Spot repairs coming for Central Bridge BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Central Bridge in Carleton Place is under the weather, with spot repairs required immediately. During the policy review meeting on June 27, council members heard staff discovered a number of issues relating to the expansion joints on Central Bridge, the main crossing on Bridge Street near town hall. Bridge expansion joints are designed to allow for continuous traffic between structures while accommodating movement. According to director of public works Dave Young, “McIntosh Perry responded to staff concerns and assessed the situation.” “The consultant has developed a work plan that requires immediate implementation to ensure no further damage (to the bridge) occurs,” he said. “Would that be the big banging noise you hear when you drive across it?”

Coun. Brian Doucett asked. Young confirmed it was. “That is not a special effect I arranged for tonight,” he stated with a laugh. “That is, in fact, what is going on.” The repairs would result in Central Bridge being reduced to one lane for several days. “We do need to get that fixed,” Doucett stressed. “Sooner or later, a joint is going to come up through somebody’s truck.” Council members carried a motion, moved by Coun. Sean Redmond and seconded by Coun. Ross Trimble, instructing staff to work with McIntosh Perry and hire a qualified contractor to undertake the bridge repairs as soon as possible on a time and materials basis. “This is simply to do just the immediate repairs,” Young qualified, and “it will Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland probably require a week of work on the bridge because Celtfest delivered plenty of fun and excitement over the weekend, July 7-9.

Rideau Canal celebrates 10 years as UNESCO World Heritage site This year marks a year of celebrations and milestones for Canada, particularly as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Canada’s national parks and historic sites enable Canadians to experience their rich history and heritage in a special way and the government is very pleased to offer free admission for all visitors to Parks Canada locations in 2017 to celebrate Canada 150. On July 2, the government is proud to underscore the 10th anniversary of the Rideau Canal National Historic Site being inscribed as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site. “As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Rideau Canal represents one of the world’s most outstanding achievements,” stated Catherine McKenna, minister of Environment and Climate Change and minister responsible for Parks Canada. “Our government
is deeply committed to protecting Canada’s heritage places now, and for future generations. We are fortunate to have this remarkable national treasure in the heart of Canada’s capital. I encourage Canadians to enjoy the natural beauty and experience the rich history of the Rideau Canal, both a national historic site and world heritage site.” As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Rideau Canal is deemed to have outstanding universal value. As a large strategic canal constructed for military purposes, the Rideau Canal played a crucial contributory role in allowing British forces to defend the colony of Canada against the United States of America, leading to the development of two distinct political and cultural entities in the north of the continent. Deemed to represent a significant stage in human history by the World Heritage Committee, the Rideau Canal was inscribed as a

Source protection staff meeting with land, business owners using chemicals near water systems The Mississippi-Rideau Drinking Water Source Protection staff will be meeting with land and business owners this summer in the communities of Almonte, Kemptville, Merrickville, Montague, Smiths Falls and Westport who may be using chemicals that could pose a risk to the municipal drinking water systems. This work is being done by drinking water source protection staff on behalf of the local municipalities as they strive to meet the requirements of the Ontario’s Clean Water Act. The locally-produced and supported Source Water Protection Plan sets out ways to ensure long-term protection of municipal drinking water supplies. Drinking Water Protection Zones are outlined in the Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Plan and are areas where the drinking water source is more vulnerable and as a result has spe-
cial protection. Certain activities that take place within these zones can pose a risk to the municipal drinking water supply. Chemicals known as dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) are heavier than water, meaning that they sink and do not dissolve in water. These chemicals are harmful to human health and are very difficult and expensive to clean up. DNAPLs may be present in dry cleaning chemicals, paints, paint strippers, degreasing and cleaning agents, lubricants and adhesives. If these chemicals are present, Mississippi-Rideau staff will work with land and business owners to ensure that proper practices are established and recognized so that current activities do not pose a threat to the drinking water source.

Explore the tradition of black ash basketry at Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum Making a useful basket from a tree trunk could be a mystery for any one other than an Indigenous person. For many years, our First Nations people have traditionally used the trunk of a black ash tree to provide the fine splints for basketmaking. This is done by pounding the trunk with a wooden mallet until the growth rings separate. This summer, the Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum, in the village of McDonald’s Corners, is celebrating black ash basketry. During the month of July, there will be a demonstration of pounding the black ash to release these fine splints. On Aug. 26, Richard Nolan, a basket teacher from Kahnawake, Que., will be coming to the MERA Schoolhouse in McDonald’s Corners. He will teach a workshop on making a small black ash basket and discuss the traditional preparation of black ash splints. The Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum, at 5596 McDonald’s Corners Rd., is open every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment —

SCHEDULE:
Silver Chain Challenge shows appetite for active transportation in Ottawa Valley June 2017 was one of the rainiest Bike Months ever in the Ottawa Valley, but that didn't dampen participation in the Silver Chain Challenge, the friendly online competition between Lanark and Renfrew counties. In all, 167 participants logged 36,784 kilometres of cycling, walking or running during the month. The statistics are all available online at http://silverchainchallenge.ca/ scc/stats and are tracked by municipality, showing the number of participants, the distances they logged, the population and the per cent of population taking part. Overall, Renfrew, with 128 participants, topped Lanark, with 39. After adjustment for population (Renfrew has 101,573, Lanark, 65,667), Renfrew is still the winner. "Everyone wins in this," said Laura Brisson, paramedic public relations co-ordinator, County of Renfrew. "Thank you all for your participation and for making Renfrew County a healthier more active place to live. Congratulations to everyone who participated in this friendly competition; it was one big step closer to a more active and healthier community." On a municipal basis, Arnprior logged the most distance — 5,832.6 kilometres — while Mississippi Mills had the most participants (26) and finished second in distance with 5,445.3 km. Tiny North Algona Wilberforce, with just 2,958 residents had 15 participants, logged 3,253.8 km, and had the highest participation rate of all municipalities. Whitewater Region, home of two major cycling events this year, had 18 participants, logged 3,055.9 km and had the third highest participation rate. Second highest participation rate was in Admaston/ Bromley, whose 12 participants logged 1,285 km. The Silver Chain Challenge is a great local tradition, and this year's
edition showed its continuing importance, according to one of its founders, Jeff Mills of Mississippi Mills, a member of the Ottawa Valley Cycling and Active Transportation Alliance (OVCATA). "It's important to encourage people to cycle and participate, for their health and for the community’s,” he said. “And it provides us an opportunity to collect data that counties and municipalities can use in future planning." Next year, he said, the event will be headed up by the newly-formed Eastern Ontario Active Transpor-
tation Network, which was formed subsequent to this year's Eastern Ontario Active Transportation Summit. The network will be organized by health units from counties in the region. OVCATA's co-chair Ish Theilheimer, who put in nearly 800 km in June, is pleased with how the event went. "Despite some awfully wet weather, it encouraged a lot of us to get out on bikes or walking and get others out too,” he noted.

Participation encouraged for inaugural march set for July 27 in Carleton Place A dirty, slatternly woman, an immoral woman, a woman of loose moral values; this is the Collins English Dictionary definition of the word “slut.” Historically, this word has carried a predominantly negative connotation. It has been primarily women who have suffered under this label — women who are (or are perceived to be) sexually promiscuous. Whether dished out as a serious indictment of one’s character or merely as a flippant insult, the consequences of this word have always been wounding, so we are taking it back. This word is being re-appropriated. The inaugural Slut Walk Lanark County (SWLC) on July 27 is an event for people who believe that nothing — not clothing, not behaviour, not profession, not sexual history — is a substitute for explicit consent. It is an event inspired by a Toronto police officer, who suggested on Jan. 24, 2011 that if women wanted to avoid being sexually assaulted, they shouldn’t “dress like sluts.” This walk has been happening in major cities across Canada and internationally since 2011. Many
people still associate the crime of sexual assault with the victim’s dress, actions, level of inebriation or sexual history. We at SWLC feel the time is now to have our own march here in Lanark County. So, this walk will have its inaugural event on July 27, hosted by the Town of Carleton Place. Our mission is to spread the word that those who experience sexual assault are not the ones at fault, without exception. SWLC is about claiming space, place and presences with voice and visibility for the victims of sexual violence. Our aim is to educate the public on the realities and prevalence of sexual assault and sexual violence suffered by women, men, LGBTQ individuals, minorities and marginalized groups. We are tired of being oppressed by shaming, of being judged by our sexuality and feeling unsafe as a result. No number of previous partners, alcoholic beverages had, or amount of skin shown gives permission for sexual interaction. No one is “asking for it.” We must stand together to shift the cultural paradigm that protects perpetrators and abusers
and punishes victims. One day, this word will not be used to write a free pass for the indiscriminate and unpermitted use of other people’s bodies. One day, our bodies will be our own and they will be protected. We are a movement demanding that our voices be heard. We are here to make sure that the day comes sooner rather than later that all persons will feel protected and respected by police, supported by our communities and have our civil rights upheld by the courts. Most importantly, we want to be certain that those charged with our safety have a true understanding of what it is to be a survivor of sexual assault. The event promises to be loud and proud, and SWLC encourages individuals and groups to register for the event, as well as for the poster-making event, which will take place the night before the march. Local businesses are encouraged to sponsor the event as well. For more information or to register, visit our Facebook page, Slut Walk Lanark County. Submitted by Tracy Kwissa, founder of SWLC

