Official Pakenham library branch opening Nov. 25 BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

The long-awaited renovations are complete and the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library (MMPL) is ready for its close up Saturday, Nov. 25. The rejuvenated and expanded space will be shown off on that day between 3 to 5 p.m. with a ribbon cutting scheduled for 3:30 p.m. with local dignitaries. There will be an opportunity to tour the branch and explore the new features. The two floors of the branch are now fully accessible and an additional 1,200 square feet of space has been added to the existing facility. Argue Construction Ltd. handled the construction, while +VG Architects – The Ventin Group Ltd. were the architects behind the new design. The $1 million project was made possible through a $264,880 grant under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, with the remainder covered by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills through long-term financing. “The goals of the project were accessibility, expanding and opening the space up to the community for access,” explained MMPL chief librarian/CEO Pam Harris. “That means not

just providing room rental, but allowing for more partnering and outreach in the community. This community will shape what they want their library to be.” Those goals have all been addressed in part thanks to a new lift, which is a key-based lock elevator, Harris stated. “It requires assistance to use, but we will be installing a door bell so anyone who needs the lift on either level can ring the bell for assistance. You couldn’t access all areas of the old branch,” she said. The additional space provides ample room for an expanded children’s area on the second floor, which showcases an activity area and lots of natural light. “We have more things that we will be adding to the area as we acquire more furniture,” Harris said. Upon entering the building, visitors will be greeted by open ceilings and as they travel up the stairs to the main level, a community living room, featuring a fireplace and cozy seating can be found. Computer and laptop hookups are also available. DownDesmond Devoy/Metroland stairs, the meeting room spaces can be found, as well as a media room and Flags flying, the Royal Canadian Legion branch 240 colour party leads the way for the parade from the Legion on Bridge Street to the cenokitchenette.

Heritage homes and modern construction come together with inspiring seasonal décor and a Canada 150 twist in this year’s annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour, Dec. 2 and 3. This is the 12th year for the event, which is organized by and serves as a fundraiser for the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District chapter, a voluntary non-profit organization committed to human rights, promoting education and improving the status of women. Throughout the year, organizers have been busy lining up an incredible selection of eight homes for visitors to explore. Each home is paired up with an area decorator and florist who dream up a holiday design scheme tailored to the unique features of the spaces. “The homes are absolutely wonderful this year and with the amazing touches planned by our talented decorators and florists, they are sure to come alive with Christmas spirit and enchantment,” noted Donna Morrow, chair of the CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour. “Along with the décor, talented musicians will be playing in all the homes throughout the tour.” The house tour drew nearly 900 visitors from across eastern Ontario and parts of the United States, attracting those interested in local history, heritage conservation, home construction, restoration and seasonal decorating. This lineup fits in with the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, offering an Ontario blend of culture and heritage. There’s a 200-year-old home lovingly renovated over four years, a Victorian double brick home that’s been in the same family for three generations, as well as an 1858 rural stone home that’s been restored and remained in that family for more than six generations, just to name a few special stops on the tour. The Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour serves as a fundraiser for

rior décor and updates have taken into account its history and charm. An original log home also remains on the property. North 44° Land Design Inc. will handle décor and exterior florals for this house and Gemmell’s Flowers Limited will be the interior florist. An original ‘workers’ cottage built in 1874 is found at the next stop, 22 Gore Street West in Perth. This property received an architecture heritage award for its exterior updates in 2013, while the interior boasts original flooring and a modern kitchen with a large family room. Eclectic international art mixes well with the owner’s creations. Designs by R will decorate the space and interior florals will be provided by The Floral Boutique. Hillside Gardens is the exterior florist. A new build on the foundation of a former house is at 14 Thom Street in Perth. Visitors will find a warm, See HERITAGE page 4

Since the tour’s inception, nearly $200,000 has been allocated in Lanark County. This year’s lineup First stop on the tour this year is the 200-yearold stone home found at 17604 Highway 7 in Tay Valley Township. Situated in a country farm setting, this house has been updated for modern living and includes plenty of windows and natural light. Other features include an Amish kitchen, multiple fireplaces and modern amenities paired with the original plaster ceiling in the living room, pine floors, antique doors and panels.

The 32nd annual Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program was launched Thursday, Nov. 9 at a variety of spots across the county, including the newly renovated Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. Above, from left: OPP Const. Greg Streng, OPP Const. Paige Whiting and library employee Karen Kiddy prepare to hang some tags on a tree.

Angel tree program kicks off 32nd year It’s year 32 and the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program continues to be a success thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year, the program is starting off with 560 angels and was launched Thursday, Nov. 9. The “angels” assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with Lanark County Child

and Family Services or other agencies connected with child and family services and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child. The Lanark County municipal offices of Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands, Drummond/ North Elmsley, Montague, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills, who have been with the program since the start are participating once again. We thank

those employees who continue to monitor the trees and assist with the dispersal of the angels into the communities.

An extra feature on this year’s tour will be the addition of an antique sleigh in the front yard of the Miller heritage home, located on Highway 7, east of Perth. Crafted by the well-known sleigh manufacturer, Munro and McIntosh company of Alexandria, Ont., this particular model was used by the homeowner’s grandfather in the late 1800s.

Introducing the directors of Mississippi Mudds’ ‘Anne of Green Gables – The Musical’ Both the book and musical of Anne of Green Gables hold a special place in our country’s collective heart and mind. But as this special Canada 150 year draws to a close, fans of the adventures of Anne, Gilbert, Mathew and Marilla don’t have to visit Prince Edward Island to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical because Carleton Place’s own Mississippi Mudds are launching a production of the beloved show at the Carleton Place Town Hall between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3. The play, which premiered in 1968, holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest, continually running musical and together with joyous, toe-tapping music and an engaging story, Anne is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The show’s co-directors (and kindred spirits in real life), Patti and Jon Lockhart, can’t wait to present this story that has means so much to them to local audiences. But we wondered who are the Lockharts and what attracted them to bring this musical to local audiences? In addition to their involvement with theatre, both have a strong connection to Prince Edward Island — Jon because that’s where his family is from, and Patti because she had a fascination with the character of Anne of Green Gables from a very early age. Jon spent every summer of his

childhood on his family’s farm on the island and says, "There was lots of ‘scope for the imagination’ for my siblings, cousins and I on our summer vacations exploring the island's famous red dirt roads and of course, eating lots of Cow’s ice cream." For Patti, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s book was an immediate hit from a very early age and Prince Edward Island quickly became a “must see” in terms of a vacation destination. "My fascination with this story didn't go unnoticed by my parents," said Patti. "Prince Edward Island was somewhere I really wanted to experience and so when I was 10, my mom and dad surprised me with a visit to P.E.I. was a dream come true to get to Cavendish and see all the places mentioned in the book and then of course, they took me to Charlottetown to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical. Nothing could have been more inspiring and magical for a little girl who loved everything about Anne. I remembered every bit of it for many years." In addition to her fascination with Anne, Patti was a “theatre kid” and was involved at an early age with her hometown of Bowmanville's local drama club. It was here that she fell in love with the “smell of the grease paint and the roar of the crowd,” which eventually led to her to pursue a theatre degree from the University of

Patti and Jon Lockhart are the directors of the Mississippi Mudds production of Anne of Green Gables - The Musical. Ottawa. She’s had roles both onstage and backstage in live theatre since graduating. After moving to Almonte with Jon and their two children, six years ago, she found herself auditioning for the Mudds' production of Noises Off. Audiences will remember her other comedic turns in Fox on the Fairway and last year's Mary Poppins. Jon Lockhart is no stranger to Ottawa's theatre scene either. His path to the theatre world began through

busking with a high school friend and forming the popular act The Cow Guys. For more than 20 years, he has performed everywhere from Parliament Hill to Belgium, to the Maritimes, to Singapore. Jon has a master's degree in theatre from the University of Toronto and is now the technical director of Ottawa University’s theatre department. He works on a large range of shows each year as well as teaching technical theatre courses. Everyone involved with the show has been busy with rehearsals, memorizing lines and getting the songs just right over the last few months. Singing, acting and dancing across the stage is one of the most talented casts the Mudds has ever seen. "We think audiences are going to be blown away by the young cast — they're truly exceptional," said Jon. "Some have grown up with the Mudds and will be familiar to our audiences, like Callum Leroy, who plays Gilbert, and then there are those making their stage debuts as a Mudd, like Cameron Hunter, who plays Anne. So the energy levels are pretty high right now." “And of course, alongside this bunch of bubbling, energetic youth are a strong, spirited and talented group of veteran actors and singers like Chris Jones, who plays Matthew, and Michele Eno, who plays Marilla, who will be familiar to Mudds audiences. Together, they make one pow-

erhouse cast that will be sure to blow you away," added Patti. The Mudds' production of Anne of Green Gables — The Musical is the perfect way for people of all ages to complete a busy year of sesquicentennial celebrations. In this day and age of stress and turmoil, the musical offers audiences a fun and delightful escape. "We're so proud to be working alongside this fantastic cast and crew and excited too as our kids are following in their parents' footsteps. So we’ll be watching every performance not only with our directors' hats on, but with our proud parent hats' too," said Patti. "And if you haven't read the book, seen the TV series or movie ... that's OK. You'll be immediately drawn into the rich story and characters created at the turn of the 20th century by Lucy Maud Montgomery," added Jon. Anne's innocent world of beauty and imagination will be brought to life for audiences between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Make plans to bring your family, bosom chums and kindred spirits for two hours of imagination, smiles and song. Tickets are available at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce visitor centre (170 Bridge St., 613-257-1976. Submitted by Lori Kay, Mississippi Mudds

