ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com With nearly 90-year-old pipes in the ground under Almonte's Mill Street, the road will soon see a major facelift. But businesses on the street have concerns over surviving construction. Deborah and Doug Coady, owners of Coady's Car Care at 30 Mill Street were two of several business owners who got the first glimpse of the Downtown Almonte Infrastructure Renewal Project design April 30 at Almonte Old Town Hall. The 60 per cent design, prepared by Jp2g Consultants Inc., was unveiled in a public information centre by Jp2g Consultants Inc. Operating an automotive repair garage, the Coadys' main concern is access. If the road is torn up, vehicles won't be able to visit their business. Deborah indicated the recent movie shoot gave them a taste of what could happen. "We just had three days of that movie where we were shut down," she commented. "Vehi-

CONCERNS OVER PARKING, ACCESS TO BUSINESSES Continued from page 1
the additional trees planned that would mess up sight lines for vehicles exiting the parking lot. "I have oil trucks, fuel trucks, boat trailers, horse trailers, coming in there and they do not bend in the middle. I've been here for 41 years and this is the thanks we're going to get?" he said. According to Jp2g chief executive officer, Neil Caldwell, the designs were created based on a Parsons Engineering Limited 2016 infrastructure renewal report and master plan update report by JL Richards and Associates in February 2018. His firm has broken the project into phases - Phase 1A and 1B (Mill Street) and Phase 2 (High, Brae and Little Bridge streets) - to take place over two years, from spring to
fall. There's no specific timeline for when the work will begin, but Jp2g will complete the design this year so the project is tender ready for 2019. It will then be up to council and funding availability as to when the shovels would go into the ground, said Guy Bourgon, Mississippi Mills director of roads and public works. He added that construction would take place from May to December. Parking has been a major issue and while the Parsons report indicated a total of 96 parking spots could be realized on the four streets, Caldwell said his team has recommended 81, up from the current 66. That breakdown will see Mill Street gain eight spaces (18 to 26), Little Bridge Street goes from two to six, Brae will remain at five spac-

es, and High Street will accommodate three more spaces (41 to 44). "The main difference in not developing as many parking spots as they did with the Parsons project is basically they were looking at angle parking ... we can't get up to 96 based on the constraints with access," he explained. The spaces will be 6.7 metres long, which concerned resident Harold McKay. "Will they be for little smart cars or a Ford F150, which we have most of here?" he questioned. Caldwell admitted it would be tight to accommodate a truck of that size. The biggest proposed change will be seen on Little Bridge Street where Jp2g's design suggests taking out the overpass and raising the road by five feet. "It will be a high point instead of a low point, which actually lets us get the pathway (Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail that runs across the overpass) to come

Since 2016, Mississippi Mills has been preparing for the project, first with an environmental assessment and now with a draft design. rest of the street. Accessibility will also be explored with this design, though Caldwell said it's a challenge to make all businesses accessible due to Mill Street's slope. Cheerfully Made Goods + Markets owner Emily Arbour said she's interested in doing what she can to improve access to her business at 72 Mill Street and is generally pleased with the design on the whole. "I don't have any complaints with what they're proposing and I'm excited about the rebuild because I know in the end, it will be fabulous. It's just about how we're going to survive the closure," she said.

Town of Carleton Place photo As illustrated above, Shared Network Canada would like to construct a 35-metre mono-pole tower in Carleton Place, located at the southeast corner of 55 Lansdowne Ave., Total Rhythm Dance Studio.
PROPOSED CELL TOWER MET WITH CHILLY RECEPTION FROM COUNCIL TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com
The erection of the tower is subject to Industry Canada's public consultation process, with Carleton Place residents being urged by council to voice their relevant concerns. "You cannot just say you do not like it," Duval warned. Examples of reasonable or relevant concerns: Why is the use of an existing antenna system or structure not a possibility? Is an alternate site not possible? What steps are being taken to ensure the tower is not accessible to the public? What steps are being taken to integrate the tower into the local surroundings? "Our only limited recourse ... is to get the public to bombard this (government) website and the owner of this structure," RanSee SITE, page 6

A proposed 35-metre monopole tower in Carleton Place "is a monstrosity," says one town councillor. " ... Nobody is going to appreciate this structure sitting in the middle of our municipality," Coun. Toby Randell continued. However, the town's hands are tied because the federal government through Industry Canada regulates cellular towers and other telecommunication facilities. During the committee of the whole meeting on April 23, where council passed a motion to prepare a written submission with concerns, Tyler Duval, the acting manager of developmental services noted, "the municipality is entitled to
provide feedback on the tower, but it has no say regarding the project." Shared Network Canada, in its class two development permit application, would like to construct the tower at the southeast corner of 55 Lansdowne Ave. The company identified the property as the optimal location to provide improved wireless service. Duval noted, "a setback from existing housing stock would be retained, and the base of the tower will be fenced and monitored electronically." Although it was not necessary, he explained, the development permit application was submitted by Shared Network Canada "because they wanted to go through the avenues development normally goes through here ... being as transparent as possible."

