Bike Month to be celebrated in Lanark County this June ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Lanark County is encouraging residents to get out and ride this June during Bike Month across Ontario. Bike Month was officially declared by Lanark County Warden John Fenik at the May 23 county council meeting. "Cycling offers a unique perspective from which we can discover Lanark County's scenic beauty, history and culture as we travel on our rural roads and through historic towns, villages and urban communities," he stated. Earlier in the month, during the May 9 session of Lanark County's community services committee, research assistant Casey Whiticar provided county councillors with an update on the celebrations. She noted $7,500 in funding was received through the Ontario Commuter Cycling Program, which the county
will use to promote safe cycling initiatives and Bike Month. "Bike Month (kicked off) May 28 and continues until the end of June," she explained. "Across Ontario, different municipalities are doing a number of different things. We quickly applied for this extra little bit of funding and threw it out to our partners to see who we could team up with." She said it was a quick turnaround to use up the funds - the application was submitted April 3, approved April 9 and the monies had to be spent by April 30. Whiticar said the county has partnered with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Lanark County OPP, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Smiths Falls Police Service, Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation, local member municipalities and community members.
Road safety media campaigns have begun "with messages both directed at cyclists and drivers," and Whiticar indicated the county, Municipality of Mississippi Mills and health unit have created Share the Road pamphlets. "These (pamphlets) are promoting safe road use, not just safe cycling, but how to navigate your way on the road and how drivers can help themselves and help bikers around them," she explained. The county was also able to provide funding for the Perth and Smiths Falls bike rodeos to allow for bike helmets and T-shirts 'Be Safe, Be Seen' to be distributed to children. They are also supporting bikerelated initiatives taking place in local schools. Whiticar said the county hopes to be a threat in the annual Silver Chain Challenge, a friendly competition between Lanark and Renfrew counties to promote healthier commu-

Participants simply log the number of kilometres they travel by bike during the month and their place of residence and those are transferred to points for their respective county. "If you look on their website, we've got 10 people subscribed and eight of them are in Mississippi Mills, so it would be lovely if the entire county participates," she stated. "At the same time, if you're not a
biker, there's a calculation on there to transfer your steps into cycling kilometres as well ... Hopefully we can win and feed our competitive nature." For more information, visit www.silverchainchallenge.ca or Whiticar said materials will also be available at local libraries. The Slow Bike Race will be hosted by Lanark County at the administration building in Perth on June 13. Coun. Louis Antonakos
(Carleton Place mayor) will be hoping to claim the title once again after being dethroned last year. "Louis, maybe you can help us with this. I've heard you're pretty good," Whiticar remarked. Another initiative the Lanark County clerks group is exploring is establishing a Safe Cycling Communities notice, Whiticar said. "As a number of you know, we have a lot of events that happen around cycling and groups that come into our communities who are cyclists, so if they contact us and need police presence, we'd like to have a notice that reminds them that our roads are safe cycling roads," she stated. "This would include what we expect in order to invite you back into our community again and what needs to be done to keep our pedestrians safe, our cyclists safe and our drivers safe."

DAY OF CARING
3
On May 23, United Way Lanark County kicked off the first of six planned Days of Caring where employees from Tweed volunteered their efforts on company time to tackle projects for partners throughout Lanark County and Smiths Falls. The first project was weeding and cleaning up the backyard at The Mission in Smiths Falls, creating an enjoyable space for mission patrons to rest and share a free meal. The backyard needed some major TLC and the 10 Tweed volunteers, above, were up for the challenge. Not only did they clean up the backyard, and spring clean inside the shelter, they kept the Day of Caring going by picking up garbage at Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Right: The backyard area was refurbished thanks to Canadian Tire Smiths Falls which donated bags of soil and flowers to be planted.

Lanark county council approved two public works contracts on Wednesday, May 9, related to traffic signals and winter maintenance. The first is for traffic signal upgrades by Partham Engineering Ltd. for $167,810 following a request for proposals issued in March. Only one proposal was received; this firm has performed traffic signal maintenance for the county for multiple years and has successfully completed upgrades in the past. The upgrades are to take place in Carleton Place (Bridge Street at Townline Road; Joseph Street at Townline Road West; Patterson Street at McNeely Avenue; McNeely Avenue at the Walmart entrance) and on Bridge Street at Veteran Memorial Park in Almonte. The second contract is for the provision of a combination tandem plow truck and operator for winter maintenance, which was broken down into six winter plow routes. Five schedules were awarded to Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited for almost $1.3 million, and one was issued to Nedow Const. Inc. for $263,250. Only two tenders were received. The initial term of the contract is for three winter seasons, from 2018-2019 to 2020-2021. It provides optional extensions of two additional three-year terms. Equipment specifications, driver requirements, response times and contractor responsibilities form part of the contract to ensure resources used on the routes meet the county's requirements. These six routes have been maintained by contractors for several years. For more information, contact Terry McCann, director of public works, at 1888-9-LANARK, ext. 3190.

Chair Robert Strachan presented the annual report of the land division committee for 2017 to the economic development committee last month. The committee is made up of three appointed members (Strachan, Dan Murphy and Wayne Guthrie), with county planner Julie Stewart as secretary-treasurer. It meets monthly and has consent authority under the Planning Act. Strachan highlighted the number of applications over the last several years. In 2017, 120 applications were received, down slightly from previous years, with 38 pending at year end, 77 consents granted, two denied or withdrawn and three appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. The largest number of applications came from Tay Valley, followed by Drummond/North Elmsley and Lanark Highlands. Strachan noted the committee is pleased county council has agreed to continue the land division process through the committee, adding the committee works with applicants to help with the process and keep their costs down while meeting required standards when approved. He also expressed gratitude to former secretary Mary Kirkham, who retired last year. "Over the years, Mary was a leader to all

close to home. Providing quality education, health, prescription, home, and child care is critical for our families, seniors, and youth. The Liberal plan - Care over Cuts - invests in people. Economic growth is strong. Unemployment is the lowest it's been in nearly 20 years. And we're attracting record business investments. Now is the time to invest in our people, some of whom are not getting the full benefit of a strong economy. We built a
new hospital in Smiths Falls and provided funding for a new emergency wing for the Carleton Place hospital. Our investment of $822 million for hospitals and procedures will see wait times further reduced. Our expanded OHIP+ program will cover the cost of 4,400 prescriptions for seniors 65 plus and youth under 25. We're investing an additional $650 million for home care. We're providing seniors with $750 annually to cover incidentals to help them stay at home longer. We built new schools throughout the riding and added full-day kindergarten. Next, we'll introduce free preschool, saving parents up to $17,000 annually per child for child care. These are a few of the big, bold investments to help people with the cost of everyday living.

