CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT COMMERCIAL VEHICLE TRAFFIC FLOW ON BECKWITH STREET WITH NEW DESIGN EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Rob Campbell, president and owner of Campbell's Trucking, raised concerns about the potential impacts commercial vehicles could face if Beckwith Street moves to the parallel parking configuration planned for the main street's redevelopment. Campbell raised the issue before Smiths Falls town council as a delegation on Monday, March 25. He said with the shift to parallel parking, the good traffic flow the town currently enjoys, thanks to the angled parking, will be disrupted. Campbell's concerns come from over 30 years of experience as a commercial trucker.
"I've looked over that big white hood for a long time," he said. From Campbell's experience driving in the region, he said Smiths Falls has by far the best traffic flow - people are able to easily pull into the angled parking spaces on Beckwith without interrupting the flow of traffic. He said when people have to parallel park, vehicles behind them have to come to a complete stop; a big problem for commercial vehicles, especially when heading up the hill on Beckwith. Campbell said that when large trucks carrying big loads try to climb the hill on Beckwith in the winter they can get stuck if they're forced to come to a complete stop on the steep
incline. In addition, he added that when any vehicle is forced to come to a complete stop on a thoroughfare like Beckwith it's going to cause traffic to slow. "Every time that flow stops, you're missing six cars through town," he said. "It's a big deal." Campbell worried that people will be trying to pass cars parallel parking, causing accidents. Campbell said he's not against cyclists or making the downtown more people-friendly, but accommodating these needs has to come at a balance, while maintaining the good traffic flow town has enjoyed for decades. He said this won't be possible with parallel parking. "Do we want to sacrifice
our flow of traffic for bike lanes?" Campbell asked, adding that the bike lanes could be placed on other streets, such as Maple Avenue. Campbell also questioned how much money cyclists really spend in a downtown core - stating that from what he knows, they don't spend very much. Coun. Chris McGuire explained that cycling is a half-billion-dollar industry, citing a study done a couple of years ago by the province's ministry of tourism, culture and sport - an industry on which, he said, Smiths Falls is largely missing out. "There is an economic benefit to the cycle lanes," he said. McGuire explained that Smiths Falls puts up with 34 41
the inconvenience of boats, for the trade-off of tourism that the town receives. "It's a give and a take," he said. Troy Dunlop, the town's director of public works, acknowledged Campbell's concerns regarding traffic flow. He said the town will be looking to optimize signalization as part of Beckwith Street's revitalization to keep traffic moving through town. He said the new traffic lights that will be installed as part of the revitalization will have a "profound" improvement on traffic flow from the current infrastructure that was installed in the 1980s. Dunlop pointed out that many other cities and towns have parallel parking on busy roads such as

Beckwith including Ottawa, Brockville, Napanee, and Gananoque. "It's a long list," he said. "It's been done elsewhere. It can work." Campbell has been invited to join in on discussions about signalization optimization and traffic flow. Various parallel parking options - including marked and unmarked spots, with traditional metered parking or without - will have different impacts and could make it easier for larger vehicles to be accommodated - a concern also raised by Campbell and others. For instance, unmarked parking stalls would allow any sized vehicle to park on Beckwith. Dunlop reported that details of how parallel parking stalls will be configured, whether they will be marked or unmarked or metered with traditional meters or other payment options, will be outlined in the second phase of the town's parking study.

2017 FORD EDGE SEL Laurie Weir/Metroland Audrey Bartlett looks over water bills trying to find a solution to an outrageous charge where the Town of Smiths Falls billed her for using over 70,000 gallons of water in a two-month period in 2017.

with carpeting off the bathroom, which has vinyl flooring. When walking through the home on March 12, there appears to be no leaking pipes in any of the bathrooms, under sinks, or connected to appliances like the dishwasher. There is no backyard pool or hot tub on the premises which could be the cause of the extra water usage. Being on a fixed income, the Bartletts were granted time to pay the bill, and interest charges were removed from the account. "I don't have the extra $50 a month they want me to pay," she said. "Besides, I didn't use the water, so why should I pay for it?" Koziel stated that the Bartletts have been advised that if they wish to pursue a credit, they would have to submit a request in writing to the clerk's office so it could be presented to council for direction. "To date, that has not occurred," Koziel said. The Bartletts have every intention of doing so.

Audrey and Lloyd Bartlett are seniors in Smiths Falls who were hit with a larger-than-normal water bill in January 2017. They are still disputing it. "It's ridiculous," Audrey said on March 12, as she looked over the two years of water bills from the Town of Smiths Falls. They average 10 to 15 cubic metres of water each month, but during the month in dispute they were charged for using 265 cubic metres - more than 70,000 gallons of water resulting in a bill of $650. Their average twomonth water bill is about $180. The town investigated the incident, according to a log of the work done, which was provided to the Record News by treasurer Janet Koziel. An actual reading was made on Feb. 24, 2017, at which time a technician with the town said there was a leak in the basement toilet.
The town document states: "He (the town's technician) indicated that he even showed them the metre 'triangle' which was spinning indicating that they had a leak as they had no other water running at that time. The homeowners were made aware of this issue at that time and they would have to call in a plumber to fix this problem." Audrey is adamant that there was no leak in their toilet; none of the three toilets in their newer home have leaks. They have an ensuite bathroom, a main floor bathroom and a three-piece bath in the basement. Audrey said she had a plumber in to check the basement toilet. "He just kept flushing it," she said. "He didn't even let it fill up before he flushed it again. There was no leak in that (or any other) toilet." If they had a leak, they would have heard water running or seen flooding in the basement, she said. Their basement is finished