Commentary Spotting fakes
W
e shouldn’t always be offended when the cashier takes a few seconds to check the bill he or she was just handed at the checkout. As much as the newer Canadian polymer currency is more elaborate than its previous paper forms, the issue of counterfeit notes has not gone away even with the safeguards taken by the Bank of Canada. A recent OPP release cites an RCMP report that indicates there were more than 17,500 confirmed counterfeit Canadian bank notes passed in 2016; almost 4,000 were passed in Ontario. That might be a drop in the bucket given $75 billion worth of Canadian bank notes are in circulation, but no one wants to lose out because of counterfeit money. The OPP note that a good counterfeit will look like the real thing, but it might only take a few seconds to spot a fake when checking the safety features (such as feeling the raised ink on the words Bank of Canada on a $5-dollar note, or looking at the metallic build-
ing and seeing it change colour when the bill is tilted). The security features can be viewed at bankofcanada.ca. Cash handlers are advised to set aside any suspicious notes and jot down any information about the circumstances by which the notes were obtained. Provide the suspicious currency to police and request a receipt, so that genuine notes can be returned. Although the person might be trying to pass a counterfeit bank note, he or she might not be aware that the bill is fake and is an unwitting victim of crime, according to the OPP. Retailers are reminded that counterfeit notes are more likely to be passed during busy periods and to be wary of customers who want to pay with much higher denominations of bills than needed. “Cash handlers must ensure their own safety first,” the release states. So-called funny money is no laughing matter when you’re the one who is out of pocket.
Mary and the family fully enjoyed Orangeman’s parade It didn’t matter a whit if you were an Irish Catholic, a German Lutheran, or someone from some other background, everyone for miles around went to the Orangeman’s parade on the 12th of July. Father and the brothers were up at the crack of dawn to do the chores early, and Mother and Audrey were making the lunch to take into Renfrew long before I was out of bed. It would be the most exciting event since the parade several years ago. Towns took turns in hosting the 12th of July, and that year it was Renfrew’s turn. If you didn’t get into town early to park on the main street, you had to go to wherever you could find a spot, and you then ended up standing in the blazing sun under one of the awnings a very few

stores had over their doorways. And so that morning, we headed into Renfrew at a time when we would usually be just eating our breakfast. Every ounce of me tingled with excitement. There was nothing that thrilled me more than marching bands and crowds of people, and I could certainly be assured of both as we drove into town in the Model T, hoping we could make the 12.5 mile trip without a flat tire. “Couldn’t be better,” Father said as he wheeled the car next to the curb right in front of the Chinese restaurant. “When can we have the lunch?” Emerson wanted to know. Mother just rolled her eyes in answer. He was treading on thin ice to begin with, as he fought Everett to sit next to the back window, which wasn’t
a window at all, but rolled up curtains tied with narrow leather straps. It seemed like hours had passed before we heard the bands coming onto the main street from the fair grounds, and I knew from remembering the last Orangeman’s Parade, that leading the bands and people walking down Raglan Street, would be King Billy on a white horse, dressed in white himself, with sashes and ribbons in bright orange. I
was fair tingling by the time we saw the white horse three blocks away, and you could hear the people clapping and cheering, as the Orangemen marched behind bands. They too, were all dressed in white, with orange banners across their chests. I asked my sister Audrey why we couldn’t be in the parade too, and she said you had to be Irish, and preferably a Catholic. Well, there were the Briscoe’s and they certainly weren’t Catholic! Audrey told me to hush up and listen to the bands soon to be in front of us, as we leaned against the Model T. And then we heard the clomp-clomp of hooves, and knew King Billy would soon appear. And appear he did! Such splendour! And right behind King Billy

was the Orangeman who was obviously just as important as King Billy himself. He had a small drum attached to his waist somehow, but he was also blowing into the tiniest horn I had ever seen. His white cap was rimmed with orange braid, and every so often he would take the horn and use it to push the cap back, and then he’d give the little drum a rap with the horn for good measure. He didn’t look right to me, and it was Father’s comment, which told me why. “He’s as drunk as a hoot-owl,” he said. “I don’t think he’ll make it as far as the swinging bridge.” I lost count of the number of bands and the people walking behind, some children far younger than I was, dressed in full regalia for the day. And right then I made

up my mind that as soon as I was old enough I was going to become an Orangeman! I couldn’t think of anything more exciting than walking in a parade dressed in white with an orange sash, and band music filling the air. Even though my sister said you had to be Irish and preferably a Catholic, which I doubted, I decided if I had to give up the Lutheran Church, and my German heritage, so be it! At that young age, I decided if that was the price of becoming an Orangeman, it was a price I was willing to pay! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Tips to keep in mind when encountering blue-green algae blooms this summer Blue-green algae blooms are a natural seasonal phenomenon that may appear in our lakes, rivers and ponds. Many of these blooms are relatively harmless; however, some species have the potential to produce toxins which may be harmful to people and animals. The presence of blue-green algae and its toxins can only be confirmed through a laboratory test, so we recommend taking a cautious approach when you suspect a blue-green algae bloom. Toxins that can cause skin irritation, nausea and vomiting, as well as liver problems in higher concentrations, are released when the cells break down. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit advises people using surface water for recreation and drinking to become familiar with bluegreen algae, so they can make informed decisions on when to avoid contact with the water. Algae blooms do degrade with time; however, it is not possible to say whether the toxins have completely left the area. Once the toxin is released from the cell, where it goes is dependent on the local characteristics of water movement in the area. The toxin will eventually be diluted into the body of water, as any other soluble compound. Drinking water Surface water is never a safe source of drinking water without effective treatment. The toxins released by blue-green algae are not removed by commonly used treatment methods such as boiling, chlorination or ultraviolet light treatment. Consult a water treatment specialist if your drinking water comes from the lake. You may want to choose another source of water for

drinking. Recreational water use Avoid activities that increase your exposure to toxins in the water during an active algae bloom. When deciding whether to resume recreational use of the water after a blue-green algae bloom (swimming and water sports), consider the following factors: • Faster moving water will dilute and move the toxins out of an area more quickly, further decreasing the risk to health. Each property will have a different water flow pattern, so a local assessment is useful to further assess risk. • Skin irritation is the first sign that the level of toxin is significant in the water. So, if this occurs, it is important not to go in the water. A few more days will help to clear the water if it is moving well, unless another bloom has occurred. • The water in lakes and rivers always has the potential to be infected with bacteria, viruses and
other microbes that can affect health. So, it is important not to swallow the water. Young children are more likely to swallow water, so it is critical to observe them carefully when in the water. • Be cautious about eating fish caught in water where a bluegreen algae bloom has occurred. Toxins are concentrated in the liver. So, avoid consuming the liver, kidneys and other organs of fish caught in an area affected by blue-green algae. Algae exist in nature; however, they rely on certain conditions to grow. While we cannot control many of these conditions, we can influence one of the factors that affect their growth: the nutrients available to them. You can help reduce nutrient levels entering the lake by reducing the use of household fertilizers, agricultural run-off, and ensuring your septic system is in good working order. Residents are encouraged to contact the Spills Action Center at 1-800-268-6060 to report any new blue-green algae blooms.

Vermont is high on personal favourite summer travel list There are some places I never tire of and the American state of Vermont is near the top of my personal list of favourite locations. Kathleen and I go to Vermont at least once a year, sometimes twice. This summer we are planning another journey to the picturesque state. On this occasion we will be in the company of our friends from West Yorkshire, England who are coming for a two-week visit. We are really looking forward to that! If you enjoy solitude then Vermont is definitely the place for you. Besides the beauty of the place, highlighted by the Green Mountain range that forms the spine of the state, this is where you should go. With a total population of less than 630,000 living in an area of 24,900 square kilometres (9,614 sq. miles) you are guaranteed to find lots of locations that are totally void of other people. Ottawa, by comparison, has nearly a million residents. Vermont is 45th out of 50 American states in terms of total land area. But when you are driving around it seems much larger. Burlington, one of our favourite cities in the world, is the largest centre in Vermont and it has just 42,000 residents. I read online that Burlington is “the least populous city in the United States to be the most populous municipality in a state.” You may have to think about that for a minute. Because it is relatively well-known as a centre of population, business and education (the University of Vermont is located there) Burlington is often mistaken for the capital city of

the state. However, the state “capitol” (Americans spell the word with an ‘o’) is actually tiny Montpelier which, with a population of under 8,000, is the smallest state capitol in the United States. Montpelier is well worth a visit, if only to see the impressive State House. Featuring a spectacular domed roof topped with gold leaf (yes, real gold) the State House is set against a wooded hillside which adds to the visual appeal of the structure. We have toured the building and it is time well spent if you decide to go there. Opened in 1859 the State House underwent a major restoration in the 1980s. It is as impressive inside as it is outside. Montpelier is always a beehive of activity with a busy downtown core and on week days the city’s population more than doubles due to all of the state offices and other infrastructure centred in the capitol. There is a large museum downtown, a stone’s throw from the State House which we plan to visit this summer for the first time. Tidy farms Dairy farming is the linchpin of Vermont’s agricultural sector. But the neat farms, with Holsteins graz-
ing blissfully on the rolling landscape, hide the fact that Vermont’s agricultural economy has taken a huge nosedive in modern times. By the year 2000 just three per cent of the state’s working population were employed in agriculture and only 2.2 per cent of Vermont’s annual domestic product was generated by farming. I’m sure that has declined further over the course of 17 years. The trend exists across our continent and as someone who grew up on a farm I find the situation extremely worrying. When we are in Vermont however, we cast any worries aside and enjoy some of the many things the state has to offer. I have written about Vermont’s fabulous covered bridges on a number of occasions over the years. They are one of the finest features in the state and add to the unique nature of the place. Kathy and I first began “covered bridge hunting” in the mid-1990s. We have now visited and photographed more than 80 of the state’s 104 working bridges. That number is variable actually because from year-to-year bridges are forced to close for repairs and in some locations they remain gated for years until local authorities are able to find the often considerable amounts of cash needed to put them right. Sadly we know where a number of once well used bridges have been shut for safety reasons. A few have been bypassed and are now fit only for pedestrian traffic. A real shame! The good news is that many covered bridges remain in good condition and in most locations they are an im-
portant conduit for travel across the many rivers and mountain streams which bisect beautiful Vermont. Some municipalities, realizing what a wonderful asset covered bridges are in their communities, have set aside the funds necessary to regularly upgrade the wooden structures. Flooding is often the culprit when it comes to bridge damage. In fact a number have been destroyed during major floods meaning a complete rebuild was necessary. Vermont’s covered bridges were built in the 19th century and there were once 700 in existence. Fewer than 200 remain and of that number just over half are still in use. Beside their obvious practical purpose the bridges became community gathering places during an era when few public buildings existed. Because they have roofs the bridges were used for meetings, weddings and even served as impro-
vised play areas for youngsters. There are many fine examples of 19th century bridge architecture among the structures which remain in use. Some are as short as 40 feet while the Cornish-Windsor Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River in southeast Vermont, is the second longest covered bridge in the U.S. at an impressive 137 metres (449 feet, five inches). We enjoyed photographing it and driving across of course. Speaking of driving, if you are thinking about a summer road trip in the Northeastern U.S. this year I highly recommend a visit to Vermont. It’s only a few hours away from eastern Ontario and there is so much to see and do for people of all ages and interests.

