Carleton Place’s grand old town hall turns 120 BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Despite marking a milestone 120th birthday this year, the Carleton Place Town Hall is looking pretty good for its age. The Town of Carleton Place’s municipal heritage committee, in conjunction with council and the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum, held a special 120th anniversary reception to celebrate the occasion on Nov. 2. Historical displays were featured, as well as musical entertainment by Downtown Carleton Place BIA chair Mark Lovell and dancers from the Rosemary Breman School of Dancing. “Carleton Place Town Hall is an important landmark here in Carleton Place for its history, its architecture,” noted Coun. Sean Redmond, who

served as the evening’s MC. “When you come to Carleton Place, one of the first things you see is a castle here…and really that’s what it is. It’s a magnificent structure.” Arguably the jewel of Carleton Place, the town hall was officially opened back on Oct. 25, 1897 and an inaugural ball, held Nov. 24, 1897, was attended by more than 200 of the who’s who in town at the time. Performances by the Citizens Band and Wallwork Orchestra were enjoyed by guests and supper was served in council chambers (known as the Red Chamber for the colour of stain on the pine woodwork), provided by the Queen’s Hotel. “It is a paradise of architectural creation,” stated an Oct. 26, 1897 report in the Carleton Place Herald.

Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour puts magic back into holiday season BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com For several years, Carleton Place residents Christine and Jim Glutek have been lovingly restoring their brown brick Victorian home. On Dec. 2-3, all of their efforts will be revealed during the sixth annual Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour. The home, which the Gluteks have owned for five years, is tucked away in the heart of town and inside, it’s a vintage and shabby chic paradise. Warm white paint coats the walls, with silver, natural and blush accents, while Christine’s talents with her furniture refurbishing business can be found on tables, chairs and hutches. Chandeliers, from which shiny glass ornaments dangle, cast an elegant light in nearly every room of the home, which also includes a newly renovated kitchen with the original servants’ staircase. Foregoing the traditional wallpaper, Christine and Jim opted to adorn the walls with pages of old books to add another eye-pleasing element. Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks, who has a deep love for the holiday season, has been hoping to secure the Glutek home for the tour for quite some time. “I’ve wanted her to do the tour for a few years,” Tunks noted. “Christine volunteered at my house a few years ago and once I walked into her house, I knew she had to be on it.” And there was no hesitation from Christine, who noted the fall and winter seasons are her favourites. Glittered garlands festooned with antique baubles and ornaments adorn window frames and furniture pieces in the home. “Around the holidays, there’s always such a magical feeling you get when all of the lights and everything is up,” she explained. “It makes me feel like a kid again.” Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks likens Christine’s style to that of shabby chic designer Rachel Ashwell. “I think she gives Rachel Ashwell a run for her money. I really do,” she said. “She breathes new life into things.” “She’s my inspiration,” Christine said of Ashwell. “I follow a lot of decorating blogs as well. This is my passion.” “It’s an elegant shabby chic and we want to give people an opportunity to see a nice, cozy house,” she added. “That’s why I like going on the tour – to get ideas and see what other people are doing.”
Ashley Kulp/Metroland
Jim and Christine Glutek relax in the sitting room of their Victorian home at 73 Beckwith St. in Carleton Place. Having the vision to see the potential in an imperfect piece of furniture or a forgotten item is one of Christine’s talents. That passion led her to establish Shabby Chick, her painting and refinishing business. She often scours antique sales and auctions to scoop up unique and vintage pieces. “That creativity is amazing; to look at something and see the potential,” remarked Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Robyn Arseneau. The house tour has served as a fundraiser for the CPDMH Foundation over the past five years, bringing in $33,968.95, which supports purchasing patient care equipment needed at the hospital. The tour has quickly become the hospital foundation’s signature Christmas event. “This tour has been growing year after year, with the first year’s event netting $3,242.28, growing to $10,968.83 last year,” she stated. “We’re confident that this year will be our biggest year yet!” Arseneau said funds raised from this year’s tour will go towards the hospital’s most pressing need – a $305,000 cardiac monitor. Eight homes (with two bonus locations) of different styles and décor are on offer this year, with a few changes.

Build a Mountain of Food campaign off and running for 2017 season
SMITHS FALLS NISSAN
BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweri@metroland.com
This year’s 11th annual Build a Mountain of Food campaign was off and running over the weekend in Almonte and Carleton Place with 15,592 pounds of food collected and $2,400 in cash donations. “It was a great start to the campaign,” said Hugh Colton, organizer of this Hinton Auto Group food drive. The campaign serves food banks in 11 communities over a period of six Saturdays leading up to Christmas, the busiest time of the year for food banks. Set up at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer (YIG) in Almonte, and at Mitchell’s YIG, FreshCo, and Giant Tiger in Carleton Place, the campaign benefits the Lanark County Food Bank’s Hunger Stop. The best part about this drive, Colton said, is that every item, can, bottle, or bag of food stays in the community where it’s collected, as does every dollar raised. “We’re going to be taking this Saturday (Nov. 11) off to respect Remembrance Day,” Colton said. “And then we’ll pick up the following Saturday, Nov. 18, in Lanark and in Perth.” From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Colton will be at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s YIG, Foodsmiths, and Giant Tiger, where donations will support the Perth Good Food Bank, located at The Table Community Food Centre. The campaign will also run in Lanark on Nov.

A new event for Build a Mountain was the Jail and Bail held at Carleton Place’s Walmart and at YIG where cash and food donations totalled nearly 700 pounds and $500 for the cause. “I have a new partner,” Colton said. “Elmo may be joining me for the rest of the campaign, so that will be fun for the kids to see.” Colton thanked the Jessome family from Carleton Place on their initiative to bring Elmo out for the cause. Overall, Colton said he’s looking forward to the rest of the campaign as the donations have started to flood in. He’s also putting finishing touches on some local Santa Claus parades and hopes to take part in two on Dec. 2 – in Perth for 5 p.m. and in Athens for 7 p.m. See BAM PAGE 6

CGDB seeks puppy local puppy raisers Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking volunteer puppy raisers in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. This is a long-term volunteer commitment of 12 to 18 months. The volunteer raises the puppy in their home, teaching basic obedience and socialization. However, the unique part of this volunteer position is taking the puppy nearly everywhere you go. Support is provided from professional staff from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. You’ll need to be able to spend most of the day with the puppy, not leaving it alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. These pups are raised with the intention of being with someone 24/7 as a working guide dog. Pups are placed into homes at approximately eight weeks of age, so you will be housebound for a short time. Once the puppy’s vaccinations are in place, around four months of age, you will be asked to take the puppy anywhere you go and introduce it to as many environments and situations as possible, that it may later encounter as a guide dog. If you work outside of the home, you would start with a 16-week old puppy, so that vaccinations are in place and you can take the puppy to work and public areas immediately. You are expected to take the pup for daily long walks in all weather conditions, so an active lifestyle is preferred. This is a unique volunteer opportunity, and you could help play a role in changing someone’s life. Would you be a suitable candidate for a volunteer position like this? The main thing is that the pup not be left at home alone all day. Current volunteers include stay-at-home par-

Puppy raisers, who are employed full-time and have permission from their employer, can have the puppy in the workplace. It’s a great way for a company to show their philanthropic spirit, and to boost morale, as employees encounter a cute little puppy at work on a daily basis. All food, supplies, and veterinary expenses are provided by the organization. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to work as a guide dog. Email info@guidedogs.ca or call (613) 6927777 for more information on how you can help.

