ALMONTE GETS THEIR CLOSE-UP IN FEATURE FILM ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The secret's long been out that the Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills areas have become sought-after locations for film shoots and the cameras are continuing to roll this spring. The latest to set up shop in the region is the feature film, The Exchange, starring Justin Hartley of This is Us, as well as Australian actor Ed Oxenbould and Canadian Avan Jogia. The Exchange, based on writer Tim Long's small town Canadian upbringing, is a comedy set in the 1980s, said casting company Smyth Casting. "Tim (a self-described angry, nerdy, introverted teen) signs up to a student exchange program in the hope of importing a sophisticated French best friend who will help get him into parties and get ahead with girls," stated a release by the company. However, he doesn't quite get the best friend he anticipates and comedy ensues. Much of the filming for The Exchange will take place in Al-
monte and gets underway April 15 until the end of the month. Other scenes will be shot in Ottawa. Crews were prepping set locations along some shops on Mill Street this week, including Cheerfully Made Goods + Markets, The White Owl Antiques and Collectables and L.G. Lee & Sons hardware store. Other filming locations include Mill, Little Bridge and Brae streets, McCarton Road, inside and outside the Superior Restaurant and the former Ultramar parking lot. Tiffany MacLaren, community economic & cultural co-ordinator with the Municipality of Mississippi Mills said it's an honour to welcome film scouts and directors to Almonte and the economic impact is a big boost to the municipality. During the April 2 council meeting, MacLaren provided a report to council on The Exchange Movie Company Inc.'s request for road closures and outlined crews expect to spend more than $110,000 in town this month.

clude location fees and site rentals ($60,000); fuel for production vehicles ($15,000); lumber and hardware for sets ($10,000); props and set dressing ($5,000); restaurants and coffee shops ($10,000); shopping ($5,000); accommodations ($10,000); food and beverage ($5,000); local hires for daily labour ($5,000); and general supplies ($5,000). It's nice to have the increased exposure and be featured on television, however MacLaren strives to ensure residents and businesses aren't negatively impacted by filming. She works with the film crews, who go above and beyond to keep disruption to a minimum. "While we do feel overall the economic impact is positive, we have to be very careful to manage how our local businesses are affected," she explained. "While some
shops are chosen as locations and will close for filming, many are not and continue to be open for business." She's been pleased with the "understanding and respect" shown by the location managers and production team. "They are in the process of meeting with every business owner in the area and will ensure any business impacted negatively is compensated," MacLaren stated. In past films, Almonte has served as a popular stand-in for small U.S. towns, such as Vermont, but with The Exchange, the maple leaf will be flying proudly. "(The Exchange) is entirely Canadian, which is extra special," MacLaren commented. Residents and visitors may experience some road closures or delays in downtown Almonte over the next few weeks, but
it's business as usual. The OPP will be on site for all road closures and detours and stoppages will be managed by Beacon Light. Alternate parking and shuttles will also be set up if necessary. "I encourage residents and visitors to continue to shop in downtown Almonte while the film crew is here," MacLaren said, noting the film crew is open and engaging, allowing bystanders to watch quietly from a distance. "Most of your favourite shops and restaurants are open. You may even get a peek at the action." Want to get involved in filming? Smyth Casting is seeking paid extras - teenagers 16 and older for April 1530, May 1-5, and all ages April 22-24. Those interested can visit Smyth Casting's Facebook page or apply via email to smythbooking@gmail.com with your email, phone number, dates available, age, union status

(non-union or ACTRA) and a recent photo. Local impact According to Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) co-ordinator, Kate Murray, there's a lot to gain from having film crews in town. Carleton Place was recently host to the cast and crew of Broadview Produc-
tions' Christmas Scavenger Hunt, starring Tom Arnold. It shot at locations in Almonte and Pakenham as well. "Things such as movie shoots brings people and awareness to our great town," she noted, "which directly impacts our retailers, restaurants and service providers. Tourism in our area
is something that Downtown Carleton Place, our information centre and the town is constantly working and improving upon." She said residents also view the movie shoots as a source of pride and enjoy seeing their hometown on television. She referenced Christmas Around the Corner, the Hallmark movie directed by Megan Follows, which shot in Carleton Place and Almonte last August and September. It aired on W in December. "Social media platforms were abuzz with excitement," she remarked. "Our population is growing and by having these sorts of things happen in and around the downtown, instantly, people have a sense of pride," Murray continued. “This will no doubt morph into a love and connection to the town, which is proven to impact the longevity of a vibrant and engaging downtown core." "These are all good things. We love it and want more of it!" Murray said.

'PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE': ONTARIO AUTISM PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS DISCUSSED TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Families of children with autism face many challenges, and raising a child with autism requires the commitment of family, friends, neighbours and communities. The first Monday of every month, the Autism Parent Support Group meets in Carleton Place at 30 Bennett St., the headquarters of Lanark Community Programs (LCP). Participants include parents, family members, support workers and professionals. They discuss relevant issues, support one another and advocate for their children. On April 1 the group gathered to speak about further enhancements to the Ontario Autism Program. Special guests included John Jordan, the executive director of Lanark Renfrew Health &
Community Services, LCP's governing body, and Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier. On Feb. 6, Lisa MacLeod, the minister of children, community and social services, unveiled the extensive changes to the Ontario Autism Program, calling them necessary to ensure 23,000 children on the province's therapy wait list would have access to necessary services within 18 months. There are 350 children and youth in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville waiting for service. "An enhanced version of the program was released on March 21," said Anna Goodings, the manager of the autism program at LCP. According to Autism Ontario, around 100,000 people in the province, including 40,000 children, are on the autism spectrum. Autism is a lifelong neuro-
logical disorder affecting the way a person communicates and relates to the people and world around them. "So, what are the facts we know ... there is still a commitment to clear the waitlist in the next 18 months," Goodings said, and "the newest announcement is there is no income testing." As a result, all families of children and youth under the age of 18 with a written diagnosis of autism from a qualified professional will now be eligible for a Childhood Budget. Children aged two to five will receive $20,000 annually in direct funding, while those aged six to 17 will receive $5,000 annually. "The money will be based on diagnostic needs," Goodings noted, and "we are much happier with this news." There is also additional

