HUMAN TRAFFICKING ON THE RISE IN LEEDS AND GRENVILLE PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com
THE ISSUE. HUMAN TRAFFICKING LOCAL IMPACT: NORTH GRENVILLE BEING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OTTAWA AND MAJOR HIGHWAYS SUCH AS THE 401 AND 416 POSITION THE COMMUNITY AT A HIGHER RISK FOR POTENTIAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS TO BE TARGETED
It's something that no one wants to believe is happening in their community, but human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes in Canada, and it happens here in North Grenville. In fact, it's on the rise in Leeds and Grenville. At a seminar on human trafficking held at the Kemptville Christian Reformed Church on March 4, representatives from Victim Services of Leeds and Grenville and Grenville County OPP presented some startling statistics. The most predominant age group for human trafficking is among youth aged 15-24, and those victims can make their trafficker up to $1,000 a day. Executive director at Victim Services of Leeds and Grenville, Sonya Jodoin, said human trafficking is often described as modern-day labour, though there are many
forms. Human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, harbouring, and/or exercising control, direction or influence in order to exploit that person, typically through sexual exploitation or forced labour.
"In 2007, the human trafficking industry generated over $32 billion in one year; more than Nike, Google, and Starbucks generated combined," said Jodoin. "It's right up near the top in terms of being one of the most profitable illegal businesses that are out there." In a small community like North Grenville, potential victims are even easier for traffickers to target. "One of the problems in smaller communities is that we have this image of human trafficking that involves people being brought into Canada from another country or being moved around all over the place," she said, "and that does happen, but we have some major highways in Leeds and Grenville; the 401 and the 416, and there is a lot of traffic that's going up and down those highways, and human trafficking victims are being transported every day."
Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland OPP Community Safety Officer Const. Annie Collins speaks at the human trafficking seminar in Kemptville March 4. Jodoin clarified the difference between a human trafficking victim and a sex worker, which is that a sex worker has choice. "They can choose whether to sell themselves or not, they can choose for how much, and they can choose to take a day off," she said. "They keep the money they make, they choose whether to go somewhere or not, and the
trafficking victim cannot." Despite the common belief that there's less of a risk for human trafficking with in a stable family unit, Jodoin said all of the human trafficking victims that Victim Services has worked with had two parents in the home when they were lured into the industry. Youth who identify as
LGBTQ2+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirited, etc.) and Aboriginal youth populations are at a higher risk than others to be targeted. Jodoin talked about how hard it is to identify a human trafficker, as some female victims who've been with their trafficker for a See YOUTH, page 5

"If things look like we're going to overspend in one area, the collection area may suffer ... It's crucial that you're offering people the resources they want and great new resources." Mulkins pointed out NGPL's collections budget has remained stagnant since 2014. "You'll see in 2014 it was almost $36,000 and now almost five years later, we're at $40,000 and we're not even keeping up, especially in the electronic costs as Rachel already indicated," she stated. " ... It's something, in future, that we're going to have to look at." The largest amount of funding that keeps the NGPL going is the municipal grant, Brown noted, as See PROVINCIAL, page 6

The good news is people are using the North Grenville Public Library (NGPL), but according to its chief executive officer, funding to offer the programs and services continues to be a challenge. Rachel Brown was joined by NGPL board chair Beverley Mulkins when she appeared at the Feb. 19 North Grenville committee of the whole meeting to present the library's draft budget for 2019. According to Brown, provincial funding has remained the same for the library 1997 and as salaries continue to rise along with the demand for ebooks and the latest technology, she said these are real concerns for 2019. The overall budget reflects a 2.18 per cent increase but Brown and staff are vigilant in try-
ing to keep costs down. "Our circulation goes up every year. This past year there were over 104,000 items circulated, so that's a 6.3 per cent increase per resident of the municipality if we look at the 2016 population numbers," she said. "We've seen an increase in our ebooks as well. Those go up every year. A lot of people now just do their business on their mobile devices at home, so that's about 20 per cent of our circulation." Ebooks are a particular area where the NGPL struggles, due to their rising costs. Brown said they pool resources together with other area libraries to keep purchase costs down, but the prices will only continue to increase, as is the case with collections and services. "We need to be supplying people with the books, the electronic resources, the multimedia, which is

