Statue to honour Roy Brown; council approves seed money BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
The Roy Brown Society in Carleton Place is dedicated to researching, preserving and telling the story of Capt. Arthur Roy Brown. Brown, a First World War flying ace, is officially credited with shooting down German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, in the skies over war-torn France on April 21, 1918. Brown was born in Carleton Place. Currently, the Roy Brown Society is working on the establishment of a statue of Brown, which would be placed in the municipality’s downtown core on the north side of the historic Moore House. The Moore House, the location of the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce and Information Centre, accommodates an exhibit dedicated to Brown. On Sept. 5, during the physical environment meeting, council members carried a motion brought forward by Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and moved by Coun. Sean Redmond to reallocate the balance of the town’s mural fund — $12,500 — to get the statue project off the ground. Flynn is a co-founder of the Roy Brown Society.
“We did not do a mural this year, and we have $12,500 in the fund,” the deputy mayor explained. “If it is council’s will, I would like to channel this money to the Roy Brown statue project.” Flynn spearheaded the commissioning of murals in Carleton Place, beginning a few years ago. Former Ottawa-based artist Shaun McInnis has completed a number of the murals in town: Capt. Arthur Roy Brown, Mississippi Mudds, Stompin’ Tom Connors, Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce — 100 years, Wandering Wayne, Natural Pet Foods and the last train to Carleton Place. On Tuesday night, Flynn noted the $12,500 would be used “to get things off the ground, to draw on as needed.” Helping the Roy Brown Society with the statue initiative is Perth native and Carleton Place resident Todd Boyce. If Boyce’s name sounds familiar, it should. He raised thousands of dollars a few years ago, which allowed for a statue to be erected in memory of five-year-old Jeffrey Baldwin. Located in Greenwood Park in Toronto, the monument famously depicts Baldwin wearing a Superman costume. The youngster died in 2002 in the care See STATUE page A/CP11

Thousands of people across Canada gear up for Terry Fox Runs Sept. 17 BY STAFF
Hundreds of thousands of people across Canada are expected to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 17, a fundraising event taking place in over 700 communities nation-wide that continue to embody the indomitable spirit of Terry Fox. “In a year where we have enjoyed celebrating our country’s 150th birthday, it’s been great to hear so many Canadians say that participating in the Terry Fox Run in an important part of the celebration” — says Terry’s older brother Fred Fox. Terry was just 18 when he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his right leg. He was in his first year at Simon Fraser University studying kinesiology when he felt the pain in his knee. He had his leg amputated six inches above the knee and endured aggressive chemotherapy to eliminate remaining cancer cells. During his treatment, he witnessed daily reminders that two-thirds of cancer victims died of the disease. Instead of crushing his spirits, the sight of other patients suffering made him stronger and more compassionate. It was from this strength and compassion that the Marathon of Hope was born. Since Terry ran in 1980, Canadians have raised over $750 million for cancer research. This money is invested into projects with the greatest potential impact for patients. One such project is Multiple Myeloma Molecular Monitoring, underway in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. A team of researchers will work with more than 250 patients across Canada to advance the ability to characterize and monitor multiple my-
eloma in the blood and the bone marrow to better understand how current treatments work and develop new, more effective ones. On Sunday, Sept. 17, hundreds of thousands of Terry Fox supporters, family and friends, will participate in a favourite fall tradition to ensure that cancer research continues to make a difference. From coast to coast, Canadians will be celebrating the power of the human spirit. Local Runs • Almonte — registration at noon at the arena, with a 1 p.m. start; participate in the 5 km event with bike, rollerblades, wheelchair, or stroller; or run/walk the 10 km event. • Delta — Delta Fairgrounds, register at 8 a.m.; event is slated for an 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. time frame; barbecue and water stations available. Distances range from 1 km to 10 km. • Elgin — Lions Club at 19 Pineview Ave. registration at 9 a.m. event starts at 10 a.m. wit water and barbecue available. Distances include 4 km and 10 km. • Kemptville — Royal Canadian Legion at 100 Reuben Cres., registration at 9:30 a.m. starts at 10 a.m. participants can compete in the 2.5 km, 5 km or the 10 km distances. • Perth — Conlon Farm, registration from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m. starting at 10:30 a.m. Barbecue and water stations available, along with face painting, silent auction, bouncy castle and door prizes. All events are pet friendly as long as they’re on a leash. Anyone interested in joining a Terry Fox Run or donating can visit www. terryfox.org.

Lanark County supports farmers due to this summer’s rainfall amounts Council passed a motion in support of the Lanark Federation of Agriculture’s (LFA) request to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the province to assess “disastrous” conditions resulting from record-setting rainfall this season, particularly in eastern Ontario, and to prepare to deliver emergency assistance to area farmers. The LFA noted the conditions resulted in delayed planting, poor emergence and delayed forage harvesting, and that existing risk mitigation programs “are not expected to adequately cover the expected losses.” Farmers have indicated crop insurance may cover some costs, but not loss of income. Correspondence to the LFA stated many farmers are in disaster mode. For more information, contact Marie White, Tourism Manager, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1530. Support for VIA Plan Council passed a motion supporting VIA Rail’s highfrequency train project. It calls upon the federal government to provide financial support, for the province to include the project in its list of priority infrastructure projects and for both governments to ensure the project is carried out in a way that enables users to have direct and fast access to railway stations and hubs in communities through eastern Ontario. VIA has submitted its proposal for the WindsorQuebec corridor, which is the busiest in Canada. It includes the route from Toronto through Peterborough to Ottawa with a view to improving “the quality, frequency and reliability of passenger rail service” while “attracting more customers” and “stimulating economic growth.” The motion notes the project allows for more options for connections with other transportation modes, such as light rail and airports, and it will require significant financial contributions from the federal government and private sector. It further states increased rail service will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, which supports Canada’s environmental objectives under the Paris Protocol. For more informa-

The amendment recognizes and clarifies the different categories of ANSIs within the county and makes technical corrections to ANSI policies and mapping. Local municipalities were consulted throughout the process for input, and revisions to the Official Plan Policy will enable them to protect ANSIs even where the county plan does not. Sixteen ANSIs were affected by the amendment, which defines different types (e.g. Life Science and DIAMOND AWARD: Earth Science), their catFURNITURE STORE egorizations (e.g. provincially, regionally or locally significant) and whether they are deemed confirmed or candidate ANSIs, which establishes how lands will be protected through the SCOP and local official plans.

Enjoy maple workshop for beginners Interested in getting started making maple syrup? The Lanark & District Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (LDMSPA) is hosting a Maple Syrup Beginner’s Workshop on Sept. 30, 2017, an all-day event to educate those looking to enter into maple syrup production on a home or commercial scale, as well as veteran producers looking to expand their knowledge base. The course, which runs from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be held at the Lanark & District Civitan Hall, at 2144 Pine Grove Rd., Lanark Village. Participants in the workshop will get the basics on identifying maple trees and tapping, sap handling and storage, equipment and supplies, boiling, density, filtering and bottling, and regulations and grading. A panel discussion and information on maple syrup production resources will also provide valuable information for syrup producers. “Everyone can learn something from this workshop,” Dwight James, LDMSPA director explained, “Maple syrup production is one of those industries where there’s always more to learn, and for beginners getting started the learning curve can be intimidating.” LDMSPA’s workshop is intended to reduce or eliminate that steep learning curve for entering maple syrup production, while offering experienced producers access to resources and information for expanding production or keeping up with changing regulations.
“LDMSPA is here to support producers at all levels,” James explained. LDMSPA is a group of over 90 maple syrup producers located in the Lanark, Frontenac, Leeds and Grenville counties, as well as the Ottawa-Carleton areas of Eastern Ontario. LDMSPA is one of 11 local organizations that make up the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (OMSPA), a provincial organization that represents maple syrup producers across the province. As a membership-based organization LDMSPA supports its members by providing a forum to promote the production of maple syrup products, assisting members to stay current on changing industry regulations, and providing opportunities for networking, and education on the maple syrup industry in Ontario. Registration for the Maple Syrup Beginner’s Workshop can be completed online through Eventbrite: www.maplesyrupworkshop.eventbrite.ca or by emailing ldmspa@outlook.com. While Pre-registration is strongly recommended as space is limited, on-site registration will also be available between 8:15 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 30. Cost for the event is $20 for OMSPA members, and $30 for nonmembers. Registrants who join OMSPA will receive the discounted price of $20. Registration fees include lunch during the event.

Catholic student trustee from Cornwall installed for 2017-2018 school year The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario is pleased to announce that Andrew D’Alessio, a Grade 12 student at St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall, has been installed as the next Catholic student trustee for the CDSBEO. D’Alessio has assumed the position from Alexa Meeson, who served for the 2016-2017 school year. “As the new Catholic student trustee, I'm looking forward to working closely with the other secondary schools across the board. I also look forward to being the voice for all CDSBEO students at the board table." D’Alessio was elected to the position earlier this year by the student senate. “The CDSBEO has been so fortunate to have had excellent student trustees,” remarked board
chair, Todd Lalonde. “We look forward to working with trustee D’Alessio in his new role.” “I am very confident Andrew will be an exemplary advocate and a strong voice for all students in our board,” noted Director of Education Wm. J. Gartland. “The CDSBEO truly values the voice of our students, and we look forward to hearing about the great things happening in our schools through Andrew in his new role.” As Catholic student trustee, D’Alessio will represent the more than 12,800 students across the board. He will lead the student senate, which is made up of representatives from all CDSBEO secondary schools. The senate discusses student issues, gathers student opinion, and helps to develop communications with all students across the CDSBEO. It also provides a means for stu-
dent council leaders and senators to gain leadership skills. In addition to serving on the Board of Trustees and the Catholic student senate, trustee D’Alessio will have the opportunity to meet other student trustees, and trustees from across the province.
The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students.

