COUNCIL

SMITHS FALLS COUNCIL VOTES IN FAVOUR OF AIR CARE DRIVE SITE AS PREFERRED LOCATION FOR NEW WATER TOWER EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Smiths Falls town council voted in favour of the preferred site - Air Care Drive - for the location of the new water tower to replace the current tower reaching the end of its 100-year lifespan.

The town embarked on looking for water storage solution that would adhere to potable water storage standards and accommodate growth in Smiths Falls.

To date the town has a significant shortage deficit, according to professional engineer, Mark Buchanan, with J.L. Richards, the engineering firm tasked with assessing water storage solutions in town. Buchanan made a

presentation to council on Tuesday, Sept. 4, after a public consultation was held in June. J.L. Richards assessed various options for locations, including the tower on Confederation Drive, Air Care Drive, and Second Street - adjacent to Atironto.

Cost estimate breakdown: Confederation Drive site: $5.7 to $6.8 million Air Care Drive site: $7.8 to $8.9 million Second Street site: $7.3 million to $8.4 million After questions from councillors about the cost difference, Troy Dunlop, the town's director of public works and utilities, explained that although the Air Care Drive site came in with the highest estimates, the project includes

upgrades to the water system that would be needed anyways. The site, according to J.L. Richards, was chosen as the preferred site because it is located away from residents and commercial areas. J.L. Richards noted that it would require system upgrades. In a previous presentation to council this spring, the firm noted that any other site - aside from the tower's current location - would require system upgrades.

J.L. Richards reported that the Confederation Drive site wasn't ideal because the town would have to contend with Parks Canada consultation if construction were to be completed near heritage sites and there would be residential impact form a

The new tower's size will be approximately the same height, but five times the volume of the current tower. Sarah Gore, also a professional engineer with J.L. Richards, explained that although the Confederation Drive site is the cheapest, it is not rec-

ommended because of its proximity to a heritage site and geotechnical concerns. Where the current tower stands is an old river bed that's filled in.

The future of the town's iconic water tower will be coming before council as a separate discussion item.

The public still has time

to voice concern about the project. This project will be subject to further discussion by council.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is encouraging the community to paint the town purple during the Month of September.

Not only is September Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, but Sept. 18 is Big Brothers Big Sisters Day. Angela Beaupre, program facilitator at BBBSLC, said they are in need of volunteers.

"We are encouraging the DBA and chamber to promote our campaign by decorating their window displays, and highlight the water tower in a purple spot light," she said in an email.

There are many ways to be a volunteer, including through the In-School Mentoring Program where one hour per week is spent with a child in school doing crafts, playing board games or just hanging out.

There are also traditional Big/Little matches and group mentoring options available.

n 1995 when Dillon (Little) and Stephen (Big) met, no one would have been able to predict the camaraderie and friendship that would exist today between these two. Now they are the best of friends, some 23 years later.

What started with building a go-cart out of a dump scrap lawn tractor (that went really fast) has turned into a lifelong friendship where Dillon and Stephen's families have been involved with and invested in one another's lives.

One of Dillon's greatest memories as a teenager was one of his first attempts of fishing and cleaning the sunfish that he caught with Stephen to provide dinner for the family. Unfortunately, Stephen's daughter was not nearly as impressed with Dillon's "cleaned" fish for dinner, Dillon recalls with laughter.

A love of building things has led to Stephen and Dillon most recently to building a full sized barn on Dillon's country property out of recycled materials.

"Dillon was and still is a very determined person, full of curiosity and a wonderful sense of humour. He is very capable and has the enviable ability to take something broken apart and put it back together fixed," Stephen said.

Stephen has enjoyed being a part of Dillon's life and knowing and interacting with Dillon's siblings, mom, and grandparents along the way. Stephen

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? PAD PREPPED FOR LAV III MONUMENT JUST THE FACTS The LAV III Afghan Veterans Memorial will find its home in Smiths Falls.

Jim Jenkins, president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95, said the pad for the monument has been readied, thanks to the work and donations of Chris Saumure, of Guy Saumure and Sons, as well as Rob Campbell, who he said is also helping to transport the monument to Smiths Falls.

The LAV III (light armoured vehicle) was to be delivered to town on Thursday, Sept.

6, and placed as a memorial to Afghanistan veterans, in front of the Gerry Lowe outdoor rink. As part of the project, $30,000 was raised.

• The dedication for the LAV III Afghan

Veterans Memorial will be held at the cenotaph on the corner of Cornelia and Elmsley streets Sunday, Sept. 16, at 2 p.m.

Following this ceremony, there will be a dedication to the men whose names have been added to the First World War monument: W. Singh, L. Singh and H. Horn.

• Students from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, through the Lest We Forget program, identified a number of people who enlisted in Smiths Falls but were not engraved on the cenotaph. Transportation will be available to travel from the LAV III dedication to the First World War cenotaph.

• A reception will follow at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95, at 7 Main St. E. • Veterans are asked to wear their medals; civilians are asked to wear business casual.

• RSVP by calling 613-283-2690 or emailing office95@cogeco.net.

If you haven't placed feeders out for the birds, you are missing a great part of our natural world. Your kids will enjoy bird watching as much as you and you help with a supply of feed during the harsh winter months.

Please visit gilligalloubird.com for a pleasant and helpful guide to getting started in this rewarding hobby, bird watching in you own backyard.

Back in June the photo contest winners were: Brian Bellevue, first; Steve Svarckopf, second; and tied for third, Marcia Phillips and Olivia Emms.

The topic for September is "Picture of a Sunflower." The sunflower is the adopted flower of our society. The winning photo will be featured on the cover of the 2019 yearbook so bring in your best photo this month, or send it with a friend if you can't attend.

In October bring in your photo of "Fall's Beautiful Colours" for the final photo contest of the year.

