County council halts Don Maynard Park rezoning BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Impassioned pleas from residents resonated strongly with Lanark County councillors Aug. 23 as they voted against allowing Mississippi Mills to proceed with an amendment to rezone parkland. The majority of county councillors turned down the amendment after hours of presentations and debate. The matter came to a meeting of the county’s economic development committee as it requires an amendment to Mississippi Mills’ Community Official Plan, which are approved at the county level. It was endorsed by Mississippi Mills back on May 16. It involves rezoning a portion of Block 40, known as Don Maynard Park, within Almonte’s Gale Street subdivision, from open space and parkland to residential to permit the creation of five single-detached lots. A 1.3-acre plot of land would remain for Don Maynard Park, which was dedicated to the late Don Maynard in 2003. Maynard passed away in 2004. The municipality hopes to collect $300,000 from the sale of the lots, which will be directed to improvements at Gemmill Park in Almonte with $100,000 going to upgrades in
the new footprint of the park. County council chambers was packed for the meeting with concerned residents, many of whom made delegations pleading with council to vote down the amendment. Mario Cocoluzzi, who lives at 40 Gale St., directly across from the park, outlined concerns over the process, claiming public consultation requirements hadn’t been met. He said the Aug. 9, 2016 public meeting on the issue was the only “real opportunity” residents had to voice their concerns and offer alternatives to selling the parkland. “The process, I believe, was just meant to appease the public’s concerns because the decision to sell was already a foregone conclusion,” Cocoluzzi stated, alleging that he has seen emails between Mississippi Mills CAO Diane Smithson and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, where Smithson offered to sell the two lots of land to the board in early 2016. With 350 in attendance for the Aug. 9 meeting and more than 1,300 signatures on a petition presented to the municipality, Cocoluzzi said it’s clear the majority of residents don’t want to See PARK page A/CP2

Lunn to host photo workshop at High Lonesome Nature Reserve Sept . 17 Ready to get re-inspired about photography and the natural world, or just learn more about the craft? Join naturalist and photographer Simon Lunn on Sunday, Sept. 17, as he shares his passion for photography at High Lonesome Nature Reserve in the Pakenham Hills. This special opportunity is limited to 12 people. This four-hour outdoor-based, hands-on workshop will highlight basic photographic techniques, as well as explore how you can capture that image in creative ways and from different perspectives. Lunn will be demonstrating some hands-on scenarios and passing on a few tips of the trade throughout the workshop. If you have a tip you think other participants should know about, you are encouraged to share it with the group. Although the workshop should appeal most to budding and intermediate photographers, there should be opportunities for all to learn. Whether you use a point-and-shoot camera, DSLR or smartphone, bring it along.
Lunn will be available after the workshop to answer questions on a one-onone basis. Lunn’s interest in the outdoors and passion for photography came early in life. He was lucky — his parents gave him a Brownie camera and introduced him to a photographic darkroom when he was a young lad, then took the family on outdoor field trips throughout rural areas of Ontario. The various jobs that later formed the early part of Simon’s career included photographing landscapes and plants and animals in their natural habitats, and then sharing the images through slide presentations to park visitors. After graduating from Acadia University with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in the 1970s, Lunn enjoyed a series of summer jobs with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Canadian Wildlife Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Parks Canada. His first full-time job as a park naturalist at Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia was followed by a 30-year career with Parks
Canada. He worked variously as a park planner, park interpreter and visitor services officer for national parks across Canada, including Cape Breton Highlands, Fundy, Kouchibouguac, PEI, and Waterton Lakes National Parks. He retired in 2004, following an 18-year stint with the Rideau Canal as an interpretation planner, visitor services officer and ecosystem scientist. More recently, Lunn has shared his images with various magazines, tourism agencies, cable TV stations, government agencies and non-profit organizations, and engaged his talents in the form of local photography workshops and community presentations. Some of his other interests include travelling, hiking, camping, canoeing and kayaking, Citizen Science and volunteering for organizations such as the Rideau Waterway and Mississippi Madawaska Land Trusts. Registration for the workshop starts at 10 a.m. Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased by credit card or direct debit through the ticket
order form at https://mmlt.ca/event/ photography-workshop-with-simonlunn. High Lonesome Nature Reserve is located at 867 Carbine Rd. in the Pakenham Hills. To reach High Lonesome, take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village and turn onto Waba
Road. Continue west for 2.9 kilometres, turn left on Barr Side Road and travel for 1.6 kilometres. Take the first left at Carbine Road, drive four kilometres to 867 Carbine Rd. and you have arrived. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust

The Festival of Small Halls returns with three weeks of music Sept. 14 BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
The opportunity to enjoy quality music and local hospitality in an intimate setting is back with The Festival of the Small Halls, kicking off for three weeks Thursday, Sept. 14. This will be the fourth year for the festival, billed as ‘Big music in little spaces,’ which runs over 12 days until Oct. 1. According to Festival of Small Halls general manager, Kelly Symes, the event is a way to not only introduce new music to people, but to showcase rural communities and their thriving facilities. “The concept for the festival originated in PEI. They have a Festival of Small Halls and so we were inspired by their model of using these rural community-run public spaces and decided to see if it would work in eastern Ontario,” she noted. And work it did. The festival kicked off its first year with three halls, but has scheduled shows for more than 30 in 2017. “That first year we started in Rideau Lakes and Leeds-Grenville and there was such a great response from the core volunteer teams at each hall that we’ve been able to see it substantially grow,” Symes said, indicating much of the success is owing to volunteers who work with organizers on the initiative. The public spaces can be anything
from halls known for their acoustics such as the Joshua Bates Centre in Athens or Almonte Old Town Hall, to event venues like Stonefields in Beckwith, churches and recreation centres. Symes noted 90 per cent of the halls have a historic value to them and are well-used in their communities. “Our goal is to rejuvenate the community or residents’ association when we use the hall and we feel it’s something they can get behind and bring people out to,” Symes said. People are able to explore and learn more about these rural spaces and the live music is a bonus. “We felt there was a growing interest in having more live music available close to home.” “People love going to these halls, not because they’re beautiful, but because the people inside of them are warm and kind. Those core values are what brings people in,” she added. Visitors from as far as Ottawa, Montreal and Kingston are also taking note of the festival’s popularity, making the drive to check out the concerts “for the experience,” Symes commented. “There’s something so cool and underground about it all,” she continued. “Where else can you see Great Lake Swimmers play to 100 people? That wouldn’t happen anywhere else. There’s an intimacy.” The popularity of the Festival of the Small Halls has also extended into
the holiday season and last year organizers introduced special Christmas shows, something Symes said will continue. “We did Almonte and Seeley’s Bay last year,” she said. So how do they pair the artists with the venue? “We have the inside scoop with the hosts,” Symes explained. “We know that in the Ottawa Valley, more Celtic and country music do well and in Chaffey’s Locks, for instance, they might be more inclined toward Canadian roots music.” Symes said musicians are chosen based on their live performances, with an emphasis on lively, energetic and memorable experiences with a broad appeal. “We don’t just have 20 artists that appeal to the 20 to 30 age range, but all the artists appeal to those from 18 to 70,” she stated. Each of the concerts also feature a local opener. “Based on who the headliner is, we pair the two together to make sure they fit,” Symes said. This year, the bands come from across Canada, including beloved children’s entertainer Fred Penner and fiddler Ashley MacIsaac. Following is the schedule for the festival. The concerts which have already sold out have not been listed. “The shows are quickly selling out and we’re trying to get people to buy tickets early so they don’t get disappointed,” Syme said.

EMA LEE FASHIONS CELEBRATES FOURTEEN YEARS! Laurie Weir/Metroland
$5,000 boost for local firefighters
The Drummond/North Elmsley Tay Valley Fire Rescue received a $5,000 donation from Enbridge on Monday, Aug. 28. The donation will be used for fire training and education materials for the department’s some 55 members. On hand for the presentation were Fred Dobbie, vice chair of the fire services board; Jamie LeBlanc from Enbridge; Gail Code, fire services chair; John Doucet, Fire Protection Advisor for the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management; and fire Chief Greg Saunders. Part of the criteria for the award is having a volunteer-based fire department, and that the 900-square-kilometre area covered by the department is serviced by Enbridge. LeBlanc said this year, “Enbridge is donating $100,000 in support of Project Assist – an educational initiative that helps fire departments in the communities we serve, to purchase educational materials that will enhance life-saving firefighting techniques.” It is the second time in this award’s six-year history that the local department has been presented with this financial boost.

BREAKING NEWS HOT OFF THE PRESS Ema lee Fashions is still opened and celebrating their fourteenth year! We are not ready to retire yet and our business etiquette would be to politely announce it to our many loyal customers old and new Everyone knows that the store is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 in the hamlet of Downtown Balderson. What people don’t know is why Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical everyday boutique. What makes it different? It’s the people! Here are a few examples: Fourteen years ago when we first opened Mr. and Mrs. Steve Clyne came into the store. He brought his guitar, sat in the “husbands chair” and played and sang while his wife shopped. This still happens! Customers come in; looked puzzled and then I can hear them humming to the same tune that he is playing. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Clyne! The late Miner Bell told me stories about the dances that took place in our building and how the nickelodeon machine would play “Irene Goodnight” over and over again. Men come in with their wives and tell how they use to deliver to my store when it was George Myers General Store or worked here years ago making Cheese and collecting milk. Others come in and within five minutes of talking, there is some kind of connection with history of family members that used to live in this beautiful area.
A McDougal family use to own the store and their family members from Oshawa told the story about how scarlet fever hit. They had to close the store because people were afraid to go near them. A McLaren family member from Alberta brought in framed photos and newspaper articles about their Grandmother Lillian Cameron being the first telephone operator in Balderson. A gentleman by the name of Dalton Bradley dropped off two of his wives hats to add to my vintage hat collection. She had been a nurse at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Then one day a customer came in and asked where did you get that hat? When I explained, she said that she had been with her mother the day that she had bought it and was pleased to see it on display. She was Mr. Bradley’s daughter.
courage and strength. What an inspiration! There has also been a lot of laughter at Ema Lee Fashions especially the days when the late Mrs. Ora Paul came in. Just when I was taking life too seriously or upset when someone tried to return a bathing suit at the end of the season, Ora actually helped me keep my act together. Thanks Ora. I’ve watched children grow up and come back to shop and show me their wedding or graduation pictures. I’ve met 100-103 years old ladies full of spunk come in and buy their Birthday Party Bling. One of the told me ‘My dear it’s all in the attitude!
So we are not only celebrating fourteen years in business but celebrating the journey of meeting such wonderful, interesting caring people at Ema Lee Fashions. More Two customers from Perth than a ladies fashion store! heard that my grandson was very ill As many customers have said ‘if back in 2008. They placed his name on a prayer list across Canada and you can’t find something to wear the US. That was nine years ago. here you are not shopping. Thank you! This Labour Day weekend I have seen customers with from Thursday to Monday we are medical conditions that chose to having our fourteenth anniversary carry on and fight with dignity, celebration sale.

