OPP, MEDICALERT PARTNER TO BRING VULNERABLE PEOPLE HOME SAFELY DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metro land.com The Lanark County OPP has launched a new partnership with MedicAlert Foundation Canada to help bring vulnerable people home safely. The MedicAlert "Connect Protect" program was launched in the Lanark County council chambers in Perth on Tuesday, June 18, and, for all of the 1.5 million MedicAlert subscrib-
ers, for all of their calls in 2018, "the majority of that was (for) wandering incidents," said Stefanie Reinoso-Tan, manager, partnerships and external training for MedicAlert Foundation Canada. "We were surprised with that," she said. The program began in 2013, and "we've seen the numbers increasing over the years," Reinoso-Tan said. In fact, for 2018, they received 650 wandering calls across the country.
THE ISSUE: RETURNING DEMENTIA PATIENTS, WHO ARE PRONE TO WANDER, HOME SAFELY LOCAL IMPACT: LANARK COUNTY OPP HAS FORMED A PARTNERSHIP WITH MEDICALERT FOUNDATION CANADA TO SHARE DATABASE INFORMATION "These people are our neighbours and loved ones," she said. Many of these people have dementia like Alzheimer's, but it can also affect people with

brain injuries or younger people on the autism spectrum. The program allows police a 24-hour window to access a client's photo, and other important information, like height and eye colour, but also more specific information like areas where they have been prone to wander before, their likes and dislikes, which can be used to "deescalate" the situation if they are agitated, and caregiver contact information. This system provides "an additional layer of safety to bring them home safely."
ALZHEIMER OUTLOOK As someone who works closely with Alzheimer's patients daily, Louise Noble said she was "so excited," that this partnership was coming to Lanark County. "Someone's folks step out, walk away," said Noble, the executive director of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville. "They know where they are going. Sometimes they get turned around, and they can't find their way back." She recalled a very recent incident that took place in Prescott, where an elderly man with dementia walked away from his day program. He went to his

He entered the building, held up the money and asked if anyone could drive him home for $20. Meanwhile, police were actively searching for him. That is why his family "will be signing up" for this program. With this program, police do not have to go to a
person's residence to pick up vital information, because, "it is all online."
POLICE SEARCH OPP Sgt. Cynthia Savard herself wears a MedicAlert bracelet, though it is because of an allergy. "Our dispatchers will be trained," said Savard. See HELP, page 5

Tara Gesner/Torstar The Carleton Place Public Library has been awarded first place in Canada for its TD Summer Reading Club 2018 program. Children's librarian Heidi Sinnett shows off the plaque she picked up on June 6. There is also a $10,000 cheque attached to the win. brary also has teen and adult programs. Sinnett travelled to St. John's in Newfoundland and Labrador, picking up the grand prize award on June 6. "It was during this year's Atlantic Provinces Library Association Conference," she noted, and "it was incredible." The win comes with a plaque and a $10,000 cheque. "We are still thinking up big dreams for the funds," Sinnett said with a smile. "Potentially, a lot of the money will go to improving our areas for children and teens ... updated furniture and new book shelves, and maybe even something fantastic like a 3D printer." Coun. Andrew Tennant is council's representative on the library board. "It is pretty unbelievable a community the size of ours could win an award over all of the biggest cities' libraries in the whole country," he said. Tennant is not surprised, however. "I have seen the care and dedication Heidi and staff put into planning the program," he noted. "They fully deserve the recognition they have received ... we have some very fortunate kids in our community." Back in Carleton Place, the library hosted a reception on June 10 to celebrate the win.
"The mayor (Mayor Doug Black) attended, along with other members of council," Sinnett said. Others taking part: library staff, patrons and board and community members. "We had a giant cake," Sinnett noted, and "everyone just wanted to support us." The Carleton Place Public Library heard about its win in April. "We were thrilled; however, we do not create programs in order to win prizes," Sinnett said. "The reason we apply ... we get to share the interesting and innovative things we are doing at the library." The grand prize plaque will go up in the library, with the location still to be determined. "We really wanted to achieve this," Sinnett stated. In 2012, the library took second place for its TD Summer Reading Club program. Sinnett has been employed at the library for 17 years. So what is the next big thing for the Carleton Place Public Library? "Improving our programs even more, expanding the literacy tutoring program for children and becoming more inclusive and aware of accessibility," Sinnett said.

