Gemmill Park Campus Project gets green light BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
The re-imagination of Gemmill Park in Almonte is going ahead, though some Mississippi Mills council members are concerned about its inflated budget. Council passed a resolution at its May 16 session to award the tender for the project to Thomas Fuller Construction Ltd. for their bid of $876,481.54. A secondary amendment was necessary to increase the budget by $45,275. The revised estimates for the entire work have jumped from $853,000 approved in the 2017 budget to $973,185. According to recreation manager Calvin Murphy, the amendment was to “address any change orders that may arise” during construction. The revitalized Gemmill Park will include a skate park, splash pad, new play structure, accessible washroom facility and trail access to the park. Five bids were received
for the project when the tender was issued in April, ranging from Thomas Fuller Construction’s lowest bid to the highest one from CSL Group Ltd. at $1,071,731.50. Lashley & Associates was retained by Mississippi Mills in October 2016 to oversee the project. The funds are coming from a variety of sources, including $233,995 in grants; $78,640 from reserves and deferred revenue; $198,335 (development charges for the splash pad); $72,190 (development charges for the skate park); $90,025 through long-term financing; and $300,000 from the sale of five lots to be created from parkland in the Gale St. subdivision. Murphy said in his report that the Almonte Skatepark Committee has raised $44,680 to commit towards the project as well.

We’ll have live music playing gently in the background while you share the afternoon with friends. CBC Radio’s garden host Ed Lawrence will be on hand to give tours and tips in the lovely flower garden at Temple’s. We’re also holding a si-
lent auction with a variety of gifts for table, garden and lawn. One lucky bidder will win a private consultation with Ed Lawrence in your own garden.

Local Perth high school now has Naloxone kits to treat fentanyl overdoses BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Area high schools already have, or should be getting, access to Naloxone kits. Naloxone is used to treat someone who is having a fentanyl overdose, and “we already have the (Naloxone) kits in our first aid,” said Ronald Ferguson, Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s principal, during a public information session on fentanyl at Saint John Catholic High School in Perth on Tuesday, May 2. Jessica Wigle, a registered nurse with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, led the presentation, and told those assembled in the school cafeteria that both the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) “will be getting them (Naloxone) as part of the first aid kid soon.” Further to this, she told concerned parents and staff that “all paramedics in Lanark, Leeds, and
Grenville are equipped with Naloxone.” While the health unit cannot give out Nalxone kits to those who have not been addicted, or are a relative or friend of someone who has or is addicted, she said that pharmacies can give them out: “you just need (to present) a valid health card.” While the health unit has access to the new Naloxone nasal spray, many pharmacies still have the “shot” form, but they can train you, Wigle said. However, while paramedics have access to the kits, “it’s difficult for police to get their hands on it,” she said. Naloxone temporarily removes the opioid from the receptor sites and is only effective with opioids. It works within two to three minutes, and says in the body for 60 to 90 minutes, but Wigle urged anyone administering Naloxone to call 911 first before giving the shot or spray as every second counts, and because the patient still needs to be brought to hospital afterwards. One way in which local
pharmacies are also cracking down on illegal use of prescription fentanyl, and other opioids, is through a patchfor-patch program. To refill your prescription for, say, 10 new patches, you need to present your previous 10 patches to the pharmacist to get your
new patches. “It has helped prevent the diversion,” said Wigle. During her presentation, Wigle explained that “fentanyl is actually prescription medication. We use it (in) hospitals…It’s used during surgeries for short-term pain
management.” However, illegal bootleg fentanyl is “usually made in underground labs,” and then sold on the streets, where it is often mixed in with other drugs. A pill may be sold as OxyContin or Percocet, for example, but it is really partially, or fully, fentanyl,
which is highly addictive and can be between four times to 10,000 times more toxic than morphine. In fact, as much as two grains of fentanyl “can be lethal,” said Wigle. Even other illegal street See NALOXONE page 5

Perth council defers decision on future location of Conlon Farm garage BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
A decision on the location of the proposed Conlon Farm garage has been deferred until the fall. The issue has ignited a flare-up of civic activism with the Perth town council chambers full of concerned citizens, some from the group Friends of Conlon Farm, during a special town council meeting on Tuesday, May 16. The controversy has even brought former mayor Lana March back to the council chambers. Harry Hale, representing the Friends group, seated beside March, said he had been on the fundraising committee for Conlon Farm in the late 1980s, when “a jewel was built” — a “huge accomplishment for a town the size of Perth." Because of his past experiences with local Little League, he saw what a success the facility was less than a decade later when, in 1995, more than 4,000 people descended on the area for a provincial Little League championship. Hale said he had safety concerns about options one and two, located on opposite ends of the parking lot beside the legion baseball diamond. With soccer pitches and baseball diamonds in operation, sometimes simultaneously, full parking lots and chil-

At left, Shannon Baillon, the Town of Perth’s director of community services, listens to Harry Hale of the Friends of Conlon Farm, right, as does former Perth mayor Lana March, during a special town council meeting on Tuesday, May 16. dren running around, Hale said there was “a huge safety concern,” about large pieces of heavy equipment, like, say, a tractor, being taken out of the proposed garage at such a time. On an esthetic level, “we cannot afford to lose,” green space. “There is a good reason why the (current) storage shed was built where it was … You need to keep up the high standards of
Conlon Farm.” He also charged that he had received a letter from Hydro One saying that said that the so-called Option 5, building on the site of the current storage garage, could be hooked up to the hydro box on Smith Drive. “The existing garage is still in good repair,” said Hale. “Why demolish it?” (Later in the meeting, Shannon
Baillon, the director of community services, told council that she had received a letter from Hydro One that appeared to be completely different from the letter Hale had received from the public utility. “It’s odd that Hydro One would give two different answers,” she said. To this, Hale replied that it depended, in part, on what type of questions Baillon had asked. Mayor John Fenik interjected, saying, half-jokingly, that it was not unusual to get mixed signals from Hydro One.) March made her return to the council table by asking that more time be given to study the placement, of the garage. She reminded council that she sat on the council elected after the town council that re-zoned the Conlon Farm land, and she remembers her first visit to the area that would become the recreational hot spot it is today. “We stood in the field,” she remembered. “It was wet. We were given a vision of what Conlon Farm would look like.” She admitted that, in the late 1980s, it was “a leap of faith,” but she has since seen the area mature. "It continues to be a jewel.” Even back in the early days, “it was really important to us, the visual impact,” with the chalet intended “to be the centre” of the area, and that any other buildings should “fit in,” to their surroundings, and there would be “trouble having a utility building sitting in the middle,”
of the area. Currently, by driving up Conlon Drive, “you get to see the Little League ball diamond.” By situating a garage on either side of the legion ball field parking lot, however, “you’ll have a utilitarian building sitting there.” Coun. Jim Graff reminded council that, in the early days of Conlon Farm, the community raised more than $400,000 in the space of 18 months, showing that “it’s a pretty dear place for all of us.” However, he was the first to recommend that council “wait until the fall.” However, Coun. Judy Brown, who would later become the only member of council to vote against delaying a decision until the fall, quizzed Hale on just what type of organization the Friends were. She noted that the Friends of the Perth and District Union Public Library helped fundraise for the library, “but they do not have input into the running of the library,” she said. She wondered what the group’s “function” was. “We are not opposed to change,” said Hale. “It’s not like we are sitting back and saying, ‘We don’t want change.’ We do.” At this point, Coun. Ed McPherson moved a motion to defer the decision until September. “It can certainly wait a few months,” said McPherson. Fenik agreed that it See CONLON FARM page 11

Tickets still available for Wine’d Around Downtown in Carleton Place There are still some tickets remaining for what has become one of the most eagerly anticipated annual events in Carleton Place. The always popular Wine’d Around Downtown marks its 10th anniversary this Saturday (May 27). Last year, nearly 300 people took part, and a similar turnout is expected this year. The event is a fundraiser for the Sister Cities Youth Exchange program, as well as other activities involving the town and its two sister communities. Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland, and the city of Franklin, Tenn., a growing suburb of Nashville. Canada 150 (Canada’s sesquicentennial) is the theme for this year’s venture, with specially designed t-shirts once again acting as tickets. The maple leaf, Canada’s well-known national symbol, dominates the front of the shirts. Wine’d Around Downtown will also feature live music on an outdoor stage in the municipal parking lot beside 92 Bridge St., opposite the banks.

drugs, like cocaine or heroin, is, in fact, fentanyl. The quality, for want of a better word, of the pressed pill form of fentanyl, can also vary widely. While one pill can get a user high, “another pressed pill could be death or a lethal dose.” Kelly Munroe, a public health nurse with the health unit, spoke for many fellow parents when during her portion of the presentation that “this is a really scary time. In the past, we had time to react to an overdose. Our reaction time is gone,” when it comes to fentanyl. However, she did caution that “alcohol is still the number one drug used by teenagers,” with marijuana use in second place. Parties can be a place of
will be joined by popular local musician George Chenier. They will perform throughout the four-hour event, which runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and includes seven restaurants, pubs and caterers. The participating venues will dispense tasty appetizers, and wine samples will be on offer at various locations in the downtown area. Tickets are available for $25 each at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce Information Centre, located in historic Moore House at 170 Bridge St. (opposite the town hall), as well as at the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery at 20 Bridge St. Purchasers receive an event T-shirt, an information guide to the event, and a coupon for one free appetizer at one of the participating venues. As the play on words in the name suggests, participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one venue to another in the downtown area. The idea of the event is not to over-imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers at the locations involved in the afternoon event. Anyone wearing
a Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt is entitled to purchase additional wine samples and appetizers at each participating venue for $3 each. “When you buy a ticket, you’re helping local students travel abroad,” says Jeff Maguire, chair of the host Carleton Place Sister City Committee. He notes that three young people and their adult chaperone from Franklin, Tenn., are currently in Carleton Place as part of this year’s youth exchange. “Again this year, we have several long-established venues taking part, along with some new restaurants for people to visit,” the event chair explains. The Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt will also work well for those planning to attend Canada 150 celebrations at Riverside Park in Carleton Place on July 1. For more information about Wine’d Around Downtown, contact Maguire by email at jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com or message Amanda Charania, communications co-ordinator for the Town of Carleton Place, at acharania@carletonplace.ca.

fun for teenagers to let their hair down, and de-stress, away from their parents. But Munroe cautioned that “even little get-togethers with friends can turn into huge parties that can get out of control.” When drugs and alcohol become present at a party scene, some teens may be hesitant to phone the police, an image that Munroe said the police are hoping to change. The OPP and other police departments, she said, want kids to call them if a party gets out of hand. “Police in our area have sent (this) message,” Munroe said. “They are there to help (the) person in trouble. They will not be charging anyone unless they are in their face,” like, smoking a joint in plain sight. (PDCI hosted a Party Smart information session for students on the afternoon of
Wednesday, May 17 for Grade 10 and 11 students.)