Imagine Star Wars without its iconic theme music. Jaws without its pulse-pounding intro soundtrack. Gone With The Wind stripped of its sweeping musical refrain. Music is an essential "character" in our favourite movies, and its role on the stage is just as indispensable. For proof, consider the musical landscape created by play director Jane Stott for the humorous, heart warming coming-of-age story Moon Over The Brewery, which opens at Perth’s Studio Theatre July 20. In one scene, Japanese flutes soar as a samurai warrior dramatically strides across the stage. In another, you'll tap your toes to some classic Johnny Cash. Then, when a young single mom’s honour is at stake, sword play breaks out, cleverly choreographed to a swashbuckling soundtrack. And since the play takes place in a Pennsylvania coal mining town, a little hillbilly music will set the mood, along with some Cole Porter as a Great Gatsby character appears. Yes, music is an important part of the recipe in this heartwarming story of an unmarried waitress named Miriam, her precocious daughter, Amanda, and a meddling imaginary character named Randolph, all struggling to find their place in each other's lives. Young Amanda (played by 13-yearold Samantha Salter) has an IQ of 160, and escapes reality by reading. Regardless of what story she's currently immersed in, her fantasy friend Randolph (delightfully brought to life by veteran actor Lucas Tennant) always seems to take a lead role. Although mother Miriam (the very engaging Tracy Noonan) would like a special someone in her life, Amanda doesn’t want this to happen. So, with Randolph’s help, and a round or two of the Encyclopedia Game, she

manages to scare off any prospective suitors. But then unassuming mailman Warren Zimmerman enters the picture (played by the perfectly cast Carleton Place character actor Grey Masson) and Randolph and Amanda have to pull out the big guns to get rid of this interloper. Will true love win the day? Will Randolph take on yet another role in a classic novel? The answers to these questions are entertaining and amusing, and you may even be moved to shed a tear or two ... Moon Over The Brewery, written by Bruce Graham, opens at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, July 20 for seven performances, July 20, 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m., and July 23 and 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $22 (cash only) at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E, (613-267- 2350), and $22 plus convenience fee at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., (613-267- 6817; shadowfax.on.ca) and Tickets Please, in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 485-6434; ticketsplease.ca) both of which accept in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 at the door for students with ID. Attend opening night and save $5. And this summer the Studio Theatre is part of our town's Perth Passport program. As a passport holder you can receive $5 off one ticket to each of our summer plays, Moon Over the Brewery and Romantic Comedy, at the door only. (One ticket per Passport per play.

Summer time is here and so is music festival season. While music festivals and other summer parties are a great way to celebrate the season, it is important to consider safety, especially when it comes to drugs and alcohol. If you or someone around you chooses to use drugs or alcohol, here are some tips that can help reduce the potential harms. • Understand that illegal drugs can
be tainted with other dangerous substances, such as fentanyl and carfentanil, which can be deadly. • Do not mix drugs with other drugs, or with alcohol. • Never leave your drink unattended and do not accept drinks, even water, from someone you don't know. • Never use drugs alone and stay with your friends and people you trust. • Do not leave someone alone if they

seem ill. Stay with them and immediately call for help from volunteers and emergency contacts. • Call 911 or your local emergency help line if you think someone is having a drug overdose. • Carry naloxone, which can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, if you or someone you know uses drugs. Follow the directions on the kit and administer it right away. Many community organizations or local public health units offer training in the proper use of naloxone. • Stay until help arrives. The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act provides certain legal protections for individuals who seek emergency help during an overdose situation and who are in possession of illegal drugs themselves. • Talk to your teen about the dangers of drugs. • Be aware that people who use drugs and alcohol can be at an increased risk of sexual assault. Recognize signs of an opioid overdose: difficulty walking and talking; very small pupils; cold and clammy skin; slow and weak breathing; choking; and extreme drowsiness or inability to wake up. Canada is facing a serious public health crisis related to opioid overdoses and deaths. Submitted by Health Canada
Perth's Full Circle Theatre provides big entertainment with Trifles, Tea & Tape Trifles, Tea & Tape is something very different from Perth's oldest community theatre. The three short plays that comprise the one hour, 45 minute show add up to a big evening of entertainment. It's a production with something for everyone, from mystery to music to an exploration of memories from one of the 20th centuries greatest
playwrights. It opens with Trifles, a short mystery by Susan Glaspell. A group of people arrive at a farmhouse kitchen on a cold winter day. Someone has been murdered; the men must put together the clues to the crime, while the women deal with the "kitchen things" that are necessary. It's all about the "trifles": a loaf of bread, an unwiped
tabletop, a badly stitched piece of quilting. While the men (Brian Atterbury as farmer Peters, Greg Morris as Sheriff Hale, Scott Duncan as Count Attorney Henderson) tromp about the place and find very little, the wives (Barb Guthrie as Mrs. Hale and Janice Jacklin as Mrs. Peters) put a story together from tiny hints. Guthrie and Jacklin's performances are being
called "magic!" by patrons as the two quietly discuss the plight of women on the cold Nebraska prairie and discover their own sympathies for each other and for the possible murderer. The end comes as surprisingly as it does quickly in this 27 minute mystery. The cast of Trifles then take their bows and immediately and efficiently transform the set for the next show, a
tiny little confection of a musical comedy called Tea Cups by George Grossmith, Jr. who was a principal member of Gilbert and Sullivan's company for many years. Needless to say, Tea Cups is a topsy-turvy, silly diversion of a piece meant just for entertainment's sake. See TRIFLES page 19

From page 18
Real life ed couple David and Sheila Kroetsch take on the roles of an older Victorian pair, General Deelah and Mrs. Nankeen-Worcester. In their first real theatrical performances, the Kroetsches keep the action lively and the music bright. Mrs. Nankeen-Worcester has an antique china saucer that may have belonged to Julius Caesar; General Deelah plans to acquire it, one way or another. In 22 minutes and five songs, the two come to a mutual understanding and agree to "give up old china and live in Japan." Laughter and applause are very evident throughout. After an intermission, the show takes a side step into something very different. Krapp's Last Tape is a 40 minute play by Samuel Beckett, author of Waiting for Godot. Part comedy, part clown-show, part drama, it's a one-man play for
one actor and a tape recorder BDP producing director David Jacklin has stepped into the central role after the illness of the actor originally intended to play the part of Krapp, an old man who, each year, has made a tape recording of his reflections on the past year. As he plays back his memories, he tries to find a way to connect with his past. Jacklin's performance is being hailed as "brilliant!" as he goes from the comedy of slipping on a banana peel to the intense emotion of sitting quietly while listening to his past playing on a tape recorder. The taped voice of the young Krapp is also a huge part of the performance, in this case recorded by Aiden Shenkman at the young age of 17. Between Jacklin's performance and Shenkman's taped voice, the audience are brought to silence time after time, before breaking into long applause at the show's end. Trifles, Tea & Tape opened
last weekend at Perth's Full Circle Theatre, but now takes a week off, allowing patrons to attend the Stewart Park Festival in Perth instead. The show returns for performances July 20, 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m. and July 23 at 1:30 p.m. Curtain times are one-half hour earlier than usual: 7:30 p.m. for evenings shows; 1:30 p.m. for the matinee. All performances are at the air-conditioned Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door, students $10. To reserve, simply call 613 267 1884. BarnDoor Productions will round out their summer season in August with the outrageous, uproarious, delightfully naughty and thoroughly musical Lysistrata, a brand-new, 2,400 year-old musical comedy about how the women of Greece band together to put a stop to a war.

Chime systems column sparks additional letters to car counsellor I received some interesting emails sparked by a recent column on warning lights and chime systems on a reader’s new Mazda. “Hi Brian, I found your column starting with a letter from ‘Mazda 3 owner’ set out the same problem I have noticed with my 2017 Mazda CX-3 which, like your other reader, I have found quite disconcerting. I have now checked out the Mazda Canada answer to your inquiry in real time on the vehicle. Although the information in the reply is accurate, I would suggest that Mazda should enhance the warnings better, or make sure that the vehicle cannot move when the engine is stopped while the transmission is at ‘D’ or ‘N.’ The orange light on the start button seems to be there more because the ACC mode is on than as a warning (the radio continues to play). The red security indicator light does indeed flash, but is very small (inconspicuous to me), and for some people might be hidden by the adjustable steering wheel. The beeping sound when the door is opened does happen, but does not click in my brain that it is beeping because

the car is not in ‘P’ or that it is a warning that the car is rolling backward (or forward). Maybe a klaxon horn should sound. I will be taking a copy of your column and this email to my Mazda dealer in the near future for their comment. Thanks for your attention to details like this. I always read your column when it is in the paper.” Best regards David “Hello Brian, Just riding with a friend in a relatively new (‘14 or ‘15) Mazda CX5 and noticed that there was a red ‘spanner’ lit up on the dash (lower right area on the speedometer dial). When I mentioned it, she said that it was OK, because she knew it was telling her to have an oil change and it comes up on a timed basis. When I suggested that it might be her oil life monitor, she also pointed out that according to the sticker in the windshield, she wasn’t due for an oil change for a while yet. I didn’t check the date. Not sure if you may be familiar with this warning? I know that most ‘oil life monitors’ don’t really check the condition of the oil/additives. That’s why they will not warn you if

you have a coolant leak, for example, other than the effects of the high internal temps. I believe they start with a theoretical max life, then subtract kilometres based on running time, number of starts, ambient temps, engine temps, time and probably 10 more factors. Guess I should pursue this a bit and suggest that an early oil change may be cheap insurance, even if it may be that the last servicing tech did not reset the ‘mileage meter’ and it’s actually indicating time for her last oil change? Another subject — as the first-time owner of a vehicle with a tire pressure monitoring system, I have a question. When I have a tire rotation done, can I expect that the shop will take the time to tell the computer which tire is now on which end/side of the vehicle as part of the service? Or do they expect me to do it or pay them extra to do it? 'Looks like a two-page procedure in the

Life leads us on down many paths. I have had the privilege to work with the late Hal Botham at CJET Radio, which was a wonderful teaching experience to see his example of community and what service to your community means. From there I worked over thirty years in the Ontario Public Service. Again with emphasize on service. My life has been blessed many opportunities to rub shoulders with wonderful people, some well-known, others who would consider themselves to be just ordinary but often extraordinary. Each person makes the world a wonderful and special place by what they offer to the world. I have spent many years being part of my community, in various capacities, but learned that Service plus Sincerity equals Satisfaction. It is my honor to join Mike, Ashley and all the rest of the team at Smiths Falls Kia. Remember behind every successful person is a very surprised Mother-in-Law. See you soon. 171 Lombard Street, Smiths Falls Ontario K7A 5B8

Champions for Kids golf tournament raises $30,000 The 2017 Champions for Kids Foundation (C4K) Golf Tournament has raised about $30,000 to help area youth. Nearly 80 golfers took to the links at the Smuggler’s Glen Golf Course near Gananoque on July 6, enjoying 18 holes of golf; a prime rib dinner; and a silent and live auction, featuring a variety of items ranging from a signed Craig Anderson Senators’ jersey to hotel stays. Their participation, as well as tournament sponsorships from a number of area businesses, helped generate the total. “We are extremely pleased with the support we received this year from players, as well as the many businesses that came together to help make our tournament a success,” said C4K president David Morrison on Friday, July 7. “The money raised will help us provide a bridge for families to help them cross through hard times and improve the childhood experience for their children.” The winning team at this year’s tournament was the foursome of Ray Lumsden, Kevin Beattie, Keith Fraser and Bill Lumsden. The team shot 15-under to take this year’s event.