lic Library. TD Bank is the sponsor. "They provide all of the materials libraries can use to run the program ... posters, booklets and stickers, along with a nice website," Sinnett explained. There are guidelines to follow," she continued. "They also provide a theme, and we are allowed to work it any way we want, which is fun." All libraries are given the same materials. The general goal of the Carleton Place library's club is to get kids to read all summer long. Typically, it launches the first week in July, ending the first week of September. "Every year we have a big kick off, which is our Library Lemonade Stand," Sinnett said. "Everyone then registers for the club and receives a kit with all kinds of information and some fun stuff." "Afterward, each time the children visit the library, they bring the booklet that keeps track of the books they have read," she added. "We give them a little reward." Sinnett noted: "They can read whatever they want ... as many books as they like." The TD Summer Reading Club is geared for ages zero to 12. However, the li-

STORY BEHIND THE STORY
The partnership between the Lanark County OPP and MedicAlert Foundation Canada was announced at the Lanark County council chambers on Tuesday, June 18. Detachment commander Insp. Derek Needham says that since this is a provincewide initiative, as a tourism hot-spot, this will be a benefit to not only locals, but tourists too.

"They will have access to the data," as they are dealing with a missing persons call. "They can run the number, get the description," and access the person's "wandering" history. The officers assigned to the case can also find out what the patient likes to talk about, what their triggers are, and where they like to hang out. "We had some access (to) data before but it was not up todate," said Savard. This new program will "help relieve some stress" for parents, children, and caregivers. She added that this program was part of a larger partnership with OPP detachments across the province. For the Lanark County OPP, making partnerships work is nothing new. "Lanark County, of course, has a very good track record of collaboration and partnerships to make our communities better," said Insp. Derek
Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP. "This program further demonstrates our commitment to that continuous improvement." The Perth announcement was being held on the same day as similar announcements across the province, in places like Thunder Bay, North Bay, Orillia, and Toronto. With Lanark County attracting travellers from all over the province, the partnership is doubly helpful. "With our populations that come here in the summer from other communities, if they are registered with MedicAlert, (we) will also have access to the information if they are normally residents of Toronto, or (elsewhere)," he added. "That information can help us be more efficient in assisting those people when they are in a time of need." Efficiencies aside, the mission remains "to make sure that those who have
gone missing are reunited with their families in a faster manner." Chief Superintendent Chris Harkins (OPP east region) commended Needham, saying that his leadership "is second to none," on this collaborative file. "We encourage all vulnerable persons and their care takers to register," said Harkins. He stressed that "the information is confidential," and that it is housed under the auspices of MedicAlert. "It is not a police database," he said. "It is not something we have access to" on a regular basis. For more information on the program, click on medicalert.ca/connectprotect, or call 1-866-696-0273.

IT'S SUMMER HIT THE BEACH It's officially summer and time to get outside and enjoy the balmy weather after a long winter and what seemed like a non-existent spring. Many families flocked to Leeds, Grenville and Lanark beaches last week during the first heat wave of the summer and they're a great way to cool off. We can all remember eagerly anticipating the last day of school and kicking off the summer with lazy days spent relaxing in the local creek or pond. While there's always a risk of swimming in untreated waters at area beaches, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is looking out for residents. The health unit performs weekly testing of the water at all beaches during the season until Aug. 31 to ensure it's safe for swimming. The beaches being tested this year include Almonte Beach, Dalhousie Lake, Centennial Beach, Riverside Beach, Lanark Beach, Pakenham Beach, Rideau Ferry Yacht Club, Robertson Lake Beach, Smiths Falls (junior and senior), in Lanark County. In Leeds and Grenville, Bellamy Park, Merrickville, Westport Sand Lake, Portland Campbell Street Beach and Foley Mountain Beach will be monitored. The health unit is all about public education to ensure the health of citizens in the tri-counties. Five samples from each beach will be collected each week and analyzed for E. coli bacteria. If they present more than 200 E. coli (the bathing water standard), a warning will be posted. They have committed to posting updates each Friday morning by 9:30 a.m., which are available at healthunit.org. High E. coli levels are normally seen after heavy rains due to surface water run-off or fecal material from birds and wildlife. E. coli has the potential to increase eye, ear, nose and throat infections, as well as stomach bugs. Any beaches presenting high levels of the bacteria will remain on the unsafe for swimming list until the counts have lowered. But the health unit isn't just checking for E. coli. They'll also be conducting tests for any blue-green algae blooms, spills or other safety issues that could impact the health of swimmers at those beaches. When visiting local beaches this summer, you should always evaluate the weather conditions to ensure it's safe to swim. If the water is cloudy, following high winds or a heavy rainfall, avoid it. If there is a lot of bird feces on the beach, there's also a chance that could infiltrate the water. Use common sense and be safe at the beach this summer. And don't forget the sunscreen!

