Where and when to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

Residents of Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills — like other Canadians — will gather on Nov. 11 to observe Remembrance Day, honouring the men and women of the Armed Forces who paid the supreme sacrifice during the First World War, Second World War and Korean War, as well as Afghanistan and peacekeeping missions. First World War hostilities formally ended in 1918 — on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 conducts the Remembrance Day service in Carleton Place, which begins at 11 a.m. and takes place at the cenotaph in Memorial Park, between Judson and Beckwith streets. In advance, led by the legion’s colour party, a parade of veterans, legion members, police and fire services, and others departs from the town hall at 10:40 a.m. The parade makes its way up Mill Street to Bridge Street, before proceeding along the main thoroughfare to Franklin Street (Veterans Way) and down to the cenotaph. The parade commander is branch 192 president Peter Schaffer, and leading the colour party is sergeant-at-

arms Barry Pascoe. The Remembrance Day service is carried out in the traditional manner: the reading of the honour roll, the playing of the Last Post, the laying of wreaths, a gun salute and a two-minute wave of silence. Once again, the Silver Cross representative is Joan Bray, a Second World War veteran (medic) and longtime resident of Carleton Place. Following the service, everyone is invited to the legion hall, located at 177 George St., for refreshments and camaraderie. New this year “We have two added attractions this year for our ceremony,” Ron Goebel told the Canadian Gazette. Goebel is a member of Branch 192 and the chair of Ontario Provincial Command. On Nov. 11, Goebel will share MC duties with branch 192's immediate past president, Brian Comeau. Beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 10, and continuing until the municipality’s Remembrance Day ceremony at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps 211 Lanark is holding an all-night candlelight vigil See REMEMBER page A/CP2

Conference examines lasting impact of Protestant Reformation’s 500th anniversary BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

It makes for a great story. And as powerful religious images go, the image of Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk at the University of Wittenberg, Germany, nailing his 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg’s Castle Church, on Oct. 31, 1517, is an endearing one – even if the story is, likely, apocryphal, like George Washington cutting down a cherry tree. However, Luther did indeed write down 95 theses and sent them along to Archbishop Albert of Mainz (according to Matt Steinglass, writing in The Economist magazine), which essentially started the ball rolling. But for Protestants the world over, that date still, for them, marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation, and the schism between Protestants and the

The painting “Martin Luther’s 95 Theses” (1872), oil on canvas, 85 x 72 cm, by Ferdinand Pauwels (1830-1904). While the story of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church door is likely a legend, Luther did compose this work, and it marks what many believe to be the start of the Protestant Reformation, and the start of the scism between the Roman Catholic church and Protestant churches, 500 years ago.

Roman Catholic Church. Locally, a “Reformation 500 Conference” was held at the Community Health Centre, 2 Gould St., in Smiths Falls, on Saturday, Oct. 28. Rev. Kenneth MacDonald, of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing), was one of the speakers that day, at the tail end of his six-week visit to Canada. He was due to return to the Scottish island of Lewis on the west coast on Halloween, and he reported the conference “went well,” with about 40 people in attendance, some from as

far away as upstate New York. “We were quite pleased with the turnout.” MacDonald said that the “main thrust,” of his speech was about the “five solas,” guiding ideals of Protestantism: 1. Christ alone; 2. Faith alone; 3. Grace alone; 4. Glory to God alone; 5. Bible (scripture) alone. “Luther was the beginning of our change,” MacDonald said during a telephone interview on the morning of Monday, Oct. 30. The church in Rome had been “abusing its privileges,” granting indulgences, which Joan Acocella, writing in this week’s edition The New Yorker, wrote was “a kind of late-medieval get-out-of-jail-free card used by the church to make money.” She further explained that when “a Christian purchased an indulgence from the church, he obtained – for himself or whomever he was trying to benefit – reduction in the amount of time the person’s soul had to spend in Purgatory,” a place Christians believe that souls stay in a state of limbo after

death, not Hell, but not Heaven either. When Luther visited Rome himself, the only time he left Germany, “he was very disappointed” with what he saw in the Eternal City, with its grand palaces, decadence, indulgence, and expensive art, and the corruption that went with it. “(There was) a lot of corruption,” he said, before adding that that “was not to say,” that there is not corruption to be found even today in Protestant churches. (Purgatory itself is a concept contested by Protestants. Purgatory is not mentioned in the bible, according to Acocella.) However, MacDonald noted that Luther’s break with the Catholic hierarchy was not total. “He was, himself, a Catholic,” said MacDonald. “He held on to some of these,” beliefs, even after his break.

OH! Tourism Summit celebrates culture and community in Ontario’s Highlands More than 100 delegates gathered in front of the red curtain at The Village Playhouse in Bancroft on Oct. 23 for a community event unlike any other. OH! Tourism Summit, the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s seventh annual Tourism Conference & AGM, packed the house that day, shaking up the traditional “conference vibe” and setting the stage for a unique program that placed tourism, community and culture in the limelight. The day began with an official Land Acknowledgment and FourDirectional Ceremony in honour and respect of the land, plants, animals, stories and Indigenous Peoples of the unceded Bancroft region, which is located in the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg. Algonquin Elder, Ada Tinney, led the ceremony, along with Karen Moon Beam (Warner), acknowledging the ancestors and spirits of the territory and thanking Indigenous peoples for taking care of this land and for sharing it with newcomers and those who have the opportunity to work in this community. The ceremony also incorporated smudging, an offering of tobacco to Elder Ada, a drum song and an opening prayer. “We are so honoured and grateful for such a special and important beginning to OH!

lands and waterways upon which we guide visitors. It allowed us to approach the rest of the day with an openness to explore possibility and learn from one another.” The program included OHTO’s

Annual General Meeting, during which Whiting encouraged the Ontario’s Highlands tourism community to rally together to inspire new visitors to the region using the newly launched Come Wander brand platform, which she referred to as a regional “team jersey”. A keynote by Chris Williams, vice-president of digital assets with the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA) outlined the secrets to making an impact on digital channels, such as focusing on only a few social channels at a time, and, in the afternoon, OHTO’s marketing manager and tourism development co-ordinator explained how to build a destination story from product to promotion. In the afternoon, a group of business owners and tourism champions from across the region took part in a panel discussion. Speaking directly to their peers, who understand the specific challenges of a rural tourism landscape, the panelists discussed what drives them and offered real-life tips for turning their ideas into reality, such as community partnerships. “If I don’t have a good reason for saying no, I usually say yes,” said Andre Rieux of Pakenham’s Cartwright Springs Brewery, who has collaborated on a dark dining event with 2 Grands Piano Bar and

The Hastings County Tourism Awards were a perfect ending to the day, recognizing the achievements of the local tourism community. “It was wonderful to see many of our tourism operators – even those who live and work hours away from Hastings County – stay into the evening to applaud the hard work of their colleagues,” says Whiting. Tweed and Company Theatre took home the award for Tourism Champion of the Year; the Municipality of Tweed’s Farm to Table: Canada 150 Community Dinner won Festival of the Year, and Nancy Hopkins of Country Roads Magazine was named MVP of the Year.

REFORMATION

From page 2

the clergy over the ordinary people.” Before then, “the clergy were (seen as) special people, or (at a) higher level than ordinary people.” A priest’s hands, for example, were considered to be sacred ground, as they touched the communion wafer, which Catholics believe to be, through the concept of “transubstantiation” to become, during the mass, the literally body of Jesus Christ. Once people no longer felt they needed the intercession of a priest, that gave many the feeling of “emancipation,” in other areas, said MacDonald. Before the reformation, “people were terrified of offending the church,” especially since the church was so intertwined with the state in so many aspects of civil life, like education. There were other technological advances which were shaking things up too, such as the invention of Guttenburg’s press, which made the bible available to thousands of Christians. “The bible became primer,” for many people, said MacDonald, since, at the time, it may well be the only book that a family would have at their home. In an interesting parallel to Saint Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, MacDonald himself started his working life as a carpenter, before coming a Christian in his 30s (though he said he was raised in a Christian home.) He spent five years in South Africa doing missionary work – which coincided with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in February of 1990. “It was an interesting experience,” said MacDonald of being in South Africa at that historic time, another time of upheaval, like the reformation. “He (Mandela) could’ve caused a bloodbath,” said MacDonald, but, “he showed good restraint,” which speaks to his legacy. MacDonald then returned to Scotland where he served as a minister before retiring last year.