Become a hospice volunteer
S
ince 1999, the Volunteer Hospice Palliative Care Services of Community Home Support – Lanark County (CHSLC) have played an important role supporting palliative care needs in the community of Lanark County. After last week’s story about hospice volunteering, we’re told this week that there was so much interest that there will be a new volunteer orientation taking place at the Perth office on Sept. 22, from 10 a.m. to noon. Rebecca Bowie Coordinator, Hospice Palliative Care Services, will hold the meeting at the Lanark County office located at 40 Sunset Blvd. in Perth. According to the hospice website, volunteers are adult men and women of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in helping, listening to and communicating well with clients and their families. Hospice volunteers are caring and compassionate people who give freely of their time, talent and energy. Volunteers need to complete a screening interview, a police check, have available two reference checks and enrol in a 30-hour palliative care training program that is offered free of
charge to those volunteers. You will learn about communication, death and dying, pain and symptom management, confidentiality, infection control and other palliative issues. There are many options about volunteering with hospice, Bowie noted. You can volunteer in home or hospital, at day hospice, as a support group facilitator, or offer your services in education or fundraising. Hospice palliative care gives people with lifelimiting illnesses the opportunity to live comfortably and as fully as possible no matter where they are. The care also extends to friends and family members, helping them to care for their loved one and to care for themselves. The goal of providing hospice care is to maintain and/or improve the quality of a person’s life throughout his or her illness by offering dignity, encouragement and solace. Hospice concepts address comfort measures for people who are ill such as pain and symptom management. Care is administered holistically and aims to support the individual needs of each client and their loved ones.

ather was happy. It had been a good season, unlike most other years, and he was sure he was going to get a second cutting of hay. That meant the mow would be full, and he could be sure of lots of hay to see us through the winter. But it also meant he would be working alone, as my three brothers would all be back to school. Of course, there were still Saturdays, but during the week, Father would be out cutting hay, raking and stooking on his own, leaving the house long before any of us were awake. But the brothers were expected to do all the morning chores before they went off to school, that is, except for the milking, which was a chore my

sister Audrey and my mother had to take over. All of this meant of course, that our whole routine changed in the mornings, all because Father was getting a second cut of hay. And it didn’t mean, that even though I was so much younger, I’d get off scot free from the busy start to the day. School lunches had to be made the night before, but as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I was expected to get breakfast on the table. Of course, it would have been set out before I went to bed. Father would be long gone, so I didn’t have to worry about frying a pan of potatoes and salt pork. But I did have to make the porridge, and make sure the bread was sliced and

The porridge was ready to be put on the toaster rack that would sit on top of the stove where I would have removed one of the lids, allowing the bread to brown over the hot coals. As soon as everyone came in from the barn, I had to fly into action. The brothers changed their clothes, Mother and Audrey washed up, and I put four slices of bread on the toaster rack, and started to ladle out the porridge. A pot

MANAGING YOUR MONEY Uncomplicate your will
When it comes to our finances, we often complicate matters more than they need to be. This is usually inadvertent – we have an intention to make something easy and clear-cut, but end up making it more complicated because we didn’t seek the right advice, or thought we knew more than we really did. Wills are no different – they can be as straightforward or complicated as we want them to be. But in situations where there are multiple beneficiaries or unique circumstances, getting the right advice at the beginning is key to reducing headaches down the road.
values can differ from one another, they can change over time, and their after-tax value may be less than what’s expected – all which complicates matters when it becomes clear that one beneficiary will receive more than the other, even if that wasn’t the original intention (for example, when dividing an estate between children). Updating your will and clearly defining equal distribution can help mitigate these situations.
The correct way to create a will is to start from scratch. Avoid pre-prepared will kits. It’s not that the wording in those kits is incorrect, but rather they don’t fully prepare people for what they may or may not need. This can result in a situation that becomes more The complicated nature of a will often arises complicated.

Natural built homes open to public Sunday, Sept. 24 Experience the look and feel of some unique green homes during the popular annual Ontario-wide Natural Homes self-guided tour, Sunday, Sept. 24, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., being organized by the Ontario Natural Building Coalition, a grassroots organization dedicated to the promotion of natural building. In the Perth, Westport, Kingston area, a newly built rammed earth home and a large number of other
beautiful and unique natural homes, are among those welcoming visitors, together with over 30 others across the province. A $10 passport (available on-line at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca) provides admission to as many places across the province as you can visit in the day. Directions and other tour details are available at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca For those without internet access,
call 613-633-3557 before the day of the tour. This tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. Most structures feature other "green" technologies as well, including solar and wind electricity, composting toilets, earthen plasters, green roofs, natural finishes and more inno-
vations. Natural building may be the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular 100 mile diet – living in energy efficient homes and additions that are crafted from minimally processed, renewable and local materials. People choose natural homes for reasons ranging from energy efficiency, to the healthiness of the materials, to a desire for architecturally interesting and unique homes and additions.

Lanark County Community Action Network looking for new members Are you living in the Lanark County or Smiths Falls and wishing that things were different in your neighbourhood? Do you have concerns about the costs of life and the affordability of your home? Are you struggling to make ends meet on an income that doesn’t cover all your basic needs? Are you concerned about how decisions that impact your life are being made? Are you willing to learn how to take action to make change for yourself and others? If so, the Lanark County Community Action Network (LCCAN) wants to invite you to a meeting at the Table Community Food Centre in Perth to talk to other people with similar interests and to start to formulate an action plan to address the list of issues that local low-income community members and their allies are going to work together to address. This meeting is the beginning of the next phase of LCCAN’s housing outreach campaign that began last year with funding from the County of Lanark. For the next year, the table is receiving funding from the government of
Canada through the Homelessness Partnership Strategy — Rural and Remote funding that will enable us to continue to work with community members across the county on their housing concerns by making it possible for them to meet together regularly. The recruitment meeting will happen on Wednesday, Sept. 20 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at 190 Gore St. E. in Perth and will focus on how community members can act together to take action on the housing and homelessness issues that were identified in our 2016 survey of lowincome community members. This is a drop-in meeting so registration is not necessary. If you want to attend and need transportation help to come, please call 613-267-6428 ext. 4 or email beth@thetablecfc.org to arrange a ride or for reimbursement for gas costs. All community members are welcome to attend. A free, delicious lunch will be served at the end of the meeting. Submitted by the Table Community Food Centre

BarnDoor Productions' 23rd season opening "You're a bit ... rougher than I imagined, Mr. Dickens," says the Rev. Charles Dodgson on meeting the great novelist. Dodgson was the real name of Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. Dickens, of course, is possibly the greatest novelist of all time. It's a clash of personalities in BarnDoor Productions' season opener this October as Charles Dickens meets Charles/Lewis Dodgson/Carroll in A Perfect Likeness. The meeting (probably) never happened, but it is known that Dodgson once asked Dickens's publisher for his home address. Playwright Daniel Rover Singer has imagined what might have happened if Dickens had been invited to the reverend's rooms to sit for a photograph. Dodgson was an avid photographer and his surviving works are still original and interesting to this day. Dodgson was a fussy, delicate man who shunned the public, never indulged in excess and never really allowed himself to enjoy life — the fantasies in his writings are the total opposite of his life. Dickens was a huge personality, who loved to perform, loved excess, loved attention and revelled in life. How the two
might have gotten along makes for an intriguing, funny and thought-provoking piece of entertainment. To successfully bring these two giants of literature to life takes careful casting and BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has paired two of the area's strongest performers and their energy, even in early rehearsals, is infectious. Connor Williamson is a young Perth performer who already has two summers of experience with the Classic Theatre Festival, as well as roles in a number of BarnDoor shows, behind him. David Bird is a stalwart whose history with BDP goes back to their first production. Bird has become the area's première performer of Dickens, especially of A Christmas Carol, and now, he gets a chance to play Dickens himself. A Perfect Likeness is the first show of a season that combines classic with new and keeps it all fresh and alive. In December, it's an all-new take on a classic tale with BDP's new Cinderella panto — a traditional English-style fairy tale for kids with lots of fun for the adults and a few surprise, too. In February, you'll find out why BDP did a panto at Christmas, as Panto
Can Be Murder turns the set around and shows the happenings backstage during December's Cinderella! (By the way, that's original, too.) In April, it's Southern fried politics with a new show from one of the U.S.'s most important new writers: The Taming, by Lauren Gundersen, is a bitingly funny, brutally honest mix of American politics, Shakespeare and beauty pageant. When you've recovered from all that, the summer will bring plenty of entertainment, including a new version of an old play that's titled Willm Shaksper. All of that is at Perth's groundlevel, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, which also hosts Film Night International, who are returning for their sixth season at Full Circle, along with musical concerts, touring shows and much more. All of the details, including tickets for A Perfect Likeness and subscriptions for BDP's 23rd season are available online at www.barndoorproductions.ca. A Perfect Likeness runs Oct. 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. at Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. Just call 613 267 1884 for tickets.

Kemptville Players mark 50th anniversary and a new season The Kemptville Players Inc. is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the Canadian production of Norm Foster's play, Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak. Rehearsals are well underway, so mark your calendars with the show dates: Oct. 26 to 29 at the Urbandale Arts Centre. See what happens when Sadie Flynn, a convicted husband killer just released from prison, arrives in the small town of Big Oak. When Sadie’s bus rolls in, the sleepy town has a huge wake-up call! Help us have the best season yet. A lot of plays have been rehearsed and performed over our 50-year history. Our very own and well-known Vida Hopson arrived in Kemptville in 1949 when Jim Morton was the head of an informal drama group called Play for Fun, a group that lasted until the 1950s. Then, after a 10year hiatus, Vida revived the group in April 1967, naming it the St. James Players. Its first production was Noel Coward's I'll Leave It To You, put on at Leslie Hall. By 1974, the group had changed its name to the Kemptville Players to reflect the community. The name was incorporated in 1980 so our name is now officially Kemptville Players Inc. or KPI. We’ve performed plays at North Grenville High School and the Parish Hall at Kemptville College, but most of our productions were presented at Leslie Hall. We now present our plays at the Urbandale Arts Centre at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Come and see this wonderful play and help us celebrate our 50th anniversary. Tickets can be purchased at B&H, Business Strategies and at the door. You can also buy tickets online on Sept. 15 at www.kemptvilleplayers.ca or call Elaine at 613-258-5137. Tickets for the show are $15 and dinner theatre tickets for Saturday, Oct. 28 are $45. We look forward to seeing you in October! Submitted by the Kemptville Players Inc.

Jennifer Noxon opens new exhibit in Almonte Jennifer Noxon is wellknown in the Ottawa/Lanark County area for her many talents as a gifted songwriter, performer and leader of the Rhythm & Song Community Choirs. The Almonte resident is an amateur beekeeper and had a previous career as an adult educator. And, if you didn’t already know, she’s also an experienced visual artist who approaches artmaking with serious intent and a playful, visual intellect. Paint, Paper and Flotsam is an exhibition of three types of new work: small paintings on panel, found plastic constructions and a 3-D digital print array installed across one wall of the gallery. Each series informs the other in surprising and ironic ways. At the core of this new work is the "flotsam" series which she began two years ago. “While walking the beaches of Lake Ontario,” says Jennifer, “I picked up bits of colourful, weathered and water-worn plastic. I didn’t have anything in mind at the time — but there was a certain thrill to the collection process. The bits and bobs went into my
pockets and, eventually, into my studio.” Noxon describes how, after many months of exploration, the plastic pieces evolved into constructions that tell cautionary tales. “As I played with these found pieces, I thought a lot about where they might have come from, the effect discarded plastic is having on our waterways and natural systems, and just how much we depend on plastics in all aspects of our lives.” The constructions serve as metaphors that “suggest darker ideas of what could happen in the future.” Evolving from the plastic constructions, her small paintings on panel depict convoluted geometric shapes with elements of landscape and her signature playful colour palette. The plastic pieces appear again in an amazing, long array of folded paper imprinted with digital photographs. Please join us at General Fine Craft for the opening and meet the artist on Thursday, Sept. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. Visit www.generalfinecraft.com; for more information, call 613-4613463 or email generalfinecraft@gmail.com.

