PROPOSED ZONING PUTS CANNABIS PRODUCTION FACILITY AT RISK EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com A cannabis producer setting up shop in Montague may not be able to grow at their current location if the township passes proposed cannabis cultivation zoning as it's currently written. Montague's council is considering adopting a zoning bylaw amendment to regulate cannabis cultivation facilities in the township - including indoor facilities, outdoor growing and greenhouses. Reeve Bill Dobson explained at a public meeting held at Montague's township office on Tuesday, April 2, that the proposed zoning would permit cannabis cultivation in certain rural, agricultural and in-

As the draft policy currently reads, the proposed zoning includes a 150-metre set back from a cannabis production facility to residential properties, meaning that Dr. Bud Inc. a cannabis production facility currently being set up at 4 Wellington St. would not be able to operate at their current location since it's located next to residential properties within the setbacks proposed. In 2015, the Brun Del Re family purchased the property that used to be home to a school, cheese factory and welding shop. Since then, the family has invested $1.5-million to retrofit the 18,000-square-foot building to serve as an inSee MONTAGUE, page 13

The open container system keeps items separated in a loose format for ease of collection, dumping, sorting and processing. The practice of placing recyclables (cans, glass and plastics) within clear bags has resulted in numerous issues at the facility that processes these materials at the end of the line in Renfrew. Plastic bags are not a recyclable material and as such should not be used to hold recyclables at the curb. If you are finding that you may have more than one recycling container per week, please consider one or more of the following options: • flatten as many of your metal cans and plastic bottles as possible; • place out a second container which may be easily dumped (such as a cardboard box); or • consider purchase of a second blue/yellow bin container at a local hardware store or local Town Hall. The Town of Smiths Falls would like to thank you for your continued participation in our recycling program.
Evelyn Harford/Metroland Giancarlo Brun Del Re, one of the owners of Dr. Bud Inc., says the company located at 4 Wellington St. in Montague, will not be able to grow cannabis at their current site if the proposed zoning is passed as it currently reads.

COUNCIL TO VOTE ON BECKWITH STREET PUBLIC MEETING EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com After 10 weeks of protest, Smiths Falls council has decided to vote on whether or not to host a public meeting on Beckwith Street's reconstruction. Council agreed at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, April 8, that holding a vote would be the best course of action. That vote, which will decide if a public meeting will go ahead, is slated to take place at the next council meeting on Monday, April 15. Mayor Shawn Pankow said that he's open to an open house style format where people can come and see the up-to-date design work to help the public understand the vision behind the complete street. "We've got a beautiful end result," he said. "We've got an incredibly transformed downtown that is going to be an injection of new life downtown that will support our business environment, enable accessibility and active transportation and draw people in."
Protesters, which have been demonstrating outside town hall each week in opposition to council's decision to implement a complete street, ousting angled parking in favour of bike lanes and parallel parking, have been calling on them to hold a public meeting something also urged by former Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples. "We've got two really built-up sides on this and I think we need to, as a community, have a candid discussion of how do we move forward," said Coun. Chris McGuire. "How do we go to the grocery store without staring at people? How do we walk down the street without boycotting businesses?" Council was originally presented with options for a public forum on March 4. However, at that time, they opted to allow delegations to speak on Beckwith Street rather than hosting a larger format public meeting. Coun. Niki Dwyer said a public meeting could help curb some of the "rampant misinformation" about the outcome of the design. Dwyer acknowledged that
perhaps the town has not communicated some of the facts surrounding the project in a forum that people can relate - an interactive public meeting with staff and council could help provide this. On April 8, council also considered whether or not to hold a vote to reverse the design for Beckwith Street's reconstruction in favour of the previous council's preferred design featuring angled parking (Option 1) - something that has been urged by the thousands of people who have signed petitions both requesting a public meeting and calling on council to reinstate Option1. This idea was shot down by the majority of council. The question of whether or not to reverse the design will not go forward to a vote. The Beckwith Street project has already gone out to tender. The tender is set to close on Thursday. McGuire said that at this point, revisiting the Beckwith Street design would dig the wound deeper and give false hope to the public. "It's not going to pass," he said.

Carnegie pointed out that there are some students who will have difficulties with completing required online courses. "Some people can't af-

The school said that the protest is an opportunity for parents and, or guardians to discuss how, given this digital age that we live in, there are other ways for their children to express their views than losing time in their classrooms.

TRINITY UNITED CHURCH VOTES TO BECOME AFFIRMING MINISTRY EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Churches across the country are taking another step toward inclusion and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, including right here in Smiths Falls. Trinity United Church voted to become an affirming ministry in February - meaning they will be public, intentional and explicit in their support to and inclusion of people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Rev. Christopher Ryan said, that while Trinity has sought to be a fully-inclusive congregation, as an affirming ministry the church won't only be a welcoming space, they will also advocate and participate to see that people who fall under the umbrella of LGBTQ+ are celebrated and wanted within the church and everywhere. "People used to be comfortable explicitly exclusive, now we want
to be comfortable being explicitly inclusive," he said. The Affirming Ministries Program is a network of primarily United Church ministries that declare themselves to be fully inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The program was launched in 1992, but it wasn't until 2000 that The United Church of Canada officially endorsed the program and encouraged its ministries to participate. According to Affirm United, there are over 100 ministries in the affirming process. Recently, St. Paul's United Church in Perth voted to become an affirming ministry. As part of Trinity's process to become an affirming ministry, the church voted to revise their vision statement to reflect that they're inclusive of all sexual orientations and gender identities and amend and update their marriage policy so it's explicitly inclusive of LGBTQ+ people.
Evelyn Harford/Metroland Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls is now an affirming congregation. Pictured here from left to right, chair of the church's governing body Jan Montgomery, Norma Wrightly, outreach and social justice committee member and secretary of spiritual leadership, Rev. Christopher Ryan, and Heather Quinn, chair of spiritual leadership and secretary of outreach and social justice. The church did conduct marriage ceremonies prior to voting to become an affirming ministry.

