Thousands raised for Beckwith family who lost home to fire

BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

For Beckwith’s Eden family, September started with hardship, but it is ending with a reminder of the tremendous good in their community.

Hometown Hearts, a Carleton Place group, hosted a barbecue fundraiser for Diana Eden and her three children: William, Alexander and Laura Eden, on Sept. 20, held outside The Beckwith Butcher in Carleton Place. An outstanding $3,500 was raised for the family, along with $500 in gift cards.

“It was a fantastic day,” Hometown Hearts president Lisa Occomore told the Canadian Gazette. “Once again, it showed us how many amazing people we have in this community and the communities surrounding us.”

Furthermore, a message on the group’s Facebook page stated: “Today, we showed strength to people going through a hard time. We showed community. We showed caring, and we showed without a sense of caring there would be no sense of community. To our volunteers, musicians, schools and the people in this town and beyond who stepped up together today to make a difference for strangers ... this absolutely holds my heart and makes me proud to call all of this

our home. What an amazing and wonderful community we have.”

The mission of Hometown Hearts: To support our community, the people in the community and to bring a whole new vibe to Carleton Place and surrounding area.

In addition to the donation from Hometown Hearts, Kory Earle of Carleton Place’s Christmas Day committee presented the family with $250.

Moreover, students from Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, which is where Laura attends classes, arrived on scene with a $4,100 cheque, which was raised by way of various fundraisers since the fire.

“Thank you so much for everything,” an emotional Diana said at the barbecue.

She referred to the outpouring of support as “incredible.”

The family has received donations of clothing, shoes, gift and gas cards, toiletries and so much more.

“I cannot believe it,” Diana said.

“Thank you!”

Devastating fire The Eden family lost everything after fire destroyed their home at 344 Balmoral Dr. in Beckwith around 10:45 p.m. on Sept. 11. The cause of See FAMILY page A/CP12

Hugh Colton is gearing up for the six-week Build a Mountain of Food campaign that services food banks across Lanark County and into Leeds Grenville.

With a new title sponsor, Hinton Auto Group, the 11th annual running of this colossal fundraising effort will kick off early next month with the official launch in Perth.

Colton has been busy lining up his stops and touching base with the hundreds of people who make this work.

“I couldn’t do this without the huge amount of support that I get,” he said from Smiths Falls Nissan, one of the four dealerships under the Hinton Auto Group umbrella.

The other three dealerships include Smiths Falls Ford, and in Perth, Hinton Dodge and A & B Ford.

“We’re really looking forward to this event,” said Kevin Hinton from Smiths Falls Nissan. “This is a great opportunity for us to be able to work with Hugh on this — whatever he needs, we will be there.”

Hinton said it was also a great opportunity for the Hinton Auto Group to get even more involved in the community and to work alongside those volunteers at filling the food bank shelves.

Colton said the campaign will start in Almonte and Carleton Place on Nov. 4, at the various grocery stores involved. Then they will break for a week to honour veterans and families on Remembrance Day. “We won’t be doing a collection on Nov. 11, which is a Saturday this year, so we can honour our vets,” Colton said. “We will pick it up the following week, Nov. 18, in Lanark and Perth.”

Then it’s off to Smiths Falls on Nov. 25, then into Elgin and Westport on Dec. 2, Portland and Merrickville on Dec. 9, and will finish in Athens and Delta on Dec. 16.

“We’ll also be recreating the float for three parades this year,” Colton said. “We’ll be in Carleton Place Nov. 25, Perth Dec. 2 and Smiths Falls Dec. 9.”

And something a little extra special this year will be an event in Portland during the drive weekend there.

“On Dec. 15, we’ll gather together for a Portland Community Christmas and have a family night,” Colton said.

“This night is dedicated to him.”

This is to honour Doug Good and Mike Carty, who were instrumental with Build a Mountain, and many other activities in their community. The former Rideau Lakes councillor Good, and his friend Carty, died in March this year when crossing the Big Rideau Lake in a vehicle that subsequently went through the ice. Both men drowned.

“Doug did a lot of work with me,” Colton said. “He was my go-to guy. Anything I needed, I just asked Doug and it all worked out. He was a great community volunteer and a good friend. Both men contributed to Build a Mountain, and in their community."

Over the past 10 years, the Build a Mountain of Food campaign has garnered over 720,000 pounds of food and $372,000 cash for the 11 food banks in this community.

Last year, the drive collected 164,695 pounds of food and nearly $109,000 in cash donations. That’s a far cry from its humble beginnings in Perth only where $3,200 cash was collected along with about 5,000 pounds of food.

“I’m humbled by the amount of tremendous community support that has happened from year one,” said Colton.

“People are so generous during this campaign because they know their donations will stay right in the community where it was given. People care. They understand there is a need and continue to fill those shelves every year.”

Please watch a future issue (or www.insideottawavalley. com) as more details about dates, places and times will be revealed, as we talk about the launch in a few weeks.

Actions for economic development plan coming The team leading the county-wide economic development strategic planning process is set to update stakeholders throughout the region at a meeting Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. in Lanark County Council chambers.

Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, Lanark County and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are leading the process, and the leadership team is ready to provide a progress report and to see the draft action plans that have come from data analysis, local knowledge and stakeholder input. All economic development stakeholders throughout the region are invited to attend.

“We are well over the halfway mark in the process of developing the strategic plan,” says Stacie Lloyd, Regional Economic Development Officer for Valley Heartland. “The collaborative process began in May, and we are on track to have the plan completed in November with a roadmap to guide activities and help make decisions on future economic development programs and services for the county.”

All local municipalities have been taking part and driving the process through leadership teams and working groups consisting of more than 40 local business owners, retired business owners, hospital board members, politicians, municipal staff, economic developers and entrepreneurs. Broader participation has included interviews and an online questionnaire with community and economic development stakeholders throughout the region. More than 338 questionnaire responses were received from business owners, residents, a few students and more than 30 economic development/service or-

ganizations representing an even larger number of respondents.

“In addition to sharing their ideas of what makes Lanark County a great place to live, work and play, stakeholders provided excellent comments on areas to improve and ways to help Lanark County thrive,” Ms. Lloyd said. “The four dedicated working groups have been very engaged throughout the process, with the latest working group established to analyze stakeholder input and develop the evidence-based action plans for the plan.”

Common themes include support for entrepreneurs, business retention and expansion, planning for growth and investment, and foundational community economic development, with many areas of overlap and interconnectedness.

“We appreciate the thoughtful input from all respondents and the municipal leadership teams,” Ms. Lloyd added. “Their feedback has helped to identify strengths to build on, our competitive advantage, areas to focus efforts and common themes.”

“The input and collaboration of everyone involved in this process will go a long way to ensure we have a strong economic development strategic plan,” said Warden Bill Dobson (Montague Reeve). “I encourage stakeholders to come to the meeting on Oct. 5 to further contribute to the draft action plans for a strong economic future for our county.”

Updates on the strategic planning process can be found at http://valleycfdc.com/strategic-planning/. For more information, contact Ms. Lloyd at 613-283-7002 ext. 106 or e-mail EcDev@valleycfdc.com.

What if … you could produce your own power and sell it to the grid on a 20 year Government Contract for a profit? You can with the Ontario MicroFIT program which ends Dec 28, 2017.

This is the last chance to get paid actual cash for generating Solar electricity with the MicroFIT program. New customers need to apply by December 1, 2017 and get approved by the end of the year. Installation will be in the spring of 2018 in time for the summer’s sun.

If you have a large roof that is relatively shade free you could earn as much as $300 per month with a cost as little as $160 per month if amortized over 20 years.

At the end of the MicroFIT program you would own a solar energy system that is generating free electricity for your home.

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month. On Tuesday, Oct. 24, communities across Ontario will dress in purple to break the silence and show their commitment to children’s rights to safety and well-being. On Dress Purple Day, we acknowledge that it takes a village to keep kids safe. Everybody in the community plays a role in supporting children’s rights.

Children’s aid societies will be working collaboratively during October for Child Abuse Prevention Month and Dress Purple Day with boards of education, key partners in supporting the safety and well-being of children and youth. Schools play an important role in keeping children safe and in helping families that may need support to help keep their children safe.

Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville (FCSLLG) has invited all elementary and secondary schools in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville to participate in Dress Purple Day on Oct. 24. We have asked school staff and students to dress in purple, talk about children’s rights to safety and well-being, and tweet a photo of the school/classes dressed in purple with the hashtag #iBREAKtheSilence.

On Oct. 24, FCSLLG will host a Dress Purple Barbecue event at both our Brockville (438 Laurier Blvd.) and Perth (8 Herriott St.) office locations between 11:30 and 1 p.m. FCSLLG staff, foster parents, school board personnel, and the media are invited to share a barbecue lunch together in support of Child Abuse Prevention Month.

About Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville Child safety is our top priority. FCSLLG protects children so they can grow up safe from abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect.

FCSLLG is a non-profit organization that serves children and families in the counties of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville and their surrounding areas. We are commonly referred to as a child welfare services agency or a children’s aid society.

We have a role under the law.

We support families when they need it and, when required, take the necessary steps to make sure children are protected. We carry out our work under the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, which requires us to investigate possible abuse or neglect of children and ensure the safety of those who need protection.

SMITHS FALLS KIA

Presence of West Nile virus found locally in mosquitoes The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has been actively monitoring mosquitoes for West Nile virus this season. Recent sampling has identified positive mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus. Earlier this season, neighbouring health units including Ottawa, eastern Ontario (Cornwall) and KFLA (Kingston) Public Health have identified positive mosquitoes.

This virus is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. For most people, the risk of illness from West Nile virus is low. However, it can cause serious illness in others.

With the recent warm temperatures mosquitoes have remained active late in the season. The Health Unit recommends that you take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites.

The following measures can help reduce the risk of West Nile virus: Apply insect repellents sparingly to exposed skin. Effective repellents contain Deet or Icaridin. Be sure to follow directions and use age appropriate concentrations. DO NOT USE

RECYCLE!

personal insect repellents on children under two years of age.

Wear light-coloured clothing, long pants and long sleeves, as well as shoes and socks during peak mosquito times to prevent mosquito bites.

Avoid being outside at dusk and dawn, as mosquitoes are most active at that time.

Use netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure and to protect small babies from insect bites.

Repair or replace old and torn screens in doors, windows, and vents that no longer prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.

Consult your health care provider if you suspect that you have an insect transmittable disease such as West Nile virus.

More information regarding this disease and its symptoms can be found on our website http:// www.healthunit.org/westnile/. You can also call 1-800-660-5853 or connect with LGLHealthunit on Facebook and Twitter.

Challenge, change and conquer the message behind Take Back the Night

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) executive director Erin Lee may be discouraged, but she’s not about to give up fighting for women and children in abusive situations.

Lee spoke during the organization’s annual Take Back the Night vigil and march in Carleton Place’s Town Hall Square Sept. 21. The event, a fixture in the town for 10 years, drew a large crowd who gathered to reflect on lives lost due to violence and protest harassment, sexual abuse and assault.

“Tonight, I reflect on what has happened since the 2015 Wilno murders, the murder suicides, the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls and the most recent Ashley Kulp/Metroland attempt murder in Almonte on Sept. 20, 2017,” Lee said. Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) executive direcAshley Kulp/Metroland “What can I tell you? Women continue to die at the hands tor Erin Lee, right, speaks about the See it, Name it, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) held its annual Take Back the of their abusers.

But things are starting to change, according to Lee. People are beginning to bring the topics of rape culture, protest unity, truth and reconciliation into the light by talking about them. “But more importantly, we’re taking action,” she said.

LCIH has taken action through partnerships to create mixed housing options in Lanark County for safe and affordable housing for women and children, as well as an upcoming video project with Algonquin College. Another successful initiative is the See it, Name it, Change it campaign launched by the organization and agency partners this past May. It was unveiled May 10 at the Lanark County community services committee meeting in Perth and the message

Breast cancer causes and risk factors

Research into breast cancer has shown that its origins include a variety of potential causes and risk factors. Although many of them are biological and non-preventable, some others can be eliminated, prevented or controlled by changing certain lifestyle habits.