ST. LUKE CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL OFFERS ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com
Matthew Drapeau
Josh Langstaff
"To get an apprenticeship you have to get a business to sign you up," she said. "Our school focuses on getting kids into apprenticeships." Another success story is Matthew Drapeau, who graduated in 2011 from St. Luke's service and retail program. From there, he went on to do the two-year culinary chef training program at Loyalist College. After college, Drapeau worked in several kitchens, from pubs to golf courses and fine dining in Ontario; then moved west to the Alberta Rockies where he worked as a first cook at a fine dining restaurant in a small lodge-style hotel. In 2017, Drapeau started a new job as a sous chef at Folding Mountain Brewing, a new microbrewery with a taproom and kitchen located between Jasper National Park and Hinton, Alta. More high schools are incorporating the high skills majors into their programming, following the trend in education to include more real-world applied training. Crosby said what differentiates St. Luke from other area schools is their small class sizes and focus on students heading to college or into the workplace, unlike larger schools that can tend to focus more of their programming on academic stream students. "Our school does not focus on university," she said. The regional high school draws from all over. Students come to St. Luke from Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Perth, Kempt-
ville, Gananoque, Prescott and Almonte. Students who graduate from St. Luke, which is classified as a special education high school, earn the same high school diplo-
ma that you'd get from any other high school. "There's nothing modified about it," said Crosby. Crosby explained that to come to St. Luke, you have to have a learning profile. "All our kids have an IEP (individualized education plan), but not all of our kids have been identified yet," she said. "So, generally it's on recommendation from their home school." However, Crosby said that, as a parent, if you have a student who's disengaged in a regular high
school or who wants to go into the trades they should consider St. Luke. She said parents can always give the school a call, or come to their open house, to see if St. Luke would be a good fit. But, said Crosby, anyone can ask to come to the school. The open house is being hosted at the school on Wednesday, April 10, at 6 p.m. To learn more about St. Luke's programs, visit,stluke.cdsbeo.on.ca.

In a world where the job market is changing, real world skills are valued. This is exactly what St. Luke Catholic High School focuses on to get their students onto the right pathway for their success. "What we really encourage students to do is to think about apprenticeships and getting a job," said St. Luke teacher, Carolyn Crosby. "We're ... a coop high school, focusing on co-operative education; learning by doing." St. Luke runs workplace and college pathways for students with two specialist high skills majors: the hospitality and tourism focus program, and the trade and technology focus program. In the hospitality and tourism program, students learn about guidelines for making nutritious food choices and food-prep skills, among other things. In the trade and technology program, students gain hands-on experience using a variety of construction materials, processes, tools, and equipment. They learn about building design and planning construction projects; create and interpret working drawings and sections; and learn how the Ontario Building Code and other regulations and standards apply to construction projects. During the last school year, Grade 11 and 12 students helped build a garage at St. Luke's new location - the former location of St. James - which is designed to house a welding shop. Last year, a state-of-theart shop class and kitchen was built at the school's new location. The new shop was designed to facilitate learning about carpentry skills and the new commercial kitchen was designed to help students gain skills for fu-
ture careers. In Grade 11 and 12, students work to complete certifications and experiential learning related to their chosen field - making them work-ready right out of school. Crosby said she believes the students graduating from St. Luke have a better chance when facing the changing realities of today's job market. "We have kids that walk out of here and they get hired because they have their working-at-heights (certificate), their WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) ... confined space awareness," she said. St. Luke specializes in co-operative education, offering students a chance to get out into the world all while earning their high school diploma. At St. Luke, students in Grade 10, 11, and 12, earn four high school credits for their coop placement each year. These placements often lead to employment and apprenticeships. "It really is about helping students either get into a job by the end of our program here, to take that college program that they want to do, or the apprenticeships," said Crosby. "That's the big key." One of St. Luke's success stories is Josh Langstaff, who graduated from the St. Luke's trade and technology program last year. During Grade 12, he completed his Level 1 apprenticeship for coach and motor vehicle technician with Algonquin College. Langstaff got a job with Brockville Tractor Trailer Maintenance 2001 LTD and is now completing his Level 2 at Algonquin College.Crosby said students going in to the trades can start their co-ops with companies in Grade 10 and by Grade 12, they have demonstrated their abilities and established trust with an employer.

