MERRICKVILLE SETS THE STAGE FOR COMMUNITIES IN BLOOM JUDGES PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Sixteen judges from around the world visited Merrickville-Wolford on July 24 to evaluate the village during the Communities in Bloom (CiB) challenge. Since achieving the title of Prettiest Village in Canada in 1999 through the provincial contest and receiving a score of five 'blooms,' Merrickville has participated in the national challenge three times now. "Our team works all year long to get things ready, educate members of the community, and work towards the goals that Communities in Bloom sets for us," said Hope Gray, a volunteer with the

village's CiB team. She explained that the judges look for six core characteristics in the community: tidiness, environmental action, urban forestry, landscape, floral displays, and heritage conservation. "A lot of people think that Communities in Bloom is just about having nice flowers and making things look tidy, but it's a lot more than looking nice," she said. On July 24, the judges took a walking tour through the village to see local assets surrounding the Rideau Canal, such as the ruins and Blockhouse Museum. The CiB team brought the judges to Mainstreet Restaurant for breakfast and to the Wick Witch and
Mrs. McGarrigle's for locally-made products. The CiB team also conducted a tree planting while the judges were in town. There are 31 other communities participating in the national challenge, including Madawaska Valley, Parc Jean-Drapeau (Quebec), and Edmonton (Alberta). "The Merrickville-Wolford Communities in Bloom team have worked really hard, all on a volunteer basis," said Gray. "It's a committed and wonderful group of volunteers." The group of roughly ten volunteers collaborate with the Merrickville & District Gardeners, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Lions Club Tulip

with all recreational amenities; soccer fields, baseball diamonds, a playground, nature trails, and even a music studio." Sturdy said with safety as the primary objective for the intersection improvement, traffic needs to slow down. The speed limit at this section of County Road 43 is currently 80 kilometres per hour. Transportation project manager with GHD civil engineering, Vanessa Skelton, said the intersection has been on her radar since November 2017, when a traffic study was conducted to determine whether the traffic levels were at the volume required for traffic signals. She said a roundabout would be more expensive upfront, but that it would save in "human cost" as there would be fewer collisions in the long run. The intersection improvement will be fully funded by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

A community consultation session was held by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and the Municipality of North Grenville on July 23 to hear the public's opinion on what kind of intersection improvement should be installed at County Road 43 and South Gower Drive (County Road 22). The options are roundabout or traffic light. A roundabout would call for new pedestrian crossings at all four entrances, the relocation of lights and hydro poles, and possibly, new property to accommodate the installation. The counties estimates this option would come with a cost of $1 to $1.2 million. The counties presented some of the advantages of the roundabout option, which would reduce vehicle speed and up to 71 per cent of collisions, lower maintenance and operating costs, allow for higher vehicle capacity, and cause less delays than signalized intersections. They also estimate
there would be an 82 per cent reduction in injuries. This is the recommended option, as statistics show a roundabout is best for safety, level of service, and traffic operations. For the traffic signal with turning lanes option, the advantages are improved traffic and road safety and improved intersection operations, as well as a reduction in collisions between 15 and 44 per cent. The price tag for this would be $700,000 to $900,000. The counties also highlighted some cons for the traffic light option: potential for delays and disobedience of traffic signals, and a longer pedestrian crossing distance with potential conflict with left turning vehicles. Local resident to the intersection, Jill Sturdy, said she hopes a roundabout will be installed, as well as a speed reduction put in place. "I would like to see a speed reduction to 60 kilometres on South Gower Drive from County Road 43 to the south entrance of South Gower Park," she said. "It is a well-used park

