TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Is on street parking in Carleton Place neighbourhoods a threat to public safety? During the Feb. 19 committee of the whole (COW) meeting, council carried a motion directing staff to prepare a report including recommendations regarding year-round safety of on street parking. Coun. Linda Seccaspina brought the matter forward. The problem is more acute in subdivisions with narrower streets and shorter driveways, which tends to be in newer developments. Older subdivisions were often built with wider streets and driveways to better accommodate cars. "I have no doubt the results (of the report) will tell us there are road design issues and insufficient off street parking for homes," Seccaspina stated. "As a town, we can-

Seccaspina displayed a photo taken by fire chief/director of protective services Pascal Meunier. It was captured in the area of Park Avenue, before a recent snowstorm. According to Seccaspina, Meunier told her there is an issue for safety vehicles, "which is what I am worried about ... they cannot get through."
Fires can double in size every 30 to 60 seconds, and it matters greatly how quickly fire service responds. The Canadian Gazette reached out to Meunier for comment. "Thankfully, we have not seen this issue too often while responding to an emergency, but it happens while driving in town during nonemergency situations," he stated. "Our bylaw officer has been working extremely hard, patrolling the streets to ensure we do not get into
this problem, especially with all the snow we have had this winter." "Unfortunately, we are still ticketing vehicles parked too close to each other, which would stop us from getting through," the fire chief/director of protective services continued. In an emergency, it is possible firefighters would need to move parked vehicles in order to get

through tight spaces. "We make every effort to avoid causing damage," Meunier stressed. "However, in high priority emergency cases, firefighters may have no option but to push the truck through, risking damage to the truck and other vehicles." There is no history of a fire truck or vehicle being damaged in Carleton Place. "Although firefighters are entitled to move vehicles out of the way, we are more likely to find an alternative route, or blast the fire truck's horn or sound the sirens to get people to come out of their houses to move their vehicles," Meunier said. "This option may seem safer, but a longer route is likely to affect response times." A prolonged response time is extremely stressful
THE ISSUE: EMERGENCY SERVICE VEHICLES (FIRE TRUCKS, POLICE CARS AND AMBULANCES) REQUIRE STREETS TO ACCESS HOMES AND ACCIDENT SCENES IN A TIMELY MANNER LOCAL IMPACT: A REPORT BY CARLETON PLACE STAFF WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING YEAR-ROUND SAFETY OF ON STREET PARKING and frustrating for firefighters, especially when they are on their way to something serious. The Ocean Wave Fire Company is asking local residents whom park on the street, can fire trucks, police vehicles or ambulances get through?
"If you are not sure, try to find another parking spot," Meunier said. "When we do an amendment to the town's Official Plan, would some of these considerations by Coun. Seccaspina fall in here?" Mayor Doug Black questioned. Chief administrative officer Diane Smithson noted: "I do not think the Official Plan but perhaps the Development Permit Bylaw. It could also be considered as part of a review of the town's traffic and parking bylaw ... limiting parking to one side of the street." Smithson reminded council it did increase the bylaw department's staff by half a position in the municipality's 2019 budget, a $44,375 expense, "which will help in the review of some of our bylaws that are enforced on a regular basis." Coun. Toby Randell noted on street parking was not just a winter issue. "This is an issue in town," he said. "I use Napoleon Street in the dead of summer ... you literally zigzag down the road." Randell is not in favour of
over regulating residents, but "common sense sometimes is not so common ... people park across from each other." Too, he does not want to spend a lot of money on a survey ... "All we need to do is drive around town with our eyes open to see there is an issue." "We did put money in our 2019 budget to look at our bylaws," Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond said, and "the move covers what we are talking about here." Not only does the town need to look at its bylaws, but "we need to be more proactive in enforcing them," he added. Redmond lives on Allan Street. "With a car parked on the street, you could not get a bus through - or a fire truck," he stressed. Coun. Jeff Atkinson was glad to see Seccaspina's motion come forward, and he hinted an advisory committee to examine traffic might be something the town looks into going forward. The connection between on street parking and public safety was brought up dur-
ing the previous term of council. In January 2016, Gerald Hastie, a resident of Carleton Place for 40-plus years, claimed residual snow and vehicles parked in front of the condominiums at 45 Mill St. made the road too narrow for emergency vehicles. "Mill Street is a very unsafe place to be in the wintertime," he noted. "Someone is going to get hurt - or killed." Hastie wanted the town to prohibit vehicles from parking on Mill Street between Beckwith Street and the underpass. Council directed the fire chief/director of protective services at the time, Les Reynolds, to look into the matter. Two months later, during a report to council, Reynolds noted Hastie's heart was in the right place, and his concern over Mill Street was legitimate, but parking to one side of the street "leaves it as wide as a lot of streets in town." Hastie also attended council in May 2014, asking the town to consider designing Mill Street as a one-way street between Beckwith
and Princess streets. He claimed parking in front of the condominiums made it difficult for two-way traffic. Then mayor Wendy LeBlanc moved a motion to retain two-way traffic on Mill Street and implement new cautionary signage. The late Ed Sonnenburg, then deputy mayor, wanted more to be done, including removing some of the parking spots in front of 45 Mill St. "My personal belief, if we leave it with the signage, nothing else will happen for the foreseeable future if we do not push it," he said.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
Cars parked too close to each other on the street can be very problematic for emergency service vehicles. It is more acute in subdivisions with narrower streets and shorter driveways, which tends to be in newer developments. Carleton Place Coun. Linda Seccaspina feels the town cannot keep this state of affairs going for future construction, where developers favour on street parking.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS HESITANT TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO COMMUNITY OFFICIAL PLAN ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com After a controversial five-year update of the Mississippi Mills Community Official Plan last year, council is questioning some modifications recommended by Lanark County. Niki Dwyer, director of planning with the municipality, spoke to committee of the whole on March 5 about the 75 proposed modifications that came from the county. Mississippi Mills approved the COP amendment in June 2018, which was then forwarded to the county, who has approval authority. On Dec. 12, 2018, Lanark County released its list of modifications.
"The number sounds outrageous, but it is not," Dwyer noted, indicating many are administrative in nature, but "there are several topics that warrant discussion and direction from council before staff can provide a response to the county planner (Julie Stewart)." Upon recent news from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding changes to the Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), which is used to develop official plans an inform planning decisions, council was apprehensive about enacting any of the modifications. "From my perspective, the whole official plan for
Mississippi Mills is really a contentious issue as we all know," began Coun. Bev Holmes. "It's coming back for modifications but we're also hearing that there are going to be significant changes made by the provincial government ... once it's (PPS) revised, are we doing a lot of work now for nothing?" Lanark-FrontenacKingston MPP Randy Hillier is coming to a May council meeting, so Holmes suggested asking him about the PPS updates and getting some direction. In the meantime, she wondered if the municipality could ask the county to put the COP process on hold. Dwyer said the county would likely be willing to
do that, but there is a timeline of 210 days, which started in September 2018. "Within the next 18 months, I think you are going to see a brand new PPS," she remarked. "I don't know at this point and nothing's been confirmed from the ministry. We won't know for some time." " ... I want to caution that the Planning Act doesn't contemplate extensions. It's 210 (days) or bust," Dwyer added. Mayor Christa Lowry wondered what the default was if the municipality didn't make a decision. "Do we risk them (county) making the decision?" Dwyer indicated that's what could happen. "I think it's worth the risk," Holmes stressed. For the March 5 meeting, Dwyer focused on significant valley lands, significant wildlife habitat, aggregate resources and natural heritage systems as they have had significant debate by council and the public in the past. Where she said more discussion may be needed is
her proposed topics for March 19 - population projections and settlement strategy, future expansion areas, agricultural lands. She said there are some recommendations she finds troubling and staff are currently reviewing the modifications through negotiations with the county. "I will be frank with you, there are some options listed that the likelihood of success will be quite limited," Dwyer stated. "I don't want to give you false expectations that all the power is in your hands. Lanark County is the approval authority." "You have the right to appeal, but as a professional planner I will advise you whether there's a likelihood of success in those appeals," she added. In regards to significant valley lands, the county wanted Mississippi Mills to include a policy section for the lands. Dwyer didn't see a problem with including reference to Lanark County's Sustainable Communities Official Plan (SCOP) in the COP, but no mapping
would be updated "because we don't have any." "I recommend we do this. It shows good faith with the county. This is not the fight we want to die on," she said. Dwyer thought differently about the second recommendation to update the COP to recognize significant wildlife habitat. She said this would require an Environmental Impact Assessment "for every single development proposal outside the urban boundary." "It will result in significant time delays and costs for applications," she said, noting that someone wanting to construct a deck would trigger an ecological assessment. As this is not a requirement of any provincial policy, Dwyer said it would be highly impactful and create red tape. "I would kindly suggest to the county we would not be adopting this recommendation," she stated, pointing out that deer habitat and nesting policies are already reflect-

