COUNCILLOR SEEKS CHANGES TO COW CHAIR STRUCTURE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Since the new council was sworn in back in December, Mississippi Mills Mayor Christa Lowry has served as both council and committee of the whole chair, something Coun. Cynthia Guerard would like to see change. Just as council was about to move into the committee of the whole (COW) session at its April 2 meeting, Guerard proposed "we actually have a second person be a chair for COW meetings." "We can certainly have that discussion," answered Lowry. "I don't think it fits on this agenda, as we don't have it listed as something we want to discuss. It can be something we look at when we look at the procedural bylaw or it could be some-
thing where we meet as a striking committee and decide upon as well." Coun. Jan Maydan, also in support of the change, pointed out that discussing this item doesn't need to come forward on a future agenda as a notice of motion. "Just a point of order, when discussing the chair of committee of the whole, it doesn't need to be brought to the agenda. Anyone can move it and vote on it," she stated. The previous council operated under a structure which would have council members serve as committee of the whole chairs on a rotational basis. On Jan. 30, 2018 former Coun. Jane Torrance's motion to appoint Lowry as committee of the whole chair until the end of the council term (Nov. 30, 2018) was passed. When the new council was sworn in,
Ashley Kulp/Metroland Mississippi Mills Coun. Cynthia Guerard put forth a recommendation to make changes to the committee of the whole chair structure during the April 2 meeting. Mayor Christa Lowry currently serves as council and committee of the whole chair. she continued the duties. Guerard told this newspaper the reason behind her motion was so all coun-

cil members obtain experience in chairing a meeting. In addition to Guerard, Dalgity and Maydan are also
first-time councillors. "Committee of the whole meetings are just for information, so if we're (council members) going to learn how to chair a meeting, committee of the whole is the time to learn," she said. She plans to put forth a notice of motion on the April 16 council agenda for further discussion. On April 2, council looked to clerk Jeanne Harfield and acting chief administrative officer Shawna Stone for clarification. Stone said where the municipality's procedural bylaw falls silent, council defaults to Robert's Rules of Order. According to section 62, Stone said "the mayor shall chair council meetings unless he or she is unavailable or has a conflict. In the absence of and if a quorum is present, then the committee of the whole
chair shall call the members to order and will preside over that until the arrival of the mayor." "So the mayor is the chair of the meeting," she commented. New deputy mayor Rickey Minnille said he would have liked notice before Guerard proposed the change. "It would have been nice to have been brought forward a little earlier so we could have more research on it," he noted. So the meeting could continue, Coun. Denzil Ferguson put a motion on the floor for Lowry to chair that evening's committee of the whole meeting "and decide after the fact what happens." It was seconded by Minnille. "If there's not anything further, we're going to move forward with the agenda," Lowry said.

YOUR COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP Celebrating our 25th 30th Year serving Almonte and area
We write this in the hope of clarifying and putting to rest some rumors that may be heard in and about our town of Almonte. Coady’s Car Care (Almonte) Ltd is NOT closing … Doug is NOT retiring … However, the building which we have been renting and have had our place of business for 31 years, is presently “For Sale by Auction”. We will admit that this is an unexpected occurrence and has taken us by surprise! If the owner (of the building) is not accepting of offers made and therefore does not sell, Coady’s Car Care and our excellent staff will remain and will continue to serve our customers at 30 Mill Street for the foreseeable future. If the building does sell, we hope that we will be able to make arrangements under the new ownership to continue in our same place. While the future at this time is uncertain, we will hope for the same good business relationship with the new owner(s) that we have always known in the past. We will meet the challenges ahead, as they arise.

CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL GREEN LIGHTS BOULTON HOUSE PATIO EXPANSION TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place council has permitted the expansion of the commercial rear patio at Boulton House, 35 Mill St., to a maximum of 84 persons. The approval occurred at the March 26 committee of the whole (COW) meeting. Councillors Jeff Atkinson and Linda Seccaspina declared a conflict of interest regarding the matter. Atkinson owns property in the condominium building at 49 Mill St., which is adjacent to Boulton House. Seccaspina's family has a business interest in relation to the subject property. Boulton House, a 50-plus seat Italian restaurant, opened its doors to the public in December 2018. The eatery features raised and main level
dining rooms with views of the Mississippi River, in addition to a cocktail bar on the first floor. Rod Scribner and Janice Mathers own and operate Boulton House; however, The Regional Group, an Ottawabased real estate investment, development and management firm, retains the property. For some time, Scribner desired to increase the number of people Boulton House's patio could accommodate. The previous establishment, Slackoni's Fine Italian Cuisine, was licensed for 55 people outside. Earlier this year, Scribner told the Canadian Gazette, with capacity for 84 people, he wanted to make the patio "a beautiful place for customers to lounge and relax, with a mixture of tables and L-shaped sectionals and coffee tables." He added: "A patio where
guests can dine al fresco by the water ... fresh oysters and nice wines in the summer." On March 26, not everyone was pleased with council's decision to approve the class two development permit application, allowing the expansion of the commercial rear patio at Boulton House. A handful of neighbours voiced their concerns. Roderick Fernandes lives across the street from the restaurant. He asked council to reject the current development permit application. Instead, he wanted the applicant to submit a new application and site plan (a patio in the existing area with capacity for 60 people). Fernandes raised a number of concerns: on-street parking, increased light, public and patron safety, disorderly conduct, trespassing, waste dis-

posal and more. "Residential peace, local street safety and neighbourhood character will be adversely affected," he stressed. Wendy James, a resident at 49 Mill St., was registered to speak on the matter. Although she is pleased to see Boulton House open, she does not believe an increased patio size is in the best interest of the residential neighbourhood. Her main concerns: increased traffic, parking, safety issues on Mill and adjacent streets, and site uses (not a wedding venue). "Council has a very difficult decision to make tonight," James stated. "I am asking you all to reject the class two development permit application as written." See RESIDENTS, page 23