Our official judged

flower show takes place this month. Please see pages 12 and 13 in the yearbook for the numerous classes including a variety of cut flowers, vegetables and three classes of design. Please place your entries by 7 p.m. to be in the show. We have ordered 10 copies of the revised Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards for Horticulture and Design. A long title for the little book we rely on as a guideline when entering flower shows in all venues. These will be available for purchase once we receive them. If you don't have a yearbook, ask for help at smithsfalls@gardenontario.org.

Another member's garden tour took place in July and we were treated to some wonderful surprises in some of the "hidden gardens," back yards that are not viewable from the street. All of the gardens visited were marvellous works of art that have evolved over a number of years.

This meeting is the last call for the bus trip to Spindle tree Gardens in Tamworth. We need a minimum of 21 for this trip to take place. Many have signed up but have not paid so there is a chance that the trip will be cancelled. The trip is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 22.

Please see Lorna or ask

any of the members of the board you see at the various tables. This is a wonderful place to visit for a final outing this fall.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION CLASS ‘B’ MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT In the Town of Smiths Falls Potable Water Storage September 6, 2018

PUBLIC NOTICE The Town of Smiths Falls has completed a Class Environmental Assessment Study to assess alternative potable water storage solutions for the Town. Currently, the Towns potable water system provides water to a population of approximately 8,980 people within the Town and the Atironto Subdivision (Township of Montague).

The completed Phase 2 Report (Report) documents the planning process of the study. By this notice, the Report is being placed on public record for a 30-day review period in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA. The Report identifies a new elevated water tower located off Air Care Drive as the preferred potable water storage solution to service the Town.

Based on an evaluation of the planning and design alternatives, and considering public and agency input, the recommended plan includes constructing a new elevated water tower in a Town owned vacant parcel of land located off of Air Care Drive. In addition, a mixing system, secondary disinfection, instrumentation level monitoring and water distribution system upgrades are required to support operation of the new elevated water tower.

OPINION EDITORIAL

COMMUNITY NEWS IN THE DIGITAL AGE What is the role of a community newspaper in 2018?

This is a question we take seriously here at Metroland, where we pride ourselves in our dedication to bringing the communities we live and work in news that is important to them.

We're finding that certain kinds of stories that were relevant 20-plus years ago are no longer so due to technological advances like smartphones and social media platforms.

For example, our papers have traditionally covered high school graduations and first days of school. But lately we've been asking ourselves if this sort of coverage is really the best way to serve our communities?

Anyone with a Facebook account knows to expect their feed flooded with all their friends' kids' adorable back-to-school photos every year on the first day of school.

Everyone who knows and cares about each of these kids will see and appreciate these photos. Would a reporter's time not be better served digging deeper into issues that impact the community as a whole?

Analytics also tell us that people care about local business stories, but not necessarily the kind that have traditionally been covered by community papers.

Readers want to know about good local places to eat and if a new kind of store is coming to town; they care less about ribbon cuttings and cheque presentations.

Perhaps once again, technology is a factor.

Most businesses have their own Facebook pages these days, and if the owner wants to hand a huge cheque to a local charity, they can tell the world about it themselves via social media.

The same can be said of sports coverage. What purpose does it serve for your local paper to recap games and list scores when most leagues and teams have their own websites and social media pages that do the exact same thing?

We're confident that if a local team or athlete has a good story to tell, this is indeed best handled by one of our trained journalists.

But in terms of the day-to-day reports, does it really serve anyone for us to be "competing" with, say, the Smith Falls Bears' Facebook page?

Times change, and like every other industry, we must change with them. One thing remains the same, however, and that is our dedication is to factual, relevant reporting.

Our role as a trusted news source is not something we take lightly, and our goal will always be to bring our readers stories and information that are important to them.

Times change, and like every other industry, we must change with them.

WHO WE ARE

CANDIDATE CO-ORDINATION CAN BE FRUSTRATING AT TIMES THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column

Well, a few weeks ago, Ashley Kulp (fellow news editor) and I sent out emails to some 150-plus election candidates requesting answers to those burning questions: Why should we vote for you? Who are you, and how are you going to make a difference?

We also asked for a photo. Easy stuff, we thought.

Sound familiar? I do hope so. If you have already sent in your info, thank you!

If you haven't, it's not too late. Deep breath!

I do need to apologize. I forgot Montague participants, so there is a new deadline - Sept. 16, 4:30 p.m.

For everyone!

We have a love-hate relationship with this election process. We are tasked with collecting these tidbits and photos, editing them, and colour correcting the photos. We then package and send them to our pagination team for publication.

We had a deadline of Sept. 7; but of course, that is not the real deadline. No siree. We have extended that now for a variety of challenging reasons.

Some of the excuses for missing deadlines are hysterical!

• "As you can appreciate, I have just been so busy..."

(Not sure what to say in response.)

• "Is this photo OK?" - (In comes a screengrab png.

Oh, did I mention there were five people in the photo, so the headshot of the candidate is going to be the size of a postage stamp.)

• "I know how important deadlines are..." (No, clearly you don't, but it gets bet-

ter). "I work for a newspaper." (Brilliant, so you DO know the importance of deadlines.)

• "I don't have a photo..."

(Great, we can insert a cat picture.)

• "I am not good at computing..." (Perfect, you may want to get up to speed before elected to office.)

• "Can I get an extension, please?" (Sure, why not.

Our deadlines are not that important.)

• Five consecutive emails from one person with changes in each one. (Ugh.) • Anything but word documents and jpg files.

We are hoping to have our special election section out in a couple of weeks.

FLOODWATERS ENTER BUSINESSES TAI CHI CLASSES TO START AT GALLIPEAU CENTRE IN DOWNTOWN SMITHS FALLS EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com As the heavy, swift rains fell over Smiths Falls on Sunday, Sept. 2, the flood waters began to rise - even entering some buildings.

