Investigation continues into bomb threat at CP hospital BY STAFF
OPP continue to investigate a confirmed bomb threat that closed down the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) on the morning of May 8. Police responded to the call at the hospital, located at 211 Lake Ave. E., which came in at 6:48 a.m. on May 8. Officers from the Lanark County OPP detachment and the emergency response team were on scene, blocking all exits to the hospital with patrol cars. “The hospital was secured and the scene contained until 12:21 p.m. that day,” noted a press release from the OPP. The hospital confirmed in its own statement that regular services resumed
just after noon. “We want to thank the OPP and emergency services personnel for their excellent response to this incident,” stated CPDMH president and CEO, Mary Wilson Trider. “We also want to thank our staff for their commitment to caring for our patients.” While police investigated, patients and staff on duty were not evacuated. However, employees arriving for work on Monday were not allowed into the building and asked to go to the nearby Carleton Place arena on standby. OPP continue to investigate the situation and anyone with information should call the Lanark County detachment at 1-800-310-1122 or the Lanark County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Spare bedrooms needed for visiting actors, summer jobs for teenagers As the Classic Theatre Festival gears up for its eighth summer season — following its award-winning season in 2016 — it is offering students aged 16-29 a number of paid summer positions, while volunteers are also being sought to both work at the theatre and also hosting visiting performers. Summer jobs Among the job openings for students this summer is a production assistant who will work with the production manager and stage manager to assist in such tasks as setting up playing area during rehearsals and at every performance, assisting actors backstage, organizing and maintaining costumes during rehearsal and performances, cleaning and maintenance of rehearsal space and sections of performance space as needed, organizing backstage area, including props, assisting the stage manager during rehearsals and performances, and also performing front-of-house duties. Another job requires someone interested in assisting with venue setup, set construction and technical equipment setup, troubleshooting technical issues during performance runs, assisting with changeovers from one show to the next, and assisting the stage manager with technical requirements. May 15 is the deadline to receive applications and resumés at info@ classictheatre.ca. Volunteers/hosts While ushers and front-of-house volunteers are welcome to join a team that has garnered top marks in the OHvation customer service ranking, the festival is also looking for anyone with a spare bedroom and kitchen and washroom access to host one of the visiting professional actors with the Classic Theatre Festival. Currently, the festival has two actors who will be arriving in Perth for one sixweek period, August 1 to September 10. The festival is hoping individuals or families with spare bedrooms and access to a kitchen and washroom are

In return, host individuals and families receive free passes to the festival all summer long as well as exclusive invites to special festival social events. If billets are only available for a three-week term, that could work too. In addition, a number of designers will require shorter, 14-day stays in July and August. For Perth resident Helen Gamble, 2017 marks the 7th consecutive year she has hosted a performer. “I've billeted at least one actress each year of the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth,” Gamble said. “At first I wondered how it would work out and whether my guest room was adequate. It’s been a wonderful experience. I meet interesting, artistic people who are passionate about what they do. They are gone most of the day into the evening, busy with their work schedules. It's fun to have someone coming and going, a bit of company, but someone I don't have to entertain.”

Great Veggie Grow-Off launches another year of feeding county food banks BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Lanark County gardeners, listen up! It’s time to plant a few extra rows of fruits and veggies this year to benefit local food banks through The Great Veggie Grow-Off. The fourth annual initiative to support Lanark County food banks was officially launched May 1 at the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre (MMYC) in Almonte. The friendly challenge encourages gardeners to grow extra fruit and produce and bring it to their local food bank where it will be weighed and added to their community’s tally. The official results and bragging rights for the winning community are announced each Thanksgiving. According to grow-off founder Jeff Mills, this is the second year the challenge has been issued to all food banks in Lanark County, including the Lanark County Food Bank – The Hunger Stop in Carleton Place, Lanark Highlands Food Pantry, The Table Community Food Centre in Perth and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. For its first two years, the event raised funds for The Hunger Stop, which serves the communities of Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith. “So, last year we grew in Lanark County, over five tons of food…health, good, local food for people that need it,” he explained. Each year, The Great Veggie Grow-Off is launched on May 1, International Workers’ Day, “to pay homage to the farmers who feed us,” Mills noted. It was held at the youth centre to showcase the five new gardening beds created by Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens volunteers in the centre’s parking lot. “Isn’t that a wonderful thing to do to a parking lot?” remarked Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin. New MMYC manager Janet Morrison said the gardens will create some interesting opportunities for youth, including giving back to their
community. “They’ll be able to grow things here, maybe produce a few of their own snacks here and maybe grow a few things for other people,” she stated. “I think that’s a huge part about what we’re trying to do here and that’s get the youth engaged in their own community.” McLaughlin said it is initiatives like the gardening beds that foster a green thumb. “Somebody gave me some beans when I was about eight-years-old to plant and I’ve been a gardener ever since simply because I was amazed at what these little beans could do. You’re growing gardeners out there.” As is tradition, he also brought along with him some veggies, including carrots and two kinds of potatoes, to give Mississippi Mills an early edge in the competition. They have won the trophy for the past three years in a row, bringing in 3,385 of the total 10,109 pounds grown in the county last year. A group of 15 gardeners known as the Hoop House, donated 1,000 pounds alone in Mississippi Mills. “I actually put extra beds in for this endeavor and because I like to win too,” McLaughlin joked. “I had so much last year and couldn’t store it indoors, so I just dug a big hole in the garden and put a bunch of feed bags in there, covered it up with soil and hay and just dug it up two weeks ago. This is a sample of some of it. This was harvested last fall and tastes like it was just picked.” Mills indicated feedback from food bank clients has been positive with many relaying how important having fresh food is to them. “What’s so cool about it (The Great Veggie Grow-Off) is that it spurred people on to garden,” he said. “It’s that altruistic aspect of it where people say, ‘I’m going to grow an extra row or two for people in need,’ and it really took off.” That was seconded by The Hunger Stop’s Karen Lomas, who said the food bank’s community garden boxes have also been well-received since introducing them last year and cli-
ents have offered feedback on what they’d like to see this year. Topping the list are strawberries and potatoes. “Our clients love it so much having the fresh vegetables and fresh fruit. They get excited when they know it’s coming,” she said. “It’s a wonderful, wonderful initiative,” Lomas added. “It’s been great and I’m so glad the whole county’s involved because it’s something we all win at.” Gardening expert Ed Lawrence provided some food for thought as the gardening season
gets underway. “Put kids’ hands in the soil when they’re young, they’ll grow all their life,” he commented. “Shaun (McLaughlin) is living proof; I’m living proof and we grow. Get growing!” Mills hopes people would spread the word about The Great Veggie Grow-Off so the total food grown could reach a goal of 10 tons this year. The final weigh-in, at a location yet to be determined, will take place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, which serves as United Nations World Food Day.

Kind heart of Michaelis is recalled by those close to her at Metroland Media
SMITHS FALLS NISSAN
STAFF
It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Judy Ann Michaelis on Saturday, May 6 in her 54th year. Judy died suddenly at the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. A long-time employee of Performance Printing/EMC (Metroland Media), Judy Adams remembers her colleague as a thoughtful and kind woman who would have done anything for anyone. “I have worked with Judy for almost 31 years. Judy was a very thoughtful, kind woman would have done anything she could for the people she cared about. Her family and friends meant the world to her. She will be missed,” Adams said. Joyce Coutts also remembers Judy with fondness. “A couple of things I admired most about Judy were how highly she respected family values and always put everyone else’s needs ahead of her own. She was one of the most generous, kindhearted people I’ve known.” From Cheryl Code, who had the seat next to Judy for the past five years at the office, remembers her friend: “Our working quarters were very small so there were no secrets between us. Judy was always a good listener and never held back what she would think. Judy’s family was always her number one concern, then her friends and lastly herself. I have some very big shoes to fill but I was trained by the best – Judy. All her customers she served over the years, especially the local funeral homes, auctioneers and returning customers that she served each and every year, will dearly miss her. I may have lost a co-worker but gained a guardian angel.” She was the devoted mother of Benjamin George Fraser and Lucas Grant Fraser. Judy was the daughter of Dorothy Irene Michaelis and the late Wallace George “Butch” Michaelis. She was the sister and best friend of Linda Lee Bernicky (Ron) and Robert Ronald (Sherry); and loving aunt to Michael Michaelis, Megan Michaelis, Luke Bernicky and Matt Bernicky. “I have had the privilege of working with Judy for many years in the classified department,” said Lee Ann Gilligan. “We shared many laughs and tears, inside jokes and stories, but most importantly… friendship. She had such a big and kind heart for her family and friends and it is an honour to be able to call her my friend. You will be missed dearly Judy, may you

Judy Michaelis now be at peace.” She is survived by her aunt, Barbara Ann Buchanan. Judy loved her church, St. Bede’s Anglican Church in Nolan’s Corners, and her church family. “If we are really lucky, we are gifted with a friend who takes up residence in our heart, someone unexpected who slowly grows on you, your friendship deepens and one day you realize you truly love them. Judy was like that,” remembers Cheryl Johnston. “A tough nut to crack but so worth the effort and she returned your friendship and love fiercely. I’ll never eat a chocolate again without thinking about her and laughing!” There will be a service at her church on Saturday to celebrate her life on May 13 at 11 a.m. followed by a celebration of life at Montague Centennial Hall, Rosedale Road South, from noon to 4 p.m. As expressions of sympathy, donations to St. Bede’s would be great appreciated by the family. “Having known Judy for 16 years, only a small portion of her time with the company, she was someone I had the privilege of corresponding with almost daily,” said Marla Dowdall, colleague. “Judy will be missed very much. She was well known and loved amongst her Metroland family.” Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls. Online condolences are available at www.lannin.ca

Since 1932, Gemmell’s has had a passion for growing locally; they simply love plants. Rob Gemmell’s grandfather Donald began this horticultural adventure with a small roadside stand where he sold flowers, fruit and vegetables. Now 85 years later Gemmell’s Garden Centre stands on 14 acres with 24 greenhouses, a proud achievement.

The garden centre is renowned for selling unique and beautiful plants to the gardeners of Eastern Ontario. They are famous for their beautifully custom designed Victorian hanging baskets and planters as well as always growing the latest and greatest introductions; they have the esteemed pleasure of custom growing flowers for several local townships including in 2017 the Town of Smiths Falls, Town of Brockville, Athens Blooms, Village of Westport, the U.S. Embassy and many other independent businesses. Always being ahead of the trends has always been their strong point. Following the lead from their European counterparts, this season Gemmell’s Garden Centre has expanded once more with a Fashion store that includes beautiful cotton, bamboo and linens from India as well as a funky collection of beautifully printed fair trade dresses and tops from Nepal, handmade jewellery from Bali, printed floral scarves and more. The extensive amount of work and organization it takes to grow and operate a greenhouse of this size requires a lot of hardworking and dedicated people. Gemmell’s would not be what it is today without their wonderful staff that truly is the backbone of this business. In their 85th year Gemmell’s would like to thank all their wonderful customers for their support and encouragement over the years. Come celebrate Moms with us this weekend! There will be lots of beautiful flowers, hanging baskets, garden giftware, fashion, jewelry and more.

McHappy smiles worth $28,650 after fundraising day Wednesday, May 3 BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
There were smiles all around on Wednesday, May 3, as local McDonald’s restaurants hosted their annual McHappy Day funding campaign. Tim and Lorraine Carter, owners of the restaurants in Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Perth and Kemptville, say they had an outstanding day. “We raised $28,650,” said Tim Carter. “That is a new record. The managers and the crew worked really hard.” The funds have been raised for the Ottawa Ronald McDonald House and two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms located at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). They sold Ronald McDonald socks and gave away coupons for a free coffee with every $2 donation.
Carter added that it couldn’t have been as successful as it was without the participation of everyone who purchased specific food items during the course of the day. “And we had a lot of celebrity guests,” he said, which included town councillors and staff, police officers, the fire chief, doctors, lawyers, and even a special young boy who has stayed at Ronald McDonald House in Toronto. “Kael Morrison was out having a good time,” Carter said. “He was running the show.” At the age of five, Kael — who is now 10 — was diagnosed with STAT 1 mutation, a rare immune deficiency disorder. Doctors decided a bone-marrow transplant was his best chance of survival, and he was lucky enough to have a family member who was a match: his younger brother
Eamon. Kael’s road to recovery was a long one, and included six months spent in isolation to minimize the risk of infection. While he is still being closely monitored by the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Sick Kids in Toronto, he and his family are from Toledo, Ohio. Last summer, Kael was the recipient of a new play structure, which he said he was still enjoying; that was thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. During Wednesday’s McHappy Day, it was noticed that Kael’s hair has become quite long. “He’s growing it for cancer,” said Beth Sinclair, who is a good friend of the Morrison family. “He’s a pretty special little boy, and for him to grow his hair and cut it for kids with cancer shows his caring character.”
On McHappy Day, more than 1,400 McDonald's restaurants participated in the national fundraising initiative by donating $1 for every Big Mac, Happy Meal, and McCafé beverage and hot drink sold. This, along with each community’s generous support, will help over 30,000 Canadian families every year stay at Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada while their children are being treated at nearby hospitals. Nationally More than $5.6 was million raised to support families of sick children across Canada and local children’s charities this year. This year marked 40 years of spreading hope and love to Canadian families across the country. Including funds raised from Wednesday’s McHappy Day event,

McDonald’s Canada and its franchisees have raised more than $10.8 million in the past year for Ronald McDonald Houses and other local children’s charities, supporting over 30,000 families at 15 Ronald McDonald Houses and 16 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in over 440 communities across Canada. “With the wrap of another successful McHappy Day, Canadian families have another reason to smile,” said Cathy Loblaw, President and CEO, RMHC® Canada. “The tremendous outpouring of support from Canadians is simply heart-warming. On behalf of the 30,000 families who stay at Ronald McDonald Houses every year, thank you!” With files from the Record News archives and McDonald’s Canada

COMMENTARY
Look west Wynne - then seek exit? What does Premier Kathleen Wynne have in common with British Columbia Premier Christie Clark? Aside from the fact they are both Liberals, both premiers, and both women, they also have a few other things in common - and it ain’t pretty. The B.C. Liberals have been in office since 2001, the Ontario Liberals since 2003. Clark took over from the increasingly unpopular Gordon Campbell, and Wynne took over from Dalton McGuinty. Enough said. Also, Clark became premier in her own right in 2013, winning an unexpected election against an opposition leader who entered a race he couldn’t possibly lose...and then, he proceeded to do just that. Back east here in Ontario, Wynne did the same thing, becoming premier in her own right in 2014, defeating Tim Hudak, who entered an election race far ahead in the polls, and well, we all know how that turned out. As we write this late on May 9, we do not know BC election results. But the last polls
crunched by the CBC’s Eric Grenier show it to be a dead-heat, 39.9 per cent for the BC NDP, 39.4 per cent for the Liberals. By his count, that would give a projected seat count of 45 Liberals, 40 New Democrats and two Greens. When the election began, there the NDP was way ahead...just like in 2013. But here in Ontario, it’s not looking good for Wynne. A Forum poll for the Toronto Sun has found that, as of March, the Progressive Conservatives are at 43 per cent, the NDP at 28 per cent, and the Liberals in third at 19 per cent. That would mean 86 Tory seats, 29 NDP seats - and seven for the Grits. Even if Clark’s Liberals don’t win, they have a good base to rebound, if these numbers hold. As for the Ontario Liberals, there are already rumblings of dumping Wynne. There’s no rebounding with these numbers, as Bob Rae discovered in 1995. We’re getting into 1993 federal Tory wipe-out territory here. Our advice is look west, Kathleen, then look back home...and then take a good, hard look in the mirror, and do what is right.
Two and Three Mile cousins knew how to cause a stir Getting invited to a birthday party didn’t happen very often. Birthdays, if celebrated at all, were left to the family. And if your birthday was close to Easter, or Christmas, like mine was, all you got was cake with well-used candles on it. There would be no money for even the simplest of presents. But Two-Mile-Herman’s home was different. There were 11 children in his family, some of them married and on farms of their own, and there was young Cora, who was my age, and when her birthday rolled around, those of us who were in her grade were simply invited by an older brother or sister at recess at the Northcote School. There was no such thing as
written invitations. And so, one Saturday, my brother Everett drove me over to the Barr Line in the buggy for Cora’s birthday party. The place was fair jumping by the time we got there. All Cora’s friends from school were there, as well as various cousins, including Three-Mile-Herman. Now, the two cousins didn’t always see eye-to-eye, and it was an everyday occurrence to see them come to blows behind the Northcote School over something as simple as failing to hit the ball, or make it to first base. Presents weren’t expected either. And if one was offered, it would be something simple like a little fancy hanky taken from
tin cans off the fence with their slingshots, or sitting on the pump platform playing marbles. Cora’s friends elected to stay inside, never taking our