New blues series starts on the Rideau The Blues On The Rideau Dinner & Show Fundraiser Series at the Cove Inn in Westport, Ont., returns this month for its 13th season. Over the years, some of Canada’s best blues artists (Juno and/or Maple Blues Award, Western Canadian Music Award and Quebec Lys Blues Award winners/nominees) have played here, along with some American special guests. This year — Canada’s 150th anniversary — is no exception. We are very pleased and excited about this year’s lineup. There are 10 shows in total in 2017/18 — one a month from September through May (December excluded) including two 2 Night Stands* in January and May. All shows take place from 7-11 pm. The ticket price remains the same (for the fourth year in a row) — $65 (plus HST). It includes a delicious full course buffet dinner, door prizes and dancing. Proceeds go to support different local charities. To date, over $64,000 has been raised for the Westport community with the goal of another $5,000 this season. See the attached poster for a list of all the charities being supported. The 2017/18 season kicks off
Sept. 22 with four-time Maple Blues Award winner for Best Female Vocalist in Canada — the dynamic Angel Forrest and her great band from Quebec’s eastern townships. One of the more powerful singers on the blues/rock scene today, Angel’s voice has been described as a cross between Janis Joplin and Etta James. This is her second visit to the Cove. She tore the house down the first time around and we expect the same for this show. Advance ticket sales have been very brisk — her show is already almost sold out — so move fast if you want to be there! * Oct. 27 — Blackburn (Toronto); * Nov. 24 — Tas Cru w. Wicked Grin (New York state/ Ottawa); * Jan. 19 & 20* — Jack De Keyzer Band (Toronto) * 2 Night Stand; * Feb. 16 — Harpdog Brown & the Travelin’ Blues Show w. Sugar Brown (Vancouver/Toronto) * March 16 — Sean Pinchin Band (Kitchener) * April 20 — Boogie Patrol (Edmonton) May 11/12* — David Rotundo Band (Toronto/Mexico) * 2 Night Stand
Note: Artists may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Check with the Cove as each show approaches. Full details including artists’ bios, links to their websites and YouTube videos can be found at www.BluesOnTheRideau.ca. More info on the Cove can be found at www.coveinn.com. Advance reservations are required for these nights. They can be made in person at the Cove, by phone 1-888-COVEINN or 613-273-3636, or by email info@coveinn.com. Accommodation is available at the Cove and nearby bed and breakfasts, and there’s a motel in town — but book well ahead. All the beds in town usually sell out on BOTR nights. All BOTR shows take place in the friendly, intimate setting of the Cove’s dining room/ bar in the 140-year-old classic country inn in one of the most beautiful villages in eastern Ontario — Westport — located on the shores of Upper Rideau Lake on the world famous Rideau Waterway, only an hour-and-a-half drive from Ottawa, 45 minutes from Kingston, two-and-a-half hours from Syracuse, three hours from Toronto and Montreal.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, communication is essential in any relationship, including ones of a romantic nature. Learn to get your point across without being too forward.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Intense desires are simmering just beneath the surface, Leo. But you’re not sure how to express your feelings just yet. Usually you are direct, but this may require finesse.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have little desire to go above and beyond what is necessary this week. You may want to spend much of your time sticking to familiar routines.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Hanging out with friends seems like a great idea, especially when all of your tasks at work and at home have been completed, Virgo. Don’t let anything hold you back.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can probably use a good dose of peace and quiet right now, but there are too many things on your calendar for this to be possible anytime soon.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, enjoy a boost in ambition, stamina and overall energy in the coming days. This will help you initiate and complete projects with amazing precision.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Pay careful attention to all details, Scorpio. They are trying to tell you something about your future. You just do not know where the road will bend.

It is time to push away those feelings once and for all. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, find different ways to express your feelings to your partner.

ON THE BEAT: Commissionaires of Perth, helping to keep the public safe BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
Walking the beat with the Perth Commissionaires on Friday, Aug. 25, one gets a sense of what they do – keep people safe. Remember that if you are caught parking illegally in town and you see a white ticket fluttering under your windshield wiper. An initial reaction may be anger or frustration – or simply, oh yes, I forgot to put a loonie in the meter. That’s all it costs to park in Perth – just a dollar an hour – if you’ve exceeded your two-hour courtesy-parking limit while parked in the downtown core. “We take a photo of each vehicle as we ticket them, so there is no doubt the vehicle is parked illegally,” said Mike Benoit, provincial offences officer/parking authority supervisor. Benoit and Commissionaire John Smith (not his real name) were more than gracious hosts for The Perth Courier reporter’s walkabout on this sunny Friday. Just outside Town Hall, the first ticket issued was to a red pickup truck parked the opposite direction on Market Square. “Our biggest complaint about tickets issued to vehicles parked the wrong way is that they think this is a one-way street,” Benoit said. The first thing the Commissionaires do during their eight-hour shift, walking about 10 kilometres each day, is to e-chalk each vehicle. “We used to chalk tires, but now we
do it electronically,” Benoit said. Marking a tire with a piece of chalk in relation to the curb showed the Commissionaire if the car had moved. “Now, we do it electronically, as it allows us to import each licence plate into our system and the street where they’re parked,” Benoit said. Then if a driver has moved the vehicle to a different spot, Commissionaires know what time they initially parked in the downtown business area and if they have ended their two hours of free parking. “People don’t realize that they can’t move their vehicle to a different spot after two hours are up,” Benoit said. “They will get a ticket.” The Town of Perth offers complimentary parking for two consecutive hours in a five-hour period on downtown streets within the Business Improvement Area (BIA) courtesy of the Downtown Perth Business Improvement Association, Benoit explained. A walk around Market Square and south on Gore Street doesn’t result in any more tickets. “One of the worst spots is in front of Tim Hortons (Gore and Craig streets). It gets pretty congested during school hours,” Benoit said. There are parking areas, but more often than not people will park for “just a few minutes” while they run in for a quick coffee break, he said. Heading back north on Gore Street, the parking infractions are nonexistent. Over in the Crystal Palace municipal parking lot, the Commissionaires are looking for tickets with proper

A Perth commissionaire tickets a vehicle for parking in the opposite direction on Market Street, Aug. 25. dates and times or a monthly parking pass. “I hadn’t been on the job very long and didn’t know all the town staff vehicles,” Smith said. “I ended up giving our clerk a ticket. Her parking pass was in her other vehicle.” Just then we approach a vehicle with a dog inside the car and its owner petting him through the open window on the passenger side. “I’m just leaving,” she told the commissionaire. The little terrier-type dog was barking furiously at the Commissionaire – who pulled out a pet treat from the pocket of his uniform pants. “Maybe you can give this to him,” he said to the woman. The eager pup made friends quickly with the Commissionaire as it lapped up the salmon treat. “Sometimes it’s easier to make friends with dogs,” he said, as we walked from the car. A grin split his weathered face and his blue eyes twinkled. Smith is relatively new at this Commissionaire’s gig, but he’s not new to customer service and working with the public, nor is he new to working outside. “I was 30 years as a land surveyor,” he said. “But I needed a job and this one became available. I did a lot of training.” He was also a bar manager at a resort where he said he met Jane Fonda. “I do this (Commissionaire) because I really enjoy working with the public,” he said. “I don’t enjoy writing tickets … but I have met so many nice people here.” Benoit said he’s been a Commissionaire for eight years now. The Smiths Falls area man said he loves meeting people and keeping the community safe. “Not all of our interactions will be friendly, but there are a lot more positive than negative.” During the Crystal Palace walkabout, a couple of tickets were issued: one for an expired ticket and one for no ticket at all.
Over on Herriott Street in the parking lot, a man who owns a business in town was ticketed for an expired permit. He became agitated and spoke with Benoit about the infraction as Smith went on his way around to Gore Street again. Benoit listened to the man, who decided to fight his ticket at Town Hall as he “had some valid points” about tourists not wanting to come to town if they’re getting hit with parking tickets. “He really did have some good points, and I hope he brings them forward,” Benoit said. While these vehicles were given $15 fines for parking infractions ($10 if paid early) there are other areas in town where the fine is not so low. If you park on the sidewalk or are obstructing traffic, the set fine is $37.50 – or $25 if paid early. “Parking in a fire lane will get you a $75 ticket if paid early,” Benoit said. “Or if not, it’s a $112.50 set fine.” The Town of Perth permits those with a wheelchair access parking pass to park in any legal parking space (designated or not) free of charge, this includes municipal parking lots and at street meters. The 15 minute time limit is reserved for loading zones, meaning if they have a disabled pass they can park for up to 15 minutes in the town's loading zones, Benoit explained. “Not all towns are like this,” Benoit said. But for someone who does not have an accessible parking pass and is parked in an accessible space, the fine is $300. Avoiding tickets is easier now as there is a credit card option at the parking permit machines in most of the municipal lots. The machines in the hospital parking lot and at the museum parking lot will be changed over next spring, Benoit said. “And pretty soon we’ll have a new ticketing system,” he said. Instead of using just one handheld device to import information,

each Commissionaire will have one and they will work together. It will help with violation enforcement and incident reporting by automating parking management and generating more income. The new system provides a full service, cloud-based parking and security application that can scale to the town’s operation, Benoit explained. “And we’ll be able to import date just by taking a photo of a licence plate,” he said. The town just completed a tendering process for the new ticket and permit management system, which is replacing the preceding system that was acquired over 15 years ago,” Eric Cosens, director of development and protective services for the town, said in an email. “It includes a ticket and permit management software, replacement of our current hand-held devices, that are 10 years old and beyond their service life, and associated hand-held ticket printers.” The total price for the new system for the next three years is expected to range between $30,000 and $35,000.” TICKET FEE REVENUE The Town of Perth has a 27-year relationship with the Commissionaires. Cosens said the funds collected through parking tickets are used in many ways. “The funds raised pay for the parking system which includes: enforcement services, line painting, snow clearing of the parking lots, repairs in the parking lots, parking meter equipment acquisition, meter maintenance, operational service charges e.g. fee for credit card processing, and supplies, and parking service management software licensing fees,” Cosens said in an email. Commissionaires do the town’s bylaw enforcement including: merchandise display and signs; property and yard maintenance; the busking See COMMISSIONAIRES page 29

He served 21 years and thereafter continued to serve Canada within the Communications Security Establishment until his retirement at age 55.

Brooks J. D’Arcy BA, LLB, QC
October 6th, 1935 September 3rd, 2017 Our prince of a man, took his leave from us, after a brief illness, in the Great War Memorial Hospital in Perth, Ontario on Sunday, September 3rd, 2017. Loving husband of Linda (Doyle), devoted father of Brenda (Mark Lewis), Jennifer (Craig Hill), Allison and David. Proud grandfather of Kaitlyn, Connor, Emma and Alexandra. He also leaves his brothers Terry, Bill and Michael. D’Arcy was predeceased by his parents Dr. Edward F. and Isobel (Noonan) Brooks, his four sisters Mary, Patricia, Elizabeth and Susan. After graduating from Queen’s Law School and being called to the bar, he joined the firm Borden Elliot Kelly and Palmer which later became Borden Elliot. He developed an extensive practice in corporate law before becoming managing partner and CEO of the firm. He took a leading role in the formation of a national firm which was to become Borden Ladner Gervais, one of the nation’s largest firms. He was admired by his partners and associates for his vision in this endeavor. D’Arcy was a gentleman, a leader and the most generous of men who took pride in the time he spent on the boards on which he served, particularly St. Josephs Health Centre in Toronto. In spite of his achievements, his most precious time was spent with family and friends, especially when at Christie Lake. The family would like to thank Dr. Stephanie Popiel and the amazing staff and nurses who cared so lovingly for D’Arcy as well as our nieces and nephews who stood by his side during his final days. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St., West, Perth on Sunday, September 10th, 2017 from 12:00 Noon until 4:00 P.M. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. John’s Church, 38 Wilson St., East, Perth on Monday at 1:00 P.M. A reception for family and friends will follow at Code’s Mill On The Park, 53 Herriott St., Perth. Donations in D’Arcy’s memory could be made to the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, 33 Drummond St., West, Perth or St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto in lieu of flowers. I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing that I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again…William Penn Blair & Son Funeral Home, Perth (613) 267-3765 to send your condolences or for further information visit www.blairandson.com

