MUNICIPAL ELECTION
NEW COUNCIL SIGN OF CHANGE Continued from page 1 505 votes. Voter turnout was registered at 59.7 per cent. "I'm absolutely humbled by the support, the overwhelming support of the community. I have campaigned on the message of wanting to build bridges, wanting to heal some of the divisions and clearly that was the message that resonated with people," Lowry said moments after watching the results come in at Almonte Old Town Hall Oct. 22. "I look forward to working on that action. That will be our first course of business. She congratulated every candidate in the elec-
tion race on running their campaigns "with heart," and while honoured to be the first female mayor of the municipality, she just wants to get to work. "I've never been motivated by pink quotas," Lowry remarked. "I certainly am motivated by giving opportunity for women to get involved in politics at all levels and we do see more and more women in the municipal level of politics. My motivation though is to hit the ground running and work on those goals and on the pieces that were my message to the community that obviously resonated with them." It's been a long sixmonth campaign for Low-
coming out and cheering me on. I would really thank the wider community as well for that support." Knocking on doors and attending meet and greet functions has given Lowry an opportunity to have honest conversations with voters, "which I appreciate because it is a time of change and a time of us needing to come back together again and work as a community instead of a fractured community." The first order of business for Lowry is to sit down and hash out the priorities of the new council. "As mayor, the very first thing I want to do is sit down and speak to each of the new council members and really have an understanding of what their goals are and what their priorities are," she said.
ry, who said she shares the victory her family and campaign manager, Judith Marsh. "(Judith) has walked every single step of the way with me. She's very articulate, very bright, very organized, she's just given tremendous, tremendous support," she stated. "Throughout the last six months I've had a team of 50+ helping me with everything from putting in signs to communication to calling people right up to an hour ago making sure they came out to vote. And there's been cheerleaders along the way. You always have bumps along the way for a campaign like this and I've had lots of people

"Then together, we need to come down and create an action plan and decide what are our priorities going to be in the short and the longer term for this term of council." A familiar face returns to the council table as deputy mayor, former councillor and mayor John Levi. Levi commanded 2,985 votes over current Almonte Ward councillor Jane Torrance and newcomers David Hinks (778), Mario Coculuzzi (249) and Dieter King (54), who pulled out of the deputy mayor race early on. Levi said he's looking forward to returning to council and sitting on Lanark County council as one of Mississippi Mills' representatives. His hope is to eliminate the friction between council and the community.
"I want to get away from litigation and legal battles over things such as Don Maynard Park," he explained. "It's at the OMB right now and I hope we can cancel that with agreement from the rest of council." "I'm looking forward to a very co-operative council and I welcome people to keep our feet to the fire," Levi added. "Let's get back to the friendly town." He also wants to see a complete review of the Community Official Plan with more input opportunities for residents and the possibility of adding a question period section at council meetings. "I've served the people for 35 years in the store (Levi Home Hardware) and I think more of our council See VOTER, page 12

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Residents of Carleton Place voted for change in their council on Monday night, Oct. 22. Current Coun. Doug Black is the town's mayorelect, knocking out incumbent Louis Antonakos by 2,578 votes to 635, in one of Lanark County's most closely watched races. Ralph Lee came in second in the mayoral race, receiving 1,002 votes, with Roland Wutherich earning 44 votes. Speaking to the Canadian Gazette from the town hall auditorium following the results, Black said: "I am thrilled. I am humbled. My heart is smiling." "We got a strong mandate from the people, and I
am committed to changing the atmosphere immediately in town," he continued. "No more drama ... the only issues will be about issues." Black knew he had significant support during his campaign because "everywhere I went I got a smile and a handshake." The mayor-elect commended his challengers for their conduct on the campaign trail, "showing the people of Carleton Place we can present ourselves well." This is not the first time Black and Antonakos have duked it out. In February, Black was charged with assault following an alleged altercation with Antonakos at town hall. The charge was later withdrawn, with Black enter-
five. In the deputy mayor's race, current Coun. Sean Redmond ousted challengers Rae Dulmage and Craig Rogers with 1,603 votes to 1,371 and 1,233 votes, respectively. Speaking to this newspaper the next day, Redmond said: "I would like to thank everybody for their support, encouragement and kind words during my campaign." He is looking forward to serving the next four years as Carleton Place's deputy mayor. "Everybody ran a very respectable campaign, showing our willingness and commitment to our town," Redmond said. "To those elected, I am excited to build a team, to work as a team," he continued. "For those not elected, I would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication, and I do hope you will continue to be involved."
New council With 13 people vying for five positions available, incumbent Theresa Fritz was
returned with 2,440 votes, followed by Andrew Tennant (1,991), Linda Seccaspina (1,829), Toby Randell (1,799) and Jeff Atkinson (1,687). "I am thrilled with my personal result," Fritz told this newspaper. "I am humbled the town would be so strongly behind me, and I do not take this show of support lightly." In regards to Seccaspina's council nod, Fritz is happy to see another woman on council. Moreover, she is happy with the council newcomers, and "I am happy to see my current council colleague Sean Redmond move up to deputy mayor," she stated. "I do not even have the words to say how thrilled I am to see change at the top." "Doug Black has worked very hard, and despite the tumultuous four years we all lived, he has managed to rise to the top, behaving with integrity and honesty," Fritz continued. "This is what the people want ... tired of the negativity coming from the top down, and five integrity commission-
er reports were more than any community and council should have to take." Tennant was eager to get to work with other members of the new council. "I think we have a good group, and I am excited to see what we can achieve together for the town." He is truly thankful for the support he received throughout his campaign. "It is an unbelievable honour so many people have put their faith in me to help the town move forward," Tennant added. "I do not have any more words to define the feeling." Randell is "proud" of Carleton Place for its record turnout at the polls. "It shows how passionate our town is ... people wanted a positive change for the future," Randell said. "I congratulate all the candidates on very well run campaigns, and especially those elected to represent our citizens." Randell looks forward to working with the new council, moving Carleton

