MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Rob More already has a mystery on his hands. More, a local teacher and author, had no sooner launched his first book about the veterans who served Canada from Beckwith Township than he got word that Mississippi Mills town council’s finance committee had approved his application for funding for his next project, which will focus on the veterans from the old Town of Almonte and the surrounding townships of Ramsay and Pakenham. (The town’s funding is dependent, however, on More receiving federal funding for his project.) More has launched head-long into his research, and already he has come across an interesting character who is mentioned in the late Carleton Place historian Brian Costello’s book on the Canadian Air Force.
“(But) the Commonwealth Graves Commission doesn’t have him listed as dying the war,” said More during a recent interview. “It’s very odd.” Part of the reason why the airman might not be known to the commission is because of the work he was doing, and just as important, where he was in the European war theatre. “He’s buried in a very unusual place,” said More, noting the Mississippi Mills airman was buried near the border of what is now Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina in the former Yugoslavia. “Why was he over there in that area?” wondered More. “Ok, something strange has happened here.” This is just one of four stories that More has already collected in his preliminary research. “You find something, you get passionate about it,” said More.

An Ottawa region man was “holding onto a lottery ticket” in the form of a rare 1974 two-dollar bill he had kept in a safety deposit box for 30 years. When he walked into Almonte’s Alliance Coin and Bank Note, owner and numismatist Sean Issacs was floored. “It’s the holy grail of modern
notes,” Issacs said. The rare bill had the number one, meaning it was the very first bill printed in the series. The man had Photo by Brier Dodge held onto it for that reason alone, but there was another special thing about it – unknown by anyone at the time he got the bill 30 years ago. The “RS” prefix on the bill means Alexandre Bernier, 3, poses outside the Pakenham cenotaph that it was meant to circulate as a following the Nov. 11 ceremony.

Family of warriors celebrates bonds to military DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – For Larry, Larry and Michael, Remembrance Day is a family affair. The family is not only devoted to each other, but to their military duty to their country as well, which is why all three men have been proud to put on the uniform of their country. Larry Maloney Sr. was stationed in Egypt from 1960-1961 as a peacekeeper after the Suez Canal crisis of 1957, before moving on to West Germany from 1964-1967. His son, Larry Maloney Jr., was stationed in the Golan Heights area between Israel and Syria in the early 1980s, while Corp. Michael Dwyer, Larry Jr.’s son, served two tours of duty in Afghanistan. “I started off as a trucker,” said Larry Sr., as he waited for parade of veterans to muster on Mill Street in front of Carleton Place town hall on the morning of Remembrance Day. “I was a mechanic,” said Larry Jr. “I was in the garage. I was in charge of the first and second line officers.” “We got right out before the war,” added Larry Jr., when things got really testy in the Middle East, following the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon in 1982, and the arrival of American troops in the area.
“I was the one that talked him (Larry Jr.) into the service because it is a good life,” said Larry Sr., whose daughter, Joyce, was also in the service, serving a decade as a military medic. Larry Sr.’s father was also served his country for 25 years, seeing action in the Second World War. Interestingly, in a family that places such a high premium on active military service, Corp. Dwyer, stationed at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, is not sure that he wants his newborn son to take up arms himself. “Right now, this is my main focus,” Dwyer said, pointing to his three-month-old son, Gavynn, asleep in his stroller, being pushed by his wife Megan. “(I hope he) won’t go into the service … I want better for my son than that.” Looking over at his wife, he grins and adds that “my wife wants him to be a doctor.” “Okay, an M.O. (medical officer) then,” jokes Larry Sr. Despite the jokes, the day is a time for reflection for the two Larrys and Michael. “I’ll be shedding a few tears,” said Larry Sr., pulling out a large wad of tissues. He also thought back to the work done by his fellow soldiers in Egypt. “We improved their way of life,” Larry Sr. said, adding he is also proud of his grandson since, now, Afghan women can go to school.

Continued from front There are names of 64 souls chiseled in to the rock of the cenotaphs in Almonte, Pakenham and Clayton. “We’re going to do some real deep research,” promised More, who is also the author of Beckwith’s Heroes: An Anthology of Beckwith’s World War I Veterans, which had its official launch at the Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown on Remembrance Day. Already, as his attention shifts north to Mississippi Mills, Branch 240 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Almonte has proven to be most helpful. “They saw it as a very worthwhile project,” said More. “There is certainly a need for it.” If More gets his federal funding, that would certainly change the nature, and speed, of his investigations. “I’ll have to treat it as a part-time job,” said More, if the federal monies flow from Ottawa. Already, More is noticing subtle differences between looking at the histories and back stories of Beckwith versus Mississippi Mills. “One huge difference I’ve seen already is that Almonte had its own recruiting office, so they formed their own regiment,” said More. “Which makes it easier (for my research) … It’s night and day between Beckwith and Mississippi Mills.” Much of his research is already done – “it’s just a matter of sitting down and writing,” he said.

Once-in-a-lifetime bill sold Continued from front Eventually collectors noticed that out of all the prefixes, the RS number was rare – and realized that they weren’t meant to be kept in public hands. “He knew it was a number one note, but he made no connection to the prefix,” Issacs said. “Not only a number one, but the first note off the place, it’s literally one of a kind and it wasn’t known to have survived.” The collector brought it into Issacs’ shop to discuss selling the note, unaware of how much it could fetch. A regular number one note could fetch about $1,000 on the auction table, but neither Issacs nor the owner could predict how much it would cost.
Since there isn’t a precedent for this type of bill, it went to auction. After immediately getting a $4,000 bid, the eventual winner waited until the last two minutes to jump the successful bid up to $7,000. The seller is an Ottawa resident and casual collector that has been Issacs’ customer in the past. The new owner, only the second that the bill will have seen in its lifetime, is an anonymous buyer from the United States. On Tuesday, Issacs took the special bill to the courier to be delivered to the winner, who will now have quite the prize Canadian piece in his or her collection. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance,” said Issacs. “There will never be another number one.”

Local connection brings urologist Dr. Ed Woods to AGH Belleville urologist Dr. Ed Woods is now providing services at the Almonte General Hospital (AGH), thanks to his relationship with a local family. “I met and married an Almonte girl, Anne Rooney, who was an oncology nurse at the Toronto General Hospital,” says Dr. Woods. “We’ve now been together for 30 years, so I have had a long-time connection to Almonte.” Dr. Woods previously practised at the Scarborough General Hospital for 23 years, including the past seven years as Chief of Urology. “Then we decided to make a lifestyle change,” he explains. “We have a cottage on Buckshot Lake and decided to move to Belleville to be closer to the cottage and to Almonte.” Dr. Woods, who began practising in Belleville in September, was also drawn to Quinte Health Care because the organization had acquired a thirdgeneration green light laser. “I specialize in using the green light laser, which is special high-tech equipment that allows me to treat benign prostate obstructions,” he explains. After hearing that his sister and brother-in-law were

moving to Belleville, Almonte resident Steve Rooney passed the information along to AGH Chief of Staff Dr. Anne Oldfield. Arrangements were soon made for Dr. Woods to begin providing urological services at AGH. At present, Dr. Woods is spending a day at AGH once a month.
“The Hospital has been looking for a urologist since last December, when Dr. Power returned to full-time practice in Ottawa,” says AGH/FVM President & CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “We were delighted to find someone with Dr. Woods’ skills and experience, who also has a connection to the community.” Dr. Woods provides a number of urological services to local patients, including consultations, vasectomies, circumcisions, testicular surgery and surgery for female stress incontinence. Patients wishing to access Dr. Woods’ services should see their family physician for a referral. People without a family doctor in the community are encouraged to contact the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team at 613-256-2514, ext. 2602. Dr. Woods, who was born in Quebec, grew up in the U.S. and trained at the University of Toronto, said he is very impressed with the Almonte General Hospital’s facilities. “The Almonte General Hospital is a beautifully renovated facility, with excellent infrastructure,” he says. “Both the operating rooms and the outpatient rooms are beautiful, and the doctors and nurses are wonderful.” R0011183190

