MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Council will remain, for now, the same size through the next election in 2014. The 11-member council met at a special meeting Monday night to discuss reducing its size, which is one of the largest in the area. A 2005 staff report suggested that council cut down from 11 to 7 with a mayor, deputy mayor, two councillors representing Almonte, two councillors representing Ramsay and one councillor representing Pakenham. An operational review by Wilson and Wade in 2000 recommended this structure, and stated it was “the model that best accomplishes the goal of a small council and greater accountability to the whole municipality, while retaining a ward system.” Photo by Brier Dodge Council is currently fairly large for a town of a similar population, with 10 councillors and a mayor. The mayor is elected to serve at County Council, with the councillors choosing one other councillor Daniel Scott cheers from a recycling bin, shortly after watching a waste reduction presentation and show by Junkyard Symphony. They were at all Mississippi Mills elementary to serve alongside the mayor. A bylaw to streamline council didn’t get passed schools last week for waste reduction week. For more photos, see page 3. in 2005 because of several factors, different councillors said. Part of the issue was a landowner’s meeting hosted in Pakenham with great opposition, said Coun.

CARLETON PLACE – It was 25 years ago that Rick Hansen historically crossed 34 counties in his wheelchair. The original 1986 Man in Motion World Tour was to increase awareness of the potential of people with disabilities. The 25th anniversary tour started Aug. 24 in Cape Spear, Newfoundland, and will travel through over 600 Canadian communities, re-enacting the Canadian portion.
The celebration, the Man In Motion tour, will be coming through Carleton Place this Saturday to mark the anniversary. There are seven medal-bearers that will be representing the Carleton Place area. Noella Klawitter, a legally blind athlete training for the 2012 London Paralympics, was the first medal bearer selected by the town of Carleton Place. Six other medal-bearers were selected by the Man in Motion tour, based on applicants. One of the medal-bearers is Shannon Munro, who stood out-

She was only nine at the time, and will return this year as an official part of the relay. They are just two of the many runners who will be participating in Day 67 of the nation-wide tour, along with Carleton Place’s Brayden Durant, Taylor Little, Eric Baker, Mike Brydges and Connie Shaw. The runners will come into the area from Stittsville, heading

to McNeely Avenue and then, at about 1 p.m., turn onto Franktown Road. The relay will continue through town, travelling down Franktown Road through to Bridge Street, ending at the Carleton Place town hall at about 1:20 p.m. About an hour later, the relay will resume, heading the opposite way down Bridge Street and Franktown Road to Hwy 15, on the way to Smiths Falls. The public are invited to come to show their support for the relay.
Public urged to be on lookout for taxidermed bear
Continued from front There was some vandalism, including destruction of a taxidermied snowy owl, and theft of all the electronics in the building, said O’Grady. The worst theft of all was the rare bear though, a highlight for many of the centre’s visitors, especially those from urban schools. “The kids loved him, they could see his claws,” said O’Grady. “He totally enriched these kids’ experiences.” Bruno was on loan to the Ministry of Natural Resources for a
few years, but returned back to the centre last year. Many of the visitors would leave with a photo of themselves, alongside the real life bear. The large bear won’t be easy to hide, standing at a full five feet tall. “We’re hoping he doesn’t meet the same fate as the lady owl,” said O’Grady. Because Bruno is so large, staff are hopeful that someone sees him and calls the Mill of Kintail or OPP to report his whereabouts, or anonymously wish to return him. “It’s kind of hard to hide
him, unless he’s been placed in the woods,” O’Grady said. It would be difficult to replace Bruno, because, beside the costs of the taxidermist, it could take years to locate an appropriate bear. If anyone has information about his disappearance or a possible replacement, call 613-256-3610. “I loved it, so when I heard that they took him, that’s my fear is that they’re going to destroy him,” O’Grady said. “Because they don’t see the experiences that we have.”
Ocean Wave Fire Company hosts baseball in support of Carleton Place Hospital
“We are so honoured that the Ocean Wave Fire Company decided to organize this event on our behalf and we would like to offer our congratulations on the Tournament’s success,” stated Chantelle Troy, Manager/ Community Relations Officer of the CPDMH Foundation. “Both the Hospital and the Foundation have a great relationship with the members of the Fire Company and we are very thankful for this wonderful gift.” “It was a great day for the tournament and we would like to thank all the local emergency service providers that came out to participate in the event. We would also like to thank the Lion’s Club for hosting the barbeque during lunch which added to the enjoyment of tournament,” stated Matt Anderson, Member of the Ocean Wave Fire Company and Tournament Organizer. “All of the Ocean Wave Fire Fighters are very committed to the Hospital and we are very pleased to be able to make this donation. We hope to host the Ball Tournament again next
This ad is generously underwritten by the
year and build on the success we achieved.” A portion of the funds raised from the Lanark County Emergency Services Charity Ball Tournament were used to purchase a new television for the Hospital’s recovery room. The remainder of the funds will be used to help purchase a new ultrasound machine for the Emergency Department. The new machine will allow the Hospital to better treat and diagnosis the patients visiting the Emergency Department and is estimated to cost $79,000. With the baseball tournament complete, the Ocean Wave Fire Company has started planning a Hockey Tournament also in support of CPDMH. The tournament, scheduled for Saturday January 14, will be held at the Carleton Place Arena and organizers have issued invitations asking emergency service providers in Lanark County to participate.
The Lanark County Emergency Services Charity Hockey Tournament will be open to 8 teams and will also include a silent auction. The Ocean Wave Fire Company is hoping to make both the ball and hockey tournament annual events in its calendar.