Home energy upgrade incentives available through REAL If you’ve been contemplating some home energy upgrades, be sure to look at the Enbridge Home Energy Conservation Program. You could receive $1,600 or more in incentives. The best part about this particular energy program is that it is open to homes heated with natural gas as well as those heated with propane, oil, wood and electricity. If you live in an electrically-heated home, you could receive up to $4,000 in additional incentives. The program is delivered by Enbridge Gas Distribution, in partnership with the government of Ontario, Save ON Energy and Green Communities Canada (GCC). Local organization Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) is an approved service organization of the GCC and is local residents’ entry point into the program. REAL serves the region of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, as well as parts of Frontenac, with this energy program. To qualify, you must have an energy audit completed by a registered energy adviser (REA), complete at least two energy upgrades and save 15 per cent or more of your energy use. These upgrades can be improvements such as insulation, air sealing and heating equipment replacement. Your REA will complete a comprehensive energy audit of your home and send you a report with recommendations of what will give you the most energy savings and what will qualify for the incentive grants. In addition to a complete report on the efficiency of your house, you will be given your home’s official Natural Resources Canada EnerGuide for Houses energy efficiency rating. When you have completed the energy upgrades to your home, the adviser will return to do a short confirmation audit of the upgrades completed, as well as all paperwork and submissions for your incentive grant. If your house was built earlier than 1985 and hasn’t had many energy upgrades, you may be able to achieve the required 15 per cent energy savings and possibly much

more. You will save on your energy bills, reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and be rewarded with a very nice incentive grant. Homes built after 1985 can usually benefit from energy efficiency measures as well, but due to improvements in the building code and home construction, they may not be able to reach the 15 per cent mark.

Our energy adviser can guide you on whether you will likely accomplish the necessary savings before an appointment is booked. To find out more about the Home Energy Conservation Program, see enbridgesmartsavings.com or drop by the REAL Deal Store to pick up a brochure. If you have further questions or wish to arrange an audit,

Salute young role models

I

t’s a way of acknowledging and giving credit to children and teenagers who are making a difference and are going above and beyond what society would expect from someone that age. Youngsters who raise money for a cause or who selflessly volunteer their time to help other people in the community are examples of the positive contributions that are worth celebrating. The Ontario Junior Citizen Award is once again seeking nominations for the annual youth recognition program. Ontario residents between the ages of six and 17 are eligible. There are several areas to which the provincial award applies; they include community service, acts of heroism, contributing to community while living with physical or psychological limitations, excelling in the arts or athletics and so-called “good kids” who are making life better for others. These deserving young people serve

as role models to their peers and also set an example from which many adults could learn. Up to 12 nominees from across the province will be selected, and the award recipients will be honoured at a special ceremony at Queen’s Park next spring. Each nominee will be presented with a certificate of recognition in the new year. Nomination forms are available at ocna.org/juniorcitizen. Supporting documentation, that includes at least two testimonials from individuals other than the nominator, are required. The nomination must also include the consent of a nominee’s parent or guardian, and the deadline for 2017 submissions is Nov. 30. The junior citizen awards program dates back to the early 1980s and is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association, to which we belong. The awards are sponsored by TD Bank Group.

Much work was done to keep log house warm during long winter months Watching Mother get the house ready for the cold blasts of winter, told me that soon the fields would be blanketed with snow as far as the eye could see, and a path would lead us to the barns and the pump in the yard. The long underwear and navy blue fleece-lined bloomers would be ready to replace the flour bag underpants we wore at other times in the year. But Mother, after coming from New York City, to a log house with no amenities, soon found out it took more than the heat from the Findlay Oval to keep the house warm during the long Renfrew county winters. First, she took the rag bag from behind the kitchen door, cut long strips from ragged un-

derwear no longer fit to wear, or wool socks beyond repair, and laid everything out on the kitchen table. Then with a kitchen knife, she stuffed every window frame in the kitchen, so that not a breath of air could come in, while preventing heat from going out. When she finished, the window looked like it had been wrapped for Christmas, framed in every colour in the rainbow. Our bed sheets would be replaced with flannelette, which I thought were more than a step up from the four flour bags sewn together to cover our feather mattresses and separate us from the tickings on top. They came from Eaton’s catalogue, and apart from their warmth, I loved the wide co-

before we crawled into bed, Mother would put the hot bricks in our beds to take away the chill that never seemed to leave the upstairs of our old log house. Sometime through the night, and I could never

catch her at it, my sister Audrey with whom I shared the bed, would remove the bricks when they had lost their heat, and in the morning I would see them stacked at the stair step to be taken back down to the

kitchen. And when it was obvious that winter was here to stay, the parlour, the smallest room in the house, would be closed off. See MARY page 10

Mother would bring in from the summer kitchen the same four bricks that had been stacked out there since spring, and they would be put on the back of the cook stove after supper had been cleared away so that by the time we went upstairs to bed, they would be hot...too hot to handle, so would be wrapped in newspaper and then in a towel.

The Studio Theatre in Perth is getting set to present the classic, A Christmas Story. Above, the cast gathers for a group photo. In front, from left: Cain Elliott, Hunter Rigby, Anthony Nelson and James Graham. Second row, from left: Jerry Logan, Maeve Elliott (standing), Sam Brown, Addison Brown and Carell Allen. Standing far right is Deborah Ward. Missing is character actor Grey Masson.

Studio Theatre brings beloved classic A Christmas Story to life Nov. 30 to Dec. 10 Try this: Mention A Christmas Story to a few friends, then stand back and watch the reaction. Guaranteed, eyes will widen, smiles will appear, and you’ll hear “I love that show!!” For millions of people, a holiday viewing of A Christmas Story is a family tradition. There’s actually an American TV network that has been airing “24 Hours of A Christmas Story” – that’s 12 consecutive showings of the film – each Christmas since 1997. So what is it about this story of Ralphie and his yearning for a Red Ryder BB gun (you know, “the Carbine Action one, the 200-shot model with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time”) that strikes such a cord? It’s a simple story about dreams, those special Christmas dreams we all had as kids, so timeless, so charming, and so beautifully rendered by the story’s creator, Jean Shepherd. Just in time for this year’s Christmas dreams, the stage version of A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre on Nov. 30, adapted by Philip Grecian from Jean Shepherd’s enduring stories about his Midwest childhood. Patricia Parry, director of the Studio Theatre’s production, has seen the way people react to this muchloved story, and she’s thrilled to be able to bring it to Perth. “I’ve met so many people who watch the movie year after year, and know the story of Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB gun inside and out” she says. “The play is very faithful to the film; when Philip Grecian adapted Jean

