TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Come celebrate Pride with all the colours of the rainbow. Carleton Place will celebrate Pride Week from July 14 to 20, with a festival taking place on the last day. Representing LGBT CP, Paolo Villa and Angie Mills attended the town's committee of the whole meeting on May 14, updating council on the group's plans to commemorate Pride in 2019. Too, they had a special request. "Basically, we want the (rainbow) flag up," Villa noted. Many see the rainbow flag as a symbol of freedom, diversity, equality, hope and strength. "We would like to see it raised for the month of July," Mills said. Carleton Place raised the flag at town hall for the first time in 2018. Then Mayor Louis Antonakos noted: "Raising the rainbow flag shows Carleton Place is a welcoming, diverse and inclusive community, no matter how you identify yourself or who you love." The flag flew at the town hall from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1. The inaugural Pride festival in Carleton
Place took place on Sept. 29 at the Market Square, featuring a lip sync challenge, DJ, vendor market and so much more. "When the flag went up last year, it was a gorgeous day ... the sun was shining," Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond stated. The atmosphere was definitely celebratory, he noted. Council suggested flying the rainbow flag at town hall as early as July 5. "We came here tonight because we were originally going to ask for a rainbow walkway," Mills advised. However, the more LGBT CP members looked into the cost of having a festive crosswalk, in addition to the logistics, the more impractical it seemed. "What about doing something temporary?" Coun. Toby Randell asked. "Decorating the crossing station in front of the town hall for the month." Other council members were receptive to the suggestion. "This is something we need to discuss further," Coun. Theresa Fritz told Villa and Mills. "However, I think there is a willingness among this group to see if there is something we can do." The year's Pride festival on July 20 takes place at Carleton Junction, the local section of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail,
Tara Gesner/Torstar During the committee of the whole meeting on May 14, LGBT CP representatives asked Carleton Place council to OK the flying of the rainbow flag at the town hall during 2019 Pride festivities. Pictured, staff member Rusty Knight raises the rainbow flag outside the town hall on Sept. 28, 2018. It was the first time the flag was raised at the municipal building. encompassing the area between Coleman and Moore streets. "We have a lot of interesting people coming this year," Villa teased. June is officially Pride Month in Canada and around the world.

DEVELOPER LASHES OUT AT COUNCIL OVER FAILED PROJECT BID TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Police were called on Tuesday night following an outburst in Carleton Place council chambers by a local developer. During the committee of the whole (COW) meeting on May 14, Cheryl Batten of Batten Developments voiced her displeasure with council's decision to authorize a development permit application for the construction of a four-storey, 32-unit rental apartment building at 127 Boyd St., at the intersection of Woodward Street. "You have got to be kidding me," Batten exclaimed. "The similarities are sickening to me, sickening to me." Immediately following council's vote concerning Boyd St., Batten, sitting in the council chambers gallery, stood up and intro-
duced herself as "the failed developer at 50 Allan St." "This is a four-storey, 32unit building ... mine was a four-storey, 33-unit building," she continued. Batten was the proponent for 50 Allan St., which the town did not approve. A Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) hearing was held, with both Batten and the municipality presenting their case. In the end, the tribunal ruled in the town's favour, finding Batten's proposal did not fit in the area and did not respect or complement the area as required. COW chair Coun. Theresa Fritz called for a point of order. "I am going to suspend the meeting," Fritz warned. Ultimately, council took the rare step of adjourning the meeting, with a handful of councillors and staff retreating to rooms at the sides of the chambers.
"The meeting is over, Cheryl," Fritz declared. "You need to leave right now or we will call the police." "Please call them," Batten replied. "I would love to leave in handcuffs." Fritz requested someone call 911 and Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond complied. Batten left the chambers immediately after, but not before declaring, "This is garbage." When the COW meeting resumed, Fritz asked acting manager of development services Tyler Duval to explain why the two projects were different. Redmond immediately declared a conflict of interest, as he lives directly across the street from 50 Allan St. Although the two projects are similar in size, Duval noted, Boyd Street complements the design of the existing area.
Tara Gesner/Torstar After suspending the committee of the whole meeting on May 14, chair Coun. Theresa Fritz instructs Carleton Place developer Cheryl Batten to leave council chambers. Batten, upset over her project bid failure, lashed out during the gathering after council approved a similar development. "One-hundred and twenty metres from this site is another four-storey

