Officers of the Rideau Lakes Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were called to investigate an alleged assault in Rideau Lakes Township at a long term care facility. On Feb. 5 at about 1:15 p.m. OPP officers responded to the long term care facility. Police say a physical dispute between a 79year-old-woman and an 86-yearold woman erupted over seating at a bingo event. The dispute led to an argument, which prompted some of the residents in the room to become involved in the brawl. There were no reported serious injuries. After an investigation, police decided not to lay any charges.

$ over a dozen people showed up. This week, even though Andre was supposed to be in Ottawa, she felt strongly enough about the issue to make a stand. She does not want to see parallel parking or bike lanes on Beckwith. "It was a shock to everyone," said Patricia Headlam, another protester, of council's decision to implement a complete street in a vote this January. Last year, when the main street's design was being discussed, Headlam
delivered a petition with hundreds of signatures to council asking them to preserve angled parking on Beckwith. "We want to preserve that front street," she said. And, at that time, that's exactly what council voted to do. In a vote last February, council decided angled parking would remain on the town's main street through the redevelopment. Headlam said it's not that they're opposed to change, they just want to see the right change.

For the second week in a row, protesters speaking out against Smiths Falls council's decision to implement a complete street on Beckwith Street - reversing the decision to maintain angled parking on the main street - flocked to town hall to get their voices heard. This time, they were greater in numbers. "I've lived here all my life," said Sue Andre, one of about 50 protesters outside town hall on Monday, Feb. 11, while council was in session. "I see no reason to change the parking." Andre said when people come to visit her from out of town they love the uniqueness that angled parking brings to the town's beautifully wide main street. "My roots are in this town," she said. "I'd hate to see it ruined." Andre said she couldn't be there for the first scheduled protest last week, on Monday, Feb. 4, when just

SECOND MENTAL HEALTH NURSE ADDED TO LANARK COUNTY OPP DETACHMENT LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com A second mental health nurse has been added to the Lanark County OPP detachment to assist with mental health calls. "We received some funding from Champlain LHIN specifically to enhance collaboration between mental health and policing," said Insp. Derek Needham on Friday, Feb. 8, at the Lanark County OPP detachment. A second RN, Robin Garreau, will help enhance the program the OPP started last fall with the addition of the team's first mental health nurse, Morgan
Crew, who came on board in August last year. This new mental health initiative sees the collaboration of the OPP and Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH) to offer help for those suffering with mental health issues. The OPP were successful with a Proceeds of Crime grant submission to obtain registered community mental health nurse last year, and now, the Champlain LHIN has been instrumental in securing the additional registered nurse. Garreau is a local woman with a lengthy career in the mental health sector. She came to the detachment on Monday, Feb.
THE ISSUE: MENTAL HEALTH OPP CALLS LOCAL IMPACT: A SECOND REGISTERED NURSE HAS BEEN HIRED BY THE OPP TO HELP DEAL WITH MENTAL HEALTH CALLS 4.
"We hope we can continue on with the second position on a more long-term basis," said Needham. "The funding for it will establish this position as the numbers are already there. The need is definitely there." The first three months of the first mental health nurse being with the OPP resulted in 93 contacts with different people, including risk assessment and diversion from emergency rooms, to name two. "The link to appropriate services is happening quicker; much faster than what was done before," said Const. David Bird,
Submitted/Lanark County OPP The Lanark County OPP and Lanark County Mental Health announced Feb. 4 that a second nurse has been added to their team. Robin Garreau joins Morgan Crew and Const. David Bird in helping serve local residents. Pictured, Insp. Derek Needham, Bird, Diana MacDonnell, executive director of Lanark County Mental Health, Crew, Garreau, Staff Sgt. Marty McConnell, and Staff Sgt. Marc Hemmerick. community mobilization/ mental health liaison officer. "From something that is a police call initiated, and if a mental health issue has been identified we have a method now to do a followup. So people ideally are getting connected to services quicker than the older system of us making a
referral or a call." Bird said that every call he and the health nurse has followed up on, not one person has refused to speak to them. "Most of them have expressed surprise that we're there, because they'd been promised things in their lives before that were never followed up. I think they
are pleasantly surprised they are getting what was promised them." There are three main ways to engage the health nurse, Needham explained. "Officers will call one of the mental health nurses, and David, while on a call See NUMBERS, page 28

As www.completerespcare.com explains, the site of the obstruction in most patients is the soft palate, extending to the region at the base of the tongue. There are no rigid structures, such as cartilage or bone, in this area to hold the airway open. During the day, the muscles in the region keep the passages wide open. But as a person with obstructive sleep apnea falls asleep, these muscles relax to a point where the airway collapses and becomes obstructed. When the airway closes, breathing stops, and the sleeper awakens to open the airway. The arousal from sleep usually last only a few minutes, but brief arousal disrupt con-
tinuous sleep and prevent the person from reaching the deep stages of slumber, such as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which the body needs in order to rest and replenish its strength. Once normal breathing is restored, the person falls asleep only to repeat the cycle throughout the night. If left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the chance of having high blood pressure and even a heart attack or stroke. It can also increase the risk of diabetes and the risk for work related accidents. The National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research estimates that 38,000 cardiovascular deaths due to sleep apnea occur each year.