and occupational therapy. "Right now, we do not know what form this will take, but this is good news -
an improvement we were happy to see," Goodings said. Parents wanted to know how the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services is approaching the waitlist. "It is based on a combination of time and the wait for service," Goodings explained. "The focus is on early intervention ... the sooner children get intensive therapy the better the outcomes are for them." How will the transition be managed? "This could take a while to develop," Goodings noted. "There will be a new independent intake agency overseeing all of this, supporting registration and intake, advancing funding and managing the waitlist." The province indicated the agency will be up and

TIME TO SHINE FOR MISSISSIPPI MILLS VOLUNTEERS ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Volunteers are the lifeblood of a community and Mississippi Mills celebrated theirs in style April 11. The municipality, in partnership with the Almonte Civitan Club, Almonte Community Co-ordinators (the Hub) and Mills Community Support, shone the spotlight on this selfless sector of the community during its annual Volunteer Appreciation Night at the Civitan club. The event coincided with National Volunteer Week (April 7-13). "I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the many hours that you've contributed to our vibrant community," remarked Mississippi Mills Mayor Christa Lowry. "Mississippi Mills is made up of diverse individuals of
all ages who add colour to the fabric of our community ..." Lowry thanked volunteers for the integral role they play in contributing to the municipality's successes, highlighting organizations such as the Almonte Lions Club, Almonte and Pakenham Firefighters' Association, MM2020, Bridging Generations, as well as Light Up the Night contributor Don Wiley. "You should all be very proud of your contributions and we're all more enriched because of them," she commented. " ... The value of your efforts is immeasurable and the resulting waves and ripples of impact raise us all." Each appreciation evening, a group is chosen to highlight what they do and this year that honour went to Naismith Men's Shed, one of the community's
newest organizations, formed in spring 2018. According to member John Peters, it is part of 1,500 Men's Sheds worldwide, carrying a purpose "to find a place that will help to break the sense of isolation, solitude, depression that often affects men, especially when they are first retired. Naismith Men's Shed meets a couple times a month for meetings and breakfasts, as well as works together on projects at their home in Mill of Kintail. Since spring, Peters said they have grown to 35 members and since then have built the raised gardens at the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library, constructed 50 bee condominiums for a Mississippi MaSee MUNICIPALITY, page 33

Officials and emergency crews were on the scene of massive flooding near Pakenham April 15. A photo of a car surrounded by water on Highway 29, at the railway trestle leading into Pakenham from the Almonte side, is making its way across social media this morning. Lanark county public works director Terry McCann said it could be at least early afternoon before the water recedes. "It's coming in as fast as it's draining. There's threeand-a-half feet of water here," McCann said. "We have water everywhere." Traffic toward Pakenham was being rerouted. McCann's crews also got signs and barriers up.

CONCERNS OVER MORE RAIN THIS WEEK Continued from page 5
other county roads are threatened, just small lanes and long driveways. "None are in danger of closing right now," he said. Rod Cameron is operations manager with Mississippi Mills. He said traffic is being rerouted through Almonte to Upper Dwyer Hill Road. He doesn't appear fazed by the dramatic images. "I've seen it worse there; a lot deeper. It's happened two or three times over the last 15 years," Cameron said. "The water is coming out of the bush now. It's off the fields, but it's just coming out of the bush now. And we had a hard rain last night." Two other roads in the area were flooded April 14 but have since cleared. Concession 6 at Old Union Hall Road and Old Perth Road are passable. Cameron is concerned about Water Street along the Pakenham Fairgrounds, however. It tends to flood frequently. If a lot of rain falls on Thursday and Friday, he added, there could be roads flooded in other areas of Mississippi Mills as well. Mississippi Mills fire chief Steve Giberson said the stranded car can be explained. It is difficult to see far ahead, especially in the dark. And it's early morning; the person likely has a routine that takes them along that road and humans have a tough time breaking routine. "And it's just hard to tell how deep it is," Giberson said, adding that situation isn't going to play out along another road soon. "We don't have any red flags in the (provincewide monitoring) system warning us yet."

PROJECT NOTICE
Town of Carleton Place Schedule ‘A+’ Class Environmental Assessment Bridge Street Pumping Station and Forcemain Upgrades The Town of Carleton Place (the Town) plans to upgrade the Bridge Street Sewage Pumping Station and Forcemain to adequately service the existing and forecasted future growth within the pumping station’s sewer shed. The Bridge Street Sewage Pumping Station is located at 340 Bridge Street, and currently consists of two (2) submersible pumps installed in a concrete rectangular wet well. An adjacent building houses the electrical equipment, control panels and back-up diesel generator. As part of the proposed upgrades, the existing above-grade building will be upgraded with a new pre-fabricated building of the same dimensions on top of the existing building’s foundation. The existing wet well structure will be maintained, while all pumping equipment, pipes, hatches, ladders and platforms will be replaced to adequately service the expected future demands, as well as provide enhanced operator access. All electrical equipment will also be replaced, and a new exterior-mounted natural gas driven back-up generator will be installed to ensure that the pumping station continues to operate under emergency conditions. The existing 100 mm diameter forcemain, which runs from the Pumping Station to the intersection of Bridge Street and Townline Road will be de-commissioned, and replaced with a 150 mm diameter forcemain along the same route. This project is being carried out in accordance with the Terms of the Municipal Class Environment Assessment (Class EA) process, which is approved under the Environmental Assessment Act. Construction of the works is expected to take place during the summer and fall of 2019. By this notice, the public is advised of the Bridge Street Pumping Station and Forcemain Upgrades, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process. Any questions or concerns regarding the project should be directed to the following Municipal contact: Mr. Dave Young Director of Public Works Town of Carleton Place 175 Bridge Street Carleton Place, ON K7C 2V8 Facsimile: (613) 257-8170 Electronic-mail: dyoung@carletonplace.ca

