St. James parish hall sold BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
August marks one year since St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place welcomed Rev. Brian Kauk to its fold, and in the last 10 months the Lord has lead the parish on an exciting journey. Kauk sat down with the Canadian Gazette on May 31 to talk about what has transpired, including the sale of the church’s old parish hall — also known as Elliot Hall. Elliot Hall is named after Rev. Canon Elliot. It was built in 1923 on land originally used as a lumberyard. Hall served as the church’s rector from 1890 to 1925. The addition was put on in the late '90s. “Yes, I can confirm the hall is sold, with the deal closing on June 1,” Kauk said. “The real estate agent was Jeff Wilson.” The minister noted the parking lot was severed and remains the church’s property. Duncan McNaughton purchased Elliot Hall. “I have not yet seen his plans,” Kauk said. “The intended use as we understand it is residential." “We had some confidence when he came to us ... impressed with the way he has dealt with other properties around town.” Elliot Hall was put up for sale earlier this year. Previously, the church
hoped to sell the property to the McKeen family, owners of Manitoulin Chocolate Works. The McKeens wanted to redevelop the property into an artisan chocolate shop and café. However, the sale was conditional, which hinged on a zoning change. The change was denied by council. “The detailed information regarding the space and specific uses of that space indicates a scale of operations that will adversely impact the residential character of the neighbourhood,” Mayor Louis Antonakos said at the time. Ultimately, the church needed time to regroup. Parishioners also said goodbye to longtime minister Rev. Canon David Andrew who retired. Once MacNaughton approached the church, “we had a deal on the table by February, and we accepted his offer,” Kauk said. The minister would not reveal the sale price; however, he said, “The parish retains the use of the funds, with the diocese helping us decide on the best and wisest course of action.” Although no decision has been made, Kauk noted, “We have other capital needs around here that we need to address, such as the church’s front doors.” Furthermore, St. James Anglican Church is still paying down debt on the new parish hall.

Lieutenant governor spends ‘inspirational day’ in Perth, Smiths Falls For a day spent at full throttle, it was a visit to a hospital chapel in Smiths Falls which brought Ontario’s lieutenant governor back to her childhood. Elizabeth Dowdeswell spent much of Monday, June 5, attending several events in Perth and Smiths Falls, but it was in the chapel at the Smiths Falls campus of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, where she heard volunteer Lucie Bingley play Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Edelweiss,” that took her back. “The organ always has such a nice, full sound,” Dowdeswell told Bingley after her brief performance. Dowdeswell was a former organist herself at her former church, “but I haven’t played for years and years,” she said wistfully. Though born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, she came over as a youngster, where her father became a preacher in rural Saskatchewan. Her mother would often take up the roll of choir leader. “It’s been a part of my life,” she said, the interweaving of music and faith, which, once again, came together during this visit. Dowdeswell had presented Bingley, 23, with a provincial medal for young volunteers last year, and Bingley had Desmond Devoy/Metroland invited her to visit her at the hospital one day – which Dowdeswell followed Ontario lieutenant governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell hugs Perth and through on this week. After meeting Smiths Falls District Hospital volunteer Lucie Bingley in a hallway at the Dowdeswell at the front door, Bingley Smiths Falls site at the end of her tour of the facility on Monday, June 5.
walked her through the hospital for a tour. Following the chapel visit, the two women went to one of two places where Bingley is often assigned to work, the lab (she also does work at the hospital’s dialysis clinic.) Pointing to the stickers on the floor,

In an effort to prepare for the impending legislation from provincial Bill 68, Lanark County is investigating the option of hiring a county-wide integrity commissioner. County council approved a motion directing staff to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Lanark County/ local municipal integrity commissioner at its May 24 session in Perth. It was previously discussed during the May 10 corporate services committee meeting. The contract will be on either a fee for service or retainer plus fee for service basis. According to a report prepared by clerk/deputy chief administrative officer Leslie Drynan, Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, known as Bill 68, was introduced into the legislature on Nov. 16, 2016. It passed second reading March 23. “The proposed legislation would introduce changes to municipal governance, including the method of changing
council composition,” she explained. “There will be enhanced accountability and transparency measures, including an expanded role for integrity commissioners and new mandatory requirements with respect to codes of conduct and other policies.” “…The local clerks (Lanark County and Smiths Falls) have been working together to work through the legislation in anticipation of its adoption, probably before summer recess,” Drynan continued. The proposed bill would make it mandatory for municipalities to appoint an integrity commissioner and establish a code of conduct for members of council and local boards. “In addition, it will be mandatory for municipalities to adopt and maintain a policy governing the relationship between members of council and the officers and employees of the municipality,” Drynan stated. Other potential requirements include appointing a municipal ombudsman and auditor general, as well as estab-
lishing a lobbyist registry. She said local clerks have consulted both the Association of Ontario (AMO) and the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) “who have been providing feedback and consultation papers on the legislation.” “The Lanark County and Smiths Falls clerks group have met on several occasions to review the potential implications and discuss opportunities to work together for common local processes and enforcement for municipal codes of conduct,” Drynan noted, adding the group has begun the process of updating and drafting a revised code of conduct for members of council, a complaint policy, as well as a council-staff relations policy. “(The group) has indicated a staff-level preference for a county-led solution with respect to the appointment of an integrity commissioner.” Lanark County currently has a closed meeting investigaSee COMMISSIONER page 5

gator, LAS, and adopted a code of conduct with local municipalities in 2007. Their current code of conduct was adopted in 2009 and formal complaint process is defaulted to the Ontario Ombudsman. Carleton Place is the sole municipality who has already appointed an integrity commissioner, Robert Swayze. He was retained in 2012. Others in eastern Ontario who also have them include Renfrew County, Frontenac County, Prince Edward County, Ottawa and Kingston. Coun. John Fenik (Perth mayor) commended the clerks group for their work on the matter and noted that while Drynan’s report stated there wasn’t any enforcement in municipal codes of conduct, Perth is a different story. “We have the ability to remove the mayor, deputy mayor or members of council from in-camera sessions and also remove them from their committee work,” he said. “And that’s about as far as we can go. I truly think that this is a good thing, that we should have an integrity commissioner. It will be interesting to see how this bill plays out because there has to be a uniform approach around municipal codes of conduct and councillor spending policies.” Concerned about the function of an integrity commissioner and spending limits on council, Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor) wondered about a municipality’s protection. “And that is one of the concerns that was raised by AMO and AMCTO on numerous occasions through the consultation process about the mandate of municipal integrity commissioners,” Drynan answered. “It’s expanded, but what role the municipality has in setting parameters, that hasn’t been outlined yet.” While Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) was supportive of the recommendation, he believed nothing should be done until the bill had passed. “…I’d like to see it deferred until Bill 68 passes because what happens if it changes and we’ve already bought in?” he questioned. He was also worried about more downloading from the province, concerns shared by MPPs during debate on the bill’s second reading in the legislature, according to Drynan’s report. Other issues are the failure to provide new revenue tools for municipalities; the possibility of unfair expanded use of administrative monetary penalties as there’s no appeal process; as well as electronic participation in council meetings could discourage participation and accountability among council members. “…It’s going to third reading now, so things will change, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to come out in some form,” added Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor), applauding AMO’s lobbying with the province on the bill. “…They recently got a few concessions from the province to water down the power of the integrity commissioner…and who could apply (for it).” Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) also called the recommendation “good business practice.”

greeted by Dr. Mary Louise Kocieka, who joked that “I’m doing her (Bingley’s) job now, because she’s with you!” (“See you tomorrow,” Bingley called out to Kocieka as they left the lab.) With all of the walking that Bingley was doing this past Monday alone, Dowdeswell joked that “you need a FitBit that takes count of your step.” As the two women hugged each other goodbye that afternoon, Dowdeswell leaned in and told Bingley: “Thank you for what you are doing.” Dowdeswell’s first visit of the day was to the Queen Elizabeth School in Perth – an appropriately named school for a woman who is Queen Elizabeth II’s royal representative to the province. Students and staff had invited their Queen’s Park guest to take part in their Canada 150 celebrations in the school gym. Afterwards, she visited with school staffers, and even received a group hug from students of Jacinthea Beyea’s class. After the national celebration with students, Dowdeswell’s black SUV, with blue Ontario regal flags flying on the front, sped her downtown to the Perth town hall where she met with Mayor John Fenik, members of council, and town hall staffers. Dowdeswell and her entourage then headed across the county to Smiths Falls, to see the Rideau Canal lock station at the Abbott Street bridge in action. She was met by a contingent of Parks Canada employees – one of whom, maintenance worker Bill Code, had rushed the lieutenant governor’s blue flag up the staff minutes before her arrival. She was met not only by the Smiths Falls lock master, Sabastien Geoffroy, but also by Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow. Dowdeswell’s aide on this visit was Lt. Col. Evelyn Kelly, who grew up in Smiths Falls and went to school here, so, this visit was just as much of a
homecoming for her as it was a working visit. Hours after her visit to the school, Dowedeswell said she was still amazed at the show put on by the school students, how they truly captured “what it means to be Canadian,” and in English and French, no less, she said, during a press conference at the hospital later. “It was great to visit them.” Shaking her head, she added: “Out of the mouths of children.”
Having visited with students, and to have met young people like Bingley, who “is such an ambassador.” Dowdeswell said it was important to teach young people “to care for people.” “It’s been a very inspirational day all around,” she said. Dowdeswell joked that she had appointed herself as Ontario’s “storyteller in chief,” since “stories are just so powerful,” and that we as Ontar-
ians do not do a good enough job of telling our story. “This one here is a wonderful story,” said Dowdeswell, pointing over to Bingley, who started volunteering at the hospital as part of a co-operative education placement eight years ago, and continued after her time was up. “I fell in love with my work,” said
Bingley. “I decided I had (to) stay on as a volunteer…I am very grateful to be here.” Thanks to a book she helped compile, entitled 150 Stories, which invited 150 Ontarians to write about their home province, in about 150 words, she hopes to create “a sense of who Ontarians are.”