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Reader: Roadside spraying could poison water DEAR EDITOR:
Why on God’s green earth is Lanark County so intent on poisoning our roadsides and potentially our water table and wells too? Sure, some weeds are noxious, but so are Truvist and Clearview, the toxic herbicides to be sprayed. They are designed to kill all broadleafed plants. Indeed, they have killed trees and crops.

a wooden spoon on the bottom of a tin pot, and the boys tore into the kitchen and with us girls circled the huge table that easily sat Two-MileHerman’s complete family. It was cake time, which to me was far more exciting than just sitting around doing nothing. Because inside the cake we knew there would be a few coins wrapped in wax paper, including a
whole dime. No one knew who would get the dime. It depended entirely on where Cora’s mother cut into the cake. I was told by Mother before I left home that if I was the lucky one, I was to hand the dime over to Cora, which I didn’t think the least bit fair. Well, I needn’t have worried, because Three-Mile-Herman got it, and that’s when the fight started. Two-Mile told his cousin to hand it over to his sister Cora, but Three-Mile already had
it in his pocket, and announced he’d be leaving because his Father would be waiting for him at the Northcote Side Road. Two-Mile threw himself at Three-Mile and they went rolling on the kitchen floor barely missing the cook stove. The rest of us sat around the kitchen table eating cake as if a free-for-all between the two cousins was an everyday occurrence, which it was. Cora’s mother simply went to the

flower buds are beginning to show (somewhere between end of June and beginning of July).” Truvist and Clearview are water-soluble and such herbicides are often laced with toxic solvents to increase plant absorption. We know that their spray can reach well beyond the intended targets and this can’t be good news for the health of Lanark’s highly vulnerable ground water or pollinator populations. Their labels both warn: “The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sandy soil) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.” So why the push for this last-resort method of eradication which is not even recommended? Why not properly-timed mowing? This just doesn’t make any sense, it is chemical warfare against much more than wild parsnip.
pump in the kitchen, pumped out a dipper of water, and threw it over the two boys, which brought the fight to a sudden halt. She just stood there with the dipper in her hand, and her arm stretched out. Three-Mile knew what she was after, and he pulled the wax paperwrapped dime from his pocket and handed it over, which was then handed over to Cora. Cora licked the cake off the wax paper, and tore upstairs with the dime to put it away for safekeeping. The party was over.

I talked it over with my sister Audrey, and we both decided celebrating birthdays at home with only the family was far better than getting all dressed up, just to come home with a butterscotch sucker!

Friends of the Tay Watershed announce awards for 2016 The four recipients of the Friends of the Tay Watershed 2016 Environmental Awards have been announced, representing a broad cross-section of this area’s dedicated environmental volunteers and organizations. The popular annual Kidfish program in Perth; the Lanark County Stewardship Council; the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust; and the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit/ Dr. Paula Stewart have all been recognized for their efforts. The recipient in the Contribution to the Tay Watershed category was Kidfish, represented by Dan and Karen Sisty along with Kathy and Lannie Lowry. At this popular event, held at Perth’s Tay Basin for the past 20 years, children take part in a catch-and-release fishing derby, which attracts over 300 youngsters with their families. Former police chief Dan Sisty and volunteer Kathy Lowry started and have organized the event — including the funding and prizes — for over 20 years. The Friends salute these Perth volunteers for drawing atten-
tion to the Tay, its value and fun, and introducing many children to a lifelong hobby that values clean water. In the second category — Contribution to Water Resources at the Provincial, National or International Level — the recipient was Lanark County Stewardship Council. This volunteer, communitybased organization co-operates with individuals and community groups committed to responsible environmental stewardship. The stewardship council provides a local, communityoriented organization linking landowners with information on best practices, expertise and modest resources for a range of grassroots environmental initiatives. They have also been leaders in the community on fish habitat creation and rehabilitation projects. A tie for the third award category — Contribution to the General Environment — is shared by Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust for their Wild Child Initiative and the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit/Dr. Paula Stewart
for the Nature for Life program. Both programs focus on connecting children with nature, building on recent evidence that children who spend time in nature are more likely to have environmental awareness and stewardship ethics. Other proven benefits include healthier social behaviour, increased self-esteem, and an ability to learn and concentrate. The children in our community are the future for the health of the Tay Watershed. The Friends of the Tay Watershed thank the winners for all they do to recognize the importance of our water resource, and what is required to build awareness and stewardship of our natural environment. The Friends of the Tay Watershed is a nonprofit charitable association founded in 2001 to deliver programs and activities, and co-operate with other organizations with complementary interests to ensure the health of the water and related natural resources of the Tay Watershed for present and future generations.

Newspaper columnist says Imperial War Museum is a London treasure I often receive inquiries from people who know about my longtime connection to the United Kingdom and hope to obtain some information prior to their own visit to the islands. Often the questions are about reasonable hotel accommodations, especially in always busy and expensive London, as well as any restaurant suggestions I might have. Many queries are about public transportation options which, in Great Britain, are multitude. Despite the fact the British Isles look rather small when viewed on the world map, when you are actually on the ground there it’s a very different story. The transportation network, especially the road system, is absolutely massive. Purchase a good UK map or road atlas and take a close look at the road and rail system in England for example. London, Britain’s wonderful capital isn’t easy to get around either. That’s why Kathleen and I usually opt for ‘The Tube’, the city’s extensive subway (Underground) system. At first glance, it looks complicated. But as I was able to demonstrate to our son Craig, when the two of us visited England last September, the Tube is quite easy to use and very efficient. I always tell people planning to visit the UK to study the transportation options carefully first. That can prevent a lot of headaches during a stay
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
in heavily populated, hectic places such as London. Many people are aware of my interest in war history and my support for veterans. Therefore I receive a lot of inquiries (by email or verbally) about the best places to visit in the UK relative to the world wars. Recently our travel agent called to say she was speaking to a client (he was sitting in her office at the time) who had questions about the Imperial War Museum (IWM) in London. Knowing Kathy and I have been there on several occasions she was confident I could provide some information. She relayed his questions and I did my best to answer them. For anyone who shares my interest in the world wars and British and Commonwealth military history in particular, there’s nowhere better than the Imperial War Museum, or more correctly “museums.” There are several IWM locations across the country dealing with various aspects of England’s military history. The gentleman in question was ask-
ing about the main IWM, located in the London Borough of Lambeth on the south side of the River Thames. Judging by the questions it was clear the war museum complex was going to be a major focus during his visit. A quite natural query was, “How long does it take to go through it?” Holocaust revealed My answer was easy. “At least two days — to do it properly,” I replied. IWM is vast and in order to see everything, multiple visits are required. The Holocaust Museum (within the IWM) is a sobering experience and it takes a considerable amount of time. I’ve visited an actual Nazis concentration camp on the continent. But for anyone seeking some education about what has to be the darkest chapter in human history, this is a place to start. I think it should be mandatory viewing for Holocaust deniers! During the telephone Q and A, I noted this is a particularly good time to visit IWM London. The world is marking the centennial of the First World War (1914-1918) and the museum’s impressive First World War galleries (a permanent display) are an ideal place to learn about the war through the eyes of English people and the then British Empire, including Canada and our country’s strong contribution to the war effort. Among the large number of displays we viewed at IWM London,
with reference to the First World War, there is a tiny portion that always comes to my mind. It doesn’t stand out particularly. But in one display case I noticed a handwritten letter beside several cartridge (rifle) casings. To paraphrase, the letter (it’s very legible) reads, “Cartridge cases recovered from the Vimy battlefield by my hand.” It is dated in July 1917 and appears over the handwritten signature “King George V.” The king visited Vimy Ridge, scene of the famous Canadian First World War victory and walked the battlefield during the summer of 1917. Of course, we just marked the centennial of the battle itself last month! Admission to the general displays at IWM London is free but there are always two or three special displays which require an admission fee. Since 2014, and the beginning of the centennial observances, some of those displays have related to the First World War. Perhaps the most impressive part of the museum is the sweeping, vaulted atrium (entrance hall) filled with artillery pieces, tanks and other historic military hardware, or equipment linked to particular wartime occurrences. Suspended from the towering roof are several actual First World War and Second World War aircraft. Among them is a Sopwith Camel, similar to
the aircraft flown by Carleton Place First World War ace Captain Arthur “Roy” Brown when he shot down Germany’s famous Baron Manfred von Richthofen (later nicknamed ‘The Red Baron’) on April 21, 1918 (the Australians also claim to have down the Baron from the ground that day). If only the Roy Brown Society here (I am a founding director) could acquire such an impressive artifact. IWM London is located in the former Bethlem Royal Hospital, a psychiatric facility nicknamed “Bedlam” which has an intriguing history itself. This is a momentous year for the museum which is marking its centenary in 2017. If you are interested in the wars and conflicts involving British and Commonwealth forces from the First World War to present, this is the museum for you. There is a separate gallery featuring Victoria Cross winners and that alone held my attention for a lengthy period. IWM London is a must see for anyone interested in war history. But give yourself lots of time. One morning or afternoon simply isn’t long enough. IWM is easily accessible via public transport including the London Tube and bus services.

Ontario Freemasons celebrate 300 years with open house events June 3 This year, Ontario’s Freemasons will join with those around the world to celebrate the formation of the first organized Masonic government at the Goose and Gridiron Tavern in St. Paul’s Churchyard, in London. To celebrate locally, all lodges, including in Smiths Falls, Perth, Lanark, Merrickville and Kemptville will open its doors to the public on June 3. Freemasonry is the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world. Its members share a common goal of helping each other become better men. Its body of knowledge and system of ethics is based on the belief that each man has a responsibility to improve himself while being devoted to his family, faith, country, and fraternity. In the course of 300 years Freemasonry would spread around the globe. Today Freemasonry varies across the continents as it adjusts itself to changing social conditions, while observing its fundamental principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. It continues to be, as originally conceived, a brotherhood of man under a fatherhood of God requiring a belief in a supreme being. Our focus is “to help good men make themselves better.” Many Canadians involved in the development of government and industry in Canada, the formulation of our medical, educational and military systems, and so on, were Freemasons. But we never remember them clearly. The fraternity does not advertise itself, nor the extent of its support to members and to those outside the membership who are in need of support. This means that while we remember Sir John A. Macdonald as the first prime minister few know of his Masonic connections and involvement, and fewer still remember him as being prime minister over a country of only four confederated provinces in 1867: Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Or that Sir Arthur Currie of Victoria, BC, commander of the Canadian Expeditionary Force of the First World War, was a Freemason. St. Lawrence District Of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the province of Ontario has 17 lodges with approximately 1,000 members. There are also a number of concordant bodies emanating from Freemasonry, such as
Shriners, Royal Arch Masonry, Scottish Rite Masonry, Knights Templar, and Eastern Star, to name a few. Within this area, there are lodges in Kemptville (Mt. Zion #28), Burritt's Rapids (Merrickville #55), Spencerville (Nation #556), Smiths Falls (St. Francis #24), Lanark (Evergreen #209), and Perth (True Briton's #14).
In celebration of the masons’ Tricentennial Anniversary, visit a local lodge during the open house events. Tour the lodge rooms, ask questions of the members, and learn about the many things the fraternity does for its members and communities. Submitted by the St. Lawrence District Masonic Association

Be in the Band comes to Lanark County, as does Jim Bryson The highs and lows of the crazy music world hit me recently. A high, for me, was hearing the exciting opportunity being presented for our youth by the new joint partnership of Ottawa's RBC Bluesfest, Perth's Stewart Park Festival and YAK (Youth Action Kommittee) in offering the “Be In the Band” Program for Perth. The program will be in several locations in Lanark County. Almonte, Carleton Place and Perth have each started programs in their respective communities this spring. Vocal coaching, microphone use skills, stage presence are but a few of what these lucky youth will be mentored in. Many thanks to Alan Marsden of Bluesfest for co-ordinating the initiation of each of these programs. With fewer school music programs and fewer places for kids to hone their musical skills by jamming with others, Royal Bank of Canada, in 2009, joined forces with Ottawa's Bluesfest and started sponsoring this “Be In the Band” program that offers local communities the opportunity to have their youth, 11 — 17 years of age with at least one year's music training, a chance to form a local band. Under the tutelage of a provided Music Mentor, through 10 — 12 weekly sessions, they'll work together to develop several songs, covers and hopefully original music that they will perform at a local event later. These will be judged
Musical Musings STEVE TENNANT
and compared to other communities' bands. The goal is to be chosen to play at this year's Bluesfest as well as playing at Stewart Park Festival. In a brief interview with Jeff Kohl, Perth's Music Mentor (and a very proficient, experienced local musician), he responded to the question of why this was exciting for him by saying “this is a perfect blend of two of my lifelong passions … music and youth mentorship. I love working with young people to help them be the very best they can be … which is often quite amazing!” Sounds like the perfect person for the job. Kohl also indicated they'd had several excellent attendees in Perth but are still looking for a bass player and a keyboard player. To get more information, please call 613-200-0655 and ask for Jeff or Tanis of YAK. Even after the first gathering at YAK in Perth, they received many messages from musicians, their friends and family about how excited they were to witness such a positive program like “Be In The Band” Program being initiated
locally. What a great way to help keep the legacy of quality music in the area by facilitating opportunities for our youth. Please support this. Another “high” was attending the recent Tay Valley Community Choir Concert at the Maberly Hall. In celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary, all songs chosen by the choir were written by Canadians including David Francey, Bruce Cockburn, and Stan Rogers, as well as music ranging from folk to swing to light rock. Compositions by noted regional musicians Tom Lipps and Tony Turner were also offered. Many kudos to Choral Director, Rebecca Worden, and quality pianist, Mary Lou Carroll. From the enthusiasm, it became obvious the joy of music these two helped bring out of the eager choir. Another group, the Backroad Blenders also performed a few tunes with tight harmonies as a real delight. Many thanks to Tay Valley Township and Blue Skies In the Community for their ongoing support. A sad note was hearing that Newfoundland's Sherman Downey, who performed beautifully recently in Perth, travelled on to Fredericton, NB, played a sold-out show and then had his two guitars stolen from his car after. Travelling minstrels work on a tiny financial margin at the best of times, so, to see the implements of his work being stolen leaves a bad taste.

