Smiths Falls Peewee B Bears named Good Deeds Cup finalists BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
Well, they’ve done it. The Smiths Falls Peewee B Bears have been named Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup finalists. The cup is a competition meant to celebrate peewee players’ contributions to their community off the ice. The Bears have now increased their total contribution to the Salvation Army Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps – the team’s charity of choice – to $5,000. The team is now in the running to win $15,000 for the local Salvation Army, a winner’s ceremony in Smiths Falls, a feature on broadcast television, and a summer skate with Chevrolet Hockey Ambassadors. The Bears competed against nine other semi-finalists in a video-viewing contest that determined the three finalists. The video submitted by the Bears highlighted their good deeds around town, which included collecting 1,000 pounds of food for the Salvation Army’s Christmas Hampers, serving 150 people at the Salvation Army Christmas Luncheon, volunteering 10 hours at five locations for the Salvation Army’s Kettle Campaign, collecting teddy bears at the Teddy Bear Toss for the Salvation Army’s Build a Mountain of Toys Campaign, and stuffing 3,000 envelopes for the Salvation Army’s mailer campaign.

Smiths Falls Peewee B Bears Coach Keith Rhoden congratulates his team after hearing that they’d made it to the finals in their drive for the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup on Thursday, Feb. 1. On Feb. 1, the Bears’ YouTube video had 27,409 views. The road to the finals wasn’t easy. Before the Smiths Falls peewee players made the semi-finals last month, they had to compete against 136 others videos submitted by over 2,600 peewee players across the country to make the top 10. Now as finalists, a judging panel of
Chevrolet, Hockey Canada and the Chevrolet Hockey Ambassadors will all be weighing in to determine this year’s Good Deeds Cup Champions. The Bears are completing against the Quinte Red Devils and The Pas Huskies for the cup. The official champions’ announcement will be made on Feb. 26, during TSN’s national coverage of the NHL
trade deadline. “It’s exciting for the kids,” said Salvation Army Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corp Major, Gary Reilly. Reilly said the Salvation Army wants to put the money raised for them by the Bears through the Good Deeds Cup towards something where kids would be helping kids.

Humour in Neil Simon’s ‘Rumours’ can’t be beat at Station Theatre The theatre season in Smiths Falls starts with a full-on belly laugh. Neil Simon’s Rumors is the first play of 2018. Get set for guffaws, giggles and howls of hilarity even though the scene behind the scenes is a darker one. Chris and Ken have arrived for a 10th anniversary celebration with their friends, Charley and Myra. Charley is the deputy mayor of New York. Three other couples will join them for a cultured and grand evening, ladies dressed to the nines and men in tuxedoes. Chris and Ken are startled on their way into the apartment to hear a gunshot; Charley has tried to kill himself. The coverups, the confusion, the witty dialogue all intended to keep the facts away from each other and certainly to keep it out of the news, make for a great evening of entertainment. Some familiar actors are back. Director Nancy Keech selected a cast with chemistry. “Jamie Schoular and Robert Del Grande are the Abbott and Costello of

Cookie, centre, in red (Sheila Jasiak), spends a lot of time crawling in Neil Simon’s ‘Rumors’, starting at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls on Feb. 23. At hand to help are, from left: Chris (Heddy Sorour), Glenn (Noel White), Lenny (Robert Del Grande) and Ernie (Garry Welsh). turns to vodka for want of a cigarette the Station Theatre, and the rest of the Lenny. Heddy Sorour (last seen in Who Du- and is not above smoking the odd Q-tip.” cast fits in perfectly to their comic pairnit?) plays Chris, Ken’s wife. Chris, noted Sheila Jasiak is back as Cookie wearing,” she said. Schoular plays Ken and Del Grande, Sorour, is “a neurotic, bimbo lawyer who ing her “grandmother’s dress from Rus-
sia,” and Ursula Rice-Leech, a 17-yearold Smiths Falls District Collegiate student plays Officer Pudney, a strong but silent policewoman. Rob Glas (Officer Welch) was on stage last in No Sex Please … We’re British. You’ve probably seen Maria Fournier at the Heritage House Museum; she plays Cassie. Keech said Fournier acted for her in high school and has come back to Smiths Falls from away. Noel White plays her husband, Glenn. And though he’s fairly new to acting, he’s been involved with the Station Theatre designing and building sets for three or four years. Julie Heney, new to the Station Theatre, but not to acting, plays Claire; while Garry Welsh plays her husband, Ernie. Keech noted, “the play is a hilarious romp, a farce with no purpose except to make you laugh — a perfect remedy for the winter blues. Pairing this cast — some new-to-us faces and some old favourites — with Neil Simon’s brilliant words, you can’t go wrong.” The play runs Feb. 23 to March 4.

Lanark County economic development leadership team ready to implement action plans The leadership team for the Lanark County economic development strategic planning process is ready to roll up its sleeves with action plans. On Jan. 19, 30 leadership team members held a final wrap-up meeting to celebrate the completion of the county-wide Economic Development Strategic Plan, which was the result of a process that began in May 2017 and involved input from entrepreneurs, business leaders, local politicians, municipal staff, residents, students and service organizations throughout Lanark County, Smiths Falls and north Leeds. The process was led by Valley Heartland, Lanark County and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), and was driven by the leadership team and its four working groups, with representatives from every municipality in Lanark County. “The leadership team and working groups dug deep into their research and analysis,” explained Stacie Lloyd, Regional Economic Development Officer for Valley Heartland. “They incorporated stats with stakeholder input from 338 questionnaires as they identified key growth sectors, future opportunities for workforce development and the positive impact of small businesses and entrepreneurs to our local economy.” The plan provides Lanark County with a roadmap for future economic
development programs and services for 2018 to 2020. The planning process provided the team with a concrete list of evidence-based action plans, and the leadership team is ready to roll up its sleeves and make things happen. The plan indicates Lanark County has a well-diversified local economy, with opportunities across a range of sectors including agri-food/agri-business, construction and trades, manufacturing, arts, entertainment and tourism, healthcare, and education. “The group looked at competitive positioning in these areas to accomplish community economic development goals and develop action plans,” Lloyd added. The county-wide economic development strategy was approved by Lanark County council at its Dec. 6, 2017 meeting, along with a 2018 budget commitment of $40,000 to implement action plans in the strategy. A top priority action plan under the theme of “support entrepreneurs and business owners” is to implement a formal Business Retention and Expansion (BR&E) Program, a community-based economic development program that focuses on supporting existing local businesses by systematically gathering information on their needs so that obstacles can be addressed and businesses can flourish. “The benefits of BR&E are proven,” Lloyd said. “One example is in
Wellington County, where a regional BR&E program was completed in 2014 and 270 businesses were interviewed. According to Mandy Jones, Economic Development Officer with Wellington County, and Bruce Moore, team lead for the Regional Economic Development Branch of OMAFRA, during the 18-month BR&E program follow-up, the county learned that 22 businesses had expanded and eight more had plans to expand in the near future. Job creation and additional product lines for some businesses were added benefits for that county.” At the wrap-up meeting, leadership team members signed-up themselves or noted additional partners and potential collaborators, such as business leaders and business support organizations, to help make the plans come to life. Some actions plans are already underway, and many are interconnected and will be long-term projects. In the coming weeks, Valley Heartland will reach out to all those potential partners indicated by the leadership team. Those interested in being part of a team to implement the county-wide economic development action plans are encouraged to contact Lloyd by email at EcDev@valleycfdc.com or by calling 613-283-7002, ext. 106. The Lanark County Economic Development Strategic Plan will be posted on the county and Valley Heartland websites shortly. For now, a condensed
list of the action plans can be found at http://valleycfdc.com/strategicplanning/ or contact Lloyd for information. “We are well-positioned for making things happen in economic development across the county,” said Lanark County Warden John Fenik. “This is thanks to the community engagement by businesses and residents, municipal
involvement and the county’s focus on economic drivers.” “It has been such a pleasure to work with the leadership team, the working groups and the stakeholders who provided input,” Lloyd added. “I look forward to working with them again to implement the plans over the next three years.” Submitted by the County of Lanark