OPINION EDITORIAL
DECRIMINALIZING MENTAL HEALTH The Lanark County OPP, together with Lanark County Mental Health are helping to make a difference to those who struggle with mental heath issues. There has been a recent addition of a second health nurse to go on calls with the OPP where mental health may be an underlying issue. The OPP were successful with a Proceeds of Crime grant submission to obtain registered community mental health nurse last year, and now, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network has been instrumental in securing the additional registered nurse (RN) - but only for a short time. There are enough people incarcerated due to mental health issues and the last thing police want to do is put more people in jail when a call to a mental health official would make more sense. When a police officer is on a call and suspects mental health may be an issue, they are able to dispatch the nurse three ways: the RN can go on the call with the officer, the RN can be called upon for a followup conversation, or the police and RN will make proactive calls to folks who may be on the high-risk radar of a mental health-related issue. These RNs are making a difference, and this plan is working. Now there needs to be secured funding so these two positions can become full-time at the detachment. The Champlain LHIN is footing the bill for the short-term to have the second nurse on board. The mental health nurse is part of the health system, and the RN can connect someone to services on the spot - without having to take people from their homes. This is a program that is also well received by the officers on staff. They're eager to learn more about the program, as they are being debriefed on situations where the health nurse has been dispatched. The nurses are on flexible shifts; primarily they work day shifts through the work, and their schedules are offset and extended coverage for longer days. It's all about getting the calls to move faster along the lines of support and help for those suffering with mental health. It is a logical step in decriminalizing mental health. This program is all about getting people connected to the help they need before it becomes a crisis. Already, in the first three months of the first RN coming on board at the Lanark County OPP detachment, there were 93 referrals to mental health agencies. Last year, there were 400 calls where mental health was an underlying issue. Lanark County is ahead of the curve on collaboration. Part of the police response is being able to build on collaborative. Let's hope funding will come through so these two positions will become full time. Already the numbers are showing that this program is working.

WHO WE ARE
LETTERS & COMMENTARY THANKS TO COUNCIL FOR INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE DEAR EDITOR:
I fully disagree that the great parallel/angle parking online debate has been about parking at all. Rather, it has been more a battle of who can passively aggressively insult community members via online social media banter and get the most "likes" in doing so. The community members engaged in the online debate are solely responsible for the ugly division among the citizens of Smiths Falls. I posted a neutral, satirical online post I made last year when angle parking was decided on, the joke being the decision was based on the mayor winning the popular dice game Yahtzee. I then received a ton of hate mail, comments and was even tagged in a post where I was accused of dividing the town by the same letter writer who wrote how she felt "they (council) and they alone are responsible for the ugly division among the citizens of Smiths Falls."
I fully support council's 6-1 decision for the complete street design that allows for bike lanes. I haven't biked around town since I was a teenager because I don't feel safe and I miss it. My kids are almost at an age where they can bike around town and I am really glad they will have a safer route to travel. Thank you, council, for investing in our future and the community.

READER ASKS TOWN ABOUT SNOW REMOVAL DEAR EDITOR:
What is the provincial requirement to maintain Ontario roads and what is Smiths Falls' policy for snow removal, as it seems to be non-existent on Franklin Street. Another snowstorm on
the weekend of Feb. 2-3, with no snow removal on Franklin Street, as I look out my windows and see plows running up and down Union and Cornelia streets. When I was out just after it quit snowing I had to shake my head when the truck with the plow on it was just driving along, throwing sand down on four to five inches of snow. As for the stairwell on Franklin Street, once again I cleared a path to the top of the stairs, but the stairs are buried in snow and most likely will remain that way to Monday morning, like usual, along with the clearing of snow on Franklin Street. Why am I paying taxes up here? How much snow has to fall before someone sends a plow up here?

READER WANTS HER VOICE HEARD ABOUT PARKING ISSUE DEAR EDITOR: As a citizen and voter of Smiths Falls, I am deeply offended and outraged at what I view as the lack of respect for the citizens of this town, which was demonstrated on Monday, Jan. 21, 2019. If any one of you, during the all candidates' debate, had stated that you intended on supporting rescinding the previous council's vote that took place on Feb. 26, 2018, you quite likely would not have been elected/re-elected. We were not given the opportunity, besides through emails and phone calls, to voice our opinions. It is time for transparency, accountability, and honesty. I am requesting a town meeting with concerned citizens, downtown business owners, councillors, and the mayor. I have questions that I would like answered. I want my voice and my opinion to be heard and respected. Please also make sure the location of the town meeting is handicap accessible, which our town hall is not. Respectfully,

BRIDGE FOR BEGINNERS IRIS WINSTON Bridge is the world's most popular card game. Ask any of the 50 million people around the globe who enjoy its challenges, mental stimulation, memory sharpening and opportunities to meet new friends. A game that can be enjoyed at any level, duplicate bridge gives players the chance to test and im-
prove their playing skill with every hand they play. If you would like to take on a new challenge at the card table, the time is right. The Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club is about to offer a set of bridge lessons for absolute beginners. Starting on April 9, the club manager, Don Grant, who is an accredited teacher of the game, will
offer a series of five lessons to introduce newcomers to the joy of playing bridge. Grant and his wife, Ivy, also an accredited teacher, have just completed a year of very popular intermediate lessons for bridge players, previously unfamiliar with duplicate bridge. Many of them are now playing regularly at the Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon sessions at the club. "To keep our club healthy and growing, we need to bring in new players," says Grant, who began
playing bridge seriously after his retirement in 2001. "After this set of lessons for beginners, we will offer a second group of intermediate lessons for students interested in continuing." The beginner lessons start at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 9 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Smiths Falls. Students are asked to preregister by March 26, to allow time to place orders for books and supplies ($25 per student). To register, contact Ann by phone at 613 284-6167 or email sfdbclub@gmail.com.