R0013021901

Local voices The conference also heard speakers from closer to home as well, including Rev. Kevin Carter of Hope Presbyterian Church in Kingston. When asked what impact the ref-

Kristine Geary’s

ormation continued to have 500 years later, Carter laughed and said, “that’s a huge question!” before answering that “in its immediate fashion, the reformed church is always reforming.” Like MacDonald, Carter also asserted the “solas” points of Protestant theology (Christ alone, grace alone, et cetera), and, as Protestants, they are “always struggling to maintain a true biblical understanding.” One of the immediate effects of the reformation was “stirring the church up,” as, many Protestants felt, that the Roman Catholic Church had “fell back into tradition.” Carter hastened to add that traditions are “not necessarily bad,” but that there have been times when the “church takes over in matters of faith.” One example is transsubstantion, which Catholics are required to believe in, but Protestants do not, to varying degrees. Anglicans, for example, still use communion, but as a tradition, while some Baptist churches will have a communion table, but more as a memorial. Reconciliation There are many bible verses about reconciliation, such as Ephesians 2: 1422, where it is written that “In Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross.” When asked about Protestants and Catholics reconciling in the future, Carter said that, for the “universal church…there are things that do connect us. We do find commonality.” While Jesus is at the centre of the Christian faith, Carter said that differences between denominations grow greater when it comes to interpreting scripture. “We recognize that we are not going to be truly one until the Lord returns,” he said. “This side of Heaven, we will have our differences.” After the reformation, with the power of the church in Rome diminished, there was also, according to Carter, “a clearer understanding of the differences between church and state,” he said, something that echoes into modern western civilization today. But, even there, he explained that God created three states: family, church, and state, and that “each one has a role within

society.” However, in the 500 years of the reformation, the idea of the “Lord’s sovereignty over society…has gone. We live in a more secular world.” Another change brought about by the reformation has been “a greater worldwide zeal for evangelism,” where the bible was brought out from Europe to places like

Africa and Asia. He stressed that evangelization differed from colonialism, but evangelization followed in its wake. Belief in Christianity is on the wane in some part of the world, and there may be a need for another “renaissance. It will take another revivalism…to bring a greater awareness of 1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com God.”

Sticker shock remains

A

s much as it’s nice not to have to pay for a Drive Clean test these days, there’s still a lingering odour associated with the annual licence plate sticker renewal fee hikes with which Ontarians had to deal over the course of several years. Perhaps it can be argued that paying $120 for the privilege of operating a vehicle for one year is reasonable, and maybe we should be thankful there is no price hike this year or next. We once again note the efficient service offered at the privately run Service Ontario outlet in downtown Prescott. And in fairness to the government, we acknowledge that the time it takes to actually renew a sticker in person has definitely decreased — assuming all of the information needed to complete the transaction is readily available, of course. One of the customers who was in the short lineup when the outlet opened on Saturday morning observed that motorists are actually paying more for the privilege

of keeping their vehicles on the road. The drive clean fee of $30 plus tax is no longer paid by the vehicle owner every two years, but that is offset by the amounts by which the sticker renewals have increased. We’ve stated it before and we’re going to mention it yet again: most Ontarians are willing to pay reasonable rates for goods and services and accept price hikes if and when they can be justified. Many of us are unable to comprehend how hiking sticker renewals by $46 over a five-year period is fair. Unless the province can demonstrate that charging $74 in 2012 was woefully inadequate, the obvious conclusion that can be drawn is that the multiple increases add up to nothing more than a tax grab. We can only hope that the extra revenue generated by driver and vehicle fee hikes is actually going for much-needed highway and infrastructure maintenance and improvements as the provincial government has indicated.

Father believed there was always a solution for everything It had been a hot summer. Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox. Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the ice house could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day. But as summer turned into fall and the days got shorter, even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen and more ice brought into the ice house. And so it was that fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in. The youngest of us were not allowed in the ice house in the

day was sunny and warm but with frosty nights, telling us soon we would be blocked in with drifts of snow and impassable roads, but cutting ice in the river still a long way off. Mother, I knew, was wor-

hot summer, just in case we let in the heat. Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid. The little black building was built on the north side of the barn to protect it as much as possible from the sun, and wagonload after wagonload of sawdust was dragged from the sawmill to cover the ice. The big black tongs hung on a spike outside the building, and only Audrey or Father were the ones to bring a block into the icebox when needed. And now, Father said, it looked like we might run out of ice before the Bonnechere froze over. Now, the block in the Barnett was allowed to melt until there was nothing to prove it had ever been there. My job was to emp-

ty the basin of water that piped down when the ice melted, and I was both glad and anxious when it now had to be done only every second day. Glad that I didn’t have to worry about the water filling the pan and spilling out on the floor through my neglect, but anxious, wondering where we would put our food when the ice house was empty. And the fall dragged on. The leaves had turned, fallen, were raked up and burned. And each

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader questions why MP singles out Bill C-45 in household mailout DEAR EDITOR:

As a resident of the federal riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, I recently received the householder mailing of our MP, Scott Reid, in which Mr. Reid asks his constituents to vote on Bill C-45 (The Cannabis Act) as a means of determining how he, himself, will then vote. In other words, Mr. Reid says he will

vote according to the results of this “constituency referenda.” On the face of it, giving voters a form of direct democracy like this seems admirable. However, it begs questions. In June, Mr. Reid voted in favour of Bill C-45 at Second

Reading. So why this referendum now? What is so notably pressing about the marijuana issue that Mr. Reid feels a need to be led by his constituents in terms of his vote, as opposed to any other issue? Surely there is more pressing public interest legislation that he might ask for his constituents to weigh in on (climate change-related, for example). And for that matter, why not hold a referendum to help prioritize the demonstra-

bly major issues, then ask for constituents to vote on every one? Since first elected to the House of Commons in 2000, Mr. Reid has utilized “constituency referenda” six other times, on matters concerning (in order) endangered species, terrorism, same-sex marriage, abortion, assisted dying, and electoral reform. Three of those times, over 2001-2005, were when the Liberal Party held power, and the last two times were in 2016 with the Liberals again in power.

Which begs further questions: In the nearly 10-year period Mr. Reid’s Conservative party held power (2006-2015), why did he ask his constituents only once for their guidance on how he should vote (in that case, on the hot-button abortion issue)? Is this technique something he likes to do while sitting with the Opposition, and something he was shy to do as a member of the governing party? Rob Rainer Tay Valley

knew, as soon as our feet hit the floor, the nice fall days were over. It would just be a matter of time before winter would close in around us. But February, which was usually the month Father took ice from the river, was still months away. I worried every day that we would run out of ice, our food would spoil and my entire family would either die of starvation or food poisoning. But Father didn’t seem to be that worried. He, as always, had a solution ... one that had been used on that farm for three generations. Out in the summer kitchen

was an old table that held cans of paint, bits and pieces of wood, and other things which didn’t seem to have a home. Father moved it to the centre of the floor, took four empty tin cans, filled them with coal oil, and put one under each leg. Mother covered it with a worn piece of oilcloth, and that table became our “icebox.” Mother, whose concern was that a mouse would get onto our food, was assured by Father that no mouse could climb a table leg over a can of coal oil. And so leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, then in many layers of the Renfrew Mercury, and taken out to the summer kitchen, where they either froze or were kept

well chilled until used in a meal. No longer did we have to worry about running out of ice from the ice house. There were still a few blocks left for chipping into a glass of well water, but the big oak Barnett lay idle, its shelves empty, but its big door left ajar to air out until once again, it would be filled with a block of ice from the Bonnechere. Father was right. If you use your head, there is a solution for just about everything. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Nov. 18 Snow Ball raises funds for Merrickville-Wolford food cupboard The Snow Ball, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Merrickville Community Centre is the first of three events being held by the hungertour for the upcoming Christmas season. With twinkling lights and snowflakes hanging all around, the community centre will be transformed into a magical land of music and dance. It will be a night you won’t soon forget. The artists’ high energy and originality all will leave you wanting more. Organizers have put together a mix of very talented local musician strung together in one amazing show. I can’t say enough about the talent you will find under one roof. Please come out and support the local food cupboard in Merrickville-Wolford and bring a non-perishable food item if you wish. Make sure to be wearing you dancing shoes. Last year’s show was sold out and this year’s lineup is even better, including Maria Hawkins (a.k.a. The

Blues Lady of Ottawa). Maria reaches deep into her own experience of poverty and hardship to deliver vocals that are powerful, passion¬ate and authentic. And it’s not just blues the lady sings; Maria mixes it up with elements of R&B, funk and soul. All that, and a back-up band packed with virtuoso players driving the beat right to your feet! Also performing is Anna Ludlow. Nothing makes the toes tap like a Cape Breton jig, and nobody spins one out with more joy or precision than Anna Ludlow. Her love of Celtic-inspired music comes straight from the Nova Scotia heartland where she grew up and learned to play. Get ready for a high-energy performance filled with slick riffs, sweet songs, and a little step-dancing too! Time to rock it out, people. Sophia Radisch is an award-winning, Ottawabased actress and musician who’s been writing and per-

forming since she was 13. She uses a Gibson guitar and Marshall amps to produce a sound that is, at once, nostalgic and original, roughedged and sultry. Don’t miss this chance to see one of Canada’s most exciting upand-coming musical talents. Last, but certainly not least, is Ali McCormick … a singer/songwriter with her feet firmly planted in familiar soil. The “Lioness of Lanark” (so named for her thick mane of strawberry-blonde hair) brings that country feeling to the night’s musical menu. Her songs are honest, earthy and beautifully crafted. What a line-up! And only $30 per person. Tickets are available at Hungertour. com, the Village Bean Coffee Shop on St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville, and at the Merrickville Book Emporium. Show time is from 7 p.m. to midnight, with all the proceeds going to the Merrickville Food Bank.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s stay in Saranac Lake intriguing story the mountain town that currently bills itself as “The Adirondacks’ Coolest Place.” I doubt Stevenson or his family would dispute that claim either. They spent the frosty winter of 188788 in Saranac Lake. How the author of such literary classics as Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ended up in the remote mountains of upstate New York is well explained during a visit to the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial Cottage in Saranac Lake. The Stevenson Society, based in the town, claims to own “the world’s finest collection of Stevenson lore.” The extensive collection is now housed in four of the seven rooms the author and his family rented from the Bakers, a prominent local family for whom the nearby Baker Mountain is named. I’ve known about Stevenson’s connection to Saranac Lake and the museum devoted to his fascinating life for many years. It’s a place Kathleen and I had always meant to visit but something else inevitably got in the way.

