Lanark County fire departments will now declare fire bans BY STAFF
If conditions require, a fire ban may be declared. In the past, Lanark County enacted a countywide fire ban; however, in 2017 the region’s fire chiefs have decided to try something different, fire co-ordinator Les Reynolds told Metroland Media on April 7. He noted it will now be up to the individual municipalities (brigades) to enact and remove any fire bans. The decision was made during a meeting of the county’s fire chiefs on Tuesday, April 4. “It makes sense,� Reynolds said. “Ground conditions differ across the county.� During a fire ban no outdoor burning of any kind is allowed. Typically, the declaration of a fire ban consid-
ers local factors such as ground conditions, the number of days since the last rain, the forecasted weather, available resources, etc. The summer of 2016 was one of the driest, with severe drought conditions declared. The risk for grass fire was extremely high. Although there are no fire bans currently in place this year, Monday, April 10 was a busy day for area firefighters. Grass fires were reported in both Beckwith and Lanark. There is a lot of water around, but the dry, dead grass is still a big cause for concern. Residents are advised to contact their local fire department or municipality before burning or for more information regarding fire bans. “If in doubt, do not do it,� Reynolds said. “Call.�

Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists to host annual Member's Night April 20 On Thursday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m., the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will host their annual Member's Night, to be held in the social hall of Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St. in Almonte. We will welcome from our membership four ambassadors for nature: Bob and Sherryl Smith, and Karen and Bruce Thompson. During the first presentation we will be inspired by a dedicated project in our region involving local youth, gardening experts and enthusiasts, and environmental educators from MVFN, all partnering to create garden habitats for our area's pollinators, and in particular monarch butterflies. The second presentation will feature stunningly beautiful photographic images inspired by nature and created by two accomplished photographers from Almonte. Sherryl and Bob Smith, who reside in Pakenham, have authored the first interesting presentation entitled Partnerships, Pollinators, and Plants. Sherryl is an active member and past president of the Pakenham
Horticultural Society (PHS), and also volunteers with the Pakenham Public School (PPS) Garden Club. Bob is the chair of the MVFN environmental education committee (EEP). EEP enhances opportunities for youth education relating to the wonders of the natural world in the Mississippi Valley watershed, one of the key goals of MVFN. The presentation highlights the partnerships which have been created between PHS, PPS, and MVFN. EEP’s latest project, the Pollinator Garden Project, began in the spring of 2015 with five schools and continued through to the fall of 2016 involving 15 schools and utilizing the knowledge, skills, and dedication of volunteers from PHS and EEP in creating gardens that nurture and provide habitat for diminished numbers of monarch butterflies. The project was initiated and funded by MVFN and EEP in an effort to alert young people to the issue of the threatened monarch. More than 100 monarch butterflies were nurtured, hatched and released
by the students and teachers of these schools. Bob and Sherryl will describe plant selections that attract monarch butterflies and other pollinators. They will also outline the life cycle of the monarch and will provide some observations about garden conditions necessary for pollinator habitats in our region. Karen and Bruce Thompson have entitled their presentation Takin' a Hike. They are gifted photographers and have travelled extensively coast-tocoast and abroad, all the while nurturing their "first
love" of nature photography. They are founding members of Photography Matters, a group of local photographers. The members of this talented group include professionals, amateurs, film aficionados, and digital enthusiasts. There is an organized monthly and sometimes a longer-term photo challenge theme, a photo critique, as well as guest speakers or presentations, all of which helps this talented group of photography artists to further develop their artistic passion and skill. Karen and Bruce will guide us as we step into
2017
the natural world around Prince Edward County and beyond. Our eyes will feast on the beautiful photographic images of birds, flowers, animals, and native scenery. Soft music will further enhance the experience. Please join us for this relaxing and informative evening. The doors will open at 7 p.m. for those wishing to socialize until the start of the presentation. Refreshments will be available throughout the
evening. The MVFN annual general meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. followed by the presentations at 8 p.m. There is a visitor’s fee of $5, but there will be no charge for youth 18 and under. For further information, please contact MVFN's program chair Gretta Bradley at glbradley@ icloud.com. Submitted by Cheryl Morris-Putman for the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists

KYMTC gets set for production of 'The Sound of Music' April 29 to May 14 The Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company is proud to present Rogers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music from April 29 to May 14 at the Urbandale Arts Centre in Kemptville. The musical is considered one of the masterpieces of modern musical theatre featuring such classics as The Sound of Music, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria, 16 Going On 17, Edelweiss and Climb Every Mountain; The Sound of Music remains one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Too high-spirited for the religious life, Maria is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of widowed naval Captain von Trapp. She gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, however, upon returning from their honeymoon, they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis. The family’s narrowly escapes to Switzerland, providing one of the most inspirational finales ever presented in musical theatre. The production is under the direction of Barbara Lacelle, producer Marilyn Conroy, with musical direction by Phillip Konopka, choreography by Laura Anderson, assistant direction
by Kevin Colwell, stage management by Catherine Robbens, set design by Bonnie Selleck, and costume design by Carolyn Bruce. Show dates The show runs for three weekends. The first weekend has performances on Saturday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on Sunday, April 30 at 2 p.m. The second weekend has performances on Friday, May 5 and Saturday, May 6 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Sunday, May 7 at 2 p.m. The third weekend has performances on Friday, May 12 and Saturday, May 13 with a matinee on Sunday, May 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are only $15 and are available from cast members or at Scotiabank in Kemptville. Don’t delay as it will definitely be a production that sells out quickly. The cast has been rehearsing since November and has been working hard to bring you this timeless classic. Bring the family and enjoy the show. For more information on the Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company, visit kymtc.org. Submitted by the Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company

Guatemala Stove Project founder speaks at CFUW meeting May 1 Do you have a stove in your kitchen? Is it electric or gas or wood? Do you worry about about household air pollution every time you use it? If you answered no to these questions, you are fortunate. In Guatemala and other countries, the World Health Organization (2014) states that four million people die prematurely as a result of illnesses caused by using solid cooking fuels for cooking. The Canadian Federation of University Perth & District invites you to join us on Monday May 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion Building at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth to learn more about the the Guatemala Stove Project. The Guatemala Stove Project (GSP) was founded in 1999 by Tom Clarke, who you will meet on Monday night. Tom will share the origins and achievements of the GSP. As well, you will meet Tammy Morrison, a volun-
teer with this project, who will share her insights and experiences from her volunteer trips to Guatemala. Keith Walker will also join us to share with us the Cantel Scholarship Fund, which provides monies for education in Guatemala. The Guatemala Stove Project has seen many improvements in the lives of the Maya. The stoves they build are vented to the outside thereby taking the toxic smoke outside and resulting in cleaner indoor air. The stoves are more efficient than traditional three stone fires. Another benefit is that these stoves use less firewood and by doing so, result in less deforestation. Cap and trade program discussion As well as a discussion of the Guatemala Stove Project, Anita Payne of the Green Party will join us and share a brief overview of the Cap and Trade Program, a carbon pricing program,
which is now being implemented in Ontario. This agenda is jampacked and promises to be very informative. It may even lead to a new volunteer adventure for you. Mark Monday, May 1 on your calendar and join CFUW at the Royal Canadian Legion on Beckwith Street East in Perth. Our meeting starts at 7 p.m. but please come for coffee and fellowship at 6:30 p.m. We would love to meet you. CFUW is an organization of women, linked locally, nationally and internationally, to promote quality education, encourage participation in public affairs and improve the status of girls and women, all in an atmosphere of co-operation, fun and friendship.

