COMMUNITY

Bike Month to be celebrated in Lanark County this June ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Lanark County is encouraging residents to get out and ride this June during Bike Month across Ontario.

Bike Month was officially declared by Lanark County Warden John Fenik at the May 23 county council meeting.

"Cycling offers a unique perspective from which we can discover Lanark County's scenic beauty, history and culture as we travel on our rural roads and through historic towns, villages and urban communities," he stated.

Earlier in the month, during the May 9 session of Lanark County's community services committee, research assistant Casey Whiticar provided county councillors with an update on the celebrations. She noted $7,500 in funding was received through the Ontario Commuter Cycling Program, which the county

will use to promote safe cycling initiatives and Bike Month.

"Bike Month (kicked off) May 28 and continues until the end of June," she explained. "Across Ontario, different municipalities are doing a number of different things. We quickly applied for this extra little bit of funding and threw it out to our partners to see who we could team up with."

She said it was a quick turnaround to use up the funds - the application was submitted April 3, approved April 9 and the monies had to be spent by April 30.

Whiticar said the county has partnered with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Lanark County OPP, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Smiths Falls Police Service, Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation, local member municipalities and community members.

Road safety media campaigns have begun "with messages both directed at cyclists and drivers," and Whiticar indicated the county, Municipality of Mississippi Mills and health unit have created Share the Road pamphlets.

"These (pamphlets) are promoting safe road use, not just safe cycling, but how to navigate your way on the road and how drivers can help themselves and help bikers around them," she explained.

The county was also able to provide funding for the Perth and Smiths Falls bike rodeos to allow for bike helmets and T-shirts 'Be Safe, Be Seen' to be distributed to children. They are also supporting bikerelated initiatives taking place in local schools.

Whiticar said the county hopes to be a threat in the annual Silver Chain Challenge, a friendly competition between Lanark and Renfrew counties to promote healthier commu-

Participants simply log the number of kilometres they travel by bike during the month and their place of residence and those are transferred to points for their respective county.

"If you look on their website, we've got 10 people subscribed and eight of them are in Mississippi Mills, so it would be lovely if the entire county participates," she stated. "At the same time, if you're not a

biker, there's a calculation on there to transfer your steps into cycling kilometres as well ... Hopefully we can win and feed our competitive nature."

For more information, visit www.silverchainchallenge.ca or Whiticar said materials will also be available at local libraries.

The Slow Bike Race will be hosted by Lanark County at the administration building in Perth on June 13. Coun. Louis Antonakos

(Carleton Place mayor) will be hoping to claim the title once again after being dethroned last year.

"Louis, maybe you can help us with this. I've heard you're pretty good," Whiticar remarked.

Another initiative the Lanark County clerks group is exploring is establishing a Safe Cycling Communities notice, Whiticar said.

"As a number of you know, we have a lot of events that happen around cycling and groups that come into our communities who are cyclists, so if they contact us and need police presence, we'd like to have a notice that reminds them that our roads are safe cycling roads," she stated.

"This would include what we expect in order to invite you back into our community again and what needs to be done to keep our pedestrians safe, our cyclists safe and our drivers safe."

DAY OF CARING

3

On May 23, United Way Lanark County kicked off the first of six planned Days of Caring where employees from Tweed volunteered their efforts on company time to tackle projects for partners throughout Lanark County and Smiths Falls. The first project was weeding and cleaning up the backyard at The Mission in Smiths Falls, creating an enjoyable space for mission patrons to rest and share a free meal. The backyard needed some major TLC and the 10 Tweed volunteers, above, were up for the challenge. Not only did they clean up the backyard, and spring clean inside the shelter, they kept the Day of Caring going by picking up garbage at Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls. Right: The backyard area was refurbished thanks to Canadian Tire Smiths Falls which donated bags of soil and flowers to be planted.

Lanark county council approved two public works contracts on Wednesday, May 9, related to traffic signals and winter maintenance.

The first is for traffic signal upgrades

by Partham Engineering Ltd. for $167,810 following a request for proposals issued in March. Only one proposal was received; this firm has performed traffic signal maintenance for the county for multiple years and has successfully completed upgrades in the past. The upgrades are to take place in Carleton Place (Bridge Street at Townline Road; Joseph Street at Townline Road West; Patterson Street at McNeely Avenue; McNeely Avenue at the Walmart entrance) and on Bridge Street at Veteran Memorial Park in Almonte.

The second contract is for the provision of a combination tandem plow truck and operator for winter maintenance, which was broken down into six winter plow routes. Five schedules were awarded to Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited for almost $1.3 million, and one was issued to Nedow Const. Inc. for $263,250.

Only two tenders were received. The initial term of the contract is for three winter seasons, from 2018-2019 to 2020-2021. It provides optional extensions of two additional three-year terms. Equipment specifications, driver requirements, response times and contractor responsibilities form part of the contract to ensure resources used on the routes meet the county's requirements. These six routes have been maintained by contractors for several years. For more information, contact Terry McCann, director of public works, at 1888-9-LANARK, ext. 3190.

Strachan also thanked the local municipalities for their input and co-operation regarding land division issues throughout the years. For more information, contact Julie Stewart at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1520.

Chair Robert Strachan presented the annual report of the land division committee for 2017 to the economic development committee last month. The committee is made up of three appointed members (Strachan, Dan Murphy and Wayne Guthrie), with county planner Julie Stewart as secretary-treasurer. It meets monthly and has consent authority under the Planning Act. Strachan highlighted the number of applications over the last several years. In 2017, 120 applications were received, down slightly from previous years, with 38 pending at year end, 77 consents granted, two denied or withdrawn and three appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

The largest number of applications came from Tay Valley, followed by Drummond/North Elmsley and Lanark Highlands.

Strachan noted the committee is pleased county council has agreed to continue the land division process through the committee, adding the committee works with applicants to help with the process and keep their costs down while meeting required standards when approved. He also expressed gratitude to former secretary Mary Kirkham, who retired last year.

LANARK-FRONTENAC-KINGSTON

Anita Payne

Amanda Pulker-Mok Background: Amanda is a working mom and community leader, who brings a fresh perspective and strong voice to the table.

She is a current Almonte ward councillor in Mississippi Mills and serves on the Mississippi Mills Public Library board and local daycare advisory committee.

She is also a parent volunteer on the local nursery school's executive.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration and cultural studies at Trent University and a Bachelor of Education at Nipissing University.

She lives in Almonte with her partner, Carson, and their two young boys.

Metroland Media asked the candidates to indicate what they feel is the number one issue facing the riding and why?

The number one issue in Lanark-FrontenacKingston is ensuring we have the services we need

Amanda Pulker-Mok

close to home. Providing quality education, health, prescription, home, and child care is critical for our families, seniors, and youth.

The Liberal plan - Care over Cuts - invests in people. Economic growth is strong. Unemployment is the lowest it's been in nearly 20 years. And we're attracting record business investments. Now is the time to invest in our people, some of whom are not getting the full benefit of a strong economy. We built a

new hospital in Smiths Falls and provided funding for a new emergency wing for the Carleton Place hospital. Our investment of $822 million for hospitals and procedures will see wait times further reduced.