The Olde Barracks was vacant and boarded up at the time of the 2016 blaze. This newspaper recently sat down with Mississippi Mills' interim fire chief Steve Giberson to find out if the cause of the fire was ever determined. He noted the local fire department conducted an investigation; however, "a cause could not be determined ... a definitive ignition source was not found." If a fire burns hot enough, it can destroy the scene. Giberson was not with the Mississippi Mills brigade at the time of the Olde Barracks fire, only coming to the municipality five weeks ago. Currently, the Olde Barracks property is up for sale. Zoned commercial, it is listed at $999,000.

It has been three years since the Olde Barracks in Mississippi Mills was destroyed by fire. Dozens of firefighters battled the blaze at 7270 County Road 29, just outside Carleton Place, on May 9. The Mississippi Mills Fire Department, under the director of then fire chief Pascal Meunier, was dispatched to the scene just before 4:30 p.m. The only information at the time: a fully involved structure fire. Heavy black smoke was visible from kilometres away. Meunier wasted no time calling for help from surrounding fire departments: Carleton Place, Beckwith, BBD&E, Smiths Falls and Ottawa. Water tankers were needed due to no fire hydrants in the area.
Owing to safety concerns, firefighters deployed a defensive attack. "The structure was compromised, and the building was built without fire separations," Meunier told the Canadian Gazette at the time. In the end, an excavator was brought in to knock down the structure. As of 6:12 p.m., the fire was reported as under control. Firefighters left the scene at 11 p.m. The Olde Barracks was constructed in the early 1960s, intended as a bomb shelter for federal employees. The Federal Readiness Unit (FRU) was two stories and occupied 12,000 square feet above ground and 6,000 below ground. With a nearidentical FRU in Kemptville, the Cold War installation would keep Canada's government running after a Soviet nuclear attack. In later years, the structure, considered a piece of Canadian military history, was a training centre for

dell said. "I would like all of us right now to show the public and the people here our anger at this. Personally, as a citizen and councillor, it is not something I want to entertain in the middle of my town." Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond stressed: "It does not belong there. It is wrong." Furthermore, the tower, he noted, is four times higher than an interim motion passed earlier in the meeting "to limit height restriction in that part of town." Coun. Theresa Fritz, who serves as council representative on the Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA), said the group also has reservations about the tower's placement. If it moves forward it would be located in the BIA district, next to the Carleton Junction park area. According to Mayor Doug Black, "some things belong in town and some things belong in the country, and this tower belongs in the country. I cannot believe we have to fight this tower (being put) in the middle of our town." Surprised by reaction Shared Network Canada approached the owners of 55 Lansdowne Ave. in Carle-
ton Place, Tania and Alex Munro, in 2018. Tania is the sole owner of Total Rhythm Dance Studio; however, "the fitness side (Active Me Fitness Studio) is incorporated through the building, which I co-own with my husband," she explained to the Canadian Gazette on May 3. Tania contacted this newspaper after learning of council's opposition to the tower's possible placement on her property. "I was surprised," she said. "No one (council members or town staff) has called me or stopped by to discuss it." She said a representative from Shared Network Canada approached her last summer to seek interest in renting out a piece of land for the tower. Initially, she had reservations. "In the beginning, we were opposed to it ... when you think cellular tower you think Eiffel Tower, an awfully big thing," she said. "We did not want it for the community." However, after several discussions with Shared Network Canada officials over time, the Munros changed their mind. "They assured us it would be a monopole, which looks like a lamppost only higher," Tania said. "It would take up, at
most, the area of three parking spaces." "People will not have access to it," Tania added. "Children cannot get inside." Allowing the tower on its property will benefit the Munro family financially. "As a small business we are always looking for ways to create income to help out with expenses," she added. "As long as we own building we will continue to receive rent ... Shared Network Canada is not buying property." For radio frequencies, Health Canada establishes safety guidelines for exposure, which have been adopted by Industry Canada, outlined in its Safety Code 6 publication: Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. The RF energy given off by cellular towers and other telecommunication facilities is a type of non-ionizing radiation. It is similar to the type of energy used in AM/FM radio and TV broadcast signals. "Health Canada has deemed it OK, and we need to trust our government is looking out for us," Tania said. "If it was dangerous, we would not support it ... we have four kids, and as a small business our kids are with us a lot at the studio."