COMMENTARY
The Murdered Girls of Manchester
T
he so-called Islamic State knows no bounds. The murderous thugs from the Middle East struck the Manchester Arena in the heart of England this past Victoria Day. As of Tuesday afternoon, we know that there were 22 dead and 59 hospitalized, with 60 being treated by paramedics. The blast, according to The Guardian newspaper, occurred just after the conclusion of the Ariana Grande concert on Monday. Already, some haunting details are starting to emerge at this early stage. One victim was already identified as being only eight years old. Of those taken to hospital, 12 were under the age of 16. Here’s something that ISIS has not counted on however. They have picked on two of the worst possible targets they could have chosen. The first are the young women who were attending the concert. ISIS probably saw an easy target here - an arena full of meek, innocent girls singing along to some re-booted
Disney princess. As we shall soon see, Manchester’s young women are more steely and resilient than they could ever think possible. These are the most linked-in, social media savvy youngsters ever. They know how to make their minds known. They will not be silenced. In fact, if any of them were unaware of ISIS’s evils before, they are not now - and no one tells today’s young modern woman what to do. The second was that it was an attack on our culture. No matter what artistic merit Grande may or may not have, it is the fact that they went after the arts, yet again, that should really, really give us pause for thought, about their true intentions. In November of 2015, ISIS attacked the Bataclan in Paris, as rockers The Eagles of Death Metal were performing. They hate our freedom of speech. If we cannot sing our songs, we cannot breathe. We shall sing on. And if our young women are not free, none of us are free. We shall stand with our young women.
Only a big calamity would keep Mary from church, as she knew how to pray
T
here I sat, as I did every Sunday, in the same pew, in the same row, in the same church. Only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away from the Lutheran Church in Northcote on a Sunday morning. And it was always an ordeal for me. Goodness knows, I tried my best to understand what the minister was talking about, but as usual, I had no idea what he was saying. His very voice sent chills up my spine. I couldn’t understand why. When he came to visit, I wasn’t the least bit frightened of him, but everything changed when he came swooping down past our pew leading the choir, which that
day consisted of one man and two women, all of whom had seen better days. But one thing you could say for them, they were loyal. Never missing a Sunday. Once the minister lumbered up to the pulpit, he paused, scanned the entire church, and I was absolutely sure when his eyes lit on me, he knew I was scared out of my wits. I wondered if my fright had something to do with his flowing robes, since my brother Emerson whose imagination was many notches above mine, said they reminded him of a huge black vulture getting ready to swoop down on us. His voice thundered through the church, and his face got redder and red-
der, and soon great beads of sweat began running onto his black robe. But I had to pay attention, because soon he would send us children off to Sunday School. And the woman who taught us, it was rumoured, could recite the bible cover to cover, and she would be waiting for us, with her arms folded in such a way, that she reminded me of a praying mantis. We scrunched down on little red

painted chairs, and I knew exactly what would happen next. She would ask us what the message was from the minister. And of course, I would have no idea. I would purposely go into a coughing fit in the hope she would bypass me and go onto one of the other poor souls waiting to be grilled on what it meant to be a Christian. Thankfully the questions would end, and the teacher would begin the lesson, which had everything to do with being a better person. We were told we had to pray a lot. Well, that was no ordeal for me. Not only did we say our prayers kneeling at Mother’s knee before we went to bed, I had long ago developed the habit of praying

for just about anything I wanted, from new white ankle socks with lace around them, to praying for bad Marguirite to move to some foreign country. I even prayed my red hair would turn black, and that one morning I would wake up and every last freckle would have vanished through the night. So the teacher didn’t have to talk to me about praying…no siree! And on she would go. And she always seemed to know when the last hymn was being sung upstairs, because she would tell us to bow our heads for the closing prayer. This was when I started to enjoy Sunday School. Because each of us would be given a little folded piece of shiny paper

with a story printed inside, and always there was a picture of Jesus on the front page, which I loved, and which was far different from the one hanging in the church upstairs, which I thought made Him look very sad. That day I was very quiet on the way home, as I tried to figure out why Sunday church was so different from the days when we went to church for the strawberry social, the Christmas concert, the pot-luck suppers, and the once-a-year lawn social when we ran races, played ball, and ate home-made ice cream all of which I loved better than the Sunday church service. And I decided, maybe I See MARY page 9

Mairi Rankin and Aillie Robertson return to Full Circle Theatre. This highly acclaimed East Coast-Celtic duo were part of The Outside Track’s sold-out concert last year at FCT. They bring their fiddle and harp combo back to Perth on May 31.
One of 'the top bands in the world' at Full Circle Theatre Aillie Robertson and Mairi Rankin are a duo that are “among the top bands in the world,” according to the Live Ireland Music Awards, and they are bringing their internationally acclaimed show to Perth’s Full Circle Theatre on Wednesday, May 31. Robertson and Rankin are part of The Outside Track, who played to an SRO house at Full Circle in 2016. Robertson is hailed as one of the very best Celtic harpists in the world, while Rankin is from Canada’s famous Rankin Family, who are long leaders of the East Coast music scene. Robertson was winner of the BBC Alba Trad Musical Awards’ up and coming musician of the year, and her styles on the Celtic harp are described as “the realization of otherwise unimagined possibilities for the Celtic harp.” Rankin brings her Cape Breton fiddle and vocals to the mix, not to mention “step dancing up a storm.” Tickets for this special event are just $25, all inclusive, and are at Shadowfax in Perth (www.shadowfax.on.ca, 1-800-518-2729). Then, just a few days later, BarnDoor Productions will kick off their summer theatre season with a rollicking fun time. Donald Churchill’s The Decorator is a lighthearted bit of summer entertainment to begin a series that includes farce, a classic mystery, a tiny little musical, an
astonishing one-man show and an all-new musical comedy based on a 2,400-year-old play. The Decorator is about a cheating wife who is confronted by the wife of her lover. Threatened with exposure and humiliation, she enlists the help of the hapless painter who has come to redo the study. Thankfully, he’s only a part-time painter — he’s also a part-time actor and eager to step into one of the most challenging roles of his admittedly limited career. Directed by BDP stalwart David Bird, the show features a three-person cast made up of some of BarnDoor’s favourite performers. Chris Angel and Kristy Angel are a husband and wife team who have given BarnDoor audiences such performances as Bassanio and Portia in The Merchant of Venice, and Nick and Honey in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? Karen Bernique is equally strong, with her recent role in last February’s 7 Keys To Baldpate being a fine comic turn, and her leading role in 2015’s August: Osage County giving us both her comic and dramatic sides. The Decorator runs on June 2, June 3, June 8, June 9 and June 10 at 8 p.m., as well as June 4 and June 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door, and can be reserved simply by calling 613-267-1884. No
credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested. On May 24, Film Night International concludes their spring series with the movie that nearly won the Oscar for best picture this year: La La Land. The movie musical has reinvented the genre and features Canadian actor Ryan Gosling. Screenings are at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Go to FiNI’s blog at http://filmnightinternational. blogspot.ca for more. Series subscriptions for the fall series will be on sale at that time. Oh, yes, a long-range heads-up: on June 18 at 7:30 p.m., Whistling Fish Productions from B.C. will bring their highly-praised multimedia show, Northern Tapestries: A Lost World, to FCT. It’s an exploration of Canada’s landscapes, art and music in words, song and images. “I don’t have enough superlatives to describe this show” and “patrons were captivated from the first note to the last image” are some of the comments the show has drawn. Tickets are at Tickets Please (www.ticketsplease.ca, 613485-6434). And, if that`s not enough excitement for you, just wait until July and August.

Captain Hooper chapter of IODE celebrates 100 years in Carleton Place Balla called the women in history the social fabric of society ... “always paying attention to the needs of the community … what needed to happen to help children, and making make sure youth had the opportunity to do the things they needed to do.” “Women have always been visionaries,” she stressed. “We are part of a chain, and it is called the human chain,” Balla continued. “We are the links on the chain.” “We are lucky to be on the chain, and we are lucky to live in communities where people care enough to make sure the human chain is not only about what we have, but what we have inside us,” she added.

The Captain Hooper chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) is in its 100th year, receiving its charter on Feb. 12, 1917. The Captain Hooper chapter celebrated its milestone with a special luncheon May 6, held at the Carleton Place Canoe Club. It was well attended. “We are proud of and inspired by the commitment of our community partners who understand our vision and value our charitable work,” chapter president Dianne Saunders said. “Your ongoing generosity enables us to focus and carry out our mission.” “Thank you for your assistance, donations and amazing support,” she continued. The Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE has brought together women in Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and surrounding area, and from all walks of life and age groups. These women are proud of their heritage and traditions, and they continue to meet for friendship, fun and community volunteerism. Members experience personal growth, networking opportunities, companionship and support as they assist with the chapter’s centre of focus: children, youth and those in need. “Naturally, there have been challenges throughout the years,” Saunders said. “However, the deep expertise and local knowledge of our longtime members, along with values like kindness, compassion and creativity have been essential in achieving long-term success.” Much thought and hard work went into the planning of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE, and a number of sponsors made it possible. Saunders recognized the co-chairs of the 100th anniversary committee: Julie Sadler and Lee-Ann Legault. “The committee has invested many hours in this celebration,” the local chapter president said. “This group’s efforts make me so proud.” Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos brought greetings and congratulations on behalf of the town. “I am asked to attend many events in my role as mayor,” he said. “I am always amazed how this local chapter touches and enriches the lives of our residents.” The mayor rhymed off a number of IODE events, including a celebration to recognize Queen Elizabeth II becoming the longest-serving monarch in British history, an annual curling bonspiel and craft show, as well as the Extravaganza: Fashions for Guys & Gals fundraiser. “If there is an event hosted by the IODE, it will be organized, fun, welcoming and a benefit to our community,” Antonakos said. Letters of congratulation were received from several individuals, including Governor General David

Johnston. He wrote: “I am please to extend sincere congratulations to the members of the IODE Captain Hooper chapter as you gather to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Canadians are known throughout the world for their passion in making a difference in the lives of others. As a country, we would not have this reputation without the tireless work of people like you who have committed themselves to make their community a better place.” One of the dedicated and passionate ladies attending the anniversary tea was Bonnie Rees, president of IODE Canada. “I am honoured to be here as you celebrate your 100th anniversary as a chapter,” she said. “You have reached a milestone that only few chapters attain, and together you have built a charitable legacy.” In the last year, members of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE have accumulated 6,000 volunteer hours. “You provided supplies for the Canada Day children’s tent and donated funds towards the purchase of red-and-white Canada 150 tulips,” Rees said. “I enjoy reading your annual report.”
Other activities include the maintenance of the chapter scrapbook and helping local students by way of several bursaries, English awards and reading programs. “You donate snowsuits, support a breakfast program and raised $10,000 for a 100th anniversary project,” Rees noted. “You have made a huge contribution to your community, and working together creates much more than one individual can.” Renate Schuetz, president of IODE Ontario, provided a brief history of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE. “Your IODE chapter number is 648 ... you were near the beginning,” she stated. “We are over 3,000 now.” The Carleton Place group was named after Captain William Henry Vickers Hooper. After serving in the Boar War, he moved to Carleton Place where he met his wife, Mable McNeely. They married in 1905. “He worked as a photographer until the First World War broke out in 1914,” Schuetz explained. “Returning to service, Captain Hooper led the first group of Carleton Place soldiers overseas.” He spent 18 months as a prisioner of war in Heidelberg, Germany. Schuetz noted Hooper was released
at the end of the war, and he returned to Carleton Place and his wife. “He was the town’s postmaster from 1919 to 1950,” she added, and “he even served as mayor in 1923.” The provincial president congratuated chapter 648 on its centennial, and she also presented them with a certificate. The afternoon’s guest speaker was Marion Balla, president of Ottawa’s Adlerian Centre. The centre is a leading provider of counselling, psychotherapy, training, coaching and consulting. Balla holds a master's in both education and social work, and she is a national and international speaker. According to MC Julie Sadler, she has a strong commitment to building a healthy community, having volunteered as a board member of the YM-YWCA, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, DIVA, Social Planning Council and the United Way. “This is my third time speaking to the IODE in Carleton Place,” Balla said. “I want to congratulate you on your 100th anniversary.” She told attendees, “We are to live the day we come into … live it fully and honour the work we do, as well as the contributions we make and the people we touch.”