25 YEARS ON, THE WORLD REMEMBERS THE RWANDAN GENOCIDE EVELYN HARFORD REFLECTS ON HER TRIP TO RWANDA, AS THE COUNTRY MARKS 25 YEARS SINCE THE GENOCIDE Five years ago, I travelled to Rwanda - the East African country known as the land of one thousand hills. It's also known for something else. Twenty-five years ago, in April 1994, an ungodly three-month long massacre of 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus began. The 100 days of genocide witnessed in Rwanda wasn't supposed to happen - not in the era of "never again." Rwanda was in my heart as the nation, and the world, reflected on the 25th anniversary of the genocide on Sunday, April 7, as 100 days of mourning begins. During my travels through the country, which should be known for so much more than genocide, we stopped at two sites of mass murder - a school and a church on the outskirts of Kigali, Rwan-

da's capital city. As I entered Nyamata Church, bullet holes dotted the walls and tin roof letting streams of sunlight in, illuminating the clothes of those who had been slaughtered in their place of worship. Years of dust covered the dresses and suits piled on rows upon rows of pews. An eerie moment of reflection swept me. What must these people have felt as they were persecuted by their own neighbours and perhaps, at one time, friends, in a place supposed to be filled with peace? The smell of terror had not left that place - a place of learning, reflection and remembrance, a shrine to an atrocity that humanity was capable of, a reminder that if we don't acknowledge the horror possible it can and will happen again. Rwanda has been a country committed to reconciliation - part of that is to look forward, but not lose sight of what is in the rear view mirror of the country's history. The sites
of remembrance remain shrines to those who were victimized by an organized, brutal, murderous blood bath that soaked a nation. Churches and schools places considered as safe were used against the victims. Men, women, and most horrifically, children, were not spared from the violence. I will never forget walking into a schoolhouse with backpacks holding the dreams and hopes of the students hanging from the rafters, pint-sized clothing piled high, amid the backdrop of a brown-stained wall. "What's that?" I asked our guide. He explained very matter-of-factly that the circular stain was the spot where the murderers, who had swept through the school to eliminate those inside, had killed children by hitting them against the wall. This is the reality of the horror that was inflicted on Rwanda. That stain, which will forever be imprinted on my heart, is a constant reminder that we must never forget.

HOW DO REPORTERS GET THEIR SOURCES? THE HANDLING OF SOURCES IS NOT SOMETHING JOURNALISTS TAKE LIGHTLY, WRITES HOLLIE PRATT HOLLIE PRATT Column
insideottawavalley.com
It's about trust. Our relationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This column is part of that project. How do you get your sources? It's one of the most frequent questions journalists receive, and the handling of sources is not something we take lightly. Sometimes sources come to us. We'll be approached by a community member we've made a connection with through another story, or taking a phone call, email or social media message from someone who has an interesting story to tell. For routine types of reporting such as crime, all factual information should be confirmed by an official source - for example, the police in the case of a crime. Responsible journalists avoid publishing rumours by getting the facts from sources whose job it is to know the truth in
such situations. Other times we must look a little harder for sources. This could mean reaching out to people via email, social media and phone, or even knocking on doors in search of comments. Usually, these types of sources add colour to your story - anecdotal accounts and/or character descriptions of the story's subject. The public interest is best served when news sources are identified by their full name, and we always encourage people to go on the record; however, there are exceptions. Sometimes, reporters will use confidential sources if that is the best way to serve the public interest. Underage and vulnerable people may also require anonymity for their own safety. The decision to publish comments by an anonymous source is not one we take lightly. The reporter must discuss the situation with their senior editor, and if the decision is made to move forward with the comments, the reporter must describe in the article why the source is not being named. Essentially, everyone, including you reading this article right now, is a potential source for a reporter. You never know when you may be invited to contribute your knowledge or expertise to a future story. Hollie Pratt is digital editor for Metroland Media East. We welcome your questions and value your comments. Email our trust committee at trust@metroland.com.