You can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by changing some of your lifestyle habits.

Non-preventable causes The physical causes of breast cancer that have been identified are as follows: • Age (increased risk after the age of 50) • High breast density • A personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer • Genetic mutations associated with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes • Taking the postmenopausal hormones es­ trogen and progesterone • A history of benign breast disease (cysts, hyperplasia) • The early onset of menstruation or late onset of menopause

Preventable factors

On the other hand, some causes of breast cancer are closely related to personal lifestyle choices.

Here is a partial list: • Alcohol consumption • The use of oral contraceptives for several years • Physical inactivity (a sedentary lifestyle) • Excess weight and obesity in adulthood • Smoking and prolonged exposure to second­ hand smoke • Late pregnancy (after the age of 30) Please note that these risk factors are not all equally weighted. Get all the information you need about your particular circumstances before changing your lifestyle. It’s always a good idea to consult a health professional as well.

is simple – when you see an act of violence, speak out.

Lee noted the idea came about as a result of lives lost across three different counties in rural eastern Ontario. “…We teach our kids about fire and we tell them they’ve got to ‘stop, drop and roll,’ and it seemed to have worked in a lot of cases,” she elaborated on the reason behind the campaign’s name. “We need something to feed our kids. We need something to feed our aging communities and our elders. We need something to feed people to talk about at the dining room table, in our faith groups, on our streets…”

Only by naming an act or comment, can change be made.

“I know you see it. When you see it, I challenge you to name it and it’s hard. I had a conversation with one of our local politicians before the vigil started and it’s hard to know what to do, but we need to err on the side of safety. We need to err on the side of preservation of life. We need to take those chances and we need to take a stand.”

Since the launch, billboards have

$625

been erected in Lanark County, Lennox and Addington and Leeds-Grenville, a Facebook page has been created, along with radio ad spots and bumper stickers.

With all the positives, Lee said more needs to be done and “we must re-establish ourselves as a movement” and go forward with a unified voice.

“We need to forge ahead consistently and decide to navigate as ‘we,’ not ‘me’ and to invest in ‘us,’ not ‘you.’

We need to be an unstoppable movement with an insatiable appetite to challenge, to change and to conquer,” she commented. “When we listen, we can also be heard. When we speak united, our voice echoes further…and when our force becomes an army of courage, only then can meaningful permanent change happen.”

Attending the Take Back the Night march is one way to fight for women’s equality rights, but Lee said that alone isn’t enough. People must challenge themselves and ask what they desire their legacy to be.

“I speak to you tonight as a bi-racial woman who is a mother, a partner, a daughter, an auntie, a leader and an advocate,” she stated. “…Together, we must speak for those women currently

living in abusive situations, respect their fear and for crying out loud, can we just embrace it like it’s our own?

We need to recognize as friends and family and community members that when we know better, we do better.”

How can change happen? Lee said by challenging the systems and working alongside government leaders progress can be made. And LCIH will be there every step of the way.

“We must be shaken, we must be outraged and we must unite and work together if we’re going to make anything different,” she stressed. “I promise you that Lanark County Interval House, as long as I’m the ED, will remain vigilant in the fight to end all forms of violence against women and their children. We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. Alone, we are strong, but together we are unstoppable and united and I believe that we will never be defeated.”

In addition to a march down Bridge Street, the evening paid tribute to area women who lost their lives due to violence with a vigil that involved local residents and politicians placing flowers of remembrance in the Mississippi River.

COMMENTARY

When winning is losing

A

recent report from provincial police in Quinte West serves as a reminder to use caution when someone visits your home and is unknown.

We'd like to think that the vast majority of visitors/strangers do not have criminal motives, but it pays to be prepared for the exceptions.

An elderly homeowner reported to police that she had received a call from an unknown female who claimed the homeowner had won a $500 gift card, and that a representative would deliver the card.

An unknown male showed up later that day and presented a gift card, which police determined later was counterfeit and had no value. The homeowner reportedly overheard the male talking on his phone and saying that the residence has a lock box containing a key. The male then left the home.

The OPP release includes a description of the male and the vehicle he was

driving.

Anyone in this newspaper’s coverage area who receives a similar call might want to keep this story in mind and to resist any urge to welcome a stranger bearing gifts that are false.

Call provincial or municipal police in your community and share your experience to reduce the risk that others could become victims.

Even if you are not asked to pay in order to claim a prize (which is a red flag), allowing a stranger to visit your home to deliver something of which you had no prior knowledge might be an attempt by a criminal to "case the joint" and come back when you're not there to steal anything of value that is noticed during that initial visit.

There is something to the saying about some things being too good to be true.

As much as we like to win, there are some alleged prizes that just aren't worth it and that could end up costing a considerable amount in the long run.

other said I was old enough. There were many little chores I was already doing, like keeping the wood box full, and making sure the pan under the icebox didn’t overflow.

And now Mother said I was old enough to make butter! I was both delighted and annoyed. Delighted because this was a very important job, and annoyed because we always churned on Saturday morning, and this new chore was certainly going to cut into my playtime.

My sister Audrey, who up to then, was in charge of the churning, was more than happy to give it up. I certainly didn’t have to be taught how to do it. Goodness knows I watched

Audrey every Saturday, and to me, all I had to do was sit on a chair, with the churn between my knees, and plop the plunger up and down in the cream until I made butter.

It was an early Fall day when Mother announced that was the Saturday when I would take on this new chore.

The churn had been rolled into the kitchen, very carefully, because it was half full of cream, and a chair put in front of it. I was ready to begin. But Mother said I would have to put on a big pinny, and it didn’t take me long to find out why.

I had watched Audrey often enough to know that you simply grabbed the plunger with both hands and pumped until you could feel butter forming

and since I was so much shorter than Audrey, much of it hit me square in the eyes, and the front of the pinny was soon covered too. Audrey said going faster did nothing to hasten the butter. She was right... in the bottom of the churn. So I pulled up a chair, wrapped my bony knees around the churn, and began. Plop, plop, plop.

I speeded up the pace, figuring the faster I went, the sooner I would be finished.

The lid on the churn had a hole in the center big enough to give the plunger lots of room.

It didn’t take me long to find out why I had to don the big flour-bag pinny. The cream splashed up through the hole,

Fall boating takes a bit more care out on the water

going to keel over in a heap on the kitchen floor.

And then it happened. The plunger was no longer splashing cream out the opening in the lid. It got heavier and heavier to pound, even Mother and Audrey who were doing other things in the kitchen, knew that the moment had come. They could tell by the sound! My arms felt like lead. Mother came over and lifted the lid, peered inside, and said, “Well, good for you, Mary. You have made your first batch of butter.”

The rest of the job would be up to my sister and Mother. With a big flat wood scoop, the butter was moved to the largest bowl we owned, and without measuring, Mother tossed in some salt. The butter was mixed and mixed until it was to Mother’s liking, and then pressed into the butter mold. Packed down until it was a solid mass, the butter was then released from the mold onto waxed paper. Audrey said it was exactly a pound when it came out.

It would be wrapped and put in the ice box, some of it peddled door to door in Renfrew, and the rest of it used on our own table.

I had never been so tired in my life. I went over to the creton couch by the stove, and stretched out, aching from top to bottom. I figured it was too soon to try to barter with my sister to change back to her making the butter, and me doing something that didn’t wear me down to a dishrag. Mother could see the state I was in, but instead of giving me sympathy she said, “each Saturday it will get easier. You’ll see.” I didn’t believe her for a minute.

And I wondered how long it would take for that feeling of accomplishment for a job well done that Mother always talked about, would hit me.

LETTER

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some additional precautions to keep from running into trouble.

Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence.

Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpected happen and the boater find himself in the water.

Accidental cold water immersion can be shocking, but they shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after the initial shock but they will have at least 10-15 minutes, even in very cold water, to affect self-rescue before they start to lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This is where an approved lifejacket, either inflatable or inherently buoyant, is an essential part of a

boater’s wardrobe to keep them afloat after they can no longer swim.

In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be stranded out on the water.

It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechani-

cally sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. Fuel sold at marinas is ethanol free. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve.

“Spectacular colours, peaceful solitude and the crispness of the air make boating in the fall a wondrous experience,” says John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council.

campaign that has taken off from there. (See on YouTube: “Lyle Dillabough-Proud Canadians-studio version 2000”).

While doing an interview recently on a valley radio station the idea came to me to ask folks from all across the country to send in copies of their favourite photos, certificates, ticket stubs, documents, memorabilia, letters, stories and basically anything that can be copied, so we could compile it all into a book entitled, Proud Canadians – A People’s Perspective of Canada 150, or something to that effect. This would be a real reflection of Canadians, authored by Canadians, for Canadians.

What do you think?

We are also presently contacting local museums and historical societies across the nation seeking their assistance as well. And the response so far has been very good. Perhaps we could make this project a partial fundraiser for a national or several local, charity/charities?

Before I became ill, my travels throughout the country revealed that, in spite of all the advances in technology, many feel more isolated and powerless then ever before in their lives. They feel they no longer matter and everyone and everything is talking down to them.

A undertaking such as this (though small as it might be) serves to remind us all that it is the “every day people” who do the work, pay the taxes, fight the wars, care for one another and basically, “make it all happen.”

So please do send in your contributions. Remember, the item that you might think is not valuable is likely the very one that we are looking for.

Many homes do not have space for guest rooms, kids’ play areas and home theater lounges that are possible in homes with substantial square footage.

But they may not be missing out at all.

While large homes remain popular, many people are embracing the benefits of smaller residences. Small homes help homeowners save money, require less maintenance, have smaller environmental impact, and reduce the temptation to accumulate “stuff.”

Owners of small homes or apartments can still enjoy the benefits of larger desk will blend in with the decor and can hide paperwork and electronics behind doors. Otherwise, a makeup vanity can serve the dual purpose of spaces, they just need to equip rooms to perform double duty. providing a place to get ready for a night out and a ready space to house a laptop during the day.

Re-introducing velvet!

Noble and sophisticated by nature, velvet has always been considered a stately fabric. This autumn, it’s making its way back into our homes to create an atmosphere best described as cozy chic. Whether used sparingly or abundantly, velvet always makes a statement.

Between couches, armchairs, benches, carpets, curtains and headboards, there are so many ways to add a little (or a lot of ) velvety softness to your home this fall!

Fall Edition 2017 One · Colour Scheme Are you looking for something light or dark?

Understated or with bold character? Choose the colour that best matches your decor from a wide variety of colours available in each species. For uniform hue and a clean look, opt for either “Select & Better” or “Premium” grades. If you enjoy more pronounced colour variation and wood with more character, you may prefer “Antique” or “Classic” grades.

Two · Species No other flooring option delivers the splendour, warmth and value of natural wood. Today there are countless colours available to choose from as well as different species, each with their unique characteristics. No matter the decor style of your home -- modern, contemporary, zen, rustic or urban -- today’s hardwood flooring manufacturers have something for every style and taste. Here are four key steps to consider, to create a unique centrepiece hardwood floor that’s custom tailored for any interior space from country home to urban loft.

Sustainable flooring options abound Flooring manufacturers and designers are embracing the green design and remodeling movement. Today there are many beautiful and sustainable eco-flooring options. Here are some of the more popular materials.

Bamboo Contrary to popular belief, bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It is a fast-growing grass, and that makes it a smart choice in many design applications. Also, unlike wood, which will absorb moisture and can warp, bamboo repels water and can be used for flooring in areas where one wouldn’t think to put wood, such as in bathrooms, entryways or mudrooms. Bamboo is naturally very light in color, but can be stained in many different hues to give homeowners more options.

Cork Growing in popularity, cork is a material harvested from the bark of cork trees found in the forests of the Mediterranean. The bark grows back every three years, so it is a handy renewable resource. Cork boasts fire-retardant properties and may naturally repel insects. It can usually be stained to suit various color schemes.

Other options for green flooring include Rubber, Reclaimed Wood, and Green Carpeting. Eco-friendly flooring materials continue to evolve and can be smart choices in today’s homes.