victims of sexual violence, survivors of sexual violence and those who are no longer here. The Countdown Public Art Legacy Project was launched in 2016 - a vision of the Women's Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County. Red Dress Productions brought the organization's vision into being. The event was special for LCIHCS. Festivities included music, drumming, poems and a number of speakers. "We are honoured to have been chosen to receive and create with an amazing group of artists as well as many of our community members this installation that honours and recognizes victims and survivors and those struggling by the impact of sexual violence," LCIHCS executive director Erin Lee said. "It was a depth of thought, a depth of intentions and a depth of creativity that brought us to a peaceful and meaningful creation," she added. She thanked the team at Red Dress Productions, the Women's Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County, County of Lanark, Town of Carleton Place, community members and others for believing in the project. "To the women who have endured and continue to endure, who have healed and continue to heal, and who have been taken ... thank you for your courage, tenacity, sacrifice and example," Lee stressed. Anna Camilleri and Tristan R. Whiston, artistic directors at Red Dress Productions, were in Carleton Place for the unveiling. Why is the initiative called the Countdown Public Art Legacy Project? "We are imagining all of us together, counting down to a world where we are beyond sexual violence, beyond violence," Whiston said. "I hope it happens in
THE ISSUE: VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THE COUNTDOWN PUBLIC ART LEGACY PROJECT LOCAL IMPACT: SEVENTY-FIVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAME TOGETHER OVER THREE DAYS IN MARCH 2019 TO CREATE A PEBBLE MOSAIC MONUMENT TO HONOUR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE my lifetime." "In 2016, we worked with community members in Eganville, Killaloe, Pembroke and Pikwàkanagàn First Nation," Camilleri explained. "The intention: to create one pebble mosaic monument." However, each community wanted its own installation. As a result, workshops were held with residents, municipal bodies, local partners and artists to create the first four monuments. Carleton Place's mosaic was created over three days in March, with 75 members of the community taking part. The Countdown Public Art Legacy Project will continue into 2022. Lanark-FrontenacKingston MPP Randy Hillier praised LCIHCS for its commitment to and support of individuals and
families affected by violence. He highlighted the organization's efforts "to improve public policy, enforcement ... the administration of justice to help victims of violence." Carleton Place Mayor Doug Black thanked those in attendance "demonstrating the social unacceptability of this issue in our society ... it must be stopped." Beckwith Deputy Reeve Sharon Mousseau spoke on behalf of Beckwith Reeve and Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd. She called the work done by LCIHCS "beyond description." "Since Erin first arrived, its profile and advocacy have been enhanced for all the right reasons," she said. Getting personal, Mousseau revealed, "A member of my family was a victim of domestic violence, and I just have nothing but admiration for the staff at Interval House ... they do such a wonderful job."
Bequest acknowledgement Lee called LCIHCS very fortunate for the many gifts and legacies made available to it in the local community. On May 17, she took the opportunity to "honour and acknowledge another long-lasting legacy gift." "Pat Jeeves was the former executive director," Lee explained. "She was a strong advocate, a passionate woman - a woman who appreciated art and earth." "Today felt like the perfect day to publicly announce the Pat Jeeves Trust," Lee said. "We appreciate her lifelong work and unwavering determination."
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
Reporter Tara Gesner attended the unveiling of the new pebble mosaic monument in Carleton Place, made possible by Red Dress Productions through the Countdown Public Art Legacy Project, established in 2016.

The Town of Carleton Place has defended its decision to refuse a development permit for 50 Allan Street at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). The ruling was handed down May 1 by LPAT member Thomas Hodgins, who heard developer Cheryl Batten's appeal during a one-day hearing Feb. 28 in council chambers at Carleton Place Town Hall. The appeal was filed after Carleton Place's planning and protection committee voted down her Class III development permit proposal for a four-storey, 33-unit condo-

Notice to Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds The main purpose of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds and weed seeds on your property. In Urban Areas, Sections 3, 13, 16 and 18 do not apply to noxious weeds or weed seeds that are far enough away from any land used for agriculture or horticultural purposes, as they do not interfere with that use. All properties within the County of Lanark are hereby requested to be in compliance with the Weed Control Act by the 14th day of June, 2019, and throughout the season. After June 14, 2019, the County of Lanark Weed Inspector may enter upon the said lands and may cause any noxious weeds discovered to be destroyed, charging the cost against the land, as set out in the Act. Inquiries relating to Weed Control, within Lanark County, should be directed to the Lanark County Public Works Department, phone: 613-267-1353, toll free: 1-888-952-6275 or email: roads@lanarkcounty.ca The Act applies only to designated noxious weeds and cannot be used to control property standards or appearances.