GUNN, Robert – September 7, 2015 If we could visit Heaven even for a day, Maybe for a moment the pain would go away. We would put our arms around you, And whisper words so true. That living life without you, Is the hardest thing to do. No matter how we spend our days, No matter what we do. No morning dawns or evening falls, When we don’t think of you. Forever and always, Marilyn and Family

COADY, Sean Douglas In loving memory of our dear son, who tragically was taken too soon, September 16, 2006. Every day our hearts are filled with sorrow, Wondering how we will make it through tomorrow. Our time with you was precious, And the memories we have are too. The love we share together keeps us close to you. Maybe we cannot touch your hand or see your smiling face, Maybe we cannot hear your voice or feel your warm embrace, But, there is something we will always have, Tucked safely in our hearts, Our love for you… your love for us… will never let us part. “Those we love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as our life remains.” Love, Mom and Dad
COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug. Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say… Keep my memory with you, For memories never die. I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky. When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home. I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day. “In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…” Love, Erin

permit; the pedlars permit, and some inspection assistance with animal control, particularly within public parks, and general bylaw enforcement patrolling. They also undertake routine maintenance on all parking meters,” Cosens noted. Perth averaged just over 5,900 tickets issued in 2015 and 2016, he said. There were between 25 and 30 tickets that proceeded to court and just two of them had successful appeals – one due to a missing signage and another due to construction-related conditions. Cosens said during the 2015-16 reporting periods there were average fine revenues (all parking violations – i.e. not just unpaid meters or parking beyond a time limit) of roughly $78,000 annually out of total averaged yearly revenues of approximately $254,000. For 2016, after operating expenses, the town had anticipated a net income of just over $14,000 from the parking system. “Revenues were a bit shy of (what was) anticipated and we had capital expenses for the new parking machines and associated software in the parking lots; such that the system ended the year in slight deficit that, I believe, had to be covered by tax revenue.”

employees from coast to coast – Halifax to Victoria up to the Yukon and North-West Territories. We are a notfor-profit company, which means that 90 per cent of our bill rate goes back to our employees in direct and indirect benefits. There is a Newfoundland and Labrador Division as well. They have operations in St. John's and recently won a contract with the Town of Torbay, doing similar services as Kingston and Region does with Perth. "When we bill a client, we give back 90 per cent to our employees. We are about trying to give them a living wage. We have benefits: health, paid training, safety boots, and an EAP program, and life insurance. So we try and look after our employees as best as we can with the bill rate we receive.” As a contracted security guard company, a client will hire Commissionaires and pay them an hourly wage, “and we take that wage and give 90 per cent back to employees and keep 10 per cent for administration.” They have been working with Perth since 1990, “doing bylaw for the Town of Perth.” There are many contracts across Canada. The national annual gross revenue of Commissionaires is over $500 million. “The Perth bylaw is one of the many contracts we have across Canada, and we have many, many contracts.” Voith is the CEO for the Kingston Region – from Cornwall to Bowmanville, including Smiths Falls and Perth. The region is divided into five districts: Cornwall, Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, and Coburg. Perth falls under the district of Brockville.

Learning takes back seat 1-888-657-6193 during statue debate classifiedseast@metroland.com In downtown Franklin, Tennessee the public square sits at the heart of the rapidly growing city of 70,000. It’s a community focal point with public buildings, including city hall, facing the square. Look to the west along Main Street and the historic, picturesque downtown unfolds in front of you. At the centre of the two-acre square stands the city’s Confederate monument. In the years following the American Civil War, communities across the nation erected memorials to honour their war dead. Some Franklin women founded a local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. They held bake sales and quilting bees for 17 years, until they had raised the $2,700 needed to erect the monument. They chose Nov. 30, 1899, the 35th anniversary of the Battle of Franklin, as the day for the dedication ceremony. There is an interesting side story about the statue. It arrived by train several days before the dedication and was taken to the square by wagon. Workers began hoisting the statue of a Confederate soldier to the top of the column. During the process it slipped from its moorings and fell, crashing against the base of the monument. In the process, a piece of the soldier’s hat was chipped off. No attempt was made to repair the small break and the statue was successfully raised into place. Five days later 10,000 people were on hand to witness the dedication. The Franklin statue depicts an anonymous Confederate infantryman at rest. Locals have nicknamed him “Chip” in recognition of his damaged headgear. I have viewed Chip and photographed him several times over the years. Franklin is a Sister City of Carleton Place where we live and I currently chair the local Sister City Committee. My wife Kathleen is also a member. During a private visit to Nashville in February Kathy and I went to nearby Franklin to have dinner with friends. As I write this article I am looking at the photos I took of the Confederate monument that night. After dark it’s illuminated by floodlights and is an impressive sight. Today, however, in communities across the United States efforts to remove Confederate monuments are ongoing. Activity ramped up considerably in the wake of the violence that erupted during a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. A 32-year-old female counter protester was killed and several others injured when a speeding car deliberately ran them down. That shocking incident has fuelled debates across the U.S. about race and free speech which are ongoing and could continue for months or years. The white supremacists and neo-

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Nazis who invaded Charlottesville did so partly to protest that city’s plan to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He led Southern forces during the Civil War. Remove statues What they actually accomplished was to turn the statue removal issue into a national cause. Cities such as Baltimore, New Orleans, Gainesville and Lexington have either removed Civil War statues or are in the process of doing so. Now centres across the country are caught up in the debate. Franklin, Tennessee is no exception. Two petitions are currently circulating in the city. One calls for the removal of the war monument. The other is called simply “Save Chip!” I’m not American so I can’t participate directly in this debate. But due to my strong interest in history I am moved to offer some thoughts. This issue also has a cross-border connection, something I wrote about last week. In the aftermath of Charlottesville there are calls to remove certain statues and plaques in Canada as well. A few weeks ago an Ontario teachers’ federation proposed that the name of our first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, should be removed from nine elementary schools which currently bear his name. The teachers feel Macdonald’s terrible treatment of Indigenous people means naming schools after him is wrong. So far that idea has failed to gain much traction with politicians or the public either according to the polls. My contention last week was that despite Macdonald’s misdeeds, teaching our history is far more important than hiding it. In general, I feel the same way about the situation in the U.S. although the circumstances surrounding the removal of Civil War statues has two sides in my opinion. Memorials to Lee and others are being cited as ongoing symbols of white supremacy. It’s a valid point when you consider the Confederate states seceded and fought the Civil War mainly in an effort to maintain slavery. In addition, many of the now contentious Confederate statues, which are named for Rebel leaders, were erected long after the Civil War. Many appeared early in the 20th Century to help support segregationist laws. Others were added, in cookie-cutter fashion, in the 1960s in an effort to See MAGUIRE page 38

This Week’s Pets
Chevy
Henderson
Henderson is eight years old, a recent arrival at LAWS who has settled in very well. He is mostly white with interesting grey accents, silky-soft, laid-back, friendly and sociable, loves
Chevy is four years old, a gorgeous medium long hair brown tabby with the biggest purr and the tiniest meow! He shares a run with other cats but prefers to keep to himself. He loves people and can't get enough petting and attention but does not like when
another cat butts in on his cuddlesession. He hasn't been at LAWS long so he may just be settling in to the new environment or maybe he just needs to be the only cat in your life.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed is a three-year-old tuxedo, outgoing and friendly, eager for attention from visitors to the run he happily shares with other cats. He is a recent arrival at LAWS and has adjusted very well to shelter life. He will be delighted to adjust well to life in a home of his own!
Robin
Robin is the youngest of this week's selection but he has been at the shelter the longest - nearly five months. He
was initially scared of us and refused to be touched, but after months of TLC he has opened his heart to the staff and volunteers. He is calm and undemanding and now comes to greet visitors to his run, rubs around their legs, enjoys being petted and even being held for a bit of a cuddle. He deserves a lovely home where he can enjoy the comforts of indoor life. He is a fairly large, well-muscled lad about two and a half years old with beautiful silky grey and white fur.

counter the civil rights movement. I understand why people want those particular statues removed. However, many others across the south, including the Franklin statue, are memorials to the Confederate dead in the Civil War. To me those monuments should be left alone as their stated purpose is to pay tribute to those who died. The cause southerners defended during the war is arguably one of the worst anyone ever fought and died for. But consideration should be given to the fact that many Confederate war victims did not volunteer to fight. They were drafted under a compulsory service law instituted in 1862. The Battle of Franklin, on Nov. 30, 1864, was a Union victory. There were nearly 10,000 casualties on
both sides. Nearly 1,500 Confederate dead are interred in the privately funded McGavock Confederate Cemetery in Franklin. If Franklin residents and people in other American centres vote in favour of removing local Civil War memorials as part of a democratic process then so be it! However, a senator from Tennessee who was asked about the current statue debate said, “I feel we should spend less time erasing history and more time learning about it.” To me his sentiment remains an important part of this debate. Hiding history is not the answer. Learning from it should be the primary objective, not only in the U.S. and Canada but around the world!

Laura Smith invades Perth's Listening Room Series Here's hoping you had a magical summer, attended lots of music festivals, got turned on by new-to-you musicians and found enough sunshine to keep you smilin' inside and out. As we head into fall, it's good to start planning ahead. This article will hopefully assist in doing so as the Listening Room Series in Perth kicks off on Sunday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. with an award-winning Canadian legend from the East Coast ... singer / songwriter Laura Smith at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). Championed by the late Peter Gzowski of CBC Radio's Morningside, he too had been smitten by her haunting voice heralding our past when her song, My Bonny, her adaptation of the original My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, from her second album hit the airways. From then on, he included her tunes in many of his shows. I remember hearing her live for the first time at the Tulip
Musical Musings STEVE TENNANT
Festival in Ottawa and being mesmerized by the beautifully wholesome sound of her truly unique voice and the insightful, creative storytelling she offered through most songs by her own hand. Many a time I've seen her bring tears to the eyes of a whole audience, just singing a cappella. She brought the Stewart Park Festival audience to a rousing standing ovation last time she played. Though born and raised in London, Ont., she has called Canada's East Coast home since 1984, which has affected her writing — boats, water, historical yarns, community and the charm of the people inhabiting. If Laura Smith weren't enough to make you rush to get tickets as she's sold out every time she
plays here, she's being accompanied by the widely recognized guitar virtuoso, multiple award winning Tony Quarrington. Tickets are $20 and available by calling 613-267-7902 to arrange necessary payment in advance to reserve. Dinner reservations at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant) can be made by calling 613-267-3170 which includes your ticket. Part of the proceeds will be going to the Lanark County Community Justice Program — a worthy program facilitating restorative justice in our area. Other upcoming dates to put on your calendar for the Listening Room Series are: Sunday, Oct. 22 — Arlene Quinn (solo — performing her own music), Sunday, Nov. 12 — returning, from out West — John Wort Hannam and Sunday, Dec. 3 is Irish Mythen. For those new to the area or looking for a different entertainment experience, the Lis-
tening Room Series features quality singer/songwriter musicians from all around the world who perform original material in a quiet, concert-like atmosphere, usually two sets an evening. These are nonprofit and run as fundraisers for different charities each month. Everyone speaks of the intimacy of the experience, being able to meet the artists at breaks and enjoy the stories between songs. Email me to get on list for notifications. My email is ferdburphyll@ gmail.com. UPCOMING EVENT Saturday, Sept. 23: 7 p.m. “Between the Lines” at The Cove, Westport, An Intimate Night of Great Canadian Singer/Songwriters; Jenny Whiteley, Suzie Vinnick, Rick Fines, Wendell Ferguson will perform, sharing their musical gifts. $55 for dinner and show. Reservations suggested. Call 613-2733636.