Our expanded OHIP+ program will cover the cost of 4,400 prescriptions for seniors 65 plus and youth under 25. We're investing an additional $650 million for home care. We're providing seniors with $750 annually to cover incidentals to help them stay at home longer.

We built new schools throughout the riding and added full-day kindergarten. Next, we'll introduce free preschool, saving parents up to $17,000 annually per child for child care.

These are a few of the big, bold investments to help people with the cost of everyday living.

Background: Originally from Toronto, I earned two degrees in Ecology and later became a teacher. While supply teaching in Lanark County throughout the 1990s I chaired the county Waste Management Public Liaison Committee and was president of my lake association and quilt guild.

While living and teaching high school science in Stratford in the 2000s, I became active with the Green party.

This is my fourth provincial campaign and I ran in the 2015 federal election.

Now retired, I volunteer with several local and national organizations, primarily Citizens' Climate Lobby.

My two children are grown and I have one grandchild.

Ramsey Hart Background: Executive director of the dynamic community food and social service hub The Table Community Food Centre in Perth.

Previous work in fields of environment and sustainability across Canada including mining, environmental education, and field biology. Recent volunteer work has included Perth Climate Change Task Force, Lanark County Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation and Tay Valley Ski Club.

My degrees are a MSc in Watershed Ecosystems at Trent University and a Bachelors in Environmental Studies from University of Waterloo.

I am single, have no kids of my own but enjoy time with niece and nephew, godson and black lab named Bea. Metroland Media asked the candidates to indicate what they feel is the number one issue facing the riding and why?

We've heard from people

Ramsey Hart

in the riding that their most pressing concern is access to timely, affordable, quality health care - a concern shared by organizations like the Ontario Nurses' Association, the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) and Diabetes Canada.

The OMA states: "Our hospitals are overflowing with patients, emergency rooms are jammed, sick patients line the hallways on stretchers awaiting treatment."

Our health care system

Anita Payne

the riding and why?

In rural Ontario the high cost of electricity is a concern. The Green party is the only one that will not promise to reduce your hydro rates now and then raise them later. Hydro rates have been temporarily reduced benefiting the wealthy the most. We will provide rate reductions only to the most needy. Electricity rates will have to triple to pay for refurbishing the aging nuclear plants.

We will have an independent public review to

evaluate all available energy sources. Our plan is to buy hydro power from Quebec while we transition to renewable energy. We will also invest in conservation.

Already new utility scale solar and wind power are cheaper than any other source.

Ontario's long term contracts with early renewable producers kick-started the industry.

There are already 274,000 Canadians working in clean energy, earning an average of $92,000. We need to meet Ontario's greenhouse gas pollution targets to stave off the costs of dealing with the consequences of the climate crisis. This also means that we need to phase out natural gas, which is as powerful a source of greenhouse gases as coal. The 21st century economic opportunities are based on clean technology, energy efficiency, local businesses and improved social services.

Randy Hillier also includes mental health, dental health, home care and long-term care, where there are also major challenges. For example, there are almost 1,300 people waiting for home care in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network.

At the root of the current crisis is the fact that, for decades now, Conservative and Liberal governments failed to adequately fund the services Ontarians expect and deserve.

The NDP will invest in our health and make life more affordable by introducing dental and prescription drug coverage for everyone. We will increase staff and resources for mental health services.

We will end overcrowding by funding 2,000 new hospital beds and ensure the needs of rural hospitals are met. We are committed to eliminating wait times for home care and will open 15,000 new long-term care beds over the next five years.

Background: Randy Hillier is a proud father of four, and grandfather of five. He and his wife, Jane, have been longtime residents of Lanark County.

An electrician by trade, Randy used his limited free time to address the challenges and injustices imposed upon farmers, small businesses and other individuals in the community.

Randy quickly developed a reputation as a strong advocate for the rights of rural communities across the province.

In 2007, Randy won the Progressive Conservative nomination in the riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington, and went on to win re-election in 2011 and 2014.

For eleven years, Randy has held the government accountable for their indifference to the needs of rural Ontarians, fought the

Randy Hillier

overregulation that is stifling businesses, stood up against injustice, and demanded respect for taxpayers.

Metroland Media asked the candidates to indicate what they feel is the number one issue facing the riding and why?

While there have been many successes, ongoing challenges remain, such as outrageous electricity

rates, a mismanaged health care system, a shortage of good paying jobs, and an economy devoid of opportunity.

He will continue this fight on behalf of the people of Lanark-FrontenacKingston to put Ontario back on the path to prosperity.

At the May 10 all-candidates meeting in Beckwith, he acknowledged the hydro crisis in the province, noting there are 250,000 families that can't afford hydro and 60,000 were disconnected last year.

This is a third world problem, not what we would expect in the richest province of the country.

Randy also wants to cut the waste in the health care system, increase long-term care beds and eliminate the "hallway health care" the Liberal government has created.

Other candidates in this riding: Steve Gebhardt (Libertarian), John A. McEwen (Independent).

LEEDS-GRENVILLE-THOUSAND ISLANDS AND RIDEAU LAKES

7

Background: I grew up in Brockville and graduated from Thousand Islands Secondary School prior to attending the University of Waterloo, where I completed a Bachelor of Arts Degree.

Following three successF fful terms as Mayor of Brockville from 1982-1991, I went to work in media and Internet development. I ran as the candidate to succeed former MPP Bob Runciman in the 2010 by-election.

I've been proud to serve as MPP for the past eight years. At Queen's Park, I've held a variety of critic portfolios and senior positions within the Official Opposition, including House Leader and Deputy Leader of the PC Party.

My wife, Deanna, and I are the proud parents of a blended family of five children and have three grandchildren.

Metroland Media asked the candidates to indicate what they feel is the number one issue facing the rid-

ing and why?

The major issue for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes in this election is economic development.

Creating new, good-paying jobs and retaining those we have is absolutely critical to the sustainability of our communities.

I'm very confident our riding is well positioned to take advantage of new opportunities, but what's holding us back is a provincial government that has

Derek Morley businesses hedging their bets on Ontario.

In this campaign, Ontario PCs are putting forward policies to restore confidence in Ontario and get us back at the table when companies are deciding where to invest.

An Ontario Chamber of Commerce survey found the primary reason businesses of all sizes lack the confidence to invest in Ontario is the economic policies of the Wynne government. Those policies, including soaring electricity rates, have cost us 300,000 good-paying manufacturing jobs on this government's watch.

An Ontario PC government will change those policies to restore business confidence and bring back investment and new jobs.

It has been an honour to serve you as MPP. On June 7, I'm asking ffor your vote to continue working on w your behalf. y

do. They were not looking out for you and me when they made those decisions, and they certainly aren't now.

The NDP is the ONLY party who will bring Hydro One back into public hands AND reduce our bills by 30 per cent. Higher delivery fees punishing rural residents?

Gone! Time-of-use billing that squeezes businesses, stay-at-home parents, seniors? Gone! Plus, Ontario will soon be reaping the rewards of having our utility back in public hands with all the financial dividends that come with it.

The PC party, though big on criticism for the Liberal model, has no real plan to make any significant changes. They will keep hydro privatized and simply replace the existing board with executives of their choosing.

The NDP understands the hydro burden the Liberals have created, and we have the best plan for relief.

He attended Commonwealth Public School, and Brockville Collegiate Institute where he played football. He did his Bachelor of Science at the University of Waterloo, and his MBA at Queen's before returning to Brockville.