ing a diversion program. The town's former integrity commissioner, Robert Swayze, once labelled the duo's relationship as "toxic." "I want to put all the conflict behind me," Black said. "I do not want to be a politician ... I want to be a good mayor." He thanked his supporters and family, especially wife Patsy. Previously, Black was elected to Carleton Place council in 1980, 1982, 2010 and 2014. Antonakos did not respond to messages from this newspaper seeking comment on the election results. The outgoing mayor served two consecutive terms as a councillor, from 2006 to 2010 and 2010 to 2014, before being elected as Carleton Place's political leader in 2014. Antonakos sought reelection in the face of an unprecedented seven code of conduct complaints during the latest council term. Two grievances were dismissed, but he was found accountable of the other

Place forward in "a positive and prosperous manner." To his supporters: "I take this responsibility very seriously and will do my best to represent you all in a manner you can all be proud of." Lastly, Randell thanked his family and girlfriend, Laura Green, for their encouragement and support, calling it "immeasurable." Seccaspina never thought she would be honoured with a seat at council. "Everyone knows I have no filter ... I am little off the wall ... I am just not your
average politician," she said. "When I won last night I was in shock mode, but this morning is a new day and I realize it is not a dream ... what happened yesterday really happened." Thanking her supporters, Seccaspina said: "There is a job to be done now - a big one for Carleton Place - and I am so honoured to be a part of it." The unsuccessful councillor candidates in this municipal election, in order of finish, were Wes Parsons (1,640 votes), Tracy Kwissa (1,325 votes), Jennifer Rogers (1,320 votes), Kyle McCulloch (1,142
votes), Jamie DeBaie (1,091 votes), Paolo Villa (1,042 votes), Carolyn Gerbac (989 votes) and Mark Piper (405 votes).

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place is mourning the loss of one of its own, a pioneer female councillor and dedicated community leader. Trudi Dickie, in her 90th year, passed away on Oct. 12 in hospital. Dickie served as a local councillor from 1976 to 1982, elected in 1976, 1978 and 1980, and from 1985 to 1988. "Trudi was an amazing woman and role model who clearly did it all," Mayor Louis Antonakos told the Canadian Gazette. "I had the pleasure of visiting with her at our local hospital with her family." "She was fully present and greeted me with a generous smile," he added. The Town of Carleton Place lowered its flag to halfmast to honour Dickie's contributions to the town, as well as former councillor and former owner of The Book Gallery, Grant Purdy, who passed away on Oct. 17. Husband Andrew prede-
ceases Dickie, and five children survive her: Elizabeth, Brian, Keith, Stephen and Neil. Grandchildren Ryan, Kyle, Emmett, Jordan, Josh, Zach, Karsten, Shayley and Katie will miss her. Dickie was the honorary grandmother of Devon, Carly and Caitlin, and she was the great-grandmother of Jayden. As an aunt and greataunt, Dickie will be missed by her many nieces and nephews. Dickie was born in Wesleyville, N.L., to Rev. S.J. and Mary Hillier. In addition to her parents, brother Norman predeceases her. Brother Jack and sister Mary-Lou survive her. "Trudi will be sadly missed by her beloved family and friends," Antonakos said. "Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Dickie family." The mayor called Dickie a "trailblazer," following in the footsteps of the late Melba Barker - the town's first female mayor. After her husband's passing in 1990, Dickie began
theological studies. She was designated a lay minister in the United Church of Canada. Dickie served in this role for nearly 20 years at ZionMemorial United Church in Carleton Place. For several years she served as superintendent of the Sunday school. Dickie was the manager of the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce during the 1980s, and she worked as a registered nurse in town for more than 10 years. Dickie's family is grateful to the staff at the local hospital for the "exceptional care, professionalism and patience" they showed her. Dickie's longtime physician, Dr. Stephen Walker, earned special kudos. A memorial gathering was held for Dickie at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home on Oct. 18. For those who wish, the family would appreciate a donation to Dickie's favourite charity - the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital.

Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos’ communication with town staff has been limited to chief administrative officer (CAO) Diane Smithson. Council made the decision on Oct. 16, during a special meeting to acknowledge an Oct. 4 report from the municipality’s integrity commissioner, Tony Fleming. The recorded vote carried 6-0, with Antonakos abstaining. This is the latest sanction made by council against Antonakos. Fleming received a complaint in July, submitted by Coun. Brian Doucett, with the nature being Antonakos had improperly directed staff, primarily the CAO. Also mentioned in the grievance: email discussions about staff were not secure and may constitute a breach of privacy, and Antonakos was engaging in personal attacks on two identified staff members, amounting to harassment. The integrity commissioner investigated Doucett’s complaint, interviewing him, Antonakos and various staff members. “In our opinion, Mayor Antonakos’ conduct as disclosed in the investigation constituted a breach of the code of conduct,” Fleming said. “A (council) member is directed by the code very specifically to not direct staff,” he continued. “No member has the authority to provide direction to staff, only a majority of council can do that.” In his grievance, Doucett provided the integrity commissioner with a series of emails on matters relating to the town’s building department as well as a dumping
complaint. In an email by Antonakos to the CAO on July 5, he stated: “I must mention this is the third time my concerns regarding this department have gone unanswered.” The mayor continued: “I am asking you directly, once again, to find a solution to these ongoing and unnecessary problems facing our staff, the business community and our residents.” On Oct. 17, Antonakos told this newspaper his comment is “self-explanatory.” “I am asking our CAO to find solutions to problems brought to my attention by several members of town staff, businesses and residents.” “When several members of our staff, businesses and residents come to me asking for assistance I think it is my job as mayor to assist them,” he added. “This is what I have done these past four years, and it is what I will continue to do as this community’s mayor.” Away on vacation when the mayor’s email of July 5 was sent, Smithson responded on July 9 with the following: “I want to advise that when issues have been brought to my attention regarding this department, I feel I have addressed them appropriately. That is not to say this means I have addressed them to all people’s satisfaction or that I have done what people expected that I should have done. I have done what I felt was appropriate in the circumstances and based on the responses I have received when looking into the situation.” The same day, Antonakos emailed the CAO: “You have taken my correspondence out of context and your response is not