Ontario Festival of Small Halls seeking new venue submissions The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is looking to share the love – small hall love, that is. The festival, which brings internationally-renowned musicians to cherished, rural community spaces each fall, is currently accepting submissions from new halls to participate in this year’s event. Running from Sept. 13 to 30, the festival is now in its fifth year of igniting local stages across eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley. “We’re excited to be reaching out to local communities, welcoming submissions for new halls with history and heart,” said Kelly Symes, general manager of The Ontario Festival of Small Halls. The festival is seeking new venues which have more than a 100-person seating capacity, are wheelchair accessible, and which have an enthusiastic community group supporting the hall. “The group or committee must be willing to work with the Ontario Festival of Small Halls to host high-quality events and provide concert goers with a positive rural Ontario experience,” said Symes, adding that involvement could include hosting a festival show, community meal or other event as part of the festival. Festival organizers will deliver programming, marketing, artist transportation, stage management,
and the best in sound equipment and technical expertise. Communities are asked to provide a unique local building and an eager team of volunteers to help with ticket sales, local marketing and other duties on show day. In addition to the musical event, some communities have also used this opportunity to showcase their towns to visitors. Whether it’s a community dinner held in a neighbouring hall before the concert, a farmers’ market or a walking tour, festival attendees are easily enticed to stroll down main streets and pop into local businesses to enjoy the distinctive flavour of the town on the day of the concert. Communities interested in participating are asked to complete the submission form found at www. ontariosmallhalls.com. The submission deadline is Feb. 15.

By the mid-twentieth century, many of the owners of textile mills in the Mississippi Valley could already see the writing on the wall. Cheaper offshore labour and tighter environmental regulations had already closed many mills. Those remaining were operating on tighter margins and producing the newer fabrics that were in demand. Portrait of a Mill Worker, a new exhibition at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, incorporates artifacts, biographies, and recordings to explore the lives of the workers at this critical time in the industry’s history. The work was hard, and wages were on the meagre side. Still, the dozens workers that appear in the exhibit were enormously proud of what they produced and enjoyed their lives in a mill town in what was arguably a simpler time. The following workers’ portraits are showcased in the exhibit: Terry Roberts, Evelyn Pitcher, Dave Roberts, Gary McDaniel, Jean Watt More, Murray Guthrie, Kevin Finner, Pat McAuliffe, Earl Jones, Rob Newton, Eddie McCabe, Wentworth Marshall, Laura Ready, Bill Jamieson, Eleanor Wright, Don Johnson, Irene Robertson Thompson, Carl Roberts

What are the five signs of stroke?
Heart attack warning signs Thousands of Canadians die from heart attacks every year because they don’t receive medical treatment quickly enough. Learn to recognize the signs of a heart attack so you can react quickly to save a life It is important to understand that warning signs can vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe. Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom of a heart attack in both men and women, some people will not experience chest pain at all, while others will experience only mild chest pain or discomfort. Others may experience one symptom, while some experience a combination.
Stroke can be treated. That’s why it is so important to recognize and respond to the warning signs.
Weakness
Sudden loss of strength or sudden numbness in the face, arm or leg, even if temporary.
Chest discomfort
Trouble speaking
uncomfortable chest pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain, burning or heaviness
Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding or sudden confusion, even if temporary.
Vision problems
Sudden trouble with vision, even if temporary.
Headache
Discomfort in other
Sudden severe and unusual headache.
areas of the upper body neck, jaw, shoulder, arms, back
Dizziness
Sudden loss of balance, especially with any of the above signs. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately. If a person is diagnosed with a stroke caused by a blood clot, doctors can administer a clot-busting drug available only at a hospital, and only within a few crucial hours after symptoms begin.* That’s why it is very important to be able to recognize the 5 warning signs of stroke and immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number.
Shortness of breath Sweating Nausea Light-headedness
Keep a list of emergency numbers near the phone at all times. Stop all activity and sit or lie down, in whatever position is most comfortable. If you take nitroglycerin, take your normal dosage. If you are experiencing chest pain, chew and swallow one adult 325 mg tablet or two 80 mg tablets of ASA (acetylsalicylic acid, commonly referred to as Aspirin®). Pain medicines such as acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (commonly known as Advil®) do not work the same way as ASA (Aspirin®) and therefore will not help in the emergency situation described above. Rest comfortably and wait for an ambulance with emergency medical personnel to arrive.

Musician Ariana Gillis helps support Lanark Community Programs Feb. 18 The Listening Room Series presents the wonderful Ariana Gillis on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. at The Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). This is a fundraiser for Lanark Community Programs’ Family Relief Program. These telling quotes from music elite, lend credence to the quality
of this young woman’s musical gifts. “I’m staggered by how good she is. There’s not much that impresses me these days but after hearing her available tracks, I can honestly say she’s the single most exciting artist winner, Elton John’s lyricist. I’ve heard in a long time.” “I have been a fan of Ariana – Bernie Taupin, Grammy Gillis since discovering her music on satellite radio in 2009…something rare and unseen – genuine, un-calculated, un-co-opted, art from a soulful gem.” – Buddy Miller, Grammy winner, guitarist for Emmylou Harris. With kudos like this, it’s easy to see why Gillis’ audiences rave
It’s dangerous backstage at ‘Panto Can Be Murder’ Everybody loves a backstage comedy, getting to laugh at the quirks and silliness that happen backstage at any performance. But, did you know it can be downright dangerous, too? Feb. 16 will see the premiere of what has to be the funniest murder-mystery of the winter. Panto Can Be Murder is the “flipside” of BarnDoor Productions’ Cinderella panto of last December, as the group turn the set around and let the audience see what was happening behind the scenes during the show. Cinderella itself became one of BarnDoor Productions’ biggest sellers in a decade and drew high praise from playgoers: “Without hesitation, the best panto I’ve ever seen,” “I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much in my life,” and “Laugh out loud antics and word play. High energy panto in its most outrageous tradition,” were just a few of the comments from happy audience members. Panto Can Be Murder is at least as much fun, when a matinee performance of a children’s show turns deadly, then it turns into a police investigation, which then turns into a farce. To call it laugha-minute would imply there are only about 90 laughs in the show, but there are far, far more than that. The premise of Panto Can Be Murder is unique: while the audience watch the murder-mystery unfold backstage, the performers play out the entire Cinderella panto on the stage. The trick is that the set has been turned around, so that backstage becomes onstage and onstage becomes backstage (and left becomes right and up becomes down). The interaction between the two halves of the play provide much
of the fun, as actors playing characters who are playing parts in the panto rush about, changing costumes, grabbing props, making entrances and exits – while bodies lie about the stage and the police arrive to investigate. And, for the sake of the show, it’s a very good thing that Detective Inspector Tuff is an old hand at panto – you should see his Twankey. BarnDoor Productions is reminding those who saw Cinderella in December that their specially marked adult ticket stub from that show will get them a reduced ticket price for the February show; just $16 for a load of laughs and a lot of fun. Panto Can Be Murder is the third show in BarnDoor Productions’ 23rd season, a season in which every production is either a world or a Canadian premiere, quite a feat for “the best little theatre that everybody meant to come to.” Don’t simply “mean” to see Panto Can Be Murder. Get out and have a load of laughs.

A serious concussion in 2015 was thought to be the end of her musical career but she has battled back and, after taking the necessary time and treatment, is back in the studio, making new magic. We will be hearing the results of those sessions. She “wowed” them at the Westport Music Festival a few years ago, where I saw her for the second time, the first being at Folk Music Ontario.