County's Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP), Batten believed it should be approved. "I followed all of the town's bylaws and Provincial Policy Statement guidelines," she explained. "The PPS states intensification should be in the downtown core of all towns. Carleton Place is not exempt from that." The L-shaped property is a consolidation of three parcels of land, the former curling club sold to Batten by the town, as well as 44 Allan Street and 139 Charles Street. The agreement to purchase the old curling club land was approved after Batten "submitted concept plans and they accepted it," she said. "The town wanted to ensure it was multi-residential that was built, so they put in a repurchase clause. So the town bound us from the very beginning," Batten added. " ... I've been led here by the town. They've had a very strong hand in getting us to today." Batten said when council initially didn't like the lighter colours chosen for the building, she appeased them by changing it to red brick for a more heritage feel. With a mix of housing styles from the 1930s, 1950s and 1980s, as well as businesses and utilities, she remarked "compatibility is kind of thrown out the window ... which one do I choose to be compatible with? I don't know that compatibility is even possible." While Batten called no witnesses when she presented her case, she said
she complied with all of the town's requests including architectural assessments, environmental impact studies, servicing, grading, stormwater and traffic reports, as well as landscape studies. "A lot of money has been spent," she admitted. She stressed the development would also bring "massive improvements" to the neighbourhood through upgrades in servicing. Local residents turned out to share their views on parking, traffic, shade and density concerns. The common theme, however, was compatibility. David Flegg who lives at 59 Emily Street in a 130-year-old home, commented that the project is proposed for one of the oldest areas of Carleton Place. "Ms. Batten said we're (neighbours) not interested in development and that couldn't be further from the truth ... everyone in this room wants a proper development," he said. "I think (the property) is an eyesore. She has a good plan ... but we want something that fits." Batten acknowledged the neighbourhood has been vocal about the process, but believed her development "would enhance the area." "It's 100 m from Bridge Street in a major town, a growing town. Holding on to that expectation isn't going to work ... it's a benefit to the neighbourhood, a benefit to the downtown." Emma Blanchard, Carleton Place's legal counsel for the hearing, noted the 50 Allan Street proposal is a "very significant infill project which is really un-
precedented." "This is not a case where you show you've met the performance standard, give me my permit," she continued. She called JL Richards and Associates senior planner Marc Rivet and senior architect Marsh Frere as expert witnesses. Rivet examined the planning rationale behind the proposal's refusal and agreed with Batten's statement that it conformed with the PPS and the county's SCOP. Where the issue lies, he said is with Carleton Place's Official Plan where design framework policies outline development standards. While some municipalities have three permitting systems - zoning bylaw, site plan control and variances through a consent authority - Carleton Place has a development permit bylaw that consolidates those three into one document. Its purpose is to implement the policies in the Official Plan. "Development can be considered anywhere in the neighbourhood, but is it appropriate? That's the test," Rivet stated, noting the neighbourhood has primarily one to two-storey homes. " ... The height of the building, the flat roof, cannot be deemed to be in character with this neighbourhood. There's no way. Recognizing intensification and infill is important, but not at all costs ..." From an architectural standpoint, Frère said the proposed building was too large for the neighbourhood and suggested two or three smaller structures would be more appropriate. Hodgins agreed with the town's assessment. " ... Although Ms. Batten is very passionate about the site and the proposal, she did not challenge or refute, in any meaningful way, the analyses and opinions offered by Messrs. Rivet and Frère," he stated, adding no evidence was provided to show the application satisfies the development permit bylaw.

WHO WE ARE
MY DOG TESTED POSITIVE FOR LYME - NOW WHAT? LYME DISEASE IS PREVALENT AND TICKS ARE PLENTIFUL, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column
My German shepherd, Lexi, tested positive this week for Lyme. I'm trying to let that sink in. I'm diligent with her Lyme prevention medication, and I check for ticks after each outing. Already this year, I have removed two blacklegged ticks - the carrier of Lyme disease. But hearing those words from the vet tech was a little unreal. She can't be positive for Lyme - I do all the right things. I even spray my hands with a concoc-
tion of essential oils made specifically for tick and flea prevention, and rub her down with it for added protection. I spray myself. Lexi's annual vet check was otherwise a good one. She'd gained a small amount of weight, but it was a long, cold winter and there was not a lot of running, due to copious amounts of ice. I'd rather deal with a 0.2-pound weight gain than with a broken leg. Our spring vet visit is one where we discuss flea and tick prevention. Lexi gets her shots for rabies, distemper, parvovirus and leptospirosis. I was asked about a blood test for heartworm where they could also check for Lyme disease she's never had either blood test, because she's only three, so they went ahead with it. By the time I got home, I received the call from the tech confirming my worst fears. Lyme disease has been bad already this year.
She tells me another blood test (she drew enough blood) will confirm if it's an active case of Lyme disease, which would need to be treated with antibiotics, or if it's something she's had for a while and is not active - it may never be active. Of course, no question: further testing, please. Lexi is not showing signs of Lyme disease, like a fever, loss of appetite, reduced energy or lameness. If it's not active, we'll check again in six months. Monthly doses a chewable treatment is the course of action at this point. Be diligent with tick checks. If caught early, your dog can live a long and healthy life. Laurie Weir is the news editor for the Smiths Falls Record News and the Perth Courier. She can be reached at ljweir@metroland.com, when she's not checking for ticks.

