DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Lanark County was brought to a standstill after Tuesday's snowstorm, which continued on into Wednesday, Feb. 13. It is estimated that as much as 35 cm fell from early Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday afternoon. While the worst of that winter system appears to have passed, schools across Lanark County were closed. While Canada Post deliveries were still being made, the constituency offices of MPP Randy Hillier and MP Scott Reid were closed in both Carleton Place and Perth. Algonquin College's Perth campus was also cancelled. Plow trucks were a common sight along the town's streets, with the snow hill behind The Lockmaster's House, a busy spot by mid-afternoon.

EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com The number of students getting exemptions on either medical, religious or philosophical grounds from required immunizations is growing in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Between 2016 and 2018, the number of students that have received either a medical or conscience/religious exemption has increased by 82, jumping from 371 in 2016 to 453 in 2018, according to data provided by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. "The total numbers each year are cumulative (and) not unique, so it's the difference we watch for," said Rebecca Kavanagh, manager of the healthy liv-
ing and development department and immunization and school health programs at the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. Between 2016 and 2017, an increase of 45 exemptions on both medical and conscience/religious grounds were recorded. Between 2017 and 2018, an increase of 37 was recorded - illustrating a slight decrease in the number of people asking for new exemptions from one year to the next. Kavanagh reports that more people get exemptions in Lanark County than in Leeds and Grenville. Though, she said, the difference isn't significant. Kavanagh said the number of people with exemptions from the required immunization within the health unit's coverage area is relatively low when looking at provincial averages. According to a 2015 report from the C.D. Howe Institute, the number of people with exemptions to vaccines in Ontario, despite an increase between 2008 and
2012, on the whole, remains relatively low, at only a few percent of the population. The report also highlights that data on conscientious objection rates are available only for a few years, which makes it difficult to study exemption trends. In the health unit's coverage area, the coverage rates, those with up-to-date immunizations, is consistently in the 90 per cent range, said Kavanagh. "We have a high immunization rate," she said. "We're very, very fortunate." Ontario's ministry of health has reported that a vaccination rate of about 95 per cent is ideal for a herd immunity to take effect. According to UNICEF, Canada's rates of coverage for childhood immunization ranked in second-tolast place compared to 28 of the world's richest nations. Kavanagh said when there are more people in a population who aren't vaccinated, the safety net of herd immunity decreases See VACCINE, page 10

Metroland file photo Smiths Falls council endorses proposed cannabis pilot project. move that could help contribute to science, prove to be a service to the country and create jobs. "If we were to be in a position where we could offer even temporary licences in Smiths Falls, we would get enormous interest, and potentially well-funded companies could come here to participate," he said. The ability to test out cannabis in the real world with real people could help drive data-driven policy. "That could change everything," he said. Morris explained that this isn't outside of the norm when it comes to the formation of public policy in Canada. Often, policies are tested in a small area and expand from there much akin to the basic-income pilot project. "I love this idea, and I think it's something I'd like the municipality to get fully behind," said Coun. Niki Dwyer. Dwyer asked what he's done to facilitate networking within the community to help push the potential for this pilot for-
ward. Morris reported that a cannabis-tourism working group has been formed. It's a collection of local businesses that are working together to strategize how best to make this work. "There is tremendous interest from local businesses," he said. Since cannabis retail has not come as fast for Smiths Falls as anticipated, the focus for the group has shifted from cannabis retail to cannabis research. Coun. Wendy Alford explained that endorsing this pilot may be another way for council and the town to push forward after the disappointment surrounding cannabis retail. Smiths Falls, along with other municipalities with a population under 50,000, were excluded from the first round of cannabis retail licensing. Health Canada is currently forming policy for cannabis edibles, with regulations expected this year. Morris is putting his plan before the federal government on Feb. 20.

If Nathaniel Morris, who has dedicated his professional life to researching rare cannabinoids, has his way, Smiths Falls could become a cannabis laboratory of sorts. His plan: the creation of a cannabis pilot project where regulations being considered by the federal or provincial government could be tested in town. In essence, it would turn the town into a real-world laboratory where the impacts of cannabis regulation could be tested and addressed. In his address to council at its meeting of the committee of the whole on Feb. 11, Morris said that, with Smiths Falls being an early supporter of cannabis namely welcoming the global cannabis-producing giant Canopy Growth Corp., then Tweed Inc., to town five years ago - and already benefiting from the era of legalization, it makes the town uniquely qualified to help define cannabis policy. "It certainly makes sense for it to be here, rather than anywhere else," said Mayor Shawn Pankow. "I think this is a great opportunity for our community. We're very uniquely positioned." The proposed pilot would involve designating an area of the town for cannabis field research and applying for a variety of research permits from Health Canada. Morris explained that these permits will allow the town to license a small number of experimental cannabis restaurants, bakeries, spas and vapour lounges - a