LETTERS & COMMENTARY TRUSTEES HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF LOCAL SCHOOLS When I learned that all student support partner positions across the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) were being eliminated, I wondered what on earth our trustees were thinking. After reading the comments made by board chair John McAllister, I think I have my answer. His claim that kids in crisis are not served directly by a student support partner is inaccurate. My teenager has autism and ADHD, and suffers from debilitating anxiety. And while his wonderful teacher and other school staff were indeed important and necessary supports for him, the student support partner was his first point of contact during attacks of severe anxiety. Her inter-
vention ensured that an anxiety attack didn't turn into a medical emergency. McAllister's suggestion that this type of front-line mental health situation would be referred to an outside agency or therapist makes no sense and illustrates that our trustees have no understanding of what is happening in our schools. As well, I take issue with his comment that the UCDSB is "open for business." If our trustees would like us to believe that they are not in bed with a government that has no regard for the state of public education, perhaps quoting Doug Ford's favourite slogan to our local newspaper is not the way to go.

PAVING WAY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES WORTHY GOAL I think that Jeff Ma-
guire's recent column has merit, however, in his enthusiasm to see electric vehicles on Canadian roads he missed two important points: - The travel distance between cities Canada vs. Europe is significantly different. Drive between our Ottawa Valley to Winnipeg and observe all the locations through the northern Ontario bush, where a charging station would be viable and economical? (May be great in urban centres? Rural?) - Smart people can put a man on the moon, but have difficulty producing a battery(s) that would power a car to go from Calabogie to Tatlock to Ottawa and return without stopping to 'charge up.' Reality does play an important factor.

The Melville family of Carleton Place lost its home and belongings to a fire on June 26. Fortunately, no one was injured in the blaze at 331 High St., including the family cat, "Kitty." The local Ocean Wave Fire Company was dispatched to the home just after midnight, and once on the scene, fire Chief Pascal Meunier initiated mutual aid from brigades in Beckwith and Mississippi Mills, with further assistance coming from the areas of Lanark, Perth and Smiths Falls. He called the fire "stubborn." The family is still recovering from the incident. "Some days are better than others," Karen Melville told the Canadian Gazette on July 5. A fundraiser for the Melville clan is planned for Sunday, July 21 at the local Mitchell's Your Independent Grocer, running 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The organizers: St. Mary's Catholic Church, Notre Dame Catholic High School Parent Council and Carleton Place Curling Club. Festivities include a barbecue (hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks), bake sale and open music jam. The Melville family attends St. Mary's Catholic Church. Mark Melville is a teacher at Notre Dame Catholic High School, with his wife, Karen, employed there in the main office. The couple is parents to five children, and an international student is staying with them. Moreover, a GoFundMe page has been established, with a goal of $10,000. As of July 5, $7,670 has been raised through donations. For more information about the fundraiser on July 21, contact Barry Desarmia at 613257-3363. Bake sale donations can be dropped off after 9:30 a.m., or email christinanichols@sympatico.ca.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS HOME SAVED FROM FIRE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com A two-storey home was saved by firefighters July 5 in Mississippi Mills as they battled a fire and intense heat conditions. The 911 call was received by Smiths Falls central dispatch at 11:45 a.m. and both Mississippi Mills Fire Department stations in Almonte and Pakenham were deployed. The fire was deemed under control by 1 p.m., with no injuries to family or pets. According to interim fire chief Steve Giberson, the fire originated in the storage garage attached to the house, located on a farm along County Road 29 North, outside of Almonte. "The storage and the outside garage were destroyed, but it looks like all the livable parts of the house were saved and we're grateful for that," he said in an interview with this newspaper that afternoon. "We had to cut a couple of holes in the roof, but they should be able to be repaired and amazingly, there wasn't much smoke damage." Fire investigators were

Ashley Kulp/Torstar Mississippi Mills Fire Department, along with mutual aid from several other departments in the area, battled a structure fire at a farm on County Road 29 July 5. on the scene that afternoon, but Giberson doesn't suspect foul play. "They (fire inspectors) will put together what they think is the best cause," he said. With a heat warning in place and it being the hottest day of the year so far, provided an additional
challenge to firefighters. MMFD called on mutual aid from Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place, Beckwith Fire Department, BBD&E, Smiths Falls Fire Department, Middleville and the Ottawa Fire Service for tanker and manpower support. Giberson said it made all the dif-
ference. "With it being fully involved at that end of the house and the heat conditions, we knew we were going to need the crews," he stated. "It allowed us to rotate crews in 20-minute rotations to keep anyone from getting too hot. It's a proven example of the val-
ue of the mutual aid concept." "I'd like to thank all firefighters in Mississippi Mills and our surrounding county neighbours. They answered the call," Giberson added. The Municipality of Mississippi Mills also provided an excavator, which
proved valuable. "It really helped us. The outdoor buildings had heavy timber and the fire can definitely hide inside these places and last a long time," Giberson explained. "Having the excavator there made it less onerous task to make sure everything was put out."