knows each other, it’s changing as time goes on.” Pakenham Township was named after General Edward Pakenham, commander of the army that attacked New Orleans at the end of the War of 1812. The township only saw a few years without the still standing General Store – built in 1840, it is known to be one of the most historical general stores in Canada. And in 1901, Pakenham built another famous landmark – the five span bridge, the only five-arch stone bridge in North America. “We’re very serious about keeping the identity,” said Barr. “We want to be identified as rural, that’s very important. We have a small country village atmosphere, that’s what we like, and want to stay that way.” He said that the strong volunteerism at the recreation association is one way that Pakenham has demonstrated their strong sense of community. The Ramsay and Pakenham celebration will open doors at 7 p.m., with presentations and music from 8-10 p.m. “It’s good because we’re all part of history,” Barr said. “We should recognize it and celebrate it and enjoy it.”
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – The year 1836 is much further back than anyone reading this would be able to remember. It was the year that Davy Crockett arrived in Texas, the year that Arkansas was named the 25th state and the year that the first Canadian railroad opened. It was also the year that both Ramsay and Pakenham townships were founded, independently of one another. They both joined with Clayton and Almonte to form Mississippi Mills in 1998 – far more recent in memory. But that isn’t stopping residents from celebrating 175 years of history for the townships on Monday, Nov. 28 at the Almonte Old Town Hall. The event will have tunes from local musicians and home baking from the North Lanark Women’s Institutes, sponsored by the Town of Mississippi Mills and hosted by the North Lanark Women’s Institutes. The last reeve in Ramsay, Jim Lowry, had come before council in September to urge council to celebrate the 175 years of history. Lowry was the Ramsay councillor after amalgamation to Mississippi Mills until 2010. Ramsay Township was named after George Ramsay, Earl of Dalhousie, who was the governor-general of Upper Canada in 1820-1828. The area was surveyed by Reuben Sherwood in 1820. Shortly afterwards, European settlement began. A second wave of immigrants from Ireland began With files from Desmond Devoy arriving around 1823. By 1829, the settlers had set up a school and a library. Several small communities, like Almonte, began springing up, mostly around the mills in the area.

The Mississippi-Rideau Region of Ottawa will undergo various policy changes in 11 key areas to protect municipal drinking water. The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Committee (MRSPC) is hosting open houses across the area to discuss the proposed policies.
Drinking water open houses being held throughout area COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com
New policies to keep contaminants out of rivers and groundwater will affect residents throughout the Ottawa Valley. The new safeguards, proposed by the Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Committee (MRSPC), will be displayed and subject to feedback at open houses across the area this month. The committee has highlighted 11 locations in the Mississippi-Rideau area that use rivers or groundwater as a source of municipal drinking water, and each of the areas will undergo certain policy changes. “We’re putting in extra safeguards to reduce the risk of contamination,” co-project manager Sommer Casgrain-Robertson said. “We certainly want to hear from people about what the policies should be.” The open houses are running from Nov. 14 to 24, and will present community members with various policy suggestions, including prohibiting the construction of new gas stations or sewage treatment facilities in vulnerable areas. Other potential policy changes could require farmers to install various safeguards on their property to prevent water contamination from pesticides, chemicals or waste products like manure and biosolids. Funding grants will be available to farmers who have to incur expenses as a result of these new policies. The deadline to apply for funding is Dec. 1, 2012, but resources are limited and Casgrain-Robertson advises farmers to apply as soon as possible. Some farmers are already
implementing water safeguards on their farms, and existing best management practices have inspired MRSPC policy suggestions, Casgrain-Roberts said. “We’re just building on what is already being done,” she said. Almonte, Carleton Place, Carp, Kemptville, Merrickville, Munster, Perth, Richmond, Smiths Falls, Westport and urban Ottawa (Britannia and Lemieux Island) are the 11 areas under review, but only a very small area within those regions will be directly affected by policy changes. Only properties that sit atop groundwater or wells used for municipal drinking water will be required to adhere to new policies. The closer that community members are to the drinking water source, the more cautious they need to be, Casgrain-Robertson said. Maps will be on display at the open houses to show which properties are directly affected, however all community members are invited to attend and give feedback on new policies. Two open houses have already taken place in Richmond and Almonte (Wednesday, Nov. 16), which ran from 4 to 8 p.m. with a presentation at 6 p.m. The other three open houses will follow the same format and will be held: Nov. 21: Carp Fairgrounds at 3790 Carp Rd.; Nov. 22: Merrickville Community Centre at 106 Read St; Nov. 24: Perth Legion at 26 Beckwith St.; The deadline to provide policy comments is Dec. 2. For more information or to access the maps to see if your property is affected, visit www. mrsourcewater.ca or call MRSPR at 613-692-3571 ext. 1147.

School bus clips, flips SUV, woman injured CARLETON PLACE – A middle-aged woman was sent to Carleton Place and District Hospital with non-life threatening injuries Tuesday afternoon, after the back of her white SUV was clipped by a school bus. The collision caused the vehicle to flip over. The crash occurred at the intersection of Coleman and Queen streets. About 27 students were on board the school bus, but there were no reports of injuries according to the OPP. The female driver was the only occupant of the SUV. The OPP contends that the bus driver pulled out on to Coleman Street from Queen Street South near the Old Train Station about 4 p.m. The bus clipped the back end of the SUV, causing it to go into a Photo by Desmond Devoy spin, flip over and land upside down, further An OPP officer takes a statement from a member of the public as paramedics tend to the driver of a white SUV that flipped down the street. over on Coleman Street in Carleton Place on Tuesday.

The East Region OPP, based out of Smiths Falls, have issued a press release to say that an onduty OPP officer is being investigated for a sexual assault. The assault allegedly occurred against a civilian employee at an OPP work location on Nov. 7. OPP have said that the work location will not be released in order to protect the identity of the victim, but that the province’s special investigation unit is investigating. “The officer being investigated is a member of the investigation and organized crime command in the Kingston area,” said a representative from the province’s special investigation unit.

Keeping Christmas in the Valley
Grandda Devoy also served and waited DESMOND DEVOY Des Says
I
t’s a regular scene in the Valley over Christmas time. A member of your household arrives home from a shopping trip in the city, loaded down with bags from the mall after trying to check off every cousin and aunt on the “to-buy-for” list. And the regular process happens, where the money, often earned in the Valley, is cycled back into a store in the city – even it wasn’t for that specific special item, but a generic set of hand towels or body wash. Christmas is just around the corner, even if we groan when we hear the Christmas music in the stores. There’s no denying it, that the shopping is going to begin soon. This Christmas, think about the best gift options for those around you. Is something sold in the city available in your own town? Our area is full of independent retailers and artists who create unique items. When you support them, the dollars you spend are pushed back into the community. It’s like the 100-mile diet that has gained popularity in the past few years. Imagine completing a 25-kilometre holiday shopping season by purchasing as many gifts as possible from businesses operated within 25 kilometres of your house. The options are endless, and you might be amazed at some of the gems you can find without driving into the city. You can relax, save gas and help local businesses by buying items close to home. And you’ll probably find something different than the same-old, sameold. If you don’t see anything that tickles your fancy, most restaurants and stores offer gift certificates. It’s often easier to buy an activity, like a dinner out at restaurant in town, than a possibly unwanted item for a hard-to-shop-for person. Everyone enjoys a good meal out on the town. So as the holiday season draws closer by the day, and we start to draft our gift list master plans, try to think of what you can buy from a local retailer or business. Not only will you be more likely to find a unique gift, but you’ll be giving a gift back to your community.