OPINION EDITORIAL
HELP BREAK THE SILENCE Every child has a right to safety and well-being. October is Child Abuse Prevention Month and it's a perfect time to underscore the responsibility of the community to keep children safe and for the public to understand their duty to protect kids. Family and Children's Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville (FCSLLG) and local organizations, businesses and individuals are joining communities across Ontario to support the cause with the purple ribbon campaign. "Family and Children's Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville protects children so they can grow up safe from abuse, including physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as neglect," states the FCSLLG website. The nonprofit organization has a role under the law to "support families when they need it and, when required, take the necessary steps to make sure children are protected. We carry out our work under the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, which requires us to investigate possible abuse or neglect of children and ensure the safety of those who need protection." The Ontario Association of Children's Aid Societies' (OACAS) big initiative for Child Abuse Prevention Month is Ontario Dress Purple Day, held on Oct. 24. Its priority is to support children living safely with their immediate family. "The classroom resources are evidence-based primary prevention materials, empowering students to think and act in positive ways, appropriate for their age and stage of learning and development," notes the OACAS website. "The goal of the materials is to help all children and youth, regardless of the situation they are in, to acquire skills and attributes that lessen their vulnerability to harm." Those online classroom resources are available at www.oacas.org/dresspurpleday. Purple ribbon T-shirts can also be purchased online at the address above. For more than 100 years, OACAS has been providing leadership, service excellence and advocacy to children, youth and families across the province. Their vision is to provide an effective children services system based on the core values to be collaborative, accountable, courageous, innovative and transparent. Locally, FCSLLG planned a Dress Purple Barbecue Oct. 24 at its Brockville and Perth locations between 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. School staff and students were invited to dress in purple, talk about children's rights to safety and well-being and tweet photos of their school/classes dressed in purple, using the hashtag #iBREAKtheSilence. Everyone in the community has a role to play in supporting children's rights.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY OCT. 26 MARKS START OF POPPY CAMPAIGN DEAR EDITOR:
We are indeed fortunate to live in a free country where the opportunity for a rewarding and fulfilling life is available to each and everyone. One specific group we can thank for our peaceful, and secure and free nation is our veterans. It was their sacrifices throughout our proud history that paid the price for our ability to live in the greatest nation on earth. Each year the members of the Royal Canadian Legion eagerly exercise their most important responsibility by taking part in the annual poppy campaign. They do so with glad hearts and a thankful spirit as they treat this event as a sacred trust placed in their care to show true and sincere appreciation to those who gave so much. This tradition allows us to share the thanks we give with you, to more
than 119,000 Canadian men and women who paid the ultimate price in the First World War, Second World War, the Korean War, peacekeeping missions and Afghanistan. Our operations abroad have brought new veterans home to their families and communities, and to them we pledge the same support and aid we have offered those that have gone before. As we begin this year's campaign, we are indeed grateful to the generosity and thoughtfulness shown year and year again by all who have assisted us by proudly wearing the red blossom, or purchasing and displaying memorial wreaths. Your outstanding commitment to this cause has allowed us at Branch 192 in Carleton Place to provide aid to ex-service personnel and their families; bursaries to forward the educational pursuits of our youth; and the purchase of much needed hospital equipment and supplies. These contributions are held in trust by the le-
gion and are disbursed in accordance with the legion's national bylaws. We hope we can once again enlist your support when approached by our volunteers or when you come across the now popular poppy boxes seen in many retail and government facilities and schools. We would ask that you proudly wear your poppy on your left side nearest to your heart in remembrance.
Money collected from the 2017 campaign was distributed as follows: • Balance Oct. 1, 2017 $22,986.21 • Revenue - $31,207.05 • Sub-total - $54,193.26 • Expenses - $9,688.03 Disbursements • Grants - $3,000 • Donations - $23,643.72 • Bursary - $2,250 • Youth Education Program - $648 • Total Expense/Disbursement - $39,232.75 Balance Sept. 30, 2018 $14,960.51

All permanent full- and parttime staff at the Town of Carleton Place could soon have access to an employee assistance program. During the policy review meeting on Oct. 9, council members voted to include approximately $8,000 in the first draft of the 2019 municipal budget for an employee assistance program (EAP). "I am sure many workplaces are seeing employees experiencing many issues - sometimes work related and sometimes in their personal lives," chief administrative officer Diane Smithson said. "An EAP is like a layer of assistance available 24-7," she continued. "It can provide financial, marital and legal advice, and it can offer counselling." An EAP offers services to help maximize employee health and wellness, hoping to reduce incidences of short-term disability and long-term disability ... keeping staff actively engaged in the workplace. Assistance is provided in a wide range of areas: Marital and family difficulties, emotional crisis, stress, vocational and career concerns, interpersonal relationships, alcohol and
drug issues, legal problems and financial issues. "The main intent of having an EAP is to keep your staff at work," Smithson said. "They have this extra layer of support, which they need ... they are able to come to work." The County of Lanark has been involved with this type of program for many years. As part
of its benefit program, the county has arranged for EAP services through Homewood Human Solutions. Smithson explained, "As a partner under the county's umbrella for benefits such as out of country travel insurance, the town has the ability to participate with their provider." Coun. Theresa Fritz noted,

quired if any agencies affiliated with the town could also benefit from its EAP. He mentioned the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association, Carleton Place & District Youth Centre and Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum. "I can ask the question," Smithson said. It is the goal of the town to commence EAP services on Jan. 1, 2019.