Early in his career he worked, as many have in his community, in the manufacturing sector at Phillips Cables and DuPont Canada. In 1997 he took over the family business at Henderson Printing as president.

In 2006, he was elected mayor of Brockville, reelected in 2010, and 2014, becoming Brockville's longest serving mayor.

David Henderson

As mayor, David has championed many economic initiatives, and boosting tourism in the St. Lawrence corridor.

He's served as the chair of the Eastern Ontario Mayors Committee, and as the budget chair of the City of Brockville.

In his spare time David is an avid kayaker (who wouldn't be in the City of the 1000 Islands), a hockey player, and a football coach for his old high school.

But most of all he enjoys spending time with his family.

Metroland Media asked the candidates to indicate what they feel is the number one issue facing the riding and why?

The highest priority for our riding is continued investment for our key services: Our hospitals, our schools, mental health, infrastructure, and our programs that help people turn their lives around and get back on their feet.

This investment is needed now. We've balanced the budget, so now is the best time to invest in our area.

What we need then in Brockville, Kemptville and throughout the district is to get ready to respond to these trends by cultivating industries that are resistant. This will require a dynamic-multi-approach plan.

Building on the success of tourism in Merrickville, Gananoque and Westport, we can create more jobs with an integrated approach, a circuit that takes visitors through the highlights of our district. It also means connecting our farmers with the eat-local movement. We can become the garden for Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal citizens who want to buy food with the lowest carbon footprint, grown closest to their homes. As your Green party MPP candidate, I have the road map to this dynamic future for our community.

I encourage you to get to the polling stations on June 7 and make sure your voice is heard.

Your vote matters

Anyone who watched just five minutes of the last leaders' debate of the Ontario provincial election on Sunday night may be fighting with the question: Why vote?

These so-called leaders kept interrupting each other, throwing digs, ignoring the moderators; it gives little hope any of them can lead the province after the June 7 election, if this is how they choose to treat each other on national television.

But that is what any eligible voter is asked to do: just vote.

Voter apathy is not easy to understand for those who have always seen it as their civic duty.

Yet those who refuse to vote have a few reasons that deserve to be addressed directly. Because it is clear that everyone benefits when all voters in a democracy cast a ballot.

'I never vote,' is a line often heard at times such as this, during a provincial election campaign. 'I'm not political and don't know how it works or where to go, so I just don't bother.'

A more difficult one goes like this: 'I don't think the party I like can win in this riding so what's the point?'

And the toughest one to get around is: 'I don't like any of the candidates. I prefer to protest by spoiling my ballot.'

But vote you must.

In the 2014 election just over 50 per cent of Ontario's 9.2 million eligible voters cast a ballot and in 2011 48.2 per cent voted.

That slight increase still means only half the province voted.

You may think you are not political but every action you take or don't take affects politics. The new developments in hospitals and highways were funded by the provincial government, every time you walk into the hospital you are reaping the benefits of provincial funding.

If you don't think your favourite party is going to win, still vote for them as the party receives a quarterly rate by the number of valid votes a party's candidates receives in the general election: your vote matters.

Last week, the prime minister recognized the 100th anniversary of women's rights to vote federally, in Ontario women were granted the vote in 1917. People died in war for our right to vote. After all of these sacrifices and battles it proves you must vote.

And as we all know no candidate in the history of democracy has been perfect.

It is easy to look up how and where to vote; www.elections.on.ca or call 1-888-668-8683.

Be educated.

Election day is June 7. Vote. It matters.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Provincial candidates called on to improve Perth courthouse DEAR EDITOR: The Perth courthouse looks relatively unchanged since it was built in 1843, but it continues to serve Lanark County's 70,000 residents. A justice of the peace and at least one judge hold court every weekday.

Unfortunately, although the population of Lanark County is growing, the last renovation was over 20 years ago.

A new courthouse was approved in 2007 but was for unknown reasons was never built.

The Supreme Court has ordered that criminal

charges be dismissed if there is significant delay in setting trials; yet Perth does not have enough courtrooms for the number of cases.

The Courthouse accommodates only one jury trial, and only one courtroom has closed-circuit television technology (used when children testify), so victims wait months for their day in court, even when the Crown and defence are ready to proceed.

Similar problems exist for civil and family court, where litigants wait several months to see a judge.

Children are growing up uncertain about when they will see their parents and who will make decisions about them.

Families who choose mediation to resolve their disputes are packed into ti-

Prisoners are walked through public waiting areas to court.

It is not possible to guarantee separation of victim and abuser at the Perth courthouse. Victims of crime have to wait in the same hallway as the perpetrators.

Within the past 18 months, the OPP has been called more than two dozen times to deal with reports of violent incidents at the courthouse.

As a committee of lawyers, judges, police officers, and others concerned about justice, we ask the election candidates to commit to providing Lanark County with the same justice system as the rest of Ontario.

Clients consult lawyers in the hallway or on the front lawn, because there are so few private meeting spaces.

The embarrassing lack of space deprives families using the court system of dignity.

Local Lions Clubs raise funds for CNIB

DEAR EDITOR: On Saturday, May 5, dedicated volunteers across the region hit the streets to raise funds for CNIB's Lake Joseph Centre (Lake Joe).

Through the collective efforts of the Lions Clubs of Almonte, Carleton Place, Gananoque and Smiths Falls, and the generosity of our communities, more than $17,500 was raised at the toll roads. Almonte Lions Club alone raised $5,300.

Lake Joe brings the magic of summer camp into the lives of people who are blind or partially sighted.

Here, people with sight loss and their families can enjoy the same summer pursuits as other Canadians: canoeing, kayaking, water-skiing, swimming,

sailing and fishing - as well as access to intensive courses that teach necessary life skills, from cooking to mobility.

Lake Joe is a place where a kid can be a kid.

Visit cnib.ca/LakeJoe to learn more.

CNIB is truly grateful for the efforts of the local Lions Clubs and our communities who are making a lasting impact in the lives of so many.

The Lions Clubs would be happy to share more details about their experience on the day.

No party is addressing Ontario's 'real issue'

Staggering debt load in province a serious matter, Jeff Maguire writes JEFF MAGUIRE Column

With the provincial general election now just a week away the three major parties are pulling out all the stops as they attempt to lure voters during the closing phase of what has turned into a very close race.

If you believe the polls the Ontario Liberals' 15year reign is about to end amid public anger over soaring electricity rates and scandal, including the gas plant fiasco, which sent leader Kathleen Wynne's personal popularity plunging to an unprecedented

low.

Heading into 2018 the Progressive Conservative Party appeared poised for a sweeping victory. Then came the surprise downfall of leader Patrick Brown who was accused, anonymously, of sexual misconduct. The "Me Too Movement" is undoubtedly overdue. The down side is that anonymous allegations have been immediately accepted as fact in some cases. Brown's situation

underlines the dangers inherent in a media-fuelled public rush to judgment.

Following a rapid-fire race the party faithful picked Doug Ford, an often controversial former Toronto councillor, as their new leader.

Clearly Ford's presence has led to a polarizing effect which has seen the New Democrats and leader Andrea Horwath surge in popularity. At this writing polls show the NDP could be headed for a major victory next Thursday.