OCNA AWARDS GALA RECOGNIZES NEWSPAPERS' BEST LAURIE WEIR WRITES ABOUT AN AWARD-WINNING TRIP WITH COLLEAGUES LAURIE WEIR Column
Friday, April 5 was a night to celebrate, as our 80plus Metroland papers racked up 73 Ontario Community Newspapers Association awards, and our news team of 10 in the Ottawa Valley earned seven of them. Smiths Falls reporter, Evelyn Harford earned our only first place plaque with her story on LGBTQ+ issues surrounding the town's first pride event last summer. The judge said it was a story that highlights the concerns and experiences of people we haven't historically seen represented. This one did a particularly good job of that and Evelyn let the voices of the people speak for themselves. We had four second
place finishes. Tara Gesner's series on the political scene in Carleton Place earned the number two spot and her first-ever OCNA award. The judge highlighted her "very thorough look at a small town meltdown at the hands of the current mayor." Desmond Devoy had the other second place finish with his headline writing, which included 'Urine Trouble', and '50 Shades of Brown'. The judge said these headlines had him laughing and that he actually enjoyed reading about pee and paint trouble in Perth. Evelyn also received two second-place finishes: one for environmental writing, in what the judge said was an important story and what community journalism is all about; and one for her story about the missing soldiers' names on the Smiths Falls cenotaph,
which was "a well documented story." Desmond was third for a creative 'grip-and-grin' photo of balls being presented to local schools. He had the staff at Metro, Perth toss a bunch of balls in the air, which the judge said created action which is good for a static photo. I earned third place for a health and wellness story, which highlighted the need for AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in Perth after a man had a heart attack while playing soccer and his teammates administered CPR. Of note from the judge: "It's a great mix of strong quotes from a variety of sources and helpful medical information. This is a story that could potentially safe a life." It was nice to kick back with my colleagues and have some fun. We hope you enjoyed our stories over the past year, and we're committed to bringing you even more of them in the future.

SMITHS FALLS GROUP FIGHTS BACK ON ANGLED PARKING ramps (although our mayor keeps saying there is). I refuse to just take his word for that because the diagrams are pretty clear. People have been advocating for a public forum. Their request just falls on deaf ears. Taxpayers are not being heard and are given excuse after excuse for not having a public forum. A petition was presented with over 3,000 signatures, collected in less than three weeks at the time. It is still growing daily. The mayor says he was emailed by 150 people providing input about this issue but won't clarify if they were for the change or not. He also won't provide proof of support for his decision to overturn the last council's ruling. This is not a democracy. There is no funding to date for this top surface change and again will fall upon the taxpayers. It's a change the majority do not want! So far, 56 of the downtown businesses have been polled and 49 are for angled, six for parallel and one doesn't care. They are not being heard. Forty-four businesses in and around town have petitions for customers to sign. This is a big deal in this small town. Bike lanes will be put in for five blocks ... not leading to other bike lanes or trails but for five blocks ... seriously, how does this make sense? I'm tired of my tax dollars being wasted on things that serve no purpose. The former mayor and former councillor are supporting angled parking. I'm all for change and giving this small town a much needed facelift. But it has to be done responsibly. Angled parking is not something that needs to be fixed. Having Smiths Falls become a tourist destination for food and shopping like Westport or Merrickville, would be wonderful. But with our growing little town we have to make things accessible, unique, attractive and practical; the angled parking provides that. It's part of the town that is loved by many.
There are still many questions to be asked, and a public forum would certainly help bring some healing to this community by clearing up the "misinformation." As a taxpaying citizen, I encourage this to happen.
CAROLYNN MCTAVISH THE SMITHS FALLS FIGHTS BACK GROUP
PC CAUCUS SINGING PRAISES OF NEW AUTISM PROGRAM: READER DEAR EDITOR, Parents roared and the province flinched. Across Ontario, organizations, service providers and parents of children living with autism are outraged at the province's cuts to the services their children need. The backlash faced by Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, is starting to work, with the announcement of "tweaks" to the new Ontario Autism Program. Unfortunately, these changes do little to help families and do more to make PC MPPs look as if they give a damn about our kids. While it's nice that neighbouring PC MPP Steve Clark supports the "tweaks" to the program that will only benefit families who make more than $250,000 a year, I'm sure his many constituents who make less than that aren't so happy. Our now independent MPP Randy Hillier took a harsher stance, saying that the present policy "falls well short" of understanding the challenges parents face. He also makes several recommendations to enhance the new autism plan, many of which, like changing the model to a needs-based approach, I completely agree with. One of his recommendations, however, included lessening regulatory restrictions on therapists who work with children with autism. This would mean more therapists and therefore shorter wait-times. As a regulated professional myself, I completely disagree. I spent some time talking with a psychotherapist about Hillier's recommendation. She agreed
in part, but then also agreed that our children deserve the most qualified professionals. We fight for regulation, why would we lessen it now. Ultimately, the changes need to be stopped, or at the very least paused for public consultation. There is still a lot of discussion that needs to happen or these cuts will hurt children. The only ones singing the praise of the new autism program are members of the PC caucus.

WHEN WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED? DEAR EDITOR,The traditional view of Good Friday crucifixion cannot be maintained because on the day the Passover lambs were being killed, Jesus told the disciples where to prepare that evening's meal. After sunset they ate the meal, walked to the Garden of Gethsemane and prayed for another three hours. A Wednesday crucifixion on the other hand would allow for the three days and nights in the tomb, with a resurrection after sunset Saturday night. On Sunday morning Mary met Jesus at the tomb, but later that day He met two disciples on their way to Emmaus. These men were all Jews so this Sunday must have been after the end of the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread because all Jewish males are required to keep the feast for seven days in Jerusalem. A High Sabbath is the first weekly Sabbath after the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and never on Nisan 15. The Easter tradition cannot be harmonized with what is clearly stated in the Bible and the simple answer is, in the fourth century the early church fathers falsified the historical facts to fit into pagan traditions to encourage more pagans to be Christian. The day of preparation is the key to unlocking the truth about the timing of the crucifixion because it only occurs on the day before a Sabbath, weekly or ceremonial but never on a Sabbath day.