Auxiliary grateful for effort made in holiday fashions fundraiser To the editor: On behalf of the Carleton Place Hospital Auxiliary, I’d like to give a heartfelt thank-you to Catherine Wood of Mahogany and her amazing staff, who all worked so hard to make our Fabulous Holiday Fashions show at huge success, raising $7,000 for the Auxiliary. Transforming Mahogany into a venue for a fashion show wasn’t an easy task. There was a lot to be done, furniture to move, chairs to set up, and many other things that had to happen in order to open up the space to accommodate over 180 people. The venue was beautifully decorated for Christmas, the appetizers were delicious, and the evening was filled with fun and laughter. Many thanks also to the make-up artists and hairstylists who gave of their
time to transform our models into gorgeous ladies of the runway. We appreciate each and every one of you. Last, but not least, a great big thankyou to Bonnie & Company for the beautiful fashions she brought to the venue; they were truly fabulous holiday fashions. A great deal of gratitude also to the models who gave of their time to help us with the evening. We couldn’t have done it without you. And, of course, a big thanks to Peter Brown, our amazing musician. The CP Hospital Auxiliary sincerely thanks all the people who bought tickets and came out to support us in our endeavors to raise funds for the hospital; all of you have made a difference.

It was a good war for Grandfather Devoy. Joe Devoy was many things and, during World War II, was a reservist in the Irish Free State army. Now, Ireland was neutral during the conflict, but there was still a bit of running around to do, not the least of which was his regular duty of traipsing up to the Wicklow Mountains to track down German pilots who had bailed out over what they thought was England (ah, the days before GPS). This was partially the fault of the Brits, who would confuse German pilots by blaring the signal from Radio Eireann over England, making them think they were over Ireland. Some of the lads would approach my grandfather, hands over their heads - then a quizzical look would cross their German brow, not recognizing the green Irish uniform. “Ein Englander?” they’d ask. “Nah, Fritz, Irelander,” he would reply. “Ah, well, your war is over, me friend,” he’d add, before taking them to The Curragh camp where both German and English soldiers were detained. But just because Ireland was on the sidelines doesn’t mean that there wasn’t danger. A few roads over from where my grandmother lived, German planes let loose their deadly cargo one night, thinking they were over a British city, and many were killed. My great-uncle and namesake, Desmond Brown, was a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force, stationed in Iran. As was often the case with veterans of that era, he did not like to talk of his exploits, so there were none to be passed on to me. What a pity. As I covered Remembrance Day last week though, I was glad to see that the stories – both sad and glad – were being taught to a whole new generation. And I thought of Joe Sr., and Milton’s exhortion that “they also serve who stand and wait.” Publisher’s Liability: The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever arising from errors in advertisements beyond actual amount paid for space used by the part of the advertisement containing the error.

Grandmothers shout it from the rooftops:
AIDS can be beaten
Members of Grands & Friends, and thousands of other grandmothers and ‘granothers’ from all across the country have been pushing the Canadian government to fix Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR) and get affordable generic medicines to those in need. Grands & Friends is a local group of women who raise awareness and funds for grandmothers and children orphaned in Africa through school visits, fundraisers and other group activities. Along with other organizations, they have succeeded in persuading Parliament to enact such changes, only to see their efforts come to naught as an election was called before the bill could pass. We are not giving up. In the coming session, we are determined to pressure both Houses of Parliament to fix CAMR. It will take pressure from responsible citizens – you, me, and your grandmother – to make our elected officials listen to this welcome news, fund treatment as prevention, and pass changes to CAMR. If you would like to join a local grandmothers group or support our action, please contact Patti Koeslag at 613-2533099. Shout it from the rooftops: AIDS can be beaten.

To the editor: Are we on the brink of ending AIDS? “Yes!” say researchers worldwide who are investigating an innovative anti-retroviral treatment drug that also prevents the spread of HIV infection. The evidence is now conclusive: immediate treatment with Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) not only improves outcomes for the person treated, but also prevents transmission of the disease. HAART treats an infected person by consistently suppressing HIV replication and placing the virus into remission. At the same time, it dramatically reduces the likelihood of transmitting the infection. In a recent clinical trial, the risk of transmission decreased by an astonishing 96% in those given HAART. This is a major breakthrough. Finally, the grandmothers in Africa who are raising millions of orphans as a result of the HIV/AIDS pandemic have a window of hope. The disease that killed so many of their children can be beaten. As we know, the road from research to action is far from smooth. Some 34 million people are living with HIV worldwide; 16 million people require treatment for HIV/ AIDS, but only 6.6 million receive it. The Global Fund and PEPFAR, two major distributors of AIDS drugs, are chronically underfunded.

Students take a stand, together, in Almonte for inclusion DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Bruce Anderson, the managing partner of Community Activators, just happened to be in the area last week for a series of meetings in Almonte and Kemptville. Little did he know it at the
time, but he was needed here. At exactly the same time, Almonte and District High School student Kyle Code was looking for a speaker to help headline a youth-led conference on inclusion scheduled for that very same week. The timing couldn’t have been better. Code was taking part in a conference call a few weeks ago when Anderson’s name kept
popping up in conversation with several other youth leaders across the province. “Who is this guy? Where is he from?” asked Code. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, about 75 students from elementary schools in Almonte, Pakenham and Carleton Place took part in an inclusion conference entitled ‘Take A Stand Together’, headed by a panel of several high school students.
When it comes to feeling left out of the loop, and not feeling included, Code said that he knows all too well how that feels. “In elementary school, I definitely struggled,” he said, because of his ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) diagnosis. “I have trouble processing written instructions. I’m more of an oral learner … Eventually, I just got pinned as a dumb kid
because I couldn’t show what I knew in a written medium.” It was when he attended his first youth leadership conference, however, that he knew he was where he needed to be, and had finally found acceptance. “I knew that this was something that was important to me,” said Code. “I felt good about who I was.” See ‘SOMETHING’ Page 11

Continued from Page 10 Code noted he wanted to pass that feeling on to others, but that he still sees so much potential going to waste because of misunderstanding. One of the most traumatic events of the past few weeks to make headlines for high school youth was the suicide of Jamie Hubley, a 15-year-old gay high school student in Ottawa. Even with supportive parents and friends, he felt unable to continue on in high school, and life, because of a lack of inclusion. “It’s not a big shock that homosexuality can be so much of a barrier,” said Code of Hubley’s death. “I think it had a big impact on schools. Something has to change in order to have a safer school.” One thing he would like to see change at his own school is how certain messages are being sent out by the administration and teachers, which may have unintended side-messages. “We give people labels,” he said, pointing to problems such as obesity, smoking and bullying. For obesity, for example,

Anderson also noted that back when he was a community organizer in Chicago, U.S. President Barack Obama was also moving away from the confrontational Alinsky model towards more asset-based solutions. “He definitely has that approach,” Anderson said of Obama, though he noted such an approach may have difficulty taking root in such an “adversarial” environment as Washington, D.C. “This day has really been part of the community inclusion project,” said Linda White, community inclusion co-ordinator with Community Living Ontario. That project, which Code and others like him have taken part in through a yearly conference in Orillia, helps in “developing
(a) capacity within youth to take on leadership roles within their community. It’s all on helping youth to realize that everybody should have equal access. We are raising the consciousness of youth that inclusion isn’t just about people with a disability… It’s an issue of social justice.” White noted that, sometimes, because some people with disabilities are educated separately from their contemporaries, and are not seen as widely in the workplace, there is a perception amongst many that the disabled are not likely to go on to post-secondary education or hold real, full-time jobs in the workplace. “We’re trying to break stereotypes,” said White. White added she was delighted to see the work done by the ADHS community in facilitating the conference. “When your school and community is more welcoming, it benefits everyone,” said White. “When you are welcoming at school, you learn better … (and) don’t forget, schools are a reflection of your community.”