Man in Motion to tour through Carleton Place Saturday
Mississippi Mills
Community conversation generates proposals for MM priorities BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – About 70 community members gathered Saturday to discuss Mississippi Mill’s top priorities. “This is democracy in action,” said facilitator Brin Sharp, who was hired from Intersol to lead the session. Participants got their thinking caps on after a presentation from Hastings County economic development manager An-
drew Redden. Redden has been in charge of many successful programs that the county has launched, leading it to win awards for investment marketing. “We essentially won the Stanley Cup of economic development awards,” he said. Its most successful program is the enterprise facilitation, said Redden. Hastings County hired a small business coach to meet with residents who are just starting, or think-
ing of starting, a business to provide free advice and mentorship. Since the creation of the program, more than 100 new businesses have opened in Hasting County, creating over 200 jobs. The tourism development program also helped to attract visitors across the county with unique events and strong brand marketing – “communities with opportunities” is the county slogan. After getting something
Council split over plan to reduce members
Continued from front Coun. Ferguson was strongly for shrinking council size. “We’re the laughing stock of the province, the way we are,” he said. “My vote will be 2-2-1 plus two and I’m not changing my mind, thank you very much.” Mayor Levi was on the same side, and said that when he campaigned doorto-door and asked residents what they thought about council size, 90 per cent said that there were too many. “I’m definitely in favour, that’s not a surprise to anyone here,” he said. “Certainly a council of seven can run a town of 10,000. We need to trust our voters that they can pick the best people to send here.” Coun. Paul Watters was against eliminating councillor positions because the diversity of a larger council is favourable. “Everyone can bring a different opinion to the table; once you get down to five (councillors) you can not deal with it,” he said. “The full concept that you have new people come in is very important.” Coun. John Edwards was also opposed to reducing council size, re-iterating the fact that he wanted a diverse council. “Reducing the number in an area that’s 525 square kilometers becomes quite problematic,” he said. “The more people you have at the table, the better our whole decisions are.” There was some heated discussion over the validity of a 2005 staff report, with Coun. Val Wilkinson questioning the way the report was writ-
ten. She asked to go on record to state there were citizens at the public meeting who were opposed to the change of council size. Following discussion, Dalgity read a recommendation that council authorize the preparation of a bylaw to reduce the council size to seven members in 2014. The authorization of a bylaw would have meant that there would be a public meeting held, and the bylaw voted on later. “This motion does not write it down in stone, but it gets the process in motion,” said Dalgity. However, the motion was defeated 6-5. Councillors opposed to the motion were Duncan Abbott, Shaun McLaughlin, Bernard Cameron, Watters, Wilkinson and Edwards. Some of the councillors who voted against the motion were in favour of reducing council size, but were not happy forward with the structure that was presented, or wanted more time to speak with residents. Councillors Ferguson, Dalgity, Alex Gillis, Rick Minnille and Mayor Levi all voted in favour of moving forward with the bylaw. Coun. McLaughlin was hopeful there could still be another format, saying another special meeting to bring forward other options could be held, as council does have until Dec. 31, 2013 to make the final decision. “Maybe we’ll go to our operational review; they’ll probably come up with the same thing,” said Mayor Levi. “But we have lots of time.”

to think about from Redden, participants divided into four different development focus groups: environmental, social, economic and cultural. The groups discussed top strategies for improving development in Mississippi Mills, before selecting their priorities. After the groups combined and presented what they discussed and decided on, the whole gathering gave input on what they thought priorities should be. The environmental group said top priorities are to increase waste diversion; create a parks, recreation and open space master plan; and review existing zoning, bylaws, building standards in context of lead criteria. The social group’s top priorities are to develop a parks, recreation and culture community master plan; continue to diversify housing; and lifelong and integrated learning.

There was a great turnout for Mississippi’s Mills’ community conversation, hosted at the Almonte Old Town Hall on Oct. 22. The pictured group, one of four, debates what the top priorities should be in the town’s development. The economic group had its first priority as hiring an economic development officer for the town, followed by generating an economic development plan and developing a brand for Mississippi Mills and wards to use in signs. Cultural group priorities are to create a cultural plan that feeds into an economic development plan and improve co-ordination and communication between
arts and culture groups. Its third and fourth priorities are to identify key cultural strengths for effective branding and build a physical cultural centre. The groups were able to mix and mingle after the session to further discuss ideas over lunch. Many members of town council, and town staff, were in attendance to contribute to the discussions and note the community feedback.

No new bylaw enforcement vehicles, staff in draft CP 2012 budget Preliminary budget sees 5.9 per cent tax hike, public meeting called for Nov. 1 DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Taxpayers could face a 5.9 per cent municipal tax increase under the draft budget. However, the first rough cut of the 2012 Carleton Place budget, presented by treasurer Phil Hogan to the corporate services committee meeting in the council chambers Oct. 18, is by no means the final say on the matter. Already, town council has begun paring away at some of the proposed spending increases in the budget. “We told the manager, ‘don’t put in fluff,’” said Mayor Wendy LeBlanc during a telephone interview later in the week. Hogan had set aside $30,000 for the purchase of a second bylaw enforcement vehicle, but town council voted this down, as did the hiring of a second full-time bylaw enforcement officer. “We didn’t feel it was necessary,” said LeBlanc. “It costs more money than it creates revenue,” said Coun. Louis Antonakos during the
meeting. Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg admitted that if the bylaw enforcement department wanted to move away from a complaintdriven form of enforcement to a more active enforcement, that that would require more boots on the ground and resources. Coun. Gary Strike put forward the novel suggestion that bylaw enforcement officers could use police bicycles as an alternative form of transportation. A public meeting on the budget will be held Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. at the town hall. Elsewhere in the budget it was noted that some upgrades do need to be carried out on both technological and physical infrastructure at town hall. Hogan has budgeted about $15,000 for a new phone system. “(The existing system is an) early 1990s vintage,” said Hogan. “It is in need of upgrading with all of the current technologies.” Old-fashioned technologies are not being left out, however, with $2,500 being allocated for a new postage machine. “We don’t lick stamps here,” said Hogan, before pointing out
that the town mails out between 20,000 and 30,000 pieces of mail with Canada Post each year. A further $35,000 has been set aside for exterior repairs to the town hall, but these will be drawn from a reserve fund. “We’ve had a review done on the exterior of the building, but we don’t have that report back,” said Hogan as to why there was not a firm renovation cost number. The report should be at town hall in a few weeks. “A full roof replacement will be required, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon,” added Coun. Rob Probert. Repair work for the Carleton Place arena continues with $12,500 raised so far. “We’ve always said we would match any money raised,” said Hogan, reminding potential donors that their money can now go further. Coun. Jerry Flynn also pointed out another top priority is hanging over them, literally, the balcony in the town hall’s auditorium, which also needs some work, and for which fundraising is already under way, including a charity coun-