CARLETON PLACE ADOPTS 2019-2023 CORPORATE STRATEGIC PLAN MOMENT CELEBRATED WITH CAKE MADE BY CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place is balancing growth, which is the name of its 2019-2023 corporate strategic plan. During the council meeting on June 25, the plan was accepted. Council has been working on the document for the previous four months. Big Thinking, a Mississippi Mills-based business led by Jane Torrance, was contracted to help Carleton Place with the plan, which is a decision-making road map for council, defining a common vision for the municipality. "This is a corporate strategic plan, setting the course for council this term," Mayor Doug Black said. "There will be lots of opportunity for public comment and participation as we move through the action plan." The corporate strategic plan was named balancing growth because "we feel collectively as a council that we are in that sweet spot of opportunity right now," Black continued. Carleton Place intends to balance its growth with its great small town way of life.
"We are determined to get this right," the mayor stated. Why did the town undertake a corporate strategic plan? According to Black, "we
wanted to get out early in the term, articulating our council priorities and start clearly working on them." The process commenced in January, with a RFP issued.
"We have put hours and hours into this plan, working co-operatively as a united team of council and senior staff," Black said. Council's mission, vision and values were clear-
the years, but intend to fully plan this term," Black said. "Carleton Place is a great place to live," he continued. "This term, we will bring together the ideas for great recreation, community projects, our great natural and built heritage and our great people." "We will set out an ambitious time line to accomplish our goals," Black added. "We think the work will be manageable, and we will have annual reports on our progress." The corporate strategic plan will be a living document. The mayor stressed, "there is a lot of room in the plan for the public, with steps built in for community consultation and engagement." Coun. Theresa Fritz called the corporate strategic plan "a very ambitious undertaking for a council made up of four new members and three returning members." "It was long overdue ... something we needed to do to pave the road ahead," she stated. "With this document, we have an opportunity to shape what Carleton Place is going to be."

Within the plan, four goals were set for the 20182022 council term, in addition to how they would be attained. "We will work on comprehensive communication," Black noted. "We will consider official corporate communication and communication around the council table, as well as community communication, including civic engagement." Managing growth, the town will review and revise its Official Plan and development permit bylaw. "We will undertake a thorough development charges background study, updating our bylaw and allowing growth to pay for growth in our capital projects," Black explained. "We will conduct a review of our mixed-use and affordable housing policies, knowing this term ... our lower-tier municipality may not have a lot of influence."

JUSTICE JANET O'BRIEN SWORN IN AS LANARK COUNTY'S NEWEST JUDGE DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com The Hon. Justice Janet Lynn O'Brien was sworn in on Thursday, July 4, as the newest member of Lanark County's Ontario Court of Justice. She was sworn in late in the afternoon at the Perth courthouse, in courtroom one, the wooden benches filled with family, friends, lawyers, police officers, and a contingent of judges who filled the jury box. The court heard that she was appointed to the role on May 23, by Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, and that she was appointed to fill the spot left by the retiring Justice Peter Wright. Wright became a judge in Ottawa in 1993, before moving to the Perth courts in 2014. Hon. Chief Justice Lise Maisonneuve commended Wright for the "pride" in which he carried out his duties, and noted that he would be continuing on as a per diem judge. Hon. Regional Senior Justice Jean Legault, added that Wright would continue to serve "compassionately and respectfully." O'Brien becomes only the second female justice to
THE ISSUE: GENDER EQUALITY IN OUR COURTS LOCAL IMPACT: THE PERTH COURT HOUSE WELCOMED ITS SECOND-EVER FEMALE JUSTICE TO THE BENCH ON JULY 4 serve the Perth court. The first was Justice Inger Hansen, who was appointed to the Ontario Court of Justice in 1991, serving in Ottawa, Toronto, and Kitchener, before serving on the criminal bench in Perth until 2003. JUDGE WELCOMES Maisonneuve told O'Brien that during her time on the bench as a judge, she would be seeing a wide range of cases - some brief "and straightforward," while others would be long "and complicated." For anyone appearing before her as a defendant, she reminded O'Brien that it will be "one of the most stressful days of their lives," but, simultaneously,
Desmond Devoy/Torstar Justice Laurie Lacelle assists Justice Janet O'Brien in putting on the red sash of a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice, during O'Brien's swearing-in ceremony at the Perth courthouse on Thursday, July 4. "one of the most important days of their lives," that would forever colour how they saw the justice system. That outlook "will be shaped by your conduct." Legault took a lighter tack in welcoming O'Brien to the bench, telling the court that she makes "the best bread pudding this side of the United Kingdom," and that she is a "fan of obscure British TV series." She is also the mother of four children, is devoted to her family, and loves to travel. She warned the lawyers present, both defence and Crown counsels,
that Halloween was "a statutory holiday in the O'Brien house," so there may not be sittings on Oct. 31. "I bid you a warm welcome," Legault said. The Hon. Justice James R. Chaffe, president of the Association of Ontario Judges, welcomed her to the club. "We care about each other," he said. "You're becoming part of a wide-ranging circle of friends." He said that he knew that O'Brien would bring honour to her new profession. LAWYERS REMARKS Crown attorney Julie
Scott spoke on behalf of Ontario's attorney general, Doug Downey, and said that "it is with great confidence that this judicial authority is being invested in Justice O'Brien," she said. "Thank you for accepting the weighty responsibility." She added that she knew O'Brien possessed "integrity and strength of character," she said. Cecil Lyon, who spoke on behalf of Malcolm M. Mercer, treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada, said that as a Crown attorney, O'Brien had proven herself to be "an extremely
experienced litigator, (and) extremely fair-minded." "You are on the front lines of the judicial system," he said. "You are more than up to the task." Kate Ryan, president of the County of Lanark Law Association, said that the court's lawyers were looking forward to working with her, and she explained that the courts run a little differently than they do in O'Brien's hometown of Kingston. In the Perth court, lawyers can "have it out," in the morning, and then in the afternoon, can "call each other for help with another case," she said. She said Lanark County lawyers were "hard-working, skilled, and empathetic," she said. Ryan said that O'Brien would understandably find her first few weeks in office "daunting." She promised that the lawyers would "adopt (O'Brien) as our own. Your success is our success." She quoted a line from the musical Annie, when the orphan girl first arrives at the mansion of Daddy Warbucks. Looking around, she exclaims: "I think I'm going to like it here." Ryan said she hoped that O'Brien would soon have reason to make the same exclamation.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
After years working for the Crown attorney's office in Kingston, on July 4, after being appointed by the lieutenant governor, Justice Janet O'Brien was sworn in as only the second female justice for Lanark County, after Justice Inger Hansen left the bench in 2003.