NEWS
METROLAND NEWS TEAM HAS 7 OCNA FINALISTS LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com The Ontario Community Newspapers Association has announced the finalists of the 2018 Better Newspapers Competition, and the Metroland Media East news team has earned seven of them. Metroland Media East is made up of six newspapers including: The Arnrpior Chronicle Guide, Renfrew Mercury, Carleton Place/ Almonte Canadian Gazette, the Perth Courier, Smiths Falls Record News and the Kemptville Advance. Reporters from three of these six newspapers have earned top marks. A first, second or third place decision will be made at the gala in Vaughan on April 5. The Record News picked up three awards, and reporter Evelyn Harford wrote all of the stories which are finalists in the competition.
Harford's first is in the Environment Ontario category. Her submission was about the water contamination caused from a fire at Rideau Valley Market Place and Liquidation Outlet two years ago. "I have been following the story of the families who were impacted by water contamination caused by a fire near their homes since November 2016," Harford wrote in her submission. "Wells were contaminated, causing some residents to leave their homes due to illness at the beginning. More than a year later, people's wells were reconnected. However, the water coming out of their wells still has to be fed through expensive filtration systems. Many are still concerned about the safety of the water and the value of their homes. The story is not over. We are getting reports in that the contamination has spread, impacting more people. I am still
following this story and have been dedicated from the beginning to shine the light on their plight." Harford's second nod was for heritage writing. Her story was out of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, as students helped recognize two Sikh soldiers as their names were engraved onto Smiths Falls' main cenotaph nearly 100 years after their deaths. Harford's third recognition comes in the category of rural story writing. She had a great story on the first ever Pride parade which took place in Smiths Falls. For The Perth Courier, reporter Desmond Devoy is always thinking outside the box when it comes to photography and interesting headlines. Both of which earned this veteran reporter two mentions. In the Best Headline Writing category, he had several funny submissi-
ons. He writes: "When it comes to stories about, ahem, bathroom issues, it's difficult to avoid the lure of toilet humour (I decided not to run with the headline "Animal toilet training is issue number one for council ... and number two.) But for a family newspaper, it's good instead to go with a clever pun (at least I hope it came across that way!) The 'Old Bastards' headline is certainly edgy, but, thankfully, once people read that there is actually a Bastard Ward, it all makes sense, and the club uses its notorious name for good. Starts off fiery - ends off sweet. And the final headline, an obvious play on the '50 Shades of Grey' books, works in a quote from an audience member into the headline, to lighten up what has been a contentious issue in town surrounding painting in the downtown heritage district.
Then Devoy had a clever photo setup when a local supermarket donated balls to youth in Perth. He writes: "A Perth supermarket was donating about 300 soccer and basket balls to about nine area elementary schools. How to make this interesting?" Also for he Perth Courier, it was a story about a man being revived by his soccer teammates which earned news editor, Laurie Weir, a Health and Wellness mention. She writes: "A man died - and was brought back to life after three soccer teammates used a defibrillator on him. This prompted them to be recognized for their quick action and more defibrillators were going to be purchased for the area, as the one that they used was several metres away." The Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette reporter, Tara Gesner, wrote a series of articles about the previous town council, which earned her a top news series mention. It was an an extremely
difficult term of council in Carleton Place, with seven code of conduct complaints filed against then Mayor Louis Antonakos. Two were dismissed, and he was found accountable of five: intimidation; disclosing confidential documents; disclosing information from an in-camera meeting; failing to treat members of the public with dignity, understanding and respect; and improperly directing staff, primarily the chief administrative officer. Gesner notes: "The Carleton Place/Almonte Canadian Gazette took the wrath of the former mayor and his supporters for its coverage of Antonakos' violations." Although it was very difficult at times for Gesner, the newspaper stayed committed to being the most relied-upon source of information for the Carleton Place community.

SMITHS FALLS TRAIN BELL FINDS NEW TEMPORARY HOME IN BROCKVILLE LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com It's the neighbourly thing to do. The City of Brockville will be the recipient of a bell from Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario after theirs went missing last Christmas. The Smiths Falls bell is on temporary loan, said Tony Humphrey, the president of the museum. The bell from Smiths Falls will replace one from the Brockville tunnel that was stolen sometime during the Christmas holiday. "It's a historic piece," Humphrey said of the old bell from Smiths Falls that was originally on the Grand Trunk Railway. "Smiths Falls and Brockville have a long railroading history," he said. Humphrey asked the town's chief administrative officer Malcolm Morris for permission to give the bell to Brockville on temporary loan. "It's a long-term loan until such time that their bell shows back up," he said. This bell is a 360-pound piece made of brass with a cast iron mount. This former school bell was also as part of an old D10 locomotive decommissioned in 1952. The locomotive was built by the Kingston Locomotive Works. After being dismantled, a mechanic from Montreal placed it at his cottage near Hudson, Que. After his passing, his son donated it to a private school in Hamilton, where it was used to call students for classes until they expanded in the early part of this century. Then about five years