The Table hosts second ‘Sleep A Night Under My Roof’ training day Nov. 22 On Nov. 22, the Table Community Food Centre will be hosting a free allday workshop for front line workers and service providers called Sleep A Night Under My Roof. The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Perth Lion’s Hall and will include yummy healthy snacks and a delicious luncheon prepared by the Twisted Fork. The Table held a similar event back in May of this year, and received such positive feedback that they decided to run it again, so that those who missed it the first time might have a chance to participate. This time, in addition to service organizations from Lanark County, service providers in Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa, along with local MPs, MPPs and town councils, are invited to participate. This initiative is funded through the Law Foundation of Ontario, and is a Connecting Communities program designed to help raise awareness of, and educate front line workers on tenant and housing rights under the law, by providing participants with firsthand knowledge of the issues community members face related to housing. The training, developed by event co-ordinators Vicki MacMillan and Tracey Parker, is based on the popular Homelessness Maze, an experiential learning activity first created by the Canadian Mental Health Association and further adapted by local Health Units and Algonquin College Perth for use across Ontario. To ensure the relevance and accuracy of the training, the Table is working with local people with lived experience, along with event partners — the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Legal Clinic, Lanark County Interval House, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit and YAK — to provide input on the scenarios. Participants will also receive a resource booklet that they can take back to their agencies after the workshop, designed as an easy-to-share information source for co-workers and others. The morning portion of the workshop will be devoted to a role-play activity designed to give participants the opportunity to not only learn but experience the housing issues faced by many low-income community members. Participants will each be given a character and background story, and proceed to work their way through “the system” by visiting relevant agencies, set up in kiosks around the room. This will be followed by a whole-group discussion to reflect upon the experience by identifying and exploring the feelings, issues, obstacles and challenges confronted by their character. After lunch, a representative from the legal clinic will provide basic but important information about housing law and the Residential Tenancies Act including such topics as: evictions, maintenance and repairs, harassment and discrimination, rent increases, moving out, tenant belongings and
more, tailored to the issues and challenges identified during the morning activity. The workshop session will end with a debrief about the day, along with feedback about how participants can use the training materials and resource booklet. There will be opportunities for open discussion with legal clinic staff throughout the day, so participants can ask questions and discuss future collaboration and partnership opportunities with the clinic. In addition to workshop partici-
pants, the Table is recruiting relevant agencies to participate as service providers in the role play, which would involve interacting with participants and providing the information and referrals as during a normal day at their agency. Interested service providers would need to bring materials explaining what their service does, along with intake forms and other relevant documents. The Sleep a Night initiative will also bring participants of the first event in May back to a second half-day ses-
sion on Nov. 23, to take place at the Perth library. At this session participants will discuss the successes they have had using the legal information gained through the training, provide a unique opportunity to receive further feedback, input as to the usefulness of the training materials, to raise new issues, and to learn about other local resources. Reconvening the group will also provide an opportunity for participants to network and collaborate in relation to a range of issues includ-
ing housing-related community action initiatives, future training opportunities, and building professional supports. If you are a front line worker and service provider who is interested in attending please register at Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ sleep-a-night-under-my-roof-tickets38298405562?aff=es2 Contact the event co-ordinators at housing@thetablecfc.org for further information or questions.

COMMENTARY

Stay safe this hunting season
unting Season is upon us and the Leeds Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) encourages hunters to learn and adhere to the following list of rules when hunting in Leeds County. All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (a minimum of 400 square inches or 2,580 square centimetres above the waist) and a hunter orange head cover during gun seasons for deer, moose and elk. Outside the gun seasons for deer, moose and elk these requirements also apply to bear hunters who are not hunting from a tree stand. Handle firearms with care and attention at all times. Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what lies beyond it. It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle or carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle, to discharge a firearm from or across the travelled portion of a right of way for public vehicular traffic. In many parts of Ontario it is also illegal to have a loaded firearm, or discharge a firearm, in any part of the right of way. Firearms must be unloaded and safely secured (in a locked cabinet with a lock on the
trigger) when not being used and ammunition must also be safely secured and stored. Failing to do so is against the law! And above all else, never drink alcohol and hunt. General safety planning * Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning; * Know the weather conditions in your hunting area and dress accordingly; * In an emergency, stay calm and stay put; * Avoid hypothermia. Know how to treat it if it strikes; * Keep hydrated and well nourished; * Carry a survival kit and a small first aid kit with you at all times; * Know how to build a fire in all weather conditions and carry the supplies to start one; and, * Carry a map and compass or GPS unit and know how to use them. To report unlawful night hunting or any other illegal and unsafe hunting activity, call the MNRF TIPS Line at 1-877-847-7667 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household T here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew county. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone!
65 Lorne Street, P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 613-283-3182 Toll-free 1-800-267-7936 Published weekly by:
The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat "biscuits," divided by cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course, so that the biscuits wouldn’t be broken.
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be done away with. But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with
string. I could spend many an hour just sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt. The cards came with a little hole in one corner, and if you wanted to, you could put in a piece of string through the hole. But I could never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added to the cards. The little loaves of Shredded Wheat weren’t individually wrapped, of course. They just sat one on top of the other inside the box. As well as loving the cards, I also loved it when

the box was empty, and I could lay claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that. And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the little loaves, drain the bowl, and then add the cream and brown sugar. The rest of the family thought it was a real treat. Of course, Father would still have to have his fried potatoes and salt pork. It didn’t take long for the Shredded Wheat boxes to become battered and so I would have to tear it down into flat pieces. It was then added to the wood box, along the side where Father kept old copies of the

Renfrew Mercury and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go to help start the Findlay Oval in the morning. Like everything else that came into the house, be it from the general store, or from Renfrew, or from the garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of Father’s favourite sayings “waste not ... want not,” could be even applied to the Shredded Wheat boxes that on rare occasions came into our house.

Labrador land protectors discuss indigenous rights in Perth Nov. 22 As part of a provincewide speaking tour, in \ dividuals representing the Labrador Land Protectors — a group who are trying to stop the threat posed to a number of indigenous nations by a massive hydro project at Muskrat Falls, Labrador — will speak at a free public presentation Wednesday, Nov. 22 at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West, at 7 p.m. Organized by the Ontario Muskrat Solidarity Committee and supported locally by Lanark Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation, the evening will discuss the issues surrounding the $12.7-billion project, which is backed by over $9 billion in federal loan guarantees even though it has doubled from its original price, and will likely cost even more if completed. A significant concern is whether the dam will hold, given a substantial portion is being built on quick clay (sand subject to liquefaction under pressure), as well as the flooding of sacred territories. In addition, during the fall of 2016, Harvard University produced a report documenting the alarming rates of methylmercury poisoning that could be expected if specific mitigation measures were not undertaken at Muskrat Falls (especially clearance of vegetation, trees and soil in a large area slated for the dam’s reservoir). The issue of mercury poisoning’s severe impact on Indigenous people is well known in Ontario because of the international attention focused on the Grassy Narrows community. For indigenous people and settlers living in Labrador, poisoning of traditional food webs that include seal, fish and other creatures would likely have a devastat-

Great afternoon of nostalgia at Station Theatre It’s happening this weekend on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. The Continentals are back at The Station Theatre for an afternoon of good music, good memories, lots of hand clapping and foot stomping. All proceeds go to The Smiths Falls Food Bank. With just a little bit of pride, Dennis Staples says the band was formed in 1964 - that’s over half a century ago - and is considered “one of the oldest and longest performing bands in the area.” Anyone in that age range, with a little memory nudge, can probably recall the band playing at high schools, colleges, bars, hotels and arenas throughout eastern Ontario. And does anyone remember the dances - jive, swing, twist, and shimmy.
Bets are the music is more familiar than the steps! The Continentals come out for a good time but they also come out to give back to the community. This performance is for the food bank, but they’ve donated their time and talent to many fundraisers. This Sunday three of the original Continentals will play: Paul Hanrahan, Art Lee, and Staples. They’ll be joined by Dave White for a memorable, and memory-full afternoon. Thursday night before the fundraiser, Film Night International presents Frantz at 7 p.m. at the Theatre. After the First World War, a young woman, mourning the death of her fiancé, encounters a mysterious Frenchman laying flowers on her beloved’s grave.