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland A seminar on human trafficking was held at the Kemptville Christian Reformed Church on March 4. Here, youth services co-ordinator Sarah Dodgson (left) and executive director Sonya Jodoin from Victim Services answer questions from the public at the seminar.
YOUTH AGED 15-24 TARGETED Continued from page 2
STATISTICS • An estimated 16,000 Canadians are being trafficked in Canada • 91 per cent of trafficked persons in Canada are from Canada, and 98 per cent are women • 71 per cent involve domestic sex trafficking, with 90 per cent of those people being female • 63 per cent are between the ages of 15 and 24 • Youth as young as 11 are being recruited According to Statistics Canada In Ontario, two thirds (66 per cent) of human trafficking offences reported by police between 2009 and 2016 were reported in Ontario, and over one in ten (14 per cent) incidents were reported in Quebec. In 2016, the rate of human trafficking in Ontario was more than one and a half times the national rate, and more than double the rate of Alberta and Quebec. "It's very easy to assume it's not happening here, but unfortunately, it is," said Jodoin. "I can tell you with all honesty that it is happening here and it's something that, the more we know and the more we work together, the better
off we're all going to be." Youth services co-ordinator, Sarah Dodgson, said she recently visited local schools with Collins to educate youth on online safety and human trafficking through social media. One of the biggest questions that she asked the students about social media was, how many of them have one person that they don't know online, and everyone's hands went up. When she asked how many of them had 20 people that they don't know online, their hands were still up. Then she asked if any of them had 100 people online that they don't know, and 80 per cent of the kids' hands remained in the air. "It's definitely a cause for concern, and it's really important to acknowledge that," Dodgson said. Orillia OPP Const. Cynthia Savard said the best defence is at the prevention level, through raising awareness and educating young women. Kemptville resident Sami Kutowy asked if young men and boys are also being educated on the issue, to which a local school board representative said they are being spoken to about healthy relationships.

while will be 'promoted' to the position of the recruiter, bringing in more victims themselves. This type of promotion could be treated as a reward for their loyalty, and as it's arguably preferred compared to doing the work themselves, the victim is more likely to agree to it. This benefits the trafficker on many levels, as it places another person in between them and the new victim, further controls the recruiter, and makes recruiting easier with a less suspicious face doing the recruiting. "They don't really have a choice, and I think that's important to keep in mind," she said. "Still being sold for sex, but they don't have to do it as much as long as they're recruiting victims. It's important for us to see them as human trafficking victims, even though it might not look like that on the surface." Lots of times you'll see a female and a male arrested for human trafficking, and sometimes that female is a recruiter, but they're also a female trafficking victim that has been put in that position. North Grenville's Community Safety Officer, Const. Annie Collins said luckily, there are a lot more resources now to keep victims and potential victims safe. "We're told that the most important interaction with victims is their first interaction with the police.
We're being asked to make sure that they have options and resources," she said. "The OPP's policy is safety first, above all else - we look at charges later."

the municipality operates the facility. Other pieces include a City of Ottawa grant ($4,300) where the library receives a per household reimbursement for patrons living on the shared boarder between the two municipalities. Brown said the library is seeking a modest in-
crease of $10,000 to its municipal grant funding this year. According to the draft 2019 operations budget, the municipality spent $53,698 on the library in 2018, not including capital expenses, which are to be presented March 6. "This year we're looking at, at least in this iteration of the budget, an additional $10,000 in that
municipal grant," she outlined. "You can look at previous years; it's gone up fairly steadily at a rate of about $20,000 a year. Our ask was moderate this year. I think it was modest because we were aware there was a real appetite to keep it down." Staffing is an area where there is little control, Brown stated.
Staff salaries (two full-time and eight part-time) and benefits reflect a two per cent cost of living increase for 2019, but the budget doesn't include results of the recent compensation review exercise conducted on the library. The results were received in January after the draft budget had been submitted.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #1 Class Environmental Assessment and Preliminary Design Highway 416 and County Road 43 Ramp Terminal Intersection Improvements GWP 4129-18-00 STUDY OVERVIEW The Ministry of Transportation, Ontario (MTO) retained Dillon Consulting Limited to complete the Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for intersection improvements at the east and west ramp terminals of Highway 416 and County Road 43 located in the Municipality of North Grenville, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. The majority of work is anticipated to occur within the existing MTO right-of-way. As part of the study, impacts associated with the proposed improvements will be assessed, including impacts to the natural environment and traffic management during construction. Please visit the project website at www.Hwy416-CR43.ca for more information.