Why we are proud
s Canada marked the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge this week, it’s a good time to reflect on the connections we still have today to the men who gave their lives in Europe so long ago. Despite the passing of time, there are Canadians with us today who remember the real people who survived Vimy. Long lost family members. But even when our living connections to 1917 are gone, we should remember all of them and why they served. Canada – and so many Canadians – felt compelled to stand up to aggression. While the best policy is clearly to make every effort to avoid war, humans have yet to perfect that policy. Aggression, especially when the weak are attacked, make our blood boil. Even when evil acts occur half a world away, Canadians have been willing to put their lives on the line, both on battlefields such as Vimy, and in peacekeeping
operations. We should be proud to be the product of a society that uses force as a last resort. We should be proud that we have no imperial ambitions. We don’t try to force anyone to act like us or be like us, Canada simply sets an example and hopes others will follow. This principle has cost the lives of many Canadians. Yet still the world sees inhumanity. It’s ironic – and despicable – that as we mark the anniversary of First World War battles, where poison gas was not uncommon, we see the same weapon of mass destruction used on the Syrian people. In honour of those who have died in all wars, Canada can continue to set the best example – the one set back in April 1917. Help those who need help. Use force only in defence of them, and the defence of ourselves. Just as the Canadians at Vimy hoped to do. Come November, poppies will feel a little more personal this year.
Playing cards to pass time was a staple of Mary’s household Nobody liked a game of cards better than I did. Of course, we young ones were never allowed to play euchre at the Saturday night house parties. That was for adults. But if we could find an extra deck of cards, we could sit on a bed upstairs and play Old Maid, or Snap, two favourite games of mine, while the adults pounded the table down in the kitchen. Although we kids learned euchre at an early age, it was still considered an adult game come Saturday night. The neighbour away on the Barr Line never missed a Saturday night house party. She walked as stiff as a board, and her lips were thin and clamped
together so that you could hardly see that she had a mouth. She had a fierce look about her and even at a game of euchre she hardly ever smiled. She always wore black, and on the hottest night of the summer, she had a crocheted shawl draped around her shoulders. Although father would never be rude to her, he had little patience with her constant talk about the sins of the world, and all of us were going straight to hell in a basket. I often wondered where she would end up, but was too frightened to ask. Even though this woman never missed a card game on a Saturday night, she said she
wouldn’t touch a deck of cards on a Sunday if her life depended on it. Playing cards on Sunday was right up there with swearing or stealing chickens. Whatever church she belonged to forbade it. Well, it didn’t matter to us if was Sunday or Monday. If we had a few minutes to spare, or we ran out of things to do after supper, we got out the deck of cards, and sitting around

the old pine table we played our favourite card games. I wasn’t too quick on the uptake, and always ended up losing at Snap, until I finally realized my brother Emerson, slapped his hand over the up-card before anyone had a chance to look at it. Mother soon put a stop to that and moved him away from the table. It was the same thing with Old Maid. I couldn’t figure out how Emerson knew exactly where the Queen of Spades was, until my sister Audrey discovered him sitting on it, ready to play it at just the right time. My brother Earl loved to build card houses when the table was cleared. I was amazed

at how high he could build without the whole thing falling in a heap. It wasn’t above Emerson to give the table a shake to bring the card house down either. But the Saturday night house party was when cards seemed to rule the evening, with the neighbour from the Barr Line the first to arrive and the last to leave. Of course, the last card had to be played before the stroke of midnight, or she would quit for the night. My curiosity got the better of me one Saturday night when the house party was at our farm, and I asked father why the woman from the Barr Line was so against cards on Sunday. He said he wouldn’t

doubt it for a minute that, when she was alone on a Sunday,, she wouldn’t reach for a deck of cards to break the monotony of living alone, never letting on to anyone. And he gave a hearty chuckle, and said, “It’s like someone who is death against alcohol, sure that the Devil is behind every drop, but takes a sip now and again just for medicinal purposes,” and he put back his head and roared.

My HMS Pinafore adventure with the Mississippi Mudds When a sailor falls in love with his captain’s daughter, who is much above his station and the captain, who is intent on having his daughter marry Sir Joseph Porter, the ruler of the Queen’s Navy, Little Buttercup comes along and changes their lives. How will Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore play out? In HMS Pinafore I am playing Aunt Tilda. Aunt Tilda is one of Sir Joseph Porter’s many sisters, cousins, and aunts who is a member of the chorus. I am the fifth person on the right, leaning over Buttercup, played by Kim Knight. Rehearsals are fun and hard work. We need to learn the music, the words and what will happen in each scene. We also get to mingle with other cast members and make new friends. Rehearsals are especially fun when someone make a mistake and we all laugh our heads off. This will be my third time with Mark Piper as my director. However, this will be my first time with him directing a musical. He is a very experienced director and is able to give us lots of tips and tricks to help us. Mark also gives us lots of leeway when it comes to how we portray our character. Mark is my overall favourite director because of how fun and knowledgeable he is. The musical director Laurel is one of the two musical directors I have had during my three years with the Mississippi Mudds. She is always giving us useful information to help us practice at home and help us gain stronger voices for the stage. Laurel has helped us with breath control and learning the music. As the musical director she cues us on when to start singing and when to finish. This is my first time with her outside of the Junior Mudds musicals and it has been amazing. Both of our directors have helped
us come this far and soon they will help us bring HMS Pinafore to life. To get the role I filled out forms about my experience, sang a song for the directors and waited for a call to find out if I got a role. A few days later Karen Lapointe, the producer, called and told me that I got the role of Aunt Tilda. I started acting four years ago. For my eighth birthday my parents got me acting classes. Later that year I auditioned for my first Mississippi Mudds production, A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream. That was also my first time with Mark Piper as my director. Since then I have done a total of seven plays — three junior musicals: Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Wizard of Oz; two Shakespeare plays: A Midsummer’s Night Dream and King Lear; and this will be my second adult show, along with Peter Pan. I love being on stage
and playing different characters because it is always different and there is always so much you can do with it. Since every character is different it makes the experience of being on stage unique. When I did Shakespeare’s King Lear, I was one of the king’s daughters, Cordelia. Every time I came offstage I felt relief because I put so much emotion into it every show. After doing Beauty and the Beast I felt relaxed because I got to calm down by doing lots of dancing, as I was the Beast’s special rose. The experience of being on stage always feels so different for every show and I am excited to find out what it will feel like after coming offstage after this show. HMS Pinafore will be one of the best Mudds shows I have ever seen or been in. I can’t wait to set sail and enjoy my adventure on stage. The Mudds production of Gilbert and Sullivan's
HMS Pinafore sails into the Carleton Place Town Hall (175 Bridge St.) on the last weekend of April and the first weekend of May. The first performance will take place on Friday evening, April 28, at 8 p.m.,
How to pay yourself what you’re worth and what’s best for your company You’re the owner of an incorporated business and you want to be adequately compensated for your work while sustaining and growing the financial health of your business. You could choose to pay yourself a salary (including bonuses), pay yourself through dividends from shares you own in the company, or pay yourself through a combination of salary and dividends. Which is best for you? Salary • Is a deduction to your company but will also attract both employer and employee Canada Pension Plan (CPP) premiums and, in some provinces, payroll taxes. • Generates Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution room, CPP benefits and is necessary if you wish to establish an Individual Pension Plan (IPP). • Often recommended if the cash need is immediate Dividends • Are paid out of after-tax corporate profits. Corporate income in excess of the small business deduction (SBD) limit ($500,000 federally and in most provinces) is subject to higher corporate tax rates. Most dividends paid out of dollars above the SBD are eligible for a more advantageous personal tax rate. Dividends paid with dollars taxed at the lower SBD rate are non-eligible, resulting in a lower Dividend Tax Credit for the shareholder and, consequently, attracting more personal tax than an “eligible” dividend.

enough salary to reduce corporate profits below the SBD limit, to avoid higher rates of corporate tax on active income. But, with the increase in personal tax rates, more tax can now be deferred by leaving income in the corporation – so, if your personal finances allow, it can make sense to retain high tax rate income inside the corporation for investment. However, to the extent that you require cash on a regular basis, salary is still the preferred compensation choice until corporate income is reduced to the SBD limit. A pure dividend strategy • Taking compensation solely as dividends means that you will not be able to contribute to investments held in an RRSP, will lose access to CPP disability benefits and may not qualify for group disability plans. However, this strategy can allow more income to be saved inside the corporation than could otherwise be contributed to investments held personally within a RRSP or to an IPP and could potentially offset the reduction in future CPP retirement benefits. But this is a complicated strategy that requires consultation with your professional advisors. Compensation planning is closely linked to retirement planning. Your professional advisor can help make the best choices for you. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

