ANALYSIS

NEWS ANALYSIS: 'IN A STATE OF FLUX': MUNICIPALITIES GRAPPLE WITH PROVINCIAL FUNDING CHANGES HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@ metroland.com Anyone who has been following the news lately knows that the winds of change have come to Ontario. Following the Progressive Conservative government's first official budget presentation earlier this year, a number of changes called everything from "cuts" to "restructuring" to "efficiencies" depending on who you ask - have either already been introduced or are on the horizon, causing anxiety for many Ontarians as they contemplate the ways in which their lives will be impacted. Let's take a closer look at a few of these changes that have a direct impact

QUESTION: IN RECENT MONTHS, A NUMBER OF CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE IN REGARD TO PROVINCIAL FUNDING OF LOCAL PROGRAMS USED BY MANY OTTAWA VALLEY RESIDENTS. HOW WILL THESE CHANGES IMPACT LOCAL SERVICES AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE THEM? CONCLUSION: LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES ARE ALREADY FEELING THE STING OF THESE CUTS, WITH MANY MUNICIPAL REPRESENTATIVES AND EMPLOYEES SEEING THEM AS COST DOWNLOADING. RESIDENTS HAVE ALREADY LOST ACCESS TO THE INTERLIBRARY LOAN PROGRAM, AND THE FATE OF CERTAIN PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS AND PARAMEDIC SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY UP IN THE AIR. on local rural municipalities, services and community members.

PUBLIC HEALTH In addition to the uncertainty that accompanies reducing the number of health units from 35 to 10, public health will receive direct funding cuts to pro-

grams like Smoke Free Ontario and Healthy Smiles. These were previously funded by the province, but next year will be restructured to a 70:30 provincialmunicipal funding model. The province was originally going to apply these cuts retroactively, effective April 1, 2019, but suddenly

changed their mind on May 27 in reaction to outcry from municipalities who had no opportunity to factor the extra costs into this year's budget. While public health unit costs are the responsibility of municipalities as per provincial legislation, these programs have bene-

"Our services are going to be affected," expressed Smiths Falls Coun. Lorraine Allen. "You can't lose that much money and expect to have the same service. I'm watching it and I'm very concerned. I think

many of our health care workers are concerned as well." Jane Hess, director of healthy living and development for the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, also brought up these concerns with Perth council on May 7.

Rideau Lakes Mayor Arie Hoogenboom’s cottage was damaged in a fire destroyed that destroyed his neighbour’s cottage on Bass Lake in Rideau Lakes Township over the Victoria Day weekend. Rideau Lakes and Smiths Falls firefighters responded to a call reporting the fire around 6:45 p.m. on Monday, May 20. Black smoke billowed from the property. By the time firefighters arrived, the cottage was already fully involved. “With the high winds off the lake, unfortunately, it was a total loss,” said Rideau Lakes Fire Chief Scott Granahan. He said that the damage to the cottage was so significant that crews were unable to complete an

from spreading,” he said. Just days prior to the devastating fire, Hoogenboom spend time at the Rideau Lakes Fire Services and visited three of the township’s four stations. At that time, he didn’t anticipate how soon he’d be seeing them again. “It makes you more fully appreciate the work that they do,” he said. Most importantly, though, Hoogenboom acknowledged that no one was hurt in the blaze. “Buildings are replaceable, but people aren’t,” he said. Damage to cottage that burned down has been estimated at $350,000. Granahan said in instances such as this it’s a reminder for people to have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes and cottages.

Granahan said the cottagers had already left their seasonal residence for the weekend and were not home when the fire broke out. No injuries were reported. Hoogenboom and his son-in-law were at their cottage until about 5:30 p.m. on May 20. Then he got a call from the fire chief letting him know that the cottage next to theirs has burned down. “We’re only maybe 20 feet from side to side,” Hoogenboom said. Though Hoogenboom’s cottage has damage to the siding and the window frames, he’s glad firefighters were able to save his seasonal home. “They’re not always able to save the buildings, but they’re able to stop it (fire)

ANALYSIS

PROVINCIAL FUNDING CHANGES MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR MUNICIPALITIES Continued from page 2

after April 1, 2020," she said. "The downloading will cost municipalities," responded Mayor John Fenik. "It's very much in a state of flux."