"This (draft budget) was done in December and when I look at that, it's not even a $7,000 difference ... and since then in the last couple weeks we've gotten the results of our compensation review which has some recommendations for pay levels," she said. "I don't know what I'm asking for here except maybe the opportunity to revisit this line and maybe adjust it." North Grenville's director of finance, Marcus Hewitt, said any changes that may arise from the compensation review will be reflected in the final library budget. For all the challenges, the NGPL continues to see a surge in popularity. Brown said numbers are up for regular users and children's programming and the library has a dedicated pool of volunteers and partner groups and organizations that provide benefit. Programming costs have been kept down due to the efforts of staff. Mayor Nancy Peckford inquired whether the library has received requests to open on Sundays, "given the evolving nature of the community and the number of families moving in who are commuters themselves and may not have the opportunity to use the library during the week." Brown said a few comments have been received, but the reason it wasn't explored was due to staffing costs.

LEARNING FROM OUR PAST TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE DIANA FISHER MUSES ON THE NEED TO ADAPT BUSINESS TO SUIT RESIDENTS' NEEDS DIANA FISHER Column
The other night I was early for tap class so I did what I often do when I'm in town and I need to kill time - I headed to the Score thrift shop to see if they had any new puzzles or books for my granddaughter. It was nearly 7 p.m. and the place was packed. This is one local business that is thriving, based on a current trend: that of recycling and upcycling items that people no longer need, or that didn't sell elsewhere. It's a cost-effective, responsible way of shopping that is easier on the environment by reducing waste. This business has also embraced the idea of staying open later on weeknights so that commuters can shop. I was reminded of a story about the way business used to be conducted on a weekday evening in downtown Kemptville. Jean Newans is a local historian. She wrote a series of books about what life was life in the Kemptville area over the past 80 years or so - and some of the stories are quite fascinating. Eleven years ago, I wrote a column called "Downtown Kemptville, Wednesday Night": "I remember waking up at midnight my first night in Taiwan, wondering who the heck was yelling out-
side my window. I had my fan on, of course (it was 30 degrees at night and that first apartment was devoid of air conditioning) but I could clearly make out the sounds of small children giggling and hollering in the night. "I wondered what kind of irresponsible, neglectful parents would allow their youngsters to be outside at 12 on a weeknight? I pulled the curtain aside and noticed a small but steady stream of families, parents holding the hands of their young, walking down the alley outside my window. They all seemed to be carrying shopping bags of goods. Some of the children were eating snow cones! "I felt like I was in an episode of The Twilight Zone. How bizarre. Shopping by moonlight on a weeknight. "Many families in Taiwan wake before dawn and get their kids to daycare before taking a taxi, bus or subway train to work. After lunch, everyone has a two-hour prescribed nap. And I do mean everyone. Office lighting is dimmed and soft music is piped through the intercom system. Workers put their heads down at their desk to catch a little shut-eye. "Two hours later, they awaken refreshed and put in another six hours at the office. By the time they collect their children from their after-school sports, music or English classes, it is close to 10 p.m. And that
is why they do their shopping at midnight. "According to Newans, early residents of Kemptville made similar adaptations to incorporate their work, family and social lives. "Near the end of the 19th century, most people in the Kemptville area farmed. Their daylight hours were taken up with farm work. As a result, many of the retail businesses in town stayed open late to accommodate the people who wanted to shop and socialize. "'Everyone would gather in the evenings on Prescott Street in Kemptville,' Newans remembers. 'People would stand about on the street, sipping coffee and catching up on the day's events. "'Children stayed up late, playing on the street where their parents could see them. "'It was a social time.'" Despite their rather insular existences on family farms in their day-to-day lives, people made the extra effort to get out and be sociable. It was a way of life that has, for the most part, been laid aside in recent generations.
I'm not saying we need to let our kids run around town until midnight. But it would be nice if we still had some face-to-face interaction with other members of the community, as in days gone by. And if we were able to shift shop hours to later evenings at least a couple of days a week, we might see a resurgence in local spending and a revitalization of our downtown core. We can't turn back the clock and restore our town to the way it used to be 100 years ago. But why would we want to? As an international speaker on rural issues, Becky McCray of www.smallbizsurvival.com says the key to breathing new life into your old town is to recognize current trends and build on them. We have a resurgence in popularity with our young families and local food enthusiasts, for example. We don't necessarily need more businesses; we just need to adapt our businesses to suit the needs and interests of the people who are here to support them. Diana Leeson Fisher is a regular columnist who grew up in the small town of Kemptville. Her blog can be found at www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com.

