CARLETON PLACE MARKS PRIDE WEEK LOVE FOR ALL TO BE CELEBRATED JULY 14 TO 20 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place Pride Week runs July 14 to 20 this year. To commemorate the occasion, the rainbow flag, commonly known as the LGBT pride flag, will fly outside the town hall - a request of LGBT CP. Many people see the flag as a symbol of freedom, diversity, equality, hope and strength.

Council approved the flag's erection during the committee of the whole meeting on June 11, carrying a motion moved by Mayor Doug Black and seconded by Coun. Jeff Atkinson. Moreover, LGBT CP is permitted to apply temporary rainbow artwork to the cement sidewalk outside Town Hall Square, which is its full responsibility, working in coordination with the recreation and culture department.

Representing LGBT CP, Paolo

Villa and Angie Mills attended the COW meeting on May 14, updating council on the group's plans to commemorate Pride Week. Villa was in council chambers on Tuesday night.

"Great," he said after the vote.

On the final day of Pride Week, July 20, a festival takes place at Carleton Junction, the local section of the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail, encompassing the area between Coleman and Moore streets. It runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There will be a lip sync competition, vendor market, DJ spinning, drag shows and more. The function is family friendly.

Carleton Place raised the flag for the first time in 2018, flying it outside the municipal building from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1.

According to chief administrative officer Diane Smithson, a flagpole at Town Hall Square is one of this year's capital projects.

If it is not in place by July 14, the flag will be flown on one of two poles at the town hall.

CARLETON PLACE HOSPITAL ER REDEVELOPMENT MOVES TO NEXT STAGE The next stage of planning for the new emergency department at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) is underway. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has approved CPDMH's Stage 2 submission and the hospital can now proceed to Stage 3 which includes preliminary design.

"Approval of our Stage 2 Functional Program is a major step and we are grateful to the Ministry and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network for their support," said Mary Wilson Trider, president and chief executive officer.

The functional program outlines the operations, staffing, major equipment, funding and space requirements for the new space. Phase 3 is the preliminary design phase. Details about all

major components, timelines and costs will be prepared and submitted for approval.

"This phase also includes community consultation to provide an opportunity for input regarding the new facility," added Wilson Trider. "In particular, we want to ensure our neighbours are involved in the planning."

"Thank you to the capital projects committee of the board and everyone who has been involved in this planning, including hospital staff, physicians and volunteers, as well as members of our patient and family advisory committee," continued board chair Rob Clayton. "Together, we are building for the future and ensuring the best care close to home for patients and families in Carleton Place, Beckwith and surrounding communities."

The new emergency department will be linked to the hospital and will address current space challenges and enhance infection control standards. It includes 11 treatment spaces, which is an increase of five (83 per cent) over the current department. The new emergency department is being designed to improve patient flow for both walk-in patients, as well as patients arriving by ambulance.

There will be a private family room inside the department and more washrooms.

The CPDMH Foundation is planning a $3 million fundraising campaign for the building and equipment costs.

RICKEY MINNILLE SWORN IN AS COUNTY COUNCILLOR ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Rickey Minnille is officially a Lanark County councillor.

The Mississippi Mills deputy mayor took the oath of office at the start of the June 12 county council session in Perth. He assumes the role after Coun. Denzil Ferguson filled in following the death of former Deputy Mayor John Levi in January.

Minnille was appointed as the new deputy mayor for Mississippi Mills via a council appointment process on March 28.

"I hope to be a proactive member of this council," he noted. "Maybe one of these days I'll be able to chair a committee as good as Coun. (John) Fenik (Perth Mayor). I like his style. I'm

proud to be here with all of these outstanding members of this community."

Afterwards, he was congratulated by his fellow council members and Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve).

"We all had to do an oath when we came here to join this club ... it's a great day," he stated. "He's certainly going to be a great addition."

Minnille serves as county council representative for the municipality along with Mayor Christa Lowry. He is no stranger to the council table, having served three terms on Mississippi Mills council; elected in 2003, 2006 and 2010.

Ashley Kulp/Torstar The Hub celebrated its grand re-opening following extensive renovations at 118 Mill Street on June 8. The 20-foot high ceilings and architecture of the former O'Brien Theatre have been restored and a second floor mezzanine has also been added. Pictured, visitors file in to check out the space.

THE HUB IS BACK IN DOWNTOWN ALMONTE THRIFT STORE REOPENS AFTER $400,000 IN RENOVATIONS ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The curtains parted and the renovations at the Hub took centre stage June 8 during its grand opening.

The culmination of 18 months of hard work by Almonte Community Co-ordinators, who operate the Hub, was shown off to guests who were invited to enjoy slices of cake and tours of the non-profit thrift store on 118 Mill Street. Home to the former O'Brien Theatre, the unveiling was a dramatic one, which showcased $400,000 in renovations to the space, including revealing several architectural features from the original theatre.

