FAMILIES CONCERNED ABOUT CHANGES TO PROVINCE'S AUTISM PROGRAM EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Parents are concerned about the recent changes made by the Ford government to the Ontario Autism Program. Changes to the autism program, announced in early February, will see children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), in Ontario get the same level of funding, regardless of need. The amount of money they receive will be based on a child's age and household income. The province has pledged a lifetime maximum of $140,000 per child from age two to 18. An annual cap of up to $20,000 will be in place until the child turns six. That will decrease to $5,000 after that. The changes will take effect on April 1. The province says that with this money families will be able to choose to purchase the eligible services they value most from providers of their choice on

THE ISSUE: FORD GOVERNMENT MAKES CHANGES TO THE PROVINCE'S AUTISM PROGRAM LOCAL IMPACT: FAMILIES SAY THESE CHANGES WILL BE 'DEVASTATING' AND WILL NOT PROVIDE THEIR CHILDREN WITH WHAT THEY NEED a fee-for-service basis. The Progressive Conservatives (PCs) aim to clear the long provincial wait-list for autism therapy in 18 months. Around 23,000 children in Ontario are waiting for government-funded therapy. Approximately, 8,400 are currently getting the therapy they need. In Lanark,

Leeds and Grenville, there are 365 children and youth with an ASD, either receiving therapy or are on the wait-list. Kelley Denham, who's 10-year-old son Matthew has been diagnosed with ASD, said this money won't be enough to cover private therapies, which can be extremely expensive. Her son was diagnosed at four years old. Then the wait-lists began. Matthew was six or seven years old when he got into Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI), a 20-hour-a-week program. "I don't think the waitlists are so much the problem," she said. "It's the lack of therapies." Now, said Denham, it seems like the province wants people to go out and find their own private solutions for critical therapy that will be soon out reach for many. "Before IBI he was nonverbal," she said. "It was just amazing, it helped my

son come out." Currently, Denham, who lives on the poverty line, said the only therapy she can afford for her son is whatever is publicly funded. Denham said from what she understands, all of that will be cut and replaced with a childhood budget of $55,000. Because her son is 10 now, that will be about $6,000 per year which will only cover some of her son's current day program schedule. "I'll likely have to decide between winter and summer day program, have no March break camp funding and will no longer be able to get ABA or other therapies, or decide on therapy instead of the only extracurricular activity my son can do," she said. "It's hard choices like that." Chelsea Metcalfe, a mother of two children diagnosed with ASD, also takes issue with the province's new plan. Her sons, Rylan, 11, and

Charlie, 8, both were receiving intensive ABA therapy (previously known as IBI). Metcalfe said intensive therapy is vital for children more significantly impacted by autism. "What our government is proposing to do for families is reckless," she said. "Intensive therapy will not be something families will be in a position to provide for their children. Who can afford $50,000 to $90,000 a year just for therapy? That's about half our mortgage." Metcalfe points out that $90,000 doesn't include the many other expenses families with special needs incur such as getting the respite caregivers need. Metcalfe said the therapy her two oldest children received has improved their lives. Metcalfe said the professional intensive therapy offered gave her children the tools they needed to integrate into their classrooms

at school, eased their family's stress considerably and helped them connect with the world around them. Rylan and Charlie have learned how to dress themselves, brush their teeth, put their dishes in the sink and garbage in the garbage. Both boys can tell you their full names, their address, phone number, what school they go to, their family members' names - things they didn't understand before therapy. Rylan also learned to read and write during IBI. "I don't even want to think of what our lives would be like if my two oldest children had not had the opportunity to do intensive therapy," she said. "Intensive therapy will not be an option for thousands of children. This is a terrifying prospect to consider." Now, Metcalfe's youngest son, Milo, 18 months old, is displaying signs of See PARENTS, page 13