From Red Oak, Hard Maple, Yellow Birch, White Ash, White Oak or Brazilian Cherry, each wood species has its own personality and distinct look (grades and width) that comes across in its maturity, hardness, and durability.

Three · Gloss Depending on the species, you can choose between a matte, semi-gloss and satin finish. A matte, semi-gloss finish tends to project a more formal atmosphere; whereas the natural look of a satin finish will feel more casual and better disguise wear and tear.

Four · Widths and Textures Wider planks, which are becoming increasingly popular, tend to create a more casual rustic appearance, while narrow planks are more formal. Manufacturers, are now offering 6-1/2” and even 7-1/4” boards in certain species. This is part of the emerging trend of the last few years where consumers are seeking more rustic looks for their hardwood flooring choices. Along with wider boards, another way this is achieved is with the latest use of different textures to give wood either a distressed look of barn wood, prominent knots or the natural lines of boards planed the old fashioned way.

Hunting trophies What would an authentic cottage home be without game trophies on display? Decorate your walls with faux animal mounts (deer, moose, bear, bison, etc.) made out of wood, cardboard, metal or plaster for a perfectly rustic look and feel.

Macramé design:

With the arrival of fall and its chillier days, the desire to remain bundled up at home often starts to take over. Do you wish to transform your interior into a comfortable and cozy space? Get inspired by cottage-style homes to infuse a touch of rustic appeal and warmth into your décor!

the 70s décor trend is back!

Varied textures To create a cozy nest, opt for throw pillows made of felt, faux fur or wool. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are equally suitable.

Furthermore, choose hardwood furniture and accessories to create a look that’s 100 per cent authentic. When it comes to your walls and floors, don’t hesitate to mix concrete, wood and stone. Finally, pattern-wise, plaid and jacquard are perfect for achieving that cozy cottage feel.

In vogue since the 1970s, macramé is making a remarkable comeback in the interior design world. Today, this traditional practice of braiding and hand-knotting rope to create accessories for the home is being revisited to create trendy bohemian- and vintage-inspired designs.

Whether you make them yourself or scout for them in local artisanal shops, macramé designs are all unique in their own right. Eager to add a touch of macramé to your interior? Consider these potential creations for inspiration: • Lampshades • Potholders • Table runners • Pillows • Wall decorations ° Tapestries ° Dream Catchers • Headboards • Hanging baskets • Hanging mirrors

Soft lighting Warm colours For a soft, soothing atmosphere that will make your home more inviting, opt for neutral shades inspired by nature. Prioritize muted tones like white, beige, light grey, pewter or even black for your walls, accessories and furniture. Additionally, consider including hints of forest green, burnt orange or dark red to add depth to your décor.

Indirect lighting — fixtures that direct light upward to bounce off the walls and ceiling (e.g. sconces) — is the key to achieving a cozy ambiance reminiscent of faraway ski chalets. Make sure you install dimmers to be able to adjust the brightness of the room to your liking. You can also add multiple candles — opt for fragrant varieties that smell like pine, cranberry or pumpkin, for example — and scatter strings of lights around your fireplace or windows to bring a festive touch to your interior.

How to use chalkboard paint around the home

unfinished walls

However, an unfinished wall doesn’t necessarily equal a neglected décor! On the contrary, the rough aspect of the wall’s surface serves as the perfect backdrop for a space worthy of trendy loft apartments or prestigious ancestral homes.

Adding a coat of chalkboard paint is an easy way to refresh a space and give it personality without breaking the bank. Here are three rooms in the home where you can let your creativity run free!

THE KITCHEN

Apply chalkboard paint to the walls, the refrigerator or the pantry. Feel free to write out the week’s dinner menu, your grocery list, a delicious recipe or an inspiring quote!

THE OFFICE

Are you self-employed or in school? Chalkboard paint can help you keep your workspace organized. How? Create a giant calendar, record your appointments or make a list of daily tasks, for example.

THE PLAYROOM

Chalkboard paint is ideal if you wish to decorate your children’s playroom in a fun and original way. Paint an entire wall or trace big shapes and let your toddlers colour to their heart’s content!

Why hire a

kitchen designer?

The Butcher’s Block:

Whether you’d like to create a functional and elegant kitchen from the ground up or renovate your existing one so that it better meets your current needs, enlist the help of a kitchen designer. This renovation expert has more than one trick up his or her sleeve!

Kitchen designers are creative and detail oriented professionals with extensive knowledge of various industries and trades, including architecture, woodworking, plumbing, carpentry, electricity, masonry and, of course, interior design.

Thanks to the expertise of these talented individuals, you’re guaranteed a beautiful and functional kitchen tailored to your specific needs and style preferences. Why not take advantage?

a kitchen staple

With their sleek, satiny finish, black stainless steel appliances harmonize well with numerous materials and add a contemporary touch to virtually any style of décor. They’re especially perfect for adding character to modern, industrial and contemporary kitchen designs.

What’s more, many black stainless steel appliances are stain-resistant and therefore camouflage the appearance of unsightly fingerprints. They’re also very easy to clean: a quick wipe with a dry or damp cloth is enough to restore the surface’s shine!

A butcher’s block is a thick slab of solid wood that’s usually installed on a kitchen counter or island. Elegant, robust and durable, this versatile work surface can serve as both a cutting board and a serving platter. Contrary to what its name may suggest, a butcher’s block isn’t just for preparing cuts of meat!

A layer of finishing oil with antibacterial and stain-proofing properties is the key to maintaining a lustrous wooden butcher’s block. Carefully wash this handy piece of kitchen equipment after each use, and regularly apply a protective cream or oil according to the manufacturer’s recommended frequency.

A quality butcher’s block is a valuable tool to have in any home kitchen. Visit a local business that either sells kitchenware or manufactures wooden furniture to find the perfect butcher’s block!

Make a splash with

bold paint colours

Painting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to transform the look of a space. Paint colours can dramatically change the mood and the design of a home. And depending on a homeowner’s goals, paint can make a statement or blend into the background.

Many people are now looking to bold colours to make spaces stand out. But choosing a paint colour can be challenging.

Homeowners looking to update walls and complement decor may want to look at some of the more impactful colours that Pantone indicates will be popular for the 2017 season. Primrose Yellow, Lapis Blue, Flame, Pink Yarrow, and Greenery are some of the more eye-catching selections. Once colours are selected, consider these guidelines for using bolder colours in room designs.

Decide how big an impact you want to make

Stick to boldness on interchangeable items

Are you looking for colour overload or just a small focal point of vivid colour? Remember, using bold colour doesn’t mean every wall must be lathered in that hue.

Instead, select one wall to serve as an accent point and use that spot as your bold colour display. Otherwise, rely on bold colours to dress up otherwise mundane areas, such as the back wall of a cupboard or mouldings and trim.

Those who like to experiment with colour may find that they like to switch out the colours now and again. Instead of having to repaint every few months, use decorative items in bright shades to make swapping out colour that much easier.

For example, replace area rugs, throw pillows and draperies.

Paint over terra cotta flower pots when the mood strikes.

Try bold in a small space Many people are surprised at how well bold colours work in small spaces. Powder rooms can be an ideal spot to experiment with paint colours. Try deep colours that can make the area seem intimate and even exotic. Dark, bold hues can be toned down by different accents, such as neutral coloured fixtures and towels.

Establish balance Rely on neutral furniture, rugs, mouldings and baseboards if you decide to take bold colours up a notch. This will help create a sense of balance in the room.

Go bold in the kitchen Incorporate a splash of colour in the kitchen without going overboard. Try an appliance or design fixture in a bright shade. Or paint the inside of the cabinets in your favourite colour and install glass inserts in the cabinet doors so that everyone gets a peek of the colour beyond.

A neutral kitchen also can be brightened up with the use of silverware, dishes, pots and pans, and other kitchen items featured in bold hues.

North America’s Roll Shutter, Awning and Shade Specialist

The fun part…

Center template onto plaque. Keep paper taut and start hammering nails into alternating points of the starburst. Continue adding nails approximately half an inch apart all around the outer edges of the starburst and letter.

Use household tweezers to help remove paper template from plaque. The tweezers will help with any tiny paper scraps that are caught in between nails.

Applying the string (heavy thread). To start, tie string in a double knot to the point of one nail. Trim excess string from the end. Keep string taut and start wrapping around nails, making sure to not cross over any negative space within the monogram. Once you feel that you have covered the surface of your art with enough string so the letter is nicely defined, you’re ready to finish. To do that, pick an end point, preferably one on the outside of the project, then tie a tight knot around the nail.

TIP: Make sure it’s tied nice and tight so your project doesn’t come unraveled.

DIVE INTO THE

eccentric WITH

MEMPHIS DESIGN Is your home décor in need of a drastic change? If you’re a fan of the extravagant 80s, then Memphis design may be just the cure for your drab interior. Read on to discover the secrets of this eccentric décor trend that’s making a big comeback.

What is Memphis style?

Introduced in 1981 by the renowned designer Ettore Sottsass and his Memphis Group — an Italian design and architecture collective that brought together the decade’s most prominent visionaries — this style is anything but bland. Characterized by bold, colourful furniture and accessories, Memphis-style interiors push the boundaries of eclectic design to create a truly unique aesthetic.

Here are some tips to help you transform your home into a playful space where Memphis design is in the spotlight: • Choose bright colours that will give your home personality. Opt for canary yellow, electric blue, cotton candy pink, scarlet red and lime green when it comes to your cushions, tables, carpets, lamps and accessories, for example.

• Prioritize stripes, polka dots, abstract designs and zigzags. Choose accessories, furniture and wallpaper with bold patterns and designs.

• Incorporate a variety of geometric shapes: squares, rectangles, circles, polygons, triangles, etc. These details are key elements of the Memphis trend, and they also confer structure and rhythm to your interior.

• Vary textures and materials to highlight the whimsical quality of Memphis design. Include plastic, wood, marble or metal to add depth to your décor.

Four things to consider when It’s all about the copper! shopping for bar stools In the market for bar-style seating for your kitchen’s island or peninsula? With so many different models available on the market, making the right choice can prove quite difficult. To find the perfect stools for your specific needs, consider the following criteria.

One · The height

Four · The style

To avoid having to lug your bar stools back to the store because they’re either too high or too low, make sure to have the exact measurements (height, width and depth) of your counter or table on hand.

Knowing the size and configuration of your space will make choosing the right height a lot easier. Don’t forget to leave some wiggle room — approximately 25 centimetres — between the counter and the stool.

Opt for bar stools that complement your existing décor. If your interior is cozy and rustic, choose stools made of wood or other organic materials. On the other hand, if your home’s design is modern and minimalist, opt for bold, colourful plastic seats. Finally, prioritize brushed steel and synthetic fibres for a more industrial look, and artificial leather or quilted fabric for a more sophisticated appeal.

Two · The seat Do you prefer bar stools with or without a backrest? As you consider your options, keep in mind their intended use. If you have children and anticipate using your bar stools on a daily basis, seats with a backrest are undeniably more comfortable. On the other hand, seats without a backrest can easily slide under the counter or table and are thus less cumbersome — a positive feature if you have limited space.

A versatile metal, copper is widely used in numerous industries (agriculture, transportation, telecommunications, healthcare, architecture, art, design, etc.). Equally popular in interior design, copper is favoured for its authentic character that can be either minimalist or glamorous in style. Read on to find out how to bring this sophisticated metal into your home!

Furniture and accessories Copper (or copper alloy) is used in the manufacturing of countless décor items and practical household objects. By visiting speciality retailers in your region, you can find light fixtures, mirrors, clocks, potholders, kitchen utensils and office equipment, among a myriad of other items, that feature the metal with varying prominence. In terms of furniture, your options are just as varied. Copper-accented Since copper has a tendency to tarnish end tables, chairs, shelves and with time, your favourite décor items may stools, for example, add warmth become discoloured as the years go by. to any interior. Are you crazy for If you like the old-fashioned look of vintage copper? Opt for copper handles designs — which happen to be in vogue this on your bathroom or kitchen year — then all the better! However, if you’d cabinets, and install a faucet prefer to restore your copper accessories’ with a matching finish. original lustre, simply sprinkle a lemon wedge with salt and gently rub it against your tarnished items. Rinse well with lukewarm water, and you’re done!