COMMENTARY
First, do no harm
T
here’s a cultural deification of cannabis happening in Canada. The weed is touted as the cure for just about everything and suggestions there may be any downsides to its use are silenced by choruses singing its praises. A Metroland staffer, already taking prescription medication for anxiety and a sleep disorder, had her curiosity piqued by rampant claims that cannabis is a miraculous panacea for whatever ails you. She asked her doctor about switching from big pharma to medical marijuana. But the doctor refused, saying she had taken an oath to “do no harm.” While the physician was aware of all the anecdotal evidence that cannabis is the answer to myriad health problems, she just hadn’t seen the scientific proof. And she had concerns about unknown health risks. Her advice? Wait for the science to come in. Only then would the doctor feel comfortable prescribing cannabis as medicine. And maybe that’s good advice for recreational use as well. Because the research hasn’t been done. It’s too difficult to do quality research on something that is illegal. In Canada, that barrier disappears in July. Now the science can be done and we want to see research
funded from the profits our government will make through the CCBO. Just last week the feds were patting themselves on the back announcing 14 projects to get $100,000 each in Canadian Institute of Health Research funding to look into how cannabis use will affect different populations and how use changes post-legalization. Bill Blair, federal point man for cannabis legislation, made the announcement at the Centre for Addiction and Mental health, which is appropriate. The government admits the research doesn’t exist and Blair said they’re committed to strengthening the evidence base. They plan to pony up $1.4-million, which in the world of research is little more than chump change. Much more will be needed for the kind of broad studies that will now be possible, into the good, the bad and the potential ugly. We want to see data. Track cannabis use after legalization: the health ramifications, as well as the social costs and benefits. Drug use and misuse in all forms, whether it’s too many smart cocktails, mind-numbing prescription opiate addiction or cannabis smoking, vaping or snacking, is a health issue. One that needs adequate funding to address.
Skating at the school rink was saved for Saturday nights By the time winter had settled in, and the holidays and the Christmas concerts were over, everything quieted down in Northcote. Now we could spend more time at the rink behind the school. Not on weekdays of course, but Sunday’s after church, and every Saturday night, just about everyone who owned a pair of skates could be found behind the Northcote School. I was never sure how the rink came about. My brother Emerson said it was flooded by buckets and barrels. There certainly was no running water anywhere near. The only skates I owned were hateful bob skates, dull as dishwater, rusty, and too big to
be fastened tightly to my galoshes. That is until my teacher Miss Crosby brought me a pair she had bought out of her meagre salary. They weren’t new, obviously once belonging to a boy, but to me they opened up a whole new world at the school rink, even though Cecil, the school cutup, said I was the worst skater he ever saw. There were strict rules too. No fighting, the youngest of us got to use the rink first, and then we had to get off so that the older boys could play hockey. There was no goal net, just two blocks of wood at each end of the ice, but those Northcote boys played as if they were headed for the National League. Lanterns were hung on the
Mary Cook’s Memories board fence, but the best light came when there was a full moon. Once the hockey began, we younger ones would be taken to the United Church steps away from the school, and treated to hot chocolate and cookies, which to me was the best part of the whole evening. Skating was an ordeal. I fell more than I skated, I always came home with bruised knees, and I couldn’t take my eyes off bad Marguirite who had the

Minimum wage increase will not bring relief: Reader DEAR EDITOR:
I agree with Jeff Maguire’s column, Liberals failed to consider impact of wage hike that appeared in the Jan. 25 issue of this newspaper, that the minimum wage hike is Wynne’s attempt to sway voters. I also agree that it ignores small businesses. However, I disagree that a slower phase-in of the increase would solve anything. The proper solution is to scrap the minimum wage. It was originally introduced to try

to correct previous government mangling of the economy, which had increased costs and made it harder for people to make ends meet. It is not the responsibility of businesses to ensure that every job they create pays “a living wage.” Their responsibility is to make a profit. A business cannot pay more for a job than the job is worth. That reality cannot be altered by legislation.

were loaded onto the flat-bottomed sleigh, wrapped up like mummies, and headed for the Northcote School. The sleighs were lined up in front of the school, and the teams covered with horse blankets against the freezing cold. The mothers didn’t hang around the board fence that circled the rink, but headed right for the United Church where they sat and drank green tea and got caught up on all the news, waiting for us younger ones to come in for our hot chocolate. The men, mostly fathers, either leaned against the fence, or sat on the edge of the sleighs, smoking their pipes. The cut-off to the Northcote School was never called anything but the rink road. Other roads had names like the Barr Line, or Admaston, but that road was simply called the rink road. Without fail, as soon as the chores were done on a Saturday night, and the kitchen redded up, Father would say, “time to get ready for the rink road,” and we all knew what that meant. To me it wasn’t up there with seeing a picture show in Renfrew, or going to the Renfrew Fair. But it was a lot cheaper. All it cost was Mother taking her turn making cookies or supplying the cocoa once or twice during the whole winter. It didn’t cost a thin dime to make the rink. It gave the entire community something to do on a Saturday night, and there wasn’t one boy on the ice who didn’t think one day he would move from playing hockey at the Northcote School on rink road right into the big league in Renfrew.

From page 8
The minimum wage stifles the economy and that is why it destroys jobs for students, older people and others who want part-time work. Some businesses cut hours, others eliminate jobs. As well, other businesses never get started because they cannot afford to hire the help they need. The huge increase in the minimum wage will not bring relief to anyone, but will only exacerbate the situation. Stephanie Bond Smiths Falls
Reader responds to columnist’s piece on minimum wage DEAR EDITOR:
Re: Jeff Maguire’s column: Liberals failed to consider impact of wage hike, that appeared in the Jan. 25 issue of this newspaper. I hate to reference US politics but … Maguire wrote: “One is a small bakery. The owner expects costs to jump $85,000 as a result of the minimum wage increase...” The difference between $11.50 and $14/ hour is $2.50/hour. You divide the stated fact of $85,000 by 2,000 labour hours (a full time job evaluation) and you get 42.5. You apply that to the increase of $2.50 per hour and you get 17. So this “small business” employs 17 fulltime staff at well below a livable wage of $11.50/hour
and somehow the Liberals have done something wrong? Big box stores that intentionally hire part-time workers at below a living wage are the reason these changes were made. They have over half a million part-time workers with limited benefits, low wages and a threat of dismissal over a “lack of commitment.” How many employees are “small businesses” employing? I feel for the small businesses that are under pressure for these changes but the reality is that billion dollar companies are taking advantage of lax business rules to maximize shareholder profits.

Nissan shows off heavily redesigned 2018 Leaf electric vehicle As I’ve mentioned in past auto show columns, electric vehicles draw a lot of attention at the Montreal edition, thanks to better than average consumer acceptance of this technology in the region and leading support by the province in terms of charging infrastructure and purchase/lease rebates. For the past several years of Montreal’s show, the only vehicles available for on-street demo drives by attendees were of the electric vehicle variety. It was no surprise then to witness that Nissan took the opportunity of the first auto show of the Canadian circuit to pull the wraps off of the heavily redesigned 2018 Leaf electric vehicle (EV). And just to prove their penchant for being different, instead of professional models on stage, Nissan Canada employed eight current Leaf owners for the task, all who have signed up for this new model due out this month. In fact, more than 1,000 Canadians have put down a deposit on the new Leaf, almost all without ever seeing or driving it. “Thousands of Leaf customers around the world have provided feedback on the electric vehicle ownership experience, and this has been factored into the 2018 Leaf,” says Joni Paiva, president of Nissan Canada Inc. “We
are grateful to these customers for being with us today, and to all Nissan EV customers who engage with us. Their insight allows us to deliver on providing the features EV owners need and helps accelerate our position as the global EV sales leader.” (Nissan has delivered more than 300,000 Leafs globally since its inception in 2010, making it the world EV leader. The Leaf comes in three trim levels ranging in price from $35,998 to $41,998. Ontario buyers/leasers can qualify for a $14,000 rebate along with grants to offset the costs of installing a home charging station. While EVs can recharge their batteries from a normal 110-volt household outlet, the preferred residential option is a 220-volt plug-in which can fully recharge most EV batteries in less than four hours. Many new home builders are now ‘roughing in’ the wiring for these chargers in appropriate garage or driveway locations. At commercial/ municipal quick-charge stations putting out 480 volts, a depleted Leaf can build up 141 km of range in just 30 minutes. The total range for this vehicle is 242 km. The 40 kWh drive battery produces 147 hp through the electric drive motor (up 40 per cent from the previous model). A new feature on the Leaf helps

to improve its range. The e-pedal, a normal looking accelerator, will bring the Leaf to a controlled stop when released and hold it at an intersection until the driver decides to move. This takes advantage of regenerative braking units that put electrical power back into the battery.