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Until two weeks ago, that is! The museum is seasonal (July 1 to Columbus Day) but the website says it is open year-round by appointment. We were on holiday, staying in nearby Lake Placid. I made a telephone appointment and on Oct. 20 we spent a delightful hour at the Stevenson cottage, guided by the live-in curator Michael Delahant. He’s a delightful chap and a fount of knowledge about Stevenson’s life in general and his winter in Saranac Lake in particular. Delahant, his wife and their dog live in the section of the house not occupied by the museum. He has followed in the footsteps of his late grandfather and father, who were both curators of

the museum. Not surprisingly, Delahant is also the head of the Stevenson society, whose tiny office is located on the second floor of the historic structure. The oldest part of the residence was rented to Stevenson, his American-born wife Fanny, his mother, one of his stepsons and a servant. That section, which dates from 1855, is believed to be the oldest structure still standing in Saranac Lake. We had the benefit of a personal tour and Delahant’s intimate knowledge of the subject matter meant we learned a great deal in 60 minutes. Health problems The Edinburgh-born Stevenson inherited a tendency for coughs, breathing difficulties and fevers which, at the time, was referred to as “a weak chest.” Ill health dogged him throughout his life. He regularly travelled to warmer climes in France in an effort to recuperate. Stevenson and Fanny married in California in 1880, where he had also gone in search of better

health. Back in Scotland and England, he tried in vain to locate a place suitable to his delicate condition. Eventually, the Stevensons settled in Bournemouth on England’s south coast. Following the success of Jekyll and Hyde (released in January 1886), the writer’s reputation grew and his financial situation was also much improved. Stevenson decided to take his physician’s advice and find a completely different climate. In the fall of 1887, the family sailed for New York City, bound for the mountains of Colorado. Delahant told us that by the time they arrived in New York, Stevenson was so sick that they sought a closer refuge. Saranac Lake and its pure mountain air were recommended. They travelled there by train, arriving on Oct. 3, 1887. He remained there until April 18, 1888, although his wife found it so cold in the winter that she visited the

My wife and I travel to the picturesque Adirondack Park in upstate New York once or twice annually. It doesn’t matter what time of year we choose because the mountains, lakes, rivers and ponds of the region are breathtaking all year round. I could easily reverse that last thought and say “breathgiving” instead. That’s because the fresh, clean mountain air drew people to the Adirondacks for health reasons for many years. If he was still with us, one famous person who would wholeheartedly support my thoughts about the fresh air in the Adirondacks is the late, great Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. Over the years, I have written about some of the many fascinating true-life stories that have emerged from what is perhaps the most desolate, but also the most beautiful, region in expansive New York state. However, until now I have not outlined the intriguing story of Stevenson’s six-month stay in Saranac Lake,

It’s a season of premiere productions at Full Circle Theatre When Daniel Rover Singer’s A Perfect Likeness opened at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre just after Thanksgiving, it was the start of an entire season of premiere productions at “the little theatre that could.” A Perfect Likeness was the Canadian premiere of Singer’s script and the production was acclaimed by playgoers as one of BDP’s best ever, with one reviewer summing up the amateur show with “This play would shine on the professional stage anywhere!” But things move quickly in theatre. A Perfect Likeness is gone and Perth’s original community theatre is now well into rehearsal for something totally different: Cinderella in the premiere of an all-new “English panto” style script. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) doesn’t usually do children’s theatre, but there is a special reason for this one and the group will be offering special familyoriented prices and show-times, with an emphasis on matinee performances to allow parents to bring the little ones. What is “panto”? Well, it’s a centuries-old English theatre tradition of

comic fairy-tales, usually performed around the Christmas holiday time. The jokes are broad, the pace is fast and men play women’s parts – while women play men’s. There is plenty of colour and music and fun for the kids, but also a lot of laughs for the adults, too. The costumes are wild and the show all about entertainment. BDP’s cast of nine are “having a ball” (Get it? Cinderella’s Ball? No? Well, please yourselves.) as they throw themselves into the “panto” spirit. It’s big, it’s broad, it’s fast, it’s silly and it’s full of fun for anyone from three to 93. From the mean stepsisters and stepmother (played by Ian Jenner, Brian Atterbury and Joe Laxton) to the Fairy Godmother (BDP newcomer Ashley Pitcher) to Cinderella herself (Miranda Wilson, in a role very different from her part in last summer’s Lysistrata), all of the fairy tale’s familiar characters are there, along with some “panto-only” characters, like Buttons, Cinderella’s best chum (Tyler Street, last seen on BDP’s stage in The Last Deadman in 2015).

So why is BDP doing a kids’ show like Cinderella? Because this premiere is the “front stage” part of the group’s February “backstage” murder-mystery farce, Panto Can Be Murder. Yup, it’s another premiere production and the audience can find out what was happening behind the scenes at December’s Cinderella panto – with the same real-life actors playing the make-believe actors who were playing the parts in Cinderella! It, too, is a fast-paced, uproariously funny show that gives a poke at backstage comedies, English murdermystery thrillers and panto, itself. And there’ll be special ticket prices for those who can produce their tickets to Cinderella. Another Canadian premiere follows in April, Lauren Gundersen’s The Taming. Gundersen is fast gaining a reputation as one of the U.S.’ finest playwrights and The Taming is part of the reason. It pits American left and right against each other, in the form of three women trapped in a hotel room in Georgia. Where it goes from there is a whirlwind of politics (and big laughs)

that is as up-to-date as a Trump tweet. The summer features a full slate of premieres of new adaptations. June will see the first production of a new twoact version of the most successful farce of all time. Charley’s Aunt, by Brandon Thomas, ran more than four years on its London premiere, when 30 performances was considered a smash hit – it outran The Importance of Being Earnest by three-and-a-half years! There is a theory that it has never been off the stage since its first production in 1892 – it has been running somewhere in the world ever since. BDP’s two-act version is tighter, faster and still as full of fun as the long-running original – just an hour shorter! July is a premiere in a more limited sense. F.C. Burnand’s Box And Cox is a one-act play that is another longrunning, hilarious comedy from the 19th century. BarnDoor Productions is teaming it with its “unauthorized” sequel, Box And Cox, Married And Settled, by J.S. Coyne in what is, we believe, the first ever such pairing. We’re not sure why, because it seems a natural, but

the result is a full evening of big laughs that will keep the July heat at bay. All of this is completed with the August premiere of another new adaptation of a hundred-year-old, possibly unproduced play. In 1917, H.F. Rubinstein and Clifford Bax wrote a speculative play about William Shakespeare’s life, based on what was then known about him – which was about ten things. BarnDoor’s new adaptation has expanded that play based on some of the thousands of things that we now know about him and created a new play entitled Willm Shaksper. That’s not a typo – it’s the way Shakespeare’s name is spelled in three of his existing six signatures. It’s a look at five episodes in the Bard’s life and how he may have developed as a man – not as a “bard.” All of that is happening at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Cinderella runs Dec. 1, 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 2, 9 and 10 at 2 p.m. For more information and to order tickets, visit www. barndoorproductions.ca or call 613267-1884.

He and his band The Continentals will be there for a shindig with all proceeds going to The Smiths Falls Food Bank. The Continentals were formed in high school and have been together since 1964. The five original members were Guy Allard, Bill Bowes, Paul Hanrahan, Bob Milliken, and Staples. Bowes and Milliken have passed away and the two new members are Art Lee and Gary Edwards. They’ll be joined by Dave White on drums. Their genre is rock and roll, country, and blues. Over the years they were the house band at Rideau Ferry in the mid-’60s, and they played high school dances, universities, concerts and hotels. The best thing about these guys (besides the music) is all the informal schmoozing that goes on between songs. Lots of good stories, lots of good memories, not only for the band but for the audience, too. Tickets are $10, purchased at the door - first come, first seated. The show starts at 2 p.m. Find the theatre at 53 Victoria Ave., Smiths Falls. Regular hours for the Station Theatre are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to noon. Submitted by The Station Theatre