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? BECKWITH STREET APARTMENT BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN CARLETON PLACE No longer a small town, Carleton Place is seeing explosive growth, and there has been a hub of construction activity recently at 11 Beckwith St., the property neighbouring the Market Square. Just the facts: • A four-storey apartment building (nearly 61,000 square feet) with 51 units is proposed for 11 Beckwith St. Two commercial spaces (approximately 3,050 square feet) will be located on the street level. • The developer is Guy Saumure & Sons Construction Ltd. The company, which deals in residential, commercial, industrial and institutional construction, is headquartered in Smiths Falls. • Seventy per cent of the units at 11 Beckwith St. are barrier free, with the remaining spaces having an accessible design. All units are rentals, ranging in size from 700 to 1,000 square feet. • There are a total of 64 parking spaces on site - outside and inside.
• The property is designated as Mississippi Residential Sector. • The development is designed to match the Market Square Pavilion. Too, it takes into consideration material types utilized in and around the community, upholding heritage colours. • The municipality deemed the property surplus in 2011, listing it for sale. High density was always the intention for the space. "How time flies," Mayor Doug Black recently told the Canadian Gazette. "Back in 2011, it was the great Coun. Gary Strike who convinced the council of the day to shave a portion of the original Canadian Tire property for a residential housing project." During the same term of council (20102014), the municipality purchased the adjacent property (green house), hoping to add further viability to the land's development. According to Black, Chris Saumure, the vice president and manager of operations at Guy Saumure & Sons Construction Ltd., is hoping to be ready to lease by summer 2020, with the units "in the affordable range for our residents." "We are excited to have another reputable developer investing here in our community," the mayor said.

HOW DO REPORTERS GET THEIR SOURCES? THE HANDLING OF SOURCES IS NOT SOMETHING JOURNALISTS TAKE LIGHTLY, WRITES HOLLIE PRATT HOLLIE PRATT Column
insideottawavalley.com
It's about trust. Our relationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This column is part of that project. How do you get your sources? It's one of the most frequent questions journalists receive, and the handling of sources is not something we take lightly. Sometimes sources come to us. We'll be approached by a community member we've made a connection with through another story, or taking a phone call, email or social media message from someone who has an interesting story to tell. For routine types of reporting such as crime, all factual information should be confirmed by an official source - for example, the police in the case of a crime. Responsible journalists avoid publishing rumours by getting the facts from sources whose job it is to know the truth in
such situations. Other times we must look a little harder for sources. This could mean reaching out to people via email, social media and phone, or even knocking on doors in search of comments. Usually, these types of sources add colour to your story - anecdotal accounts and/or character descriptions of the story's subject. The public interest is best served when news sources are identified by their full name, and we always encourage people to go on the record; however, there are exceptions. Sometimes, reporters will use confidential sources if that is the best way to serve the public interest. Underage and vulnerable people may also require anonymity for their own safety. The decision to publish comments by an anonymous source is not one we take lightly. The reporter must discuss the situation with their senior editor, and if the decision is made to move forward with the comments, the reporter must describe in the article why the source is not being named. Essentially, everyone, including you reading this article right now, is a potential source for a reporter. You never know when you may be invited to contribute your knowledge or expertise to a future story. Hollie Pratt is digital editor for Metroland Media East. We welcome your questions and value your comments. Email our trust committee at trust@metroland.com.

OCNA AWARDS GALA RECOGNIZES NEWSPAPERS' BEST LAURIE WEIR WRITES ABOUT AN AWARD-WINNING TRIP WITH COLLEAGUES LAURIE WEIR Column
Friday, April 5 was a night to celebrate, as our 80plus Metroland papers racked up 73 Ontario Community Newspapers Association awards, and our news team of 10 in the Ottawa Valley earned seven of them. Smiths Falls reporter, Evelyn Harford earned our only first place plaque with her story on LGBTQ+ issues surrounding the town's first pride event last summer. The judge said it was a story that highlights the concerns and experiences of people we haven't historically seen represented. This one did a particularly good job of that and Evelyn let the voices of the people speak for themselves. We had four second
place finishes. Tara Gesner's series on the political scene in Carleton Place earned the number two spot and her first-ever OCNA award. The judge highlighted her "very thorough look at a small town meltdown at the hands of the current mayor." Desmond Devoy had the other second place finish with his headline writing, which included 'Urine Trouble', and '50 Shades of Brown'. The judge said these headlines had him laughing and that he actually enjoyed reading about pee and paint trouble in Perth. Evelyn also received two second-place finishes: one for environmental writing, in what the judge said was an important story and what community journalism is all about; and one for her story about the missing soldiers' names on the Smiths Falls cenotaph,
which was "a well documented story." Desmond was third for a creative 'grip-and-grin' photo of balls being presented to local schools. He had the staff at Metro, Perth toss a bunch of balls in the air, which the judge said created action which is good for a static photo. I earned third place for a health and wellness story, which highlighted the need for AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in Perth after a man had a heart attack while playing soccer and his teammates administered CPR. Of note from the judge: "It's a great mix of strong quotes from a variety of sources and helpful medical information. This is a story that could potentially safe a life." It was nice to kick back with my colleagues and have some fun. We hope you enjoyed our stories over the past year, and we're committed to bringing you even more of them in the future.