LISTEN TO STUDENTS, DON'T DISMISS THEM Ontario's education minister should have ventured out to talk to students April 4 instead of dispensing a self-serving press release from her ivory tower in Queen's Park. If she had, perhaps she wouldn't have responded to students exercising their rights of expression in such a condescending fashion. If the protesting students across the province were like those in Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Perth last week, they were well-versed in what the provincial government is planning for the education system. And for the most part they don't like what they see. So good for the students. Instead of wallowing in apathy or self-pity, they organized public rallies to show how seriously concerned they are about proclamations from on high directly affecting their futures. Calling the rallies political 'stunts' and the students 'pawns' of the unions and teachers, as Lisa Thompson and Doug Ford have, is a slap in the face to all those students who took the time to research the issues. And then share their views with a noisy but respectful protest. There was no Yellow Vest car-burning or looting in Ontario. They have a solid case when they argue boosting the class size from 22-28 in non-urban school districts such as Lanark County probably means classes of at least 40 (there are many in the 35 range now). For rural students, the change means less choice when it comes to course selection and the possibility arts and music classes and extracurriculars could be a thing of the past. Then there are the mandatory online courses - certainly easier for city students to take than those where high-speed internet is spotty at best. The cuts to the Ontario Student Assistance Program are also more damaging in rural areas, where students have to move away from home for post-secondary education. No wonder students are upset. The new education vision could even reduce the job opportunities they have at home. The loss of teacher jobs may not have a major impact on the urban economy, but dropping somewhere teaching positions will hurt local small business (and if health care cuts come too, it will be a double whammy). Students are not only defending their education, they are standing up for the local economy and fair play for rural Ontario. It's not the students who are behaving like political pawns. It's those politicians who are using ideology as an excuse not to listen to them.

WHO WE ARE
LETTERS & COMMENTARY ANTI-IDLING BYLAW LONG OVERDUE DEAR EDITOR: I read with mixed emotions your April 4 coverage of the overdue antiidling bylaw request put forth to Carleton Place council succinctly by members of the Carleton Place Environmental Advisory Committee (CPEAC). It is unfortunate that it took a dedicated volunteer group to impress upon elected council members and citizens the importance and the need for an environmental support bylaw in 2019. People who dare to venture beyond fulfillment of their selfish, regressive and wasteful life-styles and then rant on about the stupidity of the new federal carbon tax should be asked to think about the consequences of their choices on this small and fragile planet that we all share. There is nothing like walking across a paved parking lot on a stiflingly hot day and feeling the
added heat burning off parked cars hearing the air conditioning blasting away from an open window providing "fresh air" to the occupant. Or to see a car idling for picayune reasons for undetermined time spewing toxic fumes. An anti-idling bylaw is sensible and necessary to change the public's behavior and preserve air quality. I hear from accredited, reliable sources that damage to the environment is accelerating at a much quicker pace than originally anticipated. We have maybe a 20-year window in which to slow down the degradation and destruction before it picks up so much speed and velocity that it can't be stopped before hitting a wall.
BILL BOUSADA CARLETON PLACE
CARTOON MAKES LIGHT OF CLIMATE CHANGE DEAR EDITOR: I take exception to the editorial cartoon in the April 4 issue of the Canadian Gazette. Climate change is affecting us all and we all need to act. Carbon taxes work. B.C. implemented a carbon tax in 2008 - it has reduced emissions and B.C. has one of the strongest economies in Canada. The federal carbon tax will be offset by a rebate to all citizens; for many the rebate will be equal to any additional costs. If individuals take action to reduce their carbon footprint - even easy steps - they could end up with more money in their pockets. No anxiety there!

HILLIER COY ON SUPPORTING 2019 ONTARIO BUDGET DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Lanark-FrontenacKingston MPP Randy Hillier says he's uncertain if he will support the Ford government's first budget. "I'm not sure yet," said the Independent MPP during an interview at his Perth constituency office on Friday, April 12. "I've only looked at it briefly," as it had been handed down at Queen's Park by Finance Minister Vic Fideli the afternoon before. "I'll be going through the budget, as I do every year, and see how I vote." However, he already saw some aspects of the budget he did not care for. "I'm disappointed that we are running four more years of deficit spending," said Hillier, with Fideli predicting the province operating in the red until 202324. "They did not find the savings they said they would." He pointed to "corporate welfare" as an area where "they could find substantial savings." In his estimation, it is not the role of the government to "bankroll" corporations. He did call the new provision for dental care for low-income seniors "a good initiative," he said. The plans hopes to cover the two-thirds of Ontarians who do not have dental coverage, and would offer individual seniors making less than $19,300 or couples making less
than $32,300 support. If he were still a Progressive Conservative MPP, he admitted that "the expectation would have been for me to vote for the budget, regardless of what is in it."
DEVIL'S DETAILS "The devil is in the details," said Hillier, pointing to last year's federal budget, which included details of a law for deferred prosecution agreements - which has, this year, become politically explosive during the SNC-Lavalin scandal. "Nobody saw that little detail" last year, he said. He sees similar laws being ushered in under the guise of the budget, some of which have little to do with the province's finances. Ideally, the budget should be "the financial statement for the province. It came out and signalled the level of taxation, the level of revenue to be created," and so on. Admittedly, a rather "dry and technical document." While governments of all colours have started loading disparate pieces of legislation into omnibus budget legislation, he charged that the Ford government has taken this practice to "new heights." A modern Canadian budget is "more similar to the throne speech, without the dignity of the throne." By way of example, "the colour of licence plates ought not to be included" in the budget.