OPINION EDITORIAL
ALL FARMERS ASKIN’ IS FOR A LITTLE RESPECT Canadians are passionate about their food. It’s too bad they’re not as smitten with their farmers. While most country folks have a healthy appreciation for the significant contribution the agriculture sector makes to our lifestyle and economy, the urban-rural divide appears to be growing when it comes to farming. The recent changes to the Canadian Food Guide are just one manifestation of a lack of understanding many city-based bureaucrats and residents have for the challenges facing farmers. Many of the new guidelines are healthier, but don’t discount those who thrive upon old-fashioned meat and potatoes grub. Another recent blow to farmers is the apparent willingness of many Canadians to sacrifice supply management protections to stave off American trade sanctions. Local farmers are facing added costs as the assessment-based property tax system shifts the burden onto their sector. On one hand, it’s useful to see the value of farmland recognized, but it’s counterproductive if farmers are taxed out of operation. Farmers are also taking the brunt of city-instigated efforts by environmental and animal rights activists. While their general intent is often worthy of support, too often the devil is in the details when it comes to legislated changes. What may make sense in an urban setting, doesn’t necessarily translate to the country, unless urban consumers are willing to pay much higher prices for their food to compensate for the ’reforms’. Which, of course, they are not. Making urban outrage about agricultural practices and impacts harder to swallow is that farmers are among those hardest hit by climate change brought on at least partially by urban pollution. Canadian farm organizations have been putting more emphasis recently on explaining their value to the more than 98 per cent of Canadians who don’t live on a farm. The latest effort came Feb. 12, Canadian Agriculture Day, when it was stressed the country’s agriculture and agri-food sectors contribute over $110 billion to the economy and generate thousands of jobs in the food processing, transportation and retail sectors. But are such messages preaching only to the converted? Is anyone else listening? It’s been more effective for farmers to show the public what they do by demonstrating their vocation and putting the fruits of their labours on display. That’s why farmers’ markets, rural fairs, tastes of the valley, rural rambles and plowing matches are so important and need to be better publicized to attract city slickers as well as country folk.

"Wow - this is a very onesided article. How about cite some research that explains why dairy is off the table now? It's not healthy. I'm surprised by the quote from the dietitian to be honest. There is research linking it to cancer. Check out Harvard's School of Public Health - lots of information there. They actually stated they would not be influenced by the dairy industry...Not like this article."

INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER BRINGS MESSAGE OF HOPE TO THE AREA LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Eleanor Glenn is hoping to bring some hope to people across the Ottawa Valley and beyond as she continues a tour surrounding her best selling book, How Love Continues, Recognizing the Afterlife, released last fall. "It's a story that I plan on telling in my inspirational talk," the Smiths Falls native told Metroland Media during a recent interview. Glenn's 10-stop inspirational speaking tour has already visited Merrickville, but locals have another chance to participate when she comes to the North Grenville Municipal Centre's Suite B. It takes place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Admission is $20 and tickets can be purchased at the door. Glenn said she received a message - from her spirit guides or the Source, or the Holy Spirit, whichever way you tend to lean in your beliefs - to "go fix it," she said. The message happened only a week or two before Christmas during a small non-denominational service she attended, particularly to those who lost someone to death in the past year. People spoke the names of lost loved ones, but there was no dialogue happening, she said. She said she was upset that no messages of hope came through. "I came away from that service that evening, feeling that
Eleanor Glenn/Facebook Eleanor Glenn is a best selling author who is taking her Message of Hope on tour starting Jan. 29 in Perth. There are nine other stops on the tour throughout the Ottawa Valley right through to the end of May. those who had attended that night were not given any hope. It took me a few days to figure that out but that's the conclusion I came to." Glenn said she felt she was given this message: "Well then go fix it. The word that locked in my vision was 'go' and I took that literally." From there she visualized a circle around a map of Smiths Falls and came up with 10 places to host special talks. She said she hopes to bring messages of hope, comfort and optimism to those in attendance. "Given the intimacy or compassion needed for this talk, I need to be as close to my audi-
ence as possible," she said. "There is no technology, no power point, no charts or graphs. It's simply me talking. "When our loved ones die, the only thing that we lose of them is the visual presence of that person. But the message is that if you pay close attention in your own life, you will see that everything that made that person truly them - their consciousness, their personality, their soul, their spirit, is still with you. And this book goes into that in great detail." Plans have been falling into place since she decided that she needed to do speaking engagements. She will talk for the first hour, but that last half-hour, they'll have an opportunity to speak with Glenn as well. "Just to start conversation about transition and the passing from this life into the next within their own families and friendship groups. We need to start thinking and talking about the experience of transition differently. We are not dead, gone, lost - we're here. We're just here differently." She will be wearing a large broach on her back - either a butterfly or dragonfly. "People will wonder why that broach is on my back. But just because I can't see it ... doesn't mean it's not there. That's the message. And we need to be able to talk about." Glenn will teach those in attendance how to community, how to recognize signs that your loved ones are always present. In September and October, Glenn will be hosting women's retreats for those who would learn more about messages from loved ones.