DEAR EDITOR, Some people wonder why I am for Smiths Falls keeping the angled parking instead of parallel parking. The debate was settled a year ago after many public meetings and conversations with the taxpayers of this small town. The councillors did their due diligence through careful research and public input. Heard on Oct. 18, 2018, chamber of commerce meeting: "Getting rid of the downtown angled parking will not be brought up again since the town cannot receive a grant to reconstruct something that the community is not in agreement over changing." Now in our new council term (third meeting, to be exact) the issue was brought up and the vote was rescinded. No public input. No public meetings. No public anything! The complete opposite of what happened one year ago. People are mad and upset! By avoiding the public, I feel this council has turned up its nose at the taxpayers because they already had their answer. The question about parking was posed at election time but was never asked of the candidates as it was a "non-issue" for me, personally. My vote would be different had I known! They say the number of parking spots will be the same either way, and that is only because the designs give more space for the parallel parking and create more spaces on the side roads. This new plan will have people trying to parallel park on a very busy main street that is used as a link between different highways. This connecting link not only caters to local traffic but transports and other vehicles coming and going through town. This would slow the flow of traffic drastically and dramatically. There are no dedicated spots for the disabled in the parallel diagram, and the spaces are smaller than the town's own bylaw of 6.7 meters. The diagram also shows cars so squished together that I can't see any room for rear exiting
If the Passover was on a Friday then Jesus entered Jerusalem on Monday Nisan 10, ate the Last Supper on the evening of the Passover, now Nisan 15. He was crucified the following Wednesday and placed in the tomb on the next day, Thursday, the sixth day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the day of preparation for the seventh day of the of the feast. The only year that fits with all the facts is 27 CE, 46 years after Herod decreed he would rebuild the temple and the year after Pilate became governor over Judea.

PHOTOS OF ORIGINAL CPR STATIONS FROM SMITHS FALLS TO MATTAWA SOUGHT FOR OVRT PROJECT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com If you have photos of any of the original stations along the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) route from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, two Lanark County councillors would like to hear from you. Last month, Montague Reeve Bill Dobson and Tay Valley Deputy Reeve Barrie Crampton, embarked on a project to capture a piece of the railbed's history, now partially owned by Lanark County and known as the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail (OVRT). The initiative involves recreating those 45 stations, on a quarter scale, to serve as shelters for users of the OVRT. Dobson and Crampton expanded on the idea during the Lanark County economic development committee meeting March 27. They also presented earlier to the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation. "Part of this idea is to allow people to get out of the inclement weather and have a place to go to," explained Dobson, " ... and at the same time, it's dual purpose
and also promotes the history of the area." However, in order to kick the project into gear, Dobson and Crampton are looking for old photographs to work from. "The stations aren't there. There's no history anymore," Dobson commented. "We want to be able to recreate the history and original design of the buildings." Crampton said they have been able to collect several photographs, but need to fill in some gaps. "We're hoping people can look in their shoeboxes or photo albums at home," he noted, adding that some stations may not be stations at all, but simply a shelter or platform along the route. "Those pictures would also be helpful." "Some stations were just a bench and a table to put luggage on," Dobson added. The following is a list of former stations and their CPR designation numbers: • Smiths Falls (0999/2666) • Welsh Station (3614) • Franktown (3616/2831) • Beckwith (3618)
• Carleton Place (3620/2835) • Almonte (3623/2837) • Snedden Station (3625/2338) • Pakenham (3627/2839) • Waba Station (3629) • Arnprior (3631/2831) • Braeside (3633/2843) • Sandpoint . Castleford Station (3637/ 2848) • Russell (3638) • Renfrew (3640/2848) • CotiePayne - Renfrew Junction (1079/3038) • Eganville Junction (3642) • Haley Station (3701) • Rox Station (3703) • Cobden (3704) • Snake River Station (3706) • Meath Station • Government Road Station (3709) • Pembroke (3712/2859) • Stafford Station (3714/2860) • Petawawa (3716/2861) • Military Camp Station (3717) • Thistle Station (3719) • Chalk River (4000) • Wylie (4002) • Bass Lake Station (4004) • Moor Lake Station (4006/ 4005) • Ashport Station (4008)
Submitted/Barrie Crampton Lanark County councillors Bill Dobson and Barrie Crampton are seeking photos of the 45 original train stations along the former CPR route from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, now known as the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail. Pictured are the former station in Pakenham (left) and the former CPR station in Braeside. • Mackey Station (4009) • Stonecliff Station (4011) • Adelard Station (4013/4010) • Bissett Station (4015) • Gratan Station (4016) • Aylen Station (4017/4012) • Deux Rivieres Station (4020) • Hodgson Station (4022/4014) • Klock Station (4024) • Rankin Station (4018) • Mattawa Station (4034/4020) If the concept flies, Dobson said he'd like to see it expanded to include heritage signs or murals
of the former stations outside or at the shelters along the OVRT. He also hopes partner owners of the OVRT, Renfrew County and the Township of Papineau-Cameron, might consider continuing the project in their communities. "This idea is just getting off the ground in Lanark County right now," he said. Anyone with photos or information on any of these stations, should contact Bill Dobson at lanarkbill@gmail.com.