WHAT HILLIER'S EXPULSION COULD MEAN LOCALLY It didn't come as much of a shock last week when the Ontario Progressive Conservative caucus chose to remove Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier permanently from its ranks. Rumours had been swirling about the expulsion for weeks, until the decision finally came March 15, a day after Hillier went public with a letter to media outlets. In it, he alleged the real reason for his suspension on Feb. 20 wasn't for disrespectful comments to families with autistic children, but for tensions with Premier Doug Ford's senior advisers. He also called on constituents to help sign a petition for his reinstatement. Hillier's expulsion brings to mind when former Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren was removed from the PC caucus in May 2017 over a video that surfaced in 2012 misleading voters and bemoaning French-language rights comments. MacLaren continued his duties, shifting to the Trillium Party of Ontario and even made a run in the June 2018 election but wasn't successful. Will Hillier resign, operate as an independent, or make the move to another party? But there's a bigger question if he remains in office. The veteran MPP has always been an outspoken advocate for constituents but how effective will he be in pushing issues in his riding to the forefront? He no longer has the ear of the premier and caucus. Many of our local municipalities are banking on the province to kick in funds for critical infrastructure upgrades. Take the Town of Carleton Place, for instance. Central Bridge on Bridge Street is in desperate need of replacement within the next five years at an estimated cost of $7.7 million. Its last rehabilitation was in 1983. As a main thoroughfare connecting the town, the tax base can't support the reconstruction and rely on government funding to help with the costs. In Mississippi Mills, who are currently putting the finishing touches on a five-year review of its Community Official Plan, council is concerned over recent news that a completely new Provincial Police Statement could be coming soon. Will this have an impact on all the work that's been done on the document over the past few years? Hillier is expected to appear as a delegation to that council in May and this is a question they have ready for him. Or what about the impact of funds lost through the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund, beginning in 2020, as the province is set to review the funding model? Municipalities rely on these dollars. Not to mention what will now happen with the crusade Hillier recently took on to shake up the roles of conservation authorities across the province? While it remains to be seen how his expulsion will have an impact on the local riding, one thing we can count on, Hillier won't be silent for long.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER THANKS COUNCIL FOR REPRESENTING TRUE INTERESTS OF RESIDENTS
DEAR EDITOR, As a concerned citizen who has been following the recent developments occurring in Smiths Falls and the resulting conflict between the council and the citizens, I am quite relieved at your remarks during former mayor Dennis Staples' delegation on March 18, 2019. I believe if certain angle parking supporters truly wanted to engage council in a meaningful way, they would absolutely not turn down an opportunity to invite you to their meetings, as you have suggested. Instead, they use skewed polls, petitions, misinformation, demeaning emails and Facebook memes as a
reason to justify why they will not be inviting you to their meetings, where some actual constructive dialogue could take place. They somehow feel entitled to run council, despite not being elected. Some have also turned to social media to continue publicly shaming anyone who openly speaks in favour of parallel parking and bike lanes, myself included. For four days in a row last week, night and day, I received screen shots from numerous community members (some I did not even know,) concerned about how some angle parking supporters were portraying me on Facebook. You are absolutely correct that Facebook has become a very toxic forum to speak about this.
However, because of this toxic forum, I know that emails are being sent to council by people claiming "clearly, that Smiths Falls area public is opposed to the decision to revisit the issue" regarding the Beckwith Street design. I am writing today to make it very clear that anyone who claims this, does not speak for me, a Smiths Falls resident. All of council has my support, and likely all the support of any grown adult who does not get involved in petty Facebook banter. I like to think that would represent most of the town's voting population. Thank you for continuing to represent the true interests of the town's residents. Sincerely,
KELLEY DENHAM SMITHS FALLS

READER SUPPORTS ETHICS EDITORIAL DEAR EDITOR, I read with interest the opinion piece concerning "Newsroom Ethics" in the March 14 edition of the Record and found it both insightful and timely. In an era of neanderthal bullies, social media news experts, and the view that 'anything that does not support my opinion is fake news,' the reinforcement of ethics is paramount. One sentence in particular caught my attention: "It would be irresponsible to simply erase what happened from the record." This statement sums up the basis upon which history, our learning journey, is and should be based. In society today, individuals, organizations and factions are clamouring for the omission of unsavoury historical facts, the tearing down of statues and the defamation of key people that formed our nations as we know them. Our history is neither bad nor good, neither saintly nor evil. It is a mélange, a huge melting pot of both, and at any given time the bubbles boiling to the surface are of a different ilk. Ethics involves questioning, looking for and protecting our ideals, beliefs and purpose. It's about discovering our true values and staying with them regardless of the challenges, quirkiness and insanity of the world around us. Sometimes it is fun, sometimes rewarding, but it is never easy. If we let ethics guide us we can sort out history, not erase it, and apply our learning to today in such a way that moving forward we build a future to be proud of. Kudos to the Record for underscoring this fundamental tenet of humanity. Other views are welcome.

SCHOOL BOARDS BRACE FOR CHANGES TO PROVINCIAL AUTISM PROGRAM board, as with all boards, but we're not exactly sure what impact that will be at this point," said John McAllister, chair of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). McAllister said he's concerned with the impact on schools, their operation and staff including teachers, educational assistants and support staff, in terms of training resources. Currently, there are about 300 students in elementary and about 120 in secondary in the UCDSB that have been diagnosed with autism. With the changes coming to the autism program to take effect April 1, these numbers are expected to increase. By how much? School boards don't yet have a clear idea. "This is new territory in that we will be experiencing ... greater numbers of students," said McAllister.
EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com School boards are bracing for the impact of the province's autism program overhaul. The changes could mean more students with autism will be heading to school sooner, which will increase the supports needed in the classroom. The Ford government has decided to shift the funding model for autism therapy to one where families receive money directly based on their child's age. The government has said this was needed to clear the list of 23,000 children waiting in line for governmentfunded therapy. There are children who have not yet joined the school system because they're involved in therapeutic intervention through intensive behaviour analysis. With changes to the program,
THE ISSUE: FORD GOVERNMENT MAKES CHANGES TO PROVINCIAL AUTISM PROGRAM LOCAL IMPACT: AREA SCHOOL BOARDS SAY THE CHANGES MAY MEAN MORE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM WILL BE COMING TO PUBLIC SCHOOL EARLIER, REQUIRING ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS some families may elect to join public schools sooner than they'd anticipated. "There's certainly going to be an impact on this