"A lot of people don't know," McKay admitted. "They know about the OSAP cuts, so we're making sure they know why we're out here and why it affects them." Kay urges local students to get involved by posting their walkout photos to social media with #StudentsSayNo. "We want this to gain attention and get the wheels turning on future protests and future fights against this because this is not OK." For Jackson and his friend Emily Lopez, the OSAP cuts will have a big impact and delay their postsecondary education studies. Announced Jan. 17, the changes involve scrapping

STORY BEHIND THE STORY
On March 15, provincial Education Minister Lisa Thompson announced the Ford government's new vision for education entitled 'Education that Works for You.' More than 700 elementary and secondary students across Ontario took their education into their own hands to protest changes they feel affect their access to a good education.

tests on sex-ed curriculum changes and Ontario School Assistance Program (OSAP) cuts. " ... We've achieved results before and we expect to successfully defend the interests of Ontario's students once again," said March for Education co-director Frank Hong in a media release, noting they've helped reinstated much of the 2015 sex-ed curriculum, which was repealed in July 2018. Cuts announced by Education Minister Lisa Thompson March 15 include mandatory e-learning courses for all students, changes to the Ontario Autism Program, possible job losses of more than 5,000 teachers which would prompt an increase in class size, as well as the banning of cellphones. "It's not fair that we don't have a say in our own futures. We are the future," noted grade 11 NDHS student Alex Kay. "We're all supporting the fact that we want our education to be a good education and not have to spend every minute fighting for it," added Kate Van Campen, who attends grade 9 at NDHS. At NDHS, hundreds of students circled the school's perimeter carrying handmade placards bearing the messages 'Students Say No' and 'I Should Be in School Getting an Education, Not Fighting for One' and chanting "No funds, no future." "It started with just six of us and we watched the doors open and a flood of people come out," remarked Caleb, a grade 12 student at the school. For Kay and Jackson, the most important aspect
free tuition grants in favour of 10 per cent off tuition, with a focus on low-income families. The threshold for eligibility has also been lowered. "I can't afford school anymore," Jackson said, adding he will be taking a year off before studying pre-health science with the hopes of attending university for registered nursing. "I'll have to take at least one year off to save enough money." In grade 12 student Lopez's case, she's been accepted to Trent University to take arts with the eventual goal of working in museums, but is being forced to delay her schooling as well. "I want to go to school. I want to learn and I want to be able to teach people," she said. An increase in class sizes has students worried about absorbing information and Kay said placing those with behavioural issues into classrooms with those who don't doesn't benefit either party. "Upping the class sizes makes it harder for us to learn and easier for kids to slip through the cracks," noted NDHS grade 9 student Shannon Melville. Across town at CPHS, the protest was more subdued. Just after 1:15 p.m., students began to trickle out of the high school, with a few bearing signs. Being forced to complete four mandatory high school courses online was a big concern for CPHS grade 11 student Eryn McAllister. "For me, being forced to do online courses, personally I would learn way better with teachers in the classroom and I know a lot of other students so too," she said. "They're (province) compromising our education and it's not benefitting us at all." Her friend, fellow grade

OPINION
OTTAWA 67'S SUCCESS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES ABOUT THE FIRST JUNIOR TEAM HE EVER FOLLOWED forge a future in the game. Many are spurred on by the possibility of winning a scholarship to a major college or university (south of the border in most cases) while others have their sights set on a professional hockey career. I don't need to tell you that the NHL Ottawa Senators have not enjoyed a positive 2018-2019 campaign. Their on-ice and off-ice problems are daily fodder for the media. However hockey fans in the national capital region have had a lifeline thrown their way. Ottawa 67's are ranked among the top four Major Junior hockey teams
JEFF MAGUIRE Column
It is junior hockey playoff time in Canada a period which, besides acting as an introduction to a long awaited spring, is also the most entertaining period for fans of the sport at this level. I've been following junior hockey for more than 50 years and writing about it for nearly as long. To me it's the most exciting version of Canada's national winter sport. Junior hockey players are all hoping to
on the continent. They rang up a club record 106 points and finished atop the overall standings in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) this season. The talent-laden team swept Hamilton Bulldogs in their opening playoff series. Last weekend 67's began a second round series, hosting Sudbury Wolves at The Arena at TD Place (formerly the Ottawa Civic Centre). Ottawa are among the favourites to advance to this year's Memorial Cup tournament in Halifax next month. I've been hoping to get to a 67's game this season and may do so yet. However, with the Jr. A playoffs heading down to the wire I am heavily invested in supporting our hometown Carleton
Place Canadians, perennial champions and finalists in the Central Canada Hockey League. This season with Sens' fortunes sagging and 67's nearly unbeatable attendance at Major Junior games in the city has shot up. Recent contests have seen crowds in the 6,000 range which is very good for junior hockey. It will be interesting to watch as these 67's pursue their main goal, a third Memorial Cup for Ottawa. The city's first national junior title came in 1984 and the second came in 1999 when 67's hosted the national tournament. As I ponder their recent success my mind goes back to the 67's inaugural campaign during Canada's Cen-
tennial year, hence the team's nickname. The first Major Junior game I ever saw pitted Ottawa against the Peterborough Petes during that long ago campaign. If memory serves the final was 9-2 for the Petes. It was a blowout anyway! The freshman 67's won just six of 54 games, along with three ties. But that first team included outstanding players such as forward Pierre Jarry, defenceman Jean Potvin (the older brother of future NHL Hall of Famer and 67's alumnus Denis Potvin) and goalie Gary Doyle from Smiths Falls. Jarry scored an impressive 36 goals in Ottawa's inaugural campaign. Doyle meanwhile saw an awful lot of rubber between the pipes
for 67's during that first season. Ottawa made the playoffs in their second campaign and they have built an impressive 52-year history. I'm an Ottawa native and during my teens in particular I was a 67's diehard. I attended as many games as I could every season and have many fond memories of those days at the old Civic Centre. Obviously I hope the current 67's make it to the sixth Memorial Cup tournament in team history and that ultimately they're able to hoist junior hockey's biggest prize.

