ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com A community and its school came together in a tremendous way May 30, at Almonte District High School's resurrected Relay for Life fundraiser. More than $26,000 was raised during the event, which saw 260 students take laps around the track next to the school, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Supported by the ADHS Athletic Council and staff, organizing committee member Abby Killeen noted students have been working on the initiative for the past two-and-a-half months after the concept was raised last November. They initially decided on a goal of $8,000, but quickly surpassed that during the day. "We've put a ton of work into it and we're super, super proud of See ORIGINAL, page 2

the outcome," she remarked. "We tripled our original goal!" "For a small school, a small town, it's so incredible ... it shows how much people come together in Almonte," added organizing committee member Jacqueline Marquis. Relay for Life is one of the Canadian Cancer Society's signature fundraising events, which helps fund cancer research and support those affected by the disease. To spur on students toward reaching their goal, ADHS vice-principal Brian Reid agreed to let students dye his hair Thunderbolt orange if they reached $15,000. Midday, when they surpassed that figure, he made good on his promise. For ADHS principal Nancy Holman, there was a
feeling of immense pride in her students. She was impressed that a school with a population of just over 500 students could make this large of an impact. "We've all been touched by cancer in some way and this is all about the students. This has shown them they can make a difference," she remarked. "These are the people who are our future. When you give back to your community it shows resiliency." Later in the day, staff, students and supporters were moved by the personal account of Carolyn Della Foresta's cancer journey. A graduate of ADHS in 1993 and mother to three current students - Micah, Gabriel and Jeremiah - Della Foresta received news back in January she had a large tumour on her brain. She spoke about how her family had been "unscathed" by

Then came her battle. "It (tumour) started in my cheek sinuses, went all the way up behind my eyes and landed on my brain.
Life changes very quickly when you receive news like this," she said, her voice wavering. Within a month, she had life-saving surgery including endoscopic removal of the tumour through her nose and a craniotomy. She backed that up with 30 rounds of radiation at the Ottawa General Hospital, which she just completed. She stressed the need for people to pay attention to their bodies, as Della Foresta had suffered from sinus infections and headaches for a year, which kept returning. "I'm a firm believer that a vital component of health and healing is a positive outlook and I chose to have that from day one," she said. " ... While in the hospital I saw a sign that said one in two in this life will have cancer. Not one in two will be affected by cancer, but one in two will have cancer. I urge you now as young people to manage your health and be proactive. Eat healthy, stay active,

"If one person's affected by cancer, we all are," Marquis noted.

frastructure Fund to be announced in the very near future. "We need to be prepared to apply for this grant when it becomes available," Henderson said. Atkinson noted: "This is a $2.5 million project, and I think we can afford to spend two per cent of the budget to have some proper plans done up, to get some quotes." Jason Clarke is the owner and head coach of the Carleton Place JR A Canadians. He was in attendance last Tuesday night. "I think it is a great idea that council is going to go through with this," Clarke said, and "I think there is a larger economic impact with these dressing rooms." There is a lot of growth in the Canadians organization, and it recently announced a new partnership with the Carleton Place Girls Hockey Association - Carleton Place Cy-
clones (A and AA level teams). "Having those new dressing rooms will allow us, as a community, to host championships at all levels for boys and girls," Clarke stressed. "With a new hotel coming in, I think it is something very positive for our community ... a massive economic development opportunity." Having been in a lot of arena lobbies over the past 20 years, Clarke noted the one at the Carleton Place arena "is one of the largest I have seen." "I do not know if I would specifically spend money on updating a lobby," he continued. As an alternative, the hockey professional felt might be better spent on updating the upper hall. "We needed a really good discussion on this tonight," Mayor Doug Black stated. "We needed to close on this and move forward ... it has been long enough."

rooms," Henderson said. "We need them for girls playing on boys teams ... we also have female referees." In 2019, council approved an additional $1 million for the arena project, bringing the budget to $2.5 million. "We added another million because we wanted to see more than dressing rooms," Coun. Theresa Fritz said. For example: a second floor and undertaking some improvements to the lobby such as creating a larger entry vestibule, new flooring, etc. "I have always seen this as a renovation of the arena, not just an annex," Atkinson said. "When we added the extra money, the intention was to take the arena through the next 20 years of its life, supporting a population of 18-20,000." The other option available to council was to proceed with the original onestorey addition and undertake lobby improvements. In 2017, the town paid architect Larry Gaines just under $47,000 to complete the design and construction documents for the single-storey addition. According to Henderson, these documents, which include all architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical engineering designs, are tender ready. "Some minor changes would be required," she noted. "Regardless of which option we selected, it was anticipated there would be the necessary funds to complete the project," Fritz stated. Moving forward "In order for us to proceed, we are going to need to have some new drawings made," Henderson said.