"We have to manage expectations and manage our resources and we want to treat these young students to the best of our abilities and to the best of their needs." On March 11, Lisa Thompson, Ontario's education minister, presented a number of initiatives the government will implement to help school boards cope with an increase in the number of students on the autism spectrum attending their schools as a result of the autism program reforms. Thompson restated the government's August 2018 pledge to give school boards an average of $12,300 for each new student on the autism spectrum who enters the school system, in addition to creating an autism-specific teacher training course and expanding after-school programs.
While McAllister said the government's willingness to help is a good sign, he said the $12,300 allocated per student, which is the same amount carved out is the same as is given to every other student, won't be sufficient. McAllister said the school board is already taxed financially trying to provide special education programming to students who need it. The increased number of children coming to school sooner, who are on the autism spectrum, could further exacerbate the financial strain, he said. "We're ... making a leap of faith from autistic behaviour therapy to teaching these kids in the classroom," McAllister said. "Our system is certainly already overburdened in special education. It points for the need for a review of the funding formula in general, now more so than ever."
The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) expressed that currently their board also has a number of funding constraints including transportation, something shared by the UCDSB. Donaleen Hawes, CDSBEO's superintendent of school effectiveness, added that flexibility in using funding is becoming more limited and difficult. She said the changes to the autism program will impact their board, too, when it comes to the support provisions required through the school and board for pupils diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Hawes said there isn't enough information right now to clearly identify the requirements moving forward to face the anticipated difficulties, in-

PROVINCIAL AUTISM CHANGES CHALLENGE PARENTS Continued from page 13
cluding the provision of training, transitional support, and the necessary expertise to support the students. "Schools are struggling enough as it is to properly support children with special needs," said Chelsea Metcalfe, a Smiths Falls area mother of two school aged children with autism. "Taking away access to a vital therapy is going to prove disastrous. The effects will be felt by all Ontario families - not just families with special needs." Metcalfe said she's worried about what's going to happen in schools. "Schools are underfunded and not equipped for children on the severe end of the spectrum who have not received therapy," she said. "Intensive ABA (applied behaviour analysis) teaches children the prelearning skills they need to successfully integrate into classrooms." Without this, Metcalfe worries that children with autism will be forced to be segregated from their peers as they will be too disruptive in the classroom and cause other children's education to suffer as well. Stephen Sliwa, the director of education for the UCDSB, said the public school board already adds an additional $9 million to the special education programs and services that it provides. He said the reason for this is due to a change in the funding mod-
el made by the previous government in 2014, which created a gap. "The school board has taken fairly significant steps to bridge that gap with any funds that it can find at its disposal, but it's becoming less and less likely that the school board will be able to do that in the future," said Sliwa. Sliwa said though there are concerns about the amount of funding, school boards, including the CDSBEO, are taking comfort in the assurance the province has made the commitment that any child that's joining them with an ASD diagnosis after the usual count date would also be funded at that amount as other students. "It's important that we know that that funding will be forthcoming," he said. This was echoed by the CDSBEO. "We are pleased to hear that the Ministry intends to provide additional funding and are anxious to receive specific details in order to establish next steps for student accommodations," said Hawes. Sliwa said he is also pleased with the extra training for teachers that the government has promised. "Any kind of qualification helps a teacher develop more confidence and insight about how to serve a wider range of students is always appreciated," he said. Sliwa explained that children with an autism spectrum disorder require more individualized support to help to development communication, behavioural or social skills that may be lacking. "The work in that area is quite intensive," he explained. "It requires to break down tasks to very small pieces, to provide that as part of the child's programing with very quick feedback and confirmation and to make it high engaging and very specific to their needs." Sliwa also noted that the province requires any
child with an ASD that their special education program. "School boards don't do treatment or therapy; that's outside of our mandate," he said. However, Sliwa explained that school boards are required by the province to create individual education plans that supports the applied behaviour analysis or ABA approach that children would have been accustomed to through their therapy to make the learning recognizable with the therapy the child would have received. Right now, UCDSB is working with their community partners who are providing the therapeutic supports to families currently and trying to get an understanding about which children might be coming to join them sooner than later. Both McAllister and Sliwa acknowledge that the situation is fluid and concrete impacts are still unknown. "These are still early days for families when they're trying to figure out what would be best for their children," said Sliwa. "We understand that." Sliwa said the recent commitments by the government to help students transition into the school system are steps in the right direction, there still needs to be a lot more work and investment to ensure success not just for students on the autism spectrum, but when it comes to growing and investing in special education in general.

SMITHS FALLS WELCOMES BONE APPÉTIT PET SPECIALTY STORE PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com A brand-new pet specialty store has opened in Smiths Falls. Bone Appétit Pet Company, located at 1B Main St. E., offers a wide variety of pet foods, toys and accessories for cats, dogs, and smaller pets. Owners Lauren Dryburgh-Stuckless and Leigh-Anne Lavery have worked together in the pet industry for a long time. They say what sets Bone Appétit apart from other pet stores is their unique pet foods and accessories. "We try to offer as many locally-sourced and Canadian products as we can,"
said Dryburgh-Stuckless. "We're willing to collaborate with any local rescues," said Lavery. "We love throwing events, we love helping local rescues and we love animals." To celebrate their grand opening on Saturday, March 9, the store owners welcomed representatives from the Ottawa Dog Rescue, who brought four of their furry friends that are currently available for adoption. "We run a 100 per cent foster system" said Mike Gatta with the Ottawa Dog Rescue. "All the dogs are fostered in family homes around the city, and there are 40-plus foster families in our group."
Adoptable kittens from the Lanark Animal Welfare Society were also in attendance much to shoppers' delight. The event raised funds for both organizations through raffle ticket sales for pet swag gift baskets and nail trims by donation. The store carries allnatural and organic food options and formulas, ecofriendly food/water bowls, leather leashes and collars, cat litter and litter boxes, wireless fences, shampoos, cleaning products, beds, cages, brushes and grooming products, and much more.