Shepherd’s story for the stage he knew he had to retain all the things people love about it. His script is simply wonderful.” Don’t think for a moment that if you’re not familiar with the movie you won’t enjoy the play. This is a story that anyone who was a kid will relate to: Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun so badly he can taste it. And although everybody – his parents, his teacher, and even the department store Santa Claus – has told him he’ll “put his eye out with that thing” he hopes against hope that he’ll find it under the tree on Christmas morning. Will his dream come true? We can’t help wishing fervently, for Ralphie’s sake, that it will. Along the way there are schoolyard bullies, pink bunny suits, family squabbles, finicky furnaces, dog-scarfed turkeys, and all the makings of a well-rounded, family friendly comedy, culminating in, you bet, a happy ending. Director Parry has assembled a great cast to tell this beloved story, with ages ranging from four to the 60s. Sam Brown plays young Ralphie, Carell Allen is his mother, and veteran character actor Grey Masson plays grown up Ralph. Well-known local actor Jerry Logan plays “The Old Man” (young Ralphie’s father), and Deb Ward is Miss Shields, Ralphie’s teacher. Jamie Graham plays Schwartz, Hunter Rigby is Flick, Addison Brown is Helen, Maeve Elliot plays Esther Jane, and Caine Elliot and Anthony Nelson share the role of Randy, Ralphie’s

younger brother. Lots of young talent eager to bring a great story to the stage, in a play that everyone will enjoy. Behind the scenes, Penny Silberhorn is stage manager, ably assisted by Annie Mulligan; Reiner Silberhorn is set designer and builder; Paula Batt handles props, Mike Ward, lighting, Julia Egener is the show’s costumer, and Isabel Joyce is the producer. A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre Nov. 30 for seven performances, Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 2 p.m. (Please note: For this production, both Saturday shows (Dec. 2 and 9) are 2 p.m. matinees only.) Advance tickets are $24, and are now available exclusively at Tickets Please in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 4856434; ticketsplease.ca) which accepts in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $24 at the Studio Theatre box office on show nights. There is a special children’s advance ticket price of just $10 for kids under 12. Rush tickets for students with ID are just $10 at the door, subject to availability. Attend opening night and save $5. Remember Perth’s Santa Claus Parade, Saturday, Dec. 2 starting at 5 p.m.! If you’re already a fan of A Christmas Story, you’ll enjoy the Studio Theatre’s fresh take on a classic. Visit studiotheatreperth.com for full details. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre

OPP cautions motorists – don’t veer for deer In an effort to minimize the chances of being involved in a collision with deer, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are offering motorists the following tips: • Be especially attentive from sunset to midnight and during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. Remember – deer seldom run alone. If you see one deer,

A braided rug would be rolled and placed on the floor tight to the door to keep the precious heat in the kitchen. The parlour would only be opened if it was our turn to host the Saturday night party, when hopefully enough heat from the kitchen would warm it up before neighbours moved in to play euchre. With no foundation under the house, the floors were always cold and drafty. Aunt Bertha, our next door neighbour showed Mother how to make simple felt slippers, which were really only two pieces of felt held together with blanketstitching, but helped a little to keep our feet warm. But when we sat around the old pine table

others may be nearby. • When driving at night, use high beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. • Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away. • Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane.

• Always wear your seat belt. Most people who are injured in car-deer collisions were not wearing their seat belt. • Don’t rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer. • Slow down, stay in control and stay alert. Submitted by the OPP

at night, we each had our own cushion to put under our feet as well. Father, of course, never complained about the cold house. At night he sat in the rocking chair by the stove, with his feet on the oven door. His long combination underwear served as his pyjamas, and hand-knit socks from Mrs. Beam left his feet only when Mother forcibly removed them from his feet to add them to the Monday wash. When the serious blasts of winter finally came to Northcote, the pine table, which at other times sat in front of the window looking out to the grape arbour, was moved out from that wall, more into the middle of the kitchen when we had our meals, or after supper when we sat around it in-

I knew before he went to bed, Father would stoke the Findlay Oval, wait for it to catch so we wouldn’t have a flu fire, and as winter closed in around us, everything that could be done, had been done to help us through the long and bitterly cold winters of Renfrew County.

LETTER

From page 8

This is a good question. The answer is that throughout the entire span of the Harper government, I was the Deputy Leader of the government in the House of Commons (usually called “Deputy House

Leader”). All members of the House leadership team (Whip, Deputy Whip, House Leader, Deputy House Leader) are expected, as a condition of the job, to vote with the government on all items of government-initiated business.

I know of no exceptions to this practice at any point in the history of Canada or of any other Commonwealth parliament. Scott Reid MP Lanark-FrontenacKingston

MANAGING YOUR MONEY November 27, 2017

Financial planning for the modern family It was once a given that spouses would retire at around the same time. Couples would then set off for months of travel or could at least spend more time together. Having two people retire at the same time also simplified financial planning – advisors could factor in two pensions, tax plan around the withdrawals of two RRSPs and more.

own. They’re also providing support and caregiving for James’ elderly parents and the couple will likely need to do the same for Rachel’s parents in the years to come.

Now, though, many people are marrying spouses who are much younger than them. One might be nearly ready for retirement while the other still has two decades to go. That can complicate a couple’s financial picture, says Jane Olshewski, Manager of Financial Planning Programs for Investors Group: “There are so many more things to consider. For instance, they’ll need help figuring out how much to save for their respective retirements. If they choose to stop working at the same time, they will need a considerable nest egg to fund the younger spouses’ golden years. If one spouse keeps working, the one who retires may not need to withdraw as much from their RRSP or RRIF.”

In addition to financial issues, age-diverse couples have decisions to make about life planning issues. “Should couples in this situation retire at the same time?” asks Olshewski. “A younger spouse may want to retire and spend some time with the older spouse and do all the things that couples enjoy in retirement while both are still healthy. But the younger spouse may feel they have more to accomplish in their career and aren’t ready for retirement at an earlier age.”

Children from previous marriages can also add complications. If you want to leave an inheritance to your children, you may need to do some more intensive estate planning to ensure you’re not disinheriting them by leaving your assets to your younger spouse. Those are just a couple of retirement planning dilemmas facing couples with significant age gaps -- and there are others. Calgary’s Rachel Johnson, 45 and James Matias, 66 have six children between them – three from Matias’ first marriage and three of their

As well, because Matias is so much older, Johnson may be required to provide support and care for an aging husband down the road.

“Each couple must look at their specific situation and decide on a life plan that works for them,” says Olshewski. “And be supported by a financial plan that will get them where they want to go – together.” Regardless of your age, your professional advisor can help make that happen – for you and your partner.

Learn how a couple’s love for Italy led to tour company startup Nov. 20 in Perth Following one’s heart can be a risky business. Fortunately, the instincts of Canadians Lisa Grassi-Blais and Jake Rupert led them joyfully to a world of spectacular mountains, fantastic beaches, verdant valleys, High Plains, and seemingly endless olive groves and vineyards. The couple will be in Perth on Nov. 20 to describe their transformation from careertrack professionals in Ottawa, to inn and tour company owners in central Italy. Family ties to the Abruzzo region of Italy were a strong factor in their decision to relocate. Lisa’s grandfather had immigrated to Canada in 1906 from the village of San Sebastiano and they’d been able to connect with numerous relatives during visits to the region. The Abruzzese people they met were invariably friendly, funloving and ready to be helpful and the region was stunningly beautiful. Lisa and Jake were tourists during their early trips to Italy, but over time the idea of immigrating and setting up a tourism business began to

take hold. Once they had the mindset of prospective property owners, the real work began — developing a startup budget, researching villas for sale, looking at tax implications, getting pension questions answered, examining immigration rules, and having their Ottawa house appraised. They had a budget of roughly $300,000 with which to establish a tour company based in a villa that would provide weeklong vacations to small groups of six to eight guests. The budget included any needed renovations, furniture, and vehicles. The couple eventually bought a rundown, partially renovated villa that “oozed Italian charm,” which they restored over five years to serve as inn and anchor for their tour company. Historic Villa D'Abruzzo has six bathrooms, a huge dining room, lots of outdoor space, an extra kitchen, and great views. The property is located on the outskirts of Torre de Passeri, a town in the heart of the Pescara Valley, 10 minutes from the moun-

tains, 30 minutes from the Adriatic Coast and 90 minutes east of Rome. Amazing Abruzzo Tours has now been in operation since April 2016, offering a range of services from simple bed and breakfast accommodations to weeklong, allinclusive packages that include all transportation, accommodation, meals, and day trips. Details and a sample tour can be found at http://www.amazingabruzzotours.com/options/. As we Canadians ease into winter, it’s hard not to be smitten by this tale of sundrenched adventure. Please join us on Monday, Nov. 20 at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion (26 Beckwith St. E., Perth, Ont. K7H 1B5), starting promptly at 7 p.m., to hear Lisa and Jake’s account of their bold move to Italy. The talk is free, presented by the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW).

