At this time, areas of Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and Beckwith are experiencing flooding, owing to heavy rain and the usual spring melt. The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) recently issued a flood warning for the Mississippi Valley watershed. Water levels in rivers and lakes are higher than normal. They are expected to peak this week, April 22-26. County Road 29 just south of Pakenham was flooded on April 15 and April 19, forcing traffic to be redirected by way of Kinburn Side and Blakeney roads. Mississippi Mills Mayor Christa Lowry told the Canadian Gazette, the flooding at the railway underpass was the result of lots of water coming down the See WATER, page 4

WATER LEVELS TO KEEP RISING THIS WEEK Continued from page 3
neighbouring mountain. "However, everyone thinks it is because of the river," she said. The road runs parallel to the Mississippi River. The waterway is to blame for flooding at the nearby Riverbend Park, which is owned and operated by the Hollinger Family. RV trailers and permanent structures are resting in a few feet of water. "Water levels will continue to rise over the next few days," Lowry said. Finding it fascinating, "we get drawn to the water ... residents need to be aware and keep children close by," she added. Tiffany MacLaren is Mississippi Mills' community economic and cultural co-ordinator, and according to the mayor, "she is the
municipality's emergency communications person, and she is right on top of getting information out to residents." At the moment, "there is a lot of communication between myself and others," Lowry stated. As of April 22, both Highway 29 south of Pakenham and the bridge on Ramsay Concession 7B are open. The bridge on Pakenham Concession 9 North remains closed due to flooding. "Residents can stay informed by visiting the Mississippi Mills Facebook page or www.mississippimills.ca (news and public notices section)," Lowry advised. "They can also visit the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority website (mvc.on.ca). The mayor stressed, residents living in flood af-

Above: On Easter Sunday, the rapids at Blakeney Park roar. fected areas should only drink bottled water, as wells can become contaminated. "When flood waters have receded, they should have their well tested before consumption," Lowry
continued. She also advised people to move their vehicle to a safe place, ensuring they can get out if required, and have alternate arrangements made for accommodation.
In case of emergency, call the Mississippi Mills Public Works emergency number at 613-256-3167. Anyone needing assistance or route information can also contact the Lanark County roads department at 613-267-1353 or 1-888-9526275 (toll free), or roads@lanarkcounty.ca. "Do not take a risk!" Lowry stressed. At the end of Lake Avenue West in Carleton Place, Riverside Park on the Mississippi River is flooded. Across the road is the Bodnar property. It, too, is experiencing flooding. The property is home to the proposed Bodnar subdivision, a project of Cavanagh Developments. The subdivision proposes 582 units, a mix of residential uses. "Staff feel they have not seen the water level this high since maybe the ice
storm," Mayor Doug Black told this newspaper. "They are monitoring regularly." Using photos and video, Carleton Place Coun. Toby Randell took to social media on Good Friday, April 19, to illustrate the dangers along the waterway. "The water is high and moving extremely fast at the dam in Carleton Place," he wrote on Facebook, before cautioning residents to be safe when near the river and lake. People living along the Mississippi River should keep a close watch on water levels, taking necessary precautions to protect their property. On Easter Sunday, the rapids at Blakeney Park were roaring. Flooding has also affected parts of the 9th Line in Beckwith. Caution is advised.

To our customers and friends …
YOUR COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP Celebrating our 25th 30th Year serving Almonte and area
We write this in the hope of clarifying and putting to rest some rumors that may be heard in and about our town of Almonte. Coady’s Car Care (Almonte) Ltd is NOT closing … Doug is NOT retiring … However, the building which we have been renting and have had our place of business for 31 years, is presently “For Sale by Auction”. We will admit that this is an unexpected occurrence and has taken us by surprise! If the owner (of the building) is not accepting of offers made and therefore does not sell, Coady’s Car Care and our excellent staff will remain and will continue to serve our customers at 30 Mill Street for the foreseeable future. If the building does sell, we hope that we will be able to make arrangements under the new ownership to continue in our same place. While the future at this time is uncertain, we will hope for the same good business relationship with the new owner(s) that we have always known in the past. We will meet the challenges ahead, as they arise.