Vision The IODE was founded in 1900 by Margaret Polson Murray of Montreal. She recognized a need for loyal support for Canadians departing to fight with the Empire forces in South Africa. “As a result of her vision, the first IODE chapter was formed in Fredericton, New Brunswick on Jan. 15, 1900,” Sadler said, and “membership grew quite largely.” “Today, we have 3,000 members across country, with more than 200 chapters,” she added. In Carleton Place a group of ladies got together in 1912, wanting to do their share toward the effects of the Boar War. “Margaret Morphy and Mabel Hooper started meeting to discuss what they could do,” Sadler said. When chapter 648 received its charter it had 45 members. Over the years the Captain Hooper chapter held dances, tea parties, concerts and cake sales. Carleton Place’s cenotaph in Memorial Park was unveiled in 1924. The Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE was instrumental in its construction, donating $1,500. “That was a lot of money back then,” Sadler said. In 1949 the local IODE chapter pledged $200 to the hospital’s building fund. The Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital officially opened its doors to the community on Feb. 12, 1955. “Nine years ago we decided we would put $1,000 every year in a GIC fund,” Sadler explained. “Interest has not been great, but on May 22 this year we will have $10,000 saved.” She revealed $5,000 will go towards the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital Foundation, “which we generously support,” and the other half will purchase benches and plaques for the new trail at Roy Brown Park. There are 27 members of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE today, with years of service ranging from 63 to a few months. “Our motto: ‘Always willing’,” Sadler said. “If you need something – ask.”
Perth Mayor John Fenik says he will consider tax hike for green initiatives BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Perth's Mayor John Fenik said that he would be willing to consider a tax hike to cover proposed green initiatives. During the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change public meeting on Tuesday, April 25, held in the Provincial Offences Court at Perth town hall, Coun. Judy Brown noted the 2017 budget had a zero-per-cent tax increase. “If bringing in these green initiatives meant a tax increase of, say, two per cent, would people be willing to pay?” she asked. “I’d pay a little bit more,” said Fenik, before adding that there would have to be targeted dollar amounts for the intended programs. At the start of the meeting, Fenik told those assembled that “People ask (me) ‘Why Perth?’ My answer is, ‘Why not?’” He noted that, if all Canadian municipalities adopted a climate change plan of some sort, “it would make a serious impact on the stuff that will eventually kill us,” he said.
Even though there would be an upfront cost for installation of green initiatives, “we are going to save money on this in the end,” he said. Task force member Ramsey Hart vented his frustration that climate change deniers were still being given air time by the media, and that, as a result, we “still have to argue about
whether this is actually happening.” For him, however, “there is no doubt. The climate is changing.” And for him, he can see it happening locally. He can feel it on his skin, in the form of the several ticks he has found on his body at Murphys Point Provincial Park because of “our increasingly warm winters.”
He did admit that earth’s atmosphere has warmed and cooled over the years, because of “changes in solar activity, changes in the earth’s rotation,” he said. But even with this in mind, “we’ve vastly surpassed the carbon emissions in the atmosphere,” in recorded world history. He charged that climate change deniers “will
throw out red herrings … to deflect,” and muddy the waters. Compared to other countries, Canada “is not doing so good,” when it comes to limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Critics will say that we have to burn fossil fuels in Canada.
Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll agreed that “the town does have a contract,” with a local firm. “We would have to give notice to the contractor to put the contract into abeyance.” The town would likely have to “redeem” the contractor’s steel purchases, which have already been made, but the contract did make allowances “for issues that arise.” “A lot of governments sign contacts that (they) don’t go through with,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. “It would be imprudent of him (the contractor) to sue the town because of that,” delay, and, also, because this particular
contractor has won several town contracts in the past. “Do we even need this building?” asked Boldt. “This thing has been just thrust upon us.” Baillon replied that space is already at a premium, and that a “mule” golf cart, truck, and tractor need a permanent home on site, to save time and money to bring them in and house them elsewhere. In the meantime, however, until this is sorted, “we will find somewhere to store it,” said Baillon. Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said he wanted to see a permanent structure erected, and “I don’t want to see
it becoming a lean-to and forgotten about.” Referring to the earlier delegation, which had referenced the hard work done by several local civic groups, like the legion, he said that “I appreciate the work that was done on it (the farm) but it’s the town’s (property) now.” After the vote to defer, Fenik said that even though “I do remember signing that contract for the garage to be built,” he said, “I’m really glad we came back to this … (because) any time you can engage the community, it can only be a good thing.”

agreed that it was “a good thing,” to allow more time for community input, before turning toward Baillon and telling her “I think a (staff) report would be premature at this point,” though he did thank her for the work she had put into it. However, Brown cautioned council that, with the garage originally contracted to be built this month, “we would be acting in bad faith,” if the town corporation were to change the contract at this late date, and that the contractor “could take action,” in the form of a civil suit.

England’s Brookwood is unique among the war cemeteries Last week I wrote about the ongoing efforts to identify the burial sites of Canadian military personnel who either died during their service in two world wars or passed away soon after from various causes and are interred in public cemeteries or in private plots around the world. Many of the thousands of individuals involved are eligible for a grave marker from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). The organization, based in the United Kingdom, is responsible for marking, recording and maintaining the graves and places of commemoration of Commonwealth military personnel who died during two world wars. The commission has an awe-inspiring and ongoing task in terms of maintaining the graves and memorials to the missing involving 1.7 million Commonwealth service people. Included are the more than 100,000 Canadians who died during the world wars. The CWGC is jointly operated and funded by six member states. Those nations are the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa. The vast majority of Commonwealth War dead are interred in military cemeteries owned and maintained by CWGC and located in 153 countries world-wide. In addition memorials to the missing, remembering those who died but have no known grave, are
located in many of the scores of burial grounds operated by the commission. My wife and I have visited many war cemeteries, where military personnel from both sides in the two world wars are interred or commemorated. It is always a moving experience for us. The CWGC has set the bar high. The standard of care involved is impressive to say the least! Among the military cemeteries Kathleen and I have visited is one in England we found to be unique considering that those interred there represent both sides in the world wars. Brookwood Military Cemetery is located near Woking, Surrey about 30 miles west of London. A few years ago we made a special trip there, travelling by train from Waterloo Station in London. The site is very easy to access. There’s a train station at Brookwood and once off the train you step out the back door of the station and the cemetery is just a short walk away along a leafy lane. Established in 1917, the military sections are part of an expansive burial ground which dates from 1854. The Brookwood public cemetery was developed to help manage the vast number of deceased persons from nearby London at a time when cemeteries in the burgeoning capital could not handle more interments. The CWGC was established during WW I (May 1917) to manage burials
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
and commemorations for the massive number of Commonwealth troops and support staff killed during the Great War. Largest in UK The same year authorities recognized the need for a cemetery for servicemen and women who died in the London area. Brookwood Military Cemetery covers some 37 acres and is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom. The men and women buried at Brookwood died in hospitals in the London area from wounds suffered on the Western Front, from illness or as the result of training accidents. The cemetery was extended to manage the burial of Second World War casualties. Brookwood is divided into sections according to nationality and the war in which the person died. The Commonwealth sections are unique because they feature two Stones of Remembrance and two Crosses of Sacrifice.

We knew before we arrived that Brookwood contained the graves of many Canadians. But we were surprised to find that of 5,075 Commonwealth burials more than half (2,731) are Canadians. That does not include soldiers from the Royal Newfoundland Regiment who also fought for the Commonwealth during the world wars. They are among 1,487 people from the UK and her former colonies interred at Brookwood. Newfoundland did not join Confederation until 1949. The Canadian connection to Brookwood is such that there is a separate Canadian Records building at the entrance to the cemetery. The largest Canadian section is right through the main gate. Members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force were based in the UK during both world wars. Brookwood contains 2,405 Canadian Second World War burials and 326 from the First World War. Among the WW II victims are 43 who died of wounds suffered during the Dieppe Raid. A predominantly Canadian force raided the heavily defended French port of Dieppe on Aug. 19, 1942. Lessons learned during the raid were to prove vital in ensuring the success of the Allied D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. We were impressed by the multinational nature of Brookwood! Only the American section, with 468 buri-

als, is not managed by CWGC. It is the responsibility of the American Battle Monuments Commission. There are also graves of French (244 burials), Polish (83), Belgian (47), Italian (346), German (53) and Serbian (three from WW I) citizens. The staff member I asked said the Germans and Italians interred at Brookwood include prisoners of war from WW II who died in captivity. Brookwood also contains the graves of 447 Australians, 230 New Zealanders, 151 South Africans and 29 soldiers from India. To us the most poignant section is located near Brookwood rail station. It contains the graves of soldiers and support staff who died of influenza late in 1918 and early in 1919. They survived the war only to become one of the estimated 70 million people world-wide who died during the influenza pandemic (1918-1920). Among them is Thomas Andrew Knowles, a Private in the South African Infantry. He died in England Oct. 22, 1918 and is interred in Plot 7 at Brookwood. Thomas was just 15 years old. His remaining family have the comfort of knowing his final resting place is lovingly cared for, in perpetuity, by the CWGC whose excellent work is largely unheralded.

