FALL BACKDon’t forget to set your clocks

back this weekend, as everyone will fall back by one hour over-night on Saturday as Daylight Saving Time ends.

EXTRICATIONLocal fi refi ghters have started

competing in extrication com-petitions, fi ne-tuning skills they use in the community.

Students Ben Brisebois and Olivia Davis were keen to play at the literacy water station with their reading buddies during a visit to Mme. Dube’s Ready to Learn class at St. Gregory’s school in Carleton Place on Monday. Their reading buddies have a slightly big-ger stature than the young students though - as they are two of the 10 Carleton Place Canadians hockey players who are part of the program at the primary school.

APPLETON – A new exhibit honouring local men and women who served in the Second World War will be unveiled this weekend in the run-up to Remembrance Day.

This is the third year in a row that the North Lanark Regional Museum in Appleton, has had a Remembrance Day-themed exhibit in November, and this year focuses on Canada’s war from 1939 to 1945.

Helping kick off the exhibit will be historian Glenn Wright, who will give a talk entitled, ‘Proudly She Served: Women in the Military’ at the museum on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. For details, call 613-256-4221 or email [email protected].

Volunteer Brian Tackaberry has been busy get-ting the full names, ages, regiments and other in-formation about the 12 Almonte soldiers who were killed in action overseas during the war.

“It’s amazing how many were involved in the air force,” said Tackaberry, as he looked over the display cases of black and white photographs and military medals.

ALMONTE – James Naismith is colour-blind and he can’t drive.

Not only is it a statement of fact, but it is also the enigmatic title of a new musical celebrat-

ing the life of the Almonte-born creator of basketball. “How do you catch the attention of people with a historical play?” asked Thora Pugh, the director of the play, which will have its pre-miere at the Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St., at 7 p.m. on Remembrance Day.

Calling the play The Life of Dr. James Naismith, or Naismith: The Musical, “didn’t carry the same resonance,” said Pugh.

That’s why playwright Fern Martin suggested the funky-sounding, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band-like name.

The play’s opening night is

Friday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. The play will also be performed on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available through Mill Street Books, 52 Mill St., Almonte, 613-256-9090, or at the Pakenham General Store.

Patient safety is no accident at the Almonte General Hospital Patient Safety Week is October 31-November 6. The Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor (AGH/FVM) held an internal contest to come up with a slogan for the week. The winning suggestion was “Patient safety is no accident” from AGH Ultrasound Technologist Angele Crites. Below, Ms Crites talks about patient safety means to her.

Handwashing – “Handwashing is a very important part of infection control,” explains Ms Crites. “I wash my hands with soap or hand sanitizer before and after seeing every patient. Visitors to the Hospital should wash their hands before and after entering a patient’s room.”

Patient Identifi cation – “Every patient at AGH, including outpatients, now receives an armband while at the Hospital,” says Ms Crites. “This ensures they are correctly identifi ed while they are here and prevents any mix-ups relating to patient records.”

Patient Transfer – “Some patients fi nd it diffi cult to get up on or down from the ultrasound table,” says Ms Crites. “In these cases, to ensure patient safety, I have someone help me lift the patient on and off the table.”

Follow-up – “I tell each patient when their doctor will receive the report from their ultrasound test so they

can follow up and receive the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.”

Equipment Maintenance – “I have the ultrasound equipment serviced on a regular basis, to ensure it is safe and working properly,” says Ms Crites.

Training – “I, along with all the staff at the Hospital, attend in-service training sessions on patient safety,” says Ms Crites. “Information, instruction and training are provided to all staff to enable them to perform their work safely and effi ciently.”

Commitment – “I get involved in patient safety by sharing my experiences and reporting anything I think may detract from patient safety,” explains Ms Crites. “I try to treat patients how I would want my parents and children to be treated. All the staff here are committed to making sure that everyone who receives care in our the Almonte General Hospital experiences a safe and careful environment.”

WHEN A HERO

REPRESENTS A HEROUnlike other sequels, the second go-round for the Rick Hansen Man in Motion tour was just as good, if not better, than the fi rst time in the 1980s. Canadian Paralympian Noella Klawitter, owner of the Curves gym, carried the Rick Han-sen medal from the downtown heart of Bridge Street, from The Granary to Carleton Place town hall on Oct. 29 as part of the 25th anniversary relay. At left, Car-leton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc welcomes Klawitter. At top right, councillors Gary Strike, Louis An-tonakos and LeBlanc lead citizens in a round of applause for Klawit-ter, after which, below, a well-wisher shakes Klawitter’s hand after her run. Elsewhere in the Valley, other notables also carried the medal. On Oct. 28, Kory Earle, vice-president of People First of Canada, re-elected Peoples First of Ontario president and a Carleton Place resident, ran a leg of the relay in Stittsville. The medal was on the move all weekend, visiting Seeley’s Bay, Smiths Falls, Elgin and Appleton.

BRIER DODGE

ALMONTE - I was stuck in the driver’s seat of the car, covered up with a trap while saws removed the roof and broke out the rear windshield.

A volunteer fi refi ghter leaned through the passenger side and explained what was happened and made sure I wasn’t hurt, keeping me calm as the parts of the car were removed as quickly as possible.

The other fi ve fi refi ghters had started running through their vehicle accident process, assessing for hazards and pa-tients, then stabilizing the vehicle just minutes before the fi rst glass was shat-tered.

This kind of call is one that they re-spond to frequently – was it a drunk driv-ing accident, or texting?

I told them that I hit a deer, driving out on the back roads.

But I wasn’t on the back roads, I was behind the fi re station in Almonte.

And this wasn’t one of the about 140 calls that the Mississippi Mills volunteer fi refi ghters respond to every year.

Volunteers John Gleeson, Rob Baron, Keon Wilkinson, Travis Hartwick, Mike Boal, Rich Potter and Coady Lowry were practicing a vehicle extrication, using me inside as the victim-patient.

All six men have their own day jobs, in about as big of a variety as you could ex-pect to see – ranging from skilled trades to high tech.

But they all have a second set of pro-fessional skills used for the benefi t of the community, on a strictly volunteer basis.

Many of the volunteers manage to make it 90 to 98 per cent of the calls.

These six are all part of the 48-member volunteer fi refi ghting squad, and also ve-hicle extrication competitors, represent-ing Mississippi Mills.

Over the past several years, because of fewer house fi res, the proportion of calls the squad gets has shifted to more car ac-cidents than fi re calls, said Mississippi Mills fi re chief Art Brown.

He credited fi re prevention efforts, school visits and newer homes with the decrease in fi re calls.

It means that fi refi ghters, while keep-ing skills needed in a fi re call, are spend-ing more of their time working with car accidents and extricating patients.

Extrication is the process where they safely remove a victim from the car – something that takes a lot of skill.

That’s something bystanders who may be at an accident scene before profession-als need to remember, said members of the squad.

There are many things that can go wrong while taking an injured patient out of a vehicle, especially if they are partially pinned or trapped; or have suf-fered an injury.

“A hip that had a hairline fracture could suddenly turn into being fully broken, “I was told.

They are also trained to recognize the difference between smoke and the pow-der released from airbags when they de-ploy.

Many people mistake this powder for smoke, and rush in to remove the injured driver – when there is in actuality, a very low risk for fi re.

TRAINING AND COMPETING

For the fi rst time this year, a team from Mississippi Mills competed in an extrica-tion competition, Gleeson said.

I got to see what one of several judges would experience during a competition, one of whom acts at the patient from in-side the car, and can judge the medics – in this case Wilkinson and Lowry – on their

skills in treating and dealing with the pa-tient.

There would be another judge directly watching Gleeson, who plays a role simi-lar to the quarterback, or team captain, directing the squad.