"I do recognize the importance of having employees happy in their work and personal lives." A financial proposal was obtained from Homewood Human Solutions to provide EAP services to permanent full- and parttime staff at the Town of Carleton Place. The cost: $7,920.

FORMER COUNCILLOR, BUSINESSMAN GRANT PURDY PASSES AWAY TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The community of Carleton Place is mourning the loss of former councillor and businessman Grant Purdy. Purdy, at the age of 75, passed away on Oct. 17 at Almonte Country Haven. Brothers Paul and Roger survive him. According to Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos, the town lowered its flag to half-mast to honour Purdy, along with former councillor Trudi Dickie who passed away on Oct. 12. Purdy served on Carleton Place council for one term, until 1994, elected in 1991. He served under Mayor Steven Peckett. A retired geography teacher, Purdy opened The Book Gallery in 1991, located on Allan Street. The business moved in 2003 to the corner of Lake Avenue West and Victoria Street. During an interview in 2010 with the Canadian Gazette, Purdy said he always
wanted to open a used book store with something for everyone - a store specializing in books for people who wanted to read. In its heyday, The Book Gallery boasted in the neighbourhood of 150,000 titles. The genres: architecture, history, romance, music, science fiction, mystery, war, religion, horror and more. "The record for browsing was eight hours," Purdy disclosed. Not all customers found what they wanted; however, a prime minister did find the hockey book he needed. Purdy would not reveal the Canadian leader's identity. There was also the time "a man came to the front yelling he found it - Crusoe of Lonesome Lake," he remembered. The man was waving the book in Purdy's face ... he had been looking for the read for 40 years. In February this year, it was announced The Book Gallery was closing after 27 years. For the last couple of years, Steve Hamilton, a 10-year employee, has been running The Book Gallery for Purdy - when his health declined. Honouring Purdy's wishes, no service was held. For those who wish, the family would appreciate a donation to the Ottawa Public Library.

Derek Needham, the detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, during the Lanark County Association of police services board meeting at the Beckwith Township council chambers in Blacks Corners on Wednesday, Oct. 3. “A stretch of turning lanes between Carleton Place and Perth "susceptible to snow drifts," said Needham, and in an unsigned letter from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, dated Sept. 28, the ministry wrote that "the ministry has not identified any concerns regarding winter operations during the times of these
collisions." However, in talking with the local OPP and the ministry's own weather analysis, they have come to understand that an area of the highway "is susceptible to snow drifting and may have a different localized weather pattern than some other sections along this same highway." That is why, in the past year, the ministry has "installed static signs warning motorists of drifting snow and road conditions through this section of Highway 7. The ministry has retained a consultant to perform a specialized snow drift analysis to study local conditions on this part of Highway 7." The letter also suggested that a snow fence could be reinstalled, and two portable variable message signs might be installed "which will include more specific and up-todate winter weather messaging." For both the snow fence and the portable signs, "it is our goal to have these

"They are taking action," said Needham. "They are doing what they said they would do. We are going to have something." The letter continued
that the ministry would continue to work with the OPP and local municipalities, "to identify shortterm improvements." Further to this, "the ministry has also started to look more closely at the
operational performance of Highway 7 through a second consultant assignment," looking at the stretch from Perth to Carleton Place, "to determine if there are locations along this stretch of road
that may require further study and potential modifications in a future detail design assignment. It is expected to have results from this operational performance review early this winter.”

The 2018-2022 Mississippi Mills council shrinks from the previous 11 members to seven - a mayor, deputy mayor, two Almonte Ward councillors, two Ramsay Ward councillors and a Pakenham Ward councillor. John Dalgity earned the highest number of votes in the Almonte Ward (1,538) to secure a spot as councillor. The son of the Garry and the late June Dalgity, said he was very excited to start the council term. "I'm so thankful," he said Oct. 23, of his victory. "I think we will all make a good team. We'll find a way to make things work and try to bring the town back together and heal it." John said he shared a
special moment with his father, who served 29 years as councillor. "I have some big shoes to fill," he admitted. "He was with me last night and it was a pretty cool moment. When it was announced and he came up and shook my hand, it was a big deal for me." His priority is to not just revisit the Don Maynard Park sale decision, but to "reverse it." "There has to be a solution we can work out without selling the park." Janet Maydan earned the second Almonte Ward councillor position with 1,380 votes, beating out incumbent Jill McCubbin by just 10 votes. "I am grateful and excited to be elected to serve the residents of Almonte and Mississippi Mills," Maydan stated. "I learned so much from citizens everywhere as a member of the Paken-
ham Ramsay and Almonte Taxpayers Advocacy Coalition and I will do my part to restore confidence in the democratic processes and principles in our beautiful community. I look forward to the next four years in service and working with the fine members of the new council. Incumbent Duncan Abbott had 1,144 votes. In Ramsay Ward, newcomers Bev Holmes and Cynthia Guerard will be the new council representatives earning 1,285 and 1,238 votes, respectively. Holmes said she was "extremely humbled" by the response she received and that her message resonated with people. "It will be an honour to serve the people of Ramsay," she commented. The first order of business for Holmes will be to familiarize herself more with municipal staff and issues. "I want to meet staff and get to know everyone and to work with them to come up with a list of priorities. If we're going to be a See VETERAN, page 16