'OUT OF ORDER' WILL KEEP YOU WARM ON A COLD WINTER'S NIGHT AT THE STATION THEATRE February can be the dreariest of months - if you aren't a winter person! The snow, cold and bitter wind seems to be have been here forever, feeling like it will never be done! You need a pick me up! A night to forget about it all and just submerse yourself in a whole lot of nonsense for an evening or afternoon. That's where we come in. Our traditional British Farce, Out of Order, by the master of farce, Ray Cooney, is sure to lighten any February drearies! Director Lynda Daniluk has put together an accomplished team of actors, with some familiar faces and some new faces, all of whom are ready to help make you laugh until your belly hurts. Farce is an interesting art form. Dictionary.com describes farce as "a light, humorous play in which the plot depends upon a skilfully exploited situation rather than upon the development of character." But more than that, it leans toward the absurd, in a very subtle way. Every character in a farce does over the top, ridiculous things. However, from their point of view, what they are doing is totally
logical and normal. That is what makes it so funny to the audience. Watching a character deal with catastrophe (usually of their own making), while taking themselves far too seriously is a very humorous thing to watch. Out of Order has won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 1991. It's set in the Westminster Hotel in London and follows Richard Willey (Jamie Schoular), a government junior minister attempting to have a dalliance with Jane Worthington (Nicki Hayes) instead of being at the parliamentary debates, where he should be. He uses his private secretary, George Pigden (Robert DelGrande), as a cover, but as complications arise, George shows up at the hotel room and causes new complications. There is a window leading to a balcony which becomes a very convenient "escape route," however the window tends to malfunction at the most inopportune times. Add in an exasperated manager (Rob Glas), a wily waiter (Michael Adams) who is ready to add to his personal wealth at every opportunity, a frustrat-
ed maid (Jen Hart) who doesn't speak English all that well, Richard's wife Pamela (Mandi Reed), Jane's husband Ronnie (Noel White), George's mother's nurse Gladys (Katharine Coleman), as well as a body (Gary Welsh), and you can gather what ensues is confusion, surprises, desperation and trials - especially for Richard and George. The show runs Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee show is on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 2 p.m. The second weekend runs Thursday Saturday, Feb. 28 - March 2 at 7:30 p.m. and finishes up with a matinee on Sunday, March 3 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students and can be purchased with cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St., SF; 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, cash only. For more info: www.smithsfallstheatre.com. Don't forget, if you are a regular theatre patron, our 2019 season voucher packs are still on sale for the duration of this play. For $99 you get six
vouchers that can be used toward whichever of our six plays in 2019 you might be interested in. That's like one show for free. Use them all for one show, or one for each. It's a great way to make sure you see all we have to offer. Voucher packs can still be picked up at Special Greetings (cash/ cheque), at the theatre (9 a.m.-12 p.m. weekdays), or during the performances of this show. Once this show is over, the vouchers will no longer be on sale, so don't miss out. Submitted by Smiths Falls Community Theatre

MAN WITH SMITHS FALLS ROOTS WINS SCIENCE AND TECH OSCAR DEREK BRADLEY, 39, IS 1 OF 2 CANADIANS TO RECEIVE THE ACADEMY'S SCIENCE AND TECHNICAL AWARD EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com In a job that took him far, far away from Smiths Falls, Derek Bradley has achieved one of his life's goals: Winning the Academy's Science and Technical Award, the Oscar for those in the science and tech field. The award honours people and companies whose discoveries and innovations have contributed in significant and lasting ways to motion pictures. "I really thought that one day before I retire, I'd like to get this award," he said. "The fact that it's happening now, it's a little bit overwhelming." Bradley, 39, was one of two Canadians to receive the prestigious honour, awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sci-
ences. The other is Torontobased graphics researcher, Jos Stam. Bradley, who works as a senior research scientist for Disney Research, is being awarded for his role in developing a technology that's designed to capture and track the faces of actors and bring them into the world of 3D. The technology, called Medusa, excels at creating the shape of the face at a higher level of fidelity than any other system that was developed before - getting down to the details of the pores and the wrinkles of the skin. Bradley started working on the technology when he moved to Zurich, Switzerland in 2010 after completing his PhD in computer science, with a specialization in computer graphics, at the University of British Columbia. Medusa is largely used for live-action visual effects. It was first used in the Disney movie Maleficent, filmed in 2012 and released in 2014. Since then, nearly 20 released films have used the technology that Bradley helped develop. "I'm quite thrilled about it," he
said. "I never thought that we could get it so quickly." Bradley and three other members of his team received individual awards for their contributions on Feb. 9, during a ceremony held two weeks before the Oscar ceremony in Los Angeles, Calif. Bradley credits his win to his supportive family and those who have helped him along his academic journey. "It's been my dream and it really took me far away from home for a long time," he said. "For me, those are the ones mostly in my heart." Bradley grew up in Smiths Falls and graduated from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI). In 1998, he graduated with the highest average in his class. It was at SFDCI - where some of Bradley's teachers introduced him to computer programming that his love for computer science was realized. When Bradley realized he could make computers do what he wanted them to do, he was hooked. From SFDCI he went on to
Submitted/Derek Bradley Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute grad, Derek Bradley, to win The Academy's Scientific and Technical Award on Feb. 9 in Los Angeles, California. complete a bachelor's degree and master's degree in computer science from Carleton University.
Bradley's love for film started out young, too. "I've always been fascinated with movies, I watched tons of films as a kid," he said. It was when Bradley started getting into graphics during his PhD out west, that he started to hone skills which would ultimately end up landing him a job at Disney. It's been a job that's landed him on some pretty cool movies sets, including Star Wars: The Force Awakens - a film that also utilized the technology Bradley helped develop. When new technology is developed, and no one really knows how to use it, Bradley and his team get to go on set to meet and capture actors using their technology for the movies. "This is something that's always been a memorable moment for me," he said. "It's life-changing in some sense to stand there for two weeks and see all the actors." Bradley said now that he's achieved his dream and is being recognized at such a high level for his work, he's going to have to think about what his next goal is.

