GILES GAVE $8,000 ON 80TH BIRTHDAY Continued from page 1

James Parish Hall. Governor General Julie Payette sent a letter of congratulations to Orm. "Over your lifetime, you have had unique experiences and met some remarkable people," she wrote. "You have witnessed the great moments in our history and seen Canada come of age as a country." The former astronaut noted, "You have lived through a period of incredible change and even seen the dawn of the Space Age!" Payette wished Orm a very special day filled with happiness. Carleton Place Mayor Doug Black was in attendance, making a special presentation. "I learned a lot from Orm over the years ... he is somewhat of a mentor," he stated. Black talked about the

two types of politicians. Some get elected and serve, doing a wonderful job, but when they decide not to run again they are done. "With Orm ... there was never a distinction in his effort as an elected official or resident," the mayor said. "I am very proud to be here ... you can feel the love." Black wished Orm all the best on behalf of council and town staff. CPDMH Foundation executive director Robyn Arseneau and board member Norma Hamilton accepted the gift from Orm on Saturday. "His generosity has grown more than his birthday celebrations," Arseneau commented. "The money will be used for patient care equipment, which makes the quality of care we deliver much better." Earning laughter from the crowd, she teased: "We

are looking forward to the next 10 years." Before cutting his birthday cake, Orm thanked everyone for coming. "I did not organize this ... Stephen (son Stephen Giles) and Sylvia did a terrific job," he said. Orm also thanked the kitchen staff at St. James Parish Hall. Many members of Orm's family travelled a good many kilometres to attend the festivities. He asked them all to stand. "We are one big family," Orm stated, and "I always stress we need to keep in touch with one another, which we do." He added: "When I am not around ... I only hope someone will carry it on because there is nothing like family."

ABOUT ORM Orm was born in Carleton Place in 1929, and he

JUNE 7TH - 9TH

has lived in the town his whole life. "Dad is a pretty resilient man," Sylvia said. "His motto: You got to keep moving ... he has always been on the go." Orm has been involved in community service for decades. He was instrumental in forming the 16-21 Club, a youth club located in the old Odd Fellows Hall at the corner of Albert and Beckwith streets, and he coached and refereed minor hockey. "He was instrumental in fundraising for the community centre on Neelin Street in Carleton Place," Sylvia said. Orm was chair of the town's 150th birthday celebrations, which ran from July 5 to July 12 in 1969. Profits from the weeklong celebration were turned over to the building fund for the new Neelin Street arena. "He was a Carleton Place council member, serving 32 years," Sylvia said. "He was reeve and

deputy reeve and councillor. During this time, he served on many committees, and he was instrumental in bringing many things to our community." Naming a few: present day sewage treatment facility, blue box program, Carleton Place pool, Mississippi Manor - the first subdivision in town, and many recreational parks. "Dad was always on top of the infrastructure of Carleton Place," Sylvia stated. "One of the projects he is most proud of was the repointing of the town hall, and along with other members of council, he was a big part in having the clock put back in the tower." Orm was elected warden of Lanark County in 1995. Other accomplishments: 11 years on the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority board; nine years on the CPDMH board; three years on the CPDMH Foundation board; past president of Land O' Lakes Shrine Club; 30-year member of Tunis

STORM INTERNET BREAKS GROUND ON CLAYTON BROADBAND PROJECT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com If all goes according to plan, by this July more than 100 Clayton residents will have access to broadband internet services. Perth-based Storm Internet broke ground on the pilot project May 13, which will see fibre buried in the roadbeds on Mississippi Mills and Lanark County roads. The initiative is being led by citizen group MM2020, which has been pushing to bring broadband internet access to the entire municipality by the year 2020, but funded by Storm Internet. According to Storm Internet's Grant Street, 110 of 154 homes in Clayton are estimated to receive upgraded 1GB services by July. "About 85 have signed up and we will keep going as we can." MM2020's Mark Joynes