THE ISSUE: HEALTH UNITS ARE BEING MERGED AND COSTS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH ARE BEING DOWNLOADED TO MUNICIPALITIES ACROSS THE PROVINCE. LOCAL IMPACT: THE CHANGES WILL COST SMITHS FALLS TAXPAYERS AN EXTRA $38,406 IN 2019.
Desmond Devoy/Metroland Dr. Paula Stewart, medical officer of health and chief executive officer of the Leeds, Grenville, and Lanark District Health Unit.
co-ordinated with the broader system, and better aligned with government priorities. "Modernizing and streamlining the role of public health units across the province will better coordinate access to health promotion and disease prevention programs at the local level, ensuring that Ontario's families stay safe and healthy," she said. The plan to reduce the number of health units also comes in conjunction with the ministry decreasing provincial-municipal funding ratio for public health programs, like Smoke Free Ontario and Healthy Smiles, which were funded by the province. These programs are funded at a 70:30 provincial-municipal ratio, effective April 1, 2019. The province will fund 70 per cent, while the municipality will fund the remaining 30 per cent. Smiths Falls Coun. Peter McKenna, who also sits on the board of health, said the board is concerned about the rapid changes, which came as a surprise.
"It would have been nice with more notice because it hits us in this fiscal year," he said. However, McKenna explained that provincial legislation does dictate that municipalities are responsibilities for the public health unit costs. It's just through the good graces of the provincial governments that they've contributed, he said. Smiths Falls Coun. Lorraine Allen expressed her concern over the changes. "Our services are going to be affected," she said. "You can't lose that much money and expect to have the same service. I'm watching it and I'm very concerned. I think many of our health care workers are concerned as well." This has resulted in an increase in the municipal levy for this year of $740,313, which will be shared by all six municipalities in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark based on population size. Current boards of health and health units will stay as they are until April 2020.

fore any final decisions are made. Stewart said these discussions with the ministry and stakeholders could highlight concerns that rural areas might have being lumped in with more urban centres like Ottawa, but she remains optimistic. She said changes are about finding ways for health units to work together efficiently and enhance current programming. "I'm going to fight like crazy to keep what we have," she said, as the units are already working together with a more regional approach when it comes to issues such as Lyme disease. "When you learn something, you share," she said. Stewart said the health units have been told to expect "administrative savings" but there is no clear definition. The ministry has committed to maintaining a local focus and doesn't believe that frontline services will be impacted, she said. "I am going to take that at face value and push it for all it's worth." Hayley Chazan, a spokesperson for Christine Elliot, the minister of health and long-term care, said while the province has been clear there will be consolidation, they can't confirm specifics at this time. Boundaries of the new regional health units will be finalized after consultation with municipalities through technical working groups. The province will work with municipal partners to design governance and delivery models that protect and preserve the voice of all municipalities. In doing so, she said, the province will ensure that public health investments better meet the needs of communities. Chazan said the current structure of Ontario's public health units doesn't allow for consistent service delivery, could be better

Ashley Kulp/Torstar Lanark Transportation executive director Marilyn Bird speaks to Mississippi Mills council on May 7. Bird expressed her desire to extend the Ride the LT project to Mississippi Mills.
LANARK TRANSPORTATION EYES PILOT PROJECT IN MISSISSIPPI MILLS ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Affordable, safe and accessible transportation is available to Lanark County residents and Lanark Transportation (LT) wants to take that a step further in Mississippi Mills. Executive director Marilyn Bird provided more input into the service during the May 7 council meeting. She indicated LT has been serving the residents of Lanark County and Smiths Falls since 2001 and provides transportation to medical appointments, day programs, mental health and counselling services, as well as job interviews and shopping trips.
"We're considered a unique success story in rural Ontario," she remarked. LT presently offers a modified fixed rate pilot project, Ride the LT, in Lanark Highlands and Bird wants to extend that program to Mississippi Mills. It's a community bus service that's $2 round trip and takes users in Lanark Highlands on shopping trips to Carleton Place (first and third Tuesday of the month) and Perth (second and fourth Tuesday of the month). The bus picks up residents at the Lanark Town Hall or their home and they have the choice to make two stops of 45 minutes each, or one for 90
minutes. Bird indicated the program is important for two reasons; the first being food security and the option to purchase food at the lowest price possible. "The second reason, which we think is just as important, is isolation," she commented. "People are in their homes and for whatever reason they don't leave home. The effects of isolation can be very devastating." The program would be free of charge for Mississippi Mills residents. "What we would want is input and perhaps public consultation into what day See PILOT, page 14

