FINAL CHAPTER WRITTEN FOR THE BOOK GALLERY 'ALL BOOKS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN FOR' SAYS OWNER BEV PEARMAN TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place is a small town with a big heart. Forty-eight hours after resident Bev Pearman appealed for help, desperately trying to figure out what to do with nearly 100,000 books, her call was answered. "The books have been spoken for," Pearman told the Canadian Gazette on May 13. After opening its doors to the public for two days, May 9-10, offering free books, The Book Gallery in Carleton Place is closed for good. "The public helped clear the remaining stock," Pearman explained. For 11 years, Pearman was married to the late Steve Hamilton, a longtime and dedicated employee of The Book Gallery.

He passed away suddenly on March 21. The couple met at the bookstore, located at 19 Lake Ave. W., at the corner of Victoria Street. The late Grant Purdy opened The Book Gallery in 1991, then situated at 18 Allan St., the current site of The Exchange. During a 2010 interview, he told this newspaper, "I always wanted to open a used bookstore with something for everyone - a store specializing in books for people who wanted to read." Purdy added, people read for pleasure or escape ... a book allows them to get caught up in the plot, temporarily forgetting the strains of everyday life. The Book Gallery moved to its current location in 2003, boasting roughly 180,000 titles in its heyday, with genres ranging from true crime and history to romance and science fiction. When Purdy's health declined, Hamilton took over running the store. In February 2018, surrendering to the forces of eSee COMMUNITY, page 2

commerce and the popularity of ebooks, he announced the business was forced to close its doors. A huge blowout sale immediately commenced. At the time, Hamilton told this newspaper: "It is sad to see it come to an end. If I had my way, I would stay here until I retired, but there is no point." When Purdy passed away in October 2018 he left The Book Gallery to Hamilton. Now, with the building housing the store sold, all books inside needed to be removed before the end of June. Pearman has not been able to grieve her husband's passing because she was so consumed by this responsibility. "I am just devastated," Pearman told this newspaper. However, "I am going to see this through for Steve," she stressed. "I need to do this for

All books inside The Book Gallery have been spoken for. Pearman, right, with Hometown Hearts member Shannon O'Neill. him." Pearman's appeal for help was successful. "I want to thank people for

their support during this difficult time, as well as in the past," she stated. Shannon O'Neill of Home-

town Hearts took Pearman under her wing throughout the ordeal, providing love, support and guidance. "She is very kind," Pearman stressed. Some of the books ended up at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. On May 9, Jerry Jensen and Peter Mace, members of The Friends of the Canadian War Museum, stopped by the store to load up on war books. Some of their finds will be sold, however, which will help pay for museum programs - programs not government funded. "Kanata United Church was able to come and take some of our books," Pearman said. Other recipients and people reaching out included small schools and libraries, non-profit organizations, etc. In his final interview with this newspaper, Hamilton noted: "Above all, I want to see these books go to people who are going

to enjoy them and keep them." Rare finds The Book Gallery was known to have a few collectible books and some first editions. Purdy previously told this newspaper: "I have a book by Arnprior's Pat and Rosemarie Keough - Antarctica, which is signed by (former) Queen Noor of Jordan. It is valued at $4,500." He recounted the time a lady fainted, waking up and pointing to a copy of a mystery written in England where many of her relatives were portrayed. "The family's only copy had been lost in the war and they had been looking for another copy for close to 50 years," Purdy said. There was also the time "a man came to the front yelling he found it - Crusoe of Lonesome Lake," he remembered. The man was waving the book in Purdy's face ... he had been looking for the read for 40 years. In May 2016, The Book Gallery lost approximately 80,000 books in a fire at the Olde Barracks, located just outside of Carleton Place. For years, Purdy rented space in the building.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS HIRES NEW CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com

Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille, who chaired the May 7 council meeting in Lowry's absence, was pleased the municipality would be getting back down to business. "I'm really excited that he's coming here ... hopefully we can get a backlog of business done here. Staff have been very busy and short-handed," he remarked. Coun. Bev Holmes acknowledged the efforts of interim CAO Shawna Stone, the municipality's clerk, who has been serving in the role since last October after former CAO Ken Becking resigned in November. He vacated the position in August 2018. "Thank you to Shawna. She's done a very good job as our acting (CAO) for a very long time and I'm sure it's been hard for her," she said. "I'm quite looking forward to having a new CAO come and maybe he'll have some new directions for us."

Mississippi Mills council has selected a new chief administrative officer (CAO) to steer the ship. It was announced during the May 7 council meeting that Ken Kelly has been chosen as the new staff lead and council unanimously passed a bylaw to appoint him to the position. Kelly was selected following an extensive process undertaken by council, with help from Lanark County's human resources department and CAO Kurt Greaves. In a media release, Mayor Christa Lowry indicated Kelly is "a person that will fit with our talented staff and enhance the level of service that the residents of Mississippi Mills are accustomed to receiving." "I am confident Ken will provide a new perspective and new energy to the organization," she stated.

With 20 years of municipal government experience, Kelly, who is also a chartered professional accountant, has served as CAO for the Eastern Regional Service Board in St. John's, NL since August 2011. According to his LinkedIn profile, he spent four years with the City of Ottawa's public works and services department in the deputy city manager's office from 2001 to 2005 and was president of UVH Group, a management consulting firm from 2006 to 2013. "I am excited to be joining Mississippi Mills at this key time in its development," Kelly commented in the release. "As a candidate in the selection process I have spent a great deal of time getting to know the area and council. I look forward to working with Mayor Lowry and council to implement their vision for Mississippi Mills." Kelly's first day on the job will be Tuesday, May 28.