The burgundy walls and turquoise-trimmed cornices have been restored, as have the 20-feet high ceilings and projection booth.

Greeting visitors behind the cash area is a huge black and white mural of the theatre. Sitting atop is a bell donated from a former Ramsay schoolhouse.

"People walk in the door, stand there and say 'wow!'" said ACC president and longtime volunteer Eloise Caverson. "If they're old enough, they say it looks just like the O'Brien Theatre that's remembered so well."

Planning and architectural work, with drawings by local architect Peter Mansfield, began 18 months ago, but Caverson said construction and a fundraising campaign ramped up in October. ACC had set aside $100,000 for a new roof, but raised more than $200,000 with the com-

munity's help. A second floor mezzanine has been added, with staircases on either side of the showroom, as well as an accessible public washroom, improved retail display and sorting areas and dedicated donation drop-off space.

Most of the work, however, was done behind the scenes.

"We have new plumbing, new electricity, new insulation and a new roof," Caverson stated. "We have some incredible community support from artists and craftsmen in the community and people with chequebooks who have helped a lot."

As the renovations were ongoing, the Hub still managed to contribute $45,000 in the last year to support community causes, including Lanark County Interval House and Community Support, The Hunger Stop Lanark County Food Bank, Mississippi Mills Youth Centre and Hub Hospice Palliative Care.

After setting up shop on Industrial Drive for a few years, the Hub is back in See – page 5

the former downtown location it served the community in for 19 years. ACC was forced to leave the building in the summer of 2017 due to the deteriorating condition of the building.

Caverson said they're now back where they belong.

"Our volunteers wanted to come back here and a whole lot of our customers are located within walking

distance," she stated.

"We'll be here for a long time," Caverson added.

The Hub has been a fixture in the community for 45 years. While it first opened at 66 Mill Street in May 1974, a fire in 1997 forced them to move. They purchased 118 Mill Street, also a former RBC location, from RBC for $1. It was constructed in 1919 by the Ottawa Valley Amusement Company and later converted to an RBC. With all of these im-

CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL CHANGES MIND ON ARENA ADDITION TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com There has been a change in plans.

Carleton Place is now moving ahead with a partial two-storey addition to the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) and undertaking lobby improvements. Council made the call at its regular meeting on June 11.

The move, however, amends its earlier decision at the May 28 committee of the whole gathering to proceed with a complete twostorey addition and lobby improvements.

Coun. Toby Randell was not present in council chambers and did not participate in the vote, declaring a pecuniary interest.

He owns Blade Sports at the arena.

Before the vote, chief administrative officer Diane Smithson explained staff

had a formal discussion with architect Larry Gaines to get an understanding of the different options, trying to determine if there were other choices to consider.

In 2017, the town paid architect Gaines just under $47,000 to complete the design and construction documents for the initial single-storey addition.

"The architect's recommendation is to not proceed with a full second floor on the addition," Smithson stated.

By going with a partial second storey, the town is not required to put in a new elevator or washrooms, using existing amenities.

"It is being recommended staff offices occupy the (partial second floor) space," Smithson said.

The other option coming forward from staff's discussion with Gaines was

Tara Gesner/Torstar Carleton Place is now moving ahead with a partial two-storey addition to the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) and undertaking lobby improvements. Council made the call at its regular meeting on June 11. an addition to the rear of the building, which would require moving the tennis courts.

In terms of pricing, "if we are doing the partial second storey, approximately 1,500 square feet, we are talking $350,000," Smithson said.

Owing to the requirement for footings, foundation, etc., an addition at the back would be higher, about $450,000.

Smithson stressed, "These are very rough esti-

mates ... ballpark figures based on an amount per square foot."

Recreation and culture manager Joanne Henderson was pleased with council's decision.

"Going with a partial second floor for office space allows us to do the upgrades council is looking for in the lobby," she said, and "it gives us some time to figure out if we want some additional seating, if we want to move the tennis courts."

Coun. Theresa Fritz heard what staff was saying; however, she was disappointed because "I think we had an opportunity to do something innovative with a full second storey ... we are letting an opportunity slide."

Nevertheless, "I am not prepared to do anything to delay this project any further," she continued. "We have waited far too long for this, and the community has waited far too long."

With an opportunity to draw events to the arena because of the new dressing rooms planned, along with a new hotel proposed in town, "I am hoping we can be innovative with the work we are going to do in the lobby," Fritz said. "I do not just want it to be paint."

Recapped by Mayor Doug Black, the budget for the arena project is $2.5 million. In 2019, council approved an additional $1

million, wanting to see more than four new change rooms.

"If we went ahead with the partial two-storey addition, we can always add the back part at a later date," Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond said.

"Absolutely," Smithson said, and "it gives us time to flush out what we want: commercial space, more seating, etc."

A couple of years ago, the previous council discussed the town's three tennis courts, which are located behind the arena.