INTERLIBRARY LOANS RESUME IN CARLETON PLACE THIS MONTH TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The interlibrary loan service at the Carleton Place Public Library (CPPL) will resume in June. Head librarian Meriah Caswell made the announcement during the town's committee of the whole meeting on May 28. "The board knows how important the interlibrary loan service is to our community, to our library," she stated. "It has committed to resuming interlibrary loans in 2019 and eating the cost." After the Ford government announced in April the budget of the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) was being slashed
by 50 per cent, the agency made the decision to permanently cut its interlibrary loan delivery service. "They manage the provincial interlibrary loan network, which saw 24 delivery vans make weekly deliveries across southern Ontario," Caswell said. The network, she added, also covers the online portal used by Ontario libraries to access and make requests for interlibrary loans. The interlibrary loan service allows a library patron to request a book not available in his or her branch from another library elsewhere in the province. Until recently, the book arrived at the indi-

"We service. are a small library, but we "I cannot emphasize enoughhad access to a province
worth of materials." "Now we are on our own," she added. In 2018, the CPPL brought in nearly 2,000 items for its patrons. "If we were to purchase these items, the estimated value would be about $55,600," Caswell noted. Individuals of all ages use the interlibrary loan service, and they have a variety of interests. "It is people with low vision accessing large print, Francophone people accessing a great amount of materials, parents who home school, and teens who want an issue in their favourite Mango series," Caswell said. In the first three months of 2019, the CPPL borrowed an average of 154 items per month. Sheila McCulloch manages the interlibrary loan service. On April 26, all libraries in the province were informed they could again use the interlibrary loan network's online portal beginning in June, but "we
are be responsible for covering all costs for sharing materials," Caswell said. "To continue this service through Canada Post, it will cost the library about $3,500 a year in shipping fees," she continued. "Of course, this was not budgeted." As a result, "I am here on behalf of the CPPL board to ask for two things," the head librarian added. The CPPL would like access to its library reserve funds. "As a result of interlibrary loans, any over spending in our 2019 library postage budget can be funded from the library reserve," Caswell explained. Moreover, council was asked to support the CPPL's request for the government to restore funding to the SOLS, and to urge the province to support sustainable long-term funding for Ontario public See LIBRARY, page 7

ALLEGED IMPAIRED DRIVER BACK IN COURT JUNE 17 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Connor Arsenault of Drummond/North Elmsley will be back in Perth court on June 17 at 9 a.m. Ontario Provincial Police arrested Arsenault, an alleged impaired driver, after crashing a vehicle into a home in Carleton Place on April 22 and fleeing the scene. On May 27, represented by duty counsel, the 19year-old made his first appearance in court. Justice of the peace Jacques Desjardins presided over the matter. The charges against Arsenault: dangerous operation, operation while impaired, operation over 80, obstruct police and fail to stop after an accident. None of these charges have been proven in court. Arsenault waived ar-
raignment last Monday, with his language of choice being English. According to Desjardins, the proceedings on June 17 encompass reviewing disclosure and hearing the crown's position. Paul and Christy Salvador own the home at 239 Park Ave., which is located at the corner of Nelson Street. They were in their living room when the crash happened less than two months ago. The couple's two children, Anthony and Logan, were upstairs. At the time, Paul told the Canadian Gazette, two cars were racing down Nelson Street. One vehicle, an orange Hyundai, did not make the corner, striking his house ... "it sounded like an explosion." "I was watching TV with my wife when it happened," he said. "The front door was open ... I turned to
look out when I heard the tires squealing around the corner." When the Hyundai hit the Salvador home, it destroyed a support pillar on the front porch, in addition to the porch's deck and a large flower box. This newspaper reached out to the Salvador family recently for an update. Paul was hoping to get his home, which is 100-plus years old, repaired before winter. However, he knows spring is not a great time to find an available contractor. "I have not found a contractor," he said. "I have received a lot of apologies as everyone seems to be too busy ... being booked solid." Paul added: "Not even my insurance contractor has given a quote yet," and he's unable to find a mason to help with the estimate.

Connect Hearing, in conjunction with Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph, are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. Of particular interest to the researchers is identifying how we listen. There is a current theory that divides people into two “listening groups”. People in the first group need to put more effort into their listening, while members in the second group aren’t easily distracted. It’s the people in the first group
who will look for a solution to their hearing loss sooner than the second group, even though the level of hearing loss could be very similar. The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from oneon-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization. Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help. You’ll be playing an important part in a study that will further identify the key factors impacting hearing difficulties and better understand their influence on the treatment process.

libraries. Disappointed by the Ford government's funding cuts, "this one directly downloads to us ... there is no escaping it," Coun. Andrew Tennant said. "I totally support voicing our displeasure," he added. The family of Coun. Toby Randell uses the local library regularly, including the interlibrary loan service. "I think it is a very worthwhile part of the library," he stated. There has been a groundswell of support from people who support their libraries - angry at the loss of this service. "We hear it every single day," Caswell said.
Letters have been sent to Lanark-FrontenacKingston MPP Randy Hillier as well as Tourism, Culture and Sport Minister Michael Tibollo. Residents are also encouraged to sign a petition to support Ontario's public libraries. Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Michael Mantha will present the petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, which calls for the reinstatement of funding to the SOLS. Four hundred Carleton Place residents have already signed the document. On Tuesday, council approved both CPPL requests, with the decision regarding the library's reserve being re-evaluated if Canada Post amends its