Trish Krotki, who recently purchased Sweet Scoops, located at 1 Chambers St., experienced floodwaters entering her business.

Krotki wasn't at the store when the floodwaters rose.

"My staff called the store manager in a panic as waves were cresting the curb," she said. "It was crazy, and we have a video."

Krotki said because of the flooding they had to tear up the floors to dry the subfloor to prevent mould growth. Fortunately, she said, the floors in the building they lease were salvageable and could be laid back down, adding that although they do have insurance for such events, they did not make a claim as their deductible was $10,000.

"With the increase in the incidence of flooding combined with climate change, insurance companies have raised deductibles for flood calls," she said.

And while Krotki said it seems that this was a case of system overwhelm rather than failure, she does question if the garbage in the grate played a role in the drain sewers not being able to take the water away

Facebook/Dave Pringle Flooding pictured on Chambers Street in Smiths Falls on Sunday, Sept. 2. quick enough - suggesting that perhaps a more frequent street cleaning program needs to be implemented.

Krotki pointed out that this may not be the first time such an even has happened on this corner.

"I feel that weather like this is happening more and more, and perhaps our municipalities should design for the climate change that is coming," she said.

Troy Dunlop, the town's public works and utilities director, credits the flooding that occurred in Smiths Falls on Sept. 2 to the "intense rains," reporting at a special committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 4, that the town experienced complete flooding across the streets on Queen Street, on the Chambers street subway, the Old Mill Road and Chambers Street

in the downtown core.

"In the case of Chambers Street, we understand that floodwaters rose to the point that they did enter front doors of some businesses," he said. "We were called to assess those drainage systems that day.

Our staff went out, and all the drains were functioning adequately; there were no blockages. By all accounts, the intensity of that rainfall was in excess of the capabilities of the existing system."

Dunlop said the town has heard some public comments about the existing infrastructure that was installed on Beckwith Street in particular the storm outfall and the stormwater treatment unit.

"I want to remind the committee those pieces of infrastructure are not yet put in service," he said.

COUNCIL

11

EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Council voted in favour of an updated code of conduct, including procedures surrounding the newly appointed integrity commissioner procedure.

In accordance with Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act, Bill 68, codes of conduct for members of council are no longer discretionary. According to a report prepared by Kerry Costello, the town's clerk and director of corporate services, Smiths Falls has a code of conduct for members of council and local boards dating back to 2004.

A refresh was mandatory to ensure adherence with Bill 68.

The code of conduct got a refresh with the guidance of the newly appointed integrity commissioner. In March 2018, Smiths Falls council authorized the appointment of Cunningham, Swan, Carty, Little & Bonham, led by Tony Fleming, as the integrity commissioner for the Town of Smiths Falls.

The new code of conduct high-

lights confidentiality, general conduct of council members and local board members. Not only does it cover conduct at meetings but also at public events.

"It goes into great detail about conflict of interest and how members of council need to determine whether they have a direct or indirect pecuniary interest," said Costello. "It gives council an avenue to seek direction on matters relating to conflict of interest declarations."

Council members can use the integrity commissioner to help them determine how, or if they need to declare of conflict of interest.

The new code of conduct also outlines communications and media relations, what members should and shouldn't say when communicating with the media.

Costello explained to councillors that they are to communicate with council's message in mind, not their own message in mind.

The code of conduct also goes into detail about interactions with staff, and how you interact with members of the public - di-

recting them to the appropriate staff person for remedies of issues. It outlines guidelines on gifts and hospitality.

It also outlines the role of the newly appointed integrity commissioner, that operates independently from council. Having an integrity commissioner is new for the town. An integrity commissioner is a neutral, independent officer appointed to town council to encourage and oversee compliance with high standards of conduct expected of elected and appointed officials.

An integrity commissioner works as a watchdog and can investigate instances where there has been a suspected conflict of interest, improper use of influence, or arranging private affairs in a way that promotes public confidence.

Costello explained that if someone believes a member of council has breached the code they can go forward with the request of a complaint and investigation. There is an informal procedure, where someone can deal with the issue by a conversation

between the parties and a formal complaint procedure.

Coun. Joe Gallipeau questioned what the rush was to put the new code of conduct forward at this time and felt that they should leave it up to the new council to look at this issue. Gallipeau also raised concern about the policy - stressing that anyone should have the right to have legal counsel present if a complaint was made about them.

"If someone accuses you of something you should be able to have representation," he said.

Costello reported that anyone would have the right to have legal representation at any time.

Mayor Shawn Pankow questioned why the town would want to wait to approve the new code of conduct.

"It's well overdue," he said. "I don't see any reason why we would want to wait."

However, Pankow pointed out a concern with the fee associated with making a complaint, asking if the full fee of $150 to lodge a complaint could be refunded if the claim is found to be valid. He acknowledged there needs to be a fee to avoid frivolous complaints but felt as long as the complaint was found to be warranted, the money should be refunded. The full refund was agreed to by

council so long as the complaint was valid. The draft policy had stated that 50 per cent of the fee would be refunded in the case of a valid complaint. If a complaint is found to be invalid, the fee will not be refunded.

"We don't want it to be a witch hunt," said Coun. Chris Cummings. Cummings said by providing a more streamlined approach, it may allow people who have concerns to bring them forward.

Cummings said he's had dozens of complaints, including some "serious allegations" from the public this period of council.

"I've always offered them some advice, but when they saw what they had to go through it seems so cumbersome, they dropped it."

The new term of council will be trained with the new code of conduct.

In the end, all members of council voted in favour of the new code of conduct, during a recorded vote, at a council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 4, aside from Cummings who did not vote as he was absent from the meeting.To view the draft code of conduct visit https://www.smithsfalls.ca/media/2018/08/CouncilCode-of-Conduct-for-Membersof-Council-on-Local-Boards.pdf.