FORMER KEMPTVILLE RESIDENT TURNS LOVE OF ART INTO CAREER
insideottawavalley.com
Continued from page 1
san Wagner-White, a former resident of Kemptville, is as complex and intriguing as her artwork. It's easy to see how she puts so much of herself into each pen and ink drawing. Ethereally, it pours out of her and onto a blank slate as she sits in the sunlight at her drafting table. It's like she's in another universe, where she's fully capable and free; free to create what she feels and sees. She has everything she ever needed - a devoted partner, Rae, a new home, and her 'kids' - Chino, the blue merle chihuahua, 11; and Daisy, a Bichon mix, 10. Coming into the tribe soon will be a rag doll kitten with stunning blue eyes, named Precious. Her life, she says, is pretty amazing. "It's who I am," she said on a scorcher of a July day that she has graciously invited the journalist into her sacred, safe space. She is preparing for her first ever art show at the Studio Theatre in Perth. Prints of her work, framed, unframed, and on canvas, will be on display for the month of September. Bruce Raby, a volunteer at the theatre and curator of the artwork, said he's thrilled to have WagnerWhite's pieces on display. "Displaying the work of local artists is one of the ways that the theatre as a community theatre gives back to the community," he wrote in an email to the Perth Courier. "The gallery space provides an opportunity for artists to exhibit and hopefully sell their
work. As a minimum, it is an opportunity for exposure to the theatre's demographic group. In turn, the theatre charges a modest 10 per cent commission on art sold during the exhibition. Plus the theatre has wonderful works of art on display in the lobby area for patrons to look at while waiting to take their seats. So a win win for the artist and the theatre." It wasn't easy for Wagner-White to delve into art as a career, since it started in childhood as a hobby. The past half-dozen years she has really taken off and about 55 original pieces have been sold to people around the world. "It's my career now," she said. She draws for two to three hours before she breaks due to pain. Weekly massage therapy, medication and regular trips to her backyard hot tub help her cope with the pain. Her favourite time to work was at night, "because it was peaceful, and the city slept." Now she says, she's an early morning person, and zones in by listening to audio books. She breaks about every two hours and finds a comfy chair, where she may binge watch Netflix, "then I'll get back to it." She works for about five hours a day, five days a week. "Sometimes I'll take a break for a week, just to clear my mind." Her work is done by commission and she'll only book a few at a time. This self-taught artist with just high school art as a background and a few classes here and there, was
encouraged by friends to sell her work. A hummingbird piece was her first to fly - all the way to California. That was six years ago. The intricacy of pointillism is her trademark. Minuscule details are layered onto paper, sometimes under a lit magnifying glass. The work is so detailed it's hard to tell the difference from the original photograph. "I've heard from people that my pieces have more life than the (reference) pictures," she said. There is a lot of life in the animal eyes she creates - big cats, lizards, primates. The detailed eye is something she's honed. "It's like a whole universe is in there. It can propel you to a different stratosphere," she said. "I don't know if I'd be as detailed if I had longer arms." Wagner-White is a thalidomide survivor. Her mother took one thalidomide pill (known as Distaval) intended to cure morning sickness. Her mother was given two tablets of Distaval by her doctor in Perth after the drug was pulled off the market in Canada. The pill (she only took one) made her mother feel worse than the morning sickness had, WagnerWhite said. As a result, WagnerWhite was born with short arms, her hands at her shoulders. One hand has three fingers, the other, four. She was one of the lucky ones, she said. "Mom took one pill and it stopped the growth of my arms." Wagner-White also has

Prints of both pieces will be showcased through September at Studio Theatre in Perth. small veins, and blood tests are next to impossible to perform. Often, several painful attempts are made before a suitable sample can be retrieved from a vein in her groin. Wagner-White said she was one of three thalidomide babies born at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (Great War Memorial site in Perth) around the same time January 1963. She's been an advocate for thalidomide survivors over the years and said she's thankful for finally being compensated by the Canadian government - after 50-some years of fight-
ing for justice. She said she is now able to live comfortably, and enjoy her accessible home, complete with standup shower and fulllength body drier, a commode with an automatic lid, and washing and drying components. "I didn't know what life was supposed to be," she said. "I asked my mom, 'why me?' She said, Susan you will know your purpose in life. I feel I found it between my art, which brings great joy to others and to myself - and giving help to other thalidomiders around the world. If they have any questions, they can come to me. I hope
when I'm gone, people can look back and say I helped them." Wagner-White said she didn't think she'd ever get married. "I met Rae, and we meshed so well," she said. They've been together 12 years; married since 2012. "All my life, I didn't hide being gay," she said. "But I didn't scream it, either. I'm not that type." She said she was 16 when she came out to her mother. "It was a really rough time," she said. There may be a book one day. But finding Rae, and embracing her artistic talent, has enabled Wagner-White to live her best life.