MONTAGUE CANNABIS FACILITY AT RISK Continued from page 4
they spend more time to investigate the rules and how they want to control it in the long-term. When it comes to accommodating a property where there's already been an investment made, such as the Brun Del Res' facility, Grenke said there are a couple of options council can look at as they discuss the proposed zoning. "They may be able to make an argument for legal non-conforming status if council does approve the policy as presented," he said. "There's a bit of a legal argument there, we'd need to investigate that further." Grenke said it's worth considering what the right setbacks in industrial zones should be where there's already an expectation of certain impacts. Grenke has pointed out that there are concerns when it comes to cannabis cultivation, such as odour. He noted that the policy presented before council at the public meeting is not final. "There's all sorts of different options here," he said. "At the end of the day, we want to get this right." The township is currently engaging with the public and is receiving feedback on the proposing zoning in what they call a "collaborative process" and has stated that they recognize the potential economic benefits of allowing this form of development while seeking to ensure it's planned and regulated to minimize any impacts on nearby sensitive uses. They are currently reviewing and accepting feedback on the proposed zoning amendments. Council may choose to approve the zoning policies as approved or with modifications. They may also choose to defer them for further review or decide to leave the zoning unchanged.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
As municipalities across the country are grappling with the new realities and businesses that are springing up in the era of cannabis legalization, the Record News explores how proposed zoning in Montague could impact one producer setting up shop in the township.

door growing facility with two acres of fenced-in land intended for outdoor cultivation. The company has its letter of readiness from the federal government and is currently preparing additional requirements before receiving their final approval to grow. Though, if the proposed zoning stands the business would not go ahead, said Giancarlo Brun Del Re, an owner of Dr. Bud who decided jump into the cannabis industry with his parents. After seeing the benefits of medicinal cannabis in his medical practice, Renato Brun Del Re, Giancarlo's father, became a cannabis convert and decided to put his money where his mouth is. "My wife and my son and myself decided to throw everything in that we had and see what would happen with a medical production facility," he said. Now, that facility, which hopes to put up and running in three to four months, could be in jeopardy. "The setbacks that have been proposed would effectively not allow for manufacturing or cultivation of marijuana on this facility given the relative distance of the houses in the area," said Andrew Howard, the lawyer representing the Brun Del Re family. Howard said before the family purchased the property they wanted to do their due diligence and make sure that the facility would be appropriate for the cultivation and production of cannabis. So, they
approached the township. Howard said at that time the township didn't have any bylaws that would prohibit them from having a cannabis facility at the property and would be supportive of such a use. He said that the indication from the township then was that at some point they would have to apply for a site plan approval - but apart from that everything was good to proceed. Howard has asked that council take another look at the setbacks to define where the setbacks are measured from. He said right now the setbacks are vague. Howard asked that if council is going to take into effect the recommendations presented, they grandfather in the Brun Del Re facility and allow cannabis production at the location they have already invested in. Karl Grenke, the township's planner, acknowledged that the township had had some conversations with the Brun Del Res over the last number of years. Grenke said the reason why this proposed zoning that been brought forward now is because of recent changes in the federal regulations, which includes allowing outdoor growing. "We all recognize that it (cannabis cultivation) provides an opportunity for economic development and revitalization of agricultural lands," he said. "We're a rural municipality, we certainly want to encourage farming; it's part of the township's heritage." Grenke said the township's goal is to properly balance cultivation with appropriate separation from residential and other sensitive uses. He said some municipalities are looking at creating special setbacks, while others are looking at prohibiting cannabis production until

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland A vigil was held at Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls on April 7 for community members to pray for the safe return of Christine Cutler, a local woman who was reported missing on March 15. After news surfaced that she had been found safe on April 2nd, those present at the vigil prayed in thankfulness for her safety.
VIGIL VOICES PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING FOR SIGHTING OF LOCAL MISSING WOMAN PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com
The group then prayed for Cutler's whole health and safety, and for all who continually live with fear and uncertainty. Cutler, 56, was reported missing by the Smiths Falls Police Service (SFPS) on March 15. On April 2 they reported that she was confirmed to have been sighted in Kingston. The Smiths Falls Police Service is still looking to locate Cutler and check on her well-being. They continue to actively investigate her case and urge anyone with further information regarding her whereabouts to contact police. Cutler is described as being 5-foot-5 and 225 pounds with collar-length brown and grey hair and a round face. She walks with the assistance of a cane and wears glasses. She is known to frequent the Byward Market and Elgin Street areas in Ottawa.

A vigil was held on April 7 to voice prayers of thanksgiving for the sighting of Chris Cutler, a local woman who went missing in March. Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls originally planned the vigil to pray for Cutler's safe return home. "Last week, we learned that Chris Cutler was found," Reverend Christopher Ryan said to the group of attendees. "She was positively identified in Kingston, and so, our purpose today turns from prayers of concern for Chris Cutler specifically, to prayers of thanksgiving." Ryan said many people were afraid when Cutler couldn't be found, as horrible things could have happened. "Our imaginations ran into places that were not
impossible, or unreasonable," he said. "And so, while we pray a prayer of thanksgiving for Chris Cutler, there are many others in our community and in our world for whom the dangers that we feared for Chris remain very real." Westminister Presbyterian Church Rev. Jill Turnbull participated in the vigil and read the Parable of the Good Samaritan, highlighting the importance of putting aside differences to be a good neighbour and show compassion and mercy to those in need. "This story is about vulnerable people," said Ryan. "Where they find safety is wherever a community cares. We gather and pray that our community - our community that is our churches and our community that is Smiths Falls can be that place where all travellers on the road can be saved."