LIBRARIES In April, the Southern Ontario Library Service's (SOLS) budget was abruptly slashed by 50 per cent, causing SOLS to permanently cut its interlibrary loan system. It's hard to deny that the impact will be felt most by patrons of small town and rural libraries, which have much smaller collections on site compared to larger urban centres. "It's a big hit for us," Karen Schecter, CEO of the Smiths Falls Public Library, told the Smiths Falls Record News in April. Schecter said she expects the demise of SOLS

will end up costing the library money, as they may now have to pay Canada Post for deliveries of these materials. "I think this hits smaller libraries harder," she said. "I sometimes feel that decisions are made by people who don't understand the system." Many people across the province are fighting this decision, including the group Friends of the Perth and District Union Public Library, who found support in their formerly PC MPP Randy Hillier when they presented him with a 300-plus signature petition on May 10 to restore the interlibrary loan system. "Finding efficiencies is one thing," the newly untethered Hillier told The Perth Courier, but outright cuts is something else. "It's our job now to be strong advocates."

PARAMEDICS The announcement that Ontario's 52 ambulance services will be restructured into 10 within the next two years also came as a surprise, particularly in Renfrew County, where council recently took the plunge into buying five new $250,000 ambulances and planning a new paramedic headquarters in Pembroke despite the uncertainty. Renfrew County health committee chair Michael Donohue called the provincial ambulance changes "short sighted" noting that they seemed to be "an afterthought in the budget." The province, he said, is showing "incredible disregard for its municipal funding partners."

GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE Unsurprisingly, local PC MPPs are defending the

changes. Renfrew-NippissingPembroke MPP John Yakabuski said the ambulance changes are "all part and parcel" of a "modernization" of the health care system aimed at ensuring services are focused where they are needed, reducing wait times and ending hallway health care. For his part, Steve Clark, MPP for LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes and Minister of of Municipal Affairs, said that the changes are necessary to "clean up the fiscal mess" in Ontario. The province, Clark says, was left with "a $15-billion deficit and interest payments on our debt that cost the province $36 million every day. This was unsustainable and put core public services that my constituents rely on, like health care

and education, in jeopardy." Clark went on to say that he recognizes the benefit the interlibrary loan system provided to users in his riding. "I was disappointed SOLS opted to cut this service, rather than working with our government to explore alternative methods of delivering it," Clark said.

FULL EFFECTS STILL TO BE FELT Regardless of whether or not you agree with Clark and Yakabuski, or Hillier and the local municipal representatives, it is hard to deny that many residents will feel the impact of recent cuts, and that municipalities will be forced to make difficult choices in regard to their own budgets. As Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon recently expressed, at first glance the province "seems to want to reduce ru-

ral and small town governance of essential health services while maintaining the expectations of (municipalities) funding those services." As we await final decisions on the fate of ambulance services and health care programs, the full impact of these restructuring initiatives remains to be seen. – with files from Evelyn Harford, Desmond Devoy and John Carter.

For those nearing the end of life, there will soon be a hospice closer to home. Rideau Community Health Services is in the process of planning to bring both a residential hospice and integrated health facility to Smiths Falls - the first of its kind between Kingston and Ottawa. Currently, there are no hospice beds in the Perth, Merrickville and Smiths Falls corridor. "I think the community would benefit from it," said Michele Bellows, CEO of Rideau Community Health Services (RCHS). "It gives patients and families another option for end of life. Right now, your options are hospital, travel to a hospice or die at home." Bellows said that while the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital does offer palliative care, but it's not the same as a hospice. The area has been approved for four hospice beds. Bellows said from a budgetary perspective four

the praises of the project. "Our community is going through a renaissance and this is something that's going to help serve the needs of our community for decades to come in a much more efficient manner," he said. Conversations about the hospice, which is still in its beginning stages, began about two years ago. Community engagement will be the next step in bringing the project closer to reality. RCHS is also in the process of figuring out what the integrated health facility will look like. The former RCHS CEO, Peter McKenna, and his team mused about what it might look like moving forward with an integrated health facility where different providers coming together under one roof. Under this model, a person could access a variety of services and care providers in one space. For example, you can access a nurse practitioner and someone from the Alzheimer's Society in one space.

SATURDAY, JUNE 15 930AM - 330PM

The prospect of Beckwith Street's redevelopment getting underway this year isn't a lost cause yet. Council voted in favour on Tuesday, May 21, of accepting the offer from Ottawa Greenbelt Construction - the sole bidder for the main street's revitalization that came in substantially over budget - to extend the validity of their tender proposal for 120 days. The original bid for the first phase of the project came in at $9.5 million - well over the $5.7 million the town had budgeted. "We're optimistic," said Troy Dunlop, the town's director of public works and utilities. "The appealing thing about 120 days is that it's not rushed." The 120-day window for discussions began from the time the tender was submitted to the town on April 11. The contractor reached out in early May after council decided that they'd reject the bid to see if there was still an opportunity for them to work with the town. Greenbelt said they were willing to leave all options open for discussion, including phasing the project to match the town's funding levels.