HOME?
Some female staff members of Metroland Media's Smiths Falls office had the opportunity to brush up on self-defence techniques on Wednesday, Feb. 6 as sensei Lisa Carroll offered up life-saving tips. Carroll, who owns a karate dojo in Perth, has been offering this type of training for 10 years; she teaches women how to not only be aware of surroundings at all times, but to defend themselves in case of emergencies. She was joined by fellow sensei Derek Needham, who played the part of the attacker (side note: he had a few bloody wounds following the session). "It's about being a hard target, as opposed to a soft target," she explained, as she put the women to the test by asking them to identify the differences between the two types of targets. Being confident and having good posture are just two characteristics of a hard target. Not giving away too many secrets, it's all about being aware of your surroundings at all times knowing how to prevent an attack, and how to get away from a dangerous situation. "Always be aware of your surroundings," Carroll said. "And pay attention to your intuition. If you feel weird about a situation, get out of it as fast as you can." Tips like keep your head up while waking (not looking at your phones); make eye contact with people; know where your exits are if you're in an unfamiliar building
"I really enjoyed our session with Lisa, and found it very educational. It was eye-opening how much of women's self-defence is about prevention and being aware of your surroundings. How you carry yourself in public, for example, means so much in terms of being a soft versus hard target."
Hollie Pratt
were shared. Kemptville reporter Paulina Hrebacka had nothing but positive feedback from the afternoon's session. "It feels good to have a few tricks up my sleeve that I can resort to if I ever find myself in a position where I might need them," she said. "For me, the training was a reminder of how valuable our natural intuition is, and how important it is for us to trust it - that's priceless. One of the key unspoken lessons was the reinforcement of our confidence and courage, which are tools in themselves. It was empowering." Sales representative, and new to Metroland is Niki Linton. "It exceeded my expectations," she said. "I am very thankful for having the opportunity to participate, and the atmosphere was very comfortable." And from news editor of Carleton Place and Kemptville, Ashley
Kulp, she felt that the teaching style of Carroll "immediately makes people feel at ease. She provided me with a new way of thinking, particularly about being more aware of my surroundings and trusting my gut instincts." From our digital editor, Hollie Pratt: "I really enjoyed our session with Lisa, and found it very educational. It was eye-opening how much of women's self-defence is about prevention and being aware of your surroundings. How you carry yourself in public, for example, means so much in terms of being a soft versus hard target. The physical moves we learned went well beyond 'kick him in the balls.' Some of the tips Lisa gave, such as pinching and jabbing your two fingers into his throat, I never would have considered on my own." If you would like to learn more about women's self-defence, Carroll can be reached at portelmsleykaratejutsu@hotmail.com.
SMITHS FALLS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY RESUMES FEB. 19 AFTER WINTER BREAK CHARLES MCLENAGHAN We have returned from our winter break and welcome all to join us at the next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society. It is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7 p.m., Tuesday Feb. 19. If you are not a member, good news, February is free for all who wish to attend. This is your opportunity to discover what our society is about and to meet fellow gardeners. Our goal is to help others to learn and share their knowledge of gardening. Memberships for 2019
will be available for both new members and renewals at a cost of $10/individual or $15 for families living at the same address. The benefits of membership include a discount on purchases at our local garden centres and participation in all events and tours for the year. This month we will have a Master Gardener from the Ottawa-Carleton chapter, Rebecca Last. Master Gardeners are dedicated to the gardening world, having completed numerous courses and now devote much of their time educating others in many differ-
ent aspects of gardening. Last is one of these highly accomplished people and will be speaking on the art of seed starting. This talk will be of help to anyone that chooses to start their own plants, both vegetables and flowers. Last has been gardening on and off since age eight and has been a member of the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton since 2005. Her small suburban garden is certified by the Canadian Wildlife Federation as wildlife habitat. She has been honoured by the Ottawa Horticultural Society with the Mary
Bryant Award for use of native plants in garden design (2014), the Members' Appreciation Award (2015), and the Ontario Horticultural Association Service Award for meritorious service to horticulture (2017). Michael Runtz Talk March 19 He's back! For all of those who attended the most enjoyable presentation by professor Michael Runtz last March, we welcome you back in March again for his presentation on the "Flora and Fauna of Algonquin Park." Many of the same species can be found in our area so we will learn to appreciate our natural surroundings just as we did with his talk on "flying dragons and damsels." Please mark your calendar for March 19 so you don't miss another enchanting
evening with Runtz. Stay tuned for more on this. The theme for our photo contest for February is "A Snowy Day." The March photo is "A Winter Scene ... your interpretation." Please remember that your photo must contain an element of horticulture to qualify. Brian will be accepting your best photos this month, or send it with a friend if you can't attend. Thank you to Sandra Cumpson for helping with the topics this year. All of our members are entitled to enter photos in the District 2 photo contest. The deadline is March 31. There will be a hard copy of the classes and rules at the meeting. These will be in the upcoming yearbook and newsletter (by email). This outline was received from Karen Haddon:
Send in your photos to district2photos@gmail.com. The deadline is March 31. Rename your photos as per the following: Your Name_Society Name_Class #_1. If you have more than one photo for each class, rename the other with a _2 at the end. Our website is: www.gardenontario.org/ site.php/smithsfalls. Here you can share tips on gardening, leave messages to SFHS, access our local District 2 website as well as the Ontario Horticultural Association website. Our email is smithsfalls@gardenontario.org. The site is being restructured so access may be limited. Charles McLenaghan is media director with the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society