'The Spitfire Grill': Exploring the heart of a great musical Every spring, as surely as the snows melt and the flowers bloom, a troupe of extraordinary performers sing and dance their way onto the stage of the Studio Theatre, and into the hearts of Perth theatregoers. The Studio Theatre's annual musical — always wonderful, and always directed by the luminous C. Lee Bates — is a joyful rite of spring, and the climax of a season of great community theatre. On Thursday, June 1, that tradition continues with the premiere of The Spitfire Grill, one of the best-reviewed musicals of the last 15 years. Critics in New York and London have called it "soul satisfying," and "a breath of fresh country air,” with music that is "freeing" and "richly rewarding.” As always, Perth audiences can expect their own production to be just as worthy of such accolades. The Spitfire Grill tells the uplifting story of a young girl named Percy (a variation on the rather unusual name Perchance, meaning “by chance”) who has recently been paroled from prison. Percy has just arrived in Gilead, a downat-the-heels Wisconsin town that was devastated by the closure of its quarry years earlier. Percy's arrival in town becomes a story of rebirth and redemption, as the girl with a past becomes the reason Gilead has a future. I had a chance to speak with Carolee Mason, a theatre veteran who, along with C. Lee Bates, is bringing the Studio Theatre's production of The Spitfire Grill to the stage. Carolee ran the theatre program at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) for 31 years, and PDCI's Mason Theatre is named in honour of Carolee and her husband Geoff. How did she come to be involved with The Spitfire Grill? Let's ask her: "Where do I begin?" says Carolee." This is a fantastic play! It's based on a film — as more and more shows are these days — so it's richly cinematic, which presents challenges, but also wonderful opportunities for staging. The show is about relationships and redemption, ordinary people who rediscover hope and joy. You'll laugh and, yes, you'll cry. And the music is simply sensational." The style of music in The Spitfire Grill is called Americana, a contemporary form inspired by, but different from, country, folk, bluegrass, R&B and the blues. The result is a totally unique roots-oriented sound that's achingly beautiful in places, rollicking in others, but always heartfelt and memorable. "I'll still be humming these tunes years from now," says Carolee. Next I asked Carolee about the show's director, C. Lee (Cindi) Bates, and how C. Lee's spirit and humanity brings so much to every production she works on.

The Spitfire Grill in rehearsal: Hannah (Barb Guthrie), owner of the Spitfire Grill, celebrates with friends Shelby (Cait Morton), Percy (Courtney Mason), and Sheriff Joe Sutter (Andrew MacDougall) as bags of mail arrive from interested buyers. The production opens on Thursday, June 1 at Perth’s Studio Theatre
Award, among several other prestigious awards and nominations. The Studio Theatre's production of The Spitfire Grill is directed by Bates, with musical direction by Rideau Lakes Orchestra conductor Alexandra Guerin, who leads a live orchestra of keyboard, cello, violin, guitar, mandolin and accordion (synth). Emma Houlahan is the show’s choreographer, while Joan Frommer runs everything else as stage manager. Carolee acts as set designer, associate director, and "dramaturge" — a role encompassing research and development for the production, giving the cast a feel for the context of their surroundings, in this case, Gilead, Wis. The Spitfire Grill premieres at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore St. E., on Thursday, June 1 for eight performances only. Advance tickets are $25 (cash) at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E., and at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca) and Shadowfax (shadowfax.on.ca), both of which accept credit cards and charge a convenience fee. Tickets are $27 at the door; students with ID pay just $10 at the door. Attend opening night and save $5! Visit studiotheatreperth.com for details. Don't miss The Spitfire Grill, a joyful, entertaining, and uplifting slice of Americana. What a great way to welcome another spring! Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre
"Cindi and I are kindred spirits," until late in the play. Fred Alley and James Valcq wrote she says. We share a belief in collabThe Spitfire Grill is adapted for the book, with Valcq composing the oration and team building. There's the stage from the 1996 film of the music and Alley the lyrics. It won always a tremendous atmosphere of same name by David Lee Zlotoff. the Richard Rodgers Production camaraderie in Cindi's shows, not just with the cast, but behind the scenes as well." Carolee's daughter, Courtney Mason, who plays the lead role of Percy, has worked with C. Lee Bates on three Studio Theatre spring musicals, Little Women, 9 to 5, and The Drowsy Chaperone. Courtney Notice to Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds echoes her mom's deep feelings about their director. The main purpose of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious "Cindi makes you feel safe while weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. you stretch the limits of your character, and that attitude leads to great Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23, you are work.

And about the show, Courtney In Urban Areas, Sections 3, 13, 16 and 18 do not apply to noxious weeds or weed seeds says that The Spitfire Grill is great that are far enough away from any land used for agriculture or horticultural purposes, as entertainment, full of heart, hope they do not interfere with that use. and humour.

LAWS has lots of volunteer opportunities available The Lanark Animal Welfare Society depends on the generous help of volunteers who give of their time both in-shelter and off-site. There are many different volunteer opportunities to choose from. Some are regularly scheduled - for example in-shelter animal assistant shifts are three hours once per week, while others are on demand: lawn care, building maintenance and repair, participation at fundraising events. Our web page has more information about these and many other volunteering opportunities. If you might be interested in joining the volunteer team please check it out, or drop by the shelter and see for yourself. Here are some of our gallant crew after the recent Volunteer Appreciation Week luncheon! LAWS also depends on the generosity of the community who unfailingly respond to our pleas for material donations. Kitten season is ramping up. We are currently caring for nearly 50 kittens in the shelter, some orphaned, some with nursing moms. They might be tiny but they have mighty appetites and are tearing through our store of cat food at an astonishing rate. Donations of Friskies Pate canned food would be much appreciated these little ones have a lot of growing to do before they can be adopted.

It’s important to have the cannabis conversation with your kids Are parents ever ready to talk to their kids about drugs? With the forthcoming legislation and legalization of marijuana (cannabis), and all of the media attention on opioids, it's an important conversation to have. How should you talk to your teens about drugs? You find out what they are interested in. You listen. You talk about other stuff. You ask questions that will let them know you care about their activities without interrogating them. You let your kids know you love them and that you will always be there for them. Those were the over-rid-
ing messages at the Cannabis Conversation presentation at the Carleton Place arena hall hosted by the town's drug strategy committee. Approximately 70 people were in the audience posing questions to a panel of community professionals who have different encounters with cannabis users. The panelists were: Morgan Crew, a registered nurse on the crisis team at Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH); PC Gregory Streng, Community Safety Officer with the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment; Mike Souilliere, Manager of Patient Care

WINNER!
Congratulations Fred!
Service for the Substance Use and Concurrent Disorders Program at Royal Ottawa Mental Health Care Centre; Mike Beauchesne, from the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre; and Dr. Manuela Joannou, an emergency and family physician working in Perth, who has a special interest in mental health and psychotherapy. Streng said that his target audience is kids in Grade 6, 7 and 8, but he is often in the local high schools. He is finding that those kids have an awareness about drugs and said that he finds it valuable to be able to go in and have a good conversation with kids, and be seen as a community resource. “It's important for them to have good information,” Joannou said. “We have to talk to them in a nonemotional way that presents situations in a way they can understand.” Kids also have to be ready to listen, and make a change, Crew said. They may not always be in the right frame of mind to receive the information, which can be frustrating. So, just like with other important conversations, you have to wait until the kids are open to really listening to you. When you're driving them to sports practices and games, watch for opportunities to talk about what's important to them, and what they're interested in. That may open the door to the more serious conversations, Beauchesne suggested. Joannou was passionate in her presentation and in her comments on how she worries that kids are losing their motivation, and those kids may be attracted to using marijuana. “It's important to give kids “a smorgasbord as to what could be out there for them, then they will get excited and want to learn more, she said. “I see kids who suffer from what I call 'dream deficiency syndrome' and we need to help those kids become more goal-oriented. Then they are motivated to do well in school, go on to some post-secondary education or training, and if they are engaged, then they are not as likely to turn to drugs.” If we want our kids to be engaged, Beauchesne said, then we have to be ready to be engaged with them. “If we shut down what we're do-

ing, if we shut down our devices, and talk to them about what may not be important to us, but is important to them, then they will open up, and that will create opportunities for other conversations,” he said. “They may not want to talk to us when they're older, but they might when they are 12 or 13. Our kids don't come with a manual, and if they did, the manual for the first wouldn't work for the second, and so on, so we have to take the time to get to know our kids.” Creating opportunities in communities for kids and families to be involved with sports or other activities that are not necessarily the highpriced activities will keep the avenues of communication open, Streng said. Parents may not want to have the “drug conversation”, but those conversations will happen more organically if you've been together and talking about lots of other stuff. You can have a conversation about drugs without actually mentioning drugs, Souilliere said. You can also find out what's happening in your community through the Upper Canada District School Board Parent Involvement Committee UCDSB-PIC. Check the Facebook page, https://www.facebook. com/UCDSB.PIC for the latest information. “We can talk about all sorts of other things: peer groups, peer influence, bullying, decision making, values, emotional well-being,” Souilliere said. “All of these factors influence whether someone might turn to substances to cope, and if you're talking about those things, then you're finding out why they might turn to drugs.” Keep the avenues of communication open. Keep the conversation going. Make a pact with your child that you will be there for them. Then “the talk” will be easier. Christine Peets is the Writer in Residence for the Upper Canada District School Board Parent Involvement Committee (UCDSB-PIC). This is the first of two articles about the “cannabis conversation.” More information is available on the PIC's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ UCDSB.PIC.

Steak with sweet peppers, sweet potatoes New Zealanders love their beef as much as their lamb. Here is a popular recipe using a dry rub to flavour steak, which is then served over a base of herb-grilled sweet potatoes, sweet peppers and topped with grilled onion. Preparation Time: 20 minutes Refrigeration Time: 1 to 24 hours Grilling Time: 12 to 18 minutes Serves 4 Ingredients 1 tbsp (15 mL) each packed brown sugar and salt 2 tsp (10 mL) each garlic powder, paprika and dried thyme 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) chili powder 1 tsp (5 mL) smoked paprika or chipotle powder 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) each dry mustard and coarsely ground black pepper 4 Ontario beef tenderloin or rib-eye steaks (each about 6 oz/175 g), about 3/4-inch (2 cm)
thick 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil 1 tsp (5 mL) finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 clove Ontario garlic, minced 1/4 tsp (1 mL) seasoning salt 1 to 2 large sweet potatoes (1-1/2 lb/750 g) 2 sweet peppers (1 red, 1 yellow or orange) 1 large red onion, sliced into thick rings 4 tsp (20 mL) vegetable oil for brushing Preparation instructions In small bowl, mix together brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, chili powder, smoked paprika, mustard and pepper. Press rub generously onto both sides of steaks; place on plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours. In medium bowl, mix together olive oil, rosemary, garlic and seasoning salt. Peel and slice sweet potato crosswise about 1/4-inch (1 cm) thick; toss in
rosemary oil to coat well. Cut peppers into 4 wedges. Slice onion 1/4-inch (1 cm) thick. Place sweet potatoes, peppers and onions on greased grill over high heat. Grill covered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. Place sweet potatoes, peppers and onions in separate bowls. Keep vegetables warm. Reduce heat to mediumhigh; grill steaks for about four to five minutes per side, or until desired doneness. On each plate, place several slices of sweet potato, a wedge of each pepper, steak and top with onions. Garnish with rosemary, if desired.