Once information has been received and discussions with the prospective contractor have been had, council will make a final decision on whether to accept or reject the bid. The town hopes to get the project underway this fall to ensure they can use the nearly $1 million in Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund. The town has also applied for $2.1 million worth of funding through the province's Connecting Links program, as the previous attempt to secure this funding was unsuccessful. The vote to support the motion passed with Coun. Niki Dwyer absent from the meeting. Council unanimously agreed that the town would also engage with the downtown business community to consider the implications of a future project rollout beyond the summer of 2019. Protesters have been outside the town hall for months calling for a public meeting and to maintain angled parking on Beckwith. The new design calls for parallel parking and the installation of bike lanes on the main street. They may soon get their wish for a public meeting. Council discussed the possibility of hosting a public meeting after Brennan brought the issue to the

floor during their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, May 27. "I think that the climate would change dramatically if we would open up a little bit here," he said. Brennan said there are two delegations that have applied to talk to committee since April. He wanted staff to have direction on how to proceed with delegation requests. Since Dunlop presented new information, delegations are permitted pending availability on the agenda, unless council passes a resolution otherwise. At the next committee, council is expected to discuss how delegations will be managed. More discussion on this will be held at committee of the whole on Monday, June 3. Dwyer said that she "wholeheartedly" supports the idea to receive comments and feedback in a consolidated way instead of receiving one-off correspondence items and delegations week after week. "I think we should have done this months ago," she said. Mayor Shawn Pankow acknowledged that the issue of a public meeting is still "simmering out there" and it's something that council needs to address again.

PLANS IN WORKS FOR HOSPICE, INTEGRATED HEALTH FACILITY HERE Continued from page 5

"It's a very unusual project," said McKenna, a Smiths Falls councillor, when he asked the town for a resolution of support back in February. "There are only an example of a couple of them in the province that we're familiar with this." The project will help to coordinate care and provide more efficient health services including immediacy for referrals with organizations that have come together within the integrated facility. "By bringing people together in one space, you're saving visits," said Bellows. "We'll be able to multi-task and be able to co-ordinate care from within our building. The goal for us is to be able to really work together." Planning for what's going to

happen with the proposed integrated health facility and residential hospice has been put on pause since the change in government has meant significant changes to the way that health care is being structured across the province. As such, a location for the hospice and integrated health facility hasn't been decided upon yet. The budget for the project will also depend on provincial funding available. Bellows said there has been a high-level look at what was available in Smiths Falls. The idea had been to locate the hospice and integrated health facility in the same building. The plan is to either a retrofit an existing building or build a new facility from the ground up. How this will end up playing out will depend on the province. "The initial idea was to have

the hospice within the integrated health facility, which would make really good sense," Bellows. A location hasn't been picked out yet and will depend on funding and timing. Though, based on the change in provincial government, it's uncertain whether or not the hospice and integrated health facility will be able to be located in the same building. The hospice beds were approved some time ago, while the funding details for the integrated health facility is still up in the air. Bellows said if the integrated health facility and hospice will be at the same location will depend on whether or not the hospice project can wait on details and funding agreements to become clear for the integrated health facility. Bellows said before the

It’s on the Way Depot Drop-Off Made Easy

change in government, RCHS had gone through the steps for Phase 1 and had the blessing of the Southeast Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), which would have meant a $250,000 in funding for the facility. However, the province has begun the process to dismantle the LHINs. In March, the 14 LHIN boards of director were replaced by a 12-person Ontario Health Agency. Now that the Ford government has passed their budget the RCHS is re-engaging the capital branch and the province's minister of health in connection with the project. "We can't even look at the full scope until funding details are announced," said Bellows.

