a vote of three to two, with councillors Doug Black and Jerry Flynn opposed, and councillors Probert, Antonakos,

and Gary Strike in favour. “It’s important to have a town clerk who is well versed in parliamentary procedure,” said LeBlanc. “Council is the opportunity for sober second thoughts. It was a lot of work to deal with one issue.” During the debate on the fence, the town’s chief administrative officer, Paul Knowles, pointed out where the town stood on asking homeowners to resurrect their portion of the fence on the street’s east side. “The subdivision agreement is that there has to be a fence,” said Knowles. “You’re not free to do whatever type of fence you want. It has to look like your neighbours’ fence … At other locations it is not a condition, (but) it was embedded in the subdivision agreement.” Antonakos, however, pressed as to how uniformity of texture, size and quality could be maintained. “We’re going to ask people to fix their fence and it may not look like their neighbours’ fence?” Antonakos asked. “It does not mean that enforcement will be easy,” said Knowles. “We’re not coming from a position of strength on this,” said

Flynn of enforcing the bylaw. “We’ve been waiting for this for four months.” “This is something we could have done some time ago,” admitted Knowles. Flynn noted there were public meetings for residents to come to some agreement on what should be done with the subdivision fence. But, after two meetings, no consensus emerged. “It’s not because people were away, they just chose not to do that,” said Flynn. LeBlanc agreed that, at the second public meeting, the twothirds majority required were not in attendance. “It lowers the standards and values of the property,” said Strike, of the image of seeing fencing still down along McNeely. “I don’t think we need to be apologetic about it in the least,” said Probert. “We presented a very generous deal to the community.” However, LeBlanc was adamant that “we can get it looking (like) a linear fence … without holes in it.” “It’s a lousy looking fence, no matter what we do,” said Flynn. “If that’s our property standards, then they’re very low.”

Ultimately, the McNeely Avenue fence debate closed with only Antonakos voting against the decision. However, after Antonakos’ and Black’s votes had been cast, Flynn interjected in the midst of voting to ask what the council’s other options were. Later that evening, the town passed its long-awaited corporate communications strategy, which included a discussion about use of social media, and allowing town council meetings to be televised. “It shows how we handle things in a democratic fashion,” LeBlanc said about televised proceedings and how they would have appeared on a community cable access station. “I have no problem with any members of the public seeing what transpired here,” said Antonakos. “I do want it televised … The day we can’t communicate with each other and ask questions is a bad day.” Council heard that a single, stationary camera covering the night’s proceedings would cost about $10,000 a year, while getting a TV station like Rogers or Cogeco, for example, to cover the meeting would cost about $50,000 a year.