Give your pennies a happy home Gracey Patterson holding a Pennies for Change campaign again DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – The places you are most likely to find pennies these days in Carleton Place are: a. your couch, b. your jean pockets, c. the bank, and d. in a mail box on Gracey Patterson’s front porch. For the second straight year, the 13-year-old student at Arklan Community Public School is collecting pennies and other coin and paper denominations to donate to the Angel Tree Children. She’s calling her crusade, Pennies for Change. The program seeks to buy Christmas presents for disadvantaged children. As of Monday, Nov. 14, Patterson’s penny drive has collected about $500. Her campaign last year raised $1,012, beating her goal by $12, which allowed her to buy presents for 20 Angel Tree children. This year, she has set a new goal of $1,500. “Our school had done a Pennies for Peace campaign that helps build schools in Afghanistan,” said Patterson during a recent interview at her home at 217 Park Ave. in Carleton Place. While she supports the initiative to educate the children of Afghanistan, she wanted to do something to help Canadian kids closer to home. “I didn’t like the idea of kids not having presents for Christmas, and I wanted to do it
locally,” Patterson said. One girl she bought for last year had only asked for clothes. “I was surprised how poor some people are,” said Patterson. “She didn’t ask for any toys. They ask for necessities.” Helping the less fortunate is something that Patterson would like to continue on into high school and beyond into the work world. “I want to work for a charity of start my own,” she said. “I want to go down the path of going to other countries and building schools.” She really likes the work done by the charity World Vision Canada, and she even sponsors a girl in Brazil. Pennies will also be collected at Zion-Memorial United Church, 37 Franklin St., Carleton Place, as well as at other participating CP businesses, such as Read’s Book Shop, The Shawarma Place, The Movie Store, The Granary, Sandor’s Automotive and Starbucks. The Starbucks staff will also donate tips that are left in pennies. “There’s been a lot of support,” said Patterson, including cards of thanks to her, and one woman even dropped off a copy of Craig Kielburger’s book Me to We. “I want to make it clear that … (not to) thank me, thank them who are giving the money,” she said. “It’s them who are changing the world.” Pennies dropped off on Patterson’s front porch can be left between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

After considering several Kingston locations over the last year and receiving the support of the local military community, the association has decided its virtual, interactive national archive will be established at Canadian Forces Base Kingston’s Military Communication and Electronics Museum, one of Canada’s top military museums. “The Canadian Forces are proud that Canadians continue to honour and remember those who have fallen in the service of their country,” said Colonel Stephen Cadden, Commander of Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Kingston. “CFB Kingston is pleased to provide a home to this truly national monument, and to play a part in helping keep alive the memory of those who have gone before us and sacrificed so much.” The self-funding project will create a single place of remembrance for all of Canada’s fallen heroes - a facility that families, friends and the people of Canada will want to visit. The National Wall of Remembrance will honour those who fell in all conflicts of record, starting with the earliest. It will not, however, seek to replace local cenotaphs and memorials as a sacred place. Using 21st century technology, the installation will be of particular interest to schools. It will have two components: a series of panels portraying the various conflicts and a digital ‘wall’ with a ‘search’ function. A screen presentation of the name of each fallen hero together with biographies, photos and clippings will be augmented from time to time as new material comes to light. Remembrance Magazine, distributed across the country and focusing on the various conflicts with reviews, memoirs, stories, verse and memorials of those who served or fell for Canada, will be vital to the project. A panel of mainly-retired senior military officers with a combined 400 years of service to Canada has stepped forward to form an advisory board in support of this joint project of the NWORA and the Military Communications and Electronics Museum. “The National Wall of Remembrance Association is thrilled with this partnership,” said Advisory Board chairman Terence Cottrell. “The Military Communica-
tions and Electronics Museum fits our project nicely. With in-
teractive hands-on participation already encouraged by the muse-
um, our philosophies meld brilliantly. This meeting of minds
will present Canada with a gift to last.”

BECKWITH TOWNSHIP – The war to end all wars did not live up to its promise. “It is 97 years since this nation went off to what was hoped would be the war to end all wars,” said Rev. Matt Gallinger of Ashton United Church, during the Remembrance Day ceremony at Beckwith Park near Blacks Corners. “Canada has fought many wars since then.” But Gallinger pointed out
that peace does come at a price. “When our nations cannot figure out peace, we ask our men and women to make the ultimate sacrifice,” said Gallinger. “We pray that we will never have to make that call.” Students from nearby Beckwith Public School had walked along a nearby trail to take part in the ceremony, and students from Calvary Christian Academy had been bused in from Franktown.
But regardless of age, or how far they had come, Gallinger wanted them to know that the young men who left Beckwith Township did so for many reasons. “Some of them were poor and needed a job,” said Gallinger. “Some of them went seeking adventure. Some of them went because they had to. Some were the sixth son of a farmer and some had an honest desire to make the world a better place.” Reeve Richard Kidd also

used the ceremony as a learning opportunity for the many children present, pointing to Candy Fee, decked out in her military uniform, who had just laid a wreath at the cenotaph in Beckwith Park, and saluted her fallen comrades. He noted that Fee had graduated from Beckwith Public School, and had served on the township’s youth committee. “This is a girl who grew up the very same as you,” said Kidd. “Now she is in the Canadian military.”

CARLETON PLACE – The combat mission in Afghanistan may be over, and Canadian planes no longer fly the skies of Libya, but the people of Carleton Place still remembered on 11.11.11. George Wood, president of Branch 192 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Carleton Place, reminded participants at the Remembrance Day commemo-
the first and second World Wars to Korea, peacekeeping missions and Afghanistan. “They are the men and women of the Canadian armed forces, who paid the ultimate sacrifice,” said Wood. “Freedom is not free, but paid for in the blood of young men and women.” Fr. David Andrew of St. James Anglican Church, and the padre of the Carleton Place Legion, also touched upon the first moments of peace on Nov. 11, 1918. “At the 11th hour of the 11th

Beat Christmas influenza season to the punch with a flu shot
DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Christmas travel time means hugs, food, travel and the chance to spread the flu. “That’s the prime opportunity to spread any virus,” said Margaret Hendriks, manager of the clinical services department of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, with so many people on the go, meeting family, breaking bread and sharing close quarters over the holidays. But the health unit is once again holding its annual free influenza shot clinics throughout the community in the coming weeks, and no appointments are necessary. “There isn’t any active influenza activity right now,” said Hendriks. While there is no major outbreak of influenza in the region, Hendriks pointed out the higher rates of influenza activity are to be found in January, February and March, so November is prime time to get the vaccination into your system. But while family get-togethers may help spread the flu, family may also be a step in helping set the habit for getting the shot. “They’re not new-timers,” said Hendriks of the repeat customers they often get at the clinics. “They’ve done it before. It’s part of their fall to-do list … and sometimes it is a family ritual.”
Hendriks noted the health unit is expecting between 6 and 7,000 people to attend flu shot clinics in the region. She recommended that anyone who deals with young children, such as teachers, the frail and elderly, as well as emergency service personnel, including police officers, paramedics, nurses and doctors, should get the shot. Flu shots will also still be available at doctors’ offices. But the health unit is not only having to battle people’s hectic schedules in order to get them in the door – they must also contend with the frustrating stubbornness of urban myths. “‘The vaccines give you the flu’ That is the most common (myth) we hear,” said Hendriks. “It does not give you the flu. It takes two weeks for it to take effect.” So, someone getting the shot today, Nov. 17, would not be fully immunized until Nov. 31, so the flu could sneak in there in the intervening 14 days. Clinics include: • Thursday, Nov. 17: Pakenham Public School, 109 Jeanie St., Pakenham, 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. • Tuesday, Nov. 22: Lanark and District Civitan Club, 2144 Pine Grove Rd., Lanark, 3 to 6 p.m. • Thursday, Nov. 24: Carambeck Public School, 351 Bridge St., Carleton Place, 1 to 7:30 p.m. • Monday, Nov. 28: Brockville Memorial Centre, 1 Magedoma Dr., 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. • Tuesday, Nov. 29: Bethel Pen-
‘Protect yourself from the flu’ The Ontario government is encouraging everyone to avoid getting sick this flu season by getting their annual flu shot. The flu shot is a safe and effective way to stay healthy, says the government in a news release last week. “Getting the flu shot is an important way to keep our local economies strong – because a healthy workforce is a produc-
tive workforce.” The government maintains vaccine can prevent the flu in about 70 to 90 per cent of healthy children and adults. An Ontario study showed that, every year, flu vaccination eliminates the need for over 200,000 visits to doctor’s offices and 30,000 visits to hospital emergency departments. It also prevents about 300 deaths annually.