One area where he finds himself in agreement with the Ford administration changing the province's alcohol rules. "I'm in favour of relaxing the restrictions on alcohol sales," said Hillier, such as allowing licensed premises to be allowed to start selling alcohol at 9 a.m., and extending last call to beyond 2 a.m. "It is long overdue." However, on another alcohol-related matter, "it is not a budget item to include tailgating in a budget." However, by allowing tailgating, "I don't think the province will go to hell in a hand basket," he said. On the dental file, Hillier called issues around dental care for seniors "one of those unseen problems," and he has had seniors in distress come to his office seeking help. He commended local service clubs and the North Lanark Community Health Centre, and Rideau Community Health Services for helping seniors in dental need. He lamented that it "would have been beneficial" to help low-income youth also access dental care.

FIRE TRUCK TO BE WRAPPED TO HONOUR CARLETON PLACE 200 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place is celebrating 200 years of community in 2019. To commemorate the occasion, the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) is wrapping its front line pumper (#220), and "we are looking for the support of local businesses, residents and others," deputy fire chief Dave Joy told the Canadian Gazette on April 12. "Wraps have been used by many fire departments across the province: Toronto, Ottawa, Brantford and Vaughan," he said. Council approved the wrap at its committee of the whole meeting on April 9. However, there is no proposed financial impact to the town's budget. The OWFC will solicit donations from the public to offset the cost of the wrap, which is estimated at $10,000. "We are looking for 20 $500 sponsors," Joy announced, and "it is on a first-come, first-served basis." The names of sponsors

STEVE GIBERSON APPOINTED INTERIM MISSISSIPPI MILLS FIRE CHIEF ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com As of April 8, Mississippi Mills has a new interim fire chief. Council appointed Steve Giberson to the role at its April 2 council meeting. Mayor Christa Lowry said the decision was made earlier in the meeting during an in camera session. "The municipality looks forward to working with the interim fire chief for the betterment of our fire department moving for-
ward," noted a press release. Previous fire chief Scott Granahan retired and his last day was April 7. He had been in the role since Oct. 23, 2018 and was most recently fire chief for the Town of Meaford.
FIRE SEASON IS HERE With spring in the air, the Mississippi Mills Fire Department is also reminding residents of its open air fire bylaw that restricts fire permit holders from burning during the
hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from April 1 to Oct. 31. The exception is campfires and outdoor fireplaces. The fire department is asking the public to call 613-706-4004 if they have questions about burning or to find out if a burn ban is in place. The municipality has set up a system where permits can be accessed, free of charge, at mm.burnpermits.com. They can also be obtained at the Almonte fire station and municipal office.

A public information centre has been set for that evening, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Almonte Old Town Hall auditorium for the Almonte Downtown Core Infrastructure Renewal. At a public budget meeting April 4, director of roads and public works, Guy Bourgon, noted "we will have a consultant

there presenting the 60 per cent design drawings and getting your feedback on them." It's a drop-in event and will feature informational displays on the design, created by engineering consultants, Jp2g. Municipal staff and Jp2g representatives will also be on hand to answer any questions. The design is costing Mississippi Mills $175,000 and was included in the 2019 budget. An Aug. 24, 2017 report by former planner Steve Stirling outlined a total cost for the project of nearly $20 million, but Bourgon said that figure will change

as it was based on plans prepared by Parsons Engineering Limited at the time. "These numbers would no longer be valid as council has directed many changes to be incorporated into the final design in order to reduce costs," he explained. "The detailed design also does not include any roadway changes on Bridge Street or any works south of Bridge Street which were contemplated in 2017. Once the detailed design progresses further after the public information centre, our engineering consultant will redo the estimates at that time."

ship (firefighters) about our idea last Thursday (April 4)." The wrap will consist of a number of past and present images from around the municipality, including the town hall, former mills, police and fire services, etc. "I am super excited about it," Joy exclaimed. "This is not just about the fire department ... we are promoting Carleton Place." The wrap will be left on the truck for a minimum period of one year. It will not affect the body or paint of the $500,000 vehicle. The OWFC is in the process of reviewing quotes for the project. The successful bidder will be
known within the next two weeks. "We are hoping to have the wrap on the truck by early June," Joy said. "It takes about two days to complete, and the work will be done at the fire hall." There are no safety concerns while the pumper is being wrapped. The OWFC has a fleet of trucks ... vehicles are routinely out of service for maintenance. Businesses, individuals, organizations or even schools interested in sponsoring the truck wrapping initiative should email Joy at djoy@carletonplace.ca. Although Carleton Place 200 activities are taking place all year long, the Come Home to Carleton Place week of celebration
runs July 26 to Aug. 4. The following events are planned: Carleton Place Trivia Night at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena), July 26; Celebration Concert at Riverside Park, July 27; The Great Carleton Place Amazing Race at the Market Square Pavilion, July 28; Monster Bingo at the arena, July 30; Celebration Parade on Bridge Street, Aug. 1; Classic Car Parade and Street Dance on Mill Street, Aug. 2; Photo Booth at Bridge St. Summer Fest, Aug. 3; and Picnic in the Park at Riverside Park, Aug. 4. "We will be at many of these events," Joy said. The OWFC has guarded the people of Carleton Place for 144 years, since 1875.