Forgotten First World War battle memorialized in Mountain On Saturday my wife and I were among the large crowd that attended Remembrance Day ceremonies in Carleton Place, where we live. I have strong personal feelings about the importance of Nov. 11. I never miss the annual opportunity to pay respects to our veterans and especially those who gave their lives fighting for Canada. I was impressed by the size of the crowd. Weekends are sometimes more challenging in terms of attracting people because school classes, who usually attend in large numbers, are not represented on weekends. However it seems more and more families are focused on Remembrance Day now and that’s a very good thing. This is certainly not the first time I have expressed my opinion on this related subject. But this week I want to reiterate that I do not support the idea of making Remembrance Day a national holiday in Canada. The word “holiday” should not be attached to such a solemn occasion. I’m concerned that far too many people would suddenly view this very important day as simply another day off. I realize that my own strong interest in this subject – in the wars of the 20th century in particular – isn’t on most people’s radar. I would obviously like to see that change. To me the best way forward is to make the teaching of Canada’s important war history a compulsory subject in

our schools. That aside I will continue to do my small part by spotlighting certain battles and Canada’s part in them. We are now in the final year of the First World War Centennial. The war began July 28, 1914 and ended with the armistice on Nov. 11, 1918. That means Remembrance Day 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the armistice, which elevates the importance of that particular day. With respect to Canada’s involvement in the First World War, have you ever heard of the Battle of Hill 70? I think you can be forgiven if you haven’t. Until recently I was only somewhat familiar with the First World War battle which, on closer examination, was very important in Canada’s military history. The fighting which occurred 100 years ago this summer marked the first time the Canadian Corps was under the sole direction of a Canadian commander, Lieutenant General Arthur Currie, in a Canadian-planned mission. Like many Great War battles you need a topographic map to find exactly where Hill 70 is located. The number denotes the hill’s height above sea level. The location is on the edge of the city of Lens in northern France. From Aug. 15-25, 1917 it was the scene of bloody fighting between four divisions of the attacking Canadian Corps and five divisions of the

Reflections By Jeff maguire

German 6th Army. The Germans occupied the strategic hill and the town itself. Major casualties The Canadians were successful, not only in seizing the hill but also in defending it against not one, but 21, determined German counterattacks. The fighting cost Canadian troops nearly 9,000 casualties including 1,877 dead. The Germans suffered a staggering 25,000 casualties. Six Canadian soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross (the British Empire’s highest military award) for their actions on Hill 70. This battle happened after the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge in April 1917. Vimy and the bloody engagement at Passchendaele in Belgium (Third Battle of Ypres), which also occurred in 1917, overshadowed the significant fighting on Hill 70 the same year. Last week, in the lead-up to Remembrance Day, I found myself at

the only Canadian monument to the Battle of Hill 70. Until this year it was the only memorial in the world to the conflict. No, the monument isn’t in Ottawa (Canada’s capital) as you might expect. And it isn’t in one of our country’s three largest cities Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver either. Rather the memorial is located in a small community park in the hamlet of Mountain in southeastern Ontario. My brother Randy and his wife own and operate an orchard near Carp. A week ago Monday I accompanied my brother to an orchard in tiny Dundela in South Dundas Township where he had some business to do. Dundela is the birthplace of the famous McIntosh apple. On the way home I noticed signage pointing to the Hill 70 memorial which we dutifully followed. To our surprise we found an impressive tribute to those who fought and died during this often forgotten battle. The site has evolved over the years but planning for the park began in 1922 and a symbolic Hill 70 mound was officially dedicated 92 years ago this month, on Nov. 12, 1925. The site was expanded and reworked by the local Lions Club in 2012 with major financial assistance from the then Harper government. Over the course of a century

Mountain’s exact connection to the Battle of Hill 70 has been lost. It’s believed to be related to the fact that soldiers from Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry were killed or wounded during the fighting, something which had a major impact on Mountain and other surrounding communities. What is known is that for nearly 92 years the memorial in the community park was the only one of its kind anywhere. On April 8 this year, one day before the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and four months prior to the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial, then Governor General David Johnston presided at the unveiling of a new monument at the actual site of the fighting in northern France. Finally this major battle is receiving more recognition. Still, it’s the people of tiny Mountain, Ontario and the larger community of North Dundas Township who deserve the most credit. On Aug. 27, in their memorial park, the residents of the community held a ceremony to mark the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial. Over the course of a century they have ensured the sacrifice made by 8,677 Canadians who were killed, wounded or went missing during the fighting aren’t forgotten.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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!

Joyce Elaine Connerty

1930-2017 Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelso Clark of Smiths Falls welcomed their seventh baby on August 6, 1930. Overjoyed, they would name her “Joyce Elaine”. Joyce followed the births of Doreen, William, Arnold, Bert, Jack, and Howard, all born when the family lived in Reid’s Mills, Ontario. (Bert and Jack passed away in early childhood as a result of the pneumonia they developed after falling down the well, together.) Reid’s Mills was the Clark family homestead, where they lived at the farm known as Killarney. Her mother was the sole heir of the Reality business created by her Smiths Falls real estate developer father, Alexander Stephens. As a result of his death, the Clark families’ new home was built at 103 William Street West. Joyce was born into a home that had two working parents. Her Father, “J.K.”, would continue his profession by being a gentleman farmer while managing the crew that maintained the Reality Business. With help from a foster child Ivy, Doreen and “Bill” would actively participate in the care of Joyce in childhood. Doreen, sixteen years older, would take Joyce to visit J.K.’s sister, Aunt Millie, out West when Joyce was six to visit and tour Vancouver. Joyce would always love to shop through magazine ads and newspapers, Canadian and American catalogues, and even late in life, on the Internet. Even as a young child, she had a keen sense of creativity using colour and fashion to demonstrate her personality and a love of stores! Joyce would attend Smiths Falls public schools, but it was in Grade Nine, at the former Rideau High School, that she blossomed. Always a very attractive raven haired “beauty” - and she would object to that description all her life - she was popular among students. She dated a couple of classmates before developing her first long term relationship with fellow student Jim Dolan. The Clark family cottage, Hi Ho, was a much loved retreat from the business world the Clark family engaged in in Smiths Falls. She would also spend quality time in the Trinity United Church, where among other things she would advance her leadership skills in the Canadian Girls in Training (CGIT). Working part time jobs in sales and totally delighted by the work at the Gemmell’s family Greenhouse, Joyce would indulge (forever!) in decorating with PINK FLOWERS. Her love of swimming would take her to being the town’s first lifeguard. But perhaps by spending too much time in social activities, Joyce would repeat Grade Thirteen at a finishing school, the Ontario Ladies College at Whitby. Joyce would follow the excellent example her Aunt Olive Clark had set when she had graduated Queen’s University in 1906. (Doreen and Ivy we’re also exposed to post secondary education). Joyce wanted to follow her Aunt and Mother to the teachers’ college at the University of Toronto. Joyce actually had started the teaching profession by regularly lining up her dolls and providing to them the lessons she had learned from early childhood. She wanted to teach high school, which required a degree. Therefore Joyce earned her Bachelor of Arts degree 1953 in English and Spanish from Queen’s University. Not at her funeral, was her beloved husband William Carlyle Connerty, Queen’s Bachelor of Applied Science, 1954. “Big Bill” had passed on March 25, 1990. They had met at Queen’s, and Bill proposed on their first date in 1950. The ensuing romance would take in two of the famous Queen’s Science Formals! Joyce would graduate and with her Teaching Certificate, would accept her first teaching job at Fisher Park High School in Ottawa; Bill would manage his third generation agricultural business in Jasper, named after the founder, Wm. Connerty and Son. Joyce would board in Ottawa for a year and begin following the career of then Fisher Park student Paul Anka. Returning to Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, SFDCI, Joyce would teach the senior students English until her marriage to Bill, on June 29, 1957. At her wedding, ladies, wearing white, with pink Swiss Dot overlay, stood up for her. They included Maiden of Honour Eilene Gardner, lifelong friend Barb Hogg (Fraser), sister-in-law Willa Clark (Wood) and Arnold and Jean (Christie’s) daughters Jane and Elizabeth Clark. The couple went on a lovely two week Honeymoon trip to the Maritimes. They spent the rest of the summer months with Bill’s Mother, Jasper business woman Mable Connerty, at the family cottage at the Upper Rideau Ferry. Bill and Joyce would occupy the two story boathouse, a tradition that includes children and grandchildren to this day. Their life long romance continued with love of water, cottage and boats and all of this was more than installed in the future generations. Joyce and Bill would start their family the following April, with the birth of Tricia. Within the next year, they would anticipate the birth of Sue, in January 1960, by building their growing family’s home on Frost St., in Smiths Falls. Beautifully decorated, their home was filled with love, pets and fun! After the fire at the Connerty family’s Jasper Purina Mill in 1961 the young family would rally around their Dad as he built a new business in Fiber Glass tanks, Industrial Moulders. Joyce would return to teaching English at SFDCI, in 1962. “Little Bill” was born in 1963, followed by Betsy in 1965, with Joyce returning to teaching each time after a maternity leave. (This was all accomplished by her very competent management of the household alongside housekeeper Lydia Cline.) Significantly, Joyce would twice overcome disability leaves for the care of mental illness, while teaching with grace and matter of fact honesty. With the death of her Mom in 1972, Joyce would manage her share of the Clark family’s business and name her company Stephen’s Reality. With two family businesses in the household, teaching and lots of kids’ activities to manage, Joyce was busy until her retirement from the Lanark County Board of Education in 1985. Joyce had opted for early retirement to be able to work alongside her husband as Industrial Moulders and Stephen’s Reality morphed into Zontec Ltd. Zontec was a cutting edge ozone company dealing with the treatment of air and water with ozone technology. Retirement also brought the marriages of their children, Bill to Lynda Condie, and Betsy to Chris Simpson, in 1989. Unfortunately Big Bill’s life did not extend to the birth of Grandchildren. But Joyce excelled in her role as “Mom Mom” to Kenzie, Keisha and Teagan Simpson and Charlie and Harry Connerty. She was always more than willing to accommodate any request of her growing family, be it babysitting or that special Christmas toy. Her own children would all pursue Professional Post Education Programs and engage in challenging careers. Not surprising, her five Grandchildren are all in the process of gaining a Professional Post Education degree. Joyce passed away as she wanted: at home, with family, and not before she was ready. Just two days before her death she had informed her family that she was tired and ready to go to heaven. God was ready for her the morning of July 21, 2017. Joyce was waked at Blair and Son Funeral Home and interred at Wolford Cemetery in Easton’s Corners, at the family plot, alongside her husband and his family. Her Grandchildren carried the casket. Honourary Pallbearers included former students Hugh Colton and Brian Conlin, and family friends Billy Andress, Stirling Condie, Bob McCreary, and Jim Rowat. United Church Minister Christine Lowson kindly conducted a touching service, which included fond farewell speeches by Lynda Connerty, Leslie Row, Bill Connerty, Betsy Simpson and Rev. Doug Ross. A reception for family and friends followed back at Blair and Son Reception Centre. Joyce’s wish for pink flowers at her wake and charitable donations to her family’s challenges with Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Arthritis, had been generously supported by the many whom had remembered her. She had passed days short of her 87th birthday and is terribly missed by her family. Mom Mom was always a LADY.