For the time being, it is business as usual! Spring has sprung … and with it comes a busy time of year … we look forward to your continued and valued patronage. Sincerely,

LIBRARIES, PUBLIC HEALTH LATEST TO FEEL PREMIER'S WRATH After making broad changes to education, public health and libraries seem to be the next services on Premier Doug Ford's chopping block. In his first provincial budget, released April 11, $200 million in cuts are coming to public health and both the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) and Ontario Library Service - North (OLS-North) budgets' are shrinking by 50 per cent or more. The premier has been very vocal about his desire to reduce the number of public health units from 35 to 10 and consolidate the Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) with a central agency. The 100 per cent cost sharing between the province and local municipalities will reduce to 75 or 60 per cent. This funding will greatly impact how these organizations, including our own Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, do their jobs; roles that include disease prevention, sexual health programs, immunization monitoring and water quality testing. It's a bit of a dangerous move, considering cuts to services like these could lead to more infectious diseases and outbreaks. SARS and Walkerton were not that long ago, but how quickly some forget. In the case of libraries, it's no surprise Ford is targeting them. As a Toronto city councillor in 2011, he endorsed slashing the city's library budget by $4 million and recommended closing them in his own community. While Ford may not value libraries, it's clear they are an essential service to communities, particularly rural municipalities like ours. They are a place to research, meet, reflect, learn and play. A change.org petition has already logged more than 10,000 signatures in support of retaining funding to the services. But the effects of the cuts are already taking shape as over the Easter holiday weekend, the Ontario InterLibrary Loan Service was cancelled. This is a vital program that allows members to borrow between libraries, giving them broader access to materials. This is just the tip of the iceberg. SOLS and OLSNorth also provide important training to library staff that's in jeopardy. But don't worry, soon you'll be able to have a beer in the park. How can these slashes to education, public health and our libraries be cast aside in favour of expanding alcohol sales, allowing for tailgating parties and drinking in public parks. Is the premier really placing an apparent obsession with alcohol over the education of our children and the safety of us all? It certainly seems that way.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER URGES OTHERS TO SIGN PETITION AGAINST LIBRARY CUTS DEAR EDITOR: By now, no doubt, you've heard about the cuts to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Tuesday's provincial budget, which resulted in a 50 per cent cut to the two agencies (Southern Ontario Library Service and its northern Ontario counterpart) that provide interlibrary loan services and training of public library staff across the province, among other things. I don't know about you but I have two interlibrary loan books on my desk right now, that are enabling me to prepare a presentation to the Horticultural Society and research eastern Ontario history in order to write a period TV series. I belong to a book club that will no longer be able to afford to enjoy reading pretty well whatever book our interests take us to. All public library collections are at least partially funded by our public mon-
ey - through that base funding the Minister says he's protecting - the funding that hasn't changed since 1995. These collections are a shared public resource that must continue to be shared across the province in order to achieve any kind of efficiency across the system. Here is a petition that has some traction: www.change.org/p/dougford-stop-the-cuts-to-thesouthern-ontario-libraryservice-and-ontario-library-servicenorth-0c4e3208-183546ae-91b7-1f3898603f6e.