Tara Gesner/Metroland Carleton Place's Good Doctors Medical Clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and same-day appointments can be booked by calling 1-888-818-3254. Patients connect with doctors in the Greater Toronto Area over a video link. they can provide a doctor's note. "The company bills for things not covered by OHIP," Nasser informed. "Like a sick note." When an individual calls for an appointment, the person answering the phone will inquire about the desired Good Doctors Medical Clinic location. In this case: Carleton Place. "Tell them you need to see a doctor," Nasser said. "You will then be asked a few questions about your condition." "Normally, they are pretty fast," he continued. "You can get an appointment within a half-hour." When a person arrives at Pharmasave Carleton Place for his or her appointment, a pharmacy team member can take simple vital information like temperature, pulse and blood pressure. This is done in a private consultation room. "We are informed in advance by Good Doctors Medical Clinic of someone's pending arrival," Nasser noted. Within five minutes, a patient is linked via an iPad to a nurse practitioner in Toronto who does an as-
sessment, collecting more subjective data. "Just like the triage nurse does at the emergency department," Nasser said. "The pharmacy team member is not present at this time." The exchange is 100 per cent confidential. Soon after, the patient is linked to a doctor via telemedicine (computer video call). The nurse practitioner has already briefed the physician, and the doctor has received the results of any vitals taken by the pharmacy team member. "The doctor can refer a patient to a specialist and authorize labs tests (blood, urine, etc.), X-rays and ultrasounds ... any diagnostics," Nasser advised. "Someone may be told to go to the emergency room right away." Clinic appointments can last anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes. Nasser understands some people feel "there is a barrier" when chatting with a physician by video conference, but "at least you have contact with a doctor in real time." "I also know the doctor See PATIENTS, page 16

People in Carleton Place without a doctor can access a new walk-in clinic. The local Good Doctors Medical Clinic launched earlier this year, located inside Pharmasave Carleton Place - 230 Bridge St. "The goal of the clinic is to provide people access to good doctors," pharmacist Nasser Sallam told the Canadian Gazette on April 3. Nasser owns and operates Pharmasave Carleton Place, which opened its doors in June 2018. He works alongside his daughter, Nadine Sallam, a pharmacy assistant. Good Doctors Medical Clinic, headquartered in Toronto, has 55 locations across Ontario. Clinics close to Carleton Place include those in Kemptville, Nepean and Ottawa. "Patients connect with doctors in the Greater Toronto Area over a video link," Nasser explained. Services are covered with a valid Ontario Health Insurance Plane (OHIP) card. The walk-in clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and same-day appointments can be booked by calling 1888-818-3254. "It is good for people who do not have a family doctor, or they do not want to go to the emergency department for something small and wait up to five hours," Nasser said. The professionals at Good Doctors Medical Clinic service a variety of concerns: sinus cold, stomach flu, eye or ear infections, acute cough and arthritis, just to name a few. Too, the physicians do referrals and prescription refills for people without a doctor, and for a small fee

Whitmarsh said there is no new debt being considered in the budget with the exception of Victoria Street infrastructure and resurfacing project in the water and sewer budget. Whitmarsh said while there are always challenges when preparing the annual budget, this year Mississippi Mills is facing additional pressures. One of the biggest is the recent announcement the province will review the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF), from which
the municipality receives approximately $848,000 annually. There was some uncertainty about whether the funding would come through for 2019, but she has been informed it will remain status quo for this year. "(The fund) will be reviewed and in place for 2020. It's not clear yet what our impacts to the budgets in the future will be," she commented. The long-term financial plan, first approved in 2012 "needs a fulsome review," she stated. It will be undertaken this year as well as an update to the asset management plan, to come into accordance with provincial guidelines. It falls into the category with live See RESIDENTS, page 24

Residents had the chance to review the 2019 Mississippi Mills draft budget during a public meeting April 4 in council chambers. This year's budget, including both operations and capital, totals $22,079,692. In her presentation to the public, treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh indicated the budget was "developed based on a 2.5 per cent tax revenue increase, which was the forecasted direction in our long-term financial plan." She indicated half will come from new growth and the remainder from the existing tax base. Roads and public works makes up the largest portion of the capital expenditures ($6,184,905), taking up 54 per cent ($3,421,235). Recreation and curling follow with 32 per cent ($1,995,600). Capital projects set to go in 2019 include the 1.2 kilometres of paving on roads throughout the municipality, representing $1,939,235, as well as a total of $310,500 of gravel for roads in the Ramsay and Pakenham wards. This year, Shaw Bridge design and rehabilitation ($269,000) is also on the schedule. For parks and recreation, Gemmill, Mill Run and Riverfront parks will receive $592,000 in work and facility maintenance for Almonte Old Town Hall, daycare, library, fire, Pakenham garage and Ramsay storage shed amounts to $463,220. Council has already previously approved several 2019 capital expenditures, such as bunker gear for the Mississippi Mills Fire Department, all components of the Victoria Street infrastructure and resurfacing