HILLIER MEETS WITH LOCAL GROUP Continued from page 3
running within one year from April 1. Goodings stressed: "This does not make Autism Ontario obsolete. Autism Ontario is still supporting families, directing them to service providers, helping them find qualified service providers." All children who currently have an Ontario Autism Program Behaviour Plan will continue to receive the services outlined in the plan until its end date. Families will then be able to renew it for six months at its current level of intensity. LCP wants to continue offering services. "As we are currently still funded, we are continuing within our existing model, but we are planning for the future ... purchased services," Goodings said. "When families get the Childhood Budget, they can purchase services at LCP." This includes families in
THE ISSUE: CHANGES TO THE ONTARIO AUTISM PROGRAM LOCAL IMPACT: THE MODIFICATIONS, INCLUDING A NEW FUNDING MODEL, WILL IMPACT A FEW HUNDRED CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN LANARK, LEEDS AND GRENVILLE Leeds and Grenville. LCP also covers those counties. The great thing about LCP, "we do have in-house speech and language services and respite services, and we do have the opportunity for occupational therapy consultation," Goodings explained. Heather Ballinger is the co-director at LCP. "We want to help families navi-
gate right now," she said. "When they do get the Childhood Budget, we want to help them find the best options for their children." Hillier speaks "Up until a short while ago I was a PC member of caucus, representing Lanark-FrontenacKingston," Hillier began, and "now I have some greater liberties." He wanted parents to know his office is always available to lend assistance, answering questions, etc. "There were a lot of questions asked tonight, and not everything can be answered with certainty," the MPP said. "We know the government's autism policy was announced ... changes were made ... do not be surprised if there are more changes." With questions around the budget for autism services, Hillier noted, Peter Weltman, the province's financial accountability officer, "began a study, an investigation into the policy announced."
"His office has great latitude in what it can investigate, what it can recommend," he said. Hillier recently chatted with Weltman, but he is not sure when his investigation will be complete. Initially, the Ontario Autism Program had a budget of $321 million; however, MacLeod recently announced the redesigned initiative would cost at least $600 million a year. "It is very shifting ... not very solid political ground," Hillier told parents. He encouraged them to continue to advocate and speak out, "which is what makes change happen." The MPP added, the province's autism policy "was announced for its simplicity of message, simplicity of communication ... there was not a lot of thought to the mechanics or application." "It was more of a communications exercise than a public policy exercise, and I am sure there are many people at the ministry still scratching their heads, trying to respond to the questions from around the province," Hillier continued. "Hopefully, we get
it correct or close to being correct." Parents wanted to know, if they had statements for MacLeod, would Hillier be about to get those to her. "Absolutely," he responded. "I am not part of the caucus, but I have known Lisa for a long time, and we still talk, have each other's cellphone number." "She has been under incredible pressure," Goodings commented. "Yes, but rightly so," Hillier said. "Autism has become a political subject instead of just a public policy, which is unfortunate." All parties are guilty, he added. Other jurisdictions in Canada, as well as the United States, "do not see this animosity ... seem to be able to get along with parents of autistic children."
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
On Feb. 6, Lisa MacLeod, the minister of children, community and social services, unveiled the extensive changes to the Ontario Autism Program. Parents across the province fear the changes will leave them facing massive bills for intensive treatment.

CARLETON PLACE FORESTRY COMMITTEE PLANTING ROOTS FOR 12 YEARS TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The Urban Forest/River Corridor Advisory Committee (UFRCAC) has been a standing committee of Carleton Place council for 12 years. Committee chair Jim McCready offered an update to council, the first in several years, during the April 9 committee of the whole meeting. The UFRCAC, consisting of nine volunteers, including a council liaison, focuses on green infrastructure and river issues, providing recommendations to the
municipality. The group works closely with staff in the recreation and culture, planning and public works departments. Besides McCready, the other members are as follows: Gerry Andrews, Andy Kerr Wilson, Janet McGinnis, Dale Moulton, Coun. Toby Randell, Mark Smith, Joanne Woodhouse and Rod Wood-Planner. Accomplishments The accomplishments of the UFRCAC are many, including the development of a tree planting program for homeowners, which is still running strong today. "We were very instru-
mental in getting the natural environment district in the town's Official Plan," McCready advised. Too, the UFRCAC works very closely with the municipality's planning and building department, "seeing all environmental impact statements coming in from developers, looking them over and making key recommendations," the chair said. The group also takes a close look at tree preservation plans. The goal: prevent damage to public trees caused by development See GOAL, page 17

work on, near or crossing town property. "We look at their landscape plans, making sure they have enough trees," McCready added. The hackberry is Carleton Place's official tree. There are more than 700 hackberry trees in the municipality. The stand is very unique, according to experts. "It is the most northerly stand in North America, and it is very crucial for us to collect the seed," McCready noted. Seeds from the local hackberry trees are sent to Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville. The UFRCAC works alongside the recreation and public works departments. Each time a tree is removed on town property it must be replaced. Public works director Dave Young and I have had this agreement for years," McCready said. The committee advises staff
on what trees need to be removed from trails within the town's limits, and members assess the health of the trees lining Bridge Street. To deal with the highly destructive Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) beetle, the town implemented an action plan provided by the UFRCAC. Metallic green is the colour of the EAB beetle. An exotic bug, adults nibble on ash foliage, causing little damage. However, larvae feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the flow of nutrients as they ascend the trunk. In the end, the trees die. "An injection program sees a number of trees given TreeAzin each year," McCready noted. Carleton Place is a member of the Regional Forest Health Network - a network of some 20 organizations and agencies spanning eastern Ontario, western Quebec and northern New York state - rallying partners in a co-ordinated and col-
laborative response to forest threats of various kinds. Source water protection is a key priority of the UFRCAC. "We must protect our drinking water," McCready stressed. The town's bylaw officers often call on UFRCAC members for guidance regarding complaints. Does a tree need to be trimmed or removed? The UFRCAC helped secure Sonnenburg Woods, located at 13 Bates Dr. It is a 20-acre old growth forest boasting a natural, nonmaintained trail. The forest is named after the late Ed Sonnenburg, former deputy mayor of Carleton Place. While in office, he passed away from pancreatic cancer in August 2014. Challenges As mentioned above, a key priority of the UFRCAC is the protection of the municipality's drinking water. It also presents the group with a challenge. "We must prevent the loss of green infrastructure in town,"
McCready said. "We cannot lose any more trees ... we need to enhance the canopy, and we are trying to do this through developments." The UFRCAC continues to deal with invasive species such as the EAB. The next threat: Oak wilt. It is a fungal disease affecting oak trees caused by the fungus Bretziella fagacearum. Other challenges: ensuring accuracy of and adherence to environment impact statements, protecting parkland during development and education. "There is still a lot of work to do," McCready said. Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond thanked McCready and the other UFRCAC members for their dedication and efforts. Earlier this year, council approved a new tree canopy policy for Carleton Place, resulting in the protection and enhancement of the local tree canopies and natural vegetation.