the riding and why? In rural Ontario the high cost of electricity is a concern. The Green party is the only one that will not promise to reduce your hydro rates now and then raise them later. Hydro rates have been temporarily reduced benefiting the wealthy the most. We will provide rate reductions only to the most needy. Electricity rates will have to triple to pay for refurbishing the aging nuclear plants. We will have an independent public review to
evaluate all available energy sources. Our plan is to buy hydro power from Quebec while we transition to renewable energy. We will also invest in conservation. Already new utility scale solar and wind power are cheaper than any other source. Ontario's long term contracts with early renewable producers kick-started the industry. There are already 274,000 Canadians working in clean energy, earning an average of $92,000. We need to meet Ontario's greenhouse gas pollution targets to stave off the costs of dealing with the consequences of the climate crisis. This also means that we need to phase out natural gas, which is as powerful a source of greenhouse gases as coal. The 21st century economic opportunities are based on clean technology, energy efficiency, local businesses and improved social services.
Randy Hillier also includes mental health, dental health, home care and long-term care, where there are also major challenges. For example, there are almost 1,300 people waiting for home care in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. At the root of the current crisis is the fact that, for decades now, Conservative and Liberal governments failed to adequately fund the services Ontarians expect and deserve. The NDP will invest in our health and make life more affordable by introducing dental and prescription drug coverage for everyone. We will increase staff and resources for mental health services. We will end overcrowding by funding 2,000 new hospital beds and ensure the needs of rural hospitals are met. We are committed to eliminating wait times for home care and will open 15,000 new long-term care beds over the next five years.
Background: Randy Hillier is a proud father of four, and grandfather of five. He and his wife, Jane, have been longtime residents of Lanark County. An electrician by trade, Randy used his limited free time to address the challenges and injustices imposed upon farmers, small businesses and other individuals in the community. Randy quickly developed a reputation as a strong advocate for the rights of rural communities across the province. In 2007, Randy won the Progressive Conservative nomination in the riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington, and went on to win re-election in 2011 and 2014. For eleven years, Randy has held the government accountable for their indifference to the needs of rural Ontarians, fought the
Randy Hillier
overregulation that is stifling businesses, stood up against injustice, and demanded respect for taxpayers. Metroland Media asked the candidates to indicate what they feel is the number one issue facing the riding and why? While there have been many successes, ongoing challenges remain, such as outrageous electricity
rates, a mismanaged health care system, a shortage of good paying jobs, and an economy devoid of opportunity. He will continue this fight on behalf of the people of Lanark-FrontenacKingston to put Ontario back on the path to prosperity. At the May 10 all-candidates meeting in Beckwith, he acknowledged the hydro crisis in the province, noting there are 250,000 families that can't afford hydro and 60,000 were disconnected last year. This is a third world problem, not what we would expect in the richest province of the country. Randy also wants to cut the waste in the health care system, increase long-term care beds and eliminate the "hallway health care" the Liberal government has created.

At Queen's Park, I've held a variety of critic portfolios and senior positions within the Official Opposition, including House Leader and Deputy Leader of the PC Party. My wife, Deanna, and I are the proud parents of a blended family of five children and have three grandchildren.

ing and why? The major issue for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes in this election is economic development. Creating new, good-paying jobs and retaining those we have is absolutely critical to the sustainability of our communities.

Derek Morley businesses hedging their bets on Ontario. In this campaign, Ontario PCs are putting forward policies to restore confidence in Ontario and get us back at the table when companies are deciding where to invest. An Ontario Chamber of Commerce survey found the primary reason businesses of all sizes lack the confidence to invest in Ontario is the economic policies of the Wynne government. Those policies, including soaring electricity rates, have cost us 300,000 good-paying manufacturing jobs on this government's watch. An Ontario PC government will change those policies to restore business confidence and bring back investment and new jobs. It has been an honour to serve you as MPP. On June 7, I'm asking ffor your vote to continue working on w your behalf. y
Background: I am an entrepreneur and small business owner who has a family home in Kemptville and projects in Pembroke, Gananoque and Brockville which provide employment and cultural education throughout the region. I attended St. Mary Catholic High School and Brockville Collegiate Institute before sampling university at Concordia from 2004 to 2005. I returned to Leeds-Grenville in 2009 to start a labour provision company in service of the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville.

do. They were not looking out for you and me when they made those decisions, and they certainly aren't now. The NDP is the ONLY party who will bring Hydro One back into public hands AND reduce our bills by 30 per cent. Higher delivery fees punishing rural residents? Gone! Time-of-use billing that squeezes businesses, stay-at-home parents, seniors? Gone! Plus, Ontario will soon be reaping the rewards of having our utility back in public hands with all the financial dividends that come with it. The PC party, though big on criticism for the Liberal model, has no real plan to make any significant changes. They will keep hydro privatized and simply replace the existing board with executives of their choosing. The NDP understands the hydro burden the Liberals have created, and we have the best plan for relief.
Background: Henderson was born and raised in Brockville and has been active within and serving his community his entire career. He attended Commonwealth Public School, and Brockville Collegiate Institute where he played football. He did his Bachelor of Science at the University of Waterloo, and his MBA at Queen's before returning to Brockville. Early in his career he worked, as many have in his community, in the manufacturing sector at Phillips Cables and DuPont Canada. In 1997 he took over the family business at Henderson Printing as president. In 2006, he was elected mayor of Brockville, reelected in 2010, and 2014, becoming Brockville's longest serving mayor.
David Henderson
As mayor, David has championed many economic initiatives, and boosting tourism in the St. Lawrence corridor. He's served as the chair of the Eastern Ontario Mayors Committee, and as the budget chair of the City of Brockville.
In his spare time David is an avid kayaker (who wouldn't be in the City of the 1000 Islands), a hockey player, and a football coach for his old high school. But most of all he enjoys spending time with his family. Metroland Media asked the candidates to indicate what they feel is the number one issue facing the riding and why? The highest priority for our riding is continued investment for our key services: Our hospitals, our schools, mental health, infrastructure, and our programs that help people turn their lives around and get back on their feet. This investment is needed now. We've balanced the budget, so now is the best time to invest in our area.

What we need then in Brockville, Kemptville and throughout the district is to get ready to respond to these trends by cultivating industries that are resistant. This will require a dynamic-multi-approach plan. Building on the success of tourism in Merrickville, Gananoque and Westport, we can create more jobs with an integrated approach, a circuit that takes visitors through the highlights of our district. It also means connecting our farmers with the eat-local movement. We can become the garden for Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal citizens who want to buy food with the lowest carbon footprint, grown closest to their homes. As your Green party MPP candidate, I have the road map to this dynamic future for our community. I encourage you to get to the polling stations on June 7 and make sure your voice is heard.

Your vote matters
Anyone who watched just five minutes of the last leaders' debate of the Ontario provincial election on Sunday night may be fighting with the question: Why vote? These so-called leaders kept interrupting each other, throwing digs, ignoring the moderators; it gives little hope any of them can lead the province after the June 7 election, if this is how they choose to treat each other on national television. But that is what any eligible voter is asked to do: just vote. Voter apathy is not easy to understand for those who have always seen it as their civic duty. Yet those who refuse to vote have a few reasons that deserve to be addressed directly. Because it is clear that everyone benefits when all voters in a democracy cast a ballot. 'I never vote,' is a line often heard at times such as this, during a provincial election campaign. 'I'm not political and don't know how it works or where to go, so I just don't bother.' A more difficult one goes like this: 'I don't think the party I like can win in this riding so what's the point?' And the toughest one to get around is: 'I don't like any of the candidates. I prefer to protest by spoiling my ballot.' But vote you must. In the 2014 election just over 50 per cent of Ontario's 9.2 million eligible voters cast a ballot and in 2011 48.2 per cent voted. That slight increase still means only half the province voted. You may think you are not political but every action you take or don't take affects politics. The new developments in hospitals and highways were funded by the provincial government, every time you walk into the hospital you are reaping the benefits of provincial funding. If you don't think your favourite party is going to win, still vote for them as the party receives a quarterly rate by the number of valid votes a party's candidates receives in the general election: your vote matters. Last week, the prime minister recognized the 100th anniversary of women's rights to vote federally, in Ontario women were granted the vote in 1917. People died in war for our right to vote. After all of these sacrifices and battles it proves you must vote. And as we all know no candidate in the history of democracy has been perfect. It is easy to look up how and where to vote; www.elections.on.ca or call 1-888-668-8683. Be educated. Election day is June 7. Vote. It matters.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Provincial candidates called on to improve Perth courthouse DEAR EDITOR: The Perth courthouse looks relatively unchanged since it was built in 1843, but it continues to serve Lanark County's 70,000 residents. A justice of the peace and at least one judge hold court every weekday. Unfortunately, although the population of Lanark County is growing, the last renovation was over 20 years ago. A new courthouse was approved in 2007 but was for unknown reasons was never built. The Supreme Court has ordered that criminal
charges be dismissed if there is significant delay in setting trials; yet Perth does not have enough courtrooms for the number of cases. The Courthouse accommodates only one jury trial, and only one courtroom has closed-circuit television technology (used when children testify), so victims wait months for their day in court, even when the Crown and defence are ready to proceed. Similar problems exist for civil and family court, where litigants wait several months to see a judge. Children are growing up uncertain about when they will see their parents and who will make decisions about them. Families who choose mediation to resolve their disputes are packed into ti-

Victims of crime have to wait in the same hallway as the perpetrators. Within the past 18 months, the OPP has been called more than two dozen times to deal with reports of violent incidents at the courthouse.