The movie plays with English subtitles. Film Night International's profits, after expenses, are donated to the Perth and Smiths Falls public libraries. Individual tickets may be available at the theatre box office 15 minutes prior to screening time. On Nov. 17 and 18, Wind River is playing at the theatre at 7 p.m. The movie is rated R (strong violence, disturbing images and language). It’s been tagged as a chilling thriller 1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com that follows a rookie FBI agent who hooks up with a local game tracker to investigate the murder of a local girl on a remote Native presents American reservation in the hopes of solving her mysterious death. Tickets are available at the Holly Jolly Art Sale the door, first come, first seated. Fine Art & Gifts Submitted by Smiths Falls Community Theatre

What about my indigenous sisters and brothers who wonder if their children and grandchildren will be born with developmental concerns, and those who wonder if the dam, built on clay and sand, will hold.” Morrissey notes that forcing Inuit and Innu to turn away from eating their traditional foods will not only affect their culture, but also pose the economic challenge of purchasing exorbitantly-priced store-bought foods. “And even if they can, how will this affect their ties to the land? In turn, how will this affect the culture?” The Perth speaking event takes place two days before Prime Minister Trudeau will travel to the province to deliver an apology to Labrador residential school survivors. Some of those survivors are among the three dozen indigenous and non-

indigenous protectors who have been criminally charged for peaceful acts of protest, including one journalist facing contempt of court proceedings for covering the issue (a case which has drawn the attention of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression). Also speaking at the Perth panel
will be Emily Philpott, originally from Newfoundland, who is researching the movement against Muskrat Falls and local perspectives on the environmental, social, cultural, and health and safety impacts the Muskrat Falls project will have for people in Labrador. A local perspective on Indigenous resistance will be presented by Mireille LaPointe, a member of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation community who sits as Head of Family on the Heads of Family Council. “A historic community, Ardoch has taken uncompromising positions in defending the Land, manoomin [wild rice] and water from extractive interests,” Lapointe says. The Perth event is free and open to the public. For further information, call (613) 300-9536 or email tasc@ web.ca. Submitted by the Ontario Muskrat Solidarity Committee

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!

Truth about JFK’s slaying unlikely to be revealed The date Friday, Nov. 22, 1963 is forever etched on my mind. I was an elementary school student in Stittsville when we heard the shocking news that United States’ President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been shot to death in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis the year before had taken him from the Second World War hero (the PT 109 story) to the status of much revered international figure. It didn’t seem possible that someone of his stature could have their life snuffed out — just like that. The events that followed, the lying in state, the slaying of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on live television and what, at the time, was the most watched funeral in history have not faded with the passage of time. At least they haven’t left my memory! On Oct. 26, less than a month before the 54th anniversary, JFK’s assassination was back in the news. Most of the remaining files related to Kennedy’s murder were released on the authority of current President Donald Trump. However, at the last minute Trump bowed to pressure from the CIA, FBI and other American agencies who successfully argued that certain Kennedy files should be withheld for further study based on “national security, law enforcement and foreign affairs concerns.” They’ve been given an additional 180 days to review those documents. I come from a family of news addicts. Back in November and December of 1963 my mother collected everything written about the Kennedy assassination. She kept all of the daily newspapers and purchased the many magazines filled with Kennedy coverage. Later I’m sure she was among the first to buy the early books written about the president’s slaying. Among them is a volume entitled The
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Torch Is Passed which is the Associated Press telling of the assassination and its aftermath. Included are Oswald’s slaying and the transition to the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ). As the oldest child in our family and someone who has an intense interest in this subject, that material was eventually handed down to me. I’ve reread it all and watched every television documentary and film dedicated to the Kennedy assassination. I’ve also read many of the literally hundreds of books written on the subject. At the beginning, like most people, I believed the sequence of events and the roles of the alleged participants, as outlined by virtually every news agency. To me there was no question Oswald was a “lone nut assassin” as he has so often been characterized. It was grief stricken Dallas strip club owner Jack Ruby who, in a fit of revenge-fueled rage, snuffed out the killer’s life just two days later. Today, despite much evidence to the contrary, many still believe the original information about the assassination. On Nov. 29, 1963 LBJ announced the formation of the “President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.” It is commonly called the ‘Warren Commission,’ named for its chair the late Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Questionable report In September 1964 the Warren Commission issued an 889-page report. Two months later it released 26 volumes of supporting documents including testimony or depositions from 552 witnesses and over 3,000 exhibits. The commission concluded that both Oswald and Ruby acted alone. However, based on everything I have read, watched and heard I’m no longer among those who believe what I call “the sanitized version of events.” The details contained in The Torch Is Passed for example. Conspiracy theories relative to JFK’s slaying are a dime a dozen. Everyone from the Russians, to the Cubans, to organized crime and even jealous husbands and boyfriends (we now know Kennedy was a notorious womanizer) remain suspects. But if anyone cares to delve into the details there is more than enough evidence available to give even the most ardent Warren Report supporter pause. After reading endless books and articles and studying documented testimony, which has rarely been the focus of the mainstream media, I believe it’s clear that Oswald at least did not act alone. Did he even pull the trigger that fateful afternoon in Dallas? There is documented and compelling evidence to the contrary. The Warren Commission had that evidence but failed to include it in their final report. I believe the members began with a conclusion already in mind. Nothing could dissuade them from their version of events despite sworn testimony from credible witnesses which totally debunks their theories. Ruby’s role, as outlined in the report, seems clear enough. But read the actual evidence presented to the commission and you will be left wondering. Yes, he shot Oswald. But there is so much more to Jack Ruby’s story.
All of this and much more is carefully laid out in what I consider to be the best book ever written about the Kennedy assassination. Entitled Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission the Authorities and the Report on the JFK Assassination it is a masterful dissection of the Warren Report and totally contradicts the commission’s findings. Authored by the late Sylvia Meagher the volume was first published in 1967 but reprinted many times. It’s easily available to this day. Read it and you’ll see why I long ago changed my mind about the official report on JFK’s murder. Meagher did not depend on speculation, innuendo or wild conspiracy theories. Instead she studied all of the evidence presented to the commission and discovered critical gaps. Testimony and evidence withheld from the public which clearly points away from the lone gunman theory on which the Warren Report is totally dependent. When I finished Meagher’s book I was convinced Oswald was exactly what he told the assembled reporters in the Dallas police lock-up immediately after his arrest. He said he was “a patsy.” The files released late last month were retained under the JFK Records Act, a public law passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law on Oct. 26, 1992. The act states that all remaining files were to be opened to public scrutiny exactly 25 years later. Files or no files I doubt we’ll ever know what really happened. But to me one thing is certain. The Warren Report isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. I’m frustrated that the truth behind what remains the most shocking event of my lifetime is unlikely to be revealed. Not in 180 days, not ever! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com

Refurbished historic signs unveiled in Mississippi Mills BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Two refurbished Mississippi Mills historic signs were formally unveiled on Saturday, Nov. 4. The markers, both located in Almonte, were revealed to the delight of onlookers, including local politicians, members of the municipality’s heritage committee and representatives from the North Lanark Historical Society and Lanark County Genealogy Society. “The signs were originally put up by the North Lanark Historical Society,” president Ed Wilson tells the Canadian Gazette. “Over the years they deteriorated,” Coun. John Edwards notes. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin explains the much-needed refurbishing was made possible by way of grant money. The first sign, situated on Clayton Road, merely one kilometre from the intersection of County Road 29, commemorates the 19th century royal visit by the Prince of Wales (Prince Albert Edward), later King Edward VII. The 18-year-old son of Queen Victoria was in Canada to lay the cornerstone for the Parliament Buildings. “In 1860, future King Edward VII drank here at this spring among the cedars,” reads the marker. It continues: “He went on a timber raft, then to Arnprior. A cortege of 20 carriages accompanied him to Almonte to board the train for Kingston, Almonte being the end of

At Metcalfe’s House on this hill, he stopped for a drink of water and received a cold fresh drink from the spring among the cedars.” at McLaughlin says the second sign, located at 2312 Ramsay Concession 8, tells the story of a local hero – Bean Chevrolet 613-257-2432 Buick GMC Ltd. 375 McNeely Ave, Carleton Place George Eccles (1873-1909). Eccles, born and raised at the site, was the first radio telegrapher in the world to die at sea.