CANADIANS SPLIT ON WEEKEND Carleton Place winger Stephen Bayliss plays the body during third-period action as the Canadians took on the Gloucester Rangers in Junior A hockey on Saturday night. The hometown crowd was treated to a win once again, as the Canadians continue their climb to the top with a 4-1 win. The win came after a disappointing break in the team’s 11game winning streak the night before as the Canadians fell 8-5 to cellar-dwelling Gloucester.

While Gauthier managed to put his pads in front of the attempt, MacCosham got the last laugh with two goals and two assists on the night. Almonte tied the game 5-5, after losing to Metro Division-leading Gatineau by a tight 4-3 score at home the night before. Almonte is third in the Valley Division.

Munro tops in Fox and Hound prediction race SUBMITTED BY DIANA KING The Mississippi Running Club hosted its 22nd annual Fox and Hound Run on Sunday, Nov. 6. The course this year started and finished on the 10th Line in Beckwith and included the section of the new Beckwith Trail through to the 9th Line and back. In the Fox and Hound race, runners predict their times for five kilometres, remove their watches and set out on a staggered start. Runners predicting slower times start off first and are chased by the faster runners. Theoretically, everyone should cross the finish line at about the same time. This makes for an exciting end of the race, with the first released runners being chased down by those behind them just as the finish line comes into sight. Under sunny, ideal conditions, nine runners took part in this year’s race. The runner who crossed the line for first-place honours was Debra Munro in a net time of 28:09. Second and third places were taken by Chris Blackburn (28:26), running his first five-kilometre ever, and Anne Marie Carter-McAuslan (29:32). Jill Nugent rounded out the top four finishers with a time of 31:56.
The fastest runner of the day was Brad Jones (19:35), who had chased down and passed Steve King (20:13). An ensuing battle occurred between the two of them, with King outkicking Jones a mere five metres from the finish. The third-fastest-runner honour was claimed by Tom Kemp with a time of 22:56, while Diana King took the fastest female runner award with 25:45. Judi Agnew, running her eighth consecutive Fox and Hound race, completed the course in 32:50. The ‘Perfect Pacer’ award, honouring the runner who finishes closest to his predicted time, was awarded to Jones who was only 15 seconds under his predicted time. Other runners who ran within a minute of their predictions were Steve King (under by 17 seconds) and Diana King (over by 45 seconds). On the contrary, the dubious honour winning the 22nd annual ‘Sand Bagger’ award went to Blackburn who overestimated his time for the five-kilometre run by a whopping 5:34. The annual Fox and Hound five-kilometre prediction run is held every year on the first Sunday in November with next year’s race to be held on Nov. 5.

Alyssa Yee was selected as the athlete of the month for November by the Notre Dame Catholic High School coaching staff. Yee competes for the school year-round, playing basketball, volleyball, soccer and track as a 12x student completing her fifth year. She also plays soccer outside of school for the Mississippi United U18 competitive team.
Yee was selected as athlete of the month because of her leadership skills and work ethic on the field, and in the classroom, said athletic director Tony Quick. “She has proven to be a positive role model for younger players on her team through her dedication and work ethic,” Quick said. Next year, she hopes to attend the University of Guelph for fine arts or kinesiology, and stay involved in athletics at a recreational level.

CARLETON PLACE – Once more into the breach, dear friends. Six senior students from Notre Dame Catholic High School approached Carleton Place town council last week to, not necessarily throw down the gauntlet, but to let all know that they were preparing themselves for the journey of a lifetime to the Dominican Republic this March Break. Certainly there were some jokes about fun in the sun in the resorts of Punta Cana, but the reality is that Nick Chaloux, Danielle Derrick, Aaron Francis, Rachel Moffa, Emerald Sheridan and Kaitlin Meadows will instead be in the “barrios” or poor neighbourhoods of San Pedro de Macoris. While the six students have never been to the Dominican Republic, their teacher/ leader Adam Harper has, when he led a contingent from St. Francis Xavier High School in Ottawa. “I went through a period where I faced a lot of conflicting emotions, as I know they will,” said Harper. “We are (working) non-stop every day … It’s an action-packed week.” Some of the work they will do includes helping out at an orphanage, or picking up a shift from Haitian migrant workers in the sugar cane fields so that they can go home early and spend some time with their families. Already, fundraising activities have kicked in to high gear. Not only will there
be a fundraiser Coffee House at the school on Thursday, Nov. 24, but $575.75 has been raised from a recent barbecue, and $2,500 raised from a garage sale held Nov. 5. “Just seeing our kids haggle with the customers was great to see,” said Harper. This year, the group will also be holding its ever-popular cake auction, which will likely raise about $2,000 for the trip. “For my sins, I took part in the garage sale,” said Fr. David Andrew, the pastor at St. James’ Anglican Church, with a laugh. “I have a whole new respect for church ladies and their bazaars.” “I have never experienced such poverty,” said Mayor Wendy LeBlanc of her own trip to the Dominican Republic. “It stayed with me forever. I felt ashamed that I was enjoying myself,” at a nice resort, though Harper pointed out that tourism helps the Dominican Republic’s economy. “Prepare yourself,” said Coun. Doug Black of the conditions in the sugar cane fields. “The conditions are so bad that the Dominicans themselves won’t work in them.” In a follow-up email to the Canadian Gazette, Harper wrote that the lives of the students who participate are often changed forever, “not only making them better informed about international issues, but perhaps, more importantly, fostering a greater hunger for global justice and peace.” While such trips used to be taken to Mexico, last year was the first time that Notre Dame students journeyed to the Dominican Republic.

Local families benefit from Lions Christmas Basket program For more than 50 years, Christmas has been made a little bit brighter for hundreds of local families due to the Almonte Lions Club Christmas Basket Program. And this year is no exception. Once again, the Lions are collaborating with the Mills in providing up to 100 families with food-filled basket distributed a few days before the holidays. This unique partnership has the Almonte Lions Club soliciting businesses, organizations, groups and individuals in Mississippi Mills for donations of cash and non-perishable food items for the baskets, while the Mills gathers and provides the list of names of recipients. The two groups have been partnering in this project for the past 15 years
or so, but the Lions have worked with many other groups and organizations over the 50-plus-year history of the program. In the early days, according to veteran Lions members John Kerry and Gerry Wheatley, it was the office staff of the Town of Almonte who provided the names of those who required help at Christmas time. Over the intervening years, local churches and others such as the Hub became involved as well. Through it all the Almonte Lions Club spearheaded the fundraising for the program, purchased and gathered the food, and packed and distributed the baskets. Much of the cost of advertising has been regularly donated by CR Gamble Funeral Home and Chapel.
Lion Ken Hawkins has stepped down as project chairperson after capably overseeing it for the past decade. A new committee of Lions – Marj Gaw, Richard Evans and Carole Levine has picked up the reigns. Appeal letters have been distributed throughout Mississippi Mills and donations of cash and nonperishable food items are being accepted at the Sears outlet at the rear of Gord Pike’s new Heritage Court building on Mills Street. Charitable receipts are available for donations of $10 or more. In true community spirit, members of the Almonte Thunder Jr. B hockey club have volunteered to help pack the baskets on distribution day, Saturday, Dec. 17.
Most baskets are picked up by recipients, but a few need to be delivered. Lions president Mark Lefebvre remarked recently about “the wonderful co-operation with groups such as the Mills and the generosity of the community which has kept the Lions Christmas Basket Program thriving for so many years.” Any extra funds raised will be donated by the Lions Club to the Lanark County Food Bank. To have your name addPhoto courtesy of Carleton Place Lions Club ed to the list to receive a Christmas Food Basket, Mills community development co-ordinator Jeff please call 613-256-1031, ext.