frastructure needs, was announced March 18. According to a report by Guy Bourgon, director of roads and public works, those eligible can be road, bridge, air and marine projects, the municipality has no air and marine infrastructure, so road and bridge works were examined. Roads and bridges to be considered are those which have safety impacts. "We are fortunate in Mississippi Mills not to have a roadway which experiences significant collisions due to design, alignment or condition issues; however, this precludes us from submitting a road project for consideration," he stated. Consideration was given to Levi Bridge as it is the bridge requiring the most work and is in poor condition. The $1.1 million would be divided three ways with 50 per cent federal funding of $550,000, 33 per cent ($363,000) from the province and the municipality would cover the remaining $187,000 costs. The work would include a full replacement of the bridge at Concession 12, Pakenham, with improved alignment. It was originally constructed in 1950 and surpassed its useful life (60 years) in 2010. Applications are due May 14. The funding announcement is expected in the fall and if successful, Bourgon said the municipality is ready to proceed with the project in 2020.
Municipality of Mississippi Mills Photo Mississippi Mills council approved submitting the $1.1 million Levi Bridge replacement to the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The Pakenham bridge, pictured in 2017, was originally constructed in 1950. The deadline for completion of projects under ICIP is Oct. 31, 2026. Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille was impressed to see the municipality's efforts in repairing the 15 bridges it operates and maintains. "When I first came here, the bridges were in need of dire repair. Thirteen per cent of bridges were in good repair and now that number's up to I think 62 per cent," he said. "I think we're coming along with that part of our infrastructure plan. We're a community with a lot of bridges and we have to keep them up. Good stuff." Coun. Jan Maydan wondered why the Shaw Bridge, located at Concession 11, Pakenham, wasn't considered. "The Shaw Bridge is a much more minor repair," Bourgon stated. "We selected the bridge that would yield the greatest benefit if accepted for a grant." With other projects

needing funding, Coun. John Dalgity questioned why only one was being submitted. Bourgon noted underground pipe work didn't fall into the criteria and neither did any roads projects. "This is the last major bridge repair required. We looked at it primarily because other bridges are not as major, cost-wise," he said. Criteria to submit a bridge project requires the structure to have had an inspection in the last two years under the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual. Coun. Bev Holmes inquired if this had been done. "That's correct," answered Bourgon. "The last inspection was Aug. 8, 2017 and there will be more inspections done this year as part of our program." Mississippi Mills currently operates and maintains a total of 15 bridges and 11 large culverts.

JUST ASKING presents a local personality with 20 questions, giving Canadian Gazette readers in Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills an opportunity to learn something different about him or her. For this edition of JUST ASKING, this newspaper reached out to The Venerable Brian Kauk, the rector of St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place. His answers are below. If you were stranded on a desert island, what are two things you could not live without? KAUK: Fishing gear and a good book. Sure, a bible could be that book. As well, is it too much to hope for a cold beer? Oh, this would make three things. The fishing gear - definitely. What's your favourite thing to make for dinner? KAUK: Instant Pot macaroni and cheese. Who inspires you the most? KAUK: My parishioners.
If you could have dinner with anyone - dead or alive who would it be? KAUK: My mom. What would people be surprised to know you can do? KAUK: Show up early. I save that one for special occasions. What will you never eat again? KAUK: Liver. First celebrity crush? KAUK: Justine Bateman. What are you afraid of ? KAUK: Money (too much or too little). Are you a morning or a night person? KAUK: Both. Where is the worst place you could get stuck? KAUK: In traffic, when someone needs their priest. Favourite candy/snack? KAUK: Hot pepperoni sticks. Which coach of The Voice would you rather do a duet with: Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine or John Legend? KAUK: You have to find me first. Last item you purchased,

"The clinic will call the patient to follow up ... maybe another appointment is needed to explain a few things," Nasser said. "It will be with the same physician." Good Doctors Medical Clinic in Carleton Place works because of the strong collaboration between Nasser's team and the nurses and doctors in Toronto. Although prescriptions are sent to Pharmasave Carleton Place, patients can take them to the drugstore of their choice. "Feedback has been 100 per cent positive," Nasser said. "People are coming from not only Carleton Place but Almonte, Ashton and Beckwith." In the future, when things pick up, the local Good Doctors Medical Clinic will expand, with a full-time nurse practitioner on site, along with multiple consultation rooms and a separate walk-in clinic entrance off High Street. Renovations have already taken place. Pharmasave Carleton Place is the first drugstore Nasser has owned; however, he has worked as a pharmacist for 27 years with different companies, including Rexall Drugstore and Shoppers Drug Mart.

More and more shoppers began to join him, all letting their coats and sweaters fall
to reveal matching T-shirts with the fiery emblem for the Mudds' spring musical production, We Will Rock You. Actors and singers that span generations, from baby boomers to millennials, all united in song, which evolved flawlessly into a hip, rocking choreographed number. Many shoppers pulled See PRODUCTION, page 34

PROJECT NOTICE
Town of Carleton Place Schedule ‘A+’ Class Environmental Assessment Bridge Street Pumping Station and Forcemain Upgrades The Town of Carleton Place (the Town) plans to upgrade the Bridge Street Sewage Pumping Station and Forcemain to adequately service the existing and forecasted future growth within the pumping station’s sewer shed. The Bridge Street Sewage Pumping Station is located at 340 Bridge Street, and currently consists of two (2) submersible pumps installed in a concrete rectangular wet well. An adjacent building houses the electrical equipment, control panels and back-up diesel generator. As part of the proposed upgrades, the existing above-grade building will be upgraded with a new pre-fabricated building of the same dimensions on top of the existing building’s foundation. The existing wet well structure will be maintained, while all pumping equipment, pipes, hatches, ladders and platforms will be replaced to adequately service the expected future demands, as well as provide enhanced operator access. All electrical equipment will also be replaced, and a new exterior-mounted natural gas driven back-up generator will be installed to ensure that the pumping station continues to operate under emergency conditions. The existing 100 mm diameter forcemain, which runs from the Pumping Station to the intersection of Bridge Street and Townline Road will be de-commissioned, and replaced with a 150 mm diameter forcemain along the same route. This project is being carried out in accordance with the Terms of the Municipal Class Environment Assessment (Class EA) process, which is approved under the Environmental Assessment Act. Construction of the works is expected to take place during the summer and fall of 2019. By this notice, the public is advised of the Bridge Street Pumping Station and Forcemain Upgrades, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process. Any questions or concerns regarding the project should be directed to the following Municipal contact: Mr. Dave Young Director of Public Works Town of Carleton Place 175 Bridge Street Carleton Place, ON K7C 2V8 Facsimile: (613) 257-8170 Electronic-mail: dyoung@carletonplace.ca
There are a limited number of trees available. Trees will be provided on a first come first served basis and a limit of 2 trees per household. These trees are available ONLY to taxpayers of the Town of Carleton Place and must be planted within Town limits. Information sessions are open to the public for general information regarding tree planting and maintenance.