But what of the issues facing Ontarians? And how would the 'Big Three' tackle them? Things like out of control hydro rates, health care, daycare, much needed infrastructure improvements and yes, the soaring provincial debt.

Ford appears to be the

only major leader willing to consider cuts. He has at least mentioned the possibility. But for my money he too has paid only lip service to the final among the five issues I have just highlighted - the provincial debt, the money this province owes.

The NDP are once again hanging their hat on the often misunderstood word "free". Free dental care, free daycare and of course continued free health care although with nothing substantial in terms of how they would reduce ridiculously long wait times.

Meanwhile the flagging Liberals are making numerous promises which, on the surface, sound wonderful. But despite laying out a platform which is heavy on spending Wynne and her party continue to

poll a very poor third!

Not to be outdone Ford is promising to fire the Hydro One chief administrative officer and banish the entire electrical board, a pledge which is music to the ears of most Ontarians I suspect.

The PC's are also touting a 10 cent gas tax reduction and tax cuts for middle income earners.

Of course anyone with even a rudimentary grasp of economics knows the word "free", especially when uttered by politicians, is definitely a misnomer.

The reality is that there is no such thing as free. All of the "freebies" will have to be paid for by taxpayers at one end or the other.

Personally I would be far more comfortable voting for a party and a candi-

date who showed some interest in dealing with THE main issue in Ontario. Our staggering debt load!

To be fair the politicians do have a serious problem when it comes to addressing this very important matter. Many among the taxpaying public are equally guilty when it comes to mismanaging their personal finances. Come election time hearing the real facts about the province's economy only adds to the hurt.

The last thing most people want to hear from politicians is the truth! – Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont. He has been writing for community and daily newspapers in Ontario since 1971.

aged to produce a lovely blouse with white pearl buttons, rolled-up cuffs and as pink as a freshly picked rose.

The next day, Saturday, mother said I could wear the new blouse and go into Renfrew with her to deliver her wares door to door.

So there I was handing out trussed up chickens, fresh butter, sticky buns and eggs, proud as punch in my new pink blouse.

Instead of heading right for home when everything

was delivered, mother said we were stopping at Walker's Store. There were a few things she wanted to pick up. Which was fine with me.

She headed right for the counter with the roll-onroll of ribbons. Every colour and some as wide as three inches. She took hold of the wide red roll and then the pink one, and told the sales clerk, "I'd like a yard of each, please."

I had no idea what she was going to do with all that ribbon, especially in

the colours she chose.

I found out on Sunday morning when we were getting ready for church.

She took the pink ribbon, laid it out on the kitchen table, and made a bow as long as a 12-inch ruler. She told me I could wear the new pink blouse to church with a navy skirt she had made from one of Uncle Jack's suits that had come in the hand-me-down box. And then she took the big pink l See MARY’S, page 14

Certainly I wasn't the only pupil with red hair at the Northcote school, but I was the only girl. One boy from the Barr Side Road was also a redhead. The Briscoes came close, but my hair was flaming red, and the bane of my existence.

For reasons which I could never understand, redheads were never supposed to wear pink or red, which just happened to be two of my favourite colours.

Even my older and much wiser sister, Audrey, had no explanation for it. "That's just the way it is, Mary" she would say when I asked her to explain it to me.

Well, mother wasn't the kind of person to live by strict rules. She well did what pleased her and our family, and often scoffed at the things that were considered improper out there in Renfrew County. She stuck to the rules of the Catholic Church, like never eating meat on a Friday, but what she called 'habits' of rural Northcote were often tossed by the wayside.

And, one day my life changed forever, and it all had to do with my red hair.

It was after the ladies of the area had been at Aunt Bertha's for their regular quilting session. Velma and I, as usual, were playing under the quilt with our dolls. The quilt was finished, and the women were admiring it, stretched out between the two rollers on the backs of the kitchen chairs. As was always the case, there were several pieces of broadcloth left over, and mother ended up with a good chunk of pink material.

It was Mrs. Beam who said, "it's too bad Mary can't wear pink ... there's enough there for a blouse".

Well, that's all it took for

There was silence around the table ... no one argued with mother ... her being from New York and all. And so mother went home with the piece of pink broadcloth, with me wondering what she was going to do with it. Would she really make something for me?

Well, that very night, the old Singer sewing machine was fair buzzing in the kitchen after supper. It took several nights, but lo and behold, mother man-

bow, and anchored it to the top of my head with two big black bobby-pins.

I ran to the mirror at the back door, and there the pink bow sat like a folded newspaper across my flaming red ringlets, and almost the exact colour of the broadcloth blouse.

Big bows were the fashion of the day for young girls, and all through church I kept touching it to make sure I hadn't dreamt the whole thing.

It wouldn't be the last time I wore pink. And I knew it would just be a matter of time until mother found something in bright red to put on my back too, just to show the people of Northcote that some rules were made to be broken.

'The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby' debuts in Smiths Falls June 15

Tickets are now on sale for the Smiths Falls Community Theatre's upcoming show, The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby, by Norm Foster. With a title like that and Foster on the bill, you know you are in for big laughs and touching moments. From here on, let's just refer to it as 'the fishing play' or 'Kooshog Lake'.

In her directorial debut here, Nicki Hayes, most recently seen on stage in last month's Butterflies are Free, has assembled a group of five actors who are

all becoming well known to theatregoers. The story is as follows: James Bell (Noel White, last seen in February's Rumors), a big city guy, has his car break down in the rural community of Kooshog Lake and find's he's stuck there for the weekend.

While there, he meets the eccentric locals including the mechanic, Kirk Douglas - not that one (Rich Croteau, most recently in Kemptville's An Inspector Calls) who owns the bait and tackle shop; Sienna (Chris Winter, who stole

the show in Nana's Naughty Knickers) who owns Sienna's Grocery where most of the action of the play takes place; Melanie (Katharine Coleman, most recently director of Who Dunit?), who owns the local antique shop and Rhonda (Mandi Reed, from Who Dunit?) the biggest flirt you could find in town, who seems to own and run everything else in town.

With nothing better to do while waiting for his car to be fixed in what he considers a backwards town, James enters the annual

fishing derby, where it's not about the biggest fish, just the one specific fish with the special lure stuck in his mouth, Hollis McCauley (named after Kirk's high school shop teacher - not a pretty man!). The dialogue in this play is where the humour comes from. Foster delivers another quick paced and witty script with characters that everyone will be able to relate to.

Watching this play, you'll be able to identify your neighbour down the street, and maybe even yourself. By the end, James

reconsiders what he really values as he discovers the best qualities of the strange community he is in. There are lessons to be learned here, but they are subtle. The laughs, however, are not! That is the main point of this show! The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby is the perfect show for small town Ontario!

The show plays Friday and Saturday, June 15 to 16 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee show Sunday, June 17 at 2 p.m. The second weekend runs Thursday to Satur-

day, June 21 to 23 at 7:30 p.m. and finishes up with a matinee on Sunday, June 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students and can be purchased with cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St., in Smiths Falls; online or by phone (613-2830300) with credit card. If tickets are still available, they can be purchased a half-hour before showtime, at the door, with cash.

ing around other cats. However, Olson would love to be invited into a loving home.

Please meet Olsen in Carleton Place at Natural Pet Foods from where he can be adopted.