try and western revue at the Carleton Place arena Sunday. While the country music show got people moving their feet, Hogan has also set aside about $50,000 to expand the town’s walking trail system, with the hopes of extending it from WalMart to the water tower. About $15,000 has been earmarked to help the town comply with disability legislation. “There is legislation where we have to upgrade for accessibility,” said Hogan of the money to provide accessible counters in the town’s canteen, amongst other improvements. Another $7,500 is required for splash pad upgrades at Riverside Park, along with $20,000 to extend the roof of the storage building. Road work seems to be neverending in any municipality and next summer, Carleton Place’s roads will be no exception. While this year, Beckwith Street got an overhaul, a $435,000 construction job on the 1916circa water and sewer pipes on Frank Street will be dealt with, while $165,000 has been allocated
for Mill Street, the same amount that is set aside for work on Victoria Street. Another street that will likely see some improvements is Bridge Street, with $150,000 that could go towards anything from a new crosswalk to a set of signals. Further south, Hogan indicated future consideration may have to be paid to the intersection of Franktown Road and Coleman Street. “The left turn has been an issue since the lights went in,” said Hogan. “There is road block.” Sonnenburg pointed out the new Tim Hortons restaurant on the northwest corner had added to the congestion problem at that intersection. “If that can’t be considered an increase in traffic, I don’t know what can be,” said Sonnenburg. “There are hundreds of cars that go to Tim’s each morning before they go to work.” Chief administrative officer Paul Knowles noted a future widening of Coleman Street is a possibility with increased traffic flow.

Canadian Cancer Society Wheels of Hope campaign is just shy of reaching its halfway mark Canadian Cancer Society Wheels of Hope campaign is just shy of reaching its halfway mark The Canadian Cancer Society of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville has only two more months to reach its fundraising goal of $25,000. To date, 48 percent or $11,885 has been raised. The Canadian Cancer Society Wheels of Hope is a new fundraising campaign that will help raise much needed money for its local transportation program. “About 40 donors and businesses have come forward already to support this local initiative,” said Thora Pugh, Unit President. “But we still need more donations from the public to help fund local transportation. The need for the Canadian Cancer Society Transportation Program locally is growing on average of 24 new clients each month. Wheels of Hope provides patients in need of cancer treatment with a ride to the facility where their particular treatment is offered. The program is especially important to people without vehicles, a driver’s license, local family and friends to help, or the financial means to make the sometimes daily trips to Kingston or Ottawa. The average cost for the Canadian Cancer Society to take a patient from Lanark, Leeds & Grenville to their treatment is just over $60 a trip due to

the long distances traveled. “The communities of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville have always been very generous to the Canadian Cancer Society, says Pugh. “If we can get more people to give what they can, we’ll reach our goal. It’s not the size of gift to Wheels of Hope that matters, what matters is that people support their neighbours who might not otherwise be able to get to their life saving cancer treatments.

Safety should be front and centre Halloween night
Scotland’s tyrant meets Libya’s strongman
Looking out for the vampires and ghosts, witches and zombies, and keeping them safe from all the “normal” people sounds like the role of a character some sort of sci-fi horror movie. But that’s a role that everyone should take this Halloween, regardless of what costume you may be sporting. Halloween is the night of the year that almost every child in the community can excitedly run from house to house, collecting candy. That makes it important for drivers to remember it’s very easy for a small child, loaded up on Halloween sugar, to run into the street without first looking. Anyone driving on Halloween evening needs to be aware that this isn’t a regular night of the week, and while normal safety precautions, such as not texting-and-driving, should always be followed, it is especially true on Oct. 31. Imagine how easy it would be to turn sending a quick text on the phone into a disaster if the look down means to miss seeing your four-year-old neighbour, dressed in head-to-toe as a vampire in a black costume, dart into the street. Nothing could be scarier. It’s important for parents to remember traffic risks as well, and incorporate reflective material or a bright colour whenever possible. Another option for trick-or-treaters’ parents is a flashlight, equipping kids with a solo headlight of their own. The best way to convince kids to keep close to the houses is to promote route optimization – the less walking, the quicker the route, and the more houses the kids can get to. Kids, parents and drivers all need to take responsibility this Monday evening. Halloween should be a night to remember for all the right reasons.

They may not have known it, but the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre’s production of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth on the weekend was impressive in its timeliness. The same week that Col. Muammar Gaddafi was killed outside of his hometown of Sirte, Libya as he tried to flee, ending his 42-year rule, the young people were transporting those of us in the audience at the Carleton Place town hall auditorium Friday back to medieval Scotland. Miles apart, but as I watched the action unfold in front of me with my lovely wife Stacey, I noticed that there were some very interesting parallels. Firstly – and I don’t think I’m giving away the twist ending here by any means – Macbeth, by this point the Thane of Cawdor (basically a Scottish earl), kills King Duncan in his sleep. Gaddafi, meanwhile, “usurped” the crown, waiting until Libya’s King Idris was in Turkey seeking medical attention, before launching a bloodless coup in 1969. (Macduff says as such in Act 5, scene 8, as he enters holding Macbeth’s head, exclaiming, “Behold, where stands the usurper’s cursed head: the time is free.” Now, Libyans are lined up around the block to see their former ruler’s lifeless body in some store freezer.) Secondly, we see the steely Lady Macbeth, the power behind the throne, become increasingly mentally unhinged as the play progresses, before ultimately killing herself. King Macbeth also sees Banquo’s ghost at the banquet, a sign that the pressure of having him bumped off is taking its toll on his faculties.