Place and United Way of Lanark County continues to be strong supporters of this program. This year a grant application was submitted to the Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group C.A.R.E. program and a generous cash donation was given to the program. The cost of this program increases every year as well as the amount of referrals. The program started in 2002, back packs were provided to Connections families for their children going to junior or senior kindergarten. Backpack, litter-free lunch kits and school supplies are given and appropriate to the grade attending, from JK to grade 8. High school students received school supplies. Our focus is to make sure that elementary and primary grades get a new backpack at the beginning of the school year. With limited funds the hope is that next year we will raise enough money to cover the
cost to give the high school students not only school supplies but a backpack as well. Back to school can be a stressful time for parents and for children. Pressure to have the right school supplies, new shoes, clothes and sporting equipment can take a toll on families. Parents are thrilled when they receive their packs, they are excited to give
them to their children. The children are always happy to see the new bag and supplies. Connections is a community-based program serving families in Lanark County. Our goal is to provide a continuum of support to families who are pregnant or have children age 0-6. We provide a Birth Companion program, prenatal Good Food for a Healthy
Baby groups, parent/child playgroups, a home-visiting program and parent education groups throughout Lanark County. If you are interested in supporting our program next year, please give Joane a call on 613-257-2779 ext. 3106. Again, thank you to all who support our back-to-school program! Submitted by Connections

COMMENTARY
O
Do not fall for calls
ne of those telephone scams is apparently still making the rounds, prompting the RCMP to issue an advisory to Ontarians this past week. We’ve noted this one or something similar to it before, but it bears repeating in order to try and prevent more people from being victimized. The caller claims to be an RCMP officer seeking to collect fines or income taxes or a variety of other fraud-related tactics. The recipient of the call must pay up immediately or else face being arrested within 24 hours. In some cases, the phone number for the RCMP appears on the prospective victim’s call display. The RCMP indicated that it does not contact individuals to collect fines or taxes; the caller’s threat is meant “…to create such shock and anxiety that victims respond by sending money quickly in order to fix the problem,” according to an RCMP release. Anyone who receives such a call or knows someone who has can contact the local police service or the Canadian Anti-Fraud
I
Centre at 1-888-495-8501. Spread the word about the scam to raise awareness and possibly save someone who might be susceptible to the threatening tactic from falling for the fraud and losing his or her money. Also, keep in mind that Canada Revenue Agency does not call and insist that someone can solve his or her tax arrears problem (which probably doesn’t exist) by rushing out and buying VISA gift cards and then turning over the cash value. And the agency is no longer called Revenue Canada even though many of us still refer to it that way. A caller claiming to be from Revenue Canada is trying to steal your money, plain and simple. Don’t divulge any personal information such as bank account or credit card numbers, and don’t be afraid to tell others about your experience. By doing so, you could be helping a family member or friend from making an embarrassing and costly mistake.
The gas iron made Mother hot under the collar
t wasn’t like every other Saturday morning. Mother had loaded the Model T the night before for all her door-to-door deliveries in Renfrew that she did every week. But that Saturday was different. Mrs. Stewart, (we called her the ‘rich Mrs. Stewart’) had also ordered two dozen of Mother’s sticky buns with her usual order of eggs, butter and one fat chicken. That meant I would have to help Mother take the order to the kitchen door, and I’d get another peek into the kitchen, which was almost as big as our whole house! Mother rapped gently, and the door was opened by Mrs. Stewart herself, and I could see she was ironing.

But it wasn’t like our ironing board on the farm that she was using. This board had its own legs, not like ours, which was really only a rough board, wrapped in flannelette sheets, and when used was put on the backs of two chairs. And the irons had to be heated on the hot elements of our cook stove before you could use them. But Mrs. Stewart’s iron sure was different. It had a bulb affair at one end, and what looked like a pipe going upwards. “This is a brand new type of iron, Mrs. Haneman,” Mrs. Stewart said when she saw us looking at it. “It heats with gas.” She looked as proud as punch, as
if she had just discovered gold! “And it heats very quickly...far quicker than the electric plugin I can tell you.” She propped it on its end, and I could hear it sizzle, and steam came out onto the damp and starched doily she was ironing. Mrs. Stewart made some comment that Mother should have a gas iron, since she was pretty sure we had no electricity on the farm, and it would
sure beat heating the flat irons on the cook stove. Mother already had her money in her purse, her hand on the doorknob, and was pushing me out onto the street. It seemed all she was interested in was getting far away from Mrs. Stewart’s swanky house with the gas iron, and as fast as possible. She plopped into the Model T, let out a big sigh and then put her head down on the steering wheel. “Whew,” she said, as if she had just been relieved of some heavy load. “Whew,” she said again. I dared to ask her what all the fuss was about. “Did you see that iron? Well, let me tell you about a gas iron my friend Rosy had in her New York

It looked just like that one too.” Mother was breathing hard, as if the memory was causing her pain. “The first time Rosy used it, she called me in from next door to see this new invention. Well! It hissed, it sputtered, and the blue smoke came out of it, and then there was this big puff. It hit the ceiling, taking Rosie’s husband’s best white shirt with it, and there was a hole in the ceiling as big as a pumpkin.” Mother took a hanky out of her purse and wiped her forehead. The memory almost too much for her. “No thank you. I’ll stick with the flat irons I heat on the cook stove until we get electricity.” And I knew

that wasn’t going to happen any time soon. Mother started the car, driving away from the curb and headed down to the main street. She was still running down the gas iron when we hit the Northcote Side Road a couple hours later. She said we were lucky to get out of that house alive, and she was sure that one day we’d read in the Renfrew Mercury about a gas iron explosion at one of the richest houses in Renfrew!

Love’s quirky farmer anchors mystery thriller at Classic Theatre in Perth Following a star turn in the Classic Theatre Festival’s award-winning production of Arms and the Man, Toronto actor Alastair Love has returned to Perth to play the role of a mysterious farmer in the “comedythriller” I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, the annual nail-biter that plays at the Festival’s main stage until Sept. 10 at 54 Beckwith St. E. I’ll Be Back before Midnight, the most produced play in Canadian history, is an Alfred Hitchcock-styled psychological thriller about a young Toronto couple who leave the big city to get away from it all, only to encounter weird happenings in their rented spooky old country farmhouse. Penned by prolific Canadian writer Peter Colley, who also recently opened a new musical about the life of Terry Fox, Marathon of Hope, it combines the spine-tingling building of tension and quirky humour of a Hitchcock film. Anyone who has ever appreciated the unexpected chill from listening to a ghost tale around the campfire will enjoy the compelling tale in which not everything is as it first seems. Ques-

tions immediately arise: who can be trusted as a friend, and have those you think you know best been putting on a game face while working behind your back to undermine your stability? In the middle of it all is Love’s portrayal of George, a quirky fellow whose dime-store philosophies and mistrust of city slickers combine to create a curiously endearing character whose decisions will play a key role as the mystery builds to a stunning conclusion. For the gravelly-voiced Love, every moment on the stage is one he seizes with profound passion, a professional performer still inspired by his very first appearance on the stage as a six-year-old in a production of The Muffin Man. “I always remember and get revisited every time I am on stage by that special feeling of connection in a special place with the other actors, and there’s really nothing else like it that I know of,” Love says. That connection with his fellow performers in Midnight — Lauren Horejda, Lindsay Robinson, and Chandel Gambles — creates a tight ensemble whose work has been applauded by sellout houses
as well as theatre reviewers alike. Love originally hails from Sarnia, where his family helped found a major music theatre company which staged three large-scale musicals a year, often with casts of up to 80 community members. While he held down a day job in the area’s oil industry, his dream was always to pursue a professional acting career, and so after 15 years of 12-hour shifts, he took the bold step of moving to Toronto. His former workmates were incredulous that he would give up the security of steady pay and a pension for a life in the theatre, but it's what Love wanted more than anything. He recalls a “local boy does good” interview in which, from Toronto, he told his Sarnia hometown newspaper that working in the oil industry was like working in the mines, “which took people in young and spit them out old with a guaranteed retirement.” Despite the challenges, Love says the journey has been worth it, especially when he can spend his summers in Perth, a town he loves for its community spirit and friendly welcome.

