TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Five portables are slated for Carleton Place High School (CPHS) - encroaching 12 feet into the neighbouring green area Riverside Park. A motion was carried by Carleton Place council at the planning and protection meeting on Sept. 4 to authorize the municipality's chief administrative officer (CAO), Diane Smithson, to negotiate a 10-year lease with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), allowing the board to intrude onto Riverside Park for the purpose of installing portables. In an Aug. 23 letter to the town from the UCDSB's director of education, Stephen Sliwa, it was outlined why the portables are required at CPHS. See FIVE, page 2

FIVE PORTABLES TO ADDRESS CAPACITY NEEDS Continued from page 1

Between September 2016 and now, CPHS has seen its population increase by 25 per cent - 194 students. Although growth was anticipated by the UCDSB, the speed and magnitude of it was unexpected. According to Sliwa, the board predicts CPHS' enrolment to peak at approximately 920 students over the next 15 years. CPHS is beginning to discuss long-term strategies, a more permanent solution to address meet its growing capacity needs. Smithson noted the portables would offer a temporary solution ..."it will take some time for them to get ministerial approval if they do an addition onto

the school." "They are asking for five portables now," Coun. Theresa Fritz noted. "What happens if it is five years down the road and they need another two?" "Portables are a reality as school populations grow; however, I do not want to see the park encroached on further because it is there," she stressed. "Will we have a hand in determining what the portables look like? Mayor Louis Antonakos asked. "I understand the portables are needed for learning purposes, but we are talking about a number of them." "Throughout our school boards, I have seen portables in varying degrees of condition," he continued.

"Can we maintain a consistent look and feel ... relating to the school and the setting - the park?" Antonakos noted Riverside Park is used for weddings, pictures and parties. "I can put the request forward to the school board," Smithson said. "Obviously, there is a need for more capacity at the high school, relating to growth and the school board's shifting priorities," Antonakos stated. He noted Grade 7 and Grade 8 students are now housed in area secondary schools. According to Coun. Sean Redmond, three sites for the portables were considered, including the existing ball diamond, which is in use most nights of the week and on weekends.

Tara Gesner/Metroland Carleton Place chief administrative officer Diane Smithson has received council approval to negotiate a 10-year lease with the Upper Canada District School Board, allowing the board to encroach 12 feet into Riverside Park for the purpose of installing five portables. Another site: the rear of CPHS, which would cause concerns with the property being within the floodplain and regulated area. Owing to a suggestion by Smithson, council agreed to charge the UCDSB market rent for use of the land.

"One thing I can tell you from past experience, I have been in a lease agreement on the other side of the equation where a municipality has had to lease space from a school board," the CAO said. "We were charged market rent." Riverside Park, located

on the west end of John Street and running along the Mississippi River, includes two boat launches, beach, picnic area, two play structures and splash pad. Redmond chaired the planning and protection meeting.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Concerns over Central Bridge in Carleton Place, the main crossing over the Mississippi River on Bridge Street, have led to vehicle weight restrictions. Based on a recommendation from the town's engineering firm, council has enacted a bylaw restricting allowable vehicle weights crossing over the bridge. Signs alerting motorists to the restrictions were installed at strategic locations in Carleton Place on Monday, Sept. 10. As of now, the maximum gross vehicle weights for Central Bridge are as follows: single unit, 15 tonnes; tractor trailer unit, 25 tonnes; and tractor multitrailer unit, 35 tonnes. Central Bridge was constructed in 1928 and rehabilitated in 1983. Last December, Paul Knowles, the former chief administrative officer and current special projects co-ordinator, informed council, a detailed analysis of Central Bridge identified structural deficiencies and insufficient load carrying capacity. "It is too far gone and replacement is

recommended," he said. The cost of the massive infrastructure project could be upwards of $10 million, and without any upper tier funding (provincial and federal governments) it would be a huge hit on the town's financ-

es.

Initially, rehabilitation of Central Bridge was a possibility, with the cost projected to be just over $2 million. The town did apply for funding (just under $1.1 million) by way of the Ontario Com-

SPECIAL PURCHASE

munity Infrastructure Fund; however, it was not successful. Anyone requiring further information regarding Central Bridge is invited to contact the public works department at 613-257-2253.

CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL VOTES AGAINST FOUR-STOREY CONDOMINIUM TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com It was a busy return from summer break for Carleton Place council on Sept. 4, with a key topic of discussion being the proposed four-storey, 33-unit condominium at 50 Allan St. The project by Cheryl Batten, president and chief executive officer of Batten Developments Ltd., continues to draw the attention of neighbours and other community members, and the Sept. 4 planning and protection meeting was moved to the town hall's auditorium to accommodate the crowd in attendance. Councillors Brian Doucett and Ross Trimble were absent from the gathering, and Coun. Sean Redmond declared a conflict of interest and left the room. Redmond and his partner, Kathy Taylor, live across the street from the proposed development, which has been on the radar for five years. During the planning and protection meeting, council members voted 3-1 against the current submitted version of the 50 Allan St. proposal. Deputy Mayor Jerry

Flynn was the sole 'nay'. As a result of the vote, Batten will need to make changes to her project and resubmit to the town or challenge the legality of council's decision.