EYES ON THE ROAD

The arrival of warmer weather brings with it increased traffic on our roads as people hit the highways after a long winter. Canada Road Safety Week is part of our country's broader Road Safety Strategy 2025, which aims to make Canada's roads the safest in the world. So far this year, 58 people have died on Ontario Provincial Police-patrolled roads. Speed, alcohol/drugs, inattentive driving and lack of seatbelt use are linked to almost half (45 per cent) of the deaths. There were 97 road fatalities this time last year, with more than half (53 per cent) of the deaths linked to these same factors. And while police are relieved to see a significant decrease in preventable road fatalities, they caution that poor behaviours on the road can easily tip the scales in the wrong direction. In 2018, more than half of the 332 deaths on OPP-patrolled roads were attributed to speed, alcohol/drugs, inattentive driving and lack of seatbelt use. Canada Road Safety Week is an annual enforcement and education-driven initiative led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. The campaign aims to increase public compliance with safe driving with the specific goals to reduce injuries and save lives on our roads. This week and always, OPP officers were highly visible in their efforts to keep roads safe. According to a police report, OPP officers laid a total of 12,000 traffic charges from May 14-20, more than 10,000 for speeding. There were 226 charges for stunt driving; 525 seatbelt offences, 251 charges for distracted driving and 162 impaired driving charges. While police hope to see motorists take steps to make our roads safer on their own rather than through enforcement, such initiatives are clearly still needed. "Canada Road Safety Week is an effective traffic enforcement initiative, however it is only part of the solution to saving lives. It is important that everyone take responsibility to ensure safety on our roads. Make a commitment to obey speed limits, wear your seatbelt and never drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs, or while distracted," said OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique. Solicitor General Sylvia Jones reminds drivers to have respect while on the road. "Driving is a privilege that requires your full attention when behind the wheel. It takes a conscious effort from all drivers to limit distractions to avoid potential injuries. Violating the 'rules of the road' is a major cause of collisions so we all need to respect the law to ensure road safety. Make driving safely your number 1 priority."

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY BIG NEWS: UBER IS IN LANARK COUNTY Big news. Uber is in Smiths Falls! It is also in Perth and Carleton Place. Uber is a ride-sharing service that works like a taxi, but is much cheaper. In a town with no public transit, and one flat fare for a taxi (no matter how near or far in town you need to go), having Uber could be the answer to Smiths Falls' transportation woes. In town, an Uber estimator tells us that a trip from one end of town to the other is around $8, while shorter distances would be cheaper. Out of town, Uber rides from Smiths Falls to Ottawa average between $55 and $75, while taxi rates for the same trip fall closer to the $150 mark. The socioeconomic impacts of Uber in Smiths Falls could be far-reaching. There are a few neighbourhoods in town that could be classified as "food deserts," which are urban areas where fresh, afford-

able and good quality food is not within walking distance. Most town grocers are on the west end of town, or near town limits. This means anyone without a car on the east end of town must walk long distances, carrying heavy groceries or spend over $11 from their food budget on a taxi to get affordable, healthy food. This hits lower-income households especially hard, and often families may opt for the closer and cheaper unhealthy food sold at stores that aren't primarily aimed at selling groceries. In today's technological world that lends itself to the shared economy, this is unacceptable. Taxi fare for affordable and healthy food should not eat up such a large portion of a family's food bud-

get. Unfortunately, there appears to only be one Uber driver in town right now. This driver, who does not want to be identified due to possible repercussions from the taxi industry, is willing to turn on his Uber app and accept riders at high-use times to help get the ride-sharing app popular in town. Smiths Falls needs more Uber drivers. We are lucky to have at least one dedicated to this and willing to help, but one person can't do it alone. If you have a car and a heartbeat, there is a good chance you can drive for Uber, too. To become a rider or driver, visit Uber.com and follow the onscreen instructions.

LOCAL SALVATION ARMY HELPS WITH OTTAWA FLOOD RELIEF EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com In the depths of the flood waters that swept the Ottawa region this spring, the Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps was there. Major Laurie Reilly, who has a background in emergency disaster services, was sent on deployments into the flood zone in Constance Bay - one of the hardest hit areas - after the City of Ottawa called in Salvation Army to assist victims and first responders. During her first deployment towards the end of April, Reilly, along with other volunteers, served food out of the canteen for flood victims, military personnel, first responders and volunteers. "It was really chaotic," she said. "There were a lot

of people around." In addition to serving food, Reilly went out into the flood zone with police to do wellness checks. "We were wading through the water," she said. "The first time it was a bit overwhelming to see how much water was there and homes were flood." While on patrol, they encountered a woman in a flooded house with extremely high blood pressure who was fighting back the water with pumps. The woman wouldn't leave the house because she was babysitting her friend's birds. Reilly was called to action. After 45 minutes, Reilly was able to make arrangements for the birds to be picked up and convince the woman to leave the house and go to the hospital.