something I would consider professional or appropriate in addressing the content or context of my communication. I would suggest that you leave the politics to the politicians and focus on what is being stated in my correspondence ... your assertive attention to these matters would be appreciated.” In June, the town received an anonymous email from carletonpcrap@yahoo.com, claiming illegal dumping on property owned by an unnamed developer. Further emails were sent on July 4 and July 9, with Antonakos copied on the later correspondence. This newspaper confirmed the unnamed developer is Wally Thorbjornsson. The mayor emailed the CAO and council on July 9, indicating: “It is beyond my comprehension on how we can conduct any busi-
ness or sense of fairness in our municipality if we continue to hold different people to different standards.” Antonakos recommended the concerns of carletonpcrap@yahoo.com be taken seriously and investigated immediately. Smithson responded on July 12, advising staff were looking into the matter; however, some people were on vacation. The same day, Antonakos wrote to the CAO: “At this point, should you not act immediately, I am left with no other option than to call the (Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks) myself. I am very disappointed that you and our staff do not fully appreciate the level of concern and potential ramifications of this complaint ... the associated health and safety concerns for our community.” Regarding allegations members of staff were harassed by the mayor
through email and other means, which has interfered with their ability to do their jobs, Fleming said they “were reluctant to provide information, even on a confidential basis.” “The reluctance of staff to speak out is troubling, but this investigation can make no definitive finding relating to harassment on the basis of the material available and the interviews conducted,” the integrity commissioner noted. In addition, Fleming said, “The (mayor’s) emails demonstrated a pattern of interference with the building department, while not sufficient to conclude there was harassment, must be considered a warning to the mayor his behaviour is not appropriate.” Fleming found no evidence the emails sent by the mayor constituted a breach of privacy or were unsecure communica-
tions. Coun. Theresa Fritz was troubled by the integrity commissioner’s comment “the mayor is interacting with staff in an inappropriate manner.” “This concerns me the most,” she stressed, and “the fact we have staff afraid to talk in confidence to a lawyer doing an investigation is very concerning to me.” When the integrity commissioner asked Antonakos to explain his email on July 9 to the CAO on the subject of the building department, which is when he told Smithson she had taken his correspondence out of context, the mayor told Fleming he felt the CAO’s response was “a little flaky.” “I was personally offended by this ... a CAO with a business degree from university, along with 20-plus years of experience,” Fritz said. “For four years the mayor has pur-
Louis story.” “I referenced our staff,” Flynn said on Tuesday. “They have had the wrath of our mayor.” “They may not have spoken to the integrity commissioner, but they did speak to me, and I can assure you it is a toxic environment here.” Doucett’s recent complaint brings the number of grievances against Antonakos during this term of council to seven. On Tuesday, Antonakos noted the latest complaint was based on two emails he sent to the CAO and members of council. Ahead of the meeting, the mayor handed out copies of the emails, and “I will allow members of the public, members of the gallery, our residents and media to decide for themselves the content of those letters.” “They are transparent,” Antonakos continued. “They are open.” Doucett told this newspaper he filed the complaint because “I believe it is in the public interest to release the information.”

sued a developer in this community because of a failed friendship ... I am sick of it ... as far as I am concerned, I hope it ends next week.” Coun. Sean Redmond called reading the integrity commissioner’s report “very difficult and disturbing.” He added: “The fear and intimidation factor alone is disgusting. Nobody should have to work in these deplorable circumstances. I applaud each and every one of our staff for their professionalism, hard work, dedication and perseverance through these horrendous working conditions.” “You are out of control!” Redmond told Antonakos. “I do and will support staff ... they deserve much better.” On Sept. 20, exactly two months after announcing he was withdrawing from the 2018 mayoral race in Carleton Place, Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn took to his personal Facebook page with a message for local residents, sharing “the

PAWS APPLAUSE FOR NEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL LOCATION IN ALMONTE MORE SPACE MEANS DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF EXAM ROOMS DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Fido, the doctor will see you now. The Mississippi Mills Animal Hospital may only have moved a few doors down Ottawa Street, but it has made a world of difference to the doctors and their fourlegged patients. The hospital held its grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 20, with a fundraising hotdog barbecue for Canadian Dachshund Rescue Ontario (hotdogs, wiener dogs, get it?). The new facility has been open since June, but "this is a celebra-
tion of our move into the new building," said Dr. Emily Jansen, during an interview in the smaller examining room usually used for cats. The clinic had operated beside Equator Coffee since 2012, but "we outgrew it," she said of their old digs. "We are in a fortunate position to expand." "More than double what we had," adds Dr. Amanda Bickerton, who has just returned from the parking lot, having finally found a minute to enjoy the barbecue after meeting a steady stream of visitors all afternoon. The old facility had 1,500 square feet of room, while this new facility, which is beside the gas station at the Ottawa Street roundabout, has 2,800 square feet. The animal hospital has also doubled their examination

The new building is also completely digital, and they have a paperless administration centre. "More space, and the surgery room is bigger," said Jansen. "We can have more vets working here." In fact, there are between two and three veterinarians on site most days, with another two on

the road. "It's more comfortable. You can spread out more," said Dr. Mark van Campen, joining the conversation. And with more veterinarians available, and more space for them to work in, "we can see you sooner than we could before. Our waiting times are less," said van Campen. The Almonte hospital is one of three such clinics in the chain,
the other two being the Valley Veterinary Clinic in Carleton Place, and the Renfrew Animal Hospital. There is also a new lab on site, where some tests can be turned around in as little as 20 minutes. "It's actually a full hospital," said van Campen, with an operating room, dentistry facilities and an ultrasound room too. "We can do most surgeries here."