Local Lions Clubs raise funds for CNIB
DEAR EDITOR: On Saturday, May 5, dedicated volunteers across the region hit the streets to raise funds for CNIB's Lake Joseph Centre (Lake Joe). Through the collective efforts of the Lions Clubs of Almonte, Carleton Place, Gananoque and Smiths Falls, and the generosity of our communities, more than $17,500 was raised at the toll roads. Almonte Lions Club alone raised $5,300. Lake Joe brings the magic of summer camp into the lives of people who are blind or partially sighted. Here, people with sight loss and their families can enjoy the same summer pursuits as other Canadians: canoeing, kayaking, water-skiing, swimming,
sailing and fishing - as well as access to intensive courses that teach necessary life skills, from cooking to mobility. Lake Joe is a place where a kid can be a kid. Visit cnib.ca/LakeJoe to learn more. CNIB is truly grateful for the efforts of the local Lions Clubs and our communities who are making a lasting impact in the lives of so many. The Lions Clubs would be happy to share more details about their experience on the day. Kelly Verbene, CNIB

No party is addressing Ontario's 'real issue'
Staggering debt load in province a serious matter, Jeff Maguire writes JEFF MAGUIRE Column
With the provincial general election now just a week away the three major parties are pulling out all the stops as they attempt to lure voters during the closing phase of what has turned into a very close race. If you believe the polls the Ontario Liberals' 15year reign is about to end amid public anger over soaring electricity rates and scandal, including the gas plant fiasco, which sent leader Kathleen Wynne's personal popularity plunging to an unprecedented
low. Heading into 2018 the Progressive Conservative Party appeared poised for a sweeping victory. Then came the surprise downfall of leader Patrick Brown who was accused, anonymously, of sexual misconduct. The "Me Too Movement" is undoubtedly overdue. The down side is that anonymous allegations have been immediately accepted as fact in some cases. Brown's situation
underlines the dangers inherent in a media-fuelled public rush to judgment. Following a rapid-fire race the party faithful picked Doug Ford, an often controversial former Toronto councillor, as their new leader. Clearly Ford's presence has led to a polarizing effect which has seen the New Democrats and leader Andrea Horwath surge in popularity. At this writing polls show the NDP could be headed for a major victory next Thursday. But what of the issues facing Ontarians? And how would the 'Big Three' tackle them? Things like out of control hydro rates, health care, daycare, much needed infrastructure improvements and yes, the soaring provincial debt. Ford appears to be the
only major leader willing to consider cuts. He has at least mentioned the possibility. But for my money he too has paid only lip service to the final among the five issues I have just highlighted - the provincial debt, the money this province owes. The NDP are once again hanging their hat on the often misunderstood word "free". Free dental care, free daycare and of course continued free health care although with nothing substantial in terms of how they would reduce ridiculously long wait times. Meanwhile the flagging Liberals are making numerous promises which, on the surface, sound wonderful. But despite laying out a platform which is heavy on spending Wynne and her party continue to
poll a very poor third! Not to be outdone Ford is promising to fire the Hydro One chief administrative officer and banish the entire electrical board, a pledge which is music to the ears of most Ontarians I suspect. The PC's are also touting a 10 cent gas tax reduction and tax cuts for middle income earners. Of course anyone with even a rudimentary grasp of economics knows the word "free", especially when uttered by politicians, is definitely a misnomer. The reality is that there is no such thing as free. All of the "freebies" will have to be paid for by taxpayers at one end or the other. Personally I would be far more comfortable voting for a party and a candi-
date who showed some interest in dealing with THE main issue in Ontario. Our staggering debt load! To be fair the politicians do have a serious problem when it comes to addressing this very important matter. Many among the taxpaying public are equally guilty when it comes to mismanaging their personal finances. Come election time hearing the real facts about the province's economy only adds to the hurt. The last thing most people want to hear from politicians is the truth! – Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

aged to produce a lovely blouse with white pearl buttons, rolled-up cuffs and as pink as a freshly picked rose. The next day, Saturday, mother said I could wear the new blouse and go into Renfrew with her to deliver her wares door to door. So there I was handing out trussed up chickens, fresh butter, sticky buns and eggs, proud as punch in my new pink blouse. Instead of heading right for home when everything
was delivered, mother said we were stopping at Walker's Store. There were a few things she wanted to pick up. Which was fine with me. She headed right for the counter with the roll-onroll of ribbons. Every colour and some as wide as three inches. She took hold of the wide red roll and then the pink one, and told the sales clerk, "I'd like a yard of each, please." I had no idea what she was going to do with all that ribbon, especially in
the colours she chose. I found out on Sunday morning when we were getting ready for church. She took the pink ribbon, laid it out on the kitchen table, and made a bow as long as a 12-inch ruler. She told me I could wear the new pink blouse to church with a navy skirt she had made from one of Uncle Jack's suits that had come in the hand-me-down box. And then she took the big pink l See MARY’S, page 14

Certainly I wasn't the only pupil with red hair at the Northcote school, but I was the only girl. One boy from the Barr Side Road was also a redhead. The Briscoes came close, but my hair was flaming red, and the bane of my existence. For reasons which I could never understand, redheads were never supposed to wear pink or red, which just happened to be two of my favourite colours. Even my older and much wiser sister, Audrey, had no explanation for it. "That's just the way it is, Mary" she would say when I asked her to explain it to me. Well, mother wasn't the kind of person to live by strict rules. She well did what pleased her and our family, and often scoffed at the things that were considered improper out there in Renfrew County. She stuck to the rules of the Catholic Church, like never eating meat on a Friday, but what she called 'habits' of rural Northcote were often tossed by the wayside. And, one day my life changed forever, and it all had to do with my red hair. It was after the ladies of the area had been at Aunt Bertha's for their regular quilting session. Velma and I, as usual, were playing under the quilt with our dolls. The quilt was finished, and the women were admiring it, stretched out between the two rollers on the backs of the kitchen chairs. As was always the case, there were several pieces of broadcloth left over, and mother ended up with a good chunk of pink material. It was Mrs. Beam who said, "it's too bad Mary can't wear pink ... there's enough there for a blouse". Well, that's all it took for
There was silence around the table ... no one argued with mother ... her being from New York and all. And so mother went home with the piece of pink broadcloth, with me wondering what she was going to do with it. Would she really make something for me? Well, that very night, the old Singer sewing machine was fair buzzing in the kitchen after supper. It took several nights, but lo and behold, mother man-

bow, and anchored it to the top of my head with two big black bobby-pins. I ran to the mirror at the back door, and there the pink bow sat like a folded newspaper across my flaming red ringlets, and almost the exact colour of the broadcloth blouse. Big bows were the fashion of the day for young girls, and all through church I kept touching it to make sure I hadn't dreamt the whole thing. It wouldn't be the last time I wore pink. And I knew it would just be a matter of time until mother found something in bright red to put on my back too, just to show the people of Northcote that some rules were made to be broken.