town has been exploring include more biking and walking paths, creating more green spaces, and possibly even setting up electric vehicle charging stations. “This is going to cost money. Don’t kid yourself,” cautioned Fenik. But, in time, “it pays for itself.” By way of example, he noted the average 60-km per day in mileage that town staffers can rack up. The mileage paid out by the town could, in time, pay for an electric vehicle that town staffers could use. Fenik said that he has even phoned Belinda Stronach, whose family's Magna International runs Grenville Castings in Perth, to ask “How about you considering making e-cars here?” While he admitted that he walks a fine line between job creation and environmental action, as some factories in town added to the town’s carbon footprint, “I know that there are 120 people who are employed by Magna (locally who) are glad to have a job,” said Fenik. “It’s good when people have real, paying jobs.” Brown also noted that Perth also has an advantage over other similarly-sized small towns, in that it is only one of seven such towns to have the cable capacity it does, which allows residents “to telecommute … it’s absolutely green,” she said. One potential conflict that Fenik cited for the environmentally sound homes of the future is that developers might not be
sold on, say, house roofs that are solar-panel ready. “No,” is the reply Fenik often says he hears from developers. “We want to build traditional $350,000 to $400,000 homes, the traditional way,” as there is a higher rate of return. “Builders still will keep building traditional buildings until they are told otherwise.” “Municipalities have the authority to change the building code,” said Argue. “Make it stronger. Let’s take a look at it.” Campbell queried when the proposed Crystal Palace electric vehicle charging station might be ready. “This summer may be a little ambitious,” admitted Fenik, although “the wiring is already there. You would see a changing station next year,” he said, funding for which could be debated for budget 2019 next January. On the issue of transportation, Fenik joked that “I don’t think that the Town of Perth wants to get into the OC Transpo business,” he said. As for the recently discussed proposal of a new railway line from Peterborough through Perth to Smiths Falls, Fenik said that this spring’s federal budget “put in steady funding (for VIA Rail Canada) for seven years,” said Fenik. However, “they did not include new rails and cars.” Having a train station again in Perth “would be a game changer,” Fenik said.

We’re a northern country.” Pointing to a list of carbon angels and devils behind him, with Canada lagging behind, he stated that “well, it’s also cold in Norway, Sweden, and other northern countries that produce less carbon.” While Perth creating its own climate plan may not make the difference globally between a cleaner, greener future and environmental catastrophe, “we are in a unique position as s small town … it’s very doable in a town our size,” said Hart. “We’re not Toronto.” For example, there is a close connection between town leadership and the grassroots. Just the day before, Hart had run into environmental services director Grant Machan at the bakery. “We have access to our leadership,” he said. Task force member Sean Campbell, during his portion of the presentation, commented that “years ago, we were a cutting edge town,” when it came to environmental issues. (For this, Fenik gave a lot of credit to fellow task force member Bob Argue.) In his research, Campbell said he is finding, in national reports, “examples of what EcoPerth did years ago.” Now, the town is getting some of its environmental mojo back, but Fenik urged the town’s environmentalists to “not get demotivated by what is happening down south.” Some of the ideas that the

Volunteer received thousands from council discretionary funds BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
According to an online dictionary, a volunteer is a person who donates his or her time or efforts for a cause or organization without being paid. By way of a “self-funding, self-supporting one-person cleanup project,” over the last 12 years Carleton Place resident Doug Snedden has removed tonnes of non-biodegradable waste from the Mississippi River within the town’s limits. Many, including mayor Louis Antonakos, appreciate his actions, and in March Snedden received the 2017 Community Builder Award. Handed out at the discretion of the mayor, the Community Builder Award was first presented five years ago – to Serge Robichaud for his work in trying to make Carleton Place Kraft Hockeyville 2012. It was noted at the time: The Community Builder Award is given to an “outstanding volunteer who has worked to make the Town of Carleton Place a better community in which to live, play or work. It honours an individual who inspires and leads members of the public towards a common goal.” In addition to the river cleanup, Snedden was acknowledged for his dedication, passion and open support over the past five years regarding the importance of having quality health care close to home. Recently, the Canadian Gazette learned Snedden received donations totalling in excess of $3,000 from the mayor’s council discretionary fund for Mississippi River cleanup. The money

On May 12, treasurer Phil Hogan verified Snedden was paid $200 on Sept. 11, 2013, $500 on Sept. 16, 2015, $1,000 on Dec. 24, 2015, $500 on June 1, 2016, $1,000 on Jan. 4, 2017 and $500 on April 26, 2017. Coun. Doug Black and former councillor Gary Strike also gave $200 each in 2013 to Snedden. The municipal budget in Carleton Place includes funds that individual members of council can use to support a particular activity, project or event at their discretion. Hogan stressed, “It is discretionary,” and “the only thing I need to watch out for is they (council members) do not benefit from it personally.” For the year 2017, the mayor’s discretionary fund is $4,250, while the deputy mayor is allotted $2,200 and councillors $1,200. Snedden, when contacted by this newspaper, confirmed he received money from several council members over the last number of years for his
river cleanup. “Not sure of the total amount (several thousand for sure), and it did help with facilitating some of my medical and safety costs over the years,” he said. “The balance or ‘real cost’ of the cleanup was covered by myself as stated on my blog.” Snedden claimed former mayor Wendy LeBlanc and deputy mayor Jerry Flynn also provided a donation each towards his efforts. “Yes, I and other council members have made donations over the years to Doug’s efforts on the river,” Antonakos told this newspaper. “It is actually regrettable that the town did not sponsor his project. “From what I have been told, the cost for this kind of effort runs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars,” the mayor continued. “ I am just thankful he took it upon himself to do this kind of work. ” Paid versus volunteer Reaching out to council members for comment, Coun.

Battle of the Atlantic ceremony May 28 BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Canadians will be remembered during the 2017 Battle of the Atlantic ceremony in Almonte on May 28. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 is hosting the special event, which is expected to attract a large audience. The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest and, perhaps, the most important battle of the Second World War. It lasted 2,075 days. Canada was a principal participant, and the country’s efforts were vital to Allied victory. Sunday’s event will pay homage to the numerous members of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the Canadian Merchant Navy (CMN) who lost their lives between September 1939 and May 1945 while keeping the shipping lanes open linking North America with Europe. The annual parade and riverside service is a significant, established activity. RCN, RCAF and CMN veterans will be in attendance, in addition to Second World War and Korean War veterans from across Zone G6.
Adding credibility and respectability to this prestigious occasion, several local dignitaries will be on hand, in addition to members of Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps 211 Lanark. Retired Canadian Forces officer VAdm Ron Buck will be the reviewing officer on Sunday, and he will present the Cadet Medal of Excellence to a commendable cadet. The MC is Almonte resident Reg Gamble. Program A meet and greet at Branch 240, located at 100 Bridge St., begins at 1 p.m. Thirty minutes later the parade forms up outside the legion. At 1:45 p.m. the procession travels along Bridge Street to the cenotaph, located next to the Almonte Old Town Hall (AOTH). Wreaths will be laid at the monument by representatives of the RCN, RCAF and CMN. Too, the chaplain will say the Naval Prayer. Attendees will then move to the edge of the Mississippi River, on the other side of the AOTH, for the traditional bell ceremony. The rite honours all Canadians who fought and died in the Second
World War, in addition to the 24 Canadian warships lost during the Battle of the Atlantic: HMCS Fraser, HMCS Bras d’Or, HMCS Margaree, HMCS Otter, HMCS Levis, HMCS Windflower, HMCS Spikenard, HMCS Racoon, HMCS Charlottetown, HMCS Ottawa, HMCS Louisburg, HMCS Weyburn, HMCS Saint Croix, HMCS Chedabucto, HMCS Athabaskan, HMCS Valleyfield, HMCS Regina, HMCS Alberni, HMCS Skeena, HMCS Shawinigan, HMCS Clayoquat, HMCS Trentonian, HMCS Guysborough and HMCS Esquimalt. The Last Post, the traditional salute to the fallen soldier, is played, as was The Lament, Rouse, The Navy Hymn and Royal Anthem. At the conclusion of the ceremony, at approximately 2:45 p.m., a reception will follow at Branch 240, with presentations, remarks and Splice the mainbrace order. Splice the mainbrace is an order given aboard naval vessels to issue the crew with an alcoholic drink. Everyone is welcome to attend the Battle of the Atlantic ceremony.

It’s Paramedic Week in Lanark County By Ed McPherson Chief, Lanark County Paramedic Service This week is Paramedic Week in Lanark County. Warden Bill Dobson and Council want to recognize the valuable work of the men and women of the Lanark County Paramedic Service. This year’s theme is “Always in Service”. Our mission is to be ready to respond at any time to calls from our community. With over 20,000 calls in 2016, we are focused on the increasing need for pre-hospital emergency care and our ability to meet these growing challenges. Our new state-of-the-art building in Montague Township provides a new training centre, specialized decontamination bay, management headquarters and paramedic base - all in one location. With updates at our other base, we are ensuring a healthy workplace for our employees.
County Council continues to be an industry leader in ensuring that our paramedics are safe at work. Citizens will notice the newer ambulances with the improved decal and stripping package for greater visibility. New power assisted stretchers and loading systems are safer for paramedics and patients. Outside of the normal role and expectations of an emergency service, we continue to work closely with our community partners to identify and participate in non-traditional programs for citizens who are at risk. This is known as “Community Paramedicine”, and includes several initiatives to assist others in their time of need.

We have also developed programs to address the serious nature of our occupation and the impact it can have on our paramedics. Increased mental health care training provides the paramedics with “resiliency tools” to help deal with the difficult situations they are exposed to. Together with the Almonte General Hospital Employee Support Program and our Service Peer Support Team, our paramedics have 24/7 support. We are also ensuring we have the necessary tools and supplies to deal with the impending opioid crisis. The field of Paramedicine and the challenges faced by our paramedics continue to evolve daily. The dedication of each of our paramedics is evident in the accolades we receive from our partners and the public. If you have the chance speak to any of our paramedics or drop by one of our bases, we would be happy to speak to you and demonstrate the high-level service we provide to the public.