Babe This lovely nine-yearold female cat was surrendered to LAWS because her owner was moving into a retirement home. Sadly,

there were no pets allowed and Babe is now safely at LAWS. She is adjusting to her new, hopefully temporary, home and you often find her under the sink on a bunch of clean towels.

She is very sweet and still someone will take her home. We're absolutely certain that when she's invited into her new forever home she'll be making you

very happy with her presence. Because of her age we've lowered the adoption price for Babe. Please meet Babe at LAWS. Momma We have Momma1, who would be happy to find a home of her own. She's a pretty, large, Tortoiseshell cat who has been around.

She loves to snuggle in a big box to observe what's going

on around her. Momma1 is a bit cautious when meeting new people but when you have time and are attracted to a large, lady with nice orange, brown and black markings with Tortoiseshell "cattitude" then please meet her at LAWS. Freckles Hello, my name is Freckles. I am a happy-golucky, friendly and playful

six-month-old handsome orange and white male cat looking for a home. If you're thinking about adopting a nice looking young cat like me then please come and get me, I am available at LAWS from where I'd be happy to convince you to take me home.

Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like at facebook.com/ lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.ca.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308.

LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls.

Health unit seeks input on online food inventory On The Bright Side 2018 Tour

“... one of the treasures of the East Coast, rich with tradition and unmatched in ensemble performance.”

NEXT THURSDAY!

Brockville Arts Centre - Thursday, June 7 @ 7:30 PM Box Office: 613 342 7122

l

is enrs a r B Tea THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

Please provide your thoughts on the food inventory! Have you seen it or used it? Did foodcoreLGL miss something?

FoodcoreLGL keeps an online food inventory, a list of the food and nutrition-related programs, organizations and businesses in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark.

The group wants to know if you've used it and also what might be missing. The inventory is divided into five sections: • Growing and Gathering Food • Preparing and Eating Food • Buying Food

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, allow time for others to process a big announcement you recently made. Patience is something you will need this week.

Viewing things from others’ points of view will help.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Very little that is holding you back this week, Taurus. You realize you can do anything that you set your mind to. Use this power wisely in the next few days.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

CLUES ACROSS

insideottawavalley.com

• Help for Getting Food • Sustaining our Future These sections represent the stages of the local food system from seed to compost.

"When we talk about the food system," says Marie Traynor, public health nutritionist, "we mean everything and everybody that's involved from seeds to growing, processing, acquiring, transporting, distributing, selling, preparing, eating and disposing of food."

The inventory also takes in consideration the principles of the Food Charter for United

Counties of Leeds and Grenville and Lanark County.

FoodcoreLGL has just completed a check of existing links and contacts but the group still needs to know what might be missing and if people have used the inventory for work or home.

Please evaluate it by filling out the short survey linked from the home page at www.foodcoreLGL.ca. Many thanks in advance from foodcoreLGL, a coalition of food activists and organizations who work to take practical steps to realize the vision of the Food Charter.

EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com Students from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) are welcoming Indigenous students from the Fond-duLac area in Northern Saskatchewan to Smiths Falls.

A group of Grade 10 students, currently completed their active citizenship project for their civics class, have decided to fundraise to provide 15 Indigenous students with the opportunity to travel south to explore Smiths Falls during a cultural exchange. In turn, students from SFDCI will be travelling to Fonddu-Lac this fall to experience life in a remote northern community.

The students' plane tickets are being covered through Experiences Canada.

The Fond-du-Lac area is an extremely isolated flyin community that has a population of less than

1,000 people. Many of the students coming to Smiths Falls have never travelled before.

"It might be their only chance to come to Smiths Falls, to come to Ottawa, to come to this whole area," said SFDCI civics teacher, Emma Hart.

The visitors from Fonddu-Lac will be taken to Parliament Hill, museums, parks, a wilderness tour trip, as well as stopping at local food markets to try different types of cuisine, during their trip to Ontario. The students from Fond-du-Lac will also be participating in the Spirit of the Drum Powwow being held in Smiths Falls in June.

Various in-kind and cash donations have been raised through the community to make this experience a reality for the youth.

"It went really well," said Grade 10 student Anna Van Spengen, who is the head of fundraising for this project. "It widened my ho-

will be matched with a partner to connect with during their visit.

"I can't really explain how excited I'm feeling now," said Grade 10 student

Lauren Miller who will also be one of the SFDCI students travelling to Fonddu-Lac in the fall. "I'll get to see more of what their culture is like. I mean you hear about it in history class and you hear about it in the news, but to actually go there and see how different their culture is, or what's the same.

"It'll be an eye opener for sure."

Miller said there has been a big focus on Indigenous peoples in their history class where she has learned a lot.

"Getting to see it first hand is going to be amazing," she said.

The students from Fond-du-Lac arrive in Smiths Falls on June 3 and will stay until June 10.

Students are still raising money to assist with the project. If interested in donating, please email emma.hart@ucdsb.on.ca or call SFDCI at 613-283-0288, and ask for Emma Hart.

New water tower proposed for Smiths Falls

EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com

hate to see that water tower taken down."

Dunlop said that the future of the current water tower's structure, outside of its function to store water, wasn't a part of J.L. Richards study. He said whether

the tower is used for water storage or not maintenance will be required.

The future of the water tower as a structure without water is expected to be the topic of a separate discussion.

A public information session about the future solutions to potable water storage in town will be held at the Smiths Falls Curling Club located at 13 Old Slys Rd. on Tuesday, June 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.

“The confidence I gained impressed my family.”

Michael, Tim Horton Camper from Ottawa, ON Immigrating to Canada from Tanzania as a child, Michael was often shy and nervous in his new surroundings. It wasn’t until he attended Tim Horton Camp in Parry Sound that he came out of his shell. The friends he made immediately took him under their wings and challenged him to try new experiences. After 10 days of zip-lining and canoeing, Michael returned home with a new confidence. Now understanding the power of a helping hand, he works with new students at his school to help them find their place in their new surroundings.

Thank you, Michael. And thanks to all our Tim Horton Campers who make our community stronger. insideottawavalley.com

Smiths Falls' iconic water tower is nearing the end of its 100year lifespan. And, Troy Dunlop, the town's director of public works and utilities, says it's time for Smiths Falls to plan for the future of water storage.

While the current water tower meets water quality standards, its storage capacity is "significantly lower" than current and future recommendations set out by the province's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) and wouldn't accommodate Smiths Falls' growth moving forward in the next 20 years.

The MOECC's total recommended storage is 6,281 metres cubed in 2017 and 7,251 metres cubed in 2037. The town currently has storage totalling 1,820 metres cubed - approximately four hours of stored water available during current maximum day demands.

Mayor Shawn Pankow pointed out that during the last major water main rupture the town lost half the tank in about 15 minutes.

"That leaves us vulnerable," he said.

The tower's age is also starting to show. Dunlop said during the course of the study to assess water storage solutions, the water tower has sprung two leaks.

Dunlop expects that the water tower will start to see a rising cost for both unexpected and required maintenance in the coming years. Dunlop said the town has moved planning for alternative potable water storage solutions up two years from what the asset management plan originally prescribed. The study to assess solutions was supposed to start in 2019 but, instead, began last year.