THANKS FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE Though Paramedic Services Week 2019 was observed May 29 to June 1, our Lanark County Paramedic Service should be celebrated constantly for the vital public services they provide to our citizens 24 hours a day, seven days a week. On a daily basis, we see and hear stories about the various ways our paramedics help improve the health of our overall communities, as well as save lives and risk their own in the name of keeping people safe and responding to emergency situations. Not only do paramedics provide compassionate emergent medical care for those who call 9-1-1, they work with or lead health care teams to keep people at home and out of the hospital emergency room through many innovative and dynamic community paramedic programs. They also play a key role in public education about prehospital emergency care. Operated by Almonte General Hospital, the Lanark County Paramedic Service is the only provider of emergency medical response in the county and serve a region of 3,074 square kilometres, made up of 57,000 residents. On average, they respond to more than 22,000 calls each year from its five bases - Almonte, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Lanark Village. In addition to their daily roles as paramedics, the service has taken on new programs to enhance what they offer to the community. One example is where victims of major trauma, heart attack or stroke are taken directly from home to Ottawa or Kingston hospital to receive advanced care as soon as possible. Paramedics are always updating their skills with the latest training and chief Ed McPherson said the service will continue to roll out the Advanced Care Paramedic Program in 2019, which just launched in March. After completing an additional year of intense training, advanced care paramedics are able to expand on the medical care they provide to patients and offer more medications and treatments that can be administered in home. It's McPherson's goal to have these paramedics spread out across the county. While not attending emergencies, the service focuses on its Community Paramedic Program that serves the needs of the ever-growing geriatric population, in an 'aging at home' approach. Funded in partnership with the South East Local Health Integration Network, this initiative is available to the southern region of Lanark County, where paramedics care for seniors in their homes, which cuts down on the need for hospitalized stays. It is important to raise awareness of the enormous contribution paramedic services' staff members make and to recognize the contribution these medical professionals make to maintain our safe and healthy communities.

HOMETOWN HEARTS CHARITY BARBECUE JUNE 14 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com June is PTSD Awareness Month and Hometown Hearts in Carleton Place is firing up the barbecue. Hometown Hearts and the Beckwith Butcher are co-hosting a charity barbecue on June 14, running from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The location: 1 Costello Dr., behind Shoppers Drug Mart. In a letter to the community about the third annual barbecue, Rob Carpenter, Hometown Hearts member and owner of the Beckwith
Butcher, noted, "We would be more than happy to serve you lunch, supper or an afternoon snack." For $5, get a drink and one of the following: burger, sausage, jumbo hotdog and pulled pork. The barbecue, typically attended by a thousandplus people, raises funds for and awareness of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental illness, characteristically triggered by a shocking, frightening or dangerous event either by experiencing it or witnessing it. Because of
the duties associated with their job, PTSD is mostly suffered by firefighters, police officers, paramedics, correctional workers, nurses, emergency dispatchers, enlisted people and veterans, just to name a few. "Stop by and have a meal, learn a bit about this horrible and debilitating illness, and help our firefighters, police officers, paramedics and military," Carpenter stated. "These heroes are there for us in our greatest time of need ... now it is our turn to be
there for them." Hometown Hearts aims to send as many people as it can to Project Trauma Support, a program addressing PTSD and operational stress injury. Project Trauma Support is a retreat and healing place for those in need. It is located just outside Perth. "As a group, to date, we have been able to help two people, and we are in the process of helping a third go through the program ... they need to get their lives back," Carpenter noted.

LAND FORMERLY EARMARKED FOR NEW HOSPITAL SOLD Diane Smithson, the former Health Campus land is approximately 10 acres, with five acres sold to Revera Inc. The sale price: $700,000 plus HST.

The land at one time was being held for a new Carleton Place hospital.
"This is land we were going to use for the hospital ... we are not having a new hospital right now," Fritz said. However, "we are using it in a health-related fashion," she added, and "I think this is going to be very good for our community." Mayor Doug Black stressed: "I think it is very important for everyone to understand this was in our Health Campus designation on Hooper Street, and it is now being sold and will not utilized for a new hospital."
The existing Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital, located at 211 Lake Ave. E., is, however, expanding its emergency department with a 9,000 square foot addition. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care gave the green light in October 2016. Dr. Eric Hoskins, the minister at the time, was in town to make the announcement, which he said would improve access to emergency care services, help reduce wait times for residents of Carleton Place and surrounding communities, as well as accommodate higher-level diagnostic and therapeutic needs.

MPP SAYS MORE CUTS COMING LOCALLY ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Municipalities should be prepared, because the provincial cuts are going to keep coming, says Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier. Hillier has been making the rounds to Lanark County municipalities updating them on his efforts since being permanently expelled from the PC caucus on March 15 which ranges from Lyme disease to cuts to women's shelters. Recently, he spoke to Mississippi Mills and Lanark Highlands councils on May 21. In Mississippi Mills, discussions surrounded the widespread
provincial cuts municipal government, public health units and paramedic services are experiencing. "There are a lot of changes underway at Queen's Park, a number that we know about but more that will be announced in the coming months," Hillier confirmed. "Change is happening. It's important for all councils to keep that in mind as you make decisions." When prompted by Coun. Bev Holmes on red tape slowing down economic development, Hillier responded, "red tape is my specialty." He said there's bound to be some with any administration, but government needs to craft legislation on how it

province's suggestion. Recently however, the cities of Kitchener and Waterloo are being pressured to become a single tier municipality and the City of Brockville is looking to reduce its number of councillors. " ... The message at the time was that these small rural municipalities would not be able to survive under the new provincial legislative framework," he said. " ... Of course in hindsight, Beckwith and Montague are still here and doing quite well and surviving." "Not everything that the provincial government says happens to come true or be factual, in my opinion," Hillier added. Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille indicated the cuts to ambulance, social and police services in the middle of the fiscal year makes it hard for municipal governments to operate. "At the best of times, it's not easy to get the details on what the government does," Hillier admitted. "We can't quantify those impacts, we can only guesstimate. Paramedics, public health and daycare, I don't have the dates or know what the end product is going to look like at this time." Hillier said he's in favour of consolidation, but "good administration should be dispersed as widely as practical and not concentrated." Back in February, Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, announced changes to the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement are forthcoming. With Mississippi Mills' Official Plan review before Lanark County for approval, Coun. Cynthia Guerard wondered "is it a good thing for us or should we be waiting?" While the requirements for municipal Official Plans could be very different in the coming months, Hillier said no timeline has been set. "I don't have a crystal ball and neither does anyone here, but you may have undertaken things that are no longer required but may still want to have or there may be requirements in there that are no longer enforceable ..." Other changes are on the way for the conservation authorities through modernizing operations in the Conservation Authorities Act, which governs the local Mississippi Valley and Rideau Valley conservation authorities. Hillier has publicly pushed for changes and underlined the importance with the recent spring flooding. "...We're never going to prevent all flooding, but we should constantly be thinking if there's things we're doing or not doing with our infrastructure that amplifies flooding."