RAISE HELL IF RESTRUCTURING CRIPPLES RURAL SERVICES The devil is in the details. And many of the details could be devilishly devastating to rural areas in the province. The provincial budget brought down April 11 included a few shocks but nothing too unexpected from a government elected to put Ontario's finances on a solid footing. However, some of the more vague statements turn out to be not so benign. Since budget day, Ontarians have been reeling from new revelations almost every day about another important service being diminished or restructured. Word trickled out the number of health units would be reduced from 35 to 10 with their budgets slashed by almost a third, followed by confirmation 52 ambulance services would be melded into 10. There are also new details about cuts to teachers' jobs, library support services, legal aid and conservation authorities. However, there are still plenty of unknowns about how the cuts will be rolled out and what the effect will be on those relying on the services. Proposed centralization of the paramedic service justifiably makes folks nervous. For the last few years, rural politicians around Ottawa have been speaking out as their ambulances are ordered into the city to try to compensate for shortages there, leaving country folks vulnerable. If ambulance services in Lanark counties are rolled into one Ottawa-centric service, will rural representatives still be able to forcefully advocate for their residents or will their voices become a minority and be lost in the shuffle (as happened with the Local Health Integration Networks)? Questions could be asked of the proposed centralization of health units. Rural and urban priorities often clash when it comes to issues health units deal with, as what may be acceptable in the city might be viewed as an invasion of rights to country folks. Integration can work if changes result in cost-savings, efficiencies and effective governance taking into account both urban and rural needs. If all it causes is turmoil, rancour and a loss of rural programs and rights, then the approach will fail. And too often in the past, such centralization initiatives faltered because rural services and property taxpayers were disadvantaged or ignored. So in the next few months when the provincial government starts implementing the details of its restructuring of paramedic services and health units, as well as in other areas, it's important local representatives are genuinely consulted. And it's critical the public support and push them to forcefully defend programs such as community paramedicine and ensure governance includes adequate rural representation. When the devil in the details becomes apparent, it's important both municipal and county officials, along with our rural MPPs, stand up for our programs and rights, even if they have to play the devil's advocate. If not, there will be the devil to pay.

WHO WE ARE
LETTERS AND COMMENTARY HELP OUR COMMUNITY BY HELPING JUSTICE PROGRAM Dear editor: It is very sad and quite shocking to me that, as reported in the Perth Courier, April 18 (LCCJP Needs $30,000 by April 30 or Foresees Shutdown) that the Lanark County Community Justice Program could well be eliminated due to insufficient financial support from the provincial Ministry of the Attorney General and from local funding organizations. This program is not only effective in terms of money saved by the police and the courts, it also works extremely well. How? As a longtime volunteer facilitator with both the court diversion program and the Be Strong program in local schools, I have witnessed healing of relationships and real justice so effective that re-offence rarely if ever happens. Note that this process however, is no walk in the park for the accused, far from it! Offenders who
have accepted responsibility for what they have done must then face those they have harmed, all seated in a circle, learn first-hand about the real consequences of what they have done and explain what they were thinking (or not) at the time. They can offer apologies directly to those they have harmed, and must be willing to explore appropriate consequences geared to healing the harm done and thereby ensuring that there are no repeat offences. The process is structured so that everyone affected, including the accused, the police, business owners, family members and friends, all have a say in what they think would be appropriate actions for the accused to undertake, and they must all be in agreement. Once signed, this agreement becomes a legal document, and if the accused lives up to the agreed-upon actions, the charges are not pursued by the courts. This program saves taxpayers money, it's amazingly effective at rebuilding functional community,
and it deserves all the support it can get right now to continue.

GOVERNMENT DROPPED BALL ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES REBATE Dear editor: I couldn't agree more with Jeff Maguire that electric vehicles are the future and that governments should provide "incentives." The Ontario government did offer a rebate on electric vehicles - from $8,000 to $14,000 depending on the make and model until the Ford government cancelled the program last summer. With this, sales of electric vehicles in Ontario declined. The current Ontario government dropped the ball.