It enables the Leaf to operate autonomously during single-lane driving on the highway, helping support safer driving. By using advanced image-processing technology, PROPilot Assist understands road and traffic situations and executes precise steering, enabling the vehicle to perform naturally and delivering a human-like driving feel.

Anonymous allegations have the potential to ruin people’s lives Like so many Ontarians I have been watching in amazement as the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party descends into turmoil just four months before a crucial general election. The Tories are now leaderless and rudderless following Patrick Brown’s highly publicized resignation in the face of sexual misconduct allegations. In just a few hours the party went from virtual shoe-ins to topple the governing Liberals to probable long shots. A leadership race is now underway but barring a major turnaround the party appears to be in trouble. Some other leading Tories, in Ontario and Nova Scotia, have also suffered spectacular falls from grace as the #MeToo movement continues to gain traction. Men from all walks of life, with an emphasis on the entertainment industry, have felt the sting as charges of sexual misconduct are now a daily occurrence across the continent and around the world. Obviously I support any initiative which encourages women and men to report unwanted sexual overtures or sexual assaults to the authorities. Most recently the allegations levelled range from inappropriate remarks all the way to full blown assaults. Anyone found guilty of such activity should face the full weight of the law. Some already have, others are almost certain to. It takes tremendous courage and determination for a victim to see a sexrelated case through to its conclusion.
Those who are falsely accused also face a major challenge. I applaud all of those who are successful in pursuit of the truth. As a career newspaper person I’ve spent a lot of time covering court cases of all kinds. With the exception of murder, sexual assault cases are undoubtedly the most difficult to hear. They are usually very complicated and difficult to outline to the public. The stakes are high for the alleged victim or victims and also for those accused of such crimes. Because of the complexities involved as well as the impact on people’s reputations, police and prosecutors are not in the habit of laying sex-related charges lightly. But what about cases where the authorities are not involved? Situations which, although they fall below the level necessary for criminal prosecution, are just as important to those involved. Brown is perhaps the most highprofile individual now involved in such a case in this province. However the Ontario party president and Nova Scotia’s PC leader have also resigned recently. Both men have (or had) been accused of sexual misconduct as has Kent Hehr, an Alberta Liberal MP. Hehr has stepped down from his cabinet post pending the outcome of an investigation into the allegations made against him. Meanwhile, in our own area, Randy Hillier the Tory MPP for Lanark-
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Frontenac-Lennox and Addington has been criticized by Goldie Ghamari, the nominated PC candidate in the south Ottawa riding of Carleton. She is not alleging sexual misconduct, but claims that Hillier physically accosted her at a party convention in Ottawa in 2016. Hillier denies having any physical contact or even unpleasant words with Ghamari. The party has now hired a third party investigator to provide clarity in the matter. Anonymous allegations Still, it is the Brown case in particular that concerns me and many others. Purely on the strength of the anonymous contentions of two women he was publicly humiliated and forced to step down. His political career is undoubtedly ruined and his personal reputation has taken a major hit. I was stunned by the media fuelled rush to judge Brown. He was essentially charged, tried and found guilty without any opportunity to defend himself! Public figures are particularly vulnerable to such claims, especially dur-
ing the current rush to “out” those who are said to have engaged in such behaviour. What makes Brown’s situation controversial is that his life has been changed forever based on anonymous claims. His accusers did not go to the authorities. Instead they went to a television station that quickly aired their contentions. The fact these claims were made long after the fact and just months before a provincial election, with Brown leading the party that has consistently topped the polls, seems highly suspicious. In other words it’s hard to believe this was coincidental. The Brown saga gives the hugely unpopular Liberals a much-needed boost. A ready-made platform from which to attack their chief opponents. Predictably Premier Kathleen Wynne, riding low in the polls, gave a lengthy reaction to the media about Brown’s situation. She called his accusers “brave young women.” If the women involved had stepped out of the shadows I would agree with the premier. Instead they’re free to make these contentions and then slip anonymously into the night. As for Brown today’s court of public opinion means anyone accused of sexual misconduct is immediately assumed to be guilty. But is that fair? If Brown had been charged criminally he would have the right to a full and complete public airing of the claims levelled against him.

Innocent until proven guilty isn’t just a popular phrase, it is enshrined in Canadian law. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms is in place to ensure people facing criminal charges are given due process. Brown is not charged and, unless more serious allegations are put in front of the authorities, he won’t be. It wasn’t until many hours later, in the cold clear light of another day, that journalists even began to consider Brown’s side of the story. After the fact there have been some very good columns written and on-air editorials read in defence of the due process which was denied him. I was not a fan of Brown as Tory leader and certainly he was roundly criticized for his leadership style. Many political pundits say the PC’s are better off without him. That must be a double blow for a man who has already been publicly shamed with no opportunity to defend himself. Brown’s case is a cautionary tale for all public figures. Because it is now clear that in today’s climate anyone could be accused of similar behaviour and totally ruined in the process. We’re all on a very slippery slope in this regard I think!

Filling: Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet over mediumhigh heat, cook beef, garlic and onion until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in allspice, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and mushrooms. Cook, uncovered until mushrooms are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in corn, carrots and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the mashed potatoes to absorb some of the liquid and thicken mixture. Spread mixture into 10-cup (2.5 l) baking dish. Top with remaining mashed potatoes, spreading evenly. Bake in 375 F (190 C) oven until potatoes are golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

What's old is new again in Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Post’ MOVIE: The Post STARRING: Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, and Tracy Letts DIRECTOR: Steven Spielberg RATING: PG If you’ve ever wondered why we need to remember the past I think The Post provides an answer. The issues that were wrestled with then resonate with issues today. They can provide insight and context for our own decisions. In short there's still much we can learn from the past. In 1971 a top-secret report is leaked to the New York Times. It details American involvement in Vietnam going back four administrations. Among the many bombshells in the report are
My Take MARK HASKINS
things like the rigging of elections, an assessment that the U.S. could not win a military engagement in Vietnam, and the concerted effort to cover it up by the U.S. government. The Times begins to publish stories from the report only to have President Nixon bring the full weight of the Justice Department to bear to shut them down. At the Washington Post they've been playing catch-up. Their editor-
in-chief, Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks), is desperate to get his hands on the papers. The Post's publisher, Kay Graham (Meryl Streep) however has other concerns. She's the first female publisher, and she's been thrust into the role due to the suicide of her husband. Her chief concern is getting the allmale board to take her seriously, and keeping the paper solvent. Meanwhile Post reporter Ben Bagdikian (Bob Odenkirk) tracks down a lead that brings him to Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys) the source of the leaked papers. With the pages in front of them Ben and Kay have a choice to make. Publish the pages and risk everything
in the name of freedom of speech, or play it safe and avoid Nixon's wrath. Ultimately the choice is Kay's. The Post is powerful storytelling from Spielberg as he takes you right to the heart of these events and these people. There's no mistaking his ability to create drama from the historical events, but what I enjoy most is how he avoids portraying characters and instead shows us people. We see their strengths, their weakness, their virtues and their flaws as they struggle with what are monumental events. Oh what a cast. If ever there is a dream cast this is one. Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Tracy Letts, Alison Brie, David Cross, Bruce Greenwood
and Matthew Rhys are brilliant. Of course they are all outshone by Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. Hanks and Streep are masters of their craft. When you’re watching them you forget all about their other roles and accomplishments. All you see is the person they've become. All you see is Ben Bradlee and Kay Graham. The resonance The Post has for the present can't be ignored. The power and the responsibility of a free press is as important now as it was back then. Perhaps more so. We need a press we can trust to hold those in power to account. Except for movie critics. Those guys have no idea what they're talking about.

Albert is a lovely, very friendly tabby boy with striking markings. His different way of greeting you might put you off in first instance as he greets new people with a hiss…quickly turning over for a belly rub after which he’s all over you with head bumps and lots of purring sounds. That’s our Albert, and he could be yours. He’s still growing and judging from his large paws he’s likely going to be a large cat. Albert is ready to be adopted and you can greet him at LAWS in one of the cat-runs. Cameron Meet Cameron who is still a little shy but when given the time he needs will be a lovely tabby boy to call your own. Cameron has stunning markings is about one-year-old and would love to find a quiet forever home. Snoopy and JR

They have to be adopted together. There is a reduction in the adoption fee for taking them both and because of JR’s age. Do you have it in your heart to offer these two lovely male cats a new forever home? Please meet them at LAWS they’re worth the visit!