The dining rooms at the Long Reach Bar & Grill are decorated with conversation pieces; antiques, old movie posters and sports memorabilia. 'Where good friends meet, and time stands still' is the restaurant's motto, where the charm of the family-run eatery that's been serving the community for 17 years keeps patrons coming back. The Tatarciuc family runs the establishment and they are always front and centre; from the moment Kristy welcomes her customers, to the delivery of a well-cooked meal from her brother Cory and their father Ed in the kitchen. You might catch their mother, Susan, gracing the bar and grill now and then to help out bussing tables or catch up with longtime customers. Known for their homemade breads, the Long Reach offers rye, white, whole wheat, multigrain, sourdough, and cinnamon
raisin varieties that are baked fresh daily. I always get the same thing when I visit, which I wholeheartedly consider the best hangover breakfast in town: The Long Reach with sunny side up eggs, sausage, rye toast, home fries, and a coffee. It's always quick, it's always exactly what I ordered, and it's cheap ($6!) Other breakfast bites include Canadian back bacon, turkey bacon, omelettes, egg sandwiches, and specialties like pancakes, cinnamon French toast, or eggs benedict. If you've never tried it before, you better get a breakfast poutine - home fries instead of French fries, cheddar cheese, and hollandaise sauce instead of gravy. Fair warning: Friends of mine who've ordered it can no longer do a Long Reach breakfast without it. Did I mention their breakfast menu is available all day? Aside from morning meals, the Long Reach also offers daily lunch specials

MPP, MINISTER GET INPUT FROM KEMPTVILLE SENIORS ON PROVINCIAL STRATEGY The Ontario government is working to develop a Seniors Strategy to help address the challenges seniors face in accessing the services they need to support their safety, mental and physical health and well-being. As part of that initiative, Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark welcomed the Hon. Raymond Cho, Minister for Seniors and Accessibility, to Kemptville July 17 for a roundtable discussion with local seniors and the organizations that support them. "I'm so pleased to have Minister Cho at Kemptville and District Home Support (KDHS) to hear directly from our local seniors, caregivers and support or-
ganizations about what's important to them," said Clark. "Hearing their feedback will help our government ensure that seniors in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes have the programs and supports they need to remain active in age-friendly communities." "Supporting our seniors is about investing in our own futures - everyone should be able to age strong, in an Ontario that is open to all," said Cho. "We are moving forward with our commitment to develop a cross-government strategy to do what's right for Ontario's aging population, while growing jobs and the economy." Clark noted seniors are the fastest-growing demo-
graphic in our province. Current estimates predict that the seniors population will grow to over three million by 2023 - that's about 400,000 more seniors than today. This fundamental change in Ontario's demographics means new challenges and new opportunities for the province. Cho and Clark also attended KDHS' weekly seniors' luncheon prior to the roundtable. "We are very pleased that Minister Cho and MPP Clark were able to join us at our seniors Diners' Club. Many thanks for this opportunity and it was very thoughtful of them to consider our area of responsibility as an important part of overall discussions for improved seniors' living," said Bill Forbes, president of the KDHS board of directors. The government has been holding consultations across the province and Clark said he was honoured to have Cho participate in the local discussion.

engaged; stay safe and secure; and participate in the labour market and economy. The government expects to announce the govern-

Now is the time of year when homeowners may see more bats than usual, and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit offers advice to keep family and pets safe against rabies, histoplasmosis, distacemper and mange. These nocturnal animals feed most actively two or three hours following sunset. They are efficient insect controllers eating about three times their body weight. Bats typically have their babies in June and come August many of the young bats are looking for their own roosting sites. Many bats will roost and hibernate in attics. Although bats are beneficial, they can carry diseases as listed above. Approximately three per cent of bats carry the rabies virus. The most common signs of rabies in bats are the inability to fly and resting in unusual places such as the ground or floor. It is important to remember many of the bats that get into our homes are healthy bats and are looking for a way out. If you find a bat in your home and are sure that there was no human or animal contact, try to confine the bat to one room by closing the door of the room. Open a window or door to the outside and then turn out the lights; the bat should fly out early in the evening. Be sure to wear gloves and other protective clothing when dealing with a bat. If you are bitten, or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or a wound, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately. Should you find a bat in your home and are unsure if it has bitten a family member, contact your health care provider and the health unit to determine if treatment is required. Prior to calling though, check for fresh bites and scratches that may be a result of contact with the bat. Bat proofing your house is necessary when they get inside your living space. It is advisable to contact a pest management company or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance with bat-proofing. To protect pets from rabies it is important to vaccinate them. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in Ontario for domestic cats and dogs. The health unit, in partnership with local veterinarians and municipalities, will be holding the annual rabies clinics Sept. 18 and 25. The cost is $20 each. Visit http://healthunit.org/ clinics-classes/rabies-clinic/ to find out when clinics are available near you.