Carleton Place ices second junior hockey team for CCHL2 season In terms of normal weather it has been a short summer and now, like it or not, fall is just around the corner. One sure sign is the arrival of the junior hockey season. In Carleton Place, where we live, the 2017-18 campaign promises to be particularly interesting. The town is already home to the four-time defending Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) champion Carleton Place Canadians, a team that has put up some truly amazing numbers considering they are the newest entry in the 12-team, Eastern Ontario Jr. A circuit. When the new campaign begins with the annual CCHL Showcase in Kanata this weekend (Labour Day) Carleton Place will be looking to add another winning chapter to their already impressive record book. The team’s on-ice success also includes three straight Fred Page Cups (Eastern Canadian Jr. A championship) from 2014 to 2016 and two consecutive appearances in the final game of the Royal Bank Cup national Jr. A championship tournament in 2014 and 2015. This season, however, the Canadians won’t be the only game in town. Carleton Place will welcome a second team when a brand new entry in CCHL 2 (once the Eastern Ontario Jr. B Hockey League) takes to the ice Sept. 9.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
The new team, also nicknamed Canadians, will play in the eight team Richardson Division of the 16 team Jr. B level league. Among the entries in their division will be Lanark County rival Perth Blue Wings, a team which has enjoyed strong success in recent years. Longtime Carleton Place fans will be very familiar with some of the teams in Canadians’ division. Renfrew Timberwolves and Arnprior Packers were longtime rivals during the nearly 40 years Carleton Place Kings played in the Jr. B loop. So, why would a community have two junior hockey teams? And why are they both nicknamed Canadians? The answers to those questions are simple. It’s because both teams are owned by the same man. Jason Clarke is the head coach, general manager and owner of the Jr. A Canadians. Now he has thrown his hat back into the Jr. B arena. I say back because prior to introducing the then expansion Jr. A Canadians
eight years ago, Clarke coached the teams in the league last season so we former Jr. B Carleton Place Kings to have a lot of returnees, a lot of veterback-to-back titles in 2008 and 2009. ans in the lineup,” Clarke says. He adds that normally Canadians Clarke and his excellent scouting staff have proven to be outstanding would be looking at 12-14 newcomrecruiters at the Jr. A level. They ers. So with such a large turnover Jr. quickly built a winning team and A teams need to have more talent four straight titles underlines the waiting in the wings if they wish to further their success. For Clarke and fact. his staff, that’s where the CCHL 2 Scholarships key The objective of most players who comes in. Prior to this season Carleton choose Jr. A hockey is to qualify for a scholarship at a major Ameri- Place placed several young recruits can university or college. In doing with CCHL 2 teams based all across so, they can combine the sport they Eastern Ontario. It is much harder to love with education. The best of the keep tabs on future talent when they best move on to professional hockey are playing elsewhere. Therefore Clarke decided to buy and certainly the CCHL can boast scores of examples over the course the former Clarence Creek Beavers of its 56-year history. For those who CCHL 2 franchise, which was for don’t make the pros (the vast major- sale and establish a second team in ity) getting a good education is key Carleton Place. With both teams under one roof managing players to their future. If graduating players to U.S. col- will be an easier task. Some players lege ranks is a measure of success — will see duty with both clubs over and surely it is — then the Carleton the course of the long junior hockey Place Canadians are at the head of campaign. Pembroke Lumber Kings have the class. During their brief history six to eight players per season have done the same thing with owner Dale McTavish purchasing the former been awarded scholarships. This season Clarke anticipates Prescott Flyers CCHL 2 side and just six new faces in the lineup when moving it to Cobden for the coming the Jr. A Canadians hit the ice for campaign. The CCHL 2 Canadians will be the annual, season opening CCHL Showcase which begins Friday at coached by former Ottawa 67’s star John Ollson who went on to play Bell Sensplex in Kanata. “We were one of the youngest pro hockey in North America and
Europe. His assistants will include Carleton Place native Ryan Jardine another past Major Junior star who was drafted by Florida Panthers of the NHL in 1998. Jardine played most of his 14-year pro career in the American Hockey League and in Europe. As for acceptance of two teams in one community Clarke is confident fans will adopt the new club. “We have great junior hockey fans in Carleton Place and Jr. A season ticket holders can get some great deals on Jr. B (CCHL 2) games,” he explains. “We also have strong corporate support here. Now our sponsors will get twice the exposure,” Clarke notes. The newest team of Canadians begins play in the CCHL 2 Showcase at Richcraft Sensplex in east Ottawa Sept. 9 and 10. Their first home game will be Tuesday, Sept. 12 when they host Athens Aeros. The Jr. A team will face two-time finalists, the Ottawa Junior Senators, in their home opener Friday, Sept. 8 at 7:45 p.m. It promises to be a very entertaining junior hockey season, especially if you are a Carleton Place Canadians’ fan.

The inaugural Drop the Shame and Get in the Game Charity Golf Tournament was held Tuesday, July 18 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. The event, co-ordinated by Drop the Shame and the Wesley Clover Foundation, raised $14,455 in support of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre (DSYTC) Foundation. The idea for the fundraiser was conceived by DSYTC graduate Hunter Knight, who hoped to drop the shame around youth drug use in order to help others facing the same struggles he did with drug addiction. Above, the donation is presented to the DSYTC Foundation.

On Sept. 1, the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) will welcome a group of more than 200 new students from around the world to an orientation event at Thousand Islands Secondary School in Brockville. Incoming students will have a chance to attend information sessions, meet other students and learn about the region though a number of games and activities. The UCDSB international education has been bringing students to Canada for the last 10 years. Enrolment in the international program has increased annually with more than 400 students expected to study at schools across the UCDSB throughout the 2017-18 school year. Many students arriving in September will be in Canada for a period of one school year; however, others come with the intention of obtaining their Ontario Secondary School Diploma and moving on to post-secondary studies in Canada. “The success and continued growth of this program has been incredibly positive for the region and our local schools,” stated Matthew Raby, the program’s executive director. “Our enrolment continues to climb along with the diversity of our students. In September we will have students from 25 countries studying at 22 schools. Students from around the world are drawn to Canada for both the quality of education and quality of living we offer. As more students enrol with the UCDSB we are improving the international recognition, infusing local schools with diversity and international perspectives and driving economic development throughout our local communities. “The majority of international students studying at UCDSB schools live with local families through our partnership with the Canada Homestay Network,” said Matthew. “It’s a great way for the students to immerse themselves into the language and their new home communities. The program would not be successful without the support of families across the UCDSB. We are always looking for more people across all of our communities to get involved. If anyone is interested they can visit www.whyihost. ca for more information.” International students will be studying locally at North Grenville District High School in Kemptville, Carleton Place High School, Almonte and District High School, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, Perth and District Collegiate Institute as well as Rideau District High School in Elgin.

OPP concerned about increase in charges for drivers who fail to move over For the second consecutive year, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reporting one of the highest numbers of charges laid in recent history against drivers who failed to slow down and/ or move over for emergency vehicles. In 2016, the OPP laid 2,443 Move Over (and related) charges, surpassing 2015, which also saw a significant increase over previous years. The number of charges has steadily increased since 2011 — a clear sign that many drivers still fail to consider the well-being of the roadside emergency workers the law aims to protect. “With the Move Over law now 15 years old, it has long shed its label as 'Ontario's little-known law', making driver ignorance a poor excuse for non-compliance,” stated Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support. “In light of all efforts on the part of the OPP, our policing partners, and the media to raise awareness about this law every year, it is unacceptable to see drivers mark the last two years with some of the worst
compliance on record.” Increase in Move Over charges • 2011 — 1,181 • 2012 — 1,346 • 2013 — 1,404 • 2014 — 1,593 • 2015 — 2,050 • 2016 — 2,443 The OPP conducted another Move Over campaign Aug. 4 to 7 and drivers are being reminded that there are two equally important parts to this law: — HTA Section 159(2) requires drivers to slow down when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle from the same side of the road with its lights flashing. — On multi-lane highways, HTA 159(3) requires drivers to move over a lane, if it can be done safely. Drivers are also being reminded that the law was amended in 2015 to include tow trucks parked on the roadside with their amber lights flashing. “The safety of our emergency vehicles is critical, and it is the duty of all
road users to ensure they are aware of their surroundings and drive responsibly. It's the law to slow down and move over for emergency vehicle operators and staff, including tow trucks. Those who disobey this law can face a possible fine of up to $490,” noted Minister of Transportation Steven
Del Duca. Did you know …? Last year (2016), there were at least 11 incidents in which an OPP vehicle was stopped/parked on the roadside and was struck from behind while its emergency lights were activated. This law carries a $400 to $2,000
fine plus three demerit points upon conviction. Subsequent offences (within five years) carry a $1,000 to $4,000 fine, possible jail time of up to six months, and possible suspension of your driver's licence for up to two years. Submitted by the OPP

Smiths Falls cadet selected for Advanced Aviation Technology Becoming a pilot is more than just learning how to fly. It also takes hard work in learning and understanding the operations and systems within an airport. Cadet Owen Baillon from 585 Rideau Squadron in Smiths Falls, is pursuing this critical knowledge this summer as he has been selected for the Advanced Aviation Technology – Airport Operations Course at Canadore Cadet Training Centre from July 9, 2017 to Aug. 18, 2017. Advanced Aviation Technology – Airport Operations is a six-week course that introduces cadets to the various components of operating an airport. Cadets will learn about airside operations, meteorology, navigation, air traffic services, ground services, and safety. They will also examine some of the history and advancements in the aviation industry and explore employment opportunities. This summer, Baillon said he is most looking forward to “meeting people from across the nation that have the same love for aviation that I do.” There are approximately 60 air cadets who
complete the Advanced Aviation Technology – Airport Operations Course at Canadore just like Cadet Baillon. When asked what he enjoys the most about training at Canadore, he said, “I enjoy the diversity of people here, Canada is represented here.” Canadore Cadet Training Centre is located in North Bay. This Training Centre offers two courses within the Advanced Aviation Technology spectrum: Aircraft Maintenance, and Airport Operations. Canadore has provided this elite training since 2007 where hundreds of cadets have completed their training and were filled with a sense of accomplishment. They bring their new skills back to their local squadrons to share with their peers and to inspire others to follow in their footsteps. The cadet program is open to all youth between the ages of 12-18 years of age with a focus on leadership, citizenship and healthy living.

Lanark Highlands Township has new clerk administrator Lanark Highlands Township has a new clerk administrator/deputy treasurer. Mayor Brian Stewart recently announced the news. “On behalf of council, I wish to announce two developments that will not only provide for stability in terms of leadership in the management of township operations but also enhance our ability to meet challenges in the area of financial management of the township,” he wrote in a press release. “First, I am very pleased to announce that Allison Vereyken will be appointed to the position of clerk administrator/deputy treasurer for the Township of Lanark Highlands effective Sept. 26, 2017.” A graduate of Lakehead University (Business Administration – Accounting), Vereyken’s practical experience includes her role as Assistant Controller for Greenwood Paving. In that role, Vereyken was responsible for all financial aspects of the business including human resources compensation management and employee health and safety. More recently, as the treasurer/deputy clerk for the Township of Greater Madawaska, Vereyken
was responsible for financial management and human resource functions, including labour relations and policy development. Vereyken is in the process of obtaining her CPA designation. She is now a resident of Lanark Highlands, was successful in two recent Lanark Highlands’ staffing processes (CAO and Treasurer) in 2016. “Although placing first, Vereyken was unable to accept an appointment to the position of Treasurer at the time of the competition. We are very pleased that she has agreed to join the township in the position of clerk administrator/deputy treasurer,” Stewart noted. Secondly, the township is in the process of finalizing a “shared services agreement” with the County of Lanark for the appointment of Joan Pratt, CPA, as the township’s treasurer on a halftime basis. This will save the municipality approximately $50,000 annually and will also provide the Township access to other county resources in the finance department to assist with specific requirements on an as needed basis. Shared services agreements have recently been promoted as an excellent tool, especially for small rural municipalities such as ours, for providing
services to communities in a more efficient and effective manner. Although Pratt will carry out the overall responsibilities for the financial management of the Township, Ms. Vereyken as the Deputy Treasurer will be able to provide day to day support to Township staff on financial matters. As previously announced, Stacey Blair’s last day as clerk administrator will be Aug. 23. Council wishes to extend Stacey our sincere best wishes as she fulfills a career goal by taking on her new responsibilities for the Town of Carleton Place. In the interim, Steven Potter will carry out the duties of clerk administrator on a contract basis until “Ms. Vereyken starts her employment with us. Mr. Potter, a resident of Lanark Village, has been called on, for a number of years, to provide human resources management advice to both Council and staff,” said he mayor. “On behalf of council I would like to extend an enthusiastic welcome to Ms. Vereyken and Ms. Pratt as well as Mr. Potter and I am confident that their contributions to the overall management of the Township’s operations will be appreciated by both staff and residents.”