foreign lands, before both men ultimately meet a bloody end at the hands of those they had oppressed for so long. Now, certainly, we shouldn’t look to Shakespeare for historical accuracy. There are those who feel that the real King Macbeth’s rule was fair and just, that he was a good king for Scotland, and that the play bears little resemblance to reality (but then, politicians still make that remark today). King Macbeth’s supporters aren’t alone in feeling that their monarch was the victim of a literary drive-by (now there’s an image: “Quills pens at the ready and let fly boys!”). Supporters of
King Richard III also feel that Shakespeare did them no great justice either. I certainly must say that the young man playing the title role was most impressive in his facial expressions, the power of his voice and his great acting. And Lady Macbeth’s role was also aptly played, coldly and calculatingly, which required great skill, which was certainly in evidence in the theatre-in-the-round setting. An evening at the theatre with a well-acted play – a chance to get away from it all but, thanks to the youngster’s skill, also a chance to see that, really, dictators never learn. R0011119077

Macbeth play brings Gaddafi to mind Continued from Page 8 Many have commented recently that, by the end of his days, Gaddafi looked nothing like the fresh-faced, dashing even, military man of the early ‘70s. Some even speculated that he had schizophrenia, which might explain a few things, including his incomprehensible ‘Green Book’. (While reading James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake (1939) is just as impenetrable, at least reading that book is an elective. In Libya, Gaddafi’s book was required reading). Both Macbeth and Gaddafi drove opposition to them abroad, forcing many to flee their rules and plot their overthrows from

CPHS students see Broadway-bound Jesus Christ Superstar in Stratford TRACY BARTON Carleton Place High School
Forty-five students from Carleton Place High School enjoyed the amazing productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, The Grapes of Wrath, and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at the Stratford Festival Oct. 13 and 14. This was the fifth year that the high school has taken a group of students to the Stratford Festival. World-renowned for its productions of Shakespearean plays, the Stratford Festival is the world’s largest repertoire theatre company. Over the past five years, students from Carleton Place High School have seen many of Shakespeare’s most famous plays such as Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night. The CPHS students have also seen musicals as varied as The Music Man, West Side Story and this year’s spectacular Jesus Christ Superstar. The reviews for the Stratford production of Jesus Christ Superstar have been spectacular and Andrew Lloyd Webber actually came from London to see the production sev-
eral times. The Stratford production is now heading to Broadway. The rock opera still carries about it the feeling of the 1970s, but has been revamped for the modern audience. The CPHS students left the theatre singing the soundtrack! They will be able to claim they saw it first before it hit Broadway. Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath is a thoughtful and compassionate view of the plight of the Okies during the Great Depression. The Stratford Theatre Company provided the students with a compelling and moving version of the novel with amazing sets - including a fully loaded truck that moved around the stage as the characters were forced to move from place to place. The CPHS students were also witness to an extremely funny version of Twelfth Night, which included a rock opera feel and guest appearances by John Lennon and the Beatles. This production was particularly fun for the students as most of them had previously studied the play. A highlight of the trip was a tour of the Costume Ware-
cting The Conne
Link
house. This warehouse is used to house more than 50,000 costumes from past plays. The tour guide was able to provide the students with many backstage secrets and tips for creating props and costumes. The guide saved the best for last, as the students were allowed to try on a variety of costumes and take pictures of themselves and their friends in a wide number of period pieces. This is a trip that provides wonderful memories for a lifetime and has led some previous students to summer theatre programs in StratPhoto courtesy Tracy Barton ford.

New tenants, neighbours get first glance at new seniors housing desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – Evelyn Pitcher can now wave hello to her husband. From the balcony of her brand new apartment in the second phase of the Town and Country apartment buildings on Country Street, she can sometimes see her husband Albert in the nursing home nearby. “You go out to your deck and I’ll go out to mine and we’ll wave to each other,” Evelyn recounted her husband telling her when they got the good news that she was one of 20 lucky winners for a lottery to determine who would be getting apartments in the recently completed complex. Evelyn was taking part in a public open house for new residents and neighbours to come out and see the facility, which will be officially opened in November. “I’m so pleased, I hope I can get in quickly,” said Evelyn as she toured what will become her new home, as her youngest son, Paul, a contractor, got busy making measurements around the apartment for drapes and appliances. “I’m tired of waiting … It’s so bright and so roomy and they’ve done a really good job planning. Wouldn’t it be lovely to come home to something like this. Oh, my.” The Pitchers had lived on Spring Street for about 16 years, but a recent illness separated the couple when Albert had to go into the nursing home. Evelyn would have loved to have had her husband with her and moved in together, but that will likely not be possible. “I’ll never have him with me again and I’ve come to terms
with it and so has he,” said Evelyn quietly. But Evelyn does not have too much time to miss her husband these days. “I have to downgrade 60 years of stuff,” she says with a nervous laugh as she surveyed the apartment. The need for appropriate housing for seniors is something that is still on Pitcher’s mind, even though she is grateful to be one of the lucky ones. “It’s too bad that there wasn’t more of these units for people in Almonte,” she said. “There are so many people who need them but there’s probably people (who are) in a lot worse shape and we do have to be grateful for what God has given us.” Evelyn had her name on the list for phase two for about five years, and she certainly put in her sweat equity to the place, having volunteered with the Mills Community Support Corporation for 20 years, and with the Canadian Red Cross for 20 years before that. “What goes around, comes around,” said Evelyn. “You have to give back to the community.” The original plan had been to add to the original phase one of the building about seven years ago. “There was a call to build and they looked at building but there were too many obstacles, so it was shelved,” said Lee Brebner, chairman of the board of directors of the Mills Community Support Corporation. Later, the corporation asked for 40 units under a new proposal, but were only able to secure funding for about 20. “There was so much demand in north Lanark County, so we (decided) we would build 20 and then add on (later),” said Breb-
ner. “There is so much demand for it with an aging population.” Brebner commended architect Peter Mansfield for his architectural work on the plans for the facility, which includes wheelchair accessible apartments. “Having buildings like this keeps people out of long term care facilities,” said Brebner. There was a lottery held in August for the 20 lucky entrants. “Now, there is a waiting list starting to grow,” said Brebner, with 29 on the list for a two-bedroom apartment, and 21 on the list for a one-bedroom apartment at the facility. Throughout the Champlain Local Health Integration Network area, there are some 3,500 on the waiting lists for housing. “If you build it, they will come,” said Brebner with a smile, quoting the oft-repeated line from the iconic 1989 baseball film Field of Dreams. “I’m glad we’ve got it and it’s really neat for the community.” “The work is not finished,” pointed out Jeff Mills, of the corporation. “But it is a significant piece of the puzzle.” Mills also noted the corpora-

Re-elected Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MP Randy Hillier said the Liberal government “unceremoniously dumped” on rural Ontario when
it swore in its Cabinet. The premier “proved his disdain for Rural Ontario once again – this time by placing the Agriculture Ministry last on the
Order of Precedence,” Hillier maintained. “Dalton McGuinty has proven his disdain for Rural Ontario through numerous policies
and pieces of legislation. From his Green Energy Act to his Far North No-Jobs Act, Dalton McGuinty has made clear he doesn’t hold our rural citizens
in high regard,” he added. “It’s no wonder rural Ontario repudiated Dalton McGuinty’s agenda with such vehemence in this election.”