'The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby' debuts in Smiths Falls June 15
Tickets are now on sale for the Smiths Falls Community Theatre's upcoming show, The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby, by Norm Foster. With a title like that and Foster on the bill, you know you are in for big laughs and touching moments. From here on, let's just refer to it as 'the fishing play' or 'Kooshog Lake'. In her directorial debut here, Nicki Hayes, most recently seen on stage in last month's Butterflies are Free, has assembled a group of five actors who are
all becoming well known to theatregoers. The story is as follows: James Bell (Noel White, last seen in February's Rumors), a big city guy, has his car break down in the rural community of Kooshog Lake and find's he's stuck there for the weekend. While there, he meets the eccentric locals including the mechanic, Kirk Douglas - not that one (Rich Croteau, most recently in Kemptville's An Inspector Calls) who owns the bait and tackle shop; Sienna (Chris Winter, who stole
the show in Nana's Naughty Knickers) who owns Sienna's Grocery where most of the action of the play takes place; Melanie (Katharine Coleman, most recently director of Who Dunit?), who owns the local antique shop and Rhonda (Mandi Reed, from Who Dunit?) the biggest flirt you could find in town, who seems to own and run everything else in town. With nothing better to do while waiting for his car to be fixed in what he considers a backwards town, James enters the annual
fishing derby, where it's not about the biggest fish, just the one specific fish with the special lure stuck in his mouth, Hollis McCauley (named after Kirk's high school shop teacher - not a pretty man!). The dialogue in this play is where the humour comes from. Foster delivers another quick paced and witty script with characters that everyone will be able to relate to. Watching this play, you'll be able to identify your neighbour down the street, and maybe even yourself. By the end, James
reconsiders what he really values as he discovers the best qualities of the strange community he is in. There are lessons to be learned here, but they are subtle. The laughs, however, are not! That is the main point of this show! The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby is the perfect show for small town Ontario! The show plays Friday and Saturday, June 15 to 16 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee show Sunday, June 17 at 2 p.m. The second weekend runs Thursday to Satur-
day, June 21 to 23 at 7:30 p.m. and finishes up with a matinee on Sunday, June 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students and can be purchased with cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St., in Smiths Falls; online or by phone (613-2830300) with credit card. If tickets are still available, they can be purchased a half-hour before showtime, at the door, with cash.

ing around other cats. However, Olson would love to be invited into a loving home. Please meet Olsen in Carleton Place at Natural Pet Foods from where he can be adopted. Babe This lovely nine-yearold female cat was surrendered to LAWS because her owner was moving into a retirement home. Sadly,
there were no pets allowed and Babe is now safely at LAWS. She is adjusting to her new, hopefully temporary, home and you often find her under the sink on a bunch of clean towels. She is very sweet and still someone will take her home. We're absolutely certain that when she's invited into her new forever home she'll be making you
very happy with her presence. Because of her age we've lowered the adoption price for Babe. Please meet Babe at LAWS. Momma We have Momma1, who would be happy to find a home of her own. She's a pretty, large, Tortoiseshell cat who has been around. She loves to snuggle in a big box to observe what's going
on around her. Momma1 is a bit cautious when meeting new people but when you have time and are attracted to a large, lady with nice orange, brown and black markings with Tortoiseshell "cattitude" then please meet her at LAWS. Freckles Hello, my name is Freckles. I am a happy-golucky, friendly and playful
six-month-old handsome orange and white male cat looking for a home. If you're thinking about adopting a nice looking young cat like me then please come and get me, I am available at LAWS from where I'd be happy to convince you to take me home. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like at facebook.com/ lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.ca. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls.

Health unit seeks input on online food inventory On The Bright Side 2018 Tour
“... one of the treasures of the East Coast, rich with tradition and unmatched in ensemble performance.”
NEXT THURSDAY!

l
is enrs a r B Tea THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
Please provide your thoughts on the food inventory! Have you seen it or used it? Did foodcoreLGL miss something? FoodcoreLGL keeps an online food inventory, a list of the food and nutrition-related programs, organizations and businesses in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. The group wants to know if you've used it and also what might be missing. The inventory is divided into five sections: • Growing and Gathering Food • Preparing and Eating Food • Buying Food
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, allow time for others to process a big announcement you recently made. Patience is something you will need this week. Viewing things from others’ points of view will help. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Very little that is holding you back this week, Taurus. You realize you can do anything that you set your mind to. Use this power wisely in the next few days.
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!

• Help for Getting Food • Sustaining our Future These sections represent the stages of the local food system from seed to compost. "When we talk about the food system," says Marie Traynor, public health nutritionist, "we mean everything and everybody that's involved from seeds to growing, processing, acquiring, transporting, distributing, selling, preparing, eating and disposing of food." The inventory also takes in consideration the principles of the Food Charter for United
Counties of Leeds and Grenville and Lanark County. FoodcoreLGL has just completed a check of existing links and contacts but the group still needs to know what might be missing and if people have used the inventory for work or home. Please evaluate it by filling out the short survey linked from the home page at www.foodcoreLGL.ca. Many thanks in advance from foodcoreLGL, a coalition of food activists and organizations who work to take practical steps to realize the vision of the Food Charter.

Lanark County OPP Detachment Commander Derek Needham presented the findings of an investigation police did during the May 23 Lanark County public works committee meeting in Perth. It was a request from the county's joint police services board. Needham said OPP pulled analytics from several accidents on the stretch of Highway 7 between Perth and Carleton Place, mainly looking at the 7.5-kilometre stretch of roadway that passes through Mississippi Mills. "Since 2002, there have been five fatal motor vehicle collisions on this small stretch," he explained, noting that all five took place during the winter months and the fatalities involved

"Most people that travel on Highway 7 are quite familiar with that section," Needham added. "Any collisions on Highway 7 that are head-on with
people going close or slightly over or under the speed limit, we're talking about pretty serious collisions," Needham stated. "If it's head-on and each car is going 80 km/hour, it's a 160 km/hour force of impact."
Most recently on Jan. 2 of this year, a man was killed in a two-vehicle collision on the road, near Ramsay Concession 1. Needham described the weather as "fairly cold that day (-26) and the roads were pretty

On Dale's prayer card there is a quote from Carleton Place resident Lorne Musselman: "It was his willingness to help with anything that revealed the true measure of the man." Munro carries her nephew's prayer card around with her at all times. It is a little the worse for wear. "He was like my other kid," Munro stated. Dale was a jack of all trades...he was never out of a

"Everybody knew him...he was a staple in Carleton Place," Ruth Munro said of her late nephew, Dale 'Scoon' Scott. With the tenth anniversary of Dale's passing coming up, Munro and her daughter, Shannon Link, sat down with the Canadian Gazette on May 23 to talk about Dale and the impact he had on town. Moreover, the family announced a special bench dedication ceremony would be held on June 9 at 1 p.m. to honour Dale. The location: Market Square. Munro's brother, Jim Scott, is Dale's father. His mother is Edna Scott. Dale passed away on June 7, 2008, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 42. "He had brain cancer," Munro stated. "He was sick for seven years." "They removed the first tumour, but four and a half years later the second one came," she continued. "It was removed, but a third appeared two years later...this time they could not do anything." During Dale's illness, he continued to be a champion for causes in town. He was named Carleton Place Citizen of the Year in 2003. The designation is presented in recognition of the invaluable contributions made by a person who generously donates their time and talents to serve the Carleton Place community in a volunteer capacity. Someone who gives to the community solely for the satisfaction of generating the spirit of good will. Dale was a willing volunteer for any organization or cause that required help, including the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH), CPDMH Auxiliary, Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce (Canada Day celebrations), local dragon boat festival and Carleton Place Canoe Club, just to name a few. Too, he helped out with basketball at Carleton Place High School. Dale also loved hockey, especially the
Carleton Place Legion Kings. "He is remembered for his countless hours of community involvement," Link said. "It is his legacy." "He made thousands of dollars for the hospital," she added, and "he was a champion for new musicians." "Once or twice a month you would see him going down the main street putting posters in every window, advertising a fundraiser," Munro added. "His arms would be full with posters, but he would still