Her efforts scored her the nickname, "the bird negotiator." After the first meeting, Reilly got to go back and check in with the woman. "She's doing a lot better," she said. Weeks into the flooding Reilly said people are getting extremely tired. She's also witnessed people giving up the fight against the relentless water. "They're in better spirits," she said of those who've been battling the flooding. "They're just real-

EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com The Town of Smiths Falls and the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce have signed a new lease agreement with the understanding that Victoria Park Campground will eventually be moving. With the extension of the lease agreement, it’s expected that the town and the chamber are working on a relocation strategy, said Jennifer Miller, the town’s manager of economic development and tourism, on Monday, May 13, during council’s committee of the whole meeting. Miller said she anticipates that an exit strategy will come to fruition by the end of this year. In January, it was announced that the chamber would have two years to move the campground after Parks Canada expressed their desire to remove campgrounds from their waterways. The desire to move the campground is also listed as an

Evelyn Harford/Torstar Victoria Park Campground on the banks of the Rideau Canal in Smiths Falls during the 2019 season. item in the town’s 2014 Strategic Plan. Council passed a bylaw on Tuesday, May 21, to execute a lease agreement with the chamber for two years to ensure they can continue to operate the campground at Victoria Park for the next two years. “I’m glad to see the campers have some surety,” said Coun. Jay Brennan.

For the last 16 years, the chamber has been operating the campground in Victoria Park, which has become a good source of revenue for them. Camping along the Rideau Canal has been enjoyed for nearly 100 years. The land that the campground sits on is leased to the town by Parks Canada and the town sublets the land to the

chamber. The last lease agreement expired in December of last year. The new lease agreement will expire on Oct. 31, 2020. However, there is a renewal clause. If all parties agree — the town, the chamber and Parks — then it is renewable. Miller said that if there is a relocation strategy in place, then Parks is willing to extend the agreement.

WHAT'S ON

SPIRIT OF THE DRUM POWWOW RETURNS Smiths Falls will be alive with Indigenous culture when the town and Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute's Indigenous studies program partners with the Mohawks of Akwesasne First Nations and Algonquins of Pikwa ` kanaga ` n and Kitigan Zibi First Nations to host the third annual Spirit of the Drum Traditional and Educational Powwow. Two full days of activities are planned on Duck Island on Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9, between 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The powwow will feature traditional Indigenous educational teachings, traditional singing, dancing and drumming by host Drum Eagle River from Pikwa ` kanaga ` n First Nation and co-host Drum Bear Nation as well as the Ottawa River Singers and

Kitchissippi Rini. The MC for the weekend will be Greg "Mista Wasis" Dreaver, Mistawasis Nehiyawak, Treaty 6 territory. The Grand Entry ceremony will take place at 12 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, and there will be traditional educational teachings, food and craft vendors on-site both days. SFDCI hospitality students will prepare and serve a grand feast to the First Nations powwow participants on Saturday. The two-day event is free to attend and veterans, Indigenous peoples and the public are welcome. Traditional dancers will be the highlight of the event, and the Head Male and Female Dancers for 2019 are Awema Tendesi from Kitigan Zibi and Josee Bourgeois from Pikwa `kanaga ` n First Nation. "We're thrilled to partner once again with SFDCI and

First Nations representatives and community partners to host this annual event in Smiths Falls," said Jennifer Miller, the town's manager of economic development and tourism. "It's important for the town to recognize Smiths Falls' Indigenous heritage and the First Nations people who make up the community and surrounding area." The event is funded in part by the federal government and was developed by the Indigenous studies program at SFDCI with the objective of educating and sharing First Nations culture with youth and the community in the spirit of reconciliation. At least two educational seminars will be offered to the public during the afternoons, taught by elders/ knowledge keepers on: the four sacred medicines and wampum (treaty) belts (treaties). Timings are yet

to be determined. SFDCI Indigenous studies teachers collectively explained the importance of studying the Indigenous history and honouring Indigenous traditions at ceremonial events like the Spirit of the Drum Powwow. "Reconciliation and youth are important themes for the municipality, to enable Indigenous studies students and Indigenous youth to tell their own story about the history of Canada. Students' projects from the high school will be on display in the Educational Gallery area of Duck Island, along with displays from various colleges who offer Indigenous studies programs." Many students and community residents in the Smiths Falls area share First Nations heritage, and the event will offer Indigenous youth and the public

digenous culture in the Smiths Falls community. SFDCI students have stated the purpose of the powwow "is to bring people together; to connect the school with the community; and to share, teach, and celebrate Indigenous culture and traditions. SFDCI is within the Upper Canada District School Board spanning the traditional territories of the Algonquin and the Mohawk Nations." The event takes place on Duck Island in the middle of the Rideau Canal and Rideau River in downtown Smiths Falls. Free parking will be available in the RCAF parking lot off Abbott Street, at the Detached Lock, or at the Park Avenue beach area.