VINTAGE CLOTHING SALE RETURNS APRIL 26-28 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Attention vintage fashion lovers! The Vintage Clothing Sale is back at the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum for three amazing days, April 26-28. Shoppers will find a wide array of vintage garments along with accessories to match every taste. Presented by local clothing and textile collector Vicki Racey, the Vintage Clothing Sale is the place to pick up fantastic, one-of-a-kind finds, while helping to raise money for the local museum. This is the fundraiser's fifth year, and the event runs each day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $2 per person. "If you have been before,
you know you are in for a treat," museum manager Jennifer Irwin noted. She called it a "fun, funky shopping experience." Racey has been collecting vintage pieces for years. Her collection - everything from the 1920s through to the 1980s - is extensive. She acquires items from estate sales and more. The Vintage Clothing Sale offers pieces for men, women and children, along with hats, lingerie, jewelry and other accessories. "This year, Vicki is even bringing vintage linens and some fun household collectibles," Irwin noted. A percentage of the sale's proceeds will go to the museum, which is located at 267 Edmund St. The Carleton Place & Beckwith Historical Society
manages the institution, and its goal is simple: to conserve and share local history. The Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum opened its doors in 1985. At the time, it was known as the Victoria School Museum. The name was changed in 2011 to reflect the scope of the museum's collection and its audience. Fully accessible, the museum's Local History Gallery is complemented by the Special Exhibits Room (changing displays), and the Foss Room hosts a variety of special events year-round, including lectures, workshops and performances. For additional information about the sale or museum, call 613-253-7013, email cpbheritagemuseum@bellnet.ca or visit cpbheritagemuseum.com.