WILSON, Helen

May 11, 1926 - November 9, 2017 Unexpectedly, the evening of November 9th, after a long battle with many health issues, our dear sweet mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend Helen Wilson passed away. She lived to a ripe old age of 91, but the fullness of her life does not lessen the emotional blow upon those of us who she has left behind - we love her dearly and miss her already. One of the few comforts that we draw at this time is that she did not pass away alone, or in a hospital, but at home with those who loved her. The day of her passing was the day before her wedding anniversary and we are confident that she is now spending her anniversary with her beloved Burt Wilson. Her living loved ones include: son Duane Wilson, daughter-in-law Millie Wilson, daughter Marjorie Wilson, son Jim Wilson, daughter-inlaw Ruthann Wilson, daughter Catherine Wilson, son-in-law Terry Swaine, son Rob Wilson, brother Hugh Baxter, sister-in-law Grace Baxter, brother Maxwell (Max) Baxter, many many grandchildren, many greatgrandchildren, great great-grandchildren and countless friends that she considered loved ones. Her loved ones that have gone before her include: the late Melvin Baxter (brother), the late Henry & Maxine Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Ownie & Bubbles Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Florence and Lloyd Baxter (sister & brother-in-law), the late Steve Orr (son-in-law), and the late Claudette Wilson (daughter-in-law). Helen was the daughter of Annie and Thomas Baxter of Tehkummah, Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She was an exceptional woman with a heart for her family, a dignity and grace that is rare, and the strength, wisdom, fortitude, kindness and caring of a true Matriarch. Friends may join the family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior (613-623-5194) on Tuesday evening, November 14th from 6 to 7:45 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted in the Pilon Family Chapel on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock.

MCPARLAND, Thomas. E In loving memory of a dear Father, Grandfather who passed away 1 year ago November 15, 2016. This month comes back with sad regret, it brings back a day we won’t forget. 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. You left us quietly, your thoughts unknown, with treasured memories we’re proud to own. Life on the farm has changed for us as you know, but we will keep the legacy of your love alive and grow. Always loved Lyle, Carrie, Thomas, Dyllan and Owen

Lynn Vardy, who established 100 Women Who Care Lanark County alongside Jeannie Mongrain, explained to the Canadian Gazette, “The group will meet four times a year, and every time 100 women will donate $100 each to a local charity or nonprofit.” The two ladies were immediately drawn to the idea after hearing about 100 Women Who Care during Christmas 2016. “A little bit of wine later ... here we are,” Vardy said with a laugh. Vardy is a sales representative with Royal LePage Team Realty and Mongrain is a mortgage broker with Dominion Lending Centres. Both women have a history of being community minded. Currently, 100 Women Who Care Lanark County boasts just over 30 members; however, upon reaching its goal of 100 associates, donations will total $10,000 per meeting, which has a huge local impact. How does it work? Three randomly drawn charities or non-profits are asked to present for five minutes each at every meeting. Members are then asked to vote on the organization they

The Lanark County chapter of 100 Women Who Care held its first official meeting on Sept. 18 at the Army Navy Airforce Club in Carleton Place.

The charity or nonprofit with the most votes receives the money at the end of the gathering, with tax receipts issued to members by the organization receiving the funds. “Members who cannot make a meeting are still required to honour their donation commitment,” Vardy said. Every 100 Women Who Care Lanark County member can nominate the charity or non-profit of her choice at the beginning of each meeting, in the hopes it will be selected for the following get-together. In order to be considered, the charity or non-profit must be located in Lanark County. Too, it must be eligible to provide tax receipts for donations.

“Startups will not be considered,” Mongrain said, and “the charity or non-profit must be at least a year old.” Any organization selected for the group donation may not be considered again within a three-year period. During the first 100 Women Who Care Lanark County meeting, the ladies selected from Lanark County Interval House (LCIH), Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP). In the end, LAWS received a total of $2,000 from the 20 members in attendance. Another $300 was handed over a week later from the members who were not able to attend on Nov. 18. Vardy stressed donations do not go

Presentations LAWS president Kathy Hoyland was up first on Nov. 18, educating members about the Smiths Falls shelter for abused, abandoned and lost animals. Incorporated in 1986 and a registered charity, LAWS is one of two no-kill shelters in Ontario. The shelter has been in the same building on Glenview Road for 31 years. “We do not euthanize animals if they have been at the shelter for a very long time – or if they are old,” Hoyland explained. “Euthanasia is only considered when an animal is ill or aggressive ... if their quality of life is impacted.” Animals entering the shelter are cared for and receive veterinary care, and they get a lot of love and attention from staff and volunteers. “LAWS gets no government funding,” Hoyland stressed. “We rely on private donations and fundraising.”