Evelyn Harford/Metroland About 25 people gathered outside town hall to protest Smiths Falls council's decision to reverse Beckwith Street's design on Monday, Feb. 25, 2019. This is the fourth week in a row protesters have rallied outside town hall. town, and is causing division. "It's not a positive thing that's happened," he said. Inside the council chambers during the regularly scheduled committee of the whole, while protesters braved the cold outside, former mayor Dennis Staples made a statement urging council to provide a public forum to discuss concerns regarding the Beckwith Street design as soon as possible. The formal ask comes after Staples attended a meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 on Feb. 16 with about 70 concerned citizens. Staples expressed that it's in his experience public meetings, regardless of which decision is ultimately made on any issue, helps the public feel engaged in the process. He said that public consultation is especially important on issues of great importance to the community, such as the Beckwith Street project. "It's never too late to do the right thing," Staples said. Staples reported that there is a petition circulating asking for a public

meeting, which has over 1,000 signatures. "I hope he at least meets with the people," said Sherry Pepper, a protester who braved the cold on Monday night. Ultimately, council decided to receive a staff report tabling mediation options next week that will outline options they could proceed with to engage the public in a productive dialogue to begin a "healing process." Mayor Shawn Pankow welcomed representatives to apply to come to council as a delegation at the next meeting. He also emphasized that he has an opendoor policy and if someone wants to meet face-to-face, they can. "We have to move ahead," said Pankow. The project is expected to go to tender on March 11. A further reconsideration of the issue is not projected to come out of any consultation options. Rather, council expressed it's to provide answers to questions and concerns still lingering and help the public understand why their decision was made.

As the bitterly cold wind whipped up Beckwith Street outside Smiths Falls' town hall, protesters gathered for the fourth week in a row, while councillors and members of the public filed up to the council chambers on Monday, Feb. 25. Protesters, encouraging passersby to honk in support of their cause, expressed outraged over council's decision to reverse the previous council's vote to maintain angled parking on Beckwith Street in favour of a complete street model, which features bike lanes and parallel parking, when the town reconstructs the main street - a project expected to begin this spring. Sterling Bennett has been protesting since week one. He said he is disappointed at the way council went about reversing the decision. "It appears very sneaky," he said. Bennett feels that the topic should have been brought up during the municipal election last fall so that voters could hear where prospective councillors stood on the issue. The issue has caused an uproar for some who feel the decision council made isn't right. Bennett said that council should be paying attention. "I think with the angled parking the street can be very refreshed," he said. "I think it's a big part of the heritage." Bennett said Beckwith Street is a topic of discussion anywhere you go in

Cupcakes baked for a cause. C'est Tout Bakery, in partnership with Lanark Veterinary Clinic and Carleton Veterinary Services, have teamed up to raise money for the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) through the sale of the delicious dog-friendly confections for National Cupcake Day on Monday, Feb. 25. Proceeds from the cupcakes will be donated to the local SPCA in Leeds. "It's a great way to col-

laborate and support SPCA," said Amy Rensby, owner of C'est Tout Bakery. Rensby said it was Vera Lima, owner of the Lanark Veterinary Clinic and Carleton Veterinary Services, who came up with the idea to participate in National Cupcake Day to raise money for the SPCA. The two had been talking about ways to collaborate and this seemed like the perfect fit. "We want to have partnerships in our community," said Lima. "We want small businesses to have a bond." The dog-friendly cupcakes - pumpkin and peanut butter, both topped with mashed potatoes were also available at the vet clinics. Rensby has tested the flavours out on her own dog, which, unsurprisingly, has gone over well. "It's a pretty easy sell," she said. This is the first time the bakery has offered dogfriendly treats. Rensby said it's still to be determined if she'll offer the dog-friendly treats on an ongoing basis.

'CONCERNING TREND': WINTER WEATHER PUSHES TOWN'S LIMITS EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com With all this wacky winter weather, the Town of Smiths Falls is experiencing snow removal frequencies that are pushing the envelope of a normal winter. Troy Dunlop, the director of public works and utilities, reported that the extreme thaws fol-

lowed by relatively quick deep freezes in January created very difficult maintenance conditions for Smiths Falls and many other communities in eastern Ontario. "Our public works team has done a tremendous job running extra hours and extra shifts to keep up this year," he said. "Our hats also go off to their families who have to juggle their personal lives to help support the ongoing

schedule changes." Though Dunlop was not able to speak about the snow removal budget when the Record News initially asked, he did say the town is facing a "concerning trend" when it comes to snow removal. Dunlop later reported before council at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, Feb. 25, following the publication of this original article online,

that the snow removal is trending to be over budget. The budget pressures for snow removal relate to the cost to rent as many as six trucks per overnight shift to haul snow. Dunlop said that the town doesn't have tandem trucks, so the budget considers these contracted costs. The overall budget for snow removal is $76,800 and the cost for an overnight removal ranges

from $5,000 to $6,000 per removal shift. Dunlop said that snow volumes become to great we need to regain storage space to ensure adequate room for vehicles, sidewalks and room to accommodate future snowfall events.