and Street were at Mississippi Mills council May 21 to provide an update and appeared before Lanark County's economic development committee the next evening, May 22. The pilot was jump-started by a spring 2018 survey of 1,600 homes in Mississippi Mills (Pakenham, Clayton and Blakeney). It yielded a 50 per cent response rate that showed residents are dissatisfied with their internet service. For Joynes and the core group of 20 volunteers who have been making this their mission, he hopes Mississippi Mills or the county will pick up the ball and keep running with it to roll out the model. He thanked the municipality for its contribution of $20,000, but to bring fibre to the remaining areas of Mississippi Mills deficient in high-speed internet, Joynes said the estimate is in the millions. To

serve Ramsay residents it would be $2.5 million and the remainder would top $5.5 million. "That pilot is really going to drive demand, but the funding has to come from somewhere," he stated. " ... MM2020 would like to feel that we're part of something rather than pushing it," Joynes continued. "We'd like the municipal and county leaders to think outside the box." In preliminary research, Joynes said the funding could come through a public-private sector partnership, a notfor-profit co-operative or as a division of a public utility, such as the Mississippi River Power Corporation. "We have a communityowned energy organization, maybe this could be a separate division there," Joynes suggested. "We just need to have that discussion."

He also hoped rural broadband would be identified as a focus within Mississippi Mills' strategic plan, which is set to be updated this year. "I see it (broadband) as connective in our future economic development," Joynes said. "It is the next highway and is every bit as important as our roads." Mayor Christa Lowry indicated she had recently made federal Minister of Rural Economic Development, Bernadette Jordan, aware of the work done by MM2020, who was impressed. "Whether that amounts to anything, we don't know," she said. Joynes asked for a council response at its June 4 meeting.

COUNTY ASKED TO LOOK AT RADAR SIGNS IN PAKENHAM ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com To ensure the safety of both motorists and pedestrians, Mississippi Mills council is asking Lanark County to consider implementing some changes along County Road 29 through Pakenham. At its May 21 meeting, council passed a motion to seek input from the county on installing automated radar signs for speeding at the north and south ends of Pakenham. Taking it a step further, they also want to see the creation of a Community Safety Zone on County Road 29 from the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail overpass to the 5Span Bridge. Both items came as recommendations from the May 6 meeting of the Mississippi Mills public works advisory committee. In a report prepared by volunteers of that committee, it was stated traffic calming measures are "long overdue" and implementing these items will maximize pedestrian safety and "the intersections will function for all vehi-

Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille, who also sits on the public works committee, said there is certain criteria to meet in establishing a Community Safety Zone. It involves passing a bylaw specifying times it is in effect, erecting signs, a penalty schedule for fines and increased enforcement. "It's on a county road County Road 29 - so it's the

county's decision as to whether those thresholds would be met," noted roads and public works director Guy Bourgon, whose staff do not support the recommendations. Having seen research where these zones have been effective, Coun. John Dalgity said he'd like to see the county's input on the matter "and whether they would pay for it and how this would play out."

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? THE HUB RENOS IN ALMONTE

The curtains will soon be opened to reveal the Phase 1 renovations of The Hub in Almonte, a thrift store staple in the community for more than 44 years run by Almonte Community Coordinators. The Hub's location at 14 Industrial Avenue was closed end of day Friday, May 24 in anticipation of its grand reopening June 8 at 118 Mill Street.

JUST THE FACTS: • Located in downtown Almonte in the former O'Brien Theatre, the $350,000 revitalization project was designed by local architect Peter Mansfield. It includes revealing the original theatre ceilings and projection booth.