Mayor seeks clarification on HVAC bids by TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

Carleton Place will proceed with A-L Air for the installation of the new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at Carambeck Community Centre. Council members carried a motion during the physical environment committee meeting on Nov. 7 to issue a purchase order for the price of $181,945 plus HST. The upgrade of the HVAC system is the result of a grant from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program the town received. Three quotes were obtained by the town for the work (purchase and installation): Carleton Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning Ltd., $198,650 plus HST; A-L Air; and CorCann, $236,000 plus HST. Carleton Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning Ltd. is based in Carleton Place, A-L Air is located in Ottawa and Corcann HVAC Inc. calls Almonte home. Coun. Ross Trimble inquired if A-L Air has done work previously for the town. Too, he asked about a reference check. “They have not worked for the town, but they are a well-known firm in Ottawa,” chief administrative officer Paul Knowles answered. Mayor Louis Antonakos had two

“If it was a design build, who evaluated the proposals?” the mayor inquired. “Walter (Walter Renwick),” Knowles said. In March 2017, Renwick was appointed as project manager to oversee a handful of town projects in 2017, inSee HVAC page A/CP9

The Jolly Old Elf himself, Santa Claus, will be making appearances at the upcoming parades and events in his honour in Carleton Place, Almonte and Pakenham. He will first greet good little girls and boys at the Downtown Carleton Place Santa Claus Parade, set for Saturday, Nov. 25 at 5 p.m. This year’s edition celebrates Canada’s 150th birthday and entries must use that theme when creating their floats. “Let’s welcome Santa and Mrs. Claus with all things Canadian,” said Downtown Car-

Think red and white candles dancing. Let’s celebrate and paint the town red and white!” The parade route begins on Bridge Street and makes its way through downtown to Lansdowne Avenue. Bridge Street will be closed at 4 p.m. on Nov. 25 to accommodate parade crowds. Food donations for The Hunger Stop – Lanark County Food Bank will also be taken along the parade route.

needed. “We tried to sell the current place, but there were no takers,” the president noted. “Therefore, we made the decision to do a really big, massive renovation.” “We are hoping to tear down the cat area and rebuild so it is energy efficient and environmentally friendly, and the water does not freeze in the cat rooms

or the pipes do not burst in the middle of winter,” Hoyland stated. “Our heating bills are astronomical!” Adopting a pet is a major decision and LAWS is there to help people make the best match. All animals adopted through LAWS are spayed or neutered, have a microchip implant, receive vaccinations and deworming and flea treatment. LCIH public education co-ordinator Brianne Luckasavitch noted her agency supports women and children impacted by violence. “We believe women and their children have a right to live with dignity, without the threat of abuse,” she said. “When that right is denied or interfered with we provide protection and support.” Getting personal, Luckasavitch painted the following scenario: “This morning I woke up, got out of bed, poured myself a coffee, took a shower, woke up my daughter ... not once during this time was I afraid of getting hurt, hit or swore at, nor was I afraid for my daughter’s safety ... ” In 2016, 2,018 women called LCIH’s crisis line afraid, and the 456 women and children who accessed the agency’s outreach services were afraid. “The 93 kids who were visited at school by our child outreach councillor were scared,” Luckasavitch said. “The 127 women and children who lived at the shelter last year knew first hand what it was like to be afraid ... afraid of someone who is supposed to love and protect you.” Violence against women and children is happening in this community. “It is a not a fun topic to talk or think about,” Luckasavitch noted, and “unless it is in your world in some capacity it can be hard to relate to.” Women of all races, ages, abilities and economic status are equally vulnerable to violence. LCIH has existed for 38 years as a 15-bed emergency first stage shelter, located in Carleton Place. Recently, with the corporate support of Tiree, a management consulting and professional services company, LCIH has secured a second stage housing location. “We all have a say in this ... we have the power to end violence,” Luckasavitch said. “To help: attend a fundraiser, volunteer at the shelter, donate to the cause or support women in your community.” Unable to send anyone on Sept. 18, Mongrain presented on behalf of

LCTRP, a division of Lanark Community Programs – a part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services. “Therapeutic riding is a unique and holistic approach to therapy, rehabilitation and recreation. The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program provides a safe environment introducing disabled children and adults to the benefits and joys of the healing powers of the horse,” she explained. “The team at LCTRP consists of instructors who are certified through the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association, enthusiastic volunteers who offer their expertise and caring and, of course, wonderful horses.” “LCTRP does not receive any ongoing government funding,” Mongrain said. “It is supported mostly by fundraising events and activities.” The year 2017 marks 32 years of offering riding as therapy for more than 148 riders with physical and/or developmental disabilities from all over the Ottawa Valley. LCTRP “appreciates all donations and will gladly give tax receipts for donations of $20 or more,” Mongrain stated. In 2015, the organization began discussing the creation of a recreational program serving the Canadian Armed Forces. “A pilot project resulted for ill or injured members, active or retired, to enjoy exercise and the benefits of working with horses,” Mongrain explained. “It is called Soldier Ride.” The riders involved with LCTRP range in age from three to 60-plus years. They have a wide range of both physical and developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Down syndrome, stroke, spinal cord injury, amputees, brain damage, learning disabilities, blindness and hearing loss, autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Upcoming dates The next 100 Women Who Care Lanark County meetings are as follows: Nov. 27, Feb. 12, 2018, May 28, 2018, Sept. 17, 2018 and Nov. 26, 2018. Overall, the gatherings are a forum for funding and a way to better educate Lanark County on local charities and non-profits.

Harris indicated the library’s collection will be increasing as well, as they had to cut down the numbers to move into the school’s smaller space. “In this new space, we will add to the collection in response to community input and demand,” she commented. “We also anticipate more circulation since we’re much more front and centre now and I expect we’ll have more patrons as people stop in and see the branch.” Many positive comments have already been made by the community and one story made it all worth it for Harris.

ENERGY TIP! Take showers. A bath consumes about five times the hot water. And buy a low-flow showerhead. It will pay for itself in no time.

“The first day we opened, a little boy came in and he had been watching the project unfold all year. He stopped at the foot of the stairs, looked up and just said, ‘Wow!’ Then he ran up the stairs, plunked himself into a chair and said, ‘Wow, this is better than home!’” she said. “I think that’s how a lot of being are going to respond.” Library staff moved out of the branch in October 2016 and into the branch’s temporary location in Pakenham Public School. The project broke ground in April and staff made the move back into the space in October, with the branch open for business on Nov. 7. “We had about two weeks to prepare and unpack. Our staff and volunteers worked so hard to get everything ready,” Harris remarked. “There are lots of decisions when putting together a branch and we had an amazing team that was very hardworking,” she added. The Pakenham branch is located at 128 MacFarlane Street. With renovations come amended hours and the library is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 8 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Mistakes don’t define you I do not think journalists should get overly obsessed with making a spelling mistake or typo once in a while. After all, do they dictate what makes our writing good or bad? A headline for a story in the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 12 contained a typo. Longtime Carleton Place and area volunteer and well-known author and columnist, Mary Cook, received an Outstanding Service Award on Oct. 5, recognizing her 62 years with the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper chapter. In the headline, she was mistakenly referred to as ‘Mark Cook.’ I have spent many years in journalism, and there I was misspelling a name I had spelled correctly dozens of times before. The following week, the Canadian Gazette ran a photo of Cook and explained the error. We sincerely apologized, deeply regretting any inconvenience it might have caused. On Oct. 13, the day after the typo appeared, I received an email from a local man who shall remain nameless. It read: “When I opened the paper today I was ashamed of the Canadian Gazette to misspell Mary Cook’s name. She has been a pioneer for the Gazette for numerous years with her weekly column. The editor of this paper should also be questioned on their ability to ‘edit’ the paper before publication. An apology to Mary should be granted.” It did bother me a little bit, only because it was Cook, a lovely woman. She is someone I admire. On Oct. 25, I went to Cook’s home on Dufferin Street in Carleton Place to interview her about her latest book, The Best Job in the World. This is the author’s 12th work, a collection of her reflections – on topics ranging from Valley People to Remembering When and Modern Life to Home, Sweet Home. For many years, Cook authored a column for eight newspapers serving eastern Ontario, and 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 told me. One-hundred and ninety-nine of these columns are in Cook’s new book. I knew at some point during our interview I would need to address the headline typo. When the timing was

TARA GESNER Tara Firma right I went for it. “I need to apologize to you for the little story we did in the paper about you finally getting your award from the Waterside,” I said. “It was an innocent typo ... we had ‘Mark Cook’ in the headline.” “I have had the most fun out of that,” Cook said with a laugh. “It did not bother me a bit.” She added: “I had so many people comment on it, and someone told me they heard I had a sex change. ‘Yes,’ I said.” I told Cook about the email I received. “Is that not a hoot,” she said with a smile. “It was not intentional ... believe me, I have had worse things happen to me in the newspaper in my lifetime.” Cook continued: “In fact, I got a lot of publicity about it: emails, phone calls and people stopping me on the street, which is funny.” “(My husband) Wally and I laughed our heads off,” she added. “Things like this do not bother me... I have had worse typos.” 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 advised. One of her favourite stories in the book 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.” Sitting in Cook’s office on Oct. 25, I was delighted to receive a private reading of another much-loved story in the book – Housework and Sex. Yes, that is the title! Owing to a 48-year career at CBC, Cook has earned seven ACTRA awards for excellence in broadcast journalism. Who knows, my little faux pas might make it into an upcoming Cook book.