An expansion of the plaza, currently home to the LBCO, Dollarama, Pet Valu and other retail and service outlets, will make room for five new commercial tenants and a standalone drive-thru Starbucks. Mark Atkinson, of Full Speed Builders Ltd., on behalf of Otis Properties, the owner of the property at 123 Lombard Street, confirmed that Easy Financial, Easy Home and a Bell Store would be taking up residence in the new units. Atkinson said during an interview on Monday, March 11, that he couldn't confirm which food establishment would be opening up on the property. However, senior town planner, Karl Grenke, confirmed later that day during council's committee of
the whole meeting, that, indeed, a Starbucks would be coming to town. This expansion on the Lombard Street property is part of Phase 3 of the development. The original site plan was approved in 2007 and amended in 2013 to accommodate Phase 2. In 2013, an amending agreement required the completion of the project by the end of 2014. However, Grenke reported before council that, market demand didn't necessitate the development of the third phase until now. This phase will fill in and complete the site. Council approved a site plan control agreement amendment for the property at their meeting on March 11. Grenke said the company is hoping to get construction into full swing by the middle of this month.

WELCOME SPRING WITH SOME SULTRY TANGO MUSIC AT THE STATION THEATRE LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com The Station Theatre is proud to welcome Payadora for our first concert of our 2019 music series; founded in 2013, Payadora has quickly become one of Toronto's most vibrant and sought-after acts. Payadora performs an expansive repertoire of original compositions and their own arrangements of Argentinean folk music and tango. Their broad scope in tango draws from the height of Buenos Aires' tango tradition, including compositions by de Caro, Pugliese, Troilo, and Salgan - to the masterful, contemporary sounds of Astor Piazzolla and beyond. Drawing from eclectic backgrounds in classical, jazz, Latin, Eastern European folk music, and improvisation, Payadora's performances exude technical virtuosity, playful spontaneity and rhythmic vitality. Check them out at www.payadora.com. The band consists of four wonderfully talented artists who can perform a solo show without batting an eyelash. But together they transform into a group that critics have praised as: "Playful, Spontaneous and Sexy!" - Classical 96.3 FM; "Superstar Group" - WholeNote Magazine; "It was difficult to tell who was having more fun - the audience or the performers!" - Ontario Arts Review. Rebekah Wolkstein is the violin and voice of the group: Wisconsin-born, she has made herself a name in Toronto both on stage and in studio. She is also a dedicated educator. Drew Jurecka plays the bandoneon. He is an accomplished jazz and session violinist, but also as an arranger, producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist. He toured with
Submitted/Katharine Coleman The Station Theatre is proud to welcome Payadora for our first concert of our 2019 music series and it opens on Friday, March 29 in Smiths Falls. Pictured are Robert Horvath, piano; Rebecca Wolkstein, violin and vocals; Joseph Phillips, double bass; and Drew Jurecka, bandoneon. Jeff Healey, Jill Barber and Stuart McLean to name a few, and his arrangements and original scores have been used on albums and in plays. He too teaches. Robert Horvath plays piano in the group; he has performed regularly with the Cathedral Bluffs Symphony Orchestra since 2008 and leans toward the classical pieces. Speaking of his recording of Bach's F minor Piano Concerto, renowned vocal coach Elaine Overholt said, "His nuances are exquisite. His incredible technique allows Robert so much range with the dynamics, and his heart leads you to the magic." Musical education is important to Horvath as well, and he fits teaching into his busy schedule. Joseph Phillips plays the double bass. Joe Phillips started studying classical guitar at age nine, at the University Settlement House Music School. He attended Oakwood Collegiate, and after some time playing the clarinet, he discovered the double bass. Time spent playing in various blues bars, Irish pubs and booze cans and four years studying with renowned classical virtuoso Joel Quarrington have led to a busy and diverse career. Joe has performed with the National Arts Cen-
tre Orchestra and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, to name a few. The tango has been called a "dance of sorrow" it represents frustrated love and human fatality, although originally the dance was not so deep and serious. The original tango music had no lyrics to it and the dances were mostly improvised, and in some cases were almost a combination of dance and wordless theatre. Tango has been described as "a feeling that is danced." If you remember the scene in Scent of a Woman when Al Pacino's blind character leads a lady in a tango, you will remember the feelings it brought with it; this music has a distinct, sensual feeling to it. A wonderful way to welcome in the newness of all that is spring. The show starts at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 29 - tickets will be on sale at Special Greetings, 8 Russell Street, Smiths Falls (cash only) and can be picked up half an hour before the start of show at the box office at 53 Victoria Ave. Online and telephone orders are available too. Adult tickets are $30 and student/ child tickets are $15. For more info, call The Station Theatre at 613-283-0300, or check us out online at www.smithsfallstheatre.com.
TOWN LAUNCHES NEW ONLINE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SERVICE The Town of Smiths Falls has enlisted the services of Bang the Table, an online community engagement tool to facilitate community input, public engagement and feedback. This resource can be accessed through the town's new online platform: Speak Up Smiths Falls. "We are excited to bring this innovative and citizen
focused resource to Smiths Falls," said Malcolm Morris, the town's chief administrative officer. "Bang the Table will take our community engagement efforts to the next level, and help us collect feedback through a range of online tools." In Ontario, every municipality must meet provincial requirements when it comes to community en-
gagement for specific projects and activities. Community engagement tools like public meetings and information sessions are commonly used to facilitate community engagement. Other tools include the municipal website, email and social media. "There are many reasons to engage with the community and it can be challeng-