Carleton Place author Natasha Peterson has recently released her fourth book, entitled “Polar Bear Pete’s Perfect Performance.”
al (2016), Nutty Neighbours (2016) and Harold the Homeless Hermit (2017) have all won Canada Book Awards. The Canada Book Awards recognize and promote the outstanding accomplishments and contributions of Canadian authors to the publishing world. Gayle the Goose Goes Global is about a directionally challenged Canada goose. The book deals with themes of bullying and self-acceptance. “Gayle gets left behind at migration time because her flock feels she will slow them down,” Peterson explained. “In an effort to find them, she crosses Canada by accident, but ends up stronger and independent in the end ... she has just accomplished something terrifying.” Nutty Neighbours is about a chipmunk and squirrel. They do not like each other. “After working together to get some food, they both realize it was silly not to like each Award winning Peterson’s first three books, other as they have much in Gayle the Goose Goes Glob- common,” Peterson explained.
“This book gently deals with stereotyping as the two judged each other before getting to know the other.” Harold the Homeless Hermit is about a hermit crab that outgrows his shell, and he must find a new home. “Harold starts dreaming about bigger and better homes, and he gets greedy in search of a new residence,” Peterson stated. “Harold learns the hard way that the grass is not always greener on the other side, and he also learns that home is where your family is.” In addition to a bachelor of arts in Canadian Studies from Carleton University, Peterson holds a bachelor of education from Windsor University and a law clerk diploma from Algonquin College. On top of her four books, Peterson has 11 poems published in several anthologies. In 2015, she won an Award of Excellence with the Poetry See BOOK page A/CP6

What do Gayle the goose, Charlie the chipmunk, Harold the hermit crab and Pete the polar bear have in common? They are the lead characters in the four books by Carleton Place author Natasha Peterson. Polar Bear Pete's Perfect Performance is Peterson’s latest book, a story about being true to yourself. “This is not always an easy thing to do, and Polar Bear Pete learns this the hard way,” Peterson told the Canadian Gazette. She explained Polar Bear Pete's Perfect Performance is about a macho polar bear with a secret hobby – figure skating. When his hobby gets revealed while saving some friends from an avalanche, he is terrified to see how they will react. “Instead of being shamed, which is his immediate assumption, the crowd of animals applauds his skills and bravery,” Peterson said. “Pete realizes his friends also have some amazing talents they have been hiding in fear of his reaction.” “This book deals with how we are all unique and should not be afraid of what makes us special,” the author added. All of Peterson’s books, including Polar Bear Pete’s Perfect Performance, for ages four to nine, share a common theme, which is “we all encounter challenges growing up, but we can handle it,” she said. “When we decide to confront our fears, we are better and stronger people/animals for tackling life’s challenges,” Peterson added. Once again, Peterson is working with her dream team: Ankur Majumder, art; and Manoj Pradhan, project coordinator; and and Ruhi Soni, book layout. They are all from India.

able subject for some people, and what they do not see they may not understand.” Maurice noted, people may think youth homelessness is a big city problem; however, the issues driving youth homelessness are present in every community. There are homeless youth in Lanark County. In October 2016, Ink & Iron Tattoo Co. hosted a zombie walk to held end youth homelessness. “It was not the greatest turnout ... 10 people,” Maurice admitted. “This year, I wanted to make a bigger impact.” She believes One Cold Night will do just that.
tgesner@metroland.com
Could you do it? Carleton Place politicians, business owners and community members will give up their warm homes and beds on Nov. 17 to sleep outside to raise money and awareness for area youth facing homelessness. One Cold Night is a fundraising initiative of Lea Maurice and Courtney Hartwick, co-owners Soak Artisan Bath & Body, located at 157 Bridge St. All proceeds go to Cornerstone Landing Youth Services Inc., a communitybased, non-profit charitable organization providing assistance for homeless youth. If Maurice’s name sounds familiar, she also owns Ink & Iron Tattoo Co., located at 154 Beckwith St. “Sleeping outside gives people the opportunity to experience homelessness and the struggles that go along with it, even if just for one night,” Maurice told the Canadian Gazette in a recent interview. “It is really important to understand what kids go through being homeless.” Wind, rain or snow ... whatever Mother Nature has to offer, One Cold Night runs from 10 p.m. on Nov. 17 (Friday), going through the night until 6 a.m. on Nov. 18 (Saturday). “We will be set up outside Soak,” Maurice noted, and “the shop will be

The soaps are available from Nov. 10 to Nov. 17. open all night to offer washroom facilities.” The Owl Café a few doors down, located at 135 Bridge St., is also staying open all night, offering One Cold Night participants a place to get coffee or to warm up.
“We do not want people to get sick,” Maurice stressed. “Sleeping bags, snowsuits ... we are not asking anyone to come out and not be dressed for the weather.” “The point is to make a statement,” she continued. “This is an uncomfort-
the mayor because he is Greek,” Maurice explained. “We did two soaps, a male and female bar.” Kratos, the personification of strength and power in Greek mythology, is for men. Apollo, made with olive oil and lavender, is for women. “When I told him (Antonakos) about the soaps, he chuckled and said ‘I am scared’,” Maurice said with a smile. Freshly cut bars of Kratos or Apollo cost $8 each. “If we sell all of them it is an extra $400,” Maurice noted. The Soak Artisan Bath & Body co-owners spent time walking up and down Bridge Street recently, looking for pledges and more people to come out and spend the night with them. “We have pledge sheets at a handful of downtown businesses,” Maurice said. “They are collecting money for us.” Erica Gyldenbjerg of The Twisted Barber, Downtown Carleton Place co-ordinator Kate Murray, Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and People First of Canada president Kory Earle are among some of the others sleeping outside on Nov. 17.
Challenge By way of a video on social media, Maurice and Hartwick challenged Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos to participate in One Cold Night, camping out with them on the street for eight hours. “He came into the shop the next day and accepted our challenge,” Maurice said, and “he has been really supportive.” In an effort to raise additional monies for Cornerstone Landing Youth Services Inc., Soak Artisan Getting involved Bath & Body is offering its customMaurice is always ready to help out ers two special soaps between Nov. 10 Cornerstone Landing Youth Services and Nov. 17.

Musical comedy ‘A Peak at Rayburn’s Annual Pakenham’ premieres Nov. 15 RANCH ROUND-UP You won't want to miss seeing the new musical comedy A Peak at Pakenham written by Fern Martin. It features the history of Pakenham, starting a billion years ago — to about 1860. She had to stop there — too much history! Martin started her research by interviewing geologist Neil Carleton (Pakenham has very interesting geological features), as well as reading historical books by local authors Verna McGiffen and Jean McGill. As she researched, some fascinating characters emerged — so the play contains: a mountain (Ed Lawrence), a quarry (Jenny Pfitzer), as well as step dancing fossils, dancing belugas and fighting men ready to take part in Pakenham's one-day war. Then there's the Algonquins, the Scots, the Irish and the truly amazing Andrew Dickson — not only the founder of the community but a recognized geologist, educator, leader in prison reform and the person most responsible for Pakenham being the cultural centre of eastern Ontario in the 1800s. All of these characters are conjured by a grandmother with magical abilities as she helps her granddaughter with a history project. One of the chorus members, Kathy Duncan, was asked what she thought the audience would particularly enjoy. She said, "The audience is going to find our Quarry 'rock hard' on humour, our Gram's

