SENIORS' CENTRE TO OPEN IN CARLETON PLACE THIS FALL FORMER TRAIN STATION ON COLEMAN STREET IS THE LOCATION TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A new seniors' centre is coming to Carleton Place, located in the former Canadian Pacific Railway station on Coleman Street.

ning for the Carleton Place Seniors' Centre as outlined in a March 12 report by chief administrative officer (CAO) Diane Smithson. There is a 12-month trial period, with a status report coming to council before the end of the first year. "Just to make sure this is something we want to continue going forward," Smithson stated. "We can also monitor the value of the property," Coun. Andrew Tennant added. The report would include usage statistics, membership numbers, etc. The Carleton Place Seniors' Centre will provide increased social and recreational services for older adults and seniors in the community ... a place to learn new skills as well as

MISSISSIPPI MILLS DEPUTY MAYOR CANDIDATES PUT IN THE HOT SEAT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Almonte Old Town Hall was filled March 25 as Mississippi Mills council kicked off the first phase of the process to fill the vacant deputy mayor position. After the application process closed March 15, six candidates stood before council - former councillors Paul Watters and Jane Torrance, David Hinks and Steve Maynard, who all ran for the deputy mayor position and were defeated by the late John Levi last October; as well as Philip Wood and Rickey Minnille, also past councillors. Each candidate was given 15 minutes to answer

five questions, selected by council March 5 and asked by acting chief administrative officer Shawna Stone. The five questions were: 1. Please address why you would like to be a member of council and elaborate on your long and short-term visions for the Municipality of Mississippi Mills? 2. What do you see as the immediate challenges facing the municipality and Lanark County and what are your suggestions as to how to address them? 3. One of the roles of council is to maintain the financial integrity of the municipality. How does your experience lend itself to fulfilling this responsibility?

4. Council may make decisions that not all members of the public agree with. Outline how you would address an unhappy citizen and explain how your experiences have equipped you to deal with these types of situations. Please include your thoughts on social media. 5. The position of deputy mayor acts as the mayor in his/her absence. Can you highlight what qualities, attributes and experience you have that demonstrate consensus building and leadership? Names were drawn out of a hat with Torrance selected first. The 11-year council veteran said she wants to be deputy mayor because it's a position she

ran for last October. "I see it as the best position on council. I love the dual aspect of the role," she commented. "You're a councillor-at-large, but also part of a leadership team." Her vision for Mississippi Mills is working toward a balanced, respectful and forward-thinking community "that honours the past and plans for the future." Longer term, she wants to focus on more proactive policy planning and help bridge the divide in the community, while addressing improvements needed for Lanark Lodge and social services in the county. She also suggested a social media policy for all staff, council and members of committees.

"I think I am the best candidate as well as the public's choice for this position," Torrance concluded. Minnille, a former three-term councillor, was up next. His goal is to work collectively with council and the community and wants to see the Community Official Plan put back on the table and done right. Fiscal responsibility is the number one challenge he sees facing the municipality. "I'm a self-employed contractor and business owner and my livelihood as always depended on budgeting and reliability," he stated. He indicated he would listen to the public's concerns and explain to them how council arrived at a decision and while admitting he's not a big fan of social media, he does feel there's a place for it. "I always work cohesively with people and I always try to go above and beyond," he said. " ... I'm a blue collared guy who likes

to keep thinks simple and get things done." Watters, who made his career in telecommunications and spent eight years on Mississippi Mills council, said growing and strengthening the community is a short-term vision of his and looking at the expansion of the business park and high-speed internet are long-term priorities. Financial sustainability is a big challenge to municipalities, said Watters. " ... The money has to be managed and priorities have to be followed." He said better communication and more information needs to be provided to the public so they fully understand the implications of decisions. "I do my homework, I talk to the citizens and then I make my decision," he stated. Almonte native Maynard, who recently estabSee SIX, page 12

LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES SHARE $7.7 MILLION CASH INFUSION FROM PROVINCE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com More than $7.7 million in funding is coming to the riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston as a one-time investment by the province to address service delivery improvements and efficiency. The funding was announced by Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark, on March 25. "Taxpayers need their local governments to deliver modern, efficient services that show respect for their hard-earned dollars. This funding will help small and rural municipalities in Lanark-FrontenacKingston and across Ontario improve how they deliver services and reduce the ongoing costs of providing

those services," Clark stated in a media release. "I look forward to continuing to work together with our municipal partners to help people and businesses thrive in communities across our province." Local municipalities set to receive funding include Carleton Place ($613,457), Mississippi Mills ($625,994) and Beckwith ($582,166). Lanark County will also get $725,000. Others include Smiths Falls, Perth, Montague, Lanark Highlands, Drummond/North Elmsley and Tay Valley, as well as Central Frontenac, South Frontenac and Frontenac County. According to Clark, the funds will help rural municipalities "that may have limited capacity to plan, modernize and improve the way they provide ser-

vices to their communities." Examples include IT solutions, shared services agreements, capital investments or service delivery reviews. "A key part of this announcement is that municipalities will decide how to best target funding to benefit their local communities," said Clark. "They know the needs of their local taxpayers and we've provided them with the flexibility to make those individualized decisions." Across the province, a total of 405 small and rural municipalities will receive funding. The formula arrived at to determine how much a municipality receives was based on the number of households in each area and whether the community was rural or urban.

WHAT HILLIER'S EXPULSION COULD MEAN LOCALLY It didn't come as much of a shock last week when the Ontario Progressive Conservative caucus chose to remove Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier permanently from its ranks. Rumours had been swirling about the expulsion for weeks, until the decision finally came March 15, a day after Hillier went public with a letter to media outlets. In it, he alleged the real reason for his suspension on Feb. 20 wasn't for disrespectful comments to families with autistic children, but for tensions with Premier Doug Ford's senior advisers. He also called on constituents to help sign a petition for his reinstatement. Hillier's expulsion brings to mind when former Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren was removed from the PC caucus in May 2017 over a video that surfaced in 2012 misleading voters and bemoaning French-language rights comments. MacLaren continued his duties, shifting to the Trillium Party of Ontario and even made a run in the June 2018 election but wasn't successful. Will Hillier resign, operate as an independent, or make the move to another party? But there's a bigger question if he remains in office. The veteran MPP has always been an outspoken advocate for constituents but how effective will he be in pushing issues in his riding to the forefront? He no longer has the ear of the premier and caucus. Many of our local municipalities are banking on the province to kick in funds for critical infrastructure upgrades. Take the Town of Carleton Place, for instance. Central Bridge on Bridge Street is in desperate need of replacement within the next five years at an estimated cost of $7.7 million. Its last rehabilitation was in 1983. As a main thoroughfare connecting the town, the tax base can't support the reconstruction and rely on government funding to help with the costs. In Mississippi Mills, who are currently putting the finishing touches on a five-year review of its Community Official Plan, council is concerned over recent news that a completely new Provincial Police Statement could be coming soon. Will this have an impact on all the work that's been done on the document over the past few years? Hillier is expected to appear as a delegation to that council in May and this is a question they have ready for him. Or what about the impact of funds lost through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund, beginning in 2020, as the province is set to review the funding model? Municipalities rely on these dollars. Not to mention what will now happen with the crusade Hillier recently took on to shake up the roles of conservation authorities across the province? While it remains to be seen how his expulsion will have an impact on the local riding, one thing we can count on, Hillier won't be silent for long.

Mississippi Mills is mourning the loss of a dedicated, community-minded citizen. John Souter lost his fight against cancer last Thursday, March 21, at home in Almonte, which is where he wanted to be. Wife Mary Lou, children Dugald and David, daughters-in-law Jodi and Valeria, and grandchildren Nea, Angus and Meaghan survive him. John was born and raised in Johnshaven, Scotland, a coastal village along the North Sea. He was educated at the University of Aberdeen, earning a master's degree in geography. After arriving in Canada in August 1968, Souter began his teaching career at Almonte District High School (ADHS). He and Mary Lou married in 1973, and together they made a

formidable team. In 1980, Almonte's centennial, the couple organized a nine-day festival to celebrate the occasion, featuring more than 75 events. John served three terms on municipal council, from 1980 to 1982, 1982 to 1985 and 1985 to 1988, and during this time, he had a hand in the development of Almonte's industrial park. "As a former member of council, all flags at municipal buildings have been lowered in his honour," Mississippi Mayor Christa Lowry noted on her Facebook page. She asked residents to keep John's wife and family "in your thoughts and prayers during this solemn time." John was the founder and first chair of the North Lanark Highland Games, a signature summer event, celebrating Scottish culture and heritage in the Ottawa Valley. Too, he was its longestserving director. On the 25th an-