COMMUNITY
CARLETON PLACE IDA GIVES VINTAGE CLOTHING TALK TAKES PLACE MOTHER'S DAY BACK TO LOCAL HOSPITAL DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com Sporting the latest trend in fashion is how most people express their identity. Vicki Racey isn't most people. Donning classics from eras gone by - primarily the Roaring Twenties with slip gowns and pinstripe suits, Art Deco, and glamorous parties - is her "labour of love" and the reason many attend her fashion talks. Well-known in Almonte and beyond, the former vintage store businesswoman is hosting a Mother's Day show at Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum called Decades of Fabulous Fashion!
"I've been collecting for many, many years. This is what I love," Racey said, while overseeing the recent vintage clothing sale at the museum. Demand was high all weekend to get inside, beginning with a lineup on day one. "There is so much history in clothes. And they are also personal, especially back then when you had one formal dress. It said a lot about who you were," Racey said. "You became known for what you wore." Add that many people made their clothes, or at least knew how to make repairs; plus the material was of higher quality, if less readily available; and
it is clear that people had more invested in their fashion than today's throw away society. She agreed that some of that holds over to this day. Price isn't always the determining factor for shoppers. A $10 top is one thing; willing to forge a two- or threeyear relationship with that particular top is another consideration. Decades of Fabulous Fashion - showing items from Racey's private collection - takes place Sunday, May 12, 1 to 4 p.m. at 267 Edmund St. Tickets are $10 (members pay $5) and refreshments will be served. Call 613-253-7013 for reservations.

CARLETON PLACE TEEN STARS IN FEATURE FILM MADDY MARTIN, 17, TAKES ON TINSELTOWN TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place actress Maddy Martin called walking the red carpet during the premiere of Breakthrough "really surreal." Maddy, a 17-year-old student at Notre Dame Catholic High School, plays Abby Sutterer in the Hollywood film, which stars Chrissy Metz of This Is Us, a popular TV series. The movie's premiere took place at the Fox Village Theatre in Westwood, a historic neighbourhood in Los Angeles, on April 11. Breakthrough, which hit theatres on April 17, is based on the real-life story of John Smith, a teenager who in 2015 fell through the ice on a lake in St. Louis (Missouri). John was underwater for 15 minutes before he was pulled out. "He was dead for 45 minutes, with doctors basically telling his adoptive mother, Joyce Smith (played by Metz), to say goodbye," Maddy explained. "There was nothing else they

"However, Joyce prayed over the body, and John's heart eventually started beating again," she said. The Smith family's journey is the subject of Joyce's
novel: The Impossible: The Miraculous Story of a Mother's Faith and Her Child's Resurrection. According to Maddy, John was able to walk out of the hospital 15 days after his accident, with no side effects. Directed by Roxann Dawson, Breakthrough is the first film from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by The Walt Disney Company. The media conglomerate acquired 20th Century Fox through its merger with 21st Century Fox, which transpired in March. In addition to Maddy and Metz, other Breakthrough cast members include Marcel Ruiz, Josh Lucas, Topher Grace, Mike Colter and Dennis Haysbert, just to name a few. The premiere was a huge affair for the Martin family, with Maddy joined by her mother Kate, father Daryl and sister Kirra. "We went a day in advance, hitting up Universal Studios Hollywood, which was really fun," the teenager said. Was the red carpet experience everything Maddy thought it would be? See PREMIERE, page 16

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

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? CAROUSEL MOVES TO LARGER LOCATION TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carousel in downtown Carleton Place held its grand reopening on May 1, celebrating its recent move from a little shop north of Central Bridge to a much larger store at 149 Bridge St. Carousel, a shabby chic boutique, offers a selection of toys, new and consignment apparel - sizes newborn to eight and maternity - and locally made items. Just the facts: Customers lined up for their chance to get a hold of some great deals on Wednesday morning as Carousel officially reopened in its new location, the former site of Nancy's Impressions. Carousel, owned and operated by Nicole Hunt, has been in downtown Carleton Place for approximately three years. Festivities on May 1 included a ribbon cutting, several draws, no tax (excluding a few items), free cupcakes and gift bags of locally made goodies (worth almost $100) to the first 50 customers spending $25 or more. "The new store is way bigger, twice the size," Nicole told the Canadian Gazette. "I am definitely able to offer more toys and locally made products. Nancy Code-Miller owned Nancy's Impressions, which offered a variety of high quality women's clothing and accessories. The store closed on March 16 after 36 years, and Code-Miller sold the building to two Ottawa businessmen. "When I found out Nancy was leaving ... I had my husband come and work for me so I could run up and talk to her," Nicole said. "She gave me the names of the landlords ... I called and it just fell into place." "I love what I do," Nicole added. "This is my passion."
Moving day was April 28, with husband Tim and children Kahlan, Aubree and Maddox lending a hand. Mayor Doug Black attended the grand reopening with Coun. Linda Seccaspina, chief administrative officer Diane Smithson and communications co-ordinator Amanda Charania. Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) co-ordinator Kate Murray and board chair Mark Lovell were also there, along with Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce general manager Jackie Kavanagh and office administrator Amber Campbell. "You have to admire a young couple committed to expanding and growing its business, especially in downtown Carleton Place," Black told this newspaper. "Nothing but the best for Carousel's continued success." The BIA is thrilled Carousel has expanded. "Nicole and her tribe of makers and moms are nothing short of amazing," Murray said. "We are thrilled by the success of Carousel in downtown Carleton Place," Kavanagh added. "To see them expanding and growing their family business is truly inspiring." So Nicole can have a day off once a week, close friend Corinne McCaffrey takes over. For more information about Carousel, find the store on Instagram (search carousel.cp) and Facebook (search Carousel) or call 613-492-5439 Nicole hopes to expand and offer online shopping next month.