Inc. Getting personal, owing to a difficult family life, “I was a homeless youth once upon a time,” she admitted. Born and raised in Ottawa-Vanier, “As a teenager, I spent time living on the streets and going to shelters,” Maurice continued. “I often slept in school playgrounds because I thought it was the safest place for a young female ... sleeping inside the (tube) slide for shelter.” She recounted sleeping inside a bus shelter during the summer with ants crawling all over her ... “I had no where else to go.” Maurice’s husband (Mathieu) came from Midland, and as a youth he was homeless for about five years. “I was lucky enough that I was never completely homeless during the winter, however he was, with no place to go,” she explained. As an adult, Maurice pursued work in social work and addictions. “I have worked with the homeless population,” she revealed, and “I have worked with the Salvation Army in downtown Ottawa.”
magic powers for storytelling amazing and famous Mount Pakenham will be even more famous with Ed Lawrence.” Gillian and Ed's duet is going to make everyone cry for sure — it makes me cry every time. The Log Drivers Waltz, Land of the Silver Birch and Tavern in the Town are my favourite songs,” Duncan continued. “I think the audience will be singing along. The audience will love our chorus dance moves —as long as I am in the back row!" Director/choreographer Kris Riendeau has enhanced the script with her dynamic creativity. Musical director Cathy Giles has a magical keyboard with many tones and fun tunes and Carol Mortimer's costume designs are truly amazing. The play takes place at Almonte's Old Town Hall on the evenings of Nov. 15, 16, 17 and 18. There is also a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20, $10 for children 12 and under and are available at Baker Bob's in Almonte, Nicholson's Sundries in Pakenham and at both Almonte and Pakenham libraries. Proceeds will help pay for the renovations at the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. A Peak at Pakenham is sponsored by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills.

The Mammy’s #MeToo moments My mother isn’t here to write this column – so I’ll do it for her. I’m writing this on Monday, Nov. 6, the third anniversary of her death. My sister Dympna wrote on Facebook this morning that she thought that dealing with her mother’s death would get easier with time – it has not. If my mother were alive today, she’d have something to say about the Harvey Weinstein scandal engulfing Hollywood. She always had something to say. Something witty. Something withering in its scorn. Something smart. She might not quite have gotten the whole hashtag idea, nor would she have liked Twitter – nothing against technology, but there was no way anyone was going to restrict her to just 140 characters! The Weinstein scandal has spread – as of this writing – to several other prominent Hollywood figures, like Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman. But this is nothing new for my mother, sadly. In August of 1965, the science fiction movie Dr. Who & The Daleks premiered. Shortly after its release, my grandmother set my mother up on a date with a young man. My guess, if the chronology is correct, is that she wanted to dissuade her from dating that young trainee mechanic from the central city (my dad) so, she was trying to show her other, supposedly better options. While the film was the biggest domestic moneymaker on British screens that year, my mother hated the movie. (Knowing this, my father made sure to take her to better movies, like Sir David Lean’s Dr. Zhivago.) That night, as they made their way home from the cinema, her date started to creep her out, big time. Then, he started to make some lewd suggestions about how she could, ahem, thank him for the evening, nudge nudge, wink wink. She said no. He persisted. He pushed her up against a stone wall and tried to have his way with her. It was dark. Her hands felt along the wall, hoping for something, anything, that she could defend herself with. Then, she found it. The perfect weapon. A brick had started to come loose. While he was distracted, she pried the brick loose from the wall, and hit him across the face with it. She walked off, as he lay on the sidewalk, bleeding. My mother could have a sense of humour too when it came to putting men in their place. Another young man who “fancied” her in the Swinging Sixties in

Ireland, was “bothering” her. “I’ll die without it (sex),” he said. She rolled her eyes. “No, really,” he said, starting in on a lie that he must have thought my mother would buy (he clearly didn’t know her that well.) “It’s a medical condition. If I don’t have it soon, I’ll die.” My mother thought about this for a minute. “How long do you have?” she asked. Caught off guard, he replied, “Eh, two weeks.” “OK then,” she said, getting up and walking away. He might have thought that he would get a second chance at life in two weeks, if he were thinking optimistically. My mother had other plans. Two weeks later, to the day, my mother, dressed in black, bearing flowers, showed up at his family home. His mother answered the door. “I’m sorry for your loss missus,” said my mother, extending the flowers to her. The lady of the house was bewildered. “Sure we’re not after losing anyone,” she said. “Unless there’s something that’s just happened.” My mother explained about her son’s Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland imminent demise – and the cause behind it. The colour drained from her face as she heard what her son had been up to. “Oh I see now,” she said, looking down at the flowers. “Well, there may be indeed The IODE Captain Hooper chapter’s annual fall craft show took place on Saturday, Oct. 28 at the Carleton a funeral in this house soon, when I’m Place Arena.

Above, Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos, left, chats with Downtown Carleton Place BIA chair Mark Lovell, who also performed a few musical numbers. Middle, visitors peruse historical displays commemorating the building of the Carleton Place Town Hall, which officially opened Oct. 25, 1897. Top right, Coun. Sean Redmond was MC for the event. Bottom right, town clerk Duncan Rogers shows off the Carleton Place flag during a tour of the council chambers.
HALL
From front page
“The event was one of splendour. Citizens arrived in bright apparel, mounted the broad staircase and were seated by six full dress ushers. For many months the event had been almost a poetic fancy in the popular mind.” Redmond provided those in attendance with a bit of history on the property the town hall is situated on, which originally belonged to the Morphy family. They built a house on the land in 1820 and the town purchased it in 1895. It took two years to build the town hall at a cost of $23,000, including river foundations. It was originally steam heated with electric bells and lights. “It was designed by George King and built by Matthew Ryan,” Redmond said. “It has some examples of the Richardsonian Romanesque style of architecture, which was popular in North America in the later quarter of the 19th century. Some of the things that were interesting with the building, typical features were rough stone, rounded head windows, semicircular arches, round doors…and of course, some of the lovely tin ceilings we have as you look around here.” Administration, council meetings and the auditorium weren’t the only original features. When initially built, the town hall also accommodated police and fire brigades. “At one time, this was the hub of the community. One-hundred and twenty years ago, this was the town hall, council, administration, water, sewer, everything worked out of the town hall, as well as police, fire and our library,” Redmond stated. “Anything that happened in Carleton Place 120 years ago, happened in this building.” Redmond said the auditiorium, where the Nov. 2 reception was held, featured “one of the last great stages
left in Canada.” “What that basically means is that in most places the seats slope up so the audience can sit back and watch… Here in Carleton Place, we’re a little different, which is a good thing. The stage actually goes up. The front of the stage to the back of the stage, you’re looking at an 18-inch differential in height,” Redmond commented, noting it can be quite challenging for performers. Over the years, the structure was upgraded and finally several years ago, air conditioning was added. Redmond remembers hot evenings in the auditorium at performances where the windows, which lack screens, would be opened up. “We had hundreds of shadflies coming in here and you’re up there singing and dancing in front of the lights and it just seemed like every time you went to take a deep breath, you got some protein,” he joked. A program and invitation to the inaugural ball, as well as information on the construction of the town hall was displayed but Redmond noted that one thing is missing – pictures of the building during construction. “It took two years to build and we’ve got all kinds of pictures afterwards, but we don’t have any pictures during construction. So, everybody, scour around, look, ask, beg, borrow or steal, whatever…that’s one of the things we’re missing,” he said. Lovell entertained the audience with two typical melodies (‘Who Threw the Overalls in Mistress Morphy’s Chowder’ and ‘Steamboat Bill’) that would have been performed 120 years ago, adding his own Carleton Place spin to the lyrics. During the evening, town clerk Duncan Rogers also took guests on tours of the town hall. “We’re pretty lucky with the heritage we have here,” Redmond concluded.