As some may have heard by now, the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee will be hosting a public forum on cannabis on April 20 at the upper halls of the Neelin Street Arena in Carleton Place (6:30 to 9 p.m.) They are doing this in light of the proposed federal government legislation to legalize recreational use of this substance. But what do we need to know about weed? And aren’t their more pressing topics to cover regarding drugs, like fentanyl and opioids? First, on the opioid crisis (and it really is a crisis); almost every news media outlet known to us has been covering this topic almost daily for the last several months. And a wellattended and very dynamic public information session was held on March 9 at St. James Anglican Church community hall. Still, anyone with questions or concerns about these potentially fatal substances is more than welcome to attend the cannabis conversation and get answers from the panelists. The problem with cannabis, specifically from the parent demographic attitude, is that it’s generally looked upon as substance without risk to the user. If it was really dangerous, would our federal government legalize its use? Many of the guardian generation often look back with rosecoloured glasses to harmless experiments they performed in their youth that had no lasting effect on their development. But few realize what biologic revolutions this plant has gone through over the years. It now carries its desired substance, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in levels 10 times more than the harvests of the 60s and 70s. A considerable number of credible

LIFE WITH A CAPITAL “L” 7 “For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.” Romans 14:7-9 1. NO ONE LIVES FOR THEMSELVES This is a great message for Easter. The message of being a Christ Follower is that we do not live for ourselves but for Him. When we live for ourselves we have a very negative effect on our world. But if we live for Christ the one who died and rose again for us, we will see great things. 2. WE LIVE FOR THE LORD How can we live for the Lord? How can we truly love Him and put Him first? Jesus said, “If you love me you will obey my commandments.”; “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbour as yourself.”; “He who wants to be first will be last, the one who leads must serve.” You see, God’s Kingdom is turned upside down; it doesn’t fit with the world’s message of fame, money, power. 3. CHRIST DIED AND ROSE AGAIN TO BE LORD OF OUR LIVES It was because Jesus conquered the grave that He can help us conquer anything. There is nothing too difficult for the Lord. There is no sin, no habit, no barrier, no guilt, no shame, no pain, no sickness, no offense, no bitterness that He cannot help us overcome. 4. IF CHRIST LIVED AND DIED WITH US IN MIND, HE BRINGS LIFE “The Thief comes to steal, kill and destroy but I have come that you might have life and life more abundantly.” (John 10:10) “I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25) Because of the resurrection because of what Jesus did when he died on the cross and conquered death, we have life. He gives us true life. There are so many of us seeking true life. Because of Jesus’ death on the cross we have forgiveness of sins. LIFE with a capital “L” is found in Jesus. There is absolutely nothing like it. Recently I had the privilege of going on a mission trip to Ukraine with my son Elijah. While there we saw people living life with a capital “L”. There were some ladies who despite having so little, gave generously to others. One day we went with them to a men’s institution to share some food with the men. These men were in a desperate situation but as the ladies shared, I saw smiles on their faces: resurrection life. This had a major impact on us. Remember as we celebrate the Resurrection that Jesus is Life and wants us to share life to those around.

Mission Statement Helping leaders achieve true significance
Nashville musical treasure visits Perth for performance April 23 Last year, when I first met one of Nashville's treasures, David Olney, I have to admit, in advance, I was a bit intimidated. You'll understand why when I tell you he's a singer/songwriter who wrote the hit Deeper Well with Emmylou Harris and Daniel Lanois; has had his songs recorded by Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Tim O'Brien and others; has recorded more than 20 albums; plays all around the world; and has had several of his songs featured on the hit TV show Nashville. He'd just finished laying down the tracks for his latest album, Don't Try to Fight It (Red Parlor Records) at Carleton Place's Big Muddy Studio, operated by Brock Zeman. Brock had asked me to arrange a show for him. In walks this humble, no ego, friendly guy who was a joy to talk to and work with. His songs mesmerized the full house last year and I can't wait to have him return to The Listening Room Series at The Perth Tea Room (Perth
Restaurant) on Sunday, April 23 at 7 p.m. This quote from Olney's promo information quite accurately describes him: “David Olney doesn't change his appearance; he changes reality's appearance. He changes the room and the way we feel inside the room. He changes hearts, minds and moods, like the rest of us change bed sheets, only without the hassle of ill-fitted corners. His songs are marvels of surprise and delight.” You will love him. Brock Zeman and his sidekick Blair Michael Hogan will open for him. Part of the proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity — Perth. Tickets are $20 and available at The Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant) or by calling 613-267-7902. Dinner reservations can be made by calling 613-267-3170. Speaking of Nashville, I just finished reading a wonderful biography of singer/songwriter Guy Clark, who passed away last year. Titled Without Being Killed or Caught: The Life and
out to the masses that do the stories' justice. He was always promoting unknown singer/songwriters to the music machine of record companies, studios and venues. As Saviano suggests, Susanna and Guy Clark made a profound impact on the folk and Americana music scenes. And by the way, David Olney is in the book too. Music of Guy Clark, it was written by Tamara Saviano, who spent years prior to Clark's death interviewing him and those friends he cowrote with like Steve Earle, Joe Ely, Rodney Crowell, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, John Hiatt, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Jeff Walker, as well as Susanna Clark, Guy's wife and soulmate. It also explains the unique relationship both Guy and Susanna had with the late Townes Van Zandt. I gained a far better appreciation for the principles Guy exemplified. He was truly a songwriter's songwriter. It was never about money for him, rather, it was about getting well written songs

Fans will love this version of anime classic MOVIE: Ghost in the Shell STARRING: Scarlett Johansson, Pilou Asbaek, Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, Michael Pitt, and Peter Ferdinando DIRECTOR: Rupert Sanders RATING: 14A The original Ghost in the Shell is one of my favourite anime movies. To say I was excited to see the live-action version would be an understatement. In a not-so-distant dark future, super skyscrapers touch the sky of a mega city. Holographic ads are everywhere proclaiming the virtues of the corporations. Humans walk around with all manner of cybernetic enhancements, but there is no one like Major (Scarlett Johansson). She is the first of her kind. Her broken body was rescued from a terrorist attack by Hanka Robotics. Dr. Ouelet (Juliette Binoche) was then able to save her human brain and put it in a new cybernetic body. Remade and reborn, Major now serves as part of a special branch of the police called Section 9 fighting the terrorists who almost killed her. Section 9's current target is a mysterious figure called Kuze (Michael Pitt). Somehow, he's

MARK HASKINS
able to hack into people's cybernetics and take them over. Major and her partner Batou (Pilou Asbaek) track him down, but Kuze is waiting for them. When Major confronts Kuze, he reveals certain truths about Major and himself that will change her life forever. Ghost in the Shell is a breathtaking vision of a dark cyberpunk future. From the rain to the neon holograms to the subtle cyberware and the not-so-subtle cyberware, every single detail is rich, beautiful and bold. I find the story just as compelling today as I did all those years ago. The blurred lines between what's human and what's machine combined with action sequences that could have only been done in animation before, making for a film that is both surreal and mesmerizing. The film is not without its controversy. Many have claimed Ghost ... is another example of Hollywood whitewashing.
They're probably not wrong. I could say that this futuristic city lives beyond race and culture, but that's not the point. The point is everyone wants to see themselves in the faces on the big screen. Some of us of a certain ethnic and cultural background have been able to see ourselves up there for a long time. It would probably do us and everyone else a lot of good if we could see some other faces. Does that make Scarlett Johansson the wrong choice to play Major? Maybe. Is she still phenomenal in the role? Without a doubt. She's stunning as this human trapped in a machine. She begins as cold and calculating, and then as the truth dawns, you see her bring her humanity to the fore and it's incredible. The entire cast is excellent. Pilou Asbaek, Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, Michael Pitt, and Peter Ferdinando all immerse themselves not just in these characters, but in this world. It feels less like they're playing their parts and more like they're living them. Ghost in the Shell may have its flaws politically, but cinematically it's brilliant.