LOCAL RESIDENT DISTURBED BY BILL C-85 DEAR EDITOR: This is an open letter to the Government of Canada and the Canadian Senate. I am very concerned that the House of Commons and the Senate are pushing several bills through with little or no debate and no consultation with the people of Canada. I wish to bring to your at-
tention to some disturbing facts re: Bill C-85. An act to amend the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act and to make related amendments to other acts. I have searched for reference material on this Bill to learn its contents, what changes are being made and how it will affect the Canadian people. After an exhaustive search with near zero results, I must come to the conclusion that the Government of Canada does not wish Canadians to know the contents and amendments pertaining to this piece of legislation. It seems the government is shrouding this bill under pages and pages of legalese. Is the government trying to hide something? What about the transparency owed and required from our government to the Canadian people? May I remind you, your job is to represent the people of Canada and to have their best interests at the forefront.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS BUDGET PASSES WITH 2.5 PER CENT TAX INCREASE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Mississippi Mills council made some last minute changes to the 2019 budget before they gave it final approval April 16. Both the operating and capital budgets amount to a little over $22 million with roads and public works making up the biggest portion on the capital side at $6,184,905. It represents a 2.5 per cent tax increase for residents. In treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh's report to council, she strongly encouraged that the budget be passed that evening. "In my opinion, there is nothing significant that should prevent a further delay in passing the bud-
gets. If there is an item that council wishes to discuss further, the budgets should be passed and that item can be amended later," she stated. Upon approval of the budget, Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille expressed his dismay on how long the process had taken. He pledged to have the 2020 budget passed by February. "The budget's really late this year and it was given to council before Christmas," he stated. "All of this stuff people are picking about should have been done months ago." Whitmarsh indicated the 2020 budgets will begin to be drafted in July. She said delays in passing the budget equates to lost reve-
nue on the water and sewer rate bylaw and prevents the tax rate and waste management bylaws from being passed as well. Capital projects in the 2019 budget include paving 1.2 kilometres of roads in the municipality at nearly $2 million, as well as gravel upgrades in Ramsay and Pakenham to the tune of $310,500. The Shaw Bridge's rehabilitation will also be tackled for $269,000. Others are the Victoria Street infrastructure and resurfacing project, dasher board replacement at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham, as well as almost $600,000 in enhancements for Mill Run and Riverfront parks. Coun. John Dalgity asked for the $40,000 in the
budget to repave the basketball court at Gemmill Park instead be directed to a potential crosswalk for Paterson Street. Director of roads and public works, Guy Bourgon, said he wasn't sure where on Paterson Street council was proposed a crosswalk, "but the public works committee has no issue in looking into it." Bourgon estimates the design, sidewalk modifications and installation of the crosswalk would cost between $32,000 and $33,000. "We are moving money from one department to another to fund another project. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, but that's what we're doing," cautioned Mayor Christa
Lowry. Coun. Cynthia Guerard also questioned the cost estimate Bourgon included for upgrades to the Ramsay storage building. "There's $46,500 to pave the floor, put in steel shelving and finish off the back wall. I question whether there's enough in the budget," she stated, adding she had obtained an estimate for an asphalt garage floor, which came in at $75,000. Guerard also wanted this matter referred to the public works committee for review. Bourgon stressed that as much work as possible was being done by internal staff to keep costs down. "I think we have more than enough funds to do the work we want to undertake this year and we want to get it done this year if at all possible," he said, pointing out the municipality would be using concrete for the flooring. Guerard wasn't sure the municipality had the expertise to take on the up-
grades. "It seems like an awfully small amount ..." she said. Lowry noted Bourgon had answered Guerard's question. "This is how the director is managing his department. I think we want to be careful about questioning his expertise," Lowry said. Coun. Jan Maydan proposed adding an extra day of yard waste pickup for Almonte, which is projected to cost approximately $10,000. She had received requests from seniors and avid gardeners who don't have large trucks to transport the waste. "People already receive two free dump passes in the mail for spring and fall pickup. I don't think we need anymore," commented Minnille. "I think we're well served in this community with what we have." Bringing up the issue of organic waste as well, Coun. Bev Holmes suggested this could be another matter for the public works committee to explore.

dum said, but four major areas also need to be addressed - home heating/ building heating, driving, air travel and eating meat. "These are the four largest contributors of greenhouse gases in Ontario," she stated. "There's lots of things locally our politicians could be doing to help us with all of these and to mitigate their effects." She suggested talks with local beef producers on how
to raise beef without contributing greenhouse gases is necessary. A concerted push toward public transportation is also needed. "We can be doing an awful lot more than we have locally to be informing people of what good choices are, that will save them money, reduce our impact on greenhouse gases and climate change and reduce harm in the long run," she pointed out. Brandum claimed there's a link between ex-
haust from vehicles and the development of asthma in children. She said more can be done to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles. "Why are we defending the gasoline engines when it's making our kids sick?" Appleton resident Robert Cretien, a retired environmental scientist, wants to see the County of Lanark take the lead on a climate change plan that could roll out to local municipalities, including Mississippi Mills.
"I understand how serious the situation is and really what's drawn me to action is the political nonsense that's fighting the carbon tax," he said. "We need that. It's a proven took to fight climate change." Cretien said he's concerned about the future for his three children. "I want a world for them. They are deferring having children because they are uncertain. It's scary for them and I don't like that," he stated. "I want my gener-
ation to step up." There are also worries over the milder winters and spring flooding. "We're dealing with that (flooding) right now in Lanark County," Brandum said. "A number of roads have flooded that are not passable. I'm not saying it never happened before, but under climate change, it could happen a lot more." Resident Jean Macpherson agreed. She took part in the rally to support CALL's cause and "get the county
on side to raise local awareness." In the near future, CALL hopes to co-ordinate more rallies throughout the county, and are looking to form a network of organizations and people in Lanark County and Smiths Falls to educate the public. Look for CALL - Citizens Call for Climate Action in Lanark County and Smiths Falls on Facebook. "We have to recognize that business as usual is not working," Brandum said.