The Town of Smiths Falls and the City of Brockville share a deep and rich history of railroading," said Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow. "The donation of an authentic locomotive bell from the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario's tremendous collection of artifacts here in Smiths Falls demonstrates the strength of our railroading bond."
Brockville Mayor Jason Backer said a sincere thank you to Pankow, the town and the museum for the loan. "This gesture helps to turn a frustrating act of petty theft to an opportunity to be reminded how the railroad can both literally and socially connect our communities." Anyone with information on the stolen bell, which weighs between 250 and 300 pounds, is asked to call the Brockville Police Service at 613-342-0127 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

SMITHS FALLS TOASTMASTERS TO COMPETE IN SPEECH CONTEST MARCH 1 CLUBS FROM CARLETON PLACE AND SMITHS FALLS TO BE REPRESENTED North Grenville Toastmasters will be hosting the local annual Toastmasters International Speech Contest on Friday, March 1. This is the first round
of competition for Area 3, Division A, international Toastmasters, which includes Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Manotick and Kemptville. Speeches are timed and must be five to seven minutes long. Winners will move on to the Toastmasters Division A International Speech Contest semifinal competition, to be held in Brockville on March 10. The North Grenville Toast-
master event will also host an evaluation contest. During this part of the competition, a test speaker will present a speech. The evaluation competitors will then compile an evaluation of the test speech they just heard which will highlight the best parts of the speech - and encourage positive ways to improve the speech. The time limit for evaluations is two to three minutes. Evaluations are the core of
development at Toastmasters, where participants receive encouraging and positive feedback while learning how to improve their communication and leadership skills. This helps speakers build confidence and clarity in any variety of projects in which they may be involved with at work, in their business or in their community. This competition event will be held at Grenville Mutual In-

4 DEGREES, HAWK'S NEST PARTNER TO BRING FOOD OFFERINGS TO THE SMITHS FALLS BREWERY EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Good food and good beer - there's really no better combo. Now, having both at 4 Degrees Brewing Company just got a whole lot easier. The brewery has partnered with Hawk's Nest Café - now owned by Darlene and Mark Baker, of the famed chip truck Baker's Fries - so that their customers can order from the restaurant located across the hall in the Settlers Ridge Centre while sipping on a pint. Jeff Murphy, operations manager for 4 Degrees, said the partnership is all part
of the communal spirit at the mall. "It's about working together," he said. "That's always been part of 4 Degrees' focus. "We're super excited about this partnership." When 4 Degrees heard that the Bakers were going to be taking over the Hawk's Nest, talks began about how they could work together. Previously, the brewery had worked with the former owner of the Hawk's Nest to bring food offerings into the brewery before his sudden passing last summer. The new partnership with the Bakers and 4 Degrees is a continuation of that relationship.
"It's good for the community to show businesses are helping each other," said Darlene. The brewery will be offering a featured menu that they'll change up every couple of months to keep things fresh and exciting on the food front. The menu currently features deep fried egg rolls with sweet Thai chili sauce, sweet potato fries with garlic aioli, loaded barbecue kettle chips, a creamy spinach artichoke dip with fried pita wedges, as well as savoury butter chicken and spicy jalapeno and cream cheese crispy wontons. But if you're craving the full Hawk's Nest menu which includes Darlene's delicious burgers made with local beef - you can get that too. Murphy said the brewery has always been big on promoting other businesses. They've partnered with other restaurants and bakeries in town to bring delicious, local food into the brewery. And, as always, you can order food into the brewery