THE LAZY DOG OWNER'S GUIDE TO LIFE DIANA FISHER MUSES ABOUT RAISING A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
bed in the middle of the night at the first sound of a whimper, running him outside and plunking him into the grass with a "Miso; Unko." I read in a puppy training book that if you teach the dog those Japanese terms (likely spelled incorrectly) when he relieves himself, pretty soon you will have him going on command - and no one will be the wiser (unless they speak Japanese). I ran him outside a few times a night for the first several weeks of his residency at the farm. Puppies sleep a great deal, but as summer wound into fall and the days got cooler, Ferg soon revealed his true nature. He gave up napping altogether and switched to high energy activities like running full out after a ball, and destroying every toy he could find. He wasn't a bad dog; he just had to try to destroy every chew toy he was presented. Eventually the hard rubber "Chuckit!" balls were the only things he couldn't (or didn't) destroy. And that's a good thing, because those balls are his life. On Ferg's hierarchy of needs, the Chuckit! ball is on the very top. Mina from Norway came to live with us when Ferg was just four months old. It was Mina who taught Ferg that after you catch the ball, you must return it to the human if you want it to be thrown again. Over the winter, as Ferg grew out of his puppy stage and began to show he needed exercise after a
long day in the house, I developed a lazy habit. I opened the door to the porch, put the ball in the pitching arm, and chucked it out into the backyard. Ferg leapt off the porch and bounded through the snow, sniffing for the ball. Nine times out of 10, he found it. And while he was looking, he was getting a lot of exercise. I was in the house, sipping my coffee and watching with fascination from the window as he left zigzag tunnels through the snow around the yard. Now another year and a half later, Ferg is still a naturally lean dog who prefers to eat his meals after a good round of Chuckit! ball. I'm quite proud of my lazy self for inventing this game, because it means I can exercise the dog in any weather, even when I'm busy making dinner, doing the dishes or folding laundry. Ferg taps on the door, I open it and chuck the ball. Repeat. When Ferg has had enough and needs a break, he still brings the ball to me but when I go to pick it up where he has dropped it at my feet, he swoops down and snatches it away from my hand. I take credit for inventing this game that has saved me from trying to find time to walk a dog but maybe it's the dog who trained me to throw the ball. I thing golden retrievers are actually quite smart, after all. Mine might actually be brilliant. Diana Leeson Fisher is a regular columnist who grew up in the small town of Kemptville.

When my husband retired from teaching and went into real estate full time, we decided to get him a dog. He wanted a golden retriever, because he knew a few people with that breed and he had always wanted one. He said he could imagine himself driving out to list and show houses, his pooch riding shotgun. I did a bit of research and discovered that, while goldens are known to be affectionate and loyal, sometimes they can leave a bit to be desired in the intelligence department. The key was to train them up from a pup - so that meant we should probably get one from a breeder as opposed to adopting an older dog from a shelter. Well it turns out that goldens are pretty popular, so they are rarely found in a shelter anyway. I signed up with the Golden Rescue network but again, most of their dogs were adults - with special needs and not-so-great habits. Some weren't fond of children, while others did not do well with other dogs. We went ahead and found a breeder near Arnprior, and in May 2017, a little red runt named Fergus came home with us. This was meant to be my husband's dog, but who are we kidding? I have done the bulk of the care, feeding and training of this fella since he arrived. When Ferg was tiny, he slept in his crate at the end of our bed. It was I who scooped him up out of his