GAS TAX FUNDING TO BRING UPGRADES TO MISSISSIPPI MILLS ROADS ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com A recent trip along Mississippi Mills roads has prompted council to direct federal gas tax funds to upgrading two in poor condition. This year, the municipality's federal gas tax
funding allotment is $394,474.08. Council voted to commit $58,000 of those funds to pulverizing 1.10 kilometres of Ramsay Concession 11A and $40,000 for asphalt patch work on Ramsay Concession 12. The surface treatment of Concession 11A, at a projected cost of $150,000, would be com-
pleted next year. To do the complete job, pricing would be $190,000. "This road (Concession 11A) is in very bad condition where it is almost impassable and requires immediate remediation," treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh stated in her report to council. She said the costs of labour and
Howard Kelford & DuBois LLP is pleased to announce the opening of our new Carleton Place office and the addition of a new lawyer!
insideottawavalley.com
Please drop by our Open House between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 at our new Carleton Place Office, Unit 1, 145 Hooper Street. Howard Kelford & DuBois LLP was founded more than 40 years ago in Smiths Falls by Paul Howard, who remains a valuable asset to our firm, working on a part-time basis. Over the years, the firm has grown to provide a broad range of services to individual, corporate and municipal clients throughout the Ottawa Valley, with full service offices at 2 Main Street East in Smiths Falls and now at Unit 1, 145 Hooper Street in Carleton Place. The current partners of the firm are: Shane Kelford, an Ottawa Valley native who has specialized knowledge in advanced corporate and commercial law, but also practices in real estate, wills and estates, and municipal law; Andrew Howard, a Smiths Falls native, whose practice focuses on real estate, wills and estates, land development and corporate and commercial law; and Teresa DuBois, resident of Carleton Place, who practices predominantly in the areas of family law, real estate, wills and estates. The firm is also pleased to have three associate lawyers: Jonathan Collings, who carries on a broad commercial and civil litigation practice, with an emphasis on employment law, construction, defamation, and tax appeals; Jennifer Reid, with a practice in the areas of real estate, wills and estates, litigation and commercial law; and now Tessa Morris, who has just joined the firm and will be practicing in the areas of family law, wills and estates, and civil litigation, among others. Our goal at Howard Kelford & DuBois LLP is to provide practical, cost-effective legal services to our clients with a strong focus on customer service. For more information on our firm and the services we offer, visit our website: www.valleylaw.ca.
cold patch amounts required to address potholes continue to rise. Improvements to Concession 12 would extend the life of the road by three to five years, Whitmarsh said. The municipality also has a contract for patch work, so work could begin right away. Initially, Whitmarsh proposed the remaining funds ($296,474.08) go toward the Victoria Street water/sewer project to reduce long-term debt, but council instead opted to place it into reserves for 2020. Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille suggested all of the funds be put toward Victoria Street. "This is part of the problem when you open the budget up halfway through the year ..." he said. "It's up to the vote of council, but most people here come in to look out for the people of Mississippi Mills and this is a good time to do it."
While she was in agreement with Minnille, Coun. Bev Holmes had travelled the roads in question. "Those two roads are in deplorable condition," she stated. "This is money that's come in over and above since we approved the budget. I'm certainly in favour of what the treasurer has recommended." Coun. John Dalgity proposed $190,000 be set aside to complete the entire length of Concession 11A. "If the costs are over, we wait until next year to do it," he said. "If it's $190,000 or under, we go ahead and do it." Director of roads and public works Guy Bourgon cautioned that tendering a job and not following through on the contract "wouldn't look kindly on us." "It's very difficult to get competitive pricing at this time of year because the contractors have a full slate of work on their plates," he said.
He suggested the project be pre-approved for 2020, so staff can go ahead with pricing in January, which satisfied Dalgity. Holmes wanted to stick with the plan recommended by the treasurer. "Lets spend the money and pulverize it (Concession 11A) back to gravel so at least it's safe to drive on and leave the paving for next year and follow our master plan," she said. Coun. Denzil Ferguson didn't want to see the funds go toward the Victoria Street project, which will only benefit the Almonte ward. Mayor Christa Lowry added that projects to be considered for completion with gas tax funds must benefit all taxpayers equally. "Coun. Ferguson's comment is right. Indeed this (Victoria Street) only applies to those on water and sewer ... rather than all residents of Mississippi Mills," she said.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? DECORATIVE BANNERS ON DISPLAY IN CARLETON PLACE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place is celebrating 200 years of settlement in 2019. To mark the occasion, decorative banners have been displayed on lampposts on Bridge and Coleman streets, sharing the community's rich history.
JUST THE FACTS: Sixty decorative lamppost banners are flying high in Carleton Place, an initiative of the Carleton Place 200 committee.