THANK YOU It was a pleasure to have served the residents of Smiths Falls and the surrounding area for 40 years. It was truly a memorable experience and privilege to have worked the call of duty alongside many dedicated fire fighters during my career. Thank you to all involved – particularly my wonderful family, my good friends and coworkers, and town councilors – who attended the retirement gathering to celebrate my years of service. Also, a special thank you to those who came to the after party as well as my 60th birthday celebration. The best wishes, cards and gifts were all greatly appreciated.Well, what can I say to the Big “3”. Thank you for the caring and support over the last three years. Your keg and snacks were a hit. Finally, thank you for finding my missing helmet – it was the best surprise of all, and is now back with its rightful owner. Yes, there is a story behind the now returned helmet but that is for another time. Thanks again to everyone for everything. Make each day worth living.

MURPHY, Joseph October 16, 1941 – April 16, 2016 In tears we saw you sinking And watched you fade away. Our hearts were breaking We wanted you to stay But when we saw you sleeping So peacefully and free from pain How could we wish you back To suffer that again? It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

Roy, Carmel Isobel nee Blair R.N.
(December 09, 1922 - April 06, 2017) Carmel Roy passed away peacefully in the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital in her 95th year. Beloved wife, partner and best friend, she is survived by her husband of almost 69 years, Dr. Wilfred A. Roy. Daughter of John Lester Blair and Adelaide Cuddie, she shared her fond memories of growing up on the family farm on the banks of the Rideau River. Carmel is predeceased by her siblings; Jean, Charles, May, Winnifred and John (Jack). Cherished mother of Heather (Jean Dore), Wilfred (Jane) and Robert. Loving grandma to Robin (Stacie) Langtry, Angela Langtry (Matt Ballantyne), Charles (Jing) Roy and Jerry (Michelle) Roy. Proud great-grandmother of Benham and Gwen Langtry and Marie Roy. Many nieces and nephews will miss their aunt Carmel as will her friends. Proud of her Scottish and Irish ancestry, Carmel’s family treasured her strength of character and common sense approach to life and its challenges. We are comforted by our memories. Following her wishes, there will be a private service. www.barkerfh.com
We who love you sadly miss you, As it dawns another year. In our lonely hours of remembering, Thoughts of you are always near. Love always, Your family

COYLES - In loving memory of a dear husband, Elmer Nicholas, who passed away April 18, 1993. I miss him when I need a friend, On him I always could depend He cheered by way, He soothed by pain, God grant some day we’ll meet again. My lips cannot say how I loved him My heart cannot tell what to say, God alone knows how I miss him, In my home that is lonesome today. A beautiful memory dearer than gold, Of a husband whose worth can never be told, Alone and unseen he stands by my side, and whispers, “don’t grieve dear, death cannot divide.” Loved and missed always, Jean

For those who still have their mother Treat her with tender care, You’ll never know the emptiness Till you turn and she’s not there. Love and miss you Mom Your Kids.

MITCHELL April 1992 John, Tom and Michael Together - Forever The morning air was fresh and cold A grandfather, son, and his eight-year-old The three together who loved each other Away they went to pick up mother. They went along and had no fear, Had rested well, their minds were clear, This trip was made many times before, But fate had something else in store. Another man, I cannot name, Earned his fifteen minutes of fame, To drive on the left was his decision Causing a fierce head-on collision. Death was on the road that day, He took three instantly away, One left - a boy - he was only eight Then he left - after a two-day wait. This whole thing was caused by too much drink If only this man had been able to think He didn’t start out to murder and die, But he drank then he drove - I don’t understand why. Sadly missed, Bev, Annie and family

In loving memory of my dear husband who passed away April 13, 1997. Time rolls on and I am reminded of a day my heart was crushed, When God took you, Oh, so quickly, And we all in gloom were thrust. In the bloom of life death claimed you, In the prime of manhood days, But I hope some day to meet you and to be with you always. Love and always remembered, Lea

Did you know that the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz had a wife? And that she, too, was made of tin? And that she, too, thought she had no heart? BarnDoor Productions' new show has nothing to do with L. Frank Baum's famous Oz stories, except that the central character of Sean Grennan's new play is in search of her own heart, as well. The Tin Woman is a comedy drama from an up-and-coming American playwright. It's the simple story of a heart transplant recipient who goes in search of her donor's family, in search of answers and peace. The show has been hailed as "Wonderful!" and "The stuff of humanity" by reviewers throughout the American mid-west, where it has been making the rounds the past two years. It opens on April 21 and features a cast of veteran BarnDoor Productions' performers, others making their first BarnDoor appearances – and still TENDERS
TENDERS
others returning to BarnDoor's stage for the first time in a while. All in all, it adds up to a powerful (and funny) show that both entertains and moves the audience and that provides some real performing challenges for the cast. The Tin Woman is directed by Janice Jacklin, whose recent work has included some shows that have made a memorable mark at Full Circle Theatre: Under Milk Wood, God of Carnage, Death of a Salesman and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? It's the kind of challenge that Janice most enjoys: to work with an intimate group creating an intimate show. The Tin Woman is BarnDoor Productions' (BDP) 113th show and the closer of their 22nd mainstage season. It's a fine conclusion to a series that has already included one of the hottest Broadway shows of the last few years, an all-original adaptation of a classic Christmas story, and a brandnew version of a hundred-year old TENDERS
TENDERS
mystery. Also coming up at Full Circle Theatre, on April 24, is an open audition for BDP's July production, Trifles, Tea & Tape. That's a program of three one-acts, all of them about small things, that add up to big evening of theatre. The show needs three women and four men – everybody is welcome at the audition, which will begin at 7 p.m. All of the details of the show are on the audition page at www.barndoorproductions.ca. BDP is also continuing their search for the people needed for their August production – a brand-new, 2,400-yearold musical comedy! Lysistrata, which debuted in 411 B.C., is the original play of women's empowerment and, in its new version, it's a snappy, sassy, sexy, funny show that needs the biggest cast BDP has put together in decades. If you want to have more fun that a barrel of Greek monkeys, you want to be in Lysistrata.

have something with horticultural content. We remind you that our June photo contest is based on displays of red and white tulips that hopefully include the ones purchased last fall, so remember to snap some photos of your own or any you discover in your travels. Brian is collecting photos for use in the calendar we are planning, so please submit an electronic version of your photos to him. Ask for details. We are just over a month away from our plant sale, scheduled for May 20 this year. Please keep an eye on your garden for any plants that you may consider dividing and donating to the sale. Hosta plants are one example that are easily split. We will have a selection of pots available for those of you who plan to donate plants from whatever source in your garden. We dig, too! If you want to rejuvenate your garden, we can arrange
to come out and dig up plants for you, under your supervision. This may be of interest if it’s time to remove and divide your plants with a share going to the plant sale. We are also seeking unique plants, indoor or outdoor, that you may wish to donate for our live auction that takes place prior to the doors opening for the plant sale. Last year we had some crowd pleasers with special donations from the Garden Market, Gemmell’s Garden Centre on Highway 15, Smiths Falls Canadian Tire, and Green Acres Greenhouses and Landscaping. We are grateful for the support from these local businesses. There is still time to sign up for the bus trip to the Ottawa Tulip Festival. We will leave town at noon and return around 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 21. The cost is $15. There is a workshop being planned at which Linda Svarckopf, a longtime member and an accomplished artist, will guide members in the painting of tulips. Stay tuned!
A reminder that the District 2 annual general meeting will be held on April 22, hosted by the Eganville and Area Horticultural Society at Opeongo High School, 1990 Cobden Rd.