Lanark County, in partnership with Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC), is delivering the Business Retention & Expansion (BR+E) Project, which aims to support and strengthen local business across the county. Through the project, the volunteer and business communities are coming together to help Lanark County and local municipalities better understand business needs and priorities. "More than 80 trained volunteer visitors have stepped up to the plate to do the face-to-face, confidential surveys and we have over 100 businesses already agreeing to participate," stated Teri Devine, BR+E co-ordinator, Valley Heartland CFDC. "Businesses will be able to share information by completing the survey, have any issues or opportunities heard and will be contributing to the development of future projects, programs and priorities that support business across Lanark County," explained Stacie Lloyd, regional economic development officer, Valley Heartland CFDC. "Results of the survey will help Lanark County understand the needs of local businesses and help where possible, both now and into the future," added Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. The Lanark County Business Retention & Expansion (BR+E) Project is a broad sector survey representing the many sectors and geographies across the county. There are still spaces available for businesses in the construction, real estate, finance and insurance or agriculture sector, so if you would like to participate, contact Teri Devine, BR+E co-ordinator, at 613-2837002 ext. 111 or 613-207-5940 or by email at bre@valleycfdc.com.

Following an investigation by the Lanark County detachment of the OPP, a Tay Valley man is
ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com
facing multiple charges in a fatal collision that took place on Mississippi Lake in January. Kory Bell, 27, has been charged with one count of operation of a conveyance causing
death and one count of dangerous operation causing death, contrary to the Criminal Code. Back on Jan. 6, OPP responded to reports of a Volkswagen that went through the ice near Craig
Shore on Mississippi Lake in Beckwith Township. Two people were in the vehicle, one escaped and divers with the OPP's underwater search and recovery unit recovered the body of a 31-yearold male from Drummond/North Elmsley Township. A second incident on the lake at that time, involving a partially submerged ATV, was not connected to the fatal collision. Bell is set to appear before provincial court in Perth at a future date.

OPINION EDITORIAL
WHAT IS THE JOB OF A NEWSROOM ETHICS COMMITTEE? Here at Metroland Media, we value our reputation as being one of Canada's most trusted sources of news. As such, ensuring we are operating in the most ethical fashion possible is something our newsrooms take extremely seriously. In the Ottawa Valley, our Smiths Falls and Renfrew offices have their own ethics committee, which meets bimonthly to discuss any ethics-related matters that come up over the past couple of months. Many readers may not realize that reporters and editors are frequently called upon to make judgment calls on touchy matters. By working together and talking things through, we strive to always make the best choice possible in these situations. For example, how long do you wait for a response after reaching out to someone for comment on a story? Particularly if said person is portrayed in an unflattering light, reporters should attempt to reach them in more than one way - e.g. by both phone and email. If 24 hours go by and you haven't heard back, should you go ahead and publish, or give them another few hours? Ethics committees can establish general guidelines for these and other matters, and committee members are on hand in the newsroom to talk things through with reporters and assist them in coming up with the best course of action in each situation. Unpublish requests also fall under the umbrella of the ethics committee. For example, what happens if we report on someone being convicted of a crime, then after they've served their time they ask for the old story to be taken off our website, as it continues to pop up whenever someone Googles their name. In the vast majority of cases, the answer will be no, we will not take the story down. The reason is because it's still true that they were arrested and convicted of that crime. It would be irresponsible to simply erase what happened from the record. (This isn't 1984.) However, we will write an additional story if an individual's charges are dropped or they are found not guilty. It becomes more complicated if a person has been pardoned of a crime. At that point, the committee needs to factor in whether it's ethical to keep the pardoned crime on permanent record if the justice system has absolved the individual. This is a question that will soon be coming up frequently with people being pardoned of possession of marijuana crimes following legalization; most news organizations (including ours) will be establishing an official policy for these cases.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS CAO INTERVIEWS BEGIN THIS MONTH ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com With an application deadline of March 8, Mississippi Mills will kick off the interview process for a new chief administrative officer (CAO) later in the month. Mayor Christa Lowry provided an update on the process in her mayor's report during the March 5 council meeting. Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves is aiding the municipality in the process and seeks two councillors on the hiring panel, which will also include Lowry, Greaves and a representative from the county's human resources department. "There are four steps with this
hiring process and the hiring committee is involved in the first two steps," Lowry explained. The process begins with a 1520-minute PowerPoint presentation by shortlisted candidates. Those are expected to take place March 21. The second step involves a Q&A interview for the top two to four applicants, with the hiring panel on March 27. Lowry said the panel has been asked to keep the week open to be flexible with applicants. Councillors Denzil Ferguson and Bev Holmes both volunteered to sit on the panel, but Holmes was concerned she may know one of the potential applicants.
"I'd like to check with our integrity commissioner to see if it's something I can do," she said. "We can confirm who is shortlisted after (March) 13th," noted Lowry. The third round will see the top one or two candidates have lunch with Lowry and senior Mississippi Mills staff and the final piece of the process involves finalist presentations to all of council during a closed session. "I believe the intent is that (first round) presentation is what will come back to council in the final round," Lowry stated. According to the job posting, the CAO position reports to council and provides leadership and
direction to seven senior level staff and 125 employees in the municipality. "You will provide effective advice and support to council on corporate activities and the business affairs of the municipality, in compliance with bylaws, policies and statutory requirements. You lead others with a collaborative and open style that reflects upon your ability to both engage and work successfully with staff, council and the community." The county's help on the matter is expected to cost the municipality $5,000. Clerk Shawna Stone has been serving as acting CAO for the municipality since last fall.

University hearing study seeks participants.