A screen capture from Jacqui Bowick-Sandor and her supporters’ submission to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) Dance Challenge – an initiative with the aim of raising funds and awareness in an effort to eradicate pulmonary fibrosis. The PFF receives $1 toward a cure for the first 500 videos posted. “I always want to tell people I’m doing better, but it’s not true. So, I just tell the truth.” Bowick-Sandor said that many of the people she’s known who’ve had transplants like her have now passed away. “The fact that I’m still here, I think about how lucky I am,” she said. Bowick-Sandor hopes that by sharing her story, and spreading awareness, it will help people understand what being a transplant recipient means – and how pulmonary fibrosis impacts someone’s life.

lungs in March 2016, after a twoyear wait that almost killed her. Bowick-Sandor found out that she would need a new pair of lungs after she was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a condition that causes scarring of the lungs, a number of years ago. Despite still requiring oxygen tanks to help her breathe, BowickSandor is doing the best she can. When the Record News asked Bowick-Sandor how she was doing during an in-person interview on Thursday, Feb. 1, she said: “Not good.

her girls danced around her to raise awareness about her condition. Bowick-Sandor’s sister, Darlene Rathwell, was one of the dancers in the video. “I think my rhythm is up and gone,” she said. “But, you have to be able to laugh at yourself.” Raising awareness about pulmonary fibrosis is very important to Bowick-Sandor, who said anything she can do to contribute to that is a good thing – and why she never tires of telling her story.

Smiths Falls’ Jacqui Bowick-Sandor, a double-lung transplant recipient suffering with pulmonary fibrosis, got her girls together to take on another challenge. This time, it was dance. Bowick-Sandor and her supporters uploaded a video for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) Dance Challenge, which aims to raise funds and awareness in an effort to eradicate pulmonary fibrosis. The foundation receives $1 toward a cure for the first 500 videos posted. The group danced to Lady Gaga’s song “The Cure” in a choreographed routine created by Sarah Abbass from Flare Dance Studio. In the video, Bowick-Sandor opened with a personal message before the dancing began. “Today we stand, we hold hands in solidarity, looking for a cure for pulmonary fibrosis. I, myself, have had the journey with pulmonary fibrosis, I’ve watched how it affects my family and my friends,” she said. “No patient should have to go through pulmonary fibrosis, no family should have to go through pulmonary fibrosis. Let’s dry all the tears and find a cure.” In response to their video, the foundation gave the girls a shout out: “Wonderful! What an incredible opening speech. You go ladies! We can’t wait to share.” The video, shared on Facebook by PFF on Jan. 29, now has over 8,000 views. “I had a great time. We’re always on the look out for challenges,” said Bowick-Sandor, who remained seated in the centre of the dance floor as
Chuckles Jack chef launches butter chicken sauce for sale at local stores BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
Ram Mogandas, chef at East Meets West in Perth, and at Chuckles Jack in Smiths Falls, is launching his own brand of sauces, salsas, and more. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, he said, as his new brand – Ramello – will be available for purchase at local food stores. “It’s my own brand,” he said. But it won’t be just for Indian food. “I’m going to bring lots of sauces; hopefully … bringing into the stores in time for Valentine’s Day.” Production is happening in Toronto,
and the first batch will be butter chicken sauce. “I’ve been thinking of this mostly since I opened Chuckles Jack,” he said. “People started asking me, when will I have my own sauce on the market.” Local specialty stores, like Garden Market in Smiths Falls, and Foodsmiths in Perth, (and eventually larger stores like Your Independent Grocer in the near future), will have the sauces for sale. The jars of 375ml in size – just one size – and the butter chicken recipe is included on the label. “This is what I’ve been waiting for,” he said … a dream come true. Mogandas says the credit goes to his
customers. “They’re the ones who encouraged me to do this,” he said. Jambalaya and soups will also be available. “I have lots of varieties of soups, and then there will be some hot sauces.” But that’s a little bit down the road, he said. Mogandas will be helping some local charities. A percentage of proceeds of sales will go to a different charity on a monthly basis. “I need to give back to the community that has been so good to me,” he said. “Because of them, I’m doing this.” Mogandas said if any store owner would like to sell this product, please call him at 613-613 285-9195.

So that’s why they’ll be putting the $5,000 already raised towards sending kids to camp this summer. But, said Reilly, with the Bears still in the running to win $15,000 in total for the Salvation Army, “Who knows what’s going to happen?” In an address to parents, players, team staff and supporters, on Thursday, Feb. 1, after the team found out they’d made the finals, team manager Tina Hughes said she’s touched by the community support the team has received so far. Hughes said in her lifetime the only time she’s seen a community rally like this was for Neil Doef, and Brooke and Brittany Henderson. Hughes gave special shoutouts to YourTV for their role in helping produce their video highlighting the Bears and their good deeds, and Rob Garvin for spreading the word in his network – resulting in some very high profile reach including the Ottawa Senators Foundation and a number of NHL players, among others. Brooke Henderson also gave the young players a special shout-out.
To recognize the team’s efforts, Garvin decided to sponsor the Bears so that they could attend the Brockville Winter Classic this month where the team will get to watch the New York Rangers alumni game against Canadian Tire Brockville, and potentially have a shot at dropping the puck. Hughes said through this experience, the players have grown as people – learning a lot, increasing their confidence and opening doors to other opportunities. Before finding out that the team had made the finals, they also had the experience of playing together on the Parliament Hill rink in Ottawa. “They’ve learned so much as little people,” said Hughes. “The biggest thing they’ve learned is that if you give, things come back to you.” The team’s captain, Carter Hughes, said helping others was his favourite part of this whole experience. “It’s been an experience of a lifetime for these kids,” said Bobbi Bell, parent of player Luke Bell. “It’s a year they’ll never forget. “It just makes you so proud as a parent. It was such a life lesson.”
Bell said that their whole family participated in the effort. “It didn’t just end with the kids – it was brothers, sisters, parents – everybody helped make this happen,” she said. Rachael Elizabeth Bell, another of the team’s parents, reminded the group that even though the Bears have made it to the finals, the work isn’t over yet. The judging panel is still watching to see how much community support surrounds the local team. She said instead of relaxing, the effort needs to “ramp up.” Coach Keith Rhoden congratulated the players at a special meeting called at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on Feb. 1, alongside Hughes. The team didn’t know they’d made the finals before Rhoden made the special announcement. “Great job guys, all the hard work we’ve put into this, between the parents, the manager, the coaching staff, coming out late at night, putting flyers on all the cars – (I) really appreciate that,” said Rhoden to everyone at the meeting. “I’ve been doing this (coaching) for 30 some years, and this team is unbelievable. We’re a big family; doing this is awesome
guys, you should be proud of yourselves. It’s just amazing.” For a town of under 9,000 people, Smiths Falls was able to beat out teams with higher populations through the community support and reach that they got beyond their small eastern Ontario town. “This is big for the town,” said Rhoden after the presentation. In a previous interview with the Record News, Rhoden said that if the team got into the top three – where they are right now – they’d have a good chance of bringing home the cup. Rhoden expressed that the fight for third had everyone on the edge of their seats in an interview before voting closed at midnight on Sunday, Jan. 28. He called the community support “unbelievable.” But, even though the Bears have been wrapped up with the Good Deeds Cup, there’s still hockey to play, said Rhoden. Rhoden said the team’s next goal is to place first in the league this year. The team is currently ranked third.
The Smiths Falls Peewee B Bears want the community to come out to their tailgate party donning the team’s colours to show hometown pride, and help the Bears with their final push to bring home the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup. “We want to use this to show our community engagement,” said Hughes, before council on Monday, Feb. 5, when she and the entire team, including staff, coaches and 15 players – including 14 boys and one girl between the ages of 11 and 12 – paid town hall a visit. The team hopes to get some 1,000 people out to the event. “We’re hoping it’ll be a sea of black and yellow,” said Hughes. The tailgate party will be held on Saturday, Feb. 17, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Gerry Lowe Memorial Sens Rink. The barbecue will not only be a chance for Smiths Falls to show off its hometown pride, but it’ll also be a chance for residents to contribute nonperishable food items to the Salvation Army. A drone will be used to capture footage of the hometown Tailgate party support at the event. Get your yellow and black Hughes came before council ready, Smiths Falls. on Monday to request $500 to
help fund the event, and permission to decorate the town’s parking metres will yellow and black. Council agreed to both requests. “It’s amazing to me that at such a young age, they’ve (the team) made such an impact,” said Coun. Lorraine Allen. All other council members shared Allen’s sentiment. “I think in many ways, it’s probably life changing,” said Mayor Shawn Pankow. “We’re very excited about helping you get the cup.” Pankow acknowledged that in the past, the Salvation Army has struggled to send kids to camp. But this year, they don’t need to worry thanks to the Bears’ contribution. “It’s advertising that you can’t buy,” said Coun. John Maloney, of the impact the young Bears have had spreading the message about community in Smiths Falls. But, the team didn’t just want financial support from council and town staff. Hughes, on behalf of the team, challenged the town to go out and do their own good deed to show that it’s not just the Bears who give back, but that they’ve impacted others to go out and make a difference too.