The ball got rolling April 10 on what will arguably be the biggest decision Lanark County council will face this term - the future of Lanark Lodge in Perth. The lodge's interim director, Jennie Bingley, presented the community services committee with the results of a feasibility study done on the lodge by Dredge Leahy Architects Inc. The study was necessary as the lodge does not meet the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's 2015 Long-Term Care Home Design Manual, and must come into accordance with it by 2025. "This is more of a nuts and bolts exercise," Bingley commented. "It's our very first, very important step. It's long overdue and I wish it would have been completed years ago." Carried out from No-
vember 2018 to March 2019, the firm was tasked with performing a facility review on the 163-bed long-term care home, as well as provide estimated costs for renovations or a new facility. Bingley said three options were explored - a redevelopment of the existing facility, a partial redevelopment and expansion, or a completely new build. "The existing space cannot be renovated to meet the ministry's design standards," she explained, noting the costs would be too significant. The renovation and addition option has potential, but Dredge Leahy Architects Inc.'s recommended a new build "out in front of the new facility," Bingley said, at a cost of $73 to $76 million. "The existing facility would then be repurposed," she stated. "Staff definitely agree with the consultant's recommen-

NEWLY INDEPENDENT MPP RANDY HILLIER SPEAKS OUT DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com So, what happens now, Randy? After weeks twisting in the wind, when Randy Hillier was temporarily suspended from the Progressive Conservative caucus at Queen's Park, on March 15 came the word that the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP was now permanently no longer a Tory. This has led to several questions about what happens next to the rebel MPP who has been in office since 2007, having been re-elected three times since then. In an area that has been a conservative bastion, for the most part, federally and provincially for decades, having an independent MPP is uncharted territory. But Hillier, in a practical sense, the only real thing that has changed is his email address (RHillier@ola.org, as he can no longer use his PC caucus email.) "Nothing changes in a functional or practical sense," said Hillier,
during an interview at his Perth constituency office on Friday, April 12. Now that he is no longer in the P.C. caucus, he chuckled that being an independent is "not a little liberating. (It's) a whole lot liberating ... to once again have the ability to express the concerns (of my riding)." That's why he is quick to squelch the "false understanding" he has been hearing from his constituents that there is some sort of "diminishment" of his ability to represent them at Queen's Park because he is no longer in the Tory fold, or that "the riding will not be heard." As it is, "nobody in the P.C. caucus has a voice in decisionmaking." Firstly, Hillier and MP Scott Reid will not be splitting up their shared offices, after Hillier's expulsion. Reid, the Conservative MP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, shares constituency offices with Hillier in Carleton Place and Perth. While Hillier now sits as an Inde-
"(It's) not a little liberating. (It's) a whole lot liberating . to once again have the ability to express the concerns (of my riding)."
– Independent MPP Randy Hillier
pendent MPP, Reid noted that "we were never in the same party," to start with as the federal Conservatives are a separate party from the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. Reid has made his support of Hillier very public, and noted that Hillier was removed from caucus "not by his peers, but by the premier's office," as Hillier had butted heads with members of Premier Ford's staff. "They were certainly trying to get rid of him for a long time." Another question that constituents have had regards whether correspondence to the provincial government should now go to a neighbouring Progressive Conservative
MPP instead. We put this question to the office of Steve Clark, the MPP for LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. In an email reply dated Tuesday, April 9, Michael Jiggins, Clark's executive assistant, wrote that: "Mr. Hillier continues to serve as the Member of Provincial Parliament for LanarkFrontenac-Kingston. As such, constituents in his riding with inquiries or correspondence about the provincial government should continue to send them to his office."
THE FUTURE For Hillier, the next Ontario election will not be until 2022, barring the unforeseen. So, will he run
as an independent? Or take up the lead of his former political ally, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, who joined the Trillium Party of Ontario after he left the provincial Tories? Hillier won't say. "I've been approached by many parties," he said, though he would not be drawn on which ones, only to say that it was more than one party. "Just about every party has approached me," he added, though when Trillium or Maxime Bernier's People's Party were mentioned, he would not be drawn on the matter. "It's over three years to the next election," he said. "It's a long time. The political landscape is everchanging ... I have no interest in making a determination on what I may do in three years." And what about retiring in three years time? "I don't see why I wouldn't continue," he said, in 2022, "running for a different party, running as an independent."