COUNCIL
Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing
loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

COUNCIL CONCERNED OVER POSSIBLE CHANGES TO PPS Continued from page 3
ed in the adopted COP. Coun. Denzil Ferguson agreed with Dwyer's assessment. "When you get into such things as the environment, you know it costs a lot of dollars and time. I certainly would stand up for it if it goes beyond the county," he commented. "The only place this study (EA) would not be required is if you were developing in Almonte ward or the village of Pakenham," Dwyer added. In its modifications, the Ministry of Northern Affairs and Mines and the county, is also asking Mississippi Mills to update the COP to include primary and secondary areas of aggregate and bedrock resources. Dwyer stated there aren't any primary or secondary aggregate resources in the municipality, but there are large de-
posits of bedrock along its eastern half. "(Bedrock) is found in half of the municipality. It's very dense and rampant anywhere there is not agricultural land," she explained. The impact of outlining bedrock resources in the COP would require studies to close and convert a site. "No one else in the county has bedrock mapping, including the county itself." She recommended going ahead with the aggregate mapping, but not for bedrock. "It's not something we want to do. Any time a development application would come up with bedrock, it would be subject to a bedrock evaluation," Dwyer said. The final modification discussed in the meeting was natural heritage systems, which concerned many residents during the COP process. Dwyer said the route chosen was to
identify NHS' through policy only, but it "did not meet the requirement of the PPS." Council was being asked to adopt the scenario one NHS including wildlife and fish habitats, watercourses, wetlands, woodlands, ecological linkages and areas of natural and significant interest. Dwyer recommended staying with the option council adopted "showing features and their adjacent lands which create and act as linkages." She said she will consult with Stewart on the timeline for response but recommended council approve the lower impact modifications "to show we are moving forward in some regard and need clarification on others." Dwyer's report was received as information and the matter will be discussed again at the March 19 council meeting.

Almonte District High School (ADHS) won the OFSAA Boys' A Basketball Championship in London, Ont. on Wednesday, March 6 defeating Ottawa's Notre Dame High School 68-65 to take the title. It is the first OFSAA gold for the ADHS team in 32 years. "Last night was very emotional," said coach Dan Hickey of the win. "It's all still sinking in. It was a pretty amazing win considering we were down by 12 with just three minutes to go but the boys nev-
er gave up. They showed a lot of character - but that's our team this year. We never give up." The final was the first game in the tournament in which ADHS found themselves consistently trailing their opponent. A decision to change tactics and move to man-to-man defence resulted in a turnover in the final minutes that ignited the ADHS offence. That coupled with deep strength on the bench and a 31-point game by forward Micah Della Foresta helped seal the
victory. Hickey said the win was particularly sweet because his brother and cocoach Kevin was on the last winning team, as were the fathers of current ADHS players Jonah Lee and Krischan Welk. The coach thanked the ADHS administration for giving the team the flexibility to attend several tournaments this school year, which prepared them for the big win.

Founding partners Ted Bergeron and Chris Clifford are both accomplished athletes. Bergeron played three seasons for the Queen's Golden Gaels football team, and Clifford played goalie for the Kingston Canadians, followed by a stint in the NHL after being drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks. Bergeron Clifford associates also have experience playing Division 1 sports: Gavin Cosgrove (Manhattan College, track and

Bergeron Clifford is based in Kingston but is present throughout the region, with offices in Whitby, Perth and Ottawa. "The idea behind entering a team in the tournament is to further bond with lawyers in the east region. Building regional ties honours the history of small, tightly woven communities in eastern Ontario. Soccer, too, has a universal appeal, and we look forward to spending time with our colleagues from across the globe," says team captain WhiteKnight. WhiteKnight and Cosgrove and their colleagues are certain to face stiff competition at the tournament, given that the bulk of the teams will be from soccer-rich countries. Regardless, the team is passionate about soccer and expects to be competitive. "We're not travelling all the way to Argentina to spectate. Our goal as a team is to end up on the podium again," WhiteKnight says.

The tournament is restricted to lawyers, paralegals and judges, and it is a truly international affair, with the 2018 edition hosting more than 100 teams from 40 countries participating over 10 days. This will be the team's fifth time participating in one of the tournaments. More tournament information can be found at america.mundiavocat.com/en.

Beers and bikes were on tap at Stalwart Brewing in Carleton Place on March 9. The craft brewery, located at 10 High St., played host to roller racing, which was a fundraiser for the West of Quebec Wheeler's Echelon Project. The initiative aids up-and-coming racers with competitions and training. "Stalwart Brewing was proud to host a fundraising roller race for a second year," co-owner Adam Newlands told the Canadian Gazette. He added: "The first year we raised funds for John Stuart from Carleton Place. He just won the Ontario Juniors in Milton, Ontario. This year we raised funds for area cyclist Jessica Atkins. She also competes provincially and nationally." Neal Crawford spearheaded Saturday's event. Newlands called him "a real hub of the Carleton Place cycling community."
With observers cheering loudly, the roller racing action was tense, with a giant dial showing the progress of participants, which encompassed both men and women. Carleton Place Coun. Jeff Atkinson stopped by to pick up some beer, deciding to stay and watch the festivities. "I was a delighted observer," he said. "It was lots of fun ... the crowd was into it." He added: "It looks like another Carleton Place annual event has been born. Who knew people in jeans and sweaters could peddle as fast as some of them did." Newlands, Nathan Corey, Ed McKinley and Phil Kelsley launched Stalwart Brewing, which opened in 2015. The hours of operation in Carleton Place are as follows: Tuesday and Wednesday from 12 to 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12 to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m. Moreover, Stalwart Brewing taps can be found in many bars and restaurants, from Ottawa to Kingston.
NEW MINISTER FOR CARLETON PLACE CHURCH TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com For worshippers at a Carleton Place church without a minister since last summer, their prayers have been answered. Rev. David Sherwin is the new minister at ZionMemorial United Church. In the ministry for 29 years, he took his place behind the pulpit on Jan. 1. "I took over for Rev. Judith Evenden," Sherwin told the Canadian Gazette. "She was on a three-year appointment, which ended in June 2018." "Everyone knew Judith's position was going to come to an end, requiring the church to search for a new minister," he continued." Sherwin interviewed for the opening at Zion-Memorial United Church last November. For the previous four years he worked for the United Church of Canada Ottawa Presbytery, which is a regional body of the church. "The United Church of Canada went through a restructuring and my position ended," Sherwin explained. "I needed to find work."