niversary of the games in 2008, John and wife Mary Lou were honoured with the community's Cultural Volunteerism Award. Furthermore, John was the event's guest of honour in 2017. Active in many community organizations, John is most proud of his time as president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 (Almonte). He oversaw the renovation of the legion's heritage building and the development of the Second World War memory project, which led to the publication of the book, Age Shall Not Weary Them, in partnership with ADHS history students. He also authored a column in the former Almonte Gazette, telling the stories of veterans. Visitation takes place at the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home & Chapel, 127 Church St. in Almonte, on Monday, April 1 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. A commemoration service by legion comrades takes place at 6:45 p.m. A ceilidh celebrating John's life will be held on Friday, April 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the local legion, 100 Bridge St. For those who wish, the family would appreciate a donation to of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240.

And he rode with a jewelled twinkle, His pistol butts a-twinkle, His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under a jewelled sky." (Apologies to poetry purists).

plundered from the Americas. Apparently, government-sanctioned looting got you a knighthood in those times as the buccaneer Francis Drake became Sir Francis Drake. The pirate, on the other hand, appeared to be more hands on. The eye patch and wooden leg suggest that, unlike Sir Francis, he was battle-hardened and had come in contact with the business end of a twinkling Spanish rapier. The beard was probably more of a hand towel than a fashion statement. So me hearties, what will you be - pirate or buccaneer?

Mississippi Mills Coun. John Dalgity wants to see something done about the threat to children's safety at the Ottawa-Paterson street intersection in Almonte and believes a crossing guard could be a solution. The issue was discussed at the special meeting of council March 12, as part of budget deliberations. It was first raised at the budget session in Jan. 17 and treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh prepared a report on possible costs associated with a guard. She indicated at 10 hours per week, 44 weeks of the year, a guard's salary would be about $9,000. She based her numbers on talks with the Town of Carleton Place, which employs several crossing guards. "There are issues at the lights of Paterson and Ottawa streets where some children have had some close calls," Dalgity noted. "If there is some sort of guard there, that would be helpful, or an all-way stop." Schoolchildren frequent the area as Holy Name of Mary Catholic School and R. Tait McKenzie Public School are both on Paterson Street. Director of public works, Guy Bourgon, said council has the option to erect no "right turn on red light" signs which could help with the issue. Dalgity wondered if it was possible to program the traffic lights or look at a diagonal all-way stop type of crossing. "It's something we could

look into, but I personally don't see the diagonal fourway stop as an option," Bourgon answered. "It does impede the flow of traffic significantly and as councillors are aware, Ottawa Street is our busiest street ..." Coun. Bev Holmes suggested a pedestrian crossover, similar to those on both Almonte and Paterson streets. "Or maybe the no-right-turn sign between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. could work so it's not impeding people all the time," she said. Bourgon said there are signals at the Ottawa-Paterson street intersection with push buttons to prompt the lights to change. The difference between the pedestrian crossovers on Almonte and Paterson streets is that there are no pre-existing traffic lights there. "I haven't seen them (crossovers) in association with a regular set of traffic lights ... you wouldn't use them with traffic lights. The two don't mesh together," he stated. Noting the safety of the intersection was an issue while campaigning last fall, Coun. Jan Maydan said she and Dalgity met with local school trustees at the crossover on Paterson Street recently. The school provides adult crossing guards at that location and a school patrol system is engaged. "I don't feel that $9,000 is too much to spend on at least trying it (crossing guard)," she commented. "I do understand there may be problems trying to recruit people to do it." In her report to council, Whitmarsh stated there "is

a significant challenge finding and retaining qualified, capable, reliable people willing to work limited hours per day in often less than ideal weather conditions." There's also the issue of a backup guard in the event of illness. Whitmarsh said if one can't be found, the duties would fall to municipal staff, which wouldn't be ideal. "In Carleton Place, they have only one spare crossing guard for five positions," she stated in the report. "If necessary, they can use their full-time bylaw enforcement officer, fire prevention officer or deputy fire chief in the event of an absence." She mentioned the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit's walking school bus program could also be a solution to the problem. Eight schools in the region are participating, including R. Tait McKenzie Public School. The goal is to boost the number of students who choose active travel as a way to get to and home from school. Coun. Denzil Ferguson noted a meeting of the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards was set for March 13 and recommended raising the matter with the OPP. "They may have some suggestions specific to that ... If I recall correctly, in the past there were a lot of issues and concerns there were more red light runners at the time. It might be a matter of better enforcement," he said. Council agreed to set aside the matter until a conversation could be had with the OPP on the intersection. If they decide to include a crossing guard in the 2019 budget, it will be discussed at the April 4 public budget meeting.