Another two would be watching the rest of the team safely dissemble the ve-hicle, remove glass, and saw away parts.

There are two competitions, one where fi refi ghters can use hydraulic tools (com-monly known as the ‘Jaws of Life’), and another where they can only use hand-held tools.

The competitions are run through TERC (Transportation Emergency Res-cue Committee) Canada. The competi-tions started as a way to increase and promote fi refi ghter training, for both full-time and volunteer fi refi ghters.

While there is a 20-minute time limit imposed for the cases that they get in competition, they are marked on much more than the time.

“It’s effi ciency more than time,” said Lowry, who along with Wilkinson has re-ceived extra medic training to attend the calls.

Since competing, Gleeson said that he has seen the department’s skills increase, and be applied to serving the public.

“Competition you have to work for the judges,” Gleeson said. “But on the road, you never know what you’re up against. And generally, out here, you know the person in the vehicle.”

The squad was trained on extrications long before competitions started, but it has helped increase the time dedicated to it.

Hartwick said that he has completed “a few hundred” extrications between calls and training since he became a fi re-fi ghter. The fi refi ghters train every other week, but training encompasses a vari-ety of skills. Before the competition, they

added a weekly extrication session for two months.

At the competition, they prove their skills against full-time fi refi ghters. Full-time fi refi ghters and volunteer fi refi ght-ers all compete in the same divisions, as Mississippi Mills did at the 2011 Eastern Ontario Vehicle Rescue Challenge in Sep-tember in Carp.

“I’d put our guys up against any de-partment,” Hartwick said.

The Mississippi Mills team is current-ly working towards training for the 2012 Eastern Ontario Vehicle Rescue Chal-lenge in Loyalist Township in June – but they are already working hard to make sure that they are one of the top teams.

In the 2011 competition, they placed second regionally.

If there are extra spaces in the compe-tition, teams from outside the region are allowed to compete, but can’t place in the regional rankings.

Teams can go on from the regional competition to compete at a national, and international level.

WHAT IT WAS LIKE

It took the team 11 minutes and 20 sec-onds to have me safely out of the vehicle and on a backboard.

It was pretty easy to see how someone could go into shock after an accident, but the team was fast acting and zeroed in straight to me in the car.

Wilkinson had the job to keep eye contact with me the entire time – which proved more challenging than I thought it would be.

I didn’t have real injuries, and I still had a hard time not looking down when he said, “keep looking at me, but do you have any leg injuries?”

Extrication team trains to compete and performA fi rst-person account of being rescued from by local fi refi ghters

Firefi ghters struggle to remove pieces of the car and windows of a ‘wrecked’ car. In the exercise, the cars are prepped ahead of time, with the passenger windows and front windshield removed. All fuel and radiator fl uid are also removed before the training, to prevent any fi res. There is a long list of things the fi refi ghters must check before a real extrication, including fuel spills and loose wires.


The Mississippi Mills extrication team, plus Canadian Gazette reporter Brier Dodge, after successfully completing a training extrication at the Mississippi Mills fi re station in Al-monte. Usually one of the fi refi ghters will be the patient (victim) who is extricated from the vehicle, something that the team said gives them more compassion for the person in a real life situation. In a competition, a judge would act as the patient being removed.

The “hard protection” – a hard board between my head and the car placed before cutting – was much wel-come, as was the tarp over top to pro-tect against glass.

I’m terrifi ed of sharp objects, and can barely even stand to see a friend slicing a bagel, so the sound of the saw next to me, cutting away at the car, would have been pretty terrifying if there wasn’t anyone there talking me through the steps, particularly if my accident had been real.

They had an easier job pulling me out of the vehicle, as I was dressed head to toe in a pair of coveralls that were about eight sizes too big.

I can only imagine the type of crash

victims they usually get, with some-one dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. It would take a lot of skill, and training, to know how to properly put the per-son on a backboard and get them out of the vehicle.

At the end when they asked me to guess how long I was in the car for, I had to really think back.

LOCAL VOLUNTEERS

When you think about how of-ten ambulance response times are judged, you realize how important these training sessions are.

The skills that they’re developing are often difference between how fast someone is taken to the hospital in a rural car collision.

It really struck me how much time and effort goes into this training.

At the end of the day, these guys aren’t out there training for a compe-tition. They’re out there training so that when they get a call at 2 a.m. to attend an accident scene, they can do the best job for their community.

It’s an important realization how much time it takes out of their per-sonal and family lives – without get-ting paid a cent.

I live in a rural environment, and this was eye-opening to me how much time goes into essentially having a second job.

They’re an important part of the community, so next time you see a local volunteer fi refi ghter … say thanks.

Volunteers are an important part of thefi refi ghting team, and the community


Members of the Mississippi Mills fi re department work to saw away the roof of the car so they can safely extract the patient inside during this training exercise.

With the Fall season fi rmly upon us, the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) is looking ahead to the fl u season. The Hospital’s Infl uenza Campaign Team has launched an awareness campaign titled ‘It’s not rocket science’ to urge Hospital staff and the community to receive the fl u shot.

“We know that getting the fl u shot isn’t a simple yes or no for everybody so we decided to launch the ‘It’s not rock-et science’ campaign to ensure that everyone is aware of the pros and cons concerning the fl u vaccine,” stated Es-ther Houle, Chief Nursing Offi cer/ Outpatient Manager. “We wanted our staff , their families, and the community at large to have access to correct information so they can make an informed decision about whether the fl u shot is right for their particular situation.”

The Hospital’s Infl uenza Committee provided an infor-mation session to staff at the end of September and be-gan providing fl u shots to its staff , volunteers and physi-cians on October 19th. All residents of Ontario can get their free fl u shot from their family physicians or by visit-ing a community fl u clinic. A listing of the clinics can be found by visiting CPDMH’s website (www.carletonplace-hospital.ca) or the website of the Leeds, Grenville & La-nark District Health Unit at http://www.healthunit.org.

“We believe that if people have access to correct in-formation, they will realize that getting the fl u vaccine

isn’t rocket science. The vaccine is very safe and it is the most eff ective way to protect yourself and your family from getting the fl u,” continued Mrs. Houle. “As well, we would like to remind everyone that even if you are immunized, proper hand washing is an important way to guard against, and limit, the spread of respiratory ill-nesses like infl uenza.”

For information on the benefi ts of receiving the fl u shot as well as answers to concerns about receiving the vac-cine, please visit www.ontario.ca/fl u. In addition, the Hospital’s Infl uenza Campaign Team has provided the following tips to help you and your family avoid becom-ing sick this fl u season:

• The best way to avoid the fl u: get the fl u shot.

• Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often.

• Keep an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (gel or wipes) handy at work, home and in your car. It needs to be at least 60% alcohol to be eff ective.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and throw the tissue out.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

• Avoid large crowds of people where viruses can

spread easily and stay home when you are sick.

• Keep common surfaces and items clean and disinfected.

Carleton Place Hospital launches fl u shot campaign

Remembrance Day 2011

Continued from frontThe number of local men who signed

up for service with the air force equaled the combined numbers who sought the navy and army.

There are numerous interesting local stories of how families were affected by the tragedy of war, and how people from what is now Mississippi Mills were on the forefront of some of the most notable battles of the war.

The Scott brothers, for example, born in Pakenham, were both killed in the war - Stewart Scott on June 24, 1944, the same month as the invasion of Normandy and Kenneth Allen Scott on Jan. 12, 1945.

Several local soldiers were also in-volved in trying to repel the Japanese in-vasion of Hong Kong in December 1941, one day after the attack on Pearl Harbour. Two local soldiers died in Japanese pris-oner-of-war camps, one was killed in ac-tion, and two survived.

“They looked just like Holocaust sur-vivors,” said Tackaberry of the soldiers who emerged from the Japanese camps.