a week would work and would want help with publicizing these shopping trips," she said. " ... Word of mouth is what we need." Council members were receptive to Bird's proposal, but Coun. Denzil Ferguson noted residents in the municipality gravitate toward Carleton Place or Arnprior for shopping and wondered if the service would venture out of the county. "I would take direction from council on that, but in my view, we're subsidized by the County of Lanark and its people, so we should be supporting businesses in Lanark County," Bird answered. Ferguson also questioned why there are a lower number of users in Mississippi Mills. "Is that because it's not as well known in this end of the county?" Bird said that's one reason, but Mills Community Support also operates a transportation service to medical appointments. Coun. Bev Holmes sug-
gested the matter be put on an upcoming council agenda for "more fulsome discussion, because I think there's value in looking into this further." "If the price of gas keeps going up, we may all be using it," Ferguson joked. What drives LT Currently, LT has 16 vehicles on the road, five of which are wheelchair accessible. In 2017, Bird said the service delivered 21,326 trips to 1,935 registered users. According to 2015 statistics, the largest number of users of LT are in Smiths Falls (3,856), followed by Perth (2,506) and Carleton Place (1,664). Mississippi Mills had 816 users. It receives annual grants from the County of Lanark ($84,600 in 2018) and Smiths Falls ($8,486 in 2018). Those grants make the service eligible for provincial gas tax funds of which they received $144,000 for capital purchases and $280,000 for operating costs in 2018. Bird said that in order to be considered financially viable, transportation services
should recover 40 to 50 per cent of their operating costs from fares. "I'm pleased to say we do that," she said, noting LT recovered $488,500 in 2018. "Our success has been dependent on the support we've received from Lanark County, which is what makes our service unique ... each trip provided was subsidized by the county and the Town of Smiths Falls by $4.36." Clients with Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program receive subsidies for medical transportation, but in recent years, Bird said LT began expanding that subsidy to anyone in Lanark County or Smiths Falls. "It's dependent on household income," she explained. "Low income is less than $12,000 and they would pay $2 per trip whether they need to do an in-town trip or go to Ottawa or Kingston. It goes up $2 for every $5,000 of increased household income." For more information, visit lanarktransportation.com.

CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED Town of Carleton Place illustration On May 14, Carleton Place council authorized a development permit application for the construction of a four storey, 32-unit apartment building at 127 Boyd St., at the intersection of Woodward Street. All units are rentals, ranging in size from 800 to 900 square feet.
THREE NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING TO CARLETON PLACE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com
in council chambers. He noted: "All units are rentals, ranging in size from 800 to 900 square feet. There are more two-bedroom units than one-bedroom apartments." The building is geared toward seniors. Finally, council approved an application for the construction of a onestorey commercial building at 6 Costello Dr., to be used as a dental clinic. The property is designated as Employment District Health Campus in both the OP and DPB. Duval noted, the development proposes to provide parking in two phases. The first phase, during construction of the building, will provide 27 parking spaces. The second phase proposes an additional 22 spaces to be added to the parking area at a later time. The minimum required parking for the development is 24 spaces. "I think this is a good fit for Costello Drive," Duval said. "I think it looks good ... Council had a vision for what it wanted the businesses in this area to look like and I think we are slowly making our way there," Fritz added.

Planning was prevalent on the committee of the whole agenda in Carleton Place on May 14. Council approved a trio of class three development permit applications for projects on Roe and Boyd streets and Costello Drive. The first application is for the construction of a one-storey office building at 19 Roe St. The property is designated as Employment District - Business Park Campus in both the town's Official Plan (OP) and development permit bylaw (DPB). "This is a permitted use for the designation," acting manager of developmental services Tyler Duval noted. The structure will house a local surveying company. Council also authorized a development permit application for the construction of a four storey, 32-unit rental apartment building at 127 Boyd St., at the intersection of Woodward Street. The property is designated as Residential District in both the OP and DPB. According to Duval, the
structure will be built on a slab at grade with no basement. Furthermore, the building will be oriented toward Boyd Street with vehicular access on Woodward Street. The site will provide the required 48 parking spaces. There is another fourstorey apartment building 120-metres from this site. Coun. Theresa Fritz pointed out the town's recent interim control bylaw restricting the development of apartment, stacked townhouse, triplex or quadplex dwellings exceeding 28 feet in height (as per the DPB). The bylaw is in effect for a period of one year, lapsing May 14, 2020. However, council may extend it for an additional one-year period. The bylaw will allow the municipality to undertake a comprehensive land use, heritage, built form, neighbourhood analysis study for the effected lands. "This application was started prior to this bylaw," Fritz noted. "Yes, any application deemed complete by the town's planning department will not be subject to this," Duval A representative for the Boyd Street applicant was

