Community – Lest we forget: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we will remember them. This year, Remembrance Day falls on Tuesday, Nov. 11 and there are a num-

ber of services planned in both Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills to remember the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. In Carleton Place, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 will conduct the ceremony at the Carleton Place Cenotaph at Memorial Park, located on Franklin

Street in front of the Carleton Place Public Library. Veterans, Legion members and members of other service organizations will be parading from the Carleton Place Town Hall to the cenotaph starting at 10:35 a.m., and will march down Bridge See REMEMBER page A/CP2

News – Residents of Mississippi Mills packed council chambers on Oct. 28 for a special council meeting to discuss repealing the bylaw freezing construction downtown. For the second week in a row it was not to be. To discuss the issue, a reconsideration motion needed to be passed by council first. Coun. John Edwards spoke in favour of the reconsideration motion and said it was important because of two new pieces of information. “I think most of us are aware what was circulated informally at the last meeting is up on screen now (photos of a smaller heritage conservation district),” said Edwards. “What is in green is what the consultants have recommended to the working committee to be the ultimate heritage district.” The map was considered informal information as it will go to the town’s heritage committee Nov. 18 for input and then come to council Nov. 24. “It has not been in front of us formally but you all saw it and know that the district recommended is considerably smaller than the original study area,” Edwards commented. The second piece of information is the public meeting held where councillors received input from the homeowners. “There was considerable concern

that they were not notified and concerns about impact on their properties,” said Edwards. Coun. Paul Watters was also in favour of reconsidering the motion. “We brought these people here a week ago and I think they deserve to hear us today,” said Watters. “Last thing I would like to hear is that we shove this off again. I think the people deserve to hear everybody around the table. I think we should open it up.” The motion was defeated in a recorded 4-4 vote not to reconsider the bylaw. Voting in favour of reconsideration were: Mayor John Levi, Edwards, Watters and Denzil Ferguson; voting against the motion were: Duncan Abbott, Shaun McLaughlin, Bernard Cameron and Val Wilkinson. “I apologize to the people here that you are not going to hear this being discussed tonight,” said Levi to the crowd who was starting to leave after the vote. “It’s a shame in my opinion.” After the meeting Abbott explained council could not amend the bylaw to match the map. “It was all or nothing. That was the information from the chief administrator’s office,” said Abbott. “We either had to defeat the whole matter or adopt the whole matter so there was no in between. This isn’t an Enerdu vote for me. I don’t even think this bylaw will slow Enerdu up.”