According to Carleton Place and District Heritage museum manager Jennifer Irwin, the banners were a joint project between the museum, Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) and municipality. The banners showcase 10 vintage photos - scenes and people from the town's past. To name a few: Carleton Place Canoe Club (CPCC) paddler Howard 'Mickey' Morphy, 'Carleton' steamship, Findlay Foundry workers and Central School. "All images were sourced from the collection at the museum," Irwin told the Canadian Gazette, and "a list of images used in the banners will be posted in the window of the BIA office," located at 136 Bridge St. Located along the Mississippi River, the CPCC has been in existence since 1893. Morphy, a member, was a champion paddler. Back in the day, the 'Carleton' steamship ran regular trips between Lake Park Lodge on Mississippi Lake and the docks near the Hawthorne Mill in Carleton Place. The Findlay Foundry, established by David Findlay in 1862, operated in Carleton Place until 1974, producing cast iron cookware and woodstoves.

CARLETON PLACE TO HOST ITS OWN AMAZING RACE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The Great Carleton Place Amazing Race is set for July 28, with participating teams winding through the town on a mission. Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) hosts the inaugural event, which is modelled after a popular scavenger hunt in Ottawa as well as TV show The Amazing Race. Carleton Place is marking 200 years of settlement in 2019, with a variety of activities taking place. "This is one of them," BIA co-ordinator Kate Murray told the Canadian Gazette, and "it is during the Come Home to Carleton Place week of celebration." The Great Carleton Place Amazing Race runs rain or shine from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., beginning at the Market Square on Beckwith Street. "We are hoping for 30 teams of four people," Murray said. The cost per team is only $20. During Canada 150 celebrations in 2017, Murray and community programmer Jessica Hansen were thinking ahead, wondering "what could we do for Carleton Place's 200th that was fun and engaging." Guided by maps and their wits, participants will undergo a series of 200 challenges as part of this overall scavenger hunt. This will include, locating objects, snap-
ping photos, trivia questions, social media posts and a series of mystery questions. "Each council member was asked to provide us with a mystery question," Murray said. "Coun. Theresa Fritz was the first one." Instagram and Facebook will be used to track the progress of teams. "We need to follow you," Murray said. "Points will be accumulated along the way." It is important to note, "Ensure one of your team members is social media savvy," she added. Teams will not know what they need to do until the air horn is blown. Murray noted, The Great Carleton Place Amazing Race is a walk or run only event. No other forms of transportation are permitted. "And teams race at their own risk," she stressed. Participants are encouraged to dress in their best first settlers' attire or wear deer stag antlers. "If the community thinks the race is a great idea, we will do it again," Murray said. The BIA is still looking for vendors (food, drink and other) to be at the Market Square on the day of the race. The cost per vendor: $15. "There is not a lot of room ... get in as soon as possible," Murray urged. To register for The Great Carleton Place Amazing Race, stop by the BIA office, located at 136 Bridge St., town hall (175 Bridge St.), Carambeck Community Centre (351 Bridge St.) and arena (75 Neelin St.). Forms are available at www.carletonplace200.ca. "Registration is also available the day of the race, between 10 and 11 a.m. at the Market Square," Murray advised. For additional information, email info@downtowncarletonplace.com.