Public gets insight into Almonte Riverwalk extension BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
The next phase of Almonte’s Riverwalk is within sight and seeks to enhance the existing recreational and heritage offerings in town. Several members of the public came out to learn more about the concept plan for the Riverwalk extension to Coleman Island during an open house Aug. 21 at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. Displays and maps were set up with an opportunity “to look at concepts and encourage people to provide comments on the concepts,” noted CAO Diane Smithson. The plans, created by Lashley + Associates Corp. feature a 3 km extension with a trail along Coleman Island, right by the textile museum and incorporates the important role woolen mills played in Almonte’s history with the renewal of the Mill Workers’ Pathway that connects to the existing Riverwalk, as well as Lanark County’s new Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail on the former CP Rail line and the Pinehurst gatehouse property. It will highlight heritage aspects such as the Rosamond Woollen Mill, the textile museum, Coleman Island Park, railway trestle and rail station as it winds between Union Street, near Thomas Street, to the rail line. What could be called the crown jewel of the project is the proposed Mill Workers’ Staircase between Union Street and the former Rosamond Woollen Mill. It will be a timber structure with interpretive plaques. “It’s a rebuild,” Smithson said, stating the staircase used to provide access

we’ve started to get a fairly good response so far,” he said during the open house. “We certainly need all the help we can get though. I don’t see this project being a success without tanat gible support from the community.” Gillis estimated the staircase portion of the plan will account for $100,000 of the total cost of phase Bean Chevrolet 613-257-2432 two. “We’ve already received a $1,000 Buick GMC Ltd. 375 McNeely Ave, Carleton Place donation from a lady in the United States who used to play on the mill workers’ staircase, so she was happy to hear about it (expansion),” he commented, noting the idea was the brainchild of the late community leader Herb Pragnell. He believed that Mississippi Mills needs a positive project such as this, as there’s “so much negativity in our Assisted Living and community.” Memory Care Those interested in making a dona6 Arthur Street, Carleton Place tion for phase two of the Riverwalk Liz Taylor can do so by making cheques payable to the Municipality of Mississippi Mills and mailing them to the Mississippi Mills Municipal Office, P.O.

Several Mississippi Mills residents turned up at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum Aug. 21 for the first look at concept plans for the Almonte Riverwalk extension to Coleman Island. Phase two of the Riverwalk is expected to cost $310,000 and includes the recreation of the Mill Workers’ Staircase and pathway. A fundraising campaign is currently underway to help raise funds for the project. for workers at the former mill. “There are plans to have a viewing platform at the top.” The landscaping and pathway materials will be consistent with the existing Riverwalk and features proposed include flagstone pavers, accessible seating, interpretive signage, bike parking, lighting, etc. Phase two of the Riverwalk carries a price tag of approximately $310,000, but Smithson said it’s a long-term project for the municipality, which will be funded 50 per cent through public fundraising and the Riverwalk advisory committee, and 50 per cent from taxation.
“We can’t do it if we don’t have the dollars,” she stated. “I don’t see it happening tomorrow, but I think it will happen,” continued Mississippi Mills Coun. and Riverwalk advisory committee chair, Alex Gillis. “This is an opportunity to have three kilometres of Riverwalk in our community. It would be great for the local community and economic development.” However, according to Gillis, the fundraising campaign for the next phase is starting to gather steam. Cash donations will be matched by the municipality. “We’ve sent out 400 letters and

The Corporation of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be flushing the water mains in all areas of Almonte Ward beginning Monday, September 18th, 2017 to Friday, October 20th, 2017, during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends). This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. • Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. • If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. • Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometres away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water. • Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts. • We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water. We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed and if you would like more information, please call the Roads & Public Works Department at 613-256-2064 and speak to Rod Cameron, ext. 232 or Cindy Hartwick ext. 258.

County council green lights rezoning of Almonte parkland BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Lanark County councillors had a change of heart during their Sept. 6 meeting and voted to support a Mississippi Mills Community Official Plan amendment to rezone and sell a portion of Almonte’s Don Maynard Park. Concerned residents who packed council chambers were silent after the vote passed, particularly given that the economic development committee turned down a recommendation from Jp2g Consulting planner Brian Whitehead to support the amendment at its Aug. 23 session. During that meeting, Whitehead endorsed rezoning a portion of Block 40, known as Don Maynard Park, to permit the creation of five single-detached lots. Of the nearly two acres of parkland, which fronts on Gale Street in the Gale Street subdivision and backs onto Holy Name of Mary Catholic School, approximately 1.2 acres would remain for the park. The municipality is hoping to collect $300,000 from the sale of the lots for upgrades to Gemmill Park with an expected $100,000 to be dedicated to enhancing Don Maynard Park, named in 2003 for the community’s late recreation champion. Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills Mayor) moved a motion for county council to pass the amendment. Before discussion on the matter, councillors heard presentations from county planner Julie Stewart on the process to review an Official Plan amendment, which includes looking at compliance with the Provincial Policy Statement, Planning Act, local Official Plans, zoning bylaws and the county’s Sustainable Community Official Plan. “So really, our role is to make sure that everything is in compliance with the lower tier Official Plan, our (county) Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement?” questioned McLaughlin.
“…Yes, it’s a planning-based decision,” Stewart answered. Coun. Klaas Van Der Meer (Montague Deputy Reeve) asked Stewart if “under your expertise” Mississippi Mills had followed proper process for the parkland sale and rezoning. “I’ll refer back to Brian Whitehead’s technical report and his recommendation to the economic development committee was that the proposed amendment complied,” she stated, noting that she couldn’t provide an opinion on the matter as, “I wasn’t involved in this.” After a few weeks of thought, several county councillors admitted they had changed their mind. “I’m thinking with my heart and not my head,” Coun. Keith Kerr (Tay Valley Reeve) stated. “I don’t think it’s Tay Valley’s job to tell Mississippi Mills what to do with its planning.” “I voted against this (amendment) the last time (Aug. 23),” added Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith Deputy Reeve). “I thought and thought and thought about it and I agree with a lot of what Keith said…and after Julie’s presentation earlier, it’s more our role just to make sure that the process was followed correctly.” “This has been a huge struggle for me, but I’m going to vote in favour of allowing it,” she continued. In regards to claims by Gale Street resident Mario Coculuzzi at the Aug. 23 meeting of private meetings and that Mississippi Mills attempted to sell the land before the public meeting, Coun. Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley Deputy Reeve) asked for Stewart’s input. “The local municipality holds the public meeting and those requirements are set out in the Planning Act,” Stewart said. “They (Mississippi Mills) have provided a sworn affidavit to the county that they have complied with the requirements. The public meeting was held and submissions have
been provided.” The discussions Coculuzzi referenced are emails between Mississippi Mills CAO Diane Smithson and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) staff, primarily superintendent of business, Bonnie Norton, where parkland was offered to the
school board before the process came to Mississippi Mills council for discussion. The school often used the vacant land as an extension of its yard. The Canadian Gazette has obtained emails showing the CDSBEO was asked by Smithson if there was interest in purchasing the land on Jan. 28,
2016. After Norton inquired about the price and whether the municipality would pursue selling it if the CDSBEO wasn’t interested, in subsequent correspondence from Feb. 1, 2016, Smithson said, “Yes, we will be pursuing selling See PARK page A/CP10

‘Three Chefs and a Food Bank’ supports The Hunger Stop Sept. 18 to 20 BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Looking for some interesting meal ideas, a chance to meet talented chefs or just want to support your local food bank? Then, come out to Three Chefs and a Food Bank at Mitchell’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place Sept. 18 to 20. This will be the third year for the event, which raises the profile of The Hunger Stop – Lanark County Food Bank, which serves the communities of Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith, and challenges local chefs to cook with ingredients from a food bank hamper. It also coincides with Food Banks Canada’s Hunger Awareness Week (Sept. 16 to 23) and the Ontario Association of Food Banks’ Hunger Action Month. According to The Hunger Stop manager Karin Nakamura, the event, formerly known as the Master Chef Cook-off, has been rebranded this year. “We wanted to freshen (the name) up and make it ours,” she noted. “The Master Chef name has its own branding and for one thing, this isn’t a competition. As far as I’m concerned, any chef that’s willing to play is a winner and we’re all winners because it supports the food bank.” Once again, three chefs on three different nights will be tasked with making a three-course meal from a mystery

Three Chefs and a Food Bank returns to Mitchell’s Your Independent Grocer in Carleton Place Sept. 18 to 20. Three chefs will cook with mystery box ingredients from The Hunger Stop - Lanark County Food Bank. Admission is free to all events. Above, chef Wendy Barbaro of Almonte’s Mill Street Crepe Company does her food preparation during last year’s event. Barbaro will be back again this year, on Sept. 19. box of ingredients. First up on Sept. 18 is chef Jordan Forester, chef at The Grand Hotel’s newly-opened pub, Smith & Barrel in Carleton Place, followed by chef Wendy Barbaro from Almonte’s Mill Street Crepe Company
on Sept. 19 and concluding with chef Ian Carswell of Carleton Place’s Black Tartan Kitchen on Sept. 20. Each evening runs from 7 to 9 p.m. Nakamura said the event is going back to its first year roots with the
mystery box. “Last year, the four chefs shopped for their ingredients at the food bank, but the mystery box adds some fun and it’s a challenge,” she remarked. “The chefs won’t know what they will be cooking up, but the food is still drawn from what a family of four would be getting from the food bank.” Admission each night is free, however donations are welcome. Reservation and advanced bookings are not required and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Events will be held in the upstairs teaching kitchen at Mitchell’s. “It truly is for anybody. You can get new ideas about how to cook and tips and tricks on how to make things with what you have at home and the kinds of things clients will be receiving from the food bank,” Nakamura said. It also gives individuals an opportunity to interact with the chefs, ask questions and become more knowledgeable about food preparation. “It’s a lot of fun; insightful and inspirational,” she said. “…And best of all, we get to taste everything at the end.” Three Chefs and a Food Bank also coincides with Food Banks Canada’s Hunger Awareness Week (Sept. 16 to 23) and the Ontario Association of Food Banks’ Hunger Action Month. In Ontario, more than 335,000 individuals seek out food bank services each month. Locally, The Hunger Stop feeds more than 700 people a month,
“37 per cent of whom are children. Two-parent households marginally exceed the number of single-parent households and combined, they make up about 45 per cent of our families,” she stated. There’s also been a large increase in the number of single people accessing food bank services, up 34 per cent in the last three years. “I think it’s reflective of the fact that social assistance is simply not adequate and most of their checks go to rent…” Nakamura said. Other facts to consider – 22 per cent of households that access The Hunger Stop are or were recently employed and over 40 per cent of households served rely on disability-related income support. “For those who are not in subsidized housing, housing costs an average 56 per cent of income with 90 per cent of our client households spending more than the threshold 30 per cent,” she explained. But there is some good news, Nakamura said. “On a positive note, what we have seen is the new Canada child benefits in place over the last couple of years seem to have made a difference and our total number of families served is down,” she commented. “Still, thirty-seven per cent of the people we serve are children.” For more information, visit lanarkcountyfoodbank.ca.
Bringing the Specialist to You CPDMH’s established Telemedicine programs include such specialties such as Hematology, Respirology, Dermatology and Endocrinology. The system also supports weekly rounds, linking health care providers with colleagues at other facilities. Finally, the technology is used for meetings and education sessions.
Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) has been providing health care via Telemedicine since 2001. In fact, the Hospital has one of the largest Telemedicine programs in the region. CPDMH is part of the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). In 2010, 335 patients were cared for via Telemedicine at CPDMH. In 2016, that number grew to 2,342. Telemedicine connects patients and health care providers using two-way, secure video-conferencing, reducing the stress and time needed to travel to receive care. It can help improve access to care and care coordination, and reduce wait times. A Telemedicine appointment is just like a regular appointment, only the health care provider is on a monitor and uses tele-diagnostic equipment to hear heart and breath sounds and a special
camera to provide close-up images – all as if you are sitting in the same room. At each appointment, patients are able to see, hear and talk to a doctor or other health professional. Registered Nurse Denise Davies has been CPDMH’s Telemedicine Coordinator since the program began. “I love my job. Seventeen years ago, no one knew what Telemedicine was. Now patients can really see the benefits. And they love coming to their familiar local hospital instead of travelling to see a specialist.”
For the latest updates, visit www.cpdmh.ca/redevelopment
Recently, CPDMH added a new piece of equipment to its program. The new clinical system has upgraded software and includes a larger 40” screen, providing better images. To access the program, patients require referrals from their family doctor. For more information on the program or services offered at CPDMH, please contact Denise Davies at 613-253-3821 or ddavies@carletonplacehosp.com or visit www.cpdmh.ca/telemedicine.