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
VETERAN COUNCILLOR SAYS IT’S HIS LAST TERM Continued from page 12

team, we have to start out working as a team. This council are all individuals I can work with." Guerard acknowledged serving her community will be a big job, but she's up to the task. "I'm hoping the new council will be able to sit down and review everything before we start making any decisions," she said. "There's a lot of healing to do and then we can work forward from there, but I'm very optimistic." Owning a business in Almonte, residing in Ramsay and having been born in Pakenham, Guerard said she has a knowledge of all of the communities that make up Mississippi Mills, which will be an asset. Rounding out the Ramsay Ward candidates were incumbent John Edwards with 936 votes, Ken Kicksee
with 747 and Tony Barr, who dropped out of the race in September, with 180. Council veteran Denzil Ferguson will be back for another term as Pakenham Ward representative, earning 630 votes over his competitor, Vicki Barr McDougall, who received 341. This term will be Ferguson's final one, and once completed, he will have 30 years of municipal politics experience. "It's my last term, no question," he said. From a personal perspective, Ferguson indicated he's pleased to have been re-elected to serve constituents. "I worked very hard at it and went around and saw many people, which I always try to do," he said. "It's a different council, but it's the people's choice. It will be different from what we've seen before."
He hopes the new council can work together as a team and counts one of his priorities this term as planned rural development. "Hopefully there's going to be some teamwork from here on in and people will look at it from that perspective," Ferguson noted. In the Upper Canada District School Board trustee race, incumbent Donald Cram was re-elected, receiving 3,913 votes to Carole Dufort's 3,580 and Sharon Holzscherer's 1,422. Unofficial results have incumbent Anouk Tremblay returning as the French separate trustee, over challenger Edwil Fleury. English separate trustee Jennifer Cooney and French public school trustee Colette Stitt were acclaimed to their positions.

Lowe's Canada, a leading home improvement company operating or servicing over 630 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, is proud to announce that its national Lowe's Canada Heroes campaign has raised a total of $1.1 million. Throughout September, every Lowe's, RONA, and RenoDepot corporate store in the country collected donations to help local non-profit organizations or public schools of their choosing fulfill their missions or carry out specific projects. Lowe's Canada matched 50 per cent of all funds raised through the in-store campaign, up to a maximum of $2,000 per store. All funds raised in-store, along with matching corporate donations, are being donated to more than 260 community organizations. This year, RONA Carleton Place employees chose to support Lanark County Interval House and will be donating $2,495.94 to this local organization. "We are grateful that our employees and customers across the country came together again this year to help people love where they live," said JeanSébastien Lamoureux, senior vice-president, communications, public affairs and compliance at Lowe's Canada.

On Nov. 3, the Hub will be hosting an amazing benefit dance at the Almonte Civitan Hall to raise money for the renovations to our home on Mill Street. It will be a night of classic rock and country music. Rod Pottle and Little Rock will share the stage with the band Phoenix, and be joined by solo artists Clarence Bowes, Kathy Stroud, Marc Reid, Tammy Walters, Christine McNeely and more. Country Mu-
sic Hall of Famer Charlie Kitts will be there as MC. There will be lots of food courtesy of the friends and volunteers at the Hub, a silent auction and a sneak peek at our plans for the building. The building is being thoroughly renovated. It's been gutted inside to reveal the original walls of the old O'Brien Theatre. We plan to "go back to the future," by restoring the heritage wall colours and columns of the theatre
decor. We'll also add more retail space and a mezzanine at the front to better serve our customers. The Hub has been supporting this community for more than 40 years, but now we need your help. Tickets are just $10 and are available at the Hub and Rebound, Almonte Quick Print, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 in Almonte, from Hub members, and at the door. The music starts at 7 p.m. and runs until 11 p.m. Submitted by Mary Lou Souter, past president, Almonte Community Coordinators

INPUT SOUGHT ON EDUCATION REFORM The provincial government has launched its period for public consultation on education reform. The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) encourages parents, staff, students and community partners to take this opportunity to provide their insight. The public consultation period is open until Dec. 15, 2018. The topics of discussion include: how to improve student performance in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); how our schools are preparing students with needed job skills; what more can be done to ensure students graduate with important life skills, like financial literacy; and how to build an updated and age-appropriate health and physical education curriculum that includes subjects like sexual health education, mental health and the legalization of cannabis. Those interested in participating in these consultations can do so three ways: via online submission form or by emailing fortheparents@ontario.ca or auservicedesparents@ontario.ca; through an online survey; or via telephone town halls.

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com United Way Lanark County's annual campaign officially kicked off at the beginning of October, but there are several ways to show your support this fall. The campaign, which raised approximately $200,000 in 2017 to support local organizations and initiatives, launched during the Oct. 2 United Way flag raising at the Lanark County administrations building. "In 2017, we changed 10,875 lives with the help of our partners who involved over 200 volunteers with youth, seniors and those in need in our community," explained United Way Lanark County (UWLC) regional director Fraser Scantlebury. "But we had over $100,000 (in programs) we couldn't fund last year." Through the organization's 2018-2019 call for proposals process to fund programs and initia-

Pictured, UWLC board chair Helen McIntosh and regional director Fraser Scantlebury at the launch of Mississippi Mills Youth Centre's Forever Young program, which received United Way funding, Oct. 18. tives throughout the county, 10 out of 16 agencies with submissions received funding. According to Scantlebury, there are three focus areas for investment - All That Kids Can Be, From Poverty to Possibility and Healthy People, Strong Communities. "This year, we are hoping to raise $10 for each person in Lanark County and Smiths Falls," he noted. "With donations at that level, we would be able to fund many more worthwhile projects
to help those in need in our communities." Priorities under those focus areas, include: All That Kids Can Be (critical hours, youth homelessness); From Poverty to Possibility (transportation, beginnings and transitions); and Healthy People, Strong Communities (successful aging, strong neighbourhoods). UWLC wants to help shed light on local issues such as after school programs, social isolation of seniors, mental health and do-
mestic violence. "Our goal is to help make local issues #unignorable," he stated. Upcoming events The community can get behind UWLC through a variety of events over the next month, beginning with the United Way Day Kick-off Breakfast Friday, Oct. 25, hosted by Algonquin College Perth Campus.