SIX CANDIDATES VIE FOR POSITION Continued from page 4

lished a non-profit corporation to provide legal services to disadvantaged people, said his personal battles with addiction, homelessness and mental health, would give him a unique perspective around the council table. He referenced a desire to bridge the rural/urban divide. "Council can't continue to think that it's better at making decisions than these people themselves," he said. Other focuses for him are on accessibility, urban sprawl and financial integrity. Maynard said he'd like to see monthly financial statements delivered to council, along with "accurate information and proper planning." He pledged to listen to the public and use social media to share news of the municipality. "I will be an advocate for Mississippi

Mills ... even if I disagree with the majority of council." Wood, who is out of the country, had his statements read by 2018 council candidate Ken Kicksee. A former councillor and business owner who's now retired, Wood said he has the time and desire to serve his community. "I want to be part of a progressive team." His focuses lie with managed growth and infill, infrastructure upgrades, ensuring all sectors in the community thrive and affordable housing. "Maybe we need to reassess lot sizes and introduce smaller homes," he said. Fiscal challenges are something he wants to help council tackle and indicated it's important for the public to understand the provincial regulations under which the municipality operates. "Communication is a

two-way stream," Wood noted. "Once a decision has been reached, I will act on it decisively." The final candidate of the evening was Hinks, who wants to continue to help foster the municipality's unique character. He said it's most important to have the right management and senior staff in place to ensure "we are increasing our economic prosperity and not just building more bedrooms for Ottawa." He said industry, agriculture, arts and culture all need to be nurtured and cited high-speed internet as an important piece of the puzzle. As a fundraiser with non-profit corporations, Hinks said he's able to make sense of financial statements and wants the municipality to move forward in an honest and transparent way when it comes to listening to the public's concerns. "People need to place trust in their elected officials," he said. The meeting to officially select and swear-in the new deputy mayor took place March 28, after press deadline.

CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL'S 2018 REMUNERATION MADE PUBLIC TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place taxpayers paid just over $194,000 to council members in 2018. During the March 12 committee of the whole (COW) meeting, the remuneration paid in the previous year to local politicians for their services as a member of council or any other body were made public, a requirement of the Municipal Act, 2001. The detailed statement of remuneration for 2018, which was prepared by treasurer Trisa McConkey, included the members of the 2018-2022 and 2014-2018 councils. Carleton Place's current council, elected in October 2018, consists of Mayor Doug Black, Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond and councillors Jeff Atkinson, Theresa Fritz, Toby Randell, Linda Seccaspina and An-

drew Tennant. The previous body: Louis Antonakos (mayor), Jerry Flynn (deputy mayor) and Black, Brian Doucett, Fritz, Redmond and Ross Trimble (councillors). Remuneration is made up of honorarium and per diem amounts as well as expenses. According to McConkey, expenses encompass amounts paid for conference registration, travel, Internet access, cellphone use and employee, group health and dental benefits. Also listed were discretionary fund expenditures, which "do not provide a direct, personal benefit to the member or his or her family, such as donations to community organizations," she noted. In Carleton Place, the mayor's discretionary fund is $4,250, while the deputy mayor is allotted $2,200 and councillors $1,200.

2018 figures Black was compensated $33,530.08. The breakdown: $21,161.41 (honorarium), $1,725 (per diem) and $10, 643.67 (expenses). His discretionary fund expenditures totalled $1,200. Redmond received $22,990.18, which included a $20,020.99 honorarium and $2,969.19 for expenses. His discretionary fund expenditures totalled $1,200. Atkinson was compensated $1,694.87. The breakdown: $1,520.56 (honorarium) and $174.31 (expenses). Monies paid out to Fritz totalled $23,058.18. The breakdown: $19,767.28 (honorarium) and $3,290.90 (expenses). Her discretionary fund expenditures totalled $1,200. Randell and Tennant were each compensated $1,730.32, which included a $1,520.56 honorarium and $209.76 for expenses. Seccaspina brought