WINTER STREET MAINTENANCE IS CHALLENGING IN SMITHS FALLS TOWN STRUGGLES TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT MOTHER NATURE DISHES OUT LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Winter road maintenance has been a challenge this year for municipalities in eastern Ontario and Smiths Falls is no exception. Weather patterns have seen significant amounts of snowfall, along with recent freezing rain. Keeping the streets clear of snow and ice has been a challenge in Smiths Falls, said Troy Dunlop, the town's director of public works. "We're struggling - everyone is with winter. Flash floods and deep freezes. It has been a nightmare." Managing ice and freezing rain costs money for salt and snow removal. "Rarely there is tons of snow and tons of freezing rain at the same time," Dunlop said. This year's draft winter budget is $331,398, including plowing, sanding, salting roads - $210,378; snow removal - $76,800; plowing, sanding, salting sidewalks $29,480 and plowing parking lots/facilities - $14,740. Smiths Falls public
Desmond Devoy/Metroland Smiths Falls street clearning Feb. 7 included removing the ice and snow buildup along Queen Street. works provides services for 69 kilometres of roadways, 63 kilometres of sidewalks, eight facilities and two public parking lots. The operations include weather monitoring, patrolling, snow plowing, sanding, salting and snow removal. The department also plays a major supporting role in providing service by plowing the community centre, Station Theatre, Child Development Centre, Heritage House/Curling Club, Hillcrest Cemetery, Victoria Park and Lower Reach Park. Community services also contracts services for the plowing of the Via Rail Station on Union Street. Each of the two depart-
ments provide personnel for hand shovelling and applying de-icers to walkways, ramps and stairs where required. There are 11 winter operators deployed during regular winter operations. The department divides the town into six plow routes which are served by three single axle plow trucks, two graders, one loader, two sidewalk plows, one threequarter ton truck and a backhoe. The town's second backhoe unit is used at the Beckwith Garage facility for loading the brine mixer and also for loading sand and salt materials. Two additional staff members are deployed for manually
clearing walkways, ramps and stairways at facilities. During overnight snow removal activities the department mobilizes a smaller fleet that includes the loader, motorized blower, one grader, one backhoe, one sidewalk unit and up to six contracted trucks. The town's snow removal program's objectives are to ensure the accumulation does not impede traffic flow, Dunlop said. It depends on the class of the street or sidewalk (major arteries are classed higher than side streets) as to when your street will be plowed or sanded. Dunlop noted that the trigger to deploy resources for sidewalks (walkways) is
NEWS eight centimetres, and there is a requirement to have the work completed within 48 hours. As for roads of a class five or six, a 10-centimetre accumulation is required, and staff then has 24 hours to clear it. Such a plan may leave some residents frustrated, especially those who live on class five or six streets, like Franklin Street's Ross Ayotte, who asked Dunlop about the snow clearing in his area, especially the stairwell to the street below. "I cleared a path to the top of the stairs but the stairs (Feb. 2-3 weekend), are buried in snow and most likely will remain that way to Monday morning like usual along with the clearing of snow on Franklin Street." Dunlop noted that there is no provincial standard for a class six, like Franklin Street. "The town, as a practice, applies the same standard to a class five (like Lorne Street)." These roads are low volume and or dead end roads that connect to a class five. There are no class one or two roads in town, Dunlop said. To compare, Lombard Street is a class three; Chambers Street is class four. The accumulation of snow has to reach 2.5 centimetres before plows are deployed for class one roads and the time allotted to clear these roads is four hours; five centimetres for class two in six hours; eight centimetres for classes three and four in 12 hours; and 10 centimetres for class five streets within a 24hour period.

Laurie Weir/Metroland Recycling bins and garbage placed on the curb for pick up in Smiths Falls.
DON'T PUT GARBAGE BAGS OR RECYCLING BINS ON SNOWBANKS, SAYS TOWN The Town of Smiths Falls is asking residents not to place garbage bags or recycling bins on the top of snowbanks. "This practice creates safety concerns for our contracted service provider," the town said in a notice issued on Tuesday, Feb. 5. "Please be sure to place your items on your driveway, as close to the street as possible without blocking sidewalks." The town also asks residents to avoid putting collection items out a day ahead of schedule if significant snow events are underway.

Three unique wedding reception ideas If you’re getting married, but the thought of a traditional wedding reception leaves you cold, try one of these three fun alternatives: 1. Brunch reception For early birds, a morning ceremony and brunch reception is the way to go. Ask your preferred breakfast spot to cater and then serve all of the breakfast classics with espresso drinks to wake your guests up. Just because it’s early in the day doesn’t mean you have to have a dry wedding — mimosas anyone?
insideottawavalley.com
2. Backyard barbeque If you prefer to spend your Saturday nights drinking beer and hanging out with friends, why not have a backyard wedding? Find a caterer that specializes in barbeque and get dirty with some ribs or pulled pork. Serve local craft beers and set up some old-fashioned lawn games.
3. Cocktail party Do you find banquets a bore but still want to dance the night away? Host a cocktail party! Your venue can pass around lots of appetizers and you can create a signature cocktail for the night. With this type of reception you can use a smaller space to accommodate your guests. A wedding reception that breaks with tradition can be more memorable, festive and affordable than the standard dinner and dancing that follows most nuptials. Your options are limited only by your imagination.

Trying to decide on wedding favours? Or maybe you’re wondering what types of gifts to purchase for your bridal party? In either case, here are a few ideas to look into. For the guests • Flip flops: these will be a hit when people’s feet start to hurt from dancing • Flower seeds or bulbs: your guests can grow your wedding flowers at home • Coaster with your initials: opt for a natural material like cork or wood For the bridesmaids • Tote bags: have hemp or canvas bags personalized with their names • Jewelry: a dainty necklace or bracelet that matches their dresses • Floral robes: they’ll have something
to wear while getting ready and they’ll look great in your photos For the groomsmen • Flasks: if they’re a group that likes to party, these will get a lot of use • Monogrammed pocket watches: a good timepiece never goes out of style • Fun socks: men don’t always get a chance to show their personality, so get them some fun socks to wear with their suits Show some appreciation to your guests and bridal party by giving special wedding favours and gifts. And be sure to accompany the selected token with a simple thank you.