The event, which raised $2.7 million in just two years, has quickly grown to become the top cancer fundraiser in eastern Ontario. This year, more than 715 riders – from Starbucks baristas to CEOs of major corporations – took part in the event. The top fundraising team for the second year was the Brick Peddlers, led by event champion Robert Merkley of Merkley Supply Inc. Ottawa’s construction and homebuilding industry has embraced the event – other teams recognized included ones from the Ottawa Construction Association, Minto, Boone Plumbing and Heating Supply, and PCL, among others. Individual riders who raised $10,000 or more were also inducted into the Peloton Club at the event. The top fundraiser was Mike Caletti, who raised $68,988. Other members included Dr. Joel Werier, Mike Bray, Greg Capello, Claude Des Rosiers, Roger Greenberg, David Herlihey, Greg Kane, Neil Maholtra, Brock Marshall, Robert Merkley, and Charles Armand Turpin. “The overwhelming support that we have received from some of the biggest names in the Ottawa business community shows how crucial cancer research is,” said Tim Kluke, President and
Funds raised from this year’s event are supporting a number of related cancer research initiatives, including clinical trials and the development of novel targeted therapies. “Each cancer, like each patient, is different,” said Dr. Duncan Stewart, CEO and Scientific Director of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and a Ride the Rideau participant. “By developing personalized therapies that are tailored for each patient, we will be able to give people treatments that are more likely to work from the very beginning.” Registration for Ride the Rideau 2012 has opened. To learn more about and sign up for the event, to be held Saturday, September 8, 2012, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

EQAO math test results released for the 2010-11 school year BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
Carleton Place High School and Notre Dame Catholic High School students are above the provincial average on the latest Grade 9 standardized testing, while Almonte District High School falls below average. EQAO tests are standardized, exam-style tests administered to students in Grade 3, 6 and 9. In Grade 10, students must pass a literacy test in order to graduate. The number of students writing the tests at the three local high schools was lower than some of the larger schools, which can use larger numbers to adjust the school’s average. In a smaller school, one or two very high – or very low – results are more likely to affect the school’s overall percentage of students who meet the provincial standard. Students who achieved level 3 or 4 on their tests were deemed to meet the provincial standard – while students below that cut-off were not. Provincially, 83 per cent of academic students met the standard, and 42 per cent of applied students met it. At CPHS, 87 per cent of academic students and 52 per cent of applied students achieved the standard; at NDCHS 86 per cent of academic students and 51 per cent of applied students. At ADHS, 67 per cent of academic students met the average, compared with 25 per cent of applied students. The Upper Canada board saw mixed results for
their students. At Rockland District High School, every one of the academic students met the standards, and 67 per cent of their applied students. St. Lawrence Intermediate School saw the bottom results, with a little over half of their academic students meeting the standards, and only 10 per cent of their applied. MORE THAN MATH There were a few other interesting results in the numbers. Students are asked about athletic, arts and community involvement, as well as attendance and future goals. All three schools had almost 40 per cent of the Grade 9 students expecting to complete university graduate studies (master’s, doctorate or medical degree). This wasn’t an isolated trend – schools province wide reported the same results. CPHS scored best on student attendance for math class, as well as quadruple the number of students who reported participating in clubs or organizations compared to NDCHS. The numbers of students who said they volunteered in their community was very low – zero per cent at ADHS, 1 per cent at NDCHS, and 2 per cent at CPHS. This was compared with a provincial average of only 4 per cent. ADHS definitely took the cake when it came to athletic involvement – with almost three-quarters of all students saying they participate in sports or other physical activities. NDCHS reported almost half, with 35 per cent at CPHS.

Meeting the rural hospice needs: Dignity House Hospice works to provide palliative care services Launching the Day Hospice Program Last January, Dignity House Hospice launched the day hospice program, where up to six participants with life-limiting illnesses get together once a week at the McMartin House in Perth. Scanlon, a registered nurse qualified in palliative care, directs the free, five-hour program. Clients take part in facilitated group discussions, followed by lunch and an afternoon spent completing crafts, welcoming a guest speaker or choosing a client-selected activity. A small group of qualified volunteers support Scanlon’s program as do local organizations including the Carolina Retirement Suites, Lanark Transportation Association, and the Community Home Support Lanark County. Dignity House Hospice Chair Doug Burt says the day program’s success is evident. “The social environment is a big part of getting together. Participants have an opportunity to Dignity House Hospice board members include: Colin Sangster, Board Secretary; Alanna Scanlon, Director See “Dignity” next page Day Program; Stephanie Smart, Board Treasurer; Doug Burt, Board Chair; and Sue Brown, Board Member.

home plays many roles. It meets one’s emotional, social and physical needs. It provides a calming, stable environment. It’s also a place of respect. A home’s comforts are exactly why five Perth women decided to launch a palliative care hospice initiative in Lanark County in 2008. Thus began the Dignity House Hospice dream. Alanna Scanlon, Janet Stark, Krista Marks-Cleroux, Sue Brown, and Stephanie Smart initiated the launch to the Dignity House Hospice with a mission to assist individuals diagnosed with life-limiting illnesses to live as fully as possible while maintaining their dignity and comfort, as well as provide support to their families and friends. Dignity House is a response to the growing, need for palliative care services. The program currently offers a day hospice program and the Board is working to open a local, full-time residential hospice.

Dignity House Hospice works to provide palliative care services share their hopes and concerns with others in similar circumstances; participants will sometimes express concerns they normally wouldn’t share with their caregivers,” he explains. “It’s also a chance to give the caregivers a break.” Scanlon also stays in touch with the caregivers and monitors the participant’s health, notifying their physician if needed. “When the participants are monitored crises are more likely to be avoided, their morale is up and you should have fewer visits to the emergency services and possible admission to hospital,” says Burt. “This alone has the potential to save the government thousands of dollars each year.” The day program’s launch brings the Dignity House Board of Directors to its next goal: to open a residential hospice program.
Opening a residential hospice delivers a two-fold advantage: it keeps patients with life-limiting conditions out of acute care beds, and it’s a comforting alternative for both the patient and their families not having to spend their final moments in a hospital or long-term care facility. Instead, the hospice would provide around-the-clock patient care while their loved ones can complete their relationship with their loved ones rather than be the primary caregiver “ Family support can break down due to overwhelming fatigue in the last weeks of a per-
son’s life and the patient, as well as the caregiver can end up in hospital.. There is a gap between someone staying at their home and their end of life and we want to provide that service,” explains Burt. But to make this happen, Dignity House Hospice has to acquire a residential facility within the Perth area that could accommodate three to four clients. It’s a long-term commitment, but the volunteers remain determined to create a warm, homelike environment in which the dying can live their last days with humanity and dignity.

With no such services currently offered within Lanark County, the residential hospice facility would meet a community-wide need. This is why the five women dedicated themselves to make it happen; but little did they know it would involve so much work. “Our dream was to have a residential place in our area for palliative care patients,” explains Smart, who now serves as the treasurer. “But we learned it was going to be more complicated than we thought.” The provincial government currently provides limited financial support to a few hospices in Ontario. Dignity House receives no funding and thus has to come up with the housing and operational costs. To bring the problem to the health care forefront, Dignity House Board works closely with the South East Local Health In-
tegration Network (SELHIN) Palliative Care and End of Life (PAL & EOL)Network to develop standards and procedures that will help reinforce the growing demand for a palliative care facility in Lanark County as well as lead to government funding. In the meantime, Dignity House Hospice will continue to garner local and provincial support. “The community has been very generous to date as most people recognize the need for this service. We hope that the Dignity House residential hospice in Lanark County will be a product of the community and meld with both the natural environment and the community organizations that surround it,” says Burt. Dignity House Hospice is actively seeking more members for its Board as well as volunteers within the program. Additionally there are funding opportunities.