home $1,730.32. The breakdown: $1,520.56 (honorarium) and $174.31 (expenses). Atkinson, Randell, Seccaspina and Tennant utilized no discretionary funds. Antonakos received $22,331.89. The breakdown: $6,995.36 (honorarium), $337.50 (per diem) and $14,999.03 (expenses). His discretionary fund expenditures totalled $869.79. In February 2018, the former mayor's honorarium was docked 270 days and his discretionary fund suspended - penalties imposed for breaching the town's council code of conduct on three separate occasions. "The honorarium is very low, which is what council had stopped, as well as his discretionary funds," McConkey explained to the media. "He was not allowed to spend, but he still did have travel

expenses and medical and dental expenses." A year earlier, Antonakos was penalized a sum of just over $10,500 for disclosing confidential information from an in-camera meeting. Monies paid out to Flynn in 2018 totalled $26,930.64. The breakdown: $22,650.33 (honorarium), $975 (per diem) and $3,305.31 (expenses). His discretionary fund expenditures totalled $2,193.09. Doucett was compensated $28,685.77, which included an $18,120.25 honorarium, $900 in per diem charges and $9,665.52 for expenses. His discretionary fund expenditures totalled $1,299.81. Trimble brought $20,759.47 home. The breakdown: $18,120.25 (honorarium) and $2,639.22 (expenses). His discretionary fund expenditures totalled $1,200.

During the COW meeting, council carried a motion to accept the 2018 statement of remuneration as information. Moreover, staff was directed to prepare detailed expense and discretionary fund use in future council remuneration reports, beginning in 2019. Council members expressed an interest in increasing transparency and accountability to taxpayers. However, in order to protect council's personal privacy, the reports will exclude medical and dental expenses. Instead, the treasurer noted, "the total cost of medical and dental benefit amounts paid will be prorated and allocated between all members based on the number of months each member was in office for the particular year." Randell chaired the COW meeting for an absent Fritz. Redmond was also away.

OPEN HOUSE MAKES PROM DREAMS COME TRUE MARCH 30 ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Want to attend prom but don't have the funds? Carleton Place resident Natasha Major can help. For the third year, Major is co-ordinating the Prom Dreams Open House, which outfits teens with dresses, accessories, shoes, etc. for free. The open house is set for Saturday, March 30 from noon to 3 p.m. at Carleton Place High School gym. All students are welcome. "The reason I continue to run this event is simply to make sure everyone has the chance to go to prom or grad feeling beautiful!" she

noted. "Clothes, shoes, hair, makeup, etc. can all be so expensive so hopefully someone can come to the open house and find some items they love to help them save money." In an interview with this newspaper last year, Major said the concept to bring an event like this to the area was through TLC's 'Say Yes to the Prom' program. Major collects prom dresses and accessories throughout the year and will have dozens of gowns in different sizes and colours to choose from. There will also be a small selection of menswear on offer.

UNION HALL SERVES UP PANCAKE BREAKFAST

Metroland file photo Dozens of dresses, like the ones shown above, will be on offer March 30 at Carleton Place High School during the third annual Prom Dreams Open House. The event offers dresses, suits, shoes and accessories, to local students free of charge. As an added perk, students stopping by the open house can enter their name in a draw for a gift certificate for a three-course dinner for two from Black Tartan Kitchen in Carleton Place. The prize was gener-

ously donated by chef/ owner Ian Carswell. For more information, check out the event's Facebook page by searching 'Prom Dreams Open House' or contact Major at nmajor000@hotmail.com.

Once again, the folks at Union Hall are celebrating the coming of spring on Sunday, March 31 with a pancake breakfast. Food is being served from 8 a.m. until noon. Diners will enjoy pancakes, ham or sausages, beans or blueberries, with lashings of butter and maple syrup, accompanied by fruit juice, Equator coffee or tea. The cost of this springtime treat is a modest $7, or $9 for the larger appetite. Kids 10 and under eat for $5. No reservations necessary. Union Hall, located at the corner of Wolf Grove and Tatlock Roads, west of Almonte, has served the public for more than 160 years. This year, visitors will be greeted by a second outdoor mural, featuring the former cheese factory,

courtesy of local artist Laurel Cook. The hall is maintained by the local community with some assistance from the municipality of Mississippi Mills. Union Hall is an 8 km drive west of Almonte through scenic maple bush along Wolf Grove Road. After breakfast, visitors can take a closer look at maple syrup production by visiting local operators, west of the hall.