D-DAY INVASION WAS PIVOTAL EVENT IN SECOND WORLD WAR JEFF MAGUIRE LOOKS BACK ON THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MILITARY OPERATION JEFF MAGUIRE Column
version of my column this week there are more details. By nightfall on D-Day 130,000 Allied troops were ashore including 14,000 Canadians. There were 1,074 Canadian casualties on DDay including 359 killed. Officially the Normandy Campaign lasted from June 6-Aug. 21, 1944. Casualties on both sides were massive. Allied losses (killed, wounded and missing) totalled 210,000. The Germans sustained 450,000 casualties. Canadian losses in the two-plus months of Normandy fighting totalled over 18,000 including more than 5,000 killed. Today I want to pay tribute to all Canadian veterans but with particular emphasis on those who fought their way ashore in northern France 75 years ago today. Their efforts and their sacrifices helped bring a swift end to Hitler's "Thousand Year Reich." As their numbers rapidly decline we should honour our veterans by upgrading a system of education which, judging by the alarming number of Canadians who are totally uneducated about this important chapter in our history is clearly in need of major improvements!

On a cool, spring morning 24 years ago this month I walked along a strip of beach in Normandy, France trying to imagine what thousands of my fellow countrymen were thinking as they waded ashore under intense enemy fire at that exact spot, nearly 51 years earlier. During the Second World War the section of beach in northwestern France was code named "Juno." It was one of five invasion beaches in Normandy carefully selected by Allied planners for the greatest amphibious assault in military history. Today, June 6, marks the 75th anniversary of what is one of the most recognized military operations in history - D-Day. The seaborne assault launched "Operation Overlord," the much anticipated Allied invasion of German-occupied Western Europe. Juno Beach, which Kathleen and I and our fellow travellers visited in May 1995, was the Canadian invasion beach. The fact thousands of Canadians were involved in the fighting on June 6, 1944 underlines the large role our country played in the war in Europe. Sadly, 75 years after DDay, polls show that Canadians in general are largely unfamiliar with this very dramatic day in our country's military history.
Soon after they attacked and occupied most of northern and western Europe in 1940 the Germans began building defences along the Atlantic and North Sea coasts. By the spring of 1944 Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's much vaunted "Atlantic Wall" was not complete. But it was still a formidable obstacle for attacking forces! Canadian troops at Juno were up against well entrenched German defenders. The first wave of seaborne troops in particular suffered heavy losses. To emphasize just how savage the fighting was consider this - from D-Day until DPlus 5 (the first five days of the invasion) 905 Canadians were killed in action. When we visited Juno Beach in 1995 we were accompanying a group of 20 veterans and their wives from Carleton Place and Lanark County. We were participating in ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland, in which Canadian forces played a pivotal role and the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. As a writer and photographer I was there to record those events for my newspaper. Sadly all but one of the local and area veterans we travelled with in 1995 are now gone. As of this March just 48,000 Canadian veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War (combined) were still alive according to Statistics Canada. Several of our 1995 trip companions were D-Day veterans and all had incredible stories to tell. Because of limited space in the newspaper proper I can't outline those stories here.

TRUCK PAINTING HELPS BUILD SPLASH PAD DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com
If you spot a perfectly good pick-up truck driving around Carleton Place in a mishmash of colours, like a madly-in-love rainbow is hugging it, fear not. "That's my truck," said Childcare Services director Tracey Freill during this year's Mighty Machines Day. She watches with a big smile as kids paint every square inch of her vehicle in any colour of their choosing. It turned out as bad as you would expect. "We do it every year. Sometimes I'll drive around town for a while before washing it off."
"We've given out 1,080 hotdogs and had to go back for more."
- Tracey Freill
Mighty Machines Day is an annual fundraiser focused on a project for kids. The social services organization usually raises between $4,000 and $6,000. This time around the money will help build a splash pad and play yards at Carambeck Community Centre. "We'll raise at least that much this year," Freill said.
"This is the largest (turnout) by far. We've given out 1,080 hotdogs and had to go back for more." Even near the end of the fourth annual event the 3 Francis St. parking lot was packed with adults pushing strollers and kids darting about to check out the various emergency services vehicles, an excavator, sports car, and more. Little Easton Webb was an artist truly inspired by the truck canvass. With each brush stroke he would stand back, look to dad Curtis, and throw his arms out as if to declare the masterpiece complete. Dad proudly videoed genius at work, unaware whether his vehicle will become the next canvass.
Derek Dunn/Torstar With each brush stroke Easton Webb would turn to his parents Curtis and Charly to declare his painting a masterpiece. All behold the Sistine Chapel of half ton trucks at the Mighty Machines Day fundraiser for Carleton Place Childcare Services June 1.