THINGS GRANDCHILDREN SAY ARE WORTH RETAINING JEFF MAGUIRE SHARES A FEW PRICELESS STORIES JEFF MAGUIRE Column
I was at a Jr. A playoff hockey game one night recently and on the way to my seat I bumped into an old friend sitting in the crowd. He's a retired OPP officer, an outstanding guy and someone I always enjoy chatting with. As we exchanged pleasantries I asked how his wife and their adult daughter are doing. "Everyone is fine thanks," he replied. "Our daughter has blessed us with two grandchildren. "How about you Jeff," he asked. "Same with us - my wife and I are good and our daughter also has two children," I offered. "Aren't grandchildren the best," he stated, flashing a wide grin. I agreed and we spent a couple of minutes exchanging stories. Our daughter and her family live in nearby Ottawa. So we're back and forth regularly. The grandchildren are at such a wonderful age (five and two and a half) so this is a special time for all of us. My youngest sister Susan lives in Edmonton. She and her husband have a 16year-old son Alexander. During a March break visit Susan reminded me to "enjoy Lily and Max while they are this young. They'll
grow up so fast." On hearing our latest stories and especially the funny things the children say Susan suggested "write them down or you'll forget them. That's what I did when Alex was little." I'm now starting to put some of the things Lily and Max say into a notebook. The kids are priceless. They love to play hide and seek with Grandpa. It's a ritual when they visit our house. One recent weekend Lily was the "seeker" while Max and I hid. I quickly herded Max into the corner of a bedroom where I could open a door which would shield us from Lily's prying eyes. Trying to keep the little guy quiet is my biggest challenge. He gets so excited that he talks out loud and gives us away. Max has a very good vocabulary but at two and a half he's still learning the English language. At first Lily couldn't find us. Max, who hates standing still, blurted, "Grandpa. Move! I can't see my face." Translated that means "you are blocking my face and I can't see." Our grandson's favourite foods are tacos and strawberries. During their latest visit Kathy and I were standing in the kitchen chatting when Max darted into the room. "Do you guys have tacos," he asked. His grandmother told

him "the next time you come I promise I will make tacos Max." Lily is in junior kindergarten this year and she's very serious about school. One day I overheard the children playing school. Lily told her brother where to sit and what to do, all based on her own experiences in J-K. "It's nap time now," she said. "Max, lay down over here and stay quiet." Max lasted for about 10 seconds. I heard an exasperated Lily say, "Max, I'm the teacher and you're the student. It's sleep time. Get back here!" The school game ended abruptly with Lily heading upstairs in a huff. Max is at the stage where he never stops asking questions. When you answer his queries he always counters with "why." Kathy is now looking for a T-shirt for him with "Why" written on the front. As my friend noted at the beginning of this column grandchildren are indeed a blessing. And the good news for all grandparents and prospective grandparents is that at the end of the day you can give them back!