township took positive steps forward to deal with invasive noxious weeds in the township. In 2017, Montague piloted a spray program through specific areas in the township. In 2018, they’re expanding that spray program as well as discussing the development of an overall management plan for invasive species. Collaboration and coordination Montague continued to support the collaborative relationships with area municipalities including Drummond North Elmsley, through a partnership to provide planning services “We also took positive steps forward in our shared services relationships with our closest neighbour, Smiths Falls, including discussions of connecting various trail networks,” said Dobson. Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail Dobson said Montague is excited to support to the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) and has been supporting the county in the development of the trail. The OVRT starts in Montague, from Sturgess Road and proceeds through to Beckwith and continues on all the way through to Arnprior. There are partnerships between Lanark County, Renfrew County and Township of PapineauCameron. Dobson said that the OVRT has a management plan now — including general operations, speed usage, maintenance — and is being distributed to townships. “We’re hoping to be able to have this open this year (in the fall),” he said. “The whole (continuous) trail goes from Montague to Matawa.” See Montague page SF8

If we leave the water in the glass or container, it then clears up quickly and the cloudiness disappears. Should we have any concerns? ANSWER - Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water and is completely harmless. It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Cold water therefore tends to trap and hold more air than warm water. If you should observe cloudy water, the best thing to do is let it sit in an open container until the bubbles naturally disappear. If you have should have any further questions about the Town’s water treatment process, please contact the Public Works and Utilities Department at 613-283-4124 ext 3302.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Adult Learning & Training Centre looking for volunteers at Smiths Falls campus DEAR EDITOR,
You come through the doors. You can smell the coffee. You can hear the scribbling of pens and pencils, and the soft, repetitive tap of fingers on a keyboard. We are a starting point for so many, but for so many, just starting is the hardest part. We are the Adult Learning & Training Centre in Smiths Falls and we are always ready to welcome new learners on the path to work, learning and life. We are also always ready to welcome new volunteer tutors. For many of our learners, one-on-one tutors are
the most effective way to learn math, literacy and basic skills. The benefits of this approach are far-reaching. Every person is unique and individual and may learn in a different way than others. A one-to-one approach helps the learner to recognize and apply their strengths effectively, and strengthen their weakness all while remaining engaged in their work. Don’t know math? Don’t panic. You can still be an amazing volunteer. When I first began at the Centre, math was not a strong subject for me either. But I quickly re-learned the rules for adding fractions and converting them to decimals, alongside
my avid learners. We took the journey together, creating an awesome sense of equality and respect, key ingredients for successful learning. So if you want to really make a difference in the community, stop by the Adult Learning & Training Centre at 52 Abbott St., in Smiths Falls and ask about becoming a volunteer. We are in need of tutors for math and English, at any level. The gratitude shown by a learner you help; is a feeling you won’t soon forget! Sincerely, Kelley Denham Smiths Falls
f you haven’t heard, Smiths Falls is on the rise. It’s the dominant narrative swirling around town. It’s even highlighted as part of the town’s new look. “Rise at the Falls” is the town’s new slogan and was released when the Smiths Falls’ new logo and website was revealed last summer. Even Kathleen Wynne spent time talking about Smiths Falls’ rise in front of the 444 municipalities present at the Rural Ontario Municipal Association Conference hosted in Toronto this January, highlighting the revitalization of the historic rail town in eastern Ontario, which suffered greatly after massive job losses thanks to fleeing industry. If you’ve seen national news coverage featuring Smiths Falls, it seems to be all about pot — crediting Canopy Growth Corporation, the parent company of a number of grow facilities including Tweed — as being as the town’s saviour. And while this is true in part — the company has created hundreds of jobs since it opened (and will surpass the employment base of Hershey), it has given back to the community with a series of large donations to the food bank and Station Theatre, and impacted the real estate market, but there’s more to this “rise” than the narrative national media has portrayed. In recent months, you’ve probably heard the hype about Le Boat – Europe’s largest self-driving boat company that has chosen to make Smiths Falls its North American headquarters. The hope is that Le Boat will bring tourists, and the tourists will shop in town and benefit the local economy. And, there’s more. Recent investment that meant the sale of buildings and land that the town hasn’t seen in decades. The local real estate market has also heated up. But, what is lacking from this conversation? There is still some 40 per cent of the town’s population relying on some form of public assistance. Remember in December 2016 and January 2017, when the basic income pilot project was widely discussed and advocated for? Smiths Falls is a community in need of long-term, sustainable poverty reduction strategies. Having more businesses come to town is part of that. Having a great corporate citizen
EVELYN HARFORD View From Here like Canopy Growth Corp is a huge asset. As the Chairman and CEO of Canopy, Bruce Linton, has mentioned many times – the company invests in the communities where they operate. And, when they can, they hire locally, and they buy locally. But how will all residents benefit? If you believe in “trickle down” economics, everyone will benefit to some degree. If you don’t, you might be concerned that there will be people left behind. And, right now, you might even feel left out of the rise or feel that you’re not seeing any change. The “rise” isn’t going to happen overnight. We won’t wake up and find Smiths Falls dramatically transformed. But, over time, I’d like to believe the trajectory will benefit those who have taken a serious hit from job losses that have plagued the town over the last decades. In a conversation with Mayor Shawn Pankow recently, we spoke about the lasting impact residents are still facing from job cuts and the economic recession of 2008. There are still folks who have not recovered. There are still folks who have relied on public assistance for generations – systemic poverty issues that are not solved overnight. Solutions to poverty include a robust, diversified economy with productive and effective social safety nets to make change, spaces where entrepreneurs can blossom like the Meraki Collective, a shared workspace that opened in Smiths Falls this fall, and opportunities for residents to take ownership of their town. We are seeing the beginnings of this, again. Smiths Falls was once booming town. It has reinvented itself before. This town is colourful and unique. It’s got charm, character and grit. And while stereotypes still persist – since I’ve come to Smiths Falls it’s always been the town that could, a town with so much potential, and a town on the rise. But, in the excitement, we can’t forget those who might feel left behind.