FOOD AND DRINK
SOUPFEST WARMS UP KEMPTVILLE EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com What better way to get people out of winter hibernation than the temptation of delicious soup? Soupfest warmed the bellies and souls of hundreds of hungry people that packed the North Grenville Municipal Centre for the highly anticipated 11th annual Soupfest on Saturday, March 2. Hundreds of soup lovers tasted a variety of offerings as local chefs went head-to-head in a competition featuring their homemade soups. In all, 356 attendees came out. "I absolutely love it," said Joanna Ventrella, who tries to come to Soupfest every year. "I love soup even if it's on the hottest day of the year." Warm soup helps highlight the local food scene as the cold winter months wind down. "It's the winter, but people are starting to get out," said Lynn Ford, the organizer the Soupfest fundraiser for TLC Ministries. "It's a lot of value for everybody. Where else are you going to try all these soups under one roof ?" "People come in happy, they
leave happier," she said. And, it's all for a good cause. Funds raised through the even aids the non-profit organization TLC Ministries in helping the local community. Chef Pietro of The New Rideau Restaurant served up his roasted red pepper soup, spiced with fresh herbs and punctuated by charcoalroasted garlic. It was a hit with Terry Johansson. "I could definitely drink a gallon of this," he said. "I love the smoky flavour." Natalie Castellas, of Catered Affairs, is participating as a chef for the first time at Soupfest. Previously, Castellas has attended the event as a judge. "It's weird being on this side," she said. "I'm overwhelmed by how many people (there are) and how much people are enjoying our soup." Ram Mogandas, chef at Chuckles Jack in Smiths Falls, dished up his fire-roasted chicken and vegetable soup. Mogandas has attended Soupfest for seven years and loves the opportunity to bring his food out-
side of Smiths Falls. "I can use the restaurant to bring more people to town," he said, adding that it's a fun challenge to take on other area chefs. "It's a healthy competition," said Mogandas, who has previously taken home the best soup title. Sales of Mogandas' signature sauces at the event, including his butter chicken sauce, are donated back to TLC Soupfest. Last year, he donated $396.