This show is a celebration of the creativity of local artists of all ages and experiences, from novices to those schooled at high level art institutions. From past years, this event has earned a reputation as a place to pick up art from local artists at affordable prices. The featured artist this weekend was Brenda Parr, whose paintings have been found in private collections in Canada, Europe and the U.S. Watercolour is her favourite medium, but she also uses acrylics, ink and pencil. Subjects of her work include street or wilderness scenes, florals and children's art. This was her

FOLK MUSIC TAKES CENTRE STAGE JUNE 1 IN ALMONTE Singer-songwriters Campbell+Green join forces with Ottawa's North Easton to present an amazing evening of folk music Saturday, June 1, at Almonte Old Town Hall. Campbell+Green blend their styles to create one formidable indie-folk sound made of thoughtful songwriting, strong vocal harmonies and skilled musicianship. Together since 2005, the multi-talented, engaging singer/songwriters, Robert and Cailin, share lead vocals and spin
stories, taking their songs to deeper places that captivate audiences and keeps fans coming back again and again. " ... They don't try to sound like kids in their music though; no hip-hop or electro beats, instead they do what they love, which is a warm folk and pop sound, heavy on the melodies, harmonies and easy-on-theear playing," says Bob Mersereau of CBC Radio. Check out their website: campbellandgreen.ca. North Easton
Easton is an accomplished performer and award-winning Canadian songwriter with an aptitude for writing evocative, thought-provoking lyrics and melodies. This, coupled with his powerful, heartfelt vocals, delivers a listening and visual experience that is uniquely North Easton. On Oct. 15, he released his first solo album One of the Lucky Ones to an enthusiastic full house in Ottawa. As his first single Change builds momentum on AC radio, Easton
looks to the road and to performing at festivals and eclectic venues across the country - all the while, igniting his audiences along the path. "I can't say I recall taking in a performance quite like this before. Where the stories were as important as, maybe even more important, than the music itself. North has a gift for telling tales," Spotlight Ottawa wrote. Visit Easton's website: www.northeaston.ca. The concert begins at 7

Sam Bat currently has more than 100 MLB players on its growing list of clients. The Sam Bat tour was arranged by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee as part of a growing relationship between the committee and the embassy. Carleton Place is expected to twin with a community in the Dominican Republic in the near future.

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 windowblind 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 coming 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, lean-
ing 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?

KEITH LESWAY MEMORIAL SITE REVEALED UNVEILING IN ST. JAMES PARK ON JUNE 9 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A permanent memorial to a former Carleton Place public works employee who died from a work-related injury will be located in St. James Park. Director of public works Dave Young made the announcement during the committee of the whole meeting on May 14. Keith 'Fletch' Lesway was testing a water main in June 2005 when he was struck in the head by a flying pressure gauge. In June 2007, after just over two years in a coma, Lesway died in hospital. The memorial will be unveiled during a ceremony on Sunday, June 9 at 1:30
Tara Gesner/Torstar A permanent memorial to former Carleton Place public works employee Keith Lesway who died from a work-related injury will be located in St. James Park, pictured. The official unveiling takes place on June 9. p.m. It is the 14th anniversary of the accident. During a meeting of the previous term of council, Colin Hynes, Lesway's coworker and friend, and
then deputy mayor Jerry Flynn gave a presentation, suggesting it was time for a memorial. Council agreed, with Young tasked to work with the duo to make it
happen. Lesway had an eye for one particular fire hydrant, and after it was replaced, public works staff stored it away. It will be
part of the memorial. John Bowes of Kinkaid & Loney Monuments Ltd. in Smiths Falls has offered to refurbish the fire hydrant, which includes lettering and etching of a photograph, as well as its delivery and installation. The current council authorized $2,500 for the memorial, which will be paid from the group's promotions budget. The memorial and base is expected to cost $1,500. The additional funds would be for the supply and planting of a commemorative tree, as well as the promotion of an official unveiling. Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited has also come forward with an offer to contribute to this initiative. Lesway was a former employee, working on sewer and water projects. St. James Park was originally the site of the Rosamond Textile Mill and later the Canada Lumber Company. Moreover, for a number of years, it served as the location for the local hydro
workshop and garage. Today, the park is home to an international stone cairn, made up of stones from 16 countries, in addition to beautiful gardens, a large lawn, benches and a view of the Mississippi River. "I think it is a fitting memorial to Keith," Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond said. "He was a wonderful employee of the town ... it is nice for us to honour him in this way." Coun. Andrew Tennant echoed the statement. "This will be nice for everyone, knowing he is remembered in the community he gave so much to," Coun. Theresa Fritz added. This newspaper reached out to Flynn for comment. "Colin 'Spud' Hynes was the instigator of this request, approaching me on more than one occasion about some form of recognition for Keith ... the memorial is beautiful and tasteful, a fitting tribute to Keith - or 'Fletch' as he was referred to by his many friends," he said.