Carleton Place submits third application for Central Bridge funding BY TARA GESNER
to $300 million by 2019.
The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place council members during the physical environment and planning and protection committee meetings, held on Sept. 5. Carleton Place is hoping good things happen in threes, especially when it comes to the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF). The town is about to submit a third application to the province for OCIF top-up monies. The purpose: a major rehabilitation of Central Bridge, the main crossing on Bridge Street near the town hall. Chief administrative officer Paul Knowles noted the municipality is eligible to ask for up to $1,083,205. Either alone or in partnership with another community, Carleton Place can submit one project proposal, with the deadline being Sept. 27 at 5 p.m. “This is a competitive application process, assessing projects primarily on their critical health and safety aspects,” Knowles reported. The provincial government is tripling the OCIF annually
High frequency train Carleton Place council is on board with VIA Rail’s HighFrequency Train project. “I received a letter from the (Greater) Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, looking for us to support VIA Rail’s highfrequency train,” chief administrative officer Paul Knowles stated. The proposed initiative spans the busiest corridor in Canada – from Windsor to Quebec, with an identified route from Toronto through Peterborough to Ottawa, before continuing on to Montreal and Quebec City. It is expected the project will improve the quality, frequency and reliability of passenger rail services, and it will have a direct effect on the VIA Rail’s viability, attracting more customers and promoting economic growth. In supporting the project, Carleton Place and other municipalities are calling on the Canadian government to financially support the initiative, and they ask the province to include the plan on its list of priority infrastructure projects.
tgesner@metroland.com
The scheme will create economic benefits in communities along the line, including Carleton Place. Too, it will connect passengers with other modes of transportation (light rail, etc.), in addition to city centres, smaller communities and more. “How realistic is this?” Coun. Theresa Fritz asked. “Tracks have been ripped up everywhere.” “I am not opposed to supporting this, I just question how probable it is … if it happens – great,” she continued. Knowles noted, “I am a little disappointed it is not a highspeed train.” “If this does happen, it would be a huge benefit to all of us,” mayor Louis Antonakos said.

OPINION
Connected to your community
I still get that feeling This year, for the second year in a row after completing a bachelor’s and master’s degree, I won’t be going back to school. But that back-toschool feeling hasn’t gone away. When the cool, crisp air starts to creep its way into the evening breeze in late August – I can’t help but get that fluttery excitement in my gut that, for me, has always accompanied the back-to-school season. It’s just something about that fresh, fall air and the buzz of students filing off their school busses, the big backpacks filled to the brim with notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils, and the crossing guards – again – out in full force that marks the start of another school year. And even though I don’t take my yearly trip to Staples and the bookstore anymore, I still enjoy the boost of energy and excitement that comes around this time of year. Many of my colleagues and friends who’re in the world of journalism feel the same. Largely, it has to do with us being keeners in school and humans who still love to read and write, but mostly I believe our feel-good feelings once Labour Day is over comes from our deep love for learning and the good memories that came from being smart and studious. Each year, the Tuesday after the Labour Day long weekend marks the start of something new. The energy of new possibilities that accompanies the turning of leaves feels more to me like a new year, than New Year’s Day itself. But as an adult who won’t be going back to school this year, I still have the urge to go to Staples and get some new stationary just like I used to, to prepare myself for the year ahead. As a kid, I liked school and I liked learning. I wasn’t a popular kid by any means – but I was a good student. I was (and still am) a little weird and quirky. So, for me, the start of a new school year and getting back into to school after, what then, seemed like a long summer was a chance to get back in the classroom and learn; something that I still love to do. The compulsory back-to-school tradition may be over, but my love for learning is not.
EVELYN HARFORD View From Here And, as a writer, my love for allthings stationary and books are most definitely not over. Though my days of sitting in a classroom are done (at least for now), I still yearn for new experiences and opportunities to learn something new. But, as an adult, getting the motivation to learn something new or continuing to push forward to traverse new topics gets harder. There’s no one telling you read such-andsuch a book, there’s no one telling you to compete such-and-such an art project or finish writing an essay; it’s all up to you. In some ways the freedom to do (and learn) whatever you want is exhilarating. In other ways, it’s more difficult. As I drove to work drinking my Tim Hortons coffee, I saw students walking into Algonquin College in Perth – backpacks on, ready for their new courses. Watching them file back to class, I couldn’t help feel a little bit envious. I remember the butterflies walking into class, coffee in hand, with the world at my fingertips. I relish those memories and try to channel that drive today. But, it doesn’t stop me from occasionally glancing at local course calendars and fantasizing about long days spent within library book stacks, researching subjects that fascinated me. Looking back, there were times in my seven years of post-secondary education that I just wanted school to be over. But now, I wish I could have cherished that time of self-discovery and freedom a little more. Now with bills to pay and a life that I’m building, it’s harder to find time for the things I did in university – travel, take random courses about world history and philosophy. But having a career in journalism helps ease the pain a little more. At work, I still get to learn new things every day (and drink a lot of coffee). So, the learning continues – school or no school.

Walk gets new leash on life
Carleton Place resident Florence Pye again organized the local Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides, which took place on Saturday, Sept. 9. The walk began outside the IDA Drugmart, located at 47 Lansdowne Ave. 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. Approximately 16 people participated in this year’s walk, including Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos and Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn. Earlier in the day, Pye received a $500 donation from participants in the Poker Run & Show & Shine for Home Town Hearts. This year’s walk raised an outstanding $1,555.30. Pye in the sky!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Reader: Where did the will of the majority go? DEAR EDITOR:
Have we lost democracy in Mississippi Mills and Lanark County? Today, 350-plus children will find out that Don Maynard Park may be lost if residents don’t go to Ontario Municipal Board and win this. Today, I have to tell an 80-yearold man and his wife that their retirement home’s front door will be a few feet away from the side of a house. Today, our community will know we don’t matter. Today, I have to look at my grandkids and try to explain this. I watched them walk across the park to school. How many more times will I be able to do that?
I hope you never have to feel the sadness we are feeling today. I looked out at Don Maynard Park and it looks so much like the park beside the Lanark County administration building in Perth, and I can still hear you say you wouldn’t want to lose this park because there is a seniors’ home nearby. We have two schools and two seniors’ homes nearby. Our quality of life as we know it will be gone. I have lived here for 30 years and cannot believe what happened Sept. 6 at Lanark County council. Their vote has given Mississippi Mills council the right to destroy parks and greenspace and our heritage of Almonte that they promised in their election campaigns to keep and preserve. What really happened at county

council? You could have heard a pin drop. The people were so hurt and stunned. How do we teach our children respect, honesty, integrity and decency? Lastly, I want to apologize to Don Maynard and his family, for the lie he was told at the dedication, that this was his park forever; and that no, council didn’t think enough of you to want to keep it intact. I want to thank those that voted on our behalf. Maybe there is some good, I sure hope so. Our council should be ashamed of what they are doing Gloria (Van Dusen) Leonard Almonte

Ottawa man charged with careless driving A 54-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario after a Sept. 5 collision on McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place. At approximately 7:06 p.m., Carleton Place OPP responded to the single motor vehicle collision where it was discovered a passenger vehicle had struck a traffic light. Lanark County paramedics and Ocean Wave Fire Company firefighters also responded to the scene, which closed McNeely Avenue for a short time and caused an interruption in power. One person in the vehicle suffered minor injuries and was transported to hospital, but there were no other injuries to people outside the vehicle. As a result, Richard Poirier of Ottawa has been charged with careless driving. These charges have yet to be proven in court.