COMMUNITY

SUPERWALK SURPASSES LAST YEAR'S TOTAL LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com In just its second year in Perth, the Parkinson SuperWalk Lanark County has raised more than its inaugural season of $31,000 with over 100 people taking part.

"We have already surpassed that," said cochair Pat Evans, as she greeted the few hundred people who came out to participate in the walk from Conlon Farm in Perth. On Monday, Evans said that nearly $39,000 was raised.

"The fact that this event is gaining momentum speaks to the need for, as well as the impact of, new services and programs," said Evans.

"Since last year's walk, new volunteers have come forward and more services are available locally. These include exercise programs, the creation of a new support group in Smiths Falls and educational workshops for health care professionals. As a result, people feel a new sense of hope that they can manage and live well with this disease."

Gayle Truman, the other co-chair of the event,

noted that Evans had been recognized as Parkinson Canada's SuperWalk National Hero.

"If it wasn't for Pat, I wouldn't be here today," Truman told the crowd.

Both women have Parkinson's disease.

Evans, when accepting accolades from her friend, said there were no words. She just hugged her friend, saying that if Truman was not in Evans' life, she wouldn't be here today either.

The national contest celebrates "everyday heroes" whose extraordinary hope fuels SuperWalk in communities across Canada. One must be nominated to be considered, and the winner is chosen from nominations from across the country.

Truman nominated Evans for the honour.

In a previous story shared about this honour, Evans said: "I have always believed that one person can make a difference but what has kept me going are those who face many more challenges than me with such grace. They are the true heroes."

Many enjoyed the cooler September temperatures to take in the walk some going as little or as

far as they could.

For Almonte friends, Gerda Franssen and Faye Strong, coming to Perth has been great over the past two years.

Strong lost her brother, and brother-in-law to Parkinson's disease, and as she said: "I'll walk as long as I can. I do seven kilometres for each one - so I'll do 14 kilometres today."

Don McNaughton, a retired general who has Parkinson's, was surrounded by his family for the journey. Even his granddaughter Mary donned her SuperWalk cape and mask for the walk.

And for Cathy Lamport, also inflicted with Parkinson's, she was at the walk to support everyone who has the disease.

"I can't walk like I used to," she said. "Some days are better than others. I did too much volunteering with the committee already today, so I don't think I will be able to walk much."

Some 20 volunteers helped with the SuperWalk, and special guests included mayors from across Lanark County: Perth's John Fenik welcomed participants and guests to the town, while greetings were brought from Smiths Falls' Shawn Pankow, Westport's Robin Jones, and Carleton Place's Louis Antonakos.

Patricia Boal of CTV News was the MC for the event.

"The weather, the peo-

ple and the money raised made for a perfect day," said Evans. "But it's the things that have happened between the SuperWalks that I'm most encouraged about. The connections we make, and the hope that results are what it's all about. We made real progress this year and I feel confident that we can continue to do so in the year to come."

Over 100,000 Canadians are affected by this disease and many are not even aware that they have Parkinson's. Some are reluctant to discuss their concerns with their doctors. Doctors may not be aware of some of the less obvious symptoms like loss of smell or unexplained weight change or services, programs and strategies that can help.

Other symptoms of this chronic and progressive disease can include muscle rigidity, tremor and depression.

"Awareness, support networks and access to care close to home can make a huge difference in people's lives, particularly in rural areas," said Evans. "I want to thank my co-chair Gayle Truman and the rest of the committee, our sponsors and our volunteers for making this event possible and for bringing hope to people living with Parkinson's."

'SOUNDS OF SCOTLAND' SHOW AT PERTH LEGION TO HELP GORDON PIPE BAND RAISE FUNDS FOR MUCH-NEEDED EQUIPMENT Smiths Falls Gordon Pipe Band is proud to present Sounds of Scotland, an Evening of Celtic Entertainment, featuring entertainers A.J. & Andy. This duo has been delighting audiences throughout the region for many years. A.J. (A.J. Benoit) is one of Brockville area's premier entertainers, performing to sellout crowds most everywhere he performs.

Aside from his singing abilities, he writes and produces his own shows and musical productions. His last four shows at the Brockville Arts Centre, which seats more than 700 people, have been sold out.

Andy (Laura AndersonBrick), from Kingston, is also well-known in the music community. She is an

accomplished accordionist and has played in many musical groups, including Back Swing, The Celtic Kitchen Party and The Blarney Show Band (another Celtic group created

by A.J.) Together, this dynamic duo perform all of the traditional Irish and Scottish songs that are crowd favourites and requested where ever they go. Songs such as Danny Boy, The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen, Galway Bay, Lilli The Pink, and many more. In keeping with A.J.'s character, there will be a few comedic moments and chuckles along the way.

The show will also feature The Smiths Falls Gordon Pipe Band playing a handful of traditional pipe

band tunes.

The Smiths Falls Gordon Pipe & Drum Band was formed in 1996 and since 2002 has been led by Pipe Major Steve Brooke. A.J. Benoit is the band's drum major. The band is a strong community organization with a focus on fun, camaraderie and quality of performance. The band performs at competitions and parades throughout eastern Ontario. They are a not-for-profit organization and do not have any sponsors. All band members donate their time.

This show is a fundraising event for the Gordon Pipe Band, and funds will go toward purchasing much-needed equipment and uniforms, which are very costly items. So come

on out and help support this worthwhile group so they can continue entertaining the community and surrounding area.

The performance will take place Saturday, Sept.