(they are growth related components of the project) as the cost of these elements came in higher than anticipated,” he explained. The cost overruns were a major concern to Coun. Alex Gillis. He wanted a delay so the “complete financial implications” of the project could be digested. “There are a lot of things we haven’t been able to discuss,” he continued, noting his issues with the initial cost estimate of the splash pad at $110,600, jumping to nearly $200,000. “There are budget consequences there. There are financial implications here and we’re not even discussing them.” “I don’t understand why the (revised) estimate differs by $120,000,” he continued. Chief administrative officer Diane Smithson said Lashley & Associates’ consulting fee was $99,000, which includes overseeing the entire
project, survey and tender costs. “What you see is the entire project cost, everything with the funding sources and grants, sale of land, etc.,” she explained. Gillis questioned the increase to the splash pad. “That includes site work and electrical, bringing water and sewer in from the road…all of that has been accounted for,” Smithson stated. “All of these numbers have been vetted with treasurer (Rhonda Whitmarsh).” In order to manage funds, Coun. Denzil Ferguson wondered if Smithson could approach Thomas Fuller Construction for any cost savings. “If council would like to provide some parameters on which part of the project it would like to cut back, because there are multiple parameters,” Smithson said. “I’m just wondering if the opportunity is there; if the successful bidder is interested in looking at some
ways they could cut that back to the budgeted amount,” Ferguson said. Coun. John Edwards didn’t understand Gillis’ issue with the project. “We did a much bigger increase in the application for the Pakenham library and there was no controversy whatsoever. I don’t know why we’re upset about this,” he commented. “This has a very broad impact to the whole community. I think it’s great to apply more development charges to greatly reduce the overall impact to the ratepayer.” He also indicated that the Gemmill Park committee had already cut back components of the project, including shade structures, benches, trees and more. “There were some cutbacks at that early stage to make it more affordable,” Edwards said. “It’s not like we’re going hog wild. It’s a pretty conservative approach.” Coun. Jane Torrance said that while the budget has increased,
more grant funds and development charges are being used, which is decreasing the approved budget amount for long-term financing. Originally estimated at $135,000, that figure has been reduced to $90,025. “There are some things you can’t control,” she said. “…I think that with these considerations actually we’re getting a really nice park and I think we have watched the pennies all along.” Should the $300,000 from the sale of lots not be realized, Coun. Paul Watters questioned how that affected the project. “Council would have to add it to the long-term financing or pull it from reserves that are earmarked for other projects,” answered Smithson. Despite his opposition to the sale of parkland, Coun. Duncan Abbott believed the Gemmill Park upgrades to be a “great project.”
“Let’s do this right. I’ll certainly be supporting this and any cutbacks won’t be what we want,” he said. Ferguson’s amendment to ask Smithson to seek further cost savings with Thomas Fuller Construction was approved. “We just ask that you do your best,” said mayor Shaun McLaughlin. “It has happened before where we’ve shaved a few dollars off.” In a recorded 9-2 vote, council endorsed awarding the tender for the Gemmill Park Campus project. Gillis and Watters were the only two councillors to vote against it. Afterwards, the skatepark committee celebrated with a cake in the parking lot of the municipal office. In Murphy’s report, it’s anticipated the skate park aspect of the project will move forward immediately with the hopes of holding a ribbon cutting in conjunction with Canada 150 celebrations on July 1.

really appropriate as Mr. Snedden has always stated that he was a volunteer, (council) discretionary funds do not have normal controls.” Typical expenditures claimed include tickets to local events, donations to various causes and office supplies used for council business. All council members have donated to People First of Lanark County by way of their council discretionary fund. Doucett noted the mayor approached him on at least two occasions to pay Snedden money from his council discretionary fund.
“I refused to do so, thinking it was not right,” the councillor said. “It sets a bad precedent as other volunteers who work so hard for the community need to be treated fairly.” “I believe I may have succumbed to one of Louis’ requests this term (to make a donation to Snedden,” Flynn stated. “Phil could confirm.” Black and Coun. Ross Trimble did not respond to a request for comment.
cleanup. While she views river cleanup as important, “the town should not be providing funding to a volunteer in its town budget as this sets a very dangerous precedent.” “If the town wants to invest in river cleanup and have that as a budget item, the work will need to be done by town staff or contracted out officially,” Fritz noted. “I do not support paying volunteers.” At the time, Doucett asked what the $5,000 would be used for. Additional funding requests “Simple supplies,” Antonakos reDuring the town’s 2017 budget sponded. “Supplies to retrieve the deliberations, Fritz questioned a contaminants – tires and metals – in proposed $5,000 line item for river the water.”
Doucett concurred with Fritz the volunteer has done great work; however, he did not see the river cleanup as a municipally sponsored project. “We have other volunteers we do not give this type of support to,” Doucett said. Council carried a motion to remove the $5,000 from the budget for river cleanup support. Instead the funds were split between the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum and Carleton Place & District Youth Centre. Antonakos, vice chair of the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) Foundation, requested during the organization’s
April 22, 2015 meeting that $3,000 of a donation collected for future fundraising be given to Snedden to help with the cost of his river cleanup project. The minutes of the meeting stated: “Mr. Antonakos advised that Doug Snedden has volunteered his time for the past 10 years to clean up the Mississippi River. He uses his personal boat and tools to retrieve garbage from the river. The Town of Carleton Place collects the garbage at no cost.” The MVCA’s secretary-treasurer Joan Sargeant told the Canadian Gazette on May 16 that the foundation board decided against the request.

Dance May 28 to benefit Freedom Dog Rescue Come out and dance for a good cause in Carleton Place on Sunday! Country Tunes for Tails, a fundraising dance for Freedom Dog Rescue, comes to the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) on May 28, running 2 to 7 p.m. “This is a country music dance,” co-organizer Bob White told the Canadian Gazette recently, and “I really want to encourage people to come out and support Freedom Dog Rescue.” Freedom Dog Rescue, a nonprofit registered charity, is an allbreed and all-size foster rescue that operates in Ottawa and surrounding areas. Founded in February 2015, the organization is dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned dogs and dogs from shelters, as well as taking in desperate owner surrenders. Country Tunes for Tails features the talent of several local musicians, with a special guest appearance by Pam Knowles, owner and operator of Waggs ‘n Whiskers, a dog daycare, off leash dog park and more. The day’s timetable is as follows: Andy Bowes, 2 p.m.; Dave Brown, 2:20 p.m.; George Chenier Sr., 2:40 p.m.; pie auction, 3 p.m.; Pam Knowles, 3:15 p.m.; Marty McTiernan, 3:25 p.m.; Brad Munro, 3:45 p.m.; Wade Foster, 4:05 p.m.; Clarence Bowes, 4:25 p.m.; 50/50 draw and break, 4:45 p.m.; Cheryl Adrain-Dermann, 5 p.m.; Henry Norwood, 5:20 p.m.; Ed Bowes, 5:40 p.m.; and The Band Friends, 6 p.m. The event’s MC is Charlie Kitts, a 2010 Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductee. The Carleton Place & District Civitan Club will run a 50/50 draw, and The Ginger Café of Carleton Place will be selling light refreshments. Furthermore, silent and pie auctions will lend to the festivities. “Charlie will auction the pies off,” White said, and “one of the silent auction items is a one week hot tub
rental from Cobra Pools & Spas.” Other auction items include an air-conditioning system inspection by Carleton Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning Ltd., a big bag of dog food from Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited, and two specialty pillows from local chiropractor Dr. Rob Earle. White noted Beckwith dep-
uty reeve Sharon Mousseau has made one of the pies being auctioned off. Country Tunes for Tails tickets are $15 each and can be picked up at the following locations: Donna’s Hair Design, SRC Music and Wagg’s ‘n Whiskers, all in Carleton Place. “If you cannot come still buy a ticket to support Freedom Dog Rescue,” White sug-

Pump the water, pass the buck You can see where the water lies – it’s in your bathroom and living room. You could see the waters rise on Christie Lake. You could see it coming, even if you were not told ahead of time. You just would have liked to have been told that the water was on its way. While Parks Canada may have been well within its rights to pull some of the logs from the Bobs Lake dam, for residents and business owners downstream, a phone call to let them know that the water was cascading its way down to the lake might have been nice. No wonder Christie Lake residents in Tay Valley Township are hollering for better communications from the federal government agency. (Parks Canada’s reply? Residents needed to be looking at flood updates from the province, specifically, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority [RVCA]. Even with forewarning, what could they have done? But at least they would have known.) Being told that alerting people downstream may not be in Parks Canada’s mandate is certainly cold comfort to those affected by this flooding. In my reporting on this story, I have heard that the decision to pull the logs from the Parks Canada dam was made roughly around May 4, a Thursday. A phone call to Jordan’s Cottages, for example, from Parks Canada, was not made until that Sunday, very much after the fact. But on Christie Lake, they have never seen waters this high in living memory. The Jordan family has been running cottages and a campground there since 1941 and the waters have never been this high in all that time. It cuts both ways, in that, yes, they are operating a business that makes money only during the summer months. But at the same time, all levels of government benefit from the tax revenues and employment that that brings to a rural area. And waterfront cottages are going to draw in more people. Parks Canada’s actions led to the waters getting this high. No one is suggesting for a second that Parks Canada made this decision lightly. They were in somewhat of a no-win situation. Bobs Lake was nearly full to the brim, as they anticipated starting off the boating season on the Rideau Canal this past Victoria Day long weekend (it was ultimately postponed to Friday, May 26.) From my conversations with Parks Canada, they painted the picture that they got too much rain, at the worst possible time.
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says They had to let the water go, and they had very little time in which to do it. If they did not let the water out, thereby flooding out Christie Lake, Bobs Lake could have overflowed and threatened nearby areas, and/or regions upstream. And yet, flooding started around April 21 in the Rideau Canal waterway. The ground was already waterlogged with April’s heavy rains and previous snowmelt, and there was heavy rain forecast for May 5 and that weekend. Could a smaller, slower, more gradual flush of water not taken some of the pressure off of Bobs Lake before May 4, without taking such a toll on Christie Lake? Well, according to a May 4 RVCA press release, attempts to lower the levels at Bobs Lake were unsuccessful prior to that date. And a May 5 RVCA press release stated that “Christie Lake on the Tay River is expected to have further flood issues as water is released from Bobs Lake to relieve ongoing high water there.” The May 5 press release also said that, “Parks Canada staff have been making adjustments at all dams to reduce the water levels with some success.” I was intrigued by a response from Parks Canada earlier this week that they would not be helping Tay Valley Township pay for the more than $5,000 in damage done to Christie Lake North Shore Road, which, during the worst period of flooding, saw a 700 metre stretch covered in water. Essentially, the township is responsible for their own infrastructure. Parks Canada, in this instance, is in the water levels and dam business. Mother Nature was working overtime on the rain. It’s not as though Parks Canada was not in the right – but the cold comfort they provided during a time of emergency seems to be making the flood’s aftermath more difficult to deal with than it needed to be. For Parks Canada to be telling Christie Lake residents and Tay Valley Township that, yes, it was their decision to pull the logs at the dam, but then, in the same breath, no, they bear absolutely no responsibility for it, is just cold. They may be right. That does not make Parks Canada blameless.