Lustrous or oxidized?

Three · The base Bar stools generally fall into one of two categories: stools with four legs or stools with one central leg. The first option is very popular as it provides excellent stability; however, you can generally adjust the height of the latter, which makes it equally practical and stylish.

Cabin temperatures can affect electric vehicles' driving range “Hi Brian, I'm by no means a car girl, but I do enjoy your column.

In all the discussion about electric vehicles, one subject I've never seen/ heard mentioned is how much cabin heating or AC affects mileage. Perhaps your resources can fill us in.”

Cheers, Ruth Thanks for the kind words and readership. Yes, electric vehicles’ (EV) HVAC systems can reduce driving range. It’s hard to put an accurate figure on it, because it depends on the driver’s preferences for cabin temperatures and fan speeds. As their heat sources don’t use engine coolant (as traditional vehicles do), they supply much drier air, reducing the amount of condensation on the interior of the windshield, rear and door glasses.

EV heaters are also very efficient and provide almost instant warmth when they’re switched on. Their AC systems, however, are much like gasolinepowered vehicles.

From EV drivers I’ve met and spoken with at various EV shows, you can expect to lose about 15 to 20 per cent

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

driving range in winter — partially because of heater use and mainly because of the operating temperatures of the drive batteries.

If you want maximum winter range with an EV, then dress for the occasion (warmly), so you can keep the heater use at a minimum. The same applies in summer for AC use.

A customer concern came across my desk recently that highlights some of the misconceptions and risks involved in certain vehicle modifications. Apparently an off-roader recently purchased a new SUV from an authorized dealership and arranged to have a vehicle lift kit installed (at that same retailer) to improve ground clearance and allow for larger-than-

original-equipment tires.

This is a common modification that a lot of truck and SUV owners have performed on their rides to convert them from ‘soft-road’ to true ‘offroad’ utility vehicles. The problem with this particular case was that the kit was incorrectly installed, leading to brake line and exhaust pipe damage. As well, the installation kit made no allowance for the change in angles of the driveshafts connected to the SUV’s transfer case. And the steering geometry and settings were far from perfect. According to this consumer, the dealership refused to complete the needed repairs, leading to them looking to the appropriate Ontario industry council (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) for redress.

Vehicle lift kits come in a wide variety of configurations, with the most popular falling in the two-inch to fiveinch range. On most SUVs, if a kit with any more than three inches to 3.5 inches is installed without making allowances for driveshaft angle changes, the amount of stress placed on the transfer case may quickly reduce it to scrap due to bearing failures. A good

quality kit from a credible manufacturer will include components to accommodate these angles to ensure long life and reliability (when properly installed).

The most common misconception that consumers have in cases like these is that if it’s supplied and installed by an automaker’s authorized dealership, it won’t have any effect on the vehicle’s warranty. Nothing could be further from the truth. All carmakers include clauses in their warranty documents to consumers that deny coverage on any component or system when the failure can be directly attributed to the installation of a nonapproved part, regardless of who supplied and/ or installed it.

This leaves the customer to deal directly with the auto retailer or the kit supplier and seldom is this an easy or satisfying experience.

Even if either of these two parties supplies their own written guarantee, if it’s not properly backed in financial terms and/or comes with an arbitration mechanism when things go wrong, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.

Ireland’s Newgrange ancient is an engineering marvel My son Craig and I are just home after spending nearly two weeks in Ireland (south and north) and England. This was our second father-son overseas getaway in as many years although this excursion was far busier than our 2016 junket to England.

The morning after our arrival home I was in the kitchen brewing tea. I could hear Kathleen asking her son about his experiences overseas.

“If you were going to choose the best thing you did during the trip what would it be,” she inquired.

Craig didn’t have to think about it.

“The visit to Newgrange. That was my favourite,” he quickly replied.

Unless you are into Neolithic history it is unlikely you have ever heard of Newgrange. It is a so-called “passage tomb” that was constructed in what is now County Meath in the Republic of Ireland. The prehistoric monument stands high above the River Boyne some five miles (eight kilometres) west of the City of Drogheda. By road it is an hour north of the Irish capital Dublin, where we were staying.

Newgrange is the best known among the numerous passage tombs in Ireland which also include nearby monuments called Knowth and Dowth. Other sites located in the Boyne Valley are Fourknocks, Loughcrew and Tara. The latter, located high atop the Hill of Tara near the Town of Navan, was also a stop on our tour the

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

day we visited Newgrange. It’s a much smaller tomb but the impressive views from the Hill of Tara, which according to tradition was the seat of the High King of Ireland, were spectacular on a clear late afternoon.

Newgrange, along with Knowth and Dowth, are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Newgrange stands out because of its age. The structure dates from 3200 BC meaning it predates both Stonehenge in England (which Craig and I visited last year) and the Egyptian pyramids.

Knowth and Dowth, although impressive examples of this type of construction, date from between 2500 and 2000 BC. Ireland has more than a thousand Megalithic tombs which fall into four different categories. It is really quite remarkable and attests to just how long people have inhabited the island.

Most incredible of all is the construction capabilities and engineering skills of those ancient people. Using what we today would consider rudimentary tools, combined with brute

strength and endurance, they have built monuments which are impressive by any standard.

The scale of Newgrange, which over the course of many centuries became buried in the Irish countryside, is awe inspiring. It was rediscovered in 1699 by a land owner who had ordered his farm labourers to excavate what, at the time, appeared to be a large mound on the hillside.

Site restored Over the course of more than 200 years and culminating with major excavations led by Irish archeologist and professor Michael J. O’Kelly in the 1960s and early 1970s the entire structure was revealed and the front restored. The large mound is approximately 80 metres (262 feet) in diameter.

It’s believed the original mound stood 11-13 metres high. The base is surrounded by 97 large “kerb” stones.

The most impressive of these is the highly decorated entrance stone. The site is also ringed by a wider stone circle. In total the mound contains an incredible 200,000 pounds of material. The only open sections are the entrance passage and the inner burial chamber.

Because we took an organized tour from Dublin, Craig and I and our fellow passengers were actually able to enter the massive structure. Just 24 people at a time are permitted inside

due to the close confines. We entered in single file amid cries of “mind your head” from our tour guide. If you’re claustrophobic Newgrange isn’t for you. The long passage isn’t only low, it is also very narrow. One place is so tight that you have to turn sideways to get through. People of ample dimensions are advised to remain outside.

Electric lights were added in the 1950s to allow visitors to find their way along the passageway.

Excavations have proven Newgrange was a burial place. But sadly because it was wide open for so many years (the site wasn’t formally protected by the government until 1882) much of what was originally inside the chamber was carried away by souvenir hunters.

There were 43 people on our tour and we were in the second group to enter the more than 5,000 year old structure. In typical Irish fashion, what had been a sunny day suddenly turned nasty. The wind carried a sharp shower across the green, rolling, rural landscape. Our rainwear and umbrellas were put to good use. We were glad to be summoned inside.

Once we navigated the passageway and stood in the chamber our guide, with the very Irish name Mary Ryan, demonstrated what archeologist O’Kelly discovered in 1967. He uncovered the so-called “roof box” which is perfectly aligned so that at the time of

the Winter Solstice in December the light of the rising sun enters the roof box and penetrates the passageway, shining onto the floor of the inner chamber. The sunlight illuminates the chamber for just 17 minutes.

Our demonstration was done using electric light but it was intriguing none the less.

Studies completed in 1972 revealed that the Winter Solstice orientation of the site was so sophisticated that Newgrange could be used to determine the exact day of solstice.

The roof box is built in such a way that it maximizes the accuracy and length of the light beam entering the chamber.

Similar to Stonehenge in England the large stones used to complete Newgrange came from many miles away. It’s believed they were floated on rafts using the country’s river system and then hauled bodily to the site.

It has also been determined construction of the mound would have taken a workforce of 300 people up to 30 years to complete.

Little wonder my son was impressed! Newgrange and many other burial mounds in Ireland are truly remarkable examples of ancient engineering skill and construction methods. They are well worth a visit.

Catholic School Board trustees hear of Summer Learning Program For the past eight summers, the CDSBEO has had the opportunity to offer a Summer Learning Program for primary students in a number of our schools. The program focuses on building literacy and numeracy skills, while integrating physical activity, the arts and recreation, as well as coding and robotics instruction, which was added this year.

The Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE) continues to co-ordinate and provide funding and leadership for these summer programs.

Principal of Curriculum, Brent Bovaird, along with teacher Paula Hart, presented an overview of the benefits of the Summer Learning Program to the Board of Trustees.

The program is intended to support students in the primary grades who would benefit from engaging and interactive literacy and numeracy instruction during the summer months.

In conjunction with the summer learning program, a significant research study is in place to examine the factors that minimize summer learning loss, and close the achievement gap.

Key components of the program included opportunities for students to: increase their literacy and numeracy skills, develop social skills through small peer group interaction, and enhance leadership and mentorship skills.

“The programs provide continuity and supported literacy, numeracy and school readiness,” explained Mr. Bovaird. “The learning environment is fun and positive, with low teacherpupil ratios and engaging materials such as field trips and experiential opportunities, classroom guests, computer technology, manipulatives, and

varied text forms.”

Each year, students in the Summer Learning Program complete STAR testing, which measures their reading and numeracy level upon entering the program. Students are then revisited by board staff in September to complete the testing again which allows for an analysis of how well the program helped students to retain academic skills over the summer months.

The program was held at five CDSBEO school locations, with 173 students from grades 1, 2, and 3 participating for four weeks during the month of July.

“Students had the opportunity to learn about self-regulation, breathing techniques to help manage emotions, and elements of spiritual meditation through weekly yoga classes,” noted teacher Paula Hart. “The experiences offered through the program also helped to engage learners with community experiences, Indigenous teachings, and history through handson opportunities.”

Information and Communication Technology Update The CDSBEO has invested heavily in capacity, reliability and equipment relating to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Through a strong partnership with Microsoft, ICT has established a solid infrastructure where students and teachers seamlessly integrate cloud tools in the classroom to help meet curriculum expectations. This infrastructure has allowed the Board to leverage cloud technologies, such as Microsoft Office 365.

James Proulx, manager of ICT, presented an update to the Board on all of the recent progressive and innovative changes taking place with

regard to Board technology, partnerships and recent upgrades.

One of the Board’s largest partnerships is with Microsoft, whose software helps to manage more than 7,000 devices, 150 servers, and 100 software titles for nearly 15,000 users in schools and administrative offices.

“Microsoft has a complete ecosystem from the back end all the way to the desktop,” explained Mr. Proulx.

“These tools help to control our infrastructure, such as malware tools, business systems, video conference, and desktop software including office 2013 and 2016.”

“Our partnership with Microsoft has also streamlined the migration to Microsoft cloud based storage, software services, and infrastructure services.”

In addition, CDSBEO provides office products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote to students and teachers in the cloud via Office 365. Students and teachers have access to five free downloads of Office 2016.

In 2013, the CDSBEO and the KPRDSB (Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board) submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Education and COSBO (Council of Senior Business Officials) for a provincial cloud based software delivery solution for schools.

The proposal led to a pilot of eight school boards that participated in a three-year pilot program which received $700,000 provided by the ministry and COSBO. The pilot has now expanded to 30 participant boards and over 400 software titles. The solution, which is now self-sustaining, is currently overseen by the shared technology services

advisory committee, which has been chaired by James Proulx since July 2016.

“We have internal partnerships with our departments, and these partnerships allow for the technology to be successful in our schools,” noted Mr. Proulx.

“We have also worked diligently to ensure adequate internet access at all sites, and we are about to deploy new firewall to make this service even better.”

The CDSBEO is currently piloting Windows 10 at three school sites. The implementation of the newer operating system will allow schools to offer students seamless Office 365 integration.

CDSBEO Appoints Director of Education The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario is pleased to announce the appointment of John Cameron, as its new Director of Education for the Board, effective Jan. 1, 2018. Mr. Cameron, who was appointed to the position on Sept. 19 by the Board of Trustees, is currently the Associate Director of Education, with responsibilities that include supervision of Catholic schools in the Cornwall area.