NOTICE - WATER MAIN FLUSHING ALMONTE WARD May 6 – June 14, 2019 The Corporation of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be flushing the water mains in all areas of Almonte Ward beginning Monday, May 6, 2019 to Friday, June 14, 2019, during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends). This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. • Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. • If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. • Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometre’s away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water. • Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts. • We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water. We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed. If you would like more information, please call the Roads & Public Works Department at 613-256-2064 and speak to Rod Cameron ext. 232 or Cindy Hartwick ext. 258.

MacLaren, a music and arts teacher for more than two decades, died at the age of 46 in July 2018 after a battle with leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer originating from smooth muscle, which lasted just over a year. "She was a pretty awesome lady and we miss her a lot," said Kristen Drouin, friend and colleague of the late MacLaren. "She had a massive impact on our school and staff. It was important for us to recognize her contribution to our school and community." So, that's why SFDCI has decided to dedicate the school's music room in MacLaren's honour. The plaque will be located in the school's cafetorium, right beside the main door. Music was in MacLaren's blood. The Carleton Place area resident was also founding member and the musical director of the Carleton Place Town Singers and a dedicated member of the theatre group Mississippi Mudds. "She was always singing and playing the piano," said Drouin. Students at SFDCI spoke of MacLaren always making the music room a safe place for students to express themselves. She always had an open door and time to listen to the concerns of her students, whether school-related or not. The plaque dedication night will be filled with music and celebration, all in MacLaren's honour, at SFDCI on Thursday, May 16, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

LONGTIME FRIENDS REUNITED AFTER MANY DECADES APART MARY COOK
Heather Luneburg photo Jean Stewart, left, with Gloria Laflamme, share stories while eating lunch in the Shores Dining Room at Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place. The two reconnected in Carleton Place recently after many decades apart.
This is a story of remarkable coincidence and chance. It spans almost eight decades, beginning in the early years of the Second World War, and climaxes this past January. It is the story of two young girls whose lives took many turns and twists after a childhood which began in the nation's capital when both were students at Glebe Collegiate. Back then, Jean Douglas and Gloria Winmill were inseparable. Like most good friends, they did everything together. They liked the same things, double dated, and vowed to stay friends forever. Jean was the first to marry. The date was April 17, 1943 when she exchanged her wedding vows with Tom Stewart, a young airman. She remembers
that it snowed that day. Three years later, Gloria married her young airman, Jim Eagleson with Jean as her matron of honour, and Jean's husband as best man, at a ceremony at Parkdale United Church. After the two young men earned their wings, both were shipped overseas, but sadly, Gloria's young husband lost his life in France over Bezingham. As is bound to happen, circumstances cause change, and although both young girls would always carry in their minds and hearts the joyous days of their youth, they would lose touch, reconnect, and lose touch again. Moves to other parts of the country intervened, and five years after Gloria lost her husband, she married Todd Frederick Laflamme and moved to Montreal. Jean's husband, on returning to Canada after the war,
would earn his medical degree and open his practice in Ottawa. Both would build families, with Gloria having two daughters and Jean three daughters and a son. Although their children knew of the strong friendship of their mothers, they never crossed paths. Both Jean and Gloria had only intermittent connections with each other as the years went by, with family commitments, moves to other parts of the country, and time intervening. Decades would pass. Rarely did the two former best friends reconnect. This is where the story takes a once-in-a-lifetime twist. Jean's daughter Leslie Viets and Gloria's daughter Deborah Laflamme both decided to move to Carleton Place from Ottawa. Of course, See – page 15