Millions of people routinely take prescription medications or make dietary changes, such as eliminating salt from their diets, in an effort to lower blood pressure. However, for those who are interested in making some easy lifestyle changes that can result in modest reductions in blood pressure, listening to music or laughing more may do the trick. In a Japanese study presented in May at an American Heart Association meeting, researchers explained that people who took part in bimonthly group sessions built around music or laughter lowered their

systolic blood pressure (the top number in the reading, which measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) by an average of five to six points after three months. In contrast, the average blood-pressure reading in a control group that received neither therapy didn’t move. According to experts, this decline in pressure is the equivalent of what someone could expect fromadopting a low-salt diet or losing 10 pounds. The American Heart Association recommends that healthy blood pressure should be less than 120 for systolic and less than 80 for diastolic.

Coping with stress at the office things they can do to reduce the stress that often accompanies such fears. Stress is a part of most professions and can even be a good motivator. However, when stress is prolonged or excessive, the results can be very unhealthy. Men and women with high stress levels are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and cardiovascular disease. When faced with prolonged or excessive stress at the office, men and women can take the following approaches to avoid succumbing to stress. • Determine what is causing the stress. Stress triggers vary depending on the individual, so men and women who are coping with excessive stress should write down anything that causes them a negative response, whether that response is physical, emotional or mental. After a week, sit down and look at the various things that triggered these negative responses. Choose one and work to resolve it. Determine if there is a
way this trigger can be avoided. Do this with each trigger one by one. It might not be possible to successfully address each trigger, but it’s worth the try and it is likely that certain triggers can be successfully avoided. • Manage time effectively. One of the problems with an increased workload is the time in the day
to complete that work does not simultaneously increase. This reality makes it easy to become overwhelmed with stress. But a few time management techniques can help. Prioritize certain tasks, ensuring projects that are time-sensitive get done ahead of those that aren’t. When setting a schedule for work, be realistic. If a schedule isn’t realistic, that will only cause more stress. • Maintain a personal life. Effectively managing stress at work involves having a personal life away from the office. All work and no play is a recipe for stress. No matter how big a workload awaits you at the office, be sure to make time for enjoyable activities away from work. Spend time with friends and family, plan a weekend getaway or simply relax at home. Such time, even if it’s not as often as you might like, makes dealing with stress at the office that much easier to handle. • Remain physically active.
Exercise is a great remedy for stress. In fact, the American Psychological Association notes that studies have suggested physically active people have lower rates of anxiety and depression than sedentary people. While research is ongoing, some researchers feel exercise enhances the body’s ability to respond to stress. In addition, exercise seems to give the body practice at dealing with stress. While exercising, the body’s physiological systems are forced to communicate with one another. These same systems must also communicate with one another when responding to stress. Regular exercise helps the body communicate more efficiently, something that helps when the time comes to respond to stress. Stress at the office is likely always going to be a concern for working men and women. However, there are ways to effectively cope with stress no matter how daunting a workload might be.

he workers of the world are working more. So says an annual study of employee benefit trends from MetLife. In 2010, 40 percent of employees admitted their workload had increased compared with the previous year. While there are many reasons that can account for a heavier workload at the office, heavy layoffs in countries across the globe has, in many instances, left those who weren’t laid off with extra work. And companies might be surprised to know just how much this approach isn’t working. TheMetLife study also found that 68 percent of employees surveyed reported that the quality of their work had suffered and that fear of losing their jobs played a significant role in how well they did their jobs. While employees might not be able to quell their fears of one day being laid off, there are

The connection between oral health and overall health aintaining good oral health may be more important than you realize Mounting scientific evidence suggests that there is a link between oral health and a person’s overall health. Having healthy teeth and gums isn’t a given. If your gums are puffy, red and bleed easily, you have gingivitis, a serious gum infection that destroys the gums and progresses to periodontitis which destroys the bone that supports your teeth. Signs and symptoms can include: swollen gums, bright red or purplish gums that feel tender when touched and may be receding, bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth and possible loose teeth. Bacteria from your mouth enters your bloodstream and flows throughout your body making you at risk for HEART ATTACK or STROKE or other serious health problems, like diabetes. The good news is, prevention is
in your hands. Learn what you’re up against, and then take charge of your oral health. Oral Cancer, the only thing worse that seeing oral cancer is missing it! Oral Cancer gets less publicity than any other cancer types, but it is common and can be a terrible disease. Its detection falls within the realm of the dental professional. Detection and treatment of oral cancer is an opportunity to save a life. Oral cancer is usually detected far too late for conservative treatment which causes the following dismal statistics. The survival rate is between 80% and 90% when oral cancer is caught early, but that rate plummets to around 30% when the condition is caught late. Your dental professional should provide a thorough oral cancer screening at least once a year simply by looking for changes in the mouth that might signal the beginnings of cancer. A thorough head and neck examination should be part of each patient’s dental hygiene visit.
Your dental professional should provide a thorough oral cancer screening at least once a year simply by looking for changes in the mouth that might signal the beginnings of cancer.

Suspicious lesions are biopsied to determine the exact characteristics and then analyzed by an oral pathologist before any final decision can be made about the state of the suspicious lesion.

Avoid succumbing to cold and u season he arrival of winter coincides with the arrival of other things as well. The holiday season. Snow days from school. Weekends spent skiing and snowboarding with family and friends. While each of those things is something to look forward to, one thing also synonymous with winter is never welcomed with open arms. Cold and u season has an impact on nearly every household each winter, forcing kids and adults alike to put life on hold as they rest and recover. To many people, u shots are enough to keep them going strong through cold and u season, but not everyone has access to u shots. Even those who do might still get colds if they don’t take steps to stay healthy when the mercury drops. This winter, people wanting to avoid the worst of cold and u season can take several precautions to reduce their risks of getting a cold or the u.
Spending time outdoors and dressing properly are two ways to reduce risk for cold and u.
Around the House People can take several steps to make their homes safer and warmer, which should help them reduce their risk of cold and u. Winterizing a home is perhaps the best thing a homeowner can do to make a home safer and warmer.
Install storm windows and caulk around doors and windows to keep warm air in the home and prevent cold air from coming in. If winter has yet to arrive, inspect the heating system. If winter has already arrived, schedule an inspection as soon as possible. Make sure the system is working properly. Ideally, the heating system should be serviced by a professional to ensure the ventilation is working properly. Homeowners with functioning ďŹ replaces in their homes should have the ďŹ replace inspected and cleaned before using it for the ďŹ rst time.

The Olympian was one of three Canadian skiers in the FIS-sanctioned 10-km freestyle race, which was held on saved “leftover” snow from last season. The snow, which was hard-packed and stored under sawdust for the season, formed the two-and-a-half-km track, which Cross County Canada called in a press release “challenging conditions for many of the world’s best 100 athletes.” She placed 20th, a good finish for Jones in a distance event.

sprint races, but it is super important to get these distance races in,” said Jones in the release. “Many of the best sprinters in the world are all strong distance skiers too, so you got to do them.” Her time was 25 minutes and 37 seconds, just over a minute more than the winner, Sweden’s Charlotte Kalla. “It was a good start for me today and tells me that my training in the summer and fall has been good,” said Jones in the release. “My confidence is a lot higher than last year. I’m looking forward to the season.” The World Cup season is scheduled to get started this coming weekend in Norway. Last year, Jones placed 12th in the World Cup finals, the best of her career. Jones currently trains in Alberta, but can often be seen in Almonte at community events, or roller skiing in the back roads, in her breaks from training.