Traditionally at weddings, women wear corsages while the groom and other men sport floral boutonnieres. The people wearing them often include the groomsmen, the couple’s parents and grandparents and any other family members that the bride and groom want to honour. If you’re not excited about pinning a flower to your lapel or wearing one on your wrist, here are some ways to put a fresh spin on the tradition. • Herbs and fruit: berries and herbs look elegant while still being fresh and green. • Colourful buttons: you can make unique boutonnieres and corsages with an assort-
ment of buttons.
• Wooden tees: if the bride and groom are avid golfers, tie a few colourful tees together with a bow. • Feathers: they can be as colourful as flo wers but are unexpected and whimsical. • Ornaments made of twigs: a shooting star, a heart or a simple wreath made of dried twigs would be eye-catching. The best part about most of these options is that, unlike fresh flowers, they can be kept as souvenirs of your big day.

Wedding invitations traditionally include a few different cards and a whole lot of information. If you’re planning a wedding and want to cut down on the amount of paper you send, a wedding website is the perfect way to communicate with your guests. What needs to be on the invitation All basic information about your wedding needs to be on the invitation. This includes the full names of the bride and groom to be, the location of the wedding and the date and time it’ll take place. Traditionally, your parent’s names would also be included, but if you’re paying for your own wedding, you can take or leave this tradition. Include the URL to your wedding website so people
know how to access it. RSVP cards Your guests need a way to tell you whether or not they can make it to your wedding. You can include this with your invitation, or have people respond on your website. Both options are acceptable, but keep in mind that some of your older guests may not understand the lack of a response card.
It’s Your Day
The North Grenville Municipal Centre, located in Kemptville, offers modern and cost-effective facilities for hosting your wedding. Our venue can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 300 guests.
What to put on your wedding website Use the website to let your guests know about accommodations, the gift registry and directions to the venue. You can also include some photos of the two of you, introduce guests to your wedding party or add local fun facts for people from out of town.
This can include: • Kitchen and beverage bar area to be used by the caterer of your choice • 300-seat performance theatre for ceremony • Outdoor patio area • A/V equipment rental • Free Wi-Fi • Municipal Clerks to perform your ceremony

Three things to consider when planning a destination wedding Have you long dreamed about getting married on a tropical beach or at a countryside villa in Tuscany? Wherever you decide to tie the knot, here are a few things to consider when planning your destination wedding.
exclusively yours on your special day
1. Hiring a co-ordinator will make things easier Weddings require extensive planning and if yours is out of town, the details can become overwhelming. Hire someone local to the destination — or someone from home with experience co-ordinating events in your chosen location — to avoid unnecessary headaches.

2. Destination weddings are multi-day affairs Be sure to show your guests you appreciate them travelling to be with you on your big day by organizing a few group activities for them, either before or after the wedding. You can plan a welcome breakfast, for example, or an excursion to take in the lo cal sights. 3. Not everyone you invite will make it Don’t be surprised if some of your loved ones can’t make it to your wedding. While it may not be a problem for all of your guests, it’s important to understand that a jaunt to Europe, a week-long all-inclusive trip to the
tropics or even a weekend in the next town over isn’t in everyone’s budget. In addition to the above, think about how you’ll transport wedding essentials to the destination. If you’re travelling by plane, it’s best to pack wedding attire, rings and gifts in your carry-on bag.

Cut blooms that will last the longest Flowers may look beautiful in gardens and even when snipped and brought inside to brighten up a mantel or dining table. Unfortunately, cut flowers have a finite shelf life. While cut blooms can’t live forever, certain varieties will outlast others. Choosing flowers wisely for wedding centerpieces or keepsakes can help couples enjoy selected flowers longer. • Peonies: Peonies can last for about a week or two when brought indoors. HGTV says to snip the stems when the buds are tight, wrap them in newspaper and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to arrange. • Zinnias: These bright blooms can last for three to four weeks and are best harvested in summer. Related to the sunflower, zinnias are available in a wide range of colors. • Chrysanthemums: Widely referred to as “mums,” these mid-
kellysflowersperth
summer to late-fall flowers can last between three and four weeks after being cut. Mums can be used to fill out floral displays because they tend to be inexpensive but durable flowers. • Coneflower: The purple coneflower is popular, but coneflowers are available in many colors aside from purple. Coneflowers attract butterflies and are beautiful in cut displays. • Ranunculus: Ranunculus mimic the look of roses and display layer after layer of silky, crepelike petals. These blooms can last a week or more in vases if they’re put in water right after being cut. • Carnations: Another budgetfriendly flower, carnations are popular from early spring until late summer. Available in many hues, they can be used in conjunction with other blooms to create well-rounded floral displays that may last between
two and three weeks. • Lilies: Lilies are traditional flowers that are beautiful to behold. Lilies are available in various sizes and colors and can be bought fresh year-round. Lilies often last longer than a week after being cut. Look for lilies with tight buds, as such flowers tend to last the longest. • Gladioli: The lovely flowers of the vertical-growing gladiolus, which is sometimes referred to as the “sword lily,” are available in yellow, peach, pink, white, and other hues. These bulbbased plants can last up to two weeks after being cut and add variety and texture to floral displays. Although advice varies on how to keep cut flowers fresh the longest, veteran florist Nic Faitos, senior partner at Starbright Floral Design in New York, who has provided his floral expertise for Reader’s Digest, says the best approach is to
keep vase water clean. In addition, ProFlowers suggests keeping cut
blooms in a cool room away from direct sunlight and heat