The most magical, marvelous musical event of the fall hits the Studio Theatre Here come indie women two productions’ The Marvelous Wonderettes! Check out Suzy (Courtney Mason) and Betty Jean (Lindsay Rewi), two of the Wonderettes, all dressed up and ready to perform at their school’s senior prom, a last-minute replacement for The Crooning Crabcakes from the boys’ glee club. The lead Crabcake, Billy Ray, was kicked out of school for smoking out behind the girls’ locker room, so the Wonderettes got the call and are overthe-“Alleghany Moon” excited about getting their big break! If this all sounds a bit old-fashioned, well, it is 1958 after all, which explains why Suzy and BJ are sitting in a 1956 pink and black Ford Crown Victoria waiting for their dates, Ritchie and Johnny, to whisk them away to the big event. Of course, Johnny had to borrow the car from his kindly neighbour, Bob Carruthers, who keeps the vehicle gorgeous and gleaming. The Marvelous Wonderettes, Roger Bean’s original creation that eventually spawned four fantastic followup sequels by the same writer, is a candy-coated vintage ride into a past that many of us remember fondly by virtue of the pre-technology pace of life filled with a kind of innocence and gentleness our current times seems, at times, to lack. Suzy and Betty Jean, along with their Springfield High

The Marvelous Wonderettes opens Nov. 2 at Perth’s Studio Theatre. Time travel back to 1958 for the musical production, presented by indie women two productions, as a fundraiser for the Perth Youth Action Kommittee. School Song Leader teammates (Go Chipmunks!), Cindy Lou and Missy, will make you smile, laugh, cry, sing and dance with the energy and enthusiasm (but maybe not the hips) of your youth. The music, played live by a superaccomplished five-piece band and led by musical director Brad Mills, includes 35 of the greatest hits of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Act I is set in 1958 at the senior prom, while the second act

brings us ten years forward to 1968, when our four heroines are now young women. We get a front row peek at who they’ve become, how their lives have changed and how they’ve coped with the ups and downs. Each girl’s carefully crafted individual personality contributes to her unique storyline, told through both song and dialogue. The end result is a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon or evening of nostalgia, discovery and non-stop

entertainment. indie women two productions is extremely proud to present The Marvelous Wonderettes as a fundraiser for YAK (Youth Action Kommittee), Perth’s exceptional youth centre. You may know it best as the organization that runs The Stewart Park Festival’s annual duck race. But YAK is much more! It offers a free after school program for youth aged 10-18 from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Activities are

planned to suit a wide range of abilities and interests, with an emphasis on personal growth, physical activity, healthy eating, teamwork and fun. The staff teams works – and plays – hard to ensure that programs are inclusive and fun, and that every youth who comes through the door feels safe, welcome and respected. There will be many opportunities to contribute to YAK – all optional – aside from simply attending the show. A wonderful silent auction will take place in the theatre lobby and prom cookies will be available for purchase by donation. If you come to the Saturday or Sunday matinee, you can get your photo taken with cast members in costume next to one of the vintage cars on display in the lot. Textile artist Lin Dickson’s popular Bags and Mitts from Bits will be back for purchase. Great Christmas gifts and such a worthy cause! The Perth premiere of this rocking, fun-filled “juke box musical” opens Thursday, Nov. 2 at Perth’s number one entertainment venue, Studio Theatre, and runs for five performances only: at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2, 3 and 4, with matinees at 2 p.m. Nov. 4 and 5. Tickets are selling like hotcakes so don’t be disappointed! Get yours at www. ticketsplease.ca You can also purchase at the door but sell-outs are very possible, so best to order in advance.

Ridiculous plot, overacting make this film fun to watch MOVIE: Geostorm STARRING: Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Andy Garcia and Ed Harris DIRECTOR: Dean Devlin RATING: PG Geostorm is awful. I loved every minute of it. Climate change has caused storm after storm to ravage the planet, and each one stronger than the last. Facing extinction, the world's governments are forced to work together. An international team led by Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) builds a network of satellites that can control the weather. Jake names it Dutch Boy. While Jake is a brilliant engineer, he's not much of a politician. His outspoken nature forces his own brother Max (Jim Sturgess) to fire him. Max ends up over overseeing Dutch Boy, and Jake doesn't speak to him for three years. Fast forward those three years. A town in Afghanistan, the buildings and the people, are frozen solid. It would seem Dutch Boy is malfunctioning, and the only person who can fix it is Jake. Reluctantly, Jake agrees to go, but it isn't long before he begins to suspect Dutch Boy isn't broken. It's been hacked. On the ground, Max manages to come to the same conclusion. The two brothers have to put their

warmer western U.S. for a time. While in Saranac Lake, Stevenson became the most famous patient of the already renowned Dr. Edward Trudeau. The latter had founded the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium in the town for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Trudeau also established the first American laboratory dedicated to the study of TB in Saranac Lake. It was never determined whether Stevenson himself suffered from TB. But Delahant told us the eminent physician recommended two things to his well-known patient: “Quit smoking (Stevenson chain-smoked roll-your-own cigarettes) and stay in Saranac Lake.” Stevenson did neither. Instead, he sailed the Pacific for three years, finally purchasing a 400-acre estate and settling at Vailima on the island of Upola in Samoa. It was there four years later (on Dec. 3, 1894), at the tender age of 44, that he died suddenly of a suspected cerebral haemorrhage. The Samoans revered Stevenson and the famous writer is buried on Mount Vaea, overlooking the Pacific. Fanny’s ashes (she died in California in 1914) are interred beside him.

My Take

MARK HASKINS

differences aside and figure out what's going on. If they don't, Dutch Boy could cause a geostorm that would sweep across the planet, killing millions. Geostorm is undeniably a bad film. The plot and the acting are over-the-top. It's far-fetched to the point of ridiculousness, and stretches suspension of disbelief well past the breaking point. It races to its climax and its conclusion, making it feel like it's over before it even got started. Yet I loved it. It was so much fun. I would watch this film again in a heartbeat — provided it was on TV, and not really costing me anything. So what makes a bad film a good or, more accurately, a fun film. It's usually a happy accident. In the case of Geostorm it goes over-the-top in almost every category, but still has some great lines and some good action. The story is far-fetched, but still interesting. No one in the cast is going

Despite poor health, everywhere Stevenson went he continued to write. In the little house in Saranac Lake, he composed some of his most popular essays including Pulvis et Umbra and large portions of The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter’s Tale. He also laid plans for his Pacific adventures. Included in the impressive collection of Stevenson memorabilia at the N.Y. state cottage museum (much of it donated by his family) is his smoking jacket complete with a sprig of heather in the breast pocket. The furniture, including the writer’s bed, is original. There is also a lock of his hair, childhood photographs, original letters and literally hundreds of articles of Stevenson lore. After signing the guest book and thanking the knowledgeable curator, I took some photos of three historic plaques affixed near the museum entrance. Kathy whispered: “This is a hidden gem, isn’t it?” I couldn’t possibly agree more! For more information, visit the museum website: www.robertlouisstevensonmemorialcottage.com.

to win any awards, but they don’t phone it in either. It flirts with being campy but doesn't quite cross that line. Strangely all these things come together to create a really fun and entertaining film. It's mindless fun, but fun nonetheless. It's actually an impressive cast. No one is stretching their skills,

but I still like seeing Ed Harris and Andy Garcia. Jim Sturgess is a good counterpoint to Gerard Butler's brilliant but hotheaded genius. Butler plays the hotheaded genius with the best of them. My favourite by far though is Abbie Cornish. As Sarah she's Max's girlfriend, and on the president’s

security detail. Without giving away some of the best parts of the film let's just say that's how you play a secret service agent. Do not pay full price to see Geostorm, but definitely see Geostorm. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Mississippi Mudds’ production of Anne of Green Gables – The Musical opens Nov. 24 The Mudds are at it again. This time it is Anne of Green Gables – The Musical, just in time to close out Canada’s 150th birthday. With this particular show we are introducing two new members to the adult shows – Cameron Hunter, 16, goes to RCI in Renfrew will be playing Anne, her first experience with the Mudds and Callum Leroy, 17 and goes to Almonte and District High School will be playing Gilbert. Callum is a seasoned vet of nine shows with the Mudds, but this is his first adult show. I was lucky enough to do a virtual interview with these two dynamic performers.

What more could a little kid want? Today she continues to inspire me wit her passion for social justice, her speech at the United Nations Assembly and her desire to challenge herself with new and different acting roles. She’s incredibly smart, hard working, gorgeous and talented. She’s got it all. Callum: It’s cliché, but definitely my parents. They work so hard to present me with every opportunity, and I could never thank them enough.

What brought you to the Mudds? Cameron: My dad play Sir Joseph in last year’s production of HMS Pinafore, and the previous year my friend Olivia played Wendy in Peter Pan. They had such awesome experiences that they encouraged me to come and do a show with the Mudds. Callum: I always had an interest in theatre so once we started looking for a program I could be part of the Mudds were highly recommended, so I auditioned for Annie Jr and the rest is history.

Who is your greatest musical inspiration and why? Cameron: Anna Kendrick. She’s had an amazing life in the world of musical theatre. When she was very young she had a role in the Broadway production of High Society and continued to use her amazing voice when she began auditioning for film roles. Her break out part was as an acapella singer in Pitch Perfect, but she has also sung in Into the Woods and The Last 5 Years. Callum: This is a bit of an odd one, but probably Robin Williams.

is so genuine, he is always very obvious about his feelings for Anne (whether or not he wants them to be obvious). What do you dislike about your character? Cameron: Anne has a really huge personality so she does a lot of bursting into rooms and screaming. Normally I’m a pretty shy person so I’m often really uncomfortable doing that stuff. Once you get used to it though it’s a lot of fun! Callum: The most annoying thing about Gilbert is that he kind of manipulates Josie…I mean Josie is not very nice so maybe she has it coming, but still. Will you come back for another show? Cameron: I would love to come back to the Mudds another time. Callum: Unfortunately, this will be my last one as I will be going to university next fall, but I will always come back and watch any Mudds show I can.