PAVING WAY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES WORTHY GOAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MORE INTERSTED IN CARBON TAX THAN PROMOTING ELECTRIC VEHICLES, WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE visit to the British capital. He was impressed to see a Tesla dealership - the first such business he had ever encountered - in the affluent west London district of Chiswick. Tesla Inc. based in Palo Alto, California near San Francisco is an automotive and energy company that manufactures electric cars and solar panels. In early April Tesla's stock took a hit because they did not deliver as many cars as anticipated during the previous quarter. The downturn has some experts predicting the firm's demise. Admittedly buying a Tesla is probably beyond the reach of most people which is just one reason
JEFF MAGUIRE Column
You have only to travel to London, England to see that electric vehicles are beginning to make their presence felt in one of the world's major cities. Charging stations are continuing to pop up around the city centre and although activists in the United Kingdom are, quite rightly, pushing for an even greater emphasis on electricity to power motor vehicles, strides are clearly being made. Well, they are in London anyway! My son Craig accompanied me on my most recent
why electric vehicles have yet to make a major impact on transportation in the developed world and especially on this continent. True, the world's major motor vehicle manufacturers are all investing in this growing market and eventually that will drive down the price of electric vehicles, thus reducing our heavy dependence on fossil fuels to power vehicles. But this process needs to be speeded up. Big government should be putting more emphasis on clearing the path for this important technology via tax breaks and incentives! In Canada electric vehicles are available and some Canadians are show-
ing interest in this important transportation trend. However the growth of this particular technology is moving very slowly in this country. Most people I've talked to are interested in electric cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). But they are taking a cautious approach. The thinking of those I have conversed with is that electric vehicles are going to continue to grow in number, that the technology will continue to improve and, eventually, electric vehicles will become more affordable. A "wait and see approach" rather than jumping in blindly and suffering the consequences. What consequences some will ask? Well, for one thing outside of your own home where would you charge
the battery in your electric vehicle today? In our community I only know of one charging station. That was installed as a courtesy to customers of a local bank branch. I pass the location frequently and I have yet to see anyone charging their vehicle there. A coincidence perhaps? Well, maybe, but I know a lot of people and I don't know anyone here who owns a hybrid vehicle, let alone a fully electric model. Yet the number of large, gasoline powered vehicles in our region appears to be growing rapidly. When I park my sedan at a supermarket or department store I invariably return to find an extended cab pickup truck on one side and a van or SUV on the other. Big gas guzzling vehicles outnumber smaller, fuel efficient models at least 10-1 I'm sure. Little wonder when the continent's biggest motor vehicle manufacturers
are abandoning cars (sedans) in favour of pick-up trucks, SUVs and family vans. They're responding to demand, so it's pretty hard to blame them. Meanwhile our current federal government is more focused on their highly unpopular carbon tax, which is supposedly aimed at reducing harmful fossil fuel emissions, than they are about promoting electric vehicles.

ARTS CARLETON PLACE HOST SPRING FINE ART SHOW, SALE MAY 4-5 Arts Carleton Place will hold its first ever juried exhibition and sale May 4 and 5 at the Carleton Place Canoe Club. The event, which runs 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on both days, will host 34 local artists carefully selected to bring quality fine arts and high-end crafts to Carleton Place and area residents. The artists have been working very hard to prepare for this exhibition and to bring you their best - they will bring fine art paintings, photography, fused glass, jewelry, photography and
pottery. Arts Carleton Place (ACP) is a not-for-profit association representing more than 75 members in all disciplines of the arts, including visual art, dance, multimedia, music, poetry and theatre. ACP was officially launched the fall of 2005: its mandate is to recognize, celebrate and promote the unique artistic activities in the area. It also raises awareness of the arts, develops partnerships within the community to develop the area's artistic capacity to its full potential.
To this end, the association has pledged to build on the power of the arts to invigorate the community, while contributing to the economic development of the town. ACP has initiated the annual student bursary program that remains a core commitment of the organization. The program is supported by donations and proceeds from its two annual art shows. It offers a $1,000 bursary to each of Carleton Place High School and Notre Dame Catholic High School - the schools decide on how much and to
whom the money will be awarded. In addition, ACP plans to play an active role in the 200th Carleton Place 2019 Anniversary celebrations; ACP is contributing to the festivities by organizing a special Spring Fine Art Show. For more information on participating artists and ACP, visit www.artscarletonplace.com. The Carleton Place Canoe Club is located at 179 John Street. Submitted by Suzanne Deschenes, interim president, Arts Carleton Place.