BUSINESS
THE RIDEAU CANDY SHOPPE MOVING FROM SMITHS FALLS TO PERTH THE SWEET SMITHS FALLS BUSINESS IS MOVING EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com A business with sweet beginnings in Smiths Falls will be moving to Perth this spring. Sheldon Giff, owner of The Rideau Candy Shoppe at 20 Russell St. E., expects to be out of Smiths Falls by the end of February and hopes to open at his new location on Foster Street in Perth this March. Giff said, while there were many factors leading to the decision, ultimately the move is best for his business - allowing him to expand and grow. He added that the looming construction on Beckwith Street, scheduled to start this spring, also helped make up his mind. Giff wanted to be clear that it has nothing to do with the parking is-
sue. At nearly 30 years old, the young business owner had to look at where he wanted to take his business. With more retail in downtown Perth, Giff expects that the move will be worth it. "It's just the next chapter," he said. "At the end of the day, the business owner has the choice of where to go, whether it's for tourism or other factors. It's a chance for me to learn new things." Giff said that he'll take with him the memories made as a business owner in Smiths Falls. "People started as customers and became friends," he said. Giff said that the decision was made harder because of all the boards and committees he's sat on in Smiths Falls. Originally, Giff said that he was trying to find a new location in Smiths Falls this past fall, but there were issues with each space he could find.
Evelyn Harford/Metroland The Rideau Candy Shoppe, currently located at 20 Russell St. E. in Smiths Falls, will be moving to Perth. When Giff first opened in 2014, he felt that he'd do well because of his roots in Smiths Falls. Giff also thought that his main demographic would be families - but it turned out to be
women of retirement age. "They're coming in for their grandchildren, family," he said. By making the move to Perth, Giff hopes he can target his main demographic and continue to
grow his business that's been doing well since the beginning. "It's definitely a change," he said. "The towns are completely different." While some are sad
about the move, Giff said the reaction to his relocation has been fairly positive. "I've had so many customers offer to help with the move," he said. Giff's customers aren't just drawn from Smiths Falls - they're coming from Perth, Merrickville, Westport and beyond. Since opening his business in 2014, Giff has been constantly changing and adjusting his product offerings to cater to what customers want. "Ice cream is the best decision we made," he said. Giff also started making candy, which is a big hit too. The candy shop also offers a space for kids' birthday parties, which are exceptionally popular in winter months. Many of those clients are coming from Westport and Perth. For more information on The Rideau Candy Shoppe, visit: https:// www.facebook.com/TheRideauCandyShoppe/.

HAVE WE GONE SOFT WHEN IT COMES TO WINTER? JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES ABOUT THE FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH - THE WEATHER! JEFF MAGUIRE Column
I have written a lot about winter in recent weeks but considering the weather we have experienced so far in the New Year it's pretty much the topic of the moment. The winter of 2018-2019 began meekly enough. There was virtually no snow on the ground in our region at Christmas and the New Year dawned relatively "winter-less." What a change in the month of January! We had every kind of miserable, seasonal weather event imaginable, sometimes all on the same day. This was the snowiest January in the history of nearby Ottawa. More than 100 centi-
metres (cm) of the white stuff fell on the National Capital Region topping the record of 93 cm set in January 1999. I can deal with snow. It's the freezing rain that my wife and I abhor. Heaven knows we had more than our share of nasty, freezing precipitation in January. That trend has continued into February. I freely admit that the older I get the more winter depresses me. Kathleen and I are suffering from cabin fever as it has been too snowy and icy to walk outside lately. We have joined the unofficial "walking club" at Walmart which has been growing exponentially in recent weeks. All things considered this is really just an oldfashioned Canadian winter and I am wondering whether many of us (including
me at times) are overdoing it in terms of complaining about the conditions? I do wonder about the reaction - try over reaction - to winter across Ontario and Canada. Two weeks ago some parents in Ottawa complained to school authorities and the media because school buses were not cancelled in the midst of a severe cold snap. They said it was "too cold for children to stand waiting for the bus." School buses have already been cancelled many times this winter across Eastern Ontario and especially in Lanark County where we live. I realize safety is the first issue and I'm all for that. Fear of liability is a parallel matter. I don't envy those who have to make these decisions. Because they are never going to be accepted as necessary by certain people! I'm not about to launch into one of those claims that "in my day we walked
five miles to school every day and five miles home in any kind of weather." Because we didn't! However we did walk to school every day and it was about two kilometres from our front door to the entrance to the public school in Stittsville. In winter my mother ensured we were dressed for the weather and that was that. No excuses. Off we went! Many kids who lived farther away were bused to school. I don't recall the buses being cancelled very
often? They certainly weren't when I was riding a school bus daily to and from South Carleton High School in Richmond. We would have been in ecstasy if a "Snow Day" had been declared. I don't remember one to be honest. But then again the 1960s was a very different era I suppose. Perhaps one reason Canadians today dislike winter is because many of us are not ready for it. Either that or we simply ignore
the fact snow is falling, the wind is howling or streets and walkways are slippery with ice. The number of people I see who are not dressed for the conditions is startling to say the least. But I'll let you be the judge. Have many Canadians gone soft when it comes to winter? 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. He can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com

or going to a call; there are referrals where the mental health nurse will follow up with later on, and then we also have people we know who are elevated risks that we will check on a proactive basis as well." Bird said they triage the calls. "A lot of the calls we go to where mental health is an aspect or main part of the call so the officers have made the referral, and we are finding the mental health condition is far more severe than anticipated. They're isolated from services or have a longer history (of mental health issues)." They are never sure of the call until they get there, as to whether a mental health aspect will be part of equation. Needham said the OPP detachment attended 400 calls for service where mental health was a component in 2018. "We are better at catching stats now," Bird said. "The officers are actually telling us now." Part of the success of the program, Staff Sgt. Marty McConnell said he's doing a quasi-audit on the officers' calls. "When I talk to platoon sergeants I explain when they see an officer who normally sees a family dispute, they would now go to that dispute and come out with a referral to mental health, possibly a referral to other agencies." Back when he was on the front lines, McConnell said, a family dispute would have been just that - a family dispute. "But officers are now opening their minds to thinking about mental health and knowing that we have this awesome resource in the detachment," McConnell said. On that note, the officers are buying into the program, Bird said, and its success is contagious it seems. "It's hopefully getting people connected to the help they need before it becomes a crisis. There has been an enormous shift in the detachment," Bird said. "If I'm not available, (another officer) will take on a potential mental health call." McConnell said the officers love the program. "When we first introduced the program to the platoons, we introduced Morgan and the program. Officers were popping into her office asking about it." Bird said they have benefited from community collaborative. "Lanark County is ahead of the curve on collaborative. The lead protocol has run for a while now; situation table has become a thing now. Part of our response is being able to build on collaborative. It seems to people like a logical step," Bird said. Ideally, they want their calls to move faster and for the health nurses to be permanent positions. The nurses are on flexible shifts; primarily they work day shifts through the work, and their schedules are offset and extended coverage for longer days.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
The OPP were successful with a Proceeds of Crime grant submission to obtain registered community mental health nurse last year, and now, the Champlain LHIN has been instrumental in securing the additional registered nurse. There have been 400 mental health calls annually by the OPP.