Lucky Logan serves up the unexpected with wonderful results MOVIE: Lucky Logan STARRING: Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Katie Holmes, Riley Keough and Daniel Craig DIRECTOR: Steven Soderbergh RATING: PG If there's one thing Steven Soderbergh knows it's the heist film. The man behind the Ocean's movies is the master of the set-up, the elaborate plan, and the clever twist. With Lucky Logan he does it again. Set in God's country West Virginia, we're introduced to an assortment of characters. Our main hero is Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum). He's recently lost his construction job at the speedway. His ex Bobbie Jo (Katie Holmes) and her husband are moving, which means Jimmy's daughter is also moving away. Life has kicked Jimmy pretty hard so he decides to kick back. Jimmy goes to his brother Clyde (Adam Driver) with a plan to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Jimmy has it all figured out, but as his brother points out they're going to need someone to blow the vault. Fortunately they know the perfect someone and where to find him. Joe Bang (Daniel Craig) is an expert in explosives. He's also in prison. So Jimmy's plan is to break him out, rob the speedway, and get Joe back before anyone notices. You have to love the simplicity. At first glance this looks like it's going to be a comedy of errors. Jimmy's a former high school football star with a bad knee. His brother is a one-armed bartender. Their sister, Mellie (Riley Keough) is a hairdresser with a love of driving fast cars, and Joe Bang likes to blow things up. However, Soderbergh is playing with these stereotypes to make you think the film is going one way so he can turn the tables on you and give
DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT!
My Take MARK HASKINS
you something unexpected. Lucky Logan has no car chases. There are no gunfights. It has some funny moments but it's by no means a comedy of errors. It is a clever and intricate heist film. What you get are some very interesting characters executing their plan with clockwork precision. You get a funny and heartwarming story. You get drawn in by these characters and their plan, and you get blown away by the twist. The cast is so good. They start by presenting the stereotypical red-neck characters, but then they go beyond to give you something more. Channing Tatum and Adam Driver are brilliant. I love Katie Holmes and Riley Keough. Farrah Mackenzie who plays Jimmy's daughter Sadie is an absolute scene stealer. Then there's Daniel Craig who steals the whole show. This character is such a juxtaposition from what we're used to seeing him play. It is hard to even imagine him as this redneck bank robber, but of course Joe Bang isn't just a redneck bank robber. Craig nails it. Lucky Logan isn't a laugh-out-loud comedy, or a high-intensity action film. It plays with your expectations and misconceptions, to give something different, unexpected and so much better. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
It’s better to cultivate health than to treat a disease.
The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

Hotel to reopen as boutique wedding and events destination BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The hotel at 7 Bridge St. in Carleton Place has been an anchor in the downtown core forever, just like the town hall at the other end. Over the past 145 years, the property has seen it all — elegance, intrigue and tragedy. The hotel is set to reopen as a lavish boutique wedding and events destination under the partnership of Rod Scribner, Steve Moodie and couple Janice Mathers and Joel Schramek. It will be called The Grand Hotel. The Canadian Gazette sat down earlier with Scribner, Mathers and Schramek to talk about the plans for the space. Mathers and Schramek know a thing or two about hosting beautiful weddings. The husband and wife own Evermore Weddings and Events in Almonte. At one time the home of Dr. James Naismith, the creator of basketball, Evermore is described as a picturesque wedding venue with 45 acres of land and a rustic barn from the 1890s. It has landscaped grounds and waterfalls, and it can accommodate a maximum of 200 people. “We have owned Evermore for three years, and Weddingbells magazine just named it one of Canada’s loveliest wedding venues for 2017,” Mathers said. The Grand Hotel will be opened as a sister venue. “It is ideal for us,” Scribner said. “Evermore can send its grateful wedding clients this way.” He explained there are lovely bed

He is the mastermind behind Le Maison Conroy in Gatineau and Salt Dining and Lounge in Ottawa. He is the exclusive caterer for Evermore events. Vision Schramek noted it was always his wife’s dream to have a hotel and boutique wedding venue that could be decorated to the fullest. “My wife is a wonderful designer and decorator,” he added.
“I am very much about the old world feel ... I will be channelling the exquisite 1920s style,” Mathers said. “Romantic, classic.” The owners want to honour the history of the grandiose hotel, which is why they chose the name, The Grand Hotel. “It is a real tip of the hat to the history of the place,” Schramek noted, and “the 1920s was a decade summed up aptly by one mere word: glamorous.” The Grand Hotel has secured one of the area’s top chefs — Nick Dompierre, and the goal is simple: to pro-

lose the park. “You have nothing to gain from pushing for this amendment,” he told county council. “The town, as an entity, yields five new homes, which honestly is a drop in the bucket for the town’s finances. However, the citizens of Mississippi Mills have a great deal to lose, We, as a town, have gone through terrible moments this past year and town council should be ashamed of themselves. This whole process has been a divisive and disheartening experience to say the least...” “What you decide here will be far reaching,” Cocoluzzi continued. “It no longer has anything to do with selling one park or renovating another. It’s all about power and control, so please, I beg you, give the power and control back to the citizens of Mississippi Mills.” Almonte resident Jan Maydan spoke about the errors contained in the 2013 parks and recreation master plan, created by Stantec Consulting. It was a recommendation in this report that suggested selling the parkland. “The Stantec report contains uncorrected errors on park sizes based on information from the town,” she explained. “For example, Don Maynard Park was listed as being one acre when it’s actually closer to two…” She cited issues with public consultation on the master plan as well, which surveyed 147 people, but 14 of those individuals stated they lived outside of Mississippi Mills, “leaving 133 people out of more than 12,000, or 1.1 per cent of the population.” Ed Wilson, a former Almonte and Mississippi Mills councillor, who served three years as a Lanark County councillor as well, noted he had “never before saw such a solid, unified stand regarding an issue.” Maynard’s son Steve presented to the economic development committee, the issues the amendment has conforming to the Provincial Policy Statement, Mississippi Mills Community Official Plan (COP) and Lanark County Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP). “Is it a reasonable conclusion that destroying Don Maynard Park is residential infilling?” he said. “The Community Official Plan’s heritage goals and objectives are ‘to recognize the areas of heritage as being of central importance to the community’s sense of identity, to protect and enhance the areas built and natural heritage resources for
the cultural historic, architectural and/or economic value to the community.’” He asked county councillors to carefully review the submissions provided to them by residents and “consider the intent of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Mississippi Mills COP and the Lanark County SCOP. “I believe that you will find that saving Don Maynard Park is not only the correct technical decision, but it is also the right thing to do, as people, for people,” Steve concluded. “We’re very concerned about the decision you’re going to make,” added Brian Gallagher, Mississippi Mills resident and president of the Pakenham, Ramsay, Almonte Taxpayers Advocacy Coalition. “It impacts strongly on so many people. Heavy hearts, heavy concerns about what this decision is going to be and how a park as beautiful as Don Maynard Park could be desecrated and the memory of Don Maynard desecrated in the same way.” Planner recommends amendment Later in the meeting, Jp2g Consulting’s director of planning, Brian Whitehead, presented his report on the Official Plan amendment. “This is a very emotional issue for many people; it’s a very political issue,” he said. “I’ll leave the politics to you people (council). I’m a planner, a land use planner and I think my role tonight is to provide council with what I believe are the planning elements…the weight of your decision should be based on planning merit.” Whitehead went through the amendment, which proposes the creation of two lots on the left side of the current park and three on the right side with a 150-foot depth and 50 feet of frontage on Gale Street. He commented that the neighbourhood was “a nice residential area,” predominantly single-detached dwellings, so the rezoning would be compatible with the area. “The park is going to residential. It’s residential in the neighbourhood and from a planning point of view, a residential proposal in a residential area is compatible,” Whitehead noted. “It’s hard to argue with this. It’s in somebody’s backyard, unfortunately in this case, but the planning argument is that residential is compatible with residential.” “The park is not leaving. It’s being altered,” he said. “There still will be a park there, it will just be reduced in size.” In his review, he looked at
the Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement, Mississippi Mills COP, the Lanark County SCOP, public and agency comments. “It’s quite clear under the Planning Act that the municipality has the authority to sell parkland that has been acquired as part of a parkland dedication,” Whitehead explained, adding that the only stipulation is the funds received from the sale of parkland must be spent on recreation. He said the COP should be the focus of discussion, noting the parks and recreation policies in the COP are “a bit tricky.” In particular he singled out the neighbourhood parks classification, which noted that neighbourhood parks should be located in residential areas, adjacent to schools, easily accessible to pedestrians with street frontage. “It (Don Maynard Park) ticks every one of those items off and it complies with those features. There’s no argument there, but what it’s saying is, it ‘should’ comply,” he stated. “So, when I read that policy, it doesn’t say ‘shall,’ it doesn’t say ‘will’ and it doesn’t say ‘must.’” The other area of the COP deals with parkland standards and outlines three steps if the municipality is to create a park or make a change to an existing park. Those include public consultation on its functions and uses, the general concept and cost estimates and implementation details, etc. “Rightly or wrongly and there are differences of opinion and this is where it might get a little political or emotional, the municipality did follow the process,” Whitehead remarked. “They had a public information centre. There were options presented…at the end of the day, after consideration of all options, they opted for a solution that would permit five lots and retain a portion of the park as a neighbourhood park and allocate some of the monies to improving that park… they decided that was in the best interest of their municipality as a council. The public does not support that for the reasons you’ve heard.” Public comments he received were all in opposition to the amendment, citing a flawed process and flawed parks and recreation master plan. Other concerns were decreased property values and an increase in traffic in the neighbourhood. “From a planning perspective, how does a residential use devalue a property that has adjacent residential uses?” WhiteSee DECISION page A/CP16

Council approves $11,500 peer review for Bodnar subdivision stormwater pond BY TARA GESNER

However, “about 100 yards from Roy Brown Park, near Highway 7, is a massive, vacant and unutilized storm pond,” he continued. The councillor asked if the terms of reference could include the possibility of taking advantage of the vacant, unutilized storm pond for the Bodnar subdivision. Located off Johnston Street, Knowles confirmed the town’s taxpayers own the storm pond. “It is the stormwater management facility built as part of the final phase of Westview Heights subdivision,” he explained. “Anything we can do to divert 580 homes from dumping into the Mississippi River upstream ... a portion of these homes could be directed to the vacant storm pond, and if we do not look at it know it is there forever,” Black said. “Are we going to fill it in and try to sell it?” he asked. “Now is the time to do the proper planning on this storm pond ... I think I made my point.” Knowles noted the outlet to the pond is extremely small, and the bottom is all rock, among other concerns. “Maybe it needs oversize piping, an engineering design change to accommodate the Bodnar subdivision,” Black commented. “If we do not do it now, we will end up with a vacant storm pond.” Bowes added Black’s comment to the list being provided to AJ Robinson.