T2 FINISH FOR HENDERSON LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Brooke Henderson ended with a birdie putt Sunday at the Pure Silk Championship at Williamsburg, Va., to finish two back of the winner, Bronte Law from England. It was the first LPGA Tour victory for Law, a 20year-old Englishwoman. For Henderson, a bogeyfree final round was a good indication of things to

come, she said. “To shoot three under on a Sunday and be that close to the leaderboard and know that you left some out there is a good thing,” she told LPGA.com following the tournament. “So definitely just looking forward to the rest of the summer. “I think this was a good way to lead into the U.S. Open next week.” Madelene Sagstrom, Henderson and thirdround co-leader Nasa Ha-

taoka all tied for second. Sagstrom shot 66, Henderson 68 and Hataoka 69. Shaw earned a US$195,000 payday, while the second-place finish netted Henderson, Sagstrom and Hataoka $90,853 each. Henderson had rounds of 66-71-64-68. This weekend’s major is the US Women’s Open in Charleston, S.C. It kicks off May 30 and wraps up June 2. Ariya Jutanugarn is the defending champion.

EVERY SPRING WOULD BRING NEW LIFE TO MOTHER LONG, DREARY WINTERS WERE ALWAYS DIFFICULT DURING 1930S, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

The ditches had dried up. The fields were ready to plant. Each day I could feel the warmth of spring all around us. With the coming of the longer, sunny days, Mother became a different person. All winter, it was like someone had pulled a windowblind over her face, only occasionally letting in a bit of light. For the most part when the days and nights were

dark and dreary, it was like Mother was waiting for something good to happen. And then the winter was over, and spring was here at last. Audrey and I were sitting alone on the swing in the grape arbour. Buds were just starting to come out, and soon there would be enough leaf-cover to make a haven for us outside where we could eat a meal and get away from the hot sun, or the steaming kitchen. I could hear Mother, through the opened window, singing a wordless tune, and the sounds of pots scraping on the Findlay Oval, and dishes against dishes. A feeling of complete contentment settled over me, but I wondered about Mother's change at the end of winter and the coming of spring. I asked Audrey if she, so much older and so much wiser than I, noticed it too, or

was it just my imagination. My sister paused for a few minutes, as she gathered her thoughts. "It's in the wintertime she misses New York the most," she said. Much of her answer escaped me ... much beyond the reasoning of a five or sixyear-old. But I listened anyway. "She feels shut out from the rest of the world out here in Northcote, because the car is in the drive shed up on blocks, it's a long, cold trip into Renfrew in the cutter, so she only goes in on Saturdays to deliver her eggs." She paused again, and I thought that was the end of it. But she went on. "Did you ever notice how she reads and rereads that Philadelphia Inquirer paper that comes in the mail? Well, that connects her with everything going on in the place she left to come to live here in

WHiSPerinG PineS SCout CAmP Whispering Pines Scout Camp and Valley Highlands Area would like to thank the following sponsors whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very generous donations have allowed camping adventures year round to local Scout Groups throughout the Valley Highlands Area.

Northcote. She gets lonesome for her friend Rosie, and I think she feels trapped in the winter ... looking out at so much snow, and she worries about fire burning the house down, and her relatives in Ottawa who can't come out to visit. So, you see, Mary, winter isn't the best time for our Mother." I felt the utmost contentment knowing that winter was behind us, and that Mother would once again be her happy and contented self. Her seeds had come from her order to the SteeleBriggs catalogue, and were

starting to sprout in the little square boxes on a table beside the back door. The rolled-up braided rug had been removed from the parlour door where it had been since the first blasts of winter, and we could now sit on the horsehair settee and look at picture albums or read. Soon the spring housecleaning would begin ... the kitchen curtains washed and starched, and the braided rugs hung on the fence outside and beaten with the broom and rolled up for the summer. The sun had risen overhead and was beating

down through the vines of the grape arbour, and I could feel myself dozing off, leaning against my sister. And I was overcome with a feeling of joy and contentment. Mother was back ... everything was right in my world. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