• Once completed, Phase 1 will feature social services offices on the upper mezzanine, a spacious and improved retail area, as accessible public washrooms and new communal and sorting areas. The heating, electrical and plumbing systems have also all been updated. • Since its inception in May 1974, the Hub has contributed more than $1 million to the community. In 2018, it gave back $46,400. For more information, visit www.thehubalmonte.com.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The wheels are in motion to dedicate a highway overpass in Beckwith in honour of a fallen Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer. OPP notified the township last September of its efforts in dedicating the bridge over Highway 7 at Cemetery Sideroad in memory of Const. John A.C. Behan, who was killed while on duty in 1956. According to Coun. Faye Campbell, the matter was discussed further during a meeting of Beckwith council on March 5, with the group giving its full support. The bridge dedication would be the first such honour to be bestowed upon a structure within Lanark County. "No date has been set," Const. Joe Tereschuk told the Canadian Gazette on May 22. Tereschuk replaced Const. Greg Streng as the area's community services officer in January. "We have submitted all the necessary documents to the MTO for approval," Tereschuk noted. Behan, 22, was driving on Highway 7 between Maberly and Silver Lake when he lost his life. It was 63 years on April 14.

Const. Harold Crain was with him in the cruiser. The two constables only met the day before. According to the OPP Association, it was near the end of their shift. Behran was travelling 55 to 65 kilometres per hour, and after failing to negotiate a curve, the cruiser drifted onto the gravel shoulder of the highway and careened into a ditch, striking several tree stumps and rolling multiple times. Both Behan and Crain were thrown from the vehicle. Behan died at the scene. Crain sustained severe injuries but recovered. Behan was born in Ottawa. In 1953, at age 19, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. However, he left three months later. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police came next, with Behan serving three years - until 1956. He was appointed to the OPP the same year. Behan served in Brockville initially, before being transferred to Perth. Only three months on the job he was killed. In 2002, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) began permitting highway structures and bridges to be dedicated in memory of fallen police officers. Today, there are nearly 60 dedications across Ontario, which honour sacrifice and service. Behan is buried at Notre Dame Cemetery in Ottawa.

Coun. Jan Maydan asked about the results of the most recent speed test that would have been done in the village. "I don't have the speed survey that was done by the county some time ago now, I believe a year," Bourgon answered. "It didn't identify what they thought was a speeding concern through the village of Pakenham." Alternate crosswalk options These recommendations fit in with others made by Mississippi Mills' public works advisory committee regarding Pakenham pedestrian crosswalk configurations. They suggested any crosswalks be built to provincial standards, installed the full lane widths of County Road 29 and flashing lights be mounted on crossing sign signal arms. Other asks were to maintain a timing sequence for children and seniors and to construct sidewalk approaches in line with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, which would feature tactile walking surface indicators. These are not supported by the municipality's public works department. Council deferred a decision on that matter due to the absence of Coun. Denzil Ferguson, the Pakenham ward representative, but asked Bourgon to bring a report back to council on the possible costs of these measures. "Can we give direction to get a cost analysis on this recommendation? We need to know the cost of it to approve the recommendation," Dalgity stated. "I think it would be important to find that out beforehand." Coun. Bev Holmes wondered if council could wait and deal with the radar sign and Community Safety Zone matter at the same time. "They're different. The crosswalk piece is directing our staff to give us some costing on it," explained Mayor Christa Lowry. "We can't direct county staff. We either send it or we don't." Both the county and Mississippi Mills approved the installation of two new pedestrian crossovers on County Road 29 in their 2019 budgets; one at Waba Road/Elizabeth Street and another at the Jeanie Street intersection. The total estimated cost is $130,000 ($30,000 for each crossover and $70,000 for bump outs). There have been concerns about farm equipment and large tractor trailers being unable to navigate the bump outs, which prompted the public works advisory committee to suggest alternate options for consideration.