Trucks, tractors pull weight in Almonte May 27 BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Smoke and noise will accompany the fun at the Almonte Truck and Tractor Pull on Saturday, May 27, held at the local fairgrounds. The North Lanark Agricultural Society presents the event, now celebrating 12 years. A heavy and powerful motorsport competition, truck and tractor pulling involves pulling a heavy sledge along a set course. Eventually momentum and torque is lost, although a rare few might reach the end of the track. The distance from start to finish is measured, and the truck and tractor that pulls the sledge the farthest distance is declared the winner. The Almonte Truck and Tractor Pull is the largest in the Ottawa Valley, and this year’s prize purse is an outstanding $3,100. Weigh-in commences at 10 a.m., which is followed by the pull at 11 a.m. Classes The stock 4x4 truck classes are as follows: stock gas truck under 6,500 pounds; stock gas truck under 7,500 pounds; stock gas truck under 8,500 pounds; stock diesel truck under 8,500 pounds; pro street diesel truck under 8,500 pounds; and open gas truck. There are a number of tractor classes: tractor under 3,500 pounds; tractor under 4,500 pounds; tractor under 5,500 pounds; tractor under 6,500 pounds; altered farm tractor under 6,500 pounds; tractor under 7,500 pounds; tractor under 8,500 pounds; tractor under 10,500 pounds; altered farm tractor under 8,500 pounds; farm tractor under 110 horsepower; farm tractor under 150 horsepower; farm tractor under 200 horsepower; 4x4 farm tractor open (no articulated tractors in this class); and modified tractor class. All tractors and trucks must be weighed before and after their class. Entry fees for pullers are $5 for tractors, $10 for trucks and $10 for trucks to move up to the next class (not diesel trucks). Once again, the organizer for this event is Travis Drummond. For tractor classes, excluding the modified tractor class, first place winners receive $75, second place earns a $30 payday and third spot is worth $20. For 4x4 truck classes, including the modified tractor class, winners receive $150, second place earns a $75 payout and third spot is worth $50. Other festivities on Saturday include a beer garden and food concessions by Lanark County 4-H. Admission for spectators is $10 per person, and kids under 12 are free if accompanied by an adult. The Almonte Truck and Tractor Pull is fun for the whole family, and it is affordable. The fairgrounds are located at 195 Water St., and there is plenty of free parking.
Smoke and noise will accompany the fun at the Almonte Truck and Tractor Pull on Saturday, May 27, held at the local fair grounds. Above: A previous pull. File photo

If there are specific Ashton area matters, they will also be highlighted here. You can also sign up for a monthly e-Newsletter at our website rideaugoulbourn.ca. For the last few years, I have been providing columns for the Manotick Messenger, Stittsville News and Kemptville Advance. I’m excited to be able to communicate with residents in the Ashton area through this newspaper. Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee To kick off the month of June, there is nothing more exciting than a rousing meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee!

This cat should have been spayed. Spaying/Neutering prevents the births of cats and dogs for whom no homes can be found. In Canada, tens of thousands of cats and dogs are put to death annually in pounds and shelters because there are not enough homes for them.

CPDMH Foundation’s Charity Bed Pan Classic golf tournament marks 15 years June 2 BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Friday, June 2 serves as the 15th anniversary of Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation’s Charity Bed Pan Classic golf tournament and the celebrations will be in full swing. The event marks its crystal anniversary at the Canadian Golf & Country Club and according to CPDMH Foundation manager of fundraising, Robyn Arseneau, they are making a big splash with their largest annual fundraising initiative. “This year, we’re doing so many cool and amazing new things,” she noted. It’s even easier to throw your support behind the fundraiser this year and you don’t even have to be a golfer. “There are six different ways for people to get involved,” Arseneau said, including sponsorships from $500 to $10,000. “We have a great group of people supporting us. We don’t limit our sponsors. The more we have, the more funds come in to the hospital,” she added.
There are eight different levels of sponsorship to fit all budgets and “each is so greatly appreciated,” Arseneau said. Other ways to help are by playing a classic 18 holes, including lunch for $150; nine holes and dinner for $99 per person; participating in a golf clinic and dinner for $60; or just enjoy dinner for $50. This isn’t just any dinner, though. Billed as ‘The Ultimate Dining Experience,’ the foundation is one of the first events to benefit from the Canadian Golf & Country Club’s personalized meal experience. “You get the meal of your choice, either Caribbean jerk chicken or a pasta bar where chefs will make exactly what you want. It’s a fabulous dinner and worth the bang for your buck,” Arseneau remarked. “It’s a great networking event and people don’t just sit there; they’re walking around and having fun. A taco bar, salads, cheese and hors d’oeuvres will also be included in the spread. Community support and sponsorship is essential for the tournament’s success, which allows for the purchase
of vital equipment for patient care needs at CPDMH. “Everyone from our hospital family to the local community come out in amazing support of our hospital,” Arseneau commented. Online auction Perhaps the most exciting element to the golf tournament this year is the addition of an online auction. Traditionally, guests at the event have bid on items in a silent auction, but this year, it’s being opened up to the worldwide web. “We’re so excited about this,” Arseneau remarked. “It’s the first time anyone in the area, that I know of, has ever gone online with an auction.” She said the reason for expanding the initiative was simple: to reach more people. “Not all of our donors are golfers and want to give back in different ways,” she said. “This way, you can get some great deals while contributing to a good cause and you don’t even have to be at the golf tournament.” “We can also further help promote our donors and everything they do for us,” Arseneau added. The more than 100 items up for
grabs range from a private tea party with a local author; a hot air balloon excursion; gift certificates; framed prints; hotel stays; and one of a kind experiences such as a romantic canoe ride on the Ottawa River with champagne. The auction went live Wednesday, May 24 at www.biddingforgood.com, but a direct link is available on the tournament website at www.bedpanclassic.ca. It ends at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 2. All auction items will be on display at the golf tournament and guests can still bid on them at that time as well. “The golfers can still be involved and be out on the greens and bidding on their phones. They can do it anywhere, at any time or in any location,” Arsneau said, adding that bidders will receive notifications for when they’ve been outbid on an item. Limited spaces are available for the Charity Bed Pan Classic, so those interested can visit www.bedpanclassic. ca for more information or contact Arseneau (rarseneau@carletonplacehosp.com, foundation@carletonplacehosp.com or 613-257-2200 ext. 856). More sponsors are always wel-
come and can also connect with Arseneau for opportunities. The full proceeds from sponsorship, the online/ silent auction and raffle go directly to the purchase of patient care equipment. “The generosity of our community is fantastic and we cannot thank them enough for their support,” Arseneau said. “We’re here and we’re not going anywhere and we continually have needs for patient care equipment. We just want to thank our loyal donors who make those commitments.”

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
horoscopes
sudoku
Barsaeinrs
Visit www.travelalerts.ca/Backyard
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!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Prove yourself with actions instead of words, Aries. Your productivity will not speak for itself, so you may need to do some self-promotion to get the word out.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you know what needs to get done. Now it is just a matter of finding the time to accomplish everything. Simplify things by writing all of your tasks down.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Explaining a proposal may require some creative thinking, Sagittarius. Make a list of all the talking points and then narrow down your options this week.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words will carry a lot of weight when you speak about a topic that is dear to your heart. Others might be inspired by your message, and you can recruit helpers.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You may have to explain your point of view over and over again before others see your way of thinking, Virgo. Don’t let this discourage you this week.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you tend to hold yourself to a very high standard because you always want to do your best the first time out of the gate. Others appreciate your dedication.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do not get caught up in gossip and hearsay, Gemini. That can compromise your credibility at work and among friends. Stay focused on your responsibilities.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, once you are knee-deep in a project, you may not need to take frequent breaks. You’re ready to plow through to the finish line and reap the rewards of hard work.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, sometimes it seems as if you have a sixth sense, especially where finding good deals are concerned. You’re happy to be the shopper of the family.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 While you shouldn’t compare yourself to others too often, once in a while it can illustrate just how far you have come. Why not compare against the person you once were?
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, no matter which words come out of your mouth, others are compelled to listen when you speak. Recognize the impact your words can have on others.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, extreme focus on a subject can be a help or a hindrance. Remember to remain flexible in the next few days.

Don’t get exhausted with replacement of emissions control catalytic converter “Hi Brian, We are looking at a new SUV (Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson), and others in that size range. My question is about the direct injection engines that are in a lot of these. Is the carbon buildup on the intake valves a big issue with these engines? Escape has new 1.5 and 2.0 Eco-Boost engines, replacing the 1.6 and 2.0 of 2016. Any issues with these that you know of? Thanks very much, Darren” Good question. Early direct injection engines did have some problems with this, but pretty much every carmaker has now worked out the kinks with new software controlling injection and ignition timing. None of the makes/models you're looking at have any reported problems in this area to my knowledge. Don’t get exhausted. A common but expensive repair on many older vehicles is the replacement of
the emissions control catalytic converter. Whether due to poor maintenance histories or unexpected failures of related sensors and components, when your shop tells you your ride needs a new converter, be prepared for a price shock. Many of these units on common run-of-themill autos run well over $1,000 (not including labour or tax), and some use multiple converter assemblies mounted on pipes that easily double that figure. But is there a more economical solution? First, no tech or shop worth their salt will ever recommend replacing a catalytic converter without first checking and rectifying upstream faults. Converters never fail on their own (except for corrosion leaks), but are usually the victims of a poorly running engine caused by any number of problems. Worn spark plugs, defective fuel and emission control sensors, and even failed head gaskets can lead to their demise, to name but a few. Without
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
first correcting any contributing problems, you can easily have to repeat the wallet-shattering converter job again. Not all consumers know there are supplier choices when dealing with this repair and the cost differences can be astounding. Certainly, you can always source converters from the dealerships, but aftermarket firms cover the majority of applications as well. Reputable companies such as Walker carry and distribute a full line of direct-fit converters with the correct pipes and bends required for an easy fit and long lasting result. For an even less ex-
pensive option, you can check out universal converters, but beware: it will take a skilled tech with established cutting and welding skills to get these fitted without any leaks or pipe misalignment. And if your vehicle has sensors mounted directly into the converter’s case, you’ll have to make sure the replacement universal unit has the proper fittings for these. Salvage or auto-recycling yards are still worth the call, but not all keep converters anymore. The special metals used in their interior construction keeps them high in demand by precious metal recyclers and these companies will pay top dollar to any salvage facility. On Saturday, May 27, the Kanata Rib-fest & Cruising for CHEO Car Show (KanataRibfest.ca) rolls into the Kanata Recreation Centre at 100 Charlie Rogers Pl. in Kanata (Terry Fox Drive across from A&W Restaurant). There will be some very cool prizes: car packs,
weekend getaways, car services, and of course, free ribs and barbecue for some lucky drivers. A $10 donation is required for car show exhibitors. The show runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On May 27 and May 28, the Rideau Lakes Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada (ACCCC) Flea Market, Craft Sale & Car Show (on May 28) happens at the Lombardy Fairgrounds on Highway 15 — four miles southwest of Smiths Falls, Ont. If you have any questions, opinions or stories on anything automotive, please drop me a line (by email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com, listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line, or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, Ont., K7A 4T1). When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact. Due to volume, I can’t always promise replies. Yours in service, Brian Turner

DEATH NOTICE
Lois Shirley Gemmill (nee Campbell) passed away on Mother’s Day, 2017 in her 92nd year. She was the beloved wife of James S. Gemmill for 60 years and the much loved mother of Beverley McCann (late John), late Gary (Nancy), and Eleanor Gilmour (Brent); amazing grandmother of Mike McCann (Melissa), Gavin Gilmour (Charly Kate), Pat Gilmour and Angel Fielding (Jamie). She adored her great grandchildren Riley McCann, Becky, Nicole and Dalton Fielding. Mom was predeceased by her parents Fred and Eleanor Campbell, her brothers Cecil, Newt, Bob and Lloyd Campbell and sister Helen Moffatt. She will be missed by many nieces and nephews and her sisterin-law Rena Campbell. We are honouring Mom’s wishes to be cremated and to have no visitation or funeral. The burial of her ashes will be at a later date. She was a creative person who loved to sew, crochet, do needlepoint, paint with watercolours, renovate, garden and was a marvelous baker of bread, cinnamon buns, butter tarts and our family favourite – PIES! She will be dearly missed but remembered with love always. Mom always had a cat, or several, from the time she was a child until she made Lanark Lodge her home. Her last cat, Tinker, was a loved companion that she missed dearly. The family is very grateful for the care and love Mom received by the dedicated Staff at Lanark Lodge. She will be dearly missed and remembered with love always.