OPP to provide officers with Naloxone and protective equipment for drug searches The Ontario Provincial Police will provide Naloxone to all front line members and to those in designated specialized units. Each front line officer is being issued a kit with two doses of Naloxone nasal spray while on duty, while members of selected specialized units, such as Drug Enforcement Units and Community Street Crime Units, will each be issued a personal kit. "We take the health and safety of our members and our communities very seriously. With the increased prevalence of fentanyl, fentanyl analogues and synthetic opioid powders on our streets, there is a very real danger of exposure and these steps are being taken to ensure the safety of those we serve and our officers,” said Commissioner Vince Hawkes. The use of personal protective equipment will be mandatory while conducting suspected drug searches, seizures and/or sampling to help ensure the safety of OPP officers. Front line members will be required to wear protective equipment including a re-

spiratory mask, safety glasses or goggles, nitrile gloves and long sleeve shirt or jacket. Health Canada testing determined fentanyl was present in 114 OPP seizures in 2016 from the mainly rural communities the OPP serves, demonstrating it is an emerging and ongoing concern in all parts of Ontario. Testing results for 2017 are not yet available, but the number of seizures with fentanyl present appears to be similar to 2016 levels. "The opioid crisis is a growing threat. Equipping OPP officers with Naloxone kits will give vulnerable people timely access to this life-saving drug. When someone is overdosing, minutes can make the difference between life and death. This initiative will save lives,” said Marie-France Lalonde, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. "The safety of our members is paramount and as we are seeing more fentanyl in various forms, the chance of exposure is increased. Having additional personal protective equipment
and Naloxone on hand could very well save the life of one of our members, or a member of the public,” said Rob Jamieson, president of the Ontario Provincial Police Association. The primary purpose of the Naloxone is for use if an officer is exposed. However, if there is a life-threatening situation and emergency medical services are not immediately available, officers will be trained to use it on a member of the public. The Naloxone kits are an additional tool that OPP officers will be able to use to help keep our communities safe. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that can reverse an opioid overdose for approximately 20 minutes to one hour, depending on the strength of the opioid.

COMMENTARY
Benefit might be minimal
T
he Ontario government's recent announcement that the minimum wage and other related rates of pay would be increasing significantly in 2018 and 2019 generated an expected mix of responses. Some praised the proposal as a step in the right direction of the province's working poor, while others slammed it for being a job killer and a desperate attempt to pull an election win out of the perceived jaws of an upcoming defeat. We can relate to those who are trying to make ends meet on the current minimums. That task must be even more challenging when dealing with larger households and in urban areas where the cost of living is higher than what we experience in the Lanark County area. Trying to save for education or retirement is difficult if not impossible without taking on multiple jobs. And yet, it stands to reason that certain businesses will have little or no choice but to insist that consumers offset the increased labour costs in order for those
businesses to survive – and cutting into those wages gains for lower-income individuals as a result. If the choice is to reduce staff or close the business, the affected workers do not realize the benefit of higher rates. Fewer workers gainfully employed would presumably lead to higher social service costs. And it's fair to ask about how some businesses that are already being asked to donate on a regular basis would be willing and able to continue their support of sports teams and community projects if they have to make adjustments to compensate for paying more in operating costs. We are conflicted by the potential benefits of moving in the direction of a guaranteed living wage being offset or cancelled out by higher prices and the possibility of there being fewer lower-level job options in the future. The bottom line is companies are in business to make money; they do not exist merely to employ people.
There was always something to be done in the fields for Father
I
n my mind’s eye I could see Father in the faroff fields earlier in the spring, plowing the fields that lay beyond the Bonnechere River over the West Hill. He walked behind the plow, stooped over as if he were carrying a heavy load. He used the furrow first plowed, as a guideline, never once looking back to make sure he was moving in a straight line. I would, if I wasn’t at school, go over to where he was working, sit on the log fence, and watch him. He would nod in my direction, but there was no time for idle chatter, and I would stay there for the longest time, often wondering how he could stand the constant back and forth of

walking the fields that made up our farm on that side of the river. And even though much time had passed since those fields had been plowed, there was still the land on what he called the north side of the railroad tracks to tend to. Often the first-plowed fields would be sprouted by the time Father had finished plowing and planting the other fields of grain. And now he was sitting on the rim of the big water tank in the barn yard. The bottoms of his bib-overalls were caked with mud from the fields he had been working in, and I saw that even his leather laces in his work boots were hidden by the
ter trough that was there to quench the thirst of the livestock in the hot summer weather. He had in his hand the whetstone and he was trying to sharpen the plow point
to make the job yet to be done easier. I saw that the very point of the plow point had worn away, leaving that part jagged, but there was enough left to finish the job if he could once
again create a sharp edge. And that was what he was trying to do on that hot summer day. You just didn’t buy a new See MARY page 9
LETTER TO THE EDITOR dirt. I knew he would be stripping in the wood shed before coming into the house for his supper. He sat with the plow-point between his knees, anchored tightly so it couldn’t move. And I wondered how he could endure the pain of its weight on his legs, as he held it firmly so that he could work on it. And I knew why he was sitting on the rim of the wa-

Resident pulls out of race to ward off by-election DEAR EDITOR,
Rideau Lakes council recently voted in the spring to have a by-election in Bastard and South Burgess ward of Rideau Lakes Township due to the open seat left by the tragic loss of Doug Good. At that time, I asked council to appoint one of the three people who had made an effort to run in the previous election, instead of picking someone they wanted. Those people included

myself, Rob Dunfield and Donald Wills. Council was unable to support any of those choices and opted for a by-election, the cost of which was quoted at that meeting of $11,000 to $18,000. When the nomination period closed on May 31, there were only two candidates – Rob Dunfield and myself. So I have chosen to withdraw from the race.

point because a bit of it had worn off! I once asked Father how something so hard could wear down to that point, and he said it was because the land, even though his ancestors had done their best to remove them, still had buried stones in the ground. The constant contact with the stones was what had worn the plow-point down. Father, with his hands bare, scraped the stone over and over the edge of the plow-point, stopping only long enough to dip the whetstone into the trough of water, trying to create a new sharp edge.
I went to the pump close by and brought him a cup of cold water. He took the cup with his weather-beaten hand and swallowed it down without stopping. He handed the cup back to me, only nodding his thanks. Again, I knew there was no time for idle chatter. The north fields beckoned him, and the plow point had to be ready. As I so often did, I watched Father at work that day. I moved to the twig chair that sat on the back stoop so that I could see him, hoping he didn’t know that I was there. If he did, there was no acknowledgement. And again, in my mind’s eye, I could see him walking
mile after mile behind the plow pulled by our horse, and I wondered at how he could stand the monotony of it all. The steady plodding up and down, one field after another, and to finish the job, spending untold hours sitting in the sun trying to create a new sharp edge to a plow point that had served three generations. But that’s the way it was. And the way it would always be. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

creted. The mayor and staff, while I feel were throwing up many road blocks to hide this information, continually insisted that our debt was only $6.6 million. We now know from the financial statements that we started 2014 with a debt of $9.9 million, and ended the year with a debt of $10.2 million, while carrying a $1.1 million deficit. In closing, I believe 2018 is
our chance to rebuild the trust that has been lost. If Mr. Dunfield does decide to run for mayor of Rideau Lakes next year, he will be getting 100 per cent of my support and I hope that of my friends, family and all the residents of Rideau Lakes. It is time that accountability and transparency are more than just buzz words! Paula Banks, Otter Lake
LETTER
From page 8
It really did not make sense to spend that money on a byelection when the end results would be the same as my original request to council. Rob Dunfield ran for mayor in the last election and he is considering the same in 2018. If you will remember Mr. Dunfield and I tried to tell the current council and taxpayers that the real financial situation of Rideau Lakes was being se-