Board chair, Todd Lalonde says that Mr. Cameron has a long-standing career in Catholic education. “Mr. Cameron’s dedication to Catholic education cannot be questioned. He has demonstrated for many years, his dedication to ensuring that students have the opportunity to flourish in a faith-filled learning environment. He is a strong advocate for our beliefs and values and I look forward to working closely with him in this new role.”

Over his 26 year career as an educa-

tor, Mr. Cameron has held positions including secondary teacher, viceprincipal, principal, superintendent and most recently Associate Director of Education. His career began at St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall where he taught religious education. During his time as an administrator, Mr. Cameron has gained experience overseeing the Religious and Family Life Education Department, the International Education program, the Adult and Continuing Education program, and the Student Success portfolio.

He has acted as a mentor and guide for the CDSBEO Catholic student trustees, and as key facilitator for the CDSBEO parent involvement committee. Mr. Cameron earned his Masters of Education from the University of Ottawa.

Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland expressed his confidence in the appointment. “Our Board has benefited greatly from Mr. Cameron’s participation in planning for the needs of our system in his current capacity as Associate Director of Education. I know that he will bring that same level of passion to this new position.”

Mr. Cameron expressed his gratitude. “I am honoured to have been given this opportunity. Our Board has seen much success under the direction of retiring Director of Education Wm. J. Gartland, and I look forward to building on those successes as I take on this exciting role. Over the years, I have enjoyed working with the Board of Trustees in my capacity as superintendent and associate director, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to nurture the hearts, minds, bodies and souls of our students.”

Chase scenes that defy the laws of physics and reason. A maniacal villain with a diabolical plan, and Sir Elton John.

This is how you do a larger-than-life spy flick.

Eggsy (Taron Egerton) has a run-in with Charlie (Edward Holcroft). Back from the dead and with a cybernetic arm Charlie attempts to kill Eggsy.

Eggsy escapes, and the whole thing looks like simple revenge until every Kingsman facility, front, and agent is blown up in missile strikes. Leaving only Eggsy and Merlin (Mark Strong).

With no other options Merlin and Eggsy open the doomsday vault. Inside is a bottle of Statesman whiskey, and a clue that leads them to Kentucky.

No longer the hero in training, now just the hero.

I must admit Colin Firth is my favourite. He's so far removed from Hollywood's stereotypical action hero, yet he's so smooth and natural in the role. I could watch him teach manners all day.

The Golden Circle is all kinds of fun. A must-see film for sure.

BarnDoor Productions 23rd season opener, A Perfect Likeness, teams David Bird (left as Scrooge in BDP’s December 2016 A Christmas Carol) and Connor Williamson (right as Last Duel survivor John Wilson in BDP’s June 2016 The Last Deadman) as Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll. All of the details are at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Laughter, fun and fireworks create 'A Perfect Likeness' Combine a vibrant new script with a talented and experienced cast and you're going to get interesting results.

Make it a two-person play about two of the most important writers of all time and it's going to be memorable.

Make it a show from Perth's BarnDoor Productions and real entertainment is going to happen.

A Perfect Likeness is a new play

by Daniel Rover Singer. Singer is one of the three writers of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) which was a huge hit for BarnDoor Productions several years ago — a 90-minute romp through all of Shakespeare's plays, culminating with a high-speed backward version of Hamlet.

A Perfect Likeness is a different beast from the madcap Complete Works. It finds its laughs (and there are lots of them) in the minds of its two characters: Charles Dickens and Charles Dodgson. If Dickens is "the man who invented Christmas," then Dodgson might as easily be known as "the man who invented childhood" — in the form of his alter ego Lewis Carroll. Between the two of them, they created our mind's-eye vision of what Victorian England was all about.

Singer's play is a fiction. Taking the two known facts that Dodgson was an avid photographer and that he once asked Dickens' publisher for his home address (they had the same publisher), Singer has created a fast-paced, fiery story of what might have happened had Dodgson requested that Dickens visit to sit for a photograph. From there, it's an exploration of the characters of each of the famous authors, with lots of surprises and turns on the way.

The show, which started in a workshop production in Winston-Salem, N.C., has garnered praise as it has gained reputation. "The power of the play is in the fireworks that fly," said the Los Angeles Theatre Review.

Broadway World (Los Angeles) said it was "suffused with joy, laughter, love of language and the spirit of fun," while the Winston-Salem Journal said

it was "so lovely and entertaining that you want it to be true."

To successfully bring these two giants of literature to life, BarnDoor Productions has paired two of the area's strongest performers, and their energy, even in early rehearsals, is infectious. Connor Williamson is a young Perth performer who already has two summers of experience with the Classic Theatre Festival, as well as roles in a number of BarnDoor shows, behind him. David Bird is a stalwart whose history with BarnDoor Productions goes back to their first production. Bird has become the area's premiere performer of Dickens, especially of A Christmas Carol, and now, he gets a chance to play Dickens himself.

A Perfect Likeness is just the first show in BarnDoor Productions' 23rd season. The December production, Cinderella, and the February production, Panto Can Be Murder, are the front- and backstage versions of the same performance: see the first with your kids for lots of laughs (including laughs for adults), then see the second to find out the dark secrets happening backstage. Then, in April, another new play, The Taming by Lauren Gundersen, takes a pair of jagged scissors to American politics, beauty pageants and Shakespeare.

BarnDoor is also lining up their 2018 summer series, with the classic farce Charley's Aunt set for June and, in August, Willm Shaksper, a new play about the life of the man who became the Bard of Avon, with a yet-to-beannounced play for July.

All of the details of BarnDoor's 23rd season are online at www.barndoorproductions.ca, along with ticket reservations and info on season subscriptions, as well as information on all the events at Perth's Full Circle Theatre.

A Perfect Likeness runs Oct. 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. at Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park.

There is no better place in Lanark County to witness the panoramic spectacle of fall colours than from the summit of Blueberry Mountain.

This singularly beautiful display of nature remains central to our upcoming event on Sunday, Oct. 1, but it will be enriched this fall by the opportunity to learn about the ancient plants and geological features that made cliffLAND special.

Ecologist Dr. Paul Keddy recently visited Blueberry Mountain and added to our understanding of its history.

Nearby Flower Round Lake is known to have been formed 9,500 years ago with a surrounding terrain of postglacial herbaceous plants and small shrubs, followed by pine and spruce forest, and then some 7,500 years ago deciduous trees such as maple, beech and oak had moved in to form our present day forests.

But on Blueberry Mountain and similar large high ridges where trees cannot grow, those postglacial cliff and rock barren plants can still be found — such as bearberry, bristly sarsparilla, rusty weedsia fern, bastard toadflax, pinweed and cowwheat. These plants are part of an ancient ecological community hearkening back so many centuries.

On Sunday, Oct. 1, at our annual Blueberry Mountain Fall Colours Walk, you are invited to join the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust not only for the spectacular views of a brilliant vista of colour, but also to learn about the unique features that define this geographic location. Registration is at 10 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are free. Children under 12 will be awarded certificates for making the climb. Refreshments will be served after the walk.

Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Brightside. Turn left on to the French Line Rd. Drive toward Flower Station and watch for the right turn when

Wildlife in your woods: 50 Million Tree Program offers site visits to landowners Want to see more wildlife on your land? Since 2007, Forests Ontario has been helping landowners to attract more “nature” to their land with the 50 Million Tree Program. Over the life of this program, more than 22 million trees have been planted on private land, and most landowners have cited the attraction of wildlife as their prime reason for signing up with the program. Landowners with a minimum of 2.5 acres (one hectare) of plantable land may be eligible for this generous tree planting incentive program.

“Many trees provide pollen and

nectar for bees and other pollinators early in the spring before fruit trees and plants flower. Adding trees to my land was beneficial for my bees, and trees are also important because they provide homes for nesting birds and animals,” says Forests Ontario green leader Karin Tomosky.

Animals large and small can benefit from the presence of trees, which provide a potential food source, as well as protection from predators and severe weather. Expanding the tree cover on a property can create habitat for wildlife — and can quickly start to attract birds, small mammals and pollinators.

Fall is prime time for the planting partners to visit landowners to evaluate their properties for the 50 Million Tree Program. Interested landowners should act now to set up a site visit.

This allows time for site preparation before trees are planted in the spring.

Plant trees on your land — give wildlife a leg up — and help Ontario plant 50 million trees by 2025. To find out more about the 50 Million Tree Program and to submit an application, please visit forestsontario. ca/50MTP. For additional questions, contact the forestry outreach co-ordinator,

As well, forested riparian (shoreline) areas are important for their combination of improving water quality, reducing stream-bank erosion and providing cover to a host of land and aquatic creatures.

Through the 50 Million Tree Program, landowners are able to access funding support of up to 75 per cent of total planting costs as well as ongoing forest management assistance.

A local planting partner — an experienced forestry professional — will work with you to create a plan that suits your property’s unique needs and help improve the value of your land.

About 50 Million Tree Program Forests Ontario administers the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program, part of the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign. The United Nations' goal is to plant one billion trees worldwide each year. Ontario is committed to plant 50 million trees by 2025. The 50 Million Tree Program is designed to reduce the costs to landowners of large-scale tree planting and thereby increase the number of trees planted across the province.

Almonte Civitan Club honours Eric and Sharron Pottle beancars.ca

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Eric Pottle has always supported his Mississippi Mills community but on Sept. 15, it was their turn to return the favour.

Eric was the guest of honour, along with wife Sharron, for a special evening, billed as A Tribute to Eric Pottle – A Fiddlers’ Night, at the Almonte Civitan Club. The community leader was left paralyzed on Aug. 27, 2016 after breaking his neck during a fall in his backyard.

Following a roast beef dinner, Eric arrived in his new electric wheelchair and was met by the strains of ‘For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,’ from the crowd.

“I’m glad to see my old friends here and new friends,” he noted. “A lot of you can probably remember when I stood. That’s gone…for now.”

Proceeds from the event went to the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor Foundation in their quest to purchase a new CT scanner. “He wouldn’t have it any other way,” Sharron noted.

After his fall, Eric was transported to the AGH emergency department where the hospital’s new portable digital X-ray machine was able to diagnose his broken neck.

“We really know that the Almonte hospital is a terrific place. I don’t know where we’d be without it,” Sharron said. “I’ve travelled to Ottawa long enough to know that it’s great to have a hospital in your own hometown, good doctors and kind nurses.

Right, Eric?”

and then became famous as the proprietor of Pottle’s Chips.”

However, music and entertaining is Eric’s true passion and Chaplin said he was always keen to volunteer his time at events, whether it was at at seniors’ homes or within his church.

He is also a former longtime Civitan member and avid fiddler, who was one Bean Chevrolet 613-257-2432 of the driving forces behind the popu- Buick GMC Ltd. 375 McNeely Ave, Carleton Place lar monthly Fiddlers’ Nights at the Civitan hall for many years.

“I will not reiterate any of these because some of them are a little risqué,” he joked, to laughter from the crowd.

The Almonte Civitan Hall was filled Sept. 15 for A Fiddler's Night in Tribute of Eric Pottle. Pottle was paralyzed when he broke his neck in a fall in August 2016. The event featured dinner and live entertainment, with proceeds going to support the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor Foundation. Above, during the evening, Eric, centre, and Sharron Pottle, right, were named honourary members of the Almonte Civitan Club by president Mike Keffer.

“Beautiful,” he responded.

While Eric was aware of the tribute event, Almonte Civitan members managed to keep one aspect of it a secret. Past Civitan president and MC for the evening, Grant Chaplin, first provided the crowd gathered with a bit of history on Eric, who was born in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.

He grew up in Flatrock and became a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, taking his basic training at

Camp Petawawa, eventually serving in Petawawa, Kingston, Fort Pecoral in Newfoundland, and finishing his career in Carp.

Retirement was the furthest thing from Eric’s mind.

“When Eric was discharged from the armed forces he became a local fixture in Almonte and area as a taxi driver and had his own taxi service,” Chaplin explained. “He also worked as an assembler for Bruce Instruments

now being presented with a certificate for honourary membership to the Almonte Civitan Club,” Chaplin explained. “This is not to be taken lightly because I believe there are only two other people who have received that honour and that was past Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and Max Keeping.”