it.” On Feb. 23, 2016, Smithson said Mississippi Mills was seeking $150,000 for the parcel of land. Upon review by the CDSBEO’s executive team and realtor, Norton replied March 11, 2016. “The realtor indicated that this property is more or less land locked…our realtor feels, based on his observations and some previous sales in that area, that it is worth no more than $10,000 at best…” At the time, the municipality indicated Don Maynard Park was Block 40 and the land adjacent to the school was Block 42, but it was later revealed that the nearly two acres encompass just one parcel of land, Block 40. Smithson told Norton, “we (municipality) would be looking at $575,000 for both parcels,” and on April 13, 2016, offered “if the board wanted to pay for it over a period of five years to ease the burden on the board’s budget, you could present this as part of your offer and I would bring it forward as something for council to consider. I make no promises on what council will say but would be willing to present it.”
In another email from that same day, Norton said the CDSBEO “can’t afford anything near that” and inquired whether Mississippi Mills would undertake a rezoning and Official Plan amendment to change its use. “What would it be changed to if the municipality were to sell both parcels? Just wondering who our neighbours might be if we can’t afford to purchase it,” she stated. Smithson noted she couldn’t tell Norton what “the rock bottom price” of the land would be. “What I can tell you is that the property would be rezoned to whatever a prospective purchaser would like,” she continued. “We are not sure whether that will be condos or single family residential homes, duplexes, etc.” In an April 19 email, Norton indicated the CDSBEO’s final offer, approved by CDSBEO director of education, William Gartland, would be $30,000, which Smithson said she would present to council. Following a May site visit arranged with municipal staff and board representatives and the Aug. 9, 2016 public meeting on the sale of parkland, communication resumed Sept. 29 when
Smithson spoke with Gartland regarding the exchange of the land for another block owned by the board, which fronted on Harold Street. In an Oct. 13 letter to Smithson, CDSBEO board chair Brent Laton said the board was surprised to see this being presented as an option for council to consider at its Oct. 18, 2016 committee of the whole meeting, when “during that (Sept. 29) conversation, director Gartland indicated that the board was not interested in changing the current footprint of the Holy Name of Mary School yard.” Process followed During the Sept. 6 session, Mississippi Mills planner Stephen Stirling also provided insight into the process the municipality followed before county councillors took the vote. He began by noting that Mississippi Mills has 26 parks with six of those and one open space located in the east quadrant, where Don Maynard Park lies. To manage recreation assets the 2013 parks and recreation master plan, created by Stantec Consulting, which included public consultation and analysis, the creation of an inventory of municipal parks and the acquisition,
consolidation and disposal of them. “In carrying out the assessment, some interesting numbers were found… What they found was that there was a significant amount of overlay. This creates an indication that the municipality typically is over served,” Stirling stated. “When you look at the numbers of ministry standards of four hectares per 1000, in 2011, the municipality was averaging 4.8 hectares per 1,000, so we’re already exceeding that objective,” he continued. “In 2013, even with intensification and growth, it only dropped to 4.6 hectares per 1,000. Based on our current growth projection rates, even when we project as far ahead as 2023, we find that we’re still at 4.5 hectares per 1,000. We’re still exceeding that four hectares per 1,000.” These figures are in sync with a previous recreation and cultural operational review in 2000 by Anne Robinson and Associates, Stirling said. “…They did a review and found the same conclusion. They identified parks, Don Maynard Park being one of them, to be deemed surplus to the municipality’s needs and disposed of.” The findings of the 2013 plan trig-
gered a process, which included notifying the public of council’s intent to sell the park through a public meeting Aug. 9, 2016. Stirling said in order to acknowledge the concerns of the public, council decided to hold a public information centre this past February. Six options were presented “and one of them from the public that didn’t meet the criteria.” Council chose an option in March to create the five-lot configuration. “… This resulted in a reduction in parkland of Don Maynard Park from 1.83 acres to 1.18 acres. This works out to about a 37 per cent reduction. When we look at it throughout the whole community, it actually relates to reduction in parkland in the area of nine per cent,” Stirling explained. He stressed that the amendment is about “land use changes.” In the end, the Official Plan amendment is not about the sale of the parkland,” Stirling added. “The parkland was a decision made by council at the local level. The amendment is about recognizing that the local council made that determination that it was surplus to their needs, their recreational needs…”

of his grandmother. Kept in a cold room, he wasted away to only 21 pounds. The Roy Brown Society has been approved for a matching federal contribution grant from the Commemorative Partnership Program, offered by way of Veterans Affairs Canada. The grant is for up to $50,000 of the project costs. “Todd has confirmed it is guaranteed,” Flynn told the Canadian Gazette in a followup interview. Council members also agreed to consider the reallocation of mural monies in the 2018 budget — $5,000 to the statue project. “Assuming we are putting $5,000 away for next year, I am hoping we can do the same,” Flynn said. There is an artist and design for the Brown statue, which will be bigger than life size. “The artist is ready to proceed with preliminary work, which is required before a statue is sent to a foundry for completion,” Flynn explained. “This is why the $12,500 was requested.” Coun. Theresa Fritz inquired about the proposed timeline for the project.
Flynn noted the Roy Brown Society would like to have it in place by 2019, which happens to be the 200th anniversary of Carleton Place. Fritz also asked about project costs. “The statue itself is approximately $100,000,” Flynn announced. “On top of that, there will be landscaping and other charges.” “I seem to recall an earlier presentation and the numbers were around $200,000, once you added everything in,” Mayor Louis Antonakos said. “Is that the budgeted amount?” “That would be the total,” Flynn answered, however, “we will do whatever is possible to keep the cost as low as possible.” “Jerry, because we do not have the exact costs right now, $100,000 to $200,000 is a fairly large variance, do we have any flexibility here regarding the statue’s design?” Antonakos asked. “If we do not have the full $200,000, either donations do not come in or we do not fund it from tax dollars ... is there any flexibility to keep the dollars within the $100,000?” the mayor continued. Flynn noted, “There has been a lot of investigation as far as the

The Roy Brown Society in Carleton Place is working on the establishment of a statue of Capt. Arthur Roy Brown. statue itself goes and $100,000 is a pretty hard number.” He added, “There is a $100,000 grant from Heritage Canada that Todd has given us a good chance of receiving, and other monies will come from donations.” Roy Brown Society president and co-founder Rob Probert told this newspaper: “The statue will not be contracted until
all necessary fundraising is in place. There are other potential government grants, corporate foundations and interested private individuals — all of whom will be lobbied.” Some residents in council chambers on Tuesday questioned the statue’s proposed cost, including Dale Moulton. “This is a fair amount of money, and there are other things the money could go for,” he said. Boyce has agreed to come to a future council meeting to provide an update on the statue project, “alleviating any misconceptions that anyone may have,” Flynn said. “At no point did council commit future funding to this project,” Redmond stressed in an email to this newspaper. Carleton Place has done much to honour Brown by establishing the Roy Brown Society, a mural, Captain A. Roy Brown Boulevard, Roy Brown Park, memorial plaque, books, dinners and more. “I think a statue of Roy Brown is long overdue in the community ... we have been slow on the uptake to honour a native son worthy of recognition,” Fritz said. However, she does not plan to
support any further town funding for a monument. After retiring from the Royal Air Force in 1919, Brown worked as an accountant and founded a small airline, and he was the editor of Canadian Aviation for a little bit. Brown moved to WhitchurchStouffville in 1939, purchasing a farm. Sadly, he died five years later, at age 50, leaving behind a wife and three children. Today, Roy Brown Farm is part of the Rolling Hills Golf Club. In 2015, Brown was inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame on June 4, during a ceremony at the Skyservice Business Aviation Hangar at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. A delegation from Carleton Place attended, including Probert, Antonakos and Flynn. Even though the motion to reallocate the balance of the town’s mural fund to get the statue project off the ground was carried, it
was a 4-1 vote, with Antonakos as the sole “nay.” Coun. Brian Doucett was absent with regrets. Coun. Doug Black, the committee chair, does not vote. “The Roy Brown Society has not asked the town to fund the project, but it was very pleased to see the $12,500 commemorative grant set aside and pledged toward the project,” Probert stated. “We see this as a strong measure of support at this preliminary stage.” He noted the bronze statue will be seven feet, with Brown in proper military uniform, and it will feature a large granite stone backdrop and a bronze propeller. These renderings will be made public when completed. “The monument will be dedicated to the First World War aviators from Carleton Place, and it is intended to educate visitors on their impact in shaping the future of the Canadian Air Force,” Probert explained.

Donor recognition Earlier on May 6 of this year, the Riverwalk advisory committee unveiled a donor plaque on the walkway near Almonte Old Town Hall in recognition of those who helped make phase one a reality. In a presentation at the event, Gillis noted phase one was completed in four parts: the lookout at the Victorian Woolen Mill in 2002, bridges in 2005, the downtown path in 2010 and the extension to Metcalfe Park in 2010 and 2014. Once the Riverwalk was officially declared open on June 28, 2010, the advisory committee went dormant and was reactivated in 2015 to discuss phase two opportunities and maintenance for the existing pathway. Members include: Gillis as chair, Coun. Paul Watters, Mayor Shaun McLaughlin, Michael Rikley-Lancaster, Nancy Scott, Eric Shultz, LeaAnne Solomonian, Joy Stratford, Mississippi Mills staff members Diane Smithson, Stephen Stirling and Tiffany MacLaren, as well with support from Mike Dupuis and Kathy Tasse.

Fourth annual Mississippi Mills River Walk and Run helps grow women’s health The fourth annual Mississippi Mills River Walk and Run sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart Almonte took place Saturday, Sept. 9 on the grounds of the Almonte General Hospital (AGH) and Fairview Manor, resulting in approximately $18,000 being raised in support of AGH’s Birthing Centre and women’s health care. More than 300 walkers, runners, sponsors and volunteers took part in the fundraiser which featured a 3-km family walk, and 3, 5 and 10 km timed walk/runs. Local Shoppers Drug Mart owner and pharmacist Rina Houri was thrilled with this year’s results. “Shoppers Drug Mart is dedicated to caring for the health and well-being of our employees, patients and customers, as well as the communities in which they live and work,” said Houri. “With AGH’s birthing unit not only serving Mississippi Mills but also families up and down the Ottawa Valley, we are so proud to support it. Families from up around Pembroke, through Renfrew and Arnprior, and down to Carleton Place, Carp Kanata and Stittsville, are now having their children at AGH.” “These funds will help us pay for the two new digital ultrasound machines the hospital purchased last year,” said hospital president and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “Ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool for our physi-
cians in so many areas including obstetrics, gynecology, emergency, and family medicine. Hundreds of our patients are benefiting from this new equipment every month. Having added a second ultrasound machine also means our patients are not waiting as long for their examinations, which often means less anxiety too.” Prizes were awarded to the topthree male and female finishers in all timed events and to the top fundraiser and top fundraising team. Official times for participants are available at www.runninggoattiming.com. All prize recipients, race winners and event photos will be posted at www. almontehospitalfoundation.com by 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 11. As well as Shoppers Drug Mart Amonte, sponsors contributing to the success of the event included Bean Chev Olds, C.R. Gamble Funeral Home and Chapel, Art and Helen Levi, Levi Home Hardware, Priority Patient Transfer, Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer, Orchard View by the Mississippi, Coady’s Car Care, L.G., Lee & Sons, Almonte Civitan Club, Absolute Massage Therapy, Cliff Bar, the Running Room and Ryno Motors. The AGH FVM Foundation is currently raising $4 million through its Put Yourself in the Picture campaign to cover the cost of having replaced all of the diagnostic imaging equipment
at the hospital and to acquire a C/T scan. The hospital counts 100 per cent on funds raised from the community through the foundation to purchase new and replacement equipment.