Elizabeth Court common room dedicated to 107-year-old Mayor LeBlanc unveils plaque commemorating oldest resident DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Jean Holmes has not one, but two rooms in her name at the Elizabeth Court apartment building. The first is, of course, her apartment, and the second the apartment complex’s common room, which was unveiled and rededicated by Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc during Holmes’ 107th birthday celebrations on Oct. 20. The idea for rededicating the room in honour of the building’s oldest resident came from the coffee club, but Jean’s daughter Jan noted that it had to be kept a secret. “She’s a very humble lady,” said Jan. “Mother does not react to good news or bad news. We will get the words from her later.” Jean Holmes was born in Lauder, Manitoba in 1904, the second of 11 children. She has lived at Elizabeth Court since it opened in 1990, and she is one of only three surviving members of the first day club. “Who deserves it more than her?” asked Jan. Naming the common room in honour of her mother, after approval from the board of directors, was a bittersweet way
for Jan to end off her time as the head of Elizabeth Court. Jan had her retirement party at the Moore House across Bridge Street from Carleton Place town hall on Saturday, Oct. 22. “Too many people my age are dying,” said Jan of her reasons for retiring. “I need to stop while I have my health.” The room was officially unveiled by Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “What a wonderful occasion for the residents of Elizabeth Court and Jean and her family,” said LeBlanc. She asked Jean what the secret to her longevity was. “She just carries on each day,” said LeBlanc, relaying Jean’s words. LeBlanc made sure to shake Jean’s hands, partially to wish her a happy birthday, but also in the hopes that “good luck will rub off on me if I shake hands with her,” she said with a laugh. Jean’s longevity appears to be holding out. “We’ve always seen this as a party place,” said LeBlanc of the newly-named lounge. “It’ll be even more exciting when we’re here for your 108th birthday next year.” Jean is still sharp as ever, and made sure to say “thank you all,” to her guests, Photo by Desmond Devoy who were then each given a rose as a From left, Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, 107-year-old Elizabeth Court resident thank you for attending her party.

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, in partnership with the Food Matters Coalition, is organizing an event called ‘Spread a New Attitude about Poverty’ on Nov. 4. The public is invited to the gathering at the Loaves and Fishes in Brockville to raise awareness about the reality of living with a
low income and to decrease the stigma that sometimes surrounds people living in poverty. In Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, about one in 10 families, and one in nine children, are living below the low income cut-off. For some, affordable, quality housing and healthy foods are hard to find. According to a recent Nutri-
tious Food Basket survey, it costs a minimum of $738.96 per month to feed a family of four. For families on low income, once rent, utilities and other expenses are paid, there is little money left over for healthy food. “Some families are being forced to choose between putting a roof over their heads and buy-
such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as babies being born too early or too small As a community, there is much we can do to provide a healthy supportive environment for all of our residents.” To learn more about the issues associated with poverty, and what you can do to support individuals and families in the community, visit www.healthunit.org/nutrition/foodmatters/default.htm.

‘Diamond coach’ speaks at local early learning conference BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Attendees at the early learning and child care conference in Carleton Place got to hear from ‘Canada’s Diamond Coach’, Adele Alfano. Alfano, who speaks about personal effectiveness and change management, was nominated as one of Canada’s 100 most powerful women. The conference was hosted by the Lanark Early Learning and Child Care Committee. Alfano, wearing a large blue wig, talked about “how to deal with those hair-defying days” at the conference at Arklan Public School on Oct. 22. Attendees filled out surveys based on how responsive to change they are – whether they easily embrace it, or strug-
gle to accept change. She spoke about how many educators will easily accept the different types of children in their classes or care, but need to recognize they are all different as people and educators as well. There are various coping methods for the different types of people based on their response to change, she explained to attendees. “It really does help with hair-defying days to understand yourself,” Alfano said. “You don’t have to be perfect – but perfectly you.” Those on hand also attended sessions on other child care issues and challenges for early childhood educators. Sessions included cooking in daycare centres, Ontario early years learning framework, restorative practices and outdoor winter games.