SPECIES AT RISK HABITAT SHOULDN’T BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS There are 256 Canadian species are listed by the Scientific Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) as being extinct, extirpated, endangered, threatened and vulnerable. The Dawson’s caribou, sea mink, great auk, Labrador duck, passenger pigeon, deepwater cisco, longjaw Cisco, Banff longnose dace, and the blue walleye are now listed as extinct. The grizzly bear (prairie population), black-footed ferret, swift Fox, walrus (Northwest Atlantic population), gray whale (Atlantic population), greater Prairiechicken, pygmy short-horned lizard, gravel chub, paddlefish, blue-eyed Mary, Illinois tick trefoil are a the 11 species of extirpated mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. The endangered list speaks of 55 species, another 62 species are listed as threatened, and 119 species that are now vulnerable. The Government of Ontario’s review of the 2007 Endangered Species Act (ESA) could put the province’s most vulnerable animals and plants at even greater risk by removing barriers to the harmful activities that are driving wildlife decline. The David Suzuki Foundation, Ecojustice, Earthroots, Environmental Defence, Greenpeace Canada, Ontario Nature and World Wildlife Fund Canada are encouraging us to have our say on the matter. We have until March 4, 2019, to provide input into the government’s ESA review The David Suzuki Foundation is a leading Canadian environmental nonprofit organization, collaborating with all people in Canada, including government and business, to conserve the environment and find solutions that will create a sustainable Canada through evidence-based research, public engagement and policy work. We expect our government to protect endangered species. It is also clear that people and industry have both thrived when the needs of endangered species are addressed. Going backward will be bad for species, people and our economy. Most of Ontario’s 243 species at risk are listed because of habitat loss and disturbance, caused in large part by a lack of limits on industrial activity and development. Due to a regulation passed in 2013, many industries are exempt from current ESA restrictions, including forestry, which for the most part has not had to comply with ESA prohibitions. On the 10-year anniversary of the ESA, the provincial government posted a discussion paper on the Environmental Registry of Ontario and launched a 45-day consultation period. Although the paper offers the goal of enabling positive outcomes for species at risk, it focuses on increasing efficiencies for business. The ESA exempts most industrial activities from prohibitions, including against habitat destruction. We need to set our sights on greater limits for industrial activity to reverse habitat loss and degradation, which is the primary cause of wildlife decline here and around the world. Speak up for species protection. We need to show the government for the people that our people include wildlife! WWF-Canada’s VP of science, research and innovation, James Snider said: “Our current legislation is not doing enough to protect species ... We need to improve protections for species at risk, not water them down further.”

WHO WE ARE
TOOT TOOT, THAT'S OUR HORN IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE HAD SEVERAL OCNA NODS, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column
We're pretty stoked in the Smiths Falls newsroom after the Ontario Community Newspaper Association announced the 2018 finalists. Each February we eagerly anticipate the release of the list, and are happy when our colleagues are winners. The former Ottawa journalists were always up at the podium for their outstanding stories and photos. But this time, it's all about the Smiths Falls' newsroom. There haven't been this many OCNA nods - ever - from one newsroom. What's cool is that three of the four papers in our Smiths Falls office are re-
presented this year. Outstanding. But I have to brag even more. My team - which includes Evelyn Harford (Smiths Falls Record News reporter) and Desmond Devoy (Perth Courier reporter), earned six of them. Evelyn has a trio of awards. Impressive, as this is her first OCNA win. Desmond picked up two. This seasoned veteran has a few other newspaper awards to his credit, for opinion writing and health stories. I'm in there for one, and I'm happy with that as it's been about seven years since the last one. Ev's stories represented a great cross section of the community. From history, to culture, to rural topics, she wrote about the first ever Pride event in town, water contamination from a fire on Highway 43, and how students from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute added names of forgotten soldiers to the war memorial in town. Des' awards are from his
work with town council, and the quirky way he writes a headline. His photos are always putting someone in the limelight (sometimes, not so becoming), but he earned an award for the best grip and grin picture. My story was about a guy who died on the soccer field last summer, and his teammates brought him back to life using a defibrillator. Our Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette reporter, Tara Gesner, has won her first ever OCNA. That's pretty impressive after some 25 years in the business. Through patience, perseverance and professionalism, she covered her Carleton Place council during a tumultuous year, for a Best News Series nod. We won't know until April 5 how we all made out. #Journalismmatters Laurie Weir is the news editor for the Smiths Falls Record News and the Perth Courier. She can be reached at ljweir@metroland.com

COMMUNITY
DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION STEPS BACK FROM HEALTHY LIVING FESTIVAL
STAN SUFFEL RECOGNIZED FOR 50 YEARS OF SERVICE
EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com
Smiths Falls resident Stan Suffel was recognized by council for his 50 years of service. He has been committed to the community in various ways for most of his life. Mayor Shawn Pankow presented Suffel with a certificate of appreciation by council at its committee of the whole meeting on Jan. 21, 2019. "Thank you, Stan for all you've ever done," he said. Pankow said Suffel has left a lasting legacy with the town and area service clubs. As an active member of the public and a former member of council, his years of dedication and knowledge and service, have helped form and develop the beautiful community of Smiths Falls, he said. Suffel, a community volunteer, has sat on various municipal committees over the years, even sitting on council in the mid-'70s. Recently, he sat on the plan-
The Smiths Falls' Downtown Business Association has decided to step away from the Healthy Living Festival. The festival, held annually on Beckwith Street in Smiths Falls, has grown year over year. "We hope it doesn't lose any momentum," said Michele Baitley, downtown business association (DBA) chair. Baitley said the festival, which will be in its seventh year this summer, had just gotten too big for them. And, with the impending construction on Beckwith Street scheduled to start this spring, the DBA is looking to focus on the "Big Excavate." The festival has been handed over to the town. "It took a lot of us and a lot of volunteers," said Coun. Lorraine Allen, an