PEAK SEASON ARRIVES FOR MAPLE PRODUCERS DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com It is their Christmas early April - for the good folks at Fulton's Pancake House and Sugar Bush, and this year is extra special. It is called 50 Flipping Years. The farm just west of Pakenham is celebrating a half century in business. "I took over from my parents in 1980, and now my son Scott - who's in the sugar camp right now - is probably taking over," said
Shirley Fulton-Deugo. "It's the people that I love. I don't even work on these busy weekends. I just walk around handing out maple popcorn, talking to people from the U.S., Sweden, Australia, and lots of kids from the city." She said some Ottawa families consider Fulton's their farm. Long gone are the days when kids could go to their grandparents' farm on the weekends or during summer. Few have See 50, page 23

a connection to a real farm. Fulton's, with animals and trails and big machines for making maple, offers plenty of new experiences. "I just love seeing them walk up," Fulton-Deugo said, pointing toward the road. "Whole families like that, the kaleidoscope of colours on their snowsuits. "Their family meets our family because I have two daughters working today, a son, six grandchildren." She said on a day such as this one, a warm and sunny April 6, Fulton's will flip between 1,000 or 2,000 pancakes. Along with Fulton's (399 Sugar Bush Road), the area is fortunate to have several more maple farms, including Fortune Farms (2442 Wolfgrove Road, Almonte), Springdale Maple Farm (1699 Galbraith Road, Clayton), and Thompsontown Maple Products (780 Black Rock Lane, Clayton).

OPINION
AUDREY'S QUICK THINKING PAID DIVIDENDS FOR MOTHER MARY COOK RECALLS SISTER'S CRAFTY WORK ON PUFFED WHEAT BAG MARY COOK Column
It was a warm Saturday afternoon, and Audrey and I were setting out for Briscoe's General Store, lugging the little wagon Father had got in a trade at Thacker's Garage. We had a list of things Mother needed, and there would be too much to carry home without the wagon. Even though it was warm, my sister had on a jacket, and for a very good reason. Tucked in the sleeve of her coat was a long knitting needle which would be put to good use when we got to the store. For a treat, Mother said Audrey could pick up sev-
en maple cookies, which were my favourite, and were in a tilted box right near the front door. You could smell them as soon as you walked in. So for supper that night, each of us would have one cookie to go with the little fruit nappie of preserved raspberries. Of course, we had no money. Everything would be put on Mother's bill. There would be the pound of green tea, measured out in a brown paper bag, and tied with string. A can of Gillett's lye for the batch of homemade soap Mother was planning on making, a spool of white thread, and the smallest tin of baking powder to tie us over until the Watkins man came with his suitcases of goods. On the list was a bag of
puffed wheat. As far as I was concerned, we could easily do without it. I never liked the taste of it, and it always stuck to the roof of my mouth. I don't think the rest of the family thought much of it either but it was also bought for a very special reason. The puffed wheat came in a large bag with a paper mesh strip down the front. Now, you couldn't see through the mesh, and I could never figure out why it was there. And inside every bag was a piece of china! Imagine! Real china! Over time we had collected a fair amount of the dishes, and it was used when we had company. Unfortunately, we had piles of saucers, and about three cups. The plates were so scarce, only company got them when we had visitors who stayed for a meal. Of course, you couldn't see inside the bag, so you had no
idea what piece of china was inside. My sister Audrey - a smart one she was - was determined not one more saucer was coming into our house! The only thing left on our list was the puffed wheat. It was my job to stay at the counter and talk to Mr. Briscoe. I could see Audrey out of the corner of my eye. She had stooped down by the low shelf where the puffed wheat was stacked, took the knitting needle out of the sleeve of her jacket, and began stabbing it into the strip of mesh down the front of the package. Her purpose was to bypass anything that felt like a saucer and try to find a cup or a bigger plate. Finally, she hit pay-dirt! She took the bag over to the counter, Mr. Briscoe wrote the price on Mother's bill, and we loaded the little
wagon and headed for home. Usually, Mother wouldn't let us open the puffed wheat bag until it was needed, but Audrey said she had a big surprise for Mother. And there, halfway down in the bag was a cup! Mother didn't ask Audrey how she knew there was a cup inside, and I certainly wasn't going to be the one to tell her. Audrey took off her jacket, took out the knitting needle and put it back in the sewing basket by the Singer sewing machine. Boy that sister of mine sure was a smart one. I knew, without a doubt, that it
wouldn't be long until we had a cup for every saucer stacked in the back-to-thewall cupboard - and maybe a couple of plates to go with them! Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of John Alfred Sims, 87, of Oxford Mills on April 11, 2019 peacefully, at home in his favorite chair. Predeceased by his eldest son David, John leaves his loving wife of nearly 65 years, “Marnie” Marianne (Nixon) and adoring children Ian (Akie lchiryu), Jennifer (Peter Down) and Alison (David VanZyl), grandchildren Hayley and Michael Down, Mark, Johnathon and Erin VanZyl and Kaito Hori - Sims, three great grandchildren, nieces and a nephew in the UK and Canada. Born in London England, John excelled in both his RAF flight training in the 50’s and his MBA program, SFU, 1974. As an engaging conversationalist who could also find humour in any situation, he was a natural diplomat. Following four years of RAF, and immigrating to Canada he served as such from 1967 1992 taking postings in six overseas missions in trade and consular affairs. He enjoyed a year’s secondment to white colour crime, RCMP, and the 1984 - 5 NDC course in Kingston ON during his and Marnie’s distinguished diplomatic career. John could do anything; flying upside down under the Firth - of Forth bridge, restoring a “54 MGTC, building ( and flying ) his Long EZ, a boat in the basement, an expansive addition on to the home, and several classic and lasting furniture pieces. He once replaced a broken fan belt with Marnie’s stocking, and in the jungle in Ceylon “Macgyvered” a breaker in a distributor of a VW bus with a stick and some tin-foil. A consummate gentleman, he was equally at ease in his workshop, with his nose in a book or sleeves rolled up with the likes of Jean Chretien. His greatest joy was his home life and greatest regrets not accepting a two-dayold-chick flying gig in Australia, and not have lived to 102- in order to collect all his pension. “You earned your wings dad. Fly.” There will be an open reception at the residence, Thursday, April 25, 3-5 pm to celebrate a life exceptionally well lived. In lieu of flowers, please take a loved one out and make memories.