OPINION
SPRING MEANT SPECIAL WALKS HOME FROM SCHOOL WITH VELMA GIRLS LOVED AMBLING IN WATER-FILLED DITCHES, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
You could smell the earth after the snow had melted away. The trees were starting to bud and the sun was warm on our backs. Ditches along the Northcote Side Road were full of water from the melted snow, running so clear you could see flattened green grass underneath. Every school day, Velma and I couldn't wait to get to the Northcote Side Road to walk in those water-filled
ditches. This meant going down the Rink Road instead of Plaunt going home, which added a good mile to our walk. But the longer walk meant longer ditches. And that's what we wanted: longer water-filled ditches. Rarely did we go against our mothers' orders, at least not if we were within earshot or eyesight. Their orders were "stay out of the ditches, you'll catch your death of pneumonia." We had been caught once, and ever since we had to be very, very careful not to be seen. But coming home from school this time of year,
those orders went in one ear and out the other! Velma and I loved to walk in the water-filled ditches! As soon as we left the Rink Road, and passed Briscoe's General Store, we went behind the cluster of cedar trees beside the Briscoe homestead, and took off our shoes and stockings. We put everything in our book bags and tucked our skirts into the elastic legs of our flour bag bloomers. At first it was a shock when our feet hit the icecold water, but soon the numbness went up to our knees, and our legs turned beet-red. If we heard a car coming, and they were few and far between, we'd scurry out of the ditch and
crouch down looking as if we were just peering into the water, or we'd hurry behind a tree if one was handy. By the time we reached the slight hill on the Northcote Side Road, just before Plaunt, the ditches were even with the road, and the water ended. It was time to end our venture. There always seemed to be a cluster of cedar trees handy. We would dry our legs as much as we could with our hankies, and with great difficulty, force on the beige ribbed stockings and shoes. We prayed our scarlet legs would be back to normal by the time we reached home. Of course, walking in the water-filled ditches meant we didn't want anyone walk-
ing with us. So we dallied at school until everyone was headed home, or we would saunter along the road leaving behind classmates or brothers or sisters, all who were anxious to put another school day behind them. Too soon the spring weather would dry up the ditches. Each day we could see less and less water. What was left never did get any warmer, however. And our legs would still be beet red when we forced our stockings back on. We never got pneumonia, but like everyone else at the Northcote School, we did get colds and runny noses. Velma and I blamed it on our not wearing the little bag of chopped onions around our necks Mrs. Beam insisted kept us
healthy. We hated them with a passion. Or we blamed it on Two Mile Herman from Junior Third who seemed to be always sniffling and rubbing his nose on the sleeve of his shirt. It was never because we had walked in the icy water filled ditches! Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

He also gave kudos to former deputy mayor Jerry Flynn, library staff, family and friends, as well as event sponsors: People First of Lanark County, Carleton Place council, BIA, St. James Gate, illFixit Wireless and the local Tim Hortons. "I also need to thank the Easter bunny for stopping by, even though it was a busy weekend for the rabbit," the event chair noted. "See everyone next year," Earle added.

Twelve years on, still going strong! The 2019 Bunny Run in Carleton Place attracted more than 300 children on April 20. "The Bunny Run was another huge success," event chair Kory Earle told the Canadian Gazette. "Seeing the hundreds of smiles was so worth it!" The Bunny Run was presented by People First of Lanark County, an organization dedicated to advocating on behalf of people with intellectual disabilities. Earle is a co-founder. "Because of the community's overwhelming support for the event we came back, and we will continue the tradition next year," Earle stated. "The Bunny Run is stronger than it has ever been." The event ran from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m., kicking off from the Carleton Place Public Library on Beckwith Street. The downtown district hosts the Bunny Run, the region supported by the Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA). The BIA encompasses Bridge Street, one side of Beckwith Street and one side of Victoria Street. Too, it stretches to the Findlay Foundry property on High Street and the Carleton Place Mews on Lansdowne Avenue, as well as the Carleton Junction park area. "Thirty-two businesses and organizations took part this year," Earle said. Using a special clue sheet to uncover the participating locations, children were able to collect a bounty of goodies. "We had so many fantastic volunteers," Earle said.
Family Home Providers are people who have chosen to open their homes and their lives to a person with an intellectual disability. These individuals can be single, couples or families of all types of compositions and have diverse experiences, backgrounds and lifestyles. They can provide a consistent, nurturing home life and are willing and capable of assisting another person in the areas of daily living as necessary.

PAINT YOUR PET FUNDRAISER MAY 11 IN BECKWITH A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT LAWS TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Capture your furry friend on canvas. Paint With Janet presents Paint Your Pet, on Saturday, May 11, a fundraiser for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS). The session runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at Brunton Community Hall in Beckwith. Janet Beath has been a
professional artist for more than 25 years. She recently told the Canadian Gazette, "I love animals, and I have wanted to do this type of event for awhile." From dogs and cats to guinea pigs, alpacas and more ... "if you have a pet centipede, I am OK with it ... love them all," Beath said. Since launching Paint With Janet, around $45,000 has been raised for animals, individuals and causes in the last four years. The cost to take part in Paint Your Pet is $65 per person, which must be paid
in advance by way of Interac e-transfer (janet.beath@sympatico.ca). "No password is required, but ensure you specify the person and event being paid for," Beath underlined. Following payment, participants are asked to send a clear picture of their pet (only one pet) to Beath by email. "Each person's pet will be sketched in advance on a 16-inch by 12-inch canvas," she noted. Payment and photo must be sent to Beath before the end of April. Twenty-five dollars
from each ticket will go to LAWS. Located in Smiths Falls, LAWS has cared for abused, abandoned and lost animals for many decades. It is one of two no-kill shelters in Ontario. According to LAWS, funds raised through Paint Your Pet will be earmarked for the cat area renovations. Absolutely no artistic experience is necessary to participate in Paint Your Pet. From start to finish, Beath guides participants step-by-step on how to make their painting. "I like to see what people