On an exciting note, mark Sunday May 28 at 7 p.m. on your calendars for the next Listening Room Series show. Ottawa's phenom, go-to musician, JIM BRYSON, will be sharing his tunes with us at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). A member of Kathleen Edwards' band and subject of her song, “ I Make the Dough, You Get the Glory”, he's also toured and recorded with The Weakerthans, Howe Gelb, Sarah Harmer, The Hilotrons, Lynn Miles and Tragically Hip. Jim has six albums under his own name, including the latest “Somewhere We Will Find Our Place”. Bryson was the first musician we hosted at our Music On McLean House Concert Series, back in 2004 and it's been wonderful watching his skills develop to the point where now he is so much in-demand, both as a performer with several songs in regular rotation on CBC Radio and as a Producer for other artists. One musician Jim is especially excited about is LARISSA TANDY, one of Australia’s finest emerging talents — a powerful, instinctive songwriter with an arresting voice. Hailing from rural Australia, Larissa came up from the underground of Melbourne’s world-class music scene, mining her difficult life for potent stories and spinning them into songs that made their way onto radio in America, the UK, and Canada where the CBC or-
dained them as “songs you need to hear”. Larissa will be opening for Jim. It should be quite an evening of stellar singer/songwriter tunes. Jim announced he'd be playing at Quitters, Kathleen Edwards' coffee café in Stittsville a while ago and three shows sold out in minutes so I highly recommend you purchasing your tickets soon. Tickets are $20 and available at The Perth Tea Room or by calling 613-267-7902. Dinner reservations can be made by calling 613-267-3170. Part of the proceeds will be going to Taycare Children’s Centre. Upcoming events Thursday May 11, Slocan Ramblers at Full Circle Theatre, 8 p.m. $25 Tickets available at Tickets Please 613-485-6434 Homegrown Canadian Bluegrass. You'll love 'em.

'The Spitfire Grill' is a hot property “Something’s cookin’ at the Spitfire Grill” is more than just a lyric line from the Studio Theatre's new spring musical, The Spitfire Grill. It refers not only to the sizzling fare prepared at the lone restaurant in the small Wisconsin town of Gilead, but also to the notion that there's big news in these parts — the biggest since the disastrous closing of Gilead's quarry years before. There’s a new girl in town, and it doesn’t take long for the gossipmongers and rubber neckers to spread the word that Percy (from the unusual name Perchance, meaning “by chance”), who happens to be living with Hannah at her rundown Spitfire Grill, is a recent prison parolee; a genuine jailbird. Why has Percy set her post-incarceration sights on Gilead? It turns out that the town was the focus of her prison dreams, after she saw an idyllic picture in a travel magazine. As the story unfolds — rich with infectious melodies and heartfelt, homespun truths — Percy's presence becomes the spark that ignites new life in Gilead, and a new attitude toward the town's future. The Spitfire Grill explores themes of community and redemption, woven through scenes of exquisite poignancy juxtaposed with moments of comic hilarity. It's an upbeat, uplifting slice of Americana, and you'll be humming the show-stopping tunes long after the curtain closes. The small cast of seven enormously talented performers comprises a wide variety of characters, from the elderly, foul-tempered Hannah (Barb Guthrie) to the mysterious, almost enchanted Percy (Courtney Mason) who has appeared as if from nowhere and who
proceeds, unintentionally, to transform the town and its inhabitants. We also meet Joe, (Andrew MacDougall) the sheriff; Shelby (Cait Morton) and Caleb (Jeff Kohl), a couple challenged by the town’s misfortunes; Effy (Lindsay Rewi), the postmistress and general busybody; and the Visitor (Mark Bailey), whose identity remains a mystery until late in the play. If many of these actors' names sound familiar, it's because you've seen them — and loved them — in recent Studio Theatre musicals like 9 to 5, Bingo Ladies, and Little Women. They're some of the most gifted musical theatre actors anywhere. The Spitfire Grill is adapted for the stage from the 1996 film of the same name by David Lee Zlotoff. Fred Alley and James Valcq wanted to create a piece of populist theatre with elements of myth and folk tale. Together they wrote the book, with Valcq composing the score’s music and Alley the lyrics. The off-Broadway production by Playwrights Horizons began previews at 42nd Street’s Duke Theatre on Sept. 7, 2001, and concluded its scheduled run on Oct. 14, 2001, having been one of the unfortunate victims of the 9/11 attack that shut down much of Broadway’s entertainment in its horrific aftermath. The play won the Richard Rodgers Production Award, administered by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, among several other prestigious nominations and awards. Critics loved the show. In New York Magazine, John Simon wrote, "Soulful and transcendent. It is not often that material moves me to tears, but this was one of those occasions." In the New York Times,
I Deserve The Best Home Child Care.
Alvin Klein declared the show “a soul-satisfying new musical. The Spitfire Grill is a complete work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation ... The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows.” The Studio Theatre's production of The Spitfire Grill is directed, of course, by C. Lee Bates, with musical direction by Rideau Lakes Orchestra conductor Alexandra Guerin, who will be leading a talent-laden live orchestra which includes keyboard, cello, violin, guitar, mandolin, and accordion (synth). Emma Houlahan returns to Studio Theatre as the show’s choreographer, while Joan Frommer runs everything else as stage manager. Carolee Mason joins this year’s musical production as associate director, set designer and dramaturge (yes, dramaturge — a person who acts as a professional consultant and researcher to a theatre company). The Spitfire Grill premières at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore St. E., on Thursday, June 1 for eight performances only. Advance tickets are $25 (cash) at The Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E., as well as at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca) and Shadowfax (shadowfax.on.ca) — both of which accept credit cards and charge a convenience fee. Tickets are $27 at the door; students with ID pay just $10 at the door. Attend opening night and save $5. Visit studiotheatreperth. com for details. Yes, there's big news in the town of Gilead, Wis. And this spring, The Spitfire Grill will be big news here in Perth, too. Get your tickets soon — C. Lee Bates' spring musicals are always a hot property.

Now that spring has arrived, there are newborn babies all around us. Our human instinct when we come upon very young wildlife is to help them. The best thing to do is to not touch young wild animals or go too close to them. If their mother is not around, she is probably foraging for food nearby and will return soon. If you observe that she has not returned after several hours or you know for a fact that the mother is dead, injured or has been relocated, this would be the time to intervene. The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) does not have the resources nor are we licensed to take in and care for wild animals. If you encounter wildlife in need and have questions, or need guidance on what to do, please contact the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary at 613-258-9480 (leave a message) or send an email to info@rideauwildlife.org. LAWS is currently looking for board members with a solid business background and expertise in finance, human resources, fundraising and communications/social media. If you want to help make a difference in the lives of pets in the Lanark County area; if you have the time to commit to help LAWS survive and thrive; and if you enjoy working as part of a dedicated, enthusiastic team, then we would like to meet you. For more information, contact Kathy at president@lanarkanimals.ca. The draw for the beautiful quilt donated by Almonte Quilters Guild was held last week. Congratulations to the winner, Deborah B., and thank you to the guild and everyone who participated in the raffle. Thank you to Commonwell Mutual Insurance Company in Perth as well, who threw a Cupcake Day to raise funds and collect supplies for the Shelter — sweet. This week, we feature four cats who were rescued from the streets — cold, alone and starving. When they came to LAWS, they were initially all very scared, and preferred to run and hide rather than interact with us. But, with patience and persistence, we have been able to gain their trust to some extent. They can all be approached and stroked — which they now enjoy — and can even be held briefly. This progress has been achieved with only a couple of hours of interaction each day. We know that in a proper home, with more consistent attention they will become the pets they want to be.

How to protect against elder abuse, and how to help someone in need Here’s a statistic we wish wasn’t true: One to 10 per cent of seniors are subjected to elder abuse. Many cases go unreported, but the truth is people are taking advantage of seniors across Canada, and too often nothing is being done about it. If your parent is living alone and may be at risk, here’s what you need to know. What is elder abuse? Elder abuse happens when someone in a position of trust causes harm or distress to an older person. Financial abuse is the most commonly re-
ported form of elder abuse in Canada (tricking, threatening or persuading out of money or property). Seniors may also be physically or psychologically harmed. Neglect is also a problem if the older person fails to get necessities. Signs of elder abuse It can be tough to pinpoint if your parent is being targeted, but the Government of Canada Seniors website suggests looking for the following signs and symptoms: • Confusion about new legal docu-
ments (new will or mortgage) • Sudden drop in cash flow or financial holdings • Fear, anxiety, depression, or passiveness around particular people • Unexplained physical injuries • Dehydration, poor nutrition, poor hygiene • Improper use of medication • Reluctance to speak about the situation Help seniors prevent abuse To keep your loved ones safe, follow these tips from Elder Abuse Ontario:
• Make sure your parent keeps debit cards, credit cards and PIN numbers private. Help set them up with direct deposit for cheques and assist them with paying bills automatically through a bank account. • Recommend that your parent not sign any document out of guilt or lack of comprehension, whether it’s a will, loan or a contract with a utility company. Offer to review documents together and seek out legal advice where appropriate. • Be careful about having someone
move into your parent’s home: thoroughly check references beforehand and monitor continuously after. • Assist your parents with planning their future while they’re still independent and mentally capable (power of attorney, living will, etc.). • Help maintain connections with loved ones, friends and support networks in the community: isolation increases vulnerability to abuse. • Make sure your parent opens their own mail and has their own phone (and knows how to use it).

Social media: If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em BY CHRISTINE PEETS
Does social media make it more complicated to connect with educators, or is it easier than connecting in person? Social media is often the only way some people communicate now; but sometimes, face-to-face may be the best way to find out more about your child(ren)'s progress and discuss ways that you can become more engaged in the classroom or the school. As everyone’s schedules are tight, connecting through social media may be less time-consuming, but it doesn’t replace the need for — or the benefits of — an in-person meeting or telephone call. Take advantage of every opportunity to meet with your child(ren)'s teacher(s), and don't wait until there is a problem to discuss. Join your local school council. If you are really keen, the Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) welcomes new members. Using social media, parents may find it easier to keep up with current news about and from your
child(ren)'s teachers, school and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). More often used are Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ UCDSB) and Twitter (https://twitter. com/UCDSB). You'll soon figure out which one(s) work for you. Twitter is useful because messages are short — less than 140 characters — and may contain links to articles of interest to parents and educators, or link back to Facebook, where posts can be longer. Videos are often linked on both platforms. UCDSB Today (http://paper. li/UCDSB/1404155016#/all) is the official e-newspaper, where you will find articles from a number of different sources. School councils may have social media channels and the PIC has its own accounts with Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UCDSB. PIC and Twitter. Just look for @ UCDSB or #UCDSB by going online to https://www.twitter.com. Many teachers now use email — not only with parents, but with the students themselves. Some teachers
have a “classroom newsletter” that gets sent out by email. Email might be a good option for you, but they can be a little impersonal and you may want time to chat with the teacher. Using email to set the appointment can save a lot of “telephone tag” when you’re trying to reach the teacher or viceversa. How you connect with your child(ren)'s school is not as important as the fact that you are connecting. The world of social media and the digital highway may be tough to enter for some, but it gets easier once you get going, and it definitely is a good way to connect parents, students and educators. The more lines of communication you can keep open, the better it is for everyone. Using social media doesn't have to be complicated, and it may become a case of “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” Christine Peets is the Writer-inResidence for the Parent Involvement Committee, Upper Canada District School Board

PEPPER, OWEN APRIL 9, 1938 - MAY 17, 2016
When family ties are broken And loved ones have to part, It leaves a scar that never heals And a void within our hearts. We can not have the old days back When we were all together, But loving thoughts and memories Will live with us forever. In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you fade away. Our hearts were breaking, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping So peacefully and free from pain. How could we wish you back, To suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone. For part of all of us went with you, The day your were called home. In loving memory of my dear husband, our dear and loving father, our special Poppy & Grandpa & loving great-grandpa & Poppy Carole & family
new size 2x87 PULLEN, Walter “Wally” – In loving memory of my dear husband who passed away five years ago May 13, 2012. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, But all I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your resting place I visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As I turn and leave you there. Miss you and love you Janet

Five per cent of sales will go to legion’s nation-wide BY SHERRY HAAIMA shaaima@metroland.com
Whitewater Brewing Company is toasting Canada’s veterans with their new Legion Lager. “We are extremely proud to join forces with The Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command to produce a new co-branded craft beer — the only beer that helps raise awareness and funds for legion programs for veterans,” said Whitewater. “Legion Lager will become available in our Ontario branches in May, and will soon be rolling out to local LCBOs, Beer Stores and retail outlets.” Plans are underway to expand nationally, as Legion Lager is one of only a handful of craft brewed lagers in Canada. “We’re thrilled that Whitewater has partnered with the legion to support Canada’s veterans by donating five per cent of the brand’s sales to legion programs,” said Dominion Command president David Flannigan. “Those funds will help support programs to improve the lives of veterans and their families.” Flannigan said he looks forward to seeing the branches — whose volunteers work so hard to generate revenue to run their local programs and services — embrace the new brand and the opportunities it will provide. “Being able to serve our own Legion Lager, in a can or on tap, at legion branches means we can offer our members and other patrons an added beverage choice when they stop in for a visit.” Sales from those purchases, he points out, also support the branches and the important work they do. Royal Canadian Legion Cobden Branch 550 president Gene Phillion said he’s thrilled with the idea. Dominion Command will be making a visit to Whitewater’s Cobden location, he said.
“We’re hoping it’s going to do well,” he said, noting there’s been interest from across the province and beyond. “Anything that’s positive towards the legion is a good thing.” Many people don’t realize, said Phillion, that veterans aren’t just those who fought in the World Wars. “Vets are soldiers that are still active today. A veteran is a soldier and that’s who we have to support – more so than ever,” he said. “They’re coming back from the Middle East with a lot of problems, mentally and physically. Any help they can get is a good thing. I can’t help but think that this five per cent they’re going to get is going to help a lot.” Chris Thompson, one of Whitewater’s three owners/ founders, is also pleased with this partnership. “We’re honoured to have been chosen to brew a brand exclusively for an organization that does so much to help veterans. It’s a cause that is close to our hearts,” he said. The legion is a grassroots organization and Whitewater is pleased to be supporting such an important effort. “The legion does a lot of really cool things,” he said. “You see them every Remembrance Day. The nice thing about this is it will keep it in people’s minds a little bit more. They do so many things, not just for veterans but for the community.” When the owners heard the legion was looking to partner up with someone on this project, they jumped at the chance to get involved. “We spent a good couple months just ironing out the details and things like that, developing the recipe, coming up with posters and glassware and all those little things,” said Thompson. There’s been a good response to the beer itself. “It’s a lager, which, up ‘til now we’ve only ever done ales,” he said. “Different yeasts are used and then they’re done at different temperatures. Lagers tend to be more clean and easy drinking. Many of us in the Valley grew up drinking lagers. It’s a very nice, clean, easy drinking beer, comparable to our ale Farmer’s Daughter, but less hoppy.” The Royal Canadian Legion has joined forces with Whitewater Brewing Company to produce a new cobranded craft beer.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
horoscopes
sudoku
Bearsaeinrs
Visit www.travelalerts.ca/Backyard
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, finding what you desire when you haven’t made your own mind up aboutwhat you want can be challenging. Some soul-searching can probably come up with something promising.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Going back to school might be the best path for you at this time, Leo. Although this might stretch your schedule to its limits, you’ll find the time if it’s important to you.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 There are a few friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin, Sagittarius. When one comes knocking at your door for help, give this person the support he or she needs.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Nagging doubts about an investment may be trying to tell you something, Taurus. Hold off on any bold moves until you feel more confident with parting ways with cash.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can find a solution to a problem even if the answer eludes you for the time being. Don’t overthink what has to be done. This is a time to act.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you have already committed to something, see it through. The end result may be something unexpected. Others are anxious to see what you can accomplish.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, trips may seem like they have to be large undertakings, but that’s not always the case. Try for a short jaunt somewhere and enjoy the scenery.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Take the emotional plunge, Cancer. Someone special needs to hear about it pronto. This is not a week to clam up, but rather one to share your feelings and let others in.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 The time has come to spend less time thinking and more time doing, Scorpio. Turn a page in your life and you’ll likely be satisfied with the results.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you always have time to do something for yourself, but you might need to put that on hold right now and focus on others. Forge ahead even if you are met with resistance.