Five fatal collisions along road since 2002
l Continued from page 1
had taken steps to treat the roadway "but at those temperatures it's very difficult to get ice off highways." This incident involved the eastbound vehicle unable to negotiate the curve and crossed the centre line, resulting in the death of the westbound motorist. Ten days before on Dec. 22, closer to Carleton Place between Tatlock Road and Ramsay Concession 4A, was another fatal collision. Needham said driving lanes were obscured due to snow cover, and that the temperature hovered around -13 with wind gusts of 22-24 km/hour. In this instance, the westbound driver in the passing lane crossed the centre line and collided with a tractor trailer. The male was pronounced dead at the scene. On Jan. 13, 2014, an eastbound driver lost control and struck a westbound vehicle. A woman from Perth was killed. Winds of more than 30 km/hour were forecasted that day.
"The roads were covered in snow but further up ahead, the pavement was bare, so the question can be asked, is it the snow blowing across the road? Does this have to do with people not being able to see the road markings or are there other external impacts?" Needham said. In exactly the same spot as the 2014 collision, another incident took place on Feb. 24, 2006 where an eastbound driver was struck by an oncoming vehicle in a Tbone fashion. The oldest collision Needham pulled statistics from was Jan. 14, 2002, which also featured high winds that day of 26 km/ hour. "There's a recurring theme we're starting to see," he noted. The eastbound driver in the passing lane was killed when they lost control and were struck by a westbound vehicle.
Recommendations made Needham indicated all of the fatal collisions took place over the months of January and February.
"It wasn't that we didn't look at collisions outside that time, but these were the only ones with fatalities," he explained. "All involved vehicles crossing the centre lane where the passing lanes existed." He stressed the importance of an MTO study as the OPP only enforce roadways, but don't construct them. "Are there changes in the surface temperature of the highway that are contributing to this? I can pull statistics and information, but the MTO are experts," Needham said. Due to concerns of the OPP and by the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, he requested a meeting with MTO and made a number of recommendations to them, including a permanent message forecasting road conditions, which Needham said was erected within two weeks of the request. The second recommendation involved a review of the corner of Highway 7 west of Ramsay Concession 5A and to monitor the impact of a culvert on the
corner and how it impacts roadway temperatures. "There's a drop in the pavement there, which involves drivers hooking a fairly hard left," he explained. "I don't drive in the passing lane of this highway. I personally stay out of it altogether." Needham admitted the third suggestion is more "pie in the sky," and involves reducing the curvature of the corner of the highway. "Realistically, finances would likely prohibit that," he said. The fourth option was to have direct liquid applied to that curve in question, but he said the MTO have indicated that wouldn't work as "it's too cold for salt and other treatments on the highway." The fifth recommendation and one Needham is in favour of, would see the passing lanes eliminated and the widening of the east and westbound lanes. "MTO has said they would do a review of this section of the highway ... to see if there's anything that needs fixing," he said.
Coun. Bill Dobson, who had heard Needham's presentation to the PSB, was in agreement the passing lanes should be removed. "I don't see a need for it and I'm sure you don't either," he said. "MTO really are the experts in this. We've presented some data to them and I don't know if the elimination of the passing lanes is necessary," Needham answered. "It's important to give the experts a chance to say what they recommend. My suggestions might be off the mark as I don't have an engineering degree or background in construction." Calling the entire stretch of Highway 7 between Perth and Carleton Place as "very dangerous," Warden John Fenik (Perth mayor) said it should be rebuilt as a four-lane highway. "My question is around enforcement. People drive excessively fast ... is enforcement at a greater level given the unsafe nature of the road?" he asked. Needham noted motorists don't have to drive far
to encounter an OPP cruiser on Highway 7 and over the recent Victoria Day long weekend, officers handed out more than 240 speeding tickets, with the majority being issued on that roadway. Fenik said the Town of Perth has a meeting with the ministry at the upcoming Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference to discuss issues with the Highway 7 and Drummond Street intersection. "We should ask for a delegation on the Highway 7 corridor," said Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve), whose motion was approved. Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) said his municipality receives a lot of calls regarding the safety of the road, particularly the intersection of Highway 7 and Townline Road. Needham said that intersection isn't currently an issue for the OPP and has a low collision history. He also indicated he hasn't been given a date for the completion of MTO's review.

TD Foundation helps Poole Family Nature Sanctuary wilderness trail TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) is giving two green thumbs up to the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for its donation to the Poole Family Nature Sanctuary wilderness trail. Staff at TD Canada Trust in Carleton Place and representatives from MMLT gathered for a cheque presentation ceremony on May 17. Carleton Place Deputy Mayor and Lanark County Coun. Jerry Flynn also attended. MMLT director Mary Vandenhoff called the $3,931 donation "significant." "This funding for a trail makes it possible for the community to enjoy the wonders of being out in wilderness only eight kilometres from Carleton Place," she said. The two-kilometre, allseason wilderness trail will provide access to a variety of woodland and wetland habitats, including an
old growth white pine grove. TD Friends of the Environment Foundation is a national charity dedicated to funding local environmental projects, playing a key role in greening communities across Canada. "We are thrilled to support this project within Carleton Place - the community in which we live, work and enjoy," TD Canada Trust Carleton Place branch manager Kristin Brown said. Since the founding of TD FEF in 1990, it has provided more than $3.4 million in funding for more than 1,100 projects in the National Capital Region. According to Vandenhoff, the Poole Family Nature Sanctuary wilderness trail will be located on part of the property nearest the road and away from any sensitive wetlands. A non-profit organization, the mission of the MMLT is to legally protect and steward private lands having ecological, biodi-
verse, aesthetic and cultural value, and to foster engagement with wilderness. Helen White (nee Poole) donated the 110-acre Poole Family Nature Sanctuary property to the MMLT, "with the deal officially signed off on May 16," Vandenhoff explained. MMLT director Cathy Keddy noted the land, located in Drummond/ North Elmsley in the area of Concession 11, backing onto Keddy Nature Sanctuary, encompasses "forest and wetlands, with a grove of white pine rivalling the white pines in Arnprior's Gillies Grove." "Both the wetlands and woodlands are classified as significant with old growth pine and hemlock up to and over 100-feet tall," Vandenhoff said. "A wondrous experience of nature at its best." Keddy Nature Sanctuary is under a conservation easement held by the MMLT, for protection in perpetuity. The primary purpose of Keddy Nature Sanctuary is to provide a
sanctuary for wild nature. Also in attendance on May 17 was MMLT president Howard Clifford. He owns Blueberry Mountain, another property entrusted to the care of the MMLT. The project to develop the Poole Family Nature Sanctuary wilderness trail will consist of: trail clearing and marking, a welcome sign at the trailhead that includes a trail map and brochure box, eight interpretive signs along the trail to educate and inform, an electronic people counter to measure visitor use and trail brochures. Vandenhoff noted this is the third donation to the MMLT from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. "In 2013, we received an important $10,500 grant from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for the Natural Soundscapes in Nature Reserves project," she said. Flynn congratulated TD on its generous donation towards the Poole Family