Guides, Alcoholics Anonymous/Al-Anon and Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi. Sherwin noted the church's successful Hungry Lunch Café offers a hot, nutritious meal every Tuesday free of charge. The program has three teams of volunteers, and each team has about eight members. The groups rotate Tuesdays. The Hungry Lunch Café has been in existence for approximately 12 years. Sherwin's work in Carleton Place is plentiful: baptisms, marriages and funerals, as well as outreach services at homes for seniors in the community. "I am not a therapist, but I offer counselling to people who need an ear, or individuals who have questions about spirituality," he said.
How it began Sherwin was born in Belleville and grew up in Picton. He is the son of a United Church minister. "Both my parents are deceased, and I have two younger siblings," he noted.
Following high school, Sherwin attended the University of Toronto, majoring in psychology and minoring in English literature and history. "I graduated in 1982," he said, and "I did not know what I wanted to do." Sherwin ended up working as a counsellor in a group home for people with mental disabilities. However, after two years, he decided it was time to travel. "I was single and in my 20s ... I had an opportunity to go and plants trees in Alberta and British Columbia," Sherwin said. "It was seasonal work (spring and summer), and in the fall I travelled to Australia and New Zealand." He returned to Canada in spring 1985, going back out west to plant trees. After a short visit with family in Ontario, Sherwin went to Vancouver, staying with a friend and working construction. "It was fall 1985 ... I got the call," he said.

OPINION
STATUE REMINDER OF THE EXPLOITS OF SGT. YORK JEFF MAGUIRE REFLECTS ON THE FAMOUS U.S. SOLDIER JEFF MAGUIRE Column
Near the bottom of a staircase on Capitol Hill in Nashville stands a statue of a war-time hero, a native of the great state of Tennessee. To be honest Kathleen and I have been up and down that steep set of steps a number of times over the years. But it wasn't until our most recent visit, with the trees and shrubbery devoid of foliage in the midst of winter, that we took full notice of the statue. The monument depicts Alvin C. York, better known as "Sgt. York," one
of the most decorated United States Army soldiers of the First World War. I realize that having a statue raised in your honour on the grounds of the State Capitol in your home state is impressive. However the statue wasn't unveiled until 1968, four years after Sgt. York's death at age 76. I'm a war history buff so I' familiar with York's story. For those who aren't - and I suspect there are many - let me enlighten you! York, along with American flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker (he downed 26 enemy aircraft), are arguably the most famous of the 121 men awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions in the Great War. The medal is the most prestigious personal military decoration awarded in the U.S. for acts of valour. A native of tiny Pall Mall in Fentress County, Tennessee York earned his honour for actions in
October 1918. The U.S. entered the war in April 1917 but it wasn't until May of 1918 that York arrived in France to fight on the Western Front. He grew up in rural Tennessee, the third of 11 children in a family that subsisted on farming and hunting. At a young age York was already an expert marksman. On Oct. 8, 1918 the then Corporal York was part of the Meuse-Argonne offensive which would prove to be the final Allied push against German forces in the region. York's Battalion was given the task of seizing enemy positions across a valley. After capturing some prisoners a German machine gun cut them to ribbons as they tried to sneak behind the lines, killing six and wounding three of the 17 U.S. soldiers involved. York was the most senior person left and his remaining group of eight were up against a
well defended position and heavily outnumbered. Accounts of the fighting say the sharp shooting York killed 20 Germans himself. His tiny detachment captured a total of 132 enemy soldiers. York was immediately promoted to sergeant and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. A later investigation led senior officers to recommend York for the Medal of Honor which he received in 1919. The Tennessean returned home, planning to quietly return to his previous life on the family farm.
But a subsequent magazine article in the highly popular Saturday Evening Post sparked even more publicity and many accolades. In 1941 a Hollywood film was made about his life. He was also wooed by Broadway producers and advertisers who were keen to capitalize on his new-found fame. Books were written about his feat followed by his own autobiography. York became a larger than life figure and was cited as "the greatest American soldier of the war" drawing comparisons to such icons as Abraham Lincoln and
Daniel Boone. York and his wife had eight children. However the war hero was dogged by poor health throughout his life, finally succumbing to a cerebral hemorrhage on Sept. 2, 1964. He is buried in his native Pall Mall, Tennessee. Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont. He has been writing for community and daily newspapers in Ontario since 1971. He can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

ROCKING TIME HAD AT PARKINSON'S SUPERSPIEL TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The second annual Parkinson's Superspiel, organized by Karen-Amy Linton, was held at the Carleton Place Curling Club on March 9, featuring 16 teams and raising funds for Parkinson Canada. Presently, there are 100,000-
plus people in Canada with Parkinson's disease, and the number is expected to double by 2031. There is no cure for the disease, and there are no medications to slow its progression. Karen-Amy's father, Dan Linton, has Parkinson's. The family resides in Montague. Parkinson's is a complex disease; however, simply explained,
movement is controlled by dopamine, a chemical carrying signals between the nerves in the brain. When cells producing dopamine die, the symptoms of Parkinson's appear. These symptoms can include muscle rigidity and tremors, along with changes in speech and gait. After diagnosis, treatments can help relieve symptoms.
"The disease continues to progress, but so does research," Dan told the Canadian Gazette. He noted a diagnosis of Parkinson's takes time, "typically, 10 years for people under age 50." Eighty-five per cent of people diagnosed with Parkinson's are over the age of 65. Dan is extremely proud of his daughter. The inaugural Parkinson's Superspiel saw 12 teams participate, with $1,500 raised for Parkinson Canada. "This is a great family event,
with people of all ages and skill levels participating," he said. "The curling community is so supportive." Members of the Linton family have curled at the Carleton Place club on Patterson Crescent for years. Other festivities during Saturday's Parkinson's Superspiel included a silent auction, raffle and spaghetti supper. For more on the Parkinson's Superspiel, visit www.pdsuperspiel.ca.