Hearty, Gerda Eleanor (Nee Tanner)
October 15th, 1942 May 11th, 2019 It is with profound sorrow that we announce the sudden death of Gerda Hearty on Saturday, May 11th, 2019. She was surrounded by her family while visiting her childhood “camp” in Quebec. Gerda is predeceased by her loving parents, Freda Evoy (Tanner)(Nee Lecharity) and James Albert Tanner. Gerda’s death leaves broken hearted: Al Hearty her much loved husband of almost 54 years; her cherished daughters, Kerrie and Krista (Michael McLean); and beloved grandchildren Ashton Kerr, Ireland Hearty Kerr and Emery McLean. She also leaves to mourn: her dear brother Roy Tanner (Mavis) of Carleton Place, sisters and brothers-in-law, Karen Smith, Donna Keon (Stan), Odel Hearty, Graeme “Sandy” McDougall, Jerry Hearty, and Gary Hearty (Theresa), along with, many adored nieces and nephews and a large group of very close friends whom she loved. She was predeceased by her beloved sister-in-law Sharon McDougall and brother-in-law Durrell “Butch” Smith. Throughout her full life, Gerda’s fun loving nature drew in and brightened the lives of those who had the good fortune to meet her. Her compassionate and encouraging disposition has touched and influenced so many lives throughout her long career as a teacher in Perth and Smiths Falls followed by many years of community service in Perth. Gerda contributed greatly to her community by coaching countless school sports teams, volunteering in her grandchildren’s classrooms, being the secretary for the Rotary Club and the Retired Teachers Federation, and organizing events as the hospitality coordinator for the CFUW to name a few. Gerda took immense joy from being with her children and grandchildren, spending time baking, laughing and playing. No matter what was going on in Gerda’s life, the moment her kids and grandkids walked in the door they were greeted with wide open arms and an expression that told them they were the most important person in the world and had her full attention. Most of those who knew this strong, vibrant woman will remember best her zest for life, her caring nature and her ability to see the good in everyone. Friends were received at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St W, Perth on Thursday, May 16th, 2019 from 2:00 to 5:00 & 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. A celebration of Gerda’s life was held in St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St. W, Perth on Friday, May 17th, 2019 at 11:00 A.M. A reception followed in the Church Hall.

We know you are listening from the heavens above. There’s nothing that we value more, than your love. No matter where we are or what we are doing, your memories will always keep us smiling. Mom, you are missed beyond words, for you were someone very special who meant more than words can say. We know you are always with us, walking beside us each and every day. Love your children and grandchildren

GRAVES - In loving memory of Lilian Graves who passed away on May 28, 2017. We Miss You Mom We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. All we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. Love Christina, Billy, Wendy and Debbie

With the rising price of almost everything consumers today have never been faced with so many changes in the marketplace. Being an astute shopper is one thing. Being an observant one is even more important. Because as the marketplace changes so too do product sizes! This is a matter I have written about previously. The obvious downsizing of so many products. Not surprisingly the only thing that isn't going down is the price. What ever happened to that tried and true marketing phrase "more for less?" I think we can safely turn that around now. Because "less for more" is clearly in vogue these days! True, there are still some bargains out there but that's mainly the result of the ongoing and intense competition among retailers. As a shopper today there's a clear problem relative to the shrinking size and content of so many food containers and the quite brilliant job so many companies are doing of packaging goods. A very good example is paper products. I'm referring to facial and bathroom
tissue and paper towels. Have you noticed that the cardboard centres (inserts) which support rolls of paper products have changed in size? Well, they have in many cases. We noticed long ago that the cardboard centres are expanding. They are bigger in circumference which means there is less tissue on each roll. Packaging of products is perhaps the biggest challenge consumers face when comparing products. To me it's clear that packages are shrinking and/or the contents of boxes and containers are less. It's a scandal really. I can reel off a long list of examples. Not long ago we found that a favourite type of bagel suddenly had five in the plastic bag instead of six. We enjoy baked beans. Homemade is the best but canned beans are good too. Now the brand we normally purchase has more water added and less beans. Cereal is another example. I endure what my friend Frank LeBlanc calls "kibbles and bits" for breakfast most mornings. For my digestion you know! Endure is the right word too. I haven't tried this (yet) but I suspect the packaging tastes better than the contents. Regardless cereal is expensive. Yet in many cases box sizes are shrinking. No, they aren't shorter. In this case we've noticed that certain cereal boxes are narrower. We know because we've compared them with