DRAFT 2019 OPERATING BUDGET: Budget to plow, sand and salt roads - $210,378 Budget to remove snow (haul away) - $76,800 Budget to plow and sand sidewalks - $29,480 Budget to plow parking lots/ facilities - $14,740 Dunlop said the savings realized through the town's foresight to order extra salt before Dec. 31, 2018, prior to the expiry of the town's contract, in anticipation of the salt shortages currently underway that are affecting other municipalities, might offset the growing snow removal costs. The contract rate for salt was approximately $78 per ton. Current providers are selling limited stocks at between $155 and $170 per ton. "We have a salt budget of $90,000 but we have not bought any salt as of Feb. 15. Fortunately, we will not need much salt to get us to spring," he said. "It looks like we dodged a bit of a bullet there."

SFDCI MOURNS THE LOSS OF PROJECT KITES CHILD DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com

GRANDPARENTS’ TEARS White’s grandparents, Pat and Bill White, were moved to tears as they saw a rush of students crowding the school’s stage that morning. Pat bought some Rice Krispy squares for some of her other grandchildren. As she looked at the Grade 6 students handing out cupcakes and cookies, and accepting coins and bills, Pat said: “I think they are wonderful. They are great.” “It shows the love they had for him,” agreed Bill. The Valentine’s Day tiein was, for Pat, “special, just like he (Avery) was special.” Within minutes, the sugar-laden tables on the stage were bare “We sold out,” said Baillon. Looking at his young club members, he told them that “you really made his (Avery’s) grandparents happy.” This is not the last event that the Perth school will be holding in White’s memory. A fundraising dance is tentatively planned for Thursday, March 7. A plaque will be erected, and a tree planted in his memory sometime in the spring. – with files from EvelynHarford

Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute is mourning the loss of Perth student, Avery White. White was the focus of SFDCI’s Project KITES, a student-centred initiative created by teacher Breanna Bedor and carried out by her grade 12 college-level English class last year. White passed away suddenly last month. Bedor attended the powerful, heartbreaking and beautiful service honouring the life of their KITES child on Jan. 23. Bedor said in a posting on social media that she saw evidence of the impact that Project KITES had on White and his family. “I speak for myself and for my students when I say that we are both grateful and humbled to have been part of his life story,” she wrote. “Nothing will take away the void that Avery’s absence has left, but in the wake of this tragedy Avery himself has taught us that

there is hope.” White was diagnosed with 1P36 deletion syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. Students at SFDCI raised awareness about his condition. The Smiths Falls students organized an awareness show last December, which raised money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and shined the spotlight on White and his condition. Smiths Falls wasn’t the only town mourning. Students in Perth remembered their late classmate at a bake sale this month. Members of Queen Elizabeth Public School’s Me to We Club organized a bake sale in White’s memory on Friday, Feb. 15, raising more than $869.35 for the CHEO. That amount included donations from several local businesses collected on Feb. 14 and 15. “It was their idea,” said proud Queen Elizabeth teacher Marc Baillon. “It’s all their initiative. They’re running the show.” They had come up with

the idea on Feb. 11, originally intended as a Valentine’s Day event, but it was pushed back a day because of backto-back snow days on Tuesday and Wednesday.