Keffer commended Eric for how he “strengthened Civitan up and down the valley.”

“To you, Eric, I say, congratulations and thank you for all your work,” he added.

Sharron was also presented with an honourary membership.

“I suppose everyone realizes that everything Eric did in this club, he was sort of stuck with someone else and they did everything together,” Chaplin said.

Everything changed Life has changed significantly for Sharron and Eric since Aug. 27, 2016, a day she won’t soon forget.

“He went to get out of his chair and he caught his foot on the chair leg,” she remembered.

“There were five of us there and we couldn’t catch him and he landed on his back.”

After being stabilized at AGH, Eric underwent emergency sur-

gery in Ottawa. To add to the stress of the situation, Sharron was scheduled for knee surgery on Aug. 31, which her doctors suggested she keep. Recovery included no driving for six weeks.

“It was a real strain, but my family and friends took me down and we made it work,” she said.

Eric returned to Almonte October 2016 and then began rehabilitation. He currently resides at AGH due to the level of care he requires as well as accessibility issues in their home.

“He requires a lot of medication. It’s a spinal cord injury, so he has limited use of his arms,” Sharron explained. “He has plates on the side of his neck to stabilize his spine and uses a feeding tube.”

“He’s on the (exercise) bike everyday at the hospital and working with physio. The Almonte hospital is terrific. I can’t say enough about them.”

Sharron said the incident has “changed everything” as she and Eric used to constantly be on the go – volunteering, travelling – and now she finds herself at home alone. She hopes that will change, however.

“I can bring him home to the porch, but I’m having a lift put in at the house so he’ll be able to go inside. It’s his home too,” she commented.

It was back in February when Sharron heard from Eric’s friend and fellow fiddler Charlie Rath, who wanted to put on a tribute night in his honour.

“I thought it would do Eric a lot of good to see the support he has from his friends that have played with him because a lot of them he hasn’t seen in a while,” she said.

AGH-FVM Foundation managing director Al Roberts was pleased to hear the tribute night would support the foundation’s fundraising efforts.

“Eric was actually one of the first to use our portable X-ray machine when he came to the hospital, so it’s come full circle,” he said. “We’re in the middle of a $4 million diagnostic imaging campaign right now, so the funds raised tonight will to towards that.”

The Put Yourself in the Picture campaign launched May 10 and is being led by a group of dedicated volunteers helping fundraise to ensure patients have the best diagnostic tools available. The digital X-ray machines (one stationary and one portable) make up $1.8 million and the remaining $2.2 million will go towards the CT scanner.

Brett Pearson Run for Your Life continues its important message

BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

“Reach out” are the words Nicole Pearson wants youth to take away from the Brett Pearson Run for Your Life.

More than 100 runners registered for the 7th annual run Saturday, Sept. 23.

The event is held each year in Carleton Place in memory of Brett, who lost his life to suicide when he was 16. The run’s purpose is to raise awareness about the issues of suicide, mental health and substance abuse.

His mom, Nicole, spoke to the crowd with tears in her eyes — in awe that her son could rally so many people in the community, under sunny skies.

“Every single year we have the same weather, sunny, warm and absolutely blue skies, and I think we know who is doing this," she said. "I’m sure there’s that little angel up in the sky named Brett who keeps looking down on us.

“As well, that banner (advertising the run) on Bridge Street — every time I drive underneath it, it’s just this 16-year-old that’s looking over this community.”

Nicole’s son died 10 years ago. After his death, she knew she couldn’t stay silent and challenged the secrecy surrounding suicide.

“Every time I hear of

somebody taking their life it’s just earth-shattering. I go immediately into their shoes, because I know the pain they're going through, the ones left behind,” Nicole said. “It is safe to talk about it. We can talk about it, have compassion for each other.

“Reach out, you are never alone, there’s always somebody you can trust.”

When Brett died, Nicole said nobody was talking about suicide — but now, the dialogue has grown and opened up.

This year’s run — growing its reach bigger each year — brought together youth, families, individuals, friends, military personnel, veterans and more.

“It’s quite overwhelming when you know a little 16-year-old’s life has done this,” Nicole said.

Runners gathered to listen to the personal story of Pearson at the opening ceremonies, as well as the struggle of retired NHL player Doug Smith, who overcame his own mental and physical struggles after suffering a career-ending injury to his neck that left him a quadriplegic more than two decades ago.

He recalled trying and failing to take a shower four months after his third surgery on his broken neck.

He tried, but couldn't.

Every summer the Ottawa Senators Foundation sends more than 1,200 deserving kids to summer camp. A place where kids have an opportunity to make new friends, to learn about teamwork, leadership and fair play. A place where kids learn about themselves and build self-confidence. The Ottawa Senators Foundation believes that all kids deserve an opportunity to experience the many benefits of camp.

“None of that follows them,” says Warden. “They’re able to be their own person and understand that they’re welcome no matter what.”

Meet Rosie Warden.

Warden says new kids often arrive at Camp Smitty uncertain about what’s in store.

Young ones arriving for the first time can be shy, tentative.

Older kids in the throes of adolescence can act like they’re too cool to go to camp.

Here’s an example from Camp Smitty, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa camp in Eaganville, Ont.

The greatest thing about summer camp is its ability to unburden campers of their baggage and allow them to see the potential in themselves and the possibilities life can offer.

For three epic sessions of 10 nights each summer, kids from underprivileged families, broken homes and troubled circumstances leave their woes behind and venture into the unknown surrounded by other kids from similar circumstances.

It’s a diverse group, but you wouldn’t know it by about day two.

“Everyone is from the same place when you come to camp,” says Rosie Warden, manager of Outdoor Education and Youth Leadership for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

They might be struggling in school or have behavioural issues or family problems. At Camp Smitty, kids come and be comfortable with who they are.

The camp benefits from the support of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which provides funding for the one in five Ottawa-area children who don’t have access to after-school sports, recreation or social activities.

Since 2015, the foundation, has enabled more than 4,000 kids, ages four to 17, from 50 communities across the region to go to camps like Smitty.

“By the last day they can’t wait to come back next year.”

“A lot of what the kids do is actually stuff they never get to do in the city,” says Warden, citing activities like swimming off a beach, sleeping in a cabin, tenting and hiking.

“The kids can just come and be comfortable with who they are.”

By supporting Camp Smitty and others like it, the Ottawa Senators Foundation gives kids unlimited opportunities to grow. Camp counsellors see it all the time, she says, as kids’ attitudes and goals evolve, and they aim ever higher.

Mayor stands alone over donation to proposed Roy Brown statue

BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

A motion carried two weeks earlier by Carleton Place council members in relation to the local Roy Brown Society’s proposed statue of Capt. Arthur Roy Brown stands following the corporate services meeting on Sept. 19.

With a 4-1 recorded vote, the $12,500 in the town’s 2017 budget for murals will be re-allocated to make a donation to the Roy Brown Society for a share of the cost of the Brown statue.

Mayor Louis Antonakos was logged as the sole “nay,” while councillors Brian Doucett and Ross Trimble were absent with regrets.

Brown, a First World War flying ace, is officially credited with shooting down German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, in the skies over wartorn France on April 21, 1918.

Brown was born in Carleton Place.

Rob Probert is president of the Roy Brown Society, and he is one of the organization’s co-founders. The group is dedicated to researching, preserving and telling the story of Brown.

Probert sees the Brown statue project, estimated at $205,000, as a self-funding initiative.

“It was never our intent to ask council to pay for this project,” he said. “We are, however, very pleased to see the $12,500 pledged toward the initiative,” a decision of the physical envi-

seeing injured soldiers with prosthetics and now they can run and compete at the upcoming Invictus Games.

The ever-humble Gray thanked everyone and quoted the Bible, Mark 9:23: “Everything is possible.” She admitted she was not a very good speaker and was overwhelmed by the large crowd.

“I wish Willis College all the best, I’ve been there in 1946 (serving in the Second World War) and now the technology is there and they (veterans) have the opportunity to go further,” said Bray. “It will be a wonderful for whoever comes into the Learning Centre.”

In fact on Monday, two veterans are starting at Willis College in the new VFTP as they have enrolled in the cyber technology course.

The praised poured in for Bray as Arnprior campus manager Bernard Doyle said it was one of their most monumental endeavours Willis College has ever embarked on.

“I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have Joan Bray here today … and I am not sure anything like this will ever happen again at Willis college,” said Willis College president and chief executive officer Rima Aristocrat. “I cannot be more thankful for you to allow us to name this centre after you, thank you so much for being here.”

Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn — Bray’s son-in-law, said he admired her longevity.

“To have this honour bestowed on my mother-in-law, she is just so deserving,” said Flynn. “We are all very proud of Joan.”

Arnprior Mayor David Reid called it an honour to name the new centre after Bray.

“It’s a wonderful initiative by Willis College,” said Reid. “Thank you Joan and George Sparkes (who also has a Veteran Learning Centre named after him in Ottawa) for all your doing to bring awareness to this cause.”

Renfrew — Nipissing — Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant noted it was fitting to hold the ceremony on Red Friday, which was started right in the Ottawa Valley to support the troops.

She compared the Invictus Games and Willis College saying they were both transformational in the lives

of veterans.

“Willis College took a shell of a building and made it a productive school and now they have started a transitional program for veterans,” said Gallant. “This isn’t something they were told to do but because of their love for their country.”

Creation of the Joan Bray Veteran Learning Centre started on June 19, and it took approximately two weeks.

The 1,400-square-foot space encompasses two classrooms, a student lounge and an office.

OPINION

Connected to your community

A reporter’s flat tire travesty I started with a flat tire and ended up with a broken jack, twigs in my hair and a mailman, turned mechanic and impromptu rescuer.

I woke up on Tuesday last week (our production day at the paper and busiest day of the week), got ready for work and proceeded to race to work.

Unbeknownst to me then, my Subaru had a flat tire. I got down the driveway and onto the road before I noticed (our driveway is gravel and pretty uneven).

Once I realized that I wouldn’t be able to drive my car to work, I turned around and headed back home.

No big deal, I thought. We have three vehicles just for situations like this.

I loaded my camera, notebook and lunch into our 2002 Jetta. It’s pretty sketchy these days, but it drives.

I headed out of the driveway and got about 10 kilometres away from home when I realized that something on the Jetta was dragging on the ground.

Scrreee … the sound made.

I tuned into a side street and the noise stopped. OK, I thought. Maybe it’s gone away. And it did, for a bit. I drove another six kilometres down the road and the noise started again.

Scrreee … the sound made again.

Except this time the noise, and whatever was causing it, started to affect my steering.

So, I pulled over, put the hazards on and checked it out. Sure enough a huge piece of plastic covering the undercarriage had come loose.

Laying on the ground on the side of the road, I pulled off the big piece of plastic and realized that the car might not be safe to drive.

I turned around again, called my fiancé and asked for help.

“You can change the tire on the Subaru yourself,” he said. “I’ll talk you through it over the phone.”

Step one: Get the tire, he said.

OK, should be simple enough, I thought.

Wrong.

After heaving one of my winter tires out of the back of the garage, I started to roll it out the door of the garage and down the stairs. But stupid me, thought the tire would stop once it left the garage. Well it didn’t. Instead, it started to roll down the hill in front of our house. It rolled about 200 metres with me chasing behind, pin wheeling my arms, and into the forest that lines our

With twigs now in my hair, I started the long journey of rolling the tire back up the hill and next to the car so I could start step two, jacking up the car.

Again, it should be simple enough, I thought.

Once I found the jack and a place to put it, I started to lift up the car. It was hard – too hard.

I asked my fiancé, who was still dutifully on the phone with me, why it was so hard.

He wasn’t sure.

“Are you turning the handle? Is it lifting?” he asked.

“Yes,” I responded. “But not that well.”

“Well, just keep going,” he said.

And I did. I lifted the car, was able to get all the nuts off and remove the problem tire.

I was centimetres away from getting the winter tire on, when the car crashed to the ground.

Vuumpp!

“Ahh!” I screamed.