Please help us help Toby the beagle. Toby is approximately seven to eight years old. This poor guy was found wandering the streets of Drummond/ North Elmsley Township and was brought to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) by a member of the public because the township does not pick up strays and was not willing to help this little guy. He is scrawny but that can be easily fixed. He is very loving, has a huge heart and deserves to live out the rest of his life happy and healthy.

SMITHS FALLS SWIMMER, BAILEY ANDISON QUALIFIES FOR TEAM CANADA AND WILL COMPETE AT PANAM GAMES IN PERU Bailey Andison is going to Peru for the PanAm Games as part of the swim team for Canada July 26 to Aug. 11. At the end of the fiveday Canadian swim trials in Toronto, it was announced that Andison, 21, of Smiths Falls, would be a member of the swim team representing Canada at the Pan-Am games in Lima, Peru this summer. To make a satisfying moment even better, it was also announced that her former Perth Stingray swim colleague and good
friend, Olivia Ellard, had been chosen to represent Canada at the World University Games in Naples, Italy. It was a proud moment for both of the girls, and no doubt for the local Perth Swim Club. Andison had returned to Canada from the U.S. where she had just concluded swimming in her fourth consecutive year as a finalist in the NCAA Collegiate Championships - to compete in the Canadian trials. On Thursday, her first
event was the 400 individual medley (IM), in which she recorded a satisfying fifth place finish in the final of what is generally regarded as the hardest race on the swimming calendar. In the 50 metre breaststroke, Saturday, Andison won her heat in the preliminaries, where her time put her in second place overall for the final that same night. However, she decided to scratch from the final as she was due to swim in Sunday's 200 IM and wanted to go into that race as fresh as she could. Sunday morning, Andison won her heat in the 200 IM and her time of 2:13:57 was a personal best and third of the trials, second overall. In the final it was Andison coming home in third place, for her first "open age" national medal, with a time that ranked her in the top 10 in the world as of that date. Submitted by Laurie Saywell

OTTAWA 67'S SUCCESS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES ABOUT THE FIRST JUNIOR TEAM HE EVER FOLLOWED JEFF MAGUIRE Column
It is junior hockey playoff time in Canada a period which, besides acting as an introduction to a long awaited spring, is also the most entertaining period for fans of the sport at this level. I've been following junior hockey for more than 50 years and writing about it for nearly as long. To me it's the most exciting version of Canada's national winter sport. Junior hockey players are all hoping to
forge a future in the game. Many are spurred on by the possibility of winning a scholarship to a major college or university (south of the border in most cases) while others have their sights set on a professional hockey career. I don't need to tell you that the NHL Ottawa Senators have not enjoyed a positive 2018-2019 campaign. Their on-ice and off-ice problems are daily fodder for the media. However hockey fans in the national capital region have had a lifeline thrown their way. Ottawa 67's are ranked among the top four Major Junior hockey teams
on the continent. They rang up a club record 106 points and finished atop the overall standings in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) this season. The talent-laden team swept Hamilton Bulldogs in their opening playoff series. Last weekend 67's began a second round series, hosting Sudbury Wolves at The Arena at TD Place (formerly the Ottawa Civic Centre). Ottawa are among the favourites to advance to this year's Memorial Cup tournament in Halifax next month. I've been hoping to get to a 67's game this season and may do so yet. However, with the Jr. A playoffs heading down to the wire I am heavily invested in supporting our hometown Carleton
Place Canadians, perennial champions and finalists in the Central Canada Hockey League. This season with Sens' fortunes sagging and 67's nearly unbeatable attendance at Major Junior games in the city has shot up. Recent contests have seen crowds in the 6,000 range which is very good for junior hockey. It will be interesting to watch as these 67's pursue their main goal, a third Memorial Cup for Ottawa. The city's first national junior title came in 1984 and the second came in 1999 when 67's hosted the national tournament. As I ponder their recent success my mind goes back to the 67's inaugural campaign during Canada's Cen-
tennial year, hence the team's nickname. The first Major Junior game I ever saw pitted Ottawa against the Peterborough Petes during that long ago campaign. If memory serves the final was 9-2 for the Petes. It was a blowout anyway! The freshman 67's won just six of 54 games, along with three ties. But that first team included outstanding players such as forward Pierre Jarry, defenceman Jean Potvin (the older brother of future NHL Hall of Famer and 67's alumnus Denis Potvin) and goalie Gary Doyle from Smiths Falls. Jarry scored an impressive 36 goals in Ottawa's inaugural campaign. Doyle meanwhile saw an awful lot of rubber between the pipes
for 67's during that first season. Ottawa made the playoffs in their second campaign and they have built an impressive 52-year history. I'm an Ottawa native and during my teens in particular I was a 67's diehard. I attended as many games as I could every season and have many fond memories of those days at the old Civic Centre. Obviously I hope the current 67's make it to the sixth Memorial Cup tournament in team history and that ultimately they're able to hoist junior hockey's biggest prize.