"They do need some TLC," Redmond said, and "with only three, it precludes us from hosting tournaments ... you need four courts."

"Upgrading the tennis courts, I do believe it is something to consider," he added. "At that time, we can take a look at putting a back addition on."

This newspaper, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 80 community publications across Ontario.

WE HAVE CLOSE CONNECTION TO RAPTORS WIN As basketball fans across the country watched the Toronto Raptors make history with the first NBA championship win by a Canadian team June 13, it was doubly sweet for our neck of the woods.

The sport experienced a boost in popularity and nowhere was it felt more than in Almonte, which boasts the birthplace of the inventor of basketball, James Naismith. Local, national and international media descended upon the town, who experienced more than their 15 minutes of fame, capitalizing on the chance to highlight one of their most famous sons.

The community celebrated in its own way with a series of four viewing parties where residents were invited to watch the finals on the big screen. It showed Canadians and the world just how much community and basketball pride Almonte has. What a great sight to see the Almonte Old Town Hall parking lot filled with fans armed with lawn chairs and youth shooting some hoops while the Naismith Basketball Association engaged with visitors about Naismith.

Kudos to the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, the volunteers and businesses involved in the organization of those parties.

Naismith Basketball Association's Kimberly O'Connell brought the idea for the viewing parties to the municipality and indicated the association is "just so ecstatic to see everyone as happy about basketball and proud of our hometown."

We assume everyone knows Canadian Naismith invented basketball in 1891, as anyone from around this area has either heard the story, visited the Dr. James Naismith Museum at the Mill of Kintail, or has participated in the Naismith association's 3-on-3 festival. But not everyone does. The Raptors playoff journey offered a great opportunity to tell that amazing story and shows just how proud Almonte is of the sport's inventor and the impact his contributions have had around the world.

If you haven't been to the Naismith museum, it's worth a trip. Not only will you get to learn interesting facts about the man, including how a game he played in his childhood, "Duck on a Rock," ended up as inspiration for inventing basketball, but the museum shares space with the Robert Tait McKenzie collection, another famous Almonte native, and the two were boyhood friends. Not to mention there's a chance to explore the beauty of the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area.

This spotlight on the sport is introducing new generations to the story of its history, which brings a new appreciation for Naismith, his humble beginnings and a love of the game. And that's just what Naismith would have wanted.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICE RESTORED FOR MISSISSIPPI MILLS BUT AT A COST ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The interlibrary loan service is coming back to the Mississippi Mills, but the public library's budget is going to take a hit.

Mississippi Mills Public Library chief executive officer Christine Row and library board chair Cathy Peacock appeared before Mississippi Mills council at its June 4 meeting. Row said after the provincial government announced a 50 per cent cut in the Southern Ontario Library Ser-

vices (SOLS) budget back in April, the organization was forced to cease the interlibrary loan service.

"The cost to run the delivery was just always increasing and with such a significant cut ... they had to make a difficult decision," she said.

For nearly 50 years, SOLS had provided the service to southern Ontario libraries, including Mississippi Mills, who had access to each other's catalogues as well as Archives Canada and universities, which could be shared back and

"It was very efficient and a really innovative way to share resources," Row stated.

because we borrow as much as we ship."

It provided a huge value to library users and allowed MMPL to maximize its resources. "If we had to buy the items that we're missing in our collection, it would cost $48,000 every year in our budget," Row pointed out.

Not only did SOLS provide the interlibrary loan service, but also advice on the Public Libraries Act, consortia purchase opportunities, as well as staff training, particularly impactful for small and medium-sized libraries. That training was also a casualty of the cuts.

Since ceasing the service, SOLS has been in talks with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport on resuming it. A June 5 press release from the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries announced its restoration, but in a different form, noting the funding reductions to SOLS and its northern counterpart, Ontario Library Service-North (OLSNorth) haven't changed.

"The voice in support of libraries was heard across the province," stated FOPL executive director Stephen Abram in a press release. " ... We anticipate that most public libraries will need to carefully manage interlibrary loan requests, which will have an impact on the number that can be fulfilled, both for individual patrons and the library as a whole ..."

The biggest change is the courier service will no longer be available and instead, items will be shipped through Canada Post. This is the model used by OLSNorth. Even with a $347,000 government rebate, Row said not all costs will be covered.

THE ISSUE: CUTS TO THE PROVINCIAL INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICE LOCAL IMPACT: THE SERVICE IS RESUMING, BUT MISSISSIPPI MILLS PUBLIC LIBRARY WILL FACE AN INCREASE OF NEARLY $10,000 TO ITS OPERATING BUDGET DUE TO STAFF TIME, COURIER DELIVERY AND POSTAGE FEES "In southern Ontario, we sent about 700,000 packages last year. We'd send many items in one parcel," she stated. "Canada Post is looking for us to do one item per parcel, so I could say that probably about a million items are going to be circulating through southern Ontario."