Feeding the need at Hungry Lunch Café DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Nothing says lovin’ like something in the oven. Especially when the diners don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Every Tuesday, those in need who are finding it hard to make ends meet in these tough economic times, or seniors looking to catch up with friends, make their way over to Zion-Memorial United Church at 37 Franklin St. in Carleton Place for a noon-hour lunch, free of charge. “We like to see families,” said Gloria Dyck, the team leader for the serving on Oct. 18, after she had helped put together a large load of hamburgers, and poured out a large tray of French fries on to a tray. “But there aren’t that many families now that the kids are back in school.” One young boy, in particular, enjoyed coming to the café so much that he asked his mother if he could skip school for a bit on a Tuesday so as he could join her. “Most of these people walk because they can’t afford cars,” said Dyck, which was one of the main reasons why Zion-Memorial was chosen to host the café, because of its excellent kitchen facilities and its close proximity to downtown. However, because of the pedestrian clientele, the numbers do tend to go down during the colder months. “Today, we cooked our food because we didn’t have a donator,”
said Dyck, but on most days, a local restaurant or bakery will step up to donate food as part of a regular rotation. The Olde Town Bakery, for example, on Lake Avenue West, is a regular donator of all of the bread, and the Thruway Restaurant on Highway 7 is also a regular contributor, helping the café dish out a roast beef dinner. In all, about eight restaurants contribute on a 10-week rotation, with the remaining two weeks being looked after by the volunteer committee. “We’ve run out of food (in the past),” said Dyck. “Not often, but sometimes we’ll have 10 people show up (at the last minute) … (But) everybody gets something.” On days when there are leftovers, some people take a doggy bag home, but often not for themselves, but for a neighbour or a relative. “We never throw anything away,” said Dyck. Because people are being fed in bulk, Shepherd’s pie and lasagna is a favourite menu item at the buffet, but today the patrons are enjoying French fries, hamburgers and hot dogs. On other days, grilled cheese sandwiches are on offer, but for special days like Thanksgiving and Christmas, the volunteers go all out with a turkey dinner. This past Thanksgiving saw more than 60 people show up to give thanks and dig in. This year’s Christmas dinner will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 20. The café has been in operation for about four years, and there are three teams of about 24 vol-
unteers that rotate every week. On this particular day, the team is comprised of members from St. Mary’s Roman Catholic, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Zion-Memorial United, St. James Anglican and the Carleton Place Baptist churches. The café patrons are often very appreciative for the service offered by the volunteers. “They clean up their own dishes and bring them to the cart,” said Dyck. “They’re all grateful.” While the volunteers lead the diners in grace before meals, they tend not to pry into the personal reasons why people end up at the café. “Some of them open up to you,” said Dyck. “Some don’t.” One café regular, though, did reveal to Dyck that she was glad for the service, because it would be a long time until her family could go back to the food bank. The café does have regular patrons, and it provides the volunteers with an opportunity to keep an eye on people with health issues. “If we don’t see them, we check up on them,” said Dyck. “I worry if someone segregates themselves and sits apart.” The café was founded by the Social Concerns Committee of Carleton Place, which is comprised of various Christian churches. “There are people here who could use a good meal,” said committee co-founder Bill Johnson, who served as the greeter on this particular morning. He commended the Carleton Place town council for donating $1,000 to-

And a surprising number of people put money in” as a freewill offering. “Some of these people aren’t destitute, but they can’t afford to sit in a restaurant and chat,” added Johnson. He noted he is pleased at the ecumenical nature of the committee and the good work that they do, manifested through the café, for example. Amongst its many other projects are the community garden near St. Gregory’s Catholic Elementary School and the various First Nations awareness

campaigns they participate in. “We can debate theological nuances amongst what I believe and everyone else (believes),” said Johnson. “But Jesus said to help people.” One lady, who gave her name as Mary Ellen, said she enjoyed the company at the café. “I pay, I donate,” she said emphatically. “I come for the company. I come all the time. I’m not in need for food.” Having come for about a year, she appreciates that the volunteer staff go out of their way to be as accommodating as possible to diners. “I’m allergic to margarine, they all know that,” said Mary Ellen, so there is often an un-buttered bun waiting for her on café day.

CP vet explores emotional bond between horses, humans in newest work DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – A new book out by a local veterinarian seeks to explain the deep and complicated relationship between horses and their owners. “It’s trying to define the relationship between people and horses,” said Dr. Helen Douglas, of her new book, Horse of a Lifetime. “It’s about what horses contribute to us (and our lives).” Douglas who runs a veterinarian clinic on Town Line Road, has been riding horses since 1964 and adores her own horse, Westie. “I love horses so much,” she said with unreserved glee. “It’s a tribute to my profession.” Her earlier memoirs of life as a rural veterinarian is a slim volume when compared her new book, a coffee table book, the size of some text books. It includes more than 750 photos interspersed throughout its 344 pages. “This is a unique book, so far, in Canada,” said Douglas. “I started off doing the Ottawa Valley and then it went national.”
One of the stories in the volume hits close to home, about Susan Cressy and the Therapeutic Riding program, and one of the program’s beloved horses, Freckles. More well-known national horse programs, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s musical ride in Ottawa to the horses of the Calgary Stampede, are also featured. “It went beyond an Ottawa Valley book,” said Douglas. The book is dedicated to a horse who trotted the busy streets of Toronto with the police force in Canada’s largest city, and was tragically killed when he was hit by a vehicle. Douglas began her journey writing the book inspired by one story, which led to many more stories, each with its own compelling human-animal relationship angle. “It had to be a story,” said Douglas, not wanting to simply do a write-up on various trainers, owners or farms. “It had to be a story to tell with a message.” One such story was of a woman who lost her self-confidence, only to regain it through the relationship and trust she built up

Veterinarian and author Dr. Helen Douglas with her horse ‘Westie’. with her horse. The book took three years for Douglas to write before handing it over to General Store Publishing House. “I could have worked on it indefinitely,” said Douglas. “I didn’t watch TV, I didn’t read. I did it before work, after work,” she said of her all-consuming passion in writing the book, matched only by her workplace devotion and her ongoing work with Help Lesotho, a charity helping in the tiny African nation.
Great News for Golfers!
While the book chronicled the emotional journeys horses and their riders shared, the writing process for this book took an emotional toll on her as well. When she finished her tome, “(I was) almost in tears,” said Douglas. “I said, ‘I can’t believe I did this’ … It was more like choked up.” While she is proud of her work, she has promised her partner that she will now “take it easy,” and lay off the writing for a while. One of the stories in the book touched her very deeply, because it was so personal. After a fouryear battle with a breast cancer, which eventually moved in to her lungs and killed her at the age of 39, Jody Hoerdt, a single mother of two boys, is featured. “(She is) deeply missed by the horse community,” said Douglas. “It still chokes me up,” she said of her horse breeder friend. The book is now available for sale in Carleton Place at Read’s Book Store and the Valley Veterinary Clinic. “The stories became more about the people,” said Douglas. “The horses are important, but
you can’t write a personal story (from the horse’s perspective). I’m trying to crack an emotional nut.” Some of the horse owners could be hard to read, and emotionally played their cards close to their chest – until the time came to talk about their horses. “They would just all of a sudden open up when they talked about their horses,” said Douglas, who travelled all across Canada to research the book and conduct interviews. Saskatchewan and Manitoba were the only provinces she was unable to visit, but she has five stories from Alberta, four from British Columbia, five from Nova Scotia and at least one story apiece from all of the other provinces she visited. “There is a point where you wonder if you’ve bitten off more than you can chew,” said Douglas. “There were points where I had people not responding, and I had gone three-fourths of the way with them and they backed out.” She was able to overcome this through “discipline and the willingness to carry on.”