CARLETON PLACE – Independent ladies, where you at? Oh, you’ll likely be at Violet Femmes: Girls Night Out, of course, to benefit the Lanark County Interval House on Saturday, Nov. 18. Sure, where else would you be, with your best girl friends, at the Almonte and District Community Centre’s upper hall at 182 Bridge St., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m., fine dining at 7:30 p.m. and dancing with DJ Jack Donovan at 9:30 p.m. And by that, we mean that you and your ladies will be on the floor dancing, DJ Jack will be spinning the vinyl. “This is our Almonte event,” said Erin Lee-Todd, executive director of Lanark County Interval House, during a donation presentation at Static Hair Salon in Carleton Place on Nov. 10. “It is the calibre of the event,” she added, that has seen to it that it has sold out all four years. “In years past, it’s been carried by volunteers,” said LeeTodd. “We had some challenges this year with people dropping out and so staff had to step up.” Part of what makes the evening so successful is that “it’s about women working with women for women,” said Lee-Todd. The evening is not entirely-free of testosterone, but what little there is is relevant, and usually doesn’t stay past 9 p.m. Then-Mississippi Mills Mayor Al Lunney was a guest of honour at the first event, and the DJ and wait staff are male, but the serving gents usually clear out after the coffee and dessert has been taken up. “The women just have a dance floor and a party (then),” said
Lee-Todd. The catering will be provided by J.R.’s restaurant, and there will be raffle tickets available on the night as well. Tickets are $50 each, and can be ordered online at lcih.org/ violet-femmes, or in person from Lily White at White Light in the Heritage Court in Almonte or by calling 613-256-7799. Every dollar raised goes towards helping women and their families who are often, literally, in life-or-death situations. “The funding that we receive does not keep up,” said Lee-Todd, pointing to rising costs like groceries, gas and utilities. Public education and the volunteer fundraiser are not covered by provincial government funding. “The ministry does not fund public education,” said LeeTodd. “They want to fund direct programming … (But) in order to prevent violence against women, we have to educate people.” While the only balancing the waiters will have to worry about on the Violet Femmes night will be making sure the soup doesn’t get spilled, Lee-Todd has to worry about more real-world concerns. “Every two weeks, I look at the time sheets and see that people are staying within their hours,” said Lee-Todd. “There’s a bottom line where you have to figure ‘What do I change, what do I drop?’” But for as difficult as it is for her to balance things out, she knows that the women who are escaping from an abusive relationship have it far worse. “It’s a struggle to restart your life,” said Lee-Todd. Static donated a purse full of goodies, as well as $3,200 worth of bracelets for the evening’s attendees to get “blinged out” in.

a make-up air system; • material safety data sheets for controlled products were not readily available to workers; • housekeeping practices were not adequate to control dust hazards; • Kozuchowski failed to ensure that workers wore respirators. One of the orders, issued March 4, 2010, was a stop-work order on the spray booth due to inadequate air flow. Kozuchowski admitted in Perth court that he continued using the spray booth despite the stop-work order. Kozuchowski was found guilty of 15 counts of failing to comply with an order issued by an inspector. On Oct. 28, he was fined $3,000 for failing to comply with the stop-work order and $1,000 for failing to comply with each of 14 additional orders. The fines were imposed by Justice of the Peace Jacques Desjardins. In addition to the fines, the court imposed a 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge, as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

The Ontario Ministry of Labour reports in a news release that Waldemar Kozuchowski, sole proprietor of Infinity Marble of Canada, has been fined $17,000 for failing to comply with inspectors’ orders. Ministry inspectors visited Kozuchowski’s synthetic marble and granite manufacturing company in Carleton Place on May 22, 2009. They say they noticed several health and safety violations and issued orders for the business to comply with the legislation. Inspectors made several follow-up visits, but the violations remained and they say they had to write more orders. Between May 22, 2009 and May 5, 2010, inspectors wrote 23 orders for various violations. Of those orders, 15 were not complied with, the ministry says. They mostly related to the following violations: • flammable liquids were improperly stored; • the mixing area was not properly ventilated; • there was no system to contain spills; • the spray booth was missing

It can be the best of time and it can be the worst of times. The Christmas season is full of opportunities to celebrate with family and friends, to feel connected with others and with our community. It can also be an incredibly stressful and depressing time if you’re struggling to overcome the trauma of an abusive relationship. Sometimes just putting food on the table is challenging enough for women who are rebuilding their lives, never mind the added pressure of having to create a magical Christmas morning for the kids. Luckily, Lanark County is a community that rallies around its most vulnerable members with a strength and enthusiasm that is unrivaled in other parts of the country. Every year people come together and generously donate to the women and children who rely on the services of Lanark County Interval House. That level of community support makes a world of difference in the lives of our women and children. This year, the shelter has some particular requests that would be most helpful to its clients for those in our community who want to help: • New, unopened toys (for any age

The place to be on the evening of Sunday, Nov. 6 for holiday fashions, gourmet hors d’ouvres and tantalizing desserts was Mahogany Salon and Spa. From the minute you drove up the driveway to Mahogany, you knew that Christmas was just around the corner. With 200 in attendance, including Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, Mahogany Salon and Spa hosted the charity event in support of the efforts of the Carleton Place Hospital Ladies Auxiliary as it strives to raise $1 million to be committed to the new Carleton Place Hospital. Mary Cook, author, public speaker and long time resident of Carleton Place, opened the event, entitled ‘Fabulous Holiday Fashions’, with wonderful reminiscing stories of friends who enjoyed skating on the quarry where Mahogany Salon and Spa is now situated. Mahogany Salon and Spa, which opened in Stittsville in June 2004, added its Carleton Place location this November. Fifteen local women volunteered to model the wonderful holiday fashions that were handpicked by proprietor Bonnie McBain of Bonnie and Company. They were transformed into models by the hair and make-up professionals at Mahogany Salon and Spa. The premises were decked out for the occasion with every room adorned in a winter wonderland of reds and purples for the rapidly approaching holiday season. A great evening of merriment was enjoyed by all, resulting in $7,000 to be presented to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Carleton Place Hospital. Fashions for a Cause was a wonderful example of local businesses come togeth-

Cancer will attack over 173,000 of us this year. It does not discriminate. It has taken our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers, our children and our friends. Cancer is relentless. But so are we. We are the Canadian Cancer Society and we are fighting back. We have more impact against more cancers in more communities than any other cancer charity in Canada, yet there is still so much more we need to do. Cancer threatens us all. But we reject cancer’s attempts to strike the lives of so many Canadians. That’s why we promise to do everything we can to prevent cancer. We promise to save
lives.
And
we
promise
to
empower, inform and support those living with this disease. We fight back by funding clinical trials and research into
better
treatments
and
cures.
We educate and advocate. And we encourage Canadians to volunteer and donate. To some, the daffodil is just a flower. To us, it is a symbol of strength and courage, a symbol of life. It says we will not give up. It says we will fight back. It says we will beat cancer.
Are you ready to join the fight?

Junior Citizen nomination deadline nears Devon Sicard of Carleton Place is the epitome of a good citizen. The Notre Dame Catholic High School graduate was an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year nominee last year. The deadline for nominating a junior good citizen this year is Wednesday, Nov. 30. “Support our leaders of tomorrow by nominating someone today,” urges the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which the Canadian Gazette is a member. For many years, the prestigious Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program has acknowledged the best of Ontario’s youth. But the public’s help is needed to continue to recognize outstanding young people. That’s why people are urged to nominate someone aged 6-17 years, who are either: • involved in worthwhile community service; • contributing to the community while living with a disability; • performed an act of heroism in the past year; • ‘good kids’ who show a commitment to making life better. Sicard, the daughter of
Devon Sicard receives an Ontario Junior Citizen Certificate from Canadian Gazette news editor John Carter in recognition of her outstanding community and school contributions. Photo by Brier Dodge Ivan and Bonita Sicard of Carleton Place, was nominated last year because of her outstanding contributions to her community and school. She surpassed the school mandatory community service requirements tenfold, amassing more than 400 hours. She volunteered many hours at the Carleton Place Daycare and was a peer tutor. At Notre Dame, she has been on student council since Grade 9 and served a term as president. She also was an active member of the Social Justice and Environmental clubs
and the school band. Her principal, Dave Chaplin, supported her junior citizen nomination, calling her resourceful, hard-working, innovative and intelligent. “The community of Notre Dame is fortunate to have people like Devon and recognizing her with this award encourages other to follow in her footsteps,” he wrote. Nomination forms are available at the Canadian Gazette office in Carleton Place, online at www. ocna.org or by emailing jr.citizen@ocna.org.