COADY, Don - In loving memory of a dear husband who passed away on May 31, 2016. You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, That only you can fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone. Part of me went with you, The day God took you home. Dearly loved and sadly missed Love always Judy
WINTER, Heinz March 1930–May 2012 To hear your voice, to see you smile, To sit and talk with you awhile, To be together in the same old way, Would be our dearest wish today. Love always Mathilde & Family

If we knew it would be the last time that we’d see you fall asleep,
If we knew it would be the last time we would be there to share your day, we would videotape every action and word, so we could play them back day after day. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but it cannot fill the longing, for our loved one gone before. Who says the grief is lessened, smiles hide our tears; memories will keep the wound open, with the passing of the years.

Beckwith 2017 budget calls for 1.85 per cent increase BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Ratepayers in Beckwith are facing a 1.85 per cent levy increase in 2017. During a meeting of council on May 2, reeve Richard Kidd presented the township’s budget to the public. He noted the increase is on the municipal services portion only. Property tax bills also include levies for Lanark County services and school boards. Owing to the 1.85 per cent increase, the owner of an average residential property in Beckwith assessed at $100,000 will see a dollar change of $13.65. This year expenditures in Beckwith amount to $7,724,859 and revenues equal $4,268,218. As a result, the total 2017 municipal levy is $3,456,641 (money guaranteed from property taxes). Kidd noted the waste management fee (garbage, recycling, etc.), which is applied to residential properties only, would remain at $208, the same as 2015 and 2016. Revenue in Beckwith arrives by way of a number of funding sources: taxation (54.1 per cent); grants (9.8 per cent); reserves and reserve funds (10.5 per cent); fees, licenses and permits (14 per cent); unfinanced (3.6 per cent); other municipalities (4.9 per cent); and other revenue (3.2 per cent). According to the reeve, the largest share of taxation by department is
public works (33.6 per cent). Others: protection persons/property (30.8 per cent), general government (15.8 per cent); recreation and culture (15.6 per cent); planning (2.5 per cent); community development (1.4 per cent); and municipal drainage (0.2 per cent). Environmental services stands at zero per cent. Kidd stressed the policing contract (Ontario Provincial Police) is equivalent to 27 per cent of the Beckwith tax levy. “This is just ridiculous,” he said, and “a person reading this may think our policing level went up because of more break-ins.” “No, it is because the provincial government changed its costing formula four years ago, and it has doubled the cost of our policing,” Kidd added.
funded by way of the money the township is getting under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure program (CIP 150). CIP 150 is part of Canada 150 Celebrates, the Government of Canada’s celebration of the country’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. The fed-
Projects and purchases Totalling $1,603,230, a number of capital projects and purchases are proposed for the year 2017. Falling under the category of administration, $120,251 will be spent on a log one-room schoolhouse. Funding will come from reserves ($80,167) and grants ($40,084). “We are reconstructing an 1867 one-room log schoolhouse,” Kidd explained. “It will be located at Beckwith Park where we have the log barns now.” A percentage of the work is being
eral government is investing in projects that seek to renovate, expand and improve existing community infrastructure, with a focus on recreational facilities, projects that advance a clean growth economy, and projects with a positive impact on Indigenous communities.
Beckwith’s fire department will spend $186,660, with monies coming from reserves ($3,045), development charges ($36,660) and other ($146,955). Projects are as follows: building improvements (2014 addition See BUDGET page A/CP13

MM council members attempt to reverse parkland sale decision BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Despite urging from three fellow council members to reverse their decision to sell Don Maynard Park, council continues to forge ahead, approving a Community Official Plan amendment (COPA) to re-zone the lands. The resolution to re-designate the lands at Block 40 from open space and parkland to residential and residential first density to allow five lots to be created for sale was discussed during the May 16 council meeting. The land adjacent, known as Block 42 beside Holy Name of Mary Catholic School, will remain unchanged. A portion of Block 40 will be retained and identified as the new Don Maynard Park. An anticipated $300,000 from the sale of the lots has been committed towards the Gemmill Park Campus project, which includes a splash pad and skate park.
“I think the intent of the report is to focus on the understanding with the land being deemed surplus, what is the most appropriate designation,” explained municipal planner Stephen Stirling. “It’s important to keep that in mind. However, a few council members pleaded with others around the table to bring the process to a halt. “I don’t want to go over what we dealt with before, particularly, but I have looked at this and saw the different reasons we had to do this or there would be no Gemmill Park…” said Coun. Duncan Abbott. “There’s nothing that’s been put forward that’s a planning reason, such as we need more development, it’s just being said that we need more money.” Abbott said while Stirling’s report states why the municipality can re-designate the land, “I think it’s coming across to a lot of people that we’re (council) doing it because we can.” “I’m saying that because we
can isn’t a reason to do it,” he added. “…I think it’s a double standard that council is able to do this for their own reasons, but there’s so much opposition.” Coun. Alex Gillis agreed, noting these amendments need “serious consideration.” Against the sale of the lands since the beginning when council began to discuss it 10 months ago, he said that certain aspects of the COPA and zoning amendment to come before council in the future, don’t keep with the landscape of the subdivision. “The requested amendment for minimum lot frontage is to reduce it to 15.24 metres which is 15 per cent less than the required standard of 18 metres,” he stated. “This lot size will not complement the lots opposite on Gale St. and is a concern.” Gillis questioned whether the parkland was truly surplus. “Does it not meet a need?

The Arklan Community Public School choir sings Music Monday’s theme song, “Sing it Together,” during their participation in the initiative May 1. Submitted photo
Arklan students ‘sing it together’ For the fourth 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, May 1. 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 with their uplifting rendition of this year’s original theme song, “Sing It Together,” written by Juno Award winning, veteran songwriters Marc Jordan and Ian Thomas. The soundtrack featured Canadian cultural music styles and instrumentation such as Inuit throat singing, Métis fiddling, and indigenous drumming. The remainder of the concert fit in with the Canada 150 theme. The choir and students
from all JK to Grade 6 classes performed songs which are about this great country of ours, or which have been written or performed by Canadian artists. The audience was treated to vocal and instrumental performances of songs which reflected a variety of geographical regions, cultures, genres, and time periods. Through our Music Monday concerts, we hope that the public will actively support quality music education. Go to www. musicmonday.ca for more details on how you can help.

PARK
From page A/CP14
seems to be recognized since Block 42 and about 30 per cent of Block 40 will be reconfigured into a new Don Maynard Park; nevertheless, this proposed compromise reconfiguration will result in 70 per cent less park along Gale St. – a major change for the neighbourhood,” he stressed. At the dedication of the park in 2003, Gillis said it was troubling to him that council was going back on a commitment they made to have a park along Gale St., admitting it could set a precedent. “The proposed infill will adversely impact greenspace which was landscaped by the municipality in 2003 and which is established, now, as a maturing and lovely neighbourhood park,” he continued. “…We should not establish a precedence, since other smaller parks are likely to become future targets for sale. Once sold, these valued spaces are gone forever.” Hundreds of residents showed up at a public meeting to discuss the sale of the parkland back in August 2016 and followed it up with a petition including 1,800 signatures in opposition. Gillis indicated residents have the right to oppose the matter as it will cause them to suffer “emotional, health and financial losses.”
“This infill project has essentially no support in Almonte ward, at least,” Gillis said, to the applause of residents in the audience. “We need to listen to the will and concerns of the people and deny these requested amendments.” Coun. Paul Watters added that back when the subdivision was being built, residents purchased their properties with the knowledge a park would be in the community. “When you go in and look at the area across the road from you and buy that house because of it, it’s (sale of land) definitely an emotional thing for people,” he stated. “I think we owe it to these people to rethink what we’re doing here,” Watters added. “Remove the sale of this land and give it back to the people.” With council having made the decision to sell the lots back in March, Coun. John Edwards said they should focus on the task at hand. “I support the recommendation of staff and I’ve read the report very carefully. There are no negative comments from staff on any issues with regards to the Community Official Plan or zoning amendments,” he said. “There’s been a full and complete review of the process and the planner says it’s consistent with smart growth policies…We have a responsibility
to carry out the proposal.” He urged his fellow councillors to be careful with their implication that the creation of lots will destroy the neighbourhood. Edwards noted it will change, but not be destroyed. “…Language is really important in how we soberly and carefully manage our municipality,” he said. “It’s not a question of money,” Edwards said, inciting groans from the gallery, to which he responded, “You can vote in the next election.” Also concerned about the proposed amendments was Coun. Jane Torrance. She admitted that she voted against the sale of lands in March, but “I realize it’s a decision made by the majority of council.” “I’m not liking the amendments requested because I think it strays too far from the original development,” she said. Instead, she proposed certain standards be put in place regarding side and rear yard setbacks, height and a maximum lot coverage of 35 per cent, “to be consistent with the current Gale subdivision.” “People do not want a massive house built on a smaller lot across the street or beside them, or any house…but I would be happy with restrictions,” Torrance continued.
Coun. Val Wilkinson seconded her support for Torrance’s suggestions. “If it’s something that is the wish of council, it could be written into the zoning (bylaw amendment),” Stirling noted. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin was concerned of the 35 per cent coverage on a 65-foot wide lot. “You’ll have a much smaller house,” he commented. “Is your intent to have a much smaller house than what’s already there? Do the math.” “Our intent is to have houses similar to what is there,” added Edwards. “Further restricting what the size of the houses are is getting into the weeds.” Gillis wasn’t satisfied. “I don’t think it’s going to help the problem at all,” he pointed out. “You will still have five lots on Gale St. which is a massive change…I won’t be supporting it.” “Yes, it makes a difference, but I don’t think it will make a big difference,” continued Abbott. Torrance’s amendment to restrict the lot coverage and impose standards was voted down. In a recorded vote, the COPA passed 7-4, with Abbott, Gillis, Watters and Torrance in opposition.