Snow tires are recommended for winter driving conditions “Hi there, Brian. I do enjoy reading your car page. I get it in the Frontenac Gazette. I have a question for you that I cannot get a definitive answer on. Last fall I bought a 2011 Jeep Patriot from a dealer, it has new snow tires (Goodyear Wrangler SR.As P215/65/ R17) they are the tire size and type I believe that Jeep sends them out with. Long story short I live in a rural area with a large hill to get up, the Jeep handled well right up until the snow came. I am not a rookie with snow and have had many four-wheel drive vehicles. The Jeep climbs a hill like a champ and accelerates through the snow great. Where things go bad is on a snowtravelled road cruising along anything over 60 km/h. Its ability to track a straight line is horrific. Tossing me all over the road and I am white knuckling it with steering correction. Hard to describe but it’s like hitting a slush track and having it suck you over, except all the time. The dealer has checked out the Jeep for mechanical issues and it is perfect.
A buddy of mine who owns a garage and sells a lot of tires told me these tires were crap and they don't have a self cleaning tread, which is exactly the feeling I have on the road (like driving on bald tires). I like the Jeep and am thinking of putting on some Cooper Weathermaster ST/2. So my question is do you think this would solve my problem? It would be a $1,000 experiment I am willing to take.” Thanks JS Thanks for the question. Goodyear usually reserved the name Wrangler SRA for all-season, meaning summer tires which would explain their poor performance on snowy roads. If any passenger vehicle tire doesn’t have a snowflake/mountain symbol embossed on the sidewall, then it’s a summer tire and is absolutely useless for our winter roads. Cooper Weathermaster ST2s are good quality snow tires and will work very well in just about any area of

our country. Michelin X-Ice, one of the continually top rated snow tires is my favourite as it performs well on almost any winter road surface and is incredibly quiet and doesn’t affect fuel economy that much. Your best and safest bet is to invest in a set of winters and a set of summer tires. I received a few more submissions from readers on what automakers should be building into their products. Both are great suggestions. "Hi Brian, How about cutting down on the glare from the new headlights for cars travelling the opposite direction and adding a warning light to tell you if a headlight
or taillight or signal light is out.” Yours truly Wally On the topic of headlamp glare, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is now rating headlamps on all the new vehicles they test. They are measured for effective lighting distance, the amount of glare they produce to oncoming traffic, and the area of the roadway they illuminate. Now a vehicle cannot earn the Institute’s top Safety Pick Plus rating unless its headlamps earn at least an acceptable score. “Brian, When so many babies and young children die because they are left in a car in the heat and there is a warning system available, why is it not mandatory for car makers to install this system?” Yours truly, Susan GM is one of the very few automakers to ever give this any consideration and in some of their SUVs they
have reprogrammed the software on their onboard computers to recognize the patterns of certain doors opening and closing before start-up (as they would occur if an adult was placing a child in the rear seat). When this pattern is noticed, then the instrument panel will display a large text warning when the vehicle is turned off and the driver’s door is opened to remind the driver to check the rear seat for passengers. Simple, but effective.

Carleton Place student catches ride to school in fire truck BY TARA GESNER

A Carleton Place student attracted some attention when she arrived at school recently. Third-grader Grace Jones got the ride of her life on Friday, March 31, arriving at Caldwell Street Public School in the Ocean Wave Fire Company’s brand new pumper truck, driven by deputy chief Dave Joy. As the vehicle pulled up with its lights on and siren blaring, the young girl’s classmates cheered her on from the front of the school. Grace was a winner of the Caldwell Reads contest. Principal Casey Nelson told the Canadian Gazette the initiative, which lasted three weeks, was open to primary students (Grades 1, 2 and 3). “We focus on grit at Caldwell,” he explained. “We talk about resilience and perseverance, and we ask our students to demonstrate these qualities both inside and outside the classroom.” By way of the Caldwell Reads contest, “we asked our primary students to read a little more than they typically would,” Nelson said. “We asked them to demonstrate grit.”
He added: “What a really great way to engage kids, getting them to read and have fun at the same time.” Caldwell Reads was the idea of parent council cochair Kate Murray. Three students won the first-place prize of riding to school in the fire truck. They were Grace, Landon Hayward, and Otty Davies. “We only asked the fire department for one ride, but when Dave came to pull names he decided to pull three,” Murray said.
She called the co-operation of the Ocean Wave Fire Company “fantastic.” Other prizes up for grabs by way of the Caldwell Reads contest included brunch with the principal, Chapters gift cards, and tickets to an Ottawa Senators game. “In all, 15 students were recognized,” Nelson said, and “winners were chosen by random draw.” He noted Caldwell Reads was well-received by teachers and the entire parent council.

The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments have been initiated by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills under Planning File Nos.

THE PURPOSE AND INTENT of the Community Official Plan Amendment is a site-specific amendment to change the land use designation from “Parkland and Open Space” to “Residential” in order to facilitate a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit residential uses on portions of the described block resulting from the creation of future residential lots. THE PURPOSE AND INTENT of the Zoning By-law Amendment application is to change the zoning of the proposed subject lots from “Parkland and Open Space” Zone to “Residential First Density Exception 30 (R1-30)” Zone to permit a residential use on the portion of the block subject to the application which will result in the creation of 5 single residential lots with a minimum lot frontage of 15.24m (50ft).

Carleton Place man sentenced to 90 days, three years probation for child luring BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
A Carleton Place man is currently serving a 90-day intermittent jail sentence after pleading guilty to luring a child – a charge from November 2015. Troy Latham, 37, was formally sentenced on March 20 in Perth provincial court, presided over by Ontario Court Justice Peter Wright. Wright accepted the crown and defence’s joint submission of 90 days served intermittently, followed by three years of probation. When asked by the judge if he had anything to say, “No, I am good,” Latham responded. “Thank you, your honour.” Latham began serving his sentence on March 24 in Brockville. He reports to jail on Fridays at 8 p.m. and is released on Mondays at 6 a.m. Latham is working fulltime in Carleton Place, employed at his place of business for some period of time. “It is a stabilizing factor in his life, which is why we asked for an intermittent sentence,” criminal lawyer Mark MacDonald stated. As part of Latham’s probation conditions, he must attend sexual behaviour treatment and submit
a DNA sample, and owing to an order under Section 161 of the Criminal Code, he cannot use any device capable of accessing the Internet, attend swimming pools, parks and playgrounds or have contact with anyone under the age of 16. Exceptions to the order will be considered, and Latham would be in the presence of another adult. Any request must be made in writing to the probation officer. Permission from the probation officer must also be in writing. Furthermore, Latham must: keep the peace and be of good behaviour; appear before the court when required; notify the court and his probation officer of name, address, employment or occupation changes; and authorize the release of information to allow his probation officer to monitor his attendance and completion of any assessment. With the order under Section 161 of the Criminal Code running two years longer than Latham’s probation, after three years he must provide OPP with any device passwords when requested. “To Mr. Latham’s credit, he has entered a guilty plea,” MacDonald stated. “There was never a trial date set...it was always his intention to enter a plea of guilty.” A judicial pre-trial for the
matter was held July 15, 2016. “At that time it was the opinion of the judge that if Mr. Latham were to enter a guilty plea and his sexual behaviour assessment report were to come back that he is a low risk or not likely to re-offend, the court
would impose a sentence of 90 days to be served on an intermittent basis, along with three years probation,” MacDonald noted. The court heard Latham’s sexual behaviour assessment puts him at a low to moderate risk to re-offend.
“Mr. Latham is somewhat embarrassed with respect to his actions...certainly the report is thorough and the court has that report too,” MacDonald said. “Obviously, Mr. Latham himself suffers from certain limitations, an intellectual disability,”
the defence continued. Although MacDonald asked for a three-year order under Section 161 of the code, Kate Ryan, representing the crown, stated, “Our position is more in range of five to 10 years, given the severity of the charge before the court.”