Town sells land for development The Town of Smiths Falls will sell off two parcels of land on Ferrara Drive for over $200,000 for commercial development projects. The first agreement is with R.W. Rodine Ltd., for the property at 33 Ferrara Dr.. That property is being sold for $61,500. The appraised value of the land is $75,000. However, the town feels that selling the property to a local business owner will create new jobs and increased investment in the community, outweighing a lower purchase price than the appraised value. Robert Rodine, a local chiropractor, would like to move his operations to the 33 Ferrara Dr. location, and plans develop a new wellness centre, according to a town report. The second property, at 30 Ferrara Dr., is being sold for $152,000 – the appraised value of the land – to a numbered company that belongs to the Saumure Group. No details were provided about possible future uses for the property. According to a town report tabled before council at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, Feb. 5, the town had been actively marketing three commercial lots on Ferrara Drive for 15 years. Council passed two bylaws for the disposition of land to accept the purchase agreements at their council meeting following a special committee meeting where the issue was discussed on Feb. 5.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. has applied for approval of its natural gas franchise agreement with the Corporation of the Township of Rideau Lakes. Learn more. Have your say. Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. has applied to the Ontario Energy Board for: 1. The approval of a natural gas franchise agreement with the Corporation of the Township of Rideau Lakes which would grant to Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. the right to build, operate and add to the natural gas distribution system and to distribute, store and transmit natural gas for a period of 20 years. 2. An order that the agreement of the municipal voters of the Corporation of the Township of Rideau Lakes is not required in relation to granting the natural gas franchise agreement. 3. An order cancelling the existing certificate of public convenience and necessity with a former municipality within the Township of Rideau Lakes and replacing it with a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the amalgamated Corporation of the Township of Rideau Lakes. In a separate decision and order dated August 3, 2017, the Ontario Energy Board extended the term of the current franchise agreement on an interim basis until such time that the Ontario Energy Board makes a final determination on the application. THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will hold a public hearing to consider Enbridge Gas’ requests. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide whether to grant Enbridge Gas’ requests. The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost. CERTIFICATES OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY In order to distribute natural gas in Ontario, a person must comply with the requirements of the Municipal Franchises Act. This Act requires that a person that intends to distribute natural gas within a municipality must first receive approval from the OEB, in the form of a certificate of public convenience and necessity. Where the OEB has issued a certificate for an area but there is currently no natural gas distribution service, another person can apply for a certificate to serve that area. BE INFORMED AND HAVE YOUR SAY You have the right to information regarding this application and to be involved in the process. • You can review the application filed by Enbridge Gas on the OEB’s website now. • You can file a letter with your comments, which will be considered during the hearing. • You can become an active participant (called an intervenor). Apply by February 20, 2018 or the hearing will go ahead without you and you will not receive any further notice of the proceeding. • At the end of the process, you can review the OEB’s decision and its reasons on our website.
The OVRT has been a passion for Dobson as both reeve and councillor, who has been involved since its inception when the original hope when lobbying the federal government, who then owned the Canadian Pacific Railway, was to keep the rail line open about a decade ago.
The OEB does not intend to provide for an award of costs for this hearing.
Other goings on Dobson said the township is currently involved in efforts to expand Internet and cellphone coverage throughout the township through various initiatives. The township also reports that the expansion of VIA Rail connections through the Smiths Falls and Montague area is in the works. The township supported the response to the opioid crisis in Lanark by funding the provision of naloxone to the Montague Fire Department.
There are two types of OEB hearings– oral and written. The OEB intends to proceed with this application by way of a written hearing unless a party satisfies the OEB that there is good reason for not holding a written hearing. If you believe an oral hearing is necessary, you must provide written reasons to the OEB by February 20, 2018.
Municipal election 2018 Dobson said he is undecided whether or not he’ll run in the next municipal election scheduled for this fall. When the question was posed, Dobson replied: “To be honest, I haven’t decided. I’ve got an awful lot of support.”
LEARN MORE Our file number for this case is EB-2017-0267. To learn more about this hearing, find instructions on how to file letters or become an intervenor, or to access any document related to this case, please enter the file number EB-2017-0267 on the OEB website: www.oeb.ca/participate. You can also phone our Consumer Relations Centre at 1-877-632-2727 with any questions. ORAL VS. WRITTEN HEARINGS
PRIVACY If you write a letter of comment, your name and the content of your letter will be put on the public record and the OEB website. However, your personal telephone number, home address and e-mail address will be removed. If you are a business, all your information will remain public. If you apply to become an intervenor, all information will be public. This hearing will be held under sections 8(1), 9(3) and 9(4) of the Municipal Franchises Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.M.55.

June 13, 1938 - Feb 2, 2018 It is with great sadness that the family of Betty Wynne announces her passing after a brief but courageous fight with cancer, Feb 2, 2018, at the age of 79 years.

Betty was born on June 13, 1938 in Kirkland Lake to William and Marjorie Weston. She is survived by her brother John Weston (Nancy). She always held a special place in her heart for Kirkland Lake and spoke of it often. They moved to Smiths Falls as a young girl, where she would grow up and make it her home, marrying Garry Wynne, and raising her five children. Betty was very active and loved a good game of golf, although not without some humming words! She was very competitive in everything she did. We were lucky to have a Mom (and Dad) both that instilled good values in us and taught us right from wrong. We are thankful for the time we had with her and may she Rest in Peace. Family and friends paid their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls on Tuesday, February 6, 2018 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Funeral service was held in the Blair & Son Chapel on Wednesday, February 7, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. Interment followed at Hillcrest Cemetery.

Ian Lamb has redefined the ‘19th hole’. At the well-lived age of 91, Ian has taken his final trip in search of greener fairways and to join loved ones from days gone by. His recent few years navigating Alzheimer Dementia presented some irritating challenges for him, primarily because it started to cramp his style on the golf course. Always the consummate gentleman on and off the course, he faced these increasing challenges with his unique, undeniable and unequaled determination, optimism, strong will and unparalleled charm. His loving partner and golf-mate of the past ten years, Cora Jamieson was by his side throughout that journey. He was also supported by his three biggest fans - Tracy, Richard and Kerron, devoted offspring of Ian and Rae, his late beloved wife of over 47 years. Ian was a beloved grandpa to his very own ‘group of seven’: Matthew, Sarah and Simon Smyth, Bethany and Daniel Lamb, and Graeme and Madeline Tang. Born January 7, 1927 in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Ian attended the University of Cape Town, South Africa, where he graduated as a Civil Engineer. He immigrated to Canada in 1955 to apply his trade to the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway, then later to the international bridge at Prescott. He and Rae Freeman met, were married, and moved back to Rhodesia, where Tracy and Richard were born before they moved back to Canada and settled in Carleton Place in 1964, both employed as teachers by Carleton Place High School. Ian left CPHS after a couple of years to teach civil engineering at Algonquin College for the remainder of his career. We will miss him dearly, as will so many people beyond his family whose lives he has impacted over the years. The family would like to thank Dr. Stephen Walker and the nursing staff at the Carleton Place hospital for their compassionate care for Ian, as well as for the team of caregivers that had been supporting him at home prior to his hospitalization. Visitation was held Wednesday, February 7 from 7-9 p.m., and Thursday, February 8 from 12 - 2 p.m., followed immediately by a service and reception at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 MacArthur Avenue, Carleton Place. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ian’s name to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital or the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be appreciated.

THE PERSON
DONALDSON, Raymie, Feb 5, 2013 - In loving memory of a dear husband, loving father and a special poppa. He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries, Went unspoken too. He was there...A firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold on to, In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to, When times were good or bad, One of our great blessings, The man that we called Dad. With all our love, Feryn, Cathy, Pat, Larry and their families
FRASER In loving memory of a dear Mom and Grandma, Carolyn who passed away January 12th, 2014 and a dear Dad and Poppa, Ian who passed away May 10th, 2017. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, Your’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.
A dear daughter and sister, Heather, who passed away January 29, 1985. Thirty-three sad and lonely years have passed, Since our great sorrow fell, How well we do remember, That sad and weary day. God gave us the strength to meet it, The courage to bear the blow. But what it meant to lose you Heather, No one will ever know. Friends may think we have forgotten, When at times they see us smile, But they little know the heartache, Our smiles hide all the while. They say time heals all sorrows And helps you to forget, But time has only proved How much we miss you yet. Always loved and sadly missed Laurie, Scott, Fraser Joey and Ethan.