"It's with sadness that I see this on hold." Jennifer Miller, the town's manager of economic development and tourism, reported to council at their committee of the whole meeting on Feb. 11, that the town's economic development and tourism department is trying to spearhead striking a new
committee and a new group that would like to take on a potentially smaller version of the festival this year. Miller asked any volunteers that might be interested to get in touch with the town so that they can connect.

As of late, Suffel has made the decision to retire from his involvement in public life. "It's very much appreciated," said Suffel, of the recognition. "I have enjoyed working for the town all my life and I just wish my health would allow me to
continue with it." Specific note was made about Suffel's role in lobbying the town to waive lottery licensing fees for service clubs. He advocated that that money should stay with the organizations doing the fundraising. It was an effort that got results. In 2017, council voted to eliminate the fees.

and those who can't be vaccinated, infants and the elderly, are put at greater risk. The health unit is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Immunization of School Pupils Act that requires all students attending school in Ontario to be fully immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis (whooping cough), varicella (chickenpox) and meningococcal disease to attend school. If a child isn't vaccinated, they must have a documented exemption. Those who are exempt from vaccines would be pulled out of school should there is an outbreak of any of the above diseases. Kavanagh said this was the case a few years ago, when students who were not vaccinated were pulled from school when the area experienced a whooping cough outbreak. If a parent wants to get a conscious or religious belief exemption for their child, they have to go to an information session with one of

Kavanagh said this is to ensure that they have been educated before making the decision. The health unit has recorded a 98 per cent compliance with the act. To be compliant, you either need to be immunized or be exempt. The health unit is currently in the midst of conducting this year's immunization audits. If there is no immunization record, or incomplete information, for a child attending school, they will be sent a letter looking
for the records. If there is no response, a second letter will be sent requesting the information again with a date that their child will be suspended from school if the records or exemption is not received. The health unit encourages parents when their child gets immunized to contact the health unit. Kavanagh said there is a common misunderstanding that doctors and those at the health unit share information. "I think families think that there is a link between
health-care providers and the health unit," she said. Without reporting to the health unit, there won't be a record of your child's vaccinations, which could lead to a letter being sent home at school looking to collect the up-to-date vaccine records. There is an online portal to report. Visit the health unit's website (https:// healthunit.org/health-information/immunization/ immunization-notices/) to learn how you can send your child's immunization information.

KEMPTVILLE INSURANCE COMPANIES TEAM UP TO OFFER YOUTH FILM FESTIVAL'S $1,000 GRAND PRIZE MyView Youth Film Festival is back for its sixth year, thanks to new sponsors. Kemptville's own McGahey Insurance and Grenville Mutual have teamed up to provide the $1,000 grand prize for 2019. This creative contest is open to all youth ages 10 to 24 in eastern Ontario (see www.myviewfilmfest.ca for list of eligible counties). Young people are encouraged to pick up their phone or camera and make a short video that celebrates something in their life or community, shows a solution to a problem, or showcases their opinion. Thanks to McGahey Insurance, Grenville Mutual and to YourTV for the chance to win great prizes in the following categories:
• Best overall video - $1,000 • Age category prizes (10 to 13; 14 to 17; 18 to 24) The deadline for video submission is May 1. Local youth are encouraged to get out into the community to look for inspiration. There is no shortage of interesting topics to explore. "This generation of young people have all kinds of new issues to tackle. Between #metoo, cannabis legalization and social media, youth are extremely well informed, and I look forward to seeing what they have to say," said Rebecca Shams, health promoter and MyView committee member. Judging criteria heavily favours the content of the videos over the
production elements; it's hoped this encourages novices to participate and share their story. "It is shaping up to be another great festival," said John Barclay, MyView founder and producer with Triune Productions. "With three months left until the deadline, we already have five films submitted." For more information on contest rules or judging criteria, visit us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/myviewfilmfest), check out www.myviewfilmfest.ca or email info@myviewfilmfest.ca.