Professional engineer, Sarah Gore, a project manager for J.L. Richards and Associates Ltd., now in Phase 2 of their study to assess potable water storage solutions for Smiths Falls, presented various options to council at their council meeting on Tuesday, May 22, which included the possibility for the old water tower to be decommissioned and a larger water tower to be built in a new location.

Gore said the frequency of failure with the current water tower will only increase, putting the town at risk.

Gore told council that the preferred option is to construct a new water tower on Air Care

Drive. J.L. Richards assessed eight possible locations, and provided an analysis of three shortlisted sites, including the preferred option on Air Care Drive, at the water tower's current site, and another new location off Second Street, adjacent to Atironto.

Gore said the Air Care Drive site would allow the "imposing structure" to be located away from residential areas but does require upgrades to the town's water distribution system which is the same case if the tower was constructed in any other location aside from the tower's current position. The Second Street location was not preferred because of its proximity to residential buildings.

The new tower, if constructed at the Air Care Drive site, would is estimated to cost between $7.8 million to $8.9 million - plus or minus 30 per cent. This option would include service upgrades.

The Second Street location is estimated to cost between $7.3 million to $8.4 million. This option would also require service upgrades.

The cheapest option would be to place the new water tower in the same location as the current tower at the Confederation Drive site. Gore said this is not recommended because the tower's imposing nature wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing near the town's waterfront, in addition to land use concerns at the site. This option, which doesn't require service upgrades, could costs between $5.7 to $6.8 million.

As it stands, keeping the existing water tower would cost $1.9 million in rehabilitation costs to comply with the national building code and Ontario building code.

There is capacity at the water treatment plant, built in 2010, that will accommodate for the town's growth. A new tower, as proposed, would require a larger footprint than the water tower currently in operation.

Dunlop said that while the plans are in motion the town isn't mandated to build anything immediately.

Gore said that all options were evaluated based on their potential impact to nature, culture, community, in addition to economic and engineering and technical considerations.

Coun. Lorraine Allen questioned whether or not the town could keep the iconic water tower, even without water in it.

"I'm hoping we keep it for other reasons," she said. "I would

News & Events Best Management Practices for Drinking Water Threats: Pesticides The application, handling and storage of pesticides can be a potential threat to drinking water sources under the Clean Water Act, 2006. Pesticides may be used in green spaces to limit damage from insects, weeds and plant disease. However, water runoff can carry soil particles with pesticides from treated fields or spills into streams, ditches, ponds, and wells, affecting the health of both people and livestock, and the quality of produce.

What are some best management practices for pesticide use?

• Use products immediately and apply them exactly as instructed.

• Purchase only the necessary amount for the job so products can be used up quickly – this avoids mixing and long term storage of larger quantities of concentrated products.

• Look for more natural product options and strategies.

• Never discard pesticides down the drain, toilet, sewer, or in the trash.

• Do not rinse containers in a household sink and do not pour rinse water down the drain.

• Under no circumstances should a pesticide container be burned, reused, or used for storing any other substance.

For more information on pesticide use, you can visit Conservation Ontario’s website at www.conservationontario.ca or view the helpful brochure on pesticides by the Raisin-South Nation Source Protection Region at http://goo.gl/46GEDm

REDHAWKS FUNDRAISE FOR RUGBY TRIP

The Smiths Falls Settlers junior hockey players may have gone home for the off-season, but their rooms at the Gallipeau Centre have been reopened for public rentals.

BOSS Development owner, Barry DeGray, who owns the Settlers hockey team and rents an entire wing at the Gallipeau Centre where the players live for the season, said what better way for a little extra income than to open the dorm rooms for travellers during the five months that they're unoccupied.

"The rooms start at $60 a night," said DeGray, and he added, "it helps the (room rental) need in Smiths Falls."

DeGray said he's opened the wing on May 24 to anyone who wants to rent a room for a night, or on a weekly basis. Guests will need to bring their own linens/pillows, but will have a bed and dresser located in the secure building.

There are multi-style single occupancy units, and double occupancy upon request. There is a boardroom to use, free Wi-Fi, as well as office space rentals. The centre also has his and her shower rooms, with a common kitchen area, television room and games' room.

A pool and gymnasium are also on site.

Guests will also be able

to get a bite to eat at the onsite restaurant, the Iron Kettle.

"As that grows, I'm working with the Gallipeaus to expand into small apartments and more suites and grow it. So the dorms will always be the dorms, but there is so much growth potential back there it will really help assist BOSS Development," DeGray said.

"As the academy and the school grows, we'll hopefully be out in front of it with renovated rooms ... and keep growing the room rentals."

DeGray said the room rentals are for anyone ... office executives, people who work at Tweed and are driving from out of town.

Working business people in the area, he said.

DeGray said he is also encouraging stays for special groups, like walking/ hiking/canoeing groups who stop in town and need a place to stay. Arrangements can be made for those who have special requirements.

The purpose and effect of the amendments is to ensure that the Plan is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement, it conforms to the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville Official Plan, and addresses matters of local planning interest. The updated/amended Official Plan is to replace the current Official Plan.

The initial meeting regarding revisions to the Plan was held on May 23, 2017 and the Open House on the draft Plan was held on April 17, 2018.

As of May 31, 2018, a copy of the draft Official Plan is available on the Township website at: www.ektwp.ca (under Quicklinks, click onto Official Plan).

Please note that after the adoption of the Official Plan amendment by the Council of the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley, the Plan will be forwarded to the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville for final approval. The Township will then commence the preparation of an update to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law in order to implement the Plan.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley before the proposed Official Plan with amendments is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

that the town would need to look at when consideration of any tiny home proposal in town.

For the tiny homes proposed by Cornerstone Landing, which will be permanent structures not on a trailer, a zoning amendment for the property in question would be needed to allow more than one dwelling on one site. The town would also have to define what is meant by a "tiny home."

Town staff recommended that council consider the likelihood of similar requests in the future and whether this request would establish a precedent.

Karl Grenke, senior planner at the Town of Smiths Falls, said regardless of how the town chooses to proceed on this issue, it's a worthy discussion and an important issue.

"It is part of our respon-

sibility to provide a range of affordable housing options, whether part of this particular proposal or comprehensively," he said.

Grenke expressed in his report, presented to council on April 23, that many municipalities are considering tiny homes in their zoning, as councils try to balance the public good of providing a diverse selection of housing options with the traditional approach of zoning, which aims to "promote a consistent and predictable built form in a neighbourhood."

"This is likely not the last time the town will be asked to consider this form of housing," the report reads. " GIFTING LAND? Cornerstone has asked the Town of Smiths Falls to gift them a parcel of land on Franklin Street. This parcel of land would be where the tiny homes would be built if approved.

Land some councillors

weren't quick to give up.

Coun. Lorraine Allen said that, while she is intrigued by the idea of tiny homes, she wasn't sure the proposed location, or any location, was a good fit.

"I'm not sure if there is a perfect place yet," she said.

Not all residents were receptive to the plan. Ross Ayotte, in a delegation to council on April 23, voiced concerns about the tiny homes devaluing adjacent properties and questioned what supervision the youth would be under while living in the accommodation.

Ayotte did not support the proposed tiny homes, citing too many unanswered questions about the proposed development.