“Hi Brian, My 2005 Chevrolet Blazer’s ABS warning light has been coming on, less so with the colder temperatures of fall. Some friends say, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ Others say, ’Just disconnect them’. My thoughts are, the ABS system is very important, especially in winter. Maybe you could write up an article on ABS and the repercussions of them not working properly.” Thanks SV

I agree with your point that an anti-lock brake system (ABS) is an important safety feature to have, especially in winter, when road conditions make brake lockups very common. Your Blazer’s ABS controls are like most others, in that when the warning light is on, the anti-lock brakes won’t function. One of the most common causes for your vehicle’s ABS light is the wheel speed sensor. These magnetic field detectors transmit a constant reading for each wheel’s speed, allowing the control computer to compare them to the overall vehicle speed to determine if a wheel lock-up is occurring when the brake pedal is depressed. The sensors are mounted near or in the

On the first snow day, adjust your commuting schedule if at all possible to avoid the heavy traffic and leave plenty of distance between you and other vehicles. But, seeing that you can’t really control other drivers, leave early or late or stay home altogether. When it comes to snow tire installation, remember that while most good shops will have staff work extra hours to fit everyone in, they have a limited number of vehicle lifts and tire-changing equipment. Make your appointment early to beat the rush. Don’t worry needlessly about what driving on bare dry roads will do to your winter tires; as soon as the outside tempera-

And in all cases when an oil consumption problem arises, clients are told that up to one litre of oil lost in as little as 1,000 kilometres of driving is normal and doesn’t represent a warrantable defect. You’re correct, in my humble opinion, that a three month/5,000-kilometre oil change program is better and most professional techs would concur.

2015

Thanks for the kind words and readership. In any shop I’ve worked in over the years, we’ve always recommended the three month/5,000-kilometre oil change interval with the limited exceptions of autos requiring pure synthetic engine oils, which can stretch the range to 10,000 kilometres on some vehicles. One question I always put to customers who are understandably confused at why a shop would suggest a three month/5,000-kilometre routine while the owner’s manual says something different is: ‘How long will the carmaker be responsible for your engine repair costs and how long will you be footing the bill?’ As we keep our rides over nine years on average, the answer to that question is painfully clear. Car companies are in a race to provide the longest service intervals possible to compete with themselves, leaving their customers on the hook when the warranty expires, and the risks these stretched-out programs bring start to appear.

and snow. In order to eliminate the guesswork and unnecessary repairs, someone with the proper equipment will have to retrieve the diagnostic codes that caused the ABS light to come on in the first place and then follow the prescribed diagnostic tests. It’s certainly hard to think about winter, given the abnormally summerlike weather we’ve experienced over the last several weeks. But, the ice and snow is coming, and with it, two of life’s inevitabilities: a large number of vehicle collisions on the first day of snow and long lineups at tire centres to get your snow tires installed. Both of these are completely avoidable.

“Hi Brian, I have been reading your article for a few years now and really like your professionalism and objectivity. I just bought a new Subaru Outback 3.6 and am puzzled by the new recommended frequency of oil changes. Having been burned (no pun intended) before by dealers and garages, let’s just say I am a leery consumer. I used to religiously change the oil in my 2009 Camry, which I sold at 277,000 kilometres, due to it burning a litre of oil every 1,000 kilometres. My new Subaru takes 5W30 and they are telling me to change the oil every 10,000 kilometres or six months. How can it be that the old recommended standard of 5,000 kilometres or three months be now doubled if the oil is the same? Can I trust this or should I just follow my old regimen?” Best regards, JM

Four local dancers ready to perform in The Nutcracker BY TARA GESNER

Four dancers from Lanark County will be performing in the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker next month. Adeline Barry-Corneau, Charlotte Stewart, Brooke Tosh and Claire Trickey are longtime students of the Rosemary Breman School of Dance in Carleton Place. With a total of seven performances, The Nutcracker will take over the National Arts Centre’s (NAC) Southam Hall stage on Dec. 6, Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. as well as Dec. 9 and Dec. 10 at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s timeless holiday classic is arguably the most famous ballet ever composed, and it is a festive treat for the whole family. For more or less three decades, Rosemary Breman has seen a mass of her dancers perform yearly in The Nutcracker. “It has become a tradition,” she told the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 26. It is also a tradition for BarryCorneau, Stewart, Tosh and Trickey to perform in the ballet at the NAC, either with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet or Alberta Ballet Company. The girls, aged nine to 12, tried out for the show back in September. “Only four auditioned because there was a height restriction this year,” Breman said. It is a huge achievement to be in The Nutcracker, looking good on any dancer’s performance resumé. Confidence is also boosted, especially dancing in front of so many people. Southam Hall holds just over 2,300 people.

The Carleton Place Public Library is permitting cadets to use its facilities for resting and changing. The library’s kitchen and washroom amenities are also available. “A total of 94 lit candles will line the walkway leading up to the cenotaph, representing every local name enshrined on our cenotaph,” Goebel said. He added: “We invite all residents to come out to view this allnight candlelight vigil. Encourage and support our young cadets.” Another added feature to the 2017 Remembrance Day ceremony is the Zion Memorial United Church choir. “The church choir is singing a couple of songs, during the laying of wreaths and after the reading of the honour roll by Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn,” Goebel stated. “The Carleton Place and District Community Band is accompanying the choir, and the band will also lead us in the singing of the national anthem and royal anthem.”

Carleton Place integrity commissioner dismisses latest complaint against mayor BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

A fresh complaint filed with Carleton Place’s integrity commissioner Robert Swayze against mayor Louis Antonakos has been dismissed. In the grievance, filed on Oct. 24 and obtained by the Canadian Gazette, area property manager Wally Thorbjornsson alleged Antonakos violated the council code of conduct by “damaging my business and my reputation.” Thorbjornsson claimed his client, Balu Kuriya of Kids World, was at the

town hall working on his building permits when “Mr. Antonakos approached him to give his personal opinion on my work ethic and my business.” Kids World, situated at Townline Road East and Industrial Avenue (former Brick building), is scheduled to open its doors in February 2018 “Mr. Antonakos went so far as to advise my client to cease all work with me,” Thorbjornsson claimed. “In a way he (Antonakos) did,” Kuriya said when contacted by this newspaper. Thorbjornsson further

Barry-Corneau, 11, of Beckwith graces the Southam Hall stage as a polar bear in December. It will be her third time in The Nutcracker. “I was happy when I heard the news I made it,” she said. “It is always a great feeling to be out on stage.” The youngster added: “It is nice I performed as a polar bear my first year … I know the routine. I was a party girl my second time.” Barry-Corneau, who attends Grade 7 at École secondaire publique De La Salle in Ottawa, has been with Breman’s studio for seven years. Her favourite dance style is highland. She plans on dancing professionally as a career. The four dancers have their first practice for The Nutcracker in Ottawa this month. For nearly 50 years, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet has provided excellence in dance education — inspir-

ing young artists and supporting them in the pursuit of their goals. The school is located in downtown Winnipeg, and it is home to 1,500 dancers who make up the professional and recreational divisions of the school. Tickets to The Nutcracker are now available by way of the NAC box office at 613-947-7000 (ext. 620) or online at www.ticketmaster. ca. The NAC is located at 1 Elgin St. in Ottawa. Breman enjoyed a very successful competitive career in highland dance, having placed in the British, North American and World Championships. Subsequently, she opened the Rosemary Breman School of Dance — in operation for 35 years.

“to be unrelated to town business.” “Your complaint is accordingly dismissed,” Swayze wrote. Thorbjornsson has indicated he is resubmitting his complaint

to the clerk’s office “and ask the council to deal with it.” Antonakos would not comment to this newspaper regarding Thorbjornsson’s complaint to the integrity commissioner.

If you’re suffering from nerve problems in the arms and legs, you must read about a clinical study that showed…

How 85% Of Patients Eliminated Numbness, Tingling, or Sharp Pains

Numbness, tingling, and pain are extremely annoying problems. It may come and go...interrupts your sleep...and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times. Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.

More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs. This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions. Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy. Read the full facts on this page. More Pills Are Not The Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and antidepressants -- all of which have serious side effects. The Likely Cause Of Your Problem My name is Dr. Sean Murphy, chiropractor, I’ve been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 17 years. Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on and irritating the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the irritation on the nerves. By using gentle techniques, we are able to release the irritation that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away. For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions. Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nervesymptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems. Could This Be Your Solution? It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution. For a limited time, we have reduced our fee to $35 as a gift of Compassion. What services does this special offer include? You will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen and review with you

Don’t let numbness, tingling and pain hold you back from enjoying life. the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination. • A full set of specialized x-rays (if needed) to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms. • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. Until November 15, 2017 you can receive everything listed here for only $35. The normal price for this type of evaluation including x-rays is over $220. We are offering you this reduced fee until November 15, as a gift of compassion. Call 613-253-8813 now. We can schedule your consultation and exam as soon as it is convenient for you.