Almonte Celtfest 2018 fundraising kicks off with Harvest Ceilidh Nov. 10
Ashley Kulp/Metroland
The Pakenham & District Civitan Club made a $5,000 donation to the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library during the Oct. 24 Mississippi Mills council meeting. Civitan club president Doris Rankin, centre, presented the funds to chief librarian/CEO Pam Harris, left, and Mayor Shaun McLaughlin. The funds wlll be directed towards the Pakenham branch’s renovations, which is set for a grand re-opening Saturday, Nov. 25 from 3 to 5 p.m.
Mark Friday, Nov. 10 on the calendar, gather your friends, and come on out to the first fundraiser for Celtfest 2018, the Harvest Ceilidh, a Celtic music variety show in the Almonte Old Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from all organizing committee members, at Baker Bob’s, online from Eventbrite.ca, and at the door at a cost of $22 each. Performers include Ramblin’ Valley Band, the Barley Shakers, Patrick Donnelly and the Valley Voices Community Choir. Hailing from Ottawa, the Ramblin Valley Band features the talents of five guys playing a variety of instruments who deliver ‘hootin’, hollering’ blues, country, bluegrass, and rock n' roll jams "all rolled into one sweet spread." Everyone knows and loves Almonte’s Barley Shakers, a Celtic music group of eclectic musicians who perform a
range of fiddling tunes from Old Celtic to Broadway show and popular songs. Patrick Donnelly is a well-loved fiddler from the Ottawa Valley, recently featured at the Celtfest annual general meeting. Valley Voices Community Choir lends singing to round the evening out with tunes to celebrate the local culture, reflecting their motto: "If you can walk, you can dance; If you can talk, you can sing." In addition to the musical program, beer and snacks will be available for purchase, as well as Celtfest and band swag. It takes a lot of resources to offer festivals of the calibre of Almonte Celtfest, an event held every July for the past 21 years. This year’s organizers are determined to deliver, once again, the kind of festival which Ottawa Valley crowds appreciate and support. But they need your help building up to the
2018 festival with your support of these smaller fundraising events. Watch also for upcoming details about the next Celtfest 2018 fundraiser, a Curling FUNspiel, scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan. 20. Get your team together and plan to participate in this day of social play at the Almonte Curling Club arena.

The man known for being a master, when it comes to being a master of ceremonies, was honoured in Carleton Place last weekend. Charlie Kitts was just about to introduce Renfrew singer Bailey Rogers for her first solo performance in the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena at the Country Harvest Music Show on Sunday, Oct. 15, when the spotlight, figuratively, swung toward him. “(Kitts is) a community individual,” said musician John Bowes. If Kitts is involved in a show, “he makes their show perfect,” said Bowes. He commended Kitts for always “going about his work quietly,” and that he “gets very little recognition.” That changes when he was given a handful of Toronto Maple Leafs memorabilia, including a calendar and a baseball cap. “We have some of the best music here in Lanark County,” Bowes continued. That musical heritage is still alive, and well, because “you guys come out and support,” Bowes said. And again, this is where Kitts comes in, to help pull together a professional show, because, otherwise, “if it’s disorganized, people don’t come back.” Bowes joked that the honouring of Kitts — which included a standing ovation from the audience — had to be done without his knowledge because, if he knew he was to be honoured, “he’d leave!” “I do it for the fun of it,” said Kitts humbly afterwards. “I hope I do a good job of it,” Kitts said, before quickly moving the show along, introducing the next act. But afterwards, back stage, Kitts was seen in a moment of quiet contemplation, looking over his new calendar, appearing to be touched.

Cheerfully Made helps make play possible with generous donation Some pillars of our community work quietly in the background helping to change the lives of others. Emily Arbour from Almonte is one those people. Every year, she and her team pull off one of the biggest craft shows in the area, then give away half of the entry fees to a charity. Arbour’s business, Cheerfully Made Goods + Markets, works with Etsy (an online craft retailer) to open the annual Made in Canada Ottawa show. Supporting charities like Making Play Possible is important to Arbour, as she wants to give back to her community and “share some of
Almonte’s Cheerfully Made Goods + Markets recently made a $9,562 donation to Making Play Possible.

the opportunities that I’ve been given with those who might need help. Also, it feels amazing to be able to give so much simply by doing something I love.” This year, she gave more than $9,500 to the children and youth of Leeds and Grenville. This money will change the lives of many who otherwise cannot afford recreation opportunities or whose families face other barriers. There are significant and lasting benefits for kids who are involved in recreation activities such as arts or sports. Improving self-esteem and social skills are the beginning.
Often, the motivation the children receive carries over to their families. For children whose home life is not ideal, this opportunity can be extremely important to be able to build healthy relationships and to imagine their adult lives differently. With thanks to community members like Arbour and the volunteers who run Making Play Possible, many children will have a chance to experience something new and wonderful.

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Storyteller Mary Cook launches new book – her twelfth BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
An admired storyteller and author from Carleton Place recently launched her latest book, The Best Job in the World. Mary Cook’s 12th work is a collection of her reflections – on topics ranging from Valley People to Remembering When and Modern Life to Home, Sweet Home. “The book has nothing to do with the 1930s,” Cook told the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 25. “It is a deviation from what I usually write.” For many years, Cook authored a column for eight newspapers serving eastern Ontario. It was an opinion column. “I took people and companies to task, and I was always writing jokes about my husband ... it was all done in a light vein,” she said. One-hundred-and-ninety-nine of these columns are in Cook’s new book. “I had no intention of doing this book,” Cook revealed. “In fact, I was very much against it.” She thought, “Who cares … nobody gives a hoot.” Burnstown Publishing House convinced the storyteller to move forward with the project, and about nine months ago a company representative

The book is now on sale. came to Cook’s home with a memory “I could not believe I had that stick and retrieved the columns from many, and I certainly was not going her computer – all 836 stories. to go through them all,” Cook stated.
“I know nothing about the computer, even though I am on it each day.” Perth editor Susan Code was brought on to go through the columns and pick the ones for the book. Cook was “absolutely delighted with the choices.” The Best Job in the World was completed mid-October. It can be purchased online at www.burnstownpublishing.com, at Mill Street Books in Almonte, and “all local book stores in eastern Ontario,” Cook said. The book costs $25. Cook was born in Ottawa and raised in Renfrew, and just in time for high school her family moved to Carleton Place. “Writing for me started in high school (Carleton Place High School), and I did my first radio broadcast in Grade 13,” Cook said. “It was with CFRA, and it was from the Almonte Fair.” “That would have been in the late 1940s, and I just never looked back,” she added. “I had my own radio show in Sarnia and then went to CBC in Windsor.” Owing to her 48-year career at CBC (Windsor, Toronto and Ottawa), Cook earned seven ACTRA awards for excellence in broadcast journalism. They hang on the wall in her home office. “When I say I won seven ACTRA

Foundation
awards, the people who told me their stories ... they were the winners of the ACTRA awards,” Cook stressed. “All I did was put the microphone in front of them and put their stories on the radio.” Cook is a regular contributor to major publications across the country, and her weekly articles in the Metroland Media newspapers continue to resonate with readers. Moreover, she is the author of 11 books, including Another Place at the Table, A Bubble Off Plumb, Christmas with Mary Cook, This Then Was Home and Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! “I am working on my 13th book, and I already have a title,” she said. For Every Leaf that Falls is the story of Cook’s family moving off their farm in Renfrew and into Carleton Place. It is the story of her mother, Mable Haneman, who could not wait to leave the farm. “She became a very successful businesswoman in Carleton Place, and we are pretty sure she opened the first private nursing home in Canada,” Cook said. Cook has received numerous citations throughout the years, including certificates from former Ontario premiers Bill Davis and Bob Rae, and former prime minister Jean Chrétien. See COOK page A/CP17