Stakes and pins supporting quality health care close to home
Own a piece of history and support the future of local health care Mississippi River Power Corp While cleaning the river last week, we came across a bunch of old railway remnants, including a pile of railway spikes partially submerged in the water. Most were buried in the muck. We counted over 230 in the pile.
Donation Line 613.256.2514 Ext.2296
We kept some of the spikes and have decided to offer them to anyone interested in a souvenir of the old railroad. We’ll clean them as best we can and have them available for a minimum of $5 donation per spike. All proceeds collected will be donated to the Almonte General Hospital’s “Put Yourself in the Picture” fundraising campaign. If you’d like a spike, send an email to Scott Newton: snewton@mississippiriverpower.com *** Guardian Angel Pin
insideottawavalley.com
The fact that Harriet Soudant is loved by her patients was abundantly clear when she was recently surprised with a Guardian Angel pin from Richard and Bonnie Love. The Loves believe that Harriet’s care gifted Richard with a quality of life he never thought he could regain. It is obvious that she has a place engraved on their hearts.
Harriet, thanks for being such a key member of the team!” wrote Richard and Bonnie Love This is Harriet’s 2nd Angel pin. Congratulations Harriet!
In their words…
Has a volunteer or staff member at the Hospital, Manor or Lanark County Paramedic Service gone above and beyond for you? Nominate them for a Guardian Angel Pin.
“Her support and encouragement have been instrumental in helping Richard regain his quality of life after heart issues created problems earlier this year. She has supported above and beyond the call of duty providing coaching and emotional support during the past few months. This has resulted in a much greater recovery than anyone expected.
The process is simple, write down a few lines of why you’re honouring your Guadian Angel and make a donation of $25 or more to the Foundation. www.almontehospitalfoundation.com

When Pat Morgan started baking cakes, as a hobby for friends, she didn't predict her love of baking to blossom into a full-time commitment. She remembered baking in childhood with her grandmother and the feeling of warmth and comfort that would fill the room. For the last 25 years, she has continued to feel that warmth when she steps into her own bakery. Pat's specialty is her West Indian fruit cake. It is a combination of raisins, cherries, currents, prunes, fruit peel, rum and wine. Contrary to what Canadians make, Pat's fruitcake has no nuts. Once the mixture is made, it sits for five months. After that, more wine is added and it is packaged and ready to go. It can be stored for up to a year. She also, is famous for her artistic and beautiful cakes, heavenly chocolates, cookies and loaves. To view her many cre-

OPINION
WORK TO PREPARE FOR WINTER WAS A COMMUNITY EVENT NEIGHBOURS WOULD GATHER TO HELP WITH LOG CUTTING, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
Father had been bringing out logs from the bush for weeks. Big trees, stripped of their small branches and hauled by one horse to the middle of the barn yard. It was a job he did over time, many weeks, and soon the pile was ready for the day the big saw machine would come in our long lane to saw the trees into log sizes to fit the Findlay Oval.
The Farmer's Almanac said it would be an early winter that year. So the sawing machine and all the neighbours from around, soon would arrive for the yearly job of preparing the wood to take us through the long winter ahead. Usually the snow was on the ground when woodcutting day arrived. But the Farmer's Almanac, like the Bible, wasn't to be taken lightly. I was allowed to stay home from school that day, as was my sister Audrey. Audrey, much older than I,
would be needed to feed dinner to the men who had come to help a neighbour prepare for winter. I could smell the meat roasting in the oven before I got out of bed. Beef and pork, side by side in the Findlay Oval. The biggest pot in the kitchen would hold potatoes, peeled the night before, and enough pies to feed all of Renfrew County were covered with tea towels on the bake table. The pine table wouldn't hold everyone, so two sawhorses with planks and covered with sheets were added to the kitchen, so that all the men could be fed at one time. All morning I would sit
at the kitchen window and watch the big logs from our bush being fed into the saw machine, and marvel at how everyone worked so well together. There was no talk, the machine drowned out every other sound, but I could see swirls of smoke from the men's pipes. As the cut logs fell to the ground, they were tossed into a pile and I watched it grow before my eyes. I wondered, as the pile grew, how we would ever manage to use up all the wood being cut that day. By noon hour the log cutting was finished, and the men filed into the kitchen, dropping their heavy coats at the door, and slipping out of their gum-rubbers. They filled the chairs around the table and the extra place, and dug into the bowls of steaming food like they hadn't eaten in days. The talk was about the winter ahead, and the summer past, and the Depression, and how lucky everyone was to have sur-
vived another year. It didn't take long for the meal to be over, and there was no dallying. This was farming. There was no time to sit for idle chatter. The neighbours filed out of the kitchen, said quick goodbyes and headed off to their own farms to finish their work day with their own chores. A team was hitched to the saw machine, now quiet, and headed out the lane. It wouldn't be idle for long. Soon another neighbour would be ready for it, and again, the neighbours would meet and do the job at hand. The pile of cut logs would stay in the yard, but with Father working away at it with the axe every chance he had. Then it was my brother's job to carry the wood into the summer kitchen and pile it into neat rows against the wall. There it would be handy when the wood box had to be filled. The summer kitchen, which in the hot weather held the Findlay Oval, was
cleared by then, and ready for the chopped wood. In one corner would be a special pile. This was kindling wood which Father had chopped from bigger logs and would be used to start the morning fire in the kitchen. That day I would again marvel at how the neighbours met and worked together to help each other out. I knew there was a Depression on ... goodness knows it was talked about, but to me on that special day, it could be happening in some other country, far, far way from Northcote.