LANARK COUNTY THERAPEUTIC RIDING CHANGES PEOPLE AND ANIMALS' LIVES In the spring of 2009, July's TR Hero Pam Clements had just retired from a government job and was looking for an opportunity to give back to the community. "I saw an ad in the paper about the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP), and I thought this is what I should do," she said. "I had horses years before and realized that this was a perfect opportunity. I could work with horses again and help people at the same time. I loved it right away" Pam is a key contributor to the success of the
LCTRP. She is a horse handler on Tuesday mornings, has been an exercise rider, hosted a horse over winters and pitches in whenever there is a job that needs to be done. "This program is as therapeutic for me as it is for the riders," she said. "Not only have I seen horses do so much good for the riders in the program, I also have a whole new circle of friends that I made while volunteering. Many of them are major parts of my life now." In addition to her volunteer work with LCTRP, Pam is also a volunteer
board member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. She loves to camp at music festivals and enjoy local country and bluegrass artists. Everyone knows that country music and horses go together and now Pam has both. This month, Sheen, the TR horse with whom Pam has developed a very strong bond, retired from the program. He has a forever home with Pam. Pam has hosted Sheen for the winter for six years and has always been assigned to work with him in lessons. "I am a big softy, and I
quickly became very attached to him, but people started to notice that the attachment went both ways," said Pam. "He belonged to the program, but people kept telling me that he was mine. Now he really is mine." Pam will continue to volunteer with the therapeutic riding program, but now when she goes home, Sheen will be waiting for her. "Sheen, my dog Shae and I are going to live the high life together." For more than 30 years, the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program has

HAVE YOUR SAY ON CANADA'S GREEN NEW DEAL JULY 16 Join us July 16 in Carleton Place for a town-hall meeting to help shape the vision for a Green New Deal for Canada. What is a Green New Deal, you ask? This movement, started to deal with the current climate crisis that is threatening us and our planet, is now gathering momentum in the U.S., Australia, Great Britain, and now Canada due to the need to act now, because in 11 years it will be too late. The idea of a Green New Deal is modelled on former
U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal during the 1930s Great Depression, which not only provided support for farmers, the unemployed, youth and the elderly, but also imposed new restrictions on the banking industry. Under the New Deal the government created jobs by financing a major program of public works, hospitals, reforestation and flood control, and programs that enabled farmers to earn a fair price for their produce, and provide subsidies to them for
adopting innovative methods to improve the productivity of their land. The Green New Deal has adapted Roosevelt's economic strategies to focus on slashing emissions and protecting critical biodiversity. It will mobilize our creativity and participation to implement renewable energy and resource-efficient programs, generating over a million jobs in the process. The Green New Deal also includes strategies to remedy our current economic and social problems; for ex-
ample, income inequality, racism, worker exploitation, social isolation, and lack of housing. Underpinning the Green New Deal's approach to tackling the climate crisis is the recognition of the rights of Indigenous nations and their knowledge. This Carleton Place event is one of many Green New Deal town halls being held in communities across the country this year. The conversation is being led from the ground up through these town halls, bringing together

They say the sun never stops shining, just sometimes we can’t see it. They say the wind never stops blowing, we just don’t always feel it.

Happy 90th Birthday Mom! Love you with all my heart! Thank you for always being there for me. I’m so blessed to have such a wonderful Mom! Your loving daughter, Trudy Your mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space... not even when gone with love to God’s everlasting heaven

OPINION
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!