EYES ON THE ROAD

The arrival of warmer weather brings with it increased traffic on our roads as people hit the highways after a long winter. Canada Road Safety Week is part of our country's broader Road Safety Strategy 2025, which aims to make Canada's roads the safest in the world. So far this year, 58 people have died on Ontario Provincial Police-patrolled roads. Speed, alcohol/drugs, inattentive driving and lack of seatbelt use are linked to almost half (45 per cent) of the deaths. There were 97 road fatalities this time last year, with more than half (53 per cent) of the deaths linked to these same factors. And while police are relieved to see a significant decrease in preventable road fatalities, they caution that poor behaviours on the road can easily tip the scales in the wrong direction. In 2018, more than half of the 332 deaths on OPP-patrolled roads were attributed to speed, alcohol/drugs, inattentive driving and lack of seatbelt use. Canada Road Safety Week is an annual enforcement and education-driven initiative led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. The campaign aims to increase public compliance with safe driving with the specific goals to reduce injuries and save lives on our roads. This week and always, OPP officers were highly visible in their efforts to keep roads safe. According to a police report, OPP officers laid a total of 12,000 traffic charges from May 14-20, more than 10,000 for speeding. There were 226 charges for stunt driving; 525 seatbelt offences, 251 charges for distracted driving and 162 impaired driving charges. While police hope to see motorists take steps to make our roads safer on their own rather than through enforcement, such initiatives are clearly still needed. "Canada Road Safety Week is an effective traffic enforcement initiative, however it is only part of the solution to saving lives. It is important that everyone take responsibility to ensure safety on our roads. Make a commitment to obey speed limits, wear your seatbelt and never drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs, or while distracted," said OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique. Solicitor General Sylvia Jones reminds drivers to have respect while on the road. "Driving is a privilege that requires your full attention when behind the wheel. It takes a conscious effort from all drivers to limit distractions to avoid potential injuries. Violating the 'rules of the road' is a major cause of collisions so we all need to respect the law to ensure road safety. Make driving safely your number 1 priority."

Obviously we're (Storm) in this business to make a profit, but we also want to give back to the community." Street said Storm took on the pilot project because there isn't interest from Bell or Rogers. "The return on investment just isn't worth it," he stated. Between Mississippi Mills, Lanark Highlands, Beckwith, Tay Valley, Drummond/North Elmsley and Montague, there are 20,179 private dwellings.

"There's lots of methods we can use for internet (in the county), which would be a mix of wireless and fibre," he explained. "We want to try to get Lanark County up and running in three to five years, not seven or 10 or 13." Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) applauded Storm's efforts. "We're lucky to have them in Lanark County and I certainly wish them all the best," he said. "It's a service Bell is not going to provide ..." Coun. Barrie Crampton (Tay Valley Deputy Reeve) wanted to see a business model before the county made any decisions. " ... That (plan) might be helpful in getting our support."

NEWS ANALYSIS: MUNICIPALITIES GRAPPLE WITH PROVINCIAL FUNDING CHANGES HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@ metroland.com Anyone who has been following the news lately knows that the winds of change have come to Ontario. Following the Progressive Conservative government's first official budget presentation earlier this year, a number of changes - called everything from "cuts" to "restructuring" to "efficiencies" depending on who you ask - have either already been introduced or are on the horizon, causing anxiety for many Ontarians as they contemplate the ways in which their lives will be impacted. Let's take a closer look at a few of these changes that have a direct impact on local rural municipalities, services and community members.

many of our health care workers are concerned as well." Jane Hess, director of healthy living and development for the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, also brought up these concerns with Perth council on May 7. "These days, we don't know what will happen to us after April 1, 2020," she said. "The downloading will cost municipalities," responded Mayor John Fenik. "It's very much in a state of flux."

PUBLIC HEALTH In addition to the uncertainty that accompanies reducing the number of health units from 35 to 10, public health will receive direct funding cuts to programs like Smoke Free Ontario and Healthy Smiles. These were previously funded by the province, but next year will be restructured to a 70:30 provincialmunicipal funding model. The province was originally going to apply these cuts retroactively, effective April 1, 2019, but suddenly changed their mind on May 27 in reaction to outcry from municipalities who had no opportunity to factor the extra costs into this year's budget.While public health unit costs are the responsibility of municipalities as per provincial legislation, these programs have benefited significantly from provincial funding

LIBRARIES In April, the Southern Ontario Library Service's (SOLS) budget was abruptly slashed by 50 per cent, causing SOLS to permanently cut its interlibrary loan system. It's hard to deny that the impact will be felt most by patrons of small town and rural li-

braries, which have much smaller collections on site compared to larger urban centres. "It's a big hit for us," Karen Schecter, CEO of the Smiths Falls Public Library, told the Smiths Falls Record News in April. Schecter said she expects the demise of SOLS will end up costing the library money, as they may now have to pay Canada Post for deliveries of these materials. "I think this hits smaller libraries harder," she said. "I sometimes feel that decisions are made by people who don't understand the system." Many people across the province are fighting this decision, including the group Friends of the Perth and District Union Public Library, who found support in their formerly PC See MPP, page 12