According to the most recent property assessment, presented at council on April 23, the land is valued at $29,000. Town staff has also sought an independent appraisal of land, which as of Tuesday, May

22, had not been presented.

The appraisal would reflect a value the town might be able to get if it sold the property.

According to a report originally presented in April, Troy Dunlop, the town's director of public works and utilities, advised that water and sanitary sewer mainlines are present on Franklin Street.

He reported that the installation of new service connection to the property line would be around $5,000.

However, it was reported that without a site plan and geotechnical information the cost of on-site water, sewer and utility services would remain undetermined.

Legal costs to transfer the land range between $1,000 and $2,000.

The town said prior to any building permits being issued, the property would have to be rezoned and a site plan agreement complete. The total cost for

those two applications would be $35,00.

For the town to dispose of land, there is protocol that needs to be followed. A bylaw would need to be passed. But before that could happen, protocol set out by the Municipal Act must be adhered to, which includes public notification.

Though, Grenke said, the question surrounding the appropriateness of tiny homes, either on this site or townwide, can only be answered following the evaluation of a planning process - a separate question that goes beyond just the scope of Cornerstone's request.

Kelford said that she's currently co-ordinating a committee interested in tiny homes to help advocate for municipalities to start looking at smaller homes and how to incorporate to into their bylaws.

Kelford said that Cornerstone won't be request-

ing a zoning amendment until the town decides they're going to gift us the requested land.

But council is leaving it in their council.

"Nothing is going to happen until there is an application for a zoning change," said Coun. Jay Brennan. "The ball is in their court."

Coun. Chris Cummings explained that, as councillors, they have a responsibility to do something to address youth homelessness and need to come to grips with whether or not tiny homes would be allowed in the municipality.

"This is not something we're going to take lightly," said Coun. Dawn Quinn.

Mayor Shawn Pankow acknowledged that youth homelessness is a problem, and tiny homes may or may not be part of a solution.

"We're at the first inning of a nine-inning game," he said.

Borowiecki comes home to celebrate volunteers DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Taking the back roads to Smiths Falls through Ashton brought back a lot of good memories for Ottawa Senator Mark Borowiecki.

As the Senators' first homegrown player, the Kanata native is no stranger to Lanark County, having played two seasons for the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears, 2014 to 2016 - years he called "some of the best years of my life," both personally and professionally.

So it was fitting that he returned to town on Thursday, May 17, in part to congratulate the Smiths Falls Peewee Bears for winning the Brooke and Brittany Henderson Youth Award at the volunteer appreciation evening at the Station Theatre that night, serving as the guest speaker.

He commended the peewee players, telling them "you should be proud of yourselves. You're an amazing group of young men and women. It makes me proud to have worn the yellow and black."

Reflecting back on his own time in town, as soon as he arrived, "I instantly felt a connection with the Bears," said Borowiecki, after he had been introduced by Mayor Shawn Pankow, emerging as the surprise guest from the back of the theatre ("I'm more com-

fortable on the ice," than public speaking, he joked.)

"I was treated like a local," he said of his time in Smiths Falls. "I was coached by some amazing coaches," who taught him not only on-ice skills but also "how to handle myself off the ice too," to treat everyone with kindness and respect to people, "(to be) polite to everyone, say 'Hi,' to everyone ... no matter the hand they've been dealt in life, genuinely trying to be a good person, day in, day out."

One coach he singled out was Billy Bowker, who he said "treated me like a son. He was there for me."

Young sporting days He has been a die-hard fan since NHL-level hockey returned to Ottawa in 1992. He still has a stick signed by Alexi Yashin, and "I loved the Sens growing up," he said, going with his father to watch games at the old Ottawa Civic Centre. He first laced up skates at the age of four, skating on a home-made rink created by his dad. Other times, he remembered rollerblading in the family basement, munching on hot dogs his mom made, practicing his shooting.

But, even though he loved hockey, at a certain point in his teens, "I wasn't sure if I was going to do hockey," he said. He was even looking at attending the Royal Military College in Kingston instead of hockey at one point.

"Keep on trucking," he told the young players. "You never know what's going to happen."

When asked about being an enforcer on ice, he said that "I'd rather fight a big guy than someone smaller than me," and that, as a matter of pride, it was "better to drop your gloves and lose than talk about how tough you are," adding that when he did fight, he did it for his teammates.

But the fights do take their toll. After one fight during a game against the Edmonton Oilers, "I felt like I just fought a bear." He noted that he feeds off of "extra energy" of a rivalry game, when Ottawa takes on either the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Montreal Canadiens. His first NHL game was in San Jose, against the Sharks, and "it's pretty sweet," he said of playing in a warm climate at the SAP Centre. (He also gives high marks to the United Centre in Chicago and Amalie Stadium, home to the Tampa Bay Lightning.) See more on this story on our website: www.insideottawavalley.com

THE TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

POTABLE WATER STORAGE

The Town of Smiths Falls (the Town) is undertaking a planning process to assess alternative potable water storage solutions for the Town. While the Town’s potable water supply system has been operating in accordance with all applicable legislation and is achieving all required water quality standards, the Town does not currently meet potable water storage requirements as defined by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. Notwithstanding this, the Town’s current elevated potable water storage tank, at 90 years old, is in need of refurbishment or replacement and therefore the Town is in need of a solution that will address water storage constraints now and for the next 20 years and beyond.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Public consultation is a key component to this Study. The proposed consultation plan provides for a single Public Meeting to review the future servicing alternatives that are being considered as part of this project. This Public Information Centre will identify existing system constraints and potential alternative solutions. The ‘preferred alternative’ currently being considered envisions decommissioning the existing potable water storage tank and constructing a new elevated storage tank near the northeastern extents of Smiths Falls, ON, located at Air Care Drive.

The Public Information Centre is scheduled as follows: Date: Time: Location: Address:

Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Open House from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Smiths Falls Curling Club 13 Old Slys Road, Smiths Falls, ON

All those interested in the project are urged to attend. Project information will also be available to the public at the Municipal office and on the Town’s website, www.smithsfalls.ca.

Loving great grandmother of Kayda, Carter, Evangeline, Nicolas, Penelope, Genevieve, Imogen, Ethne, Victor, and Zidon. Donnie will also be remembered by her nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends. Donnie was born in Belleville Ontario on January 10, 1924.

She was the only daughter of Arthur and Margurite (Hutchings) Long. Donnie married Perry Everett on September 4, 1943 and celebrated 68 years of marriage before Perry passed away on May 20, 2012. Donnie graduated as a nurse from the Belleville General Hospital in May, 1944. After a short practice, Donnie and Perry started their family.

As Perry was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, Donnie (and family) traveled to many Armed Forces bases around the world before settling in the Ottawa area. They later retired and lived in Smith’s Falls, Ontario.

Donnie always had a strong focus on the family and would look forward to any large family get together where she enjoyed good meals, engaging conversations, and expressed strong opinions on whatever was the topic of the day. Parents set the stage that fosters the growth and the success of their children.

OBITUARY

STANLEY HUGH SEARLE 1917 - 2018 With the passing of Stanley Hugh Searle in his 101st year, we pause to celebrate an extraordinary person who lived his long life to its fullest.