"So far we are happy with it. It's all about giving to the community, not proselytizing."

DANDELIONS BROUGHT A SMILE TO FATHER'S FACE
BUMPER CROP MEANT PLENTY OF HOMEMADE WINE, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
Father was in his glory: the dandelions were in full bloom, and as thick as thieves. They were even covering the west hill, which Father said never happened! That meant there would be a good batch for his dandelion wine, and not a day too soon. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alec had been over for a game of euchre in the past week, and the dregs of the
last bottle brought up from the cellar had been polished off over the evening. All the tubing, pails and pans had been scoured, and the bottles saved as each bottle was drained over the past year and had been boiled on the back of the Findlay Oval. Everything was ready except of course, for picking the dandelions. It was a job that we five children were facing, and not one of us relished it one bit! Each plant had to be stripped of its leaves and put in a special basket, and the bright blossoms in another; Father was only interested in the blossoms. Mother would boil the leaves, toss them with butter and salt and pepper, and they would appear on our supper table in due course. The remaining stocks were left
to die. It didn't matter how many dandelions we picked, there always seemed to be another batch appearing in a few days! Since it was still crop planting time, and getting the fields into shape, Father of course could only work on his winemaking at night, and that was after the chores were done. It always amazed me how, at any other time, he would collapse in a chair after supper with his feet on the oven door and the Ottawa Farm Journal in his lap, and fall asleep almost as soon as he sat down. Making his dandelion wine seemed to give him energy. I had no idea how the process went. I knew that the blossoms were boiled, strained, tubed and the juice bottled eventually, but the less I knew about
the procedure, the better I liked it. And it had to do with bad Marguerite, the bane of my life at the Northcote School! Her parents, she told me time and again, never had anything even remotely like wine or beer pass their lips. Her mother went into Renfrew regularly to go to the Women's Temperance Union. I wasn't at all interested in what her mother did. What I was interested in, and in fact what kept me awake at night, was what Marguerite told me could happen to my father if he was ever caught making dandelion wine - he'd go straight to jail! She rhymed off the names of several people I had never heard of, who were at that very moment locked up in Renfrew, serving a good long sentence for making their
own wine and beer. She said she knew for a fact that very likely they would rot in jail and never again see the light of day, all because they made their own homebrew! I could picture my poor father. Probably, they wouldn't even let him change out of his work overalls and into a decent pair of pants before hauling him off. Who would do the chores and plant the crops and get enough wood cut to keep us warm over the winter? I knew I had to go to my sister Audrey and tell her about my anguish over what could happen to our dear father. Audrey said that I wasn't to believe a word of what bad Marguerite said. And when I asked her how she could be so sure, she said because the last time Marguerite's father had been
at our house to talk to Father about running in the last election and was looking for Father's vote, he sat at the very kitchen table we were sitting at; he had a cigar in one hand, and a full glass of dandelion wine in the other! I gave Audrey a big hug, and when Father sent us back out to gather more dandelions, the job didn't seem to be so bad after all. If the wine gave my father a bit of pleasure, that was fine with me ... and a pox on bad Marguerite! Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

SITUATION TABLE SECURES THREE-YEAR FUNDING DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com The Lanark County Situation Table appears set to secure $45,000 in provincial funding, just as its initial funding was set to expire. "We've received good news from the province," said the Situation Table's chairperson, Stephanie Gray, during a presentation to the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, May 28. "It allows us a bit of stability and planning ... I'm relieved." Deputy Mayor Ed McPherson, who sits on the Situation Table as the head of the Lanark County Paramedic Service, called it "invaluable," in reducing crime and helping people in need. "I'm so pleased that it has been funded," agreed Coun. David Bird, who has also worked with the Situation Table in his capacity as an OPP officer. In a report to council written by chief administrative officer Ron Ladd, he wrote that the Situation Table "receives funding for $60,000 on an annual basis."
Desmond Devoy/Torstar Stephanie Gray, chair of the Lanark County Situation Table, addresses Perth town council on Tuesday, May 28. He noted that "this program is being replaced with the new program of $45,000 for three years," via the Ministry of the Solicitor General's Community Safety and Policing Grant. The $45,000 the Situation Table will likely receive comes from the "Local Priorities Funding Stream," though Ladd noted that this amount is a reduction from the annual $60,000 given in previous years. "Although eligible PSBs (police services boards) must apply to ensure their projects meet the criteria, it is not a competitive process," wrote Ladd. "This is
the program where the Situation Table/ (and Community Safety Plan) ... fits." Further to this, "Perth is also eligible to apply for a 'Provincial Priorities Funding Stream,' which focuses on sexual assault/ harassment and human trafficking. It is a competitive process for a $3.9 million pot of money for the province." The Perth PSB recommended that the town council apply for this three-year grant. Applications are due in Toronto by Thursday, June 6, and town council approved the motion to apply for the money.