On the home front, families were mak-ing sacrifi ces. Ration books for every-thing we take for granted now, such as coffee, tea, sugar, fuel, and meat, are on display. The Almonte textile industry was almost entirely taken over for making all manner of war materials.

“The factories here were turned over to the war effort,” said Tackaberry, point-ing to an advertisement showing how the Dominion Textile Company made tents

and other items for the soldiers. People at home did what they could to

support the troops – including things that would not be considered “politically cor-rect,” today.

An article in the Feb. 20, 1944 edition of the Almonte Gazette, for example, com-mended a group of citizens for trying to get cigarettes to the boys at the front.

On a more serious level, the war came home to Almonte in a big way on Dec. 27, 1942, when a troop train collided with a passenger train. Where the Almonte pub-lic library now stands was where the old Almonte train station stood. The passen-ger train was waiting at the station.

“Something went wrong with the sig-nals and the troop train ran into the passenger train,” said Tackaberry. “It brought the horrors of war home.”

About 39 people were killed, just days after Christmas.

One of the artifacts pulled from the wreckage was a prayer book. Because it was not inscribed, however, it is not known who it belonged to, survivor or victim.

Tying in with Wright’s talk this Sun-day is a special uniform worn by Ordelia Giles, who signed up with the Royal Cana-dian Air Force’s women’s unit, shortly af-ter her own husband was killed in action. As luck would have it, Wright, a research-er at Library and Archives Canada, has been preparing to research a book on the role of women in the Canadian military, so his talk is “a preview of a book he will

be writing.” A scrapbook compiled dur-

ing the war of the role played by women, both at war and on the home front, will be on display Sunday at the museum.

Other items of interest in the displays are booklets for soldiers coming back from the war in 1945, entitled ‘Back to Civil Life’, as well as a Japanese offi cer’s samurai sword, which was sur-rendered to Dr. Fred Snedden of Pakenham in Burma (now Myan-mar).

CARLETON PLACE – When it comes to wearing the red and black poppy, there is a lot of grey.

For George Wood, the president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place, using a Canadian fl ag pin to keep your poppy in place on your jacket is “traditionally not supposed to be done. It’s a grey area. It’s a registered trade mark, not to be used with anything else.”

Wood joined Carleton Place Mayor Wen-dy LeBlanc at town hall on Friday, Oct. 28, to pin the town’s fi rst poppy on the town’s fi rst citizen.

The day before, Governor General Da-vid Johnston became the fi rst Canadian to have his poppy proudly pinned, kicking off the Legion’s poppy campaign.

For LeBlanc, a former teacher, while always respectful of the poppy as a sym-bol of the ultimate sacrifi ce made by Canada’s soldiers in defending our free-dom, she would sometimes use the poppy symbol as a learning tool during arts and crafts time.

“It was meaningful for the children,” said LeBlanc.

“We encourage the kids to participate” in Remembrance Day ceremonies, added Wood.

The poppy campaign will have poppies available for pick-up, with a freewill do-nation, at boxes in places as diverse as town hall’s front desk, Your Independent Grocers, Giant Tiger, The Beer Store, Wal-Mart, LCBO and other stores throughout the area.

While the respect and decorum sur-rounding Remembrance Day is unassail-able, some of the traditions surrounding it remain in fl ux. For example, the day used to be a day off for everyone.

“As a veteran, it would be nice if they could (make it a public holiday),” said Wood, who served as a peacekeeper in the United Nations mission in Cyprus, in West Germany with NATO and during the Suez Canal crisis in Egypt. “But with the economy today, I don’t think it is fea-sible.”

“I like the fact that it isn’t (a holiday),” said LeBlanc, after a photo session in front of the roll of remembrance for Car-leton Place’s Second World War veterans. “If it was a statutory holiday, I don’t think people would use it for that (commemora-tion).”

The nature of war has changed over the years, from the large contingents that went over to fi ght overseas in the second and fi rst world wars to the smaller units sent far afi eld today.

But the call to remember the fallen, to commemorate the sacrifi ce of those who served remains as strong as ever.

“We are looking at young veterans,” said LeBlanc of the young men and wom-en who are returning from the recently wrapped-up combat mission in Afghani-stan.

“It makes you think of the fi rst and sec-ond world war,” and the young men who returned home, changed forever.

“If you don’t learn from history, you’re doomed to repeat it,” said Wood.

As Remembrance Day approaches, a veterans social calendar fi lls up consider-ably. This Saturday, Nov. 5, the Carleton Place Legion will be hosting its annual veterans dinner, with between 60 and 80 veterans slated to attend. The meet-and-greet will take place at 5 p.m., with the dinner starting at 6 p.m.

The same day, the Carleton Place Sea Cadets will take over poppy duties at the Independent grocery store on McNeely Avenue.

On Nov. 11, Remembrance Day ceremo-nies will begin with the troop form-up at 10:30 a.m., followed by the parade from town hall on Mill Street, down Beckwith Street to Memorial Park on Franklin

Do’s and don’ts of proper poppy etiquetteLegion’s annual campaign kicks into high gear

Street, between the Carleton Place Public Library and Zion-Memorial United Church, with the ceremony beginning at 11 a.m.

In Beckwith Township, Re-membrance Day will be marked at Beckwith Park, 1319 Ninth Line Rd., at 1 p.m., starting with the roll of honour.

The Remembrance Day cer-emony in Pakenham will begin just before 11 a.m. at the ceno-taph in the park beside the Pak-enham Public School, 109 Jeanie St., while the ceremony at the cenotaph beside the Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St., will begin just before 2 p.m.


George Wood, president of the Carleton Place branch of the Royal Canadian Le-gion, pins the fi rst poppy on to Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc in the council chambers, in front of the scroll of remem-brance to the town’s World War II veterans. Then pinning last week helped kick off the Legion’s annual poppy drive.

Editorial Policy

Wear a poppy and remember our veterans

COLUMN

To the Editor:I have been approached by a number

of seniors in our town, asking what is happening, or not happening, with ef-forts by our Town Council to start the process of affordable housing for our seniors.

We have seniors who are looking to vacate their existing housing, but are not ready to enter a retirement resi-dence.

Living in a large house with a yard is a major chore that becomes more dif-fi cult as we age. These seniors are able to look after their own needs, and are fi nancially independent.

There are two residences in Carleton Place with an elevator - Elizabeth Court and the Woodward Street apartments. The waiting list at Elizabeth Court is fi ve years plus.

The main concern expressed by the seniors that have spoken to me, when they talk about moving, deals with the diffi culty in climbing the stairs that are

part of the apartment buildings in Car-leton Place.

There are so many options available to the existing (appointed in January 2011) Seniors Housing Committee of our Town Council, that listing these would take a whole page of this news-paper.

Smiths Falls recently converted the old high school into nice apartments. Carambeck School will the closing in 2012. Options?

Conversion grant monies are avail-able. Starting the process of seniors housing is a no-cost exercise for our Town Council. Building and operating an affordable housing complex could be a no-cost exercise for our town. Rent-geared-to-income housing could form part of an affordable housing program.

Lots of points to consider. Where to start is one question. When to start - now would be a good time.

Doug Smith.Carleton Place

Housing, here and now?

Pause and remember – on the 11th day, of the 11th month, at the 11th hour. That’s the premise behind Nov. 11 and the poppy cam-

paign that is in full swing by local Legions in our communities for two weeks leading up to Remem-brance Day.

The tradition of remembering those who paid the supreme sacrifi ce by defending our nation so Canadians can live today is the goal of the poppy campaign.

The Legion continues to support veterans of past and present with many benefi ts and this is due to the determination of dedicated volunteers who help with the poppy campaign.