Last year, the town brought in over $2 million in permit fees. Between 2017 and 2018, permit fees taken in by the town increased by 407.9 per cent. In the last five years, between 2014 and 2018, fees have increased by 2175.2 per cent. Building permit fees: 2014-$110,618.13 2015-$53,778.64 2016-$128,237.04 2017-$407,215.03 2018-$2,516,774.76. Building permit fees are set to cover all costs associated with serving building
permits and enforcing the act and code. A building code reserve fund was established in order to safeguard the town's ability to continue to enforce the act and code and avert passing on the associated costs to general taxation. The 2018 surplus within building services after completing the year-end audit, is currently $2,516,774.76. That's up from the $502,340 year-end balance in the building reserve in 2017. Coun. Niki Dwyer called the amount of money in reserve "staggering." "It's nothing that we've ever seen before," she said. Dwyer asked town staff if the money in the building reserve was flagged in the audit, as she said there could be a threat to reduce the building fees to balance out the drastic inflation of the reserve. Treasurer Janet Koziel said she's had in-depth conversations with the auditor who knows that this is going to be an anomaly for a few years. There will be a report coming before council at the future meeting to discuss the reserve fund in further detail.
KENYA HELP COMPLETES 80-SEAT CLASSROOM THANKS IN PART TO SMITHS FALLS DONORS EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Kenya Help is at it again. The organization completed their 80-seat classroom at Osupuko Primary School in the Rift Valley. "We had an amazing and successful trip in February," said Stevens.

of meals were supplied, school fees were paid, and clothes were delivered. "We are thrilled for all of the work that was completed by everyone who donated to Kenya Help," said Steven. "KH could not be able to help so many without the hearts of those who have kept it going all of these years." Stevens also gave a shoutout to her Kenya Help construction crew on the ground. "(They) never cease to amaze me with their work," she said.
Plans for 2020 are already starting to fall into place.

SOUTER John Randell
On Thursday, March 21, 2019, John lost a brave fight against cancer. He died at home, since that was his wish, after a fulfilling life of service to his family, his teaching career and his community. John was born and raised in Johnshaven, a fishing village of 700 souls on the north-east coast of Scotland. He was educated at the University of Aberdeen, earning an M.A. in Geography. After being interviewed in Edinburgh Scotland John arrived here in 1968, to begin his career teaching Geography at Almonte District High School and his life in Canada.. In 1973, John married a fellow teacher, Mary Lou Murphy, and together they made a formidable team, both within the school environment and the community. In 1980 they coordinated the Almonte Centennial Celebrations a nine day festival featuring more than 75 events. Afterwards, John was elected to the first of three terms on Almonte Town Council where, as EDC Chairman, he negotiated the initial development of the town’s industrial park. He also dedicated hundreds of hours as the founder and first Chair of the North Lanark Highland Games, subsequently serving as a Director for more than 30 years. John has been active in many community organizations, but is perhaps most proud of his time as Executive member and President of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 240. John oversaw multiple renovation projects to its heritage building, collected the stories of veterans which he shared in a column for the Almonte Gazette, and partnered with ADHS staff and students to develop a WW II memory project which led to the publication of the book, “Age Shall Not Weary Them”. John and Mary Lou were awarded the 2008 Mississippi Mills Cultural Volunteerism Award for their work on behalf of the community. John was a proud and loving father to his sons and daughters-in-law – Dugald and Jodi, David and Valeria. He adored his grandchildren, Nea, Angus and Meaghan, and embraced the extended Murphy clan as his Canadian family. Friends may visit to share memories at the C. R.