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

they didn't know each other so had no idea their mothers had once been best friends more than 70 years ago. Both daughters wanted their mothers close to them and started looking at retirement homes in the area. They looked for a place where they would get the minimal care they needed and have the comfort of knowing they were close by. "We looked at places all around the area. And we liked what we saw at Waterside Retirement and felt mother would be happy there, and be minutes away from me," Leslie said. Jean moved into Waterside in September of last year. My husband Wally and I were already living at Waterside, and when I saw Jean in the dining room just after she moved in, we connected and shared many laughs and good conversation. In the meantime, Gloria's daughter was seeking out a place for her mother. Waterside was on her list. "I found the staff wonderful, and I knew mother would fit right in," Debora told me. Gloria moved in early this year. Then one night, sitting in the dining room, I saw

Submitted/Gloria Winmill This is a photo from Gloria's first wedding, where Jean was her matron of honour. Gloria come in and look around trying to decide where to sit. I invited her to join Jean, Wally and me. I introduced them, and there was this long pause as both looked at each other. Jean was the first to speak. "I was your matron of honour at your wedding more than 70 years ago." There were a few tears, lots of laughter, and when Wally and I got up to leave, Gloria and Jean were still trying to fill in the gaps of a 70-year separation. Now the two women share the table at every meal, spend hours catching up, and renewing a
friendship that had its beginning decades before. The two daughters have met for the first time and wonder too at the great odds that not only brought their mothers together, but to the same small town in the Ottawa Valley and to the same retirement home. Was it fate, coincidence, or all part of a master plan? It really doesn't matter. What does matter is that two best friends of many years ago have been reunited and are spending joyous hours rekindling memories and filling in the many blanks covering almost eight decades.

PREMIERE AN OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE Continued from page 10
"It was intimidating ... there was one moment when I saw actor Terry Crews across the red carpet, which is when it hit me this is crazy," Maddy explained. Crews is one of the stars of the TV sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and he is currently set to host the upcoming season of America's Got Talent. Breakthrough was shot
in Winnipeg last spring. Kate accompanied her daughter. "This is such a beautiful story ... emotional to watch, and I was honoured to be a part of it," Maddy said. In regards to Metz, the teenager stated, "She is just as sweet as you think she would be ... I cannot say enough good things about her." This isn't Maddy's first screen role. She appeared
in the TV movie Killer Mom, playing the role of Allison Timmons; as well as TV series' Taken and 21 Thunder; a part in the movie Tell the World; commercials and more. "I was actually in Montreal on the set of the TV series Fatal Vows when I got a phone call about getting the part in Breakthrough," Maddy noted. "I was ecstatic!" In her spare time, Maddy likes hanging out with
her friends. "They are a handful, but they are amazing," she said with a laugh. Maddy is a member of the Notre Dame Catholic High School improv team, led by Joseph Gallagher. She considers the group her second family. What is the teenager's dream role? "Something in Brooklyn Nine-Nine ... I could be a hotdog vendor and I would be happy," Maddy said. "It

CARLETON PLACE TOWN HALL SHINES GREEN FOR CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place Town Hall is going green in support of Children's Mental Health Week, May 5-11. During the committee of the whole (COW) meeting on April 23, council unanimously approved a motion for the municipality to participate in the Ontario-wide Green Light campaign by il-
luminating the town hall. Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth asked the town to take part in the annual initiative, which raises awareness about mental health challenges facing children and youth. "This is something the town has done several years in a row now," COW chair Coun. Theresa Fritz stated. According to the Cana-
dian Mental Health Association, approximately 1 in 5 children and youth in Ontario has a mental health challenge, and "going green for mental health is a simple way to remind the community we must make mental health a priority and reduce wait times for service," which "can lead to improved achievement in school and better health outcomes in life."
Dozens of prominent natural and man-made structures, from the CN Tower in Toronto to Niagara Falls, across the province will be bathed in green light to recognize the cause. "As someone who has both family members and close friends who deal with mental health issues, including children, I am glad to see this is an ongoing thing," Coun. Toby Randell

"It is very important we highlight mental health awareness." "I am glad we, as a municipality, do this," he added. "I hope we continue to
do it." The Almonte Old Town Hall in Mississippi Mills will also be illuminated green during Children's Mental Health Week.