DOMINICAN FILM SCREENING IN CARLETON PLACE JUNE 14 As part of its growing relationship with the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in Ottawa, the Carleton Place Sister City Committee is sponsoring a Dominican film night at the Carleton Place Public Library on Friday, June 14. The event will begin with a social time at 7 p.m. followed by the featurelength movie starting at 7:30 p.m. The film, produced in the Caribbean island nation, is in Spanish (the national language of the Dominican Republic) but with English subtitles. There is no charge for this cultural event. The dramatic film, entitled Tomorrow Don't You Forget (or Mañana No Te Olvides in Spanish), is about a family whose patriarch suffers from Alzheimer's disease and how the family copes with the
man's illness. Directed by José Enrique Pintor, the feature film is 108 minutes in length. Staff from the Dominican Embassy in Ottawa will be on hand to meet movie goers, discuss the film and answer questions about their country. Refreshments will be served to those in attendance, courtesy of the host sister city committee. The film follows a family who are suddenly faced with two major challenges. After Roberto's wife dies, someone must take care of him because he is suffering from the effects of Alzheimer's disease - his daughter Ruth decides to bring her father to live in her family's home. The decision is taken despite the fact Ruth's husband Alfredo is concerned they won't be able to cope, because
they already have a son with a major challenge: Jan, their 22-year-old son, has Down syndrome. However, following the arrival of Roberto in the home, his relationship with his grandson grows stronger. The two discover that they have many things in common. As the film's storyline unfolds, Roberto and Jan find that they have many dreams to fulfil, goals that they will accomplish together. Carleton Place Sister City Committee chair Jeff Maguire says that the purpose of the June 14 venture is twofold. He points to the theme of the film as being an opportunity for people to learn; Alzheimer's, a chronic neurodegenerative disease, is the cause of 60-70 per cent of dementia cases. "As populations age,
cases of Alzheimer's disease continue to grow," Maguire observed. "The film is a fictional portrayal of how the ailment has impacted one Dominican family. But obviously the effects of Alzheimer's are all too real in society today. "Alzheimer's is a disease, which is affecting growing numbers of people in countries around the world," Maguire outlined. He says that there is another important reason for the upcoming public event. "We are working to further our new-found relationship with the Dominican Republic, and we hope Carleton Place residents will come out, meet embassy staff and learn things about the island they may not be aware of," he explained. Maguire adds that the committee, with the sup-
port of town council, is discussing details of a plan which could see Carleton Place twin with a community in the Dominican Republic in the near future. "The embassy staff approached us and we are very excited about the possibilities this relationship presents," Maguire stated. On May 6, Pedro Vergés Ciman, the Dominican Republic's ambassador to Canada, toured Sam Bat, the baseball bat manufacturing company in Carleton Place. Baseball is the national sport of the Dominican Republic. In addition, embassy staff took part in the sister city committee's 12th annual Wine'd Around Downtown fundraiser on May 25. They served Dominican food and rum samples to event participants in the town hall auditorium as

part of the annual wine, beer and food tasting extravaganza. Carleton Place already has two long-standing sister city relationships. In August 1992, the town was formally linked with the village of Comrie, a community in the Scottish Highlands. Many of the first settlers of Carleton Place and Beckwith Township immigrated to Canada from Perthshire, Scotland the region that includes Comrie. In 2005 Carleton Place signed a sister city agreement with the city of Franklin, Tennessee, near Nashville. The "Hands Across the Border" relationship marked its 14th anniversary in January.

HAPPY 88th BIRTHDAY June 3, 2019 Phyllis Barrie WithLove and Best Wishes For Good Health and Happiness
(October 11, 1941-May 16, 2019) Survived by his beloved wife Vivienne (Kwissa), his brothers-in-law Donald Bedford (Christine) and Richard Kwissa (Joan); his nieces Tracy and Tobi Kwissa and their children Emily, Fletcher and Megan, Sophie and Alexander. Predeceased by his parents John and Bertha (Messenger) and his brother Raymond. Howard emigrated from England to Ottawa in September, 1967, just in time to celebrate his 26th birthday in October and enjoy Expo 67 in Montreal. His first year was lived apartment sharing with a friend who was spending Howard’s contributions to their living expenses behind his back and disappeared back to England when found out. As co-signer, Howard had to take on a large debt for which he wasn’t responsible. Luckily for me, he moved in with my family as a boarder “until he could get things sorted out” and we married two and a half years later in 1971. Our first year of married life was spent traveling to British Columbia and back to Ontario while Howard audited the General Tire stores in the western provinces. The New Westminster stay was particularly nice, lasting close to five months. We stayed at a hotel bachelor apartment directly across the street from the store. It was like having our first home and I could look from the 4th floor balcony to see Howard crossing the road. We traded in our first “baby”, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird that had barely got us through the Rocky Mountains from Edmonton, for a 1970 Pontiac GTO muscle car. I think that was always our favourite set of wheels and earned me my only speeding ticket! We bought our first house in the countryside in 1979 and Howard put his enjoyment of reading DIY books to good use in building decks, raised gardens, and creating lovely flower beds. His interests moved more to the indoors when home and work computers evolved. He had a natural skill working on the computer and helping others with work and home projects. Howard and I had always shared a mutual love of music and a large accomplishment on his part was to create the first extensive website on jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. He spent hours and months inputting information as a tribute to the great musician and received much recognition and appreciation for his efforts. It surprised me that eventually he couldn’t go on with the project. I thought it was because other sites on Monk were appearing on the Internet but now I think it was because he was slowly becoming ill. Howard retired from his work with the City of Ottawa, Social Services, in 2007. He described it as being his “last job and his best job”. I thought he would have many years ahead of him to enjoy a well-deserved retirement and that his need to start walking with a cane was just from age and fatigue. We went through several house moves in a short space of time trying to downsize and improve our finances. Howard was one of the brightest people I knew but was suddenly having difficulty keeping the car from drifting to the right when he drove, repeating things I had just said as though they were original thoughts, always saying “I’m just getting old”. It took two years to convince our family doctor that something was wrong. It took the neurologist just a matter of minutes to diagnose the problem as PSP, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. I think we just looked blank at the diagnosis having never heard of it before but I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach by the words, “I’m very sorry”. I knew then that this was something that couldn’t be fixed and our time remaining would be drastically different. PSP is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s Disease. Sadly, there is no cure and as the name says, it’s progressive. It’s main symptoms are loss of balance and falling backward, difficulty looking up and down, eye sensitivity to light, and weakening of the throat muscles leading to pneumonia. Howard battled the disease for eight years but eventually made the choice to let it run its course. His body wasted away and he had no strength left. He spent his last year living at the Hilltop Manor, Merrickville. The staff did their best to keep him as comfortable as possible in his final days and marvelled at how long he held on. I think it was a great unhappiness for both me and them when he let go. Our time together wasn’t always perfect, Papa, but one thing I told you often will always be true: You always were and always will be my very best friend. I will miss you every day. I hope your suffering is over and your spirit is with past family, friends, and the many lovely “critters” that shared our lives. All my love, Vivienne In lieu of flowers donations in Memory of Howard may be made to the Cure PSP organization. Arrangements entrusted to the, Byers Funeral Home, South Mountain (613-989-3836).