FAMILIES DEALING WITH AUTISM DESERVE BETTER Rural folks in these parts know all too well that when senior levels of government impose a one-sizefits-all solution on them that all too often it means trouble. So we sympathize with the many parents of autistic children who are decrying the provincial government's new approach to dealing with autism. Under the guise of getting rid of the waiting list for services, the province is cutting back the amount of money allocated to autism treatment and mediation. On first blush, the changes looked promising. Certainly the long wait lists are unfair to many families. And supposedly reallocating the money so all those who need it get a share is also a worthy goal. But when those shifts come with a significant drop in assistance available to those struggling the most to give their children an opportunity to overcome the disorder, the new-look program doesn't look so reassuring. Particularly worrisome is the government's move to plug supports into a formula that doesn't recognize autism's wide spectrum. What works for a child with mild autism is likely to be entirely insufficient to help another with a severe form of the condition. Certainly the cost of helping an autistic child grow into a happy, productive adult can vary dramatically. Unfortunately, provincial governments tend to gravitate to simplistic solutions that may work well in Toronto but don't allow for the special circumstances and needs in the outback. Too often new regulations governing such areas as environment, health and transportation don't take into account the realities of rural life. The province's autism program changes don't seem to appreciate the full gamut of challenges faced by parents with autistic children, particularly those in the rural areas. Moving children off the waiting list doesn't help much if the assistance made available is woefully inadequate. Giving parents choice of treatment isn't helpful if there are not enough professionals available to provide meaningful options (and if the therapists reaction to the changes is any indication, there will be even less help available as experts move to other provinces with friendlier autism programs). The disorder needs more scrutiny, not less, including finding out whether the apparent alarming growth of autism is real or more to do with better diagnosis and awareness and changing definitions. Whatever the case, its effects need to be countered. While there is a limit to how much money can be allocated to the problem, cutting back seems counterproductive. It is unlikely to result in service efficiencies and will lead to higher costs in the long run if fewer autistic children receive the proper therapy to make them contributing members of society. It's time for provincial government to rethink its one-size-fits-all policy and bring in flexible, reasonably funded changes that effectively tackle the diverse problems facing the entire spectrum of children with autism.

WHO WE ARE

LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER APPRECIATES COLUMN ON RAIL DECLINE IN CANADA DEAR EDITOR,

It was with great interest that I read Jeff Maguire's recent column on the decline of rail transport here in Canada. It is a good article that brought back many memories. It was 60 years ago (1959) that my late father attended a federal government conference in Vancouver. As my mother did not want to fly across the country with her two youngest sons, my father paid to have her, my younger brother and myself go out to be with him in Vancouver, on the train. I remember going to the train station here in Carleton Place - which seemed quite busy - and boarding a silver train (The Canadian) and travelling across Canada. As a young child (I was about six years old) I sat in the dome car and was fascinated by the changing scenery. I remember seeing the forests of northern Ontario, the flat land-

scape of the prairies and the Rocky Mountains. It was a wonderful way for a young Canadian to see the country. I do remember the train stopping at Regina as I recall asking my mother what the word Regina meant. It seems we stayed there for a while, taking on passengers and supplies. I remember the train going through the Rocky Mountains and as the front of the train came out of the tunnel you could look back and see the rear of the train entering the tunnel since the train was that long. I would imagine that there were twenty cars or more on the train. I do not remember exactly, but I think we came back on the Dominion train, which was discontinued in the 1960s. It was a trip of a lifetime that I

have never forgotten, and hopefully one that all Canadians should be able to experience. Years later, my late father served on a Town of Carleton Place rail committee with former mayor Ted LeMaistre. I remember my father and Ted expressing frustration with the lack of support from the federal government and the provincial government, regarding their efforts to save the rail lines through Carleton Place. Even today, many of the communities in northern Canada still rely on the railroad for supplies, and in some cases it is the only means of access to other parts of the country. Thank you for bringing back these memories. Regards

SMITHS FALLS COMES TOGETHER FOR KIDS AT GRATTON LANES FOR BOWL FOR KIDS SAKE 2019 day, Feb. 23. The annual, national event, makes up about 20 per cent of the group's yearly funding. Money raised on Saturday will go toward the mentoring program. In 2018, almost 750 kids have been served by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. Children in the programs are matched with a caring adult volunteer, ac-

cording to a press release, and they spend time together each week, taking part in fun activities, with an added emphasis on friendship, and fostering a mentor for the child to look up to. The agency is looking for new volunteers for their mentoring programs. For more information, please call 613-283-0570, or go online to www.bigbrothersbigsistserslanark.ca.

REVISIT PARKING ISSUE IN SMITHS FALLS

streets, bike lanes on Beckwith St. would be just a series of accidents waiting to happen. 4. Beckwith Street is a main arterial road. It is the main route from Brockville to Carleton Place, and during the summer months when the canal is operating, it is also the only road not shut down periodically by the lock system on Abbot St. which effectively stops traffic from Kingston and diverts it all onto Beckwith Street. 5. Everyone on Beckwith Street went into business with an expectation of a given number of potential customers because of the number of parking places available nearby. Now the town in

its infinite wisdom is reducing their potential customer base by at least 50 per cent. 6. The really upsetting part is that council originally voted to leave the parking system alone, and then without “due process” arbitrarily changed what had been agreed, to a system that wrecks the traffic flow through town and at the same time potentially ruins the livelihood of all the small businesses located on Beckwith Street. 7. I know all council members did not vote for this change. Why was it rushed through so fast? Please correct this wrong before it goes too far.