Bike course being offered in Almonte this Saturday, Nov. 4 Cycling Canada’s CANBIKE program is a series of progressive courses taught on all aspects of cycling – to ride safely, effectively, and enjoyably on the road. Some courses are for adults and some for children and youth. Program development is co-ordinated through Cycling Canada, with help from national examiners/ instructors. Course delivery and administration takes place through CAN-BIKE delivery agents, such as community associations, municipal departments, service groups and the efforts of independent instructors. The Mississippi Mills Active Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC) has organized the delivery of a CANBIKE level 2 course in Almonte this Saturday, Nov. 4 as part of the Ontario 150 Celebrate by Bike project. Under this program, Ontario’s Share the Road pays for the instructor’s fee and Mississippi Mills residents learn new skills. Details are as follows: The course is for adults (16 years and over) who can bike

but want to improve their skills riding on the road/in traffic. This course will be taught in Almonte by certified CanBIKE instructor, Graydon Patterson. It begins at 9 a.m. and the full course will run approximately four hours at the Mills Community Support’s back parking lot (67 Industrial Drive) in Almonte. The cost is free. One of ATAC’s main goals is to build education around road safety for people who drive, bike, walk and run. To this end, the committee will be bringing as many CANBIKE courses to town as possible until a few of our residents are certified to a level 4 CAN-BIKE. Having level 4 CAN-BIKE instructors in our own town will be a boon for all future local education programs. Watch for a bike rodeo/ CAN-BIKE level 2 program for school age children in the spring of 2018! Cyclists who graduate from the level 4 course can contribute greatly to Canada’s growing ranks of cycling instructors. Most CAN-BIKE

instructors’ interest in cycling education started when they took their first CAN-BIKE course. Taking the level 2 course this Saturday is the first step to being more qualified and more confident. The level 2 course is a ‘hands-on’ class, meaning students will need: a bike, helmet, the basics of how to ride a bike, identification and a water bottle (suggested). The focus is to take students from a ‘learned to ride’ state to being very comfortable riding their bicycle. Where possible, rides will be on pathways, or very quiet residential roads. The general format is going over helmet and bike fit/safety, then parking lot skills, theory on bicycle-traffic interaction, then a ride. Those who are free on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. and want to be a part of this program, please contact Robbie Brady at 613-324-6486 or email robebrady@gmail.com (or alternatively Jill McCubbin at jmccubbin@mississippimills.ca). The program is only open to six individuals this time around, so don’t delay.

Mississippi Valley Textile Museum highlights a successful year BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Enhanced exhibits, upgrades to its galleries and a solid financial situation has the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM) with a positive outlook towards 2018. Brian Stephenson, president of the MVTM’s board of directors, provided Mississippi Mills council with an update on the museum’s activities Oct. 24. “We’ve had higher admissions in 2017, more exhibits and higher gift shop sales,” Stephenson noted. “But of course, there are higher costs to go along with that.” Despite those higher costs, he said the museum is currently in a good financial position. The MVTM started off celebrating its 30th anniversary with an Out of the Box artists Colour and Unboxed exhibit from Dec. 20 to Feb. 25. “We’ve had events pretty much continuously throughout the year. It’s been a banner year for the museum with Canada 150,” he said. “Visitor count has gone up incredibly this year and that’s due to the quality of exhibits, which is a testament to our curator (Michael RikleyLancaster) and the contacts he’s been able to pull from in the textile industry,” Stephenson added. The annual Soup for Thought, which provides gourmet soups from local restaurants served up in a stoneware bowl, courtesy of the Almonte Potter’s Guild, to take home, was another success. Stephenson noted nine restaurants participated this year. This was followed up by a Blanket Statement: No Shame in Patches exhibit, featuring Gloria Duncan of B.C., from March 14 to May 20. From June 6 to Sept. 16, the MVTM offered A Life Inspired, a retrospective on artist William Hodge of Hamilton. “It was quite a beautiful display,” Stephenson said. During that time, Weavers Unlimited and the Canada 150 Blanket Project were also on display at the museum. The latter, co-ordinated by Vanessa Copeland, involved high school students in Ottawa who sewed patches reflecting Canada 150. Fibrefest, the biggest annual fundraiser for the MVTM, continues to grow in popularity as well. It was held at the Almonte Community Centre Sept. 9 and 10. A total of 2,041 visitors came through the door in 2017, versus 1,797 in 2016.

Program

Financial overview After ending 2016 with a net income of $9,067, Stephenson said in the third quarter of 2017, the MVTM is on track to continued stability. Aside from a grant ($64,666), Fibrefest brought in the biggest chunk of funds, other contributions included membership ($7,330), admissions ($9,189), donations ($19,314.31), gift shop sales ($19,078), rentals ($6,425) and fundraising ($12,424.08). “Our expenses are higher this year because we have updated to the proper artists’ fees for textile exhibits,” he stated, adding that additional grants of $16,000 and $15,000 through the student summer employment program at Algonquin College. “This will show a positive net revenue at year end,” Stephenson continued. The MVTM continues to pay back a $30,000 loan received from the municipality, which has a remaining balance of $20,000.

Ghosts are very real – I know It wouldn’t be Halloween without a little creepy ghost talk. Whether you believe in them or not, it doesn’t matter to me. Because I’ve seen them. Well, at least what I believe to be experiences that can’t be explained away. My first paranormal encounter was when I was about nine years old. My grandmother on my mother’s side, who I called grammy, had died and we went to her wake. It was an open casket situation, and it was the first time I’d ever seen a dead body up close and personal. It was weird and I remember being particularly freaked out by the paper-like texture my grammy’s skin had to it. I knew it was my grammy’s body, but I knew she wasn’t there. That night, I tried to sleep on my own – completely freaked out by the experience I’d had seeing my grandmother’s body at the funeral home. It was quiet. Then, out of the corner of my eye the room started to get bright. I quickly looked to my door frame – the direction the light was coming from – and saw the shape of a person, almost like a halo tracing the entire body. For some reason, instinctually, I knew it was my grandmother. I was spooked and covered my head with the blankets. Then, I felt the bed depress in the crook of my legs; like someone was sitting on the bed. What felt like a hand touched my leg, almost patting me to tell me it was all right. In an instant, it was gone. I’ll never forget that experience. I can’t explain it. Maybe it was all a dream, but I’m sure it wasn’t. This wasn’t the only weird – and unexplained – experience I’ve had. This next one comes from my mom memory. A couple years after my grammy died, my great grandmother – who was the mother of my grammy – was on her deathbed. On occasion, I would go with my mom to visit her as she lay between worlds. You could tell at that point she wasn’t quite living but she wasn’t quite dead. One day I walked into the room, but she couldn’t look at me. “Why?” I asked my mom who recalled the story. “Because you were too bright,” she

EVELYN HARFORD View From Here said. According to my mom, my greatgrandmother could see a white light coming from me and it was so bright she couldn’t gaze my way. I also recall her telling me a little girl was following me. I’m not sure what that meant. Paranormal experiences seem to happen when you least expect them. It’s not usually when you’re particularly scared or rattled. They, at least for me, happen out of the blue, without any warning. One night when I was in high school I was up late studying at my grampy’s house in the dead of winter. My grampy lived closer to my school, which was two towns over from where I lived. It was a stormy winter night, so I decided to forgo the trip. While I was studying a giant gust of wind swept through the office area that I was using, my papers rustled to the ground. No windows were open. Then, I heard talking. No one was up. I could hear the voices of my greatgrandmother and great-grandfather speaking to each other. I knew immediately it was them. They both had lived in the house before they died. Their conversation went on for what seemed like four or five minutes. I sat there stunned. Too frightened to move. It finally stopped and I ran around to try and see if any of the windows were opened. They weren’t. The next experience I had was when my family and I moved into a new house. I slept in our basement, which was finished. I told my mom that it seemed like there as a man down there. I never saw anything, but strangely could visualize the person in my head. I told my mom about it, but we never thought anything more until years later when she went to see a psychic who described an older man who was hanging around in our laundry room area, in the basement where I slept as a teenager.

Murphy Chiropractic Health Centre kicks off Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

With cold weather on its way to the area, Murphy Chiropractic Health Centre in Carleton Place is making sure its most vulnerable neighbours stay warm this winter. The 14th annual Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive kicked off on Wednesday, Oct. 18, with donations accepted at the health centre until the end of November. In attendance were Dr. Sean Murphy, Christine Murphy, Meghan LeBlanc, Wayne Drummond and Ray MacLaren. Christine told the Canadian Gazette all items collected

would be dispersed by way of the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund. Any leftover hats, mitts and scarves will be taken to the Lanark County Food Bank — The Hunger Stop for distribution. Wayne explained all baskets include the fixings needed to make a traditional breakfast and dinner on Dec. 25, including a turkey. “We also accept money for the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund,” Christine said. In 2016, Murphy Chiropractic Health Centre collected 480 items to include in the baskets. A sum of $120 in cash was also received. At the time, Christine not-

ed, “the record haul” included 156 hats, 181 pairs of mitts, 91 scarves and 52 pairs of socks. Wayne and his wife, Lorna Drummond, organize the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund, in addition to the associated Angel Tree campaign. MacLaren, the owner of the local Giant Tiger, is a big supporter of the Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive. Each year, his store contributes a variety of items. Donations for the 2017 drive can be dropped off at Murphy Chiropractic Health Centre, located at 3 Costello Dr., during business hours. Giving back is extremely important to Christine and

Sean. On top of the Hats, Mitts and Scarves Drive, the health centre distributes bundles of bread to the com-

munity during its annual Give Thanks Bread Drive. The Murphy family is also involved with Chiropractors with Com-

passion, which is a movement dedicated to transforming the lives of children around the world.