The tournament, held at Smuggler’s Glen Golf Course near Gananoque, raised $30,000 for the foundation. C4K is a charity formed in January 2008 to discreetly help level the playing field for Upper Canada District School Board children and their families. Although the charity’s main focus is to assist families in allowing their children to participate in sports, arts and other fun activities outside of school hours,
it also meets unique needs like covering minor medical expenses (i.e. eyeglasses), providing gas cards to parents with a child in the hospital, or purchasing a winter coat for a child who needs warmth. All assistance is kept confidential. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board

on all the other routine maintenance items. As to tire pressure monitoring systems, a tire rotation won’t affect their performance, as all factory systems have the capability of recognizing each tire’s position by proximity to the signal receiver.

ments in the tri-county area. The public are encouraged to view summary inspection information over a period of time to get a better idea of ongoing compliance, rather than reviewing only a single report. INSIGHT includes summary inspection reports from 2016 and 2017. New reports will be posted on an ongoing basis. Any reports from inspections completed before 2016 or full reports can still be obtained
by using the previous process which is outlined on the health unit’s food safety page on the website. The INSIGHT database provides information only and is not an endorsement of any business. To access the summaries, visit the health unit website at www.healthunit.org and select the food safety page. Click the INSIGHT button and type in the name of the establishment you would like to review.
On the same day, you can also catch the Nokia Charity Automotive Show at 600 March Rd. in Kanata (entrance on Legget Drive). All types of vehicles are welcome — new, old, classics, tuners, imports, domestic, trucks, Jeeps, cars, bikes, etc. If it’s got a motor, bring it over. On Sunday, July 16, the Golden Gears Car Club lands its Fly-In Car Show at the Iroquois Airport from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum has its annual Classic Car Show from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2940 Old Montreal Rd. in Cumber-

CDSBEO schools receive eco schools certification The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario has been recognized by the environmental commissioner of Ontario for its successful participation in the Ontario EcoSchools certification program. This year, 40 Eastern Ontario Catholic schools achieved EcoSchools certification, which represents a full school year of learning and action that nurtures environmental leadership and reduces the ecological impact of schools. The board is just two schools away from complete certification. In her letter to the board, Environmental Commissioner Dianne Saxe notes, “While the next generation faces the challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation, they can also expect promising careers in the growing green sector. Equipping young people with the skills and motivation to face both these issues and opportunities is one of the most important tasks of our public education system.” Schools may apply to be certified as an EcoSchool through an annual certification process which assesses and recognizes accomplishments awarding points in key areas of achievement. Schools receive points for six areas of consideration which must be complete to obtain an EcoSchools certification. These six areas include: teamwork and leadership, energy conservation, waste minimization, school ground greening, curriculum connections to the environment and environmental stewardship. Some examples of activities which contribute to EcoSchools certification include: planting trees, growing plants, creating school gardens, garbage cleanup, composting and recycling projects. Director of education, Wm. J. Gartland noted that the program is a great opportunity for students to learn a myriad of skills. “Participating in the EcoSchools program gives students the opportunity not only to contribute to bettering the environment, but also to learn about the environment through integrated curriculum,” he said. “Students are also given the opportunity to build connections with other students, staff and community members through the formation of EcoTeams, which offer endless opportunities for leadership, idea sharing, and collaboration.” Schools from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario first began applying to become certified in 2009. That year, three elementary and three secondary schools became certified. Since then, applications from the board have grown exponentially each year.

Nancy Lee Oldfield 73 passed away at her daughter and son-in-laws home on July 4th 2017 in Clearwater FL USA. Nancy was the daughter of Arnold and Marion Cavanaugh and siblings Jack Cavanaugh, Bob Cavanaugh and Marie Elliot (Cavanaugh). Nancy was born and educated in Smiths Falls, Ontario and worked for G.E Electric with a love for radio and television. Love brought her to the United States in 1963 with her then husband Allen M. Oldfield. She was the beloved mother to Alena Lee Oldfield Watts and to her son in law Jerry Watts. Nancy was the loving Nana to Joshua Lindemann her only grandson who she adored. Nancy’s happiest days were when she was involved with the American Paint Horse business along with her daughter which took her on travels all over the United States and where she met some of her dearest friends. In her retired years she gave a lot of her time and herself. Nancy was involved with the Episcopal Church and volunteer at the affiliated Thrift store. She loved people and gave to others effortlessly. One of her favourite quotes described her beautifully, “Stop asking yourself what you want, what you desire, what interests you. Ask yourself instead: What has been given to me? Ask: What do I have to give back and then give it”. Her daily goal was to help or to do something for someone else that cannot do for themselves. Her memorial service will be held: Holy Trinity Episcopal Church 3200 Mc Mullen Booth Rd, Clearwater FL 33761 Saturday July 15th 4:00PM EST. Contribution in memory are appreciated to Hospice.

McLEAN Ronald (Krakee) My Dad: – What to say about a man that gave me more than I could ever give him. He saw me at my worse and I saw him at his, yet still, at the end he sat me down and asked “are you going to be all right?” Even when he and I knew he had no more to give me. I have never met a more selfless man. I will keep the lessons you taught me of loyalty, courage, strength, forgiveness and selflessness forever and pass these traits on to “the girls”, for that is the legacy you have left for me. Forever I will be “Krakee’s” son. Taylor (T.J.) McLean My Husband: – He has been gone for one year now and I still miss him desperately. His humour, his kindness and ability to see the best in people are traits I can only strive to copy. He made me a better person. I miss him so much but I smile at each memory he left me to remember.

Recognizing youth addiction can be tough by christine peets
Summer is a great time for kids to relax, spend more time with their friends and discover new surroundings and new activities. Sometimes those surroundings and activities are not always the healthiest for them, and can lead to trouble. That could be or lead to an addiction problem, and recognizing and understanding that can be tough for parents. “Before they go looking for that trouble, or jump to any conclusions, parents have to look at why kids might try drugs or alcohol in the first place,� said Mike Beauchesne, executive director of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, which provides counselling and treatment services for youth ages 13-21 and their families. The centre is based in Ottawa but works with youth from all over Ontario. There are residential facilities in Carp for young women and in Carleton Place for young men. “It's important to encourage parents to look beyond normal adolescent development because some of the signs of a youth developing an addiction might be similar,� Beauchesne said. “It can't be looked at in isolation.� Some of the “red flags� to look for include feelings of depression that go on for more than a couple of weeks, any signs of wanting to decrease pain, wanting something to help them relax or feel less anxious. Kids may be feeling bored or lonely, so they are looking for a peer group and a sense of wanting to belong. They may be feeling a little rebellious, or want to stand out. They may just be curious about the effects of drugs or alcohol, especially if they know others who have or who are trying these substances. Parents may have a little more time themselves in the summer, working shorter hours or being able to take some holiday time, so they may be able to monitor their kids' time a little more, Beauchesne said. Has there been a change in their peer group, or are they outside of a social circle and spending more time alone? Are they missing school — either sleeping in and arriving late, or skipping out early? Has there been a loss of inter-
est in activities: sports, music, or other activities? Has there been a drop in their marks, either suddenly, or are you noticing a gradual dropping off in their marks? “Taken in isolation, none of these may be an issue, but if parents notice that these kinds of things are happening, then maybe it's time they talk to their young person,� he added. Other clues might be changes in eating and sleeping habits, sudden weight gain or weight loss, clothing smelling of smoke or alcohol, and if they have and ''drug paraphernalia'' such as lighters, papers, unknown baggies, etc. So, how do parents approach this issue? Reaching out in a context of love and support is important, as is proper timing. Parents also have to be prepared and know what treatment options are available in their area, starting with the family doctor and local mental health care providers. A family friend, a child's teacher or coach, or depending on the family's belief system, a clergy member, may be able to provide support and resources for help. “Parents find it hard to acknowledge that their child has a problem and may not reach out for help for fear of being blamed or judged,� Beauchesne said. “They have to put that aside.� “They need to educate themselves as to what's available. The treatment sector is not always easy to access, so they have to be an advocate and be prepared to be involved in treatment process themselves.� Leading and learning by example to have a healthier family lifestyle is important too, and not just focus on the use, abuse or abstinence of drugs and alcohol. Taking advantage of school and work breaks to play a new sport together, do some travelling — even just for day trips — and spending time together as a family may be all that's needed. Remember what Dorothy said at the end of The Wizard of Oz, that if she “couldn't find her heart's content in her own backyard, then perhaps it was never lost it in the first place.� Christine Peets is the Writer in Residence for the Upper Canada District School Board parent involvement committee (UCDSB-PIC)

Bernard Slade’s daughter recalls 'Same Time, Next Year' success Los Angeles writer Laurie Newbound remembers well the sensational buzz that accompanied the Broadway premiere of her Canadian father Bernard Slade’s legendary hit comedy, Same Time, Next Year (which is currently playing to much enthusiastic applause until July 16 at the Classic Theatre Festival, 54 Beckwith St. E., Perth.) Speaking by phone from L.A., Newbound, who in 1975 was a student at Sarah Lawrence, says “it was just
electric. The response at that time was incredible,” as a four-block-long lineup outside the Brooks Atkinson Theatre the day after opening night signalled the start of a three-year run on Broadway. “When I saw the musical Hamilton, it reminded me of a small handful of plays I’ve attended, like my father’s play, where it really felt like an event, where the audience was really excited to be there.” Newbound recalls her fa-
ther wrote Same Time, Next Year very quickly following a weekend getaway that Slade enjoyed with his wife, Jill Foster (who was born Florence Hancock). He had been inspired by the beautiful, rustic surroundings of a cottage in Mendocino, Calif., and thought it was the perfect location for a romantic comedy which, in this case, is about two people (George and Doris) who gather there annually for a weekend despite being married to other people.