This week’s puzzle answers in next weeks issue.
My son and I will soon depart on our annual, summer baseball sojourn to Toronto to see "Canada's team" the Blue Jays play. It's something Craig and I look forward to and even though Rogers Centre has its critics, we aren't among them. The mere fact the stadium's roof can be opened and closed means rainouts aren't an issue. As I have noted previously in this space we are lifelong Detroit Tigers' fans. That's mainly because of our family connection to Chatham, Ontario an hour's drive from Detroit and also the fact we have family living in the Detroit area. But with Toronto home to Canada's only Major League Baseball (MLB) team we long ago joined Jays' fan army. Now we have two favourite teams. As MLB fans we received a very pleasant surprise recently! It appears that before long we may once again have a choice about which Canadian city we visit to get our annual fix of live Major League action. A few weeks ago the owner of Tampa Bay Rays (formerly Devil Rays) of the American League and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed a media story that permission
has been granted for the team to play some games in Montreal, if a suitable arrangement can be struck. Because this idea is at a formative stage details are sketchy. The reason for the move is clear however. Rays have never been a big hit in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Bradenton area on Florida's west coast (Tampa Bay region). Since the club's inception in 1998 they have played at Tropicana Field a domed stadium located in St. Petersburg. Although purpose built for baseball the fixed dome facility is unpopular with fans and players alike. Fans dislike the drab concrete interior. Players are unhappy with the artificial turf and low hanging catwalks which can play havoc with batted balls. The park's location, away from the main population centre of Tampa, is also unpopular. Fan attendance at "The Trop" as the stadium is nicknamed was the second lowest in the MLB last season. The other Florida team, Miami Marlins of the National League (NL), had the lowest attendance mark in 2018. Despite the fact Florida has traditionally hosted MLB spring training the state has not supported its two major league teams. Poor attendance is the
reason Tampa Bay management is now considering shifting games to Montreal. There hasn't been a regular season game played in the Quebec centre since the Expos' final season in the NL in 2004. The following spring the ball club relocated to Washington D.C. In recent years there has been a huge lobby to bring baseball back to Montreal. In addition the success of Blue Jays' annual exhibition series at the Olympic Stadium has MLB management interested. If a new downtown stadium is constructed that is. Some big money people are involved in Montreal which strengthens the process. The plan being floated by Rays' owner would see the club play the first and last parts of their home season in St. Petersburg and half the campaign (MLB clubs play 81 home games) in Montreal. Instead of an expansion franchise the arrival of the Rays could signal immediate success. Tampa Bay is a legitimate playoff contender with a young lineup featuring many outstanding players. I read quite a few media stories and newspaper columns after the Rays to Montreal story broke recently. One enthusiastic Montreal-based columnist made me laugh when he said his son has already coined a nickname for the new team. He thinks they should be named "ExRays." Very cute indeed!

All because I couldn't work a yo-yo, Emerson called me a name that sounded like a swear word to me. But it wasn't in the little red dictionary I got for Christmas, so I figured he made it up. He wouldn't let it end there. Oh no! He rhymed off a list of things that were beyond me, and it wasn't long before I took myself to the swing in the grape arbour to think about it.
Emerson said he knew lots of young kids my age who were far smarter than I was, and he also said it was because Father was distantly related to Miss Crosby, my teacher at the Northcote School, that I even passed from Primer book into the next grade. I sat in the swing that morning, pushing the seat back and forth and tried to think of all the things others were good at, and at which I was a total loss. Maybe Emerson was right. Just maybe I wasn't too bright after all. There was Cecil. He could move his ears up and down. One at a time, or both at once. He did this trick of course, when Miss Crosby was working on the blackboard, so couldn't see him. It was all we could do to keep from laughing out loud, as one after another, Cecil's ears moved up and down on his head. How of-
ten I tried to move my ears. Nothing! So that was another thing I couldn't do. I thought of Two Mile Herman who could snap his fingers so loudly you could hear the snap all over the schoolyard. Just about everyone I knew could snap their fingers. Not me! My sister Audrey even tried to teach me, but my fingers simply would not co-operate! And right there in the swing, I tried desperately to get even a little sound, but nothing happened. So there was another thing that seemed to be simple to others, and yet was beyond me! Just about everyone at the Northcote School could whistle through their teeth! Not me! All I could do was blow out spit every time I tried. My three brothers could stand at the top of the hill behind the silo and whistle through their teeth for the
cows down at the Bonnechere. They put two fingers into their mouth, blow, and out would come a shrill whistle that could be heard in the next county. They didn't know hard I tried. I thought it had something to do with their teeth. I was the only one in the family with a gap and I figured that should make it easier to whistle, but it certainly didn't work for me! Even my sister Audrey could manage a faint whistle, not nearly as loud as my brothers, but at least hers could be heard. I tried my best to think of something I could do easily. Certainly I could skip rope. Poor Cora who was round as a barrel couldn't skip rope, but I knew it was because of her size. Well, that was one thing I could do, and I could do it well. Then and there I decided I would put on a demonstration, just to show my hate-
ful brother Emerson how clever I was with a skipping rope! Sadly, I didn't get the chance. Mother called me in off the swing to peel potatoes for supper. I sat at the kitchen table with the newspaper spread out before me and got right down to the job, which certainly wasn't my favourite kitchen chore. Mother was setting the table around me, she stopped to take a look, and patting me on the shoulder, she said, "You know Mary, I think you are the best potato peeler in the whole family." I sat up straighter in the chair and gave considerable thought to asking Mother if she would mind very much repeating that
when Emerson came in to wash up before supper. I just had to figure out a way of letting my brother Emerson know I could do something better than anyone else in the family and I wasn't that hateful word he had called me when I couldn't work the yo-yo.