Patients at AGH benefiting from new Glide Scopes purchased with donations
Patients at AGH are now benefiting from three new Glide Scopes thanks to donations made to the AGH FVM Foundation in 2016. The Emergency Department, Obstetrical Operating Room, and the Main Floor Operating Room each received one, at a cost of approximately $14,000 per Scope.
“Many intubations can be difficult, especially for physicians that are not doing them every day,” points out Ward. The new Glide Scopes make it much easier, even in difficult situations such as with a patient who has sustained a neck injury. Other factors can also contribute to making intubation more of a challenge including short necks, receding jaws, patients with a high body mass index and head or neck trauma.
“A Glide Scope assists with intubation,” said Avis Ward, Team Lead, OR. Intubation is accomplished by inserting a flexible plastic tube into the trachea (windpipe) to maintain an open airway or to serve as a conduit through which to administer certain drugs. “The hand-held camera device is inserted into the patient’s mouth which allows the physician to see the vocal cords, epiglottis, etc. on a monitor. Pictures can be taken if necessary as well.” The Hospital had two older Glide Scopes. “They were really old,” said Ward, “even black and white.” Although they still served their purpose, physicians seem really pleased with the new ones because they allow for better viewing and are much easier to use.
Another bonus feature of the new equipment is that it can be cleaned in the sterilizer, known as an autoclave, thus reducing the risk of infection. The Hospital counts 100% on funds raised in the community to pay for replacement and new equipment. These new Glide Scopes are examples of the positive impact that donors have on safe, high quality care for the patients served by AGH.
OR Team Lead Avis Ward demonstrates the Glide Scope. Connected to Your Community - A/CP16 - Thursday, November 9, 2017

COOK
From page A/CP16
The Town of Renfrew recognized her, and she received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Cook owns the “Queen of Carleton Place” title, and on Sept. 28, during this year’s Senior of the Year banquet presented by Waterside Retirement Community in partnership with the town, Cook received the inaugural Outstanding Service Award for her 62 years with the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper chapter. “In my bedroom I have three medals on ribbons, and I have absolutely no idea what they are for,” Cook admitted. “It does not mean they are less meaningful … you get to a point where you forget.” “My rec room is full of more awards,” she added, and “my husband (Wally) has blown up and framed all of my book
covers, putting them up on the walls.” Outside of writing, Cook has had “such a life … a wonderful ride.” “I was the lay observer for the Ontario Veterinarians Association for three and a half years (1976 to 1978) in Guelph,” she said, and “I was a head fashion consultant for Saks Fifth Avenue (Regency Room) before I went to CBC.” From 1958 to 1995, Cook and her husband owned Cook’s of Carleton Place Limited on Bridge Street. “Wally did carpets and draperies … it was a big interior decorating business … it was a twofloor department store,” Cook said. Upcoming events Sitting in the office of her Dufferin Street home, Cook flips through her appointment book. On Nov. 18, she will be in Renfrew on Valley Heritage Radio
(98.7 FM) at 10:45 a.m., followed by a book signing at A Sense of Country at 2 p.m. “If I ever lost this book I would need to move out of the country,” Cook said with a laugh. On Nov. 25, the author will be in Almonte at Mill Street Books for a 2 p.m. book signing. “I do a tremendous amount of public speaking,” Cook noted. “Sometimes, I do three speeches in one week.” Between now and the end of the year, she has eight speeches booked. “They usually want to hear the stories from the 1930s,” Cook said. “These stories had their birth on the radio in 1976, going right up until the mid 1990s.” One of Cook’s favourite stories in The Best Job in the World is Nightgowns. She explained: “My mother handed out a lot of advice on a lot of subjects in her lifetime. However, two pieces stick out in my mind – get dressed as soon
as you get out of bed and never get caught in your nightgown, as well as never get caught with a pin in your underwear … you never know when you are going to be in an accident.” Other much-loved stories in the book include Housework and Sex and What’s So Offensive About a Clothesline? “I will continue to write as long as I can put two coherent words together,” Cook said, and “there is a very good reason … I have no hobbies – no artistic bone in my body.” Age means nothing to the writer. “My day starts between 5:30 and 6 a.m., and I am never in bed before midnight,” she revealed. “I have boundless energy to burn, and I rarely take a nap.” Other than severe spinal stenosis, “I am in reasonably good health, and thank God there is nothing wrong from the shoulders up,” Cook continued. “I have a phenomenal memory.”

MANSON In memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather Kenneth Manson, November 13, 2016. He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries went unspoken too.

He was there, a firm foundation. Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife.

HOUSE TOUR
From page 2
it’s a 19th century brown limestone home and its early 1800s character has been restored and features a ceiling with 24-foot original wood pegged log beams and four stone arched design fireplaces. Next up is 238 Lyndhurst Street, a custom side-split home opposite the Mississippi River. Built in 1964 for one of the founders of Leigh Instruments, the current homeowners have reconfigured its layout which features Prairie School and mid-century design elements. Built in approximately 1894, 92 Munro Street was originally owned by the Leach family and boasts wide plank pine flooring and stained glass. The current homeowners purchased it in 2016 and have added antiques and textiles from around the globe. A new, open concept bungalow with finished basement will be found at 136 Munro Street. A traditional Christmas decorating theme will be highlighted as well as the homeowners’ growing Santa collection. The Victorian brick home at 337 Moffatt Street still maintains most of its original glory with a few updates included a new kitchen added on several years ago. The homeowners’ impressive antique collection will be featured and the high ceilings provide ample space to showcase upwards of 15 Christmas trees. A Cape Cod style home is at 286 Oakland Crescent, Glen Isle. A brick faced bar welcomes guests into the
family room and it also includes a large designer kitchen. The lady of the house, a gifted designer, has created a comfortable home with a calming eclectic style. The final stop is 124 Wilson Street in Appleton, a stone mansion sitting on two acres, overlooking the Mississippi River. It was built by the Teskey brothers in the mid-1800s. Key features of this home include five fireplaces, five staircases and spacious high ceilings. Originally built with eight bedrooms, they have been reduced to five over the years and the accompanying carriage house provides a gym/games room wing. Tickets for the house tour are $25 per person and are available in Carleton Place at Carleton Place Nursery, The Beckwith Kitchen and the CDPMH gift shop; in Almonte at Crush Marketplace; in Merrickville at Windsor’s Courtyard; in Stittsville at Pretty Pots Flower Shop; as well as at Yarn Forward in Kanata, Tinseltown Emporium and Flowers Talk Tivoli.

Almonte and District High School students travel to Stratford Festival A group of students from Almonte District High School attended the 64th annual Stratford Festival in Stratford in mid-October. The students viewed three shows for the festival: School For Scandal, Twelfth Night, and Guys and Dolls. They also had the opportunity to take a tour of the warehouse containing props, costumes, and other set pieces from all previous productions by the Stratford Festival since 1953. The group had a fun time playing dress-up when they were allowed to try on some of the costumes. The tour also included information and insight on the making of more intricate costumes and props. The students greatly appreciated the works of Shakespeare after seeing School for Scandal and Twelfth Night. They also enjoyed a stop at the Shakespearean Gardens, a peaceful location with a statue commemorating Shakespeare’s successes. Everybody was entranced by the extravagant performance in Guys and Dolls; taking place in 1920s New York, the comedic musical introduces several characters who capture some of the issues sur-
rounding the era and filled the stage with colourful dances and songs. Not only was it a learning experience for the students; it was also heartwarming for the teachers to see the students so inspired by the different aspects that make a theatre show great. The students are sure to keep this in mind while preparing for this year's school play! The Stratford Festival has been known as one of the most outstanding art festivals in Canada. Stratford holds four theatres dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of theatregoers and tourists each year. “The Stratford trip was an awesome opportunity for me as an aspiring actor because it allowed me to see some incredible talent onstage, and what my future could hold if I continued in the arts. it was a lot of fun, and even though there was lots of driving it was totally worth it,” says Callum Leroy. It was a truly rewarding experience for the staff and students who participated. A big thank you goes out to Jenny Sheffield, Paula Jones and Andy Cruthers who arranged for the trip.