Parliament Hill is one of Ottawa’s ‘hidden gems’ Some of you may shake your heads after reading the headline of this column. “Parliament Hill, a hidden gem? How is that possible? It’s one of the best known locations in Canada,” you might be thinking. I understand the skepticism. But, bear with me, there is a point to this. I’m not thinking about the Centre Block of Parliament, one of the most well-known and dramatic symbols of Canada. Nor am I referring to the East and West Blocks which flank the main structure. The West Block is currently being refurbished and will serve as the temporary home of our national seat of government, the House of Commons. Temporary as in several years; the current House is scheduled to undergo a major and long overdue renovation. I am not referring to the lawns of Parliament, either. The lawns host everything from Canada Day celebrations to the summer Changing of the Guard to an annual marijuana smoke fest, along with every kind of protest imaginable. The lawns of Parliament are the heart of our democracy. The eternal flame on the centre walkway — ignited in 1967 to mark Canada’s centennial — still burns brightly in 2017, as we prepare to officially mark our nation’s sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) on Canada Day. To say I’m a regular on Parliament Hill is something of an understatement. I have been there so many times
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
that I lost count years ago. I am an Ottawa native who grew up in suburban Stittsville. When I was living at home, many moons ago, it seemed every out-of-town relative and friend who visited the Maguire household wanted us to take them on a tour of the nation’s capital, including Parliament Hill. That trend has continued through my married life. During our more than 40 years living in Carleton Place, Kathleen and I have hosted many visits to The Hill or we have gone there ourselves for one reason or another, including July 1 observances. During a decade of service with the Carleton Place Sister City Committee (I am the current chair), our group has hosted a dozen Youth Exchange visits involving secondary school students from the town’s two sister communities: Comrie, Scotland, U.K.; and Franklin, Tenn., U.S.A. All of the exchanges have included a visit to Parliament Hill and usually a tour of the Centre Block. The most recent was last week, when
three students from Franklin and their adult chaperone visited Carleton Place and eastern Ontario. On May 30, we took the Tennessee contingent to the Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Museum of Civilization) in Gatineau, Que. Don’t miss the Canadian hockey display there, which runs all summer. It is excellent. Library survived From the history museum, visitors have a commanding view across the Ottawa River to the back of the Parliament Buildings — including the library, which was the only part of the original structure to survive the destructive fire of 1916. Parliament Hill from behind is also impressive and our visitors took many photos from that vantage point. One young lady asked if we would be visiting Parliament. “Tomorrow,” I promised. And so, it was on the final day of May that I conducted my latest tour of The Hill. Our walk through the heart of the nation’s capital included a stop at the National War Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, something I do every time I take people to Parliament Hill. Of course, we saw all of the prominent areas I have already mentioned. But, it is the “hidden gems,” the things most visitors never see, that I focused on. Judging by the numbers, it seems few
people realize they can walk around the Centre Block — although, unfortunately, the construction work has some areas closed at present. But, behind and beside the huge stone structure, there are statues and objects which help reinforce the significance of The Hill. For example, an original bell of Parliament which plunged to earth when the Victoria Clock Tower (now the Peace Tower) was engulfed in flames on Feb. 3, 1916. Seven people, including a member of Parliament, died as a result of the blaze. There is also a wonderful Summer Pavilion, built in 1995, which people who fail to circumnavigate the massive building also miss. It was designed by renowned architect Julian Smith who, for many years, lived in Appleton near Carleton Place. To me, the gazebo overlooking the Ottawa River is a must see. Still, of all the things you will enjoy behind the Centre Block, including an exterior view of the towering Parliamentary Library, the best feature is the views. Spread out below you is spectacular vistas of Ottawa and neighbouring Gatineau. I never tire of the views. In spring and summer, when the shrubbery is in full bloom, you sometimes have to stand on the edge of the wall to get a vantage point. Far below is the picturesque Ottawa River, along with impressive views of the history museum on the opposite bank, as well as Nepean Point and Champlain’s statue. From the cliffside
perch, you can also see the bustling Lowertown district of Ottawa. In the foreground are Major’s Hill Park and the towering edifices of the National Gallery of Canada and Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica on Sussex Drive. During a Hill tour, I always outline details about the former pathway — parts of which are still visible — that once circled Parliament Hill, high above the rushing river. The pathway has been closed for decades for safety reasons. But in my youth, in the company of Stittsville friend Ernie Moore, I once hopped the gate and tempted the fates by walking all the way around the supposedly “impassable” walkway. We managed to navigate it with relative ease. However, 50 years later, I wouldn’t recommend such an expedition. Visitors who fail to stroll around Parliament’s Centre Block also miss other highlights. Among them is Queen Victoria’s statue, perched high on a mound overlooking the West Block, and the statues of the Famous Five, the pioneering women who were victorious in the 1929 “Persons Case.” There are more than 20 individual or group (bronze) statues on The Hill. For those who have never explored the hidden gems of Parliament Hill, the opportunity exists year-round. But, it’s especially enjoyable at this time of year.

'The Decorator' kicks off at Full Circle Theatre June 11 Full Circle Theatre audiences were treated to a high-energy romp this past weekend when The Decorator, a comedy by Donald Churchill, blew into town. "What a great show!" and "Perfect! Perfect summer fun!" were two of the comments from first weekend audiences. The show runs for four more performances (Thursday through Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoon) this week, so there's still time to catch it. The Decorator is unashamedly a bit of lightweight fun — intended solely to raise some laughs and let people leave the theatre well entertained. From fast and funny dialogue to lots of physical gags, it's definitely a show in the "British farce" tradition that includes TV shows like Are You Being Served? and the long-running Carry On movie series. Don't look for any deep meanings here — but do look for lots of laughs. Bored housewife Marcia, played by Karen Bernique, has been having an affair for three years, whenever her husband takes his annual out-ofcountry business trip. This year, however, she is confronted by Jane (Kristy Angel) who has followed her husband to his tryst. Vengeance is about to ensue, in the form of broken furniture, smashed vases and threatened exposure. What could be more natural than Marcia confiding in, and enlisting the aid of, Walt (Chris Angel), the replacement decorator hired to finish the study. Luckily Walt is only a parttime decorator; he's also a part-time actor and he throws himself into the challenge with artistic fervour. Taking Shakespeare's Othello as his inspiration for his portrayal of a jealous husband, he rants and roars in tragic form, bewildering the two women and bringing the show to its very unexpected conclusion. Karen Bernique is confused and bewildered as her Marcia tries to keep up with Walt, as he uses high tragedy to inspire his characterization of her husband. "Do we have to follow Othello so closely?" she says. "After all, he did strangle his wife." Kristy Angel is haughty, high-handed and
nata was funny? The Decorator concludes its run this week with performances June 8, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. and June 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are just $20 reserved, $22 at the door and just $10 for students. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. No service fees and no credit cards required; cash at the performance is requested. All performances at the barrier-free, air-conditioned Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. The Decorator kicks off BarnDoor Productions' 22nd summer season in fine style, with lots of laughs and "perfect summer fun." Submitted photo

Chris Angel (yes, the two Angels are married in real life, adding another level to the production) is a patient and long-suffering Walt when he is the decorator, adjusting his persona from jovial Cockney workman to Downton Abbey-ish butler as the situation changes, before becoming a true artist taking on the role of Marcia's husband, ranging from Henry IV to Othello to Noel Coward and generating more broken furniture. The show was ably directed by David Bird, with assistance from George Spelvin in the last week as Bird recovered from minor surgery. It moves fast from the very top, beginning with a shriek and ending with Ode To Joy. The set, featuring two rooms and six doors (which is no mean feat to make stable), is a visual treat and the incidental music is drawn from Beethoven — who knew that the Moonlight So-

Outright laughter greets empty nesters in 'Bare Bear Bones' Have you ever wanted to talk to a playwright about his play? Well, now is your chance. Michael Grant will be at the Station Theatre Saturday June 17 and is looking forward to questions from the audience after the performance of his play Bare Bear Bones. This hilarious comedy, written by Grant and directed by local Sheila Jasiak, runs from June 16 to 25; it’s funny, thoughtful and bares everything between a middle-aged couple at a hiccup point in their marriage. With camping season not far off, the Bare Bear Bones acting troupe is having great fun putting Smiths Falls’ mid-June show together. The story goes like this, and it’s one many middle-agers will relate to. Norman and Ruth are empty nesters. After many years raising their kids they realize they’ve lost the spark in their marriage. They take the advice of a discount counsellor and head out on a road trip to somewhere they remem-
ber being in love — The Bear Bones Family Campground. Car problems and a late arrival place them in an exposed spot the next morning when they learn the campground is now known as The Bear Bones Alternative Lifestyle Campground. They can’t leave, so the very conservative couple toughs it out only to find that in order to avoid all the “flops and giggles” surrounding them, they have to work together. They do, and learn a lot about each other in the process. This is Jasiak’s third play as director — Nana’s Naughty Knickers in 2015 and Things My Mother Taught Me in 2016, both written by Katherine DiSavino. Jasiak's also an actress, with 12 roles under her belt, the latest Over the River and Through the Woods at the Studio Theatre in Perth in 2016. But when she read Bare Bear Bones by Michael Grant and it made her “laugh and cry” she knew immediately she wanted to direct it.