MPP SAYS CUTS NECESSARY TO CLEAN UP 'FISCAL MESS' Continued from page 10

MPP Randy Hillier when they presented him with a 300-plus signature petition on May 10 to restore the interlibrary loan system. "Finding efficiencies is one thing," the newly untethered Hillier told The Perth Courier, but outright cuts is something else. "It's our job now to be strong advocates."

PARAMEDICS The announcement that Ontario's 52 ambulance services will be restructured into 10 within the next two years also came as a surprise, particularly in Renfrew County, where council recently took the plunge into buying five new $250,000 ambulances and planning a new paramedic headquarters in Pembroke despite the uncertainty. Renfrew County health committee chair Michael Donohue called the provincial ambulance changes "short sighted" noting that they seemed to be "an afterthought in the budget." The province, he said, is showing "incredible disregard

for its municipal funding partners."

GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE Unsurprisingly, local PC MPPs are defending the changes. Renfrew-NippissingPembroke MPP John Yakabuski said the ambulance changes are "all part and parcel" of a "modernization" of the health care system aimed at ensuring services are focused where they are needed, reducing wait times and ending hallway health care. For his part, Steve Clark, MPP for LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes and Minister of of Municipal Affairs, said that the changes are necessary to "clean up the fiscal mess" in Ontario. The province, Clark says, was left with "a $15billion deficit and interest payments on our debt that cost the province $36 million every day. This was unsustainable and put core public services that my constituents rely on, like health care and education, in jeopardy." Clark went on to say

that he recognizes the benefit the interlibrary loan system provided to users in his riding. "I was disappointed SOLS opted to cut this service, rather than working with our government to explore alternative methods of delivering it," Clark said.

FULL EFFECTS STILL TO BE FELT Regardless of whether or not you agree with Clark and Yakabuski, or Hillier and the local municipal representatives, it is hard to deny that many residents will feel the impact of recent cuts, and that municipalities will be forced to make difficult choices in regard to their own budgets. As Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon recently expressed, at first glance the province "seems to want to reduce rural and small town governance of essential health services while maintaining the expectations of (municipalities) funding those services." As we await final decisions on the fate of ambulance services and health care programs, the full impact of these restructuring initiatives remains to be seen. – with files from Evelyn Harford, Desmond Devoy and John Carter.

OPINION

EVERY SPRING WOULD BRING NEW LIFE TO MOTHER LONG, DREARY WINTERS WERE ALWAYS DIFFICULT DURING 1930S, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

The ditches had dried up. The fields were ready to plant. Each day I could feel the warmth of spring all around us. With the coming of the longer, sunny days, Mother became a different person. All winter, it was like someone had pulled a windowblind over her face, only occasionally letting in a bit of light. For the most part when the days and nights were

dark and dreary, it was like Mother was waiting for something good to happen. And then the winter was over, and spring was here at last. Audrey and I were sitting alone on the swing in the grape arbour. Buds were just starting to come out, and soon there would be enough leaf-cover to make a haven for us outside where we could eat a meal and get away from the hot sun, or the steaming kitchen. I could hear Mother, through the opened window, singing a wordless tune, and the sounds of pots scraping on the Findlay Oval, and dishes against dishes. A feeling of complete contentment settled over me, but I wondered about Mother's change at the end of winter and the coming of spring. I asked Audrey if she, so much older and so much wiser than I, noticed it too, or

was it just my imagination. My sister paused for a few minutes, as she gathered her thoughts. "It's in the wintertime she misses New York the most," she said. Much of her answer escaped me ... much beyond the reasoning of a five or sixyear-old. But I listened anyway. "She feels shut out from the rest of the world out here in Northcote, because the car is in the drive shed up on blocks, it's a long, cold trip into Renfrew in the cutter, so she only goes in on Saturdays to deliver her eggs." She paused again, and I thought that was the end of it. But she went on. "Did you ever notice how she reads and rereads that Philadelphia Inquirer paper that comes in the mail? Well, that connects her with everything going on in the place she left to come to live here in