tgesner@metroland.com
The Jock River Paddle, presented by Beckwith Township, makes its return this Saturday, on May 13. Now in its second year, the event is a super, awesome way to discover the municipality, according to reeve Richard Kidd. With Beckwith’s focus on healthy recreation, he noted the Jock River Paddle combines history, nature and fitness. “We have quite a few (people) registered already, and we are getting close to last year’s numbers,” Kidd said. “However, there is still room.” Being friendly neighbours, Carleton Place deputy mayor Jerry Flynn and Coun. Sean Redmond are participating. “We will definitely have more water than last year,” Kidd said with a smile. The Jock River Paddle – a 6.5km course – begins at 10 a.m. at the

Integrity commissioner: Carleton Place mayor committed ‘most egregious’ privacy violation BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos could be docked up to 90 days’ pay for contravening council’s code of conduct when he was a councillor in the last term of council, according to a report from the town’s integrity commissioner. Robert Swayze’s report into his investigation of an alleged “gross misuse of in camera or closed session meetings” by Antonakos was released on Friday, May 5. Area resident and Carleton Place property manager Wally Thorbjornsson filed a complaint with the integrity commissioner’s office on Feb. 23. Thorbjornsson alleged, between 2012 and 2014, when Antonakos was a councillor in the last term of council he voice recorded “in camera discussions to do with development activity and proposals before the council” and played them to “groups of people in the development business on at least six to eight occasions.” Although several complaints were made against the now mayor by Thorbjornsson, in his report, Swayze took into consideration that “only one of the many claims made by the com-

plainant has been established and that the offence occurred almost five years ago.” He noted: “I believe the evidence of Mr. Dulmage (former mayor Paul Dulmage) and that of the complainant, in respect of the Hooper Street incident and I find that Mr. Antonakos, on one of these two occasions in 2012 (May 30 or June 6), contravened the code by playing a voice tape in the presence of both the complainant and Mr. Dulmage, thereby disclosing confidential information from a closed meeting and (from the code) aiding “others to benefit, from knowledge respecting bidding on the sale of municipal property or assets.” The integrity commissioner added, “...clandestinely recording and playing a tape of a closed session dealing with the sale of municipal land, for the person bidding on the land, is the most egregious disclosure of confidential information I have ever encountered in nine years serving as an integrity commissioner.” “In my opinion, it should be dealt with severely.” Swayze recommended an amount equal to 90 days of the average compensation paid to Antonakos as a See REPORT page A/CP9

Male suspect sought after attempted robbery at RBC in Almonte BY STAFF
A male suspect assaulted a bank employee and fled on foot without obtaining any money during a robbery at RBC in Almonte on the morning of May 8. Lanark County OPP confirmed they responded to a report of a robbery at the bank, located on Ottawa St., at 10:30 a.m. “Preliminary details of the investigation indicate that a male, wearing a disguise to conceal his face, entered the bank, assaulted a bank employee and then fled the scene on foot without obtaining any money,” according to an OPP release. “The employee was not injured and did not require medical attention.” Officers secured the bank, which was closed to customers for the remainder of the after-
noon, but has since re-opened. The OPP are continuing their investigation and have stated it is in its “early stages.” “An update will be issued when confirmed and accurate information becomes available,” the release read. Members of the Almonte and Pakenham stations of the Mississippi Mills Fire Department, along with OPP, were at the same location for a possible gas leak at a business that morning. Reports over the scanner noted it appeared gas meters had been tampered with. It’s unclear if the two incidents are related and OPP would not confirm. Anyone with information or who was in the area at the time of the robbery is asked to contact Lanark County OPP at 613267-2626 during business hours, or 24/7 at 1-888-310-1122.
OPP continue to investigate an attempted robbery that took place at the RBC branch in Almonte on the morning of May 8. They are seeking any information on the male suspect, who assaulted a bank employee and then fled on foot without obtaining any money. Tara Gesner/ Metroland

OPP continue investigation into May 2 Appleton death BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
An autopsy was performed on Tuesday, May 2 at the Ottawa Hospital, following the discovery a day earlier of a body in the village of Appleton, Municipality of Mississippi Mills. OPP will not comment on the identity of the deceased male; however, the Canadian Gazette has learned through friends of the family it is 50-year-old Paul Craig. Police were called to Appleton around 10 a.m. on Monday morning. OPP will not say where the body was discovered, but insist no suspects are being sought, and there are no safety issues associ-
ated with his death. The Lanark County Crime Unit is conducting an investigation, with the assistance of the OPP Forensic Identification Services Unit. “People may see more police activity in the area as this is an active investigation,” OPP Const. David Bird, community services officer, told this newspaper on May 4. OPP is asking the public to contact the Lanark County detachment during business hours at 613-267-2626 or toll free 24/7 at 1-888-310-1122 if they have any information regarding this incident. People who wish to remain anonymous with their tips can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
The Lanark County Crime Unit, with the assistance of the OPP Forensic Identification Services Unit, continues to investigate the discovery of a body in the village of Appleton, Municipality of Mississippi Mills, on Monday, May 1. Tara Gesner/ Metroland

Public outcry as Mississippi Mills council moves forward on rezoning Don Maynard Park A public meeting to rezone Don Maynard Park was interrupted by an arrest during the Mississippi Mills council meeting May 2. Mario Coculuzzi, who lives in the Gale subdivision across from the park, was forcibly removed by Lanark County OPP officers and subdued on the floor in the lobby after an impassioned plea to council to save the parkland. “You’re (council) all hypocrites and I’m sorry I ever laid eyes on this bloody town,” Coculuzzi exclaimed. The gallery was full for the public session, a requirement under the Planning Act, which dealt with zoning bylaw and Community Official Plan (COP) amendments to redesignate portions of Don Maynard Park as residential to allow for the creation of five lots. Currently designated parkland and open space, approval of the changes would see the land use designation in the COP changed to residential and the zoning changed from parkland and open space to residential first density.
Due to the list of 16 residents who had registered to speak, mayor Shaun McLaughlin, who chaired the session, limited them to two minutes each. “Let’s be very clear on what we’re talking about tonight. This is for a zoning bylaw amendment and Community Official Plan amendment,” he explained. “I know all of you are very passionate about the park and we’ve heard a lot from you over the past nine months. This is not about selling the park. That decision has already been made.” “So, please keep your comments to issues addressed to the zoning bylaw amendment and Official Plan amendment,” McLaughlin continued. Mississippi Mills planner Steve Stirling went through the background of the parkland, known as Block 40. The Gale subdivision dates back to 1978 when a five-phased plan of subdivision was given draft approval. It consisted of 77 units (61 single and eight semi-detached) with a 0.92 acre parkland block. “Phase one (of the subdivision) created 33 lots and dedicated Block 40 to the municipality as parkland,” Stirling
explained in his report. Later, on Aug. 17, 2003 the land was dedicated to the late Don Maynard, who was dedicated to fostering recreation in the community. According to Stirling’s report, the recommendation to sell some parkland first came up in November 2013 in Stantec’s parks and recreation master plan, which included Don Maynard Park. “The municipality originally proposed selling all of Block 40 and the adjacent Block 42 and using the proceeds towards the development of Gemmill Park,” he said, but council’s final decision was to retain a portion as Don Maynard Park and use the land fronting Gale St. to create five, 50-foot lots to be sold. The proceeds would be used to support the Gemmill Park project. Stirling said in advance of the meeting, the municipality had received five written comments in objection to the changes. Resident Deirdre Hemsley was the first to speak and admitted she’d waited 19 months to address council. “I feel that if we move on this park, you would move on
any park in town,” she stated. “It would set a precedent if it was followed through.” “…Most of your decisions for getting rid of some of the parkland comes from a report from Stantec,” Hemsley continued. “If you’re going to be selling or changing parkland into residential because of a trend, in four or five years when the trend changes, do we get the parkland back? Probably not.” Gloria Leonard has resided in Almonte for 66 years and lives next door to the current configuration of Don Maynard Park. She said the loss of trees and wildlife will be great and noted “we (residents) paid a premium to live near this park and our house values will drop by 20 to 30 per cent.” “We’ve heard all of this before,” interjected McLaughlin. “…We’ve been living this for nine months. We understand you’re passionate and I respect your passion, but you have to stick to the recommendations here.” “You are ruining our quality of life in the Gale subdivision,” Leonard pointed out. “You’re putting huge houses on streets where there are bungalows. You’re ruining our neighbour-
hoods!” When it came time for Don Maynard’s son Steve to speak, he stated he would not be brief. “I will likely be 15 minutes,” he said. McLaughlin reiterated the two-minute cap and suggested Maynard make a written submission. “It carries just as much weight,” he stated. “I don’t believe you have the authority to override the Planning Act,” Maynard said. McLaughlin noted, “I can close this public meeting down. I can do that,” as the crowd shouted “Let

Remember, it is the law During the May 2 planning and protection meeting, Carleton Place Coun. Sean Redmond, chair, had an important message, and I think it is one worth sharing with the community. “Luckily the activity of our local fire department has been a little less than it has been in the past,” Redmond said. “However, one thing comes to mind that I would like to bring up.” He referenced a recent posting by the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) on its Facebook page. The OWFC has responded recently to a number of homes that did not have working smoke alarms. Obviously, as a fire service they are very concerned. Home smoke detectors can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out. According to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, smoke alarms can increase a person’s chance of surviving a fire by up to 50 per cent. Ontario law requires working smoke alarms be located on every storey of a home and outside all sleeping areas. “When a fire breaks out in your home every second counts,” Redmond said. “You need that early detection to escape quickly and safely.” Fire chief Les Reynolds, also at the May 2 meeting, stressed, “It boggles my mind that people…you can buy them as low as $6.” “When people do not have adequate protection, it is a case of life or death,” he added. Most fatal fires occur at night. Smoke alone will not necessarily wake you up. In actual fact, the fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Only a working smoke alarm can save your life! Carleton Place averages three to five structure fires per year, and in April there were three. Two occurred at night, and in both cases the smoke alarms were not working. “These were very close calls,” Reynolds said. “One never knows when or if it is going to happen,” Redmond commented. There is zero tolerance for not complying with smoke alarm requirements, for homeowners, landlords and com-
TARA GESNER Tara Firma
panies, resulting in a ticket for $235 or a fine of up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations. “Why gamble?” Redmond said. “Put in a smoke alarm for $6 versus risking a fine or in the worst case scenario death.” They are small but mighty, and each year they save thousands of lives. “This message really hits home, and I think we need to highlight it,” Redmond said. Make sure you test your smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries every six months. These devices are designed to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week – if you look after them. Smoke alarms can be electrically powered, battery powered or a combination of both. Whatever kind you have, remember they do not last forever. Replace them every five years. Every year, during Fire Prevention Week in October, the OWFC visits area schools, speaking about fire safety and the importance of smoke detectors. There are three things you must always remember when you hear a smoke alarm activated in your home. Get down, get out and stay out! People have only three minutes to exit a burning home, and it is within the first 30 seconds the smoke alarm activates. Therefore, upon activation you now only have two minutes and 30 seconds to get out of your house before the smoke conditions become unlivable, before they become life threatening. Fire safety also depends on every member of the household. Families need to talk about what to do in case of a fire. Smoke detectors, along with a proper escape plan, save lives. Anyone with questions or concerns about location and installation of smoke alarms, contact the OWFC at 613-257-5526.

In a press release on Thursday, May 4, on his personal Facebook page, Antonakos shared some of Swayze’s findings. Too, he indicated he would not attend Tuesday’s council meeting. “The integrity commissioner has verbally advised me, that it would be a conflict if I participated in the May 9 meeting at which time Mr. Swayze will be delivering his full report,” the mayor said. The Canadian Gazette reached out to Swayze on Friday, May 5 regarding Antonakos’ comment.
“I suggested to him that he should seek independent legal advice whether he has a conflict under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act,” he wrote in an email. Antonakos also noted, “With full respect to the process and the integrity commissioner, I accept Mr. Swayze’s recommendation and will move forward knowing that due process has been served in accordance with his mandate.” Carleton Place council members were surprised by the release of any information from the integrity
commissioner’s report. “It has not been circulated to council,” Coun. Theresa Fritz told this newspaper. “The process, as we (council) understood it, was for the document to go to the clerk and then it would be in our council packages for Friday delivery and on the town website with Tuesday’s council agenda on Friday afternoon (May 5).” “I find this release very disturbing but not surprising, unfortunately,” she added. Based only on what was pub-
lished on Antonakos’ Facebook page, Thorbjornsson stated: “What I have known for a long time is now public knowledge. Our mayor, Louis Antonakos has been found guilty of violating council’s code of conduct...” He is demanding the mayor apologize to him and “do the honourable thing” and resign. Since the full report’s release, Carleton Place residents have taken to social media to demand the mayor attend the May 9 council meeting.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place held its annual public speaking contest recently. They are pleased to report that the first place speakers moved on to the zone contest in Kanata and placed in all three categories. Primary winner Eva Rose Reid from Carleton Place came in second; junior winner Joryn Erwin placed first; and intermediate entry, Christian Erwin, placed first. The first place winners from the zone contest moved on to the district level in Stittsville.