HIKE FOR HOSPICE PALLIATIVE CARE SET FOR MAY 5 On Sunday, May 5, Mississippi Mills will join thousands of people across the country, as they come together to raise funds for hospice palliative-care programs and services. In the 17th year of the Hike for Hospice Palliative Care, this is the seventh year of participation for Hub Hospice Palliative Care (HHPC). We are more excited than ever to host this year's hike, to be held May 5 at the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area. The hike begins at the
historical Mill of Kintail, crosses a wooden bridge over the Indian River and links to a series of woodland trails of varying lengths. Dogs on leashes are welcome. There are a variety of trails, so you can enjoy a short loop or a longer trail. Registration will take place at the Mill of Kintail gatehouse between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. The kickoff will be at the inner parking lot. This is an event for all ages. Other activities include a small petting zoo for the children to enjoy, a
barbecue, a silent auction and gift-basket prizes for participants. "I love the setting. It's a beautiful place for people to get away from it all and immerse themselves in nature," said board chair Jane Henderson. "The walk is a time for reflection; often people hike in memory of a family member or friend." While the hike is co-ordinated nationally, due to the generous financial support of GSK and Amgen, 100 per cent of the funds raised in our com-
munity remain here. The funds raised this year by HHPC will be used to cover the costs of the homevisiting service and HHPC's bereavement program. Our hospice palliativecare programs are 100 per cent funded by charitable donations, and families must bear part of the cost of dying at home, in longer-term care - almost anywhere outside a hospital. The money raised through the hike provides physical, emotional and social assistance to pa-
tients, and their families and loved ones. Hub Hospice Palliative Care is working toward ensuring that more Canadians, especially in our own community, receive the endof-life care they wish for. To support or participate in Hike for Hospice
Palliative Care or for more information, please contact Jane Henderson at chair@hubhospice.com. You may also visit the website at hubhospice.com. Submitted by Hub Hospice Palliative Care

Many friends and family have spent memorable evenings at “the farm” including lots of music with fiddle, piano and guitar. Invariably, at some point through the evening, Madeleine would disappear from the piano, and you knew that she was preparing food, because you always had to eat before leaving. Madeleine will be fondly remembered for her excellent gardening skills, her handcrafts, her amazing chording on the piano, her delicious meals, and her wonderful hospitality.

LEWIS Kathleen May July 27, 1924 – April 24, 2015 In loving memory of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. – Your loving family
In Loving Memory of My Husband whom passed away April 30th, 2017. No one knows how much I miss you; No one knows the bitter pain I have suffered since I lost you; Life has never been the same. In my heart your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true; There is not a day, dear Leo, That I don not think of you Always loved and sadly missed; Your Loving wife Barb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In loving memory of a great man, loving father and cherished grandfather. Fondly loved and deeply mourned Memories of Papa Always bring a smile Often our tears will flow If only you were back For just a little while We’d sit, talk, laugh and share some cheer Just like we used to do You always meant so much And today you still do The fact that you’re not here Will always cause us pain But you will always be in our hearts And our guiding flame Not just today but always Love Kelly, Frank and Families
Memory of Greg Morris April 25, 2014 Deep in our hearts there’s a picture, More precious than silver or gold. ‘Tis a picture of a dear son and brother, Whose memory will never grow old. Loved and remembered always Mom and Mandy