29, from 7 to 9 p.m. at The Royal Canadian Legion Perth-Upon-Tay Branch 244. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

There will also be share the wealth and light refreshments. Tickets can be purchased at the following locations: Irish-Scot-Tish-Shop, 39 Foster St., Perth; Baker Bobs, 73 Little Bridge St., Almonte; and Smiths Falls Community Centre. For further information, please contact: Patti Webster, 613-283-8119, or donna.tugnett@outlook.com

Laurie Weir/Metroland Robert Montpetit of Whitby made a weekend of it in Merrickville so he could hit the 24th annual Eastern Ontario Postcard Show on Sept. 8. The Northern Ontarian historian found some great cards to add to his some 20,000 piece collection. There were 17 dealers from around Ontario offering their goods for sale during the event, that took place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the community centre.

MERRICKVILLE'S POSTCARD SHOW IS A HIT FOR COLLECTORS The 23rd annual Eastern Ontario Postcard Show brought in 17 dealers from Ontario and Quebec for a day-long show at the Merrickville Community Centre.

It was free day for those who dropped by, complete with free coffee and snacks.

Hosted by the Eastern Ontario Postcard Club, a steady stream of collectors and the curious alike

stopped into the show that took place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It was a great get-away for Whitby's Robert Montpetit, who enjoys collecting postcards and the postal history of Northern Ontario.

"It's easy to drop one or two grand at this event," said the man who professes to have a photographic memory - albeit only at about 70 per cent these days.

"I remember what cards I have, and it's always exciting to find ones that I don't."

Monpetit has some 20,000 cards that he has collected over the past 50 years ago. His passion started with stamps, then to coins, and to paper money. He settled on postcards and has been hooked ever since, he said.

"This is a great show," he said.

"There are always interesting cards and people who share the same passion. Folks come for miles around to this event."

For London, Ontario's Snadra Fischer, it was her first time at the show. She was here in her brotherin-law's spot - Frank Hoyles.

"Frank is at another show closer to Toronto, so I came here," she said. "It's an interesting event."

in the midst of the HIV/ AIDS epidemic.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the campaign in 2006 to raise awareness, funds, and build solidarity among grandmothers in order to better understand and continue the important work being done at the grassroots level to turn the tide of AIDS in Africa.

Since 2006, the Grassroot Grannies have raised $550,230 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation through annual events like the Ride to Turn the Tide.

For the 9th consecutive year, the Grassroot Grannies embarked on their 260km Ride to Turn the Tide through the Ottawa Valley from Sept. 5 to Sept.

7. The group consisted of 22 cyclists and four support personnel, visiting Almonte, Perth, Merrickville and Metcalfe.

Along their way, the grannies made their usual stop at Merrickville United

Church on Sept. 6for lunch.

Nancy Hough, granny and one of the main organizers of the ride, said the group was about half way through their journey by the time they hit Merrickville.

"We're doing about 115 kilometres today, and I think we're at around 57 kilometres."

Their fundraising goal started at $60,000 this year, which had already reached over $69,000 by the time they stopped for lunch. "It's crazy," said Hough. "We've raised our goal from $60,000 to $65,000 and then to $70,000."

At the end of their journey, the grannies had raised a grand total of $70,895.08.

The Grassroot Grannies are one of over 240 "granny groups" across Canada, in support of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. Every group is independent and organizes its own fundraising initiatives.

"We have three annual events; a plant sale in the spring that's been going for 12 years, the Ride to Turn the Tide in its ninth year, and our Book Sale and Breakfast Buffet which we've been doing for 8 years," said Hough.

The ride took off from Bushtukah, the event's major sponsor, at its Kanata location and ended at Bushtukah on Richmond Road in Westboro.

Some new stops that the group has added to their bike ride in the past two years are at Bayview Public and Carleton Heights Public elementary schools in Ottawa.

"In the spring, during education week, we teach the kids about supporting other countries and the importance of grandmothers and older people keeping fit," said Hough. "Then, we cycle by in the fall with balloons on our bikes and the kids ask us all kinds of questions. They're really

cute. Some of them are concerned about where we sleep, and others want to know if we all ride carbon fibre bikes," she laughed.

Funds raised through the Grassroot Grannies' efforts go directly to projects that enable grandmothers in Africa to support their orphaned grandchildren.

"It might be to help them become entrepreneurs, or teaching sewing lessons so that they can sew uniforms, for example," said Hough.

The Grassroot Grannies are mainly from the Kanata area. Nine grannies cycled this year, accompanied by friends, family, support people, and other avid cyclists from local communities.

"We've stopped here for lunch every year, and they always have fabulous soup," Hough said while enjoying her lunch in Merrickville.

An investigation into potential incidents of workplace harassment among Merrickville-Wolford staff and council is currently underway, carried out by the municipality itself.

A press release from the Village of MerrickvilleWolford, dated Sept. 5, states that the investigation is necessary in order to comply with the requirements of provincial legislation and corporate policy.

Cited within the release is part 32.0.7 (1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, as follows: "To protect a worker from workplace harassment, an employer shall ensure that, (a) an investigation is conducted into incidents and complaints of workplace harassment that is appropriate in the circumstances."

The release also states that members of staff and council will not be com-

menting further, as confidential personnel matters are involved.

This is the most recent news that the Advance has received from the municipality since it was announced on July 24 that a police investigation was launched into the public distribution of unwarranted recordings of staff conversations.

The recordings, found on USB drives and CDs, were anonymously dropped off at homes in the area, as well as delivered by mail.

The investigations follow a series of sudden changes in staff at the municipality, including the resignation of its chief administrative officer (CAO), John Reagan, on May 21 after he took an extended leave of absence for personal reasons in January.

Former treasurer, Sheila Kehoe, also vacated her position in January. Both Reagan and Kehoe had been employed by the mu-

nicipality for less than two years.

To fill the positions, the municipality hired retired United Counties of Leeds and Grenville director of corporate services and treasurer, Nigel White, on a part-time basis as interim CAO/clerk, beginning Jan. 29.