PAKENHAM SCHOOL SAVED
The Upper Canada District School Board recently decided not to close Pakenham Public School. I applaud all the people who worked so hard to save that priceless community asset. Pakenham was one of 16 schools suggested for closure this June. The potential loss of the school threatened to decimate the community. The school council, chaired by Jennifer Downey, and Diane Smithson, CAO of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, worked hard to prepare a presentation to the school board on why the school should not close. Ms. Smithson and school council member Heather Potts presented a strong business case to the board in November. In the end, their presentation made the difference. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin

OPINION
Connected to your community
A day we must remember On April 9, Canadians from coast to coast commemorated the 100th anniversary of the First World War’s Battle of Vimy Ridge. During four harsh days in 1917, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together for the first time, attacking Vimy Ridge and capturing it from the German army. The victory at Vimy Ridge was the result of careful planning, strategy, bravery and perseverance. Unfortunately, the costs were high, with 10,602 casualties and 3,598 killed. Vimy is considered by many Canadians to be an important symbol of Canadian accomplishment. On Sunday, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 held its 2017 Honours and Awards ceremony. I was invited to attend, covering the event for this newspaper. Joann Voyce was named Legionnaire of the Year and outgoing president Brian Comeau received the past president’s award. Too, service pins, executive bars, branch service decorations and 150th anniversary medals were presented. Festivities also included a roast beef dinner, speeches and toasts and a video about Vimy Ridge. One moment really stood out to me – even making the hairs to stand up on my arms. It happened just before first vice president Peter Schaffer offered a toast to “our fallen comrades.” With the lights dimmed, Schaffer asked all attendees to direct their attention to the lone table at the front of the room, located on the platform stage. “Stare at the table and listen to my words,” he asked. Schaffer noted the table was reserved for “our fallen comrades in arms.” He stressed: “We should never forget the brave men and women who answered the nation’s call, and we must be mindful that the sweetness of enduring peace has always been tainted by the bitterness of personal sacrifice. We are compelled to never forget that while we enjoy our daily pleasures there are others who have endured the agonies of pain (both mentally and physically), deprivation and death.”
TARA GESNER Tara Firma Schaffer explained the table is round to show the everlasting concern for fallen comrades, and “the tablecloth is white, symbolizing the purity of their motives – answering the call of duty.” The single red rose displayed in the vase is meant to remind all of us of the light of each fallen comrade, in addition to their loved ones and friends who keep the faith. “The vase is tied with a ribbon, which symbolizes our continued determination to remember our fallen comrades,” Schaffer said. “The slice of lemon on the bread plate reminds us of the bitter fate of those who will never return,” he continued, and “a pinch of salt symbolizes the tears endured by the family of those who have sacrificed all.” A bible on the table represented the strength gained through faith, sustaining those lost from our country under God. The inverted glass...“they cannot toast with us at this time,” the first vice president declared. The empty chair was tilted forward. “Let us remember and never forget their sacrifice,” Schaffer said. “Stand and raise your glass...we will remember them.” Another highlight was the First World War jacket belonging to Charles R. Southwell, the father of 45-year Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 Carleton Place member John Southwell, which was on display during the Honours and Awards ceremony. Charles served in France, enlisting on Nov. 29, 1915 (1st Division of Canadian Engineers - The Famous Red Patch). He was at the Battles of Ypres, The Somme and Vimy Ridge. I was told the wool to make these jackets came from the mill in Almonte. So interesting! I want to thank the legion for inviting me to experience this special day.

The Flippin’ Fiddler Scott Woods brings show to Clayton April 21 BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
If you enjoy live music in the variety of bluegrass, western swing, gospel, and especially old time fiddle, you should know that Scott Woods and his Twin Fiddle Express Tour will be stopping in Clayton Friday, April 21. The Flippin’ Fiddler and his sister, Kendra Norris, will be performing at Clayton Community Centre along with a full band featuring guitar, bass, drums, accordion, and piano. The show begins at 7 p.m. If you’ve never seen Scott Woods live, you can expect to be impressed and entertained. The Twin Fiddle Express features step dancing, storytelling, wholesome family humor, and even fiddle tricks – you’ll see Scott somersaulting and walking on a barrel, all while playing the fiddle. If you’ve seen the Scott Woods Band before, don’t worry – every year, the show changes – the costumes, jokes, and tunes are never the same. Woods is a master fiddler and a winner of the Canadian Open Fiddle Contest and the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Championships. He’s also been declared Canadian Fiddle Entertainer of the Year. As a child, Woods was the youngest member of his musical family, and was brought up playing in his father’s band, the Merv Woods Orchestra. In the mid-80s, Woods became the leader of the group and it evolved into the Scott Woods Band. The Twin Fiddle Express Tour begins in Camlachie, Ontario on March 31 and ends in Richmond, Quebec on Aug. 8. For each of his 67 Canadian stops on this tour, Woods will perform in an effort to raise funds for local charities. To date, the Scott Woods band has raised more than $2 million for churches and charities since 2004. Woods says his father always taught him to give back to his community whenever he can, and so he hopes to continue to play these shows for many years to come. Over the past 25 years, the Scott Woods Band has released 25 albums. Their most recent album, Twin Fiddle Express, features 22 tracks, including classics as well as originals. Woods’ sister, Kendra, accompanies him on her fiddle and harmonizes. They’ve been playing duets together since they were young, and Kendra has the natural ability of finding the harmony lines in any melody. Woods says his favorite aspect of performing is connecting to the audience and witnessing their reaction to the songs. He finds it uplifting when audience members express familiarity with the classics and are inspired to get up and dance. He describes the show as high-energy, exciting, and nostalgic. Kids are encouraged to attend, as the show is

family oriented and fun for all ages. Woods lives in Fergus, Ontario, and when he isn’t touring or booking shows, he enjoys travelling in his airstream trailer and riding his Harley Davidson. Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for kids aged six to 12 and free for
children five and under. Tickets to the Clayton show can be purchased at the Clayton General Store, Nicholson’s in Pakenham, SRC Music in Carleton Place, Baker Bob’s in Almonte, Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth, or by calling Ray/Kathy at 613-256-9010.

struggle to feel hopeful about the future.” It’s armed with this knowledge, that Kwissa believes she can be a lifeline for individuals and families struggling to make ends meet in the county. She describes herself as “211 in person,” referring to the province-wide helpline, 211, which connects people with community and social services. “If somebody is feeling lost, they need to move and don’t have the resources or they are struggling with poverty...I can help with resumes, job searches, disability applications for ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program),” Kwissa explained. “Or if you need a dentist, I can make referrals for that or help with transportation issues.” The Community Naviga-

Weeding through the number of community services in Lanark County can be overwhelming, but that’s where Tracy Kwissa can help. Kwissa began her role as Community Navigator last week at The Hunger Stop – Lanark County Food Bank, where she has an office. The one-year pilot program position was made possible through a $33,800 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. According to The Hunger Stop – Lanark County Food Bank manager Karin Nakamura, while Kwissa will operate out of the food bank’s location at 5 Allan Street in Carleton Place, she will work to team clients up with other community agencies to help provide support. “This is a position that just isn’t for the food bank,” she noted. “It will be housed in the food bank, but the position is overseen by a steering committee of a number of organizations that are county-wide, so the mandate is much bigger than the food bank.” The steering committee includes the food bank, Carleton Place CORE Youth Services, Lanark County Mental Health, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH), Lanark County Situation Table and Mills Community Support. Nakamura indicated that food bank clients often need more than food when they visit. Some are faced with job loss and mounting bills, and others are seniors or people struggling with mental health issues. “Clients come in with multiple problems and it’s about figuring out what’s the most critical thing to address,” she explained. “There are lots of layers and it’s about the support that goes along with it. Having somebody that can walk alongside with them through that is key.” “I’m helping give them (clients) a soft place to land,” added Kwissa. “I’m the person that’s going to help peel back those layers.” While food might be the first necessity, Nakamura said “handing a couple of bags of groceries does not solve the problem.” “Not to minimize the groceries because they are essential, the gro-
judgment. My only job is to help.” Having already helped several clients in her first week on the job, Kwissa looks forward to making an impression on many more. No referrals are necessary. She can be found in her office at the food bank on Monday from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon. On Thursdays, she will work out in the community. To reach her, drop in at the food bank, call 613-250-5846 or email cn.thehungerstop@ gmail.com. “I want to help people meet their full potential and become as confident in their own abilities as possible, so they have dignity and feel they have control over their life,” she stated.
Whatever you’re looking for, these businesses ask you to consider them first. Ashley Kulp/Metroland

Man fined for trapping violations in Beckwith Marek DeSavigny of Ottawa was fined $600 for trapping fisher in the closed season, $600 for unlawfully setting a leghold trap and $600 for trapping without a licence.