The jack had broken. It had bent in half because I had put it under the car upside down. I learned this hours later after the picture of the set up I had sent my fiancé actually came through via text message because of our shoddy cell reception.

“What happened?” he asked.

“The jack broke,” I responded, and heaved the tools and tires crying angry tears.

“Why can’t I do this!?”

No one knew.

So, once my angry tears had finished, I realized I should have called CAA all along.

Once I called, I knew my saviour would be there soon.

But before CAA could get there, our mailman arrived.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

I explained the situation and he told me he could help.

“Great,” I said. “Thanks a million.”

The mail guy changed my tire and finally, after the emotional rollercoaster, I was on my way.

Fantastic ‘four’some

The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce golf tournament took place under sunny skies on Friday, Sept. 15, held at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. As a non-profit organization, the tournament is the chamber’s most important fundraiser. This year, the event raised $19,000. Above: Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn with his golfing buddies on the 14th hole, from left, architect Richard Chmiel, Flynn, FreshCo’s Peter Van Horik and son-in-law Terry Devlin.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader responds to previous OVRT use letters DEAR EDITOR:

Ever since there was talk about the purchase of the old rail line and now the construction of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) there has been much debate on who is going to be able to use the OVRT. The open town meetings in the communities where the trail will pass through were the places to voice your opinions and concerns not the media after the fact. On May 24, Lanark County council endorsed the OVRT to be multi-use and at that time it was decided that it would not be feasible to build for just a few types of users.

Because the town meetings were the avenue to voice and have your concerns heard, it is completely unfair to attempt to stop the use of ATV use on the OVRT through fear

mongering, false statements and unreasonable comparisons in the local media. This type of political maneuvering is not fair to the ATV community.

The most recent letter to the editor, on Sept. 7, compared a very tragic accident on Highway 7 between a cyclist and a large vehicle due to texting and driving, to what could transpire on the OVRT. An accident, such as this would be very unlikely because of the speed differentials, long site lines on the old rail line and it would be pretty much impossible to text while riding an ATV. The same letter states that the elderly, children, mobility, sight and hearing impaired will be at risk. Is it necessary to point out that one or more cyclists coming from behind and passing a person could just as easily

startle them as an ATV would. I would be more concerned for the safety of the aforementioned hypothetical group, in regards to undesirable wild life that may cross their path on the trail (bear, skunks, fishers).

Another letter to the editor published on June 1 stated that hundreds of noisy ATVs will be ripping up the trail, which, if this amount of demand was actually true, perhaps the trail should be built for off road vehicles only. For their information, the noise from the average ATV (depending on make and model) at the speed of 20mph is around 60-65db of which is measured 3m from behind the ATV. This is the same decibel range as an air See OVRT page A/CP9

HEREFORD, JOHN HENRY “HARRY”

Evelyn passed away peacefully at Valley Stream Retirement Home, Nepean, on Tuesday, September 19, 2017. Evelyn was in her 95th year.

She was born in Cardross, Saskatchewan to the late Stewart and Frances Traill (nee Burns).

Ev was predeceased by her loving husband, Alexander John (2005), her grandson, Alexander John (2008) and her dear brother, D’Arcy. Evelyn will be missed by her son, Alexander “Bud” and daughter, Frances Elin, both of Oxford Mills, Ontario. She was a grandmother to Tanya Lee, and great-grandmother to Bradlee and Alexandria “Allie”. She is survived by her dear sister, Dorothy “Dot” Ackerman, and her brothers, Vern, Les, and Edward Traill. Ev’s childhood dream was to become an airline stewardess; she began her career with the Royal Canadian Air Force, stationed in Manitoba. It was during this posting that Evelyn met her future soul mate and husband, Alec. Married life with Alec would take her and their children all across Canada and Europe as they pursued his military career. During these hectic years, Ev managed to carve out time to develop favourite pastimes and hobbies, such as oil painting, knitting, crocheting, gardening, and ceramics. By 1983, after completing their final posting in the nation’s capital, Ev and Alec were very excited to share their retirement years in a well-appointed home on Buckshot Lake. Evelyn took over Alec’s designated office space to create her own art studio, where she could devote hours to creating her oil painting masterpieces, which she loved to share with family and friends.

For health reasons, a relocation closer to Perth was necessary by 1996; Ev and Alec moved into a model house in the newly developed Perthmore subdivision.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, September 23 at 1:00 pm in the reception facilities of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Ltd. Mrs. Evelyn Milne’s arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, of Perth.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 47 - Thursday, September 28, 2017

Lanark Lodge undergoes successful annual inspection Council has received the annual Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care inspection results for Lanark Lodge.

Earlier this month, director Deborah Pidgeon presented the 2017 results in a report to the community services committee.

She explained inspectors have a duty to identify all non-compliances found during an inspection in their report. Instances and actions to be taken are then posted in homes, provided to residents’ and family councils, as well as published on the ministry’s website.

Inspections are unannounced and random, and they include protocols on admission processes, dining, infection prevention and control practices, resident charges, quality improvement practices, residents’ council interviews and family council interviews.

The unannounced visit to the

lodge by two inspectors for the annual review began on July 10 for a period of six days. It consisted of a compliance review, as well as a review of three incidents from 2017. The process included structured interviews with residents, family members and staff, direct observations of how care and services are being delivered, as well as specifically targeted health record reviews.

Pidgeon noted the lodge’s resident quality inspection results have been significantly better than the provincial average. The public report has been posted.

“The results of this inspection are a significant accomplishment for our organization and reinforce the high commitment to resident care and services,” Pidgeon said. “Each Lanark Lodge staff member contributed to the overall success of our on-site review and are to be congratulated on a highly successful annual inspection.”

Satisfaction survey completed for lodge Pidgeon presented the results of the resident/family satisfaction survey for 2017 at the community services committee meeting earlier this month, which was then received by council.

The anonymous survey helps the lodge to determine trends and make an action plan for improvements.

Residents and families could choose to complete the survey at computer kiosk, via an electronic link sent to the family distribution list or by using a paper copy; it was completed over four weeks in June. The target rate for completion was 30 per cent and the home achieved a response rate of 31 per cent. Twenty-four per cent of respondents were residents, while the rest were the power of attorney or friends of the residents.

Pidgeon said there is a trend that resident acuity rates are increas-

ing, resulting in fewer residents being able to complete it without help.

Ninety-four per cent of respondents indicated they are satisfied overall with the quality of care and services in the home, which is consistent over the last few years. As well, 98 per cent said they would recommend the home to a friend. Similarly high scores were received for family members feeling welcome, cleanliness of the home, enjoyable activities, meal quality, caring and compassionate nursing staff, communication about issues, meal choices and expressing opinions without fear of consequences. Areas of lower score included satisfaction with communication in the home (89 per cent) and medical care by the physician (84 per cent).

Pidgeon noted two new physicians have been recruited to support the medical director’s caseload and the lodge is also recruiting for a full-time nurse practitioner. “The remarkable rate of satisfaction achieved in overall care and services, as well as the individual ratings in a number of specific domains, speaks to the high level of concerted effort to promote the best care and services for our elders in Lanark County,” Pidgeon said.

Lanark Lodge strategic plan approved Council has approved the Lanark Lodge Strategic Plan for 2017 to 2019.

As the governing body for Lanark Lodge, council is ultimately responsible for the quality and safety of services delivered by the home and plays an important role in enabling an organizational culture that enhances resident safety.

The lodge completed an extensive consultation process for the strategic plan, which included an environmental scan, identification of the longterm vision and a strategy for achieving it.

Consultants Bessant Pelech and associates assisted with the process that included engaging residents, families, staff, community partners, members of its governing body, physicians, volunteers and the leadership team. The home’s strategy includes the pillars of “modelling the way,” “investing in our people” and “connecting with our community.”

There are long-term and shortterm goals, objectives, assigned responsibilities, timelines and deliverable for each pillar.

“The strategic plan will allow Lanark Lodge to put business challenges in perspective and tackle them in a co-ordinated way,” said Lanark Lodge director Deborah Pidgeon. “It will also serve as an effective communication tool to provide regular updates to our internal and external partners on our progress.”

For more information, contact Pidgeon, director of Lanark Lodge, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 7101.

Funds approved for after-school program Council passed a motion approv-

ing a request to transfer $10,000 in funding previously allocated to the Smiths Falls Youth Centre, which has since closed, to ensure programming for Smiths Falls youth can continue in 2017.

At the community services committee meeting earlier this month, a delegation consisting of Smiths Falls director of community services Art Manhire, Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director Jennifer Miller and Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) executive director Jeff Kohl highlighted their collaborative efforts to deliver an after-school program for Smiths Falls and area youth.

The plan is to ensure youth who were accessing services through the former youth centre have access to after-school resources, and to evaluate opportunities and needs to determine future programming. The town will offer in-kind space three nights per week for the program; YAK is providing the resources and programming; and Big Brothers Big Sisters is providing leadership, training, program oversight, administration and the hiring and management of staff.

Provincial funding through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has been confirmed. The reallocated funds will ensure programming until the end of this year and county staff will provide a report to the committee in October regarding the reallocation of the funds that were already designated for the centre in 2018.

For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, county chief administrative officer, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101.

Changes made to procedural bylaw Council has approved a bylaw to amend its procedural bylaw, which governs the calling, place and proceedings of meetings.

The procedural bylaw underwent a comprehensive review and rewrite in 2013, but several housekeeping items have been identified. Amendments included the addition of a definition for “New/Other Business,” an update to references to the technology used during meetings, a revision to the order of committee of the whole meetings, the addition of an item indicating delegations cannot address council on policy matters that have been decided within the last 12 months unless council is reconsidering them and an adjustment to references about correspondence circulation.

Council may be discussing changes to the warden nomination/election process at a future meeting. For more information, contact Leslie Drynan, clerk, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext.

1502.

Upcoming Meetings * County council: Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 5 p.m.; * Community services: Wednesday, Oct. 11 (following county council).

Inattentive drivers causing more collisions than impaired, speeding motorists Inattentive driving is linked to more collisions on Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)-patrolled roads so far this year than speeding and alcohol/drug-related collisions combined.

Since Jan. 1, driver distraction has been reported as the primary cause in 6,360 road collisions.

In contrast, speed was the primary cause in 4,700 crashes, while 1,158 of the incidents involved a driver who consumed alcohol or drugs.

A total of 47 people have died so far this year because of an inattentive driver, up from 39 such deaths this time last year.

"Our collision data is compelling evidence that drivers who text, talk on their cellphone or are distracted in some other way, take a tremendous toll on the safety of those who share the road

with them,” said OPP Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes.

“Public complacency about inattentive driving can be just as dangerous as the behaviour itself. Until drivers, passengers and the general public take a firm stand against this road safety issue, these tragedies are expected to continue in large numbers on our roads.''

With children and other students taking to the streets and being bused to school, the need for motorists to pay full attention to driving — and for others to take a firm stand against drivers who are not — has never been greater.

How you can help • As a driver, keep your cellphone out of sight. If you need to

use it, pull over at a safe location.

• As a passenger, speak up and voice your concerns about your safety when travelling with a distracted driver. By ignoring the problem, you are contributing to the problem.

• Spread the word at your school or workplace about the dangers of distracted driving.

• Highlight the dangers of distracted driving on social media.

• Be a voice in your community.

With the exception of 2012, inattentive drivers have taken more lives on OPP-patrolled roads than speeding and alcoholimpaired drivers since Ontario distracted driving laws took effect in 2009.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may seem like you have long been preparing for a big event. Now is your chance to finally take action. Try to do something proactive this week. You are ready to move forward.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

As far as property values go, I know that properties will be more desirable and will be worth more with a multiuse trail, rather than the old rail system and a train at 83db going by four to five times a day.

People have suggested that bypass options may be considered for ATVs. The problem will still exist because ATVs will just be going through other parts of communities and will be on the same streets and roadways as the aforementioned members of the community who also use these routes now and consequently nothing is resolved. Having ATVs share the road with vehicles is far riskier for ATV users. A bypass changes nothing in regards to safety for all concerned.