Other pond Coun. Doug Black, who strongly opposes the proposed stormwater management pond in Roy Brown Park to service the Bodnar subdivision, questioned staff on the terms of reference for the upcoming peer review. “Can we see them, or could you refresh my memory, Paul (chief administrative officer Paul Knowles)?” he inquired. Knowles noted the plan is for AJ Robinson to become familiar with the project, meeting with representatives from the town and community – those who stressed concerns – “so they have an opportunity to fully, completely understand.” “The consultant will then meet with the design engineer,” he continued. “The designer must then go away and respond to all concerns, and hopefully, come up with something the peer reviewer endorses.” Knowles added the peer reviewer would come back and meet with town and community representatives, providing feedback and answering questions. “So, things like alternative solutions to the storm pond would be part of the terms of reference?” Black asked. Bowes stressed all concerns and comments regarding the Bodnar subdivision would be provided to AJ Robinson. “As we know, we have 580 homes discharging stormwater at this point in time into a pending storm pond located in Roy Brown Park,” Black said.

Coun. Doug Black, who strongly opposes the proposed stormwater management pond in Roy Brown Park to service the Bodnar subdivision, is suggesting an alternate storm pond be utilized. According to Black, the “massive, vacant and unutilized storm pond” is located about 100 yards from Roy Brown Park, near Highway 7. It is the stormwater management facility built as part of the final phase of Westview Heights subdivision.

Council members in Carleton Place traded their shorts and sunglasses for suits and dresses on Aug. 22, for the group’s second special meeting before the summer hiatus ends. During the policy review segment, which was chaired by Mayor Louis Antonakos, the council members carried a motion for staff to issue a purchase order to AJ Robinson to complete a peer review of the Bodnar subdivision stormwater design. Two of the four firms invited to bid on the project submitted quotes: AJ Robinson ($11,500) and Novatech ($12,320). The Bodnar subdivision is located in the northwest corner of Carleton Place, on the south side of Lake Avenue West and extending south to Highway 7. The developer is Cavanagh Construction Ltd. 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. Antonakos noted the bids were very close in price. However, “after review of the consultant’s qualification and approach to the assignment, the (town’s) urban forest/river corridor advisory committee recommends engaging AJ Robinson,” he said. The public was given a chance to provide input on the Bodnar subdivision at a public meeting on July 25. At the time, manager of developmental services Joanna Bowes noted the application for subdivision was supported by a number of technical documents and studies, including an environment impact statement (EIS) and servicing and stormwater management report. “No concerns were raised 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 said. For example: The desire to protect drinking water and the local environment. On July 25, the urban forest/ river corridor advisory committee requested the stormwater management report be peer reviewed, and names of potential reviewers were provided.

ous, bringing in chandeliers and more,” Schramek said. The fine dining room is a very beautiful room, and there is not a lot of work that needs to be done in there. “We will limit the art in the dining room ... only the grand mirror above the fireplace and two other pieces,” Scribner explained. “We will let the food and service do the talking.” “It will be open three days a week — Thursday, Friday and Saturday — a place customers want to come for a very special occasion,” Mathers said. “We will offer something small towns do not see often, and at a really good value,” Scribner noted. He proposed a three-course table d’hôte, with entree, main and dessert, all for $39. They also plan to host a jazz night on the first Thursday of every
month, bringing in Peter Brown and friends. The ballroom in The Grand Hotel is the ideal venue for not only weddings, but also parties and corporate events. The 5th annual Business Awards of Excellence Gala, presented by the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce will be held there on Oct. 20. Scribner said they bought the hotel from the Seccaspina family for a seven-figure amount. “It was not cheap — a large sum,” he added. Major renovations have taken place in the hotel’s 15 rooms, from new flooring to custom beds. “We ripped out all the showers ... doing a vintage feel in the bathrooms,” Scribner described. “We are bringing back that 1920s feel.” Facebook photo “We have 14 rooms with kingThe Grand Hotel’s pub will be called Smith & Barrel, paying homage to size beds and one with a queen-size the barrel makers and blacksmiths that used to be in Carleton Place. bed,” he added.

“It is a beautiful room,” Scribner stated. “All rooms will be opulent, from towels to soaps.” The hotel will be open to the public to rent rooms. “We want to bring people into Carleton Place,” Schramek stressed. “This is another good thing for the town,” Mayor Louis Antonakos told this newspaper. “We are in desperate need of accommodations and this will help fill that void.” “I am happy this group chose Carleton Place for its business and investment,” he added. “From a community standpoint, we have been saying we want a hotel here, and from a tourism standpoint, it means we can expand our offerings from a day trip destination to accommodating overnight guests, which is a big deal,” communication’s co-ordinator Amanda Charania said. “I hope it will be another key element to the rejuvenation of our downtown core,” Antonakos stated. There is no official opening date yet for The Grand Hotel. For more information, contact Scribner at 613-262-2411 or Mathers and Schramek at 613-890-2870. Times past Originally called the Mississippi Hotel, Napoleon Lavallee built the structure from Beckwith limestone in 1872, and he sold it to Walter McIlquham in 1883. Seven years later, the hotel was enlarged from 28 to 56 rooms. The property remained in the McIlquham family until 1959, which is when it suffered a devastating fire that destroyed the fourth floor. In its heyday, the Mississippi Hotel was called one of the finest between Ottawa and Toronto. In 1967, Canada’s centennial year, Stompin’ Tom Connors played and stayed at the hotel, which was then owned by Lorraine Lemay. She purchased the property in 1964. Connors penned his hit song about French Canadian folk hero Big Joe Mufferaw there. Over time, the Mississippi Hotel eventually fell into disrepair. Brian Carter took over as owner in 1985, but he soon closed the hotel and searched for a buyer. Offers did come in, but the would-be buyers were only interested in the land. The Mississippi Hotel was at risk of being demolished in 1990; however, a group of townspeople worked hard to prevent this from happening, including Ottawa Valley troubadour and Carleton Place resident Lyle Dillabough. Out of desperation, Dillabough sent a letter to Connors’ record company. A letter appeared soon after in his mailbox. Inside: a note, signed photograph and a statement for publication. Connors referred to the Mississippi Hotel as “the Grand Ole Lady,” and he demanded she be saved. Eventually, the hotel landed in the hands of the Seccaspina family.

Going to a cancer party Want to know the best recipe for a successful fundraiser? It is definitely girls, glamour and good times. In less than three weeks, on Saturday, Sept. 16, it is the fifth anniversary of Carleton Place’s Little Black Dress event, an awesome way to catch up with girlfriends, have fun and raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. I will be there – as a guest. I am so excited! To mark a half decade, this year’s Little Black Dress event is being held at the Canadian Golf and Country Club in Ashton. Previously, the party took place in the upper hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre. The affair is always a sellout, with a few hundred ladies from across Lanark County getting gussied up, dusting off their little black dresses. I already have mine! Festivities typically include a silent auction, prizes, dinner, cash bar, music, dancing, games, red carpet (for arrivals), photo booth, special guest speaker and so much more. The ladies only event is organized by an amazing group of women, led by Carol Dryburgh. If Dryburgh’s name sounds familiar, it should. In addition to establishing the Little Black Dress event, she volunteers annually with the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle campaign as well as the Hungry Lunch program in Carleton Place. Too, she is an active member of St. James Anglican Church, holding the position of warden. On top of her work with the Almonte, Carleton Place and Pakenham branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, Dryburgh was named the 2013 Carleton Place Senior of the Year. Dryburgh loves people, works hard and always tries to lift the spirits of those around her. On many occasions, we have shared our personal stories about cancer, the C-word. She is a good listener, and I always feel better after one of our chats. I am extremely fortunate to call Dryburgh a friend. I will be sitting at her table on Sept. 16. Cancer does not discriminate. It affects everyone – men and women, and it does not care if you are young or old or rich or poor. Everyone is fair game! Cancer has affected my life in many ways, just like it has for millions of Canadians. Ravaging my family, it has taken my great grandfather, grandmother, many great uncles and aunts, uncle, cousins and friends. Lately, it has been
TARA GESNER Tara Firma harassing my sister. The C-word is the true definition of a heartbreaker. Maybe we will never find a cure for cancer. I hope that is not the case. However, right now, what matters to me and millions of Canadians – I think – is that we find a way to help, we find ways to help prevent the disease and we find ways to treat it more effectively. In the last four years, the Little Black Dress Event has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Canadian Cancer Society. So impressive! The Little Black Dress Event is all about raising funds to support cancer research and look great doing it. Luckily, this year’s party falls on a pay week. There is a rumour WestJet has donated a fantastic item for the auction – two tickets to anywhere that WestJet flies. Wow! In previous years, if I remember, from unique home decor pieces to dazzling jewelry, the treasures you can go home with are tremendous. Recently, the Little Black Dress Event and its organizers received a prestigious award from the Canadian Cancer Society, recognizing what the event has contributed and will continue to contribute to the fight against cancer. Congratulations! If you are not able to go to the 2017 Little Black Dress Event, there are other ways to support the fight against cancer. In Almonte on Sunday, Sept. 17, it is the annual Terry Fox Run, beginning at 1 p.m. at the local community centre. Fox, a Canadian hero, was only 18 when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. As a result, his right leg was amputated six inches above his knee. Fox began his Marathon of Hope cross-country fundraiser in St. John’s, N.L. on April 12, 1980. His goal was to raise $1 for every Canadian. He ran for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres before being forced to stop on Sept. 1, 1980 in Thunder Bay. Cancer was discovered in his lungs. Fox’s fundraising goal was realized in February 1981 after $24.17 million was brought in by way of his Marathon of Hope efforts. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 22 on June 28, 1981.