CALDWELL CLEANS UP

COMMUNITY GARDEN GROWING FRESH FOOD, MOMENTUM TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com There is a growing trend in Carleton Place - community gardening. Joyce Clinton is the coordinator of the Carleton Place Community Garden, a role she took on in 2017. During the town's committee of the whole meeting on April 23, Clinton provided council with an update on the garden. "Community gardening has many wonderful benefits, and in addition to getting a great supply of fresh food, we meet our neighbours, learn how to garden and are physically active," she noted. The Carleton Place Community Garden has a handful of partners, including the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (St. Gregory Catholic School) and The

Hunger Stop - Lanark County Food Bank (manager Karin Nakamura and gardening Joyce Clinton programs co-ordinator David Hinks). The community garden is located at 176 Townline Rd., on property owned by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario property, next to St. Gregory Catholic School. Former principal David McGahey started the initiative in 2005, with help from friend Ray Elgersma. "In addition to the land, the school board has provided us with access to its water supply, which is really handy," Clinton said. All Carleton Place Community Garden grants are

applied for through The Hunger Stop - Lanark County Food Bank. "And any donations we get are managed through its accounting system," Clinton advised. "Karin is a great help to us, and David is the moving force of the garden program." Living locally, all gardeners work their plot regularly. Too, individuals offer time to weed the garden, cut grass around the beds and gather fruits and vegetables to take to the food bank. The Carleton Place Community Garden encompasses a quarter acre of land, with five food bank gardens (10 by 40 feet), 29 raised beds (four by 12 feet) and a 40-foot berm. "We do not charge anyone to use the beds, but we do ask them to come in and donate time, helping out with some of the extra work

to be done," Clinton stated. "We produce thousand of pounds of food for recipients and the food bank," she added. A $5,000 grant was received from the Sysco Community Garden Program in 2017. The funds were used to buy wood to build the raised beds, along with soil. Machinery was rented to help with heavy lifting, and the Hackberry Men's Shed group constructed a shed. "We purchased a sign, indicating where the garden is located," Clinton informed, and "we built the berm, which is covered with fruit-bearing shrubs." Other acquisitions: rain barrels, compost, hoses, watering cans and promotional material. An additional $1,500 was received in 2018 from the Sysco Community Garden Program. A pergola and

picnic table were added to the garden, as well as sprinklers, extra soil and a large water tank. "We would like people, even if they are not gardening, to come into the garden and use it as a quiet space or for family picnics," Clinton said. The community garden received a one time, $900 contribution from Clayton Food Co-op in 2018. Furthermore, Mayor Doug Black, a town councillor at the time, donated a communications board to the garden and former Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin donated a bench he built. The community garden officially opens for the season on May 25. All beds will be in production in 2019. "The town has made a donation of $300, which will be used to put lattice on the pergola," Clinton

noted. "In addition to shade, I want to use it for grape vines." "My goal in doing a lot of this is to encourage people to learn about food production," Clinton said. "I think we need to understand food does not need to be wrapped in plastic and it does not have to cost the Earth." Black offered thanks on behalf of council to the Carleton Place Community Garden "Projects like this add to the quality of life in Carleton Place," he said. "I think it is a great program," Coun. Andrew Tennant added. "Some of my family takes part, as well as some of my employees."

MCWONDERFUL TOTALS FROM MCHAPPY DAY LAURIE WEIR WRITES ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE AT CHEO

insideottawavalley.com

LAURIE WEIR Column

As local personalities served coffee, burgers and treats at McDonald's restaurants on May 8, children's families were checking into the Ronald McDonald House in Ottawa or using the two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms at CHEO. Money raised during the May 8 McHappy Day campaign totalled $44,440 from the restaurants in Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place and Kemptville. Kudos to franchise owners Tim and Lorraine Carter and staff for such a valiant effort at fundraising for this worthwhile cause. More than 1,400 McDonald's restaurants participated in the national fundraising initiative by donating $1 for every Big Mac, Happy Meal and hot McCafe beverage sold. This, along with each community's generous support, will in turn will help more than 26,000 Canadian families every year stay at Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada while their children are being treated at nearby hospitals. Celebrity servers in the various restaurants included politicians, doctors,

lawyers, and firefighters. Since it opened its doors in June of 1984, Ronald McDonald House has provided a warm, safe, affordable, and compassionate environment for families with seriously ill children receiving medical services at CHEO. My family has been blessed and cursed at the same time. A young person in my life has been struggling with an illness and has been at CHEO several months. He's on the mend though - albeit a long and arduous task is in front of him. His parents have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House a few times, allowing the family an opportunity to all be at one place at the same time while visiting with the ill child. It's been a godsend for them to not have to worry about the two-hour commute to the hospital and back. The two family rooms offer a place of respite, relaxation and privacy within the wall of the hospital for family members of patients. I've not only been able to offer extended support to the family, but my husband and I have been able to stay with them longer due to these facilities on site. On behalf of those who have used these facilities, we say thanks to McDonald's restaurants and to their clients on another great fundraising effort.