Brown, Roy Gilbert
July 27, 1936 May 28, 2019 After a brief illness, Roy passed away peacefully at Queensway Carleton Hospital on Tuesday, May 28, 2019. Loving husband of the late Esther and good friend to his first wife Patricia. Loving father of Greg (Lisa) and Paul and loving stepfather to Alan and Marnie. Special grandfather to Kyle and Meredith and step-grandfather to Ben, Jackson, and Will. Dear son of the late Roy and Eula Brown and predeceased by his brother Ray (Mare). After completing a Master of Engineering degree at Queen’s University, Roy went to work as a P.Eng. at the Acres firm in Niagara Falls, deciding to work in the field rather than take an offer to complete a PhD in structural engineering at Lehigh University. Over the next 60 years, Roy worked at engineering and structural steel firms in Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and ultimately, established his own engineering consulting company based in Stratford, Ontario. Over his career, Roy worked on some of the most significant engineering projects across Canada and internationally - including hydroelectric dams, cranes servicing container ports, and countless structures that define the skylines in many cities. He did his good work into his 80s and only retired from engineering in January 2019. Roy, like his brother and his wife, was involved with Rotary in Stratford and was honoured with Rotary’s highest award, the Paul Harris Award. At Roy’s request, and in his typical unassuming manner, there will be no service. A private family gathering on Corn Hill Beach in Cape Cod (Roy’s favourite place) will be convened in the coming weeks. Donations in Roy’s memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Sharp, Annie Ursula (nee Cole)
With great sadness, the loving family of Ann, announce her passing, peacefully at home on May 27, 2019, with her family by her side, at the age of 76. Beloved wife of the late Gord for 50 years and loving mother of Stephen (Caroline) Sharp and Mary-Lou (Stuart) Vandervaart. Beloved and proud Granann and Nan to Margaux (Reagan), Cassie (Christina), Cole (Holly), Clarke (Grace) and Cooper. Ann is survived by her loving family, sisters Emma (Walt) Rodway, Bev (Frank) Antle and brother Eric (Ev) Cole and many kind and special nieces and nephews. She will also be missed by her sister-in-law and cousin Peggy Sharp and sister-in-law Marlene Sharp. Predeceased by her mother Hazel (nee Clarke) and father Stephen, big sister Mill (Boyd) Whelan, brothers-in- law Ken Sharp and Don Sharp and sister-in-law Gail Sharp. Ann was born in Victoria, Newfoundland on December 28, 1942. She moved to Toronto at the young age of 17 and began working in banking, where she continued throughout most of her career. She met and married Gord in Toronto in 1964. Work took them to many locations across Canada, finally settling to raise their children in Riverview N.B. After retiring from the CIBC, Ann and Gord moved to Carleton Place to spend time with their family. With their many moves, Ann left special friends all across Canada, from Toronto, Orangeville and Beckwith to New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Many thanks for the special care our Mom received from so many including Dr. Drake, Jessica and the nurses at Bayshore, Marjorie and the staff from the Mills, the UCW ladies, and the team at the Ottawa Civic Medical Day Care Unit that always were so kind to both our parents. Ann was especially thankful to have been such a huge part of her five grandchildren’s lives. She often said she couldn’t believe she was so lucky to be able to do that. She was so very proud of the young adults they have become and the exciting paths that each of them is taking in their lives. Ann was fully aware of the special place that she held in the lives of her grandchildren, children and their partners, as they showed her with their words, their actions, and their time. Her heart was full, and she was so thankful. A Life Celebration will take place July 6. If you so desire, a donation in her memory can be made to the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Canada Inc at alpha1canada.ca.