White resigned on Feb. 13, and a resolution was passed during that evening's council meeting to hire interim CAO/clerk, Arie Hoogenboom of A&B Municipal Solutions. Hoogenboom commenced his duties on Feb. 15 on a parttime basis and completed his consulting work with the village on June 29.

Douglas J. Robertson was hired as CAO/clerk/ economic development director on a one-year contract, beginning July 5.

Robertson has worked as chief administrative officer (CAO)/clerk for a small municipality and as an executive officer to the CAO in a major Ontario city.

COMMUNITY

THREE TIME OLYMPIAN, MEAGHAN MIKKELSON, VISITS SMITHS FALLS LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com It was a fitness and motivational morning for those waiting to see three-time Olympian Meaghan Mikkelson, who visited Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on Sunday, Sept.

9.

"This is a great facility," she said as she was preparing to lead kids and adults alike in some virtual training with boldr fitness.

Mikkelson has been playing hockey since she was six. Her father, Bill, played for three NHL teams in the 1970s and brother Brendan won the 2007 Memorial Cup with the Vancouver Giants.

Currently, 33 and five months pregnant with her second child, Mikkelson said she's not done yet.

She is aiming for the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, and says it's a hectic training schedule but manageable with her "awesome

husband" and sister helping her with child care.

Mikkelson, a Saskatchewan native now living in Calgary, AB., is a defender for Team Canada and earned a gold medal in 2010 in Vancouver. It was a second gold-medal performance in Socchi four years later, but Team Canada fell to the Americans in 2018 in Pyeung Chang's gold medal match.

"Silver is a little different taste than gold," she said. "But it had a different meaning for me and I tried to keep it in perspective as I was just coming back from maternity leave."

Her best Olympic experience was her first appearance in 2010.

"Winning gold in Vancouver was amazing, and on home soil, there is no feeling like it,"she said.

In Socchi, 2014, she broke her hand, but it was frozen by her doctor so she could continue to play.

As a spokesperson for

boldr, Mikkelson inspires people around the world to reach for their goals and dream big.

"I'm really excited to be here with all of you guys today," she told the group after being introduced by boldr co-founders Leslie Richardson and Jessica Lawton.

"Training is definitely something that I am super super passionate about," Mikkelson said.

"The amount we train with hockey and being on the Olympic team you have to be passionate about training and fitness to do what I do. But working out is such a huge part of my life and a huge part of what I do, that there is absolutely no way I would be where I am today without dedication and the work that I have put into it."

Mikkelson spoke of her three Olympics and seven world championships.

"In the midst of all that life happened for me," she

said, "I got married, my husband and I bought a house, and I became a mom for the first time. Over the course of my career I have really learned the importance of looking after my body and training. After these last Olympics in Pyeong Chang, and that heartbreaking loss to the Americans, and with the baby due in January, I was asked if I was going to retire."

She said many people assumed that she would hang up her skates, "but the answer that I gave them is that I'm not done yet."

One of the main reasons for that, she said is because she's the strongest and fittest she's ever been in her entire life.

"Physically on the ice I am able to play my best hockey," she said. "I just learned how important taking care of my body has been."

She said that something her mom told her as a little girl has stuck with her.

"Mom told me that if something was easy to get, it's not worth having, and I really believe that. I've been lucky to be part of a team and in a team sport."

She thanks her teammates for their support over the years and their motivation.

"My teammates hold me accountable and my trainers have the knowledge and the science behind what we're doing to put us through the paces to ensure we're the best we can be on the ice."

Mikkelson said she enjoys being part of boldr and coming out to do this event.

"I know how important it is for that sense of community and to know that person next to you is pushing themselves as hard as you are. It's super powerful to have that group."

Following her chat with everyone in upstairs hall, Mikkelson and boldr trainers led the group in some off-ice training and prize giveaways. There was some photos taken with Mikkelson and her medals, along with autograph signing.

The morning ended with a skate, which was open to the public and free of charge for all.

Laurie Weir/Metroland Three-time Olympian Meaghan Mikkelson was in Smiths Falls Sunday, Sept. 9 for a meet, greet, and skate. Here she signs an autograph for Rebecca Coulter; centre, the group works out to virtual trainers with boldr fitness; Mikkelson meets Mayor Shawn Pankow.

The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is hosting Diana BeresfordKroeger, scientist and acclaimed author, at its Oct. 3 meeting, to speak about her experience and mission related in the documentary Call Of The Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom Of Trees.

In anticipation of her visit, the society is also sponsoring a free Sept. 30 public screening of this film on how the science and enchantment of the global forest provide us with answers to the critical dilemma of climate change.

Released two years ago, the film follows BeresfordKroeger around the world as she investigates our profound biological and spiritual connection to forests. She explores the most beautiful forests in the Northern Hemi-

sphere, from the sacred sugi and cedar forests of Japan to the great boreal forest of Canada.

She shares the amazing stories behind the history and legacy of these ancient forests while also explaining the science of trees and the irreplaceable roles they play in protecting and feeding the planet.

Along the way we meet some of the world's foremost experts in reforestation.

Dr. Akira Miyawaki, a worldwide specialist in the restoration of natural forest systems on degraded land, shows us how a native forest system can be planted even in the smallest street corner of Tokyo.

Dr. Bill Libby, a pioneer in the field of forest tree genetics, tells us about the impacts of climate change on the California coast's

redwood and giant sequoia forests. Since 2002, Andrew St. Ledger, founder of The Woodland League in Ireland, has dedicated his life to restoring native woodlands in Ireland.

We also meet the Anishinaabe people of Pimachiowin Aki, who are working to make 33,400 square kilometres of boreal forest in Canada a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beresford-Kroeger shows how trees provide food, create medicine, and, most importantly, provide life-giving oxygen. Without trees and their ability to capture carbon dioxide, our living, breathable atmosphere on Earth would cease to exist.