The annual festival promoting environmental awareness, healthy active living, culture and heritage — and, most of all, paddling — takes place in Lower Reach Park on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is one event that families will not want to miss. Plenty of fun, food and learning opportunities at the many exhibits are available for all. Always a highlight are the canoe races: the 200 metre in the morning and the 500 m in the afternoon. And this year there’s an additional cultural event. Taking place at noon is a presentation of two original 15-minute vignettes depicting a youth perspective on the cultural heri-

tage of the building of the Rideau Canal. Directed by Lynda Daniluk, Reminiscing on the Rideau Canal, written by Joy Forbes and Brigit Saves the Day, written by Sandy Bradley, showcase the acting talents of two remarkable casts of local young and older performers. In addition, the Smiths Falls Shout Sisters Choir and the Rideau Voyageurs, a male a cappella group, round out the hour’s entertainment. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and watch the show, which will be performed on the park trailer stage. Paddlefest also features a photo contest for three categories of contestants: kids Grades 3-6, teens Grades 7-12 and adults. Participants are free to

choose their image themes, from Canoe Race Action, Heritage and Culture and Festival Fun. Prizes are available to be won by photographers who must take their shots during Paddlefest and submit by June 8. A VIP Voyageur Canoe Tug-ofWar follows soon after the stage performance, offering yet another chance to get a great photo. Plenty to do for a great day nearly in your own backyard. Keep the date open; if you are a paddler (or you want to be), why not put a team together and join the voyageur canoe race? If you aren’t a paddler, come for the education and the fun activities.

Marina passed away peacefully in hospital, Smiths Falls, on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at the age of 83. Beloved wife of the late Harold E. Healey, much loved mother of Larry Healey (Michele Despreaux) and LeeAnne Scott (Jeremy). Sadly missed by grandchildren Benjamin and Nicholas Healey and her best friend, Doodle. Predeceased by her parents, Robert and Margaret Atchison, and her brother Gordon Atchison. Fondly remembered by her extended family and many friends. Mrs. Healey to some, Marina to many and Minnie to most, Mom left behind a laugh and a smile wherever she went. She would talk to anyone about anything and had a joke or story for all who would listen. In the driver’s seat with her nose to the windshield, she happily toured her regular route: Ottawa for ham, Manotick for tomatoes, Merrickville for treasures, Balderson for curd, Almonte for toys, Pakenham for bread, Brockville for buttercream, Westport for pajamas and Smiths Falls for Dairy Queen. Her Christmas came in June when strawberries were ripe. A VIP at Tincap, she never missed a season and never lost a berry off the basket on the car ride home. Jam and jelly; cakes, cookies and pie were her specialty and to her it all tasted better when she had a friend to feed. When she wasn’t looking for her keys, bank card, purse or glasses she was merrily tending to her yard. She made it into a wonderland of plants and flowers, toys in trees and solar lights on every surface. If it sang, danced or lit up she bought it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Above all else she loved her family, her friends and at the top of her list sat her constant companion and confidant, Doodle. With sincere appreciation and admiration, we thank the staff and residents of Van Horne Manor for their care and friendship. To the nurses, doctors and support staff at the Smiths Falls Hospital - the loving care you provided Mom in her final days was second to none and will never be forgotten. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls, Thursday, May 30, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Francis de Sales Church, Smiths Falls, Friday, May 31, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Interment, St. Francis de Sales Cemetery.

Allen

John euart

John Euart Allen born in Ottawa on 19 March 1930. Predeceased by his parents Marian McElhinney and Charles Allen, sister Patricia Allen, wife Agnes Allen (Bolton) and close friend Jaki Harrison. Sadly, missed by daughter Debi Allen Moore, son Chris Allen, former sonin-law Steve Moore, proud Grampa to Jessy Moore and Garrett Moore. John will be remembered for his contribution to the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing - the first of it’s kind in Canada and for the love of his cottage at Bennett Lake, especially the sunsets, where he and Mom made so many happy memories with the Bovas, Delmans, Nilssons and Boltons. Heartfelt thanks to all of Dad’s doctors and amazing nurses especially during his stay in hospital on the ACE unit and Chronic Care at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. Very special thank you to Dad’s caregivers particularly Adeline, Gail and Sylvia who were most compassionate and caring during such challenging circumstances. Mom and the Bennett Lake clan are waiting for you to join them in the olive pit-spitting contest from the deck at the cottage. A Memorial Reception will be held at the Pinecrest Visitation Centre, 2500 Baseline Road, Ottawa on Monday, June 3, 2019 from 2 to 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to Alzheimer’s Society Research and Prostate Cancer Research would be very much appreciated.