“Doris to me is such a remembrance of my mother,” Newbound says. “That character is so like my mother. I always loved it for that.” Slade himself wrote, “There is a great deal of Jill in Doris, as there is in most of the women I write. During an intermission of a performance in Boston, a woman archly asked Jill, ‘Which one are you, the mistress or the wife?’ Jill said, ‘I’m both.’” Newbound says she has not seen the play in 15 years, but that she did take her kids to see it in New Haven, and it continues to enjoy cross-generational appeal. She grew up in Hollywood, attending school with the daughters of Gregory Peck and Lloyd Bridges, among other actors, and began a career in television working as a script assistant on the program Barney Miller. She recalls Slade being unhappy during the last four or five years of writing for television, when he was cranking out scripts for everything from Bewitched (which featured Jill in the role of Darrin Stevens’ secretary, Betty) and The Flying Nun to The Partridge Family (the latter two were series he actually created as well). As many writers lamented at the time, there was only so much
character and plot development that could be squeezed into 22 minutes, sandwiched among commercials for antacids and toilet tissue. “I even remember as a kid asking why television isn't better,” she laughs, noting that most viewers are now enjoying a golden age of TV shows with great variety and depth. “The Partridge Family was adorable,” she admits, noting that Susan Dey’s character, Laurie, was named for her, and Newbound’s first boyfriend Keith earned a certain notoriety as the namesake for the David Cassidy role. “My dad had an unusual style when it came to writing,” Newbound recalls. “He wrote longhand and he liked writing with people around. He would write around the pool or with the TV on. Our family life was going on and he would be writing on his yellow pad, he didn't even have an office at home. It was never like, ‘Shhhh, your dad is writing.’” While their family was part of a large Canadian diaspora that migrated to Hollywood in the 1960s, Newbound says her parents never had a strong sense of national identity. “He felt like his country was the theatre. The collegial atmo-
sphere of being with other actors and directors and producers in that world, that is where he found his sense of family and belonging.” Slade is now 87, and sadly lost his lifelong spouse Jill this past spring. Newbound currently writes a blog called the Panini Press (www.thepaninipress.net) that details what it is like to be squeezed between the concerns of aging parents and maturing children. “It's such a common story, but in a weird way it’s almost untold,” she says. The Classic Theatre Festival production of Same Time, Next Year, which has generated much buzz among audiences and theatre reviewers, closes on Sunday, July 16, followed by the opening of George Bernard Shaw’s comedy Candida on July 21, and the mystery thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight on Aug. 18. The theatrical historic walking plays Perth through the Ages and The Lonely Ghosts Walk continue to run seven times weekly as well through the end of August.

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!

Start by acknowledging Many of us don’t like chatting about our your own emotional relationship with money and understand that finances finances. A 2014 study* asked people trigger different feelings in others. what their most difficult conversation would be and 44 percent said personal It helps to have a goal in mind about finances. what you want the talk to accomplish, and to start conversations about money But this silence around money with professionals that you have no encourages people to remain uninformed about financial options and emotional connection with before strategies and to hide resulting financial sharing financial feelings with loved errors. Plus, we seldom know what our ones. loved ones think about money, and misunderstandings fester when we don’t communicate. Studies have also shown that keeping secrets, whether financial or not, can result in stress, anxiety and even depression. Yet, despite plenty of good reasons to open up, people find that money is a difficult topic to discuss because it often comes with an emotional attachment. Take financial planning. Yes, the technical details can be complex but it also requires people to think about aging and their own mortality and the risk of financial loss or a family’s financial stability when poor investment choices are made. As with other hard-to-discuss topics, it’s often easier to stay quiet than to admit that you’re deep in debt or have another money-related problem. But studies show that talking about money can reduce feelings of financial stress and help you make better money decisions**. Of course, talking is easier said than
A great way to start your “money” conversation is by talking to your professional advisor who can provide the financial knowledge and planning that will reduce stress and emotion and make it easier to communicate your financial goals, dreams and concerns with others. *http://www.reuters.com/article/ us-money-conversationidUSBREA2Q1UN20140327 **https://www.psychologytoday.com/ blog/in-therapy/201606/talking-aboutmoney This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Portable StopGap accessibility ramps come to Carleton Place BY TARA GESNER
Not only does the ramp provide accessibility, “we have a lot of strollers coming in and out of our store,” Morris continued. “It goes back to inclusion ... inclusion for all people,” Earle said.
tgesner@metroland.com
Myrna Pears had never been inside Little Loves Co. in downtown Carleton Place — until now. Pears, a member of Carleton Place’s accessibility advisory committee, uses a wheelchair and more often than not, a single step, like the one outside 165 Bridge St., prevents her from venturing into a store, restaurant, etc. “I would be more than happy to shop in Carleton Place, but I cannot get into a lot of places,” she told the Canadian Gazette. On July 5, Pears looked on as Little Loves Co. was officially recognized as the first recipient of a StopGap ramp. She even tested the bright yellow ramp out, rolling into the store. “With this I can shop here, and I prefer to stay in town,” Pears said. Others in attendance on Wednesday were: Kory Earle, Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and Marv Whalen, all members of the accessibility advisory committee; Little Loves Co. owner Melissa Morris; municipal clerk Duncan Rogers; Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce office manager Jackie Kavanagh; and Downtown Carleton Place office support Kate Murray. “On behalf of the town’s accessibility advisory committee, congratulations to Little Loves Co. for being the first business to have a StopGap ramp,” Earle said.

Carleton Place couple donates trike to Bike Share program BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place’s new Bike Share program is now more accessible, owing to a local couple’s act of kindness. On July 10, Pete and Gail Rean donated an adult Schwinn Meridian trike to the town, with Pete presenting mayor Louis Antonakos and Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce office manager Jackie Kavanagh with the wheels. The trike, not even a year old, belonged to Gail, but because of arthritis she rode it only a handful of times. “And I have one just like it at home,” Pete said. He told the Canadian Gazette, the decision was made to give the trike to the municipality because it would make the Bike Share program ac-
cessible to seniors, to people with limitations. Everyone would have an opportunity to discover the joy of cycling. Antonakos presented Pete with a Carleton Place goodie bag, which was put together by the chamber. “There is a hat, some maple syrup and other items,” the mayor said. “It is a small token of appreciation for your generosity.” The town launched its Bike Share program in May, with four cruiser bikes available to locals and tourists for short day trips in exchange for a modest rental fee – $5. All bikes come with a lock, and there are at least 18 bike racks around Carleton Place. A fifth bike is reserved as a replacement should one of the other four require servicing. The Bike Share program,
developed by Kavanagh and Amanda Charania, the town’s communications coordinator, is delivered under the town’s insurance policy. Although the four bikes are stored in a rack outside the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce and Information Centre, located at 170 Bridge St., the trike will remain indoors. “The Bike Share program has been very successful thus far,” Kavanagh said. “We have brought in $100.” Antonakos thought the amount was impressive, given the unseasonable weather and the program’s late start. The donated trike is available immediately to rent. Information centre staff administer the Bike Share program. A similar program is offered in Mississippi Mills.
Labour pains: Lake Avenue East reconstruction began July 11 Reconstruction work on Lake Avenue in Carleton Place will commence on Tuesday, July 11. Lake Avenue East will be closed to through traffic from Bridge Street to Argyle Street until late August. Businesses in this corridor will remain open and accessible throughout the project. The intersection of Lake Avenue and Bridge Street will be closed the week of July 17 to July 21. Alternate routes will be posted throughout the
duration of this project. Together, Cavanagh Construction and the Town of Carleton Place would like to ask for your help in ensuring safe and efficient work zones. We would like to encourage residents to avoid the construction zones. However, should residents be travelling within the construction zones, we urge you to proceed with caution and follow the directions provided by the traffic control persons and posted construction signage.

First ever Indian restaurant opens doors in downtown Carleton Place BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
In Carleton Place there is no established Indian restaurant – until now. Sagar Indian Cuisine, located at 156 Bridge St., officially opened its doors on July 11, owned and operated by Arnprior’s Ummed Singh and his family: wife Lakshmi Devi, son Vikas Singh and daughter Monika Singh. The restaurant, offering exotic Indian cuisine for a variety of foodies, presents eat-in and takeout options, as well as catering. Hours of operation: Monday to Sunday, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for lunch and 4:30 to 9 p.m. for dinner. Ummed told the Canadian Gazette on July 10, during a soft opening, he chose Carleton Place because he loved the location. He is the former owner of Negi Indian Cuisine in Arnprior. The gathering on Monday featured food tasting and a ribbon cutting ceremony, and many attended, including mayor Louis Antonakos, Coun. Sean Redmond, Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce office manager Jackie Kavanagh and Downtown Carleton Place board chair Mark Lovell, as well as family, friends and business and community leaders. “On behalf of the Town of

Sagar Indian Cuisine, located at 156 Bridge St., officially opened its doors on July 11, owned and operated by Arnprior’s Ummed Singh and his family. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held a day earlier, which was attended by mayor Louis Antonakos and Coun. Sean Redmond, family, friends and representatives from Downtown Carleton Place and Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce. Carleton Place and all the businesses and all the residents, we would like to welcome you and your beautiful wife and children to Carleton Place, as well as your (extended) family and
friends,” Antonakos said. He offered the Singh family “best wishes” and “all the success any new person in town deserves.” “We are a growing communi-
ty,” the mayor continued. “You picked a really good town to come to, and I know you will be successful.” “Thank you for your welcome,” Ummed said.
road.” Flynn pointed out The Owl Café and Meeting Place in downtown Carleton Place was ahead of the game, having its own accessible ramp for some time. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) includes requirements all levels of government, nonprofits, and private sector businesses in Ontario must meet, with deadlines specific to an organization’s type and size. The AODA is made up of five standards: customer service; information and communication; employment; transportation; and
design of public spaces. Deadlines for compliance began Jan. 1, 2010. The goal is to have an accessible Ontario by 2025. “Physical access is still not enforced ... not until 2025, I think,” Kavanagh said. “Right now, it is more about customer service standards, identifying when people need special help and how you can help.” “We should not have to wait until 2025 to make progress,” Earle said. United Way Lanark County has been working on accessibility, and the organization quickly jumped on board with the Stop-
Gap initiative, helping to promote it. “They have Amy Elsner (AODA partnership co-ordinator) working with them,” Kavanagh noted. “The mandate of her job is to go around and talk to businesses about meeting the legislative requirements around accessibility and how she can help them do that.” Earle acknowledged his fellow accessibility committee members for their hard work and support. To inquire about StopGap ramps in Carleton Place, contact Downtown Carleton Place on 613-257-8049.