dren, and although the minister recognized the need for them to go off and experience life ... "they should be able to come home to live and work." Jordan noted rural residents should have access to the same services as people living in the city. Carleton Place Mayor Doug Black asked the minister if she viewed Carleton Place as rural or urban. "I would say it is rural," Jordan responded. She explained: "To me, you are rural if you do not have access to all the same services you have in the city ... broadband, public transit, etc. Do you need to leave Carleton Place to go to Ottawa to get certain services?" Black noted Carleton Place's growth is "really quite impressive." By 2028, the projected population for town is 14,780. However, the mayor stressed the municipality must find ways to widen its commercial tax base. "We want to broaden the employment in town so it is not just retail," Carleton Place chief administrative officer Diane Smithson told the minister. "We want good paying jobs ... we are trying to attract different types of commercial and light industrial businesses to town." In terms of challenges, Smithson stressed the need for the completed traffic study for the intersection of Highway 7 and Highway 15. Moreover, she noted the importance of funding, when it comes to recreation (arena expansion) and infrastructure (Central Bridge). Black added affordable housing to the conversation. "It is a challenge, making our list of priorities," he said. "I heard it very clearly on the campaign trail." According to Jordan, "so many people think the

housing crisis is in Toronto and Vancouver ... it is the second largest thing I hear about in rural communities." The federal government is hoping its rural economic development strategy will help rural Canada thrive. "Thank you very much

for sharing with us today, giving us your ideas, best practices and how we can go forward," Jordan stated. "This was a lot of information ... very good conversation." "When completed, I hope you see yourself reflected in our strategy," the minister added.

Kidd was pleased to have the minister in Lanark County "to see what our priorities were." He continued: "number 1 is high-speed internet for the whole rural area, and also the fact small amounts of money can make a big difference to small rural communities."

NumbNess, TiNgliNg sharp paiNs? Living with numbness, tingling and sharp pain can affect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life – time with grandkids, playing golf, even working in the yard. It would be nice to get out of bed – just one morning – without numbness, tingling or sharp pains. Every time you try and push through the symptoms, like standing or walking for a long period of time… you pay for it for the next 2-3 days with even more pain, numbness and tingling. Do you have any of the these problems? ✔ Numb hands during the day or night ✔ Burning in your feet at night ✔ Throbbing achy shoulder pain ✔ Irritating tightness in your neck ✔ Difficulty getting up after sitting down ✔ Decreased strength of your hands Could this be your Solution? Numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness: “Patient’s showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments.” –Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 “With chiropractic care, patient’s had a ‘significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted…symptoms dissipated” – JMPT 1994

My name is Dr. Sean Murphy of Murphy Chiropractic in Carleton Place. Over the past 19 I’ve seen many people suffering with numbness, tingling and pain and when they leave I often hear... “I only wished I had found chiropractic sooner” I hear this too often, so I decided to do something about it and reach out to you as a gift of compassion. Call before May 31, 2019 and you’ll receive a ”Numbness, Tingling and Pain Evaluation” for only $35. This evaluation includes: • An in-depth consultation about your health including numbness, tingling or sharp pain where I will listen to all of your concerns…really listen. • A complete nerve, muscle and spinal exam to search out the cause of your problem. • A full set of specialized digital x-rays (if needed and on-site). • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can discuss how to begin to fix the problem. Call today 613-253-8813. We want to help you discover the root cause to your symptoms.

ral communities. Jordan noted the prime minister wanted a dedicated rural voice at the cabinet table. During the two-hour conversation, held in the Barbara Walsh Room at the Carleton Place Public Library, Jordan asked participants to share their real-life experiences and ideas, helping the Trudeau government develop a rural economic development strategy to address the priorities, concerns and unique needs of rural Canadians. The minister's riding is rural ... "I know how important the federal government is for these areas," she noted. Owing to a cross-country tour, Jordan has undertaken round tables in 20 communities: 12 rural and eight urban. "We have travelled around the country, talking to rural communities about the challenges they face in terms of growth and economics ... what barriers do they face," the minister explained. "We want to find out from you how we can best help you." "We are developing a strategy to try and address some of the challenges we are hearing," Jordan continued. "I want to get a local feel for how things are going here." She noted the three key issues emerging from her recent discussions: the need for high-speed internet services and wireless connectivity; attracting, training and retaining talent; and population aging and out-migration. Joining Jordan in Carleton Place was Infrastructure and Communities Deputy Minister Kelly Gillis. She has been working with Infrastructure Canada for almost two years now, but has been with the federal government for 20

years. William Bond Ai, based in Smiths Falls, is using robotics to offer solutions and improved efficiency to the cannabis industry, said founder Nate Morris. "Cannabis is one of the few industries that is a rural enterprise," he said. "There are a lot of opportunities there." Matt LeMay with Labour Market Group of Renfrew and Lanark stressed the desperate need for a national rural workforce strategy. "What are we going to do to retain our youth?" he asked. "Our youth are leaving at an enormous rate." A new organization at the table was the Community Settlement Initiative, which settlement officer Conor Leggot indicated "is a pilot program testing a rural model of settlement and service delivery." Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd noted a big challenge in rural communities is "keeping our youth at home." He noted high-speed internet is attractive to young people, along with transportation. Morris stressed cannabis is another agricultural opportunity "with enormous financial benefit." Speaking on the challenges of keeping young people at home, he stated: "If there is one industry young people are excited about entering, it is the cannabis industry, and if there was one runner up, it would be finding ways to combat climate change." "Rural communities have a lot to offer," Morris stressed. "Cannabis and climate change are the prime categories we should be targeting for economic expansion." "We see a lot of young people leaving rural communities," Jordan agreed. She has two adult chil-

FOOD AND DRINK

LAST CALL TO BE PART OF SIP & SAVOUR TRAIL The Lanark County Tourism Association (LCTA) has announced it's the last call for applications to be part of the Sip & Savour Trail, Lanark County's first food and drink trail. Deadline for applications are to be received by Friday, May 25, at 5 p.m. to be part of the printed marketing documents for the trail. To date, 30 are businesses registered. The Sip & Savour Trail, which has been under development since 2018, is a virtual trail highlighting the unique tastes and flavours of Lanark County to assist visitors in planning a visit to the region. Destinations on the trail include breweries, distilleries, cideries, chocolateries, restaurants, specialty stores etc. The LCTA, in partnership with the Ontario's Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) and Lanark County Tourism, worked to develop the trail framework in 2018, and will be unrolling the trail to the public in June 2019.