We will remember them Every year on Nov. 11 Canadians attach importance to the bravery and sacrifice of those who served their country during times of war, military conflict and peace. This year hundreds of Carleton Place residents attended the Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph in Memorial Park, above. 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 town. Below: Members of the Carleton Place Atom C Kings prepare to lay a wreath, paying their respects. Their coach is Kyle McKittrick and he is related to J. McKittrick listed on the cenotaph.

cluding the new McNeely Avenue fence and Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) addition. “Two local companies bid ... did the evaluator go strictly on price or did he consider a number of factors?” Antonakos asked. “If it is strictly on price, we could be getting a lower price, but it may not be the type of work we want.” “What was the criteria for evaluating these three proposals? the mayor inquired. “If it was a project designed by an engineer and these three bid on the same item, same concept, same design ... fine,” Antonakos continued. “I am not a mechanical engineer and I have not seen the three proposals.” The mayor has continuously stressed to developers in Carleton Place, when local trades are used in local projects, the community becomes stronger. Antonakos wanted an explanation on why the evaluator chose the lowest bid ... are we getting a lesser design, something less complicated?” “I cannot answer that,” Knowles said.

“I have some concerns with this,” Antonakos said. “The difference between the Carleton Place firm and A-L Air is not significant ... what are the nuances ... I want more information.” The mayor stressed he absolutely supports the upgrading of the infrastructure at the community centre ... “I will support it regardless of the direction we take.” Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn noted: “Of course, I would like to see someone from Carleton Place do it, but on the other hand ...” Knowles interjected, all bidders brought an engineer out to Carambeck Community Centre to look at it. “Then they would have gotten professional advice before submitting their quotes,” Coun. Brian Doucett stated. “I am fine with it.” Coun. Theresa Fritz, council’s ambassador on the childcare services committee, noted: “We had a meeting last night ... the board wanted me to articulate that this is a welcome project for the staff that work there as well as the families of the children.” “This past summer was particularly challenging,” she

continued. “It was extremely hot, and then last winter it was extremely cold because of the state of the system.” “This is something everyone will benefit from – staff, patrons and families alike,” Fritz added. “Significant upgrades to the building’s electrical system are required to provide enough power to operate the new HVAC system, due to the addition of air conditioning to the building,” Knowles noted. As a result, on Nov. 7, council members also approved the engagement of J A Patterson Electric of Carleton Place Ltd. to upgrade the electrical service in the building. The estimated cost: $70,000 plus HST. This price includes “Hydro One costs and a generator to power the building while the new electrical service is being installed, as well as Patterson’s cost to install the electrical panel,” Knowles advised. The budget for this work (HVAC and electrical) is $300,000. “This falls within our budget,” Knowles said. He added, owing to the terms of the grant, the project must be completed by 2018.

The London, Ont., native has a masters in public administration from the University of Western Ontario and a bachelors in political science from Brock University. In addition to Carleton Place, Ralph previously worked with St. Marys. Upon leaving Carleton Place, Ralph told the Canadian Gazette, “I very much enjoyed my time ... I will miss all the people I worked with ... I think I made a positive contribution to the town, and I am looking forward to doing the same in Montague.” When she is not working, Ralph enjoys cycling and gardening.

PARADES

Almonte for one of the largest and most magical outdoor Christmas shows in Canada,” notes the Light up the Night website. As is tradition, Mill Street will be closed to vehicular traffic so crowds can descend on Almonte for the annual festive celebration. Joining Rostad this year will be country recording artist Kelli Trottier, Ottawa Valley singer/songwriter Neville Wells, local musician Johnny Spinks, the Cedarhill Sunday School Choir, singer/songwriter and comedian Dai Bassett, as well as the Christmas in the Valley singers (Dave Poulin, Robin Moir and Braiden Turner) and Mrs. Claus and Rudolph. Of course, no Light up the Night is complete without an appearance by the Almonte Academy of Dance’s Snow Queen and Twinkle Fairies, who will wave their magic wands to

reveal Santa. The evening concludes with a fireworks display over Mill Street. For more information on this year’s concert, visit l i g h t u p t h e n i g h t a l m o n t e. com. Pakenham The magic of the holiday season continues Saturday, Dec. 2 with the village of Pakenham’s annual Santa Claus Parade at 1 p.m. The theme for both the Pakenham and Almonte parade is ‘A Canadian Christmas Past and Present.’ The parade will get into formation at the Stewart Community Centre and then wind its way through downtown. Along the route, the Pakenham Civitan Club will be accepting cash and food donations to support The Hunger Stop – Lanark County Food Bank. The party doesn’t stop after the parade. Visitors are

invited to the community centre for free public skating and a chance to meet Santa. Almonte Santa will spend a restful evening at one of the local bed & breakfasts to gear up for the Almonte Santa Claus Parade Sunday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. The parade assembles at the Almonte Community Centre, making its way up Bridge Street and turning left onto Mill Street before travelling around town. During the parade, the local Scouts will be collecting non-perishable food items. Visitors are invited back to the community centre for hotdogs, hot chocolate and public skating.

Carleton Place Canoe Club must apply for funding through town program by Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

The Carleton Place Canoe Club (CPCC), located on the shores of the majestic Mississippi River, has been in existence since 1893. “It is the oldest flatwater racing canoe club in Canada,” Coun. Theresa Fritz noted during the physical environment committee on Nov. 7. With the year 2018 being the 125th anniversary of the CPCC, among the initiatives planned to mark the occasion is a fundraiser to purchase a new war canoe. The estimated cost: $28,000. The town is being asked by the CPCC to kick off the fundraising campaign with a donation. In a report to the committee, chief administrative officer (CAO) Paul Knowles noted, “The canoe club would be very pleased and proud to put the name Carleton Place and the town logo on the boat in exchange for this contribution.” However, in recent weeks, the town has received a num-

ber of funding requests from groups, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, Lanark County Interval House, Municipal Drug Strategy Committee of Lanark County and Smiths Falls. “There are many worthwhile organizations and causes that would benefit from a contribution,” Knowles noted. He added, “The town should give careful consideration while distributing taxpayer’s funds to these worthwhile organizations as some taxpayer’s may have different priorities that they would choose to support.” A few years ago, the town created the community enrichment program (CEP) to properly administer requests for funding. The CEP has an annual budget established by council. Priorities for funding by way of the CEP include the following: arts, culture and heritage projects or events; community events, festivals and programs; and special events. “Each request for funding needs to be considered on its merits,” Knowles stressed.

He recommended, “All requests for town funding be directed to the community enrichment program and not be considered individually by council.” “Paul ... are there any opportunities for grants the canoe club could pursue for something like this ... sporting grants?” Fritz asked. “I have not spoken to them, but I assume they are,” the CAO answered. In attendance at the gathering was the municipality’s recreation and culture manager, Joanne Henderson. “I am not aware they are investigating grants,” she said. “However, there could be Ontario Trillium and RBC grants ... lots of different opportunities.” Mayor Louis Antonakos called the CPCC a great organization to support. He noted, the model the town has for distributing funds works well, and “over time staff has brought forth ideas to make it flow better.”

Canadians bounce back from shootout loss with win over Kanata After Friday’s shootout loss to the Nepean Raiders, the Carleton Place Canadians responded with a 7-2 win against the Kanata Lasers on Sunday, Nov. 12. Carleton Place got a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Canadians coach Jason Clarke said he wasn’t pleased with the way his team played in that period. The Canadians answered their coach’s critics and took control of the game with another four unanswered goals to jump out to a 6-0 lead in the first half of the game. “We got off to a bit of a slow start,” said Clarke. “The first period, I know we were up 2-0, but we didn’t play with a lot of urgency, we didn’t play to our standard and it was good to see the guys come out in the second and third period and absolutely dominate.” Zach Tupker and Sam Knoblauch scored in the first period but, after the game, the players admitted the first period wasn’t their strongest performance – especially after Friday’s loss to the Nepean Raiders. “The game we played on Friday wasn’t the greatest and I thought the guys would come out a little stronger,” said assistant captain Tim Theocharidis, “but as the game went on we got stronger, faster, moving our feet and being physical.”