Carleton Place sees 1.8 per cent hike in 2018 water and sewer rates BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Next year Carleton Place residents will swallow a 1.8 per cent increase in water and sewer rates. The municipality presented its proposed 2018 water and sewer budget to council members on Sept. 5, during the physical environment meeting. Treasurer Phil Hogan explained a Carleton Place household with one to two people would see a bill of $872.33 for the year, which represents a $15.42 hike. Owing to quarterly billings, the increase amounts to $3.86. A home with three to five people would pay $916.35 in 2018. The increase of $16.20 works out to $4.05 per invoice. The increase funds the capital requirement and inflationary increases for operating and maintenance costs at the water and sewage plants – for example. Billings done in January will reflect the new rates. Carleton Place is one of 86 municipalities in Ontario servicing a population of more than 10,000, and its system contains two components: underground and above ground. “The average age of the underground pipe is just under 25 (24.97) years,” Hogan explained, and “this is quite good for the town ... we are in pretty good shape.” Much work was completed on the town’s underground infrastructure in the 1980s, he continued, with upgrades occurring every decade since then. “There are very few kilometres of pipe in the ground older than 1960,” Hogan said.
The underground parts of the system are valued at approximately $80 million, and the above ground, which includes the water and sewage plants and water tower are probably in the $60 million to $70 million range. In 2014 the town’s water tower was completely refurbished. The sewage plant was built in 1992, and the water plant was upgraded nearly 15 years ago. There are two non-growth related water and sewer projects that will need to be addressed in the future. At an estimated cost of $890,000, the pumping station on Industrial Avenue must be rehabilitated (in 2021) to service the expansion of the North Industrial Park on Bates Avenue as well as a planned residential development on Lanark and Carleton streets. Moreover, the sewage plant must be upgraded to provide tertiary treatment in 2028. The project expense is $2.8 million. In terms of growth, it is paid for by the homes being built in Carleton Place. “For every new home built we collect a fee that is put into a reserve,” Hogan said. Going forward, there are a number of growth-related projects. An extension of the DAF forcemain in 2021 is priced at $1.9 million. As a result, this forcemain will go directly from the water plant to the sewage plant. Other projects include expansions of the water reservoir at a cost of $3.85 million in 2025 and the sewage plant in 2027 at $11 million. “We are looking at water plant and more reservoir expansions in 2035 for $8.25 million,” Hogan said. “All these growth-related

projects add up to $25 million,” he added, “and the plan is the development will pay for these items.” The operational side of next year’s water and sewer budget is in excess of $4 million. It encompasses sewage plant operations (Ontario Clean Water Agency contract), various debt payments, water plant operations (Ontario Clean Water Agency contract), water and sewer operations (town costs), administration and more. Some of the capital projects for 2018 are as follows: McArthur Island watermain, $756,000 (funded by developer and growth reserve); Charles Street pumping station, $150,000; Bridge Street pumping station, $150,000; Nelson Street work, $150,000; and sewage treatment plant maintenance, $380,000. “We have projects going out to 2025,” Hogan said. “There is no end.” The 2018 water and sewer budget for Carleton Place is Hogan’s 28th, with rates based on sound policies and principles. With retirement on the horizon, “this likely will be Phil’s last water and sewer budget,” mayor Louis Antonakos said. “Kudos to Phil and the public works staff for having a tight system, for bringing forward a budget that is pretty compelling,” he added. The mayor noted many municipalities comparable to Carleton Place are facing water and sewage budget increases around 10 per cent. Hogan will present next year’s sewer and water budget to the public at the upcoming corporate services committee meeting.

Mississippi Mills now accepting nominations for second Longstanding Business Appreciation Night In celebration of national Small Business Week, our community will recognize local small business owners who have achieved 25, 35, 50, and 65+ years in business in our municipality. Mississippi Mills is a thriving community of small business people and family-run businesses. These entrepreneurs are the engine of our local economy and we want to show them they're appreciated. In 2016, council, with help from the Community & Economic Development Committee (C&EDC), launched an appreciation night to recognize those across Mississippi Mills that have reached the following milestones: 25, 35, 50, and 65+ years in business. We are doing it again in 2017. The event begins at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Old Town Hall on Oct. 18. C&EDC would like the community's help. Do you know of a local businessperson who meets the milestones? Please email your suggestions and the following business details before Sept. 30, to Bonnie at bostrom@mississippimills.ca — name of business, name of own-

establishments (which may have been owned by a succession of owners). Mississippi Mills has many seasoned business owners. Event organizers realize it is impossible to celebrate them all in one event. For this reason, the committee keeps a list of names and will honour a maximum of 35-45 each year. Last year’s event was wonderful and this
year’s will be the same. In 2016, a total of 28 businesses were recognized for 25 to 34 years in business, 35 to 49 years, 50 to 64 years, and 65+ years. There were some nominees in 2016 who were not able to attend the ceremony. Those individuals will be invited again for the 2017 event. Submitted by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills

Selfish play costs Canadians win against Kemptville, says coach The Carleton Place Canadians had a two-goal lead on the road against the Kemptville 73’s on Sunday, but ended up coughing the lead away in the second period as part of a 4-3 loss to Kemptville. Ask Canadians coach Jason Clarke what transpired in a stretch of 1:08 during the second period and the answer was simple to point out. “Guys just not bearing down. After the two-goal lead, we were kind dominating the play for a while, guys let off the gas and just did whatever they wanted. Odd-man rushes, pinches, the third goal was scored just after a power play. Our first power play unit took a minute-and-45-second shift – I mean, just selfish. A lot of selfish guys on the ice [Sunday], that’s what happens,” he responded. Carleton Place scored the first goal of the game, but it took until the last three minutes of the first period for Geoff Kitt to deposit a rebound into an open net behind Kemptville’s Peter Brooks. “I thought we started a little flatfooted, weren’t ready for this game and weren’t moving our feet a lot,” Canadians assistant captain Tim Theocharidis said. “We weren’t trying to make the simple plays … we had to just get back to playing our game, our systems, keep

The Carleton Place Jr A Canadians opened the 2017-2018 regular season at home Sept. 8, before a crowd of 423 at the Neelin Street Community Centre. Fans watched the Canadians trounce the Ottawa Jr Senators, 7-3. Above, Canadians right winger Jack Clark tries to tame the puck as Jr Senators defenceman Craig McCabe (18) and centre Elie Boulerice prepare to charge in. moving our feet, make the simple plays cause for performances like this early and use the glass if we had to.” in a season, but Clarke says that isn’t an Sometimes inexperience can be the excuse for a Carleton Place team that
brought back 13 players from last season. “I would cause that on lack of leadership, obviously our team wasn’t ready to play.” Travis Broughman scored 0:09 into the second period and, after that goal, troubles started to set in for the Canadians. Liam Hunter cut the lead in half as he was left alone in the slot and a bouncing puck came to him for a wrist shot that beat Michael Leach. Just more than a minute later, Eric Conley took advantage of a Carleton Place turnover at the Kemptville blue-line and, after getting stopped by Leach on a breakaway in the first period, the 73’s forward made no mistake on his second try. “We sort of just broke down and weren’t making the easy plays we had to,” Theocharidis said of the stretch where the Carleton Place lead disappeared. “We were trying to do too much with the puck and not using our team.” Carleton Place had a power play late in the second period, but a long shift from the forward trio cost the Canadians. As they tiredly tried to get off the ice after staying out for the whole twominute advantage, Clarke kept them on the ice and it led to a puck deflecting off Neal Samanski and into the net. Peyton Francis tipped in the waist-
high point shot from Jake Meikle to tie the game heading into the third period, but Carleton Place couldn’t generate any momentum from the goal. Jacob Thousand scored the gamewinner nine minutes into the final frame, beating Leach over the shoulder from a sharp angle for a power-play goal. Theocharidis said Leach was the reason the game was close, and Clarke gave praise to his goaltender for his performance in the first two periods but voiced displeasure in the final goal. “That last goal killed us. It was a bad angle shot, he’s got to have that,” he said. “Can’t have a bad goal like that in a tight game like that, in a 3-3 game, he’s got to be better than he was.” For the overall game, Clarke said it was disappointing to see how the team played, especially after the performance on Friday in the team’s 7-3 win against the Ottawa Jr Senators. He said that he’ll look to address that with hard work in practice before the team returns to game action on Thursday against the Kanata Lasers on the road. “To me, you play the way you practice. So, if we’re going to get back to our standard, we’re going to practice the way we need to practice in order for us to bounce back on Thursday.” Submitted by Daniel Vazzoler, Carleton Place Canadians
Fostering a Safe & Healthy Workplace In hospitals, long-term care homes and paramedic services, ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for the staff, physicians and volunteers is as important as the safe high quality care that is provided to patients and residents. Through their Mississippi River Health Alliance relationship, Almonte General Hospital and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital are working together to provide a safe workplace in the Hospitals, Fairview Manor and Lanark County Paramedic Service. Dawn Shorten assumed the role of Integrated Director of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in April. With 20 years of experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge to the job. Occupational Health and Safety is about fostering a safe and healthy work environment. “I’ve always been interested in this topic and what we can do to be supportive. It is important to create an environment where people want to work,” notes Dawn.
In her role, Dawn is responsible for ensuring that both organizations are in compliance with the Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act. The goal is to prevent the exposure of employees to potential health and/or safety hazards that could result in occupational illness or injury. “I have two main roles,” explains Dawn. “The first is to monitor and ensure that all of the Act’s requirements are met to help prevent people getting hurt or sick at work. My second role focuses on case management and supporting staff who are off work or sick for other reasons. We want to ensure that they have the support and resources they need to get back to work.” Dawn works closely with the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees in both organizations, which are comprised of worker and staff representatives. To help keep staff safe, extensive training is provided to support them. Online and in-person courses are

provided about topics such as personal protective equipment, workplace violence and falls prevention. Staff who work with patients and residents also learn about techniques such as gentle persuasion. Staff at both AGH and CPDMH benefit from the new integrated role. Planning and programs are being aligned, bringing together the best practices from both sites and addressing any opportunities for improvement. Staff who work at both sites benefit from the consistency of having the same rules and practices in each location. “There is a lot of staff satisfaction when you see programs working and people aren’t getting hurt. If you create a work environment where an employee knows you are looking after their best interest, that fosters trust,” sums up Dawn. “Everyone has a lot going on and when I can help an employee be successful, that is a great day for me!”

Almonte Soccer Club celebrates 50 years of soccer Sept. 23 When Jim Blair and George Nightingale got together during Canada’s centennial year to form the Almonte Soccer Club, it’s not likely they were thinking ahead to imagine the club’s 50th anniversary, but here we are, marking not only Canada’s 150th birthday, but the club's 50th. Even that milestone is a small one when you consider that in 1901, the Ottawa Journal reported on a game of “Association Football” played between Almonte District High School and Carleton Place High School (it was close, but Almonte won that one 1-0). Building on the school program restarted in the 1960s, the club started with two teams playing in the Canadian Schoolboy Soccer Association, to where we now offer grassroots soccer to males and females aged three through to 70-and-beyond.
Visit our website to learn more about the history of soccer in Almonte. In celebration of the hundreds of players, the volunteers and all the history of Almonte Soccer Club (ASC), a daylong event will be held on Sept. 23. This fun-filled day is open to all, offering friendly competitions, scrimmages, tricks, games, an ASC alumni tent and a visit from Josée Bélanger, a member of the 2016 Olympic bronze medal-winning Canadian National Women’s Soccer Team. Of course, we’ll also offer a barbecue, beer tent and live entertainment together with the chance to catch up with old soccer buddies, relive that great save (or spectacular dive) and check out our ASC history display. So that we can make plans, we ask that you please preregister. Of course, if you want to just
stop by the Almonte Civitan fields on Wolfgrove Road between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and take your chances on Sept. 23, that’s OK too. Please mark Saturday, Sept. 23 on your calendar and come out with your cleats on, your old ASC jersey if you have one, stories of that fantastic goal (or save) and help us celebrate 50 years of fun and fitness with club. Then, on the following day (Sunday, Sept. 24) please participate in ASC Day at the Ottawa Fury game. Details are available on our website or Facebook page. Please visit www.almontesoccer.com or email cana d a 1 5 0 @ a l m o n t e s o c c e r. com for more information on the club or 150th anniversary event or to find the registration form.

The home opener for the 2017-2018 season for the Carleton Place Canadians was Sept. 8 at the Neelin Street Community Centre. Before visitors watched the Canadians trounce the Ottawa Jr Senators in a 7-3 decision, they enjoyed sausages, hamburgers and pulled pork during a pre-game barbecue in support of Jumpstart. The grill was manned by the Beckwith Butcher. Above, members of the inaugural Carleton Place Canadians Jr B hockey team who helped out during the event.