Northcote. She gets lonesome for her friend Rosie, and I think she feels trapped in the winter ... looking out at so much snow, and she worries about fire burning the house down, and her relatives in Ottawa who can't come out to visit. So, you see, Mary, winter isn't the best time for our Mother." I felt the utmost contentment knowing that winter was behind us, and that Mother would once again be her happy and contented self. Her seeds had come from her order to the SteeleBriggs catalogue, and were

starting to sprout in the little square boxes on a table beside the back door. The rolled-up braided rug had been removed from the parlour door where it had been since the first blasts of winter, and we could now sit on the horsehair settee and look at picture albums or read. Soon the spring housecleaning would begin ... the kitchen curtains washed and starched, and the braided rugs hung on the fence outside and beaten with the broom and rolled up for the summer. The sun had risen overhead and was beating

down through the vines of the grape arbour, and I could feel myself dozing off, leaning against my sister. And I was overcome with a feeling of joy and contentment. Mother was back ... everything was right in my world. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

WINE'D AROUND DOWNTOWN BOASTS CARIBBEAN FLAIR The wet weather in Carleton Place on May 25 did not dampen the "spirits" of Wine'd Around Downtown participants. Now in its twelfth year, Wine'd Around Downtown is a wine and food tasting fundraiser hosted by the local sister city committee. Event proceeds help with costs associated with a number of annual activities involving the town's two sister communities. Carleton Place twinned with Comrie, Scotland in August 1992 and Franklin, Tennessee in January 2005. Once again, Saturday's extravaganza saw a sellout crowd of 300 participate. As chair of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, Jeff Maguire noted: "That makes me very happy."

A blue T-shirt served as the event's ticket this year. Nine restaurants, pubs and caterers participated in Wine'd Around Downtown, including Stalwart Brewing, Boulton House, Black Tartan Kitchen, Sagar Indian Cuisine, The Grand Hotel and Braumeister Brewing Co. There was a Dominican Republic connection to this year's Wine'd Around Downtown, with representatives from the Caribbean nation's embassy hosting a gathering in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium between 1 and 5 p.m. Event participants were invited to sample some the country's rum and cuisine, as well as learn a little about its culture. According to Maguire, the sister city committee has recently established a relationship with the Dominican Republic embas-

I had the good fortune to find Barbara after my property was on the market for 6 months. She followed through with her promises, she was an excellent communicator and even though I wasn’t familiar with what Staging meant, I found out when Barbara took over! I watched as my house was transformed!!! I thought it was fine before but Barbara took it to another notch… so don’t be shy, Stage!! Barbara and her team were very efficient and they held my hand during the complete process and we even had a little time for laughter. So if you want results quickly, I recommend Barbara. — Jean, Perth, Ontario

THERAPY AND WELLNESS CENTRE OPENS IN CARLETON PLACE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com WatersEdge Massage Therapy & Wellness in Carleton Place celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 9. Local politicians and business and community leaders attended the festivities, congratulating owner and registered massage therapist (RMT) Michele Eno as well as RMT Dawson Webb. WatersEdge Massage Therapy & Wellness is located at 355 Franktown Road.