Those costs will be absorbed through the library's operating budget.

Row estimates the additional figure to be nearly $10,000 when staff time ($2,261), courier services to and from the post office ($2,500), and postage fees ($3,876) are considered.

"These numbers look quite small ... but it means something to us," she stressed. "We're halfway through (the year) so we'd need an extra $5,000 to get us through this year that was not included in our operating budget."

And there's no guaran-

tee libraries will have access to the same breadth of materials they did before.

The service will now require lending libraries to pay to ship packages and larger systems, such as Toronto, may opt out.

"It has the potential to sabotage this amazing, innovative resource sharing system," Row said.

With these cuts and an uncertain future, Row asked council to draft a resolution to support the library as it fights against provincial cuts.

"The provincial government, in a lot of their statements, are boasting about the fact that they have not touched library base funding and they will not this round," she said. "I do believe that's true because they haven't touched our base funding since 1994. As costs have continued to escalate, the municipalities have had to fill in the funding gap."

With Canada Post lock boxes in Almonte for residential delivery, Coun. Jan Maydan asked if the library was in talks with Canada Post about the possibility of placing one at the library.

"That's something I can definitely bring up," Row said.

Coun. Denzil Ferguson wondered if Mississippi Mills should pick this battle or wait until a larger one comes along.

"I believe it's an ongoing battle," Peacock answered.

"I don't believe we can afford not to respond this time. And we're probably going to have to respond again. That's just the nature of library funding."

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

While the provincial government has restored the interlibrary loan service, the Canadian Gazette wanted to make library users aware of the additional challenges Mississippi Mills will face in offering the service to residents.

According to Tessier, the vision and values of WRC "are the building blocks for all that we do here, and it is done with purpose and passion."

Waterside Retirement Community (WRC) in Carleton Place is celebrating 10 years of living, loving and laughing.

Operated by V!VA Retirement Communities (VRC), WRC opened its doors on McNeely Avenue, nestled alongside the Mississippi River, in December 2008. The official grand opening took place on May 13, 2009.

On June 5, under the big top tent in the Victory Garden, community director Denise Tessier received community and team members, family, friends and a handful of special guests, including local councillors Toby Randell and Linda Seccaspina, VRC president Eli Marder

and Carleton Place Senior of the Year Joan Bray.

"Waterside Retirement Community was conceived in the minds of our founders 13 years ago," Marder told the crowd. "They had a vision, creating a new type of retirement community ... they wanted to focus on people."

In addition to its Carleton Place location, VRC operates seven other communities, and four more are planned in the coming years.

"None of this would even be possible without the community we are celebrating today," Marder stressed.

Tessier has been community director for eight and a half years.

Marder noted: "Denise has been a steady hand, guiding us through many

During the festivities, four original members of WRC were acknowledged: Joyce Jones, Gibb Drummond, Melva Glen and Joe Dittmar.

"The only way I am going to leave here is when they carry me out in a box," Jones told the Canadian Gazette. "Everything here

is wonderful."

"From the facilities to the staff, it is a wonderful place to live," she continued. "We are just so lucky to have it."

Jones moved into WRC in January 2009.

Glen came in December 2008, "before it was officially open."

"There were eight of us," she said.

The years have been enjoyable for Glen, and she adores walking on the nearby trail.

Dittmar arrived at WRC in October 2009.

"I love the facilities, and I love the scenery ... coun-

Drummond was unable to attend the celebrations.

He was at work.

Tessier referred to WRC members as diamonds, with team members being her gems.

"I am blessed to have many diamonds - our incredible group of elders," she said.

"None of this would be possible without you ... thank you for letting me, for letting all of us be a part of your extended family."

Turning to her team members, "you are the real deal, delivering outstanding service each day ... the boots on the ground," Tessier stated.

"You are faithful and committed ... this is not me doing this, it is us."

will be part of our volunteer program and offered through our seniors' home support program." " ... We can take it anywhere in Mississippi Mills and engage with people, but until we raise that money, we won't be that active," Mills added, noting he's particularly excited about being able to utilize the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail. "It's nature.

You're instantly taken out of the hustle and bustle of town and into the countryside."

Mills said volunteers operating the bikes will be subject to the same training, police and vulnerable sector checks done for the corporation's volunteer drivers.

Mills has taken the TrioBike around to a few locations, including the Orchard View seniors' residence, which is also helping to fundraise for the bike through a recent Father's Day garage sale. In celebration of their ninth anniversary, Mill Street Books will be donating a loonie from every transaction from

June 20-27, to the bike fund as well.

"I've received a call from Almonte Country Haven who are interested in a demonstration and taking seniors for rides as well," Mills said, adding that he's planning to ride it in the Pakenham Canada Day parade.

He's pleased to see the community support for the initiative and believes this will greatly benefit the 600 seniors Mills Community Support currently serves.