Grady the Grasshopper Graduates is set to hit stores soon! The book will be available first at the Itty Bitty Craft Show on Nov. 4 and 5 at the Carleton Place Canoe Club, and around locally after that date. Bugs have been around since before the time of dinosaurs, but what is their secret? For those bugs with a thirst for knowledge, the secret can be discovered at the annual Brainy Bug Bash. Grady, a young, over confident grasshopper stumbles upon this impressive event. Will this smug grasshopper be willing to accept some advice or will he simply hop away? The survival of all bugs may depend on his very important decision. Natasha Peterson is an author that loves to write rhyming stories and poems for young children. Grady the Grasshopper Graduates is Natasha's fifth self-published children's book. All of her self-published books are created with the same outstanding team of illustrators: Manoj Pradhan, Ankur Majumder and Ruhi Soni from Studio Patachitra. Peterson publishes her book with her own logo, Polar Bear Press. Her four previous books include, Gayle the Goose Goes Global, Nutty Neighbours, Harold the Homeless Hermit, and Polar Bear Pete's Perfect Performance. The first three listed above are all Canada Book Award winners. When Peterson isn't writing, she works as a skating coach and at The Good Food Company, however
her favourite job is being mom to her two young children. She dreams of one day turning her stories into short children's programs that can be shared worldwide. To learn more about Peterson and her books, visit www.polarbearpress.com. Submitted by Polar Bear Press

Thank You to Our Generous Donors By Mary Wilson Trider, President & CEO Many people are surprised to learn that the provincial government does not fund the purchase of medical equipment. Each year, each hospital develops a capital budget that outlines the highest priority equipment needs at Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. Then we turn to our two Foundations, Volunteer Associations and Auxiliaries and ask them to help raise funds to meet these needs. Thanks to generous individuals, businesses and organizations, we are able to purchase much needed equipment to care for our local communities. In addition, our Foundations raise funds for major projects such as diagnostic imaging equipment in Almonte and new cardiac monitors in Carleton Place.

VISIT TO HOFBRÄUHAUS GREAT WAY TO SOAK UP FESTIVAL, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column
We have recently returned from Europe where we again explored beautiful southern Germany with side trips to France and Switzerland. My travel-related columns invariably elicit the biggest reader response so I intend to share some of our experiences in the coming weeks. We were there during the city's annual Oktober-
fest which is the largest beer festival and fun fair in the world. "Munchen (Munich) Oktoberfest" is the prototype for similar beer festivals around the world, including the nearly 50year-old event in Kitchener-Waterloo which attracts hundreds of thousands to the southern Ontario city each fall. Munich's spectacular dates back to 1810! Oktoberfest is a vital part of the regional culture and a massive, annual boost for the tourism industry in Munich.
Kathleen, I, our friends and longtime travel companions Wendy and Frank LeBlanc had not originally planned our visit around Oktoberfest. A quick check online revealed that this year's festival (it ran for 16 days) started a few days before our arrival. Oktoberfest is centred in a park in the Munich borough of Theresienwiese ("Theresa's Meadows" in English), away from the city centre. So, we had a choice to make. Go to Theresienwiese and stand shoulder to shoulder with countless others in large tents erected for the occasion? Or stay in the centre and
sample the delights of the most famous beer hall in the world? We opted for 'Hofbräuhaus' the largest and oldest beer hall in the city which can seat up to 5,000 revellers. Located in Marienplatz in Munich's old town, Hofbräuhaus was originally established in 1589 by the Duke of Bavaria as the official royal brewery. Soon after it became publicly owned and operated by the Bavarian government. It has remained so ever since. What a time we had at Hofbräuhaus! It was a Tuesday night, but with so many people in Munich for Oktoberfest (more than six
million attend annually) the beer hall was busier than usual. We were fortunate to arrive just as some customers were leaving and quickly sat down. Beer is served in massive one litre glasses. They are so heavy, it's hard to lift them with one hand. Frank and I opted for "dunkel" a dark German lager. Our wives, who aren't beer drinkers, ordered wein (wine). Germany produces some of the best wines in the world! We joined the crowd, swaying to the music of the oompah band and singing the Hofbräuhaus song performed in the local Bavarian dialect, "In Munchen

MUNICH OKTOBERFEST LEFT US THIRSTING FOR MORE
steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa! (In Munich is the Hofbräuhaus: One, two, down the hatch!)" Hofbräuhaus with its heavy beer mugs emblazoned with the famous "HB" initials is Munich's biggest year-round tourist attraction. Based on our brief time there, little wonder! We would love to experience it again. "Prost to Hofbräuhaus!" See a longer version of this story on www.insideottawavalley.com.

Sealed submissions will be received in envelopes clearly marked as to contents by the Town Clerk at her office in the Town Hall, 77 Beckwith Street North, Smiths Falls, Ontario, until 11:00 am local time on Tuesday December 18, 2018 for the provision of a pedestrian bridge(s) spanning the Rideau River between the Combined and Detached locks for Parks Canada on the Rideau Canal system. Purpose and scope: Provide a plan, design, cost and timeline for the provision and installation of a pedestrian linkage across the Rideau River (possibly adjacent to the Water Treatment Plant on Abbott Street) in the basin between the Combined and Detached locks for Parks Canada on the Rideau Canal system. A map of the area with water elevations is included in the appendix attached in the RFP package. Basic requirements for the licencing authorities of Parks Canada and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) indicate that any structure crossing the river must be above 121.5M elevation to ensure that structures are not exposed to high water. This level has been provided by the RVCA as an indication of the 100-year flood mark. Structures should be pleasing to the eye and fit with the surrounding area. The structure should also enhance the beauty of the waterfront and the Victoria Park basin. Along with measurements, design, cost and installation dates for the project proponents will provide a rendering or mock-up of the proposed design to aid in the selection of the winning design. It is the goal of the Corporation of the Town of Smiths Falls to have a structure in place in the Spring of 2019 following the Spring freshet as water levels and environment allow. RFP’s will be opened in Public 11:05a.m. on Tuesday December 18, 2018, in the Council Chambers at the Town Hall, 77 Beckwith Street North, Smiths Falls, Ontario. Questions regarding this RFP may be directed to Art Manhire at the Community Services Department (tel: 613-283-4124 ext. 6101).

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!