"We are very excited to be up and running," Eno told the Canadian Gazette. WatersEdge Massage Therapy & Wellness officially opened on March 1; however, Eno has been at the location for the previous two years, working with Jenine McCann, when it was Abundance Chirorpactic & Wellness Centre. "Dawson joined me March 1," Eno noted. "For now, it is just the two of us offering massage therapy." Eno and Webb, both residents of Carleton Place, have 30 years' experience between them. "Dawson grew up here in

town," Eno said, and "I am a transplant from Nova Scotia, living here for the last 16 years." "The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce is excited to see WatersEdge Massage Therapy & Wellness open its doors," general manager Jackie Kavanagh stated. "We wish Michele and Dawson the best of luck at their new location." Carleton Place Coun. Linda Seccaspina attended the grand opening of WatersEdge Massage Therapy & Wellness. Relax. Renew. Revive. These three words "sum up their business,"

she told this newspaper. "They say the most productive thing you can do is relax, which is not easy these days," Seccaspina continued. "If you need to ask yourself when was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing, maybe you need to visit their business." WatersEdge Massage Therapy & Wellness has been busy since opening its doors. The hours of operation: Monday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Thursday from 12 to 6:30 p.m., Friday from 8:30 a.m.

Healey, Marina C.

Marina passed away peacefully in hospital, Smiths Falls, on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at the age of 83. Beloved wife of the late Harold E. Healey, much loved mother of Larry Healey (Michele Despreaux) and LeeAnne Scott (Jeremy). Sadly missed by grandchildren Benjamin and Nicholas Healey and her best friend, Doodle. Predeceased by her parents, Robert and Margaret Atchison, and her brother Gordon Atchison. Fondly remembered by her extended family and many friends. Mrs. Healey to some, Marina to many and Minnie to most, Mom left behind a laugh and a smile wherever she went. She would talk to anyone about anything and had a joke or story for all who would listen. In the driver’s seat with her nose to the windshield, she happily toured her regular route: Ottawa for ham, Manotick for tomatoes, Merrickville for treasures, Balderson for curd, Almonte for toys, Pakenham for bread, Brockville for buttercream, Westport for pajamas and Smiths Falls for Dairy Queen. Her Christmas came in June when strawberries were ripe. A VIP at Tincap, she never missed a season and never lost a berry off the basket on the car ride home. Jam and jelly; cakes, cookies and pie were her specialty and to her it all tasted better when she had a friend to feed. When she wasn’t looking for her keys, bank card, purse or glasses she was merrily tending to her yard. She made it into a wonderland of plants and flowers, toys in trees and solar lights on every surface. If it sang, danced or lit up she bought it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Above all else she loved her family, her friends and at the top of her list sat her constant companion and confidant, Doodle. With sincere appreciation and admiration, we thank the staff and residents of Van Horne Manor for their care and friendship. To the nurses, doctors and support staff at the Smiths Falls Hospital - the loving care you provided Mom in her final days was second to none and will never be forgotten. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls, Thursday, May 30, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Francis de Sales Church, Smiths Falls, Friday, May 31, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Interment, St. Francis de Sales Cemetery. In lieu of flowers and donations, please take a friend to Dairy Queen, buy them an ice cream cone and tell them a joke.

David passed away on 12 June 2018 at The Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus, due to complications stemming from a major stroke in December 2015, that left him partially paralyzed. He is predeceased by his parents F/L W. Paul Lawrence (RCAF retired) and Jeanne Lawrence (nee Dagenais). Survived by his son Troy of Toronto; and his siblings Christina, Richard, Stephen (Francis); and his nieces and nephews. David had a very adventurous life living in the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory for over 25 years. He made friends everywhere he went, and had amazing adventures that movies could be made of. He could build anything from wood, and his toy line lives on in his nephews’ homes, to be passed onto their children. After his stroke, sadly that limited his mobility, David resided at Hope Living (Shepherds of Good Hope) on Castlefrank Road in Kanata for the last two years of his life. We would like to thank the staff for the outstanding job they did looking after David. Particularly we would like to show great appreciation to Stephen Szawlowski for working tirelessly to provide a motorized wheelchair for David. Our brother made many friends among the excellent staff, caring volunteers, and wonderful residents. He will be dearly missed. We would also like to thank First Memorial Funeral Services of Ottawa for all their assistance during this trying time. Donations can be made in David’s honour to Hope Living - Shepherds of Good Hope.