The Hub temporarily relocating to Industrial Drive in Almonte The Hub has been a fixture of downtown Almonte since 1974. During that time the proceeds from selling used clothing, housewares, toys, books and jewellery have exceeded $600,000 and, this money has been funnelled right back into the community in the form of grants to both organizations and individuals in Mississippi Mills. The store is part of the downtown landscape and volunteers, staff and customers alike have become very attached not only to the Hub, but to the building it is housed in. For the last 43 years, the store has been run by an increasingly large number of volunteers. The current Hub building was built in 1919 by the then Ottawa Valley Amusement Company, and later was converted to the Royal Bank. The Hub purchased the building for a nominal fee and has enjoyed 19 years serving the community from this location. However, over the last few years, the board of directors have been reminded
that many of the building elements have reached the end of their life cycle and major investments are required. At the AGM meeting held on June 26, the board of directors outlined the findings from a recent study that had been conducted on the building and reviewed with the membership the impact on its operation. The membership overwhelmingly voted to have the Hub temporarily relocate to another location until a long-term plan is in place. This is not the first time that the Hub has had to move, but as with any move it is always a tough decision. Everyone recognizes the current building as being the Hub. Many hours of effort have been given by many people to make the Hub what it is today, a vibrant location that serves the community well. The community has helped us recognize the fact that, it’s not all about bricks and mortar, but the true value of the Hub is its people and the service they provide to the community. After a long search, in
NO
which we looked, we pondered, and we then took a deep breath - we took the plunge. We are happy to announce that we have agreed to a lease at Unit 1, 14 Industrial Avenue, Almonte, with the aim of relocating by Oct. 31. The new space is the previous Divine Consign space and, most importantly, it is in the same mall location as our current Rebound Store. This temporary move is a big change for volunteers, staff, and our local shoppers. It is not easy for any of us, but it is unavoidable. We call on our customers and our Mississippi Mills community to support us in this temporary move. With your support, we can continue to give the kind of service we have given for 43 years and provide financial support to organizations and individuals in this area. Additional information will be released as planning on the move progresses. Submitted by Nancy Dupuis, president, Almonte Community Co-ordinators (Hub/ Rebound)

GoFundMe campaign for Carleton Place resident battling brain tumour BY STAFF
Kate Kelly Cooney is known for giving back to her community through her tireless efforts with the Mississippi Mudds theatre group. She’s now facing a personal battle with cancer. The Carleton Place resident, who has three children Demmon, Molly and Colm, with husband Dave, was recently diagnosed with glioblastoma after experiencing a headache in mid-July. “This is an inoperable brain tumour that is fast growing and usually doesn’t respond to regular cancer treatment,” notes the GoFundMe campaign page. “Kate has been in the hospital ever since and is about to start treatment. Her family and friends have spent almost every day
with her at the hospital, helping take care of her and trying to make this dark time in her life a little brighter.” A GoFundMe campaign was created Aug. 15 by Jeff Lee for Cooney’s sister, Mary Beth Kelly, and as of Aug. 23, more than $16,000 of a $50,000 goal has been raised with that number continually growing. It will go toward easing the financial strain of her illness by helping with long-term care/ hospital stays, travel to Ottawa for six weeks of daily treatment, medical expenses not covered through OHIP, household maintenance and accommodations. Cooney has been part of the staff team at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville for the past five years, employed as an Early

Kate Kelly Cooney of Carleton Place has an inoperable brain tumour. A GoFundMe page was set up to help the family. Above, Cooney with daughter Molly.
Childhood Educator in a kindergarten classroom. Her love of musical theatre shines through her involvement with the Mississippi Mudds for the past 10 years. She has served on the theatre group’s board, directed youth theatre productions, volunteered backstage and also revived the Mudds’ summer camp this year. “For Kate, involvement with the Mississippi Mudds was a family venture,” the campaign page states. “Her daughter Molly participated in one of the first Mudds youth shows. Her son Colm is a Mudds member and even her husband Dave has provided technical assistance to Mudds productions over the years.” “Kate’s love of the theatre has impacted the lives of both her family
and children which she has directed. In just the last year, more than four of Kate’s past performers, including her daughter Molly, are pursuing drama in their post-secondary education. They are following their dreams thanks to Kate’s influence,” it continues. “But now Kate, that fun-loving, generous, resourceful, practical and selfless person who is not only involved in the community but also is a super mom and wife, has a life-threatening challenge of her own to overcome.” To make a donation, visit https:// www.gofundme.com/kate-kellycooney-and-family. Any and all donations will be most appreciated as each one will help make a difference for Cooney and her family over the coming months as she battles her cancer.

Local walk for dog guides helps give Canadians a new leash on life BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
With the help of guide dogs, people with visual and other disabilities are able to get around safely. Carleton Place resident Florence Pye has peripheral vision loss (tunnel vision), and she noted her beloved guide dog — CC — is a lifeline, increasing her independence. Pye, with support from Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn, is again organizing the local Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides, coming up on Saturday, Sept. 9. The rain or shine walk begins promptly at 1 p.m. outside the IDA Drugmart, located at 47 Lansdowne Ave. “The deputy mayor is helping me this year, which I really, really appreciate,” Pye told the Canadian Gazette. The Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is the largest annual fundraiser for the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, with more than 200 communities participating across Canada. The walk provides essential funding to provide dog guides at no cost to eligible Canadians with disabilities: visual, hearing, medical or physical. The foundation, established in 1983 by Lions Clubs across Canada, relies on donations from individuals, service clubs and foundations and corporations. It does not receive any government funding.
Carleton Place resident Florence Pye, with guide dog CC, is organizing the local Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides, coming up on Sept. 9. Submitted photo
CC is a black Labrador, and she was paired with Pye in January this year. “My previous guide dog, Fresno, passed away in November (2016) from a medical condition,” Pye said. “He was a black Labrador retriever.” After undergoing training together for over three weeks, Pye and CC are “getting along very well.” “We have bonded,” she said. “I was really bonded with Fresno too.” The local Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides goes leaves the Carleton Place Mews and heads to the old Hawthorne Mill building, located at 115 Emily St., the former DRS Technologies property. Pye noted a fundraising barbecue would follow, sponsored by People First of Lanark County. Prize draws will also take place. “Wally Thorbjornsson, owner of the Hawthorne Mill building, has offered his parking lot for the barbecue,” Flynn told this newspaper. “Proceeds of the barbecue will be split between the walk and People First of Lanark County.” The walk is a family and dog-friendly event that welcomes participants of all ages and abilities. “People can walk with or without a dog,” Pye said, and “all dogs participat-
ing receive a complimentary package of dog treats.” One year, Pye’s walk raised $1,000. However, “it was not a good year last year.” “We raised $500,” she said. “There was another walk the same day that I did not know about.” Owing to his background in supporting people with disabilities and accessibility issues, “in my opinion, the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is a cause worthy of community support,” Flynn said. “When Florence indicated to me that she could use some help I was only too happy to offer assistance,” he added. The deputy mayor called Pye, along with her working dog, CC, “a poster person for such an event.” “Florence would be very appreciative of any and all the support she can get from the community to make this her best fundraising year yet,” Flynn stressed. For more information or to obtain a pledge sheet, call Pye at 613-257-1847 or Flynn at 613-257-4748 “Guide dogs are really important to us,” Pye stressed. “They keep us safe on the street.”

As another season ends, we would like to thank all children, parents, coaches, and volunteers for another great season. A big Thank you to Trayce, and Bo for providing umpiring through the season. Thank you to Carl, Tanya, and Pat for looking after the BBQ, and the Kinsmen Club for the help during the Tball and 3Pitch Tournament. Thank you Dawn Marie and Lyza for score keeping. A special thank you to all our team sponsors for your support again this year. Mackat Transportation, Rideau Lumbar, Commercial Alternator, Dairy Queen, Ogilvie’s, Garden Market, Quickie, Prodecal, Matthews Collision, Healey Transportation, and Tim Hortons. Without your continued support, it would be hard to keep our costs and registration fees down to allow children to play such a great game. Would like also like to thank SF Legion for providing space for registrations, SF Canadian Tire for donating supplies, Baseball Town Ottawa, and again it was great working with Prodecal to make our new banner and purchase our shirts and medals. As a lot of our children return next year we say good bye to our older kids as they move on to Men’s, Ladies, and mixed. We are looking forward to watching the kids returning, and continuing to grow in the game. Lyza and I will be stepping down, but Trayce and Julie will do a great job with a lot of our coaches returning next year, and yes that includes me to coach for my 10th year lol. Thank you again everyone for another great season! Chris & Lyza, League Executives

Make dreams a reality at Kaleidoscope Designs Inc. in Carleton Place BY ASHLEY KULP

Whether you’re searching for the perfect rug to tie a room together or need help planning a home renovation, the possibilities are endless at Kaleidoscope Designs Inc. in Carleton Place. The design studio and retail boutique, the brainchild of interior designers Leslie Lockhart and Jennifer Owens, officially opened its doors at 208 Bridge Street (beside Bonanza Kidz) on June 10. Having established a loyal following in Ottawa with Kaleidoscope over the last five years, the duo decided to open up a retail space and found just what they were looking for in Carleton Place. “We always talked about doing a store version and we started looking around here in January,” explained Lockhart during a recent interview at the studio. “We found this little gem and we’re pretty excited to be here.” With the move to town, Lockhart and Owens hope to increase the profile of their business and “offer clients a space as an alternative to their home,” Lockhart said. “We can meet here and provide design plans for them,” she noted. “…(Carleton Place) is growing and there’s more commercial construction and people moving out here and there aren’t as many home furnishing

options. We think we can help in that area.” Kaleidoscope Designs Inc. offers a wide range of services, including personalized design, material sourcing, project management, help with design concepts, paint consultations and experience in how to tackle home renovation projects. “If someone needs help finding fabric to upholster chairs, we will do that straight up to home renovations and managing projects,” Lockhart stated. “If we can’t do it, we will refer (customers) to someone who handles it.” Their showroom not only provides an open concept space to meet with clients, but also a retail component where customers can come in and purchase a variety of items, including furniture, rugs, art, lighting and housewares. “All of our décor here is cash and carry,” Lockhart said. As they build a customer base in the area, Lockhart and Owens also plan to tailor the retail items offered to their clientele. Locally sourced and made pieces are also being sought. Design has been a passion for Lockhart, originally from Fredericton, New Brunswick, since she was a little girl. Her family on her mother’s side has been involved with home building and her grandfather was a stonemason and carpenter. “I’ve always been around design,” she said.
In grade school, she developed a love for interior design when helping her sister, who was taking a home décor class. “I waited six years to take that same class and went crazy on the projects,” she remarked. She moved to Ontario to attend Algonquin College’s advanced interior design program after which she met Owens, who is a native of Ottawa. As co-workers, they decided to start their own company, striving for exceptional customer service with a unique set of skills and expertise. “A lot of people will say, ‘What’s your style?’ It’s not about our style; it’s about a client’s style,” Lockhart said. “A lot of people don’t know how to incorporate their style and that’s the fun part for me.” Lockhart said she relishes the challenge of working with couples to incorporate their individual tastes. “No one loves the same thing, so you have to blend styles to make both parties happy,” she commented. “It’s always an adventure!” “I never want the space not to reflect their personality,” Lockhart added. To increase exposure in the Carleton Place area, Kaleidoscope Designs Inc. recently partnered on custom nursery design contest with local businesses, Bonanza Kidz, Carousel See DESIGN page A/CP14