Get ready to be bowled over. The annual Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County Bowl for Kids Sake event saw more than $90,000 raised across Lanark County, with about 400 bowlers in Smiths Falls, 191 in Carleton Place, and 103 bowlers

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor: There are some blatant problems with Smiths Falls Town council’s “revised /revision” of Beckwith Street. 1. Parallel parking on Beckwith Street? Consider this, the traffic light turns green and one of the first cars across decides it wants to park, it stops and has to back up. All the cars and trucks behind it also have to stop, backing up traffic through the intersection. Not everyone is comfortable with parallel parking and this could take a couple of attempts before the road is clear again. Then the traf-

fic is again held up because the light has changed back to red. There are four sets of lights on Beckwith Street. I rest my case. 2. At least with angle parking, it is quick and easy to park. And to back out of the angle parking space you can wait for the traffic light to stop the traffic and then back out, as has been happening for years. 3. Bike lanes, if we must have bike lanes, the last place to put them would be Beckwith Street. There are two parallel streets running north and south, Market and Maple, put the bike lanes on either of these

The walkers of the Coldest Night of the Year went the distance, in the hopes that no one will have to ever again walk a mile in the shoes of the homeless. Walkers gathered in the upper hall of the Smiths Falls Youth Arena on Saturday, Feb. 23, to get a final pep talk before taking to the streets of town as the sun set on the cold winter’s day. The annual event is a fundraiser for Cornerstone Landing which helps homeless and at-risk youth in Lanark County. Executive director Terrilee Kelford said that she was “overwhelmed at the response” of this year’s walk, which is one of three fundraisers the organization holds annually. “You literally are funding our program by showing up.” In 2017, her organization helped 82 young people, and just last year helped 74 people. By her own estimate, that very night, three people were sleeping outside in the county, whom they were trying to connect with. But even when they have a place to call their own, their challenges do not end. “Even when we get them housed, they are still living in poverty,” she said, especially with rising rents. But hidden among the frustrations of her job, there are moments of delight that make it all worthwhile. Chris Wright, their housing case manager, once got the ultimate compliment from a young client: “Thanks for being the closest thing I have to a dad.” Smiths Falls Coun. Wendy Alford welcomed the walkers to town, along with Perth’s town crier Brent McLaren, who gave a boisterous welcome of his

She noted that people may have a place to sleep that night, but that bed may not be a sure thing even a week from now. “Thank you for not forgetting those people who may not have a safe haven,” said Alford.

TINY HOMES She reminded the walkers that the tiny homes joint project with Algonquin College’s Perth campus continues apace, and the first tiny home, built by students as part of a curric-

ulum building grant program, should be ready for unveiling in about four weeks. “We don’t think it will solve homelessness,” said Kelford of tiny homes, but she sees them working as emergency housing. “People should have a right to own their own home, not just rent,” though she later added that “we absolutely need the private market.” One of the more surprising elements of the story she has discovered when she became a tiny homes advocate was that senior women were most interested in them. They, “have reached out to me the most.”

PARENTS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT AUTISM PROGRAM CHANGES Continued from page 2

autism like his big brothers. "My stomach knots and my anxiety becomes overwhelming to think that he may not have the same opportunity as his brothers did. It really breaks my heart," she said. Metcalfe's two oldest children received intensive therapy after the age of five but were discharged before they were ready to leave the program. At this time, they are wait-listed again for autism services. Metcalfe said the only programming available to them while they wait is more parent training. "Parents are not therapists; we don't have the credentials and we shouldn't have to," she said. And, said Metcalfe, the need for therapy doesn't stop at age 18 as many adults still require 24-7, 365 days a year care. "I appreciate that it is a tremendously difficult issue facing our elected officials, but it must be something that is open to discussion and change," she said. "Service needs to be based on need, not income

or age." Nicki Collins, executive director of the Maltby Centre, which partners with Lanark Community Programs to deliver programming, said it's not just parents facing uncertainty about what these changes will mean on the ground. Collins said the government will stop funding them directly in April 2020. Money, instead, will be placed right into the hands of parents who will then pay them for service. "It's a totally different model and totally different funding structure," she said. This year will be a hybrid year between the old and new system. Collins said families currently getting services funded through their organization will be able to see out their current plans. However, when they come to an end they'll have to assess how they want to go forward. Right now, Collins said they're not sure what services they'll be providing or at what cost since the changes were just announced. "It is a tremendous time of uncertainty," she said.