Economy driving risk of collision fatalities up You would think with all the recent advances in auto collision mitigation technology, we would soon start to see the fruits of the labour of countless vehicle engineers and designers. We now have vehicles that can automatically brake when an obstacle is detected in their path, and can autonomously keep us in our lanes, and warn us of vehicles approaching from various blind spots. But, a recent study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) of the U.S. shows the trend for fatal collisions is actually increasing, not decreasing. Those lessons learned from south of the 49th parallel are just as applicable on the north side of that great undefended line. And the reason for this uptake might surprise you, although not those who study and analyze traffic patterns and the behaviour on our roadways. "Vehicles continue to improve, performing better and better in crash tests," says David Zuby, IIHS executive vice president and chief research officer. "The latest driver death rates show there is a limit to how much these changes can accomplish without other kinds of efforts." Charles Farmer, IIHS VP adds that: “Road deaths have been trending downward since the early 1970s, with an especially large dip beginning in 2008. However, that changed in 2015, with deaths increasing seven per cent over the previous year. Preliminary data indicates the toll increased in 2016 as well.” One of the chief reasons for this increase, according to the IIHS, is an improving economy sending more drivers out on the road for more distance covered in a more risky, less attentive manner. According to a
TELL SOMEONE!
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
learned colleague A.C. Gullon BSc., PEng, this isn’t anything new. In his studies for various governments and regulatory bodies around the globe, he locked in this correlation between collisions and good economies in almost every country and region he visited and worked in. He termed this situation the ‘absent-minded professor syndrome’, indicating when a driver’s mind is occupied by business, he or she is less likely to pay attention to the job at hand, safely piloting their vehicles on busy roads. While Mr. Gullon often expressed his statistics in the more accurate collision/fatality per distance driven, the IIHS report theirs as occurrences per million registered vehicle years (a registered vehicle year is one vehicle registered for one year). One of the key economic drivers, the employment rate, is used by the IIHS to develop
their statistical predictor models. They found that a decline in the unemployment rate from six per cent to five per cent is associated with a two-per-cent increase in vehicle miles travelled. That jump in exposure leads to an equivalent two-percent jump in fatalities. However, after accounting for the change in miles travelled, the decline in the unemployment rate is associated with an additional two-per-cent increase in road deaths. In other words, only half of the effect of an improved economy on traffic deaths is due to increased driving. For auto shoppers, the IIHS crunched their data to provide some indication of how different vehicle types and makes/ models fare in keeping their drivers and passengers alive. As you might suspect, smaller sub-compacts offer less protection than SUVs, and higherend luxury brands are better than entry level mainstreamers. And to confirm we can’t rely on new and developing technology, Mr. Farmer of the IIHS added: “Improvements in vehicle technology are important,
but we also need to address old problems such as speeding and driving while impaired.” Based on the 2014 model year, the vehicles with the enviable record of reporting zero fatalities per million vehicle years registered were the Audi A6 4WD, Audi Q7 4WD, BMW 535i 4WD, Jeep Cherokee 4WD, Lexus CT 200h, Lexus RX 350 2WD, Mazda CX-9 2WD Mercedes Benz M class 4WD, Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4WD, and VW Tiguan 2WD. On the opposite and deadlier end of the scale, the top five vehicles with the worst fatality record were the 2014 Hyundai Accent sedan, Kia Rio sedan, Scion tC, Chevrolet Spark, and Nissan Versa. Of course, it would be easy to argue these two categories of vehicles generally attract completely different types of drivers — such as, someone driving an expensive BMW might be more careful driving it than an owner of an entry-priced subcompact import. But that doesn’t explain why reasonably priced vehicles like the Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-9, and VW Tiguan

BBBS golf tourney a big success Supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County were on hand to enjoy a fun day of golf at Mapleview in Perth on Saturday. It was another sold-out event, with 144 golfers taking part, and enjoying the beautiful course while supporting a great local children’s charity. Perth 3M Canada was this year’s title sponsor, and sent two teams to participate, as well as donated items for the very popular take home bags that each golfer gets. The participants were well fed during the day. Tim Hortons donated the coffee and muffins, Garden Market Smiths Falls provided fresh fruit for a mid-morning snack and dessert to accompany the homemade cookies provided by Wendy Andison. Shoppers Drug Mart in Smiths Falls provided pop, Frito Lay donated chips. Blair & Sons donated water and ice. There were many games that added to the day’s fun, including a putting contest that provided many golfers with Tim Hortons’ Gift Cards donated by Leo Adams Investments and a trip to Las Vegas donated by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac in Smiths Falls. Thank you to Crain and Schooley Part of Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited for providing a Hole in One. Details Reality Inc.— Linda Hewson, provided more fun for our golfers as our Prize Cart Sponsor. Another lucky golfer won a hotel and car-care package donated by the The Hinton Auto Group. Big Brothers Big Sisters were happy to have many other great sponsors as well. Raw Roofing was our new Lunch is On Us sponsor and 4 Degrees Brewing Company was the beverage cart sponsor this year. Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC was the cart sponsor for this Year’s GFK’s tournament Metroland Media was once again the
media sponsor, helping to spread the news about the 3M Golf for Kids Sake Tournament. Having Smiths Falls Canadian Tire as a golf sponsor was an extra treat for our golfers this year. Likewise, we were excited to have a new driving range sponsor this year, Smiths Falls Kia. Autumn’s Fine Flowers once again provided each table with beautiful centrepieces. Prodecal was the sign sponsor this year, helping to ensure more money was raised for mentoring programs in Lanark County. “Mentoring programs cost money”, quotes Jennifer Miller, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “Having trained social service workers on staff to ensure volunteers are carefully screened is really important. Events like this one help us cover those costs.” 605 children received service through the agency in 2016. Each volunteer that offers to work with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children by a trained social worker. Thorough background checks are conducted, along with interviewing and training. Children are also given safety training, and go through an interview process, along with their families, to ensure that each match is set up to be successful. Matches are then monitored closely to ensure its success, and the safety and well-being of the child. National standards are followed throughout the process. The agency does not receive sustainable government funding, so relies on events like this golf tournament to fund its programs. More than 15 volunteers worked tirelessly to put on the event, which raised over $18,000 for the local charity. For more information about this organization of its programs, call 613-283-0570.

LAWS has host of barn cats looking for a new farm to call home In the last few weeks, we have featured some super-cuddly, friendly cats who want nothing more than to enjoy human companionship — and they have found loving furever homes. We also featured former street cats who would rather have nothing to do with humans — and they have found homes in nice barns where they will be safe hanging out with other cat buddies and all the mice and rats they care to chase. This week's featured cats are somewhere in between these two extremes. They are all former street/ colony cats who are more-or-less socialized, a bit shy but not at all aggressive. We believe that with a little more encouragement and reassurance from patient owners in a caring home these deserving creatures will all learn to be trusting, loving and lovable pets.
Maple and Marvelous are two handsome youngsters, barely out of kittenhood, have been at LAWS for 2 months. They look similar — both small, slim, pale orange in colour — but they are easy to tell apart after only a short while. They were initially both very timid and ran away when approached rather than be touched. Now Maple comes out to greet visitors, especially if treats are a possibility, and both he and Marvelous enjoy being stroked. They are both active and playful and while they are not comfortable being held for long they are both very close to being perfect pets.

Artistic director wins prestigious award
If you ever need proof that nice guys finish first, here it is. Perth's Studio Theatre is thrilled to announce that the 2017 Theatre Ontario Michael Spence Award for Contributions to Community Theatre has been presented to our own artistic director, actor and play director David Parry. This important award honours individuals for their sustained involvement, generosity of spirit, and commitment to helping community theatre flourish within their region. David was enthusiastically nominated by his colleagues at the Studio Theatre, and recommended for the award by the Eastern Ontario Drama League. “I was overwhelmed to learn that my peers at Studio Theatre Productions had nominated me for this prestigious award, and subsequently to receive the approval of colleagues in EODL,” said David. “I have known and admired all of the previous recipients from the ranks of EODL and I am truly honoured to be included among them.” For nearly four decades, David has pursued his passion for the theatre. His influence has been felt across eastern Ontario, primarily in the Ottawa Region, and especially in Perth. He has been involved as an actor and director in more than 70 productions, and has worked behind the scenes in countless others. David continues to work tirelessly to attract, mentor and motivate talented new actors and directors — from Perth and beyond — believing that this enriches us all. The Michael Spence Award was presented
Marvelous
Luke This handsome black-and-white tuxedo, recent arrival 2-year old Luke, is the most shy of all of this week's featured cats. He tends to tuck himself away when there are people around, but accepts being stroked if you catch him snoozing in the sunshine. Barn cats We currently have some more rescued cats who resist all our efforts to socialize them. They will be much happier living in a barn than in a home and they will take care of your rodent problems in exchange for shelter, food and water. If you can give one or more of these cats an alternative to living in the shelter please call us.