OPENING PROPOSED FOR SEPTEMBER Continued from page 2

proximity to Carleton Junction. "Currently, there is a tenant in the building ... the stand alone unit on the far right hand side," Smithson noted. "They are staying." So how will the Carleton Place Seniors' Centre work? Basically, the town will provide the space and pay the facility's capital and operating costs, including snow removal, grass cutting, cleaning, utilities, insurance, set up

and take down for events, etc. "The Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) in Mississippi Mills will oversee the programming," Smithson advised. The MCSC has staff for its seniors' programming, which is utilized and supplemented with a dozen or more volunteers. This same model is being proposed for the Carleton Place Seniors' Centre. There will be an annual membership fee of $20 per senior, which is payable

through the recreation and culture department. Moreover, there is a $2 fee per activity. A higher activity fee is possible for field trips or specialized activities, when an instructor or specialist is required. Smithson noted: " ... there may be an ability to help subsidize those seniors who do not have an ability to pay." This fee model is similar to the one used at the seniors' centre in Smiths Falls. Furthermore, Carleton

Place intends to look into provincial grant funding. The MCSC receives an annual grant of $30,000 for its seniors' centre, which comes by way of the Seniors' Active Living Grant.

Mayor Doug Black noted brought up a request from the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation regarding the building. With the proposed expansion of the hospital's emergency department, the foundation will be embarking on a $3 million fundraising campaign.

"The foundation would like to occupy two spots upstairs for 10 months," Black said, and "I think there is some merit in accommodating the request." After press time, at the March 26 COW meeting, council discussed a motion to authorize the free use of office space for two foundation staff members for a period of no more than one and a half years at the former train station, on the provision all set up costs are the responsibility of the foundation.

& Local Historian John Curry “Richmond… The Movie” Highlighting Richmond’s early relationship Metroland file photo Mississippi Mills council has decided to fund the $502,000 in cost overruns for the Gemmill Park expansion through long-term financing and the sale of surplus land. Pictured, children enjoy the new splash pad during the park's grand opening in June 2018.

LONG-TERM FINANCING, SALE OF LAND TO FUND COST OVERAGE FOR GEMMILL PARK ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com

Coun. Denzil Ferguson wondered if there was an up-to-date report on municipal land for sale. "I only assume it should be updated. I think the municipal lands we have are not very valuable, just dead ends and little parcels. It's not, in my mind, enough to cover the costs," he said. "It may come down to the sale of parkland, which we know we have plenty of." Coun. John Dalgity indicated the land list he viewed was from 2013. Whitmarsh acknowledged a "fulsome package with mapping can be updated." "Perhaps it's a good idea to rejuvenate the sale of land committee to start these discussions," she added. See OVER, page 30

Mississippi Mills could be paying off the cost overruns in Almonte's Gemmill Park for quite some time. Council decided to tackle the $502,174 that remains unfunded through longterm financing (20-year loan) and the sale of surplus municipal land. The decision was made following discussion during a special council meeting surrounding the budget on March 12. "Assuming an interest rate of four per cent for 20 years, the annual repayment costs would be $36,360," treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh explained in her report to council, noting she recommends a 20year option over 10 years

"as the park facilities should not need replacement before then and it makes the debt payments more affordable to the residents in terms of the taxation impacts." The upgrades to the park, which included a skate park, splash pad and accessible washrooms, were completed in 2017 at a cost of $1,057.197. Whitmarsh stated in her report that $555,023 of the project was funded through development charges, reserves and deferred revenue, and grants. Change orders approved by council during the process amounted to $89,512. A sum of $300,000 was to be put toward the project, but council repealed that 2017 decision on Feb. 5, leaving a shortfall.

OPINION

GRACELAND PILGRIMAGE FULFILLED LONGTIME WISH JEFF MAGUIRE GIVES GRACELAND TWO THUMBS DOWN FOR COMMERCIALISM JEFF MAGUIRE Column

In his Grammy-winning 1986 song "Graceland," popular American singersongwriter Paul Simon reveals his thoughts during a road trip to the home of legendary entertainer Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. In the lyrics, Simon states, "For reasons I cannot explain there's some part of me wants to see Graceland." Even though I can't list myself as a dedicated fan of Elvis Aaron Presley, I have always appreciated his tremendous talent and the major impact he had on the world of entertainment.