DESPITE LACK OF FUNDS, BIRTHDAYS WERE SPECIAL OCCASIONS FATHER HAD TO DIG DEEP FOR SISTER AUDREY, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
My sister Audrey's birthday was coming up, and even though there never was much celebration, like having a party and asking friends over, Mother always tried to make the supper meal special. That meant a birthday cake of course, and it also meant little presents. One dime would be buried in the batter before the cake went into the oven. Since there were five of us children, Mother made sure there would be five little presents in the cake, and it was assumed Audrey would get the ten-cent piece. I watched Mother put the cake together in the big brown bowl, and the little presents were no surprise. They were what came in a five-cent box of Cracker Jacks, accumulated over a long time, and put away especially to be put into the birthday cake. They were wrapped in small pieces of waxed paper, as was the dime. I watched mother pour the cake batter into two cake tins, and then, with a spoon, sink the little wrapped presents and the dime deep into the cake. For birthdays, and spe-
cial occasions, we always had chocolate cake. This was a luxury, because a can of Watkins cocoa was not cheap! And as the cake cooled on the bake table, I could smell the richness of the chocolate, and many times I went close just so I could get a good whiff of it. We always had pork chops on Audrey's birthday, since they were her favourite, and Mother would dip them in eggs and bread crumbs before frying them, just the way Audrey liked them. Finally, the table was cleared of the vegetable bowls, the meat platter, and dishes of pickles. The cake was brought from the bake table and set before Audrey who would have the honour of cutting it and blowing out the one candle that was used for everyone's birthday. Then Audrey cut into the cake, big wedges, and slapped them on the small plates in front of her. I could see bits and pieces of wax paper, and Audrey made sure that the four brothers and I each got a piece with a little prize in it. She was some fair, was my sister Audrey! But where was the dime? Mother didn't have to tell us that whoever got it had to hand it over to Audrey. We knew it would be hers. After all, it was her birth-
day. Father was the last to finish. He shoved his plate away, and as plain as the nose on your face, there in front of him was a small bit of crumbled wax paper and the ten-cent coin. "That should just about buy me a small plug of tobacco at Briscoe's," he said, moving it around under his finger. He picked it up, got off his chair and headed for the rocker in front of the Findlay Oval tucking the dime into his overall pocket. Mother just stared at him, and my sister, who would never defy either parent, slowly began to get ready to wash the dishes. When Father got to the rocker, he dug into his overall pocket, and said, "Here Audrey, I think this is yours." Audrey reached out and Father dropped the dime, and then another dime, into her hand. Two whole dimes! Only one was in the cake, and as luck would have it, it appeared in Father's wedge. It didn't take Audrey long to tear upstairs and tie both dimes in the corner of her hanky, adding them to the small collection of coins she had been saving for a very long time. Father would have to go into the sugar bowl in the cupboard to get a few coins to buy his next plug of tobacco. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

March is Nutrition Month, and what better time than to look at the new Canadian Food Guide released earlier this year? From a dietitian's perspective, the new food guide - which incorporates more fruits and vegetables, less dairy and meat products, and encourages water as the drink of choice - has evolved. Ashley Moisiuk, Katelyn Purdy, Jana Plaunt and Chandra Snarr are dietitians at Rideau Community Health Services (including Smiths Falls Community Health Centre, Merrickville District Community Health Centre, and Rideau Valley Diabetes Services); the women talked with Metroland Media in mid-February from the Smiths Falls office about the guide. "In the first time in its existence, it's evidence-based," said Plaunt. "They have Canadians' health as priority." Purdy said that a concern of hers is with the lack of milk or dairy on the new menu. "That's a very strong calcium source," she said. "There's not a ton of other foods that have that same amount of calcium per serving. Bone health down the road is a concern." But what's nice about the new guide is that the picture seen on the front of the food guide is what they have been teaching their clients for healthy eating - to manage blood sugars. "We talk about the divided plate method, so this is a nice confirmation for people. It looks delicious and (has) lots of variety," Purdy noted. Plaunt said that the importance of variety is key for healthy eating. The plate method shows half
THE QUESTION: IS THE CANADIAN FOOD GUIDE A BETTER FIT FOR TODAY'S CANADIAN? CONCLUSION: DESPITE THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF DAIRY AND MEAT ON THE MENU, THE NEW AND EVOLVED FOOD GUIDE IS AN ATTRACTIVE TOOL TO HELP CANADIANS EAT BETTER the plate filled with fruits and vegetables, a quarter filled with grains, and a quarter filled with protein. Purdy said to think back to when you were visiting your grandparents, and how big those plates were - or how small they were. "Plates have grown in size over the years," she said. "At home, we try to stay inside that inner rim." Plaunt said that pulses (plant-based proteins) are encouraged throughout the food guide, which also recommends cooking more often - instead of eating out - and cooking with your family.
FROM A FARMER'S PERSPECTIVE John Bongers, of Cooligan Creek Farm near Chantry, is a second-generation farmer in Leeds County. He said that the new food guide has missed an opportunity to use dairy and meat as healthy alternatives - but overall, as a consumer, the new plate is attractive. "On the whole, it's not bad," he said in a phone interview. "There's a lot of good recommendations in there. Where I
Laurie Weir/Metroland Katelyn Purdy, Jana Plaunt, Chandra Snarr (on the screen) and Ashley Moisiuk are dieticians at the Rideau Community Health Services (including Smiths Falls Community Health Centre, Merrickville District Community Health Centre, and Rideau Valley Diabetes Services). think they really missed the boat (is) on the latest science on saturated fats - fats coming from meat and dairy. In moderation of course, it's part of a healthy diet." A healthy fat found in nuts, seeds and avocado are encouraged on the new food guide, but how sustainable is this for Canadians, Bongers questioned. The United States produces over two million tons of almonds annually. "I think that's something else the food guide missed on a bit, was the sustainability of food production," Bongers said. "We can grow a limited amount of fruit, and a certainly amount of vegetables can be grown in greenhouses over the winter. It's cold and snowy outside. We're not going to be producing a lot of the food that is recommended under the food guide, so we have to look at alternatives, and those alternatives are dairy and beef." Bongers said there are many choices of dairy products that are easy, and that's the problem with the Canadian diet. "We are always looking for convenience, and a lot of the convenient food are not healthy. They are basically processed carbs and sugar. The food guide was clear that we have to limit those processed carbs and sugar, and that's a recommendation that I think everyone agrees with. It also has added advantage of being a locallyproduced product - it didn't come from thousands of miles away," he said. "It's produced by basically your neighbour and
consumed by people in the area in which it was produced. It has that going for it as well." As a consumer, Bongers said that he finds the new food guide attractive. "If I look at it from a neutral position, there is a lot of positives in this new food guide. Cooking from scratch, eating as a family, these things are good and important. It emphasizes fruit and vegetables, and I don't think that can be ignored or downplayed. But we live in a country that is cold eight months of the year, but we have a ready source of dairy and meat and they are very healthy products. And they missed an opportunity to include some very healthy, locally, sustainably-produced product in that food guide." It has minimalized dairy and meat to a large degree, Bongers added. "It didn't need to be. Milk, cheese, yogurt are really healthy product. Red meat, done properly and eaten in moderation, is a really healthy food. You can't overstate that enough."
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
The new Canadian Food Guide shows a colourful array of fruits and vegetables, plant-based proteins, and water as the drink of choice. Dietitians weigh in on the new guide, as does a local farmer who says that it misses the boat on sustainable proteins like meat and dairy products.
GRACELAND PILGRIMAGE FULFILLED LONGTIME WISH JEFF MAGUIRE GIVES GRACELAND TWO THUMBS DOWN FOR COMMERCIALISM JEFF MAGUIRE Column
In his Grammy-winning 1986 song "Graceland," popular American singersongwriter Paul Simon reveals his thoughts during a road trip to the home of legendary entertainer Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. In the lyrics, Simon states, "For reasons I cannot explain there's some part of me wants to see Graceland." Even though I can't list myself as a dedicated fan of Elvis Aaron Presley, I have always appreciated his tremendous talent and the major impact he had on the world of entertainment.
Not only did Elvis earn the title "King of Rock and Roll," but his musical talent crossed many genres; he was also a very credible actor, appearing in 31 movies. There's no question that he is one of the cultural icons of the 20th century! Like Paul Simon, my wife Kathleen and I have long been drawn to Graceland. We have visited Tennessee many times over the years, and have a number of friends in the growing Nashville suburb of Franklin. We had harboured a longtime wish to see Memphis, but for whatever reasons, we had not travelled there - until this month, that is! A catalyst for our visit to west Tennessee was the
opportunity to go there in the company of our good friends from England, Martin and Wendy Ireton. They journeyed from their home in West Yorkshire to spend 10 days with us, mainly in Nashville and area. Like us, they had long wanted to see Elvis' beloved mansion. If you are a music fan, there are no better places to visit than Nashville and Memphis. Both cities are at the heart of the industry! Still, it was Graceland that was at the top of our list of things to do in Memphis. When Elvis purchased the mansion and surrounding 14-acre property in March 1957 (for $102,500) it was in a rural setting - urban sprawl has since surrounded it in commercial and residential development. Graceland is on the east side of Tennessee State