Phone charging station installed in Carleton Place arena BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
There is nothing worse than looking down at your cellphone and realizing the battery is running low — or worse yet, it is already dead. Luckily, this will no longer be an issue for people who visit the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) in Carleton Place, owing to a recentlyinstalled TELUS charging station. Recreation and culture manager Joanne Henderson told the Canadian Gazette on March 22 the charging station was put in a couple of weeks ago, located in the arena’s main lobby to the left of the ATM machine. She noted guests can simply plug in their phones for a boost, and it is completely free. The charging station is technologically secure, meaning the con-
tents of connected devices are protected. However, a sign attached to the unit reads: “Arena staff are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged electronics.” In other words, do not leave your device unattended while it is charging. There is the ability to charge up to five devices within the charging station, and there are a couple of different cables. Beforehand, “people would plug into the outlet outside Steph’s (staff member Steph Scollan) office,” Henderson explained. “Then there was a cord running across (the floor) and people could trip on it.” “Or they would come and ask staff for a charger, saying ‘my phone is dead’,” she added. Response to the charging station has been warm. Henderson noted the unit was installed by REC Media, which spe-

Vimy memorial restoration topic of annual Heritage Dinner BY Tara Gesner
tgesner@metroland.com
Oh, what a night! The Carleton Place & Beckwith Historical Society’s 5th annual Heritage Dinner took place on March 9, held in the auditorium at Carleton Place Town Hall. Former mayor and historical society board member Wendy LeBlanc was the event’s MC, and in keeping with the spirit of the night, she used a gas alarm rattle to gather the attention of guests. “I want to welcome all of you who have made the historical society and museum an important part of our community,” she said. LeBlanc thanked the members of Carleton Place and Beckwith councils “for recognizing the role of the museum in the two communities by continuing your financial commitment to the historical society, and for providing the museum a home in the old town hall.” She asked the members of council in attendance to stand and be acknowledged. They were Mayor Louis Antonakos, deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and councillors Doug Black and Sean Redmond. In regards to Redmond, “he is our go-between and advocate around the council table,” LeBlanc said. Others VIPs taking part in the dinner: members of the Roy Brown Society, the museum’s Jayne Henry and her family and a group of students from the applied museum studies program at Algonquin College in Ottawa. “It takes time, hard work and money to keep the museum in the forefront of the community, but it takes leadership,” LeBlanc said. “Jennifer Irwin’s dedication, vision and hard work have measurably boosted the presence of

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Following a rousing rendition of O Canada, “we sure raised the roof,” LeBlanc said, and “what a fabulous roof, ceiling it is.” “You can imagine the amount of

one of the few remaining in Canada. Owing to the 120th anniversary of the town hall, permission was granted to the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum to install — during the month of November — an exhibit about the building’s construction and history in the main hall. Too, Carleton Place’s municipal heritage committee is sponsoring Doors Open 2017, taking place Sept. 16-17. The town hall, of course, will be the main building profiled. LeBlanc noted 2017 is a year of anniversaries, marking solemn occasions such as the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge or happy occasions such as the 150th anniversary of Canada. Next year marks the 100th anniversary of local First World War flying ace Capt. Arthur Roy Brown shooting down German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, in the skies over war-torn France on April 21, 1918. The year 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of Carleton Place. Festivities on March 9 included dinner (Leatherworks Catering), live entertainment (Seth Allison, Christian Van Campen and Joel Hall), guest speaker (Julian Smith) and silent auction. Guest speaker Smith discussed his work as the coordinating architect for the restoration of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France. The monument See DINNER A/CP19

work that went into making this arch and covering it with this beautiful tin pattern,” she continued. “On the outside there is a slate roof, and the slate comes from Vermont.” The year 2017 marks the 120th anniversary of the opening of the town hall.
“The building is located on original Algonquin land, and it is part of the grant given to one of the founding families — the Morphy family who came from Ireland in 1819,” LeBlanc said. The land was sold to the town to build a new municipal hall, replacing the old one — the current location of the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum. Opened in 1897, Carleton Place Town Hall is an important landmark both historically and architecturally. Located at 175 Bridge St., “this beautiful building was designed by George King, an architect from Toronto, and it is a fine example of Richardson Romanesque style,” LeBlanc said. “It is made out of beautiful Beckwith limestone.” “If you go outside and look at it, it looks like a castle,” she added, and “many of the children and adults in our community think of it as our castle on the Mississippi River.” The auditorium has seen such notables as Sir Wilfred Laurier. He spoke in the grand hall during the 1911 election. Furthermore, the CFRA Happy Wanderers performed a live radio show there back in the 1950s. The acoustics are second to none. Generations of residents have enjoyed the facility. “From Murray McLauchlan to the Mississippi Mudds theatre group, in addition to wedding receptions, church services, fashion shows, Christmas concerts,” LeBlanc said. She highlighted the raked stage,

Canadians dominate early in series-winning Game Six against 73’s The CCHL semi-finals series between the Carleton Place Canadians and Kemptville 73’s was a tight one throughout, with each team having their moments to control the games. On Sunday (April 9), with a 3-2 series lead heading into the game, it was all Carleton Place as they won the series with a 6-1 victory. The Canadians got off to a quick start and didn’t look back after gaining a lead 1:07 into the game. Justin Cmunt was gifted a breakaway after a Kemptville defender fell to the ice, leaving the puck and Cmunt all alone inside the 73’s zone. Cmunt made no mistake on the chance, snapping a shot past Nicholas Hodgins’ blocker. “It was definitely nice to finish them off,” Canadians captain Andrew Dodson said. “We got some momentum from the other night with over-time and we played well for the whole game. (We) brought it from the start and we dominated most of the game.” After being called by Jason Clarke the difference-maker in Saturday’s Game Five, Hodgins might have been a difference-maker once again in Game Six, just probably not the way he would have wanted. Hodgins stood on his head, stopping 36 of 39 shots he faced on Saturday. Sunday was a different story as he

allowed four goals on six shots and was pulled after the first period. And while the score was lopsided, Connor Hughes made several big saves for the Canadians when it was still a one- and two-goal game. “I knew coming into this organization the reason they recruited me was I’m a veteran presence back there and I can be good in the clutch situations,” he said. “I thought I did pretty well [Sunday], in terms of being clutch,
(but) the guys in front of me did such a good job they made my job really easy.” Clarke mixed up some of the lines as Dodson came back into the lineup on Sunday, and put Dodson with Alex Friesen and Connor Merkley. The new trio seemed to work well and generated offensive chances and led to Dodson scoring the game-winning goal. It came 9:18 into the game with a nice pass from the corner by Merkley

to Dodson in front, who showed off a slick set of hands to slip past Hodgins right on the edge of the crease. “After missing those games, coming back and switching lines, we hadn’t really played well together much this year but I thought we played well and controlled the puck,” Dodson said. “But we had all four lines going, which is definitely big for us going forward.” The two Hill’s – Brent and Connor – both scored before the end of the first,

before Adam Donnelly and Sam Knoblauch scored in the second period to give Carleton Place a 6-0 lead. Nicholas Bissonnette ended the shut-out bid from Hughes with 2:24 left in the middle period. His shot from the blue-line took a deflection on the way and bounced past Hughes. The win on Sunday put the Canadians into the CCHL Finals for a fourth straight year and sets up a rematch against the Ottawa Jr. Senators. Last year, it took the Canadians until Game Seven to claim their third consecutive Bogart Cup. “Last year was a lot of fun, but they’ve got a good team this year and we’re going to have to be ready every night,” said Dodson. The series will be a good goaltending match-up as well as it’s expected Hughes and Ian Andriano will be facing off against each other – in a sense – for each game. “Me and (Canadians goalie coach) Eli (Rassi) have been working on controlling the things I can control. Andriano is having a really, really good playoff run, but I’ve just got to focus on myself and how I’m doing. Obviously, I’ve got to be better than him next series but it’s something I think I can do.” Submitted by Daniel Vazzoler, Carleton Place Canadians

“It’s cool that such a small club could achieve such a big honour,” said club member Holly Quinn, 13. “We all just went out and did our best and that must’ve been good enough.” Club coaches Natasha Peterson, Katie Skerkowski and Tracey Jamieson were all proud of the way the skaters performed. “They really worked hard and when you work hard, it tends to pay off,” Skerkowski said. “We hope that the merg-

ing of the two clubs will ensure the continuity of skating in this area for years to come. Not only do we have a talented group of skaters in the STARSkate level right now, we have quite a few talented skaters moving up.” We also want to thank the many local businesses who generously sponsored our event with both monetary and loot bag donations.