IN MEMORIAM

January 11, 1935 May 22, 2019 Quietly at home with her husband and family at her side. A devoted wife and mother, she leaves behind her husband Douglas, daughters Dorothy (Dori), Diane, her son Donald and eight grandchildren. All of us forever grateful for her wisdom and selfless care. She is also survived by her very dear sister, Betty. Dorothy was born and grew up on a farm near Arran Sask. She attended the University of B.C. where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree and where she met her husband. They then lived in many parts of the country including Northern B.C., Newfoundland, Southern Ontario, Northern Ontario, then finally Eastern Ontario where they made their retirement home. Dorothy and Doug were united in marriage for over 60 years. Dorothy was a self taught, but very accomplished artist, and she leaves a treasured legacy of art. Her own home and those of her children are brightened with watercolour flower studies, oils of Newfoundland scenes, still lifes and several experimental techniques. Among her works was a collection of botanical studies of the wild flowers or Newfoundland. These have been published in the book, “Wildflowers of Newfoundland and Labrador”. Family and friends will join in a service to remember Dorothy’s life at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St. West, Perth on Thursday June 6th, 2019 at 2:00 P.M. followed by a reception in the church hall.

COMPLAINT THREATENS IMAGE OF SINGER KATE SMITH RACIST BRANDING A RUSH TO JUDGMENT, WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE JEFF MAGUIRE Column

In a small cemetery on the edge of Lake Placid, New York is the grave of Kathryn Elizabeth Smith. Better known by her professional name, Kate Smith, she was a singer whose voice remains familiar to untold millions today despite the fact her career reached its pinnacle during the Second World War. Kate Smith loved Lake Placid. She owned a summer home there. Smith was a native of Virginia but when she died in 1986

at age 79 her final wish was to be interred in the Adirondack village. Smith is best known for her 1939 recording of composer and lyricist Irving Berlin's patriotic anthem God Bless America. Thirty years after recording her stirring version of the song an executive with the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League ordered that Smith's recording be played before Flyers' games instead of the Star Spangled Banner. That continued through to this year. A statue of the late songstress was erected in front of the team's arena in 1987. Beginning in 2009

That's Why Darkies Were Born and Pickaninny Heaven, contains lyrics that fair thinking people today would immediately brand as "racist." On listening to the songs or reading the lyrics it seems impossible to argue the fact. Still, are the actions of the Flyers and Yankees and the condemnation of Smith levelled by some writers and commentators actually justified? Other artists recorded the same songs. It's also arguable that the world was less enlightened 88 years ago. This matter underlines why I love newspapers. There are always two sides to every story. After reading numerous newspaper stories and columns and some detailed online accounts relative

gious bigotry - they are diseases which eat away the fibres of peace." Many people have jumped to Smith's defence. Yankee fans are threatening to boycott the ball club unless her 1939 recording is reinstated at games. So, will Kate Smith go down in history as an icon or a pariah? Time will tell. But in an imperfect world full of imperfect people I find it hard to imagine that the previously unblemished image of such a distinguished performer should be ruined because of an issue that clearly has two sides.

HOROSCOPES

sudoku

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

to this matter I'm concerned there has been a rush to judgment in this case. There has been a considerable amount of push back and on closer examination there is a lot of evidence available which tends to defuse the complaint alleging Smith was a racist. Understandably surviving family members say they are "heartbroken" to see her name sullied and they totally refute the claim of racism. So too does Smith's biographer. He says that that in the 1940s Smith featured black musicians and singers on her popular radio show more than 40 times. In 1945, in an address on CBS Radio, Smith herself said, "Race hatreds, social prejudices, reli-

CROSSWORD

s r e s Tea

Smith's powerful voice became familiar to current New York Yankees' fans. Her recording of God Bless America has been a standard during the seventh inning stretch at Yankee Stadium. So, fitting tributes to an artist whose radio, television and recording career spanned five decades! In mid-April however an anonymous tipster complained about racist lyrics in some of Smith's early recordings. The Flyers and Yankees quickly announced they were suspending use of Smith's version of God Bless America at their games. Her statue was hastily removed from in front of the Flyers' current home, Wells Fargo Center in downtown Philadelphia. It's true that two songs she recorded in 1931,