Remembrance Day tributes commemorate the men and women who died in the military service of Canada during war and peacekeeping missions. Just this year, we celebrated in the Ottawa Valley, the return of our war vets from Afghanistan as the mission came to completion in the summer.

The poppy has been widely recognized as a sym-bol of remembrance, since it was fi rst adopted in 1921. By wearing the poppy, we demonstrate our gratitude to those who gave their lives for the free-dom we enjoy.

The poppy campaign takes helps to raise aware-ness of remembrance and funds raised through donations helps provide war vets with food and shelter, or medical help for them as well as their families.

Funds from the poppy campaign are also used to comfort vets in hospital, for medical appliances and research, disaster relief, educational bursaries, and for poster and poetry contest prizes. Legion Service Bureau and expenses of the branch’s Veteran Ser-vices chair are also covered by funds raised from the poppy campaign.

Any ex-serviceman or woman or dependent is eligible to apply for fi nancial aid. After expenses, such as the cost of poppies, wreaths and other sup-plies are deducted; all remaining monies are placed in trust to be used for further expenses.

So when you see Legion volunteers in your com-munity who are offering poppies for donation, please give generously to help support our vets.

Plenty scary stuff for dad,

Des Says

It was a dark and foggy night as the lads made their way up Mourne Road in Dublin in the mid-1950s.

The smell of dampness and coal fi re fi lled the air, which was appro-priate since, in the good Irish Hal-loween tradition, the boys’ faces were covered in soot and ash as they prepared to trick-or-treat.

But this Halloween was to be a truly scary one for my father.

Out of the grey, swirling mist, a heavy-set mother called out into the evening chill.

“Paddy? Paddy, where are ‘ye?” she called.

Then, setting her eyes upon my father, thought she saw her ‘young fella’.

“’Dere you are, come ‘ere,” she said, picking my father up and running him inside the house, slamming the door behind him.

My father had never met this woman before in his life, and was now inside a strange house with her.

“What are you doing with your face covered in this muck?” the woman wondered aloud, as she sat my father up beside the sink, and began wiping his face clean.

(My grandmother must have been a little too liberal in her ap-plication of soot).

With his face half-washed, she pulled back, and now it was time for the colour to drain from her face.

Their eyes met as she realized that, no, this young lad seated on her kitchen counter top was not, in fact, her young son, but some other boy from a block over.

It may seem bizarre to us now, but not a word was spoken by ei-ther my father or the lady.

She pressed an apple and six pence into his hand, and next thing he knew, he was standing back out on the sidewalk of Mourne Road, left to wonder what in God’s name had just taken place.

Continued from page 8“She was a ‘big person,’

and you did as you were told,” was my father’s some-what bemused explanation on the phone years later.

Fast forward to this past Monday, and, I am glad to report, that my own daugh-ter’s fi rst Halloween was far less scary – save for the one-eyed clown that appeared at Nana and Poppa Roy’s door-step for candy, which made her cry.

She hit a grand total of three houses on our street in Smiths Falls, but she was every inch adorable as Snow White – minus the black wig her mother had gotten for her that she refused to wear. We might already be entering the Dis-ney princess stage of her life, as Cinderella is now getting as much airtime on the Devoy TV as her other

grand obsession, Sid the Science Kid.

I know that Michaela will grow to love Hallow-een as much as her mother does. My mother, a devout Catholic, was not big on Halloween, always keeping the door dark on the big day. She always made a big deal about keeping the cats, Fuzzbutt and Mittens (guess which one was named by my sister Dympna and which one by us boys), in on Halloween, lest “them Satan crowd gets a hold of ‘dose poor wee cats.”

For as much as my moth-er was paranoid about the fears, real and imagined, of Halloween, I just hope that my daughter will never know any real Halloween fear like my father felt as a little boy, being hauled off into the cold fog by a strang-er’s hand.

Opinion

Father’s foggy fright


BIRDS OF PARADISEIt’s amazing what you see on a random afternoon on Bridge Street in Carleton Place. On Thursday, Oct. 27, one lady, right, was seen carrying this beautiful Bird of Paradise fl ower along the street. Soon afterwards, above, on the other side of the street, in front of the old Queen’s Hotel, two equally beautiful and colourful pink “birds” walked by. To think that it all happened on Bridge Street. Beautiful plummage. Thanks for bright-ening up our day!

CARLETON PLACE – It was a picture perfect day to remember the perfect photog-rapher’s friend.

Family, friends, co-workers and politi-cians gathered on the lawn of the Old Train Station, 132 Coleman St. on Monday, Oct. 31 to dedicate a tree to the late businessman Paul Nelson, who ran the photography store that used to call the station home.

“We are here to pay tribute to Paul Nelson and remember him,” said Sidney Feather-man, the father of Sharon Featherman, Nelson’s partner.

“It’s a real shame for Carleton Place that we couldn’t sell the store and keep it going … (But) this tree is planted for Paul. His remains lie not only in this plot of ground, but within every heart that he touched. He will never leave our hearts.”

Sharon and Sidney read aloud from Psalm 23, a favoured reading at funerals, and Nel-son’s dedicated staff, Kathleen McKay, Don-na Neil and Liv Batstone,

Sidney also announced that the family is hoping to purchase a fi eld stone in Nelson’s honour at the new Market Square develop-ment, currently under construction at the intersection of Beckwith Street and Lake Avenue East.

Many people shared memories not only of Nelson, but the deli that his parents owned and operated at the intersection of Bridge and Emily streets, which later became home

to Nelson’s fi rst photography shop. It was at the deli that Nelson fi rst learned

the art of business from his parents. “I remember his store as a kid,” said

Coun. Jerry Flynn. “It was the only place in town that was open on Christmas Day.”

“I remember the great milkshakes,” said Coun. Rob Probert with obvious delight.

“Why was (the deli) successful?” asked Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “Be-cause of personal service. When you went in you knew you were going to be treated well. A satisfi ed customer is a return cus-tomer.”

LeBlanc noted that Nelson gave back to his community, as a founding member of the Carleton Place Business Improvement Area, and sitting on an economic develop-ment committee back in the 1970s. He was also a supporter of the Carleton Place and Beckwith museum and the historical soci-ety.

“It was Paul’s dream to open a vintage camera museum,” LeBlanc recalled. “It’s sad that that dream will not be realized. We’ve really lost a genuine businessman.”

An avid gardener, LeBlanc was not able to resist pulling up a rogue weed poking out from the soil beside the young oak tree be-fore the start of the ceremony, but she com-mended the choice of tree with which to remember Nelson.

“An oak tree is a sign of strength,” said LeBlanc. “It’s a colourful tree.”

Having died at the age of 60, Nelson passed on “way too young,” said LeBlanc.

Photographer’s friend, Paul Nelson, remembered with tree


Paul Nelson’s partner, Sharon Featherman, and her father Sidney, read aloud Psalm 23 during the dedication ceremony for a tree of remembrance in honour of Nelson, as Carleton Place town councillors Jerry Flynn and Rob Probert, and Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, watch on.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – The response was overwhelmingly positive Oct. 21 when the plans to improve August Street Park were discussed at a neighbourhood barbecue.

More than 50 people, many neighbours of the park in northwest Almonte, braved the damp weather to share their thoughts about the proposal to improve the park.

The Mills Community Support Cor-poration encouraged discussion of the plans to upgrade the ‘age-friendly’ park. The proposal caters to all ages, with ideas from a BMX track to gentle walking trails.

Mississippi Mills mayor John Levi dropped by and praised the effort, say-ing it was community involvement at its best. Also on hand was Mississippi Mills parks and recreation co-ordinator Calvin Murphy.

“The feedback was phenomenal,” said Mills community development co-ordi-nator Jeff Mills, who has presented the plans to Mississippi Mills council. “There seems to be a lot of support around town for this.”