Ummed came to Canada in 2007, living in Cambridge, Mississauga, Oakville and Arnprior. Not new to the restaurant industry, he worked eight years in India and three years in Oman. “I do all the cooking,” Ummed stated. Sagar Indian Cuisine is a licensed venue, serving wine, beer, coolers and liquor. The menu offers a wide range of dishes, including rice, vegetarian and non-vegetarian specialties, along with Tandoori breads and desserts, just to name a few. Signature meals: Chicken Pakoda, Chicken Jalfrezi and Samosa Chat. Chicken Pakoda is a deep fried chicken fillet in gram flour batter, and it is served with mint sauce. Samosa Chat is a pastry stuffed with spiced potatoes and green peas, and it is served with chickpeas, curry yogurt and tamarind sauce. Lastly, Chicken Jalfrezi is a flavourful curry with chunks of chicken in a spicy tomato sauce, along
with stir-fried peppers and onions. “Fantastic!” Redmond said, when asked about the food served on July 10. “I love Indian food to start with.” “We are fortunate to have them opening in Carleton Place,” he continued, and “it gives us more dining choices.” Lovell is very excited with the opening of Sagar Indian Cuisine. “I also like Indian food,” he said, and “the family is very welcoming.” According to a friend of the Singh family: “People can expect good food and good service. Come and try it. You will like it.” She added, “They are good people, a nice family and they look after their customers.” For more information about Sagar Indian Cuisine, call 613-492-1333 or 613-492-1444, or email info@sagarindiancuisine. ca. “We are also on Facebook (search Sagar Indian Cuisine),” Ummed said.

YARD OF THE WEEK
The Yard of the Week is a large Marigold Hat that was planted in Pakenham, near the Pakenham Five Span Bridge. The attractive and bright hat is intended to help celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday on July 1, as well as attract pollinators to the park in which it is located. The Marigold Hat was created and maintained by the Pakenham Horticultural Society. Volunteers from the garden club volunteered their time and inspiration to plant the wonderful addition to the park. Many thanks to Toby Barratt, Jill Moxley, and Fern Martin, as well as Mississippi Mills Summer Students Brianna McIntyre and Jake Perkins. You can find the hat at the corner of the Kinburn Side Road and County Road 29.
First ever three-day country music festival in Beckwith August long weekend BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The Goodwood Festival is Beckwith’s inaugural outdoor country music event, being held at Beckwith Park over the August long weekend, Aug. 4-6. Country music lovers have been craving an event like this since the demise of the popular Riverside Jam in neighbouring Carleton Place. Reeve Richard Kidd told the Canadian Gazette: “Beckwith has been talking with different people for years about doing this ... Jamie McMunn, John Bowes and Lori Cavanagh.” “To tell you the truth, we even talked about it with Jamie’s dad,” the late Ron McMunn, he continued. Ron, nicknamed “The Silver Fox”, was well-known across the area for his music. He was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1986. Ron passed away in July 2007. “However, it was the passing of Jamie’s brother (and music partner) Jeff McMunn (last December) when we said we had to do this now ... we wanted to make it happen,” Kidd said. Groundwork for the festival started with Kidd, Jamie, John and Beckwith’s clerk/administrator Cassandra McGregor. The foursome then brought in Jim Simpson, Judi Moffatt and Bob White.
room facilities. Day passes are as follows: Friday, $20; Saturday, $30; and Sunday, $15. All prices include HST. Beckwith Park’s baseball diamond is the place where the stage will be set up, in the area of the pitcher’s mound. The outfield area is the location of the beer garden as well as the various food vendors. “Because of the fencing already in place, we do not need to rent a lot of fencing for the licensed area,” Kidd said. He noted the stage would face the arena, and “do not forget to bring Tara Gesner/Metroland your lawn chair." The Goodwood Festival is Beckwith’s inaugural outdoor country music event, being held at Beckwith Park “We want this to be an annual over the August long weekend, Aug. 4-6. event,” the reeve continued, and “I am sure it will grow, and I know there will “We took it (plan) to council in Dan Paul Rogers at 8:30 p.m. and Roch Lafleur, Brad Scott and Mau- be changes." early March,” the reeve said. “Council Brea Lawrenson at 9:50 p.m. reen Young. thought it was a great idea.” On Sunday, festivalgoers are treatTickets — cash only — for the Festival name ed to a gospel hour with The Bowes Goodwood Festival are available at Goodwood is an old pioneer name, Musicians Brothers, beginning at 11 a.m. the following locations: Beckwith which is why the festival’s organizing The organizing group worked hard “There is a talent showcase at municipal office, 1702 9th Line; Gra- committee chose it. to produce a stellar performance line- noon,” Kidd noted. “We are high- ham’s Shoes in Carleton Place, 139 The Jock River, which goes through up. lighting young entertainers.” Bridge St.; SRC Music in Carleton Beckwith, was called Goodwood RivFestivities begin on Friday night “These are performers who were Place, 124 Moore St.; Mark’s Cobbler er at one time, according to Kidd. at 7 p.m. with The Ryans taking the invited by us,” he continued. “One of Shop in Perth, 98 Gore St. E.; Nai“What is left now is Goodwood stage.

Have fun at the 159th Almonte Fair this weekend, Aug. 14-16 BY STAFF
Summer is here, which can only mean one thing – it is time for the Almonte Fair – the 159th. Beginning Friday and running through Sunday, Aug. 14-16, the 2017 fair will welcome thousands of visitors to Mississippi Mills for some good old-fashioned family fun. The theme this year is “Oh Canada: 150 Years.” The North Lanark Agricultural Society (NLAS) owns the fairgrounds, which are located at 195 Water St., on the banks of the Mississippi River. Each year, fair organizers work hard to bring exciting and educational shows geared to all ages, as well as shows dedicated to preserving the area’s rural roots. With an abundance of things to see and do this weekend, the fair boasts the usual favourites – Carter Shows’
midway, demolition derby, wrestling, live music, exhibits, concessions and vendors. Gates are open on Friday from 4 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission rates: Adults (13 years and over), $10 for a daily pass or $20 for a weekend pass; and children (12 and under), free. After 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday night, a $5 cover charge will apply for entrance to the beer tent. Everyone entering the fairgrounds will be given a wristband that must be worn while on site. There will be a new colour of wristband each day. Midway ride coupons are $1 each or 30 for $25. Rides require three to five tickets per person. All riders require tickets or a bracelet ($30), which is good for one day of unlimited rides. The midway runs Friday from 4 to 11 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11
p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Note: Carter Shows’ ticket booths accept cash only, as well as midway games and food booths. Friday Activities on Friday are plentiful: Kidz Zone, blacksmith demonstration, midway, Little Ray’s Reptile Show, entertainment pavilion, agriculture education and farm animal display, Team T & J Show, opening ceremonies and Classic Championship Wrestling. Later in the day, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., the Derringers Band performs at the entertainment pavilion. Saturday In addition to the midway, education barn and exhibits in the main hall, activities taking place on Saturday include Kidz Zone, gospel band,
Mills Community Support presents North Lanark Seniors’ Expo in Almonte Sept. 7 The North Lanark Seniors’ Expo returns Sept. 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for its seventh consecutive year, so mark your calendars. This popular showcase of information, services and products for people 50 and older, as well as their families and caregivers, attracted a crowd of 600+ people last year and 78 exhibitors. The expo is held at the Almonte Community Centre at 182 Bridge St., which offers plenty of parking and full accessibility. There is no charge to attend the expo. Visitors will encounter a variety of supports, products and services at the expo from exhibitors such as the Canadian National Institute of the Blind, the Canadian Hearing Society, Almonte General Hospital, Hub Hospice, CAA North & East, the Civitan Club, The Older Adult Centres' Association of Ontario (OACAO), as well as travel agencies, physiotherapists, massage therapists,
and seniors’ residences such as Waterside, Carleton Place Terrace, and Orchard View by the Mississippi. And this is just to name a few of the many different exhibitors who will be on hand. Plan to make a day of your visit to the expo. Doors open at 10 a.m. for the singing of O Canada, and the expo continues until 3 p.m. Lunch is available to purchase on site, and complimentary coffee, tea, water and snacks — sponsored by Carleton Place Terrace — are available throughout the day. Mills Community Support staff and a small army of seniors’ expo volunteers will be on hand to guide you. You may even be a lucky winner of one of the fabulous door prizes. The North Lanark Seniors’ Expo is hosted by Mills Community Support as part of its commitment to creating age-friendly communities in North Lanark.

Throwing down some smack There’s nothing like friendly competition to keep you honest … and humble. Take this upcoming media challenge for instance. While at a recent open house for the Smiths Falls Lawn Bowling Club, I was asked if I could get a team from the Record News to compete against other local media in a fun game for bragging rights. Sure, I said. Then I never thought anymore about it, until one of the ladies from the club dropped off a tournament schedule at the paper last week. “How many teams do you have for the media challenge,” she asked me, all serious-like. I was a little red-faced. “Um … how many does Lake 88 have?” I blurted. “Three!” she said. Oh great. So I have to come up with some lame excuse as to why I can’t even get three other people, much less three teams, to join me from one of the largest employers in town. But then … I hadn’t asked yet. “Put us in for four!” I boldly stated, praying I wouldn’t get stuck by lightning for lying though my teeth. “Four it is! This is going to be fun,” she said, all fired up. Lawn bowling. How can one get fired up over that, I thought, as she left the building. I turned to my colleagues in the front office. “Well girls, I have to come up with four teams to lawn bowl July 13 – who’s in?” Right away, Cheryl was on board. She was fired up! I sent out a company-wide email to entice my coworkers to join me in some free fun by trying something outside their comfort zone (at least for many of us). Cheryl took it a step further by getting the company to pitch in and get us matching T-shirts – can you imagine – and some prizes to give away. The sign-up sheet outside the newsroom has a plethora of names from across the gamut: from advertising, to the mailroom, and from the newsroom to IT, and even into the production zone, and many departments in between. Yes! My Metroland Media team fully supports this cause.
LAURIE WEIR Weir View I’m so impressed. Many are fired up over lawn bowling. Who would have thought? We’re coming to throw down some smack, that’s for sure. Last count, there were 25 of us on the list. I can’t imagine what this team could do if we had an entire month to plan it out. But that’s the way of the media – always working best under deadline. See you at the lawn bowling club! Fair smack Speaking of a smack down, I’ve been surfing local fair websites for some home-craft competition. Who am I kidding? I burn water. My thing has been photography. Last year, I entered the Lombardy Fair with a few images, and that was a fun time. There were lots of great entries, not only in photography, but also in flower arranging, preserving and quilting/knitting/crocheting. That fair is coming up at the end of the month, so now is the Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland time to start working on those entries if you haven’t already. Mom helped me last weekend sort out some photos for Lansdowne Fair Above: Residents of Mississippi Mills speak to councillors Christa Lowry (second from right) and John Ed– which I used to take part in when I wards (right) following the grand opening of the new Greystone Trail in Almonte on Saturday, July 8. Below: lived in Gananoque. It’s been a while Another view of the trail. since I saw their entry form and there are more than two dozen different categories for photos. This fair takes place July 21 to 23. Impressive and exciting, to say the least. I’m fired up about that. Ha! Then there is Delta Fair – my personal favourite. I’ve been taking part in this one for many years. I started entering school projects back in the ’70s in grade school. This year, the Delta Fair is taking place July 27 to 30. It’s always fun to see the variety of photos on display with the ribbons hanging from them. Next is Merrickville. This one is stricter about entries. There is a “professional” category, which really bugs me. Apparently, if you have ever gotten paid for photography, then you’re considered a professional.