and Edna) to get their blessing. "I contacted Jerry (Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn) last April, asking him if he wanted to be involved," Link explained. "I also wanted to know who I should speak to at the town hall." "I do not think it was even two minutes after I sent Jerry the email that he called me and said: 'I am in'," she added. "Jerry and Dale were very close," Munro stressed. "Jerry wrote an email to Joanne (recreation and culture manager Joanne Henderson) and copied me on it," Link noted. "I think a bench in honour of Dale is most appropriate," Flynn said. "As one who engaged in many conversations with 'Scoon,' finding a place to sit down was a must." "Conversations with him were, for the most part, inspirational, and I always felt better when we parted because of his positive outlook on life and his quest to make Carleton Place a better place or to help someone in need." "This is how 'Scoon' lived his life," the deputy mayor continued. "He viewed the cancer that eventually took his life as a minor setback." Link met up with Henderson at the end of May (2017) to discuss where the bench was going to go. After all, there were guidelines. It could not be put in a spot where it impeded the flow of traffic or snow removal. "All the benches in town need to be uniform, which I totally understand, so we ordered it through them," Link explained. A week after meeting with Henderson, she called Link and
"I remember calling former Carleton Place Mayor Paul Dulmage to tell him about Dale's passing," Munro recalled. Everyone is invited to the bench dedication on Saturday. Dale's cousin and one-time for-
mer caregiver, Margaret Stewart, is in charge that day. Speakers include Dale's mother, Flynn and retired Rev. Canon David Andrew. He officiated at Dale's funeral. There will also be cake and coffee afterwards.
Flynn is happy to see the bench project come to fruition, looking forward to the dedication ceremony on June 9. Dale is interred at St. James Anglican Cemetery on the 8th Concession.
“The confidence I gained impressed my family.” Michael, Tim Horton Camper from Ottawa, ON Immigrating to Canada from Tanzania as a child, Michael was often shy and nervous in his new surroundings. It wasn’t until he attended Tim Horton Camp in Parry Sound that he came out of his shell. The friends he made immediately took him under their wings and challenged him to try new experiences. After 10 days of zip-lining and canoeing, Michael returned home with a new confidence. Now understanding the power of a helping hand, he works with new students at his school to help them find their place in their new surroundings. Thank you, Michael. And thanks to all our Tim Horton Campers who make our community stronger. insideottawavalley.com

suggested the Market Square for the bench's location. The cost of the bench is approximately $700. Furthermore, a stone marker will be placed next to it. Last October a Facebook page and GoFundMe account were set up (search Dale Scott Memorial Bench). "Initially, the plan was to do fundraisers and a dance to raise the money, and I even contacted the Detroit Red Wings organization because Dale was a diehard fan," Link stated. "Unfortunately, the Red Wings do not donate outside of Detroit." "Luckily, Dale was able to see his team raise the Stanley Cup in 2008, the year he passed," Munro said. As it turns out, no fundraising events were needed for the bench...to date, the GoFundMe page has raised in excess of $1,400. "Whatever is leftover, my aunt and uncle will decide where it goes," Link explained. "It is definitely going to charity." John Bowes, the owner of Alan R. Barker Funeral Home & Chapel and Kinkaid & Loney Monuments Ltd. (Smiths Falls) is going to do the stone next to Dale's bench. "John, Ed and Andy Bowes were super close with Dale," Link noted. "Dale used to do sound for them." Ed and Andy will be singing at the bench dedication ceremony. Getting emotional, Munro and Link recalled how John and SRC Music owner Brent King took Dale fishing a couple of days before he died. "Dale was in the dumps...he could barely walk," Munro said. "Brent and John wheeled him on the boat and drove him around Mississippi Lake." "A lot of people in town help him out," she continued. The former owners of The Granary, Keith and Leslie Rouble, placed a cot in the back of their store for Dale to rest if he was walking downtown and needed to stop. "People would also drive him here and there," Munro said. Ten years ago on June 11, more than 1,500 people packed arena two at the Neelin Street Community Centre for Dale's funeral. "I have never seen anything like it," Link said. "All the area churches did the food for the reception, and people brought their musical instruments to play." The year he passed, the Riverside Jam was dedicated to Dale.

Annual fiddle service in Clayton June 10 Each year the congregation of St. George's Anglican Church in Clayton looks forward to welcoming a special group of musicians and the community at large to their worship service for the annual fiddle service. This year on June 10, lead fiddler Kyle Felhaver from Braeside and John Mitchell from Orleans on piano will lead the Burnside Sisters and friends with the musical prelude beginning at 9:30 a.m. The worship service with old time hymns and fiddle music begins at 10 a.m. Lunch will be served following the service. As usual, St. George's will make a donation to the Danny O'Connell Memorial Fund as a thank you to the musicians. This fund presents a bursary each year at Celtfest to a deserving young fiddler from the Ottawa Valley. It seems appropriate that 117-yearold St. George's should play a small part in keeping the tradition of Ottawa Valley fiddling alive. For more information, call Ray 613-256-9010 or visit www.stgeorgechurchclayton.webs.com. All are welcome to join the fun.

Beckwith tells story of Franktown on new plaque
TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com
Other plaques The municipality un-
veiled its first a plaque in 2017, commemorating the site of the original Beckwith Township Hall. The hall, a wood structure built in 1857 and located on Dakers Road, was used for 104 years before being destroyed by a fire in 1961. The current township office, located at 1702 9th Line, was then constructed. A second plaque was unveiled last October in front of Prospect United Church, talking about the early settlers in Prospect as well as the importance of the road
from Richmond to Perth the road through Prospect. At the time, Kidd noted the church was chosen as the location because "we own it, and it is a very visible spot." The church was closed in 2002, following 180 years of service. Next to the building is the cemetery, which is where a lot of the first families are buried. Kidd noted the township's fourth plaque would be placed somewhere in the Derry.

PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE PROJECT NAME: Millfall & Earthen Dam Rehabilitation BACKGROUND: The Millfall and Earthen Dams down the North Channel of the Mississippi River in Almonte, have both reached the end of their useful lives and have begun to fail. Erosion, leakage and loss of concrete is more evident every year. Both dams will be brought up to today’s standards to avoid a future failure, make them safer to operate and reduce the likelihood of future flooding in the North Channel.

A new plaque has been unveiled in Beckwith Township, telling the story of the village of Franktown. On Saturday, May 26, the day of the annual Lilac Festival, Beckwith council and members of the heritage committee and public gathered outside Centennial Hall on Church Street for the reveal. "This is our third plaque," Reeve Richard Kidd told the Canadian Gazette. The first families to settle in Beckwith arrived in the spring of 1818, after a long voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Continuing up the St. Lawrence River they disembarked at the foot of the Chaudière Falls on the Ottawa River. From there they came overland to Beckwith, arriving in early fall. Franktown was named after Col. Sir Francis Cockburn, deputy quartermaster-general of Upper Canada. As noted on the new plaque: "The village site was divided into 25 lots, each measuring 24 acres. Further lots were reserved for a church, a school and a cemetery. A government provision store or King's Store was constructed in 1818." Most of the early Beckwith immigrants were Irish and Scottish, along with discharged soldiers from the King's Army. The first road through Beckwith, from Richmond to Perth, was cleared in 1819. British soldiers did the work. The road, with a width of 60 feet, connected the military settlements of Richmond and Perth. It entered Beckwith at Prospect, travelled west to Franktown, continued to Gillies Corners and ahead to Perth. This became the first of many corduroy roads in Beckwith. The cost of the Frank-
town plaque is in the neighbourhood of $3,500. Kidd explained the townships of Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley and Tay Valley as well as the Town of Perth celebrated the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement in 2016. "Together, we applied for a grant through Canadian Heritage," he said. "The money (for the plaque) came from our share."

presented the document, which lists the municipality's anticipated capital projects over the next decade (2018-2027), during the policy review meeting on May 22. Expenditures in Carleton
Place's 10-year plan total $98 million, and areas of spending include roads, sewer and water, recreation, administration, public works equipment, protective services and other.