BAD MARGUERITE'S SPRING GIFT TO TEACHER BACKFIRES FLOWERS HAD MISS CROSBY SNEEZING LOUDLY, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
Bad Marguerite was at it again, always trying to get on the good side of Miss Crosby. Often her actions didn't work out though. There was the time my brother Emerson stole the homemade doughnut she brought the teacher. Mar-
guerite made the mistake of leaving it on her own desk at morning recess, meaning to give it to Miss Crosby when we were having our lunch. Everyone could see her, and that's what Marguerite liked ... lots of attention. Well, when Emerson was walking past Marguerite's desk, he crammed the whole thing into his mouth, and it was gone before he reached the back door! Of course, he did it so sneakily Marguerite didn't know who to blame, but she blamed Rocky, who was known to latch onto things that didn't belong to him. But Rocky had no idea what she was talking about.
Well, here she was again. On a sunny and warm early spring day in May, she arrived at school just before Miss Crosby appeared on the step to ring the big brass bell. Marguerite had in her hand something wrapped in wax paper, and she had no intention of telling us what it was, but when we went into the school, she went right up to the teacher's desk, and plopped it right down on top of the attendance book. She didn't want Miss Crosby to miss it. Just before we took our seats, Marguerite jabbed her finger in the general direction of the parcel, and the teacher had no choice but to unwrap it. It
was a bunch of daffodils and what looked like weeds to me, and some green leaves. Then the fun began. Miss Crosby threw back her head and let go with a sneeze that could be heard over in Admaston! Several more loud sneezes followed, and Miss Crosby quickly moved over to the window where the pencil sharpener was anchored, threw open a window, and set right in to morning prayers and the Bible reading, wiping her nose at the same time never going back to her desk. The flowers lay opened on her desk, but she avoided going anywhere near them. She even called for recess way before the old
CPR clock on the wall said it was time. That day, no one was allowed to stay in the school. My sister Audrey in Senior Fourth said recess went an extra 10 minutes, which suited me just fine. When we went back into school, there was no sign of the flowers. But we could sure smell Lifebuoy soap! And over in the corner where the big green tin waste paper basket stood, we saw what was left of Marguerite's gift to Miss Crosby. You didn't have to be a university graduate to know what was sticking out of the basket. It was a big parcel thickly wrapped in many pages of the Renfrew Mercury, well
away from Miss Crosby's nose! Bad Marguerite, for once, had the common sense not to ask the teacher what happened to her flowers. It was a long time before she brought anything else to the teacher!

MARITIMES FAVOURITES BROUGHT TO ONTARIO TABLES family and friends, salt air blowing down Barrington Street on a late winter night, and the distinctive flavour of Chris Brothers pepperoni. He soon realized Chris Brothers was not a thing in Upper Canada. So every trip home meant filling up multiple coolers with his favourite meat snack. "I'd have the guys over for poker and they loved it. Everybody loved it," said Raftus, who lives in Carleton Place and was a vendor at the recent Home & Fashion
DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com You can take the boy out of Nova Scotia, but you can't take Nova Scotia pepperoni out of the boy. He'll take it and a few other maritime favourites with him on the way out. Cory Raftus moved from Halifax to the Ottawa area when he was 19. Like many Maritimers (no one loves the Maritimes more than a Maritimer living away) Raftus missed a lot of things:
Show. "They'd say, 'Can I buy it off ya?' No way, frig off." Always an entrepreneurial-minded guy, Raftus figured it was getting too expensive having it shipped up to Ottawa. So, in 2012, he bought $200 worth of it and set up at table at the local farmers' market. "It sold out in an hour," Raftus said. The next year Chris Brothers was in The Cheddar Stop in Carleton Place, then other retailers. He has no formal relation-
ship with the company, but they are "totally on board" with his business. Raftus broadened the product line to include salami, and non-Chris Brothers products like smoked herring, summer savory and donair sauce (Halifax is the birthplace of the donair sandwich). He can ship to Toronto in one day, and welcomes requests for other Atlantic Canada comfort food favourites. For more, see www.thepepperoniguy.com .
Derek Dunn/Metroland Cory Raftus of Carleton Place is The Pepperoni Guy. He was selling Chris Brother products - all the way from Nova Scotia - at a recent home and fashion show, and has many favourites from Atlantic Canada in stores throughout Ottawa.

WINE'D AROUND DOWNTOWN RETURNS MAY 25 The always popular Wine'd Around Downtown event returns to Carleton Place for a 12th consecutive year on Saturday, May 25. Tickets, in the form of Tshirts, are now available for sale at two downtown locations. The venture runs from 1 to 5 p.m. and involves nine participating restaurants, pubs, craft breweries and caterers. The eagerly anticipated venture is a fundraiser for the Carleton Place Sister City committee to help underwrite costs associated with various annual activ-
ities, involving the town's two sister communities. Carleton Place has been twinned with Franklin since 2005. The town is also formally linked with the village of Comrie, Scotland, a relationship that marks its 27th year in 2019. Venues participating in Wine'd Around Downtown will dispense tasty appetizers and wine samples will be on offer at various locations in the downtown area. Tickets (T-shirts) are now available for $25 each at the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce Information Centre, located at
the Moore House at 170 Bridge St. (opposite the town hall) or at the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St. Purchasers receive an event T-shirt, an information brochure about the event and a coupon for one free appetizer at one of the participating venues. As an added attraction this year, participants will be offered a taste of the Dominican Republic. Wine'd Around Downtown ticket holders will have an opportunity to taste Dominican cuisine and sample rum in the historic Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium.
Sponsored by the island nation's Ottawa embassy, participants will also have a chance to learn a little about the culture and food of the Dominican Republic. As the play on words in the name suggests, participants in Wine'd Around Downtown are encouraged to "wind" their way from one venue to another in the downtown area. The idea of the event is not to over imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and locally brewed craft beer and enjoy appetizers in one or more of the locations. "We ask everyone in-