Highway 51, along a stretch of roadway now dubbed "Elvis Presley Boulevard." Since his untimely death, in 1977 at the tender age of 42, Graceland has been owned by his surviving family; his daughter and only child Lisa Marie Presley inherited it in 1993 when she turned 25. We were impressed by the mansion itself, which continues to have the feel of the 1960s-style residence Elvis developed and loved so much. The original 10,266-square-foot Colonial Revival style mansion was built in 1939 for a Memphis socialite and her husband. The expansive surrounding property includes the "Meditation Garden," containing the graves of the singer, his parents Vernon and Gladys and his grandmother Minnie Presley. The house tour is limit-
ed to the main floor and basement of the mansion. There is original memorabilia, including many family photographs throughout the house and outbuildings. Also on the Graceland estate is a separate structure containing Vernon Presley's office, the racquetball building (Elvis was heavily into the sport at one time) and of course, the family cemetery. Graceland itself is puny compared to the vast commercial complex across the boulevard, which is owned and operated by a separate company. So, do we recommend
the Graceland experience? The house, property and family cemetery are definitely worth seeing. As for the commercial complex nearby, I give that aspect of the visit two thumbs down. Overdone in my opinion, but I'm sure Elvis' ardent fans will beg to differ. It is all in the eye of the beholder, after all! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, there are a few ways a situation at work can go. Not every path may meet with your utmost approval. But you may have to swallow your pride and compromise.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, illnesses or medical obstacles can have many sources — from the foods you eat to your emotional wellness. Start jotting things down in a journal to figure out how to feel and look your best.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 For so long you have been doling out advice to other people and helping them improve their lives, Aquarius. Now you are the one who could benefit from some counsel.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Important decisions cannot be made in a matter of minutes, Gemini. You really have to work through all the angles. Seek opinions from trusted friends.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 If illness has been going around, Virgo, do your best to avoid getting sick. Be diligent in handwashing and other preventive measures.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your perseverance is a source of inspiration to others, Sagittarius. Don’t be bashful when others share these thoughts with you. Accept their well wishes and give thanks.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a recent birthday celebration could have you feeling like you need to make drastic changes. But small ones can fit the bill as well.

DELTA AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY RECEIVES $6,000 GRANT FOR EXHIBIT HALL UPGRADES The Delta Agricultural Society received a $6,000 grant through the Farm Credit Canada AgriSpirit Fund. The grant will assist the society in making the main exhibit hall more energy-efficient through the installation of additional insulation. The FCC AgriSpirit Fund, which helps community-minded individuals and groups undertake projects that enhance the quality of life in rural Canada, has supported 1,170 projects, with an investment in excess of $13.5 million. Receipt of the FCC grant comes after an influx of $30,000 in funding from the Township of Rideau Lakes to assist with the purchase of a generator and new kitchen appliances for the hall. The Delta Agricultural Society recently entered into agreement with the municipality to allow the main exhibit hall to be used as a shelter in the event of a local emergency.