Background According to municipal planner and manager of development services Joanna Bowes, 50 Allan St. is a consolidation of three properties: the old curling club, which was sold to the developer by the town; 44 Allan St. (to be demolished); and 139 Charles St. (to be demolished). Bowes noted the project does conform to the Provincial Policy Statement and is consistent with the County of Lanark Sustainable Communities Official Plan (OP). Too, the majority of the project is consistent with the town's OP; however, it is not entirely consistent with respect to the Community Design Framework section and the Mississippi District Residential subsection under the Land Use Policies module. Planning staff has recommended the building be redesigned to three stories maximum

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The Mississippi Mills Fire Department has responded to 14 carbon monoxide calls so far this year and with help from Project Zero, they hope to significantly reduce that number in the future. During the Sept. 4 Mississippi Mills council meeting, it was announced the fire department is the recipient of 120 combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms through the Project Zero public education campaign. It's an initiative spearheaded by Enbridge Gas Distribution and partnered on through the Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council. "We will be ensuring that residents of Mississippi Mills will have free smoke and CO detectors for anyone that wants one," explained the Mississippi Mills Fire Department (MMFD) acting fire

chief, Bruce Toshack. "This program can help ensure residents' safety and we can go in and leave an actual brand new smoke detector with them ... and hopefully in the long term there will be zero deaths by fire and CO in the future." MMFD, which has 42 trained volunteers split between two stations in Almonte and Pakenham, will also stock their trucks with the batteryoperated alarms when attending fire calls for homes with a deficient number of alarms or faulty units. Enbridge committed $200,000 to the Project Zero campaign this year, providing more than 6,600 to 30 Ontario municipalities and its residents. The initiative was established in 2009 and since that time, nearly 35,000 alarms have been distributed to fire departments across the province. "We're still tragically

losing people across the province due to smoke alarm deaths and carbon monoxide, so congratulations to Mississippi Mills and Enbridge Gas for capitalizing on a program that really does connect with residents that need it the most and help keep them safe, which is important to all of us," noted Tawnya Roberts of the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management. Roberts noted Enbridge provides alarms, but also educational materials to fire departments. "McNab/Braeside (fire department), for example, chose to use the educational materials. They felt they would be the most valuable," she stated. Combination alarms provide the early warning needed to escape from a fire or CO exposure, which is a toxic, odourless gas. The Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council recommends CO alarms

COMMUNITY

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The men's shed movement has been gaining steam across the globe and now Mississippi Mills men seeking fellowship and to contribute to their community need look no further than the Naismith Men's Shed. Having just formed in late spring, the group, now 25 members strong, had a steady stream of visitors to their booth shared with Carleton Place's Hackberry Men's Shed, at the Sept. 6 North Lanark Seniors' Expo at the Almonte Community Centre. According to shed leader Dave Steventon, the concept for the group came from similar men's sheds in Carleton Place and Perth. "It follows a worldwide phenomenon that's taken place over the last 10 years and started in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom, Canada and the United States," he explained. Men's sheds were established to provide retired men with a social circle. According to the Ca-

nadian Men's Sheds Association, often when men retire, they lose their social lifestyle and schedule as many of their friends were made through work. "When many men retire, their feeling of selfworth can diminish," noted a report by Canadian Men's Sheds Association president, Doug Mackie. "They no longer bring home a paycheque. Their income may have dropped. What is their new reality? What plans do they have to keep busy?" Losing that social aspect can cause feelings of loneliness, isolation, depression and ageism, but that's where men's sheds can help by creating a supportive community. "At the core of men's sheds, there's an old saying that when you retire, men ask 'Is this it?' We are it," Steventon noted. "What we offer is friendship that's different from a service club, per se. We're a group of men offering friendship ... it's all about getting to know each other and making friends ... it's about working shoulder to shoul-

der." The group decided upon the Naismith name to identify themselves because of the historic contributions Almonte native, James Naismith, made to the community. "We're using his name with the blessing of the family. His grandson was delighted that we chose the name," Steventon said. Since forming in spring, the group meets often for breakfast meetings and has completed several projects in the community, including constructing raised garden beds near the community friendship oven at the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. Their latest is helping build bee hotels for a Sept. 16 Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust workshop at High Lonesome Nature Reserve, outside Pakenham. "Last week, five men got together and we made a pile of these bee condos. It was a very fantastic friendship experience," Steventon said.

Ashley Kulp/Metroland The Naismith Men's Shed group was recently formed in Mississippi Mills, building on the worldwide men's fellowship movement. Pictured, members Ron Lavoie, right, and leader Dave Steventon were at the North Lanark Seniors' Expo at the Almonte Community Centre Sept. 6 to raise awareness of the group. learning from each other." For Steventon, the men's shed is all about improving health and quality of life. He enjoys the informal environment and relaxed, creative space the group has already cultivated in a short time. "Baby boomers are discovering there are things to do. This is the golden time," he remarked, noting

that the group is becoming more diverse as new members join. "We have wood carvers, carpenters, artists, musicians, stained glass artists. These are people with a variety of skills." Their next goal is to find a more permanent spot to meet on a regular basis. "We're doing things to help out in the community and hopefully when we get es-

tablished we'll be able to do a lot more," member Ron Lavoie stated. The Naismith Men's Shed is open to all men in the Municipality of Mississippi Mills and surrounding areas. Those seeking more information, can contact Dave Steventon (613257-7048), John Peters (613461-0013) or email naismithmensshed@gmail.com.

OPINION EDITORIAL

COMMUNITY NEWS IN THE DIGITAL AGE What is the role of a community newspaper in 2018? This is a question we take seriously here at Metroland, where we pride ourselves in our dedication to bringing the communities we live and work in news that is important to them. We're finding that certain kinds of stories that were relevant 20-plus years ago are no longer so due to technological advances like smartphones and social media platforms. For example, our papers have traditionally covered high school graduations and first days of school. But lately we've been asking ourselves if this sort of coverage is really the best way to serve our communities? Anyone with a Facebook account knows to expect their feed flooded with all their friends' kids' adorable back-to-school photos every year on the first day of school. Everyone who knows and cares about each of these kids will see and appreciate these photos. Would a reporter's time not be better served digging deeper into issues that impact the community as a whole? Analytics also tell us that people care about local business stories, but not necessarily the kind that have traditionally been covered by community papers. Readers want to know about good local places to eat and if a new kind of store is coming to town; they care less about ribbon cuttings and cheque presentations. Perhaps once again, technology is a factor. Most businesses have their own Facebook pages these days, and if the owner wants to hand a huge cheque to a local charity, they can tell the world about it themselves via social media. The same can be said of sports coverage. What purpose does it serve for your local paper to recap games and list scores when most leagues and teams have their own websites and social media pages that do the exact same thing? We're confident that if a local team or athlete has a good story to tell, this is indeed best handled by one of our trained journalists. But in terms of the day-to-day reports, does it really serve anyone for us to be "competing" with, say, the Smith Falls Bears' Facebook page? Times change, and like every other industry, we must change with them. One thing remains the same, however, and that is our dedication is to factual, relevant reporting. Our role as a trusted news source is not something we take lightly, and our goal will always be to bring our readers stories and information that are important to them.