Mississippi Mills' newest council member, Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille, was given a warm welcome around the council table during his first council meeting April 2. Minnille was given a round of applause as he took his spot at the table. "I'd like to start off by first thanking the people that were in the process for picking deputy mayor," he said, referring to David Hinks, Steve Maynard, Jane TorRickey Minnille rance, Paul Watters and Philip Wood. "They put their name forward, they stood out in the public and everybody put their best face forward and I appreciate that." Minnille was appointed to the position March 28 in accordance to the council appointment process, which included candidate interviews on March 25 and selection on March 28 at Almonte Old Town Hall. It came down to a tie between former councillors Minnille and Watters, with acting clerk Jeanne Harfield drawing Minnille's name out of a basket. While he gets his feet wet in Mississippi Mills, Minnille said Coun. Denzil Ferguson, who has been filling in at Lanark County council, will continue in the role for "the first month or so." In a public statement March 29, Lowry said Minnille "brings a wide breadth of council experience and will offer a unique and valued point of view to council." "On behalf of council and staff, I would like to welcome Rickey to the municipal team. We are excited to work hand-inhand with Rickey for the betterment of our thriving and diverse municipality," she said. Lowry also thanked Hinks, Maynard, Torrance, Watters and Wood for "their commitment to our municipality by coming forward and demonstrating your willingness to step into the role of deputy mayor to serve all residents in our community."

RESIDENTS CONCERNED ABOUT PARKING, SAFETY Continued from page 6
Ruth and Brooke McNabb live immediately next door to Boulton House. They are opposed to the class two development permit application. Brooke was not at the COW meeting. "We both enjoy having a nice restaurant next door, and we think a waterfront patio is great, but we are concerned about this proposal," Ruth said. "To us, it feels like a company has bought a corner store with no parking, and the company wants to make it more like a Farm Boy or Independent Grocer." Explaining her analogy, "yes, it is still a retail store, and retail stores are permitted, but it will have a huge impact." The couple asked council to reject the class two development permit application. Instead, "we are asking staff to pursue the option of a maximum 60-seat patio, based on one egress, with a number of conditions," Ruth noted. During the meeting, council agreed to waive its procedural bylaw, allowing members of the audience with new information regarding the class two development permit application to speak. Brian Lahey of The Regional Group, which owns the Boulton House property, confirmed the residen-
tial apartment on the building's upper floor is remaining. Moreover, a row of trees and a six-foot privacy fence would be added along the patio and the McNabb family's property, acting as a buffer. "We do not intend to have large wedding events at the location," Lahey stated. "We do propose to allow marriage vows to be taken, but no party afterward." He added: "We do propose to allow photographs of a wedding party be taken by the water. We may have small weddings with a dinner party ... no dancing." Scribner, who also coowns The Grand Hotel/ Smith & Barrel in Carleton Place, claimed "there is so much misinformation ... Boulton House is not a wedding venue ... we are simply a restaurant that wants a beautiful patio." "It is probably the most beautiful setting you have in this town, and there is nothing I would like better than to see a bride and groom standing in front of it getting pictures taken at 4 or 5 p.m. in the afternoon before heading to The Grand Hotel for their wedding," he said. Mayor Doug Black wants to make Carleton Place a destination ... "the river is for everyone." He sees the expanded patio contributing to the economic viability of the restaurant. Deputy mayor Sean
Redmond understood the concerns of neighbours. He inquired about a sound barrier fence between the establishment and the McNabb family home. Too, he suggested no amplified music be added as a condition of the agreement. Coun. Toby Randall noted: "At some point we need to take a person's word. I live in the area ... three blocks away. I appreciate the concerns of neighbours. I hear a lot about community in this town, and at some point we have to start trusting people to do what they say." Tyler Duval, acting manager of developmental services recommended approving the class two development permit application, seeing the uses proposed are permitted and existing as per the town's development permit bylaw. In regards to parking, "there is no required parking for commercial uses in the downtown district, and one space for the upper residential unit is provided on the site plan," he stated. Moreover, Duval noted, "The town's parking bylaw will regulate any further concerns regarding onstreet parking." As a result of council's decision, town staff will now move forward with drafting a development permit agreement, in addition to issuing a development permit with conditions.