Reader questions crossing stop signals DEAR EDITOR:
I would have to question the wisdom of installing crossing stop signals in the middle of Bay Hill in Almonte. County Road 49 is a major heavy truck route through Almonte and sees trucks of various sizes and weights rolling through town. A 60-ton tractor trailer coming down the hill will have trouble stopping on bare pavement let alone pavement with an inch or two of snow on it. Those going up the hill and having to stop will impede traffic across town as they inch up the incline. Again, with a little snow, you will probably have the road blocked. I have witnessed children “playing” with the lights. Skipping across the street, just to turn and go back again. Local truckers are aware of the signals and can prepare for them. Out of town heavyweights may not be and it’s a disaster waiting to happen. I would suggest that parents warn their children to have a look up the hill before they press the walk button!
OPP deal with more than 300 incidents during past week The Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to 337 calls for service over the past week. There were 30 motor vehicle collisions reported to Lanark County OPP; nine involving deer and two resulting in personal injury. Police investigated seven domestic related occurrences during the past week. Criminal charges resulted in two of these investi-
gations. One where a female is charged with uttering threats and during another incident, a male was charged with assault, uttering threats and fail to comply with recognizance. Break-ins On June 26, 2017 police received a report that a residence was broken into on McLachlin Road, Montague Township. The resi-
dence was entered and electronics and jewelry were taken. An orange Kubota tractor model # L3400 serial #74389 with a front loader serial #B5888 was taken from the garage. On June 28, 2017 police received a report of a break and enter to a residence on Georgina Street, Drummond North Elmsley Township, where jewelry was taken. On June 30, 2017 a break-in was
reported to police about a seasonal residence on Lammermoor Road, Lanark Highlands Township. The break in occurred between June 17 and June 26, 2017. Tools, electronics and alcohol were taken. On July 1, 2017 police received a report of an overnight break and enter to the Canadian Tire Gas Bar on Bridge Street, Carleton Place. A large quantity of cigarettes was taken. The investigation is continuing.

the plating is starting to work loose in the wheel tracks.” He added: “Material that provides support for this plating is also deteriorating. The work will require the removal of the steel plating, and the supporting material (concrete) needs to be replaced and new sections of steel plating welded in place.” It is not the complete deck, it is just simply to get those repairs done until the complete project can be looked at.” “The noise is getting louder by the week,” Redmond said. Coun. Doug Black asked about cost. “There is a ballpark figure of around $25,000,” Young answered. A start date for the repairs is not known at this time. Other problems Central Bridge requires a costly rehabilitation, with the town applying three times for Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund monies. All requests have been unsuccessful. According to chief administrative officer Paul Knowles, the railing of Central Bridge needs to be strengthened. It does not meet the current standards.

Late Mississippi Mills Coun. Bernard Cameron always wanted to see a fountain in Almonte along the Mississippi River. That dream is now being realized. Council approved the purchase and installation of a decorative fountain during its June 27 meeting to pay tribute to their fallen colleague. The cost for the purchase and installation of the fountain is expected to be $12,000, which will come from reserves. For the past several months, Mayor Shaun McLaughlin and Coun. Denzil Ferguson have been working with Cameron’s widow Catherine and his family on the project and “we’re pretty much there,” McLaughlin noted June 27. The selected location, 45 feet wide by 60 feet deep, is along the side channel of the river, running between the Almonte Old Town Hall and Thoburn Mill, the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail and Riverwalk bridges. “It’s a nice square space and if we put it there, Bernard’s widow can see it from her window,” McLaughlin said. “Bernard always wanted a fountain in town and Catherine’s quite happy about it.” Ferguson indicated the channel was chosen as the flow of the river is too fast for a fountain to be placed there. “It’s a floating apparatus and the current is too strong,” McLaughlin remarked. McLaughlin brought a report to the meeting, noting that there are two fountain examples from Canadian suppliers being explored – a 2-hp tulip design from arbrux.com ($8,827, including the foun-

Bernard Cameron tain, lights, cords, but excluding installation) or a 2-hp Kasco fountain with multiple jets ($5,630 with lights an additional $2,177 to $3,294). Both would operate with a floating submersible pump with optional lights, held in place by two ropes anchored to the riverbed and powered by a 230volt line. That line would run from the town hall to the water’s edge and the cost of it is not yet known. “The fountain should have a high central geyser and several side sprays for esthetic quality,” McLaughlin stated in his report. “Given the limits of the location, the diameter/width of the spray should not exceed 20 feet. The height should be 16 to 18 feet (higher than the OVRT bridge).” “The tulip design fits the location best,” he added. With the placement of the fountain, Ferguson said the size and height are restrictive. “We have to be very careful we don’t extend the spray up on the OVRT or someone else’s property,” he stressed. The plan is to have the fountain installed this summer to coincide with work Enerdu is
planning. “When Enerdu de-waters that channel, there’s an opportunity for us to deepen that spot, put in bolts and secure the fountain,” McLaughlin explained. “If we put the tender out quickly, then we can actually do it in August.” “Once the channel is dewatered, we will have a significant idea as to how we can do this and they’re (Enerdu) more than prepared to do it for us,” added Ferguson. For installation of either unit, guides are available through the manufacturers and McLaughlin said it appears straightforward once the power source is in place. Coun. Val Wilkinson wondered what would be included in the tender. “It has to go out to tender and we’ll put what we want the thing to look like…we’ll put the dimensions in the tender and we’ll get what we want,” McLaughlin stated. Council members were pleased to endorse the project as a way to memorialize Cameron. “I think this is going to be a really nice memorial fountain,” said Coun. Jane Torrance. “I’m glad you came up with this for us.” “I’d like to thank you (McLaughlin and Ferguson) and commend you on your leadership on this one,” commented Coun. Christa Lowry. “It’s certainly a very meaningful gesture to the family and it feels like the right thing for us to be doing at this point.” The fountain would need to be removed from the river in the fall of each year to be stored until spring. Plans are to affix a plaque in Cameron’s memory to the fountain as well.

Put Yourself in the Picture campaign Since launching in May, hundreds of Hospital and Manor supporters have ‘put themselves in the picture’ to support new diagnostic imaging equipment at the AGH. Recently members of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper chapter from Carleton Place came to AGH to present more than $4,000 towards the campaign. While at the Hospital, Manager of Diagnostic Imaging Candice Munro showed the ladies the new digital equipment. As a way of honouring their parents, Bert and Dorothy Lowry, siblings Mary, Keith and Allan met with Foundation Managing Director Al Roberts recently and presented him with a wonderful gift towards the campaign. The Lowrys were married 62 years before Dorothy passed away in 2013. Bert passed this year in March, just three weeks shy of his 90th birthday. The younger Lowrys ‘put themselves in the picture’ to honour their parents and thank the Hospital for the wonderful care provided over the years.

Song Cycle Street Party to transform Almonte with music, cycling and food Grab your helmet — Ottawa Chamberfest is taking opera on the road, carrying the spirit of Ottawa’s communities and a taste of Chamberfest. The 2017 edition of the festival will launch with the Song Cycle Street Party, a weekendlong community celebration celebrating both art and sport — opera and cycling, travelling through Ottawa, Carp, Blakeney and Almonte July 22 to 23. The event is a partnership between Ottawa Chamberfest, the Bicycle Opera Project, and the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, alongside several other local organizations and institutions, including Almonte in Concert, Canada Science and Technology Museum, Carp Farmers’ Market, Mills
Community Support’s Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens, Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and Tweed Ride Almonte. The organizations will welcome their patrons, members and cycling enthusiasts alike for a four-hour bike ride from Ottawa to Almonte alongside the world-class opera performers that make up the Bicycle Opera Project. “We’re thrilled to create an opportunity for locals and festival attendees to join in and celebrate opera, while enjoying one of this community’s favourite summer activities — cycling!” said Chamberfest artistic director Roman Borys. Participants will make stops in Carp and Blakeney and receive a hero's welcome in
Almonte, with performances of arias and a preview of the a cappella opera Sweat performed along the way. Once in Almonte, participants will have the opportunity to hear a free performance by the Juno Award-winning Stretch Orchestra (percussionist Jesse Stewart, guitarist Kevin Breit and cellist Matt Brubeck), and take part in a potluck hosted by Mills Community Support’s Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens. Participants are encouraged to stay overnight in Almonte. The next day, there will be a staging of Sweat — an opera shedding light on the unforgiving world of a sweatshop, appropriately staged at the Mississippi Valley Textile Mu-
Reflections of the school year: proud to be a Thunderbolt by pippa norman
Award-winning plays? TEDx guest speakers? Ontario competition-level athletes? What one spot in your community can this all be found? Almonte and District High School, of course. The school year of 2016-2017 has been one to remember for the students and staff of our high school, and here’s a glimpse into why that may be. Our year began with the welcoming of a new principal, Nancy Holman, who transferred from Perth. Almonte and District High School (ADHS) also welcomed several international students this year, including five short-stay students from France and Spain, as well as four international students from China, working toward earning credit at ADHS. In turn, Almonte had two students go on short-term exchanges overseas in France. And that wasn’t the only piece of Almonte that France had the privilege of hosting this year. You didn’t think we would let Vimy Ridge head into its 100th anniversary without a few Almontonians in the mix! Our small school managed to send a group of students and two teachers on a trip to remember, as they toured the country, remembered those who fought and left a little bit of the ADHS spirit everywhere they went.
PARK IT!
Despite the “small town, small school, limited resources” stereotype often associated with ADHS, our local high school never fails to impress in the athletics department. We had two successful junior/senior football teams this year, several teams that qualified for Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association, and a track team that was represented by 10 students at Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association regionals this year. Not to mention our superb curling team that once again were provincial champions, and our breakthrough pole vaulter who finished with a ranking of 10th overall in the province. Of course, ADHS is no one-trick pony. Sure we can demolish in athletics, but you can also count on us to dazzle in the arts. Our annual theatre production left the critics rolling in the aisles from constant laughter and blowing up the Ottawa Citizen with rave reviews. Not only did Leading Ladies receive an abundance of nominations, it even managed to turn a couple of those nominations into full-blown awards, winning best “Lead Actor” and “Comedic Actor” at the annual Cappies gala (the prestigious high school equivalent of the Oscars, held at the National Arts Centre). As a small-town school,