"It's fun. The smiles on their faces is just brilliant," Mills commented. "Anyone we've taken for a ride so far are ecstatic. They love the idea."

Those interested in donating funds can do so by dropping them off at Mills Community Support Corporation (67 Industrial Drive).

Any cheques should be made out to Mills Community Support and indicate 'Trio Taxi' on the memo line.

Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $25 or more.

Mills Community Support wants to give seniors the gift of being active, but needs the community's help.

The non-profit corporation has partnered with Almonte Bicycle Works, Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and Orchard View by the Mississippi to acquire a TrioBike Taxi. This electric-assist trike with sun shade will be pedalled

by Mills Community Support volunteers and can safely carry two seniors at a time, allowing them to explore the great outdoors.

"This is a way to get seniors out to enjoy some good conversation, some sunshine and the wind blowing through their hair," explained Jeff Mills of Mills Community Support.

Mills, Bill Barrie of Almonte Bicycle Works and Liz Rootham are leading the project.

"Liz and I have written grants in the past that were unsuccessful but we know these programs are happening around the world," Mills noted. "People love them and they're great to get seniors out."

The TrioBike movement is popular in Europe and has gained ground in Canada, including Ottawa and Brockville, Mills said.

Barrie went ahead and purchased the $12,000 bike and picked it up in Montreal a few weeks ago. Mills said a fundraising campaign was launched and Barrie will transfer ownership to Mills Community Support once they have raised the remaining $4,400. There will be no cost to seniors.

"Then it will be an asset that the Mills owns that will be insured by the corporation," he stated. "This

Mary Wilson Trider, president and chief executive officer of Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor, sent the golfers off with a heartfelt message.

Trider told participants: "The hospital and Fairview Manor count on funds provided by the community, through events like the golf day, to purchase replacement or new patient/resident care equipment. The provincial government funds the operating costs such as wages and medical supplies but does not provide dollars for our priority equipment needs."

Foundation managing director Al Roberts introduced the first outstanding foundation volunteer award. Named in honour of longtime golf committee volunteer the late Bert McIntyre, the memorial award will be presented each year by the foundation to an outstanding volunteer who has made a major contribution to helping to raise funds.

The inaugural award was given to his wife Norma, his daughter Tracy, son Ken and daughter-inlaw Kimberley. McIntyre had volunteered countless hours to the annual Almonte General Hospital Golf Classic over the 17 years that he was involved.

His enthusiastic support helped raise thousands of dollars to enhance patient and resident care. It was a special moment to honour him.

As well as golfing, par-

ticipants enjoyed hole prizes, raffle tickets and the opportunity to bid on liveand silent-auction items, which were donated by generous local businesses and individuals. Sponsorship accounted for a large portion of the funds raised.

Patrice's Independent Grocer was this year's major sponsor, followed by Thomas Cavanagh Construction, which sponsored the lunch.

"So many people deserve a big thank you, including all our golfers, sponsors, auction-item and prize donors, dinner guests, volunteers and golf committee members," said Roberts. Funds raised will benefit the Put Yourself in the Picture campaign to bring CT scans to the hospital."

Retirees Among Those To Benefit From New Hearing Aid Try newly released hearing aids ideal for the modern lifestyle: full surround sound, plenty of power, & no more feedback! ‡

insideottawavalley.com

Just weeks ago, a brand new hearing aid line was released to the public and it’s transforming the hearing experience for its wearers.

Most hearing aids deal with background noise using directional microphones that focus only right in front of you--like blinders for your ears. No more! These new hearing aids process signals so exceptionally fast, they handle sound from all directions—greatly improving your ability to hear and comprehend speech, even in noisy environments.

Most hearing aids have to reduce gain (amplification strength) to avoid causing

feedback. Not these! These new hearing aids eliminate obnoxious screeching and whistling before it even starts—while maintaining necessary gain.

Connecting to your modern lifestyle is easy! Make hands-free calls from your smartphone, or stream audio from your phone, stereo, TV, or other Bluetooth® enabled devices.

These can even be purchased with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery option.

Yes, the future of hearing is here and it sounds better than ever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

‘Put Yourself in the Picture’ campaign well underway More than $34,000 has already been donated as part of this year’s spring appeal which means $68,000 towards the ‘Put Yourself in the Picture’ campaign for new diagnostic imaging equipment at the Almonte General Hospital.

That’s because a very generous donor has pledged to match every donation that comes in through the Spring Fundraising Drive up to $25,000! Imagine, for every $25 received, it becomes $50. Fifty dollars becomes $100, and so on. But that’s not all. The donor has agreed to double that and match up to $50,000!

So now that we’ve raised $25,000, that is being doubled, and as we keep going, the donor will match all donations up to a total of $50,000.

Please join and make special donation – either a one-time or recurring monthly donation (to be honest, the best way to help is by giving an amount like $15, 20 or 30 per month), to help the AGH FVM Foundation raise the funds needed to purchase life-saving diagnostic imaging equipment and continue to provide excellent healthcare to you and your loved ones.