Died peacefully at home after a 13-year journey with several different cancers. With family at her side and friends in her thoughts, she chose to leave this planet on Thursday April 4, 2019. Peggy leaves behind: Jeremy, her husband of almost 46 years, her son Andrew, his wife Shealah and their son Evan, her daughter Kate and her husband Murray Chidley, her sister Janet George, her brother George MacMillan, and his wife Siobhan Muldowney. Peggy is also survived by nieces and nephews who always appreciated her kindness, epitomized by gracious acts such as baking lemon meringue pie instead of ordinary banana birthday cake. Peggy was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec on November 25, 1950, where she lived until moving to the Quebec Labrador coast with Jeremy to teach and adventure in the early 1970s. After a few years they returned to the Eastern Townships of Quebec where she taught, farmed, gardened, and started a family. She was a leading light in the battle to keep local English libraries vibrant through the Parti Quebecois/referendum years of the late 70s and 80s. In the late 80s the family relocated to Brighton, Ontario and eventually settled in the Perth area, which became their long-term home. Peggy continued to teach and volunteer in the community for many years. Her family and friends can attest to her culinary talents (whether over campfire, wood stove, or gas range), her welcoming home, and her ability to win an argument (usually all in good fun or as mental exercise). Peggy referred to herself as a secular humanist, and her wit and intelligence was honed by an insatiable appetite for reading works of sci-fi, literature, non-fiction, poetry, and history. Her love of gardening and homesteading led to a market gardening business as well as volunteer work as a Certified Master Gardener. She had an enduring appreciation for nature and animals, and took great pleasure and solace in spending time near water; moonlit canoe paddles, early morning swims in calm lakes, or just sitting to watch the water and ‘come into the peace of the wild things’ (as Wendell Berry wrote). She was, in fact, a renaissance woman. The family wishes to thank all the people at the Perth hospital who were involved in Peggy’s care, including Doctors Last, Riehl, Del Grande, and Kuchinad, as well as Leslie Del Grande. Many thanks to the committed staff involved with MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) - a caring and sympathetic group providing medical expertise and comfort. Great thanks also goes to the staff and volunteers at the Perth Chemotherapy Clinic. Their care and kindness was beyond reproach. Family and friends were invited to a gathering to honour Peggy’s life held on Saturday April 6th, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M. in the Blair & Son Family Centre, 15 Gore St. West, Perth. At Peggy’s request, in lieu of flowers any donations in her memory should be directed to the Great War Memorial Foundation for Palliative Care.

Management is looking for motivated players to come out and see what the Smiths Falls junior hockey club is all about. "The Settlers organization would like you to come experience the Settlers hockey environment that you would receive during your stay with us," noted GM Steve Besharah. "You would be under no obligations to sign, but rather come and experience a junior weekend." The cost for the two-day weekend, which runs April 20 and 21, is $150 and includes two hours of practice ice time, two hours of fitness evaluations, two hours of land training and an inter-squad game. "To add as much value as possible to your Settlers weekend experience, we are offering the Settlers dorms at a rate of $50 per night," said Besharah. "This includes dinner the first day, breakfast the second day, shared bedroom (single-bed sheets, blankets and pillow to be supplied by the players), showers with private stalls, separate washrooms." A fully operational kitchen is open to players and parents, who
are responsible for personal use. You may stay more nights if you wish, but booking must be done in advance. Space is limited. "During and following the camp, we would like to meet with all players individually to discuss your opportunities with the Settlers organization," Besharah said.
TO BE A SETTLER The Settlers organization offers players fully insured and sanctioned hockey by one of the oldest governing bodies in hockey, the AAU/UHU (Amateur Athletic Union/ United Hockey Union). There is experienced headcoaching and ownership at the junior level. Player development is by Power Edge Pro, which has had experience with NHL players and teams and will help develop potential players. There is also a certified conditioning trainer. During camp, there will be a scout and recruiter for NCAA/ ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association), McKendree University.

"The Settlers play in a firstclass facility - Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre," noted the GM, which has a seating capacity of 1,500 people. There is also a practice facility of the Smiths
Falls Youth Arena, which is part of the arena. Also included for players is a gym membership at Good Vibrations. There are three practices a week, one specifically designed for skating and skillset development. There is a 44-game schedule, with two league showcase events for college exposure. A Western States Hockey League all-star shootout showcase will be held in Las Vegas, for selected Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League all-star players. Besharah said they have sent 11 players over the past two years. "Every game we have stats on shots taken from what location and who, save percentage, plus/ minus, faceoff percentage, blocked shots, missed shots, ice time, etc., (great recruiting tool)," he said. "I look forward to seeing you at the Settlers camp out on the ice," Besharah said, "and off the ice, showcasing your talents that you have worked so hard to develop over the past years."