Four ways to cash in on home improvement.
(NC)—Make every cent you put into your home count by making improvements that have a strong return on investment. Before you begin any renovation, plan ahead to get the most out of your money. Shop around to ensure you get the best price on materials and labour, and know what you want your end result to look like before getting started, to avoid additional costs. Whether you’re working within a tight budget or prepared to invest a sizeable amount, the Government of Canada makes updating your home easier and cost-efficient by renewing the ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes program from June 6, 2011, to March 31, 2012. Until the end of March 2012, homeowners are eligible to receive grants of up to $5,000 to make energy-efficient upgrades. Past participants in the program have saved up to 20 per cent on their energy bills. Some of the major savings from the ecoENERGY grants come from applying for adequate home insulation. The maximum grants for insulation include: • Attic upgrade, $750 • Exterior wall, $1,875
• Overhang/floor above unheated space, $190 • Basement, $1,250 • Crawlspace, $1,000 Take full advantage of this grant opportunity and consider the following home projects to give your home value an extra boost: • Finished basement—If you want to add value to your home, a finished basement can make all the difference. Hire a contractor to reap the most from the remodel and properly insulate the area to keep moisture and air leaks at bay. • Additional storage space—Insulate crawl spaces within your home to provide a moisture-free storage space. • Bathroom makeover—Provide your bathroom with an updated look and new fixtures that help preserve water. Install a double-flush option toilet as additional means to save on the next utility bill. More information on insulating your home can be found online at www.icynene.com. www.newscanada.com

Almonte Thunder Bolts Senior Boys football coach Chris Spratt and staff give a pep talk after a 52-0 drubbing of Notre Dame last Friday, running their record to 4-0-1. The coaches and player leaders, James Illingworth and Brody Cliffton among others, urged the players not to lose their focus with one game left against Carleton Place Friday before playoffs begin Nov. 1.

THUNDER LOSS, BUT LOWRY EXCELS The Almonte Thunder lost two games last week despite five goals by Derek Lowry. They were beaten 5-2 by the Arnprior Packers Sunday. Above, rookie defenseman Brady Burke skates the puck under the watchful eye of Arnprior forward Kyle Daniels. Drake Clancy and Lowry each had a goal and assist for Almonte.

Education
Teacher nominated for major award Carambeck Public School teacher Shelley Lynch has been nominated to receive the Arie van Mansum award for excellence in Holocaust education. The award was conceived and initiated by the Ottawa Shoah (Holocaust) Committee, as a tribute to van Mansum, a Dutch-born man who emigrated to Canada after the Second World War. Van Mansum was recognized by Yad Vashem as ‘Righteous among the Nations’ for saving Jews during the war. Seven years ago, the committee felt it was important to recognize teachers who were devoting considerable time and effort to teaching
the lessons of the Holocaust to their students. Consequently, each fall, as part of the committee’s Holocaust Education Week activities, following a nomination and selection process, a teacher is chosen to receive the award. “The award is presented by a member of the van Mansum family at our launch event for Holocaust Education Week,” said Mina Cohn, chair of the Ottawa Holocaust Committee. “Nominations for teachers deemed eligible for the award have come from a variety of sources, including survivors of the Holocaust, community members and other teachers. Members
of the Shoah Committee choose a deserving recipient based on the individual’s meeting criteria the committee has set.” Lynch was nominated by a Holocaust survivor, Vera Gara. The award will be presented at the launch event of Holocaust Education Month, which will take place on Thursday, Nov. 3, 7 p.m., at the Agudath Israel Synagogue in Ottawa. The event will feature Paul Shapiro, director of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, who was instrumental in making the documents available to the public. Tickets cost $10.

Celtfest fundraiser to debut major work on D’Arcy McGee DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
ALMONTE – You could always find Thomas D’Arcy McGee in any room. All you had to do, according to historian Professor David Wilson, was listen for the sound of laughter, and you would find him at the centre of it. Indeed, the youngest Father of Confederation, and so far the only Irishborn Canadian elected to the House of Commons, was described by Wilson as the ‘social convenor’ of confederation, bringing together the disparate elements of what would become Canada in 1867. McGee would find it fitting, then, that Wilson’s second volume on his life, The Extreme Moderate, would be launched in the heart of the Ottawa Valley, accompanied by the musical stylings of The McGee Band, to form a show that is musical, literary and historical. The fundraising event for the Almonte Celtfest will be held at the Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St., on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $20 in advance, $22 at the door, and are available at Mill Street Books, 52 Mill St., 613-256-9090; Mississippi Mills MusicWorks, 453 Ottawa St., 613-256-7464; or Baker Bob’s, 73 Little Bridge St., 613-256-7674. The McGee Band fuses Irish, Scottish and Quebecois music that would have been popular amongst those nationalities up to the time of McGee’s assassination in 1869 at the age of 42.
McGee himself was very outgoing, In fact, the band has recorded a CD, ‘In Gee’s era. “It really is excellent music.” Wilson had done some work on CBC and so likely would have enjoyed such Honour of the Life and Times of ThomRadio One’s Ideas program for a number an evening out, like he did when Canada as D’Arcy McGee’. “(It is) interspersed with letters, of years and so he knows about inter- was being formed. speeches and poems, including talks spersing music within the written and from his enemies,” explained Wilson. “I spoken word.

Continued from Page 28 “He played a great role in breaking the ice,” said Wilson of McGee’s outgoing nature. While Wilson calls McGee “one of the most articulate campaigners for confederation,” and a spellbinding orator, despite his unkempt demeanor, “he didn’t play a central role,” in the negotiations that would bring about the Canada of today, preferring to leave that up to Sir John A. Macdonald, George-Etienne Cartier and Alexander Tilloch Galt. Instead, though, he did take part in the “major league drinking, major league banquets and major league laughter” that went with the constitutional conferences, which greased the wheels for a deal to be made. Wilson admitted he too will likely be grabbing some libations as he and The McGee Band head in for some rehearsals so as to be in top shape for opening night.

Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our
way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying...“We Remember”.

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
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.

Almonte man gained love of military artifacts from grandfather JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Almonte’s Peter Blenkarn, who works with the RCMP’s firearms section, first found his love of military history and archives hearing stories about Vimy Ridge at his grandfather’s knee. From that grandfather came a German bayonet he picked up on a battlefield and a Ross rifle bayonet which was discontinued after the First World War. “It’s an important story of how we, as Canadians are in a fight,” he said. “We don’t give up, we fight until the end.” It’s this pride in his country’s military history that led Blenkarn to start organizing the Ottawa Military Heritage Show a few years ago. The Almonte man said the idea for the show started about 25 years ago with a
Peter Blenkarn group of enthusiasts who would meet monthly to talk about the history of certain battles – be they Roman or closer to present day – and ballooned to the twiceyearly show that showcases artifacts and
tells the tales of those who fought for their country. The show will take place at the Nepean Sportsplex on Sunday, Oct. 30. It will feature 100 exhibitors and 75 tables. Blenkarn said people come from as far away as the Maritimes and Winnipeg to participate. There will be buyers, sellers and traders – but possibly more important for the inexperienced – will be the appraisers on hand to tell people the story of their family heirlooms. “There are Victoria Crosses out there sitting in a drawer worth half-a-million (dollars) and the owners have no idea what they have,” Blenkarn said, adding that some of the country’s biggest medal and badge dealers will be on hand. Previous shows have hit some controversy over the love of military artifacts, especially those collectors of German
equipment, but for Blenkarn, it all comes from pride and love of history. “I collect German militaria and for me, it represents our victory in the first and second world wars,” he said. In a previous year, a woman brought a rifle from the Boer War. Now firearms and live ammunition are forbidden because of bylaws, but the show is always a treasure trove of storytelling and comradeship. Blenkarn said one man brought in some artifacts and learned about when the North West Mounted Police did the Long March in 1873 after being given their “Royal” designation. The show will start at 9 a.m. on Oct. 30 and run until 3 p.m. Tickets are $8 and are available at the door. For more information call Peter Blenkarn at 613-256-1105 after 4 p.m. or email pbmm_8@hotmail. com.

Discover if Alice fulfills a prophecy at next Mudds production DORIS OHLMANN Mississippi Mudds publicity team
I’m sure most of you have heard the story of Alice in Wonderland? The one where Alice finds herself falling down a rabbit hole and comes out the other side into a strange new land: Wonderland. Young and old alike enjoy this well-known classic. The upcoming Christmas production of Alice in Wonderland, to be presented by the Carleton Place Mississippi Mudds, is a slightly different version. This pantomime script by Kate Parry and Karen DolanSmith includes those familiar characters we’ve all come to love (or wonder about) like Alice, the Mad Hatter (Joe Weber), the March Hare (Elizabeth Szucs), the Cheshire Cat (Adam Pelletier), the Queen of Hearts (alias the Red Queen), and, of course, the storyteller, the White Rabbit (Patricia Black), but there’s a few other characters involved as well to add a few new spins to the favourite tale. Alice, played by Amy Bourne,
along with her mother Gladys, played by Brian McManus, quickly become involved in an adventure to save Wonderland from the cruel Red Queen, played by Jenny Pfitzer. In her efforts to fulfill a royal prophecy, Alice meets up with various subjects of Wonderland. But will the comedic pair Tweedle Dee (Angela Sotiropoulos) and Tweedle Dum (Trish Smith) be able to help Alice find the King? And what’s going on between Gladys and Ernest Compost, the Palace Gardener (Chris Jones)? Is that a romance blossoming for Prince Valentino (Andrew McDougall)? Will Billy the Prince’s valet (Jordan McIntosh) be able to help Alice solve a riddle? Will the bored Princess Incontinenta (Kayley Kennedy) save the Prince from the Executioner? And, of course, the chorus will help provide musical interludes to round out the story. Led by musical director Laurel Tye and accompanied by band leader, piano player, and musical arranger Peter Brown, musical selections include Some-
where Over the Rainbow, It’s A Wonderful World, Somebody to Love, Burning Love, Lean on Me, Hooked on a Feeling, I’ve Had the Time of My Life, Hard Knock Life, Bright Side of Life, Poker Face and Satisfaction. Director Meredith Millman and producer Alina Jacques with assistance from Louise Link have been collaborating for over two years to bring Alice in Wonderland to the Carleton Place Town Hall stage. With a cast of 39 and an additional 15 production team members, this talented group has been working hard since early September to bring this production to local audiences. Come out for this Mississippi Mudds pantomime treat Dec. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 4 and 10 at 2 p.m. Matinees cost $15 and evening performances $20. Tickets are available at Arts Carleton Place at 613-2572031. For more information, visit www.mississippimudds. ca. Thank you to the sponsors of the Alice Production: Giant Tiger, Riverview Seniors’ Residence and Valley Design.

We develop tools and strategies to help each patient with these activities.”
At the Almonte General Hospital/ Fairview Manor (AGH/FVM), OT services are provided, with a doctor’s referral, to patients in the Hospital’s Rosamond Unit, residents of Fairview Manor and outpatients who attend the AGH Day Hospital program. October is National Occupational Therapy Month. Here is more information about OT services from AGH/FVM Manor Occupational Therapist Peggy Wallace. Assessment – “We assess each patient or resident, set goals, determine interventions and measure results,” Ms Wallace explains. “Among other things, we assess the ability to carry out the

Self-Care – “Self-care refers to such activities as dressing, washing and eating,” she says. “If a patient has difficulty dressing, we try practising to improve the skill. If that doesn’t work, we can
Leisure – “This includes things like hobbies and sports,” says Ms Wallace. “For example, if you garden, we will look at using a stool, longhandled tools, a raised garden or modifying the gardening task in some other way.” Client-centred – “Occupational therapy is very client-centered,” says Ms Wallace. “We look at the big picture, assess the impact of the illness or disability on the patient’s life and help improve their functional level.” R0011154598