Times change, and like every other industry, we must change with them.

WHO WE ARE

CANDIDATE CO-ORDINATION CAN BE FRUSTRATING AT TIMES THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column

Well, a few weeks ago, Ashley Kulp (fellow news editor) and I sent out emails to some 150-plus election candidates requesting answers to those burning questions: Why should we vote for you? Who are you, and how are you going to make a difference? We also asked for a photo. Easy stuff, we thought. Sound familiar? I do hope so. If you have already sent in your info, thank you! If you haven't, it's not too late. Deep breath! I do need to apologize. I forgot Montague participants, so there is a new deadline - Sept. 16, 4:30 p.m.

For everyone! We have a love-hate relationship with this election process. We are tasked with collecting these tidbits and photos, editing them, and colour correcting the photos. We then package and send them to our pagination team for publication. We had a deadline of Sept. 7; but of course, that is not the real deadline. No siree. We have extended that now for a variety of challenging reasons. Some of the excuses for missing deadlines are hysterical! • "As you can appreciate, I have just been so busy..." (Not sure what to say in response.) • "Is this photo OK?" - (In comes a screengrab png. Oh, did I mention there were five people in the photo, so the headshot of the candidate is going to be the size of a postage stamp.) • "I know how important deadlines are..." (No, clearly you don't, but it gets bet-

ter). "I work for a newspaper." (Brilliant, so you DO know the importance of deadlines.) • "I don't have a photo..." (Great, we can insert a cat picture.) • "I am not good at computing..." (Perfect, you may want to get up to speed before elected to office.) • "Can I get an extension, please?" (Sure, why not. Our deadlines are not that important.) • Five consecutive emails from one person with changes in each one. (Ugh.) • Anything but word documents and jpg files. We are hoping to have our special election section out in a couple of weeks. Laurie Weir is the news editor for the Smiths Falls Record News and the Perth Courier.

Tara Gesner/Metroland Now in its fifth year, the Mississippi Mills River Walk and Run, supporting women's health and the birthing unit at the Almonte General Hospital, took place on Saturday, Sept. 8, with approximately 325 walkers, runners and volunteers coming together to raise $34,646. The event, offering 3 kilometre (km), 5km and 10 km routes, started and finished behind the hospital and Fairview Manor, located at 75 Spring Street. Above: The start of the 10km event.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS RIVER WALK AND RUN NETS NEARLY $35,000 FOR AGH The fifth annual Mississippi Mills River Walk and Run in support of women's health and the obstetrics program at the Almonte General Hospital (AGH) took place on Saturday, Sept. 8 with more than 325 walkers, runners and volunteers raising a record $34,646. The event, which featured three different routes: 3 km, 5 km and 10 km, took participants through the beautiful town of Almonte near the Mississippi River and both started and finished behind the hospital and Fairview Manor (FVM). Local Shoppers Drug Mart owner and pharmacist Rina Houri, the event's presenting sponsor, feels that like the hospital and manor, Shoppers Drug Mart helps ensure quality health care close to home. "Shoppers Drug Mart is dedicated to caring for the health and well-being of our employees, patients and customers, as well as the communities in which they live and work," said Houri. "We have been involved in this wonderful event for all five years as part of our corporate commitment to promoting and supporting women's health. We took over

the title sponsorship last year, and staff feel a real sense of pride that we're supporting such a worthwhile and family fun event." "These funds will, among other things, help the foundation finish paying for the two new digital ultrasound machines the hospital has been using since early 2017," continued foundation vice chair and event committee chair Julie Munro. "As we've learned, ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool for the physicians in so many areas including obstetrics, gynecology, emergency, and family medicine. Hundreds of patients are benefitting from this new equipment every month. Having added a second ultrasound machine also means the wait times have gone from two months to two weeks." Prizes were awarded to the top three male and three female finishers in all timed events and to the top fundraiser and top fundraising team. Official times for all participants are available at www.runninggoattiming.com. As well as Shoppers Drug Mart Almonte, other sponsors who contributed to the success of

the event included: Levi Home Hardware, Bean Chev Olds GMC, C.R. Gamble Funeral Home and Chapel, Art and Helen Levi, Priority Patient Transfer, Patrice's Your Independent Grocer, Orchard View by the Mississippi, Coady's Car Care, L.G. Lee & Sons, Almonte Civitan Club, Almonte Chiropratic, Vamos, Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette, Eldon Munro Construction, Comfort LNC and Broker Link. The AGH FVM Foundation is currently raising $4 million through the Put Yourself in the Picture campaign to cover the cost of having replaced all of the diagnostic imaging equipment at the hospital and to acquire a CT scan. The hospital counts 100 per cent on funds raised from the community through the foundation to purchase new and replacement equipment. For more information on 'putting yourself in the picture', visit www.almontehospitalfoundation.com or call 613-256-2500 ext. 2296. Submitted by the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation

ment contributed to the character of the Mississippi District area, being an area intended to encourage growth to support the downtown core. "This project is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Lanark County and Carleton Place Official Plans and is appropriate for the development of the property, and it is good planning," she said.