“First period, we were a little not polished with the puck really,” added Justin Cmunt. “We did get lucky getting two goals, but that’s not how we wanted to play that game.” The meeting in the locker room during the first intermission seemed to light a fire under the Canadians. Tupker scored his second goal of the game 0:20 into the second period and the Canadians kept rolling after that goal. Travis Broughman scored 1:24 later and then Sam Allison made it 5-0 less than five minutes later to mark the end of Logan Bateman’s night in the Kanata crease. Gabriel Carriere replaced Bateman and, two minutes into his time in net, Geoff Kitt slipped the puck through the goaltender’s legs for a 6-0 lead. Kanata scored a pair of goals before the end of the second period with Luca Nocita following a bouncing puck in the slot and knocking it past Jeremie Forget for a power play goal. Connor Rider took advantage of a turnover in the Canadians end and beat Forget with a quick shot to make it a 6-2 game heading to the third period. “It was just a couple of mental errors that we made and they cost us,” Theocharidis said. “It was our fault

and those are parts of the game we’ve got to fix.” Cmunt added a goal in the third period to wrap up a four-point night where he scored a goal and added three assists. “I’ve been kind of pressing lately but it feels good and it’s good to set guys up and have them bury for you,” Cmunt said. “But it just matters about the win and the way we played (because) it attributes to everyone else. Yeah, I got the points, but every guy is making plays on other shifts to set that up and give us time and space to make things happen.” The two teams are set to face off against each other again on Saturday, and it could be a feisty game because of the score and some words that were exchanged between the two benches near the end of the game, according to Clarke. “They’re probably going to be a little angry because we took it to them pretty good, winning 7-2, and there were a few choice words from their bench to ours at the end of the game,” Clarke added. “It’s hockey, no team likes being embarrassed 7-2 so we’ll just have to act appropriately, play hard and continue to play the way we play.” Before Saturday’s meeting with

the Lasers, the Canadians are on the road against the Cornwall Colts on Thursday, Nov. 16. Saturday, Nov. 18’s game against Kanata is a road game for Carleton Place but will be played in Renfrew at the Ma-te-way

Centre. The Canadians then return to the Carleton Place Arena on Sunday, Nov. 19 when they host the Rockland Nationals. Submitted by Justin Vazzoler, Carleton Place Canadians

“My hospital… has been there to care for me when I have needed it most most, but it also works throughout the year to help care for everyone in our community.”

These sentiments are exactly why it was important for the CPDMH Foundation to involve the community and its youth to help raise awareness for the important equipment needed at the hospital. This year’s first annual Student Art Contest was open to all students enrolled in the nine secondary schools serving the hospital’s catchment area (from Carleton Place to Ottawa West) who are between 12 – 17 years of age. We are thrilled and honoured to showcase our contest winner, Brooklyn Kentfield, whose art is featured on the cover of this very important card! Brooklyn is a 13 year old, Notre Dame Catholic High School student who has a wonderful imagination and artistic talent:. Giving back to her community is

important to Brooklyn and being able to do it using her artistic passion made it truly special. Her parents had told her that the hospital needs to rely on the generosity of donors, but what she didn’t know is that the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care provides funds for programs and services, but that it is thanks to donors in our community for providing the funds needed for all the patient care equipment used in the hospital. Brooklyn is excited to have been able to bring her “vision to life” and to use it to help raise awareness for something very important to her during this special holiday season. We hope that she will inspire you to think of your local hospital this holiday season! Congratulations as well to our runner-up, Sierra Stewart, also from Notre Dame Catholic High School. For more about Brooklyn, the Student Art Contest or how you can join us as one of our donors, please visit www.cpdmhfoundation.ca or call us today!

Carleton Place treasurer to present proposed 2018 budget to public Nov. 21 by TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

Carleton Place council got its first look at the 2018 draft municipal budget on Oct. 24, during the policy review committee meeting. The document has two components: operating and capital budgets. The operating section covers the costs of maintaining services such as snow removal,

road maintenance, garbage collection and police and fire. The capital portion represents the funds set aside by the town to upgrade, replace, expand or create infrastructure. At first glance, the draft budget called for a 5.29 per cent increase in property taxes – on the municipal portion only. Property tax bills also include levies for Lanark County and education. The municipal share

Aileen notes that there are a lot of misconceptions about the flu shot and it can be confusing. She stresses that you can’t get the flu from the flu shot. While some people may get a slight temperature or a sore arm, the vaccine does not contain a live virus. Experiencing the mild side effects of the flu shot is nothing compared to getting the actual flu.

“The more people who get the shot, the more we can protect those in our community that cannot get vaccinated ,” she says. “Spreading the flu to people with compromised immune systems, the frail elderly or very young children could lead to severe illness and complications, even resulting in death.” People that can’t get the flu shot include those with severe allergies to the vaccine components and babies under 6 months. Anyone with a fever should wait until you are better.

“As organizations committed to safe, high quality care, protecting our patients and residents from the flu is vitally important. And we also want to protect each other, our families and our friends,” notes Aileen Puckett, Infection Prevention & Control Officer for both CPDMH and AGH. “Getting the flu can be very serious.”

Aileen says one of the most important messages regarding the flu shot centres around what is called ‘herd immunity’.

makes up about 50 per cent of the bill. Budget talks continued during the physical environment committee meeting on Nov. 7. “We made some additional changes, which now brings the second draft of the budget to a 1.97 per cent requirement,” treasurer Phil Hogan stated. “I spoke to staff and managers about some of these changes I made, which basically got us to where we are tonight,” he added. Mayor Louis Antonakos hoped council members could sharpen their pencils a little bit more. “I am satisfied with the numbers here,” Coun. Brian Doucett said. “We accomplished want we wanted to accomplish for 2018.” “We have a number of projects on the go,” he continued. “The number here is quite acceptable.” Coun. Doug Black praised Hogan and other staff for their work on the budget. Hogan will present the town’s proposed 2018 budget to the public during the meeting on Nov. 21.

FUNDING

From page A/CP15

The mayor’s only suggestion was “to put aside a very small amount of funds those who come in after the deadline ... for late fall.” Currently, during the calendar year, applications for the CEP’s first intake must be received by the end of February. Should there be funding available after this first intake, a second intake occurs until the end of August. “After we do the second intake, applications will be reviewed monthly, depending on financial availability,” Henderson explained. Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn asked council members to look at the significance of the CPCC. “It is the oldest one in North America, and we are known worldwide,” he said. “We have sent many paddlers to the Olympics, and the (always full) programs run by the canoe club are keeping our kids off the streets during the summer.” Flynn was a member of the CPCC as a child, and he is a huge supporter of the organization. “I was hoping we could kick this fundraiser off with something more significant than $1,500.” “Fair comment,” Coun. Doug Black stated, and “the timing is accurate” as council is in the midst of budget discussions for next year. Coun. Sean Redmond asked, “Is this something we could find some extra dollars for in the town’s promotional budget?” Knowles called every request “important and very worthwhile.” He agreed the CPCC stands out; however, “what is the one that will stand out next month?” Antonakos was confident that staff understood the importance and significance of the CPCC, and he seconded a motion by Coun. Brian Doucett for all requests for funding be directed to the CEP and not be considered individually. “It is not just a confidence thing ... the canoe club stands alone in a category,” Flynn noted. He asked treasurer Phil Hogan for

the balance of council’s promotion budget. Although Hogan was unsure of the exact amount, “historically there are monies left at year end.” Henderson noted the canoe club had not applied for a CEP in 2017. “It is still available to them,” she said. “My recommendation would be for them to apply.” In addition, the CPCC could apply for CEP monies in 2018. “Potentially, there is $3,000,” Redmond noted. “We can contribute, we should contribute,” Fritz stressed. “However, we have a policy we need to follow.” “If we want, once Phil has a better idea, we can re-visit any leftover money from council’s promotion budget,” she added. Resident Mark Smith referred to the CPCC as a tourist attraction and a point of pride for residents. “The club manages a large amount of youngsters during the summer months, and many residents have honed their canoeing skills there,” he added. Too, “if everyone remembers, Canada opened with canoes.” Smith wondered why council members would not directly support “this celebration of our town’s heritage.” The resident also raised the following point: On Sept. 5, the physical environment committee carried a motion to reallocate the balance of the town’s mural fund – $12,500 – to get the Roy Brown statue project off the ground. “Why did council members donate to the Roy Brown Society statue to the sum of $12,500 and not send that request to the community enrichment program?” Smith asked. “I did not support that motion,” Antonakos pointed out. However, he noted the monies were allocated funds (mural project). “I think there is a fair argument ... should the money have stayed for murals,” the mayor continued. However, “council members made a decision ... I appreciate your point, Mark.” Black chaired the gathering.