Lanark-FrontenacKingston MPP Randy Hillier has planned to welcome those impacted by changes to the province's autism program to his constituency office in Perth at the end of the week. Dave Shostal, Hillier's chief of staff, said that the meeting is intended to help Hillier better understand how this is affecting the people he represents. Hillier has been suspended from the PC caucus after a comment made at Queen's Park that appeared to be directed at parents of children with autism. He said in a statement that his comment was directed at NDP MPP Monique Taylor, not the parents.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

The Record News touched base with mothers whose children have autism and asked them what the changes the Ford government is making to the province's autism program will mean for children like theirs. Both say they face uncertainty, a sentiment echoed by service providers.

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Smiths Falls swimmer, Bailey Andison, helped propel her University of Indiana swim team at the 2019 Big Ten Women's Swimming and Diving Championship Saturday (Feb. 23) at the camBailey Andison pus' Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center - winning the title for the sixth time, their first since 2011. The Indiana Hoosiers totalled 1386.5 points through the four-day competition, followed by Michigan (1302.5), Ohio State (1162.5), Minnesota (942) and Wisconsin (717) rounding out the top five. The Hoosiers claimed gold in the 200-medley relay (Scott, King, Jensen, Koontz -1:35.86), 400 individual medley (Andison - 4:02.37), 200 breaststroke (Lilly King 2:06.99), one-meter diving (Jessica Parratto - 366.05 points), platform (Jessica Parratto - 394.40 points), along with setting records in

the 400-medley relay (Scott, King, Jensen, Koontz 3:26.60) and 100 breaststroke (Lilly King - 55.88). A carload of Andison's family made the trip to Indiana, starting early Wednesday morning, to watch the action unfold; it was her first big meet since transferring from the University of Denver. The team's first event was the 800-yard freestyle, which they placed fifth overall on Wednesday evening. Thursday morning, the preliminary round for the 200-yard individual medley where Andison qualified, resulted in breaking her own school and pool record. In the final, she again broke her own record set earlier that day, but her time of 1.53.27 was one second behind the winner, which put her in third place. On Friday, Andison qualified for the 400 IM to put her into the finals, where once again, she swam to a PB of 4:02.37 to win by more than three seconds. Laurie Saywell, Andison's grandfather, reports that "primarily to an amazing freestyle final leg, coming from behind to win and setting new pool record for the 400 IM at the same time.

HENDERSON OF SMITHS FALLS HAS TOP 10 FINISH AT LPGA THAILAND LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Smiths Falls' Brooke Henderson was in Chonburi, Thailand, where she earned a top 10 finish - placing sixth overall at the Honda LPGA Thailand. It was a US$55,308 payday for the 21-year-old. Amy Yang of Korea earned the US$240,000 first-place finish with a 7under 65; she was 22-under for the tournament, just one ahead of Minjee Lee of Australia. Henderson had a bogeyfree 6-under 66 after the opening round, but turned in a 73 on Friday with a double-bogey to finish the second round. It dropped

her to 15th overall, but she was never far out of the top 10. Saturday's round saw another bogey-free card, which included an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole, ending her day with an 11-under par. Sunday, she kept the pace and turned in a 68, marred by just one bogey on the troublesome par-4 third hole. Her back nine showed three birdies, where she ended with a 15under par and a sixth-place finish. Henderson has only played in one tournament this season, where she placed sixth in the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions.