Mississippi Golf Club is holding a public information meeting to present its annual report as required by Ontario Regulation 63/09. The annual report summarizes the use of Class 9 pesticides at the golf club in 2016. The meeting will take place in the clubhouse at 8 a.m. on Monday 27th November 2017.

Earle acclaimed as People First president BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

Carleton Place resident Kory Earle has been acclaimed to the position of People First of Canada. “We have made history!” Earle said after learning the news. “I am the first president to be acclaimed.” People First of Canada is the national voice for people who have been labeled with an intellectual disability. It is about rights ... freedom, choice and equality for all. “This is a proud day in our movement, and I am so thrilled I will get another chance to lead this organization ... continuing to work on the progress

we started together,” he added. At present, Earle is on his way to Winnipeg (Manitoba) to attend People First of Canada’s election on Saturday, Nov. 4. A number of positions will be decided: first vice president, second vice president, treasurer, etc. On Oct. 12, Earle launched his campaign for re-election, unveiling a comprehensive platform and using the slogan “He is not done, he has only begun.” At the time, he did not know he would not be opposed. Earle was first elected as president of the organization for a three-year term in 2014. He also served one term as vice president. Moreover, he served two terms as president of People First Ontario. On the local front, Earle is the founder and one-time president of People First of Lanark County.

“I cannot thank everyone enough for the confidence and support they have continued to show me,” Earle told the Canadian Gazette. As a result of being acclaimed, “I get three more years to mentor our entire executive, helping them to take on leading roles, helping them to put People First of Canada at the top,” he stated. Too, it shows People First members have confidence in Earle’s leadership. “I will continue to ask tough questions, and I will not be afraid to stand up on issues ... at the end of the day I am accountable to the members,” he stressed. This will be Earle’s last term with People First as a whole. “Together we have made great progress, so let us continue to change the world,” he said.

Veterans Memorial Banner Project launched in Carleton Place BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

A new initiative of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place — the Veterans Memorial Banner Project — memorializes the veterans who have served the country. “It is an exciting time for our legion and our veterans this Remembrance Day,” Linda Pond said. Linda, a member of branch 192, is overseeing the Veterans Memorial Banner Project. She is married to Garry Pond, a fellow member of branch 192 as well as the first vice president of Ontario Provincial Command. “I had a conversation with a vice president of Ontario Provincial Command around the end of August in Newmarket,” Linda said. “He told me about this project they were doing in his hometown of Mount Forest ... hanging banners memorializing our veterans who have served over the years in Canada.” Linda thought it would be great to bring the initiative to Carleton Place. As a result, “I ran with it.” The photo, name and military affiliation of the veteran appear on the banner, in addition to the name of the sponsor. The banners, which are made from double-sided heavy vinyl, measure 24 inches by 40 inches (two by 3.3 feet). They will be flown from

The cost of each banner is $200, which includes tax. Anyone can purchase a banner. You do not need to be a member of the legion. “For the most part, without conscious thought, the general public sees

the military as a tool to be used when there are environmental disasters, humanitarian projects, peacekeeping duties or protection against aggression,” Linda said. “However, once these events have concluded, people seem to

go back to their everyday lives, until something else occurs and the cycle repeats itself.” The Veterans Memorial Banner Project can change this, and by people working together, “we can ensure our veterans are remembered for their duty and sacrifice, and we can put a face to a name,” she added. A company in the western part of Ontario — OnePromo.ca — established the Veterans Memorial Banner Project. “A veteran who wanted to give back to other veterans founded the company, and he specifically wanted to give back to legions,” Linda said. “He approached a few legions and they thought it was a great idea.” 2017 banners Fifteen banners were created this year to memorialize veterans. They were unveiled by Linda and branch 192 president Peter Schaffer on Oct. 25, during the branch’s annual general meeting. “This is year one,” Linda said. “For those who did not get a chance to get their veteran signed up, it is OK.” “This is going to be an expanding project,” she continued. “Next year we will add to those 15.” Linda added: “These banners will be flying every year until they can no See BANNERS page A/CP17

Carleton Place mourns the passing of musician Ralph Langtry BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

Carleton Place’s Ralph Langtry is being remembered as a one of a kind musician. Langtry, retired organist and music director for 56 years at St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place, died unexpectedly at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute on Oct. 16. He was 79 years old. In 1961, Ralph Langtry sat down at St. James Anglican Church’s organ and played. However, the piano was the focus of his formal musical training. Langtry did not assemble an organ-repertoire until after he earned an Associate of the Royal Conservatory diploma in 1956. The ARCT diploma is the highest academic credential awarded by the Royal Conservatory in Toronto. This year on Sept. 30, the congregation at St. James Anglican Church celebrated Langtry’s retirement with a reception inside the parish hall. At the time, warden Carol Dryburgh told the Canadian Gazette, “He is leaving some big shoes to fill.” Langtry, born at the Almonte General Hospital, lived on William Street in Carleton Place until the age of seven — across the street from his most recent abode. Between 1943 and 1945, Langtry’s father built the Maple Leaf Dairy, situated at the corner of William

and Bridge streets. Construction was slow because it was hard to get supplies during the Second World War. Following VE-Day, Langtry’s family moved into the upstairs apartment. Langtry was a choirboy at St. James Anglican Church. In the late 1950s, residing in Almonte and studying at Queen’s University (honours history), Langtry was an observer, rather than a participant on the musical scene. In 2013, he told this newspaper: “It was period of information intermission.” For 33 years Langtry worked as an educator, employed at South Carleton High School in Richmond. There he taught history to every grade (9 through 13). In recent years, he wrote about the history of St. James Anglican Church. In his spare time, Langtry liked cooking for his friends, reading, doing needlepoint and spending time each day playing his piano (Baldwin) and organ (electric) at home. Bringing much joy to his life over the years were his late English cocker spaniels: Robyn and Angel. Four years ago, Langtry told the Canadian Gazette he was indebted to the congregation of the parish — and to the clergy who had been so vital in delivering the verbal messages and providing the basic and essential leadership to the parish. “My relationship to our rectors has

been closely personal, usually instructive and motivating, challenging and varied, (and) often imaginative,” he said. “By them, the parish has been well served. Only rarely has routine threatened to become boredom.” Fond memories According to Langtry’s nephew, Dr. Sean Murphy, “he spent his life striving for perfection,” and “he stood up for what he believed in.” “His friends were very important to him,” Murphy continued. “He would talk about them by name.” Rev. Brian Kauk, St. James Anglican Church, called serving with Langtry “one of the greatest honours of my life.” “Ralph will always be, for me, an example of a life offered in service to others, using the gifts God gave you and the time you have available to make this world a better — and especially a more beautiful — place,” he continued. “We would be lost without him except for the fact that he taught us all, by word and example, to do the same and pass on this awesome responsibility to the next generation,” Kauk added.

many friends.” “He touched so many lives,” she added. “How fortunate we are to have known him.” Retired Rev. Cannon David Andrew, St. James Anglican Church, remembered Langtry as a “true gentleman and a gentle man.” “He was extremely honest and full of integrity,” Andrew continued. “Of course, a wonderfully talented pianist and organist ... I have lost a very good friend.” Langtry was preceded in death by his parents Naomi and Gordon Langtry, brother Ross Langtry and brother-in-law Garry Murphy. Sisters Katherine Murphy and Eleanor Schmidt survive him, and numerous nieces, nephews and friends will remember him. A funeral service was held at St. James Anglican Church Thursday, on Oct. 19. Cremation followed. Interment took place on Friday, Oct. 20 at St. James Anglican Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made in Langtry’s name to St. James Anglican Church or the Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor Foundation.

“Carleton Place has lost yet another great historian in the passing of Ralph Langtry,” deputy mayor Jerry Flynn said. “Ralph was another person I was blessed to know and call a friend and supporter.” During an interview with Langtry in 2013, Flynn recalled a man, “who I am sure was a mystery to many,” reveal much about himself. “His passion for all aspects of his life was very evident,” he added. “His quest for perfection in whatever he did was obvious, given he sometimes spent a good part of two days preparing for his Sunday morning organ duties.” “Ralph’s knowledge of Carleton Place and its history was a big part of the interview,” the deputy mayor stated, and “I encourage anyone to visit the local library and borrow his video, getting an in-depth look at a man who meant so much to so many.” There is a bonus piano performance at the end that serves to emphasize Langtry’s talent at the keyboard. Friend Ronette Vines noted Langtry was “a very kind gentleman,” and he was “generous and respected by so

Major study finds untreated hearing loss linked to dementia Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland

Left: Erica Gilmour, a bar smith at Hummingbird Chocolate, shows off one of the Halloween-themed chocolate barks created at the make-your-own chocolate bark workshop. Buying local saves on transportation. Eating local improves food quality. Buying locally produced food supports local agriculture.