Concerns A plethora of comments regarding 50 Allan St. have been collected from the public - mostly neighbours. They generally concerned traffic and visibility, safety of pedestrians and cyclists, environmental concerns, structure height and appearance, density, roads and sidewalks and privacy. During a special meeting on Aug. 7, 15 residents registered to speak on the development. Allan Street is a short and winding residential road off Bridge Street, zoned as Mississippi District Residential. There is a

mixture of older and modern homes, some backing back onto the Mississippi River. "A lot of the comments coming in from the public were to do with concerns about poorly maintained streets, the existing street width and the current pumping station," Bowes noted. However, in co-operation with the developer, the town would widen a portion of Allan Street, and it also planned to update and improve both the water services and the pumping station. The developer's share would be $250,000 to $290,000. In regards to agency comments, the town's accessibility committee noted the project must conform o accessibility requirements under the Ontario Building Code. The local urban forest/river corridor advisory committee had a handful of concerns, including the protection of three hackberry trees on site. Too, the committee asked the developer to use permeable pavement to assist in stormwater retention. It noted the pro-

posed four-storey building may dominate the local housing community. Hydro One noted a line expansion might be required, depending on the developer's requirements. According to the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, there are no natural heritage features on the property; however, the regulation limit applies to the northwest corner of the lot. As a result, the project requires the permitting. "We were advised to ask for more than we wanted and then give concession to end up where we wanted to be in the first place," Batten stated. "We did not do that." She added: "We approached this project honestly and planned this building as thoughtfully as possible, which has now left us without the possibility of giving any concessions." Batten highlighted a number of key points: obligated by the town to build multi-residential when the property was sold with a repurchase clause added; obligated to develop (and purchase) the three adjoining lots along with the lot pur-

chased from the town; concept plan of four floors and 36 units was accepted as a permitted use of the site in November 2013; and development permit application was declared complete. "We have followed all the rules and bylaws," she stressed. "The developer has noted in a previous presentation the town has already signed off on 36 units," Bowes said. "The planning rationale report provided by the developer also reflects this notion." "I just want to clarify there was a letter at the time from former chief administrative officer (CAO) Paul Knowles," she continued. "He stated: 'Further to our recent discussion, we generally support the concept of the building and parking garage proposed on the John Donkin sketch of Oct. 19, 2013. However, some refinements to the design will be required to address landscape and setback provision. The 35 units are permitted on the site provided the provisions of our development permit bylaw can be achieved.'"

time consuming," Batten stressed. "The bylaw clearly states four storeys." The developer also wondered why the town was asking for a full geotechnical study, which would "delay the project for at least two months." "Why was it not asked for as part of the development permit application?" Batten asked. "Why is it that all of us - the engineers, the builder, the planning rationale professional and myself - are all asking why now? Thirty-three units will generate approximately $180,000 to $200,000 annually in tax dollars. According to Batten, the upgraded services will directly impact the lifestyles of the homes with previous sewer issues (increased value). Too, the installation of sidewalks and curbs will improve the look of the neighbourhood and increase safety for all. Right now, "there is the possibility of a lawsuit based on the acceptance of our concept plans five years ago and deliberately fostering an understanding that we were on the right track, spending an incredible amount of time and money," the developer commented.

PUBLIC CONCERNS PROMPT COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER

Under the Development Permit Bylaw (DPB) four storeys are permitted. "The town did generally support a similar concept, provided it meets setbacks and landscape and various things," Bowes said. She noted her main concern at this point is the condominium is to be built on bedrock. "I think I want to step back ... I did deem the application complete, but what happened in the meantime ... we had comments come in from neighbours, indicating they are concerned if there is going to be blasting for underground parking," Bowes continued. "They were concerned it could cause damage to their foundations ... were they going to be compensated." The municipal planner and manager of development services noted the developer told her they are not blasting. "That raised some red flags for me," Bowes said. "If we are not blasting ... anyone who has lived in Carleton Place for any amount of time knows it's pretty much bedrock." "Trying to force three storeys will result in an appeal the town will lose, which will be costly and

OPEN DOORS PARTNERS WITH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE IN CELEBRATION OF YOUTH Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, in partnership with the Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Perth Chambers of Commerce and the financial support of the Aviva Community Fund Better Together grant program announces a community event in celebration of youth. "Teens who lead, create and innovate and why

businesses should care" is an event that will celebrate youth as innovators in the arts, sciences, technology and environment and will include displays of local youth projects. The important connection between youth engagement and successful communities is significant and Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth wants the innovative pas-

sion of local youth to have opportunity to be recognized. The event will spark the development of innovations in products, services and civic engagement that can make Lanark a place to celebrate engaged youth and young adults committed to improving our social experiences. It is a complete experience in itself and also serves as the launch of ad-

ditional projects that will build upon this one. This is project builds upon the Art of Resilience project that Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth presented during the summer that highlighted the art of youth from across the county. The highlight of this event will be a community gathering scheduled for 7 p.m., Sept. 27 at the Carleton Place Arena (upper hall) during which youth will display and engage adult participants in stories of their skills, aptitudes and how these are significant for the well-being of a community. We are pleased also that the chambers of commerce have agreed to collaborate on this project and have come together to

assist in organizing for the event and inviting their members to join the celebration. We believe that business leaders are often overlooked when discussion of social and health care resources are raised. That businesses are front and centre for this event shows how the Chambers regard their place in the creation of environments for youth development. The Aviva Community Fund "Better Together" grant program that encourages communities to come together for the betterment of everyone likewise saw the potential for this event to successfully bring together community elements to learn from each other. The grant that they have proposed for

this event will be delivered when Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth submits a short video of event experiences. This video will appear on the Aviva Community Fund website later. This event will also serve as a voting station and "official launch" event for our larger Aviva Community Fund Campaign to help support the development of a Youth Innovation Space for Lanark County.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Surprise someone with flowers - just because. Orders are now being taken for the annual Just Because Roses Sale, presented by the Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills. "We have been doing the Just Because Roses Sale for 13 years," Brenda MacDonaldRowe told the Canadian Gazette. MacDonald-Rowe is the club's president-elect (20192020). Send someone a dozen roses for only $25, which includes local delivery. Colours available: red (love and romance), pink (gentleness and admiration), white (purity, innocence, sympathy and spirituality), or yellow (friendship, joy and get well). "We first started out with all red roses, but more companies were purchasing them for employees to show appreciation," MacDonald-Rowe said. Now, she noted, about 60 per cent are red and "the rest are a beautiful variety." The roses come beautifully boxed with tissue and include the sender's personalized message. "It is fun to send them to someone anonymously," MacDonald-Rowe said. "Someone who least expects it."