Once again stressing he couldn’t make all his points within that timeframe, McLaughlin said, “then please leave the building.” Almonte resident Gerry Belisle pleaded with council to reconsider its decision to sell a portion of the parkland and listen to the residents. He noted 380 were in attendance Aug. 9, 2016 for a public meeting on the matter and a 1,300 signed a petition presented to council asking council to retain the park. “You’re not speaking to the planning issues,” McLaughlin said. “This is not going to help your case. The decision has been made to sell the land and we’re not going back on this.” When Belisle mentioned an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) about council’s decision, McLaughlin said “statements like this have no force or effect on the OMB.” “A lot of you are talking about going to the OMB. You need to provide a planner of record or lawyer of record. It’s not a simple matter,” he continued. “It’s not a cheap matter. I’m just telling you this now so you don’t waste your time. We adhere closely to the
Planning Act.” Coculuzzi indicated he didn’t want to appeal to the OMB, but he will go down that road. “This (decision) can’t be cast in stone. All of you have the ability to change your mind and do what’s right,” he said. “…The land itself is dedicated land. It was given to a man who dedicated 30 years of his life, which is the crux of my point. Is there a time limitation on dedicated land?” Coculuzzi questioned. “…It turns out there is and it’s 13 years.” As his voice became more impassioned, McLaughlin cut off Coculuzzi’s statement, noting he wasn’t sticking to the planning matter at hand. “Leave the podium now, please,” he said, noting the municipality’s procedural bylaw can ask residents to leave the building and council chambers if out of order. “We can’t have this constant bickering and ignorance of the rules,” McLaughlin added. “I’m sorry. There’s too much emotion in the room. I’m more than willing to let people speak if you just be reasonable.” Pam Coculuzzi, Mario’s wife, acknowledged “I usually speak a lot better than this,

but my husband was just arrested.” She took issue with an estimate that her property value will go down by $48,000 if the parkland is removed. “You’re no longer in small claims court. You’re in big court,” she said. “If other people lose substantial amounts on their property it means it will cost you.” “I will make sure that park stays the way it is. Those adult trees will stay there. I bought my house with a park across from it and what I thought was a beautiful little town,” Pam added. She noted she was “outraged” at council’s decision to use the sale of the five lots to support the Gemmill Park project, which includes a splash pad and skatepark. She believed parkland was only to be sold for catastrophic reasons such as a water treatment plant failure “and you sell the park to get money.” “Five lots for a splash pad? That is not a catastrophic reason to sell a park.” Other concerns presented during the meeting regarding the rezoning was the issue of sidewalks and increased traffic within the subdivision that would be created by the five lots.
Let there be light. Mississippi Mills council approved the conversion of its cobra head street lights to LED fixtures during its March 21 meeting. According to director of public works Guy Bourgon, the conversion will be done by RealTerm Energy, who on June 28 of last year were tasked by council with preparing an investment grade audit. This was done “to confirm actual cost savings based on GPS field mapping of the municipality’s street light inventory, and a feasibility assessment of upgrading the street light fixtures,” he said. Under that audit, RealTerm Energy discovered the street light network includes 813 cobra headlights containing high pressure sodium fixtures — 11 more than originally thought. “The lighting currently in place is not very efficient and costly to operate and maintain,” Bourgon stated in his report to council.
The fixtures suggested for Mississippi Mills are 3,000 CCT, LED lights made by Cree Inc. This model adheres to the municipality’s night skies bylaw, Bourgon said, and will yield “significant savings.” The total cost, including HST, sits at $388,146. He provided a chart outlining that before upgrading, the annual electricity costs for street lights sits at $113,018. By switching, that number is expected to drop 42 per cent to $47,718. The maintenance costs and energy consumption will also go down. “The RealTerm Energy IGA (investment grade audit) indicates annual projected savings for the operation and maintenance of our street light network of $68,265 (based on 2015 costs) by converting to LED fixtures,” Bourgon said. He suggested the project be funded internally through reserves over a 10-year term. Coun. John Edwards was pleased to see this project moving forward, but questioned the financing term. “This is a very positive re-
Gran Openi d ng
port in regard to energy savings and financial statements ...” he commented. “Where the confusion is for me, is it looks to me like the project would be entirely paid for in five years, given the savings projected, but there’s reference to a 10year financing plan.” “This is an incredible opportunity for us,” Edwards added. Bourgon explained the financing information was taken from the June 2016 audit report from RealTerm Energy. “We kept it the same because that’s what council approved at the time,” he continued. “I spoke with the treasurer (Rhonda Whitmarsh) and there’s no reason we can’t apply the savings and have that paid down sooner.” After deferring the matter in 2016, Coun. Paul Watters said it may have worked to council’s benefit. “The lighting they’re putting in today is 10 to 15 per cent better than it was years ago, so my compliments to council for pushing it off a year and thinking in advance,” he remarked.

Canada 150 theme of 10th annual Wine’d Around Downtown May 27 One of the most popular annual events in Carleton Place, Wine’d Around Downtown, returns Saturday, May 27 and tickets are now available. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the downtown wine and food sampling extravaganza. Last year, nearly 300 people took part and in recent weeks the host committee has been inundated with requests for ticket information. The event is a fundraiser for the Sister Cities Youth Exchange program and other activities involving the communities. Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland and the city of Franklin, Tennessee a growing suburb of the world country music capital, Nashville. Canada 150 (Canada’s sesquicentennial) is the theme of this year’s venture with specially designed T-shirts once again acting as tickets to the event. The maple leaf, Canada’s wellknown national symbol, dominates the front of the shirts. Because this is the 10th annual activity and Canada marking its 150th birthday, outdoor musical entertainment has been added to the mix this year. Fast rising Carleton Place singersongwriter Brea Lawrenson will feature on an outdoor stage in the municipal parking lot beside 92 Bridge St. (opposite the banks). She will be joined by popular local musician George Chenier. They will perform throughout the four-hour event which runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and includes eight restaurants, pubs and caterers. The participating venues will dispense tasty appetizers and wine samples will be on offer at various locations in the downtown area.
Tickets, at $25 each, are now available for sale at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce Information Centre, located in historic Moore House at 170 Bridge St. (opposite the town hall) and at the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St. Purchasers receive an event T-shirt, an information brochure about the event and a coupon for one free appetizer at one of the participating venues. As the play on words in the name suggests participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one venue to another in the downtown area. The idea of the event is not to over imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers in one or more of the locations taking part in the afternoon event. Anyone wearing a Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt is entitled to purchase additional wine samples and appetizers at each of the participating venues for just $3 each. “We ask everyone involved to wear their T-shirt and join the crowd. This is an enjoyable social event,” says Jeff Maguire, chair of the host committee. “But you have to purchase and wear a T-shirt, or this year’s 10th anniversary logo must be visible, in order to take part. “When you buy a ticket you’re helping local students travel abroad. That’s what this is all about. Young people from Franklin, Tennessee will be in Carleton Place the same week as part of this year’s Carleton Place-Franklin Youth Exchange,” Maguire explains. Numerous venues Once again this year Waterfall Wedding and Event Catering will be located at Moore House. Stalwart Brewing
Co. on High Street is also back this year. Their beer proved very popular during the 2016 event held in sweltering heat. Stalwart will join forces with the new Black Tartan Kitchen at 132 Bridge St. Rob Carpenter, owner of Beckwith Butcher, will again offer the popular appetizers which have made his business such a key part of Wine’d Around Downtown the past three years. Beckwith Butcher will be located at 92 Bridge Street where the musical entertainment for the event will be staged. Other popular participants include the Thirsty Moose, 20 Bridge St.; the New Queen’s and Rhonda’s Kitchen,
142 Bridge St.; Chesswood Restaurant, 151 Bridge St.; Dionysos Restaurant (Greek and Canadian dining), 156 Bridge St.; and the Waterfront Gastropub, 12 Bell St. (across the river from the Town Hall). “We have several long established participants along with some new restaurants for people to visit this year,” Maguire observes. He says the Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt will also work well for those planning to attend Canada 150 celebrations at Riverside Park in Carleton Place July 1. “It will easily double as wearing apparel when we mark the sesquicenten-
nial here on Canada Day.” Wine’d Around Downtown will also provide a good kickoff for celebrations marking the country’s 150th birthday. As longtime Sister City Committee member Jean Knowles said, referring to the May 27 event: “The party starts now!” For more information about Wine’d Around Downtown contact Maguire by email at jeffrey.maguire@ rogers.com or message Amanda Charania, communications co-ordinator for the Town of Carleton Place at acharania@carletonplace.ca.

Bill Bagg remembered Heated council discussion surrounding
meeting cancellation in Carleton Place
BY TARA GESNER

Carleton Place is mourning the loss of one of its own – William ‘Bill’ Bagg. With his family by his side, Bill passed away in hospital in Carleton Place on April 25. He was 72. Bagg served as a councillor on two terms of council in Carleton Place, from 1983 to 1985 and 1986 to 1988. Many described him as larger than life, charming, quickwitted, quirky, sentimental, loyal and outspoken. He was a showman who loved fully and freely and lived to make people smile. “I first met Bill when we were both on town council, from 1986 to 1988,” former Coun. Gary Strike told the Canadian Gazette. “Bill was also on council the previous term with his other best friend, John McCullagh.” Current Coun. Doug Black also served with Bagg and Strike. The next term Bagg ran for mayor and McCullagh ran for reeve. Strike ran for a second term as councillor. “We all were not successful, but we sure had some fun,” Strike said. “We were very political and the main focus back then was supporting, as Bill would say, the little guy.” Bagg would always offer Strike advice on his many projects – national unity initiatives. “His insight would shock me sometimes,” Strike said. “He was very religious and believed in guardian angels, and so did I.” “We were certainly not rich money wise, but we had a rich life, and we did make a difference,” Strike continued. Bagg’s reputation as an antique dealer reached well beyond Lanark County, in part due to his unforgettably crammed shop, Mississippi Gorge Antiques, as well as the Sundays he spent at his Stittsville Flea Market booth. “We went on little road trips in Lanark County,” Strike said. “Bill would teach me about the history of the area and about the art of antiquing.” “We would go to lunch together several times a week and sit and chat in the afternoon by the rushing water at his antique shop and home at Mississippi Gorge,” Strike added. “Bill would call it the best view in town.” At Christmas Bagg gifted Strike with the round wooden hatch from the oldest registered sailboat built in 1897 in Saint John, New Brunswick. The hatch has the name Canada engraved in it. “I surely miss my good friend,” Strike said. “He used to say the space ship would come and get him

Carleton Place is mourning the loss of one of its own – William ‘Bill’ Bagg. Bill passed away in hospital in Carleton Place on April 25. He served as a councillor on two terms of council in Carleton Place, from 1983 to 1985 and 1986 to 1988. someday, and he wanted ‘I’ll be right back’ on his head stone.” “Maybe he can be my new guardian angel,” the former councillor added. Local resident Kory Earle called Bagg “a great man who left a legacy that we will remember.” “I had the honour of having many great conversations with him over the years,” Earle said. “I loved his knowledge of history and, of course, his sense of humour.” Carleton Place’s Linda Seccaspina was very fond of Bagg. On her blog she noted he told her lots of stories, “and when you saw him you knew it just was not going to be a short conversation.” “One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what someone has to say, and may I say I am so honoured to have been able to listen to the stories and discussion of Bill Bagg,” Seccaspina wrote. “It is hard to forget someone who gave me so much to remember.” Coun. Theresa Fritz, a journalist, called Bagg “a real character.” “I did many a colourful interview with him over the years,” she said. Bagg was a fixture at St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place. Family and friends celebrated his life on May 1 in the hall of the church. A funeral service followed.
Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos has charged his council colleagues with not following proper procedure as it relates to the cancellation of the May 9 policy review meeting. Moreover, he did not get the memo, or in this case, the email. During the planning and protection meeting on May 2, Antonakos stated, “The meeting was cancelled yesterday (May 1) with no reason, and it was cancelled outside of our policies and procedures.” “You cannot cancel a meeting without any kind of motion or explanation, and I certainly was not made aware of the request to have this meeting cancelled,” he continued. Chairing the gathering, Coun. Sean Redmond disagreed. “I know in the past, on three or more occasions, my meeting was cancelled without any motion or anything else,” he said. “That is not factual,” Antonakos stated. “It has never been done outside of council chambers.” The mayor demanded to see proof. The Canadian Gazette received an email from Redmond on May 8 highlighting the following dates, occasions the planning and protection meeting was cancelled or did not occur: Sept. 15, 2015; April 19, 2016; Oct. 18, 2016; Nov. 15, 2016; Dec. 20, 2016; and Feb. 21, 2017. Coun. Brian Doucett, policy review committee chair, asked staff to cancel the meeting scheduled for May 9, and he sent notice of his request to council members. “We all received that email from Coun. Doucett,” deputy mayor Jerry Flynn said. “No, I did not receive it,” Antonakos exclaimed. “It must be an internal memo between other members of council.” In an email to this newspaper, Doucett wrote, “It was sent to him (mayor) on May 2 at 9:37 p.m., but I have no way of knowing whether he read it or not.” It is the prerogative of a committee chair to cancel a meeting on his or her action, according to Coun. Doug Black. “Well, if that is the case I stand corrected,” Antonakos said. “Can we see some evidence?” “I cannot go cancelling a council meeting without getting your consent,” he added. “I think it makes sense (to cancel the policy review meeting),” Coun. Theresa Fritz said. “I think we all know we have a big council meeting coming up on Tuesday night, and although we do not have the report from the integrity commissioner yet, I think we are all going to be
Mayor Louis Antonakos impacted…” In an unprecedented move, the town’s integrity commissioner, Robert Swayze will be in Carleton Place on May 9 to issue his findings on a complaint of misconduct against Antonakos. Area resident and Carleton Place property manager Wally Thorbjornsson made the grievance. “The fact Mr. Swayze is coming to talk to us speaks volumes in my mind,” Fritz said. “I think we need to be focussed exclusively on that meeting.” With the potential for a large gallery, it is anticipated the council meeting will be moved to the town hall’s upstairs auditorium. “After the meeting is over there is an opportunity for us to talk to the people in the audience,” Fritz said. “We often have big council meetings and need to go into a committee meeting afterwards.” The policy review committee meets twice a month. Of late, the agenda has been short. Fritz noted anything urgent could
be dealt with the following week or put over to the next policy review gathering. “I do not think we trying to evade our duties by dealing with matters that matter,” she continued. “We are not trying to hide anything from the public.” “Well said, Theresa,” Flynn remarked. The mayor asked if any council member responded to Doucett’s email. Flynn did, indicating he received the correspondence. “I responded that I agreed,” Fritz replied. “I think it is the best thing for this municipality to just have our council meeting on Tuesday night.” “That is not the issue,” the mayor stressed. “Process is the issue.” “I am astounded, quite frankly, that staff was asked by a member of this council to cancel a regularlyscheduled meeting,” he continued. “We have all this talk about policy and procedure and establishing processes within this chamber, and I am hearing now that individual members of this council received correspondence that excludes at the very least myself.” “Did anyone have any discussion with Coun. Doucett about his intention to request staff cancel this meeting prior to this May 2 email?” Flynn, Fritz and Redmond were notified by Doucett that the request to cancel the policy review gathering was made. “Why am I not on that distribution list?” Antonakos asked. In the end Redmond called the question, with an official motion to cancel the meeting passing by way of a 5-1 recorded vote. Antonakos was the sole ‘no’ vote. Doucett was absent from the meeting with regrets.

Beckwith to create an edible legacy for 150th Beckwith Township has found a delicious way to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. It is planning to build an “edible park” of heritage apples, plum trees, cherry trees, butternut trees and currants within Beckwith Park as a legacy project. A plot of over one acre in size will be cultured to grow nine varieties of apples, three types of plums and three kinds of cherry trees that local historians say were known to grow in the area. Species were selected from a list of more than 50 heritage trees in an effort to appropriately represent
life in Beckwith 150 years ago. The edible park project will serve the community for generations to come. “It’s part of our culture in Beckwith,” Reeve Richard Kidd said, adding “… every homestead had an orchard. This new Edible Park is a reflection of our heritage.” A small mixed plantation provided multiple harvests that served a family throughout the year. In late July, yellow transparent apples would be the first crop harvested to make applesauce. Later, northern spy apples were collected for cooking and bak-
ing. In fall, McIntosh apples were gathered to store over the colder months. Lastly, butternuts and currants would be saved for Christmas dinner. “With the excitement around local food, the Edible Park will bring new interest to the Lanark County Harvest Festival held annually at Beckwith Park,” said Marie White, Lanark County tourism manager. The apple varieties for the Edible Park include McIntosh, northern spy, duchess, fameuse (snow), golden russet, lobo, spartan, Wolf River and

Wally’s Classic comes to Carleton Place arena May 13 BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
There will be plenty of muscle in Carleton Place this Saturday – May 13, with the return of Wally’s Classic. The strongman competition takes place at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) and begins at 1 p.m. Admission is free. This is the fourth strongman competition in Carleton Place, and a number of events are guaranteed to thrill attendees of all ages: car deadlift; frame carry (100 feet); log lift; Husafell stone; and hand over hand truck pull. “This is an amateur show,” organizer Wally Thorbjornsson told the Canadian Gazette recently, and “they are unbelievable athletes.” “My heart is in supporting those who are starting out in the sport and want to get to the professional level,” he said. Approximately 40 competitors, both men and women, will be in Carleton Place on the weekend. Sanctioned by the Canadian Alliance of Amateur Strength Athletes (CAASA), athletes compete for ranking. “They come in all sizes (different weight categories),” Thorbjornsson said, and “they do all the same events.” Wally’s Classic is tailor-made for the whole family. “I wanted to do a show that everyone could enjoy,” Thorbjornsson said, “and I wanted it to benefit our local community."
Any monies collected by way of the show will benefit Hometown Hearts, a small group of local people, working together to bring great things to Carleton Place. Sam Dube, a strongman coach and announcer, is the day’s MC. “I will be doing a lot of the refereeing,” Thorbjornsson said. Food vendors will be on site during the competition. Wally’s Classic is expected to run in the neighbourhood of four hours. CP Gymnastics Centre and Hollywood Fit Studio present the Kids Zone, complete with an obstacle course. “It was a huge hit last year,” Thorbjornsson said, and “this year they are going all out.” Kids can expect interaction with the competitors, loot bags and more. On Saturday, the organizer is hoping area residents will come out and fill the arena’s seats. “We have a very good reputation within the strongman world,” he said. “People love to come and compete at our competition because they are treated well.” A very special thank you goes to the Town of Carleton Place for its community enrichment grant, which offers assistance with the facility costs. On Aug. 5 this year, Thorbjornsson is bringing the National Log Lifting Championship to Carleton Place. “I am trying to get 10 of the strongest guys here,” he said. “I want to host the biggest log lifting competition ever hosted in Canada.”