Canadians flex offensive muscles in win over Kemptville 73’s It was an offensive onslaught from the Carleton Place Canadians as they beat the Kemptville 73’s on Sunday by a 7-1 score with seven different players getting a goal for Carleton Place. The Canadians had a balanced attack against Kemptville as each forward line chipped in for a goal while the defencemen also created offence. Tim Theocharidis scored the lone goal for the blue-line group, but Cade Townend had a pair of assists while his partner, Brett Thorne, had three assists in the game. “The balance has been really good so far,” Canadians coach Jason Clarke said. “We’ve playing four lines, everyone’s got specific roles and guys are liking their roles. At any given time, when all 12 forwards feel comfortable with their role and are enjoying their role, I think you’re going to get balanced scoring.” It took until 5:31 left in the first period for Zach Tupker to get the game’s first goal, finishing off the Townend-Thorne connection with a snap shot that beat Nick Bond over the goaltender’s shoulder and clipped off the cross-bar on its way into the net.

The Carleton Place Canadians remain in first place in the CCHL with their most recent win over Kemptville Sunday, by a score of 7-1. Above, during an Oct. 22 home game against the Smiths Falls Bears, Bears player Ethan Coltart, left, gets the puck away from Carleton Place’s Kyle Dowdall. ahead 2-0 with 0:15 left in the first emie Forget as he tried to get across period but Eric Faith scored to cut the crease to make the save. the Canadians lead in half with just “On Kemptville’s goal, you’ve got 0:03 left in the frame, beating Jer- to give credit,” Clarke said. “They
snuck a guy in behind one of our guys and we just got a little sleepy defensively. That was one of the things we talked about between the first and second periods. We have to be on it all the time, we can’t get sleepy.” “We were trying to forget about that goal,” Townend added about the message in the first intermission. “Put that aside and keep building. We stuck to our game plan and came out with the win.” Carleton Place responded in the second period with a trio of goals, including goals from Theocharidis and Connor Hill just 0:25 apart. Sam Allison scored the third goal of the period and was more relieved than excited in his goal celebration as the goal snapped a stretch of 15 games without a goal for the CCHL-rookie. The Canadians ensured Kemptville didn’t have a chance in the third period to attempt a come-back as Forget was reduced to the role of spectator in the game as he faced one shot in the period. Meanwhile, Cooper Lukenda – who replaced Bond to start the third period – had 18 shots sent his way. Sam Knoblauch and Ben Tupker beat Lukenda to wrap up the scoring in the third.
Sunday’s game was just the second meeting between these two divisional opponents. The first came back on Sept. 10 which was a 4-3 win for Kemptville at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, in what was a disappointing performance from Carleton Place. “We weren’t happy when we lost earlier in the season so we got a little bit of an edge [Sunday],” said Townend. “Physically we beat them and, obviously on the scoreboard we beat them.” The win increased the Carleton Place winning streak to now 14 games and Clarke said keeping the winning streak alive starts in practice. “You’ve got to be able to work on things you want in practice but you’ve got to play hard in practice,” he explained. “You practice hard, you have good habits in practice, those are going to translate into your game.” The Canadians are back in action on Friday night (Nov. 10) when they host the Nepean Raiders less than two weeks after Carleton Place travelled to the Nepean Sportsplex and left with a 4-1 win on Oct. 29.

Major study finds untreated hearing loss linked to dementia
Tara Gesner/Metroland
In Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League (CPJHL) play, the Smiths Falls Settlers hosted the Almonte Jr. Sharpshooters on Saturday night, Nov. 4 at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre. The Settlers beat the Sharpshooters, 4-1. Above, action in front of the Almonte net sees goalie Alex Miotla making the save. Below, Sharpshooters and Settlers players keep an eye on the puck.
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.”

Carleton Place Heritage Country Music Show Nov. 18 “You can ‘hear’ them smiling.” These were the words that event coproducer Geoffrey Montreuil used to perfectly describe the sounds that were coming from the stage earlier this year, during the Good Years Tribute Show held at the Carleton Place Legion. Those sweet sounds were being made by a collection of some of the area’s best-known veteran country music musicians, who had come together for that special performance. Not only were their faces aglow, but the notes coming out of their instruments seemed to be alive with joy as well. The sold-out audience just loved every bit of it and ate it all up. Their faces were smiling, too. Since then, the “talk” centred around the enjoyment of that afternoon has continued, while the suggestion to “do it again” keeps being repeated. On Saturday, Nov. 18, the Carleton Place Heritage Country Music Show will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The afternoon will be hosted by (Ottawa Valley Troubadour) Lyle Dillabough and will feature the CP Classic Country Kings, who are Clarence Bowes, Dave (Brownie) Brown, Bernie Costello, Rick Legree and John Taylor. Other performers are sure to show up and take part, no doubt. This show, as with the previous Good Years Tribute Show, was conceived in
part to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. But, really, who needs a reason to bring these guys together, anyway? The lineup for the upcoming performance will be a bit different than the one held on March 6, when Clarence Bowes, Dave Brown, Bernie Costello, Tom Gardiner, Mac Knowles and Lloyd Wilson took to the stage; but, the idea remains the same. And that is to bring the area’s bestknown and best-loved players together in one place, at one time, to do their thing; the same ones who have played at countless dances, weddings, special occasions and events over the decades. Together, they encompass hundreds of years of musical experience and countless hours of public performance. So, this is why the name “CP Classic Country Kings” has been attached to these gentlemen for this show. Lyle Dillabough kind of dreamt it up and as he said, “Let’s go with it.” The Carleton Place area, like the rest of the Ottawa Valley, has produced a higher than normal amount of talented musical people. “There’s something in the water,” some have declared. Whatever it is, the talent has certainly emerged, just as the area has been a magnet for some of the country’s (indeed world’s) top performers, too. During the 1950s, the Carleton Place town hall auditorium hosted many top name American artists such as WWVA, Wheeling, W.Va.’s Doc Williams, as well as the CFRA Happy Wanderers
radio show, which was broadcast live from there. During the run of the Riverside Jam, dozens of big-time stars came to perform here, including the legendary Ricky Skaggs, Lorrie Morgan, John Conlee and Ronnie Milsap. Top Canadian artists Paul Brant, Terri Clark, Michelle Wright, Murray McLauchlan, Valdy and so on have come here to do shows as well. And of course, the story of Stompin’ Tom and Carleton Place has grown to become bigger than life. Currently, the town can boast of being the home to a number of nationally/ internationally-known singers that include Jordan MacIntosh, Brea Lawrenson, Arlene Quinn, Brock Zeman, The Bowes Brothers and Lyle Dillabough. Jamie McMunn is by far the top male country artist in the Valley these days, while his father, the late Ron (The Fox) McMunn, still sits alone on his throne atop them all. Case closed: Carleton Place has been nothing less than the hub of country music in the Valley. Tickets for the upcoming Carleton Place Heritage Country Music Show are $15 each and can be picked up at Temptations (117 Bridge St.), SRC Music (124 Moore St.) and the legion (177 George St.). Call 613-257-9002 or email lyleproductions@gmail.com for more information. Submitted by Lyle Dillabough Productions

Again this year the Town of Carleton Place sent a giant pumpkin south to Franklin, Tennessee, its American sister city, in time for Halloween. The huge pumpkin was the centrepiece during Franklin’s annual ‘Pumpkinfest’ held this past Saturday. Thousands attend the fall venture in downtown Franklin. The pumpkin tradition began in 2005 under the auspices of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee. For a third straight year local businessman Jamie Law (pictured top left) drove the pumpkin to Franklin. Pictured beside Law is local realtor Ralph Shaw, a past committee member who continues to manage the annual Sister Cities pumpkin project. Also taking part in the pumpkin send-off Oct. 24 were long-time Sister City Committee members Jean Knowles (second from right), Wendy and Frank LeBlanc. The photo was taken just prior to Law’s marathon, 20-hour drive to Middle Tennessee.