Trees are the most important living organisms on this planet we call home,

chemically affecting our environment more than anything else, and playing a vital role in sustaining all life. Trees are the lifeline of the planet and the key to reversing climate change.

Call of the Forest is a call to look back in time and imagine our continents blanketed with forests. As human society developed, we have lost upwards of 95 per cent of the world's forests, and we continue to lose more than 140 square kilometres of forest per day. Only five per cent of the world's old

meeting is at Portland Community Hall, 24 Water St. Refreshments and social time begin at 6:45 p.m., with the meeting starting at 7:15 p.m.

Admission is free for members and $5 for guests. The annual membership fee is $15, and guest admissions count toward the annual fee.

Beresford-Kroeger's books will be available for purchase at the meeting.

For further information, contact Marsha Ferguson at 613-273-8557 or marferg@aol.com, or the society's president, Virginia Bourget, at 613-4891122 or vbourget@hotmail.com.

RIDEAU LAKES HORTICULTURE SOCIETY TO SPEAK TO CLIMATE CHANGE AT OCTOBER MEETING

growth native forests currently remains.

Call of the Forest is a call for immediate action on a global scale. At its heart, it is a story of triumph, proposing a simple strategy for each of us to combat climate change by planting trees in our own yards and communities.

As Beresford-Kroeger says, "Climate change is happening. What can we do about it? It will start with a shovel and an acorn, but we might just change the world."

The free screening of the documentary will take place on Sunday, Sept. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Elgin Municipal Complex, 47 Main St. Refreshments will be available by freewill donation.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ON

STRONGMAN KICKS OFF SEASON OF BLUES ON THE RIDEAU Juno Award winner Steve Strongman kicks off the 14th season of Blues On The Rideau at The Cove Inn, Westport Sept. 28 Richard Amery from L.A. Beat magazine has called Steve Strongman his "new favourite Canadian bluesman ... a hidden treasure everyone should discover".

This wonderfully talented guitarist/ singer/songwriter from "The Hammer" (Hamilton, Ontario) has achieved some very impressive recognition since he started his Blues career 11 years ago: three of his six albums have been nominated for Juno Awards and he won in 2013 for "A Natural Fact".

He's also been nominated for, and won, multiple Hamilton Music Awards and Maple Blues Awards including Guitarist, Songwriter and Album of the Year. And he's a fantastic, high-energy entertainer - a true showman.

This marks Steve's 6th visit to The Cove - the fourth with his band and he's appeared twice solo acoustic. He's the perfect choice to kick off the 2018/ 19 season - the 14th year for this very popular Dinner & Show Fundraiser Series one of the best of its kind in Canada.

BOTR has nine shows this season, once a month from September to May (December excluded). All of the bands are truly some of Canada's best and it's such a treat to see talent this good in the intimate up-close-and-personal setting at The Cove. This season of BOTR is dedicated to the memory of my wife and partner in BOTR Diane Leduc Doran who died last November from liver disease.

Visit www.BluesOnTheRideau.ca for dates, details, Bios and YouTubes of the artists. For info on The Cove visit www.coveinn.com

Submitted/Steve Strongman Steve Strongman will headline Sept. 28 at The Cove in Westport during the Blues on the Rideau series kick-off.

Tickets are only $65 (plus HST) and that includes a delicious full course buffet dinner, dancing, door prizes and a

chance to win a couple of major prizes at the end of the season. All shows run 7 to 11 p.m.

All BOTR shows are

fundraisers for different local charities. Proceeds from this one goes to The Ruby Gland Charity. To date over $68K has been

raised by BOTR with the goal of at least another $5K for this season.

Advance reservations are required - call The Cove at 613-273-3636 or email info@coveinn.com - and since this Series has become so popular it is highly recommended that people book well in advance especially if they need overnight accommodation. All of The Cove rooms fill up quickly for BOTR nights as well as nearby B&Bs and the local motel.

Please say hello to handsome Vigorous, who was brought into LAWS at the age of two weeks, orphaned and alone. A LAWS volunteer took him into foster and fed him until he was able to eat on his own.

He earned is name because of his hearty appetite. Now, almost three months old, Vigorous is playful, enjoys playing with other cats, is inquisitive and purrs as vigorously as he eats!

He is ready to find his forever home from his foster home in Perth. Should you be interested in meeting him then please leave us a Facebook message or call the shelter with your phone number and the foster mom will call you to set up a meet and greet.

tractive black beauty is always ready for play time but prefers to have her paws on the ground. She likes to sit next to you for much appreciated affection.

Melita is good with the other cats in her room and would welcome a loving home.

OPINION

HARD TO BELIEVE BUT HOCKEY SEASON UNDERWAY JEFF MAGUIRE ENCOURAGES FANS TO SUPPORT THIS HIGH LEVEL OF CCHL PLAY ACTION. JEFF MAGUIRE Column

On a sweltering Labour Day weekend the hockey season - yes hockey, already - began in our region. I realize hockey is a yearround business in this country.

But I am talking about league hockey and the beginning of a brand new regular season.

The Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) held its annual 'Fall Showcase' an event that ran for three days at Bell Sensplex in Kanata. Seems awfully early but the 12 team Jr. A league runs a long campaign that doesn't conclude until mid-March.

This year they partnered with the HEO Midget AAA league to organize a season-opening extravaganza that featured 36 total games.

The reason for so many contests in one arena complex is to give

scouts an opportunity for an early look at the talent available in both the CCHL and the Midget AAA loop. More than 150 scouts from the National Hockey League, National Collegiate Athletic Association, the three Major Jr. A leagues and other related sports programs closely watched the action.