SMITHS FALLS AAA BEARS GOALIE, PATRICK LEAVER, CHOSEN FOR TEAM ONTARIO FOR CANADA WINTER GAMES LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com From Feb. 15 until March 3, 2019, the eyes of the nation will be on Red Deer, Alta. as they host the 2019 Canada Winter Games - the largest multi-sport and cultural event for youth in Canada and the largest event to be hosted in Red Deer's history. Held every four years, the Canada Winter Games showcases the top under-16 hockey talent in the country and sees one province or territory emerge as the best in the nation. Team Ontario will be entering the competition as the defending men's hockey gold medallists, having defeated Team Alberta four years ago in Prince George, B.C. Leading the 2019 men's hockey team will be head coach Jeff Jordan (Ottawa, Ont./ Kemptville 73's U18
AAA), assisted by Steve Devine (Toronto, Ont./Toronto Marlboros bantam) and Dean DeSilva (Kitchener, Ont./ Kitchener Jr. Rangers minor midget AAA). All players have been diligently evaluated -since the start of the hockey season -- by team staff who took in a number of league games and major tournaments across the province, spanning from Ottawa to Windsor, St. Catharines to Sudbury, and everywhere in between to identify the top talent. Leading the way with five players selected to the team are the Don Mills Flyers (GTHL), followed by three from the North Central Predators (OMHA), and two from the Pembroke Lumber Kings (HEO). One of those players is Smiths Falls AAA Bears
JB Ryan photo Patrick Leaver of the Smiths Falls AAA Bears has been selected for Team Ontario for this year's Canada Winter Games goalie, Patrick Leaver. He was not available for comment, but his coach, J.B. Ryan spoke highly of
his goal stopper. The Perth native was a first-round draft pick of the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears.
He was the HEO midget AAA goalie of the month for September. His twin brother, Matthew also plays on the same team. Patrick was a member of the league all-star team, the Ottawa Capitals. Ryan said Patrick is goal-oriented."Patrick is extremely motivated and is driven to be the best. His success comes from his hard work both on and off the ice," Ryan said. "He's very consistent in his approach and he knows what he wants regarding his future in hockey." Ryan said Patrick is one of the top players on the team who always gives the team a chance to win when he's in net. "He sets good example for his teammates from his work ethic and the way he prepares for games." Ryan said he thinks the Canada Winter Games is

just the start of things to come for his goalie. "He is very competitive," Ryan said, "and thrives in the big moments." Featuring over 150 events in 19 sports and a major arts and cultural festival, the 2019 Canada Winter Games will welcome up to 3,600 athletes, managers and coaches and more than 100,000 spectators, with a forecast economic impact of over $132 million. The 27th edition of the Canada Games, the 2019 Games is set to provide a stage for Canada's next generation of national, international and Olympic champions to compete, and will leave a legacy of athletic and leadership greatness in Red Deer.

Notice of Study Completion Township of Montague Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Design for the Reconstruction of Matheson Drive The Township of Montague has retained Ainley Group to complete design activities and to undertake the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process for the proposed reconstruction and widening of Matheson Drive. The section of Matheson Drive to be reconstructed is from Rideau Avenue North, easterly to Rosedale Road South. Matheson Drive from Rosedale Road South to 1.42 km east of Rosedale Road South, the entirety of Charlotte Street, and the entirety of Riceville Road are also proposed for paving as part of this project. The preliminary and detail design activities for Matheson Drive, Charlotte Street, and Riceville Road are being completed as a Schedule ‘B’ undertaking in accordance with the MCEA. As part of the study, available background information was reviewed, field studies were completed, and alternative solutions developed to address the proposed reconstruction. The alternative solutions were assessed for potential impacts to the natural, cultural, social, and economic environments, and in consideration of safety for vehicular traffic. Based on the environmental assessment study, the preferred alternative for the reconstruction of Matheson Drive is to widen the travelled lanes to 3.3 m and to implement paved shoulders throughout the study limits. The preferred alternative also includes realigning of one horizontal curve within the study limits to improve safety and visual sight lines.