All proceeds from the Just Because Roses Sale are invested back into the community. "The funds go to our Rotary community support for the Seniors Christmas Dinner ... we serve 100 seniors a free meal," MacDonald-Rowe said. The Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills,

along with students in Grade 7 and Grade 8 at Carleton Place High School (CPHS), serve and entertain 50 seniors from Carleton Place and 50 seniors from Mississippi Mills. "We also put the funds toward three student bursaries $500 each - given out during graduation at each of the area's

high schools (CPHS, Notre Dame Catholic High School and Almonte District High School)," MacDonald-Rowe noted. "Ordering flowers to surprise a loved one, friend or family member not only shows you care but supports great causes for young and old in our com-

munity," she added. Requests for flowers should be placed before Oct. 1, with delivery happening between Oct. 17 and Oct. 19. To order, call 613-256-8273, visit the Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills Facebook page or email rotarycpmm@gmail.com.

COMMUNITY

DOZENS COME OUT TO 'LIGHT UP THE LABYRINTH' IN CARLETON PLACE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Fall is just around the corner and the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth Committee celebrated the arrival of autumn by lighting up the labyrinth Sept. 7. The annual event encourages visitors to walk the circles of the labyrinth (located behind the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum) against the glow of 600 luminaries. Committee member Christine Hume was pleased to see the large turnout for this year's walk. "I'm really happy to see everybody here and as it starts to get dark, you'll start to see the whole labyrinth aglow and start to come to light," she remarked. Hume noted that while people often refer to labyrinths as mazes, they are

quite different. "A maze is a puzzle that you get lost in and have to try and find your way out. A labyrinth is where you simply follow the grass path to the centre and when you're done, you follow the same path on the way out," she explained. "A saying that I came across recently said 'In a maze, you lose yourself. In a labyrinth, you find yourself.'" While taking a peaceful turn around the labyrinth, Rob McMurray on electric guitar, and Brendan Gawn on bass, provided some peaceful background music for walkers. Guests were encouraged to pick up special stones emblazoned with words of inspiration or lanterns while they walked. "You're kind of releasing everything as you walk to the centre (of the labyrinth)," Hume explained to labyrinth newcomers. "In

the centre, you're there as long as you want to be and receive any guidance. Coming back out, you're returning to your busy, hectic life." "This is just a sacred space where you can have a quiet, get away from it all experience," Hume added.

RAINBOW FLAG TO BE RAISED AT CARLETON PLACE TOWN HALL TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Around the world the rainbow flag is the most recognizable symbol representing gay pride. On Sept. 29 the flag will be raised for the first time at Carleton Place Town Hall, 175 Bridge St. The ceremony begins at 1 p.m., ahead of the municipality's inaugural Pride festival. During the planning and protection meeting on Sept. 4 council members unanimously embraced raising the flag, a request from resident Kory Earle. Earle is a member of the Pride festival's organizing committee, along with By-

ron Wilson, Frances Ebbrell, Angie Mills, Kate Murray, Paola Villa and April Marie Wood. On Tuesday night Coun. Theresa Fritz voiced her support for raising the rainbow flag, and the Pride festival. She expressed: "I think this is an exciting time, not just for Carleton Place but our country and the world. Times are changing. We saw a great Pride celebration in Smiths Falls, and I think it is wonderful we are going to be able to have a celebration here." Fritz added, "I think it is a great move for everyone, and it really speaks to the inclusion this community is

all about." The rainbow flag will fly at Carleton Place Town Hall until Oct. 1. "This is a historic event for Carleton Place," Earle told council. "Things have changed, but we are not there yet." "It is an opportunity for us to show our Pride colours," he added. Coun. Sean Redmond chaired the planning and protection meeting. The first-ever Pride festival in Smiths Falls took place on Aug. 18, featuring a parade, potluck dinner and dance. Hundreds participated. "We are not doing a parade," Earle noted. "Instead,

we are going to have everyone come out and sing." Carleton Place's Pride Festival runs from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Market Square. Admission is free to attend. Festivities include a lip sync battle, drag show, DJ Rush N Noise, Extreme Fabulettes, vendor market, kid zone and so much more. "It is a family-oriented event," Earle advised. "Everyone is welcome." For additional information about the Pride festival, becoming a vendor ($35 per table), registering for the lip sync battle ($25 per person) or volunteering, contact Wilson at 613-315-4355 or mr.wilson85@yahoo.ca.