Andy and Cathy Ramonal, who live adjacent to the park, were typical of the response. “Very supportive” of the plans,

they said it is encouraging the commu-nity is taking ownership of the park.

If youth get involved in helping devel-op a BMX track and a rink, it will deter vandalism, they noted. Many high school students pass through the park on the way to school, so it makes sense to get the

school involved, they added.The Ramonals said the park, with a

creek running through it, is an attractive place for informal recreation. With some improvements, it has the potential to at-tract people of all generations, they said.

“It’s a great place to come for a walk or

to kick the soccer ball around,” agreed Mills.

The organization is looking for more volunteers to turn the plans into reality, as well as grants to fund development of the park, he said. “We want your time, talent and treasures.”

Town council has encouraged the form-ing a ‘Friends of August Street Park’ to work with the town and get the plans un-derway.

One of the volunteers already involved is Randy Rivington, who set up a rink at the park last year. “It went over very well,” he said, although a mid-winter thaw caused diffi culties.

He would love to do the same again, but needs someone to step forward to provide the water to fl ood the rink. Contact Mills or Rivington if you can help.

Mills thanked several people for mak-ing the barbecue possible, including Jeff Robertson of JR’s Family Restaurant for the donation of hot dogs, buns and the use of his barbecue; Morris Sonnenburg of Dempster’s Bakery for the donation of buns; Adam Lloyd of Shoppers Drug Mart for the drinks; and Don St. John of Don’s Meat Market for hot dogs.

Mills appreciated the offer by Johnny Spinks and Brad Scott to provide musi-cal entertainment, even though it wasn’t possible because of the wet weather.

The Almonte Amateur Radio Club is celebrat-ing the 150th anniversary of the birth of Dr. James Naismith this Sunday, Nov. 6 at the Mill of Kintail.

The voices of Almonte radio amateurs will be travelling the world by invisible waves to honour the Almonte native and inventor of basketball. The public is invited to attend.

Almonte resident Bill Barrie, who is celebrating his 77th year as an amateur radio operator, had the idea for a special event station to honour the inventor of basketball at the Mill of Kintail, near Dr. Naismith’s birthplace. “We’re very pleased to be a partner with Mississippi Valley Conservation on this international project,” he said.

“The staff at the Mill of Kintail have been terrifi c. It’s really going to be an exciting event. Community residents are encouraged to come out and see and hear the operations.”

Club members will be operating in shifts as they talk to the world around the clock at the Mill gatehouse. The public is invited to attend between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the 24-hour project.

AARC volunteers will be on hand to introduce visitors to the fun of amateur radio, and explain the operations of this unique event. They’re hop-ing families will attend too.

There will be opportunities during the day to hear live contacts with radio amateurs close to home, across the continent and at distant locations around the globe. Station operators at the gate-house hope that some visitors will have a chance to make their fi rst on-air contact with one of the club’s volunteers Additional information about the amateur radio club and this special event is available on-line at www.almontearclub.ca.

Continued from frontThe Naismith Foundation and

the Town of Mississippi Mills had been looking to do a dinner theatre-style show to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Nai-smith’s birth.

“When the idea was presented, Fern Martin had been working on a play so that two fi t,” recalled Pugh. “We had a full-length show, which was more than the dinner theatre required.”

The show is not a solid, all-singing, all-dancing musical all the way through.

“(But) you could call it a mu-sical,” said Pugh. “Fern is very clever at writing words for exist-ing melodies … (And) because of Naismith’s Scottish and re-ligious background, she’s used a lot of hymns,” and Scottish songs, in the play.

Pugh noted that she and the cast have been learning a lot about Naismith, beyond the cre-ation of basketball. She was sur-prised to discover that Naismith had three degrees, as a doctor of divinity, as a doctor of medicine, and a degree in physical educa-tion.

Another interesting aspect of Naismith’s life was that he served as a chaplain in the U.S. Army during the First World War.

“He promoted the health of the soldiers,” said Pugh.

“He promoted preventative measures in the brothels,” that his soldiers frequented. He did not push his morality on the men, and was ahead of his time in advocating preventative harm reduction, but he also presented the men with more wholesome alternatives to attending houses of ill repute.

“He recommended that they play basketball and box instead,” said Pugh. “He insisted that they respect their bodies.”

“We’re working very hard,”

said Pugh of the ongoing rehears-als at a Pakenham church. “The cast is putting a great effort into it. A lot of the cast is totally new to it (acting). It’s very rewarding to see their progress.”

The fi rst act of the play centres around the creation of baske-ball, while the play’s second act focuses on the life of Naismith himself.

The section of the play dedi-cated to Naismith’s creation of basketball is done in pantomime format.

“It co-relates to the singing of the 13 rules (of basketball),” said Pugh.

But Pugh took advice not to let Naismith get upstaged by a bas-ketball to heart.

“We were advised not to put a ball on stage,” said Pugh. “It dis-tracts from the fl ow of the play.”

When the basketball does make its brief cameo appearance, it is “slowly, carefully” placed into the iconic peach basket. The play does not dwell too much on the moment when Naismith taught the game to his students in Springfi eld, Massachusetts.

“Everybody knows that story, so we’re not going to re-tell that one,” said Pugh.

While Naismith became an American citizen later in his life, and spent most of his years in America, Pugh and Martin in-sisted that “in spite of all of this, he is ours, he is Canadian.”

The musical comes out at a time when there will be several events being held in Mississippi Mills to commemorate Dr. Nai-smith’s life.

There will be a basketball tournament held at Almonte and District High School and at Nai-smith Memorial Public School this Saturday, Nov. 5.

There will also be a birthday party held at 6 p.m. on the same day at the Almonte Civitan Hall, 500 Almonte St.

Lanark County OPP have released the 2010 community satisfaction survey re-sults.

It was the fi rst year that the police have decided to use an outside research compa-ny, compared to the volunteer run surveys in previous years.

The results are a compilation of the 382 responses, 151 of which were from Missis-sippi Mills and Lanark Highlands, 98 from Carleton Place, and 69 from Beckwith and Montague.

Overall, the results were consistently positive with community members who

were satisfi ed or very satisfi ed with po-lice.

Almost all respondents, 97.9 per cent, reported feeling safe, or very safe in the community.

A quarter of the people said they had con-tact with the OPP in the past year, whether it was a roadway incident, been charged with a crime or witnessed a crime.

The only spot that the police fell short on was a question asking if the OPP is pro-viding enough information to the public about local programs and initiatives. Only slightly over half of the respondents said yes.

To view the OPP report, visit www.mis-sissippimills.ca.

Rona Home Centre in Carleton Place, held its second annual ‘Stuff the Police Cruiser with Snowsuits’ Drive Oct. 22.

The one-day blitz for the Lanark Coun-ty Snowsuit campaign was organized by Duane Irvine with help from the Carleton Place OPP Auxiliary offi cers Paul Strau-mann and Chris Warren. Also in an at-tendance was Margo Bell, co-coordinator for the Lanark County CAS – Snowsuit Campaign.

Rona offi cials decided to continue par-ticipating in the campaign as there is a

growing need for Snowsuits in Lanark County, which encompasses the towns of Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth, Smiths Falls and the surrounding rural areas.

This year, the ‘Stuff the Police Cruiser with Snowsuits’ Drive succeeded in col-lecting 21 new or gently used snowsuits, coats and snow pants as well raising $558.85 in cash donations to purchase new ones.

The collected items will help keep chil-dren, from babies to older teens, warm this winter.

Searching for Investment Income? Explore All Your Options

STACIE ROBERTSON

Advertorial

R0011166602

As an investor, you obviously want your money to grow over time. But at many points in your life, you’ll also need your investments to provide you with income. Fortunately, you’ve got some good choices available to help produce the income you’ll need — today and in the future.