RAIL TRANSPORT DECLINE MAJOR BLOW NATIONWIDE JEFF MAGUIRE IS LAMENTING THE REDUCTION IN RAIL FREIGHT SERVICE JEFF MAGUIRE Column
Carleton Place, Ontario is a railway town without any rails. Fortunately there are some well-preserved landmarks and one particularly striking memorial to the railway history of the community my wife and I have called home for the past 43 years. Kathleen and I moved from one railway town to another. Previously we lived in St. Thomas, Ontario near London where I worked as a reporter and editor at the daily St. Thomas TimesJournal. The small southwestern Ontario city was shaped, in part, by the railway boom which linked Canada from coast-to-coast in the 19th Century. The same is true of Carleton Place where I have spent 43 years in the newspaper business. It was a comfortable fit for us, moving to a place that, like St. Thomas, was criss-crossed by busy railway lines. Local natives recall that Carleton Place was once commonly referred to as "The Junction Town." That's not only because the community sits at the junction of provincial Highways 7 and 15, but also because in the late 19th Cen-
tury and throughout most of the 20th Century the town was also a major railway hub. In 1987 what I call "the series of disasters" which led to the end of the town's proud railway history began. First the passenger rail link to and from Ottawa was severed. Over strong objections voiced by officials in Carleton Place the 28.1 kilometre stretch of rail line, which was then known as the "Nepean Subdivision," was abandoned. Once the rail company's application was approved you have never seen rail tracks torn up so quickly and efficiently. In the process not only did the rail link to Ottawa disappear so too (as Carleton Place officials quite rightly complained) did any opportunity for a future commuter rail connection to the city. With the town now growing to city size the need for commuter rail service has never been greater. A few short years ago the former north-south rail freight line which linked Mattawa with Smiths Falls, also via Carleton Place, suffered a similar fate. Now the only remaining reminders of the town's long railway history are the former town railway station, wisely purchased and preserved by the town, along with a former round house which is part of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers complex here. Most recently a truly striking mural featuring "the last train to Carleton Place" was expertly painted on the side of the former Edwards Grocery Store at the corner of Franktown Road and Cole-
man Street. For railway aficionados such as me, the mural serves as a painful reminder of what might have been. What has happened to the railway in Carleton Place is of course a microcosm of a sad situation which has developed across Canada. The tragic tale I have related here is in fact a form, or mould, which could be perfectly fitted over any number of Canadian communities. Regina, the provincial capital and second largest city in Saskatchewan, doesn't have passenger rail service. The nearest VIA Rail station is located in Saskatoon, a two and a half-hour drive oneway. What has replaced trains as the chief transporter of goods in this country? Why transport trucks (mainly tractor-trailers) of course. Drive on any major roadway in Canada and you are sure to encounter them in huge numbers. It's something of a "lovehate" relationship for motorists. As Canadians know these big rigs are vitally important to our business and commerce. Yet we wish there weren't so many of them adding to the increasingly heavy traffic volume on our most important highways. 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

Joanne Watson, job developer at ontrac Employment Resource Services, said they're seeing an increase in job openings for labourers, AZ & DZ drivers, and jobs in the foodservice and health-care sectors, specifically personal support workers. While the job market is slower through December and January, she said things should ramp up in the next month. "Last year, we were kept very busy with employers looking for employees from early spring to November," said Watson. "We had many Ottawa employers contacting us with hiring needs." Watson said she had other service providers contacting her trying to fill jobs, especially in the Brockville area.
Evelyn Harford/Metroland Job seekers and employers connect at the annual ontrac job fair held at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on March, 8, 2017. "I feel employers are struggling to fill positions across the board," she said. As employers strive to fill positions, Watson said, she feels that there are fewer job seekers out pounding the pavement. Right now, she said, employers are looking for reliability, ability to work flexible hours and shifts, in addition to having transportation and commitment. If you're job seeking, check out ontrac's upcoming job fairs in Smiths Falls, Arnprior and Renfrew. Watson tells job seekers to come with a current resumé, readiness to speak about their skills and what
they can bring to a position. Prospective candidates should dress appropriately to be interviewed. There will be many employers looking to hire students, as well.
JOB FAIR DATES: SMITHS FALLS: Tuesday, Feb. 19, at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, from 1 to 4 p.m. RENFREW: Wednesday, Feb. 20, at the Renfrew legion, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. ARNPRIOR: Thursday, Feb. 21, at the Arnprior legion, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. For more information on ontrac, visit https:// www.getontrac.ca/.

Pauline was a devoted Mother, Nanna and friend to many and will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank the staff at the Perth Community Care Center and Dr. Ferrier for their compassion and care.