CPHS student receives Colby McGeachy Professional Corporation bursary BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
A Grade 12 Carleton Place High School (CPHS) student has won a $1,500 bursary from Almonte-based Colby McGeachy Professional Corporation (CMPC). Andrew Ryan of Carleton Place was named the public accounting firm’s 2017 recipient on May 15, and he received his certificate and cheque on June 5, with his mom Andrea Winckel, brother Liam Ryan and girlfriend Abby Camelon looking on. Also in attendance on Monday afternoon were Dawn McGeachy and Angela Rogers of CMPC, Beth Sinclair from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and Ingrid Harris of Almonte Community Coordinators. Rogers, Harris and Sinclair made up the selection committee. The CMPC bursary, open to graduating students from CPHS, Notre Dame Catholic High School and Almonte and District High School, was established to assist a student who demonstrates academic excellence and commitment to his or her studies and who is pursuing a bachelor of commerce, accounting science, economics, finance or business degree. By way of an essay, “applicants must detail who they are as well as explain how the bursary will benefit them,” McGeachy explained. Regarding the submissions, “we are really proud to have such a great calibre of young people in our community,” she added. Former teachers, Harris and Sinclair could tell Andrew’s essay was

“There are lots of financial needs around here,” Kauk said. “It (money) will get put to good use.” Back in the early ‘20s, the dream for Elliot Hall was to have a place to use for the church’s programs — a place for the community. “The things that happened in there are now happening in the new parish hall,” Kauk stressed, and “for us, as a parish, Elliot Hall has served its purpose.” The old hall does not have a historic designation, but there is a history there. “I am not sure how many (residential) units are planned, and I am not sure how much of the building (McNaughton) plans to retain,” Kauk said. “However, what was a home for our parish life will now become a home for individuals, and that is a good thing. “It is a gorgeous site ... right near the river.” Attempts to reach McNaughton as of press time for comment were not successful. Regarding the sale, “we are relieved to be able to reclaim our investment and put it towards the ministry we feel called to do,” Kauk said. The only stipulation the church made was that McNaughton could not sell the property to someone and put in uses that were consid-

Huron University College. “In our church you are ordained a deacon first, followed by a priest,” Kauk explained. “Rosemary will be ordained a priest in the fall.” Together, Kauk and Parker will provide services for St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place, St. James Anglican Church in Franktown and St. John’s Anglican Church in Innisville. “The two of us will be covering the three congregations,” Kauk explained. “Rev. David Vavasour is
retiring.” Vavasour and Kauk have worked together to prepare for the future, and the duo even presided over a joint meeting of the congregations. “Everyone is on board,” Kauk said. Carleton Place is experiencing growth, and it requires more resources to keep pace with that growth and provide ministry. St. James Anglican Church has lay readers, someone who is trained, qualified and licensed to lead morning prayer service and to preach. “We have four lay readers here, and they will also be essential in making this all work,” Kauk stressed. “They too are going to be taking services in Franktown and Innisville and sometimes in Carleton Place.” The four individuals are Sylvia Giles, Peter Hicks and Brenda and Joe Million. “These four people all have day jobs, but they have been spending evenings and weekends training to do this, so on any given Sunday it could be any one of the six of us taking services in one of the three churches,” Kauk explained. St. James Anglican Church is also in the process of developing a new website. Kauk called himself and wardens Carol Dryburgh and Nancy Higham “a great team.”

“A priest by himself or herself is not the ministry of a parish,” he continued. “It really takes leadership at all levels.” A Friday playgroup was recently established for moms and babies. “We call it St. Jimmy’s Playgroup,” Kauk said with a smile. “They have also been meeting, having potluck dinners and family fun nights.” St. James Anglican Church was founded in 1834, and it grew out of the Franktown parish. In the early 1800s Franktown was the centre of life. “This church (in Carleton Place) was built as an outreach from there,” Kauk said, and “it is neat that we are reforming that partnership.” “There is a new beginning in this parish,” the minister continued. “A new beginning with Franktown and Innisville and a new beginning with the younger members of our congregation.”

Mills Community Support CEO stepping down after nine years BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
After nine years, Mills Community Support (MCS) chief executive officer Mike Coxon is calling it a day. MCS board chair Karen Milligan announced Coxon’s retirement at the end of June, during the organization’s 2017 Community Builders Celebration at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum on Thursday, May 25. “Mike is stepping down and we have some very big shoes to fill,” she told the crowd. Milligan and board vice chair Bob McGaraughty were tasked with finding a replacement for Coxon. “We have had some time to think about this, with Mike telling us three years ago he was leaving in 2017,” Mil-
ligan said. She noted a succession committee was formed in 2015, and “we have been working very hard to engage a search firm.” MCS is close to naming Coxon’s replacement. “Being a unique individual who has given an awful lot to this organization, no one can replace Mike,” Milligan said. “However, he has given us a solid foundation to work from.” The MCS board is very committed to finding a leader who is going to bring it into the future and take over where Coxon left off. “We look forward to honouring Mike at our annual general meeting (AGM) and at an event in July,” Milligan said. The MCS AGM takes place on
Mike Coxon June 20 at Pakenham Public School, beginning at 4:30 p.m. According to marketing and communications co-ordinator Kathryn Stevens, “plans are still taking shape for the event in July.” On Thursday night, community
builder honouree Fraser Scantlebury, a former MCS board member, noted: “Mike has brought a lot to this organization. I respect him as a fellow expert in governance.” He added, “Telling people and teaching people about governance,” Coxon is one of the few Canadians registered with BoardSource, an American non-profit organization founded in 1988. Moreover, “he has worked very hard and diligently for United Way Lanark County...Better Together workshops, Asset Based Community Development and Welcoming Communities,” Scantlebury said. Scantlebury is United Way Lanark County’s executive director. Former MCS board chair Barb Taylor hired Coxon in 2008.

“I think she thought I was not going to stay around,” Coxon joked. “Mike is right,” Taylor said. “I was part of the hiring committee, along with two men.” After reading Coxon’s resume over and over, she told her counterparts, “I really think it is a stepping stone...I really do no want to go through this again.” However, the group interviewed Coxon, asking him lots of questions and listening to him talk. “Again, I remarked it is a stepping stone, but the two fellas said this was the candidate,” Taylor revealed. “I had to give in.” “Thank goodness I did,” she continued, and “I am glad the stepping stone took nine years to come to an end.”

Chamber members hear about Carleton Place development projects BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
No longer a small town, Carleton Place is seeing explosive growth. “We are seeing a real boom here in Carleton Place,” manager of developmental services Joanna Bowes said. She noted it was due to the work of present and past councils, in addition to the municipality’s planning and building departments. “Everyone is working together to attract businesses and people to town,” Bowes added. Bowes was the key speaker at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce’s Business at Breakfast meeting on May 24, held at the Thruway Restaurant. She noted it was her job to assist council and members of the public in all matters related to land use planning (commercial, residential and industrial). “People come to me if they want to build a deck or construct a Walmart or subdivision,” Bowes added.

New Bike Share program launches in Carleton Place Bike lovers and downtown dwellers, take note: Carleton Place has launched its new Bike Share program. During the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce’s Business at Breakfast meeting on May 24, held at the Thruway Restaurant, communications co-ordinator Amanda Charania noted four cruiser bikes with baskets are now available to locals and tourists for short day trips in exchange for a modest rental fee. Charania and chamber general manager Jackie Kavanagh developed the Bike Share program. The bikes are in a rack outside the Carleton Place
& District Chamber of Commerce and Information Centre, located at 170 Bridge St. The rental fee is $5 per day, and bikes come with a lock. Staff at the information centre administer the Bike Share program. Charania noted a similar program has been successfully offered in recent years in Mississippi Mills. Right Bike Service in Ottawa sold off its equipment to the town at a cost of $2,347.50. The municipality budgeted an additional $500 for helmets, signage, locks and servicing. The total $2,850 will come from the tourism trade show budget line that is not being used in 2017.

servicing. The Bike Share program is delivered under the town’s insurance policy. With new docking to be installed on the Mississippi River right outside the chamber office, “we are hoping it will encourage
people to bring their boats downtown,” Charania said. “They can dock, rent a bike and go get some groceries or visit some businesses.” “We are really excited about this,” she stressed. See BIKE page A/CP6