The Eastern Ontario-based CCHL features fast, entertaining hockey. I have been following and promoting the league for many years now and the only negative in my opinion is the lack of coverage the league receives from the daily media in this region. Admittedly in the midst of the fast changing internet era the mainstream me-

dia has taken a big hit. Contraction across the board means the media's ability to cover many things, including amateur sports, has suffered badly.

A good case in point is the recent Junior Club World Cup which was played in Sochi, Russia Aug. 18-26. An all-star team from the CCHL had the honour of representing Canada in the eightteam event played in the same facilities as the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The CCHL squad, nicknamed 'Ottawa Capitals' for the purposes of the competition, won third place bronze medals with a thrilling 2-1 shootout win over Red Bull Salzburg of Austria.

I didn't read or hear anything about the tournament in the daily media, either before, during or after the competition. I think that's sad considering the size of the growing Ottawa and eastern Ontario market!

Fortunately the community media, including this newspaper, did cover the tournament and they also follow the CCHL and other local sports throughout the season.

That aside I have been asked by loyal fans of the league and readers how the CCHL shapes up this season.

I'm not big on predictions! But I do think the results from the sea-

son opening Fall Showcase (Sept.

1-3) in Kanata provide some indication. Carleton Place Canadians, who just missed out on a fifth consecutive league championship last spring, falling to arch rival Ottawa Junior Senators, went 3-0 in the recent showcase event. Their three victories in as many days included a 3-1 opening game decision over the Junior Sens who are currently rebuilding after a very successful 2017-2018 campaign.

Also posting perfect records during the showcase were Kemptville 73's and Hawkesbury Hawks.

Two other CCHL teams from our area, Smiths Falls Bears and Brockville Braves, were both a solid 2-1.

Jr. A hockey in Canada and the United States (there are 10 leagues across the continent) is particularly interesting and important.

Fans have the opportunity to enjoy the game at a high level and at the same time support leagues which are heavily focused on education, building character and helping provide a future for players. Worthy goals in my opinion!

SPECIAL SURPRISE CREATED WARM MEMORIES, COLUMNIST MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

As well as starting a whole new year back to the Northcote public school, September was a big month at the Lutheran Church too.

There would have been no Sunday school over the summer months. Every parent of every child who was a member of the church was expected to give regular instructions in the holy word instead.

Mother did the best she could with our nightly prayers, but with the summer months the busiest on the farm in the entire year, there was little time to give us lessons from the Bible. That isn't to say we weren't constantly reminded of the Ten Commandments and all they meant.

Often, during the summer, the congregation was more sparse than usual, but once we had turned the corner from August to September, the pews were full, and the few people who made up the choir were back in their places on straight-backed chairs at the front of the church. We were all back to Sunday school in the little room at the back, shut off from the congregation by a thin door which did little to shut out the booming voice of the minis-

ter.

Of course, that meant too, whoever was teaching Sunday school had to keep her or his voice low so as not to interfere with what was going on out front.

I loved Sunday school almost as much as I loved going to the Northcote school during the week.

Especially if the teacher that Sunday (we often had a different teacher every week or so) would read us a story from a book and not ask many questions! She would read from a little paper booklet of just a couple of pages, and there was always a coloured picture on the front referring to the story inside.

We were allowed, afterwards, to take the paper home, which delighted me beyond words!

Once my brothers were over the junior grades at the Northcote Side School, they were excused from Sunday school, and had to sit through the service with the congregation.

Of course, this didn't please my brothers one bit. Emerson said it was all he could do to keep his eyes open and stop his head from falling down on his chest when the minister gave his sermon, which could go on for an hour or more, depending on how heated up he was on the evils of the day.

Emerson said he would much rather be in the back of the church in the Sunday school. But of course, his almost six-foot frame was beyond sitting in the little chairs we used, and so with Audrey, Everett and Earl, he had to sit with Mother and Father.

SEPTEMBER BROUGHT A RETURN TO SUNDAY SCHOOL

school, we children were in for a wonderful surprise. The teacher had to time her lesson perfectly, so that as soon as the last hymn was sung, she had to wind up in a hurry.

That first day, as soon as the organist thundered out the first chord, our teacher reached behind her and took hold of a brown paper bag which looked like it had come from Briscoe's General Store, and she took out the tiniest little red Bibles I had ever seen. In a low whisper, so as not to be overheard over the final hymn, she said each of our names and she handed out to us our very own little Bible.

In ink, inside, she had carefully printed our name, and we were told that she expected us to read from it every night before we went to bed.

I still hadn't learned to read well, and so that chore fell to my sister, Audrey. Every night, Audrey who was high on religion at that time in her life, dutifully read a couple pages from my little red Bible. And then I would tuck it under my pillow, confident it would see me through until morning.

My brother Emerson, when he saw what I had been given and who loved a free handout, told Mother he wouldn't mind going to Sunday school the next week, and he was prepared to either stand through the whole service, or sit on the floor. Mother said he could forget it.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may want to be everywhere at once when the social invitations arrive. But this week you will have to pick your RSVPs carefully.

Spend time with close friends.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if you have had an overwhelming week, you can find a restful spot to recharge. Plan a spa weekend or even just a quiet hike through a state park .

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may find yourself as the life of the party sometime this week. Embrace the limelight but make sure to set aside some time for rest and relaxation.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may have a lot of things on your mind, Taurus. The best way to handle this kind of situation is to find a quiet place and think about all the answers you need.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 A change of scenery is something you can use right now, Virgo. Pack up an overnight bag or backpack and hit the road for some spontaneous adventures.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 You have a big event on the horizon that you have been planning, Capricorn. If it has been taking up too much of your energy, try delegating a few tasks to get some relief.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 A spending spree is not the way to go right now, Gemini. You have to be more responsible with your money.

Ask a relative or friend to help you work on a budget.