Needless to say, the Smiths Falls contingent (was) over the moon." Andison qualified for her fourth final on the day four of the event, this time the 200yard breaststroke: in Saturday night's final, Andison swam to a personal best time of 2.08.84, taking two seconds off her previous personal best for a sixth-place finish. "After swimming the 200 breaststroke, Bailey was asked to swim in the 400yard relay where their thirdplace finish gave them enough points for Indiana to win the conference," Saywell said. "Bailey 'anchored' the team, turning in the fastest time, and was the top point scorer for the team. A fitting conclusion for Bailey, and the crew from Smiths Falls." Saywell added: "Bailey does not have one outstanding stroke, she is very good at all four, and this stands her in good stead in the individual medleys." Andison's next major meet will be the NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas on March 20 - where she has qualified for both the 200- and 400-yard individual medleys for the fourth consecutive year. On Feb. 3, she announced in Australia that she was pulling out of the ISPS Handa Vic Brooke Open due Henderson to an undisclosed illness. She tweeted that she was sad to announce that she was withdrawing from the tournament. "While I am disappointed that I am unable to compete this week, I wish all the best to the tournament staff, sponsors, and competitors. Thank you for your ongoing support." Next up for the women of the LPGA is the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore, from Feb. 28 to March 3.

Morley Evan (Lee) Bartley,

September 28,1930 - February 17, 2019. It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our husband and father, Morley (Lee) Bartley at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 17th, 2019 at the Peter D. Clark Long Term Care Centre, in his 89th year. He is survived by his wife Thérèse (Terry); his children Anne and James, Ottawa; John and his wife Sarah, Monteith, Ontario; his grandson Nelson Daniel Bartley, Sakata, Japan; and his sisters Gladys Seabrook (Ernest, deceased) and Helen Trimble (Stirling, deceased), both at Bayfield in Kemptville. He was predeceased, by his parents, Anna Christina McCurdy and Nelson Henry Bartley. Lee grew up on his family’s farm near North Gower. After attending elementary school in Pierces Corners, high school in Kemptville, and Ottawa Normal School in 1949-50, he taught public school for three years, then went on to obtain degrees as a Chartered Accountant and a Cost and Management Accountant. He taught accounting at Algonquin College for several years eventually becoming Chairman of the Accounting Department, then went to work for the Canada Revenue Agency until he retired in 1986. A man of many interests, Lee owned and, with the help of his family, ran Kanata Orchards, on the Richardson Side Road, as a market garden operation, where he planted an orchard, growing several different types of apples. He also kept bee hives, the honey from which was sold at the farm gate along with a large variety of vegetables. He was a voracious reader of history, biography and politics. As an avid genealogist, he wrote a book about his maternal ancestors, the McCurdy family, tracing them back to their roots in Ireland as far as the early 1800’s. Much of the genealogical research he did can be found on various genealogical internet sites. In accordance with his wishes he is being cremated and there will be no visitation and no service. His family extend heartfelt thanks for the excellent care Lee received: to the wonderful staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s Emergency and Rehabilitation Units; to the wonderful staff of the Memory Care Unit at the Revera Barrhaven Retirement Home; and to the exceptionally dedicated, caring and compassionate staff of Bungalow 4 at the Peter D. Clark Long Term Care Centre. We respectfully request that no cards or flowers be sent. Donations to The Kidney Foundation or the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated.

BROWNLEE, Don March 3, 2014 In loving memory of our wonderful husband, dad and papa. If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane, We would walk right up to heaven, And bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one can ever know. But now we know you want us, To mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times, Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten, We pledge to you today, A hallowed place within our hearts, Is where you’ll always stay. Sadly missed and forever loved Patricia, Jerry and Carol, Gay and Bob, Bruce and Debbie, Barbara and Wilford, Colleen and Heinz Grandkids and Great-grandchild

Terry Sweeney March 2, 2017 You meant so much to all of us, You were special and that’s no lie, You brightened up the darkest day, And the cloudiest sky. Your smile alone warmed hearts, Your laugh was like music to hear, I would give absolutely anything, To have you well and standing near. When you suffered, you told few, You never deserved what you went through, Tired and weary, you made no fuss, But tried hard to stay with us. Not a second passes, When you’re not on our minds, Your love we will never forget. Sadly missed and in our hearts forever Mom, Dad and family

William Arthur (Bucky )Buchanan Smiths Falls Firefighter 30 years September 22, 1948 - February 27, 2009 In loving memory of a husband, father and grandfather. Ten years ago you left us very quickly, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, Only Heaven really knows why. We have all grown so very much, But you know that from up high, We hold no hard feelings, You did what you did to get by. We still think of you, talk about you, And shed that silent tear for you. Missed and not forgotten Love Cheryl Melissa, Corry, Samantha, Todd, Tammy, Alicia and Alanna