Not only did Elvis earn the title "King of Rock and Roll," but his musical talent crossed many genres; he was also a very credible actor, appearing in 31 movies. There's no question that he is one of the cultural icons of the 20th century! Like Paul Simon, my wife Kathleen and I have long been drawn to Graceland. We have visited Tennessee many times over the years, and have a number of friends in the growing Nashville suburb of Franklin. We had harboured a longtime wish to see Memphis, but for whatever reasons, we had not travelled there - until this month, that is! A catalyst for our visit to west Tennessee was the

opportunity to go there in the company of our good friends from England, Martin and Wendy Ireton. They journeyed from their home in West Yorkshire to spend 10 days with us, mainly in Nashville and area. Like us, they had long wanted to see Elvis' beloved mansion. If you are a music fan, there are no better places to visit than Nashville and Memphis. Both cities are at the heart of the industry! Still, it was Graceland that was at the top of our list of things to do in Memphis. When Elvis purchased the mansion and surrounding 14-acre property in March 1957 (for $102,500) it was in a rural setting - urban sprawl has since surrounded it in commercial and residential development. Graceland is on the east side of Tennessee State

Highway 51, along a stretch of roadway now dubbed "Elvis Presley Boulevard." Since his untimely death, in 1977 at the tender age of 42, Graceland has been owned by his surviving family; his daughter and only child Lisa Marie Presley inherited it in 1993 when she turned 25. We were impressed by the mansion itself, which continues to have the feel of the 1960s-style residence Elvis developed and loved so much. The original 10,266-square-foot Colonial Revival style mansion was built in 1939 for a Memphis socialite and her husband. The expansive surrounding property includes the "Meditation Garden," containing the graves of the singer, his parents Vernon and Gladys and his grandmother Minnie Presley. The house tour is limit-

ed to the main floor and basement of the mansion. There is original memorabilia, including many family photographs throughout the house and outbuildings. Also on the Graceland estate is a separate structure containing Vernon Presley's office, the racquetball building (Elvis was heavily into the sport at one time) and of course, the family cemetery. Graceland itself is puny compared to the vast commercial complex across the boulevard, which is owned and operated by a separate company. So, do we recommend

the Graceland experience? The house, property and family cemetery are definitely worth seeing. As for the commercial complex nearby, I give that aspect of the visit two thumbs down. Overdone in my opinion, but I'm sure Elvis' ardent fans will beg to differ. It is all in the eye of the beholder, after all! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

SOUTER John Randell

On Thursday, March 21, 2019, John lost a brave fight against cancer. He died at home, since that was his wish, after a fulfilling life of service to his family, his teaching career and his community. John was born and raised in Johnshaven, a fishing village of 700 souls on the north-east coast of Scotland. He was educated at the University of Aberdeen, earning an M.A. in Geography. After being interviewed in Edinburgh Scotland John arrived here in 1968, to begin his career teaching Geography at Almonte District High School and his life in Canada.. In 1973, John married a fellow teacher, Mary Lou Murphy, and together they made a formidable team, both within the school environment and the community. In 1980 they coordinated the Almonte Centennial Celebrations a nine day festival featuring more than 75 events. Afterwards, John was elected to the first of three terms on Almonte Town Council where, as EDC Chairman, he negotiated the initial development of the town’s industrial park. He also dedicated hundreds of hours as the founder and first Chair of the North Lanark Highland Games, subsequently serving as a Director for more than 30 years. John has been active in many community organizations, but is perhaps most proud of his time as Executive member and President of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 240. John oversaw multiple renovation projects to its heritage building, collected the stories of veterans which he shared in a column for the Almonte Gazette, and partnered with ADHS staff and students to develop a WW II memory project which led to the publication of the book, “Age Shall Not Weary Them”. John and Mary Lou were awarded the 2008 Mississippi Mills Cultural Volunteerism Award for their work on behalf of the community. John was a proud and loving father to his sons and daughters-in-law – Dugald and Jodi, David and Valeria. He adored his grandchildren, Nea, Angus and Meaghan, and embraced the extended Murphy clan as his Canadian family. Friends may visit to share memories at the C. R.