THERE WAS NO ARGUING WITH MOTHER WHEN A STORM WAS BREWING IT WAS ALWAYS A PRODUCTION DURING A THUNDERSTORM, MARY COOK WRITES MARY COOK Column
All mother needed to hear was the far-away rumble of thunder, and she went right into action, preparing us for survival. She was sure it wasn't a case of IF the house was going to be struck with lightening, but WHEN. On that blistering hot day, the only thing different when we heard the thunder off in the distance, was that Aunt Vanetta was visiting us from Ottawa, and she was sure a match for Mother when it came to storms. The sky had darkened, the sounds of thunder were
A
getting closer and lightening was flashing, brightening up the kitchen. So that meant the first order of business was pulling down the green blinds, and lighting the coal oil lamp on the pine table. Of course, we five children had been herded into the house with the first peel of thunder, and Father, knowing full well what was happening inside, had vanished into the barn. We weren't allowed to sit anywhere near a window, so we were all in a huddle in the centre of the kitchen sitting like we were ready to play 'musical chairs'. And everyone had to wear rubber-soled running shoes. Of course, neither Audrey nor I owned running shoes, so there we sat
with our feet in shoes that belonged to our brothers. It didn't matter, as long as they had rubber soles, which Mother was sure would save us from a lightening strike. Aunt Vanetta had her Rosary beads in her hand, and a small bottle that looked exactly like the bottles Mother bought from the Raleigh man that held vanilla. We knew it was full of holy water, having been blessed at the Catholic church in Ottawa. Because Mother was so frightened, that's all it took for me to cringe and sit so close to my sister Audrey that she told me she couldn't breathe, and I had to huddle in my own chair, waiting for the lightening to strike our house, which I was sure would happen any minute. The heat in the kitchen was enough to suffocate us,
TOXIC
DECISION?
but there we would have to sit until the peel of thunder was so faint, the storm sounded like it had moved off to another country. Before Aunt Vanetta settled down in a chair in the middle of the kitchen, she took the little vial of holy water and tossed a few drops in the general direction of the windows and the tightly closed door. I had no idea how that would prevent a lightening strike, but it sure made me feel better. Every time the thunder roared, Aunt Vanetta and Mother would cross themselves. Emerson, under his breath, said, "They're a little late, the clap of thunder only comes after the lightening" . My brothers thought the whole idea was sheer nonsense anyway. They would much rather have waited out the storm in the barn with Fa-
ther. At least they could play in the hay mow. But Mother wanted everyone in the house, and that's all there was too it. No arguing with Mother when there was a storm brewing. Mother always said thunder storms were worse in the country than they were in New York City. She said she felt safe amongst the tall buildings, all of which had spikes of lightening rods sticking out of their roofs. She also vowed that as soon as she could gather enough egg money, she was having the same rods put on the roof our house. Or course, that never happened. And so we sat out the storms, as Mother said, 'like sitting ducks', whatever that meant. As soon as the thunder was so faint, you could hardly hear it, Mother rolled up the blinds, threw
open the kitchen door, and blew out the lamp on the table. Aunt Vanetta had taken her bottle of holy water upstairs to the bedroom, and the whole house settled down. The running shoes were put back under the bench at the back door, and the brothers headed outside. As for me, I was grateful the storm hit in the daytime. When one came through the night, everyone had to get out of bed, get dressed, and go through the same routine of sitting in the middle of the kitchen wearing rubber soled shoes. That is, except Father, who slept through every night storm, sure that the old log house which had stood for generations wasn't about to go anywhere because of a bit of rain and thunder.

FIRST CORNERSTONE LANDING TINY HOME UNVEILED IN PERTH DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com
Desmond Devoy/Torstar Above: As Mayor John Fenik, left, and Cornerstone Landing Youth Services board member Shirley Kelford, right, hold the ribbon, Cornerstone Landing's board chair Terrilee Kelford officially cuts the ribbon for the new tiny home at Algonquin College's Perth campus on Wednesday, July 24. Right: Perth's town crier, Brent McLaren, left, chats with local media personality Hugh Colton, right, in the kitchen of the new tiny home during the unveiling . outside in the winter weather in Lanark County. Three people alone were believed to be sleeping out in the woods near the Bethel Pentecostal Church on the edge of Smiths Falls.
EXCEEDS CODE "Everything above the trailer 100 per cent meets the building code - in fact it exceeds it," said architect Gordon Graff. "This is a movable structure ...(but) it is a very rigid structure," much like a traditional house. It even has tiedowns that would help it withstand, say, a hurricane. "In the building code, there is a perception that ... 508-square-feet is the minimum that the Ontario Building Code would allow," he said. "There is a clause that is very visible in there that states that if your living and kitchen space is combined, that your minimum square footage can be quite small," he said. (Kelford jumped in to say that she believed it to be 143-square-feet.) Jason Takerer, who worked on the project as an energy efficiency consultant, said that quite a few municipalities have restrictions against trailers and trailer parks. "When most municipal-
ities see this structure, the bells go off: 'Oh, this is a mobile home,'" Takerer said, which they are not. (Kelford said earlier that she had had municipalities tell her that "I do not want trailer parks in my township," she recalled.) Along with NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard), he warned that "there might be regulatory barriers and policy barriers in place for municipalities that prevent this." There are also concerns about the waste generated from this kind of home too, he noted. This type of tiny house would require its own septic system, he said. However, "we overcame this barriers, to a large degree. We fleshed those details out." Another challenge that Takerer sees is one of perception, that these houses are too small to live in. "It's just not so," he insisted. "These projects are the early adopters that push through and pave the way for an affordable housing solution for all of us."
A BUILD
Yuergen Beck, president of Redwood Homes 1000 Islands Ltd. "We definitely learned some things that will be easier next time." On this particular build, "there were a lot of things that you had to think six
...going the
steps ahead." Beck reiterated what Graff had said earlier about these tiny homes exceeding the building code. "If anybody ever says to you this is like a mobile home, it's absolutely not. This is well beyond minimum building code standards. It was a lot more detailed and meticulous and
well-built than your conventional boxed house," said Beck. Overall, "it was a great project." "Now that it's here ... everything becomes real, a bit more tangible," said Christopher Hahn, the dean of Algonquin College's Perth campus. "There is a multiplier effect."