what we once considered to be standard cereal boxes. Too often the end result is less for more! I take a liquid antacid to combat the effects of acid reflux and heartburn. This particular product comes in an opaque container. Lately I've noticed the bottles, which used to be quite full, are consistently one-third empty. We're confirmed tea drinkers. A few weeks ago Kathy noticed the box of tea bags we regularly purchase now has 12 less. Yet the price is the same. I long ago gave up on the type of bar soap I had used for years while showering or bathing. Two successive size shrinkages sealed the deal. I now employ a liquid body wash which comes in a large container and lasts very well. There are still some deals to be found. What makes us angry is the cumulative effect of this annoying and clearly premeditated process. Is there a way around it? With governments looking to cut costs it's difficult to imagine an expanded food inspection process that would take this situation into account. Value for money is what this is all about and at present that's often not the case.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. 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!

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you are a terrific planner, but something is getting in the way of plans to socialize in the days ahead. Commit to seeing friends regardless of the obstacles in your way.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Take some time to sort through personal issues that may be holding your career back, Cancer. Once you clear your mind, you can focus fully on your career.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Sometimes the key to success is to know when to step back and take a break, Libra. Periodic respites from the daily grind can help you recharge and refocus.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, support a reputable cause or charity. Doing so sets a positive example, and you will feel better for having done so. Even small efforts can make a profound impact.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You can handle difficult situations with ease, Taurus. Others may think that you are uncaring, but you focus on the facts and not the emotions of the situation.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 If you find yourself spending more time with your social circle rather than family, you may have to reassess your priorities, Leo. Don’t let responsibilities slide.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may be looking for something new to keep yourself occupied. Try learning a new sport or a language. This is a fun way to meet new people and stay busy.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Direct your energy toward work in the days ahead, Virgo. There is a possible promotion in the works, so now is a great time to put your nose to the grindstone.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, if you have been procrastinating of late, keep in mind that you will ultimately need to get things done. Better to get back on track sooner rather than later.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It isn’t enough to simply get the job done, Aquarius. You need to do everything to the best of your ability. If you do, you will have a sense of accomplishment and pride.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Others look to you for guidance this week, Gemini. Try to lead them in the right direction. If you do not have all of the answers, try to find them.

HOMETOWN HEARTS RAISING FUNDS FOR FLOOD VICTIMS Hometown Hearts has been raising funds to help those financially impacted by the spring floods in Mississippi Mills, Beckwith and Carleton Place. "The water has receded, but the need for help continues," Hometown Hearts member Shannon O'Neill stressed. A Flood Relief Benefit takes place on May 26 at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place, 177 George St. Held outdoors from 1 to 8 p.m., there will be seven hours of live music. There will be a barbecue and cash bar. Admission is a minimum $10 donation per person at the door. The performers are as follows: Canadian Troubadour Doug Smith, Jimmy Tritone, 9th Line Alchemy, Dave Brown, Barking Spiders, Tony True and Koko & Co. "All artists are volunteering their time and talent for this event," O'Neill said. "This is what our community is all about - coming together, raising funds and showing support," she added. Moreover, Hometown Hearts has partnered with the Tots Be Growing Children's Consignment Sale, which takes place on May 25 at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place (arena), 75 Neelin St. "We have been collecting gently used children's items from community members," O'Neill explained. "These items will be sold to raise money for flood victims." The mission of Hometown Hearts is to be an emergency relief group, supporting people in times of great need, and the Carleton Place-based group wants to bring positive energy and fun to the town ... bring a whole new vibe to the surrounding area. Furthermore, Hometown Hearts works to send as many people as it can to Project Trauma Support, a program addressing post-traumatic stress disorder and operational stress injury. Project Trauma Support is a retreat and healing place for those in need. It is located just outside Perth. Hometown Hearts partnered with Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place on May 11, serving breakfast to more than 200 people and raising $1,000 for flood victims. How are funds going to be allocated? "Hometown Hearts is asking people to nominate community members who could use some financial help ... those who have had their full-time home affected, those who have had financial loss, whether they have insurance or not," O'Neill stated. "We will not be able to help everyone, but it is a start!" To nominate individuals, email info@hometownhearts.ca. For more information, visit the Hometown Hearts Facebook page.