TO's Tourism Development Partnership Program will offset costs for marketing content and a co-operative advertising campaign promoting the trail in 2019. Lanark County businesses with a food and drink component are invited to apply to be part of the trail, to promote their business and connect with other food and drink operators in the region. In 2019, LCTA will once again be partnering with OHTO to develop marketing content and an advertising campaign that will reach deep into the Ottawa market. "We're pleased to have seen such a strong response to the calls for participation on the trail," LCTA president Bob Mingie, said. "With 30 businesses already registered to be part of the trail, we can be confident we will have a good product for the visitor to explore." Of the 30 businesses already registered, 100 per cent of the craft alcohol producers are represented on the trail, along with several restaurants, specialty foods, and accommodations. Mingie noted there is a good representation of the food and drink experiences to be had in Lanark County, but more participation is always welcome. "Any business with a food and drink component that is interested in being part of the trail is welcome. In particular it would be good to see more accommodations and restaurants join the trail, but overall we're happy with the representation we've seen so far," Mingie said. "This project represents excellent value for business owners, with partnership dollars from both the county and regional level allocated to developing and promoting the trail to the Ottawa market." In 2019, LCTA completed the branding for the trail, with the logo and branding created by David Bromley, a freelance graphics designer and Professor at Algonquin College School of Media & Design.

The cost to participate in the Sip and Savour Trail is $300 plus HST, paid upon acceptance. This cost covers inclusion on the trail from 2019 to 2021. LCTA is a not for profit, membershipbased organization dedicated to promoting the interests of its members and tourism within Lanark County. LCTA members currently include more than 70 tourism operators and stakeholders, including the municipalities of Perth, Smiths Falls, Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and Beckwith Township.

LCTA takes on a number of projects each year, and in the past several years has worked with both OHTO and Lanark County to coordinate the creation of an image database, tourism videos and online articles to promote LCTA members and the region. Each year, LCTA attends the Ottawa Travel & Vacation Show to promote its members and Lanark County as a tourism destination, and in 2017, LCTA partnered with Lanark County and OHTO to coordinate the distribution of two tourism videos and written content through an extensive online advertising campaign, reaching more than 300,000 people.

THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM RECEIVES GRANT FOR EXPANSION ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Since 1985, the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP) has been promoting the healing power of horses and a new grant will allow them to extend that therapy to rural youth. During a volunteer orientation and open house April 25 at Fox Hollow Farm in Almonte, the new home of LCTRP, a $103,300 Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) grant was announced. This two-year funding will be put toward the launch of the enhanced Stable Thinking program, targeted toward rural youth.

LCTRP is one of nine programs under the Lanark Community Programs umbrella, which is part of the non-profit Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services. In a press release, its executive director, John Jordan, said Stable Thinking provides “rural youth with a sense of accomplishment, belonging, mood control and improvement as well as improved physical and mental health benefits from their participation in healthy living activities.” It operates in partnership with local youth centres. On hand to celebrate the funding were Lanark Community Programs director Sarah Sark, Lanark-Fron-

Heslop called the funding application “outstanding.”

“The therapeutic riding programs have had a tremendous history of success ... so the $103,300 that came for this program, we knew it would be able to grow and expand over the

next two years through meeting the needs of 50 children in the area,” she noted. “That’s a tremendous opportunity for these children to build their social

and emotional skills in the beautiful outdoors and working with these beautiful animals as we all know the value they bring to peoSee GRANT, page 13

ple everywhere.” Stable Thinking adds to other programming of LCTRP, which offers horseback riding as therapy to those with physical and developmental challenges, but also co-ordinates Soldier On for Canadian Armed Forces personnel living with post-traumatic stress disorder, and carting, a specialized driving initiative for those suffering from seizure disorders. Lead instructor Maria Holfbauer, who has been teaching with LCTRP for 25 years, is pleased to be able to help more people with the funding. “This is a whole new program for kids with depression or to learn social skills and how to interact without bullying,” she explained. “It’s not as much about them learning riding skills, but horsemanship and laying the groundwork for trust, communication and

bonding with the horse.” “Kids with anxiety, trust issues, unstable house settings need a place to be themselves and to be able to feel welcome and fit in,” added Patty Townsend, a third year instructor. Townsend, who trains sport horses, always wanted to volunteer with LCTRP and took the leap after retiring three years ago. She said it’s been rewarding from day one. “There’s a moment in every lesson that makes you understand why you do it. Whether it’s a giggle or seeing someone pet a horse for the first time, there’s always a moment,” she remarked. One of those moments that came to mind for Townsend was seeing a young girl who didn’t speak, smile from ear to ear when she sat atop a horse for the first time. “She giggled for 45 minutes and it just makes your heart explode,” she said. Holfbauer has been with the program for so long be-

cause she sees its benefits, for both the participants and volunteers. “Everybody gets something positive from it,” she said. “It brightens up my day and for the riders, there are so many benefits from social, mental, speech, selfesteem, physical, strength and balance. “ And the horses are just as amazing. They are real partners.” Three-year volunteer Tessa Schriemer said lending time to the program is a family affair for her as she brushed chestnut gelding Prince, one of eight horses with the LCTRP. “All of my siblings did it and I’ve always loved horses. “There are awesome people, awesome horses and it’s just a rewarding thing to do,” she commented on why she volunteers. “It’s a lot of fun.” For more information on the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program or to volunteer, visit www.therapeuticriding.ca.