Dave and his twin brother Gilmour (Gib) were a package that could never be separated so this is an especially profound loss for Gib.

He welcomed each new customer (soon to become friend) and enjoyed that every job was unique & challenging. The rewards from a job well done were many: wonderful experiences, many laughs, old stories to tell, new stories to share and the special satisfaction that comes from looking back at what a team of professionals had just accomplished. May he rest in peace now that his final building move is over. It also must be noted that Dave was a dedicated volunteer member (retired Captain) of the Almonte Fire Department for 25+ years, during which time he contributed much to the department as well as his beloved Almonte community.

How splendid it would be, If you were here to share it with your family. But God had other celebrations in mind, For you today. God thought they were important, So He took you away.

In that space that feels so empty, That space that you still share. The tears will flow, the heart will ache, In wishing you were here.

Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Forever in our hearts… Deb, Doug and Erin

MUNICIPALITY HOSTS ANNUAL VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION NIGHT Continued from page 4
dawaska Land Trust project and recently finished 40 maternity bat houses for the Canadian Wildlife Federation. "We stand shoulder to shoulder on projects like that," he explained, " ... by so doing we build a sense of camaraderie amongst us. We know we always have somebody we can call on when we're feeling the need to talk to someone. Men don't do this very well. Women do it automatically. We're learning to catch up." For more information about Naismith Men's Shed, visit www.naismithmensshed.ca. Karen Milligan, chair of the Mills Community Support board, indicated the organization was happy to partner on the volunteer appreciation event "because we also believe volunteers play a critical role in this community." For the Mills, volunteers are essential, from helping manage foot care clinics, organizing supper socials, planning the North Lanark Seniors' Expo to being a Meals on Wheels or medical transportation driver. But Milligan said a volunteer doesn't have to be someone who dedicates time to an organization, "but checks on a neighbour or helps shovel a driveway or just shares a meal with a friend or a lonely individual." "That is also a way to give of your time and energy that makes this community better," she said.
Support for the Hub The evening was capped off with the presentation of a $5,000 donation from the Almonte Civitan Club to the Hub's building project. Civitan member Alice Puddington noted the club, currently 108 members strong, gives $65,000 in cash donations and an equal amount each year in goods and services. Funds are raised through hall rentals, sale of cook books, lotteries and raffles. "If you need it, we can do it," she remarked. "We're all about service. That's what Civitan is."
Ashley Kulp/Metroland TOP: The annual Mississippi Mills Volunteer Appreciation Night was held at the Almonte Civitan Club April 11. The municipality partners with local organizations to offer the evening, which honours the hundreds of volunteers who give of their time in the community. Above left: Mississippi Mills Mayor Christa Lowry thanks volunteers for their service. Above left: John Peters with Naismith Men's Shed speaks about his organization. Almonte Community Co-ordinators are nearing the tail end of a remodel of the Hub's location at 118 Mill Street. The Hub's recent play, The Phantom of the Hubera, capped off a successful year of fundraising, noted Almonte Community Co-ordinators' Janet Duncan. "The renewed and revitalized Hub is an elegant space," she said. "Three skylights bring natural light into the space, there is a dramatic new mezzanine and the retail area has been redesigned to allow flexible use as needs change and they always do
at the Hub." Behind the scenes, heating and electrical systems have been upgraded, there's a new accessible washroom, insulated roof and basement flooring, as well as renewed plumbing, improved storage, additional parking, etc. "Thanks to all the people who came forward to support the Hub, plus we gave $46,400 back to the community in 2018," Duncan stated. "Congratulations to our very hardworking volunteers and friends and as we always say at the Hub, yes we can."

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

AGH EXTENDS OSTEOARTHRITIS PILOT PROGRAM When Jane Young heard about a new program to help deal with her knee pain, she was very happy. When she found out the program was being offered right in Almonte - just a block from her home - she was ecstatic. "It's a marvellous program and the physiotherapists at Almonte General Hospital are amazing," said Young. "I can't say enough about the program. Most of all, it's bought me some time and eased my pain." Almost 40 per cent of patients with osteoarthritis referred for possible surgery are either not yet ready or not medically appropriate for a joint replacement. Now they have another option, thanks to a provincial pilot project at Almonte General Hospital (AGH). The physiotherapy team offers a new non-surgical management and treatment option for osteoarthritic hip and knee joints. The Good Life with OsteoArthritis from Denmark (GLA:D) program supports patients through an eight-week treatment plan that includes exercise and education sessions. Clients are referred to AGH Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre by advanced practice physiotherapists at the Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) Total Joint Assessment Clinic. They participate in two education sessions and 12 neuromuscular exercise sessions. Clients must meet specific criteria, including a commitment to participate in the classes over the time period. To date, 30 clients have participated in the pilot program. "The feedback has been excellent, and we are seeing exciting results in both significantly increased mobility and decreased pain," said physiotherapy director Patti Morton. "Clients come to us from throughout the region including Almonte, Carleton Place, Arnprior and Carp. They are reporting that the program is making a difference in their lives and are very pleased to receive the support and education close to home." The pilot program has been so successful that it has been extended another year. AGH Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre has been contracted to serve another 60 clients through to the end of March 2020. For further information on accessing this free program at Almonte General Hospital, please call 613-256-1965. Submitted by Jane Adams, communications lead, Almonte General Hospital