Consider the following types of income-pro-ducing vehicles:

Fixed-income ladders — Fixed-income investments, such as bonds and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), provide income in the form of interest payments. Typically, longer-term bonds pay higher interest rates to reward you for locking up your money for an extended time period. However, you may not want to just stock up on long-term bonds, because when interest rates rise, longer-term bonds tend to fall more in price. To help reduce this volatility, you may want to build a fixed-income “ladder” of bonds and GICs of varying maturities. When interest rates are low, you’ll still have your higher-paying, longer-term bonds working for you. But when market rates rise, you can reinvest the cash from your maturing shorter-term bonds and buy new ones that pay the higher rates.

Income guarantees — Unless a bond issuer defaults, you can generally count on receiving regular interest payments. But if you want an even stronger income guarantee, you may want to invest in an immedi-ate annuity or segregated funds with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWBs). As its name suggests, an imme-diate annuity will make pay-ments immediately, or very soon after purchase, and these payments can continue for the rest of your life. A segregated fund with a GMWB provides some protection by allowing you to withdraw a percentage of your investment annually guaranteed for life. The down side of immediate annuities and segregated funds is that they may give you less access to your principal than other investment vehicles, as well as less inflation protection and higher fees. But the opportuni-ty to have a guaranteed income for life may outweigh those dis-advantages.

Dividend-paying stocks — You can invest in stocks or stock-based mutual funds that provide income in the form of dividends. If you don’t currently need the income, you can reinvest the dividends, thereby increasing the amount of shares you own.

Of course, you will be incurring greater risk to your principal than if you invested in fixed-income vehicles or immediate annuities. Also, companies can reduce or eliminate dividends at any time without notice. However, dividend-pay-ing stocks typically offer much higher returns than bonds. And in fact, for the last 10 years, the average return for dividend-paying stocks exceeded the return for stocks that don’t offer dividends.

Furthermore, many companies have consis-tently increased their dividends year after year. This means that by investing in some dividend-paying stocks, you can achieve rising income, which you will need to stay ahead of inflation. This is especially true during your retirement years, when you may no longer be able to count on regular increases in earned income from employment.

A professional financial advisor can help you choose the right mix of income-producing vehi-cles — bond ladders, immediate annuities, seg-regated funds with GMWBs and dividend-pay-ing stocks — to meet your needs, given your risk tolerance, family situation and other factors. By creating an effective investment strategy, you can go a long way toward achieving the income you need to reach your goals.

ALMONTE – A simple urinary tract infection may be all it takes to bring about delirium in se-niors.

While a child might get a fever as a symptom of, say, a cold, which can be treated with medication, an infection might manifest itself in a senior with, literally, an overnight change in behaviour and mood.

Usually, however, once a uri-nary tract infection clears up, so too does the delirium.

This is just one of the many problems being faced by seniors and those who care for them brought up during a recent ‘Lunch and Learn’ session at the Mills Home Support Corpora-tion’s head offi ce in Almonte Oct. 31.

What makes diagnosis and treatment even more diffi cult for some seniors is if they have de-mentia. The meeting heard that while keeping seniors active and social is important, there are some areas where adding demen-tia to the mix makes a diffi cult situation all the more so.

PREVENTING FALLS

Falls are a major cause of concern, but preventing falls for seniors, especially those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, can be especially dif-fi cult, considering provincial legislation regarding patient consent on restraints.

“Imagine someone with de-mentia, who can’t communicate with you,” said Wendy Powell, the manger of the Mills’ assisted living program.

The luncheon heard of one

care worker who dealt with a woman in her 80s confi ned to a wheelchair who had Alzheimer’s. The lady kept sliding out of her wheelchair, but the nurses were unable to use a restraint, like a seat belt, on her, because she was unable to give her consent.

The personal support worker feared the woman would break her hip during one of these falls, which would require her to be put into long term care.

“It allows people to live with the dignity of risk,” said Powell.

One of her clients has admit-ted to her that, “‘I know I should use a walker. But I’m not going to and I know the risks.’ They’ve made an informed choice … That’s hard for families.”

ALZHEIMER MEDICATION

Many families are hoping and praying for the day when cures can be found for Alzheimer’s, cancer or strokes. But some American T.V. advertisements for new Alzheimer’s medication, which seeks to “control” the de-generative memory loss disease, may be creating false hope.

“Those drugs have a good purpose,” said Powell. “They aren’t going to get better (the victim). They will slow the pro-cess down. They won’t reverse it … it might buy you some time.” “It’s not effective with everyone,” added Laurie Anderson, care co-ordinator for the assisted living program, which helps 25 people in Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills. “But you’ll try anything.”

Anderson added that mental exercises like crossword puzzles, and physical exercise, were also good at keeping dementia, and Alzheimer pre-cursors like Pick’s disease, at bay.

ALMONTE – You can now get some answers to your deep spiritual and philo-sophical questions to go with biscotti and latte.

Pastor Paul Benson of the Almonte Baptist Church has started an informal, non-denominational ‘Spiritscapes Con-versations’, which is in the middle of a fi ve-week run at Equator Coffee Roasters at 451 Ottawa St. in Almonte.

The fi rst session was held in the back conference room, and the remaining three sessions are held every Wednesday at noon.

“This is a dialogue, this is not me teach-ing,” said Benson to the small group gath-ered over coffee and hearty soup.

The idea of holding a spiritual coffee house, a place where debate and ideas have long percolated, arose shortly after he gave a talk on spirituality and aging at the Seniors Expo in Almonte last month.

“It’s an idea that came to me in terms of the number of people out there who have questions,” said Benson.

“If we can be a catalyst for that, that’s my purpose.”

The topic of conversation and refl ec-tion for the fi rst session was “Where is God when I hurt?” but other suggested topics for the coming weeks include “Is Jesus the Only Way to Heaven?” and “Is

The Bible Trustworthy?” Tragedy and loss certainly affects ev-

eryone and with Remembrance Day ap-proaching, and with some families hav-ing celebrated Thanksgiving – or about to celebrated Christmas – without a loved one for the fi rst time, it is a question that is on many people’s minds.

Benson pointed to the untimely death of Princess Diana in a car crash in 1997.

“Why isn’t she there?” at the recent roy-al wedding, Benson asked. “She should be there. Why that family and not somebody else?”

But commoners too feel the sting of tragedy. One family Benson knows of lost a son in a motorcycle crash. Ten years to the day later, their daughter also died tragically.

Benson has seen it himself in his work.

“I’ve buried a number of young people in my time as pastor,” said Benson. “One of my very fi rst funerals was a baby that had been stillborn. It was a tiny casket. The parents were there in the church. It was one of my hardest celebrations of life. Some people are taking their life. This child had no life at all.”

In all of this comes the natural ques-tion – where is God? In the remainder of the series, Benson is asking people of all faiths – or even no faith – to come and take part in a discussion on these very human issues.

“Everybody has trauma in their lives,” said Benson, pointing to Luke 7:20, where John the Baptist, who baptized his cousin Jesus Christ, and was one of his biggest fans, suddenly fi nds himself thrown in jail by King Herod, and even he begins to doubt.

“All of us have a little bit of doubt about things in our lives … We feel stuck now, but some day soon, we won’t be stuck,” he said. “We fail to see beyond the problem and we fail to see what could be.”

In 1980, Benson too began to doubt, when all that he once held as true ap-peared to dissolve in front of him when his wife left him for another man.

“I had been protected from the world in that anything I needed, I got,” said Benson of his childhood. “I never had a bad experience in my life. I thought that happened to other people. ‘God will pro-tect me,’ I thought … that world view col-

lapsed.” He lost his job ministering at a thriving church, his income and his mar-riage.