SMITHS FALLS DAIRY QUEEN STAFF DEMONSTRATE LOGAN BOULET EFFECT ON GREEN SHIRT DAY PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Nationwide, April 6 was recognized as Green Shirt Day in memory of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash which took the lives of 16 hockey players in Saskatchewan one year ago. One of the players who died in the crash, Logan Boulet, saved the
lives of six people as a result of his decision to be an organ donor. His father, Gavin Paulsen is the owner/operator of a Dairy Queen in Saskatchewan. Paulsen reached out to the DQ owners across Canada and locally, Dorie Major, who owns the DQ on Lombard Street, jumped into the awareness campaign. She and staff donned their green shirts to raise awareness of the great need for more registered organ donors in Canada. "We were honoured to take part in it," Major said. "And if it becomes an annual event, we'd be more than happy to take part again. We were proud to wear our green shirts - there were over 4,000 of them sent out to Dairy Queens across Canada - and promote organ donation." After the Boulet family announced that Logan's organ donations had saved six lives, over 100,000 people signed their organ

"Logan had only signed his donor card a few weeks before the bus crash," Major said. Nearly 200 people die every year in Canada waiting for an organ transplant, and there are cur-

SELDOM USED, THE STRAP STILL STOOD TALL IN CLASSROOM EMERSON AND CECIL WERE WELL ACQUAINTED, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
It hung on the side of Miss Crosby's desk where only the rows in the upper grades could see it. But those of us in Primer Book certainly knew it was there. Hanging from a cup hook, black as ink, and as long as a yard stick. It was the dreaded strap! Those uppity pupils from the school in Renfrew called it the cat of nine tails, but to us it was simply "the strap." It ranked right up there in respect like a stern look from Miss Crosby, or a slap on her desk with her ruler. The strap was a con-
Right
the Northcote School. For one thing, both boys stood a good six-feet tall, and Miss Crosby came to about the middle of their chests. So it was quite a rigmarole when she pointed to one of them to come to the front of the room, and hold out a hand. Since the hand was about level with her head, she had to take the little wood bench she used to wipe off the top of the blackboards and stand on it. One time, she almost lost her balance, and Cecil grabbed her arms just before she fell backwards, strap and all. Of course, she didn't have the heart to discipline him after that! By the time Miss Crosby got everything organized to administer the slap with the strap, the urgency would have long since passed, the rest of us
stant reminder that we better toe the line, or we would pay dearly. Never once, was I ever in need of the strap. I was too much in awe of the teacher, and tried to be on my very best behaviour at all times. Aunt Lilly once called me Miss Goody Two-Shoes, the meaning of which escaped me entirely. My brothers Emerson and Cecil, however, were well acquainted with the strap, although it had little or no effect on their behaviour. In fact, when they had provoked Miss Crosby to the point where she had to resort to using it on their outstretched hand, it almost always brought snickers from everyone at

would be fighting to keep from laughing out loud, and she would order the offender back to his seat. By then her face would be beet red. I thought the strap was only meant for the boys at the Northcote School. Never once did I ever see Miss Crosby use it on any of us girls. Sadly, we weren't saved from sitting on the stool in the corner of the room at the front wearing the cone-shaped dunce cap, however. That wasn't because we were misbehaving. It was because we hadn't done our homework. Miss Crosby didn't believe in sending us to the corner if we didn't understand the lesson or made a mistake. It was simply used as a lesson in misbehaving. Only once did Cecil have
to go to the corner, and by the time he scrunched down on the little stool, his knees were up to his ears, and he was sent back to his desk with orders to write out some short sentence 50 times, which was really no punishment at all. It was obvious the chair and dunce cap weren't going to work with Cecil. The only other punishment handed out by Miss Crosby for misbehaving was not being allowed to go outside at recess. It seemed to me bad Marguirite spent more time in the school at recess than she did outside. She was a thorn in everyone's side, and we were all delighted when she was made to stay indoors. The strap, to me, was the most feared method of discipline at the Northcote School. Seldom used,
and only when Miss Crosby had been provoked beyond reason, it reminded me of one of the big black water snakes we sometimes saw in the Bonnechere River. And if you were unfortunate enough to be disciplined at school, there was a very good chance you paid dearly for the deed by a parent when you got home as well!

TRINITY CHURCH IS AFFIRMING MINISTRY Continued from page 6
specific language to say that they welcomed the LGBTQ+ community specifically. For Heather Quinn, chair of spiritual leadership and secretary of outreach and social justice at Trinity, becoming an affirming ministry has deep meaning. Her bother Doug was gay and did not receive the type of acceptance her church has worked toward providing. Quinn, whose own father had been a minister at Trinity, said her brother realized he was gay in his teens. When Doug had gone away, he talked to a minister about his sexuality but was told he'd never be accepted. As a result, he turned to drugs. Quinn spoke to the Trinity congregation about her brother to impress upon them the importance of becoming an affirming ministry. Through the affirm process, Quinn felt like Doug was with her. "I love being at Trinity, no matter the gender identity or anything else, sexual preference, or social status, you would be accepted," she said. "That's what I was trying to get across to everybody, that this is important." Quinn's brother passed away in 2004 around the age of 40. Her family believes his death was health-related. "It was hard, but there's a lot of lessons in it that we really took away from it," she said. Through that experience, Quinn's family took away lessons that acceptance is important. Something to which Trinity is no stranger. For the last five or six years, the church has hosted a Rainbow Sabbath - a gathering meant to provide an uncomplicated and safe space for LGBTQ+ folk and friends. The church has also participated in Pride festivities in Perth and, most recently, they took part in Smiths Falls' inaugural pride held last year - walking in the parade and serving up 300 meals. "We were honoured to have been asked to participate in last year's Smiths Falls Pride," said Ryan. "We received the invitation as grace-filled and we were grateful to have been included. It was a wonderful celebration." This month, Trinity is holding a celebration to highlight their decision to become an affirming congregation on Sunday, April 28 at 10:30 a.m. Ryan says that the celebration isn't a self-congratulatory event but rather serves as a demonstration and proclamation of what the world, including religious communities, should and can be.