“Almonte General Hospital needs a CT Scan,” says long-time Hospital Volunteer Mary Dillabaugh Mary Dillabaugh was diagnosed with Colon Cancer in 2012. As part of Mary’s rehabilitation she was referred to the Almonte General Hospital Day Hospital Program. Mary thrived in the Program participating in physiotherapy, recreational therapy and receiving nursing care. The Day Hospital Program was so successful at making Mary feel strengthened and self-confident that she decided to remain as a volunteer as part of her recovery after being discharged from the Program. Mary began volunteering two days a week in the Day Hospital. Eventually she was volunteering on the Rosamond Unit helping with BINGO and other special events. Always wanting to do more, she took on a shift volunteering in the Gift Shop. In 2014, Mary joined the Volunteer Services Committee and is currently the Chair of the Committee.

“I just want to give back to the Hospital that has given so much to me! My children were born here. All my grandchildren were born here. And I have so much to be thankful for!”

Easter Weekend 2019, the dedicated volunteer took on a different role when she woke up with cramps and severe pain. Not wanting to cancel her plans for visiting family on Easter, she delayed going to the Hospital but by Saturday

afternoon increasing pain forced Mary to go to the Emergency Department.

After undergoing a full exam and having X-rays, it was still unknown what was causing her pain. Mary needed to have a CT Scan to better inform the diagnosis so was sent by ambulance to the Queensway Carleton Hospital where she underwent a CT Scan. The Scan revealed that she had an inflamed gallbladder so was immediately admitted to the Ottawa hospital late Saturday night. Mary spent three days in Ottawa before she was allowed to return home.

A CT Scan at Almonte General Hospital would have enabled Mary to receive the CT Scan immediately and a diagnosis would have been made sooner. Mary and her family live in Almonte and it was very inconvenient, not to mention stressful, for her family to travel back and forth from Almonte to Ottawa. The importance of quality healthcare close to home is never so important than when you or someone you know needs it.

Mary will continue to go to the Queensway Carleton Hospital every six months for a CT Scan for follow up cancer screening – a trip she would rather be making to Almonte. You can’t keep a good volunteer down. Mary will be back hard at work again as soon as she feels up to it, volunteering at Almonte General Hospital, meeting everyone with a smile and making a difference to those she comes in contact with.

I want to make sure our community hospital and manor are well-equipped including a much-needed CT Scanner. I understand my gift will be matched dollar for dollar to double my impact!

TO SELL

When we first met Barbara, she told us that our house needed painting before we listed even though I thought it was just fine. I said that if the house did not sell she would be coming back to repaint my colours! I really did not want to admit she was right but I loved the colours so much that my poor husband will be painting our new home the same colours! We are so glad Barbara became our Agent. She had a wealth of knowledge about the area, houses in general and, in particular, the Market. Our home was staged so that we didn’t recognize it but after living with it for a couple of days it felt great. People would come in and ask who our decorator was and couldn’t believe it when we said “our Agent”! Barbara accomplished what some said would never happen (including 3 previous Agents)… she SOLD our house! Barbara and her staff never let us become discouraged that the sale was taking a long time. There were people from Belleville and Ottawa coming to see our home… do you realize how good that felt?! Believe me when I say “if you want your house sold or want to purchase a new home, call Barbara Couch!

There is no one who will work harder to help you get what you want”. — Guy and Evette

JUST ASKING: JORDAN MCINTOSH TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com JUST ASKING presents a local personality with 20 questions, giving Canadian Gazette readers in Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills an opportunity to learn something different about him or her.

This newspaper reached out to Carleton Place's own music star Jordan McIntosh for this edition of JUST ASKING. His answers are below.

When was the last time you were late for something?

McIntosh: I honestly cannot remember. I hate being late. I find it very disrespectful. I make it a habit not to be late.

Where do you go to think?

McIntosh: My room. If it is a nice day I go for a walk somewhere quiet and away from everyone.

If you could sing a duet with a current coach of The Voice, who would it be: Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson or John Legend?

McIntosh: Kelly Clarkson. And it will happen one day.

If you could go any where in the world, where would you go and why?

McIntosh: Africa. To get as close as I can to the beautiful creatures roaming the land there, without having to see them locked in a cage.

Describe the perfect kiss in three words.

McIntosh: Passion.

Rhythm. Connection.

What challenges you?

McIntosh: Not letting my obsession with perfection drive me crazy.

What scares you?

McIntosh: Failure. Letting down the people who mean the most to me.

What is your last thought before going to bed?

McIntosh: I hope I get as much sleep as I want.

Your greatest achievement?

McIntosh: I do not think it has happened yet, but if I had to choose it would be the first time one of my songs was played on the radio. It is a big moment for most artists.

What motivates you?

McIntosh: My family.