Forget go big or go home, now it's go small and call it your home. As part of a collaboration between Cornerstone Landing Youth Services and Algonquin College's Perth campus, the first tiny home for at-risk youth was unveiled on Wednesday, July 24. "This project has been about three years in the making," said Cornerstone's board chair, Terrilee Kelford, at Perth campus. "So glad it's done." Now, it's a matter of getting it, "literally on the ground." Already, "someone has offered to put it on their land," in a rural township. "My goal is to have it on the ground before the first snow," she said. Kelford admitted that "I teared up when I saw it for the first time," she recalled of the finished home, and that she may do so again when she hands over the keys to a youth in need of shelter. The tiny home cost about $78,000 to build, and the trailer cost $5,200 $20,533.61 through fundraising, $32,767.41 in donations, and $30,000 from Algonquin College, Perth. "I would ideally like to have at least one (tiny home) in each town," in the county, including Perth, Smiths Falls, and Carleton Place. "I want these everywhere." She also envisions a village of slightly bigger tiny homes, which are accessible, "at least four or five," on a lot, which can be used for long-term affordable housing. The idea came to her about three years ago, as she drew her idea on a napkin at her parent's home. She stressed that there is a desperate need for housing. Between January and March of this year, there were 12 people sleeping

MATTHEWS, John Edmund December 1, 1942 - July 22, 2019 John Matthews passed away early Monday July 22, 2019. He leaves behind his devoted wife Pierrette, their son together, Justin Matthews and his four children Christa Matthews (Hanna), Matthew Dickson, Tamara Woods (Matthews) and Elizabeth Matthews. He is survived by his nine grandchildren and his brothers Wilmot, Robert and Don. He was predeceased by his sister Jennifer Connolly. John was an artist, with an eye for architecture, design and a great appreciation for nature. His love for travel took him around the globe, traveling throughout North America, Europe, India, South East Asia and Australia. He attended Mount Allison University, where he studied under esteemed artists such as Alex Colville. After graduating from The Art Students League in New York City in the 60’s, he was accepted to apprentice with Henry Moore in England where he was greatly inspired and would continue creating sculptures very reminiscent of Moore. John owned an historic farm and mill, Allan’s Mill, just west of Perth, Ontario, where he lovingly spent much of his adult life with his family and his dogs. His studio, in the beautifully restored mill was a place of much inspiration, where many of his creative sculptures were born. A great admiration for stone developed while restoring his home, it’s surrounding buildings and others. This included a building in the heritage town of Perth, for which he won the Heritage Canada Regional Award. John received many significant commissions in his lifetime. He was awarded by his Excellency Roland Michener to create the Michener Award for Journalism, commissioned by Dr. R.H. Hubbard, chief curator of the National Gallery of Canada. John designed a ceremonial mace for the Royal Society of Canada, commissioned by Her Excellency Mme. Jules Léger, which serves as a medal awarded annually by Heritage Canada. John was also commissioned by Governor General Schreyer to design an award for the Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada. Beyond the accolades, he will be remembered for his love of family, heritage, history, art and nature. Diagnosed with early onset dementia, John lived with the decline of this disease for 16 years. May he now find peace. Friends and family are invited to a Visitation on Thursday, August 1, 2019 at Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (280 Beechwood Ave.) between 11:30 am to 1 p.m., followed by a Memorial Service and light luncheon.