DESPITE LACK OF FUNDS, BIRTHDAYS WERE SPECIAL OCCASIONS FATHER HAD TO DIG DEEP FOR SISTER AUDREY, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

My sister Audrey's birthday was coming up, and even though there never was much celebration, like having a party and asking friends over, Mother always tried to make the supper meal special. That meant a birthday cake of course, and it also meant little presents. One dime would be buried in the batter before the cake went into the oven. Since there were five of us children, Mother made sure there would be five little presents in the cake, and it was assumed Audrey would get the ten-cent piece. I watched Mother put the cake together in the big brown bowl, and the little presents were no surprise. They were what came in a five-cent box of Cracker Jacks, accumulated over a long time, and put away especially to be put into the birthday cake. They were wrapped in small pieces of waxed paper, as was the dime. I watched mother pour the cake batter into two cake tins, and then, with a spoon, sink the little wrapped presents and the dime deep into the cake. For birthdays, and spe-

cial occasions, we always had chocolate cake. This was a luxury, because a can of Watkins cocoa was not cheap! And as the cake cooled on the bake table, I could smell the richness of the chocolate, and many times I went close just so I could get a good whiff of it. We always had pork chops on Audrey's birthday, since they were her favourite, and Mother would dip them in eggs and bread crumbs before frying them, just the way Audrey liked them. Finally, the table was cleared of the vegetable bowls, the meat platter, and dishes of pickles. The cake was brought from the bake table and set before Audrey who would have the honour of cutting it and blowing out the one candle that was used for everyone's birthday. Then Audrey cut into the cake, big wedges, and slapped them on the small plates in front of her. I could see bits and pieces of wax paper, and Audrey made sure that the four brothers and I each got a piece with a little prize in it. She was some fair, was my sister Audrey! But where was the dime? Mother didn't have to tell us that whoever got it had to hand it over to Audrey. We knew it would be

hers. After all, it was her birthday. Father was the last to finish. He shoved his plate away, and as plain as the nose on your face, there in front of him was a small bit of crumbled wax paper and the ten-cent coin. "That should just about buy me a small plug of tobacco at Briscoe's," he said, moving it around under his finger. He picked it up, got off his chair and headed for the rocker in front of the Findlay Oval tucking the dime into his overall pocket. Mother just stared at him, and my sister, who would never defy either parent, slowly began to get ready to wash the dishes. When Father got to the rocker, he dug into his overall pocket, and said, "Here Audrey, I think this is yours." Audrey reached out and Father dropped the dime, and then another dime, into her hand. Two whole dimes! Only one was in the cake, and as luck would have it, it appeared in Father's wedge. It didn't take Audrey long to tear upstairs and tie both dimes in the corner of her hanky, adding them to the small collection of coins she had been saving for a very long time. Father would have to go into the sugar bowl in the cupboard to get a few coins to buy his next plug of tobacco. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

OVER $500,000 REMAINS UNFUNDED Continued from page 19

Ferguson threw out the suggestion of adding a one per cent tax increase to the 2019 budget to help with the costs. It would equate to about $100,000, but no council members were willing to entertain a discussion. Adding it all to the budget would equal a just over five per cent tax increase. With further capital improvements planned for Gemmill Park in the future, Coun. Jan Maydan indicated she was in favour of long-term financing. "If we need to come up with land right away to fund this, we have to find a buyer for it," she said. "Was there a buyer waiting in the wings for the other land (Don Maynard Park) as well?" "I wasn't privy to that discussion or any discussion regarding that," Whitmarsh answered. "But you can't just pick a property and stick a 'for sale' sign on it. We have a procurement policy to follow." Coun. Cynthia Guerard asked how long council could put off making a decision. "You're asking what's the appropriate time to leave something unfunded that's already been done?" stated Whitmarsh. "I can put it off for a while to have a cursory review of the lands, that's fine, but it can't go on much longer." While some council members were more in favour of the sale of land to fund the overrun, Mayor Christa Lowry pointed out it may not be a quick process. "What kind of time frame would you be comfortable with (for a decision)?" she asked Whitmarsh. "Definitely by fall, no later," Whitmarsh confirmed, adding that the fluctuation of interest rates could be an issue as well. Lowry said it's not unheard of to obtain long-term financing for significant costs such as this. The same is being done for the more than $900,000 dasher board project at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham, she noted. "It's not inappropriate for us to look at the long-term financing and it would clean it up for the treasurer. I encourage you to look at the recommendation from staff," she commented. "It doesn't mean we don't look at the sale of land also, but I don't know if leaving it open is a wise decision on our part ..." Council agreed to a combination of longterm financing and land sales, but in the meantime, Dalgity said he'd "like to get on the land part of it right away."