And proving to myself I am destined for greatness and can make my dreams a reality.

Last time you laughed very hard out loud?

McIntosh: I think it was watching old home videos with my family. We found some really embarrassing footage. It had us all laughing so hard we were crying.

Are you a dog or cat person?

McIntosh: Dog.

McIntosh: In my room, lying in bed with Netflix and some sort of vegan sugary goodness.

Favourite singer/

band?

McIntosh: It changes all of the time, but at the moment: Ariana Grande. She is killing it.

Last person you went to dinner with?

McIntosh: I believe it was in Las Vegas, after my show, with my amazing management team.

What is the last thing you liked on social media?

McIntosh: I have been working on a project with 98 Degrees member Jeff Timmons, and I think a photo he posted on Instagram was the last thing I liked.

What did you eat for breakfast?

McIntosh: A mixed berry, fruit, kale, ginger, turmeric, honey and almond milk smoothie, and an apple dipped in natural peanut butter.

What was the last film you watched?

McIntosh: The live-action Dumbo movie. Everybody, go see it. It is so good.

How do you like your steak cooked?

McIntosh: I am not a red meat person. Sorry.

What was your favourite cartoon show growing up?

McIntosh: Arthur.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE CORPORATION The Annual General Meeting of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Corporation will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 26, 2019 in the Boardroom at 211 Lake Avenue East, Carleton Place, Ontario.

Major University seeks participants for national hearing study.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

You can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study

I got up early on June 6 to watch television coverage of the various events held to mark the special anniversary. D-Day veterans now average 95 years of age.

So it was undoubtedly the last time any of the soldiers who actually participated in 'Operation Overlord' (the code name for the Normandy landings) will take part in such observances.

June 6, 1944 marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler's dream of world domination. It was also the biggest seaborne invasion in history. So, not an insignificant event!

In my column published in this newspaper on the actual anniversary date, I lamented the fact that polls show a majority of Canadians either don't know what D-Day was or can provide scant details of the Second World War battle. I think that's sad considering that 14,000 Canadian soldiers stormed ashore on that long ago morning and 359 died in the first day of fighting. During the two and a half months of the Normandy Campaign (June 6-Aug. 21) more than 5,000 Canadians were killed in action.

When my wife and I visited Normandy in 1995 there wasn't a lot to see at Juno Beach in Courseullessur-Mer, France. There were some plaques, a Second World War-era tank and a few flags and banners flying.

Since our visit things have improved immensely with the advent of the Juno Beach Centre, a museum located immediately adjacent to the site of the Canadian landings on D-Day. Thanks to the work of private individuals who spearheaded the project funding was obtained, including contributions from both the Canadian and French governments, to develop a facility dedicated to Canada's considerable role during the Second World War and particularly on D-Day. The centre was inaugurated on June 6, 2003.

Still, I am very concerned by the general lack of knowledge about Canada's role in the wars of the 20th century. Polls continue to show a steady decline in this regard.

I don't blame teachers. I blame the current curriculum which doesn't place nearly enough emphasis on this important subject. Our teachers are more than capable of imparting this important history to their classes. And some go out of their way to do so.

However unless war history is made compulsory a large segment of our youth will avoid taking what many consider to be "boring history."

I feel that by detailing what happened during the world wars - the terrible

loss of life (both military and civilian) and the nearly incomprehensible tragedy of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis during the Second World War - people in general should realize the folly of war and the horror of man's inhumanity to man.

Historians, including staff at the Juno Beach Centre, are lobbying hard to make sure that artifacts of the Battle of Normandy are retained and preserved. Included are remaining gun emplacements, bunkers and trench systems which were part of Hitler's muchvaunted "Atlantic Wall" the coastal defences the Allies successfully breached on June 6, 1944.

There is also a move afoot to have the Normandy invasion beaches and the remnants of the seaside battle designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. However that process has been delayed which is concerning.

I think it would be a terrible shame if the former invasion beaches and remaining remnants of this pivotal Second World War engagement don't receive the proposed heritage designation. I will be following the UNESCO process with great interest!

PAKENHAM & DISTRICT CIVITAN CLUB GOLF TOURNAMENT JULY 5 The Pakenham & District Civitan Club is very excited to be hosting their third annual charity golf tournament on Friday, July 5 at the Pakenham Highlands Golf Course.

The Pakenham & District Civitan Club is a very active non-profit organization that runs many events each year with a focus on raising funds to help the community.

Based solely on volunteer work and phenomenal community support, they have provided donations to

local hospitals, schools, churches, curling club, other non-profits and, most importantly, to community friends in need.

The proceeds from this year's golf tournament will support Pakenham's three local churches: St. Andrew's United, St. Mark's Anglican and St. Peter Celestine Catholic.

As people are aware, church attendance in general has reportedly been declining across the country over the past few years.

In Pakenham, however,

churches continue to play a huge role in the social fabric of the community.