BARBER - In loving memory of our son, brother, and uncle, Tony Donald, who God took to be his little angel, 26 years ago today, March 10th, 1993. Thinking Of You With Love We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. A million times we’ve wanted you. A million times we’ve cried. If love could only have saved you, you never would have died. It broke our hearts to lose you. But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you…. the day God called you home. -Author UnknownForever in our hearts, Love Mom and Leo Samantha and Amanda Faith and Zackary

FATHER NOT PLEASED WITH AUNT LILLY'S WINTER VISIT HOMEBREW ENSURED HER STAY WAS SHORT, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

It was not good news. It came in a letter from one of Father's distant cousins, so distant Father could never figure out the connection. But Lilly was coming to visit, and would he be kind enough to meet the train. "Why that woman would come in the dead of winter is beyond me," Father said. I was delighted. Anything to brighten our life on those long winter days and nights was always something I could look forward to. Even Aunt Lilly's visit. Of course, that meant Audrey and I would have to give up our bed, and sleep on the old creton couch in the kitchen, and our bedroom cleaned from top to bottom, which didn't please Audrey one bit. Now, Aunt Lilly, according to Father, was as straitlaced as a new corset, which meant no cuss words, longer prayers and grace, and heaven forbid that a drop of Father's homemade brew would be anywhere near the old aunt. The saving grace was that she could only stay

for a few days, and then she would move on to Arnprior to Aunt Nellie Wagonblass's, who Father said wasn't any more happy than he was over the visit. Now, Aunt Lilly thought any frivolity had to be looked at as bordering on sin. She was content to sit all day with her bible on her lap, and to go to bed with the chickens. Father thought the only way to survive her visit was to put some life into our old log house, and Aunt Lilly could either sit around and enjoy it, or trundle off to bed as soon as the kitchen was redded up after supper. So, he decided we should have the Thoms and the Beams over for a friendly visit the first Saturday night the old aunt was there. They were told to bring their fiddles. Aunt Lilly wasn't too struck on fiddle music, or any music except that coming from an organ in church. Aunt Lilly sat ramrod straight when the company arrived, greeting them with just a nod of her head. That didn't seem to bother either the Thoms or the Beams, and after a bit of chatter, and a bit of knee slapping laughter, Father said he would go down to the cellar and bring up a bottle of apple cider. He also brought up another bottle and I knew instantly it was his homemade brew. He placed it well behind the jar of cider. Pouring the cider into the glasses, I saw him add in a good slug of his

brew in one of the glasses, and hand it over to Aunt Lilly. She took a noisy swig and told Father it was the best apple cider she had ever tasted, and handed her glass over for a refill. Well, it certainly loosened up the old aunt. She was soon tapping her foot to the fiddle music, and I could see her white cheeks take on a rosy glow. The next morning she said she had a splitting headache and was pretty sure she was coming down with "the grip," and if Father didn't mind, she would cut her visit short and head on to Arnprior to Aunt Nellie's. Father didn't mind in the least, and by the time the chores were done, and breakfast over, he had the cutter sitting at the kitchen door. Aunt Lilly fell into the cutter, waved a goodbye to us standing at the door, and laid her head back on the seat looking very much like she wasn't long for this world. Not a word was mentioned of Father's drinks of the night before.

OPINION

TWO CATS FEATURED AT LANARK ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY THIS WEEK Lanark Animal Welfare Society is featuring two cats this week.

PETS OF THE WEEK FRED is nine months old and has a lot of love to give. He just needs a patient partner and he might need an extra minute to find his courage. If you are patient enough to tap into it — and if you understand that for now he’d love to keep all four paws on the ground — you and Fred can be

buddies. He might need a quiet home and a little understanding, but once he feels safe, he will be loyal to you all his days. Will you take a chance on Fred? You’ll never regret it! HASHBROWN — How can you not fall in love with this sweet looking face? Hashbrown arrived not long ago at LAWS and is now available at Natural Pet Foods. He is about five years old and comes with a lot of hugs and kisses to

share. He’s an amazing large male cat with lovely markings. He is very friendly and loves to keep himself well-groomed. Hashbrown is a true gem to call your own. First come first served, so you’d better hurry — as he won’t last long in the pet food store. Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or lanarkanimals.ca. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

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