LANARK COMMUNITY PROGRAMS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RETIRES AFTER 40 YEARS TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com After an illustrious 40-year career, one of the greats, Donna Davidson, has said goodbye, retiring as the executive director of Lanark Community Programs (LCP), a part of Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services. Clients, co-workers, friends and others gathered in the ballroom of The Grand Hotel in Carleton Place on Nov. 28 to help Davidson commemorate the occasion. LCP began in 1979, with Davidson as its executive director. The organization provides support services to adults, children and families, especially those made more vulnerable by developmental, physical or economic limitations. LCP's main office is situated on Bennett Street in Carleton Place. At Davidson's retirement tea, attendees were asked to describe her using one word. Just a few of the adjectives used: visionary, passionate, kind, committed, inspiring and creative. "She is an amazing woman, and she is loved and respected by so many individuals within Lanark County," Jade Ferguson noted. Ferguson is the administrative assistant of LCP's Family Relief Program.
Even though Diane Rimmer was unable to attend Davidson's retirement tea, she sent a letter, which was read aloud. Over the years, Rimmer has called Davidson her employer, mentor and friend. The duo has also served on many boards together. "Donna has a relentless commitment to improve the lives of people around her," Rimmer wrote. "She is a visionary, with an uncanny ability to identify what needed to be done and how to go about doing it." She continued: "Donna understood you needed to go out on a limb because you had an obligation to vulnerable people. She is fearless, strategic and pragmatic, and a funding titan." Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services past board chair Stephen Bird was "always impressed how interested and concerned Donna was in the broader community." "She was so proud of Lanark Community Programs and its staff," Bird stressed, and "if you ever read one of Donna's 14-page reports, you knew just how much." Owing to Davidson, he recounted the headquarters of LCP being a safe and supportive environment, a welcoming and nurturing place. Lionel Pauze, a longtime Pat-
terson Lake resident, is the founder of Friends in Sportfishing, an organization providing free fishing experiences to people with special needs. He mortgaged his home to purchase a fleet of five 28-foot pontoon boats, which were modified to make them accessible. When Pauze was asked what inspired him ... his response, "I loved seeing the kids enjoying themselves, and Donna Davidson told me to not stop doing what I am doing." Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services program supervisor Darrell Dean shared a couple of quick stories about Davidson, "who I became aware of back in the fall of 2012." With one-time funding up for grabs, Davidson wanted to purchase a pizza oven for LCP. "My first reaction ... it was rather different; however, when I read through her application it made complete sense," Dean stated. "It was easy for an abled bodied person to go out and enjoy some pizza," he explained. "Donna wanted to bring the pizza experience to those who were vulnerable." "You did not fund the oven, Darrell," Davidson noted with a laugh. Dean mentioned a book written in 2003 by Seth Godin, called Purple Cow.
Tara Gesner/Metroland In November 2018, clients, co-workers and others gathered at The Grand Hotel in Carleton Place to help Donna Davidson, wearing one of her fabulous hats, celebrate retirement after 40 years at Lanark Community Programs. "Basically, you really need to be a purple cow - stick out - among a whole bunch of cows," Dean noted. He recalled the first time he met Davidson, and it was in Perth at a Lanark County planning gathering. "Before the meeting I was 'warned' about Donna," Dean said with a smile. "I was told not to be surprised if she was wearing some big funky hat." "She was wearing a big funky hat when I walked into the room," he continued. "I thought there is your purple cow ... she is different, extremely intelligent, funny and passionate." Regarding Davidson, Dean added: "She has taught me it is OK to

COMMUNITY
think outside the box, and it is OK to not play by the rules - at times. Being a purple cow is about living life with genuine enthusiasm and passion, supporting those who are less fortunate. Thank you, Donna, for teaching us it is OK to be a purple cow." Davidson will never get bored in her retirement. She operates Glengyle Garlic, located on the banks of the Mississippi River in Lanark County, with her husband, Cliff Neudorf. She also sits on various boards. Too, Davidson will be cheering for her beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders football team. "May God continue to richly bless you in retirement," Dean said.