Evelyn Harford/Torstar Owners of Hummingbird Chocolate, Erica and Drew Gilmour, are bringing chocolate back to the former Hershey chocolate factory through their partnership with Tweed.

HUMMINGBIRD CHOCOLATE PARTNERS WITH TWEED EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Chocolate is once again flowing at the former Hershey factory. But this time, there’s an extra ingredient that’s expected to be added: cannabis. Almonte chocolate makers, Erica and Drew Gilmour, owners of Hummingbird Chocolate, are in the factory bringing their high-quality confections into the world of cannabis in a partnership with Tweed — something first announced last summer. It’s a match that’s brining the nostalgia and heritage of chocolate back to Smiths Falls. “We’ll be making Hummingbird quality chocolate here,” said Erica, in a pre-

sentation at the Lanark County Tourism Association’s annual general meeting. “It’s been really exciting times. It’s a whole new world.” Erica said Hummingbird enthusiastically jumped on board when approached by Tweed. “We said, ‘1000 times yes,’” she said. Erica said the equipment used by Hershey is still there. “You can still look down and see all of the chocolate equipment when you walk along the high line,” she said. “You can see it through the window there.” Erica said that if people come back in another few months there’ll be chocolate being made in the factory ahead of the legaliza-

tion of cannabis edibles expected this October. Erica and Drew set the record straight: they haven’t been bought out by Tweed and they’re still producing chocolate in Almonte, just as they always have. Tweed is planning a soft launch when the chocolate is flowing. Former Hershey employees are expected to be involved. “Having chocolate come back to this factory is unbelievable,” said Jennifer White, senior communications advisor with Canopy Growth Corporation. “It’s going to be a really nice moment.” Until legislation on cannabis edibles is passed by the Canadian government, the chocolate won’t include cannabis.

tening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

ALMONTE STUDENT RECOGNIZED FOR ACTS OF SERVICE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com There’s a simple reason why Carter Reid likes to help others — it makes him feel happy. The grade 8 student at Holy Name of Mary Catholic School was recognized by Mississippi Mills council May 7 for his acts of service within his school and the community. “I just like whenever I can make other people

happy,” Reid said after receiving a certificate from Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille. “What a great young man,” added Minnille. Reid has taken on a mentorship role at Holy Name, first using his computer skills to help other students learn. He’s also heavily involved in the school’s eco-initiatives and kicked off a campaign at the school to install two water bottle filling sta-

tions. He and classmates got together to sell rainbow bracelets and eventually raised $6,000. “We just had a water fountain and most of the class bought water bottles. I showed them how to bring reusable bottles for the benefit of the school and the benefit of the environment,” he remarked. With one filling station earmarked, the Ontario Clean Water Agency got wind of Reid’s efforts and

matched funds to have a second one installed. Reid said he’s proud to see students using them every day. “Every month, thousands of plastic water bottles are saved. I look at what’s happening with our environment and if I can try to help, maybe other people will catch on and do it too,” he said. Most recently, he learned of a provincial initiative the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 in Almonte has taken on, where pop tabs are being collected to fund wheelchairs for those in need. “I just started doing it this year, but I’ll do it for as long as I can,” Reid said, noting he’s collected approximately 40,000 tabs so far. Fourteen million are needed to purchase one wheelchair. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario also recently singled out Reid for his efforts, presenting him with a Bravo award, given to students who serve as role models through kindness and positive contributions in their school. Mom Sara Reid and stepfather Jeff Hinz are continually amazed by Reid’s selflessness. “He blows me away with

The worst thing that can happen is nothing,” he commented. “If you want to do something good, just start it.” Anyone who would like to support Reid’s efforts in collecting pop tabs can drop them off at Holy Name of Mary Catholic School (110 Paterson Street) or at the legion (100 Bridge Street).

BECKWITH STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT MORE THAN MONEY THROUGH CHAMBER PROGRAM Four volunteers from the chamber of commerce presented to almost 60 Beckwith Public School students. The volunteers received training on the curriculum through the chamber offices, and volunteered their time. It's rewarding for these volunteers to see the impact they're having on the students, visible through the student's engagement and their excitement as we worked through the curriculum. These chamber members are contributing to and shaping the Carleton Place of tomorrow. The volunteers who presented included Lori Cavanagh, Thomas Cavanagh Construction; Dave Hands, Small Business Consulting; Joe Scipioni, mortgage agent, Mortgage Alliance; and Cathy Reside, The Good Food Tour. The chamber is doing another

financial literacy presentation at Notre Dame High School (NDHS) in Carleton Place on April 10, where eight volunteers will present a program titled "Economics for Success" to all of NDHS' Grade 8 students. In the coming semesters and years, the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce hopes to expand its offerings of financial literacy curriculum. We are excited to partner with the Town of Carleton Place on this initiative in local schools. If any school or parent would like to learn more about the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce AIM project, they should contact us at 613-257-1976 or visit us at 170 Bridge St., Carleton Place.