Health care close to home good for patients and family members “Nine doors down.” That’s how Eric Pottle describes the distance from his AGH hospital bed to the home he has shared with Sharron, his wife of 39 years. The close proximity to home consoles Eric, although he won’t head home in the foreseeable future.
A chance mishap on a Saturday afternoon last summer changed Eric’s and Sharron’s lives forever. They were sitting in their backyard with a few friends on August 27, when Eric stood up from his chair. He tripped and fell on his back, which was already damaged by a chronic spinal condition. Eric was rushed to the AGH’s Emergency Department where the doctor on duty immediately called the X-ray Department, which provides 24-hour service for emergency cases. A medical radiation technician rushed the AGH’s new digital portable X-ray machine to the ER and took an X-ray on the spot. After reading the X-ray, the doctor diagnosed a broken neck. Eric was stabilized and then transported to Ottawa where specialists performed surgery.
Two months later, Eric returned to AGH, first to the Medical-Surgical Unit and, on November 4, to the Rosamond Complex Continuing Care Unit. Eric is paralyzed now, with only limited mobility in his left hand. He receives his food and medication through a feeding tube inserted in his stomach. AGH nursing staff provide Eric’s personal care, while an automatic lift assists in moving him between his hospital bed and wheelchair. In a few weeks, Eric will be fitted with
an electric wheelchair. He’s looking forward to that, “though I don’t know how long it will take to learn to drive it.”
Eric has adjusted remarkably well to his new life with the help of Sharron,
We are so lucky that Eric is here in AGH… It’s like a second home for him. who visits him every day. And Sharron offers generous praise to their family physician, Dr. Christiane Deschenes, who is also AGH’s Chief of Staff, and others on the AGH health care team. “We are so grateful to Dr. Deschenes. She has been our doctor for over 35 years. We don’t know what we would have done without her. Dr. Heather Abramenko was on duty when Eric was rushed to the ER. The nurses, the physios and all the staff are so caring and good to us,” Sharron adds. The Pottles also appreciate the critical importance of AGH’s diagnostic imaging (DI) equipment in providing Eric’s care and comfort—first the X-ray machine used to diagnose Eric’s broken neck in AGH’s ER, and more recently an abdominal X-ray to check placement
of his feeding tube. Each time, DI staff wheeled the X-ray equipment to Eric’s bedside. “The portable equipment makes such a difference to our patients with mobility issues,” says Dr. Deschenes. “They avoid the ordeal of being moved and brought downstairs to the DI Department. The new digital X-ray equipment provides even greater benefits,” says Dr. Deschenes. “The image quality in digital machines provides better diagnostic accuracy, and the digital machines have much lower radiation.” Those benefits, and pretty well all the care Eric has received at AGH, are not

lost on the Pottles. They are also thrilled that Eric is close to home. “We are so lucky that Eric is here in AGH,” Sharron says. “It’s like a second home for him. It is so much easier for me to visit and it’s so nice for Eric’s peace of mind.”
Being close to home means a lot to the Pottles, especially after Sharron’s experience in the first two months after Eric’s injury. Two days after Eric’s accident, Sharron had knee replacement surgery. The surgery had been previously scheduled, and despite her worries

The case for a CT scanner: faster, more accurate diagnosis close to home Kirsten Solymar first began to experience stomach pains on a Sunday afternoon in early September 2016. “It felt like the flu,” recalls Kirsten, a 24-year-old teacher with the Ottawa Catholic School Board.
“By Monday, I was feeling better, but then the pain returned on Thursday.” On Friday, the pain was bad enough that Kirsten decided to visit the AGH’s Emergency Department. At 6 a.m. on Saturday, she was back at AGH’s ER. “It was becoming unbearable,” she says.
The doctor on duty ordered blood tests and an ultrasound, but found nothing abnormal in the results. When the pain shifted to Kirsten’s right side, the doctor began to suspect
…we must keep up with technological advances, which means providing the best available diagnostic tools for our health care team.
possible appendicitis and sent her to the Queensway Carleton Hospital for a CT scan. She arrived at 11:30 a.m.
Although the QC Emergency Department had been notified of her arrival, Kirsten waited in a wheelchair for a CT scan till 4 p.m. Appendicitis was then immediately diagnosed and Kirsten had surgery at 9 p.m. “It was a very uncomfortable experience,” says Kirsten. “It would have been so much better if I could have just had a CT scan at the AGH.”
With advances in technology in recent years, the computerized tomography (CT) scan has become the diagnostic tool of choice to detect tumours, blood clots, internal bleeding, infections and various other anomalies or abnormalities in the body. A CT scan is used for diagnosing a range of illnesses from cancer to cardiovascular disease, appendicitis, trauma and musculoskeletal disorders. Much more powerful than an X-ray, a CT scan gives detailed images of bone, soft tissue, organs and blood vessels, which can reduce the need for biopsies and other investigative surgical procedures. Without a CT scanner in AGH’s Diagnostic Imaging Department, patients must travel outside the community to other hospitals for testing, says Dr. Christiane Deschenes, AGH’s chief of staff. “Not only is this
travel stressful, time-consuming and expensive for patients,” Dr. Deschenes says, “but it increases wait times for diagnosis.”
In urgent cases, physicians must call radiologists at other hospitals to arrange the transfer of patients for CT scans, says Dr. Deschenes. “If we had a CT scanner at AGH, we could diagnose a patient’s condition much more quickly. In the case of a head injury, in particular, the CT scan could show if someone has a cerebral bleed or not, with a vastly different course of action in either case.”
Dr. Deschenes points out that a CT scanner would be particularly useful to AGH’s Emergency Department. “It would support our request for transfer of a patient with a serious condition to more specialized care,” says Dr. Deschenes, “or it could help us to decide that a worrisome patient can safely remain at AGH.”
A CT scanner also would be an important asset in the recruitment of a general surgeon to AGH’s staff, says Dr. Deschenes. “Nowadays surgeons need to see a CT scan before they operate in many instances. A CT scanner on site would satisfy that requirement.”
The AGH-FVM Foundation plans to raise funds for a CT scanner in its Put Yourself in the Picture campaign, launched on May 10. Purchase of

Not only is this travel stressful, time-consuming and expensive for patients… but it increases wait times for diagnosis. the CT scanner must go through an approval process, which is still in its earliest stage. The process includes proof of need by the community, which includes fundraising support, endorsement by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, and permission from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
“The importance of a CT scanner to quality of care makes it a priority for AGH,” says Mary Wilson Trider, AGH President and CEO. “In order to offer the best possible care to the communities we serve,” says Wilson Trider, “we must keep up with technological advances, which means providing the best available diagnostic tools for our health care team.”

Friends drove Sharron to Ottawa every day to visit Eric during her recovery period, until she was able to drive again. “Those two months were dreadful,” Sharron recalls. “It’s been so much better since Eric was moved back here.”
Now Sharron visits Eric daily, as do other family members. Three of Eric’s “coffee buddies” also drop in twice a week for an afternoon chat. Then there are regular workout sessions in the AGH’s
Physiotherapy Department where physio staff play a CD of country music that Eric recorded back in 2014. The CD’s title, That Foghorn Sound, recalls Eric’s childhood in Conception Bay, Newfoundland. Eric, who retired in 2000 at the age of 60, used to sing and play guitar and violin with local musicians before the accident. He even fondly recalls performing for patients and residents at AGH and the Fairview Manor over the years. Now he is on the receiving end of those recreational visits from community-minded entertainers. Just one more benefit of being here at AGH, close to home.
Ottawa storyteller Kim Kilpatrick will bring her one-woman show, “Flying in the Dark,” to the Almonte General Hospital’s Octagon Room on May 27 at 7 p.m.
Blind since birth but fiercely independent, Kilpatrick provides a humorous, yet compelling description of her childhood and early adult years in “Flying in the Dark.” Kilpatrick started competitive swimming at a young age and won medals at two Summer Paralympics Games, in 1980 and 1984. In recent years, her popularity as a storyteller has led to performances

AGH launches $4-million Put Yourself in the Picture campaign to ensure patients have access to the best in diagnostic imaging “Put Yourself in the Picture” is what representatives of the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor Foundation are asking community members to do in an effort to raise $ 4 million for new diagnostic imaging equipment at the Hospital.
“AGH counts 100 percent on funding from the Foundation to ensure our staff has reliable, up-to-date equipment with which to treat our patients,” said Mary Wilson Trider, President & CEO. “We have recently purchased two new digital ultrasound machines, a new portable, digital X-ray machine and a new digital X-ray suite, all of which cost the Hospital
$1.8 million. We are now counting on the Foundation to pay off loans for these vital tools as quickly as possible to minimize our borrowing costs.”
The Hospital moved to purchase the new equipment because both the old ultrasound machine and the old X-ray equipment were more than 10 years old. Finding replacement parts was becoming increasingly difficult and wait times for ultrasound were becoming too long. Plus, the new equipment is better for the patients. “The image quality in digital machines provides better diagnostic accuracy,” said Dr. Chris Deschenes, Chief of Staff at AGH.
AGH also intends to purchase a CT scanner, subject to the approval of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (CLHIN) and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Part of the approval process depends on confirming a funding source. The AGH-FVM Foundation has committed to raising $2.2 million to pay for this new and urgently needed diagnostic tool. AGH currently does not have CT scanning so patients requiring a CT scan are sent to another hospital.
Long-time Almonte residents Paul and Rhonda Virgin were announced as Put Yourself in the Picture campaign cochairs. They were then presented with three cheques: • The staff, volunteers, board members and physicians at AGH and the Fairview Manor have raised $100,000 to date through a “Family” or internal campaign.
• Long-time Hospital and Manor supporters Art and Helen Levi presented the Virgins with a cheque for $250,000 as lead donors to the campaign.

Long-time Hospital and Manor supporters Art and Helen Levi “Quality health care is part of what makes a community a place to put down roots and raise a family,” said Co-Chair Rhonda Virgin. “We can never take our quality of life for granted and must continuously work together to maintain and enhance it.”
“That’s why we are asking individuals, businesses, groups, schools and community organizations to join us and to ‘put themselves in the picture’,” said Co-Chair Paul Virgin.

Get in the swing for AGH golf tourney on June 16 Golf enthusiasts, take note! Registration is now open for the 2017 Almonte General Hospital Golf Classic, which will be held on Friday, June 16. Guido Patrice, owner of Your Independent Grocer in Almonte, returns this year as chair of the 15th annual golf tourney after a few years’ hiatus. “I am very excited and proud to be chair of this year’s AGH golf tournament,” said Patrice. “There is something special about not only the AGH, but this golf tournament, and especially the people who support it, volunteer and play in it. We are so fortunate to have a hospital in our community that offers the highest care for the people it serves,” Patrice added. The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m. and includes a barbecue lunch, an 18-hole round of golf, a shared golf cart and steak dinner, as well as a silent auction, a live auction, a 50-50 draw, and several other contests and prizes. The tourney is the centrepiece of the AGH-FVM Foundation’s annual fundraising campaign, said Joyce Delahunt, chair of the Fundraising Committee for the AGH-FVM’s Foundation. “Last year, the campaign raised $60,000. We’re expecting to outdo that total this year,” Delahunt said, adding that the funds will go to the purchase of new diagnostic imaging equipment for AGH. “The event has always attracted a large crowd of golf enthusiasts,” said Delahunt. “We greatly appreciate everyone who contributes to this worthwhile event, from the players to the sponsors, and everyone who works on planning, organizing and the game itself.” The main sponsors this year are Karson Konstruction, Bank of Montreal, Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. in Carleton Place and Levi Home Hardware Building Centre in Almonte.

Campaign co-chairs aim to put community in AGH fundraising picture “As our communities grow, AGH needs to expand health care services to meet our population’s needs. New diagnostic imaging equipment is a critical part of providing quality health care.” He points to increasing demand for obstetrical services in recent years, with patients coming from as far as Renfrew and Ottawa, which also has increased demand for ultrasounds. “As well, the Emergency Department had roughly 15,000 patient visits last year,” Paul says. “We need appropriate diagnostic imaging services to accommodate this demand.”
Broken bones, stitches, concussions, any number of childhood illnesses—you name it. Paul and Rhonda Virgin have lots of memories of panicked visits to the AGH Emergency Department while they were raising their four children in Almonte. And then in 2004, Paul’s father suffered a stroke. And Paul himself was diagnosed with a blood clot in 2014. Over the years, and now with four generations of family living in Mississippi Mills and surrounding communities, the Virgins clearly understand the AGH’s importance to area residents. That’s why they have agreed to cochair Put Yourself in the Picture, a new fundraising campaign for the AGHFVM Foundation. The campaign aims to raise $4 million to pay for muchneeded equipment in the AGH’s Digital Imaging Department, including two digital X-ray machines (one of which is portable), two ultrasound machines and a CT scanner. Purchase of the CT scanner must go through an approval process, which is still in its earliest stage. The process includes proof of need by the community, which includes fundraising support, endorsement by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, and permission from the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care. “Over the years, our whole family has used the AGH,” Rhonda says, “including ourselves, our four children, our grandchildren and Paul’s parents. We love the quality of care that AGH provides in our community and the fact
Front Row: Grayson, Paul, Jack, Rhonda and Sophia Virgin. Back Row: Kristina Myers, Kyle Virgin, Becky & Dustin Littau, Leslie & Blake Virgin. Supporting AGH but not in this picture: Florence Virgin, Sean Virgin & Laurier Dalton. that we don’t have to travel to the city for health care.” “In fact, our family has used almost every section of AGH,” adds Paul, “from the Obstetrics Unit to the Medical/Surgical Unit, the Emergency Department, Diagnostic Imaging and Physiotherapy. Our granddaughter Sophie was born at AGH. We sat in the waiting room for 16 hours for her delivery. And our son Sean was born there, too. Now my mother, Florence, is a resident in Fairview Manor. We travelled to Kanata for eight months until a spot at FVM opened up for her. That really made us appreciate what we have in our community.”
The Virgins are longtime volunteers for the AGH. Paul has served on the AGH Board since 2005, and was Board Chair from 2014 to 2016, while Rhonda has worked in a variety of roles “from helping with fundraisers like the spring balls and house tours to decorating for AGH Christmas parties.” Paul, who was born and raised in Almonte, says that raising funds for the new equipment is not only vital to quality patient care at AGH, but an important investment in the success of Mississippi Mills and its surrounding communities.
PUT YOURSELF IN THE PICTURE
As a longtime owner of a local life insurance and segregated fund business, Paul is well attuned to the vital role AGH plays in the area’s economic success. “When people decide to move here, they consider four requirements— affordability of housing and access to education, to recreation and to health care facilities,” Paul says. “And health care is probably the most important part of that equation. Whether they are young families or older people, everyone needs health care.” He points out that just as AGH must keep pace with the expanding health care needs of the communities it serves, AGH needs the support of those communities to improve health care services. Provincial funding for hospitals doesn’t extend to equipment, Paul adds. “We need to raise the funds to pay for our new DI equipment. That won’t get done by anyone else, but the people here, in our communities.”