There are at least 18 bike racks around town. Earlier this year, the town learned its Canada 150 grant application was successful. The monies will assist with new docking and channel marking. During the policy review meeting on April 11, council members discussed the location for the new docking, with deputy mayor Jerry Flynn insisting the north side of the river near Water Street was a better fit. Although not everyone felt the same way, they all agreed it was important to get the docks installed this year. In the end, the river’s south side got the
nod. Other locations will be considered in 2018. Last summer, volunteers from the Mississippi Lakes Association surveyed the river, charting the depth of the water. Flynn told this newspaper, “I engaged Frank Mills and Ed Carew to do the mapping of the river, and it took three days.” The deputy mayor spent one of those days with Carew. “Ed installed the sonar equipment that the town purchased on his pontoon boat, and he calibrated the equipment and verified its operation,” Flynn explained. Staff integrated the water depth data into the town’s GIS and pro-
duced mapping that shows the water depth related to shore features. “I believe with Frank and Ed’s expertise we got a very good reading of the river bed,” Flynn said. “Their time was volunteered, and council greatly appreciates what they did.” As a bonus, the Carleton Place & Beckwith Historical Museum has located an historical anchor that was removed from the Mississippi River some time ago that can be displayed at the docks in the downtown.
In partnership with ServiceOntario, Carleton Place has launched BizPaL, a free, online portal for permits and licences on its website: www.carletonplace.ca/bizpal. “Specifically, it is information related to opening a business,” Charania said. She noted, the town hall is open Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; however, “in the evening or on the weekend if you want to start the

DEVELOPMENT
From page A/CP4
Place Colonnade. Cardel Homes acquired the land in 2012. Miller’s Crossing will offer a total of 282 units: single-family dwellings, semidetached homes and townhomes. “Conditional building permits have been issued,” Bowes indicated,” and “we are waiting on final details prior to execution of the subdivision agreement.” Behind the Thruway Restaurant and Walmart, Nu-Globe Developments is overseeing the construction of 280 units: single-family, semidetached and townhome dwellings. Moreover, there are commercial lands along McNeely Avenue and Coleman Street. Taber Street subdivision is located west of Napoleon Street, east of Mississippi Road and north of Taber Street. “The Taber Street subdivision has draft approval from the County of Lanark,” Bowes said. “Conditions are still to be met and agreements signed.” There are three townhomes and one apartment proposed for a total of 19 units. “Cavanagh Construction Ltd. and I are developing that site,” Wally Thorbjornsson told the Canadian Gazette. “There will multiple builders on the lots that Cavanagh did, and I know one of them is Talos.” “For my lots, I will build on some myself and sell some to smaller, local builders,” Thorbjornsson added. Devcore’s Boyd Street subdivision has been draft approved. The developer is currently working towards meeting all conditions prior to signing the subdivision agreement. Bowes noted this development holds 24 semi-detached units, 20 townhomes units and a 19-unit apartment block.

Carleton Place’s manager of developmental services Joanna Bowes was the key speaker at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce’s Business at Breakfast meeting on May 24, held at the Thruway Restaurant. She spoke about the growth the town is currently experiencing. In addition to Jackson Ridge, the Boyd Street neighbours the Taber Street subdivision. “Most recently, in the pre-consultation stage, is the Bodnar property, which is over by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority,” Bowes explained. “There was some discussion at council relating to the stormwater
pond in Roy Brown Park...” The developer is Cavanagh Construction Ltd. “At the time, although we do not have a complete application yet, 613 units are proposed for the property: singles, townhomes and apartments,” the manager of developmental services said.

A public meeting will take place at the town hall on June 20 regarding three projects – class three development permit applications – recently received for properties on Bridge Street., Beckwith Street and McGregor Street between Coleman and Miguel streets. “Bridge Street (#351) is a nice project,” Bowes said. “It is located near Carambeck Community Centre.” The project proposes two two-storey apartment buildings, a total of 40 units. There will be 51 outdoor parking spaces. “Entrances are accessible, and I believe the units are mid-range in price,” Bowes said. “It will be nicely landscaped.” On Beckwith Street (#11), just beside the Market Square, 51 units are proposed. There will be a four-storey apartment building with two commercial spaces on the street level. “This will bring people into the downtown core,” Bowes stressed. A total of 64 parking spaces have been provided both inside and outside of the building. Plans for the property located on McGregor Street between Coleman and Miguel streets, near Giant Tiger and the Cinnamon Suites condos, proposes the construction of three threeor-four-storey apartment buildings, for a total of 148 residential units. In addition to 211 parking spaces
Highway 7 South One of the largest projects, which has been going on for a few years now is the development of Highway 7 South. “Currently, we are in the process of constructing a ($4 million) pumping station in order to support this amount of growth,” Bowes said. Phase one is the construction of 380 residential units, which has already begun with Miller’s Crossing and various landowners in the area. Bowes explained a sub chapter of phase one sees 760 residential units, in addition to 225,000 square feet of employment lands over near the corner of Highways 7 and 15. Phase two involves 1,213 residential until, on top of 450,000 square feet of commercial lands and 450,000 square feet of employment lands. “Phase three calls for 1,500 residential units,” Bowes said. She added: “As you can see, the residential side of Carleton Place is really growing. We are going to have a lot of people coming here over the next 10-15 years, and they should be able to support any sort of commercial business that come to town.”

Quel est le probleme, Jacques? Jack MacLaren – where do I begin? I’ll begin where I reached the tipping point with the latest in a long list of shenanigans involving the MPP for Carleton – Mississippi Mills. It was his press release announcement on Monday, May 29 that “After months of deliberation and discussion with my constituents,” that he was crossing the aisle to the Trillium Party of Ontario. (Actually, before now, there had been no Trillium MPPs at Queen’s Park, so he had to carve out his own beachhead there.) Of course, this has nothing to do with Ontario P.C. leader Patrick Brown kicking MacLaren out of the Tory caucus in Queen’s Park on Sunday, May 28. Even if we take MacLaren at his word, the timing is, to all appearances, very suspicious. It reeks of the proverbial, found down on the farm. Now the recording, obtained by CFRA 580 AM in Ottawa, is from 2012. To be fair to MacLaren, it’s also suspicious that a video that had been sitting in someone’s drawer for about five years suddenly finds its way into the hands of a Tory-friendly radio station (home of Lowell Green, after all), at a time when Brown was looking for a face-saving way to show MacLaren the door. According to the Toronto Star, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark said that it came as news to him that MacLaren was looking to jump ship. After all, while MacLaren told the Star that he no longer speaks to Brown, he did co-chair his leadership campaign in 2015. At this point, it doesn’t matter that MacLaren left for some no-name political entity. For as much of a maverick as he liked to paint himself in the run-up to the 2011 election, defeating Norm Sterling for the Progressive Conservative nomination, it’s unlikely he could have won without the Tory infrastructure behind him. He can run again, this time under the Trillium banner. Here’s something else that irks me about this whole thing. From the time of the execution of Louis Riel, yes, the Tories have had a tough time of it appealing to Francophone Canadians. Thankfully, that is now changing. The new federal Conservative leader, Andrew Scheer, a former Speaker of the House of Commons, although from Saskatchewan, is bilingual, as was his predecessor as party
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says leader, Stephen Harper. Scheer knows that, to be a serious contender to govern this country, you have to be able to speak to the roughly 25 per cent of our citizens who speak French as their first language. Here’s what I find really galling in MacLaren’s anti-Francophone words. Who else was on the ballot alongside Scheer last month? A Franco-Ontarien, Pierre Lemieux, the former MP for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. “You don’t have to convince me what’s wrong with the French language in eastern Ontario,” MacLaren was quoted in the video, according to the National Post. (Is Lemieux, a social conservative like yourself Jack, ‘one of them,’ then? Is he part of this supposed “problem”?) So what is, exactly, wrong with the French language around here? What would MacLaren say to Lemieux about his use of French, or Lemieux’s former constituents using French? What about the French language schools in his riding or the bilingual bureaucrats who call his riding home? He doesn’t say. But what he said next was maddening, in that it was both condescending to voters, and implied that his party had a secret agenda (here we go again…), a wink-and-a-nod dog whistle to his “one of us” voters. He said, “We have lots of things we’re going to do that we won’t say before the election because we want to get elected.” Phew. Let the stink whaft off of that for a moment. While politicians can be economical with the truth, here MacLaren is saying that he is intentionally keeping voters in the dark about his real plans. If you have to hide your plan, you can’t stand behind it. I’ve interviewed MacLaren before. Found him to be personally polite and amiable. I know and respect people who have voted for him and worked on his campaign. They feel let down. I’m sure he’s a nice enough fellow, one of those down home boys who don’t mean no harm. But he’s done enough harm now for all involved.