“I could not see beyond the problem,” said Benson. “When you come across a problem that is larger than yourself … you have to see what could be, not what is.”

By 1988, his life was back on track. “Hurt is not the end,” he said. He pointed to the example of Victor

Frankl, a Holocaust survivor who ob-served that “suffering is not in vain. Somehow, you will benefi t from it.”

Frankl had an epiphany one day while some Nazi guards were beating him and verbally abusing him.

“This isn’t the end,” said Frankl. “What’s going to happen when I get out of here?”

The end was not an end, but a means to a better end.

Carleton Place Canadians got off to a early start against the visiting Kemptville 73s Saturday afternoon, eventually scoring their way to a 9-3 victory. A strong defensive game for the Canadians held the 73s to only 21 shots, despite some early penalty trouble for the home team. The Cana-dians beat Kemptville twice on the weekend.

Both the Carleton Place Canadians and Almonte Thunder had winning weekends.

The Junior A hockey Canadians were on an eight-game winning streak as of press time, with another game to be played Tuesday evening, keeping up in their national ranking at 16th place.

Carleton Place played the Kemp-tville 73s twice, once on Friday and once on Saturday evening, and came out on top both times.

Friday night’s match-up gave the Canadians an 8-1 win, with goals from Daniel Kolenda (two), Luke Ed-wards, Luke Martin, Elias Ghantous, Ryan Parker, Shayne Morrisssey and Anthony McVeigh. Joe Yetman earned the win between the pipes.

On Saturday, the Canadians won 9-3 against the 73s. The almost dou-ble-digit goal count was credited to Shayne Morrissey (hat-trick), Dan-iel Kolenda, Devin Campbell, Jay Llewelyn, Ben Murphy, Ryan Parker and Luke Edwards, with Brodie Bar-rick taking his turn in the net.

The Canadians play this weekend in Smiths Falls Friday night and Sunday afternoon at home against division-leading Cornwall Colts.

In Junior B hockey action, the Almonte Thunder had two strong scoring games as well last weekend, beating the Ottawa Jr. Canadians 6-1 Friday evening, then crushing Stitts-ville 8-2 Sunday.

Friday’s game had goals from Der-ek Lowry and Andrew Rowbotham and singles by Tyson Stewart and Luciano Pietrantonio.

Sunday was a huge game for Low-

ry, who scored four goals for the sec-ond time in two weeks. He was joined in the scoring column by Kyle Knox, Kyle Killeen, Liam Killeen and Tyler MacDonald.

ERIC LEIGHTON TRIBUTE

There will be a special tribute to Eric Leighton Sunday before the Thunder’s game at home.

Leighton was a 2010-11 Almonte Thunder player who passed away in a shop class accident at his high school in Barrhaven in the spring.

His family will be in attendance for the special presentation, and to drop the puck.

The Thunder take on Leighton’s former team, the Ottawa West Gold-en Knights at home at the Almonte arena. Face-off is at 4:30 p.m.

Strong weekend for Carleton Place Canadians, Almonte Thunder


NO MORE MOPhysical education teacher Jamie Bell kicked off Movember at CPHS on Nov. 1 by getting rid of his 35-year-old mustache, much to the amuse-ment of the students, and his wife - who has never seen him without one. Bell has been a teacher at CPHS for 15 of those 35 years, and is joined by 37 other staff members and students in growing a mustache - or re-growing, for Bell, to promote ‘Movember’, a fundraiser for pros-tate cancer. Teachers are collecting donations from students through-out the month in homeroom.

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier has been re-appointed Ontario Pro-gressive Conservatives critic for labour.

PC Leader Tim Hudak made the announcement Oct. 25 in unveiling his shadow cabinet.

Newly elected Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren has been appointed the party’s deputy critic for Transportation and Infrastruc-ture.

Hillier, who served as the Labour critic for the PCs in the previous Legislative session, said he is “honoured to be chosen to once again hold the Ministry of Labour to account.”

“Having served as critic for the past two years, I understand the necessity of advocating for im-proved labour practices while acknowledging the challenges our employers and workers face on a daily basis in the Province of Ontario,” said Hill-ier.

Hillier maintained that the Ministry of La-bour’s mandate is to administer workplace stan-dards and to encourage greater workplace self-re-liance.

The ministry introduced more legislation than any other Ministry of the provincial government last session, he said.

Hillier renamed labour critic

BRIER DODGE

[email protected]

CARLETON PLACE - Jas-mine Denomme has been cho-sen at the athlete of month at J.L. Couroux in Carleton Place. She was chosen because she is a versatile athlete, compet-ing in a variety of activities.

Denomme plays competitive soc-cer for the Lanark girls premier team, and participates in swim-ming, horseback riding, volley-ball, basketball, and track and fi eld.

“She always displays great sportsmanship and a positive attitude,” said teacher Carole Morin-Earle. She said that De-nomme enjoys new challenges and is an excellent role model for her peers.

Denomme hopes to continue playing competitive soccer, and play for her high school team.

Above, Almonte District High School senior Bolts cel-ebrate following a semi-fi nal football win over Smiths Falls Tuesday that sent them into Friday’s Lanark fi -nals, likely against St. John’s of Perth. Both teams fi nished the season at 5-0-1. Top middle, senior CPHS player Scott Lackey hoists teammate Konor Poulin as Brad Nelson and Nathan Pappas run to congratulate them following a touchdown on Oct. 27. ADHS beat CPHS 28-6 in the senior Bears last game of the sea-son. Bottom middle, CPHS junior player Stirling Parks tackles a St. John’s player, as Jamie McNaughton helps. CPHS juniors won the Oct. 27 game, which was their last of the season, 9-7. CPHS’s record was 4-3.

It is with sadness that we remember the loss of our father.

If you got to know our Dad, you would have recognized his patience and dedication.

Dad was a United Empire Loyalist. A true representation of a New Brunswicker. A real Canadian.

It does not matter how old you are, everyone needs a friend. If only all of our friends could be just like our Dad.

We miss you Dad, we all miss you.Love,

CARLETON PLACE – Coun. Louis Antonakos may have inad-vertently invited some competi-tion to run against himself in three years time.

On the fi rst anniversary of last year’s municipal elections, council was introduced to sev-eral eager beaver good citizens who wanted to know more about what makes local government tick.

“In three years time, they are expected to put their name for-ward (for election),” said Anton-akos, jokingly.

The eight members of the third annual Municipal Acad-emy were presented to the town council, and received their cer-tifi cates from Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, during the town coun-cil meeting on the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 25.

The graduates were taught by town clerk Duncan Rogers and chief administrative offi cer Paul Knowles for several classes,

which looked at everything from the province’s Municipal Act to the three levels of government, to how a motion gets presented at council.

The idea for the program came about from the Sister Cit-ies Committee, and a similar program offered to the citizens of Franklin, Tennessee.

The council also welcomed its newest Community Emergency

Response Volunteer (CERV) graduate, Peter Lowes, who was conferred with his diploma by LeBlanc, and who received his offi cial garb of offi ce.

NEW COMMUNITY PROGRAMMER

Carleton Place’s bubbly new community programmer, Jes-sica Smith, was also introduced to council.

Smith is a graduate of the facility and recreation manage-ment program at Algonquin Col-lege, and has interned with the Renfrew and Ottawa recreation departments. Her job is to pro-mote and develop community events in the town.

One of her fi rst such initia-tives was the ‘Just Try It’ pro-gram, which invited citizens to try out the various programs of-

fered by the town, risk-free. “I’m lovin’ the department,

lovin’ C.P.,” said Smith, who has been with the department for fi ve months, and had just wrapped up carving pumpkins and tying up loot bags for the haunted house at the Moore House last weekend.