DEATH NOTICE
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Mark Popplewell, at home on Sunday February 10, 2019, following a courageous and very determined battle against brain cancer. Mark was the much loved husband of Lori, his wife of 32 years, and very proud father of his sons Nolan and Chris. He will be sadly missed by his brother David, his sister Dawn (Mike) Asselstine and their children Nathanial (Candice) and Melissa, his sister-in-law Lisa (late Matthew) and their sons Sam and Luke. Much loved son-in-law of Jim and Tina McGilligan and brother-in-law of Debbi McGilligan and daughter Stephanie, and Kim McGilligan and daughters Amanda, Karissa and Nodyia, and great-uncle to Liam, Trinnitie, Aiva and Lincoln. Mark was predeceased by his cherished infant daughter Kari, his parents Les and Doris (Chaplin), and his brother Matthew. Mark will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his much loved cousins and extended family and numerous friends. This journey would have been so much harder if not for the tremendous support and help from our families (cousins) and friends. Mark’s daily trips to Kingston for treatment were made easier due to an unending number of volunteers. His social visits, phone calls, texts and day trips with family and friends meant a great deal and helped to ease the ongoing battle. Thanks to the medical professionals, office staff and volunteers of the Kelowna General Hospital, the Kingston General Hospital Cancer Division, and the Day Clinic and Chemotherapy department of the Great War Memorial Hospital, Perth site. Much appreciation is given to our workplaces, 3M Canada, Perth Home Hardware Building Centre, Knudson Engineering Ltd, and Albany, for their continued support. Thank you as well to the Civitan Club’s medical equipment lending bank for the use of their supplies. Special thanks to the CCAC and Bayshore Nursing, especially Kelly, Leslie, Alice, Cheryl and Sarah for their compassionate care and tremendous support during this time. It is because of these programs that we were able to honour Mark’s wish to stay at home. Mark was born, raised, lived and has now passed on in Perth. He was a sports enthusiast, avid outdoorsman, a valued 3M employee, loyal friend and devoted family man. Mark had been quoted a time or two saying “I love my wife”, and was so very proud of his sons, Nolan and Chris. Mark had a larger than life personality that touched many people in his lifetime and hopefully will continue to do so. In remembrance of Mark, donations to Bayshore Nursing, South East LHIN formally CCAC, Perth Civitan Medical Bank or Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation Chemotherapy Department, would be appreciated. In lieu of a service, a Celebration of Mark’s Life will be held at Farrell Hall 186 Gore St. E., Perth on Saturday, March 2, 2019 from 1:00pm 4:00pm. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son, 15 Gore Street West, Perth. We are travelers. From “birth till death” we travel between the eternities. May these days be pleasant for you, profitable for society, helpful for those you meet, and a joy to those who know and love you best.

SMITHS FALLS PERTH CARLETON PLACE ALMONTE
SPELLING OF FAMILY NAME A SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION FOR FATHER HANEMAN COULD HAVE MULTIPLE VARIATIONS, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
It was a discussion between Mother and Father I heard many times. Mother trying her best to calm Father down, and Father yelling, "It's plain nonsense, I tell you ... I've never heard anything so foolish in my life." It had to do with our name. Ever since I had learned to print, I could spell Haneman without any trouble. And that's what Father was so upset about. As it happened, there was a funeral and a wedding that week, both, as Father said were distant cousins ... so distant in fact, Father said he couldn't remember what they looked
like. As usual, everyone for miles around never missed a funeral, relative or not, and almost an entire county was asked to every wedding. That's what Father was so upset about. Both families had spelled Haneman two different ways, and neither were spelled like ours. "It's like the Briscoes," he said. "Some put an 'e' on the end, and some leave it off." I knew what Father was talking about, because right in the Northcote School, one Brisco had an "e," and the other didn't. I asked Cecil why and he said the ones without an "e" were just trying to save ink, which made perfect sense to me. Father said the Briscoes could do what they liked. It was the Hanemans he was
concerned about. He got out the Renfrew Mercury and there as plain as the nose on your face was the funeral notice with Haneman spelled with an "i," and the wedding name spelled with two "n's." Father said he had no idea how the mishap occurred or when the change came about. He said he had his name passed down to him for three generations, and as far as he was concerned, the way he spelled it was the right way and that's the way it would stay. I sat at the end of the table after the kitchen had been redded up, listening to Father rant on about names. He mentioned the name Kallies and said, "Now there's a family that knows what's right and wrong. They have been here as long as the Hanemans and they are quite happy with the way their name has been spelled. None of this high-falooting
tomfoolery for them, I can tell you." Then he got talking about the Lutheran Church. Well, I knew that could be a topic that could take up the whole evening! Father and three generations before him were all Lutherans. And here were these two major events coming up ... both supposed to be relatives and one soul being buried in the Lutheran Church and the wedding for the relative taking place in the Catholic Church at Mount St. Patrick's. "I'll tell you, the whole world is going straight to hell in a basket," he said, emptying his pipe into the Findlay Oval. He was sure riled up. As always happened when Father got onto the subject of the spelling of our name, and the Lutheran Church, Mother just sat back and let him get it over with. I knew exactly how it was going to end. As it always did. He
just couldn't understand it. It was beyond him. He settled back down in the rocking chair by the stove with his feet up on the oven door, a new plug of tobacco in his pipe and with his eyes closed, repeated what he must have said a hundred times. "It's just beyond me. All those people who came out before me ... three generations ago ... all on the same boat ... all Lutherans. We all settled here, or close to here. Us here in Northcote ... we're still Lutherans. Now, can you tell me how that same boatload of Lutherans went to Mount St. Patrick, and before you could blink an eye, they were all Catholics?" Mother poured another
cup of green tea and put it on the chair beside him. He had worked himself up over the spelling of our name and the Lutheran Church to the point where he fell asleep before he could put the cup to his lips.