Recently, as part of its AIM entrepreneurship and financial literacy initiative, the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce presented the Junior Achievement Program "More Than Money" to Grade 4 students at Beckwith Public School. "More Than Money" is a one-day program for grades three to four, which identifies the role of money in everyday life, encourages sound financial choices and discusses practical applications such as bank accounts, deposits/withdrawals and how to earn money. This curriculum gives students an advantage by providing real world opportunities and skills not taught in schools. It also gives students the chance to meet local business leaders and hear their firsthand knowledge and experience.

LEGION TO MARK 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY AND BATTLE OF NORMANDY PARADE AND CENOTAPH CEREMONY ON TAP TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place is commemorating D-Day and the Battle of Normandy on June 8 with a short parade and cenotaph ceremony. "On June 6, it is the 75th

anniversary of D-Day and the landing of our Canadian troops at Juno Beach in Normandy during the Second World War," Ron Goebel told the Canadian Gazette. Goebel is chairman of Ontario Command, and he is a longtime member of the local legion. On Saturday, parade participants will form up outside the town hall on Mill Street at 11:15 p.m., with the procession kicking off at 11:30 a.m.

The parade's commander is branch 192 President Peter Schaffer, leading the legion's colour party, members of Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) 211 Lanark and any veterans who would like to participate. "We also invite local organizations to take part in our parade and ceremony," Goebel stated. Leaving from the town hall, the parade will move along Beckwith Street to Veterans Way, ending at

the cenotaph in Memorial Park. Taking the salute for the parade: newly elected Ontario Command President Garry Pond and incoming Deputy District G Commander George Wood. Both Pond and Wood are branch 192 members. "Members of RCSCC 211 Lanark will form a sentry at the cenotaph during the commemorative ceremony," Goebel noted. Afterward, the parade will make its way back to the town hall.

Canadians played a vital role in the Allied invasion of Normandy, helping to liberate Western Europe from Nazi Germany. The Battle of Normandy lasted from June to August 1944. Nearly 150,000 Allied troops landed or parachuted into the invasion area on D-Day, including 14,000 Canadians at Juno Beach. According to the Veteran Affairs Canada, "some 359 Canadian soldiers were killed on D-Day

alone, and a total of more than 5,000 of our men would die during the twoand-a-half-months of fighting in Normandy." Goebel stressed, "This is a monumental Second World War anniversary, and we at branch 192 are proud to be commemorating a part of our Canadian history through this parade and ceremony." The Normandy landings have been called the beginning of the end of war in Europe.

WHERE'S FRANKTOWN? RUN MARKS 15 YEARS JONATHAN MULVIHILL jmulvihill@metroland.com The 15th annual "Where's Franktown?" run, hosted by the Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) took place on May 11. The event began in 2004 at the CCA to promote student health and physical activity but quickly turned into a community event after the school decided to invite local people to participate. There were runners of all ages, from young children who ran in the 1 kilo-

metre event to the elderly. "We've had a great turnout this year. About 300 participants have come out to support our school," said CCA principal Tom Bourne. "This event encourages runners of all ages to participate and all proceeds go to the CCA." Many runners came from as far away as Ottawa for the CCA event. "I've been employed with Carleton University for the past four years, and a colleague recommended this run to me," said Carleton librarian David Sharp.

"My kids participated years ago, one is actually running this year, and it's nice supporting a fundraiser." The event offered four races and four scenic flat routes for runners to attempt their personal best times. The 1 kilometre run is a family-friendly walk/ run that started beside the CAA property on Irvine Road. The 5K, 10K and 15K runs all started and finished on Church Street in Franktown. These longer treks ran on country roads throughout the scenic Franktown countryside.

Jonathan Mulvihill/Torstar Many participants gather together to support the "Where's Franktown?" run on May 11. Runners had the option of the 15 km, 10km or 5km run, with a 1km run set up for families and young children.

OPINION

EVERY SPRING WOULD BRING NEW LIFE TO MOTHER LONG, DREARY WINTERS WERE ALWAYS DIFFICULT DURING 1930S, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

insideottawavalley.com

The ditches had dried up. The fields were ready to plant. Each day I could feel the warmth of spring all around us. With the coming of the longer, sunny days, Mother became a different person. All winter, it was like someone had pulled a window-blind over her face, only occasionally letting in a bit of light. For the

most part when the days and nights were dark and dreary, it was like Mother was waiting for something good to happen. And then the winter was over, and spring was here at last. Audrey and I were sitting alone on the swing in the grape arbour. Buds were just starting to come out, and soon there would be enough leaf-cover to make a haven for us outside where we could eat a meal and get away from the hot sun, or the steaming kitchen. I could hear Mother, through the opened window, singing a wordless tune, and the sounds of pots scraping on the Findlay Oval, and dishes against dishes. A feeling of complete contentment settled over me, but I wondered about Mother's change at the end of winter and the com-

ing of spring. I asked Audrey if she, so much older and so much wiser than I, noticed it too, or was it just my imagination. My sister paused for a few minutes, as she gathered her thoughts. "It's in the wintertime she misses New York the most," she said. Much of her answer escaped me ... much beyond the reasoning of a five or six-year-old. But I listened anyway. "She feels shut out from the rest of the world out here in Northcote, because the car is in the drive shed up on blocks, it's a long, cold trip into Renfrew in the cutter, so she only goes in on Saturdays to deliver her eggs." She paused again, and I thought that was the end of it. But she went on. "Did you ever notice how she reads and rereads