Almonte Fair Board receives Trillium Foundation grant As a third generation member of the North Lanark Agricultural Society board of directors, I’m aware of the history of the society and what has been contributed to the community over the last 159 years. Over the years, our grounds featured many buildings; some are gone, others displaced, and some are still standing. The oldest building, which is still standing 152 years later, is the agricultural hall. The original hall was built in 1865, and in 1868, due to heavy snow, the roof collapsed. In 1869, the present agricultural hall was rebuilt. Over the years, the agricultural hall has undergone numerous repairs including refurbishing the front, the roof, and relocation of the bathrooms. During the open season (May to October), the agricultural hall is utilized for many events such as weddings, dances, and craft and artisan markets. The grounds itself hosts many major events yearly such as the Flea Market, Bus Fusion, Almonte Fair, Car Toot Bingo, and many more entertaining activities. For Canada’s 150th birthday, the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) offered a grant to help keep the Canadian heritage strong. In 2016, the board applied for the OTF grant to-
ward repairs to the exterior of the agricultural hall. Just prior to Christmas, we received exciting news that we were successful and had been awarded the funds needed to complete the project. A condition of the grant requires us to match a third of the funds, which we have done. With fundraising through the past few years, we are now happy to report that all the money we raised and all the money that was kindly donated will be put to great use. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who has supported us for this major project. The agricultural hall will finally be restored to its beauty; leaks will be fixed, windows replaced, and the balcony refreshed. As we continue to fundraise for ongoing improvements in the agricultural hall and on the grounds, we hope that you will continue to support us. Some of our upcoming events are Almonte Ladies Night on May 12, the Truck and Tractor Pull on May 27, and the Spring Dance on June 3. These and more events will help us provide a venue for future events and memories. For further information, please go to our website: www.almontefair.ca.

Decades of Caring for Patients They have spent decades caring for patients. Recently, colleagues came together to show that we care for them too. Dr. David Atack and Dr. Timothy McKibbin are both retiring after long careers at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH). And they will be missed. Dr. Atack has been a consulting neurologist in both Almonte and Carleton Place for more than 40 years. “He is a great colleague who helped many patients in our area over the years,” notes Dr. Scott Higham, CPDMH’s Chief of Staff. “He did one of the most thorough consults that we as family doctors have ever received from any specialist.” Dr. McKibbin has served local patients for many years as a consulting cardiologist. “Dr. McKibbin also helped many people in our area. His consults were very practical, and he also has a great sense of humour,” adds Dr. Higham.
Colleagues toasted Dr. Atack and Dr. McKibbin at a special celebration at Heirlooms in Almonte.
The nurses at CPDMH agree. “Both doctors were very nice to work with and patients loved them. They provided a very valuable service in our community. And we’ll miss Dr. Atak’s humour too. He started each day off with a joke!”
Thankfully, both doctors have ensured that cardiology and neurology services will continue in Carleton Place. They have recruited excellent physicians to (try to!) replace them. Many thanks from everyone at CPDMH for your many years of caring. Happy retirement!

those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War. April 9 marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. It is Canada’s most celebrated military victory, and its message is one of bravery and sacrifice. Throughout four harsh days in 1917, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together for the first time, attacking Vimy Ridge and capturing it from the German army. However, with success came loss. The Canadian Corps suffered 10,602 casualties: 3,598 killed and 7,004 wounded. A grateful France granted Canada the land where the Canadian National Vimy Memorial rests. Designed in the 1920s by Toronto sculptor Walter Allward, the monument, which commemorates Canada’s contribution to the Great War, took 11 years to build. It encompassed in excess of 15,000 tons of concrete and reinforcing steel, as well as 6,000 tons of Seget limestone from Croatia. King Edward VIII unveiled the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on July 26, 1936. It is inscribed with the names of 11,285 Canadian soldiers
who were listed as missing, presumed dead. In 2001 the departments of Veterans Affairs and Public Works announced a $30 million program to restore Canada’s 13 First World War monuments in Europe, with two-thirds of the money earmarked for the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Decades of wind and rain had eroded many of the names inscribed on the monument and left its walls cracked and crumbling. The key problems: water penetration (limestone is porous) and thermal expansion. “This was really a monument falling apart in front of our eyes,” Smith stated, and “losing those names meant losing the only records of people who gave their life in the war.” Back then, “concrete was seen as magic material that would last forever, which is not true,” he continued. The restoration of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial began in 2004, taking approximately two-anda-half years. Prior to this, there was historic research, production of final drawings and the tendering process. So much went into this renovation project, including demanding physi-
cal effort, delicate artistic labour and more. There were a number of technical challenges too. Mother Canada, for instance, carved from a single piece of stone, is the largest piece on the monument. “We had to leave her in place but prop her up,” Smith said. To guard against water penetration and thermal expansion, all the limestone was stripped off the monument, using a hydraulic-powered saw. The reinforced concrete was cleaned and an impervious membrane was applied. “The memorial’s base was taken apart and the stairs were removed and reset with waterproofing underneath them,” Smith said. When the paving stones were put back, the limestone was not embedded onto the concrete or the membrane. Instead, space was left between the materials, improving drainage. Sandbags were also used in some places. Smith described the difficulty of searching for matching white limestone, which was eventually found in a Roman-era quarry in Croatia, as well as the care that was taken when the engraved names of Canadian soldiers were replaced.
“We also had to find the right mortar … mortar that would allow for thermal expansion,” he continued. A couple of dozen people worked at the site every day. Smith noted the landscape was dangerous. He told the story of a young man on a front end loader, trying to pull something out of the ground. It was an unexploded ordnance. Luckily, “someone was able to catch his attention,” Smith said. “If not, he would have blown himself and us to death, and it would have severely damaged the monument.” A week earlier, the skeleton of a German soldier was unearthed during the excavation of a temporary parking lot next to the monument. “It really brought home the fact that we were working on sacred ground, still running with the blood of these soldiers,” Smith said. “This made it real for everyone who worked on the project,” he added. The Canadian National Vimy Memorial restoration was finished on time and on budget. The co-ordinating architect praised the team involved in the initiative.
“We were all equals,” he said. “We cut away the hierarchy … no one was more important.” Calling it a very daunting task, Smith noted, “You knew you were not alone.” Following the restoration, Queen Elizabeth II rededicated the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on April 9, 2007. Smith was in attendance. An estimated 750,000 people visit the site, maintained by Veterans Affairs Canada, annually. Smith will always remember the two gorgeously carved faces on the memorial that could not be seen from the ground. “They were looking up,” he said. “No one could see them other than God.” The Carleton Place men who died during the Battle of Vimy Ridge: Lt. Rev. John Hatchell Halliday Christie, 25, April 10, 1917; Pte. Joseph Edward Hockenhull, 23, April 9, 1917; Pte. Eugene Arthur McDiarmid, 19, January 20, 1919 (from lasting effects of poison gas); Pte. Harold William McDiarmid, 20, April 14, 1917; Pte. Percival Moore, 16, April 9, 1917; and Pte. Daniel O’Donovan, 33, April 9, 1917.