Paddle up some family fun at AGH’s Canada Day water challenge! in the 1976 Olympics as a sprint canoeist.
Water races will include a 300-metre two-person canoe sprint, a 300-metre one-person kayak race and a 150-metre standing paddle board race. Finalists in each category then compete for a winner in an overall race.
Canada Day festivities will make a big splash in Almonte this year with Paddle for the Almonte General Hospital, a special event organized by the AGHFVM Foundation to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Paddle for the AGH offers a variety of boating competitions mixed with lots of family activities, said Joyce Delahunt, Fundraising Committee chair for the Foundation, adding that proceeds go to the Put Yourself in the Picture campaign to raise funds for much-needed diagnostic imaging equipment at AGH. “It should be a wonderful day for all the family,” Delahunt said. “People can participate in a variety of water sport events, pledge support for a team, or just sit back and watch the fun.”
Six paddling events are included in the water sports program. A five-kilometre community paddle to Appleton Wetland and back will be led by Mississippi Mills Councillor John Edwards, who competed
The make-your-own raft competition offers the biggest challenge to boating enthusiasts. Four-person crews must assemble their own rafts on site and then race them in three-raft heats with the fastest team from each heat competing in a final race. The fun begins at 6 a.m. when raft teams can bring their materials to the Almonte Fairgrounds to start assembly.
“Paddle for AGH is a great opportunity for people in the community to challenge one another to some good-hearted fun, and to form boating teams or raise pledges from colleagues, teachers, students or local businesses,” Delahunt said. “It’s not only a wonderful event to celebrate Canada’s birthday and our historic Mississippi River, but a great opportunity to support our hospital.”
General admission to the Almonte Fairgrounds is $5, or $20 for a family. The event begins at 6 a.m. and ends at noon, so be sure to arrive early! For more information and to register for water sports events, please go to www. almontehospitalfoundation.com/Paddle or call the AGH-FVM Foundation office at 613-256-2500 ext. 2296. With online registration, participants can complete their own pledge web pages.
…a wonderful event to celebrate Canada’s birthday and… a great opportunity to support our hospital. But water sports aren’t the only activities planned for this Canada Day extravaganza. For landlubbers, childrens’ activities include games dating back to 150 years ago. Music will be provided by a local band called Cratur. As well, visitors can buy breakfast on site, served up by the Lion’s Club.

Put Yourself in the Picture 365 days a year: Join our Circle of Friends monthly giving society Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor have a very special society of supporters, and we’d like you to join them. Circle of Friends donors make a monthly donation because they know that the Hospital is there for them 24/7, 365 days a year, and they want to be there for the Hospital every day of the year, too. Last year, for instance, our Birthing Centre had close to 500 deliveries. That averages out to more than one baby born each day.
Our Emergency Department had more than 15,000 visits in 2016. That averages out to 41 patients seeking treatment in the ER each day of the year.
Almost every medical journey begins with an accurate diagnosis, which means our Diagnostic Imaging Department sees patients every day, too. Last year, 4,551 ultrasound examinations were conducted; that’s about 12 per day. Our X-ray staff was even busier with about 18 per day, totalling 6,701 for all of 2016.
The Put Yourself in the Picture campaign is the perfect time for you to join our special Circle of Friends monthly giving society. Your support will mean better quality images, faster more accurate diagnostic tests, shorter wait times and better health care closer to home. Your donation will automatically be withdrawn each month or put on your credit card (good if you
collect reward points!). At the end of the year, you will receive one income tax receipt, which cuts down on our overhead expenses as well. You can cancel your monthly gift any time by contacting our office. If you join now you will receive special recognition to help show others that “You’re in the Picture” for health care close to home.
This offer is only available to Circle of Friends society members to thank them for their ongoing, monthly support, and so they can show people how much they care about the care provided at the Almonte General Hospital.

Almonte’s Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church marks 175 years in 2017
Submitted photo
A memorial tree was planted April 30 at Orchard View by the Mississippi in Almonte, for late local resident Bill Barrie, who passed away last month. Above, family and friends gather for the planting. From left: Ingrid Draayer, Shirley Fulton, Al Potvin, Brodie Barrie, Julie Eaves, Ainsley Barrie (unseen in baby stroller), Jay Parr, Ron Stewart, Regina Stewart, Bob Pugh, Thora Pugh and Bill Barrie Jr.
Deep roots, widespread – a tribute to Almonte resident Bill Barrie There could be no finer memorial to Almonte resident Bill Barrie than to plant a tree. Bill was a person whose influence spread far and wide, not unlike the canopy of a large tree. A quiet man with a spirited sense of humour, Bill left a lasting legacy for his community. A sapling was planted in his memory on April 30 at Orchard View by the Mississippi in Almonte. Bill’s military career through the Second World War was something out of a vintage movie. He was one of a select group that developed radar for the allied forces. North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Europe were only the starting points for Bill’s adventures, which finally took him to India as a specialist in radar technology. When Bill returned to Canada, his wife Betty soon followed, and in 1946, they were married in Galt, Ont. The next few years were extremely busy, with Bill studying radio physics in London, Ont., the basis for his ongoing love of communications. Bill was never happier than when he was surrounded by electronics: radar parts, radio tubes, antennas, all contributing to his inventions of amplifiers, sound systems and radar equipment. He worked on the Cold War project to design the Arctic
radar detection system to detect transpolar Soviet aircraft advancing on North America, later called the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line. A year in Alaska was a far cry from Pakistan. A little known fact that’s closer to home: Bill designed the sound system used to this day in the Senate chamber of Canada to allow full audio access to senators. The system was inaugurated by the Queen in 1957 — the same year Bill moved to Ottawa to develop a communication lab that morphed into space work that included the Canadarm with Spar engineering. From here to the moon could have been Bill’s motto. Retirement for Bill and his wife Betty didn’t include a life of indolence. With a lively family, a cottage at White Lake and myriad interests, Bill never lost his love of radio. Keeping up with his radar acquaintances, amateur radio enthusiasts and his community, he embraced modern technology, computers and a laptop to stay up-to-date on everything. Almonte was the richer for Bill’s involvement. Besides his membership in the local amateur radio club, he was an active choir member for many years, could play a mean harmonica, loved to cross-country ski and was active in a think-
tank group of colleagues. He was involved in research projects tracking Canadian military, especially those unsung heroes who were involved in secret work rarely mentioned. He was a contributor to the Pier 21 project in Halifax, and RCAF histories which are on display at the Canadian War Museum. He immersed himself in local projects, including the plan to bring Syrians to the community. Bill could speak several languages and didn’t hesitate to launch into conversation with strangers, who warmed to him immediately. The move to a retirement home offered Bill a new opportunity to share his enthusiasm for life with all who knew him. He was a gracious, loving man who rose to the challenges of new adventures — no matter if they were major world-changing or small moments of joy. His sapling tree will grow and flourish, like Bill himself, to spread its canopy of influence over many generations while it settles deep roots in this community that was fortunate to have been Bill and Betty Barrie’s home in their last years. The family and all who knew Bill and Betty Barrie are grateful that Orchard View on the Mississippi has seen fit to develop a memorial garden to honour beloved local residents.

This year marks the 175th anniversary of Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church in Almonte. A full 25 years before Confederation the then Holy Mary Catholic Church began serving Catholic folks in Ramsayville (named Almonte in 1856) and the surrounding area. The church was built on one and a half acres of land gifted by Daniel Shipman. It was a wood frame structure, 40 by 60 feet, clapboarded outside, and lathed and plastered inside. Some years later on Christmas night 1868, flames were seen leaping from the windows of the church. Firefighting methods were very poor in those days and the church was quickly reduced to ashes. The church was insured by the Beaver Company of Toronto and the sum of $1,514.66 was promptly paid by the insurer. After 26 years of service, the old church was now a memory. It was time to rebuild the church from stone — Lanark County stone. A meeting was convened January 6, 1869 to elect a building committee. A subscription list was opened for people to
donate money. A number of "bees" were organized to gather sleighs and horses to pull stone to the building site. The building committee decided to increase the width of the new church by 10 feet. The final dimensions were to be 90 by 50 feet with a tower of 16 by 15 feet. A Mr. Andrew Bell was appointed architect to draw up plans and tenders were advertised in the Almonte Gazette, the Carleton Place Herald, Ottawa times, Brockville Recorder and Perth Courier. The contract to build was awarded to the firms of William Willoughby and Oakley. The cornerstone for the new church was laid the June 29, 1869. Building continued throughout the summer and autumn under James Moore, a master mason. In 1873 the decision was taken to build a sacristy for the church and house for the parish priest. This work was completed in 1873. The final significant project involved purchasing and hanging the church bell(s). The parishioners decided to hang a peal of three bells rather than a single large bell. The
bells were purchased from and shipped by the firm of H.M. Shane & Co. of Baltimore, Maryland. The names and weights of the peal bells were St. Mary (1,200 pounds), St. Anne (600 pounds) and St. Patrick (350 pounds) The current day parishioners will stage a few events during the year to celebrate this remarkable achievement. There will be a day of celebration Sept. 17 to include a morning mass presided over by Archbishop Terrance Prendergast, Archbishop of Ottawa, followed by a special luncheon at the Almonte Civitan Hall. Other events are in the planning stage, including a dinner and dance, with proceeds going to local charities, a commemorative cookbook, special Sunday mass June 25 for the children and teachers of Holy Name of Mary Elementary School, as well as other events. Holy Name of Mary pastor Rev. Paul Gaudet invites parishioners and the communities of Mississippi Mills to join us in marking this very significant achievement. Submitted by Jim Moore

Carambeck Community Garden takes shape in Carleton Place Not only does the rain keep coming, but so do the grants for community gardening. The Hunger Stop — Lanark County Food Bank was delighted to learn that we are the recipient of a 2017 Scotts Miracle-Gro GRO1000 Grassroots Grants. This grant was awarded to create a community garden in the space behind the Carambeck Community Centre, directly in front of the Youth Centre and TR Leger School. Given the delays at the St. Gregory site we have decided to move up the timing for the Carambeck garden. We have now scheduled our big construction day for Saturday, May 13 (with a rain date of Sunday, May 14). We will be starting at 9 a.m. and continuing until we are done. Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos has agreed to come
and say a few words at noon. We are also trying to arrange a service club to provide a barbecue. Come for an hour or two, or all day. Bring your wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes! If construction finishes early, some volunteers are hoping to move down the road to St. Gregory and demolish the existing rotting boxes. The Town of Carleton Place has provided an opportunity for The Hunger Stop to expand our gardening program into a recreational/educational complex owned by the town and located in a central location. This is a community gathering spot with a large swimming pool, daycare, dog park, youth centre and an alternative high school. The site provides an ample sunny area, ample parking and access to town water. This project will
enable a much longer gardening season and hence a much greater contribution to food security. The location of the project at a busy community hub creates intergenerational learning and mentoring opportunities. The proximity of the youth centre and the school places them in the centre of the proposed garden. The gardening program will help meet key objectives of the youth centre and the school as well as serve food bank clients and the general public. At the heart of the program will be a hoop house (an unheated greenhouse) that will enable gardeners to extend the gardening season to close to ten months versus the five or six months in an outdoor garden in the Ottawa Valley. There will also be additional outdoor growing boxes
for vegetables and pollinator plants. A space for shrubs and small fruit trees will also be created. Gardening programs will be developed in conjunction with the youth group and the school that are keen to see these programs developed. It is planned to get youth involved in the day-to-day activities required. In the second year of a program, it is hoped to add additional beds, and create a social enterprise with the youth growing produce and selling it at a stall at the local farmers' market. We see this initiative as a very important one as it is a real partnership between the town, food bank, youth centre, TR Leger Alternative School, community volunteers and business sponsors. We believe that this project will have real results in address-
ing food security issues in our region, educating the population on related issues, and raising awareness of how individuals, businesses and communities can make a real difference in both the lives of those around us and in our own lives.

Women’s League1 soccer kicks off at Beckwith Park Ottawa’s first ever League1 Ontario women’s match was played on May 7 at Beckwith Park in Beckwith. West Ottawa Soccer Club was awarded the team at the end of 2016, and is one of three new teams added to the women’s league for the 2017 season. They will play the Vaughan Azzurri in the home opener at Beckwith Park. The Azzurri finished fourth in league play last year and they also won the 2016 L1 Cup. League1 is the only pro-am, standards-based senior league in Ontario, and provides a pathway from youth and amateur to professional leagues. West Ottawa will be the only club in the women’s division from the eastern Ontario region. “From a technical stand-point this will address a gap in the pathway for female soccer players in the region,” said club technical director and team head coach Kristina Kiss. “There are plenty of talented players out there looking for Submitted photo the next level of competition and I look forward to working with The technical staff of the West Ottawa Soccer Club League1 women’s team. From left: Kwame Telemaque, Kristina Kiss and Andrei Badescu.

made 75 appearances for the Canadian Women’s National Team from 2000 to 2008. She is joined by former professional player Kwame Telemaque and goalkeeper coach Andrei Badescu, who has worked with the Montreal Impact. West Ottawa Soccer Club was created in 2010 with the merge of the Kanata and Goulbourn soccer clubs. It is the second largest club in North America, with over 8,500 members each year. Admission to the team’s games is free for youth soccer players that wear their jerseys to the game, all others are $5 cash at the door. “All of council is pretty excited, Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd said. “It is a highlight for our park.” He compared League1 Ontario to the calibre of a junior A hockey team. “These games will bring people from all across Ontario to our area,” the reeve continued. A bonus: The matches will be played during hours that the field is not traditionally booked. In terms of economic development, “all those teams that travel need to eat somewhere,” Kidd said.

Art in the Attic unveils buckyball project That title certainly begs two questions — “What is Art in the Attic?” and “What is a buckyball?” Art in the Attic (AITA) is the main art show and sale for the Almonte and Area Artists’ Association that takes place on Mother's Day weekend, Friday, May 12 (7 to 9 p.m.), Saturday, May 13 (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.), Sunday, May 14 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), at Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St. Admission is free. More than two dozen local artists, including many returning favourites as well as a number of new and exciting members, will be participating in the show. Back by popular demand, special guests include the Rugrat Rembrandts, a display by Ontario Early Years Centre Lanark of some of the fantastic works of preschoolers. Once again, the Notre Dame High School art students will also be showcasing their young and exciting talents which never cease to astound attendees. When we say that Art In The Attic is where artists of all age and experiences celebrate our creativity, we really mean it. We have artists from age four to over 84; from self-taught to those with post baccalaureates in art from the National University of Ireland. But we all share the same passion for creating and showcasing our art, and we want you to come out and experience that joy with us. This show is also a wonderful opportunity to pick up some fabulous pieces at great prices! Of course, the best selection is on opening night on Friday, May 12. At 7:45 p.m. we will have a fashion show by local designer AVENIR. Models are prominent women in our community, with hair designs by the Mane Door and make up by Doreen’s Esthetics. Models will incorporate art pieces into their “runway walks” on stage and among the art displays. We will also have live music by local musical group Shipman Mill throughout the evening. And on Friday evening, we will
development of this area — such a fitting commemorative choice. Each artist has represented one of the textile mills in their own medium and style on a panel which have then all been assembled into the buckyball. And as we believe in giving back to our community, the buckyball will be donated to the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte after the show. Look for sneak peeks of our works in storefront windows of Almonte downtown merchants the first two weeks of May. Visitors to AITA during the weekend are invited to linger longer and make it a day. Take time after the show to visit historic and picturesque downtown Almonte, walk the Riverwalk, shop the unique boutiques, visit the local museums, or take in many of the local experiences. We have even put together a guide on our website: www.almonteartintheattic. wordpress.com.