Furry Tales seeking donations to help with recent cats brought into rescue Furry Tales Rescue is a 100 per cent volunteer-run cat rescue located in Smiths Falls, with adoption centres in Smiths Falls, Kemptville, Richmond Village and several locations in Ottawa, including the Feline Café Ottawa. Since opening its doors in August 2015, the organization has rescued over 1,000 cats, and in 2017, it had over 500 adoptions. In January 2018 alone, there were an incredible 66 adoptions. Furry Tales receives no funding other than adoption fees, which do not cover vet costs, as each cat is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and treated with Revolution and Milbemax. There are online auctions to help cover the difference and receive donations from individuals from whom the organization could not continue without their support. Furry Tales is primarily foster based, with about 30 fosters registered. There is also a cattery for 10 to 25 cats at any given time. Aside from regular cats and kittens, Furry Tales tries to help as many seniors as possible. Recently, the organization took in two bonded 11-year-olds. They will require shaving due to matting and dental cleaning/extractions. Furry Tales also welcomed a 10-year-old diabetic known as Dr.
McCoy. He is a lovely male adult who was found in a sewer in Kemptville and weighed only 4.85 pounds for a full-grown male. He will require months to gain back five pounds, so he will be in care longer-term. They also took in 11 unneutered males from a home who could no longer care for them — shy boys who will need patience and love. For Furry Tales to continue to help these wonderful cats in need, they are asking for help with financial contributions, food and litter, as well as quality foster homes. This organization assists cats without boundaries — Smiths Falls, Perth, Morrisburg, Ottawa, Kemptville and beyond. If you can help with a donation, there are several drop-off locations for food and litter — Smiths Falls Pet Valu, Kemptville Pet Valu, Richmond Village Pet Valu, Healthy Pets HQ on 420 Bank St. in Hintonburg, Pet Valu on Wellington Street in Ottawa and the Feline Café Ottawa on 1076 Wellington St. Financial donations can be made by e-transfer or through PayPal to furrytalesrescue@gmail.com — no amount is too small. Fosters can apply on their website at www.furry-tales.ca. Submitted by Furry Tales

The Smiths Falls Settlers celebrate a goal in this file photo against Almonte Jan. 29.
Settlers win streak snapped at 27
BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
The Maniwaki Mustangs have snapped the Smiths Falls Settlers 27game winning streak in the Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League as they delivered a 5-2 punch Saturday night in Smiths Falls. The Mustangs are currently in second place in the East Division on a record of 19-14-0-1 for 39 points. Smiths Falls has been enjoying the view from the top of the division standings with just two losses for a total of 56 points on a record of 262-0-2. After a scoreless first period, the Mustangs jumped into the lead with the only goal of the period when Adam Mactyshem scored. In the third, Ollie Berndtsson tied the rally for the Settlers when he was unassisted on the equalizer. The Mustangs went ahead again on Jonathan Dumont’s goal at 15:17, but Jovani Moses tied it once more a minute later. At the 13:15 mark, the Mustangs scored what turned out to be the game winner from Anthony Bedard. They added two more from Motcini Brazeau and Dumont with his second (an empty netter) for the 5-2 final. On Monday at home, the Settlers hosted the EOHA from Ottawa and turned in an 8-2 win. The game was scoreless until 18:37 of the second period when Raymond Jolly got the momentum started. Other second period markers came from Berndtsson, Jake Awan (2), and Moses. Into the third, Adam Porter and Jolly potted two more before the visitors could get their second from Brandon Paquette for the 8-2 final. Kyle Fritz had the win in nets with 14 saves. Game stars were Austin Vallier for Smiths Falls with four assists (first); Jake Awan for Smiths Falls with two goals and an assist (second), and Raymond Jolly for Smiths Falls with two goals and an assist (third). In an interview with head coach of the Settlers, Frank Morris, during the team’s home game against Almonte Jan. 29, he said he was pleased with the team’s progress this season. “It was this summer when we were
starting to put the team together, some of the players we were talking about are starting to come to fruition,” Morris said. “I could tell this summer, in talking with Barry (DeGray, co-owner of the team) that we are in the making of quite a hockey team.” It’s been the hard work over the summer and recruitment is starting to pay off, he added. DeGray said it’s not just the players on the ice who are making a difference, but those behind the bench as well. “It’s the organization from top to bottom,” DeGray said. “We’ve got some quality people – it comes from the ownership to our general manager, assistant coach, training staff… and not just that but the Gallipeaus, (owners of the Gallipeau Centre, where the players are living), to the kitchen restaurant, the Iron Kettle, (at the Gallipeau Centre) right over to our gym, Good Vibrations. The whole community has really backed us this year, which has been a real positive.” From top to bottom, it’s been a good experience for
the players, DeGray added. “And it’s been a really good experience for us as owners of the club, which is something we want to do – represent the community the community throughout Ontario with the Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League.” Heading into playoffs, Morris said the Settlers are the “red hot favourites.” The team is about four points behind ESSA Stallions, the leaders of the West Division. But with two games in hand, the Settlers may have the advantage. “We’ve dominated Essa most of the season,” Morris said. “They’ve added a couple players to their roster; we’ve added a couple players, so we have big expectations for the playoffs. But you’ve got to be careful that complacency doesn’t set in and that’s what I’m starting to drill into the guys. You cannot take your foot off the gas. We’re in a title race and we’ve got to carry that right into playoffs. That’s hard to do.” The Settlers are in Almonte on Saturday, Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m.

The Smiths Falls Bears celebrate Matthieu France’s second goal of the season on, Feb. 2.
Jr. A Bears defeat Nationals in OT BY STAFF
Alex DiCarlo had two goals for the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears Friday night, Feb. 2, at home, including the overtime shot that gave the club a 4-3 win in CCHL action against the Rockland Nationals. The game was stopped just ahead of the second period when the fire alarm was triggered causing an evacuation. With Smiths Falls fire fighters on scene, onlookers said it was a “false alarm” and play resumed moments later. It was a one-all deadlock after the fires period with Rockland scoring first as Alex Robert got past Bradley Dobson in the crease. DiCarlo had his first of the night – and 17th of the season, when he scored on the power play at 17:41, assisted by Bruce Coltart and Mitchell Larabie. Into the second, Smiths Falls got two up on the visitors with Matthieu Franche’s second goal of his Bears career, as he scored from Hunter
Garlasco and Michael Larose. Larose had one of his own at 12:49, his 16th of the season, as the Bears were up 3-1. Franche was helped out by DiCarlo on the shot. Rockland added one more from Dallas Maurovic at 14:29, but the Bears still held a 3-2 lead heading into the final period. It was Trevor Coykendall who tied the match at 4:09,
forcing the overtime period. DiCarlo didn’t take long to sink the winner, as he was assisted by Garlasco and Coltart just 21 seconds into the period for the 4-3 win. He picked up the game’s first star honours for his two goals and an assist in this game. The Bears are in Kanata Thursday night for a 7:30 p.m. start. Friday, they host Kemptville at 7:30 p.m.

Proud recipients of the top award for Investment Company and Financial Planning At Pankow Financial Solutions, we believe that everything we do, and every recommendation we make must be centred on our clients’ long-term financial security. By taking a comprehensive approach to financial planning, we attempt to ensure their clients are properly prepared for their future, based on their priorities today.
37 William Street E, Smiths Falls 613-283-5510
www.pankow.ca
“WE PLAN, TO HELP YOU PROSPER”
“Every financial planning decision you make has an impact on other elements of your long-term financial security,” says President Shawn Pankow. “Paying too much for your life, disability or critical illness insurance means you have less money to put away for retirement or your children’s education. However, ignoring your insurance needs and focusing solely on accumulating your wealth for retirement leaves you exposed and vulnerable should you die, become seriously ill or disabled.” “Weighing the conflicting demands for cash flow and determining the most appropriate strategies for each client is a very individualized process. We all want to ensure our family’s financial security is secured if we die. None of us want to lose our savings, our home and our financial security if we become seriously ill or disabled and I’m sure almost everyone wants to accumulate enough wealth in their lifetime to retire when they want, with the lifestyle they desire,” says Pankow. At Pankow Financial Solutions, we take a proactive role in portfolio management and believe frequent interactions with our clients help ensure they continue to be aware of the factors in this ever-changing world that must be considered for their long-term financial security.

“We believe our ability to provide independent and objective financial advice does set us apart, and it is this autonomy and freedom of choice that enables us to source the most appropriate financial solutions for each individual client,” says Pankow.