In 1974 they moved to Kemptville, Ontario, where their fourth son was born. Since 1987 they have been living in Saskatoon.

She will always hold a special place in the hearts of her brothers Les (Ginger) and Pete (Colleen), brothers-in-law Fred (Debbie) and Ron (Anna) and their families. Her myriad of cousins, many who were more like siblings, will remember her open heart and generous spirit. She is predeceased by her parents Norma and Les and brother Bill. Peggy will be remembered for her love of family, game nights that always ran into the wee hours with friends. She loved to spend her summers on the Point in Petawawa and will be missed by many there. She will be missed as well by the many friends she made in the 26 years she worked at the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa-Carleton. Peggy will be remembered at a memorial service at Pinecrest Remembrance Centre, 2500 Baseline Road, Ottawa 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, 2019 followed by a private family interment. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Dr. Sarti, Dr. Tennant and the wonderful staff of the Ottawa General Hospital for the care and comfort they provided in her final days. For those who wish memorial donations can be made to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

On a beautiful spring afternoon in Brampton, Joe set out on his journey to meet Jesus. Joseph Carl Noonan Tuesday January 21st, 1941 to Wednesday April 24th, 2019. He was the cherished uncle to Kathy Ann (Dave) Hughes of Brampton. Joe resided with Kathy Ann and Dave for many years. He was the beloved brother of Lorraine (late Donald) Cooper of Sudbury and Michael Noonan of Mallorytown. Joe was the uncle to Stephen (Melanie) Graham, Julia Cooper of Oshawa, Shelley (Walter) Kurnew of Sudbury and many other nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Desmond and Ruth (Chapman) Noonan, brothers George, Edward, John (Jack), Eugene, Donald, Stephen, Patrick and sisters Ruth, Catherine and wife Rose. Joe was a lifelong learner and student of life. He was an avid collector of coins, stamps and artwork, especially the Group of Seven and new artists. He lived in New Orleans for many years and truly loved the city and its interesting mix of people and cultures. Joe also lived and worked in Jamaica as a teacher. Those locals gave him an appreciation for great food. Even though Joe decided to not pursue a religious profession he lived his life as an example of the golden rule. He was loving, caring, generous and faithful to his loved ones and his religion. A special thank you to Lynne and Marilyn for all of your visits, talks, laughs, hugs and chauffeuring. Also to the staff at Peel Manor for their care especially on those days when Joe was particularly disagreeable and to Dr. Abu Ahbed for going above and beyond.

CREIGHTON, Delephine God’s Garden God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. And the He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine”.

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!

CARLETON PLACE HIRES NEW CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place has hired a new chief building official (CBO) - the second in about three years. Lennox Smith was introduced to council during its meeting on April 23. He also takes on the role of bylaw enforcement officer. Smith replaces former CBO Brian Gass. Gass began his employment with the town in early 2016. "It is very nice to meet everyone," Smith said on Tuesday. He brings 11 years experience to the table, with seven or eight of them as a CBO in both Mississippi Mills and Perth. "I have a young family, stationed in the Ottawa Valley," Smith noted. "I am not going anywhere ... I like it here." Currently, he resides in Pakenham. "I am looking forward to coming to work for the Town of Carleton Place," Smith stated. Mayor Doug Black had the opportunity to sit in on a meeting earlier in the day with Smith. "My education level went up a whole jump because of him," Black said. "He is quite knowledgeable ... I think we have a winner here." Coun. Toby Randell called the CBO a very important position within the municipality, and "we are going to be very busy in the coming years." The town also hired David Norton as a building official. His role: building inspector/plans examiner and bylaw enforcement officer. Both Smith and Norton have already started working with residents and developers. In a press release issued by the town, the chief administrative officer, Diane Smithson, noted: "I am pleased to welcome Len and Dave to the staff team in Carleton Place, and just in time for the busy construction season this year."