streaming and website updates, which will cost $110,000. "There are new regulations municipalities must follow and it relates to a phased-in approach for asset planning documents," Whitmarsh said. Resident Steve Maynard questioned Whitmarsh on the municipality's debt load, indicating at the end of 2018 it sat at $16.8 million but has risen to $22 million. "When I go through all the capital loans, it adds another $8 million to capital, so I would say we'll be $25 million in debt at the end of the
year." Whitmarsh disagreed, noting the municipality will pay off more than $1.1 million in principal from loans in 2019. She estimates there will be $23.3 million in long-term debt at the end of 2019. Maynard pressed on, noting he didn't know how the municipality could accrue no new debt in 2019, and claimed it was "misleading." "Your numbers don't match. Again, when I go through the budget package which council saw March 13, the long-term debt is said to be $14.7 million with nothing added in
2019 and then you say the debt at the end of 2019 is going to be $13.7 million. That's $10 million low, is it not?" he asked. "That's not correct, actually the water and sewer debt schedule in the package includes $2.4 million for Victoria Street," answered Whitmarsh. "The other debt you're referring to was for projects in 2018 that just hadn't been completed at the end and we just financed it at the last meeting. And also for the Stewart Community Centre (dasher boards), those are already included in the 2018 line because to me they were 2018 projects. So
there is no new debt for any new projects in 2019 added to the debt schedule." Water and sewer Director of roads and public works, Guy Bourgon, also made a presentation on the 2019 water and sewer budget that evening. The operating budget totals $3,543,282, but capital projects amount to $3,938,500. Bourgon noted big ticket items for water and sewer this year include the tender and construction of watermain and sewer replacements on Victoria Street ($2,401,000) water storage detailed design and environmental assessment
($336,500), Ottawa/Honeyborne watermain looping ($352,000), as well as $175,000 for the detailed design for Almonte's downtown core infrastructure renewal project. "There's a public information centre April 30 where we will have a consultant there presenting the 60 per cent design drawings and getting your feedback on them," Bourgon said of the Almonte downtown project. "This year, we will focus on Victoria Street and Concession 11A," he added, noting that the water and sewer budget "pays for itself" through water bill reve-

nue, bank financing and reserves. Resident Lorne Heslop wondered how the budget pays for itself when bank financing is used. "You're correct, water revenues don't pay for the costs of operating and capital," Whitmarsh answered. "The water and sewer budget is never fully funded from water bills alone. We determine the water billing after we've determined all the other areas." Both the municipal and water and sewer budgets are expected to come to the April 16 council meeting for final approval.
SELDOM USED, THE STRAP STILL STOOD TALL IN CLASSROOM EMERSON AND CECIL WERE WELL ACQUAINTED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
It hung on the side of Miss Crosby's desk where only the rows in the upper grades could see it. But those of us in Primer Book certainly knew it was there. Hanging from a cup hook, black as ink, and as long as a yard stick. It was the dreaded strap! Those uppity pupils from the school in Renfrew called it the cat of nine tails, but to us it was simply "the strap." It ranked right up there in respect like a stern look from Miss Crosby, or a slap on her desk with her ruler. The strap was a con-
stant reminder that we better toe the line, or we would pay dearly. Never once, was I ever in need of the strap. I was too much in awe of the teacher, and tried to be on my very best behaviour at all times. Aunt Lilly once called me Miss Goody Two-Shoes, the meaning of which escaped me entirely. My brothers Emerson and Cecil, however, were well acquainted with the strap, although it had little or no effect on their behaviour. In fact, when they had provoked Miss Crosby to the point where she had to resort to using it on their outstretched hand, it almost always brought snickers from everyone at
the Northcote School. For one thing, both boys stood a good six-feet tall, and Miss Crosby came to about the middle of their chests. So it was quite a rigmarole when she pointed to one of them to come to the front of the room, and hold out a hand. Since the hand was about level with her head, she had to take the little wood bench she used to wipe off the top of the blackboards and stand on it. One time, she almost lost her balance, and Cecil grabbed her arms just before she fell backwards, strap and all. Of course, she didn't have the heart to discipline him after that! By the time Miss Crosby got everything organized to administer the slap with the strap, the urgency would have long since passed, the rest of us
would be fighting to keep from laughing out loud, and she would order the offender back to his seat. By then her face would be beet red. I thought the strap was only meant for the boys at the Northcote School. Never once did I ever see Miss Crosby use it on any of us girls. Sadly, we weren't saved from sitting on the stool in the corner of the room at the front wearing the cone-shaped dunce cap, however. That wasn't because we were misbehaving. It was because we hadn't done our homework. Miss Crosby didn't believe in sending us to the corner if we didn't understand the lesson or made a mistake. It was simply used as a lesson in misbehaving. Only once did Cecil have
to go to the corner, and by the time he scrunched down on the little stool, his knees were up to his ears, and he was sent back to his desk with orders to write out some short sentence 50 times, which was really no punishment at all. It was obvious the chair and dunce cap weren't going to work with Cecil. The only other punishment handed out by Miss Crosby for misbehaving was not being allowed to go outside at recess. It seemed to me bad Marguirite spent more time in the school at recess than she did outside. She was a thorn in everyone's side, and we were all delighted when she was made to stay indoors. The strap, to me, was the most feared method of discipline at the Northcote School. Seldom used,
and only when Miss Crosby had been provoked beyond reason, it reminded me of one of the big black water snakes we sometimes saw in the Bonnechere River. And if you were unfortunate enough to be disciplined at school, there was a very good chance you paid dearly for the deed by a parent when you got home as well!