OPINION
FLOUR BAGS WERE INDISPENSABLE FOR FAMILY DURING DEPRESSION MOTHER USED THEM FOR BLOUSES, UNDERWEAR AND MORE, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
How often Mother said, "I don't know what we would do without flour bags." When she made that statement, I would look around me, and I would think to myself, 'yes, indeed, where would we be without flour bags'. Certainly, I wasn't the
only one at the Northcote School to wear flour bag underwear, but that didn't mean I liked the bloomers any better. I much preferred it when Mother used the bags for many other purposes in our house on the farm. I didn't know that bed sheets came in one piece until the first time I slept overnight at my little friend Joyce Francis' house. Ours had a seam up the middle and one across from side to side. It took four bags to make one sheet. The long white pinnies came right out of the flour mill in Renfrew. These aprons often still showed the markings "Pride of the Valley" because Mother wasn't too fussy about bleaching out the printing, as she would be if the bags
were being used for something like new kitchen curtains. Of course, there would be rows of rickrack braid around the edges and on the tie-backs to brighten them up, and it wasn't unusual for Mother to make new curtains every spring without laying out a penny. There was always a good many pieces of the braid loose in the bottom drawer of the old Singer sewing machine to fuss them up. Stacked in the back-tothe-wall cupboard, there was a pile of tea towels. Once a flour bag was opened up flat and cut in half, the two pieces were the perfect size for a tea towel. On the very bottom of the pile there would be three or four that were only taken out if we had company. They had been bleach-
ed within an inch of their lives, hemmed all around, and on each end, there would be embroidery work done by my sister Audrey, who I thought was very clever indeed. Her favourite design was a teacup and saucer, which I thought was pretty smart figuring since that was what the tea towel would be drying. It was my poor sister Audrey who was given the task of trying to teach me how to embroider. She started me on French knots which I found impossible! But I was overjoyed when I finally mastered them and could move on to other designs on the flour bag tea towels. When Mother would come home with another pile of flour bags, I knew every last one of them would

have a purpose. The ones she preferred only had printing on the front, and so the bleaching was much easier to handle. But these were few and far between. Getting rid of the printing, which was almost always deep blue and bright red, was a chore Mother hated. After many washings, they were soaked in Javel water, and they reeked to high heaven. Then the bags had to be washed again and again to rid them of the smell. In the summertime when the days were hot and sunny, Mother spread the bags out on the grass, hoping the bright sun would help get rid of the printing. It was Aunt Lizzie, my rich aunt from Regina, who told Mother to use lemon juice. Well, that was all right for Aunt Lizzie who Father said could buy out the bank in Renfrew, but for us, lemons were a luxury used only for pies or tarts, and not to be wasted trying to bleach out flour bags. The best bags often were turned into blouses for Audrey and me, and small
half-aprons trimmed with ruffled print. They became small tablecloths and tops for cushions for the old couch in the kitchen. And when Mother said she didn't know what we would do without them, all I had to do was look around our old log house at Northcote, and say to myself, "Yes, indeed. What would we ever do without flour bags." Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

AGH VOLUNTEER RECEIVES LEADERSHIP AWARD JOHN CODERRE HONOURED BY ARTHRITIS ALLIANCE OF CANADA Every Tuesday, you can find John Coderre in the physiotherapy department at Almonte General Hospital, helping patients and staff - as a volunteer, Coderre changes linens, cleans equipment, does some filing and helps out whenever he can. "It's a busy job and it's a meaningful job," he said. "And they are great people." The physio team agrees. "It is such an honour to have John volunteering in our department. His positive support and dedication enrich our environment," noted director Patti Morton. Recently, others recognized Coderre's commitment as well: he received the Qualman-Davies Lead-
ership Award from the Arthritis Alliance of Canada. The award recognizes individuals whose advocacy efforts support Canadians living with arthritis. Coderre has been a tireless spokesperson and advocate for those living with arthritis; for nearly 18 years, he was an active member of the Patient Partners in Arthritis, demonstrating muscular-skeletal exam techniques to hundreds of medical and health care students. He has also been a member of numerous committees and councils, participating in grant review panels, serving as a consumer adviser, co-authoring documents and supporting research at Western University. "It has been great fun. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting these bright young doctors and researchers," Coderre recalled. "Ultimately, I would love to see a world free of arthritis." Since osteoarthritis has
taken away his ability to participate in some sports, Coderre has taken up lowerimpact ones such as swimming and cycling. He has been a member of the organizing committees for the Ontario provincial summer and winter senior games even winning silver and gold medals at the games. Coderre and his wife Pat moved from London to Almonte about four years ago. His family has lived in Almonte for four generations. "All of John's work helps to ensure that the voice of Canadians living with arthritis is heard," summed up Mary Wilson Trider, president and chief administrative officer of Almonte General Hospital. "We are so pleased to have him as part of the Almonte General Hospital team. Congratulations, John!" Submitted by Jane Adams, communications lead, Almonte General Hospital

STANLEY KEITH ALEXANDER Veteran WW II 100 years old (Well not really, 97.5 to be exact, but he’d appreciate being rounded up) It’s with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loving father and grandfather on March 4th, 2019, peacefully & surrounded by love. Affectionately known by many as Grandpa. Predeceased by his sweetheart and love-of-his-life, Madeline (nee Murray). They are doing the box-step together now in the clouds, covering the floor and never passing the same spot twice. Also predeceased by his brother William & sister Isabel Drynan. Loving father of Glenn (Janet), Greg (Judy) & Lisa (Dan). Cherished Grandpa to Kristi (Mark) and Ami (Brandon). Keith was a family man who cherished his time with his children and grandchildren. He was a fixture on his front porch, waving and always ready for a visitor. Often described as a gentleman, he loved to chat and tease. He was well known and loved in Almonte and the Ottawa Valley. Keith grew up in the village of Clayton and it always remained close to his heart. He served in the Canadian Armed Forces during the Second World War, stationed at the base in Jamaica. Most of his life he made a living driving trucks: lumber, bread and ice cream. In his retirement years his dream of opening up Grandpa’s Chips became a reality. He had his secret method for making fries and was told he made the best around. Never a man to be still, he also dabbled in woodworking and that too became a side business. Perhaps all this work was key to his longevity. He will be missed by many. Special thanks to the staff of Orchard View for their loving care. Private family service will be held in the C. R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME CHAPEL 127 Church Street, Almonte, Ont. (613)256-3313 For those who may choose to honour Keith with a memorial donation please consider the charity of your choice.