DECISION
From page A/CP2
head questioned, adding that five lots in a residential area would not generate significant traffic volume. Turned down Despite the endorsement by Whitehead to accept the amendment, county councillors had an extensive discussion on the issue. “It is a very difficult decision,” acknowledged Coun. John Fenik (Perth Mayor). “Anybody who sits around this table knows that I’ve always said that the autonomy of the lower tiers is of paramount importance. Who am I, in the Town of Perth, to dictate planning issues from duly elected representatives in any other municipality?” Fenik said he has “full confidence” Mississippi Mills followed the proper processes under the Planning Act to reach the conclusion to sell, but doesn’t have “absolute assurances around that.” “I’m mayor of the Town of Perth, but I’m also a county councillor and I represent county residents and I could not support the amendment…as it stands,” he stated. “Shaun (McLaughlin, Mississippi Mills Mayor), you have my utmost respect, working with you at county council, but what’s clear to me is that the residents are opposed to this for some very substantial, I think, reasons and for that reason I won’t be supporting this.” Coun. Brian Campbell (Tay Valley Deputy Reeve), wasn’t sure if emotion should be brought into the decision, but thought it was important. “We’ve heard some very passionate comments here tonight and I know in my municipality and here at the county table, I try to do what’s in the best interest of the people I represent,” he stated. “If at a public meeting there was 350 people and a petition with 1,300 names, that’s a pretty clear message and I can’t support this. I think the people have spoken.” McLaughlin noted that not all statements from the public delegations were correct and it was an “inherently unfair position to be in” that he and fellow Coun. Jane Torrance, were unable to respond to the presentations. “...We originally were going to sell 100 per cent of the park, but we decided after the public debate and 1,300 signatures and the rest of it, to sell only 40 per cent of it instead of 100 per cent,” he said. “We did bend. We did listen and did all those things.” He stressed that this amendment is not the time for “county to second guess the planning rationale of a lower tier.” “Does this meet the Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statement? That is the question here,” McLaughlin continued. “When I sit here and we get an application from Beckwith for an estate lot subdivision, we don’t allow those
in Mississippi Mills but we would never say Beckwith was wrong… we would never do that because that’s how you run your town.” Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place Mayor) and Fenik questioned Whitehead on what would happen if council either supported or denied the amendment. “If it’s approved, it will likely be appealed (to the Ontario Municipal Board) by some of the people in attendance. If it’s refused, the municipality will appeal it to the board,” he explained. “If it goes to a hearing, which it probably will, the board member will make a decision based on the evidence that’s presented…” Having been taught by Maynard, Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) admitted, “just sitting here is very tough.” “Mr. Maynard was my first phys ed teacher and my first football coach. He came out of retirement to coach…and he certainly influenced the rest of my life,” he commented. “I was a guy from the country from Ashton who went to Almonte and he was one of those individuals who shaped my life and he did that for a lot of people. And to have a park named after him, to pass away and then to have that taken away, it just isn’t morally right.” Acknowledging that the process to sell the parkland hasn’t been a good one, Kidd said either way, the decision will be appealed to the OMB, but felt “maybe the public is better suited to take it to the OMB.” Otherwise, Mississippi Mills would be filing a complaint against the county. McLaughlin stressed that Maynard is not being dishonoured. “The town is still quite happy to honour Don Maynard Park in this park or another one. We would move the name to another park if we were asked to,” he said. “There’s no dishonouring of Don Maynard…” Despite Coun. Gail Code (Drummond-North Elmsley Deputy Reeve) asking for a deferral to examine the issue further, county councillors wanted to push ahead and make a decision. “We (Mississippi Mills) made a decision back in June of last year to do this and had a public meeting and have had a year of this now at our level,” McLaughlin said. “Any OMB hearing is going to drag on for several months. We would really like to get this done before the election. This is not the kind of thing you want to be an election issue.” “It’s been an anchor on the community. Make a decision one way or another tonight because there’s no point in waiting,” he added. While the economic development committee voted against the amendment, the final decision will take place at the Sept. 6 county council meeting.
Gala Celebration Concert!
With the return of the school year comes the return of our regular committee schedule. During the summer months, Council will place all of the regular July meetings in the first two weeks of the month and place all of the August meetings toward the end of the month, thus creating somewhat of a break from Committee work. September 7th will be our next Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee following our last meeting in early July. Agenda items for this meeting include: • Zoning Amendment – 3926 Milton Road (Cumberland) • Zoning Amendment – 3455 Milton Road (Cumberland) • Zoning Amendment – 6690 Mitch Owens (Osgoode) • Zoning Amendment – 1430 Dunning Road (Cumberland) • Appointment of a Drainage Engineer for Wilson-Cowan Municipal Drain
Also included is a report that includes some zoning by-law amendments to accommodate reconstruction efforts in parts of the city that were impacted by the severe flooding in May of this year. Another report is a quarterly Omnibus Zoning By-Law Amendment report, which we will receive a brief presentation on with regard to any impacts in the rural area.

As always, ARAC meetings are held at Ben Franklin Place in Centrepointe in the former Nepean Council Chambers. Our meetings begin at 10:00am. All of the items listed above are available for review at Ottawa.ca or through our monthly e-Newsletter, which you can sign up for at RideauGoulbourn.ca. Proposed Site Alteration By-Law Last year, the City of Ottawa began a review of the current City By-Laws that regulate site alteration activities. Over the last several months, City staff have engaged with local residents, farming organizations and environmental groups to create a new Site Alteration By-Law for the City of Ottawa. The City’s goal with this new by-law is to prevent drainage problems, protect the productivity of soils in designated Agricultural Resource Areas, protect designated natural areas and other identified natural heritage features (such as significant woodlands and valleylands) from negative impacts, reduce the risk of root damage to Cityowned trees or other trees protected under the City’s tree by-laws and to establish basic rules for how site alteration is done, to avoid impacts to neighbours and the environment. Ultimately, the driving force behind this proposal is the impacts on agricultural lands by those wishing to development. In some cases, we have seen land manipulation in an effort to downgrade land from agricultural to a use more compatible with development. One thing I would like to see in this by-law is an outright exemption for normal agricultural activities. That exemption doesn’t yet exist. I would encourage any landowner or resident who has an interest in site alteration activities to review the draft by-law which is available on Ottawa.ca and to provide your feedback to City staff. As always, you can contact my office to receive a copy of the draft by-law, or to provide your comments. It is very important that the City received a variety of feedback on this matter from all parties impacted. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Hockey school, Bill Bowker important to Carleton Place was in a very bad mood,” he recalled. “I asked her what was wrong, but she did not want to talk about it.” Bowker told his daughter to count back from three and just say whatever was bothering her. She wanted to know why he spent his whole life coaching the boys, but he had never coached her in hockey. “To be quite honest, it was a defining moment,” Bowker admitted. After asking his daughter what she wanted him to do, she requested he coach her hockey team. “So, I went to Carleton the next morning and told the general manager I would not be back next year,” Bowker said. “I left men’s varsity hockey to coach girls atom hockey in Ottawa.” The first year his team won the provincial championship, and the next year they won at the pee wee level. “Our third year (bantam level) we won the provincial championship in Toronto against the London Knights,” Bowker said. Because his team did so well, Bowker was approached by Hockey Canada to become a national team player evaluator, which ended up Tara Gesner/Metroland

Tec-Tac International Hockey School in Carleton Place has been running for two decades, and it is considered by many to be one of the best development hockey schools in the country. The success of Tec-Tac is the result of instructor quality, programming and honesty, as well as president and founder Bill Bowker’s pursuit of excellence. He is one of Canada’s top coaches. Of Tec-Tac’s 20 years, 17 have been run out of Carleton Place — coming when the arena’s second ice surface was built in 2000. Bowker helped spearhead its construction. Tec-Tac runs four weeks every summer — a month of ice. Programs for novice, atom, pee wee, bantam and midget players include scoring and skill development, introduction to checking and proficient goaltending. “Because I travelled with our (women’s) national team, I have connections in Finland and other countries,” Bowker recently told the Canadian Gazette. “We get kids here from all over the world — the United States and even Dubai,” he continued. “Former National Hockey League players enrol their kids in the hockey school.” “It says a lot about our content,” the coach added. Tec-Tac works on personal growth and development, just as much as hockey skills. “Our programming is current, age specific and challenging,” Bowker said. “The hockey school is a fun filled, energy charged environment for 160 kids every summer.” The hockey school employs 15 people, including Bowker. Instructors are hand picked professional educators, successful hockey players and academically gifted university students. “We are very selective of who comes and works here,” Bowker explained. “We expect a high level of effort from everyone, from players to staff.” Tec-Tac was born and built with family values by a hockey family, and “people recognize that,” the coach continued. The school runs Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. There is a two-hours supervised lunch period. “Participants get five hours of ice time each day,” Bowker said, and “our impact in five days is huge.” He hopes to see Tec-Tac continue for many more years. “I may not be 19, but this hockey school and community have become an important part of my life,” Bowker said. He cannot say enough about the people who work at the arena: recreation and culture manager Joanne Henderson, senior facilities operator Bob White and former recreation di-
Tec-Tac International Hockey School in Carleton Place has been running for two decades, and it was founded by Bill Bowker, one of Canada’s top coaches. rector Joe Crampton. “The people who are here are people I value,” Bowker added. In September 2016, TecTac scored points with the town after donating 50 per cent of the cost for new hockey nets at the arena. The cost of the new Athletica nets: $2,005.75. The Carleton Place Arena Staff Association shared the cost. Bowker now resides in Frankville. “I have a 200-acre Black Angus beef farm that I run, and I also teach for Hockey Canada,” he said. Born in Sherbrooke, Que., Bowker grew up in Montreal. “I played most of my hockey in Quebec,” he said. Teams included the Lachine Maroons, the Verdun Maple Leafs and the Montreal Junior Canadiens — just to name a few. “I played centre and left wing,” Bowker said. Getting serious, Bowker noted his family left Quebec because of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) crisis, when members of the FLQ kidnapped provincial cabinet minister Pierre Laporte and British diplomat James Cross.
“I came home from school one day and our mailman’s mailbox had blown up,” Bowker recounted. “He was badly injured ... my mom was beside herself and we left the province.” The family moved to Carleton Place. Bowker met his wife Myrna in Carleton Place. Together, they raised three children: Derek, Cassidy and Courtney. “I was the first arena manager in Carleton Place,” he noted, and “I was the first guy to ever drive a Zamboni on (rink one).” Bowker got involved in Carleton Place Minor Hockey, helping to coach, mostly because his children were at the rink. “It was wonderful to be here with my kids,” he said, and “after they grew up I continued to coach here.” Eventually, he moved on to the Ottawa Valley Titans, before ending up at Carleton University and coaching the men’s varsity team. He stayed for five years. “I came home for dinner one night, and as a family we used the dinner table as our sounding board,” Bowker noted. “My daughter, Cassidy,

The stunning combination of daylilies and rudbeckia combined with loosestrife and other wild flowers at the gate leading to the home of Ron and Mary MacMeekin at 233 Bennie’s Corners Road is a traffic stopper! The extensive lawns surrounding the curving driveway are populated with a wide selection of trees. Stone retaining walls around the house protect the raised beds full of colourful annuals amidst hostas, echinacea, daylilies and other perennials.