Flood of retirements puts staffing pressure on OPP detachment BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
A hiring surge in the 1970s means that now the tide is going out, with a spike in retirements. Superintendent Craig Abrams, OPP East Region Command Staff, told a meeting in Carleton Place last month that he loses an average of 30 members per month across eastern Ontario. He called the retirement surge “a challenge for every detachment” during a presentation to the Lanark County association of police services boards (PSB) quarterly meeting, held at the Ocean Wave Fire Company’s boardroom in Carleton Place on Wednesday, June 28. “A bunch of people got hired in the 1970s, and now they are retiring,” he explained.
Wayne Drummond, a member of the Carleton Place PSB, and himself a former officer with the now-disbanded Carleton Place police department, wondered if some OPP detachments were “stealing (officers) from each other,” to fill out their thinning ranks. “That is certainly avoided, that behaviour,” said Abrams. “We don’t do that.” Carleton Place’s fire chief, Les Reynolds, noted that “we are a growing community,” and he wondered, “How do we ensure you have the right number of people (on the force)?” Abrams, somewhat jokingly, replied that “smarter people than me” at OPP headquarters in Orillia keep an eye on staffing levels at the various detachments. “There is a formula,” said Abrams, but he conceded that staffing is a
“moving target. It is not an exact science,” as it is based mostly on existing data. (Drummond said that, in his day, there was a simple formula – one officer for every 1,000 citizens.) Abrams also warned that cyber fraud “is just going to grow” in the future, with criminals “using technology to prey on people … My own family has fallen victim to it.” The police are themselves using technology to better fight crime – and push paper. More officers are using “talk-to-text” technology to file reports and take notes. “We are trying to increase our technology … with the budget we have,” said Abrams. “Internet-based crime is growing. It is coming. There will be more and more victims.”
Police costing Lanark County Warden Bill Dobson inquired about police costing, and wondered if there were “jobs police (currently) do that other (civilian) people could do … work that you do that could be given to other professions?” Abrams replied that more police forces are asking themselves the hard questions, like: “Is what we are doing truly law enforcement work? Do we need a police officer to be an analyst? Why would you train a police officer to be an analyst, where there are university graduates to do that?” He gave, as an example, mental health calls. Unless there is a risk to public safety, or the safety of the person in question, often, the police do not need to be involved. That is why Abrams commended the continued
use of the Lanark County Situation Table model. “We have seen huge results from that,” he said, which have reduced the number of calls for service, and see fewer repeat calls. Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos said that he wanted to see sustainable funding for the Situation Table. “The powers that be seem to be supporting this (concept),” said Coun. Jim Graff, chair of Perth’s PSB. “It looks like the support is there.” Availability Reynolds reminded Abrams that in the front office downstairs at the OPP detachment, there was only one staffer available to handle public inquiries – See RETIRE page A/CP16

July 21 and July 22 benefits for Carleton Place resident with lupus For most of you that know Byron Wilson from Carleton Place, he has recently had the most devastating news anyone could receive; he was diagnosed with terminal lupus. This is news none of us would like to hear. Byron has been a true outstanding hero for many of the local and surrounding area charities, and is a well-known face in Carleton Place. He has dedicated his life to helping those in need, and now it is Byron’s turn to be on the receiving end. Many of us have enjoyed his fundraising female impersonator shows (with Byron in character as Hyddie Hoe), in which all funds were donated to various chosen charities. His selfless passion and natural talent to entertain has allowed him to help others. Byron has been extremely outstanding and has done this from his heart. Byron has a dream to ride the train across Canada, and that is
one he wishes to see happen on his bucket list. A friend has started a GoFundMe to help reach the goal to set this dream in motion. I would like to ask everyone to dig deep and donate to the GoFundMe to make Byron’s dream come true. He has been a selfless, caring and giving person, and I hope you all can follow his example. Please donate and ride the rail with Byron in spirit. Visit the page at https://www. gofundme.com/send-byron-acrosscanada. Another fundraising event is also being held to reach this goal. Tickets are being sold for Extreme Fabulettes Presents Divas Live in Carleton Place — Lupus Benefit Concert for Ms. Hyddie Hoe. More than 15 iconic female impersonators and dear friends of Byron will be performing on Friday, July 21 and Saturday, July 22 at the Carleton Place Arena, 75 Neelin St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the
show starts at 8 p.m. sharp. Tickets are available at Century 21, 145 Bridge St., Carleton Place; by calling Byron at 613-315-4355; or by calling Laura Fluet at 613-913-1023. Groups of eight or more will get a reserved table in the front of the stage. This event will help to cover medical bills, equipment and housekeeping. For those not familiar with lupus, it is an unforgiving auto-immune disease that can strike at any age. Your body’s defence systems turn on you and it can cause chronic conditions lasting for years. Cases of lupus can range from relatively mild to life-threatening, so recognizing and treating this condition early is very important. Some of the symptoms
Byron Wilson
Phone: 613-256-2064 • 1-888-779-8666
are: fatigue, hair loss, increasing pain as the disease progresses, lupus-induced seizures, telltale rashes, Raynaud’s disease (which is a cardiovascular condition) and depression. Genetics can play a role, as well as exposure to chemicals — namely trichloroethylene found in well water, and silica dust (an industrial material) — and photosensitivity (UV light sensitive), to mention a few. Any infection can also cause a flare-up. In closing, I would like to say Byron has helped so many, and now it is our turn to help him. I believe with all my heart that “dreams do come true,” and with all of your support, we can make this happen. Submitted by Fran Bryerton

Making a Difference in Ashton! Everyone Welcome!
Come out for a great cup of coffee, treats and social gathering each Tuesday while supporting a great cause —all for a free-will offering!
Ashton & Community Hang-Out/Take-Out Every Tuesday! 8:00 AM—Noon at the Ashton United Church, Ashton
When the Ashton General Store closed in April of 2016, it was realized that many of the area residents were going to really miss it as their social coffee meeting place. Soon after, the Ashton United Church was asked if their back conference room could be used every Tuesday morning between 8:00 AM—Noon to have a “Community Hang-Out/Take-Out,” where the same Equator Coffee that the store offered could be served, along with cookies, sandwiches and treats — all on a free-will offering basis.
The program took off and now hosts thirty-plus guests each week! Full bacon & eggs breakfast is now being offered on the 1st Tuesday of each month with guests being spoiled the rest of the time with all kinds of baked goods, pies, soups and other goodies. Live entertainment also takes usually takes place on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday of the month with performances from various talented groups from around the area.
Each month, when the proceeds are added up, the church receives $100 for the use of its facility plus half of the proceeds with the remaining 50% directed to a local charity. On June 6th, guests were asked how many of them had used the services of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) at some point in the past. Almost 100% said that they had received treatment there as an in-patient or through the Emergency Department.
It is for that reason, and the fact that the Hospital is always there when we need it most, that it was decided to direct the discretionary portion of the monthly proceeds, until further notice, to the CPDMH Foundation.

and only three days per week, at that. “It has been a concern of the Carleton Place PSB,” said Reynolds, who added that there is a phone outside of the building where the public can access the OPP communications centre hotline. “Seventy per cent of our workforce comes back after our (OPP) office closes. We are a bedroom community of Ottawa.” Abrams said that the OPP had to
consider “a balance of efficiencies versus being available to the public.” One way in which the Carleton Place PSB is trying to accommodate the community is by anticipating when “there are spikes at certain times of the year,” for, say, background checks. In anticipation of these times, Carleton Place hosted an evening intake to accept background check applications – and more than 200 people attended. Now, they are “considering
making that a regular event,” said Reynolds. There was also talk of having a centralized, civilian group within the police department who could handle online background check applications. At this, Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier noted that there are “private enterprises that are doing background checks, (and) I’m told that the turnaround time is very quick.”
“Some private enterprises are allowed to do some, but not all (checks),” said Abrams. Mississippi Mills Coun. Denzil Ferguson reported that the RCMP has started contracting out finger-
printing. “The private sector has jumped into the fray,” said Ferguson. “The RCMP have licensed the private sector to do that. That significantly addressed that situation.”

Pakenham welcomes senior-friendly services at Stonebridge Haven In response to local consultations organized by Mills Community Support, Stonebridge Haven in Pakenham opened the Find Your Balance — Adult Day Program last fall to meet the needs of seniors wanting to stay active and as independent as possible for as long as possible. Running twice weekly, participants come from Carleton Place, Almonte, Pakenham and Arnprior to take advantage of the variety of activities offered at this small retreat centre. Nestled in the Pakenham countryside along the Mississippi River, Stonebridge Haven is a refuge from the hectic pace of everyday life. Founders Claire Marson and Daniel Berg developed Stonebridge Haven to meet the often-ignored needs of caregivers as they both had personal experience in caring for aging parents or friends. Statistics Canada estimates that there are more than eight million Canadians caring for family members who need support, which means that three out of every 10 people are working hard to find balance while taking on this loving and worthwhile challenge. Being a caregiver makes a significant difference not only in the lives of loved ones but for society at large, saving governments millions

Stonebridge Haven in Pakenham began offering its Find Your Balance - Adult Day Program last fall to meet the needs of seniors wanting to stay active and independent in their community. The program runs twice weekly and participants get to do everything from cooking, bean bag bowling, current affairs discussions, crafts and gardening, above. in health care costs. But caregivers need a lot of support, and the development of adult day programs is one of the ways that need is being met. Seniors who benefit most are those whose activities and relationships have been shrinking along with their energy and capabilities, perhaps spending most of the day
in front of the TV. These parents, spouses, family members or friends are the ones most in need of the gentle and warm support of these small caring communities. The Find Your Balance (FYB) — Adult Day Program is a grassroots, fee-based program which provides participants with a specially-designed series of enriching activities
that give them much needed cognitive, physical and social stimulation, according to their individual needs, along with two snacks and a homecooked meal (feedback is that the cooking is amazing!). Whether enjoying puzzles or music, current affairs discussions, crafts, bean bag bowling or building pizzas, there is something for everyone, not the least the comfort of a day spent among peers. To date, once someone has come for an introductory visit, they come back for more and become part of the Stonebridge Haven community. FYB is unique because it has the flexibility to address individual needs that are not so easily met in larger programs. Staff and volunteers provide specialized support for different levels of cognitive function as well as stroke recovery, all within the inclusive context of the warmth and sociability of the larger group.

Centre and the Almonte General Hospital day program have both referred clients to this new program, the latter as their funding only allows for three months of care, after which patients are left to continue on their own. FYB has worked closely with hospital staff to ensure the best continuation of care, tailoring activities to meet ongoing health goals and abilities. Along with the FYB adult day program, Stonebridge Haven also offers programs for caregivers as well as anyone struggling to deal with the stresses of every day life. From group and personal retreats to coaching, patient advocacy and a variety of courses, the caring staff at Stonebridge Haven go out of their way to help you find your balance.