OPINION

JEFF MAGUIRE ENCOURAGES FANS TO SUPPORT THIS HIGH LEVEL OF CCHL PLAY ACTION. JEFF MAGUIRE Column

On a sweltering Labour Day weekend the hockey season yes hockey, already - began in our region. I realize hockey is a year-round business in this country. But I am talking about league hockey and the beginning of a brand new regular season. The Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) held its annual 'Fall Showcase' an event that ran for three days at Bell Sensplex in Kanata. Seems awfully

early but the 12 team Jr. A league runs a long campaign that doesn't conclude until mid-March. This year they partnered with the HEO Midget AAA league to organize a seasonopening extravaganza that featured 36 total games. The reason for so many contests in one arena complex is to give scouts an opportunity for an early look at the talent available in both the CCHL and the Midget AAA loop. More than 150 scouts from the National Hockey League, National Collegiate Athletic Association, the three Major Jr. A leagues and other related sports programs close-

ly watched the action. The Eastern Ontario-based CCHL features fast, entertaining hockey. I have been following and promoting the league for many years now and the only negative in my opinion is the lack of coverage the league receives from the daily media in this region. Admittedly in the midst of the fast changing internet era the mainstream media has taken a big hit. Contraction across the board means the media's ability to cover many things, including amateur sports, has suffered badly. A good case in point is the recent Junior Club World Cup which was played in Sochi, Russia Aug. 18-26. An all-star team from the CCHL had the honour of representing Canada in the eight-team event

tawa Junior Senators, went 3-0 in the recent showcase event. Their three victories in as many days included a 3-1 opening game decision over the Junior Sens who are currently rebuilding after a very successful 2017-2018 campaign. Also posting perfect records during the showcase were Kemptville 73's and Hawkesbury Hawks. Two other CCHL teams from our area, Smiths Falls Bears and Brockville Braves, were both a solid 2-1. Jr. A hockey in Canada and the United States (there are 10 leagues across the continent) is particularly interesting and important. Fans have the opportunity to enjoy the game at a high level and at the same time support leagues which are heavily focused on education, building character and helping provide a future for players. Worthy goals in my opinion!

HARD TO BELIEVE BUT HOCKEY SEASON UNDERWAY

played in the same facilities as the 2014 Winter Olympics. The CCHL squad, nicknamed 'Ottawa Capitals' for the purposes of the competition, won third place bronze medals with a thrilling 2-1 shootout win over Red Bull Salzburg of Austria. I didn't read or hear anything about the tournament in the daily media, either before, during or after the competition. I think that's sad considering the size of the growing Ottawa and eastern Ontario market! Fortunately the community media, including this newspaper, did cover the tournament and they also follow the CCHL and other local sports throughout the season. That aside I have been asked by loyal fans of the league and readers how the CCHL shapes up this season. I'm not big on predictions! But I do think the results from the season opening Fall Showcase (Sept. 1-3) in Kanata provide some indication. Carleton Place Canadians, who just missed out on a fifth consecutive league championship last spring, falling to arch rival Ot-

Hollie Pratt-Campbell/Metroland Film crews shoot The Christmas Getaway in Almonte. North Market Cafe has been transformed into Fortenbury Books for the purposes of the movie.

FAKE SNOW, REAL FILM STARS DESCEND ON ALMONTE THIS MONTH HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com It's a gorgeous, early September day in the town of Almonte. The humidex brings the temperature well above 30 C as the sun beats down upon the bronze James Naismith statue, yet the pretty white snow stubbornly refuses to melt. Wait - what? This scene likely doesn't sound that unusual to the residents of Almonte, who over the

last several years have seen their town become a much sought-after destination for filmmaking, particularly films of the Christmas variety that you can view on places like the Hallmark Channel. The working title of the movie currently being filmed is The Christmas Getaway. It stars Alexandra Breckenridge (of This is Us fame), Jamie Spilchuk, Jane Alexander and Tara Spencer Nairn, and is directed by Megan Follows, famous for portraying

Anne Shirley in the classic Anne of Green Gables miniseries. It tells of a young New York executive who experiences a disappointing failure at her job right before Christmas and decides to get away from her hectic life by visiting a small town. There is an apartment she can rent and work in, and a bookstore below, which seems like the ideal respite over the holiday season. Production co-ordinator Ainslie Wiggs says this is the fourth film she's worked on in the Al-

monte/Carleton Place area in the last two years. "Almonte and Carleton Place look like the quintessential small towns one imagines in a Rockwell painting," she says. "They are quaint, architecturally interesting, and the people are genuinely enthusiastic to participate in the filming process." Wiggs says that about 95 per cent of the movie is being filmed in the area.

LAND TRUST HOSTS BEE HOTEL WORKSHOP SEPT. 16 The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust invites families and all interested individuals to participate in a Bee Hotel Workshop on Sunday, Sept. 16 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the High Lonesome Nature Reserve, outside Pakenham. Care for your garden as nature intended ... with the help of useful insects. Bees and wasps are beneficial to people and the ecosystem as a whole, helping with pollination and serving as a food source for birds and natural pest control. They have a symbiotic relationship with other creatures, in other words they play a role in the balance of natu-

re. The diversity of these creatures will fascinate and engage you. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) works with landowners who love their land and want it to be conserved for future generations. On our MMLT lands, we protect the natural world and our plan is to learn about these insects by constructing bee hotels. Why not share this initiative with a community of nature lovers through a workshop designed carefully to our local needs? Offering a refuge to beneficial insects, especially pollinators, insect hotels can help declining popula-

tions due to habitat loss, pollution and abuse of pesticides. Countless stores sell bee hotels and numerous blogs and websites have step-by-step manuals on how to build one yourself. But while esthetically pleasing and well-intentioned, these insect hotels often offer unsuitable homes for the target insects of our region. This workshop is different. Rob Longair, an entomologist who has studied wasps and bees for more than 40 years, will describe some of our local solitary bees and wasps, their important role in our natural world and the variety of

nesting materials they use. Commercial bee hotels often fail to use the variety of hole sizes that attract some of the overlooked pollinators, like yellow-faced bees and cellophane bees, as well as predators like passaloecus, a small, aphidhunting wasp. Armed with this understanding, you will create a custom bee hotel to attract your favourites, choosing the most appropriate from among the various blocks, reeds and other materials provided. All materials are natural and local - no bamboo from the dollar store, plastic, metal or glass, just local wood, hollow phragmite stems etc. The Mississippi Mills Naismith Men's Shed are partnering with MMLT to provide the shells for the hotels, with MMLT supplying the hotel furnishings. This workshop is open to adults and children aged five and up. Each family or

film crews, but she's worked to develop a good relationship with them over the years and they keep coming back to the Almonte area. "It's a small town so we all know each other and we know our assets," she says. "I usually get a call from a location manager a couple of weeks in advance and they say 'we're looking for a big country house that's Christmasy or Haunted looking etc.' I will then send them screen captures of places I know and put her in contact

with people I think would be interested." Elgin Street in Almonte is particularly popular. "It has a lot of wood-sided larger homes that are set back off the street enough for their shots," MacLaren explains. It's a slower residential area and the houses look like small town USA." The cast and crew is expected to be in Almonte until Sept. 17, and the film will air on various television stations over the upcoming Christmas season.