DEATH NOTICE

LYLE GIBSON March 11, 1928-May 30, 2018 The angels gathered near your side, So very close to you, For they knew the pain and suffering, That you were going through. We thought about so many things, As we held tightly to your hand, Oh how we wished you were strong again. But Jesus knew the answer, And knew you loved him, So we gave to you life’s greatest gift, The gift of letting go. Shirley, Shelly and Pete John and Connie Shane and Sierra Quinton and Betsy Reagan and Fox

CRAIG, SHIRLEY ANN June 4/1949-May 3/2017 In loving memory of “my young bride” and mother to our daughters. Until we meet again. Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again, Just like we used to do, You always meant so much, And always will do too. The fact that you’re no longer here, Will always cause me pain, But you’re forever in my heart, Until we meet again… Miss you every day Daryl, Angela and Tracy

SMITHS FALLS CLASSIC TRIATHLON CELEBRATES 40TH ANNIVERSARY CANADA'S LONGEST RUNNING TRIATHLON RETURNS TO SMITHS FALLS JUNE 22 It all started in Smiths Falls 40 years ago when the first triathlon was held along the banks of the historic Rideau Canal. On June 22, the town will once again welcome hundreds of participants to the Smiths Falls Classic Triathlon, where participants can challenge themselves by running, cycling and swimming the scenic course through the community. After four decades, the longest continuously running triathlon in Canada the Smiths Falls Classic Triathlon - has proven it has staying power and shows no signs of ending any time soon. Smiths Falls has historically been a hub for innovation and progressive thinking, so it's no surprise that the community was one of the early adopters of this competitive swim/cycle/run race. "You can still see this kind of progressiveness in the community today," said Jennifer Miller, the town's manager of economic development and tourism. "Our community has a his-

tory of embracing new ideas, the triathlon is yet another example of this. We're happy to once again be part of this historic event." Ian Fraser, a partner with Somersault Events, the group that has been organizing the Smiths Falls race for the past 25 years, explained that over the years the number of participants for the event has varied, mirroring the ups and downs of Smiths Falls' economy. "There's a bunch of things that impact numbers for the event, and it really ebbs and flows, some years we've had as many as 1,000 participants, while others it's down in the 200 range," he said. "This year we're expecting higher numbers than normal." With something for everyone, the Smiths Falls Classic Triathlon offers three different options for triathlon competitors, suitable for varying ability levels. The Sprint Triathlon and Relay will feature a 500-metre swim, 21-kilometre cycle and five-kilo-

metre run; the Super Sprint Triathlon will feature a 200-metre swim, 21kilometre cycle and five-kilometre run; and the Try-aTri is perfect for beginning triathletes, offering a 200metre swim, 21-kilometre cycle, and 2.1-kilometre run. The triathlon also features two duathlon swim/ cycle events, a Sprint Duathlon featuring a 2.1-kilometre run, 21-kilometre cycle followed by a five-kilometre run while the Sprint Swim/Cycle features a 500-metre swim and 21-kilometre cycle. A twokilometre kids run for children 11 years and younger is also available for young athletes interested in getting started in racing. "The course in Smiths Falls has a lot to offer for this race, it's a really beautiful course," Fraser said. "The swim portion takes place in the Rideau River at Lower Reach Park, just above the locks, and it's very scenic." The two-kilometre run is held at Lower Reach Park, along the waterside trail, while the five-kilometre run includes Lower Reach Park but then loops up Beckwith Street South into the downtown, before

start. This eliminates the early morning that typically accompanies an event like this and offers a much more pleasant temperature range as well, he said. With this year marking the 40th year for the event, Fraser is expecting a good turnout to the Smiths Falls triathlon and said he's hopeful and optimistic about the future of this long-running event, and a return of the record numbers experienced in past

years. "I'm confident we'll be talking about the 50th anniversary in a decade," Fraser said. Registration for the Smiths Falls Classic Triathlon ends at 6 p.m. on June 16. Registrations can be made through the Somersault website at www.somersault.ca/ triathlon/smiths-falls. Submitted by the Town of Smiths Falls

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

To the editor: The Record News has been very good to us by informing the public of our Red Dress Project, by helping us to never forget the lost lives of our Indigenous women and girls. Thank you to Laurie Weir for making sure our event on May 5 was covered, and to Desmond Devoy for attending, and for doing such a great job covering it. Special thanks is also extended to Lake 88.1 radio for advertising the event; Francine Desjardines and the Lanark Drum Circle members (Dave Rouleau, Sean Richardson, Lise Leclair, Debbie Lytle and Nicole Harden) for your beautiful songs, and to Dave for smudging as a form of prayer. Thanks to Trinity United taking part in the ceremony by hanging a red dress in the church; Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow and town councillors are acknowledged for wearing red to work on Monday, May 6, and for hanging red dresses in the trees in front of town hall: My friends for bringing food to feed those who came to the ceremony. It was delicious; and the public for hanging red dresses from their homes. It's very important to get the message out there. Maybe together we can bring some of those women and girls home to their families. Last but not least, thank you to my husband, Michael. Without your help, I couldn't have done this. Thank you and I love you. Sincerely,