Stan was born on June 26, 1917 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his parents Georgina Marion and Stanley Edwin Searle, his siblings Clayton “Chip” Searle, Minnedosa, Manitoba, Marion Wade, Brandon, Manitoba, Dorothy Sheldon, Brandon, Manitoba and Florence Barker,Regina, Saskatchewan. Stan is survived by three children from his twenty-five-year marriage to Grace Stanley: Dennis Searle (Maija) of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Ruth Misenko (Bob) of Hudson, Wisconsin and Margaret Hallatt (Doug) of Naples, Florida; six grandchildren, Toni Searle (Dawn) of Chemanus, British Columbia, Tiina Searle (Rob) of Ottawa, Ontario, Kai Rodgers (Matt) of Red Wing, Minnesota, Ian Misenko (Erika) of Pillager, Minnesota, Christopher Hallatt of San Diego, California, and Scott Hallatt of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; and, thirteen great grandchildren. Stan’s early years were spent in Rapid City and Brandon, Manitoba where he developed a love of farming through his Uncle Fred, of whom he was extremely fond. As a young man, Stan served Canada during World War II as a flight instructor with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Saskatchewan and overseas. Stan’s inquiring and active mind propelled him into higher education. He earned three university degrees: a B.A. at Brandon College (Brandon University), a B. Div. at United College (University of Winnipeg) and an M.A. in adult education at the University of Guelph.

Stan was ordained as a minister with the United Church of Canada. He was a charismatic preacher who loved singing the old hymns and helping people whatever their needs might be. Stan pastored churches in Nipigon, Ontario, Winnipeg, Manitoba and Brandon, Manitoba. He then served as the Principal of the Atlantic Christian Training Center (ACTC) in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. He also served as President of the Manitoba Conference of the United Church, which was a great privilege and honour for him. Stan became more than a fisher of men.

During his ministry at Nipigon, he fell in love with Lake Superior, boating and fishing. One of life’s pleasures was savouring a lunch of fresh lake trout, speckled trout or pickerel along the shores of Lake Superior or the smaller lakes in the region. Following his ministry, Stan took up farming, which is not surprising given his roots in rural Manitoba. His partner and helpmate in the farming operation was Donna Lorraine Patterson. They were married under the apple tree at their Clayton, Ontario farm in 1971. With much hard work and foresight, they introduced the first Charolais beef cattle in eastern Ontario. Stan took great pleasure in farming and loved it even more when his children, Dennis and Ruth, along with their families, visited and pitched in. Even through his later years, Stan maintained a twinkle in his eyes and a natural charm that put people at ease. He was a natural story teller who could fill the room with his presence. Stan was always grateful for the support of his wonderful helpmate Donna, his family, friends and neighbours. He truly appreciated the caring professionalism of a wonderful human being, Dr. Roger Drake and the loving care of the amazing staff at Stoneridge Manor nursing home in Carleton Place, Ontario. A private family celebration of Stan’s life will be held this summer. He will be remembered and missed.

BARRIE, Donald - In loving memory of Donald Barrie, May 23, 1930-May 29, 2002.

We can not think of them as dead, Who walk with us no more, Along the path of life we tread, They have but gone before.

Don’s weary hours and days of pain, His sleepless nights are past.

His ever-patient worn out frame, Has found sweet rest at last.

Wife Phyllis Donna and family BARRIE, Donald G.M. 1920-2002.

God took the strength of a mountain The majesty of a tree The warmth of summer sun The calm of a quiet sea The generous soul of nature The comforting arm of night The wisdom of the ages The power of eagle’s flight The joy of morning in spring The faith of a mustard seed The patience of eternity The depth of a family need Then God combined these qualities When there was nothing more to add He knew his Masterpiece was complete And so He called it...

Dad. Lovingly missed by daughter, Donna grandchildren Michael (Donna) Grant (Becky) Joshua and Ruth)

In loving memory of a dear husband, father, stepfather, grandfather and great-grandfather, who passed away June 4, 2017.

In tears we watched you sinking, And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again?

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day called you home.

Always loved Bernice and families

CRAIG, SHIRLEY ANN May 31/2017 In loving memory of my young bride and mother to our daughters.

Until we meet again.

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile.

If only I could have you back for just a little while.

Then we could sit and talk again, Just like we used to do, You always meant so much, And always will do too.

The fact that you’re no longer here, Will always cause me pain, But you’re forever in my heart, Until we meet again…

Miss you every day Daryl, Angela and Tracy

Natatia Gemmell puts the personal in personal fitness Functional Performance Fitness opened at the Settlers Ridge Centre this spring EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com Natatia Gemmell started getting serious about fitness nearly two decades ago.

Gemmell's journey into personal training had humble beginnings. She first started to offer personal training services out of her basement about 16 years ago after moving to Smiths Falls from Toronto.

Gemmell also worked as a trainer at GoodLife Fitness in Ottawa - a position she left when she was eight and a half months pregnant - about six years ago.

A after giving birth and caring for a newborn, Gemmell quickly realized that the commute into the city would be too much. So, she continued to see clients from home - juggling a baby and barbells.

"I have had a really great schedule of clientele there," she said. "It was perfect."

Gemmell continued to build her clientele at home until she took her training out of her home and opened Natatia's One on One Fitness three years ago, which operated out of the Gallipeau Centre until early this year.

Her next step: another move. This time to the Settlers Ridge Centre, where she opened up Functional Performance Fitness this spring.

"It's incredible because, you know, I've always wanted ... a space where I could work with all kinds of people," said Gemmell.

Gemmell said it's her many mentors along the way who have kept her going in her journey to help people through health and fitness. She credits her

Evelyn Harford/Metroland

Natatia Gemmell welcomes clients into her new fitness facility, Functional Performance Fitness, located at the Settlers Ridge Centre. husband, children, Todd Durkin, a personal trainer and life coach. But, said Gemmell, most of all she credits her clients as a source of inspiration.

Gemmell said she can recall one woman who came to see her when she was offering personal training out of her basement who, before they got to work, couldn't go down her steps.

"It was just amazing the things she could do just a couple years after seeing her," she said. "It just amazes me."

By the end of their sessions, the woman was doing box jumps without knee pain.

"These are the things that really inspire me," said Gemmell. "When I see that I can help someone like this, it just makes me enjoy my job more."

Another man, who came to see her when she was at the Gallipeau Centre, was on multiple different kinds of medication and struggled with various medical issues including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

He lost 50 pounds after nine months and his doctor took him off his medications, said Gemmell.

"These are the things that inspire me more, and want to help more people," she said.

Gemmell prides herself

on offering a space for all people to come and achieve their goals. The facility is wheelchair accessible and offers a variety of classes, services and memberships.

The 24-7 facility also offers child care during certain hours.

Gemmell said her staff doesn't try to sell you on a membership. Instead, they want to get to know you and figure out a plan that works for each individual.

"What we really want to do is get to know the member first," said Gemmell. "I believe in selling results, not sessions."

And, it's not just a place to get your sweat on - it's also a place where members can get other services too.

"I envision myself set up in a place where massage therapists, physiotherapists, are all working together under the same roof. I refer my clients to all of these health care practitioners all the time. And I see it's something that's needed here. My clients need them," she said. "It's a place for self-care - it's not just a gym."

Functional Performance Fitness is located at 275 Brockville St., Unit 14.

An open house will be held on Sunday, June 24, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