Franklin exchange students visit Sam Bat
Secondary school students taking part in the Carleton Place-Franklin (Tennessee) Youth Exchange enjoyed a tour of Sam Bat, the Carleton Place baseball bat manufacturing company last Friday. Holding a giant bat (used for display purposes) are Kaitlyn Smith (Franklin), Mikayla Bowes (Carleton Place), Abby Booth (Carleton Place), Skyler Pruitt (Franklin) and Samantha Fogelberg (Franklin). This year marks the ninth Youth Exchange involving Carleton Place and its Sister City of Franklin, located just south of Nashville. The exchange program is co-sponsored by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee and the Franklin and Williamson County Sister City Board. The communities have been twinned since 2005. This year’s exchange concludes in August when the Carleton Place contingent travels to Tennessee for a week-long visit.

The four students competed with approximately 450 other young finalists from Grades 7 to 12 for excellence and other awards totalling $1 million. The all-expense paid trip included participating in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) activities, sharing their projects with the public and wellorganized trips to see sites and learn about the host province, Saskatchewan, and its people.

Sloan and Sayyid discovered that stain-guard and water-guard products increase the flammability of upholstery fabrics which increases the risk of injury in a fire. Besides the benefits from all the activities that were presented, finalists all agreed that making friends with other finalists who “like to do the same things” and “have the same drive and expectations for their futures” was the best part of the experience. The Rideau St. Lawrence Science Fair Committee encourages all youth in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville to think about beginning research on a topic that interests them for our local Rideau St. Lawrence Science Fair to be held next spring.

Caring for ~ and Supporting ~ Seniors By Mark Gormley, Emergency Department Nurse, AGH & CPDMH World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is held every year on June 15th. The purpose is to shine a light on a problem that is rarely talked about. Elder abuse goes beyond physical harm. It can also be emotional, verbal, financial, sexual, or spiritual. It can also include intentional or unintentional neglect. At Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital, we work closely with our health and community partners to help identify and prevent elder abuse. We are committed to working together to care for local seniors. Elder Abuse Ontario research has shown that most often it is bystanders – family, neighbours, co-workers – who are closest to the abusive situations and can see what is happening. They know that something isn’t right, but don’t know what to do. Everyone has a role to play in supporting seniors in our society. This year’s theme is ‘Starting the Conversation to Stop the Abuse of Older Adults’. We want to dothat and raise awareness about elder abuse and the impact that it has on the quality of life of our most vulnerable citizens. For more information, visit www.elderabuseontario.com or call the Senior Safety Line at 1-866-299-1011.

Almonte Celtfest lines up to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday Almonte Celtfest promises to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday with another rousing lineup of entertainment reflecting our Celtic roots, July 7, 8, and 9 in Gemmill Park at the heart of Almonte. Once again, the family-friendly festival begins at 6 p.m. on Friday evening with performances by three bands — Occasional Pudding, MacIsaac & MacKenzie, and De Temps Antan. As usual, admission is by donation at the park gates, and everyone is invited to bring a lawn chair to sit in the beautiful natural amphitheatre surrounding the main stage. Food and refreshment vendors, including the beer gardens, will be available, although people are welcome to bring their own picnic, if desired. The excitement continues Saturday, July 8, with Celtic College music workshops (topics to be announced) in the morning, and the day’s entertainment on the main stage in Gemmill Park beginning with opening ceremonies at noon. Master of ceremonies Dai Bassett will keep things hopping throughout the festival, announcing acts by a wide-ranging sample of Celtic performers, including Fiddlehead Music Theatre, Chad Wolfe Step-dancers, Triple Trouble and Alex George, Ottawa Celtic Choir, and Moore & McGregor. There is no going home for supper, because you won’t want to miss the outstanding headliners of the day, including Clan Hannigan, Anna

Since 2004, this financial recognition is awarded to an Ottawa Valley youth 25 years or younger whose talents are extraordinary in the Celtic music genre.

We would like to express our appreciation to friends, coworkers and customers for their words of condolences, cards and charitable donations in memory of our Aunt Ellen “Margaret” Baker. Very special thanks to the Staff of Rosebridge Manor for the great care you provided Aunt Margaret in the last fifteen months of her 107 years, (always with dignity and respect to her). Last but not least to Scott and all his Staff at Blair & Son Funeral Home for their help with the funeral. Scott…we cannot express our thanks enough for all that you did for us. Your words and personal touches at Aunt Margaret’s funeral were most befitting to her. Your inclusion of the Blue Jays Song (she was a big fan of the team), along with the nurses prayer and the Canadian flag with respect to her service in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corp, (Nursing Sister) would have meant so much to her.

But when Saturday came we were off shopping. We never knew what town or city we would end up in. Come Sunday we saved them for our husbands. We took so many trips together. I have tons of memories that I will never forget. You were My FRIEND, My SISTER and My CONFIDENT. R.I.P. Dear friend. Till we meet again. Love Andie (Joanne) BIG Hugs To Both

Father’s Day Lanark County gift basket awaits one lucky dad Given that Father’s Day normally elicits the question, “what to get for the man who already has everything,” a group of Lanark County businesses have put together something no father could resist. The gift is a basket of goodies that speak to all of the senses, a collection of “made in Lanark County” coffee, chocolate, maple syrup products, fudge, a sundae, a blanket, a history book, a tracking ruler and a food tour. If this isn't enough, the basket also includes free beer, theatre tickets, a spa visit and a bed and breakfast discount for Dad and his guest, and a local train ride for the whole family. Even the gift basket itself has its roots in Lanark County, and will include a cycling map, courtesy of the Lanark County Tourism Association, to help the lucky winner find his way to all the great prizes. Entering to win this massive collection of gifts is as simple as clicking a computer mouse. To have a chance at winning the draw (which can be entered by dads or those giving gifts to dad), entrants need only like the Facebook pages of participating businesses and leave a comment. The draw will take place on the Friday before Father’s Day, and the winner’s name will be posted on each of the participating businesses’ Facebook pages. The initiative is a followup activity to the Ignite Lanark gathering, held in April, where tourism operators discussed different strategies for activating the potential for experiential travel. The winner’s basket includes a two-hour spa visit for two from Circa 1894 Day Spa, which features the hot tubs, the Finnish and the FAR Infrared Saunas, along with quiet time on three levels of decking — https://www. facebook.com/circa1894Spa/. There’s also free beer to be enjoyed at Cartwright Springs Brewery. Fathers needn’t win the grand prize to nonetheless be treated to a tasting of all six beers they have on tap — https://www.facebook.com/CartwrightSpringsBrewery/. Also included are a Lanark County original tracking ruler from Wilderness Rhythms (https://www.facebook.com/ChadCliffordWildernessRhythms/): designed and made right in the area, as well as a ticket to a food tour of the winner’s choice from the Good Food Tour, offering walking food and cultural tours highlighting mouth-watering experiences and a slice of history. It’s an opportunity to see, smell, and taste what shapes Almonte, from its food to art, history, and culture — https://www.facebook. com/thegoodfoodtour/. Other prizes include: “Timewise Carleton Place … Our Town, a Glance Back,” from Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage MuseSee FATHER’S DAY page 31

Municipal support remains for reconfiguration of Puppets Up! BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
The Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival is back — just on a slightly smaller scale. During its May 16 meeting, Mississippi Mills council agreed that the festival will retain its 2017 municipal grant of $5,000 to be used to fund the newly-formed Puppets Up! Presents. The festival, which marked its 12th anniversary in 2016, called it quits in March due to a deficit and the dwindling amount of federal and provincial grants they had received over the last few years. “Despite decreased attendance over the years, Puppets Up! ended the 2016 festival in a deficit position,” explained community economic and cultural co-ordinator Tiffany MacLaren in her report to council. “The festival committee held special fundraisers in December and raised $12,000 to pay all outstanding invoices.” “However, the Puppets Up! board of directors made a decision to cancel the 2017 (event) as they were concerned a similar situation to 2016 could occur … in addition, they have been unable to attract a major sponsor since 2013.” The annual operating budget for the festival was $150,000 in 2016 and 50 per cent of those funds came through sponsorship and grants. But the festival committee has decided to forge ahead, changing their name to Puppets Up! Presents and offering a series of activities and events throughout the year. They have already appeared at the Mississippi Mills Volunteer Reception, the Almonte General Hospital’s whiskey tasting fundraiser on May 3, and operated a puppet workshop at Ottawa Children’s Festival from May 10 to 14. “They have committed to performing at our Mississippi Mills Canada Day celebrations at no charge,” MacLaren commented. “They will provide some walking entertainment for the car show attendees and puppets Sir John A MacDonald and the Queen will perform on stage in Gemmill Park.” Other events include loaning out the Humanettes puppets to Pakenham June 30 and providing entertainment at the Pakenham Fair Aug. 19. They have also offered up their expertise to Almonte Celtfest, who will be taking advantage of their Ontario