BROWN R. Wayne
Passed away peacefully at the Smiths Falls Hospital on Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at the age of 70. Beloved husband of Rita Brown. Loving father of Vance (Ginette), Aaron and Brandon (Heather). Cherished grandfather of Rigel, Pleiade, Carina, Ethan, Madeline, Addison, Caelan and Maeve. Wayne will be missed by his mother-in-law Francine, and siblings Jim (Joan), Jack (Ilene), Gary (Margaret), Debbie, Brian (Linda) and Aldena and by his brothers-in-law Mark (Mitzi), Ray and Scott (Diane) and sister-in-law Gina (Eric). Wayne was predeceased by his parents Lloyd and Edna and siblings Don, Joan, Wynn, Tom, Carol and Shirley. He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Funeral service in Celebration of Wayne’s life will take place at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St., Smiths Falls on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. In memory of Wayne, contributions may be made to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation https://uhkf.ca (formerly Kingston Regional Cancer Centre) would be appreciated.
Died peacefully at home after a 13-year journey with several different cancers. With family at her side and friends in her thoughts, she chose to leave this planet on Thursday April 4, 2019. Peggy leaves behind: Jeremy, her husband of almost 46 years, her son Andrew, his wife Shealah and their son Evan, her daughter Kate and her husband Murray Chidley, her sister Janet George, her brother George MacMillan, and his wife Siobhan Muldowney. Peggy is also survived by nieces and nephews who always appreciated her kindness, epitomized by gracious acts such as baking lemon meringue pie instead of ordinary banana birthday cake. Peggy was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec on November 25, 1950, where she lived until moving to the Quebec Labrador coast with Jeremy to teach and adventure in the early 1970s. After a few years they returned to the Eastern Townships of Quebec where she taught, farmed, gardened, and started a family. She was a leading light in the battle to keep local English libraries vibrant through the Parti Quebecois/referendum years of the late 70s and 80s. In the late 80s the family relocated to Brighton, Ontario and eventually settled in the Perth area, which became their long-term home. Peggy continued to teach and volunteer in the community for many years. Her family and friends can attest to her culinary talents (whether over campfire, wood stove, or gas range), her welcoming home, and her ability to win an argument (usually all in good fun or as mental exercise). Peggy referred to herself as a secular humanist, and her wit and intelligence was honed by an insatiable appetite for reading works of sci-fi, literature, non-fiction, poetry, and history. Her love of gardening and homesteading led to a market gardening business as well as volunteer work as a Certified Master Gardener. She had an enduring appreciation for nature and animals, and took great pleasure and solace in spending time near water; moonlit canoe paddles, early morning swims in calm lakes, or just sitting to watch the water and ‘come into the peace of the wild things’ (as Wendell Berry wrote). She was, in fact, a renaissance woman. The family wishes to thank all the people at the Perth hospital who were involved in Peggy’s care, including Doctors Last, Riehl, Del Grande, and Kuchinad, as well as Leslie Del Grande. Many thanks to the committed staff involved with MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) - a caring and sympathetic group providing medical expertise and comfort. Great thanks also goes to the staff and volunteers at the Perth Chemotherapy Clinic. Their care and kindness was beyond reproach. Family and friends were invited to a gathering to honour Peggy’s life held on Saturday April 6th, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M. in the Blair & Son Family Centre, 15 Gore St. West, Perth. At Peggy’s request, in lieu of flowers any donations in her memory should be directed to the Great War Memorial Foundation for Palliative Care.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com During the first warm and sunny day of spring 2019, the Carleton Place Home & Fashion Show was seeing a steady stream of consumers pour through the arena doors. There was lots to see and do at the annual event, including free candies, ballot contests, more than 100 vendors, live music and facepainting for the kids. Backyard upgrades were on the minds of many that April 5 to 7, even when some were still covered in three feet of snow
Derek Dunn/Metroland Clockwise from top: Taking a breather from the home-show bustle is Doug Foley of Hartington Equipment. The Perth Kubota dealer brought a few big-boy toys and working vehicles to the popular venue at Carleton Place Arena. Occupying a decent sized parcel at this year's Carleton Place Spring Home & Fashion Show was Ace Country & Garden. It makes you feel like spring is coming, said Mary Habraken-James, right. Along with Shelby Knight, the Almonte business had plenty of outdoor products to test and try out. Denis Hamelin is the salad master making salads and selling Saladmaster appliances.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if a certain person’s boastfulness is causing concern, you may need to speak up or simply avoid that person for the time being. He or she may just be blowing off steam. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, save yourself a lot of frustration and accept the way things are right now. Focus on the positives in your life and count your many blessings.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 The universe has an important lesson to teach you, Cancer. It involves giving up a little bit of control so you can benefit in unknown ways. This is challenging, but worth it.

PRODUCTION OPENS APRIL 26 out their phones to record the surprise performance. "That was crazy!" a spectator said at the end, clearly excited about witnessing the event. The whole thing was repeated at noon with an entirely different group of shoppers. The event was organized by Karen LaPointe, director of We Will Rock You, alongside Jeff and Joyce Mitchell of Mitchell's Independent. It actually took a couple of months of planning to make the few minutes look so effortless and spontaneous. Once the actual performance was over, then the internet phenomenon happened. Within an hour the various videos posted online were viewed hundreds of times, and by the next morning it was tens of thousands of times! It was featured on CTV Morning Live on Monday morning. The number, choreographed by Colleen Taylor, is part of a larger stage number from the show. We Will Rock You is a fictional story about a dystopian future, where a corporation runs the iPlanet and freedom of thought and self-expression is outlawed by the Killer Queen and her henchmen. A group of unlikely bohemians resist and rediscover, sometimes with hilarious misinterpretations, the ways of rockers of the past. It's an awesome story - witty and enjoyable. There's even a little romance thrown in. But the best thing about the show is what drives the narrative: the music of Queen. It's hard not to sing and dance along. Each song is spectacular, brought to fruition by the cast, musical director, Tracey Ahern, and a stellar rock band made up of Darren Boyd on lead guitar, Ian Guenette on keyboards, Terry Kirkpatrick on drums, and Howard Sonnenburg on bass. The April 6 event was the first flash mob in Carleton Place and the first for the Mississippi Mudds, but it was so much fun, the actors will happily participate in another one for another show in the future. So just when you least expect it, you may be serenaded by some of the most talented people in the Carleton Place area while you are purchasing your apples and oranges! The Mississippi Mudds presents We Will Rock You - the fictional musical with a score of the greatest hits from Queen from April 26 to May 4 at Carleton Place Town Hall.