In loving memory of our dear Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, and Great Grandma and Grandpa. Many years have passed since those sad days, When the ones we loved were called away.

Wayne passed away peacefully at Lanark Lodge, Perth on Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 at the age of 72 years, with his beloved life partner, Cheryl Von Hagen at his side. He was a loving father of Jennifer (Travis Dowd) and Allison Douglas. Cherished grandfather of Georgia, Norah, Holly, Sydney and Charlie. Dear brother of Sherrill (Colin Smethurst). Predeceased by his parents Andrew and Doris (nee Soper) Douglas. Wayne was born in Montreal but spent his childhood and teen years in Verdun, Quebec. He was a regular at the Dawson’s Boy’s Club, often playing there with his band The Golden Tones, to the delight of many. Wayne moved to Ottawa with his family where he worked as a High-Tech consultant for both private companies and Federal Gov’t departments. After retirement, he was able to realize his life-long dream and settled on Dalhousie Lake with Cheryl, surrounded by nature. Wayne was a kind, loving partner, father, and friend, and always had a brilliant smile, laugh, and wink for everyone he encountered. He touched the lives of so many, and his absence is deeply felt. Family and friends are invited to a Gathering to Honour Wayne’s Life at the Blair & Son Family Centre on Friday, June 7th, 2019 with times to be determined. Those wishing are asked to consider a memorial donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, 115 Christie lake Road, Perth, On.

CARROLL, Tom – In memory of a dearly loved and cherished husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away February 18, 2014 Remembering you is easy, We do it every day. Missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. You had a smile for everyone, You had a heart of gold. You left the sweetest memories The world could ever hold.

He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just kept right on working, For those he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And if he had some worries, They went unspoken too. He was there, a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to, When times were good or bad, One of our greatest blessings, The man that we called DAD. Loved and missed Son, Mike and Granddaughters

OPINION
HANEMAN CHILDREN DREADED MRS. BEAM'S CURE-ALLS REMEDIES OFTEN FELT WORSE THAN AILMENTS, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
The question at the supper table was whether or not we were sick enough to call in old Dr. Murphy from Renfrew, or would Mrs. Beam get us over whatever ailed us. It seemed just about everyone at the Northcote School was coughing. Loud, racking coughs and runny noses, coughs that went right down to our bootstraps. My sister Audrey was the only one of us five children who was spared. If we called Dr. Murphy, it would mean forking over $2, but if Mrs. Beam could fix us up,
it would be a cup of tea and a couple of Mother's sticky buns. It was Father, always looking for a way to save a dollar if he could, who said we should give Mrs. Beam a try. Just the thought of Mrs. Beam and her cures sent me into a fit of coughing. And Emerson said he was all better as he wiped his dripping nose on his shirt sleeve. Mrs. Beam's cures were far worse than the disease. The fact that they usually worked though did little to ease our anxiety. She firmly believed that raw onions could cure everything but labour pains. Audrey had to explain what they were, and since none of us were in that state, it seemed we were doomed for a visit from Mrs. Beam. I didn't know what was worse, raw onions tied around our necks in a little flour bag sack, onions cut up and put on a chair beside our bed, onions under our pillow, or the mustard
plaster she told Mother was a sure cure for everything from the whooping cough to a bad cold. She didn't trust Mother to make them without her proper instructions, but if we weren't sick enough to call in Mrs. Beam, Mother made them herself. It didn't matter who made them, I hated them with a passion, because when the plaster came off, my skin felt like it was on fire, and my bony chest was so sore, I could hardly bear to put on my undershirt. Then there was Vicks VapoRub. Sometimes we didn't even have to have a cold for Mother to slather on a goodly portion right out of the little blue jar. Always at night, before we went to bed, was when we got the treatment. She said it would keep the cold germs away. My sister Audrey hated to have her chest rubbed with Vicks. She hated going off to school smelling, as she
said, like Ritza's Drug Store. And the next morning, before she dressed, she would go downstairs and bring up a basin of hot water, a bar of soap and a washcloth, and scour herself from her chin down to her waist, in an effort to get rid of the smell before she went off to school. Well, it was decided. Mrs. Beam would be summoned to come and treat whatever ailed us. I asked Audrey if she was called to treat everyone who went to the Northcote School. Audrey said she doubted it. She couldn't imagine bad Marguirite's mother letting her daughter go off to school smelling of onions or VapoRub.
She came loaded with a sack of onions and went through the house like someone possessed. She put cut-up onions on just about every surface in the upstairs bedrooms, ordered Mother to put them under our pillows when we went to bed, and it wouldn't hurt, she said, to add a few to the chamber pots. Just as she was about to go out the door, she told Mother the ones of us who were the sickest should go off to school with one of Father's dirty work socks wrapped around our neck. Thankfully, Father refused to part with his socks. When we five children were finally in our beds that night, we decided that
when we next took sick, we would all pool whatever money we had tucked away in our wash stands, and hopefully we could come up with the $2 it would cost to bring old Dr. Murphy out from Renfrew.