NOTICE – WATER MAIN FLUSHING ALMONTE WARD May 23 – June 23, 2017 The Corporation of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills will be flushing the water mains in all areas of Almonte Ward beginning Monday, May 23rd, 2017 to Friday, June 23rd, 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 kilometre’s 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.

Detachment commander: No plans for Naloxone kits in county OPP cruisers BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Lanark County OPP officers will not be carrying Naloxone kits in their cruisers any time soon. “We are not, as of yet,” said Lanark County OPP detachment commander Insp. Derek Needham, during the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting in the Mississippi Mills council chambers on Wednesday, April 5. “There may be discussions (at the provincial level) but I don’t think you will see us carrying them any time soon.” Naloxone is a drug administered to someone in the midst of a fentanyl overdose, and which can help buy time until the person is taken to hospital. Public health bodies, such as the Lanark County paramedics service and the Leeds, Grenville, and Lanark

from Ottawa. However, Sgt. Byron Newell, who was also in attendance, said that if police suspect that, for example, a driver is under the influence of drugs they can still get the driver off the road with a temporary roadside suspension. Locally, two more officers have been reassigned from his ranks to the drug unit, but when it comes to matters like recognizing people who are under the influence of drugs, that training is a lot harder to get for his officers. “It’s a fairly time-consuming and expensive process to get,” he said, since his officers have to be sent to the United States for drug recognition training. Some of the training takes place in prisons in the Deep South, during intake day, when some inmates might still be under the influence.

Four auto maintenance mistakes to avoid this spring There’s no getting around it: if you want your car to run smoothly for years to come, you need to perform some basic upkeep. Start this spring off on the right foot by avoiding these maintenance faux pas. 1. CHANGING YOUR TIRES AT THE WRONG TIME Changing your tires as soon as the snow starts to melt is a risky bet. Play it safe and wait until snowstorm warnings wind down and the temperature outside climbs above 7 °C. Anything lower, and the rubber on your summer tires will stiffen and lose traction. It’s an equally bad idea to keep your winter tires on year-round. Not only are snow tires less efficient than summer models, but you’ll also wear them out twice as fast if you don’t make the switch. 2. NEGLECTING SPRING TUNE-UPS Over the winter, the fluids that keep your car running smoothly are put to the test. It’s important to check their levels come spring and to refill as needed. Don’t forget to take a peek beneath your car as well; rough winter roads often take a toll on your vehicle’s underbelly. 3. PUTTING OFF SPRING CLEANING There’s more to a good spring cleaning than a shiny, sleek car. Dirt and salt accumulated over the winter can damage the paint and cause rust to form, so get scrubbing without delay. 4. LUGGING AROUND WINTER GEAR Bags of sand or salt, shovels, traction aids and ski racks all increase the weight and wind resistance of your car, which drives up fuel consumption. Still not eager to wash your car this spring? Get ready for rust. You’ve been warned!

Chevrolet makes a move on the electric car market
Chevrolet has welcomed several new arrivals to its lineup this year, including the 2018 Equinox, the 2018 Traverse, the hatchback Cruze and the all-new Bolt EV. In the budget category, the new Sonic and Trax models now feature the same design elements as the rest of the brand’s offerings. Fans of sports cars will be happy to hear that the Corvette Grand Sport is making a comeback this year as the Camaro continues to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.
The electric car: your ticket to cheaper maintenance While there’s no question that electric cars are significantly more eco-friendly — and less noisy — than their conventional gas-powered counterparts, consumers are often turned off by their price tag. Going the green route, however, could mean more money in your pocket long-term: in addition to cutting fuel costs, electric cars require much less maintenance than other vehicles. FEWER PARTS, FEWER PROBLEMS Electric cars are built with considerably fewer parts than gaspowered vehicles. For you, the consumer, this translates into minimal upkeep and fewer repairs over your car’s lifespan.
TRAVERSE The 2018 Traverse has been redesigned from bumper to bumper. New-generation models stand out from the GMC Acadia thanks to a spacious interior that can accommodate up to eight passengers as well as an improved towing capacity, which now reaches 2,268 kilograms. Two engines are available for the Traverse, namely a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder and a 3.6L V6. CULT CLASSIC TURNS 50 The Camaro turned 50 in September 2016. To celebrate, the iconic ZL1 model (both the coupe and the cabriolet) was given a supercharged 650-horsepower 6.2L V8 with 650 lb.-ft. of torque. Its driveline can be coupled with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an all-new automatic 10-speed.
While you might still have to check your tire pressure and wheel alignment on occasion, at least you can say goodbye to regular oil changes! Yes, electric cars are more expensive than gas-guzzlers at the time of purchase, but they provide a healthier return on investment and allow you to save on maintenance and repair costs down the line — all while helping to preserve the planet!

BOLT EV Chevrolet’s most anticipated release this year was the Bolt EV. Powered by an entirely electric engine and a 60-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that outputs an estimated 200 horsepower, this subcompact hatchback boasts a 383-kilometre range and can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in less than seven seconds. EQUINOX The Equinox is Chevrolet’s second best-selling vehicle, after the Silverado pickup. This year’s model is 180 kilograms lighter than the previous one and offers a choice of three engine configurations: a 4-cylinder 1.5L turbo, a 4-cylinder 2.0L turbo, and an all-new diesel-powered 2.0L 4-cylinder that’s also available in the new Cruze.
Of course, you’ll still have to replace standard items like tires, brakes and windshield wipers; but spark plugs, exhaust pipes, gas pumps, oil filters and generators are just a few components that you won’t find in a vehicle that runs solely on electricity.

The CT6 is 22 centimetres longer than its sister, the CTS, and feels like a true limousine thanks to goodies like the Rear Seat Infotainment system featuring 10-inch HD screens. Heating and cooling seats with adjustable back support add to the vehicle’s overall luxury. Several engines are available for the CT6, namely a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder (265 horsepower); a 3.6L V6 (335 horsepower); and a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (404 horsepower). All engines are mated to an automatic 8-speed transmission. The rechargeable hybrid model is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L gas engine, an electric motor and an 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack (for a combined output of 335 horsepower), and can go from

Honda continues its winning streak
LEASING GENERALLY OFFERS LOWER PAYMENTS OVER A SHORTER TIME THAN FINANCING.
Honda has been on a roll lately. At last year’s Detroit Auto Show, its Civic was named North American Car of the Year, while its Pilot was first runner up for the title of North American Utility Vehicle of the Year. The Ridgeline is doing stellar as well, having recently won the North American Truck of the Year award for 2017.
RIDGELINE Honda continues to do things differently when it comes to its only pickup model, once again making sure the Ridgeline’s driving experience and build stand out from the competition. The truck’s standard engine is a 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 with 262 lb.-ft. of torque. Its smart all-wheel drive system lets drivers choose between various modes such as normal, snow, sand and mud.
The Ridgeline’s In-Bed Trunk
The new Ridgeline still incorporates previous features like the In-Bed Trunk and its ingenious dual-action tailgate. What’s more, the bed has been both lengthened and widened to facilitate the transportation of large items like ATVs and sheets of drywall. The Ridgeline can carry up to 713 kilograms in the bed and has a 2,268-kilogram towing capacity.
A NEW CR-V The CR-V underwent a complete redesign this year. In addition to a sportier look, front and back LED lights were added to its exterior, giving it a more modern appearance. The wheelbase was extended by four centimetres to offer more room for passengers, and the interior decor has been revisited to include higher-quality materials. Under the hood is a new 190-horsepower turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder engine.
LEASING REQUIRES YOU TO PAY FOR ONLY A PORTION OF THE VEHICLE’S VALUE. SALES TAXES ARE APPLICABLE TO YOUR ONGOING PAYMENTS MEANING YOU DON’T NEED TO PAY ALL TAXES UPFRONT.
COMPARED TO FINANCING, LEASING FREES UP MORE OF YOUR MONEY AND KEEPS MORE OF IT IN YOUR WALLET. NEW VEHICLE. MORE OFTEN.
Your taste and needs may change, and a short-term lease can make it easier to drive a new vehicle more frequently.

Five major causes Prep your ATV of car accidents for the season
Risky behaviour increases the number of traffic accidents on our roads. To get you thinking, here are the top five human-related causes of vehicle collisions.
1. FATIGUE Statistics show that an unfathomable number of car crashes — many of which are deadly — happen because drivers fall asleep. Remember that taking a 15 to 30-minute nap before you hit the road could save your life! 3. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS A driver who has been drinking or is under 2.

Unless your vehicle is a total loss, you’ll have to bring it to a mechanic to have its original appearance restored. Only then will you be able to forget about the unpleasant event that brought you there in the first place.
ATVs and UTVs can be great fun for the entire family. However, they can be hazardous if the vehicles are not functioning and in good repair prior to the first excursion. Whether the vehicle is new or older, owners should take the time to inspect and troubleshoot potential problems.
BATTERY A dead battery can be a real downer for riders enjoying the great outdoors. Battery tender products are a good idea for those who typically store their ATVs for longer than a week. Be sure a battery is the right size and type for the vehicle.
TIRES As with any vehicle, tires should be properly inflated according to the specifications in the owner’s manual. Ensure there are no slow leaks before taking the ATV out, and replace tires if necessary.
VISUAL INSPECTION When looking at the ATV, check for holes, corrosion, tears, and other damage to fuel lines, CV boots and other connections on the vehicle. Fix them promptly and before going out for the season.
OILS AND FLUIDS Take the time to check fluid levels before going out. If it has been quite some time since the most recent oil change, make that part of your 4. RECKLESS DRIVING seasonal preparation.

Motorcycle riding is an exhilarating pastime, especially when the passion is shared among a community of enthusiasts. With spring soon to be in full bloom, bikers across the country are gearing up to hit the road, engines roaring.
Your tires are your lifeline, so choosing the right set for your driving needs is crucial. Do you ride in the rain? How much ground do you cover each year? Do you ever venture off-road? Investing in proper gear can greatly reduce your risk of injury.
White is one of the safest colour choices for helmets because it’s highly visible to other motorists.
Here are a few interesting facts about motorcycles! Motorcycle enthusiasts all agree: insects can be a real nuisance and cause serious harm at high speeds. Wear a good pair of sunglasses or a helmet with a visor to protect your eyes against pesky bugs.
Riding motorcycles is more than a hobby — it’s a pop culture staple, too. Easy Rider, On Any Sunday, Hell Ride, The Wild One, Hells Angels on Wheels, Electra Glide in Blue and 12 O’Clock Boys are just a few excellent films inspired by biker subculture.

Riding a motorcycle is a thrilling activity that comes with its fair share of gambles. According to the World Health Organization, wearing a motorcycle helmet can reduce the risk of accidental death by 40% and the risk of severe injury by 70%.

No matter how thrilling the ride may be, it’s important to remain vigilant when out on the road. Oil slicks greatly reduce traction (especially in high heat or just before a downpour), while humid weather can make road surface markings slippery.

How to avoid hot weather automotive breakdowns When the weather warms, many people take to the outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and rising temperatures. Summer road trips or vacations are the norm, but it is important to realize that hot weather can take its toll even on a new, well-maintained vehicle. High temperatures can cause all sorts of damage to a vehicle, from zapping battery power to overtaxing the cooling system. Recognizing potential hot-weather risks and performing routine checks on the vehicle are the keys to keeping vehicles in top form.
BATTERY Excessive heat can shorten the life of a battery because it causes battery fluid to evaporate more quickly. This, in turn, can damage the internal structure of the battery. AAA reports that car battery issues are the most common breakdown calls. It’s a good idea to top off a battery with distilled water if it is the kind that requires it. Low-maintenance batteries may not have filler caps and will not require water. Inspect the battery for corrosion and leakage of battery acid. This could be a sign that the battery is getting old and will need to be replaced. TIRES Hot weather causes the pressure inside of tires to rise. Overinflated tires can wear down prematurely or result in blowouts. The Car Care Council recommends checking tire pressure routinely in the summer, when tires are cold. Follow the guidelines in the owner’s manual for recommended air pressure. Look for improper tread wear, weak spots or other tire damage that may end up causing flats. PACK WITH BREAKDOWNS IN MIND Plan ahead for potential summer breakdowns by bringing along water, snacks, sunscreen, and an emergency medical kit. Be sure mobile phones are fully charged and that the number of a tow service or roadside assistance crew is entered into your list of contacts in the event of an emergency.
FLUID LEVELS Hot weather can put extra demand on all fluids and engine components. Check transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and engine oil levels. Top off or change when necessary.
COOLING SYSTEM Cooling systems work hard to keep the flow of air to the engine and prevent it from overheating during warm seasons. Compromised cooling fans or lack of coolant can be troublesome. To avoid overheating, check coolant levels before getting on the road. In addition, have the cooling system checked by a trained mechanic prior to the summer driving season. It’s a small price to pay to avoid extensive engine damage from overheating.
POLISH Protect your car from UV rays and acid rain with a professionally applied sealant that’ll also restore lustrous shine to your paint job. SEALING To protect against stains and fading, car care experts can apply a sealant to the fabric of your seats that stops dirt and messes from penetrating into the fibres.

Avalanche of new arrivals at Kia The past few months have been a whirlwind of unveilings for Kia with the early-2017 reveal of new generations of the Cadenza, Forte and Sportage, and the Korean manufacturer isn’t planning on slowing down any time soon. In addition to the allnew Niro, the 2018 model year marks the debut of a next-generation Kia Rio and a fresh four-door version of the Stinger coupe.

NIRO The Niro, a hybrid-powered hatchback crossover, is in direct competition with the Toyota Prius V and the Ford C-MAX. Under the hood is 104-horsepower 1.6L Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine coupled with a 43-horsepower electric motor, for a total output of 139 horsepower
4-cylinder engine has also been tweaked to reduce fuel consumption and enhance mid-range torque.
and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. Kia is also planning to release a rechargeable hybrid model in the near future.
CADENZA Another new-and-improved model of note is the Cadenza, which was entirely redesigned by Kia’s California studios. The spacious sedan now sports a more dynamic look with its new grille and headlight designs. Its structure has been reinforced for improved comfort and handling, and its interior now offers more legroom for passengers. Finally, the Cadenza’s 3.3L V6 engine has been modernized and is now coupled with a new 8-speed automatic transmission.
RIO 5 As for the new Rio 5, its body has been redesigned to achieve a sportier look, while its wheelbase was extended to provide extra legroom and better handling in all conditions. Similarly, new models sport a reinforced chassis, a firmer suspension and better steering. Their 1.6L
STINGER As for the spectacular 2018 Stinger, which is shaping up to be a solid rival of the Audi A4 and BMW 3-series, buyers can choose between two engine configurations: a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder (255 horsepower) and a 3.3L twin-turbo V6 (365 horsepower).

Safe driving tips for teen drivers • Use the headlights. Many cars now feature daytime running lights. For those that don’t, engage the headlights when driving. Using headlights increases visibility and helps other drivers see approaching vehicles, even during the daytime.
Earning a driver’s license is a milestone in a young person’s life.

Parents may have mixed feelings about their children getting their drivers’ licenses. Although many parents recognize the convenience of having another licensed driver in the house, it’s understandable if moms and dads are weary about inexperienced children behind the wheel.

The Canadian Automobile Association states that drivers in Canada between the ages 16 and 19 years have a fatality rate that is more than four times as high as that of drivers between the ages of 25 and 34 and nine times as high as that of drivers between the ages 45 and 54.

• Stick to easy parking for now. New drivers can opt to park in spaces that have plenty of room or allow for pulling out (rather than backing out). This can improve visibility and reduce the risk of hitting other vehicles. Driving is exciting for newly licensed teens. but parents must emphasize the importance of defensive driving to their young drivers.
