Alzheimer Society benefits from charity golf tournament in Kemptville The Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville was the recipient of the inaugural Ben Hutton Celebrity Golf Shootout July 8 at Kemptville’s eQuinelle Golf Club. Players entered as a team of three and a celebrity was assigned to them. Celebrities included: Slater Koekkoek, Devin Shore, Brendan Bell, Micheal Tayler, Ryan Spooner, Tim Nedow, Lumber Joe, Troy Stecher, and Jacob Chychrun and of course Ben Hutton who plays for the Vancouver Canucks. Hutton and his family have a per-
sonal connection to Alzheimer s disease and had this to say to the sponsors, donors and participants. “I want to personally thank you for contributing to this cause. Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that robs those afflicted and those that care about them. “It has been personally affected as my grandmother and 59-year-old aunt are in the advanced late stages of the disease,” he said. “Any efforts to support the society to slow down and hopefully one day eliminate Alzheimer's while supporting those affected is
great." “We were very excited to receive the news that the Hutton family had chosen us as a recipient of this tournament,” said Bobbi-Jo White, fund development co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville. “This not only raised an incredible amount of money for us but it also has created more awareness for our organization. The Huttons and the organizing committee are a great group and it was a pleasure to be a part of this event.”
Lanark County 4-H host agricultural day The Lanark County 4-H Marketing Club will be hosting a 4-H Agricultural Day promoting our local Lanark County 4-H Association, the clubs that run in our county, and local agriculture. This is also a Canada 150 community celebration. This event is funded by the 4-H Connecting Canadians Fund, part of 4-H Canada’s Signature Project for Canada 150, and is supported by the Government of Canada, TransCanada, and McDonald’s Canada. This event will be taking place at the Lanark County Plowing Match at the farm of Charlie, Evelyn, Marshall, Sarah, and Braelei James (12501 Highway 7, Carleton Place) on Aug. 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lanark County 4-H Association has many clubs that run throughout the year. There will be a variety of clubs in attendance displaying and/or achieving at this event. Some of the clubs present on this day will be the Lanark County Plowing and Soil and Crop Club, competing in the match; the Lanark County Rabbit, doing rabbit agility and showmanship; and the Lanark County Barn Quilt Club, with barn quilt patterns on display to be judged. There will be representatives from some of the life skills clubs such as the Cloverbuds, gardening, and archery clubs. There will also be representatives from livestock clubs, such as goat, sheep, poultry, and cattle. The 4-H Cloverbuds, ages six to eight, have been busy painting bird houses to be on display. As well, the 4-H Barn Quilt Club have been busy designing, transferring, and painting barn quilt patterns on plywood. A member of our community will be at the event to judge the classes of bird houses and barn quilts. This will be a great opportunity for youth in the area to come and learn about 4-H and the clubs we offer, and volunteers will be on hand for those who have any questions. In celebration of Canada 150, the first 150 people who come through our 4-H tents will receive a grab bag (at a maximum of two per family). There will also be special guest speakers and a Canada 150 celebratory birthday cake.
The Lanark County Plowing Match will have a pancake breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. They will also have horse and tractor plowing classes, antique exhibits and demonstrations, sheep shearing, craft sales, musical entertainment, and media (1:30 p.m.) and municipal plowing (1 p.m.) going on throughout the day.
The Lanark County 4-H Marketing Club would like to thank the Lanark County Plowmen’s Association for allowing the club to take part in their event, to hold our Canada 150 celebration, and our agricultural day. They would also like to thank the corporate sponsors once again. Submitted by Lanark County 4-H Association

Public urged to report Japanese knotweed in Lanark County A new invasive plant species — Japanese knotweed — has been spotted in Lanark County, and the public is urged to watch for and report it so steps can be taken to minimize its impact. “Japanese knotweed has become a big problem in other parts of Canada and the world,” explains Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. “The damage done by this plant to foundations, septic systems and asphalt has been well-documented. We all need to be proactive and work to eliminate this plant before it causes infrastructure damage and lowers property values.” Michelle Vala, the county’s vegetation management intern, explains Japanese knotweed is highly invasive and originated from eastern Asia. “It is regarded as one of the world’s top invasive species. It forms dense thickets of bamboolike vegetation and has extensive rhizome or root systems. It is a problem when it comes to infrastructure because it has been found to grow through eightcentimetre thick concrete or asphalt.” She adds the plant has been identified throughout the county and is commonly found in gardens as an ornamental plant. “People should avoid purchasing it from nurseries. In Ontario, it is illegal to import, deposit, release, breed/grow, buy, sell, lease or trade Japanese knotweed.” Japanese knotweed has heart-shaped leaves and sprouts, often mistaken for asparagus, that have a reddish tinge. The stem is hollow and turns green as it develops. In summer, they produce cream-coloured flowers. It spreads with rhizomes, so shoots will pop up all over a garden. Because it penetrates deep into the ground, it can damage foundations, drainage systems and walls. “In addition to the infrastructure damage it
can cause, it also has negative effects on habitat,” Ms. Vala added. “It degrades areas next to streams and rivers and can interfere with recreational activities by impeding access. It also outcompetes native plants and negatively impacts wetland quality.” Lanark County has adopted a new Vegetation Management Plan that uses various methods to control invasive species. The goal is to maintain safe roadsides using a long-term, multifaceted and holistic approach. Part of the plan includes identifying and reporting invasive plants and noxious weeds. The public is encouraged to use the online mapping system at www.eddmaps.org/ ontario/about/ to report Japanese knotweed — or any other invasive plant or noxious weed — if they see it. Japanese knotweed is one of six target weeds for the county, along with wild parsnip, poison ivy, giant hogweed, dog-strangling vine and phragmites. Eradication requires a combination of cutting down the stems and chemical treatments (herbicides) — sometimes multiple. “For those opposed to using herbicides, small or young infestations may be removed by digging up the rhizomes,” Ms. Vala says. “For large infestations, however, excavation would be required since the entire plant can regrow from very small rhizome fragments.” The Ontario Invasive Plant Council has detailed information about eradication in its best management practices document at http://www.ontarioinvasiveplants.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/ OIPC_BMP_JapaneseKnotweed.pdf. For more information, please contact public works at 613-267-1353 or check http://www.county.lanark.on.ca/Page1875.aspx.
Lanark County is urging the public to watch for this noxious week that can creep through pavement and break foundations. The Japanese knotweed has become a big problem in other parts of Canada. Submitted photos

‘Funniest Broadway comedy in years’ opening soon at Studio Theatre In the early 1960s, little-known Canadian actor Bernard Slade was busy appearing in local stage productions at the Garden Centre Theatre in the small town of Vineland, Ont. But his aspirations eventually grew beyond local theatre, and even beyond acting. At the age of 35, Bernard made the leap to Hollywood to become a screenwriter, and was soon writing for the classic television show Bewitched. Offered a chance to develop his own shows, he went on to create some of the most iconic sitcoms of the ‘60s and ‘70s, including Love on a Rooftop, The Flying Nun, Bridget Loves Bernie, and The Partridge Family. In 1975, Slade turned his hand to theatre, penning the phenomenally successful play Same Time, Next Year, followed by Tribute (starring Jack Lemmon), and the hit Broadway show Romantic Comedy. Which brings this story back to where it all began: local Ontario theatre. Thursday, Aug. 17, Perth's own Studio Theatre premieres Bernard Slade's triumphant theatrical confection Romantic Comedy, a show that was called the "funniest comedy on Broadway in years" by WABC-TV, and "a darling of a play ... with cool wit and warm sentiment" by the New York Post. Romantic Comedy has stood the test of time and it now provides a delightful evening of entertainment right here in Perth, brought to you by veteran director David Parry and his cast of fine local actors. Romantic Comedy tells the story of arrogant, sharp-tongued Jason Carmichael, a successful coauthor of Broadway romantic comedies. As the play opens, Jason is facing two momentous events: he is hours away from marrying a society belle, and his longtime collaborator is retiring. Enter Phoebe Craddock, a somewhat mousy

But nothing this good lasts forever, and comic situations abound as Jason's world falls apart, Phoebe discovers her inner chic, and, well, the rest is too UP TO funny to give away here. Suffice it to say that Bernard Slade, one of the best screenwriters ever, has done it again.

The lure of the lake brings a summer full of camping, fishing, boating BY KAY ROGERS
Drawn from 'At Home in Tay Valley,' a book that celebrates the people, places and events in the history of Tay Valley Township and Lanark County in general. It was a summer full of camping, fishing, boating, and all around fun, the kinds of summers experienced by youngsters in Ontario lakelands where families of country, town and city found relief from workday life. —A Boy’s Cottage Diary, 1904 “It’s not that cold once you’re in.” This familiar cottage refrain is as common as the call of the loon on lakes in Lanark County. As we celebrate Canada 150, some 200 families in Lanark County are receiving Legacy Cottage Plaques. While most of these cottages have been in the same family for 50-75 years, one cottage on Mississippi Lake has been in the same family since 1852, a mere 165 years! Notwithstanding the cottage dating from 1852, the emergence of summer cottages and the arrival of tourists on our lakes and rivers began in the decades immediately following Confederation. There were three
key factors permitting cottaging: a growing middle class with sufficient disposable income to afford a vacation; modern transportation in the form of railways and improved roads made lakes more accessible; and the notion that “nature” was a wholesome place to be preserved and visited. One of the earliest cottages in Lanark County was built on Christie Lake in 1892 by R.J. Drummond, manager of the Bank of Montreal in Perth. By that time, people were already enjoying Christie Lake, or Christy’s Lake, as it was called. In Arden Blackburn’s Mail Route: The Early Days at Christie Lake, John McKenty writes: “Drawn by the beauty of the lake and its plentiful fishing, as early as the 1880s, Perth’s professional and business elite had begun to arrive at the lake in their horses and buggies. While some chose to camp in makeshift tents on the shore of Gravelly Bay, others chose to stay at the boarding house of Alexander and Isabella Palmer ... It wasn’t long before word of Alexander and Isabella Palmer’s rooming establishment began to spread." "Ho! For Christie’s Lake on the 24th of May (1895). One hundred and

Late Autumn, etching by Lanark County Artist Franc van Oort. fifty people are expected at the Christie’s Lake summer resort on above date to participate in yachting, boating, angling, or a swing in the hammock in the cool shade, or perhaps better still a ramble over the verdant hills to the 'cold spring' where Romeo and his Juliet, after refreshing themselves with the cooling waters, may inscribe their cognomens on nature’s register, the silver birch, which overshadows the spring. Mr. Palmer has his beautiful resort in apple pie order, having had his boats overhauled and repainted. A first class dance
hall is convenient for those who may wish to indulge in a 'trip of the light fantastic'.” (Perth Courier May 17, 1895) Nearby, at the northeast end or foot of Otty Lake, George Kerr, owner and operator of the Perth Bottling Works on the Little River in Perth, built a cottage in the late 1880s. The Kerr cottage, which was in North Elmsley Township, was closely followed by the Farmer cottage built in 1893 on the north shore of Otty Lake in North Burgess (the lake straddles the historic townships of North Bur-
2017
gess and North Elmsley). The Farmers’ cottage, christened “Beth Shan” (House of Peace), remains in the family to this day. Over the next three decades, additional cottages and other structures appeared. A map of Otty Lake, circa 1928, shows some twenty or twentyfive cottages on its shores. What’s more, by the 1920s, there was a lively scene on the north shore surrounding the Otty Lake Park (also known as the Connaught Hotel or Bungalow Inn), where Perthites went for picnics, boating, swimming, baseball games and Saturday night dances featuring wellknown bands of the era. Big Rideau Lake, which spans the townships of Tay Valley, Drummond / North Elmsley and Rideau Lakes, was among the first in the area to boast cottages. Fancy Free is the oldest cottage still standing on the Big Rideau. The Washburn family of Smiths Falls had built this family retreat by the late 1870s. Letters from the early 1900s show

that the Washburns would travel frequently by boat back and forth from Smiths Falls to Fancy Free, and the family lived on the island for the entire summer. The cool lake breezes and sparkling water provided hours of fun for these otherwise serious Victorians, who remain vividly present in early photos that show them happily at play in the water around the cottage in canoes, rowboats, skiffs, sailboats and graceful wooden boats with small newfangled gasoline powered motors. The invention of boat motors made the lakes accessible by water in the late 19th century, and residents of nearby towns and villages built unique summer residences along the shores of the Rideau Waterway. Big Rideau Lake, the largest and most spectacular of the many lakes along the waterway, also attracted people from Ottawa, Kingston, and the eastern seaboard of the United States. Soon, an active colony of summer cottagers (especially mothers with large broods of See COTTAGES page7

established, their lives characterized by boating, swimming, fishing, camping, and socializing. (www.fancyfreeisland.com.) In addition to well-to-do cottagers, the Big Rideau also attracted tourists. Starting in the late 19th century, the Rideau Lakes Navigation Company advertised travelling the Rideau Lakes Route from Clayton, N.Y., to Kingston and Ottawa on its steamers, the Rideau Queen and her sister ship, the Rideau King, as “the most popular tourist route in Canada and the sportsman’s paradise.” A generation later, farmers began to build rental cottages to attract tourists and summer vacationers. In 1936, Sylvester and Carmel McNamee built the first of their cottages on Pike Lake to rent to fishermen, primarily Americans. During this same period, James and Margaret Ennis opened Ennis cottages on Bennett Lake. A few years later, in 1941, John Jordan decided to make use of his beautiful beach on Christie Lake. People thought he was crazy. “Don’t lose the farm, John.” But he built that cottage and rented it all summer. Next spring, he built another and rented it all summer. That was the beginning of Jordan’s Cottages and Campground. The two decades following the Second World War proved a boom period for cottages in Lanark County for three key and interrelated reasons. First, the introduction of the five-day work week in the 1950s, together with two weeks’ paid vacation for most workers mandated by the Canadian government in 1951, granted people more leisure time. Second, higher wages and disposable incomes meant that more people could afford to purchase an automobile and could, therefore, drive to cottage country. Third, farmers realized people were interested in buying their waterfront land for family cottages, rental cottages, marinas and lodges. Today, few parcels of vacant land remain on our lakes and rivers. Since the beginning of the 21st century, two major changes have occurred in cottage country. One is the trend among retiring baby boomers to convert their cottages into year-round residences. The other is increased awareness of the unfortunate, and undoubtedly inadvertent, negative impact human activity has had on our lakes. Episodes of excessive weed growth, the arrival of invasive species and, more recently, incidents of blue-green algae have served as calls to action to waterfront property owners, as well as to municipalities, the Rideau and Mississippi Valley Conservation Authorities and others. As the story about putting a frog into a tank of warm water and gradually increasing the temperature tells us, there is a tipping point beyond which it is too late. In response, many lake associations in Lanark County, indeed across the province, have developed lake stewardship plans in an effort to encourage lakeside property owners to protect the health of their lakes and their surrounding environment for present and future generations. Since the emergence of cottaging 150 years ago, generations have grown up spending at least part of the summer at the cottage and, as a result, have built a treasure trove of memories of “camping, fishing, boating, and all-round fun” with their families, friends, and neighbours. Cottage living continues to lure people to the many lakes and rivers of Lanark County. Cottages which have been in the same family for 50 years or more may be eligible for a legacy cottage designation. Legacy Cottage Plaques are being given out, mostly at lake association meetings over the summer. The deadline for late applications is Aug. 14.

Commentary Omar Khadr - no angel, no hero Omar Khadr, you’ve really rained on Justin Trudeau’s summer. Khadr was never someone on whom you could have a neutral opinion. And ever since the federal government decided to pay him out more than $10 million, his case has become a lightning rod of attention - a lot of it negative. For a prime minister who promised “Sunny Ways,” borrowing a line from former Liberal P.M. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, this was the last thing he needed during his mid-term summer. You can almost hear the Conservatives getting their Khadr attack ads ready for Election 2019: “Trudeau even gave $10 million to terrorist Omar Khar.” Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes Conservative MP Gord Brown will be hosting a meeting at the 1000 Islands Mall in Brockville on Tuesday, July 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. Already, we have seen dozens upon dozens of posts on our online story about
this meeting, describing what people really think of Khadr and what they would like to do to him, and what the money could have been better spent on. Khadr has become the third rail of our politics. The best Trudeau has been able to do has been to say that, hey, it could’ve been worse, and that the feds could have been on the hook for as much as $40 million. A bit lame, yes, but as one of the chief lawmakers in the country, he cannot just ignore the Supreme Court. For a man who said in 2015 that “A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian,” this is where the rubber hits the road - defending a young man who, by any metric, was no saint, who may likely have played a part in the killing of an unarmed medic. Does Khadr deserve the money? Likely not. He does deserve some apology though for not being helped out by his own government in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Citizenship does not mean you only help citizens you like.
All Hail Sparky, king of the cats in the barn Sparky was older than I was. And he ruled the roost as far as the cat population went at the farm. He was an orange colour, and one eye was green and the other blue. He certainly wasn’t much to look at. The barn cats, and there were many of them, could be held and cuddled. Not Sparky! If I tried to pick him up, he would go stiff as a board, snarl, and glare at me, and act like maiming me for life was a distinct possibility. So, I left him alone. The barn cats were never allowed in the house. Mother thought anything walking on four feet should be in the barn! I never knew where all the kittens came from. I thought everyone in Northcote had a pile of them, and I heard that some people,

when the numbers grew, put them in a grist bag and threw them in the Bonnechere River. The very thought sent chills right through my body, and I was grateful none of our cats came to that end. And it wasn’t unusual for someone like Two Mile Herman to bring a kitten to the Northcote School and try to talk someone into taking it home. This rarely worked, since we all had our own barnful of cats. No one could remember when or where Sparky came from. But one day my older brother Everett said it was Sparky who was responsible for the pack of cats we housed in the barn. I couldn’t imagine how that was possible. He never left the place to bring a new cat to the farm.
And when I mentioned that fact to Everett, he just threw back his head and laughed. Sparky was as big as a small Collie dog, and he always looked like he had had a serious confrontation with some wild animal in the bush, which he frequented often. Sometimes he would be gone for days, and as soon as Father would say “good riddance,” there Sparky would appear as large as life. That was when I first heard
that a cat had nine lives. How anyone figured that out was beyond me. Did someone stop to count them? I did know the barn cats survived many close calls though. Often a cow would kick a cat and it would land several feet away, stand up, shake itself off as if getting rid of the chaff from the hay laying around, and walk off as if nothing had happened. I once asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey what the cats ate. We certainly never fed them. There were several old battered tin plates in the barn that were filled with milk when the milking was done. But to me that was all they ever put in their stomachs. But Audrey said they survived on eating mice. That too, sent chills up my back.

I didn’t know whether to root for the cat or the mouse, since I loved animals of every description. So if the cats survived on mice and milk, they sure flourished. I once tried to give them names, but so many of them looked alike that I gave up. Except for Sparky. For the longest time he was the only one in the barn who had different coloured eyes. On hot summer days, one of my favourite places was sitting on the cement platform that held the pump and often a barn cat would wander over, and I would take it on my lap, and my greatest joy was when it snuggled down and started to purr. Never in a hundred years could I do that with Sparky! Some of the barn cats were

black and white, and sometimes a grey striped kitten would appear, and occasionally, I would go into the barn and find a new batch of kittens huddled in the hay, and they would be the spitting image of Sparky. Once I found one new kitten that even had two different coloured eyes. I could never figure out how a new kitten could look like old Sparky. By way of explanation, my brother Everett would just say, “old Sparky’s been at it again” whatever that meant. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Blues on the Rideau announces lineup includes a delicious full-course buffet dinner, door prizes, and dancing. Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling The Cove at 1-888-COVEINN, 613-273-3636 or email info@coveinn.com. Proceeds from each show goes to support different local charities. To date, more than $64,000 has been raised for the Westport community with the goal of another $5,000 this season. This year’s lineup To kick off this year’s series on Sept. 22 is Angel Forrest Band, a great singer/songwriter and entertainer from Quebec with a career spanning 27 years, nine albums and multiple awards including the Maple Blues Award for Best Female Vocalist in the country for the last four years running. Angel has played major festivals and clubs across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Backed by her talented songwriter/guitarist husband Denis Coulombe and a very tight band, Angel belts out rockin’ soul blues with a vengeance. She often draws comparisons to the late, great Janis Joplin because of the uncanny similarity in her voice and her dynamic stage presence but

Making his first appearance on The Cove stage will be the Sean Pichin Band of Kitchener. A talented soul blues singer, Pichin is also known for his slide guitar work.
Angel can sing it soft and slow as well. This is her second visit to BOTR (March 2016). Proceeds from this appearance will go to the Ruby Gland Charity. On Oct. 27, Blackburn from Toronto will be welcomed to Toronto. A soulful band of brothers — literally — Blackburn is Brooke (guitar and vocals), Duane (keyboards and lead vocals) and Corey (drums) plus good friend Andrew Stewart on bass. They play a unique blend of soul/ blues/R&B/jazz funk — New Orleans meets the Great White North. They come by their talent honestly — it’s in the blood. Their ancestors came from the American south making the long journey to Upper Canada via the Underground Railroad in the 1860s to escape slavery — and they brought their music with them. Eventually the family moved to Toronto where their dad Bobby Dean Blackburn (keyboardist and singer) became a seminal figure on the vibrant R&B scene in that city in the '50s, '60s and '70s. Blackburn have recorded two great albums — the most recent one, Brothers In This World, was nominated for a Juno Award last year and they have won multiple Maple Blues Awards. This is their third visit to BOTR and proceeds from the show will go to the Westport Public Library. On Nov. 24, Tas Cru with Wicked Grin, from New York state and Ottawa, take to The Cove stage. Singer, songwriter, guitarist Tas Cru plays country blues mixed with southern soul and rock. He’s raucous, rowdy, gentle, sweet, eccentric, quirky and outright irreverent. Based in New York’s Hudson Valley, Tas performs in a variety of formats from solo acoustic to a seven-piece band. For this show he’s bringing his drummer and harmonica player with him and will be joined by Maple Blues Award winners Murray Kinsley on guitar and vocals and Leigh-Anne Stanton on bass — part of the great Ottawa rock blues band Wicked Grin. This show will benefit the Dick Ready Christmas Tree Lights Fund. Next up on Jan. 19 and 20 is a twonight stand from popular favourite Jack de Keyzer Band of Toronto. Jack leads one of the hardest working and most skilled blues bands in the country with David (The Groove Doctor) Morrow on keyboards, Alan Duffy on bass, Richard Thornton on sax and Gary Donaldson on drums — and of course Jack up front on lead vocals and playing that scorching guitar of his. You get some rock, funk, swing and jazz overtones with Jack’s blues and it’s all good! A two-time Juno and seven-time Maple Blues Award winner Jack is one of the all time favourites at BOTR (this is his eighth visit). Proceeds from these shows will go to the Friends of Foley Mountain and Kick In for Kids Rideau District High School. See Blues page SF10

BLUES
From page SF9
Feb. 16 will feature Harpdog Brown & The Travelin’ Blues Show with Sugar Brown, from Vancouver and Toronto. Harpdog has been a major force in Canadian blues since 1982. Born in Edmonton and raised in Vancouver he’s played thousands of gigs at clubs and festivals in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. He’s received multiple award nominations over his career including the Maple Blues Award for Best Harmonica Player the past two years running. He’s backed by The Travelin’ Blues Show — Jordan Edmonds on the very tasty fat tone guitar and Pat Darcus on upright bass. They’re joined for this show by a drummer and special guest Sugar Brown (a.k.a. Dr. Ken Kawashima) from Toronto — a singer/songwriter/guitarist who also plays brilliant “real deal” blues. This show will benefit the St. Edward’s Elementary School in Westport. The Sean Pichin Band from Kitchener will come to The Cove for their first appearance March 16. Sean is a not only a fabulous slide guitarist he’s got a great voice and writes inspired, powerful songs. He plays acoustic as well as electric blues both solo and with his band and when he’s not doing that he backs the wonderfully talented soul blues singer Dione Taylor. Sean has been playing more than 180 shows a year for the past eight years and it shows. He has two excellent albums out — both recorded live off the floor — which means what you hear on his records is what you get in his performances. His second one, Monkey Brain, was nominated for a Juno this past year. Sean is bringing his full band for this show so you’ll get to see the electric dancing blues side of this wonderfully talented artist. Proceeds from this show will go to the Rideau Waterway Land Trust.

Edmonton’s Boogie Patrol is up next on April 20. Founded in 2007. Boogie Patrol has become one of western Canada’s premier party bands garnering acclaim and an army of enthusiastic followers dubbed “repeat offenders.” Led by singer/harp player Rott’n Dan Shinnan (who reminds me of an early Joe Cocker with his voice and stage presence) and Yuji Ihara playing some killer guitar these guys bring an amazing amount of energy to the stage — rocking blues, soul and funk as good as it gets. This show benefits Country Roads Community Health Centre. Rounding out Blues on the Rideau for the season is the David Rotundo Band for a twonight stand May 11 and 12. Arguably the most popular artist to have played BOTR over the last 12 years, David Rotundo is back to close out the 2017/18 season and just like Jack de Keyzer he requires a two-night stand to accommodate all of his fans. If you’ve been around the Canadian blues scene for the past two decades David really needs no introduction. A remarkable harmonica player, singer and songwriter he started out in Toronto but now plays all over the world wintering in Mexico and touring in eastern Europe where he has a huge following. And no wonder — David delivers one of the most entertaining shows you will see anywhere. He’ll have his full band with him for both evening shows of course but this year he’ll also be doing a special acoustic lunch on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. with Cove manager and bass player, the superb Seamus Cowan. It’s only $30 and includes a full lunch. You’ll want to reserve for this one, too. These shows benefit Westport in Bloom and 4-H Canada’s Leeds chapter.

SMITHS FALLS KIA
Candida-Mania arrives at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival July 21 British cultural exports to North America have often earned monikers that suit the temperament they inspire. The adulation greeting four lads from Liverpool who crossed the pond in 1964 inspired Beatlemania, but long before that landmark Baby Boomer phenomenon, another “mania” was inspired by a play opening July 21 at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival. “Candidamania” was an early 20th century sensation inspired by the first New York production of Candida, George Bernard Shaw’s warm and witty comedy that skewered Victorian notions of love, marriage, and friendship. As Americans entered a new era marked by technological change and breaking with restrictive social and moral conventions, Candida fit the bill for a sophisticated, new kind of theatrical experience that was overwhelmingly applauded both because it was very funny but also thoughtful and provocative. Candidamania was described by the New York Sun as “a contagious disease, frequently caught in street cars, elevated trains, department stores, restaurants, and other places where people talk about what they did the night be-
fore. 'Have you seen Candida?' is the question of the hour. Thousands are dragging their friends to see Mr. Shaw's play.” The story revolves around Candida, the wife of a famous clergyman, the Reverend James Mavor Morell (played by Jeffrey Aarles). Played by Festival newcomer (and Ottawa-raised) Dana Fradkin, Candida’s good works, charm, and grace have certainly helped Morell in his career, and she is loved by one and all. That love so many feel for her becomes translated into a romantic obsession on the part of a passionate young Morell protégé by the name of Eugene Marchbanks (Perth-born Sean Jacklin), whose loving entreaties create a connubial crisis for the married couple. As with all Shaw plays, Candida is peopled with unforgettable comic characters, who in this case include the prickly but dedicated Morell secretary Miss Proserpine (played by Anna Burkholder), the fawning Reverend Alexander Mill (Fraser Elsdon), and Candida’s father, Burgess (William Vickers), described as only Shaw could write as “a man made coarse and sordid by the compulsory selfishness of petty commerce, and later on softened
teachings of Jesus, especially the invitation from the Sermon on the Mount to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, house the homeless, and tend to those in prison or sick beds. Director Laurel Smith, who worked at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake after staging a successful Toronto series of “Shaw in the City” productions (including an earlier production
of Candida), says “Shaw continues to offer us so much given his understanding of human dynamics and how we relate to one another as acquaintances, friends, lovers, and spouses. Anyone who has ever been married or just deeply in love, with all the conflicting emotions that produces, will identify with many of the characters in this wonderful play.” Smith points to the Classic Theatre Festival’s awardwinning production of Shaw’s comedy Arms and the Man from last summer’s season as proof that Shaw still has “a great deal of resonance with today’s audiences, who appreciate not only his incredible wit and memorable turn of phrases, but also his ability to create very human situations that are universal and accessible for audiences everywhere.” Discounted preview tickets for Candida, which begins July 21, are still available, and the play will run until August 13, Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows every Wednesday and Saturday.

As a Christian socialist who, in ministering to the poor and socially isolated in northeast London, Morell’s character reflects a significant social movement that made its mark on this country through the ideas and programs first introduced to Canada by the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation.

Kitten blitz results in many happy endings for LAWS feline adoptions What a weekend it was — the Kitten Blitz was a bit scruffy-looking, but he has turned out Adoptathon took place last Saturday and Sun- to be very handsome. He is superfriendly and day and resulted in many happy adoptions. likes to be held and petted. Thank you to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) staff and volunteers who prepared the kittens, transported them to the pet stores and stayed to help. And a huge thank you to the staff at the pet stores — Pet Valu in Almonte, Pet Valu in Carleton Place and Laura Jane's Pet Food and Supplies in Perth for hosting the adoptathons. Kittens will stay at the Pet Valu stores until they are adopted, and there are more at the shelter — in fact, a momma cat had a litter of six just last week, so the supply isn't going to run out any time soon. Thanks also to the wonderful vendors at the fourth annual Merrickville Summer Showcase which was held last Sunday. The weather was a lot nicer than for the Spring Showcase (cold, rainy, floods everywhere!) and a lot more people attended. Thank you for the 50-50 and silent auction donations, from all the paws at LAWS. Chamber Featured pets Cute, playful little Chamber is only about eight months old. He runs to the gate to greet visitors and demands to be held and cuddled. His grey and white fur is silky-soft to the touch, so cuddling with him is no chore. He is semilonghaired with a tail thick and fluffy enough for a cat twice his size.

Good thing cats have nine lives as poor Tuffy has already used up two of his. He is another one of the cats rescued after the recent house fire and his right front leg was broken so badly it had to be amputated. Tuffy is managing really well on three legs and his incision has healed nicely. In spite of all the trauma he has faced, he is a friendly, lively, happy boy who loves to play and cuddle, snuggling his head under your chin when you hold him. He is two years old and ready to move on to the next chapter of his life.

Meet Holly, our fun-loving seven-year-old Labrador retriever/ Doberman mix. She was surrendered to LAWS due to her strength; she loves walks but needs leash work, as she gets overly excited when she sees new people or animals and pulls to get over to them. Holly would love nothing more than to bond to a new family that she can play, run around with and cuddle all day! You can read more about Holly on our website, or call the shelter to talk to the staff who know her or make an appointment to meet her for yourself.

Bicycle safety issues slip through the cracks, using our roads a shared responsibility A few weeks ago, I wrote about the growing problem of aggressive driving, in this case involving motor vehicles. I have had a lot of email feedback from readers, some of whom outlined their own “bad” experiences. A number of people have expressed the opinion that the penalties available aren’t nearly harsh enough. They feel that tempts some individuals to repeat dangerous driving practices on our streets and highways. As in most negative circumstances, it’s a minority who are involved in this kind of activity. However, police are alarmed by the increasing number of occurrences and especially the growing number of deaths and injuries resulting from this kind of behaviour. This week, I am shifting gears and looking at yet another problem area involving our streets and highways. I’m among the growing number of people concerned about bicycle safety issues in our communities. This is the season, so obviously now is the time to address the matter. I listen to the radio news and traffic reports every morning. During three seasons of the year (cycling in Canada during winter is much reduced), there is rarely a week goes by that I don’t hear about a serious bi-

cycle versus motor vehicle collision somewhere in our region. Sadly, the number of cyclist deaths is growing. When a bicycle and a motor vehicle collide, it is almost always the cyclist who comes out on the wrong end. I want to make it clear that I have the utmost respect for cyclists who follow the rules of the road. What concerns me is the large number who clearly don’t respect rules they are bound, by law, to observe. Going back to vehicle-bicycle crashes, I don’t for one second lay the blame solely with cyclists. Using our roads is a shared responsibility and when collisions occur the fault often falls on motorists. The reality is that many drivers don’t respect people riding bicycles and with more and more individuals taking to the road on two wheels that raises the stakes. Large urban communities, including nearby Ottawa, are taking more account of the large number

of cyclists within their municipalities. The number of dedicated bicycle lanes is increasing exponentially. In Ontario the so-called “one metre law” was passed by the provincial government two years ago. Where practical, motor vehicle operators are now required to give at least one metre of space when passing a bicycle. In Canada, to my knowledge, Nova Scotia is the only other province with such a law. So, clearly some attention is being paid to the matter of bicycle safety in Ontario. However, in order for such laws to work, people have to adhere to them. Another huge issue is enforcement. Police resources in most communities are stretched, which means officers focus on the “serious issues” of the day. Evidently, vehicles vs. bicycles aren’t at the top of the list. Shared responsibility As I have already noted, this is a shared issue. If motorists are expected to follow the rules of the road, as well as follow safe practices in terms of regular interactions with cyclists, then those riding bicycles must also respect the rules. Let’s start with something basic in terms of general safety. In Ontario, all people under 18 years of age

are required to wear a helmet when cycling. The provincial bike helmet law has been in effect for nearly 22 years and was originally intended for people of all ages. It was amended to exclude adults, something I feel is just plain dumb. The logic is that if you are an adult, you can make your own decision about wearing a helmet. The reality is that the exemption means those 18 years of age and older can take yet another risk while cycling. Sometimes we have to protect people from themselves and to me this is a case in point. Another reality is that huge numbers of minors disregard the helmet law. I see it every day in our community at this time of year. While I was researching this column, an acquaintance told me the rate of adherence to the helmet law is higher in major centres and less so in smaller communities such as ours. Well, I have been in downtown Ottawa more than usual lately and I made mental notes of what I observed. The compliance rate appears to be very low among young cyclists in the nation’s capital. One afternoon on busy Prince of Wales Drive, I saw what appeared to be a family of five all riding their bicycles. The three children were following Dad and Mom’s example. None

were wearing helmets! When it comes to the so-called “rules of the road,” it is clear large numbers of bicycle riders either don’t know the rules apply to them, or they simply don’t care. Many cyclists blow through stop and yield signs like they aren’t even there. Others weave in and out of motor vehicle traffic. Lots of cyclists ride on sidewalks at a tremendous clip, indifferent to the danger they present to pedestrians. Many cyclists, people of all ages, break every rule you can think of. Enforcement is at a bare minimum, it seems. But during a recent blitz in Toronto, police reported to the news media that 80 per cent of cyclists observed at a busy all-way stop failed to obey the stop signs. I’m not even slightly surprised! In the end, just like the wellmeaning but badly abused helmet law, people simply make their own decisions about cycling safety and with little fear of any consequences. It’s a recipe for disaster and it overshadows the large number of cyclists who are responsible and who regularly follow the rules.

Carleton Place swimmer competing in Deaflympics in Turkey by tara gesner

Carleton Place swimmer Jacob Blackburn is ready to represent his country at the 2017 Summer Deaflympics. Jacob, 15, is in Samsun, Turkey, and he is competing at the international competition as a member of Team Canada. The Deaflympics run from July 18 to July 30. A member of the Carleton Place Water Dragons swim club, Jacob was born deaf in his right ear, and he then began losing hearing in the left. However, this impairment has never limited his success in the pool. In early May, Jacob and the five other Canadian swimmers competing in Turkey participated in an official training camp in Ottawa. “It was the team’s first ever official training camp, which was great,” Kent Blackburn told the Canadian Gazette. “It was the first and only time the team would have a chance to meet and be together before the Deaflympics.” Kent is Jacob’s father. Judy Baker coaches them, and in Carleton Place, Amanda Etherington trains Jacob. He excels at freestyle and the breaststroke. The team also competed in two consecutive swim meets over two weekends in May, one in Gatineau and the other in Nepean. In Gatineau, “the men’s relay, which included Jacob, broke two previous Canadian deaf swimming records (4x50 freestyle and 4x50 medley),” Kent said. Jacob’s family has been very supportive of his swimming. In addition to

library users, and from those surveys “we were really able to get a lot of good ideas,” Caswell noted. In regards to major findings, “the community really likes our library,” the manager of library services continued, and “it was really nice to see ... some of the responses read like a love letter.” Respondents agreed or strongly agreed library staff is helpful, pleasant and communicate clearly. No big surprise, people want the library open in the mornings — as well as Sunday hours. The library’s current hours of operation are Monday to Thursday from 1:30 to 8 p.m., Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “People want enhancements to our library building,” Caswell told council. “Again, I feel like this is no surprise to anyone ... it is starting to get a little dated inside.” Other suggested improvements include more seating, tutoring and training, and a café. Lastly, “we do great things, but our community does not know about them,” Caswell said. “Our communication needs to be better.” Action Subsequent to the strategic analysis, the strategic planning committee came up with four new strategic directions for the library, to be applied within the next five years: transforming library spaces; enhancing library services; community connection and engagement; and improving service delivery. “If we touch anything in the library, we want to make sure it is accessible and barrier free for our community,” Caswell explained. “That is our number 1 priority.” “We want to ensure the library space reflects the evolving needs of library users,” she continued. “With libraries changing so fast, any alterations we make now, we want to make sure they will not be obsolete a few years down the road.”

The Carleton Place Public Library recently unveiled its first ever strategic plan. Manager of library services Meriah Caswell (above) made the announcement during an update to council on June 27. The library will investigate options for revitalizing its interior. In regards to enhancing library services, many things can be done online these days. As a result, the library will attempt to enhance its online services. Options will be investigated for improving library hours. “We are looking at creating a marketing plan so we are better able to communicate our library’s programs and services to the community,” Caswell said. “This is another one of our main priorities.” With the amount of development happening now in Carleton Place as well as the growth expected down the road, “we need to improve library signage ... directional signage,” she added. “People need to know where we are.” Going forward, the library will create policies that ensure consistent, professional library services, with the goal of achieving Ontario Public Library accreditation. “We are a small library, but we are close to getting accredited, and it will really be a feather in our cap if we do,” Caswell said. Lastly, the library aims to facilitate professional de-
velopment opportunities for staff. The library’s circulation is in excess of 130,000 items, and there are more than 6,000 active users. They come from Carleton Place, Beckwith, Mississippi Mills, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark and other areas. According to Caswell, the library boasts one of the best summer reading programs in the country. As well, the library received the 2016 Angus Mowat Award of Excellence in February, during the 2017 Public Library Awards gala in Toronto. The award recognizes a commitment to excellence in the delivery of public library services. Carleton Place’s nomination resulted from its writer’s program — Carleton Place Writes. It is a series of ongoing workshops, writing challenges and seminars designed to empower and engage aspiring local writers. Comments “When you do get accredited, does it make a difference in your funding?” Coun. Sean Redmond asked. “Unfortunately, it will make absolutely no difference,” Caswell answered. “I wish it did.” She noted, “Accreditation would mean we are the standard of Ontario public libraries.” Doug Black questioned if the library looked at the town’s demographics. “We did,” Caswell said. “Unfortunately, those statistics came out after we created our strategic plan.” “However, we did note in our plan that we would be trying to improve our services and programs for seniors,” she added. According to the 2016 census data released Feb. 8, Carleton Place now has 10,644 residents within the community, with the percentage of individuals aged 60 to 79 growing rapidly. Deputy mayor Jerry Flynn called the 403 survey responses “a good number,” and it provides “a good cross reference as far as the information sought by the library.” Caswell concurred and
Buying local saves on transportation. Eating local improves food quality. Buying locally produced food supports local agriculture.
called it “a good, solid number.” Mayor Louis Antonakos thanked Caswell for her presentation, and he referred to staff at the library “as good as we can get.” “I have used the library since I was a little boy,”
he added. The mayor highlighted the Barbara Walsh Room, which is ideal for meetings, conferences and workshops. The room will accommodate 50 people, and the rental cost is $45 per evening or half day. “I know our environmen-
tal advisory committee meets in the room once a month,” Antonakos said. “It is greatly appreciated.” He called the library a very well used facility. The Carleton Place Public Library is located at 101 Beckwith St.

Paranormal investigation results revealed at Carleton Place’s Moore House by tara gesner
tgesner@metroland.com
Inside one of the oldest buildings in Carleton Place, the ghost of Ida Moore has been making her presence known for years.
Some of Ida’s antics include moving objects, opening and closing windows, turning radios on and off, staring out windows and generally giving people the creeps. The Moore House, constructed in the mid 1800s, was
home to multiple generations of the Moore family. Ida lived there with her parents and four siblings. The structure originally sat at the north end of Moore Street, opposite Lansdowne Avenue, but in 2007, a year after being donated to the
town, the building was raised from its foundation and moved to its current location, 170 Bridge St. Today, the Moore House is home to the Carleton Place & District Carleton Place Chamber Of Commerce and Visitor Centre. In 1900, at the age of 21, Ida died from tuberculosis in the home. John Moore (no relation) is the lead investigator at Ottawa Paranormal Research and Investigations (OPRI), which
specializes in cases of extreme paranormal activity. He founded the organization in 2013. This year, on Jan. 13, OPRI team members conducted an investigation of the Moore House. Their three-hour search included making numerous video and audio recordings to seek out electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) and other indications of paranormal activity. Equipment utilized included: electromagnetic field (EMF) meters, thermal imagers, video
cameras fitted with infrared and night vision, spirit boxes, computers and smartphones. Reveal OPRI spent weeks analyzing its data. On July 12, John and another investigator returned to the Moore House to reveal the organization’s findings. The audience encompassed chamber staff, media, Moore family See REVEAL page A/CP9

Jack MacLaren excited about Trillium opportunities, chances Jake Davies
jake.davies@metroland.com
MPP Jack MacLaren says his transition to the Trillium party is going well, and he can’t wait to represent the party in the 2018 election. MacLaren, the only sitting member of the young political party, knows he has his work cut out for him but is looking forward to the effort. “The transition is going very well,” MacLaren said. “Some people might think this would be a traumatic period. Stressful and all that. But it’s the exact opposite.”
The Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding MPP left the Progressive Conservative party on May 24 to join the Trillium Party of Ontario. Conservative party leader Patrick Brown maintains MacLaren was kicked out of caucus on May 28 for “once again … making comments that are unacceptable.” MacLaren spoke to the West Carleton Review at his office on Monday, July 10, stating he was disillusioned with the direction of the Conservatives under the leadership of Brown. Despite being called a key player in Brown’s successful 2015 leadership
campaign, MacLaren said he had cause for concern immediately after Brown’s tenure began. “This goes way back to October 2011,” he said. “(Former Carleton Mississippi Mills MPP) Norm Sterling became complacent; he wasn’t visiting his constituents’ office, wasn’t connecting with grassroots supporters. It was more of him losing than me winning.” MacLaren called the next five-anda-half years a “bumpy road.” “Sterling supporters weren’t happy someone would challenge him,” MacLaren said. “They never accepted it.”
MacLaren says that acceptance reared its head on March 24, 2016. MacLaren was invited to speak at Carp Men’s Night — a fundraiser for cancer attended by about 350 people. MacLaren made a crude joke about MP Karen McCrimmon. MacLaren admits his joke was not that funny in retrospect but claims the issue was compounded by those in attendance. “Men’s Night invites politicians and expects some off-colour jokes,” he continued. “The history is what happens at Men’s Night stays at Men’s Night. There were some Sterling supports up front with their cellphones
and released it to the media. It was kind of a trap.” MacLaren said Brown was not very supportive and sent him home for five weeks. While MacLaren said he would have appreciated more support, his dissatisfaction with the party’s leader has more to do with party governance than any individual issues. “Under Brown, members are told what to do and how to vote,” MacLaren said. “We had no freedom of democratic right to vote for our constituents or support our constituents.

AGH Welcomes New Board Chair
We’ve lived in the community for 20 years . Fortunately , my family hasn’t had to use the hospital very often, but we are lucky to have it here for when we need it - close to home. - Randy Larkin, Board Chair
The Annual General Meeting of the Almonte General Hospital Corporation was held on June 26th. The evening provided an opportunity to reflect on the past year and celebrate many accomplishments.
Randy has also been very involved in the work of the Mississippi River Health Alliance. “We’ve made a number of advancements in a short time and there are many other opportunities to explore.”
Randy Larkin is the new Board Chair, having served on the Board for the past four years. Randy is Assistant Deputy Ministry and Chief Financial Officer at Health Canada. He and his wife Trish raised their family in Mississippi Mills and now live between Almonte and Pakenham.
At the AGM, Nahanni McIntosh was welcomed to the Board. Nahanni has significant experience in strategic planning and health care communications. "AGH embodies the term ‘community’ in every way. I'm glad to be able to give back to the hospital where my two children were born, and look forward to working with such a dedicated and talented board."
“I’m excited about this new role and want to continue the good work led by Past Chairs Paul Virgin and Cindy Hobbs. Our local hospital is a jewel that we need to continue to support and develop.”

be a published poet, Rich received a commemorative certificate, cash gift of $60, and letter of congratulations from Wendy Burgess, the Poetry Institute of Canada’s managing editor. A copy of Oodles and Oodles of Noodles and Poodles will be placed in the school’s library. “Jordan-Anne, congratulations
on being the first-place winner,” Reid said. According to the Young Writers of Canada website: “Our Young Writers division holds annual poetry/writing contests to encourage the art of poetry and writing for all ages. Our aim among young Canadians is to encourage the writing of English poetry and creative writing. By publishing examples of the best work received each year,
we provide the opportunity for many students to see their work in print, and also to compare it with the work of students of a similar age. It is also important their writing skill be given an audience where it can be shared and enjoyed by others.” During the presentation, staff and students at Holy Name of Mary Catholic School gave Rich a large round of applause.
Elevator maintenance begins July 24 at CP hospital Routine maintenance to the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) elevator will take place from July 24 to July 27 during the regular operating room summer shutdown period. In the interest of patient and staff safety, the medical/surgical unit located on the second floor will be closed while the elevator is out of service. During the renovations, out-
patient space on the first floor will be converted to rooms for nine medical patients. The CPDMH team will work closely with Almonte General Hospital and other community partners to support our patients and to ensure that patients who need to be admitted to hospital are safely cared for. “The elevator was slated for routine, scheduled maintenance and we took the oppor-
tunity to align this work with the operating room closure,” explains Mary Wilson Trider, president and CEO. “We want to ensure safe operation of the elevator for our patients, families, staff, and volunteers.” “The emergency department will be fully operational,” stressed Wilson Trider.

Childhood fear can be just as scary the second time Please don’t call on me. You’re sitting in class and you don’t know the answer to the question the teacher has just put on the board. Either you didn’t study the material the night before, or you just didn’t get it, try as you might. Either way, you’re stumped. You put your hand up earlier in the lesson, so, maybe, you hope, the teacher won’t call on you. You’ve put in your time. You’ve put yourself forward. But no, it’s not happening. She looks over at you. You close your eyes – and hear your name. You stammer, and somehow get through to the end of whatever it was you said. Grasping at straws. Reciting what little you can remember. You get it wrong. You sit back down. I remember feeling this way in Ms. Noonan’s class in Grade 4. My best friends, Saul and Steve, had transferred over to the “new school,” Our Lady of Peace, and I was left behind. Everyone else had already paired up, friends wise, and I was left alone on the suddenly more sparse play yard at St. Joseph elementary school. I remember racing out of the door during first recess in September of 1990, getting to the other side of the yard, and realizing there was no one there behind me, running to play with me. Grade 4 was a hard year. But there are scary moments of sheer terror for kids. I’m talking about the stuff that you can laugh off now, but, as a kid, you find terrifying. This past Friday, July 14, I was seated in the second row of the Calvary Pentecostal Church in Appleton, Mississippi Mills, where my two daughters were taking place in an evening science camp. My youngest daughter, Loughlin, who turns four at the end of this month, was in the spot for the youngest budding scientists. As I waited with Loughlin on my knee for a Family Feud-style game to start, I flipped through The Holy Bible in front of me. I tried something that has worked in the past. I flipped to a random passage trying to find solace, or guidance, or a deeper meaning from what my finger lay upon. Instead, I found a psalm, where, basically, God is calling someone out for an insufficient tribute or offering. Not what I had been looking for. By this point, worship pastor Diana Billings was at the front of the church, pulling out names to come on down to be part of the game. It had been a long day at
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says work, and Loughlin was acting up. I knew if her name was called, I would have to go up with her. “Please don’t call us, please don’t call us,” I muttered to myself. “I’m seated in the second row of a church. If God can’t hear me from here…” At that moment, Billings held up a name from the bowl. “Loughlin Devoy!” Oh for crying out loud… But I went up and I’m glad I did. It was a nice daddy-daughter moment, taking part in the game. I had not taken part in the children’s activities (obviously) so some of the questions were complete mysteries to me. I guessed on Loughlin’s behalf when her answer was indecipherable. Then it was time for the lightning round. Question: Five things that first come to mind about the Garden of Eden story? My first answer (apples) I gave to Loughlin. It was right, as was my own answer, a snake. But they were in the bottom of the five possible answers. God, obviously, was the top answer, as were Adam and Eve in the second and third spots. (Seems so obvious to me now – though fully comprehending long division still baffles me.) Loughlin got a little gift card for playing, and I got to act like a clown for my daughter’s amusement. Family makes it all bearable. Going back to Grade 4 again, my father was putting me to bed one evening. It was getting colder as the fall progressed and he could tell I was sad, and lonely on the schoolyard. He did shift work at Air Canada, so, dropping by to play with me during the day was not an option. He had an old brown sweater he used to wear around the house, with a T-shirt underneath. He was trying to make me feel better, and took his sweater off and put it on me. “Wear this outside, sonny boy,” he said. “And pretend you’re playing with me.” I may have worn it to school. But his words were clear. I may not always be physically with you – but I’m always with you. I hope I gave my girls the same feeling of safety as my dad continues to give me, even today.

While kayaking near the Riverside Park beach in Carleton Place last Saturday evening with my sister, I heard a gurgling sound, looked over and saw a child’s hair floating on the surface of the water. I jumped out of the kayak and pulled a little girl from the water, choking and crying. The lifeguards had left for the day, and the child
was in over her head outside the swimming area, by herself! I would like to shout out to all parents, grandparents, caregivers, when you are at any beach, know where your kids are. If they are in the water, you need to be in the water with them. If you cannot touch them, you are too far away! This little girl may have started out playing on the splash pad, or building sand castles, then

moved into the water, unknown to anyone. This was very nearly a tragedy and it could have easily been avoided. If I had been just a few more seconds away, I may not have noticed and her parents would now be arranging her funeral. Debbie McNamee Carleton Place

descendant Frances Moore and her partner Jim Smithson. “We did capture a few things when we were here on our first investigation,” John said. The first piece of evidence shown to the group on Wednesday was a video clip, which was taken in the loft at the beginning of the investigation on Jan. 13. John and OPRI psychic Craig Leafloor were conducting the initial walk-through. “Everyone else was downstairs,” John said. “No one had been upstairs before us.” He revealed a thermal image was captured using the thermal imaging camera. “That chair should not be white,” John explained. “That is heat.” “No one had sat in that chair, but you can clearly see the legs and torso,” he continued. “We are curious about this,” the lead investigator said. “It was a bit of a surprise ... strange to have a heat signature showing up in a chair that no one is sitting in — especially white hot like that. According to OPRI officials, this is unexplained. “I do not want to go all the way and say it is paranormal,” John stated. “However, to see it white hot like that, it would be as if someone was just sitting there 30 seconds previously, and Craig and I were up there longer than that.” The second piece of evidence revealed was a bit questionable. According to John, it sounds a little bit like electrical interference. However, it only happened one time during the evening. “Usually, if we get electrical interference, we get it multiple times, it comes in intervals,” he said. “You do not hear it once in a three-hour recording.” The noise can be heard beneath the voice of an investigator.
“This is one we cannot put our finger on,” John said. “Again, I cannot say it is 100 per cent paranormal.” The third piece of evidence from January’s investigation took place immediately before the event that shocked everyone. Before falling ill, Ida was about to go off to teach at a music school. She was an accomplished pianist. “During our investigation, we attempted to make contact with Ida with an electric keyboard — using it as a trigger object,” John said. “We were hoping she would interact with it,” he continued. “She did!” Using a spirit box, Ida was asked by an investigator: “Ida, what instrument do you like to play?” After a slight pause, the keyboard made a noise. “We all heard it.” John noted. It is something OPRI has not been able to replicate, and because the keyboard was not plugged in there was no power surge. “Something did this,” John stated, and “it happened on cue.” Another thing happened that winter night, and it came to light during the reveal. “Just before the keyboard makes the noise, you hear two voices — a male and female,” John explained. Two EVP devices picked up the voices. One recorder was placed in the loft and other one was located on the main floor. “No” is heard coming from a male voice, which is followed by “yes” from a female voice. “I am impressed,” Frances told the Canadian Gazette. “I do believe she (Ida) is still here.” John noted, not only did Leafloor feel Ida’s presence at the Moore House in January, but he also picked up on a gentleman. An exhibit dedicated to Carleton Place pilot Captain A.
Roy Brown is housed within the Moore House. The First World War flying ace is officially credited with shooting down German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, in the skies over war-torn France on April 21, 1918. While an investigator was using an EMF meter, which looks for spikes in the EMF signal, two framed photos of Brown, both on a table with a number of other items, gave off higher than normal readings. Spikes suggest a change in electrical current, and thus a spirit. “There is potential for him to be lingering around,” John said. Frances wondered if it could be the spirit of Herb Moore. He lived in the house until his sudden death by heart attack in 1952. Herb was a typesetter at the Canadian newspaper. Members of the Moore family were known to have the sixth sense, an ability to perceive the unseen world of angels, ghosts, heaven, auras, etc. On Wednesday, Frances was picking up some strong energy. “I really feel emotional, and I have some tingling,” she said. The very first Moore family home was located behind the old schoolhouse at the corner of Highway 7 and Franktown Road, across from the Kia dealership. Although a fire brought it to the ground, it was replaced. Ida and other members of the Moore family are buried in St. James Anglican Cemetery off the 8th Concession. OPRI has asked to come back to the Moore House later in the summer for a followup investigation. Video and audio recordings from the first and subsequent investigations will be released to the public this fall, on the web series Into the Haunting.

MACLAREN
From page A/CP4
It wasn’t democracy. We’re supposed to be the voice of the common man. That dates back to the Magna Carta (a charter agreed to by King John of England in 1215). That charter gave the power to the common man, that was the start of democracy.” MacLaren cites the caucus discussion on Bill 89, Supporting Children, Youth and Families Act, 2017. During the discussion, MacLaren said there was discussion over confusion over sexual identity and that a parent who provided guidance could have his or her guidance construed as abuse. “We found that particularly offensive,” he said. “The government is going to decide if you are good parents based on the guidance you give and can take away your child.” The caucus decided to vote for the bill, afraid the Liberals would accuse the PCs of being against children, MacLaren said. “The majority Liberals were going to get it passed anyway,” MacLaren said. “Four of us were opposed and wanted to vote against the bill because our constituents were opposed and asked for an open vote.” MacLaren said himself and caucus members Michael Harris, Rick Nicholls and Sam Oosterhoff wanted to vote against the bill. “This created a real problem in caucus,” he said. “This is not a matter of agreeing with the bill or not, but if it should be a whipped vote. A strong leader should have enough confidence
to let people vote their own way and lead his party with their opinions. It didn’t matter to Brown what way we voted on that issue, as long as it was whipped. I didn’t agree with that — that’s not democracy.” MacLaren says the recent Ottawa West-Nepean nomination meeting was another issue that further disillusioned him. He says the party picked favourites, pushed out candidates they didn’t want and the election was marred by “corruption.” “When Brown ran for the leadership bid, I asked him for two things,” MacLaren said. “Open nomination meetings and grassroots policy-making, and he agreed. That’s why I supported him. During the convention in March 2016, Brown announced the party would support a carbon tax. That was crushing news for PC supporters. Caucus did not agree with that. It certainly didn’t come from grassroots policy-making.” Meanwhile, former caucus-mate MPP Lisa McLeod sent a letter on July 5 to Chief Electoral Officer of Ontario Greg Essensa formally requesting his office investigate the fundraising practices of the Trillium party related to a barn dance MacLaren hosted at his farm on June 24. MacLeod wrote, “MPP’s (sic) … who are respecting the ban on attending fundraisers, are concerned with what appears to be a flagrant disregard for the law by MPP MacLaren.” MacLaren says he and his team broke no Elections Financing Act laws.
Jake Davies/Metroland
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren at his constinuency office located in Kanata. “If she had called the chief electoral officer, she would have known no laws were broken,” he said. “Our chief financial officer called before the party to see if we could raffle off four prizes. The barn dance was free to attend. Essensa said ‘no problem, you aren’t breaking any rules’. McLeod tried to discredit me in a very public fashion. She got a lot of negative feedback on that. Essensa never called me or our chief financial officer. There is no issue. Why or who put her up to it, I don’t know. Surely, the PC party didn’t. Lisa will say and do what she’s told — she’s a trusted soldier.” But MacLaren is done with the
PCs and focusing on the Trillium party. He thinks the three-year-old party will be attractive to his constituents and all residents of Ontario. “We respect democracy, we believe in grassroots policy-making,” he said. MacLaren says the party opposes current hydro rates and the recent changes to the sex education act. The party wants to encourage more young people to enter the skilled trades and supports private daycare with regulation. The party supports private property rights. “We’ll take the common sense approach to governance and listen to the people,” MacLaren said. MacLaren says he’s on the same page as Trillium party leader Bob Yaciuk. “The policy ideas are his, as well as the other members’, and I support them,” he said. “He founded this party three years ago for all the same reasons I joined the party on May 24.” Currently, MacLaren is the only sitting member of the Trillium party. “We will run candidates in as many ridings as we can,” he said. “We’re getting calls every day from people looking to run, because they agree with what the party stands for. It’s very exciting.” MacLaren says the time is right for the Trillium party. “Patrick (Brown) is losing supporters for his lack of leadership and ideas,” he said. “People are frustrated with Wynne and high expenses.” He said the much talked about barn dance is proof voters are look-
ing for something different. “I’ve held barn dances for six years,” MacLaren said. “We had more than 250 people at the barn dance. That show people are excited about the party and the constituents support my move. We’re getting phone calls and emails from across the riding and Ontario in support. PC supporters are very disappointed in the way the PCs have moved so far to the middle. There’s no difference between Brown’s PCs and Wynne’s Liberals.” So it’s all systems go, leading up to the June 7, 2018 provincial election. “We’ve got 11 months time to campaign,” MacLaren said. “We know as a new, lesser-known party we have our work cut out for us. We’re underdogs, but we’ve always been underdogs. “ MacLaren says there are a number of strong candidates, including leader Yaciuk, who runs in the NewmarketAurora riding, and Elizabeth Marshall in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound riding. Yaciuk attended MacLaren’s barn dance and MacLaren attended Marshall’s kickoff party a couple of weeks ago. “There’s quite a few other ridings that I am not at liberty to talk about, that we see great potential,” MacLaren said. “Our website is so busy with people wanting to know who the candidate is in their riding because they want to vote for us. I’m thoroughly enjoying myself with my new job. I feel happier and people say I look happier. Some see this as an uphill battle, but I’m looking forward to climbing that hill.”

Herb Garden owners set to retire and sell popular farm by jake davies
jake.davies@metroland.com
Gerry and George are retiring from the Herb Garden. After 13 years of growing the Herb Garden in to a multifaceted business, the couple, Gerry Bedard and D.E. George, have decided it is time to sell the popular farm on Old Almonte Road. The couple, known affectionately as Gerry and George, bought the nearly 15-acre farm from Sharon and Gerry Channer in 2004, got married on the property and grew the business in to a well-known herb garden, wedding destination and special event host. "It has been a lot of hard work, but it’s been a labour of love, it had to be,” George said. “We’ve had marvellous staff who love to learn; however, it’s time for us to move along. There’s a ton of potential here, but the property needs younger energy than we have now.” Both George and her husband Gerry are in their 70s. “It’s been a decision we’ve come to over a couple of years,” George said. “There have been a lot of mixed emotions. It’s just time.” When the couple bought the property, it was already operating as an herb garden. Gerry and George had no real experience in the industry. “They were done and wanted to go travelling,” George said. “So, they took our money and went to South America. Gerry and I had only grown herbs in our garden. Some staff stayed on and showed us the ropes. The Channers, who were driving to South America in their Westphalia van, would stop at internet cafes and reply to our questions. They were wonderfully supportive from thousands of kilometres away.” Gerry and George came from a marketing background. They took over the Herb Garden and also Herbfest, a popular festival featuring music, food, vendors and, of course, herbs. “The original idea was Herbfest would move around to different locations,” George said. “The first year, there was about 1,500 people and they knew it was too big to go anywhere else. We hosted Herbfest for 20 years.” At its peak, Herbfest attracted more than 3,000 visitors. Two years ago, Gerry and George decided it was time to move on from Herbfest. They did not want to end the popular festival and after some negotiations, the festival found a new home in White Lake where it debuted last year. The Herb Garden has become a popular home to other events as well. The scenic spot has hosted a special Mother’s Day brunch for the last 13 years, special sales events
and the Company of Fools, which stages a performance each year on the property. “And then we started to get requests to host weddings here,” George said. So, eight or nine years ago, the couple renovated the large barn on the property (other out buildings on site had already been renovated). “Neil Hartwig, a great guy came in and did the support and floor,” George said. “Since then we’ve been booked almost every weekend for
weddings. We got at least three inquiries a day. We’ve got bookings all the way in to 2018. We’re very do it yourself. We rent the property and the wedding planners bring everything in. People like that, making it very much their own wedding.” But George did eventually become involved in the wedding business. “Several years ago, I became a celebrant,” she said. “I now marry some couples here. It’s fun, it’s a lovely time.”
George says that has been one of the highlights, of many, of owning the Herb Garden. “It’s obviously a happy time,” she said. “All our couples have been calm and cool. When I stop and think about it, that has been lovely, lovely stuff. I learned my lesson. I now make sure I have plenty of Kleenex — I’ve been caught a few times.” Despite the wonderful memories, the couple already have future plans firmly in place. They have a home in
the Town of Almonte ready to move in to. A trip to Australia to visit Gerry’s brother is already scheduled. “I love Almonte,” George said. “I’m looking forward to getting my bike out. Neither Gerry or I am concerned we are going to be bored.” The couple also know what the Herb Garden needs in a new owner. “What this place needs is someone who wants to continue the wedding business,” George said.

Annual ‘King Billy’ July 12th parade marks Canada 150, 500th anniversary of Protestant Reformation by desmond devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
King Billy has once again strode the streets of Carleton Place — albeit sidestepping Lake Avenue construction. The annual July 12th pa-
rade, commemorating the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in 1690, when the forces of the Protestant King William of Orange defeated the forces of the Catholic King James II in County Meath, was held in Carleton Place this past
Wednesday, starting at the arena on Neelin Street. Orange Lodges from across eastern Ontario, from as far away as Renfrew County and Morrisburg, joined in the march, which went from the arena to downtown’s Bridge
Street, and back. The parade, in years past, has gone down Lake Avenue to get to the downtown core, but had to be diverted this year because of ongoing construction work on the road. Traditionally, at Orange parades in years past, an actor has portrayed the Dutch King William, who, it is said, rode atop a white charger horse. This year, however, organizers were unable to secure a horse — of any colour — for
the evening, but young Royden Staye, 6, of Arnprior, was able to dress up as “King Billy,” and marched in the parade, wooden sword in hand. (There had been a worship service and wreath-laying earlier in the day, as well as a roast beef dinner. There was a dance after the parade in the arena’s upper hall.) The parade not only paid tribute to the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, it also marked the 500th
anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of Wittenberg Castle church on Halloween, 1517. This is marked by many as the beginning of the split within the Catholic Church that began the Protestant movement. Founded in Ireland, the Orange Lodge, a fraternal Protestant organization, was established in Canada in 1830. With files from Tara Gesner

Provincial Policing Act changes likely to act as ‘carrot’ for provincial vote: Hillier by desmond devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Local MPP Randy Hillier believes that provincial policing changes could be brought in by Christmas. “We are the better part of a year away from seeing the changes enacted,” said Neil Fennell, chair of the Lanark County association of police services boards (PSB) at the quarter-
ly meeting in the board room of the Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place on Wednesday, June 28. (The next Ontario provincial election is slated to be held on or before June 7, 2018.) Fennell said he was frustrated following a regional police services board meeting in Quinte West this past spring where there was supposed to be a presentation on changes to the
Police Services Act of Ontario, and he charged that “we went away with more questions than answers. (There was) very little of substance (that was) offered up.” Hillier, the MPP for LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington, made a partisan joke that “whenever I speak to the Liberal government, I walk away with more questions than answers.”
As of right now, he said “we can only speculate,” as to what the Wynne Liberals will propose to change the act, though some hints have been dropped along the way. “The government will not telegraph any changes until they are ready to table it,” Hillier said. While leaks are not uncommon around Queen’s Park, “the legislature must be the first to see,” any proposed legislation changes.
Phone: 613-256-2064 • 1-888-779-8666
Even so, the changes are “not cast in stone.” He noted that the Liberals are possibly in the last year of their mandate and “it will be tabled earlier rather than later,” he said, likely when the legislature resumes sitting in the fall.