Treasured memories of the man we held so dear, Husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather Will always be near. We pray that God will recognize One who’s done his share, In helping his less fortunate, With devotion and loving care. Forever loved by Wife Phyllis, daughter Donna, Grandchildren Grant (Becky) Michael (Donna) Great-Grandchildren Joshua and Ruth

CANADIAN ADVERTISING FOUNDATION
Trowels at the ready, seeds at hand, and let's get ready to garden! Renowned gardener Ed Lawrence was on hand at The Table Community Food Centre in Perth on Wednesday, May 29, for the campaign kickoff for the "Great Veggie Grow Off," in which Lanark County communities square off to see which one can grow the most fresh produce for local food programs like food banks. Standing in the garden behind The Table, Lawrence commended the good work done by the organization. "Having to do what we do with food banks, with what you're doing here, I mean, it's all marvellous ... but the fact that we have to, it discourages me," said Lawrence, the head gardener at Rideau Hall, and a regular star guest on CBC Radio One's "Ontario Today," program. "We have hungry kids, in a country, in a province, that is as wealthy as ours, that is a heartbreaker. But you're doing a heck of a job. Thank you so much." He added that, "sharing, it is a blessing. I'm more than glad to participate." For Glennis Harwig, of the Neighbourhood Tomato Community Garden in Almonte, the "Veggie Cup" may be a silly prize that has proven to be a great incentive, not only for friendly competition, but it has a very serious side as well. "Tonight, a third of the world goes to bed hungry," she said. In Canada, if the Americans were to ever block our roads and seaports, "we have only 48 hours of food on our shelves before we go hungry." That is why it was important that "we grow food for our local food banks.
THE ISSUE: FOOD INSECURITY IN LANARK COUNTY LOCAL IMPACT: THE SIXTH ANNUAL GREAT VEGGIE GROW-OFF KICKED OFF IN PERTH ON MAY 29, WHERE VEGETABLES ARE GROWN FOR LOCAL FOOD BANKS. We are filling a gap that none of our governments ever addressed."
THE TABLE TOUR The Table moved to its current location, the home of an old church, in 2011, and soon after changed its direction, from just being a food bank to "addressing food insecurity in a more holistic way," said executive director Ramsey Hart at the start of the tour. It is now a part of Community Food Centres Canada network, and is a place where clients get some help through an advocacy office, they can also get relief on their hydro bills, and learn how to cook at the same time, as well as take part three times a week in community meals. Those meals are also meant to welcome in people who "may otherwise be eating alone," said Hart. There are no questions at the meals: "People sit down and we feed them. It's that easy." The Table has more than 150 volunteers, and Hart told his guests from around the county that "some food banks don't let their clients volunteer (with them). I'm at a loss to explain why," he said, since there are many of his clients who also volun-
Desmond Devoy/Torstar Celebrity gardener Ed Lawrence, a regular featured guest on CBC Radio's "Ontario Today," and head gardener at RIdeau Hall in Ottawa, takes a look at the community gardens behind The Table Community Food Centre in Perth on Wednesday, May 30. teer at the Gore Street facility. He led the tour into the food bank, located in the basement, and admitted that accessing a food bank "is something that most people never want to do in their lifetime." There is no limit on fresh produce at The Table's Good Food Bank, with staff simply asking: "What do you feel you can use? Please take it home with you." At his facility, there is "a strong emphasis on healthy staples." The Table's "largest customer group is 50-plus," and "single parents would be the next largest cohort." Even with all of these initiatives, "none of them are addressing food insecurity," said Hart. For him, addressing income inequality "could alleviate poverty and food insecurity." The tour ended at The Table's community gardens at Last Duel Park, where staff
garden co-ordinator Joanna Kowalczyk showed off the different plants and plots that volunteers were busy cultivating the late afternoon sunshine - as Ed Lawrence leaned down, picked up some vegetation, held it to his nose.
JOIN THE CAMPAIGN The campaign's weigh-in will be held this Thanksgiving Saturday. You can take part by bringing your locally grown vegetables to the following food banks, so you can add your donation to your town's tally: • The Hunger Stop, 5 Allan St., Carleton Place. • The Lanark Highlands Food Pantry at St. Andrew's United Church, 19 Clarence St., Lanark Village. • The Table Community Food Centre, 190 Gore St. E., Perth. • Smiths Falls Community Food Bank, 93 Russell St. E.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
The Table Community Food Centre hosted the launch of the Great Veggie Grow-Off, a friendly competition between Lanark County municipalities to see which one could grow the most fresh produce for the county's food banks. While lighthearted, we wanted to look into this competition and why it is necessary, as it underlines food insecurity gaps in the county.

CONNECTIONS SEEKS VOLUNTEER BIRTH COMPANIONS Connections for families is a non-profit project that is part of Lanark Community Programs (part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services). It is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community. We are currently looking for volunteer birth companions to volunteer their time with young women in our community. Volunteers are especially needed in the Smiths Falls area and Carleton Place. The Birth Companion program began in 1995, it is unique and highly valued in Lanark County. Today we celebrate more than 300 matches made. Its purpose is to support young women, or young women and their partners, throughout their pregnancy, labour and delivery. Every step of the way, a trained volunteer from our community supports the family and the arrival of the new baby. Statistics show when women have good support during labour and delivery, birth outcomes improve, resulting in fewer interventions and labours resulting in caesarean sections. All volunteers apply and are asked to provide three solid references. A police vulnerability/criminal records check is done, and an interview takes place. Extensive training is offered over a three-day period or six evening sessions. Training will be Sept. 18 to 20. Birth companions and participants spend time throughout the pregnancy doing a variety of things together. Accompaniment to a doctor or ultrasound appointment, prenatal classes or teachings, shopping, cooking or just spending time together having a coffee. Mostly, it's having an ear to listen and knowing there is someone in the community they can count on. Birth companions are encouraged to do a birth plan (provided) with their match, reviewing what the women/partner want and hope for during delivery and after. If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children, please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. For more information or to become a volunteer, call 613-257-2779, ext. 3104. Submitted by Maureen Hampton, Connections staff member