Hogan noted the 10-year plan is "a living document," which is reviewed annually. "We do update it year after year ... it does not stay stagnant," he continued. The two largest spending areas in the next decade are roads ($39,146,000) and sewer and water ($37,785,589). "The priorities seem to be black asphalt and pipes in the ground," Hogan noted. He explained the biggest capital projects under sewer and water are related to growth: expansion of sewage plant (2022-2027 $14,754,960), expansion of water plant (2023-2027 - $4,641,480) and expansion of water reservoir (2021-2022 - $2,484,000). Recreation is the next largest area of spending, with $10,466,889 allocated toward structures, including the proposed arena addition, upgrades to play structures, building new neighbourhood parks and more. In the next decade, $4,478,000 will be spent on administration, which encompasses the expansion of the town's daycare, technology upgrades, etc. Public works equipment totals $3,119,000, and $1,958,000 will be spent under 'other' to service the Doyle lands for a commercial and industrial park. "With $980,000 for protective services, the main thing is equipment replacement," Hogan said. "Although Les (fire chief Les Reynolds) has upgraded some major pieces of equipment in previous years, a pumper truck is needed in the next 10 years." For every dollar the town spends it must find somewhere to get the money. Capital projects within the 10-year plan will be funded by way of growth reserves (money coming from new development), taxation, debt, reserves, provincial grants, user fees, developers, development charges, sale of land, federal Gas Tax Fund
(GTF) and other. "We are forecasting about $7.5 million in debt will be needed for Central Bridge," Hogan said. Central Bridge, the main crossing on Bridge Street near the town hall, was constructed in 1928 and rehabilitated in 1983. Recent inspections have identified structural deficiencies and insufficient load carrying capacity. The replacement of Central Bridge in the next five years was identified as a priority in the town's strategic asset management plan. The cost: $9.1 million. Carleton Place is strategically building up its reserves, and about three years ago "our provincial partners started giving us money," Hogan said. In the next decade, developers will contribute nearly $8 million toward capital projects. For example: McNeely Avenue to Highway 15 connection. "The federal government has been giving us $295,000 in gas tax monies every year since 2005," Hogan explained. "These monies are primarily spent on roads ... very specific usage." Capital projects On Tuesday night, Hogan highlighted 30 capital projects in the town's 10-year plan, even though more than 200 are contained in the document. "The other projects are all below $500,000," the deputy treasurer said. "I just wanted to give you an idea ... it never ends." The list includes big ticket items such as the sewage plant expansion, Central Bridge, water plant expansion, vehicle replacement ($3,609,000), overlay ($3,945,000), McNeely Avenue to Highway 15 (2022 — $3,818,000), major maintenance at the sewage and water treatment plants ($3,700,000), pumping station upgrades ($3,640,000), water reservoir expansion, daycare expansion (2019 — $2,200,000). All prices are in 2018 dollars.

During festivities in Almonte on Sunday, May 27 to remember the Battle of the Atlantic, Albert Fox, a mechanic on the destroyer HMCS Restigouche, participates in the waterside service.
Battle remembered TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 in Almonte hosted festivities on May 27 to commemorate the 73rd anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic. The Second World War battle, considered by many to be the most important, lasted 2,075 days, with Canada a principal participant. Sunday's event paid homage to members of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Canadian Merchant Navy (CMN) who lost their lives between September 1939 and May 1945 while keeping the shipping lanes open linking North America with Europe. Members of Branch 240 and Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) Lanark attended, along with local dignitaries, including Lanark Frontenac Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier and Mississippi Mills Coun. Christa Lowry. There was a small crowd of onlookers, which continues to shrink year after year. Festivities included a parade, the laying of wreaths and prayers at the cenotaph, and a waterside service next to the Almonte Old

Our Local Paramedics: A Key Part of Community Care This is Paramedic Services Week and this year’s theme is Paramedics: Health -Community - You. The week recognizes the important role that paramedics play in the health of all individuals. They are the first-line care professionals when you require both emergent and ongoing care. In January, the Paramedic Service introduced a Community Paramedicine program in the Champlain LHIN area (Almonte/Carleton Place/ Lanark) of Lanark County. The goal of this three month pilot project was to determine if specially trained paramedics could reduce the number of calls to 911 and hospital ER visits by providing an enhanced level of care to our citizens. The program saw these paramedics conduct community wellness clinics (BP and health care checks), influenza inoculations to over 200 citizens, and care for over 50 identified “patients at risk” in their homes. The response was overwhelmingly positive. One patient sent a thank you card stating: “The paramedics are wonderful and have allowed me to stay in my home. I am so grateful to them”. The Service is requesting ongoing funding with the Champlain LHIN to continue with this program. In the Perth/Smiths Falls area, the South East LHIN has also provided funding for a similar program that will begin in late May. The Service has also increased its ability to care for traumatically injured children in Lanark County with a change to our transport rules. The Service will now be able to bypass local hospitals and transport children directly to either CHEO or the Ottawa Civic depending on the severity of their injuries. While the number of children suffering from acute injuries is low, this change will certainly benefit those who require this advanced care.

During a recent county council meeting, Warden John Fenik declared that May 27th to June 2nd is Paramedic Services week in Lanark County. At the same time, he noted: “Paramedics are of vital importance in Lanark County, and the goal of Paramedic Services Week is to raise community awareness and appreciation of the services provided by these men and women. The skills and quality care rendered by the paramedics are an integral part of the health care system.” Chief Ed McPherson echoed his words, noting that he has the best job in the county and is proud to work with the highly trained paramedics who care for the citizens of Lanark County, 24 hours per day. Paramedic Services Week recognizes the important role of paramedics - and their evolving role in keeping our communities healthy. Join in the celebrations!

The Service is also continuing its work on introducing the new Advanced Care Paramedic Program which is slated to begin in 2019. This program will see the use of “Advanced Care Paramedics” who will be able to provide an additional level of care to our most ill patients.
While these programs will certainly benefit the residents of Lanark County, they are a small part of the numerous programs that the paramedics are involved in. From safety visits to local schools, volunteering at many community events and providing a helping hand at Christmas with the Food Bank Drive, our paramedics are proud to serve.

tion and time at the competition. CPHS drama teacher Heather Mortimer told the Canadian Gazette the kids were thrilled with their performance on Friday night. Receiving an incredible audience response at the festival, including laughter and a standing ovation, "their best show of the whole run," she said. "The audience was so completely engaged and involved in the show, and our performers fed off that, making their characters even bigger and funnier," Mortimer continued. "It was fantastic!"