“Your enthusiasm is very evi-dent,” said Coun. Doug Black. “It is very refreshing.”

Nature/Community

Some summer birds are still lingering in our area.

On Oct. 18, an American robin was in Georgina Doe’s garden, in Carleton Place. That day, in Ramsay Ward, Joyce Clinton had a Swainson’s thrush and two white-throated sparrows under her feeders.

On Sunday morning, in Al-monte, a robin was singing from the top of a tree on Clyde Street.

Along Gleeson Road, Almon-te area, fi ve robins fl ew across the road Oct. 25.

On Oct. 24, Georgina and I drove into Ottawa to try to see a reported razor-bill, a seabird from the east coast. It is a chunky black bird, white below, with a white band across the bill. It has been in the Ottawa River for several days, but not

visible to us that day.We did spot three great blue

herons in our travels. Must try again.

Over the weekend of Oct. 22-23, Bob Deschamps, along Old Perth Road, watched a red-tailed hawk eyeing a dead raccoon. Would it decide to try it before some of the ever-present vultures arrive to complete the meal?

That weekend was busy for birders. Ray Holland, in Pakenham, had white-winged

crossbills and evening grosbeaks feeding in the trees near his home. An eastern phoebe was still around, plus a yellow-rumped warbler, and three red-bellied woodpeckers. Not to be outdone, a fl ock of pine siskins arrived to join them.

When Ray was fi shing at Sand Point

near Arnprior, a northern gannet fl ew by. Then, Ray was fortunate to see the razorbill in the Britannia Conservation area.

Oct. 23, Kaija Mountain was doing a run with her dogs in Ramsay Ward. Sud-denly, overhead, sandhill cranes called, then landed in a fi eld. They fed by the edge of a woods, on the far side.

Half an hour later, I drove to the area, but could not fi nd them.

In Beckwith Township, Randy Mari-nelli had a northern goshawk visit for two days, and spotted a red-tailed hawk. A group of 15-20 pine siskins and a gold-en-crowned kinglet visited his property also.

Autumn is closing since the chipping sparrow left Oct. 20.

Please call Lynda at 613-256-5013, or email [email protected] with bird re-ports.

THERESA PELUSO

Green Talk

Dear Readers:Those of you who have been

reading my monthly Green Talk column for the last two years have a fairly good idea of my views on the environment.

This being a community news-paper, I would like to share the views of other members of our community. Chandler Swain, a well-known potter who lives in Blakeney, was kind enough to act as my guinea pig and answer the following questions.

Please think about how you would answer these questions; I would welcome your responses for possible publication in this newspaper. Remember: we need to care for our planet. We can’t live without it!

TEN QUESTIONS

1. What is your name and occupation?

A: Chandler Swain: visual art-ist, art teacher and potter.

2. List fi ve words that best describe the importance of the environment to you.

A: Miraculous, nurturing , sustaining, home, future.

3. How does the environ-ment affect your work and your hobbies?

A: Utterly. If the air and water are not healthy, everything suf-fers.

4. How do your work and your hobbies affect the envi-ronment?

A: I am constantly aware of the resources I use and try not to create a lot of waste.

Pottery is a resource-heavy art form. Therefore, every teeny thing I can reuse and recycle in the studio I try to do.

I use electricity to fi re kilns and a car to transport materials and ware. I heat a separate stu-dio building.

Every step of the way I try to be careful with the energy I use: Combine trips so I use the car less. Drive slower (and since I have gotten used to this, I really enjoy the slower pace). Drive a

small energy-effi cient car, fi re the kilns as full as possible and at night ... on and on.

5. What do you feel is the biggest problem affecting the health of our planet?

A: That is such a complex is-sue: I guess it starts with so many people (most poor and desperate) striving for the basic resources to live.

Terrible inequity forces many to just do what they can to sur-vive; the health of the environ-ment is not on their agenda.

We are also led to believe that we need to exploit resources that are obviously endangered for the “growth of the economy” which in itself is not a sustainable con-cept.

The big problem is not paying attention to the writing on the wall.

6. How does our community contribute to the problem?

A: I fi nd it so curious that there is rush hour in our little town. We ought to be creating a commuter system to get people to Kanata and Ottawa.

I grew up west of Toronto and can remember the fi rst day the GO trains started in about 1968, and have lived in England where commuter trains are essential.

Country bus service is also very important there. We need to do better on the public transit scenario. Good public transit is a pleasure. I took the GO train recently at rush hour and it was very impressive.

Also, I hope our area doesn’t turn into the kind of urban sprawl as was created where I grew up in what is now Missis-sauga. It looked like Mississippi Mills when I was a kid.

7. How can our community change for the better?

A: Stop turning farmland into suburbs. Make the towns more vibrant with more intensive in-fi ll housing where one can walk to do most basic shopping and recreation and get to schools.

I guess getting people truly interested in the issues: helping people to see that the future be-longs to our children and that we have a responsibility to leave the

planet in good shape for them. Education on the issues is cru-cial.

8. What are you doing to im-prove your carbon footprint?

A: Driving a smaller car, slow-er. Improving insulation and heating systems in our house. We did an energy audit and have insulated the basement walls, for example.

Also, we try to eat local, organ-ic produce and other food.

9. If you had a million dol-lars to spend on the environ-ment, what would you do?

A: I might set up a bunch of bursaries that would enable more young people to study envi-ronmental science or work in the area of sustainable agriculture.

10. If you were to send a twitter message (140 charac-ters or less) to our Prime Min-ister about the environment, what would it say?

A: Alternative energy produc-tion can create plenty of jobs without sacrifi cing the environ-ment. The world needs us to smarten up.

Ten questions: how should we be caring for our planet?

MARK YOUR CALENDARSThe Compost Yard will be closing Saturday, Nov. 19

WINTER PARKINGAt their meeting October 11, 2011, Carleton Place Town Council enacted signifi cant changes to the Town’s policy on winter parking. For more than fi fty years Carleton Place has employed a total ban on parking overnight on town streets between November 15 and April 1 each year.

That system was put in place during an era when delivering a message to the entire community in a timely manner was diffi cult to accomplish. In today’s environment the means of mass communication are extensive and easily accessible by most if not all citizens.

The new parking restrictions, which will take eff ect with the coming winter season are meant to mirror the system used by the City of Ottawa in order to reduce any possible confusion. In short this means:1. Any time Environment Canada forecasts a snowfall of 7 cm or more an overnight parking ban will be in eff ect. This includes any forecast that calls for a range of snowfall exceeding 7 cm (ie. 5 to 10 cm). 2. When this ban is in eff ect parking is prohibited on all town streets between 11 pm and 7 am to allow for snow clearing operations. Vehicles parked in violation of the ban will be ticketed and towed to a nearby street where the snow has been cleared already.3. The existing ban on parking on streets where snow removal operations are taking place remains in eff ect. With the new system signage will be placed on streets prior to snow removal in order to give people time to remove their vehicles. Vehicles that are not moved will be ticketed and towed to a nearby street.4. Town staff have been directed to determine the most effi cient means to notify the public when a parking ban has been issued. This will include notifi cation being posted on the municipal web site (http://www.carletonplace.ca/) and citizens are urged to check this website if in doubt. Additionally, since the system mirrors Ottawa’s, residents should monitor local television and radio and if there is a parking ban in Ottawa, then there is also a ban in eff ect in Carleton Place.

Council is confi dent that these improvements to our winter parking restrictions will allow our citizens more fl exibility in parking their vehicles while at the same time ensuring that our streets can be cleared of snow in a timely and effi cient manner. Any resident with questions about the changes should feel free to contact Les Reynolds, Director of Protective Services at 613-257-5526 or [email protected] for more information.