UPGRADES REQUIRED TO MEET MINISTRY STANDARDS Continued from page 13
cerns we want to address." Bingley said those involve seeking input from Lanark Lodge residents, staff and families, explore the best site for the county's long-term care home, as well as any public-private partnerships out there. The community services committee endorsed her request to hire a consultant, who will bring findings back to the county council table. "This is going to be one of the most significant decisions made during this term of council and we need to get it right," Bingley stressed. "We're not at that point." She also noted there are a lot of unknowns right now in terms of legislation with Bill 74, known as The People's Health Care Act. It passed first reading on Feb. 26 and if enacted, would establish a new Connecting Care Act that Bingley said would have "significant impact with respect to redevelopment options and responsibilities." Those include the creation of a central agency, Ontario Health, and integrated care delivery systems. Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) agreed that this is the biggest decision "in this council chambers in decades." "We're not experts. We do not know the whole picture," he said. "Once the field is a little bit clearer of what's going on in the province, we should hire a very good consultant to go through all of the options, different models, and then we can decide what to do." Coun. Christa Lowry (Mississippi Mills Mayor) wondered if it was premature to speculate about additional beds for the facility. "I don't have that information, which is part of the problem," Bingley admitted. "It's a source of frustration for staff. There's no provincial strategy for where beds should be placed or demand ... it's left up to municipalities to figure out." "The only thing I can say safe-
ly is there has to be combinations of 32 beds in each resident area to meet the regulations." In good condition Lanark Lodge, located at 115 Christie Lake Road and originally built in 1966, encompasses 126,000 square feet and four wings - A, B, C and D. Both A and B wings (45,900 and 21,600 square feet, respectively), were constructed in 1966, have three floors and were renovated in 1991. The two-floor C wing, 16,800 square feet, was built in 1977 and underwent a renovation in 1992. D wing, built in 1988 and 42,120 square feet, has three floors. Residents from across Lanark County call it home. According to Michele Dredge of Dredge Leahy Architects Inc., the feasibility study really came down to "space." "Can we fit the design standards into the existing building?" she stated. "The buildings are kept in very good condition but the special standards are very, very prescriptive. It becomes an onerous project to consider to renovate." She said a larger building, higher than two to three stories, could be constructed in front of the current one. "You're talking about renovating a 30-year-old renovation in a 60-year-old building with 60-year-old infrastructure." An electrical review was also conducted by Vanderwesten & Rutherford Associates Inc. "In a nutshell, or findings are that the mechanical/electrical infrastructure is between 30 and 50 years old," explained senior electrical engineer Sharon Barr. "It's beyond the life cycle and in need of replacement."
STORY BEHIND THE STORY:
Lanark Lodge, originally constructed in 1966 with its most recent renovation in 1991, has until 2025 to meet Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care design standards. A feasibility study was commissioned in 2018 as a first step to look at possible options for renovation or rebuild.

valid or are updated when required. Moreover, the request cannot be for a period longer than three years. "Town staff has been doing ongoing work with the developer," Duval said. "NuGlobe Developments is currently in the process of or has already updated the relevant technical reports and studies we have requested." He explained, the engineering design drawings and servicing report were updated, and a traffic study is currently being updated. The reasoning behind the developer's ask was twofold: municipal delays experienced due to new staff, and preparing additional studies and reports as per the town's request. Coun. Toby Randell asked for clarification between the NuGlobe Developments subdivision and the proposed development at 150 Mill St. - the old woollen mill property. "We just turned down an extension request for McArthur Island," he said. "This is a subdivision approval," Duval explained. "McArthur Island was development permit approval at our level." "Typically, we do extend, and we have extended development permit approvals; however, it was a timing thing ... not in a place where he could get on a committee agenda," the acting manager of development services said. Jim Mikulasik, the owner of McArthur Island since 2008, was proposing to construct a phased project, with phase one including the redevelopment of the old mill into 58 apartment units as well as a restaurant/pub, banquet facility and retail/ commercial space. Later phases of the project, not yet detailed or applied for included an additional 58 residential units, indoor/underground parking and the revitalization of the site's steel-framed building. The NuGlobe Developments subdivision will have four internal streets, created with connections to Coleman and Nelson streets. At the end of 2018, the County of Lanark approved a red line revision to the subdivision, affecting phase one. "The revision was deemed minor because it increased the number of units by 9.2 per cent," Duval noted. This is under the allowable 10 per cent. In 2013, when the county green lighted the draft plan approval for the NuGlobe Developments, a total of 283 units were planned. The revision resulted in an increase of 27 residential units