The only real solution here folks, is to co-habituate with ALL users of the multi-use trail. Instead of who’s on it and who’s not, maybe time will be more usefully spent on coming up with a list of trail use etiquette that can be posted such as: • Don’t walk the trail with music in your ears so not to be able to hear someone coming up from behind whether it be another person, cyclist or a ATV; • Don’t walk/ ride in the middle of the trail;

The next meeting of Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee is coming up on Thursday, October 5th.

Agenda items at this upcoming meeting include the following: • Zoning By-Law Amendments for: o 3719 Dunrobin Road (West Carleton) o 1156 Jinkinson Road (Rideau-Goulbourn) o 5721, 5731, 5741 Manotick Main Street (Rideau-Goulbourn) • Boundary Road Agreement Report • Rural Coach Houses on Private Services The Zoning By-Law Amendment for 1156 Jinkinson Road is an expansion of Cavanagh’s Henderson Quarry.

Already approved through the Province’s Aggregate Resources Act, the amendment changes the zoning from Mineral Reserve (MR) to Mineral Extraction (ME). A portion of the MR zone will also change to Environmental Protection (EP3) as a buffer between the quarry and the neighbouring wetland.

The report on coach houses deals specifically with coach houses being developed in the rural area on private services, i.e.: well and septic. The report attempts to soften some of the requirements imposed last year for those wishing to build a coach house on their property.

For properties on municipal services, one just requires a building permit. The development on private services is a little more complex because well and septic capacity has to be considered.

The Boundary Road Agreement report deals with all of the roads that the City of Ottawa shares with our neighbouring municipalities, including Beckwith Township and Lanark County. One such road that has caused concern is Ashton Station Road. This report is aimed at addressing maintenance issues between the City and Beckwith. As of right now, Beckwith has not agreed but the City of Ottawa continues to work with them on the agreement.

The agenda and all reports are available at Ottawa.ca and we also send out the agenda with my monthly e-Newsletter, which you can sign up for at RideauGoulbourn.ca. If you have any questions regarding any of the items above, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

RVCA Tree Planting Program

Money is available to landowners interested in planting trees. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority offers private landowners tree planting programs that help them get technical advice, planting plans and funding for trees.

To be eligible, landowners need at least one acre of land and are willing to plant a minimum of 500 trees.

If you have the space, RVCA can help get trees growing on your land for 15 cents a tree. Since 1983, RVCA has planted over 5.25 million trees on private property for landowners. For more information please visit the RVCA’s website.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491. For information on Rideau-Goulbourn issues, please visit RideauGoulbourn.ca.

STATUE

From page A/CP5

“he knows what he is doing,” stated deputy mayor Jerry Flynn.

In 2013, Boyce raised more than $36,000 for a bronze statue in memory of abuse victim Jeffrey Baldwin. The five-year-old Toronto boy died of starvation at the hands of his grandparents.

Located in Greenwood Park in Ontario’s capital, the statue famously depicts Baldwin as seen in one of the few happy moments in his short life — wearing a Superman costume.

With the exception of a proper rendering of what the Brown statue will look like, something to be used to help with fundraising, Probert noted the statue would not be contracted (casted, etc.) until all necessary monies are in place.

The Roy Brown Society has been approved for a matching federal contribution grant from the Commemorative Partnership Program, offered by way of Veterans Affairs Canada. The grant

is for up to $50,000 of the project costs.

“Todd is getting ready to launch a national fundraising campaign, and he has identified a funding source through the Department of Heritage that we will be applying for as well,” Probert said. “This is substantial money, and it will not be easy to get.”

He added: “It will be a lot of hard work on Todd’s part; however, we think the efforts are well worth it.”

The Roy Brown Society is optimistic the funds can be raised quickly, but it has some administrative work ahead: establishing a bank account, handling donations, charitable receipts, etc.

The Brown statue, made of bronze, will stand seven-feet tall, with the flying ace in proper military uniform, and it will feature a large granite stone backdrop and a bronze propeller. The monument will be dedicated to all First World War aviators from Carleton Place, and it is intended to educate visitors on their impact in shaping the future of the Ca-

A native of Perth, Carleton Place resident Todd Boyce is leading an initiative of the town’s Roy Brown Society for a statue of Capt. Arthur Roy Brown. Above, Bryce addresses the corporate services meeting on Sept. 19. nadian Air Force.

During the First World War, Carleton Place, with a population of 4,300, produced 23 military pilots. With a combined 93 victories, eight achieved the status of ace.

“Seven were awarded the distin-

guished flying cross,” Probert explained.

“Brown received the honour twice, and (in 2015) he was inducted as a member of Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame.”

“Brown was not the most prolific pilot, but he was certainly the most famous,” he said.

“Brown is a local hero, not only for shooting down the Red Baron, but for the career he had,” Bryce said.

Wilfrid R. “Wop” May was another Canadian flying ace. Brown saved May. “Wop May was the last allied pilot to be pursued by von Richthofen before the German pilot was shot down by Brown,” Bryce stated. “May went on to have a great influence on how Canadian search and rescue is performed.”

May, during the late 1930s, introduced the idea of having parachute jumpers dropped in on the crash sites to stabilize the injured pilots.

Probert noted the Brown statue would be placed in the downtown core on the north side of the historic Moore

House. The Moore House, the location of the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce and Information Centre, accommodates an exhibit dedicated to Brown.

“Even though – technically – it is not your business, I am more than happy to keep the town’s treasurer posted as we progress through this process,” he added.

“I did not support this motion two weeks ago for a number of reasons, and I cannot support the motion the way it has been presented tonight,” Antonakos stated. “There are too many things that have been brought to our attention, and I do not know where these funds are going.”

“I support project, not the motion,” the mayor continued. “We do not know what we are buying here.”

Council members will also consider the re-allocation of mural monies in the town’s 2018 budget – $5,000, to the statue project.

Architects for the New Emergency Department Announced Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) has retained the services of Parkin Architects Limited to design the new Emergency Department (ED). The firm was chosen following a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

“Parkin has an excellent reputation and extensive experience in the health care field,” notes Mary Wilson Trider, President & CEO. “We are looking forward to working with Parkin’s local architects in Ottawa to design a new Emergency Department for our surrounding communities.”

Over the past 60 years, Parkin has designed some of Canada’s most notable buildings, including many hospitals. Robert Boraks is a Director at Parkin and also manages the Ottawa office: “Parkin is thrilled to be working with the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital team and the local community to develop the new Emergency Department. We look

forward to working together on this exciting project.”

The new ED will better support patients and staff with modern and flexible space. It will be able to adapt to peak volumes, provide improved patient privacy and satisfaction, and increase infection control standards.

“As part of our extensive research, the functional programmers and architects will work together to identify other EDs for our staff can visit. They will help us ask the right questions to ensure the very best design for our building,” adds Wilson Trider.

Over the past few months, hospital staff have been working with Resource Planning Group (RPG) to develop a Functional Plan for the project. The plan helps to define the future needs of patients and the physical space required to support these needs. It includes workflow processes, room types and room sizes to inform the design and layout of the new department. The final functional plan will be submitted to the Ministry of Health in the fall.

At every stage, there will be numerous meetings with CPDMH staff to create a design that meets present and future needs and aspirations. In its submission, Parkin commented on the importance of listening to, and benefiting from, the experience and understanding of all stakeholders: “We will listen and we will support the community in delivering a project that inspires confidence and excitement. Our approach is one that factors in multiple stakeholders’ needs to develop a final product that is tailored to each client’s functional requirements and sustainability initiatives.”

Once the Functional Plan is approved, the project moves into Stage 3 which is Preliminary Design. During this stage, preliminary block and sketch designs are developed. As well, details About all major components, timelines and costs are prepared and submitted for approval.

Construction is expected to begin within 30 months. For the latest updates on the new ED, visit www.cpdmh.ca/redevelopment.

FAMILY

From front page

the fire was accidental.

William was working at the time of the blaze, but Diana, Alexander and Laura were present. Luckily, no one was injured, and two of the family’s three cats survived.

Covered by insurance, the family will rebuild. It is expected to take about eight months.

On Wednesday, Diana told this newspaper she and her children have already moved into a rental home on Denise Crescent, located in the Maggie’s Place subdivision (Luxart Homes). The house, which is a short distance from their former abode, came fully furnished.

The year 2017 has already been extremely difficult for the family. Diana’s husband, Edwin Eden, passed away from cancer in January, and her father lost his battle with the disease in July. Diana and Edwin had only purchased their “dream home” in July 2016.

Employed with the Ottawa Catholic School Board, Diana is a teacher at St. Michael School in Corkery.

William is a recent Algonquin College graduate. He studied aircraft maintenance engineering. Right now, he has a part time job. Alexander attends St. Luke Catholic High School in Smiths Falls, and Laura is a student at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place.

On Sept. 12, the day after the fire, Diana told this newspaper in a written statement: “Community support has been overwhelming – the kindness and spontaneous outreach from people in Almonte, Beckwith, Carleton Place, Ottawa and Perth.

Our family is feeling the support and compassion of neighbours.

We especially want to thank the Beckwith firefighters who came so promptly, and in particular the firefighter who went back to the burning house to get Alexander.”

Algonquin College, William’s alma mater, reached out to support the family by way of a care package.

Too, a replacement diploma will be created for William.

“The school contacted me,” William said on Wednesday. “It was really nice.”

Carleton Place deputy mayor Jerry Flynn and his wife, Debbie McVie, are members of Hometown Hearts. Flynn was absent from

Wednesday night’s county council meeting, rolling up his sleeves to man the grill alongside Rob Carpenter of The Beckwith Butcher and others, including Beckwith Coun. Faye Campbell, Brad Occomore and Mike Sharp, just to name a few.

Flynn and McVie understand the difficulty the Eden family is going through, having lost their home to a fire in 1992.

Many hugs and tears were given and shed during Wednesday’s barbecue.

“I am not sure I can even express in words how I feel,” Hometown Hearts member Shannon O’Neill commented.

Clockwise from top left: An emotional Diana Eden of Beckwith who lost everything she and her three children owned in a devastating house fire on Sept. 11 hugs Hometown Hearts member Shannon O’Neill on Sept. 20; from left, Laura, Alexander and William Eden; and Hometown Hearts hosted a fundraising barbecue outside The Beckwith Butcher in Carleton Place for the family, raising an outstanding $3,500, along with $500 in gift cards. Carleton Place’s Christmas Day committee presented the family with $250, and students from Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, which is where Laura attends classes, arrived on scene with a $4,100 cheque.

Fostering a Safe & Healthy One Workplace Shared Leadership Year September 28, 2017 Just over a year ago Rachel de Kemp, Vice President Patient/Resident Services & Chief Nursing Executive, Randy Shaw Vice President Corporate Support Services and I took on the challenge of shared leadership between Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital.

For us, the past twelve months have been busy, challenging and exciting. Each of us has had to learn a new organization. Randy and I have gotten to know the CPDMH and its community while Rachel has learned all about the AGH and the people it serves.

With tremendous help from our teams that support Senior Management and the Medical Staffs we have worked hard to find the right balance of time on site in each organization without spending all day

driving up and down Highway 29. We don’t have it perfect yet, but we’re trying hard as we believe in the importance of face-to-face time with our staff, physicians, volunteers, patients and families.

Another thing we’ve learned is just how much paper one person can carry around in their car!

The leaders and staff in each organization have also had to get used to a new way of working with us, including more communication by telephone and email than in the past. It has been a year of learning for them too and we thank all of them for their patience and flexibility.

As I’ve said before, one of the greatest benefits of working in both places is the opportunity to see best practices in each organization which can be shared with the other. We have already acted upon many opportunities to improve procedures, processes and policies and to implement additional shared resources.

The Boards of Directors are also working more closely together. One of their important initiatives is developing new strategic directions for the two hospital corporations that will be launched soon.

During the stakeholder consultations that informed the upcoming strategic plan we heard a lot about the value and potential of the Mississippi River Health Alliance as well as strong encouragement to keep going. Much of what we have done in the first year has been laying the groundwork for more collaboration in the future.

As shared leaders, we are excited about what we have experienced in our first year and look forward to moving both organizations forward together in the year to come.