Although the reason for the link is as yet unclear, a recent Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging study shows that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those with normal hearing. Researchers say these findings “could lead to new ways to combat dementia, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and carries heavy societal burdens.”

Linda Pond, a member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place, is overseeing a new initiative, the Veterans Memorial Banner Project. On Oct. 25, during the branch’s annual general meeting, she spoke about the project. Second World War — Army — Liberation of Holland, Chris and Janet Hunt; John Wayne Nesbitt, Peacetime — Army, Steve, Sue and family; Howard and May Rattray, Second World War — RCAF/WAAF, the Rattray family; Nicholas Schaffer, Second World War — Army, the Schaffer family; and Daniel Beatie Truscott, Second World War — RCAF, the Truscott family. On Wednesday night, Linda also took time to remember

those people who added money to the Veterans Memorial Banner Project. “The banner hangers ended up being as much money as the banner themselves,” she explained. “Therefore, we went to the town and found some very generous people who were able to come up with some money, covering the cost of the banner hangers.” Thorbjornsson Group Ltd. (Wally Thorbjornsson and Daja Kjartansdottir) financed 10 banner hangers, with Downtown Carleton Place, Valley Granite & Tile (Brad and Lisa Occomore), Hometown Hearts, the Beckwith Butcher (Rob and Kathleen Carpenter) and Party Plus 613 (Patrick and Shannon O’Neill) also stepping up. Linda also noted the help of Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn. “I would just like to thank Linda for bringing this to the branch, to everyone’s attention,” legion chaplain and second vice president David Andrew said. “Thank you very much for all your work.” Orders are now being accepted for Remembrance Day 2018. To acquire more information, contact Linda at 613-2530240 or linda.pond@gmail. com.

Carleton Place named Financial Information Return award winner for 2016 BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

It is a three-peat for Carleton Place treasurer Phil Hogan. In a letter from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, addressed to Hogan and Mayor Louis Antonakos, Carleton Place has been named one of the 15 winners of the Financial Information Return (FIR) award for 2016. Antonakos made the announcement during the regular meeting of council on Oct. 24. The FIR is the main data collection tool used by the ministry to collect financial and statistical information on municipalities. “Not once, not twice, but three times ... it is pretty rare,” Antonakos said.

Carleton Place has been named one of the 15 winners of the Financial Information Return (FIR) award for 2016. On Oct. 24, during the regular council meeting, mayor Louis Antonakos presented treasurer Phil Hogan with a letter of congratulations from Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Bill Mauro.

ing timely, reliable and accurate financial information was submitted for the 2016 FIR. “When you think of it ... there are 444 municipalities in Ontario,” Antonakos stated. “Congratulations to Phil and the entire organization ... even our accounting firm is involved in this to some extent.” The town’s accountant is Howard Allan of Allan Chartered Accountant Professional Corporation. Hogan is in his final year of employment with the municipality. “I am into my 28th year,” he told the Canadian Gazette. “I started in 1990.” Not only does the FIR influence provincial policy decisions, it assists the ministry in providing the most current information to the growing number of users of its municipal database. “Thank you for your leadership,” noted Minister of Municipal Affairs

and Housing Bill Mauro in the letter. “Whether it is our treasurer, clerk (Duncan Rogers) or chief administrative officer (Paul Knowles), it (recognition) runs across the organization,” Antonakos said. Other winners of the FIR award for 2016 are as follows: Municipality of Central Manitoulin; Municipality of Mississippi Mills; Town of Perth; Township of Admaston/Bromley; Township of Central Frontenac; Township of Ear Falls; Township of Horton; Township of Lake of Bays; Township of Machin; Township of Madawaska Valley; Township of Nipissing; Township of Petrolia; Township of Whitewater Region; and Township of Wilmot. The ministry will feature the 15 winners on its website. On Tuesday night, Antonakos presented Hogan with the letter and offered the town’s congratulations.

It’s better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent

National

Senior

Safety an act to condemn! Fraud against senior citizens:

Week

November 6 to 12, 2017

National Senior Safety Week takes place between November 6 and 12, 2017. To mark the occasion, the Canada Safety Council aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of fraud and other forms of financial abuse against seniors.

All too often, elderly people are the victims of illicit activity. Many possess a life’s worth of savings and other financial benefits, which make them prime targets for fraud. Additionally, con artists take advantage of seniors’ trusting character and life situation (many of them live alone) to scam them. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS If you’re a senior citizen, make vigilance your priority! In order to prevent financial

exploitation, you must tread lightly whenever faced with an unusual situation. For example, if a vendor seems too insistent and asks for personal information, don’t hesitate to say that you’re not interested in what they have to offer. Most importantly, never make spur-ofthe-moment decisions, and always ask a third party for their opinion when in doubt. Finally, if you or someone you know believes to be the victim of fraud or any other form of financial abuse, communicate with the authorities right away! For more information on National Senior Safety Week, visit www.canadasafetycouncil.org.

Help for Today. Hope for Tomorrow...

®

BEWARE! Identity theft, fraudulent charities and organizations, pyramid schemes, fake lotteries - con artists use different methods to trick elderly people. Always be wary of unsolicited requests received over the phone, online or in person (e.g. door-todoor selling).

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!

IN MEMORIAM MUNRO, Florence In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, who passed away October 31, 2007. We are sad within our memory; Lonely are our hearts today; For the one we loved so dearly; Has forever been called away. We think of you in silence; No eye may see us weep; But many silent tears are shed; When others are asleep. As we look upon your picture; Sweet memories we recall; Of a face so full of sunshine; A smile for one and all. Though your smile has gone forever; And your hand we cannot tough; We shall never lose sweet memories; Of the one we loved so much. Always remembered and forever loved, The Family

You fell asleep without saying goodbye, But our memories of you will never die. We miss you more than anyone knows, As each day passes our emptiness grows. The tears we shed will wipe away, But the ache in our hearts will always stay. No one knows the grief we bear, When our family meets and you’re not there. You left us suddenly, your thoughts unknown, But left us memories we’re proud to own. Please God, take a message, To our loved one in Heaven above, Tell her how much we miss her, And give her all our love. Missing you always Mom, Marilyn, Terry, Sherry, Brian, Marion and Families

Canadians extend winning streak to 11 games with win over Nepean The Carleton Place Canadians extended their winning streak to 11 games on Sunday thanks to a 4-1 win over the Nepean Raiders to kick off a three-game road trip for Carleton Place. The scoring chances were equal in the game as both teams had 34 shots, but, helped by the goaltending of Jeremie Forget, the Canadians took advantage of their opportunities. Carleton Place got the scoring started early as Haydn Hopkins scored the game’s first goal just 0:30 into the game. His quick shot from a short angle beat Liam Souliere just under the cross bar to give Carleton Place

the lead. That goal was the only one scored in the opening frame before Carleton Place stretched its lead with a pair of goals in the first half of the second period. Joey Warywoda made it a 2-0 game by getting his stick on the Brett Thorne shot to tip the puck past Souliere. Geoff Kitt and Connor Hill kept their personal hot streaks going, putting their point streaks at 10 and seven games respectively, as Kitt scored 9:11 into the second period. Hill moved the puck to a speeding Kitt coming down the left-wing side and his attempted pass across the crease deflected off

the skate of a Raiders defender and got past Souliere for a power play goal for the Canadians captain. Jordan Renaud made the game tight heading into the third period, converting on a Raiders 5-on-3 power play chance. Ryan Horvath found Renaud on the other side of the crease and Renaud chipped the pass over Forget for the goal. Jaden Luik scored early into the third period, restoring the Carleton Place three-goal lead. Luik sent the puck towards the net looking for a tip, and he found it as the puck deflected off Noah Rowe’s skate and into the net. The next game for the Canadians will be one the league has its eyes on as the top two teams will did battle with Carleton Place at the Jim Durrell Complex to face the Ottawa Jr Senators on Wednesday night (Nov. 1).

Working Together to Prevent Falls BEING SAFE AT HOME • Take your time, don't rush when walking or getting up • Keep stairs and walkways free of clutter, ice or snow • Use hand rails and grab bars to keep steady • Balance your body through good nutrition, hydration, and gentle stretching exercises • Get your sight checked regularly • Know what you are taking: talk to your pharmacist or doctor as some medications may make you prone to dizziness and falling • Choose well-fitting, sturdy shoes • Light up your hallways, stairs, and walkways! • Check your home for slipping and tripping hazards • Ask for help if you are worried about falling

www.almontegeneral.com ●

It takes a community to prevent a fall. We all have a role to play. That’s the main message during Fall Prevention Month. Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults in Canada. Each year, up to one-third of seniors experience a fall. Falls can result in chronic pain, reduced mobility, loss of independence and even death. The good news is that falls can be prevented — both at home and while in the hospital. The care teams at Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital are working with patients, residents and families to keep everyone safe. Here are some tips for taking care of yourself, both at home and while in the hospital. For details on local falls prevention classes, please visit http://bit.ly/fallspreventionclasses.