"We filmed at the church at the Cumberland Village Museum, a couple of downtown (Ottawa) locations for the New York scenes, and a rural property near Almonte." Also, be on the lookout for scenes filmed in Baker Bob's and North Market Cafe and Catering, the latter of which has been turned into "Fortenbury Books" for the purposes of the film. Executive producer Ric Nish admits that it's "challenging" to shoot a Christmas movie in the middle of the summer. What's the biggest aspect of this challenge? "Snow," he says. "It's not easy making a street, a park, a house front look like it's in the middle of Christmas when you're shooting in 30 degree weather in September." In order to fake the snow, a mixture of products are used, from paper to real crushed ice to "snow blankets." "Those are just white blankets, for the background," Nish explains. "Far from the camera in the background you can just put down a layer of basically white fabric, put some stuff on top and it's magic." This is Nish's first time to Almonte. "It's fantastic," he says. "Creatively, it's beauti-

ful. It has all the elements architecturally and the geography, that just lend themselves so well to any story in terms of visual medium. And it photographs beautifully, especially at this time of year with the light. There's that magic time early in the morning or the afternoon." Nish also notes that the people of Almonte have been extremely welcoming. "We're just so thrilled to be here, and to be accepted into the community to shoot here," he says. "We do not take this for granted.' Tiffany MacLaren, community economic and cultural co-ordinator for the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, says the crew estimates that this movie alone will bring about $90,000 into the local economy over the two to three week shoot, which includes everything from catering and accommodations for the cast and crew to supplies to build the set purchased from the local hardware store. "None of this includes what the cast and crew spend on their own while they are in town," she adds. "I always hear from store owners that they meet cast and crew them shopping in town during the shoot." MacLaren says the municipality hasn't done anything specific to attract the

LOCAL AUTHOR'S NEW SUSPENSE NOVEL ALREADY OPTIONED FOR MOVIE IAIN REID'S NEW NOVEL, 'FOE,' WAS RELEASED AUG. 7 HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com "A very pleasant surprise." That's how author Iain Reid describes the tremendous success he's experienced over the past couple of years, during which he published a hit novel, sold its rights to a celebrated Hollywood director, wrote another novel (published this month) that's already receiving rave reviews, and sold its rights to the award-winning film company Anonymous Content. Reid grew up on a farm just outside Carleton Place and currently lives in Kingston. His first book, a memoir called One Bird's Choice, tells of his return to the family farm as a young adult to do some soul-searching during a transitional point in his life; the second, The Truth About Luck, is another memoir about a road trip he took with his 90-year-old grandmother. Reid's first novel, a psychological thriller called I'm Thinking of Ending Things, was published in 2016 and is currently being adapted into a movie for Netflix by director Charlie Kaufman. His latest novel, Foe, which came out on Aug. 7, is already in the initial stages of being made into a movie. It tells of a rural couple who lead a quiet existence until their life is thrown into disarray one night when a stranger shows up and delivers some potentially life-altering news. "It's hard to say a whole lot else without giving stuff away," Reid says. "There are elements of different types of books, but for me,

CHECK OUT ●

more than anything, it's a book about a marriage and a particular type of marriage that is rotting, basically." Beyond the plot itself, Reid says, Foe is "sort of hard to describe," noting that early readers have described it as everything from "suspense" to "philosophical." "And there are elements of science fiction because it takes place in the near future," he adds. Like I'm Thinking of Ending Things, the new book Foe contains some rather dark undertones. "I don't do that intentionally," Reid explains. "I don't think, 'I'm going to write about a difficult thing or something that's unsettling.' But I do have to write about something that feels personal and that I know is going to interest me for a long time." He remarks that it took nearly three years to write Foe - thus it was essential to choose a themes that felt true and timeless. "I think (this theme) for Foe is relationships: do we really ever know each other and how do we know each other and why do we decide to commit to another person in a marriage? There are also aspects of technology in the book, and the effect that technology can have on us." Reid says he is excited to see the film adaptations of his books come to life. "I've always loved movies," he says. "It was not in my mind when I was writing these books that anybody would be interested in them to contract the film." He started writing Foe a number of years ago, before I'm Thinking of Ending Things came out. Reid says he likes to surprise himself during the writing process to keep things interesting. "I have a basic idea in question

I know kind of how I think I want it to end, but I don't have a definitive ending when I start. Early on, I want to find out where the story's going to go and what's going to happen. That's the process that has worked for me so

far. It's in later rounds that I become much more particular and concerned with the details." He says it's a great feeling to be able to finish with a book and put it out there for people to read. "You kind of get some closure on this thing that you've been

thinking about for a long time. People get to react to it, and that's nice. "It's a different kind of book," Reid says of Foe. "Hopefully, people will feel like it's something to talk about with their friends."