Werner Henry Wegner
6 April 1929 20 February 2019 Werner Henry Wegner passed away peacefully on 20 February 2019 in the Carleton Place Hospital with his family beside him. He leaves his wife Ingeborg of 64 years, and children Isabell (Jorg), Michael (Monique), Christina (David) and Louisa (Larry), and a host of beloved grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He had a long and enriched life, beginning with the challenges of being a boy in World War 2 Germany, and then as a youth in the post-war German environment. Early in life he gained an enduring passion and love for horses, and readily learned the skills of equestrian horsemanship. Renowned across Europe and in Canada as an accomplished equestrian, he excelled as a rider, coach and judge. He tutored many young people in Germany and Canada in riding skills, passing on his love of horses, his equestrian knowledge, and his life values and principles. Werner was a Renaissance Man driven by an unrelenting curiosity and zest for life and adventure. He was an author, an expert hobby historian, a philanthropist, a connoisseur of every form of military music, a hobby cabinetmaker and a world traveller. His indomitable spirit was enhanced by a keen intellect, creativity, and confidence, capped with a sharp wit and a love of laughter. Werner cherished his wife and family and from them he derived the necessary strength and love to sustain him throughout his chosen life journey. Our great thanks to our family physician Dr. William Potvin, his Case Manager Melanie Murray, and the caring and compassionate nurses and staff of the Carleton Place Oasis Manor and the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. A Celebration of Life will take place at a future date. www.barkerfh.com

TWO CARLETON PLACE GROUPS CONTRIBUTE OVER $15,000 TO HEART INSTITUTE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com When words fail music speaks. The 2019 Ron & Jeff McMunn Heart Jam on Feb. 3 in Carleton Place raised $8,200 for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Held at the Neelin Street Community Centre, the event pays tribute to the late father and son. Ron, nicknamed The Silver Fox, was well known in the area for his music, and he was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (OVCMHF) in 1986. Ron passed away in July 2007 from pancreatic cancer. Jeff died from a heart
condition in December 2016. He and his brother, Jamie McMunn, played shows and special productions throughout the area for more than 25 years. "The organizing committee was happy with the amount we raised this year," member Bob White told the Canadian Gazette. The other organizers: Jerry Flynn, Charlie Kitts (a 2010 OVCMHF inductee), Lee Hodgkinson and Judi Moffatt-Hill. The University of Ottawa Heart Institute combines the greatest patient care, research and education all in the same building. A number of Carleton Place residents have benefitted from the world-class
health centre. February is Heart Month, with dozens of area events raising funds for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. On Feb. 28, the health centre hosted an appreciation reception at Bell Media headquarters in Ottawa, acknowledging the efforts of community groups and corporate citizens. White, Flynn and Kitts attended, presenting the proceeds from this year's concert. "It was a great evening, and it was nice to have Charlie with us," White said. Also contributing to the impressive Heart Month total was Roger and Kathy Holmes of Carleton Refrig-
eration, Heating and Air Conditioning Ltd. As part of their support of the heart institute, the couple donated $7,500. This year's Ron & Jeff McMunn Heart Jam offered a great lineup of classic country performers. Festivities also included a 50/50 draw, which was run by the Carleton Place & District Civitan Club. "The draw raised $600, and the club donated another $600, the proceeds from its January bingo, to our event," White explained. "It was a boost for us." He added: "The $1,200 was in memory of Bob Bennett, a member of the Civitan club. He passed away at the end of January."

SHERWIN TOOK OVER THE PULPIT JAN. 1. Continued from page 15
school to become a minister." Sherwin enrolled in the three-year Master of Divinity program at Emmanuel College - University of Toronto. "I did it in four years because I got married," he noted. "I took a year away from my studies to go to London while Marilou finished her third year at Western University."
Sherwin began his career as a minister in Creemore, Ont. It was July 1990. However, after eight successful years, he needed to seek new challenges. Beginning in 1998, Sherwin would spend the next decade at Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. "I worked at Kitchissippi United Church in Ottawa, an amalgamation of three congregations, for two and a half years," Sherwin advised. "This was al-
ways going to be a short appointment ... my purpose was to help them get through amalgamation." In 2011, after 20 years in the ministry, Sherwin felt a call to do something different. With some financial support from the United Church of Canada, as well as financial and moral support from colleagues at the Ottawa Presbytery, he began a new ministry - Faith and Arts Ottawa. "The premise: help peo-
ple engage in spiritual growth through creative arts," Sherwin explained. "I was the director (half time) for three years, and I worked half time at Centretown United Church." "At the end of 2014, it was clear Faith and Arts Ottawa could be run inexpensively, but my half-time salary was too much," he continued. "I needed to find a new job." Sherwin held a position of leadership and administration at the Ottawa Presbytery for the next four years. It was a very busy and diverse job.
Sherwin turns 60 in 2019. When he is not behind the pulpit in Carleton Place, he and his wife enjoy travelling, camping, hiking, bicycling and spending time with family. "I am a reader," he revealed. "Biographies and novels." Moreover, Sherwin is the minister with an earring. "I have had an earring for years, since I first went out west to plant trees," he explained. "It is a part of me ... I cannot imagine not having it." Spring 2020 marks 30
years as a minister for Sherwin. Although he is eligible to retire at 65, his job at Zion-Memorial United Church is open-ended, "as long as this ministry works for me and the congregation." Services are held at Zion-Memorial United Church, 37 Franklin St., every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. The church office is open Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information about Zion-Memorial United Church, visit www.zionmemorial.ca.