Henderson finishes T12 at CP Women’s Open BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
Brooke Henderson was all smiles following her CP Women’s Open Sunday in front of thousands of adoring fans and a gaggle of media. She had her best finish yet at the Canadian Open, with an even par 71 Sunday to finish tied for 12th spot (74-69-6371). It was two better than last year. Saturday she set a new course record with a scorching 63. She earned US$36,564. “I’m really happy I got those few birdies on the back nine to get myself back to even par. That feels a lot better,” she said following her closing round. “I think it’s my best finish at the Canadian Open as well. I was looking at the leader board when I was coming up so that’s really exciting.” On the hometown support that followed her from Monday through to Sunday, Henderson said it was “really incredible. I could just never imagine this many people coming out to watch me play golf. It’s amazing. Definitely a week I’ll remember forever.” She said she would have loved to have finished a little bit
better, to give them something more to cheer about, but the birdies on the back nine “put them in good spirits again. They just were behind me 100 per cent the whole way.” On the week’s pressure, she said she wasn’t nervous, “but there was some tension. I wanted it so badly it affected me a little bit with some of the shots I hit and some of the putts, they were so close to going in. It kind of got me down a little bit. They just rubbed the lip or stayed on the edge a couple times.” She said she made a great par save on 11 as she bounced back a bit on the back nine. “Three great birdies kind of helped me a little, rose my adrenaline and got the crowd a little bit more interested.” She said she can’t complain too much, as it “the best finish I’ve ever had at the Canadian Open, some incredible memories and lots of amazing fans that followed me all week, and hopefully I can do it a little bit better (this week) in Portland, and hopefully do it a little bit better at the Canadian Open next year as well.” Henderson said she’s eager to get to the Cambia Classic
in Portland – to defend for the third time. “I am eager to get there right now,” she said. “I feel I have left some things out on the table so I’m excited to get started on Thursday and hopefully defend for the third time.” The biggest things she learned this week? “Patience … and staying in the moment. I’m trying to embrace these fans because they were cheering me on so hard and wanted me to do so well. I feel like I’ve done a better job this year than I ever have at home, playing on the home course. I just tried to embrace it, tried to ride their wave of their enthusiasm, their momentum. I just tried to match all the excitement that they had and I felt I did a lot better job and that’s really exciting to know that I can do that. It’s a stepping stone in the right direction.” She’s hoping the Open will come back to the Ottawa Hunt, so she can hoist that trophy. Henderson said she was inspired by the fans who were out in their red and white Brooke Brigade T-shirts as she was high-fiving them between

opening more doors. “I went from being an evaluator to the assistant coach for Team Ontario,” Bowker noted. Later on, he was head coach at the 1999 Canada Winter Games in Corner Brook, N.L. “It was an experience I will never forget — with all the best players in Ontario,” Bowker stated. “It was phenomenal ... we won the gold medal.”

More success followed. He was asked to coach Canada’s National Women’s Under-22 Team, a feeder team for the national and Olympic teams. “I accepted the job, but I also got hired at Wilfrid Laurier University as director of hockey operations, coaching the women’s team and overseeing the men’s operation,” Bowker noted. After achieving further success, Bowker was asked to run the national team’s practices — Team
Canada. “This was the team we prepared for the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano (Japan) and 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City (United States),” he explained. “We had Cassie Campbell, Hayley Wickenheiser, Cherie Piper, etc.” The women won silver in Nagano and gold in Salt Lake City.

greens and tees. “Hopefully I’ve inspired them,” she said. Even if they don’t play as a pro or get a scholarship, it’s a great game, and it can help them in life. Winner’s circle Sung Hyun Park won the Open with a 7-under 64 Sunday, two shots ahead of Mirim Lee to earn $337,500. Park, who captured the U.S. Women’s Open earlier this year, fired a 7-under-par 64 on Sunday –
“I am extremely proud of the footprint I left in Smiths Falls,” Bowker said. “I have been very fortunate with my hockey career,” he continued. “The game has been good to me, good to my family.” On a side note, Bowker’s strong love of hockey stopped a career in baseball. He threw batting practice for the Montreal Expos.

the round of the day – to win the CP Women’s Open by two shots over Mirim Lee. “I think it was a perfect game today,” she said. “There were no mistakes today and I think it was perfect.” Park is essentially a lock for the LPGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year award this year thanks to her major victory at the US Women’s Open a few weeks ago followed by her win in Ottawa this week. She birdied two of her final three holes to lock up her seventh top-10 finish of the year. “Because I am a rookie, I don’t
really worry about every shot,” explained Park. “I just did every shot with confidence. My confidence made me do well this year.” Lee had two eagles on her scorecard and secured her best result since her victory earlier this year at the Kia Classic. Shanshan Feng, Marina Alex, Cristie Kerr, In Gee Chun and Nicole Broch Larsen finished in a fiveway tie for third at 10-under 274. One other Canadian to make the cut was Brittany Marchand who had a 3-under 69 Sunday. She had rounds of 73-67-72-69 for a T30 finish.

The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place council members during the policy review committee meeting, held on July 25. Coun. Sean Redmond chaired the gathering. Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) fire chief Les Reynolds submitted his June report to members of council. June was a busy month for fire prevention and public education, with many school classes attending the local fire station. Too, staff attended year-end activities at St. Gregory Catholic School and Arklan Community Public School. “During the month, we also participated in a dance and barbecue hosted by Hometown Hearts, raising awareness about PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and raising funds for a treatment program (Project Trauma Support),” Reynolds said. The Ocean Wave Fire Company made a donation, with members contributing $1,310. The brigade’s fire preven-
tion officers attended a twoday workshop on hoarding in Kingston, and “I participated in Lanark County’s annual emergency exercise in my role as Lanark County fire co-ordinator,” Reynolds stated. The 20 emergency calls in June were as follows: fire related, four; false alarms, nine; motor vehicle collision (MVC), one; and other, six. Planning activity Manager of development services Joanna Bowes presented her June planning activity report to members of council. The monthly review regarding planning matters represents only those matters that were accompanied by a submitted application or pre-consultations with planning staff. “Our planning department has been extremely busy,” Redmond said. “Year to day ... so far in 2017 we have the same number of planning applications as the entire previous year.” “We are currently at 117,” he continued, and “last year the total number was 118.”
Redmond noted, “It is a magnificent sign of what is happening here in Carleton Place ... interest in relocating here, building here.” In 2016 the town had one class three development permit application. This year there are three, which is a 300 per cent increase. “This is a wonderful thing,” Redmond said. “However, it is certainly putting a lot of stress on the planning department.” The breakdown in activity for June is as follows: pre-consultation, nine; class one development permit application, seven; class two development permit application, one; class three development permit application, one; and subdivision, one. Liquor request Council members approved a request by the Farm to Fork Harvest Dinner and Dance organizing committee to serve alcohol at the Market Square on Saturday, Sept. 9. This is a 19 and over event. Call 613-257-4748 for more information.
Keeping Vaccinations Up to Date It’s back to school time and that’s a great time to ensure that our children’s vaccines are on track. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is reminding parents that vaccine schedules are carefully planned to protect children when they are most at risk and when their bodies are ready to receive certain vaccines.
make sure they receive the recommended vaccines at the right time," notes Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.
Ontario publicly funds 23 different (routine and non-routine) vaccines through its provincial immunization program. They protect against 17 diseases.
Children who have not been vaccinated are at risk of catching diseases that can be prevented by vaccines, and they can also put their schoolmates at risk - especially those who cannot receive certain vaccines for medical reasons. Children in Ontario are required to be vaccinated against certain diseases in order for them to attend school, unless they have a valid exemption.
"Vaccination protects us from preventable diseases. As a physician, I’ve seen many children become seriously ill from such diseases. The best way to protect your children, and those around them, is to
"Throughout the school year, children are exposed to many serious childhood diseases that can be prevented through immunization. When they get vaccinated against a certain disease, they build up their immunity, making

them stronger and more resistant to that disease. That’s why it’s important to keep your family up to date with the recommended vaccines," adds Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health.
Stay up to date To support parents, the Ministry has created Ontario’s Routine Immunization Schedule to keep everyone on track. The web page will help you learn about Ontario’s free vaccine program, and make it easy to keep your family up to date with the recommended vaccinations.

Nursing education fund established to celebrate Pam Murphy’s retirement
On Saturday, Sept. 30, Pam Murphy will officially retire from her position as Director of Care (DOC) at Fairview Manor (FVM). This will mark the end of a work career that has spanned more than 40 years, including 12 years overseeing resident care at FVM. Throughout Pam’s time at FVM, her work philosophy has focused on the delicate balancing act between caring for the residents, which she readily admits is the highest priority, and caring for her staff, which she sees as equally important. It is no surprise that Pam says that well-trained, engaged, caring staff is the key to the high-quality resident care for which FVM is known. According to her successor, Karen Buness, “Pam is a wonderful nurse and a fantastic leader. Her knowledge, caring approach and dedication to the residents and staff are unparalleled.” Pam has seen things change a lot over the course of her career. She attributes this to modern medicine’s ability to better treat many chronic diseases. This positive step forward means that people are living longer; therefore the need for long-term care is constantly growing.
Pam with resident Doris Cochrane and RPN Kim Drummond
When she first became DOC at Fairview in 2005, about 80% of the residents were capable of getting to the dining rooms mostly under their own steam, or with a little help from another resident. Although sometimes precarious to watch, Pam said, “You had to admire their spirit.” Now, she believes that only about 20% of the residents would be able to do that without help from staff. On average, residents are living longer and require a greater amount of support. Connected to Your Community - A/CP23 - Thursday, August 31, 2017
“Pam will be sorely missed,” said Hospital President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “Her work has touched hundreds of lives over the years and so it makes sense that we celebrate her well-deserved retirement in a way that recognizes and continues her legacy of caring for both the residents and the staff of Fairview Manor.” Mary is pleased to announce that the AGH-FVM Foundation will be establishing a special Pam Murphy Fairview Manor Nursing Education Fund in support of education and training. For all the many people who want to wish Pam well on her retirement, donations can be made to the Foundation designated for this new, special fund. Each year, the Fund will help nurses at FVM take courses or attend a conference. Donations can be dropped off at the Foundation Office or online at: www.almontehospitalfoundation.com Please join us in wishing Pam a long and happy retirement.