The Carleton Place High School Drama Team, above, recently returned from the 2018 National Theatre School Drama Festival Provincial Showcase with an award for Theatrical Joy. Held at St. Benedict Catholic High School in Cambridge, Ont., the competition ran over four days, May 9-12. Cambridge, CPHS competed against 12 other schools, narrowed down from an initial 350. CPHS made it to the provincial showcase by claiming an Outstanding Production award at the regional competition, which took place April 11-13 at Perth & District Collegiate Institute. Moreover, student director Shamus Merkley earned an Award of Excellence for his
work. Too, Kristian Johnson received an Award of Excellence for his acting skills in three different roles in the play. The district competition was held March 20-24 at Gloucester High School. There, the CPHS group won an Outstanding Production award, with Johnson, Merkley and Hailey Lafleur Bell all receiving individual Awards of Merit and Distinction. The costuming team also won an Award of Excellence at this showcase. "This is only our second year competing," Mortimer said, and CPHS' first trip to the provincials. As noted in a media communiqué, the festival's executive director, Wayne Fairhead, told the CPHS group he hoped it would not be its last. During the awards ceremony May 12, regarding CPHS' award for Theatrical Joy, festival judge Erin Brubacher commented: "Being in a room with you guys and experiencing the joy that you had in the work you were doing together is really one of the most beautiful things I have experienced this weekend." The team left Carleton Place for Cambridge May 9, a day after CPHS held a wellattended pep rally. Four parents travelled with Mortimer, offering much support. At the festival, learning from professionals at workshops during the day as well as peers in other shows, members of the CPHS drama team are home with a tool belt of strategies and a head full of inspiration and dreams.

• Floodplain Mapping Updates • Surplus Farm Severance Zoning: 1670 Lockhead Road • Temporary Zoning Amendment: 4041 Moodie Drive • Surplus Farm Severance Zoning: 6420 First Line Road After a few months of busy meetings with the Cranberry Creek, Hard Rock Casino Ottawa, Site Alteration By-Law and the Carlsbad Springs waste recovery facility, this is a fairly light agenda in comparison. The report on the floodplain mapping recommends approving updates to the zoning by-law to reflect new floodplain mapping conducted by the Conservation Authorities. Lands affected are within the watersheds of Constance Creek, the Ottawa River near Constance Bay, Huntley Creek, Feedmill Creek and the Rideau River between the Ottawa River and Burritt’s Rapids. The temporary zoning amendment for 4041 Moodie Drive will allow Ottawa Fire Services to continue using the City-owned site as a training facility. As usual, we meet at Ben Franklin Place in the Nepean Council Chambers and our meetings begin at 10:00am.

COMMUNITY
Gravestone for forgotten hero George Ecclesto be unveiled June 3 On Aug. 26, 1909, Almonte native George Eccles was the radio telegrapher aboard the S.S. Ohio when it hit uncharted rocks off the British Columbia coast and began to sink rapidly. Five lives were lost, but 208 lives were saved due to his efforts to radio for help, and in doing so, Eccles died at his post. Eccles was the first radio telegrapher to die at sea. His fame was worldwide, and his funeral in Almonte was front page news, but for reasons un-
known, the grave was never marked. Now - 109 years later that omission will be remedied, thanks to the efforts of C.R. Gamble Funeral Home of Almonte, and Kinkaid & Loney Monuments of Smiths Falls. Marking the occasion will be, among others, Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin, Josh and Reg Gamble of C.R. Gamble Funeral Home and John Bowes of Kinkaid & Loney Monuments, and speakers who will explain the historical signif-
icance of this forgotten hero. The event takes place Sunday, June 3 at 2 p.m., rain or shine at the cemetery of St. Paul's Anglican Church, 135 Wolfgrove Road. The cemetery is approximately 500 metres west of the intersection of County Road 29 and Almonte Rd/Wolfgrove Road. Please note that the cemetery is not located next to St. Paul's church; it's just outside town at the address above. – submitted by David Frisch

OBITUARY
STANLEY HUGH SEARLE 1917 - 2018 With the passing of Stanley Hugh Searle in his 101st year, we pause to celebrate an extraordinary person who lived his long life to its fullest. Stan was born on June 26, 1917 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his parents Georgina Marion and Stanley Edwin Searle, his siblings Clayton “Chip” Searle, Minnedosa, Manitoba, Marion Wade, Brandon, Manitoba, Dorothy Sheldon, Brandon, Manitoba and Florence Barker,Regina, Saskatchewan. Stan is survived by three children from his twenty-five-year marriage to Grace Stanley: Dennis Searle (Maija) of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Ruth Misenko (Bob) of Hudson, Wisconsin and Margaret Hallatt (Doug) of Naples, Florida; six grandchildren, Toni Searle (Dawn) of Chemanus, British Columbia, Tiina Searle (Rob) of Ottawa, Ontario, Kai Rodgers (Matt) of Red Wing, Minnesota, Ian Misenko (Erika) of Pillager, Minnesota, Christopher Hallatt of San Diego, California, and Scott Hallatt of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; and, thirteen great grandchildren. Stan’s early years were spent in Rapid City and Brandon, Manitoba where he developed a love of farming through his Uncle Fred, of whom he was extremely fond. As a young man, Stan served Canada during World War II as a flight instructor with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Saskatchewan and overseas. Stan’s inquiring and active mind propelled him into higher education. He earned three university degrees: a B.A. at Brandon College (Brandon University), a B. Div. at United College (University of Winnipeg) and an M.A. in adult education at the University of Guelph. Stan was ordained as a minister with the United Church of Canada. He was a charismatic preacher who loved singing the old hymns and helping people whatever their needs might be. Stan pastored churches in Nipigon, Ontario, Winnipeg, Manitoba and Brandon, Manitoba. He then served as the Principal of the Atlantic Christian Training Center (ACTC) in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. He also served as President of the Manitoba Conference of the United Church, which was a great privilege and honour for him. Stan became more than a fisher of men. During his ministry at Nipigon, he fell in love with Lake Superior, boating and fishing. One of life’s pleasures was savouring a lunch of fresh lake trout, speckled trout or pickerel along the shores of Lake Superior or the smaller lakes in the region. Following his ministry, Stan took up farming, which is not surprising given his roots in rural Manitoba. His partner and helpmate in the farming operation was Donna Lorraine Patterson. They were married under the apple tree at their Clayton, Ontario farm in 1971. With much hard work and foresight, they introduced the first Charolais beef cattle in eastern Ontario. Stan took great pleasure in farming and loved it even more when his children, Dennis and Ruth, along with their families, visited and pitched in. Even through his later years, Stan maintained a twinkle in his eyes and a natural charm that put people at ease. He was a natural story teller who could fill the room with his presence. Stan was always grateful for the support of his wonderful helpmate Donna, his family, friends and neighbours. He truly appreciated the caring professionalism of a wonderful human being, Dr. Roger Drake and the loving care of the amazing staff at Stoneridge Manor nursing home in Carleton Place, Ontario. A private family celebration of Stan’s life will be held this summer. He will be remembered and missed.

BARRIE, Donald - In loving memory of Donald Barrie, May 23, 1930-May 29, 2002. We can not think of them as dead, Who walk with us no more, Along the path of life we tread, They have but gone before. Don’s weary hours and days of pain, His sleepless nights are past. His ever-patient worn out frame, Has found sweet rest at last. Wife Phyllis Donna and family BARRIE, Donald G.M. 1920-2002. God took the strength of a mountain The majesty of a tree The warmth of summer sun The calm of a quiet sea The generous soul of nature The comforting arm of night The wisdom of the ages The power of eagle’s flight The joy of morning in spring The faith of a mustard seed The patience of eternity The depth of a family need Then God combined these qualities When there was nothing more to add He knew his Masterpiece was complete And so He called it... Dad. Lovingly missed by daughter, Donna grandchildren Michael (Donna) Grant (Becky) Joshua and Ruth)
In loving memory of a dear husband, father, stepfather, grandfather and great-grandfather, who passed away June 4, 2017. In tears we watched you sinking, And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again? It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day called you home. Always loved Bernice and families
CRAIG, SHIRLEY ANN May 31/2017 In loving memory of my young bride and mother to our daughters. Until we meet again. Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again, Just like we used to do, You always meant so much, And always will do too. The fact that you’re no longer here, Will always cause me pain, But you’re forever in my heart, Until we meet again… Miss you every day Daryl, Angela and Tracy