that Philadelphia Inquirer paper that comes in the mail? Well, that connects her with everything going on in the place she left to come to live here in Northcote. She gets lonesome for her friend Rosie, and I think she feels trapped in the winter ... looking out at so much snow, and she worries about fire burning the house down, and her relatives in Ottawa who can't come out to visit. So, you see, Mary, winter isn't the best time for our Mother." I felt the utmost contentment knowing that winter was behind us, and that Mother would once again be her happy and contented self. Her seeds had come from her order to the Steele-Briggs catalogue, and were starting to sprout in the little square boxes on a table beside the back door. The

rolled-up braided rug had been removed from the parlour door where it had been since the first blasts of winter, and we could now sit on the horsehair settee and look at picture albums or read. Soon the spring housecleaning would begin ... the kitchen curtains washed and starched, and the braided rugs hung on the fence outside and beaten with the broom and rolled up for the summer. The sun had risen overhead and was beating down through the vines of the grape arbour, and I could feel myself dozing

off, leaning against my sister. And I was overcome with a feeling of joy and contentment. Mother was back ... everything was right in my world. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

JUST ASKING: CHRISTA LOWRY TARA GESNER LEARNS MORE ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI MILLS MAYOR TARA GESNER Column

JUST ASKING presents a local personality with 20 questions, giving Almonte Carleton Place Canadian Gazette readers an opportunity to learn something different about him or her. This newspaper reached out to Mississippi Mills Mayor Christa Lowry for this edition of JUST ASKING. Her answers are below. Invisibility or super strength? Lowry: Super strength

so I can move the furniture around whenever I want. Fill in the blank: Mississippi Mills is _____. Lowry: ... an awfully long name when spelling out my email address to someone over the phone. Favourite holiday? Lowry: The Christmas season ... the lights, the music, the traditions and the story. Seeing friends and family. Being blissfully confused about what day it is between Boxing Day and the new year. Would you rather be able to speak every language in the world or be able to talk to animals? Lowry: Speak every language. Animals are very communicative, if you pay attention. First celebrity crush? Lowry: Really no idea. Hans Solo (maybe). If you could travel back in time, what period would you go to?

ind your

PERFECT matcH! Find your

Lowry: Three minutes ago so I could change some of my answers. What is something you could eat for a week straight? Lowry: Arugula salad with goat cheese. Would you rather be besties with Justin Trudeau or Justin Beiber? Lowry: I HAVE TO CHOOSE? What accomplishment are you most proud of ? Lowry: The dedication and commitment it took to master the trumpet. I ended up receiving two masters degrees and still play professionally, time permitting! If you could have personally witnessed anything, what would it have been? Lowry: When Gustav Mahler conducted the premier of his Symphony No. 8 in 1910, eight months before his death. One thousand musicians on stage. Standing ovation for over 20 minutes. A groundbreaking

masterpiece. Mountains or the beach? Lowry: Mountains. What is one song you really relate to? Lowry: Super unconventional, but I would have to say Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2 or Symphony No. 8.

What was your favourite toy growing up? Lowry: Lego for sure. If you had to be a vegetable, which vegetable would you least like to be? Lowry: Curly kale. Nobody likes a show off. If you had one hour left to live what would you do?

LAWS SHOWCASES 2 MALE FELINES AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION The Lanark Animal Welfare Society has two male cats to showcase this week. Meet Fredson, whose looks are as unique as his name! This adorable sixmonth-old, neutered male loves getting attention from anyone he can and he rewards them with nonstop purring! You will fall in love with his cream and

buff coat and his aqua eyes and want to give him a forever home. Come and meet Fredson at the shelter. Meet Sam, a grey and white, two-year-old, neutered male. Don't let his rough tough exterior fool you, he'll greet you with a little raspy, growly purr at first, but we've since figured out that's how he says

"hello." Once he gets to know you and is comfortable, he is a big purring marshmallow who loves to be petted. Come and meet Sam at the shelter. If anyone has any spare time and knows one end of a hammer from the other, LAWS is looking for some volunteer help with the finishing aspects of the new

addition. Please give the shelter a call at 613-283-9308 for more information. LAWS would like to thank all the generous people who have dropped off items and/or donated money to help out our fur babies. We also had a great turnout at Festival of the Maples in Perth so thank you very much to everyone

OPINION

TOUR OF SUN STUDIO HEAVY ON ROCK NOSTALGIA 'QUITE THE MECCA FOR MUSIC LOVERS': JEFF MAGUIRE JEFF MAGUIRE Column

In the far southwest corner of Tennessee is the city of Memphis, one of two major music centres in the state. At 706 Union Ave. in downtown Memphis there is a small, wedge-shaped brick building which, without the large guitar hanging like a billboard out front and an identifying label painted on the side would be just another nondescript structure in the heart of the city. This particular site however has a very spe-

cial significance for music fans. In early January 1950 a man named Sam Phillips opened a recording studio in the building. He called the premises Memphis Recording Service. It shared the premises with Sun Records, Phillips' recording label. The following year a musical act known as Jackie Brenston and the Delta Cats recorded a song entitled Rocket 88 in the small studio. Rocket 88 is said to be the first rock and roll recording in music history. In turn that led management at what is now called Sun Studio to claim status as the "Birthplace of Rock and Roll." It is a claim that resonates around the world to this day prompting untold thousands of rock and roll fans to tour the studio and museum. After Elvis