Job Creation (JCP) employee for 2017. “This program provides paid staff to the festival at a cost of $100 per week. Puppets Up! paid $1,300 for the program,” MacLaren stated. “They have been unable to get a refund on the JCP fee since their cancellation. Board members voted to offer their JCP staff to the board of Celtfest. Celtfest gladly accepted and Puppets Up! chair Allan Martin has proceeded to work with Gavin Donnelly, co-chair of Celtfest to put this in place.” Originally they had also planned to host a scaled-down version of the festival on Sunday, Aug. 13, but it has since been cancelled. “Puppets Up! let me know just today they won’t be doing the show on the 13th anymore,” MacLaren said. “ … They wanted me to make sure I let council know that prior to your decision.” She noted staff recommended their funding remain in place for 2017 as they could use the monies for the planned activities throughout the year “that will add value and entertainment to the municipality.” Coun. Denzil Ferguson wondered if the Aug. 13 event was one of the group’s major expenditures for the year. “It was definitely one of the most expensive of all the things they had to do … but council has to make that decision,” MacLaren answered. Mayor Shaun McLaughlin suggested council “cut them a little slack,” and allow the group to keep the $5,000 and return whatever they don’t use at the end of the year. “They’re going to be doing Puppets Up! events for tourism this year and have spent 12 years bringing thousands of people to this community every summer. I think we can cut them a little slack,” he stated. Noting the municipality receives good value for their money through community support, Coun. John Edwards said the grant should remain. As Mississippi Mills permitted Almonte in Concert to retain its grant in 2016 with a reduced lineup, “we’re not setting a precedent,” he said. “This is a showcase for attracting young families,” he continued. “Without blinking an eye, I can think of this as good economic development.” Coun. Duncan Abbott indicated Puppets Up! shouldn’t have to return unused funds. “This is a group that has put lord knows how much money into this town through their efforts … it’s $5,000. This is done, let’s move on. To ask to get $2,000 back from $5,000 doesn’t look good on us.” “With the three on three (basketball tournament), we gave them money and they came back the following year strong … there’s a good example of a small group that has thrived since then,” added Coun. Paul Watters.

Lots of support for fifth annual Hike for Hub Hospice Palliative Care On Sunday, May 7, a group of hardy hikers gathered at the Mill of Kintail for the fifth annual Hike for Hospice. This yearly event raises money for Hub Hospice Palliative Care (HHPC), a “hospice without walls.” HHPC provides end-oflife support for those within our community who wish to remain in their own homes. Jane Henderson, chair of Hub Hospice, officiated at the opening ceremonies and Ed Lawrence delighted everyone with his ribbon-cutting skills to commence the hike, amid onlookers who were eager to get moving. Although the weather was not favourable, trilliums were in full bloom in the shelter of trees, and trout lilies and violets — among other wildflowers — were poking through. Adults and children were seen puddle-jumping and dogs ignored the mud.
Dr. Mark van Campen of Mississippi Animal Hospital provided the walkers with coffee, sweets and advice, and the dogs with treats, toys and water bowls. Jessica’s Syrian Food offered tempting foods, and the Civitan barbecue churned out hotdogs and hamburgers for those with hungry appetites after their hike. A highlight was the petting zoo with baby goats and llamas. They were busy grazing through the fresh grass in front of the gatehouse, oblivious of their audience. What shone through was the steadfast support for Hub Hospice. Despite inclement weather, a stalwart group turned out through the chilly wind and intermittent snow. Thank you for your support.

Pakenham Public School unveils special quilt to honour Canada 150 BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Pakenham Public School marked Canada’s 150th birthday a little early May 12, with the entire school getting in on the celebrations. Principal Dave Balfour welcomed parents and guests, including Upper Canada District School Board superintendent Susan Edwards, for the afternoon of events, which included displays, the unveiling of a quilt, and was finished off with a parade through town. This spring, students in each grade have been working on specific projects surrounding Canada. The Grade 6 class tackled Canadian immigration; the Grade 5s spoke about the history of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in the country; while the senior kindergarten and Grade 1 class created a mini model of the village of Pakenham on display in the school’s lobby. “I’d like to thank the students of Pakenham for what an amazing job they’ve done to learn all about Cana-
da,” noted Balfour. “Can we have a big round of applause for all of them?” After guests had a chance to look at each project, the celebration reconvened in the school’s gymnasium for more presentations. First up was school council chair Jennifer Downey, who gifted 150 new books to the school for the occasion. “We (school council) decided 150 books in celebration of Canada’s birthday would be an appropriate number of books to buy,” she said. “So we bought two kinds of books, both in English and French, and they’re all by Canadian authors.” “What a great addition to our library and we thank the school council,” added Balfour. Ashley Foley, Pakenham Public School’s French and music teacher, provided some insight into a special quilting project students have been working on, with help from community volunteers — Jane Barr, Leslie Jeffries, Patricia Murphy, and Lois Timmins. “Using (quilter) Cheryl Arkison’s
Oh Canada block pattern, students in Grades 4 to 6, as well as two Grade 3 students, worked diligently to create our Canada 150 wall hanging,” she commented. “ … We absolutely could not have
done it without the help of these volunteers who took their time to share their love of quilting and expertise with our students,” Foley continued. Ninety-nine per cent of the eyecatching quilt, unveiled by the volun-
teers, was created by students. They were responsible for sorting fabrics into colour piles, sewing them together, cutting out maple leaf templates, See CANADA page A/CP16

Holy Name of Mary Catholic School in Almonte has been recognized by Mississippi Mills for doing its part to help clean up the municipality. “We are here to thank you for all the hard work you did for pitch-in this year,” community economic and cultural coordinator Tiffany MacLaren told students during an assembly on June 1. During this year’s Pitch-In week, held mid-April, a few hundred students cleaned up their playground as well as the surrounding area, including Don Maynard Park and Almonte General Hospital. Joining MacLaren on Thursday are beautification committee chair Fern Martin, recreation and culture administrative assistant Bonnie Hawkins, and Miss Mills, the mascot of Mississippi Mills. Martin explained the beautification committee enhances the municipality with public art, banners, and flower and tree plantings, encourages community pride, and participates in maintenance and cleanup

Our Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) includes patients, caregivers and families who reflect on their own experience and provide ideas and input on all aspects of care. The goal is to help improve the care provided at CPDMH. Our PFAC was created a year ago and they are a key part of our health care team.
Applications are always being accepted for additional PFAC members.
In fact, the PFAC has been involved in several projects from reviewing our new website to participating in emergency drills. Members have made presentations at hospital meetings and participated in regional forums. And the committee helped CPDMH achieve its goal of Exemplary Standing from Accreditation Canada by participating in the survey process.
You do not need any special qualifications to be an advisor. What’s most important is your experience as a patient, caregiver or family member within the past two years. We will provide you with any other training you need.
Currently, the PFAC is working on our Family Presence policy, which will replace the traditional visiting hours. Another exciting project is the Emergency Department redevelopment. Two PFAC members have already provided valuable input to the planning committee, from a patient and family perspective. Thank you to our current PFAC members: Peter Litster (Chair), Dawn Fortin, Ann Rawson, KC Schnaufer and Dave Evans. It is a pleasure to work with these committed community members and to hear their views on so many aspects of patient care. They are true contributors to patient and family–centred care at CPDMH.
Learn more about CPDMH at www.cpdmh.ca
To learn more, please call Luci Jacobsen at 613-253-3829 or visit www.cpdmh.ca/ patientfamilyadvisors to submit an online application.

Foley said she was pleased to see how involved students were in the project. “I am so impressed with the way these students took on this project and honestly enjoyed every moment of it,” she said. “These kids were willing to give up their recesses .” The wall hanging will find a spot above the bulletin board in the lobby.

The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum is currently offering its A Valley Town at Confederation exhibit to mark Canada 150. On June 15, they will also launch a special presentation, The Well Dressed Lady of 1867 with costumer Loree Tannett. Tannett will guide guests through the dressing of a live mannequin in 1867 style.
Heritage museum launches exhibit to celebrate Canada 150 The A Valley Town at Confederation exhibit is now open at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum. This exhibit celebrates Canada 150 by taking visitors back in time to 1867 — the year of Confederation. In 1867, Carleton Place was a small village of 700 people. Most buildings were located on the north side of town, concentrated on Bell Street alongside the Mississippi River. Industries included a grist mill, carding mill, a tannery and David Findlay’s new foundry. Carleton Place residents had train service to
Brockville and Almonte as well as a weekly newspaper. Please visit us to learn more about life in Carleton Place 150 years ago. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free; however we do rely on the generosity of our visitors, so do look for the donation jar. The museum is also proud to present The Well Dressed Lady of 1867 on June 15 at 7 p.m. Costumer Loree Tannett will guide us through the dressing of a live mannequin,
1867 style. You won’t believe the layers ladies had to wear at this time in history. Loree’s presentation will include period-appropriate refreshments and perhaps a lesson in 1867 etiquette. Tickets are $10 and available at the museum. The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum is located at 267 Edmund St. in Carleton Place. For more information, call us at 613253-7013, visit cpbheritagemuseum.com or find us on Facebook. Submitted by the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum
