Veteran wing at Arnprior campus of Willis College named after Joan Bray BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The new veteran wing of Willis College in Arnprior has been officially named the Joan Bray Veteran Learning Centre. Bray, a Second World War veteran and longtime resident of Carleton Place, will travel to Arnprior on Aug. 8 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Always one to shy away from the glare of publicity, Bray, immediately wanted to know: “Why me?” and “How did they find me?” “It was imperative for us to find a veteran from the area, especially a female veteran who would suit the naming of the new wing,” Willis College intake co-ordinator Dan Planetta told the Canadian Gazette on June 15, during a visit to Bray’s home. “Women have always had a deep impact on our services.” After reading a story about Bray online, Planetta submitted her name to the national director of the Veteran Friendly Transition Program (VFTP), Lt.-Gen (retired) Walter Semianiw. “He later came into my office, put her file on my desk and exclaimed ‘that’s our girl’,” Planetta said with a smile. “To find her in Carleton Place was a dream.” Lt.-Gen (retired) Andrew Leslie announced the VFTP on March 23 on Parliament Hill.

Seeking input on Lanark County's economic development plan Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, Lanark County and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are leading an economic development strategic planning process for the county and are seeking input from stakeholders. This county-wide partnership initiative is driven by all municipalities in Lanark County and economic development stakeholders throughout the wider region. Since the process began in May, the leadership team has met twice and numerous meetings with smaller working groups have taken place. Currently the process has engaged 41 representatives from every municipality in the county. “We have met our initial milestones toward our goal of developing a roadmap for future economic development programs and services for the county, which can also be used by the individual municipalities,” explains Stacie Lloyd, Regional Economic Development Officer for Valley Heartland. Lanark County Bill Dobson says
he is enthusiastic about the process. “It is great to have the collaboration of every one of the municipalities in Lanark County, along with economic development stakeholder advisory groups in the wider region of Smiths Falls and North Leeds. By working together we will ensure a strong future for our businesses and residents.” Stakeholder groups include economic development committees, chambers of commerce, BIAs, educational and healthcare organizations, and business community representatives. “Now we are seeking high-level information from the stakeholders,” Lloyd said. “We are asking them to complete a questionnaire to provide input on the things that make Lanark County a great place to live, work and play, and on actions that could be taken to improve Lanark County.” The questionnaire can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/ r/5PKFV2H until Aug. 14. Initial meetings set the foundation for the process and how each com-
munity will contribute to the collaborative plan. Participants have been delving into the demographics and economy of the county to consider local industry sectors, workforce, strengths and future opportunities in economic develop. Lloyd explains two working groups
were formed to continue the analysis and engage Economic Development Stakeholder Advisory Groups to provide insight into the collaboration. “We want to ensure key priorities from existing municipal and regional plans are incorporated into the process.”
Updates on the strategic planning process can be found at http:// valleycfdc.com/strategic-planning/. For more information, contact Lloyd at 613-283-7002 ext. 106 or e-mail EcDev@valleycfdc.com. Submitted by Lanark County

United Way Lanark County and 3M Canada backpack drive returns Once again, our local 3M Canada Perth plants are stepping up to run a Backpack Drive to collect school supplies and donations for local youth in Lanark County. With the new school year just over a month away, there will still be kids returning without the supplies they need to achieve their full potential. Unfortunately, not all families are able to afford this traditional purchase. “Over the past 2 years, 3M and the community were able to fill 50 backpacks for kids in our community,” says Kate Hallas, Resource Development Officer for United Way Lanark County. “The company and its employees continue to show initiative and drive to help those in need in our community, and we are so grateful for their support and willingness to bring awareness to local issues. 3M has been both a long-time, and one of our largest, supporters through corporate and employee donations – they exemplify true community spirit.” Employees of 3M will be donating supplies and cash to the drive, and invites the public to participate as well. “At 3M we are proud to be part of this community initiative. We are honoured to participate in such a worthwhile event,” says Allyson McIntyre, Human Resources Manager at 3M Perth. The following locations will accept
donations of new backpacks and unopened items from the community during their regular opening hours: • 3M Perth (2 Craig Street, Perth) – Inside building 301; • United Way Lanark County (15 Bates Drive, Carleton Place); • YAK Youth Centre (1 Sherbrooke Street East, Perth); • Lanark Highlands Youth Centre (61 Princess Street, Lanark); • Carleton Place & District Youth Centre (360 Edmund Street, Carleton Place); • Smiths Falls & District Centre for Youth (41 Main Street West, Smiths Falls); and, • Mississippi Mills Youth Centre (134 Main Street, Almonte). “This year, we would like to continue our focus on Grade 9 to 12,” explains Hallas. Every year, Connections (program that supports families in the healthy growth and development of young children through cooperative efforts involving families, services and communities) continues to collect requests and referrals from others like Lanark Community Programs, Family & Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville, and individuals throughout Lanark County. Their program provides supplies for children in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12, with a focus on the younger age groups. “Connections will be supplying over

COMMENTARY Have we reached peak Trudeau?
I
t’s easy to love Justin Trudeau. It’s easy to hate Justin Trudeau. He’s polarizing, not in a way that, say, Stephen Harper or Mike Harris were. But you either really dislike him, or believe him to be the second coming. Or you want to like him personally, but don’t jive with how he’s running things. This past week, it all came to a head when he graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. And when you saw it, you either swooned or wretched. Or shook your head. Granted, it was an American take on Trudeau, a “Why can’t he be our leader?” contrast with Donald Trump. (They even called the RCMP the Royal Canadian Mountain Police in an early draft ... whoops!) Now, to be fair, other world leaders are more than capable of making complete fools of themselves, too. Ireland’s new leader, Leo Varadkar, went all fanboy on Justin on July 4 in Dublin when he proudly showed off his maple leaf socks for him, like a younger brother seeking big bro’s approval. Varadkar, in his first meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May, pointed to the spot at 10
Downing St. in London where Hugh Grant had done his dance routine in the 2003 movie Love, Actually. (“Cop yourself on, Leo,” Ireland’s answer to The Onion, Waterford Whispers, wrote.) Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been going around topless in the summertime for years now. On the one hand, who cares if Trudeau introduces a music act on Canada Day wearing a Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy T-shirt? On the other hand, while there is a lot of spectacle and performance to be had in politics - and few do it better than Trudeau he is a fallible being who had let us down on many fronts (proportional representation, a muddy foreign policy, Omar Khadr, sky-high deficits.) One of the more damning lines about Trudeau’s cover story came from a Vancouver cartoonist, J.J. McCullough, writing in The Washington Post, who said, “It is the luxury of foreigners to treat politics of other countries as parable, entertainment, or escapist fantasy. Actually living in a country run by a social media celebrity is a lot less fun.”
Father’s idea ended in Mary and family running for cover
M
other said Father was playing with fire, and as it turned out, he was. It had to do with the constant annoyance of mosquitoes, which invaded us every summer. There was nothing we liked better at the end of a day, than to escape the heat of the house and move our kitchen chairs out in the backyard, and sit a spell as the night closed in around us. Mother would play her mouth organ, and my sister Audrey would sing, and off in the distance we might hear the frogs. My brother Everett, who could whistle better than anyone in Northcote, when coached would join Mother and Audrey. If you weren’t sitting on a kitchen chair, you were on a

blanket on the ground, and since I was scared in the dark, I would sit as close to Mother as possible. We wouldn’t be out there more than a few minutes when one after the other of us would be swatting our arms and bare legs, hoping to connect with the horde of mosquitoes laying in wait for us. Soon Mother would say, “Enough of this, those blessed mosquitoes are eating us alive.” Then one night Father said he had an idea, and he vanished into the drive shed and lit the lantern. We had no idea what he was up to, but we could hear the hammer, and soon we could smell coal oil. We could faintly see his outline when he came out of the drive shed with
whoosh, like many people taking a big breath at the same time, and the whole thing burst into flames, and pieces of the feed bags flew everywhere. The fire lit up the entire area, including the barn yard, and
the lantern in one hand and a long piece of wood wrapped at one end with piles of feed bags. And it reeked to high heaven of coal oil. Father told us to put our chairs in a circle, and once we settled down, he took a match from his pocket, scraped it along the thigh of his overalls, and touched the match to the coal oil soaked bags on the end of the piece of wood. It sounded like a huge

the coal oil which had dripped down the piece of wood, set it on fire too, and those sitting on the kitchen chairs knocked them over trying to get away from the flames which I was sure were going to burn down

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Reader: Khadr had no right to claim charter of rights protections DEAR EDITOR:
Mr. Long’s letter, ‘Reader supports Khadr settlement,’ was decidedly one-sided. In it he determined that all evidence and factors that justified an award of $10.5 million to Mr. Khadr were factual whereas all that detracted from it were mere suppositions. Three factors stand out in this regard. They were the claim that young Omar was a “child soldier”, that his “due process” Charter rights were infringed upon and
that he was “tortured” while imprisoned in Guantanamo. Mr. Khadr was plucked from a foreign battlefield and was subject to the international laws of war – not the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In accordance with the related conventions in place at the time of his capture, Mr. Khadr was not a “child” soldier. At best, he could be considered a “youth” at the time of his capture but still eligible for treatment as an adult given the nature and severity of his crimes. Additionally, he could not be
considered a “soldier” under these same conventions as he was an “unlawful enemy combatant.” As such, he could not even be considered to be a “Prisoner of War” but, rather, an irregular subject to trial by military tribunal. Canada, as a signatory to the Geneva Conventions that informed Khadr’s treatment, was neither obliged nor authorized to extend Charter protections to Khadr whilst he was an American captive. Indeed, related Canadian Forces’ doctrine dictates that the interrogation of combatants, unlawful
or not, shall always be conducted as if the subject had Prisoner of War status. It is important to note that this status does not afford the prisoner a right to have a lawyer present during such interrogations. In the matter of torture, this same doctrine is adamant that a prisoner not be subjected to “unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment”. At the same time, however, it requires that allegations of ill-treatment be supported by evidence that establishes proof of such “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Allegations of torture in Khadr’s case were floated by an affidavit that originated with the Khadr legal team. These allegations were investigated by the military judge, Patrick J. Parrish, who determined that no evidence After the cynical cruelty with rule of law, we need to protect those existed to support the numerous accusations. All this to say there was which this still-young man has been values. no basis to conclude that Khadr was the treated, he deserves a chance to move Thank you for speaking out. on and make a life for himself.

us. We didn’t need a lantern to see our way. When we got inside, and Mother lit the lamp, we saw that Father’s straw hat was minus its front brim, and his face was blackened with soot. He went right to the wash basin on the bench at the back door. Mother was determined that none of us should go to bed until the fire was out, but Father said it would burn itself out, and we had nothing to worry about. Mother wasn’t so sure. He was right of course. It didn’t take long for the feed bags to burn down. As for sitting out on a summer evening, that was the end of that. The mosquitoes
won the battle. All that remained of Father’s idea was a half burnt stick of wood, a brown pile of burnt feed bags, and the smell of coal oil which lingered in the backyard for days. And just to remind us of Father’s attempt to rid us of the summer plague of mosquitoes was a circle of burnt grass right in the middle of the backyard.

target of mistreatment. This assessment was reinforced when video evidence was uncovered that proved Khadr took part in the building and implanting of Improvised Explosive Devices. It was at this point that Khadr refused to take the stand and subject his claims of torture to cross examination. It was also at this point that he confessed to his crimes. At the end of the day, Khadr was an unlawful enemy combatant who confessed his crimes due to the evidence against him – not because he was tortured. He had no right to claim Charter protections and should have been prosecuted for treason upon his return to Canada. The fact that he was not was a disservice to Canada and those charged with her defense. Major (Ret’d) Russ Cooper Carleton Place

New manager for Perth Best Western Plus with new ideas The Perth Best Western Plus Parkside Inn and Spa welcomes new general manager, Dale Gagne. He comes to the area from Pembroke, where he was the GM for the Best Western there for 10 years. “I love it here,” he said. “Perth is a great town. I have visited here many times in the past.” He said he jumped at the chance to work here. The personable manager said he looks forward to the day he can move to Perth, as he has his Victorian home for sale in Pembroke. Gagne said he’s impressed with the Perth hotel and hopes to create an even broader scope of perks that guests will enjoy once they come to town. “I want to reach out to international guests, and we’ve been working with the Ontario H i g h l a n d ’s To u r i s m Organization to attract t h o s e tourists,” he said. One possible option is LeBoat. Le Boat, a
Dale Gagne - General Manager
multi-million dollar luxury self-guided tour boat company will set up headquarters on the Rideau Canal in Smiths Falls in the spring of 2018. Gagne is looking forward to working with the Ontario Highlands Tourism Organization and Le Boat to do so. “We’re in preliminary stages with this plan and I’m really looking forward to see what options there are,” Gagne said. There are ‘Stay-and-Play’ packages offered to customers, where they book a stay at the hotel and play a round of golf. There are several golf courses in the area with whom the hotel collaborates to offer guests even more options during their stay-over in Perth. “We’re going to be working with Perth Outfitters and offer a new package, Parkside and Paddle,” he said. This option will allow guests the opportunity to have some outdoor fun at Perth Outfitters, which offers paddling, mini-golf and a trail used as a skating rink in winter, and go-kart or pedal bike path during the summer. Guests to the Best Western Plus hotel will notice the addition of Slackoni’s Parkside Bistro and the biggest patio in Perth, which overlooks the street to the front and the Tay Canal to the side. The intimate space is secluded and will host a series of outdoor music during the summer months. On Fridays there will be live music on the patio, and on Thursday – once a month – there will be jazz artists performing inside the restaurant. This pairs nicely with the addition of the Slackoni’s Bistro where guests and the public in general can come and dine. Celebrating five years since the hotel’s rebirth in 2012, the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn
and Spa has received several awards during that time. The awards received includes: The Best Western Champion Award, the Chairman’s Award, and the Certificate of Excellence – Diamond Rating from Trip Advisor, and the Green Hotel Champion Award. “We’re on par for the Best Western Champion Design Award,” Gagne said. “This is a prestigious award and we’re eligible this year because we are in the top 20 per cent of Best Western Hotels across Canada.” Gagne said he hopes to entice more week night travellers to stop at the hotel for an evening’s stay. He would like to see more weddings booked, as Perth is known as one of the top wedding venues in Ontario. “I’d like to see more conference business and spa packages too,” he said, as guests can enjoy the comfort and perks of a spa treatment at the Parkside Inn and Spa. Complete with Aveda beauty products, the spa and hair salon is a full service wellness destination, said Barb Hands, manager of the Parkside Inn and Spa. Guests can enjoy the luxury of a sip and spa menu which includes a massage and a nice glass of Merlot; a foot-cure and a beer, or even martini and a pedicure. With an indoor pool, hot tub and spa, private massage rooms for couples, it’s a perfect honeymoon destination. “We really want this to be a four-season destination hotel,” Gagne said. “And by partnering with local businesses and tourism associations we hope to achieve that goal in the coming years.”

Rideau Lakes Township will take part in Open Doors Aug. 19 and 20 STAFF
If you haven’t been inside the UNESCO heritage lockmaster’s building along the Rideau Canal, or the revamped Opinicon in Chaffey’s Lock, or inside the stately William Bell House in Delta, then now is the chance to have a look. Rideau Lakes Township is gearing up for Doors Open Aug. 19 and 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with 18 stops along the way. It's part of Doors Open Ontario, under Ontario Heritage Trust. Why not make a day of it and spend your afternoon travelling the scenic roads throughout the township?

EAT IT!
Choose foods produced organically, locally and in season. Support your regional farmers and farming industry: buying locally and in season is better for the environment than buying foods that have been shipped hundreds of kilometers to your local market.
Stops include Barnyard Gardens in Portland. Originally, two brothers farmed these 100 acres; one family farm was located behind the other with a laneway leading to the back farm. This laneway forms an integral part of the studding gardens that now surround the 1885 home and the barn, which was built in the 1940s. This property is located at 9139 County Road 42. The Opinicon, located at 1697 Chaffey’s Lock Road in Elgin, has been lovingly restored by new owners. Beloved by generations of anglers and vacationers, this iconic resort has undergone substantial upgrades while
maintaining its original early- and mid-20th century charm. Take an inside tour at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and hear the stories behind this gem of the Rideau. If you plan to stay for lunch, it’s recommended you make reservations. Wykes Boat Works in Harlem, located at 2551 Harlem Road will have award-winning boat works on display. In the 1950s, Frank Wykes began making pine plank, flat-bottomed fishing boats for local tourism operators. Come see this third generation family business that is still crafting new boats and restoring antique wooden vessels – many of which are displayed at boat shows throughout North America.

City Stream Watch targets Upper Carp, Huntley creeks for potential flooding Two creeks in the City of Ottawa are the focus of this year’s City Stream Watch program. Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority staff, summer students and volunteers have spent the month of July obtaining, recording and managing valuable information on the physical and biological characteristics of Upper Carp and Huntley creeks. “The goal of City Stream Watch
is to ensure creeks and streams in the City of Ottawa are respected and valued natural features of the communities through which they flow,” said Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) biologist Kelly Stiles. “We’ve targeted 2.2 km of Upper Carp Creek and 15 km of Huntley Creek. The data collected will help identify any changes in the quality and quantity of water resources in the
area over the long term and help target future stewardship efforts.” Monitoring also allows for staff and volunteers to take note of other factors that affect the creeks, such as invasive species. “We have noticed a lot of Himalayan balsam along Carp Creek, as well as poison parsnip. "Huntley is much more diverse, but we’ve had instances of rusty cray-
fish, buckthorn, poison parsnip and purple loosestrife,” said MVCA summer student Robyn Chatwin-Davies. “Removal of invasive species is slated for later this summer including Himalayan balsam along Upper Carp Creek and dog-strangling vine along Shirley’s Brook.” MVCA is part of the City Stream Watch Collaborative formed in 2014 that consists of dedicated environ-
mental organizations, including Rideau Valley and South Nation conservation authorities and other interested groups. Logging 82 hours already this summer, volunteers are an integral part of the program’s success. To become a volunteer or for more information, contact Kelly Stiles at 613-253-0006 ext. 234 or email kstiles@mvc.on.ca.

Seeking new sites for 1000 Islands, Rideau Canal Garden Trail The garden trail selection committee for the 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal is looking to include more gardens in its nationally recognized garden trail. Building on its Canada 150 Garden Experience recognition, the committee is looking to expand its existing 14 gardens throughout Leeds Grenville. “The gardens that are currently on the trail have been chosen for their beauty, uniqueness and great design,” says Laurie Wight, chair of the garden trail selection committee. “Our goal is to educate visitors and leaving them wanting to see more in the region.” The garden trail members enjoy meeting and exchanging garden ideas with visitors from across North America and beyond. The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Economic Development Office works with the trail members in promoting the experience.
“Gardens are considered to be either key motivators for travelling, and enhancements for a destination,” says Ann Weir, economic development manager. “Visitors typically go for a meal afterwards or do some shopping, bringing new revenues into the region.“ A mix of private, public and garden centre displays are part of the garden trail. These include: • Diane & Keith Haskins • Gardens of Gananoque, Gananoque • Wilstead Manor Gardens, Leeds and the Thousand Islands • Ivy Lea Club, Lansdowne • Chillane Gardens, Mallorytown • Garden of Hope and Faith Walk, Lyn • Fulford Place, Brockville • Maitland Garden of Hope, Maitland • Van Berlo Gardens, Maitland
• Shakespeare’s Gardens, Prescott • Healing Circle Labyrinth, Johnstown • Machal Gardens, Spencerville • A Labour of Love, Oxford Station • Rideau Woodland Ramble, North Grenville A brochure and map with details on the 1000 Islands and Rideau Canal Garden Trail can be found at www. gardentrail.1000islandsand
rideaucanal.com. Gardens interested in participating in next year’s trail can check out the trail’s criteria online or contact Laurie Wight at 613-923-5799 or email lauriewight@hotmail.com. Brochures are also available at participating sites and various tourism centres throughout the region. Submitted by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville

A brand-new, 2,400 year old musical at Full Circle Theatre When a young playwright named Aristophanes watched the very first performance of his satirical play Lysistrata on a spring day in Athens, Greece in 411 B.C., he had no idea that it would be adapted into a musical comedy and performed in Perth, Ontario in 2017. Mostly because he had no idea that anything west of Italy existed. Nevertheless, Perth's BarnDoor Productions has taken his 2,400 year old comedy and turned it into a fast, funny, tuneful, more than a little shocking and thoroughly entertaining musical. Their new musical comedy adaptation will reach the stage at Full Circle Theatre next week, and it's a rip-roaring finale to the group's 22nd
season. Way back then, Greece was in the middle of a thirty year war between Athens and Sparta. Aristophanes' play was intended as a cautionary tale to try to bring peace back to "Helles," as Greece called itself at the time. He imagined a strong and clever woman named Lysistrata (pronounced simply "Liss-iss-straw-taw" by the way; nothing fancy) who persuades all the women in Greece to join her in a protest against the war. All they have to do is refuse sex to their husbands and the men will have to give in. Oh, and they take over the Acropolis and lock themselves in to accomplish it. BarnDoor Productions has brought together a cast of nearly twenty to
bring this new-old story to life. From BDP veterans to BDP newcomers to people on stage for the first time in their lives, it's a mix of enthusiasm and experience that keeps the show fast and funny and fun. Combined with a set of all-original costumes, it's a big, colourful, music-filled show. Like the script and costumes, the music for this show is all original and it ranges from Broadway-style jazz numbers to adaptations of a couple of songs that actually date back to the time of Aristophanes' original production. The show opens with a big chorus number (gee, a Greek play opening with a big chorus; who'd have thought?) extolling the virtues of "Athens — in the weird old, strange
old classical days"; the women explain Lysistrata's Plan, with a chorus that concludes "They cannot stand for long, if they have to stand for long"; the Entrance of the Chorus shows Aristophanes' clever theatrical innovation — a chorus split into two choruses and arguing with each other; Lysistrata then puts the men in their political place with Shut Your Mouth — We'll Mind Your Business before Lysistrata sings a lament for her husband, away at war, which is based on the oldest known complete song. In the second act, the two choruses tell about their personal heroes in O, Melanion; one of Lysistrata's rebellious women teases her husband into agreeing to a peace treaty in Baby, I'm Not
Saying I Don't Love You; Lysistrata and the women tell the politicians how to make peace in My Mama Never ... and the whole company rejoice for the peace that is finally concluded with Io Paean, a Greek phrase which actually means "Joy To The World." Oh, and there's lots more music in and around those numbers. We'll give everyone fair warning: this is based on a 2,428 year old play that deals with sex. It was intentionally outrageous back in 411 B.C. — it's intentionally outrageous today. And maybe shocking. And definitely hugely funny. And has maybe just a little message in it that would be very good for everyone to hear today. Did we mention that it's funny?

Recent letter on ignitions and gears continues to draw responses “Hi Brian, I read all of your columns in the Almonte Canadian Gazette. I was very interested in the recent ones pertaining to the Mazda problem of turning their vehicle off while still in drive (transmission shifter). So I thought I would see what would happen doing the same thing with my 2016 Kia Sportage. First, I was amazed that it did turn the engine off. The radio stayed on and a small icon of a vehicle with a key lit up on the dash. The chime did ring when I opened the door. My driveway slopes down to the street and the vehicle immediately started rolling backwards down the driveway. My back up camera is off and I cannot see if anyone is behind me. To me, this is a safety hazard.
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
If this situation is the same with other makes, maybe it should be raised with Transport Canada.” Thank you, PB Thanks for the readership and comments. It's interesting that Mazda and Kia (along with Transport Canada and the US's NHTSA –National Highway Traffic and Safety Association) found these configurations safe (they approved them after all), yet Jeep recalled some of their late model
SUV's and Ram pick-ups that were equipped with rotary dial transmission shifters and push-button starters. That recall involved reprogramming a number of on-board computers to automatically shift the transmission to park if the ignition was turned off without first shifting to park, or if the door was opened without the brake pedal being depressed and without the shifter knob in park. Of course all that happened after a young actor in Hollywood was killed by his Jeep when it rolled back and pinned him against a pillar. That type of software update wouldn't be available to vehicles with normal gear-lever shifters as there's no electrical way to shift the lever to park without some major redesign. But keep in mind for decades you
could switch off any key-operated ignition switch and pull the key out without shifting to park. And you can do the same on any modern vehicle that still uses a key operated ignition switch (you just can't remove the key until you shift to park). And what of manual transmissions that you can leave in any gear or none at all? My current ride uses a push-button start with an automatic transmission and yes once or twice I've been thoughtless enough to switch off the engine before putting the transmission in park, but the chimer and warning light quickly brought that to my attention before I could reach for the door handle. Remember no vehicle is safe unless it's operated by a qualified driver who’s paying attention to the task at hand.

LAWS yard sale nets $1,100 for the animals in Lanark County We would like to thank all the staff, volunteers, and the people who came out to support another successful LAWS yard sale last Saturday. We raised a big $1,100 to go toward our Shelter Capital Campaign. A special thank you to Josh and Jared our two chefs who did a great job with the barbecue. This is an early notice for low-cost rabies vaccination clinics being run by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit on Wednesday Sept. 13 and Wednesday Sept. 20 from 2 to 6 p.m. The cost will be $20, HST included, cash only. The clinics will be held at a number of veterinary clinics and several municipal buildings and fire halls in the area. More information to follow nearer the date. Featured pets Kitten season is in full swing and lots of our kittens have already found homes. But we also have a bunch of wonderful young adults at the shelter who would like furever homes too. They all live in the runs at the shelter and are peacefully sharing their living space with each other.
This Week’s Pets Leena is two years old, a slim sleek black beauty who thinks she is a jungle cat. She loves to be up high on the climbing structures in her run but she will gladly come down for the attention she craves. She loves to be stroked but is not comfortable being held for long.
Matthew
Matthew is nearly three years old, another glossy black cat but quite a bit bigger than Leena. He is very laid back, usually found snoozing in the sunshine. He is friendly and undemanding but enjoys attention and cuddles.
Lacey
Leena
Lacey is two years old and was featured a few weeks ago. At that time she was still quite shy but she is now much more trusting and has turned into a complete cuddle-bug. She especially likes tummy-rubs. She is medium-hair, her silky fur is short and neat in front getting longer toward the back with a beautiful bushy tail.
Dainty little Daphne is three years old, a tabby and white shorthair so small everyone thinks she must still be a kitten. She is very friendly, and quite vocal in her demands for attention. She is active and playful and loves to cuddle.
Daphne
Nate
Nate is a handsome two-year old male harlequin tabby. He loves attention and will take it from whoever is offering it. He is gentle and friendly, enjoys tummy-rubs and cuddles. Wish list Friskies Pate canned cat food, paper towels, toilet paper, disposable vinyl gloves (Frank's are ideal, from Canadian Tire), postage stamps. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like at www. facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.com. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.com or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

Heightened security has to include common sense In June, following two deadly terror incidents in England, I wrote a column about the need for beefed up security and the fact that, as part of the “new normal”, we will simply have to suck it up and be prepared to deal with increased scrutiny at public venues, airports or when we cross into the neighbouring United States. A number of readers responded by email, including one who feels that at this point increased security is “window dressing” and if we want to continue to have an open and free society we will be vulnerable to terror attacks. Another of my respondents feels that increasing security requirements is just a “convenient way for the government to monitor citizens” which, he says, means our freedom is already being squeezed. Personally I’m not the least bit paranoid or upset about having to deal with higher levels of security at airports, border crossings or public events. To me, the mere fact there is a greater emphasis being placed on the safety of Canadians is a good thing. Seeing a larger security presence in locations that are the most likely places to be targeted by terrorists is comforting somehow. In the June column I mentioned my recent visits to Parliament Hill in Ottawa and the very apparent measures taken to improve safety in and around our main seat of government. Security on The Hill was increased significantly in the wake of the October 2014 terror attacks in the nation’s capital, during which a member of the ceremonial guard at the National War Memorial was shot to death. The lone gunman managed to make it into the rotunda of the nearby Centre Block before being shot and killed by security personnel. Those incidents were a huge wake-up call and major changes have been instituted. Recently we have seen another side of the security dilemma that will have to be carefully considered and dealt with if we intend to establish an effective safety net in this country and on this continent. On July 1 Canadians marked our nation’s sesquicentennial. As it is every Canada Day, Parliament Hill in Ottawa was the main focal point for the celebrations. Politicians, including the prime minister, were in attendance and the guest list included the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall (Prince Charles and his wife Camilla) who represented Queen Elizabeth II at the historic Ottawa events. Since then there has been a significant public hue and cry about what is being called “the security fiasco” that surrounded the Parliament Hill activities. Security nightmare Most recently former Ottawa Mayor Jim Durrell, a well-respected businessman and community leader, weighed in on the subject. Durrell went as far as to suggest that if officials intend to employ the same kind of security arrangement in future “there is no point” holding Canada Day activities on the Hill. Based on everything I have heard and read about the security problems that occurred during the Canada 150 activities in Ottawa, I have to agree. The problems developed because the tens of thousands who were bound for the Parliament Hill observances had to go through “airportlike security screening” in order to gain admittance

to the grounds. In the process they were funneled through a long network of barriers which meant people had to stand for hours with no access to washrooms or food and with nowhere to sit. The process became so lengthy and the system was so overburdened that eventually thousands were either turned off or turned away. In the end only a fraction of the usual crowd made it inside the secure area to take part in the festivities. To make matters worse for everyone involved our summer of rain heavily impacted July 1 celebrations across the region. We live in Carleton Place where the day’s activities had to be relocated from Riverside Park, the usual location, inside the local arena. Parliament Hill was just as saturated as everywhere else around here and those who did manage to successfully navigate security landed in a mud bowl of epic proportions. It was so bad that the federal government is spending six figures just to try and regenerate (resod) the areas of Parliament Hill where the crowd churned what little was left of the grass into a slimy mess. There is a huge lesson in all of this, not just for Ottawa but for every community where major public events require heightened security. Former mayor Durrell also points out — and quite rightly — that the system of barriers actually created an attractive alternate target for any would-be terrorist(s). A bomb detonated in such a location could have taken a catastrophic human toll. Equal to, or worse perhaps, than a similar attack on Parliament Hill itself. People I know who were there that day and others I know who work in proximity to Parliament Hill, including my son, also complained about the length of the security setup in downtown Ottawa. Busy streets were cordoned off for days, not hours, which created massive traffic headaches for thousands of people who had no intention of attending the July 1 ceremonies. In fact the security setup kept untold numbers away from the area on Canada Day. In this case they were very astute I would say! The bottom line here is that despite good intentions, planning clearly went awry. Lessons should be learned and some common sense applied in future. Or, as Durrell and many others have said since, don’t bother holding events in high target areas. It’s not worth it. Imagine how much it cost taxpayers for a “system” that fell well short of the mark. To paraphrase Mr. Durrell’s final observation on this subject, “Terrorists 1 — General Public 0.” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com

NLAS celebrates exterior renovations to historic hall BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
One of the jewels in Almonte’s crown has been polished. The North Lanark Agricultural Society (NLAS) celebrated the conclusion of exterior renovations to the Almonte Agricultural Hall on July 27 with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. The work, which cost $142,000, was made possible through an Ontario 150 Community Capital Grant, administered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) in the amount of $106,700. The NLAS was responsible for the remaining funds. “(This hall) houses all exhibits at our annual (Almonte) agricultural fair, so the hall continues to play an integral role in our community, culture and history,” noted NLAS president Debbie Brydges. While the first agricultural hall on the Water Street grounds was built in 1865, its roof collapsed in 1868, “so the present agricultural hall was built the following year at a cost of $1,500,” she said. “The hall is renowned for its unique architecture, acoustics, hardwood floor and is rented out most weekends between May and October for family parties, wedding receptions, exhibitions and dances,” Brydges added. For quite some time, exterior renovations to the hall have been on the NLAS’ wish list, said NLAS member and renovations project manager Glen Syme. But it wasn’t until last fall that the group decided to apply for an OTF grant. “A week before Christmas, we

Right from the get go, we had amazing support … All of this was done around hall rentals and weather,” Syme commented right before he unveiled a plaque honouring at the contributions of community organizations and businesses who helped make the renovations possible.

BHC Carpentry was tasked with installing new pressed wood Canexel siding and trim on the exterior of the side and front walls, along with steel siding on the back wall of the structure.

About Bray Bray, originally from Sherbrooke, Que., enlisted in what is now the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) in 1943. It was on her 18th birthday. Initially, she tried to join at age 16. After undergoing weeks of basic training in Kitchener, Bray made the decision to become a medic. As a result, she was sent to Chorley Park in Toronto for instruction. It was a military hospital. In a previous Arnprior Chronicle-Guide story, she said: “I was there for four months, and I was then stationed at Ste. Anne’s Hospital in Quebec.” From there — in 1944 — she went to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Wireless School Number 1, in Montreal. It later became a military hospital. “I will tell you, I grew up fast, especially when I saw what was coming back from overseas,” Bray said. “I learned how life is unpredictable.” In 1940, while walking her dog, she met Bill Bray, her special someone who would soon head overseas. Five years later, on Christmas Eve, they married. Sadly, he died on Dec. 23, 2004, a day before the couple’s 59th anniversary. They had three children. Bray served in the military for three years, until 1946, which is when her son was born. For the past two years, Bray has been the Silver Cross Mother at Remembrance Day ceremonies in Carleton Place. “As long as the good Lord
gives me the get up and go I will use it,” she has said previously. Moreover, Bray is a recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee medal, and years ago, while residing in Cornwall, she was named Senior of the Year. Today, Bray enjoys being a member of St. James Anglican Church and is involved with the Women’s Council. And she is a member of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. She enjoys volunteering because she enjoys people. Speaking to Bray, Aristocrat said: “We cannot thank you enough. On behalf of the VFTP and Willis College, we are so grateful you agreed to lead us.” “I am so impressed by your story. To have your name attached to Willis College ... this is outstanding.” she added. “Thank you!” an emotional Bray exclaimed. “I am overwhelmed.” The VFTP presented Bray with a special pin. The doors of Willis College opened in 1866, under the leadership of Stephen T. Willis. The Willis family homestead was situated at the western end of Riverside Park in Carleton Place. “Yes, the Willis family arrived from Ireland in Canada, settling in Carleton Place,” Aristocrat said. The veteran wing at the Ottawa campus of Willis College is named after George Sparks, one of the country’s oldest living Second World War veterans. He is also a 1936 graduate of Willis College. Sparks studied accounting. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on July 5. Bray was in attendance with her youngest daughter. “George will tell you that he is more than 100 years old now, and he is in incredible spirit,” Aristocrat said. “He attends all of our graduations (at Willis College).” Bray is looking forward to attending future graduations of the VFTP participants; however, “I am not much of a talker.” For more information about the VFTP and Willis College, contact Planetta at 613-2331128 or dan.planetta@williscollege.com, or visit www.vftp.ca.

for 28 years,” she said, and “nothing is as humbling as what I am doing with veterans.” Willis College did its own test program for veterans two years ago. “When I talk to veteran students, when I hear their stories ... it is so important that we do our part,” Aristocrat said. “We are making a difference in the lives of veterans.” The VFTP also supports members of Royal Canadian Mounted Police and provincial police forces. In addition to Aristocrat and Planetta, two other representatives from Willis College and the VFTP visited Bray at her home on June 15, Bernard Doyle and Caroline Matthews. Doyle is the financial controller at Willis College and the VFTP outreach and stakeholder program support director. Matthews, a retired petty officer (second class), is the VFTP veteran support co-ordinator. Since the VFTP announcement in March, there is keen interest from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, according to Planetta. “It (program) has grown by leaps and bounds since then,” he added. “Look at its website and see the partnerships that have developed so quickly.” Some of these partnerships are the Veterans Emergency Transition Service (VETS) Canada, Wounded Warriors Canada and the Veteran’s Benevolent Fund, just to name a few. Planetta stressed, “Rima and General Semianiw are working hard and pushing the VFTP to be what it is becoming.” Creation of the Joan Bray Veteran Learning Centre started on June 19, and it took approximately two weeks. The 1,400 square foot space encompasses two classrooms, a student lounge and Matthews’ office. “The VFTP is not just about veterans coming to Willis College for an education,” Planetta said. “It is about making sure their transition into civilian life works.” “I have been a petty officer, I have taken a leadership course,
but what does that mean and where does it get me in civilian life,” Matthews remarked. “The military is your family. ... You are told what to do, where to be and even what to wear,” she continued. “I can honestly say the very first day I came to Willis College I moved into another family.” “Caroline understands,” Bray said. “She has been there, she has done that.” “As soon as they (veterans) hear Caroline is a vet, the wall goes down,” Doyle noted. “I supported my country in the past, but I am still offering support by helping veterans,” Matthews said.

The public was given a chance to provide input on the Bodnar subdivision in Carleton Place at a public meeting on July 25. Audience members heard an application for subdivision was received from Stantec Consulting on behalf of Cavanagh Construction Ltd. for the lands located in the northwest corner of town, on the south side of Lake Avenue West and extending south to Highway 7. The County of Lanark is the approval authority for subdivisions and requested Carleton Place hold the public meeting. “No decisions will be made tonight,” manager of developmental services Joanna Bowes said. “This is a public meeting to hear comments from everybody.” She added, “The developer will then consider these comments.” The Bodnar lands encompass 24.8 hectares. The subdivision proposes a mix of residential uses, including 193 lots for single detached dwellings, 26 blocks for 317 townhouse units and one block for a 72-unit apartment dwelling (nine buildings with eight units in each), for a total of 582 units. Bowes noted the proposal as submitted is consistent with the provincial policy statement, Carleton Place’s Official Plan (OP) and the Lanark County Sustainable Communities OP. “The application generally meets the requirement of the town’s development permit bylaw, but will require a development permit to recognize a maximum 9.3 metre front yard setback for the townhouse units,” she added. “This request was made to improve parking in development.” The overall density for the Bodnar subdivision is 31.8 units per hectare.
The site will be accessed from Lake Avenue West, Doucett Drive and Morris Street. In the future, Johnson Street may be linked with the subdivision by way of an adjoining subdivision. “It is the intent of the developer to break this development into phases,” Bowes stated, and “we decided to collect cash in lieu of parkland.” She added the Bodnar subdivision is already surrounded by parkland and open spaces: Roy Brown Park, Riverside Park and beach, Westview Park, Carleton Place High School track and Carleton Place Canoe Club. “The whole site is 24.8 hectares, but within a five to 10-minute walk, there is 19 hectares of parkland,” Bowes continued. It was noted the application for subdivision was supported by a number of technical documents and studies: draft plan, environment impact statement (EIS), planning rationale report, stage two archaeological assessment, servicing and stormwater management report, transportation impact study and preliminary geotechnical assessment. “No concerns were raised (by commenting agencies or staff) from the majority of those studies; however, concerns were raised by both staff and members of the public with respect to the EIS and servicing and stormwater management report,” Bowes explained. “I have made these comments known to the developer.” The town’s urban forest/ river corridor advisory committee requested the stormwater management report be peer reviewed. Names of potential reviewers were provided. Another topic of conversation brought up by more than a few people was source water protection in intake protection zones – specifically, intake protection zone 9.
Reports from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOE) as well as the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority regarding the development were requested. How will it affect the town’s water supply? It was also suggested by urban forest/river corridor advisory committee that the 200year flood line be used instead of the standard 100-year flood line. “Public comments have been received and have noted inconsistencies with the EIS and servicing and stormwater management report,” Bowes said. “Amendments are currently being undertaken by the developer, and the public has stated that more time to review the complex issues is required.” Feedback Carleton Place resident Janet McGinnis called the conclusions of the EIS with respect to the impact on the Mississippi River questionable. “Firstly, page one of this document erroneously indicates the river flows into Mississippi Lake approximately 600 metres to the southwest of the site,” she said. McGinnis continued: “It is shocking to me that this report was prepared in March of 2016 and no one discovered the flaw before it was submitted as a supporting document for this subdivision.” Another issued raised was the assumption stormwater would be managed onsite, which is no longer the case. “The EIS states that a portion of a hayfield immediately to the west of the northwest portion of the site is proposed for a stormwater management area,” McGinnis said. She also questioned the reliability of the EIS’ conclusions because “it does not consider a See BODNAR page A/CP7

First phase of Almonte Skatepark ready for 'air' as it opens to public BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
The sound of skateboards rolling on cement was music to the ears of many July 25 as the first phase of the Almonte Skatepark officially opened in Gemmill Park. Surrounded by fellow council representatives, youth and Almonte Skatepark Committee members, Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin presided over a ribbon cutting to mark the occasion. Afterwards, guests enjoyed skateboarding demonstrations from Ottawa businesses Joe Mamma Cycles and Top of the World, as well as a barbecue. “Do you like what we built for you? Are you happy?” remarked McLaughlin to the crowd, which elicited a resounding “yes.” The skatepark, which has been in the works since 2009, was designed by Spectrum Skateparks and features a 2,775- square foot concrete streetscape with ramps, rails and boxes. “Government moves slow-
ly, but things do get done,” McLaughlin stated. “Here, we have a perfect example of what can be done. It might take a little time, but it happens and it’s going to last for years. It will be here long after I’m gone and is a wonderful thing for a community.” “Our kids have been lobbying for this for years by going up and down the middle of the streets on skateboards, just to let us know they still wanted this. Very good tactic, boys and girls, you kept it in the public eye,” he added. Called the “driving force” behind the initiative by McLaughlin was Sarah Robertson with the Almonte Skatepark Committee. A mother of four boys, she noted a recreation opportunity like this was much-needed in Mississippi Mills. “I felt that there was a necessity for kids’ recreation that was not fee-based nor structured with an organization,” she commented. After seeing a notice in the newspaper nearly nine years ago when the former structure was being removed, asking resi-
dents what they’d like to see in its place, Robertson and likeminded residents formed the committee and answered the call. With support from the municipality, especially recreation manager Calvin Murphy “who had to put up with us,” she joked, the committee spent a lot of time researching skateparks over the years, including those in the Township of Centre Hastings which has a park in Madoc, as well as the City of Kingston. With a total project cost of $530,000 ($160,000 for this first phase), the committee mounted a campaign to raise funds, holding events such as Let the Good Times Roll and Conquer the Concrete, through which approximately $18,000 was realized. A number of local businesses, individuals and organizations also contributed to the project with monetary and in-kind donations, bringing the amount raised to nearly $100,000. “These folks deserve a big See SKATE page A/CP14

On Saturday, Aug. 5 the Bridge St. Summer Fest, formerly known as the Bridge Street Bazaar, returns to Carleton Place. The fun family event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Owing to the popularity of the Bridge St. Summer Fest, there are periods in the day when the concrete of the town’s main thoroughfare is not visible – packed with thousands of residents and visitors.
Bridge St. Summer Fest this Saturday BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place is the place to be this Saturday, with so much taking place in the downtown corridor. Making its return on Aug. 5 is the Bridge Street Summer Fest, formerly known as the Bridge Street Bazaar. The fun family event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Presented by Downtown Carleton Place (DCP), the oneday extravaganza sees Bridge Street closed to vehicular traffic, making way for a pedestrian-friendly area. Bridge Street Summer Fest is a rain or shine event, and it is absolutely free to attend. There is a jam-packed schedule of activities and attractions, including live entertainment, wandering mascots and performers, vendors, summer merchant sales and so much more. As stated on the DCP website, “With community groups, restaurants and arts programs all coming together for the day, visitors will truly be able to immerse themselves in the culture of Carleton Place, discovering all that our great town has to offer.”
Performing on the main stage: Carleton Place and District Community Band, 10 to 11 a.m.; Beatles Tribute Band, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Heritage Hands Ottawa Drum Club, 12:30 to 1 p.m.; and Redneck Limousine, 1:15 to 2:45 p.m. Stalwart Brewing Co. is hosting a beer garden, which opens at 11 a.m. Guests must be 19 years and over to enter. Adam Zimmerman, also known as Zip-E the Clown, is bringing his new show to Carleton Place. Performing as The Monkey Man, he will entertain people with mini bike riding, juggling, balloon sculpting and more. Zimmerman is also bringing the Dino Project to town. Come see his roaming — a Tyrannosaurus rex named Russell. Hoop You — Canada 150, a spectacular hula hoop troupe, performs on the lawn outside the post office. It is Artisan’s Day at the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market, which is also the location of the Hometown Hearts Kidz Zone.
National Log Lifting Competition during the Bridge Street Summer Fest. See the world’s best competitors go head to head in an incredible battle to see who prevails as the strongest. “I am very excited to see how many records we can break at the competition,” organizer Volundur Wally Thorbjornsson told the Canadian Gazette. He added: “The lineup of competitors includes all the best log lifters, and it will be a good fight to the end.” Set up in the parking lot between 74 and 92 Bridge St., the amateur round begins at 10 a.m., with the professional competition starting at 1 p.m. The competition runs until 5 p.m. Owing to the popularity of the Bridge Street Summer Fest, there are periods in the day when the concrete of the town’s main thoroughfare is not visible — packed with thousands of residents and visitors.

stormwater pond outlet into the river and its potential impact on the health of the river or our drinking water.” The biggest concern raised by the resident involved the servicing and stormwater management report. “This report repeatedly recommends that any failure of the sewage pumpåingå stations should direct the raw, untreated sewage to flow into the stormwater management pond in Roy Brown Park,” McGinnis said. She added: “This is a shocking recommendation. It is unimaginable that an engineering report would recommend that raw sewage be collected in an open stormwater pond that empties directly into the Mississippi River upstream of our municipal water intake.” Council was reminded the stormwater management pond is in a public park, which is not the place for a sewage holding pond. Gerry Andrews of the urban forest/river corridor advisory committee stressed the development is “right above and in close proximity to the Carleton Place drinking water intake.” He was “astonished” this fact was absent from the consultant reports.
Furthermore, Andrews noted it was council’s responsibility to ensure the town’s residents have safe drinking water. “Both the EIS and servicing and stormwater management report for the Cavanagh subdivision have serious flaws, and any consideration of this subdivision should be postponed until these reports have been amended to remove the hazards to our drinking water, public health and safety and the health of the Mississippi River,” McGinnis stressed. Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority general manager Paul Lehman spoke about the inclusion of a stormwater management pond in Roy Brown Park. In October 2013, the authority opened its state-of-the-art headquarters in Carleton Place – on a piece of land in Roy Brown Park. When the site was initially looked at, Lehman noted the nearby wetlands made it more attractive. “We have been working with the town to develop a trail system through the park and wetlands, hoping to demonstrate good evironmental practices ...” he said. “Our concern is that the location of the proposed pond will detract from that opportunity.” Coun. Doug Black provided a list of his concerns and issues with council and the public, sharing the education he has acquired.
“This is not an ordinary subdivision ... it is above the water intake flowing past the oldest canoe club in Canada, past one of the last pristine beaches in eastern Ontario,” he stressed. Although there are existing standards developers adhere to, changes are coming down from the province regarding wetlands, low impact development (LID), etc. Black recalled a company and its director were ordered to rehabilitate a provincially significant wetland on Rothbourne Road in Stittsville that they damaged over five years ago. Essentially, it was decided the original $7,500 fine imposed was not much of a punishment (or a deterrent) for bulldozing a wetland to create developable land. Speaking with emotion at times, Black raised and answered the following questions: What is LID and why is it important to the Bodnar subdivision? What is the status for LID implementation? What is collected by stormwater ponds and what is not? What alternative solutions are available to stormwater ponds? Is discharge into a wetland allowed? What are the pending changes to protect wetlands – and when? What is blue green algae and what impact will stormwater pond contibute to its creation? “LID is a stormwater man-
agement approach that seeks to mitigate the impacts of increased runoff and stormwater pollution by managing runoff as close to its source as possible,” Black explained. “LID measures such as infiltration, retention, filtration, evaporation and transpiration, as well as water reuse should be explored as part of the stormwater management system.” “The town does take this very seriously,” Bowes said. “We have been in contact with MississippiRideau Source Protection to ensure the required guidelines for source water protection are being met.” Coun. Sean Redmond stressed: “Council takes it very seriously, and I take it seriously because whatever comes out of the stormwater management pond flows directly past my backyard.” Mayor Louis Antonakos thanked the public for coming out, asking questions and voicing concerns, and he thanked the consultants for taking questions and listening to concerns. “The developer is here tonight as well,” he said. Stantec Consulting representatives as well as the developer – Cavanagh Construction Ltd. – indicated they would take all concerns from residents into consideration as the process moves forward. Further comments regarding
the Bodnar subdivision can be submitted until Aug. 11 by emailing Lanark County clerk/deputy CAO Leslie Drynan (ldrynan@lanarkcounty.ca) and copy Bowes at the town (bowes@carletonplace.ca). “Thank you for bringing your comments forward,” Chris Collins of Cavanagh Construction Ltd. noted. “We will be working closely with the town developing the (subdivision) plan,” he continued, and “this plan is not just something we throw down to make money.” “We will be working closely with the approval agencies … the comments you made will be submitted to the MOE, Mississippi Val-
ley Conservation Authority …” Collins added. “We are not opposed to looking at any reasonable option that is available to us.” At the town’s policy review meeting later in the evening, a motion was carried for staff to review feedback from the public meeting and work with the developer to ensure feedback is addressed, and then prepare draft conditions for review by council at a future gathering. The meeting, which will be an open meeting, will be advertised in Municipal Matters, and written notice of the gathering will be sent to the people who sent in comments about the subdivision and signed a list for more information.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Communication is key In my 15 years as a community newspaper reporter, I’ve covered council in several different communities, including McNab-Braeside, North Grenville, Merrickville-Wolford and Mississippi Mills. One of the constants I’ve seen over the years is the struggle for public engagement and attendance at council meetings. Let’s face it, most council meetings aren’t the most exciting way to spend an evening, but they are informative and a good way for citizens to take an active role in what’s happening in their communities. Most often it’s a divisive issue that brings people out and then you won’t see them for another six months until the next thing fires them up. However, over the past year in Mississippi Mills, there has been standing room only in the council chambers, which I believe is a positive thing to see residents interested in how their tax dollars are spent. While the interest began right around the same time as council was considering the sale of Don Maynard Park in spring-summer 2016, it has continued. It’s nice not being the only person in the audience for a council meeting, but there are pros and cons to such a large crowd and I don’t think either group (residents and council) have been sending the right message. When you are passionate about an issue, frustrations can take over, but just because you disagree on an action that’s taken doesn’t mean a council meeting needs to turn into a shouting match, with jeers from the crowd at every time council makes a decision that’s not preferred by the gallery. However, stationing OPP officers at the door of each meeting doesn’t exactly provide a warm welcome to the public either. It’s good for us to be critical of our elected officials; after all, we elected them, but at some point actions can backfire and cause the opposite effect. Take, for example, council’s recent changes to its procedural bylaw that don’t permit any recording devices within council chambers. I can understand the impetus behind it, but the message is negative. As a member of the media, it also muddies the freedom of the press issue. In this
ASHLEY KULP The Usual Kulprit day and age of technology at our fingertips, I still rely on my shorthand skills to take notes during meetings, but I have recorded sessions in the past if there is a contentious issue, to ensure I get all of the comments down correctly. No longer having that opportunity does affect the way I do my job. Looking at other area municipalities, Carleton Place passed an audio and video recording policy in January 2015 that allows media to record meetings. In May of this year, they went a step further by banning council members from having their cell phones during meetings. Staff and members of the public are still permitted to have their phones in council chambers, but they must be turned off or switched to silent. There is an opportunity to change the dialogue in Mississippi Mills. The municipality is currently in the process of establishing a new communications plan to better inform residents and recently completed a public survey seeking feedback on how they could make changes. I think this could be a very important document for the municipality as it moves forward. I don’t know if this falls under the procedural bylaw or communications plan, but currently there is no opportunity for residents to ask questions of council during council or committee of the whole meetings. That may be a way to better engage with members of the public. In North Grenville, which is a municipality similar in size to Mississippi Mills, their meetings are structured in such a way that after each committee’s business (finance and administration, parks, recreation and culture, etc.) there’s a period of questions from public and media on agenda items. And people take advantage of it. This could be an option for Mississippi Mills to explore. Whatever the case, I look forward to seeing the outcome of the communications plan.

Getting creative with nature

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Concern over effects of spreading municipal waste on agricultural lands DEAR EDITOR:
I am writing with concern over the spreading of municipal waste on agricultural lands. My worry is specifically about the approval to spread on property that drains into our waterways. I understand that it is sterilized for any biological component and that there is a maximum level required for heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and mercury. When I posed the question to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
(OMAFRA), they could not answer if there is any way to treat chemical, pharmaceutical, hormonal or anything else that gets flushed down the drain or toilet. All I see is promotional information on the OMAFRA site. It has been a very wet year and recently there was spreading on a field that drains directly into the Indian River. No adjacent landowners were notified that the field was to be spread with municipal waste. This field had running water below a cultivated gully while the sewage was being applied. After a heavy rain
there was an immense amount of runoff that turned the river brown. When I asked the MOECC whether it would be safe to swim or eat fish afterwards the answer I received was “I can not answer that.” This river hosts a large amount of wildlife and the protected fish species river redhorse. I grew up beside this river, learned to swim and catch fish. I would still like to be able to enjoy swimming and safely eating fish from this river in the future. John Cochran Almonte
Growth of any kind may not be for the better, says reader DEAR EDITOR:
I hear more people say they are looking for a community in which to live. Not just a collection of houses and shops, but a social community where they feel they can belong and fit comfortably into. A diverse group of like-minded people sharing everyday living and caring for each other, their children, pets and property that
is what gels into a community. Attracting new residents to Carleton Place because housing is cheaper than Ottawa does not do it on its own. Attracting new residents with shared values that are reflected in building and thoughtful designs and features does. Development for it’s own sake is not worth the land use and environmental

changes it requires unless it is going to benefit the town by contributing to making the town a better and more livable community immediately and in the future. It is more than an increase in the tax base. It appears the majority of council believe the more growth of any kind, the better. Any development See LETTER page A/CP9

has to consider societal and climatic changes taking place and what those changes will require down the road to have positive long-term effectives. From what I heard on July 25 during the Bodnar presentation I find the proposed plans lacking and sharply honed-in on profits. Let’s see how much we can get away with starting with a cheap basic stormwater retention plan (which thanks to Coun. Doug Black’s research and other residents exposed it clearly for what it is), to incorporating existing surrounding parkland. The developer does not see the benefits of even a small central children’s playground where the neighbours can meet as a community. Nor did I see any provisions for walking or cycling.

R. Tait McKenzie Scholarship winners
Almonte and District High School (ADHS) students Keira Fuchs, left, and Jack Irvin were this year’s winners of the R. Tait McKenzie scholarship awards presented May 16. Each year, the Almonte Lions Club Charitable Foundation provides a $2,000 scholarship to the winners, along with a miniature bronze replica of McKenzie’s Joy of Effort plaque. This year marked the 51st anniversary of the awards, held at ADHS, which acknowledge students’ contributions to their school and community. Finalists for the awards each received a small medallion and $100 bursary. McKenzie, doctor, athlete and artist, graduated from ADHS in 1883 and is credited to have been the inspiration behind modern physiotherapy.
There were two basic features that the developer mentioned on more than one occasion as if to display their creative thoughtful caring, having two exterior parking spots along with a garage and implementing one-way valves on sewer lines to lessen chances of sewer back-ups into basements. If this is the best they can come up with considering all the proven helpful improvements
available at workable costs, then I think we have the wrong developer. And if these two small features and an iffy stormwater retention plan are enough to convince the majority on council that this is a worthwhile project, then we have bigger problems to deal with. Bill Bousada Carleton Place

Carleton Place will join area municipalities in a request for proposal (RFP) to select a Lanark County/local municipal integrity commissioner. During the town’s policy review meeting on July 25, Mayor Louis Antonakos moved the motion, which was seconded by Coun. Ross Trimble and carried with a 4-1 recorded vote. Coun. Doug Black cast the lone nay, and councillors Brian Doucett and Theresa Fritz were absent with regrets. An integrity commissioner is a neutral and independent officer who encourages and oversees compliance with high standards of ethical conduct expected of elected and appointed officials. Chief administrative officer Paul Knowles noted the local clerks of Lanark County and Smiths Falls have been discussing engaging someone to serve as integrity commissioner for the group of municipalities. At its meeting in Perth on May 24, Lanark County council approved a motion directing staff to prepare an RFP for a Lanark County/local mu-
Carleton Place hires new deputy clerk The Corporation of the Town of Carleton Place is pleased to announce that Stacey Blair will begin her employment with the town as deputy clerk in late August 2017. “It has been a career goal of mine to join the clerk’s department with the Town of Carleton Place,” said Blair. “I consider myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such a great group of people and to learn from the profusion of knowledge of the staff ” Stacey will be working closely with current clerk Duncan Rogers, who has held the position for 28 years, and will take over as clerk upon his retirement. “We are very pleased to have Stacey Blair joining the clerk’s department,” said Rogers. “Stacey brings a wealth of experience to her new role and we look forward to working with her.” Stacey has in fact more than 17 years of municipal experience. She has held the positions of clerk administrator and deputy clerk/planning administrator with Lanark Highlands, acting clerk at Montague Township, and worked in the clerk’s department at Mississippi Mills. “Carleton Place is an exciting and vibrant community and I look forward to becoming a part of its municipal team,” concluded Blair. Submitted by the Town of Carleton Place
nicipal integrity commissioner. The move was in preparation for the impending legislation from the Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act — Bill 68. Owing to the bill, which received royal assent on May 30, the adoption of a council code of conduct is mandatory, and an integrity commissioner must be hired to initiate and conduct inquiries as to whether councillors have breached their code of conduct or the provisions of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act.
Carleton Place already has an integrity commissioner, Robert Swayze. A Caledon lawyer, he was retained by the municipality in 2012. Swayze’s current contract is expiring. On more than one occasion during the previous term of council, Swayze investigated the deputy mayor at the time, the late Ed Sonnenburg, for misconduct. Furthermore, the town’s watchdog was kept busy in 2017. Swayze investigated Mayor Louis Antonakos twice and Coun. Doug Black once for wrongdoing.
Black told the Canadian Gazette he voted against Tuesday’s motion for a couple of reasons. “If we participate in the RFP and a price is negotiated that we feel is unacceptable, it is unfair to ask the county to go back and negotiate again, but this time with one less municipality,” Black explained. “You either participate in the process to its conclusion or you do not,” he continued. Black also likes the experience of Swayze and his knowledge of
the town. Despite the vote on July 25, clerk Duncan Rogers explained: “Council will still have the right to renew the services of Mr. Swayze, accept the County of Lanark choice or seek the services of another integrity commissioner.” “In my opinion, this gives us another avenue to explore ... our options are open,” Redmond said. Redmond chaired the policy review meeting for Doucett. With files from Ashley Kulp

Lid will be sadly missed by his sister Ronette. Predeceased by his brother Martin, and sisters Heather and Pat. Born in England, Lid left at the age of 16 after the second world war ended, and spent the next four years working on freighter ships. This gave him the opportunity to see nearly every major port in the world. He eventually made his way to Ontario and employment at Ottawa Dairy farm. Here he realized his love of farming and also his love for Phyllis. Because of Lids passion for farming he spent most of his working life, along with a career in trucking, doing just that. Retirement gave Lid the time to not only continue to raise some chickens and turkeys, but to raise the biggest chickens and turkeys. His flower and vegetable gardens were an impressive sight to everyone. A special thank you goes out to the nursing staff at Carleton Place Memorial and the Montfort Hospitals for such compassionate care. The family held a private celebration of Lids life on Saturday July 29, 2017. For those who would like to make a donation in memory of Lid, a contribution to the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. www.barkerfh.com

DR. SHARPE Louis Ramon Born 91 years ago on the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago, Louis Sharpe aspired to a different life than that of government service, which he initially enjoyed. He set off for Canada, and McGill University to complete a Bachelor of Arts and ultimately a Doctorate of Dental Surgery, completed in 1963. From there he moved south, practising at New York Polyclinic, extending his studies to a Dental Fellowship in Anaesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital, and teaching briefly at Columbia University. He established his own dental practice in New York where, in 1964, he met his future wife, Gisela (nee Molk). They spent many happy years in the city, and had a son, Robert. In 1977 Louis moved his family to Almonte, Ontario where he practiced dentistry until his death. Louis had an immediate charm and a mischievous wit. His quirky sense of humour and easy laughter gave him a talent for putting others at ease and for making them feel welcome and important. Rarely would he be seen in public without suit and tie. He was passionate about fishing, classic British mystery novels, dentistry, and about his family. Louis passed quickly and peacefully at the Ottawa Heart Institute on July 27, 2017. The family wish to extend thanks to the compassionate physicians, nurses and all the kind staff who cared so well for him. His family will sorely miss him. A funeral will be held at Holy Name of Mary Parish in Almonte on Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 11am.

HEALEY, Ann Kathleen (nee Barber – In loving memory of a dear sister, aunt and good friend who left this earth August 4th, 2011. Another link was broken in our family chain and life is not the same. We have faith that one day in Heaven that chain will be whole again. Ann was the “Rock Star” of her circle of family and friends; she excelled at everything on which she set her sights; homemaking, interior design, fashion guru, shopping, golfing, cooking, baking, artistic creations but first and foremost she was a good, kind, courageous and loving person whose presence is missed every day. So many times we have said “If only Ann was here – she would know exactly what we need”. Deeply loved and missed.

High speed fibre Internet coming to Mississippi Mills Bell Canada is planning on investing approximately $10 million in Mississippi Mills to bring high speed fibre Internet to the Almonte area. Bell Canada’s investment is part of the Mississippi Mills 2020 (MM2020) ongoing efforts to bring high speed, reliable and cost effective Internet access to all corners of Mississippi Mills. The first phase will see high speed Internet deployed in Almonte; however, it is the goal to have high speed fibre Internet in all wards and com-
munities in Mississippi Mills in the near future. In order to start the project in Almonte, Bell Canada’s fibre deployment team met with representatives of the Ottawa River Power Corporation (ORPC) last week. The meeting between ORPC and the Bell fibre deployment team took place last Friday, July 21 and representatives from Bell indicated that their expectations were exceeded and are grateful for the level of cooperation expressed by the engineering management staff at ORPC.

Charge your electric car in Mississippi Mills, Maberly Lanark County now has two electric vehicle charging stations on offer. First on the scene was the electric charging station at the Fall River Restaurant, located at 21980 Highway 7 in Maberly. It was officially opened by Tay Valley Township Reeve Keith Kerr in 2015. Drivers can charge their car for free. The station is available courtesy of the Maberly Bakery located at the same address as the restaurant, so folks planning to charge their vehicle en route are advised to call ahead (613268-2197), especially in winter. Mississippi Mills unveiled its first public electric vehicle charger this May thanks to a public-private partnership between the municipality, Canadian Hydro Components (CHC), the Mississippi River Power Corp. (MRPC) and the Ottawa River Power Corporation. It is located at the southwest corner of the CHC property at 16 Main St. W. in Almonte. A second charger at the building for CHC employees is available for the public outside of office hours. Users access the power by swiping a
credit card. The first two hours are free and then a $4-per-hour rate applies. MRPC generates electricity just 230 metres from the location of the charger, meaning drivers can expect most of the electrons come from a renewable source. “Our communities recognize that residents and visitors are embracing new technologies and are leading by example,” said Marie White, Lanark County Tourism manager. “This is just one more way Lanark County is able to accommodate our visitors and residents, and it gives people a chance to enjoy and explore some beautiful sites while they charge up.” Mobile phone apps are available to help tourists find stations as they travel. Stay tuned for more announcements regarding charging stations coming to Lanark County communities. For more information, please contact Lanark County Tourism at 1-888-452-6275 or consult www.LanarkCountyTourism.ca. Submitted by the County of Lanark

round of applause,” Robertson said. According to Murphy, the skatepark is a component of the overall $876,481.54 enhancements planned for the Gemmill Park Campus Project, which also includes a splash pad and accessible washrooms. “In the first phase, the skatepark committee provided $44,680 and in-kind donations will be used for future phases,” he explained. “The rest was funded through grants and other municipal funding.”
Years of hard work has been well worth seeing the smiles on the faces in the park daily. “Most importantly, this project is for the kids. So are you listening up there?” Robertson said. “We recognize the need for physical health and what a skatepark can do for that. We recognize that a skatepark can also contribute to the mental health of kids and certainly to the social aspects of skateboarding and being together. These are areas that personally I recognize as being muchneeded services and facilities in our town.” While Robertson said feedback has been “amazing,” she admit-
ted the park is “a bit small,” and represents only 25 per cent of the overall plan. “We know (it’s small), but we had to get you something and we had to get you started,” she stated. Murphy said future plans include adding a bowl-type structure to the park. “After nine years, it’s nice to finally see the light and have this in place,” he commented. “And the kids are out here every night using it.” “To the committee, which I sit on, I can’t thank them enough for their hard work on this,” Murphy added.

Skin-to-skin contact is also encouraged. “Smell is one of a newborn’s most acute senses,” explains Saija. “This helps the mom and baby to learn nursing cues and get to know each other.”
It’s World Breastfeeding Week – a great time to talk about the benefits of breastfeeding. The Almonte General Hospital (AGH) obstetrics program includes nurses, physicians and midwives who work together to help women who want to breastfeed their babies. They also support each women’s chosen feeding method, including breastfeeding, pumping breast milk and formula feeding. Saija Chadha is a midwife with Ottawa Valley Midwives - part of the AGH team. She explains there are many benefits to breastfeeding for both Mom and baby. “It supports brain and immune system development and results in fewer infections, digestive diseases and potential allergies. And there are practical benefits too. Breast milk is always the right temperature, provided at the source with no additives or potential for contamination. It’s portable and it’s free of charge.”
Robertson said the committee is in the planning stages of a fundraising campaign for phase two of the skatepark. “It’s a big task to raise that kind of money and grants are non-existent these days,” Robertson said. Anyone wishing to volunteer their time on the Almonte Skatepark Committee or get involved can contact Sarah Robertson at almonteskatepark@gmail.com. More information on the park, including upcoming events and how to make donations, can be found online at www.almonteskatepark. ca or on Facebook by searching ‘Almonte Skate Park Project.’
The entire AGH team works closely with new Moms to help with any challenges along the way. Nurses work in both the labour and post-partum units, providing continuity of care. Private rooms allow for teaching in a comfortable setting. Once Moms go home, nurses can provide phone consultations. Moms delivering with a midwife benefit from in-home visits as well.

AGH also works with health partners in the community including Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, lactation consultants, local pediatricians and La Leche League (a volunteer support program). “Breastfeeding is a journey. The most important factor in a woman’s breastfeeding success is for the mother to receive positive support and help from other mothers, family members and health professionals,” sums up Saija. “First and foremost, babies need to feed and we are honoured to be here to help.”
North Lanark Historical Society receives grant from Virtual Museum of Canada The North Lanark Historical Society is pleased to announce that we have received a $10,000 grant from the Virtual Museum of Canada’s Community Stories Investment Program. This funding will allow us to create a bilingual online exhibit commemorating the Almonte Train Accident. Our project, titled Memories of ’42: Stories of the Almonte Train Wreck, will be showcased on the Virtual Museum of Canada’s website alongside a rich collection of Canadian heritage. The Virtual Museum of Canada celebrates stories and treasures entrusted to Canadian museums and shares them in innovative and dynamic ways. Over the past two decades, the North Lanark Historical Society has collected stories from survivors, first responders and residents of Almonte with recollections of the accident. The exhibition will include some of these shared memories, both the painful and the joyful. With the funding and publicity of the community stories project, the historical society hopes to enhance their collection of oral histories and interview more individuals with memories of the accident. Time is running out
to collect information on what continues to be one of the worst railway accidents in Canadian history. The historical society believes these stories are significant and deserve to be heard and shared, both locally and nationally. Despite the powerful impact the crash had on the town of Almonte, many residents today would be surprised that there was once a passenger train that
ran through the area. Passenger service ceased in 1979 and the station was demolished. In 2011, the train tracks were removed. The historical society has sought to commemorate this event and keep it in community memory. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Almonte Train Accident and the historical society believes the community stories program will allow us to produce a professional, bilin-
gual exhibit that engages Canadians across the country. The North Lanark Historical Society is also gathering information to publish the most comprehensive book to date on the accident. The historical society would appreciate your help to gather accounts from survivors, witnesses, and those who remember that day. Did you or someone you know survive the accident?

A large pine dominates the shade garden with a bench to enjoy the birds that come to a water source, bird feeders and a bird house. Potted herbs, hanging baskets and whimsical statuary are interspersed among day lilies, heliopsis, roses, coneflower and firetail. The house is framed on both sides with trellised purple jackmani clematis. This garden is an asset to the neighbourhood.

New book by author Lowell Green celebrates Canada’s 150th BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
A book celebrating Canada’s 150th. Interesting. A book containing 150 stories about Canada. Intriguing. A book telling true stories about the country and its amazing people that have probably never been heard before, thanks to unique research by the author. Certainly a must-read for every Canadian. The author who has researched and written this 314-page book is none other than radio personality Lowell Green, a West Carleton resident who lives just a stone’s throw outside of Stittsville. But, Green doesn’t just tell the stories — he tells each one from a unique perspective. For instance, he tells about the death and destruction in Toronto in 1954 caused by hurricane Hazel. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of Toronto. But, Green zeroes in on what happened on Raymore Drive, a residential street beside the Humber River where flood waters swept away entire houses within minutes, ultimately killing 35 people. It was all because a small footbridge across the Humber River was not totally swept away and remained to direct the raging river onto the nearby street. He tells the story of the development of the Red Fife strain of wheat,

which allowed Canada’s west to become vast wheat fields. It’s not a story not of laboratory research, but of a few grains of wheat trapped under the hatband of a Scottish man and a friend of David Fife, a farmer near Peterborough. These “hatband” grains eventually produce five stalks of top quality wheat for Fife, but a cow eats them — all except for one stalk. Fife uses the grains from this one stalk to eventually develop the best, hardiest early maturing wheat in the world. Green tells how the McIntosh apple was developed in Canada as a result of a tragic love story involving
its developer, John McIntosh. He lost his beloved to death and decided to farm as close as possible to her grave site. On that land, he discovered apple tree saplings that led to the McIntosh apple of today. And on it goes. There’s the story of one sole RCMP officer convincing Sitting Bull to return to the United States from his refuge in Canada. He tells the tale of how an old felt hat saved the life of a Hudson’s Bay store employee who was earmarked to be killed, just like others, in what is known as the Frog Lake Massacre of the Riel Rebellion. One of the stories in the book
is about the Belcher Islands massacre in Canada’s far north, which Green calls one of Canada’s most gruesome mass murders. And so it goes for all 150 stories in this book. They are stories either told from a unique perspective or stories that are relatively unknown to Canadians. Green even includes his own four personal stories involving Prime Minister John Diefenbaker with whom he had, in his own words, a “love/hate relationship” over the years. One of these stories involves the Diefenbunker in Carp. All of the stories are brief, usually just two pages in the book. All of them are written to be read in two minutes or less, with the reader able to read them in whatever order strikes their fancy. One might choose to read about the Miraculous Survival on the Island of Demons — all about a beautiful, young French woman who survived abandonment on a remote island off the northern tip of Newfoundland. Her picture, dressed in a bear hide, graces the front cover of the book. Other stories bear titles like The Grandest Canyon, One Tough Woman!, Totem Pole Pride, The Potato Accord, The Savage’s Wig, The Water Superhighway, Canadian Camels, The Great Bluenose Boondoggle, The Pianoman!, 9/11 and the Stanley Cup, You’re not legal, you’re a Woman!,
Forget the Red Baron!, The Almost Pig War, The Duelist, The Kidnapping, The Best Damn Satellite in Space, Marilyn Bell, Pirates of the Thousand Islands, The Newfoundland Florence Nightingale, Goodbye Colonel By and The Avro Arrow Mystery. As is stated on the book’s fly-leaf, “It’s all here. One hundred and fifty of the most interesting, wildest, craziest, far out, believe it or not stories about Canada ever published. This is not trivia. These are true stories about a country and its amazing people that you’ve probably never heard before, often because Lowell has done the research no one else has ever done before. You will be intrigued, shocked, amused and always entertained, and yes, you’ll learn some pretty amazing but true things about this country.” This book had its genesis when Green was visiting Lunenburg in Nova Scotia two summers ago. He was recognized there by a person who told him about Mona Parsons of Wolfville, N.S., who had an unbelievable experience in the Second World War and has a statue honouring her erected in Wolfville. Green looked into the Mona Parsons story, which is his self-proclaimed favourite story in the book, entitled From Chorus Girl to Hero. But, the See GREEN from page A/CP17
Understanding Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s disease is a chronic degenerative neurological disease. It is caused by a loss of dopamine producing cells in the brain. More than 100,000 Canadians have the disease.
A single cause for Parkinson’s has not been identified. Researchers are studying many theories such as the role of genetics and environmental exposure.
Most common symptoms are: tremor (shaking); slowness in movements, muscle stiffness and problems with balance. Other symptoms may also occur such as fatigue, difficulties with speech, writing, sleep disorders, loss of sense of smell, depression and cognitive changes. If your doctor suspects Parkinson’s, you will be referred to a neurologist for assessment and diagnosis.
CPDMH is pleased to collaborate with health partners to support people living with Parkinson’s in our local communities. Parkinson Canada offers support groups in the local area in Almonte, Perth and Arnprior.
The sessions provide an opportunity for people with Parkinson’s and their care partners to share their experience and discover new resources for daily living. Counselling and education sessions are also offered. For more information, visit www.parkinsons.ca or call 613-722-9238.
Parkinson’s will worsen over time, but each person with Parkinson’s is unique and may experience different symptoms. Most people manage their symptoms through medication and lifestyle changes. Other interventions such as exercise programs and speech therapy can also help.

GREEN
From page A/CP17
story got him thinking that there are probably a lot of stories involving Canadians that people do not know about. His wife then suggested that he compile 150 of these stories and publish them in time for Canada’s 150th birthday. Green, who is now retired from his full-time radio job, still does a 15-minute segment on CFRA Radio each weekday morning. While researching and writing this book, he would do this segment, have breakfast, and then spend the rest of the day doing research and writing for the book. He admits that the final 50 stories took a
lot of research to produce the kind of story that he wanted to populate this book. He did it, but adds that he was “pretty well pooped� at the end of the process. He does admit that Google was a great help in doing the research, as it provided access to information and newspaper accounts that proved invaluable in compiling the stories. The book has been released for a couple of weeks now, and Green — an author of 10 other books which have all been top sellers — feels that this new book will be his most successful ever. He says that it is more than just a book, but rather is “a keepsake� for Canada’s 150th birthday. He believes
that readers will not only learn about Canada by reading the book, but they will come to realize that Canada’s history is far from bland, and as shown in these 150 stories, it’s really exciting. The artwork in the book, including the front cover artwork and the artwork which accompanies many of the stories, was done by his son, Jeremy Milbank. The book, which sells for $26.95, is available at Chapters as well as various independent outlets around the area. The book, which has been published by Spruce Ridge Publishing, Green’s own publishing company, is also available at the website https:// lgreen.ca.