Presley's estate Graceland and busy Beale Street, Sun Studio is arguably the third most prominent location in Memphis. In early March following a lengthy tour of Graceland and its surrounds Kathleen and I, in the company of our English friends Martin and Wendy Ireton, spent an enjoyable 90 minutes at Sun Studio. During our tour we saw many photos and artifacts related to blues music. The museum features a large photograph of Sam Phillips at the console in his beloved recording studio. From 1953 to 1958 Phillips passionately pursued his original dream to record blues music. The blues artists who began their careers at 706 Union Ave. included Bobby "Blue" Bland, James "Lit-

tle Milton" Campbell, James Cotton, "Big" Walter Horton, Auburn "Pat" Hare, Junior Parker and countless others. The incomparable B.B. King also launched his long and highly successful career by recording at Sun Studio. With the recording of Rocket 88 and the birth of rock and roll a whole new genre emerged from Sun Studio and took the world by storm. Leading the way was Tupelo, Miss. native Elvis Presley, the acknowledged "King of Rock and Roll." In 1954 Phillips' Sun Records released the King's first record That's All Right. The rest is history! Presley's career skyrocketed and Phillips' record label benefited hugely from his success. A tour of the small structure is a study in the

evolution of modern music. Sun Studio introduced so many wellknown entertainers from many musical genres. In addition generations of singers and musicians have been inspired by those who recorded there and especially by the songs Elvis first recorded for Sun Records. The most prominent photograph on display in the building features what is called "the Million Dollar Quartet." In fact the studio excursion is called the Million Dollar Quartet Music Tour. The photo was taken at

Sun Studio on Dec. 4, 1956 during an impromptu recording session. In the picture Elvis is seated at the keyboard looking up at, from left to right, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. As devoted rock music fans our visit is something we'll never forget. The legendary Sun Studio is open to the public seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont. He has been writing for community and daily newspapers in Ontario since 1971. He can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Susan McCuan-Harron photo Arklan Community Public School participated in the national Music Monday initiative May 6. Pictured, Mrs. Thurston's grade 4/5 class performd the song 'Best Day of My Life' with song, dance and ukulele playing.

ARKLAN STUDENTS CELEBRATE FREEDOM THROUGH MUSIC For the sixth time in as many years, the students and staff of Arklan Community Public School joined with students and educators across Canada and the world to celebrate Music Monday on May 6. Music Monday is the world's largest single event dedicated to raising awareness for music education. Each year, hundreds of thousands of students, educators, and music makers participate at the same time in a nationwide concert performance of an original song written by a Canadian artist, to show how important music education is in the lives of our young people and to show the fun they have in making music. The Arklan School Choir kicked off our Music Monday concert on Monday, May 6 at 12:45 p.m. They sang the iconic Hymn to Freedom, with music by Canada's celebrated pianist, Oscar Peterson and lyrics by Harriette Hamilton, which exemplifies a deep desire for respect and equality among all people living in Canada, united as a peaceful nation. Peterson was very disappointed when he noticed that the racism he experienced while travelling in certain parts of the United States during the peak of

the Civil Rights Movement, was also present here in Canada. In 1962, Peterson composedHymn to Freedom, while recording one of his most popular albums, Night Train. Hamilton wrote lyrics to the song the following year, perfectly fitting with the message of freedom that Peterson wanted his music to convey. It wasn't long before Hymn to Freedom was adopted as an unofficial anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. The remainder of the Music Monday concert fit in with the theme of hopes and dreams dreams for the future, for peace, for freedom, and to be able to use our talents and imagination to do our best in the world. The choir and students from all junior kindergarten to Grade 6 classes sang, played instruments and danced to songs about these hopes and dreams. Through our Music Monday concerts, we hope that the public will actively support quality music education. Go to coalitioncanada.ca for more details on how you can help.

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!

BR+E PROJECT VOLUNTEERS EXCEED GOALS Thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers, efforts to hear the voice of local business have exceeded expectations. Lanark County, in partnership with Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC), is delivering the Business Retention & Expansion (BR+E) Project, which aims to support and strengthen local business across the county, including all eight towns and townships and the Town of Smiths Falls. Through the project, the volunteers and business communities have come together to help Lanark County and local municipalities better understand business needs and priorities. The BR+E project is a broad sector survey representing the many sectors and geographies across the county. More than 75 trained volunteer visitors stepped up to the plate by doing face-to-face business visits and surveys across Lanark County over the last four months. "Thanks to an amazing group of volunteers who really care about our business community, we exceeded our goals by completing 134 business visits and surveys," stated Teri Devine, BR+E co-ordinator, Valley Heartland CFDC. Surveys were completed across the region and across the many key business sectors that make up the vibrant economy in Lanark County. There have already been more than 100 referrals made to the many partners, business service organizations and municipalities within the resource network to address any immediate issues or opportunities that businesses identified during the visits with volunteers, explained Stacie Lloyd, regional economic development officer, Valley Heartland CFDC. "Now that the surveys have been completed, the summarized data that was collected will be used to create a BR+E final report and action plan that will provide direction to the county and local municipalities on how best to support local business now and into the future," added Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. The final report and action plan will be presented at a public meeting to Lanark County council in early summer. More information is available at www.valleycfdc.com/bre. Submitted by Lanark County