Parachutes for the Planet is a youth-inspired collective international art project illustrating shared concern for climate change. A national display of parachutes will be held on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Monday, Oct. 15. A sister display of international parachutes will occur on Saturday, Oct. 13 in Washington D.C. Citizens' Climate Lobby Canada (CCL Canada), who is organizing the Ottawa display, created an educator's guide so that Canadian youth - or those of any age - can create a parachute for the national display. A guide in French is also available. The display on Parliament Hill will happen dur-

ing CCL Canada's national conference and lobbying days. The conference's theme is Building Bridges because climate change is a serious and non-partisan issue that will require policy persistence through multiple election cycles. The Parachutes for the Planet display will show parliamentarians that people across the country care deeply about solving the climate crisis. The Lanark County parachute will be on display at various venues until Oct. 12. Lanark County is known as the Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario. The maple syrup industry is dependent on a healthy environment and stable climate. The bridge depicted

Each one is a unique creation, expressing the makers' local concerns and hopes for the future. Creating the parachutes is an excellent opportunity

to engage students and their community with the often dark issue of climate change, using the healing medium of art. "I never cease to be amazed at the power of art to attract and engage a

broad, diverse audience," said Kimberly Benson, codirector of Parachutes for the Planet. "It allows people to open up, explore and experience." A group display is very powerful, transforming the parachutes into powerful messages of strength, hope and communal determination. "The exciting thing about this project is that it engages people locally in the creation of the parachute, but it continues to inspire when presented in national and international displays," said Laura Sacks, who is leading the team organizing the Ottawa display. "Art has a way of touching the heart, where scientific graphs cannot." If your group would like to make a parachute or invite the Lanark County parachute to your venue, please let us know by contacting Anita Payne at payanita@gmail.com or 613-267-0881.

OPINION

SEPTEMBER BROUGHT A RETURN TO SUNDAY SCHOOL SPECIAL SURPRISE CREATED WARM MEMORIES, COLUMNIST MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

As well as starting a whole new year back to the Northcote public school, September was a big month at the Lutheran Church too. There would have been no Sunday school over the summer months. Every parent of every child who was a member of the

church was expected to give regular instructions in the holy word instead. Mother did the best she could with our nightly prayers, but with the summer months the busiest on the farm in the entire year, there was little time to give us lessons from the Bible. That isn't to say we weren't constantly reminded of the Ten Commandments and all they meant. Often, during the summer, the congregation was more sparse than usual, but once we had turned the corner from August to September, the pews were full, and the few people who made up the choir were back in their places on straight-backed chairs at the front of the church. We were all back to Sunday

school in the little room at the back, shut off from the congregation by a thin door which did little to shut out the booming voice of the minister. Of course, that meant too, whoever was teaching Sunday school had to keep her or his voice low so as not to interfere with what was going on out front. I loved Sunday school almost as much as I loved going to the Northcote school during the week. Especially if the teacher that Sunday (we often had a different teacher every week or so) would read us a story from a book and not ask many questions! She would read from a little paper booklet of just a couple of pages, and there was always a coloured pic-

ture on the front referring to the story inside. We were allowed, afterwards, to take the paper home, which delighted me beyond words! Once my brothers were over the junior grades at the Northcote Side School, they were excused from Sunday school, and had to sit through the service with the congregation. Of course, this didn't please my brothers one bit. Emerson said it was all he could do to keep his eyes open and stop his head from falling down on his chest when the minister gave his sermon, which could go on for an hour or more, depending on how heated up he was on the evils of the day. Emerson said he would much rather be in the back

of the church in the Sunday school. But of course, his almost six-foot frame was beyond sitting in the little chairs we used, and so with Audrey, Everett and Earl, he had to sit with Mother and Father. That first day back at Sunday school, we children were in for a wonderful surprise. The teacher had to time her lesson perfectly, so that as soon as the last hymn was sung, she had to wind up in a hurry. That first day, as soon as the organist thundered out the first chord, our teacher reached behind her and took hold of a brown paper bag which looked like it had come from Briscoe's General Store, and she took out the tiniest little red Bibles I had ever seen. In a low whisper, so as not to be overheard over the final hymn, she said each of our names and she handed out to us our very own little Bible. In ink, inside, she had carefully printed our name, and we were told that she expected us to read from it every night before we went to bed. I still hadn't learned to

read well, and so that chore fell to my sister, Audrey. Every night, Audrey who was high on religion at that time in her life, dutifully read a couple pages from my little red Bible. And then I would tuck it under my pillow, confident it would see me through until morning. My brother Emerson, when he saw what I had been given and who loved a free handout, told Mother he wouldn't mind going to Sunday school the next week, and he was prepared to either stand through the whole service, or sit on the floor. Mother said he could forget it. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

CONSIDERING ADOPTING YOUR NEXT FELINE FRIEND FROM LAWS The Lanark Animal Welfare Society is featuring four friendly felines that are now up for adoption at the shelter. This week's pets:

Vigorous Please say hello to handsome Vigorous, who was brought into LAWS at the age of two weeks, orphaned and alone. A LAWS volunteer took him into foster and fed him until he was able to eat on his own. He earned is name because of his hearty appetite. Now, almost three months old, Vigorous is playful, enjoys playing with other cats, is inquisitive and purrs as vigorously as he eats! He is ready to find his forever home from his foster home in Perth. Should you be interested in meeting him then please leave us a Facebook message or call the shelter with your phone number and the foster mom will call you to set up a meet and greet.

Melita Melita is a very friendly three-yearold female cat who was found astray walking the streets. This attractive black

beauty is always ready for play time but prefers to have her paws on the ground. She likes to sit next to you for much appreciated affection. Melita is good with the other cats in her room and would welcome a loving home.

Meka and Maguire Please meet Meka and Maguire. We think that these four-month-old kittens are brother and sister as they arrived together after they were rescued from the streets in Smiths Falls. The staff at Pet Valu tells us that they are super friendly, very playful and really looking forward to find their forever home. We hope they can go to a home together as they really enjoy each other's company! Two kittens are better and easier than one anyway as they can entertain each other while you're away or at work. These two cuties are available at Pet Valu in Carleton Place. Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or lanarkanimals.ca. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.