YELLOW CANOE CAFÉ - NOT YOUR ORDINARY LUNCH SPOT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com If you've never visited the Yellow Canoe Café, you're missing out. Recognizable for the sunny yellow canoe perched outside its location in the historic Aaron Merrick block (108 St. Lawrence Street), the popular Merrickville mainstay has been around for more than 20 years. Current owner Danielle Moizer has been steering the ship since August 2014. It's in the family, she says. "I worked here as a teenager and my mother managed it, then owned it. Some people have a profession that runs in their family and this is what we do. The universe made me do it. It wasn't even really a choice." It's also one of my favourite local spots for lunch. On a chilly February Wednesday, I popped in to warm up with one of Moizer's homemade soups. She offers two daily - one vegan, one cream. On this day, my choices were creamy horseradish, leek and cheddar or sweet potato and ginger. Either would be a slam dunk, but I was intrigued by the former. I ordered it along with half a roast beef sandwich, which comes piled high with tender beef, roasted red peppers, horseradish, mayo, finished off with alfalfa sprouts and
cradled by Moizer's focaccia bread she bakes fresh daily. That extra dash of horseradish (Moizer makes her own from scratch - see a pattern here?) from the sandwich was just enough when paired with the soup, which was rich and flavourful. If you're a scone lover, Moizer offers a sweet and savoury variety each day. (Try the brie or parmesan sometime!) On this day, the choices were cheddar, bacon and chive or cherry and pecan. The savoury is served with a generous helping of caramelized butter so light and airy, while healthy portions of jam and whipped cream accompany the sweet option. There's something to suit every palate at the Yellow Canoe Café from sandwiches such as the Canoe Club (roast chicken or beef with bacon, tomato alfalfa and mayo), The Mad (Madras curry mayo with roast chicken, beef or eggplant, sweet chutney, grated carrots and alfalfa sprouts) or The Avocado (avocado slices with havarti, tomato and greens), to a classic ploughman's lunch and goat cheese salad with organic greens. All sandwiches can be made gluten free as well. Don't forget to leave room for dessert! Glutenfree chocolate cake, date squares, carrot cake with a
fluffy drizzle of cream cheese topping and more are available to tempt your tastebuds. All of these are served up by Moizer and her friendly and helpful staff. Stepping into the welcoming and cozy atmosphere, complete with local art adorning the walls, you know you've stumbled on something special, which is only reinforced by what's created in the kitchen. "It's not just about the food, it's the culture, it's the atmosphere, it's the people that work here, the decor we've put in, it's everything," she says of what she loves most about the café. "It's very empowering to be your own boss, but having something that's ours and people like working here, customers like coming back, that encourages me to keep going. Also having the culinary freedom to be able to do whatever I want, these are collections of things I like that I hope other people like too." Currently, the Yellow Canoe Cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed Monday and Tuesday. In April, the eatery will continue its normal operations of seven days a week.

“For me and my siblings, he was a loving and supportive father who modelled what it meant to be a parent, a member of the community whose engagement made it better, and who showed us how passion and hard work could make a difference. To his grandchildren, a gentle presence who was always interested in what they were doing and always had time for them. To my mom, a devoted husband and much more. To many in the area, a family doctor who worked hard to serve his patients and a driving force behind getting and keeping a hospital in Kemptville. He was also a lover of music and books, a smart ass, a great friend, had a wicked sense of humour (personal physician to the Archbishop of Canterbury-True story!) but was never cynical. And he liked to drive very fast! I will remember him for many things but what always stood out for me was his determination. Nothing stopped this man, not polio, not anything, certainly not speed limits or lakers on the St Lawrence!” A Memorial Visitation was held at the Kemptville Chapel of Hulse Playfair & McGarry, 805 Prescott Street, Kemptville on Monday, March 4, 2019 from 2 pm to 4 pm and 7 pm to 9 pm.

He was predeceased by his wife, Helen (McGlade), infant Terrance James, daughter Jane Ann and her husband Ed Reeves. Left to mourn him are his children Tony (Estelle) O’Neill, Sue Shepherd, Tim O’Neill and Barb (Geoff) Kerr.

1936-2019 65 Year Member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 793 Ontario Charlie passed suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday, February 22, 2019, at home. (Which is exactly how he wanted it, and we all know how he liked to be the boss.) He is so loved and will be so greatly missed by his sisters Mary-Helen, (Greg Colbourne) and Lorna Elliott. He’s now catching up and having a laugh with his two late brothers, Joe and Bernie Elliott, who he missed so much and spoke of often. He was the best Uncle (but more like a Father) to Shelly, (Dale Boothby) and Erica (Sean Brennan) and the quirkiest Great Uncle to Emma, (Nick) and Karlie Drummond, as well as Brody and Wade Brennan. Charlie loved to wander around Carleton Place and Almonte, stopping to chat with, well anyone who would listen really! He’d tell you like it was, even if it was only that way in his world. He was always showing his outrageous sense of humor with his funny sayings and made up stories that usually involved him being some sort of VIP or war hero. (You were safe to bet when he gave you that silly smile you knew he was making it up.) As Charlie wished, there will be no formal services. Trust us on this one. He drilled it into our heads that nothing was to be done! For those that wish, memorial donations in his honor to the Down Syndrome Clinic at CHEO would be appreciated. We’re going to miss the daily (let’s be serious, they were hourly) phone calls. Even when he was just calling to lecture you about keeping windshield washer fluid in your car at all times because “you’re worse off running out of that in the winter than gas ya know” or how “that highway 7 is the most dangerous road in the world.” We love you to Vancouver and back, and we’ll “see ya in the movies” Uncle Charlie.