attended the same meeting in Quinte West as Fennell and that it was her understanding that ‘they intend to introduce the legislation in September.” To this, Hillier replied that “whatever you hear from another politician, you take with a grain of salt,” but he agreed that “it just makes sense,” to introduce it this fall, although, with a Liberal majority, “they can pass a piece of legislation in a day if they so wanted to.” Later in the meeting, Hillier claimed that he predicted that any policing changes could see third reading by this December, and that “it’ll be dangling as a carrot for next year’s election.” Hillier said he has met with Appeal Court Justice Michael Tulloch, in his capacity as the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party’s attorney general critic. Tulloch authored the Independent Police Oversight Review, a “report into police oversight in Ontario,” which made 129 recommendations
this past spring. “He (Tulloch) has been critical of a number of elements of PSBs,” said Hillier. It is his understanding that the provincial government may be looking at a more “United Kingdom model,” of policing, where “every county has an elected police and crime commissioner,” with the exception of major metropolitan areas like London and Manchester. Despite his admitted “partisan,” and “cynical” view, when it comes to governance and accountability, he hopes that the province will “get it right.” What he does not want to see is an “overly proscriptive process, rather than allowing good people to come to a decision,” to not “unduly constrain good people … where perfection becomes the enemy of the good,” but to follow their own good judgment. County PSB amalgamations One ongoing discussion at the county PSB association level is the possibility of a countywide merger of PSBs, which would be covered as one
of the changes to the act. Fennell reminded the assembled that there are several PSBs across the county, including a CPAC (Community Policing Advisory Committee) in Mississippi Mills, or Drummond/ North Elmsley Township, which has neither form of committee or board. “There has been quite a bit of conversation,” about possible amalgamation, said Fennell. “The remedy may be a countywide PSB … I have some concerns. (But) maybe that’s the best and most realistic way.” Carleton Place Fire Chief Les Reynolds was blunt in his assessment: “It’ll be shocking if they don’t go with a board that line up with the detachments.” But he wondered, “how do you structure it so that everybody is represented?” Reynolds asked. Even with provincial appointees to PSBs in the room, Reynolds added that “I’ve never seen the need for provincial appointees on the board,” why the province needs a representative on a local board. The application process for provincial appointees has proven
to be aggravating for all involved. “(It) causes no end of grief as you wait for the province to appoint someone,” said Reynolds. “I believe it is inappropriate for the province to appoint someone,” said Hillier. “I don’t think they have a valid role in that.” Towaij said that she has been a council, community, and provincial appointee on PSBs, and “there is no difference when you are on a board,” but as a provincial appointee, what “you have to go through is enormous … it is very cumbersome. As a provincial appointee, I’m glad not to have provincial appointees.” She added that “having community appointees is key.” Perth’s PSB chair, Coun. Jim Graff, pointed out that Eric Halpin has been waiting nearly two years to have his application approved. “It goes beyond the point of ridiculous,” said Graff. “The community knows this man better than the provincial government.” “It’s not a good system, even
though good people get through,” said Hillier. Hillier added that, when it comes to amalgamation, “this government has an appetite for consolidation,” with everything from medical systems to Children’s Aid Societies. Hillier said he was not too concerned with a single, countywide PSB, “as long as they do it willingly,” at the local level, but he does not want the province to impose a single board on the county. He conceded that his own party, when it was in office from 1995 to 2003, was “big into consolidation and amalgamation a few years ago … and the sky did not fall.” The province’s appetite for amalgamation might not end with PSBs, however. “I think (the proposed changes) that will lead to a round of regionalization of the fire services,” he said. Mississippi Mills Coun. Denzil Ferguson said that some counties are already merging their PSBs into one countywide entity, in a pre-emptive move.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Tales from a quieter place penned this week by the Troubadour "I have at last come home. "And now realize that 'home' is not a place, but rather it lies deep within the heart. And the heart rests deep within God himself. "Set the captives free! "Scatter them into the wind. "Skywards they softly rise, "So now all shall live again." No doubt these words have been written and appeared in print many times and in various forms before but lately, for me, they have found new meaning. Having spent much time in hospital recently, there has been opportunity to reflect upon such things. And being one who has always thought a lot and considered life; these thoughts are not new but only enhanced. They are being lived out "for real" in other words. One discovers much about oneself while spending many days in bed. One also discovers much about others while spending time this way. So many reactions, expressions,
Lyle Dillabough performs during his sold-out ‘The Last of the Good Years’ show last November at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. The Last of the Good Years is also the name of a recent book penned by Dillabough.
Tales from the Troubadour LYLE DILLABOUGH
words and statements are made or withheld. The thing that becomes evermore apparent when an individual "slows down" is just how busy and faster everyone else seems to be going. Everyone seems to be in such a big hurry these days. Life keeps speeding up. But why the rush? What's the hurry? Where is it all going and why all this urgency? With our ever growing and constant demand for more and more "stuff," the unquenchable need for even more never appears to get fulfilled. The push is on, the deadline moved up and plans are moving forward.
File photo
But where is it all going? The true question is ... Is it a case of moving ahead or simply a matter of running away? As losses mount, choices, decisions and desires withheld; it all boils down to this.
What remains? Not, what can be obtained. This is where the rubber ultimately hits the road. And, no matter who one thinks they are or believe themselves to be, limitations will reveal the truth in
the end. So, no matter whether one is active or still, this basic question needs to be asked. Is it satisfying? Does it seem right? Where is the joy? And, does this road way really lead home? Our days and time are truly precious indeed! How we choose to spend them will determine the outcome. And what kind of outcome that will be. Looking at my own past, present and future, the clearer it all becomes and it's simply as previously stated. "What one contributes to life is far more significant then what one can obtain." Or, the song which I've yet to be sing will be even better then the one which was previously played. And so the road leads on ...

Marilyn Edith Hartley
KilpatricK
Douglas Menzies
January 13, 1930 - June 24, 2017 Peacefully at the age of 87 years in the Smiths Falls District Hospital. Deeply beloved husband for 60 years of the late M. Ann Kilpatrick (Mainse). Cherished father of James Kilpatrick (Amy), Michael Kilpatrick (Robin) and Peggy Travis (Stephen). Proud grandfather of Brian Travis, Michael Travis and Matthew Travis. Son of Jessie and Fred Kilpatrick. Brother of the late Donald Kilpatrick, survived by sister Mary Scheufler. Born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, Doug spent his youth perfecting his swimming stroke at the high school pool, and learning leadership, and how to march, with the local army cadets. Queen’s University was his alma mater, and where he met Ann. Ann Mainse and Douglas Kilpatrick were married in 1956 in Kingston, Ontario, in an evening ceremony. Doug’s career in the Royal Canadian Artillery was cut short after suffering an injury which led to an early discharge. The skills learned in the military led him to teaching and he enjoyed a long career of correcting math exams and patrolling the halls of various high schools. First in Sutton West for 8 great years, and then moving to Smiths Falls in 1968, initially as the head of the Math department for 3 years and then Vice Principal for 3 further years. In 1974 he was appointed Principal of Almonte and District High School and stayed for 9 happy years. In 1983 his final position was leading the students and staff, as Principal, of Carleton Place High School. He found this a challenging position that ultimately led to the creation of the motto “Be There. Be Positive.” This motto, used to great success in helping the school “turn the corner” (by 1988-89 the school came either first or second in all county academic and athletic competitions) and is now the name of an award given yearly to the deserving student who exemplifies this enthusiastic attitude of winning. Summers were spent at the family cottage where he loved to cut and stack firewood in “the woods” and where he taught every kid that came along to water ski, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Retirement years were spent volunteering with many local community groups such as Meals On Wheels, Lanark County Interval House, United Church Young Heritage Leaders, and many others... He was named Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year in 2008. He was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012. He greatly enjoyed working with the “Lest We Forget Project Foundation”, which provided support to students and charitable organizations who studied and honoured the service of the fallen Canadians from the World Wars in order to preserve their memories. One of his greatest honours, for many years, was the reading of “In Flanders Fields”, for the Royal Canadian Legion, at the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies in Smiths Falls. A Service to Celebrate the Life of Douglas Menzies Kilpatrick will be held Saturday July 22nd, 2017 gathering at 1:30 p.m. at Trinity Smiths Falls United Church, Market Street at Russell Street, Smiths Falls, Ontario. In memoriam donations may be made to the: Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation www.sfchfoundation.com Trinity Smiths Falls United Church Memorial Fund www.trinityunitedsf.ca Canadian Red Cross www.redcross.ca

Sept. 7, 1945 – Jul 23, 2015 He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries, Went unspoken too. He was there – a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife. Lovingly remembered Mary, Rodger, Scott, Cynthia and their families.

In Memoriam MELANSON, Donald Alexander In loving memory of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather who passed away July 19, 2014. BECKETT, Omar John October 21, 1923 – July 18, 2011 In loving memory of a wonderful husband and father. Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just to the end of his days, Sincere and kind in heart and mind, What a beautiful memory he left behind. Always missed, Beryl, Girls and Family
We do not need a special day To bring you to our mind, For the day’s we do not think of you Are very hard to find. If all this world were ours to give, We’d give it, yes and more, To see the face of Don dear Come smiling through the door.

IN MEMORIAM
AINSWORTH, Josie - In memory of our beautiful niece who passed away July 15, 2013. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. Forever loved and missed. Aunt Sarah, Uncle Paul and cousin Cade
Love Norma Lorna, Pat, MacKenzie and Allison Quinn Adam, Alex, Fraser and Hazel Melanson