All endings are also beginnings. Lost love is still love - it takes a different form. Memory becomes you partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life on earth ends. Love doesn’t. Marlene, Darlene and David, Brittany and Brooke.
Donald Ivan Lashley September 7, 1929 - July 28, 1994 “Love is eternal” In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle. “Forever in our hearts, always on our minds. Together again we will be, all in God’s time. Heaven gained another angel the day you left.” These past 25 years, we have truly missed the gift of your wisdom and the joy of life you had for all our family, young and old. You were an incredible gentleman, role model and teacher, who held a great compassion for others, especially your students and young people. Dad, you are forever young and forever loved and missed, and we hope you are enjoying a dance with Mom. Always remembered with love. ~Your children, David, Sheryn, Wayne and Karen. SADLER, Iva Margaret In loving memory of a dear Mother and Grandmother who passed away August 2, 1988. Someday we hope to meet you, Someday, we know not when. We shall meet in a better land And never part again. ~Lovingly remembered by the family.
THOM, William “Bill” August 7, 2017
We thought of you today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the day before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, All we have are memories, And a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, In which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. -
Always in our thoughts and sadly missed Love you forever Audrey Becky, Jen, Jeff and families BRYAN, Leonard August 3, 2018 In loving memory of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Sadly missed along life’s way, Quietly remembered every day. No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts you’re always there. Missed and loved, ~ Dave, Jackie and grandchildren

BOLGER, Howard 1922-2009 In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, and great grandfather who passed away August 6, 2009. For someone who meant so much And loved by all who knew Who left behind a trail of tears And precious memories too. We loved the sunshine in his smile And kindness in his heart, But Heaven saw that he was tired Which meant we had to part. And now as we remember him today Dear angels hear our prayer, Please guard him With your gentle wings And tend him with great care, For he was someone wonderful And words just can’t convey How much we wish that he was here Once more with us today. Missing your smile, your voice, your sense of humour, your wit, your way of making everything better.... Mostly missing you. Forever loved and missed by Brian, Judy, Connie and families.

THANK YOU FROM THE ZIEBARTH’S FAMILY In memory of Olive Elsie Ziebarth (nee Smithson) The family of the late Ollie Ziebarth wish to express their deep appreciation to all of you who have offered such kindness, much needed support, thoughtful messages of sympathy, and comforting food and flowers in our bereavement. We wish to acknowledge those who provided wonderful care for Mom in her final years: Dr. John Kiskis who was her loyal doctor for over 40 years, the friendly staff at the Arnprior Villa where Mom resided for the past four years, and the compassionate staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital who provided Mom with palliative care. Mom most certainly would have approved of her upbeat and positive funeral service at St. Andrew’s United in Pakenham, which was her church for over 72 years. The joyous musical tribute celebrated a life well lived. Pianist barb Armstrong accompanied the impressive local choir in an outstanding performance. Ollie’s grandson Jason Finner delivered a delightful eulogy touching on many meaningful memories. Beth Portt (nee Machan) from “Cashmere and Rose” created a beautiful flower arrangement for the funeral with additional flowers supplied by Marilyn Snedden for the church. C.R. Gamble Funeral Home provided their expertise, going above and beyond to ensure that all the key details were handled with care. Also thanks to Sharleen Duncan and the volunteer staff at St. Andrew’s, who served a delicious luncheon after the service. A very special thank you goes to Reverend Heather Kincaid, whose loving friendship with Mom shone through in her sincere funeral service. her sense of humour, pronounced spirituality, strong faith, and wise words were appreciated by all. It was a perfect day. Carolyn Finner, Bev O’Callaghan, Donna Grose, and Cal Ziebarth
The family of the late Valma Bolger would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to relatives, friends and neighbours for messages of sympathy, flora tributes, food, cards and charitable donations in memory of our dear and cherished Mother. Special thanks to Reverend Bennett for his many acts of kindness and words of comfort, which helped us cope with our great loss. A big thank you to Barry Munro and Judy Moffatt for singing at our Mother’s funeral service. it made such a positive difference to our day and was very moving. To Reg and Josh Gamble and the staff of C.R. Gamble Funeral Home for the professionalism and kindness to us. Special thanks to the pallbearers and all family and friends for their tremendous support during this difficult time. A sincere thank you to the management, nurses, staff and volunteers at Fairview Manor for their compassion and for taking excellent care of our Mom. Valma considered her family and friends to be the most treasured part of her life. She will be missed dearly by all of those who knew her. With many thanks, Brian, Judy Connie and families.