The Civitan's point of view is: If our churches remain strong - Pakenham will be strong.

The tournament expects to host more than 200 golfers. And, while a meal is included for each golfer, community members are invited to buy a ticket for the dinner only. It's fast becoming a highlight of the summer social scene in Pakenham as many former residents make it home to

connect with old friends at the event. When golfing isn't their game, many locals are happy to join their friends and families for the meal after they've had their day on the links.

The golf tournament will be held at Pakenham Highlands Golf Club with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m., dinner and prizes to follow.

The $100 per player cost includes 18-hole golf fees, cart, roast beef and chicken dinner and prizes. Dinner tickets only are $30 per person but must be purchased in advance. The dinner will be held at the golf club in their tented facility with Leatherworks catering.

Anyone that wants to

provide a sponsorship and/or sign up a team, or order dinner tickets for the golf tournament, can contact John Barr at 613-6245925 or email civitanpakenham@gmail.com for more information.

LAMBS DOWN PARK FESTIVAL ENTERTAINS IN CARLETON PLACE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The 2019 Lambs Down Park Festival took place on June 15 in Carleton Place, presented by the Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA).

Held on the grounds of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, the festival offered demonstrations (sheep shearing and herding), musical entertainment, vendors, community displays, petting zoo, barbecue and more.

The Lambs Down Park Festival was established 13 years ago to bring people together, sharing in the heritage of the community.

The Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers is the largest and oldest distribution centre for lamb's wool in the country, grading and marketing nearly three

million pounds of raw wool yearly.

Carleton Place is commemorating 200 years of community in 2019. A highlight is the Come Home to Carleton Place week of festivities, running July 26 to

Aug. 4) The BIA will play a key role in these celebrations as some of the events are happening downtown.

During Saturday's festival, a mobile museum was on display, promoting Carleton Place's 200th.

"It is the former Art Shack," BIA co-ordinator Kate Murray told the Canadian Gazette.

The museum will be making its appearance at a number of upcoming Carleton Place events.

Emma Jackson photo Ashton farmer Arn Snyder has spent the last 30 years reforesting his 75-acre homestead. This July, he and his wife Jan will move on to their next adventure as a young Ashton family of four takes over the farm.

RETIRING FARMERS LEAVE ENVIRONMENTAL LEGACY FOR NEW OWNERS Like any good legacy, there comes a time when you must take a deep breath and leave it in the hands of the next generation.

That’s precisely what Ashton farmers Arn and Jan Snyder will do this summer after 32 years of painstakingly sculpting their land into an environmental haven for people, animals and trees.

The couple bought their 75-acre homestead in 1987, arriving from the city with no rural living experience.

Since then, they have transformed 55 acres of their old hay fields into lush and thriving forests, restored a wetland habitat where turtles and frogs take shelter, and raised threatened heritage sheep

breeds.

“We told ourselves, this farm has been here since the 1850s, and we’ll be here for another 30 or 40 years,” Arn Snyder said. “Let’s see what we can do in that time to leave it a little bit better.”

About 20 of those retreed acres were forested through the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) with help from the now-defunct 50 Million Tree Program and the City of Ottawa’s Green Acres Reforestation Program, which offer landowners subsidized access to professional tree planting.

This July, a young Ashton family of four will take over the Snyders’ farm, with a promise to maintain the provincially-designated managed forest, allow

horseback riders on the wooded trails, and nurture the aging Shetland sheep flock the Snyders will leave behind when they retire back to the city.

“We’re going to miss it.

There’s no question we’re going to miss it,” said Arn, who is now in his 70s.

How they even came to own the farm is a bit of a head scratcher — even to them.

At the time, their teenaged son was doing a school project on turtles, and the family became aware of Canada’s disappearing wetlands.

“So we thought, oh, we’d better go buy a wetland,” Jan laughed. “Instead, we bought a farm with a wetSee - page 33

Continued from page 32

land on it.”

Being city folk, it took some time to figure out what to do with the land, but planting trees was always part of the plan. Their first spring on the property, Arn and Jan planted a row of white pines, which today tower above the fence line within view of their summer kitchen.

Gazing out those windows, Arn can point in nearly every direction and say the same thing: “There’s a whole forest, that used to be a field.”

Along with RVCA-supported trees, the Snyders have also planted about 4,500 trees themselves, hosting friends-and-family planting days each spring.

All the trees planted on their property were grown at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville.

But trees aren’t their only environmental contribution. They’ve installed solar panels through the pro-

vincial microFIT program and participated in the RVCA’s Rural Clean Water Program.

And about 10 years into their farm project, the Snyders delved once again into unknown territory, taking custody of a small flock of Dorset sheep.

They eventually switched to Shetland sheep, which had been endangered until the mid-1990s. They’ve bred Shetlands ever since, along with several heritage chicken breeds.

Arn said the property’s environmental legacy is all in the name of their grandson Cameron.

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!
