RELAY FOR LIFE TOPS $10,000 FOR CANCER SOCIETY IT SEEMS EVERYWHERE YOU TURN, THERE IS SOMEONE AFFECTED BY CANCER EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Though we all know someone who's been impacted by the disease, we don't often know the intimate details of what it actually means to battle cancer. Local woman and survivor speaker, Krista Wills, brought her breast cancer story to Smiths Falls' Relay for Life - the first student-led event at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, which raised $10,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society on Friday, June 7.

"Facing cancer is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life," she said. Wills was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago at age 43. At that point in the year, her daughter's prom and graduation was a month away; exams were coming for both of her kids. "The day that I was diagnosed our focus shifted," she said. Wills said one of the toughest parts of her was telling those she loved the most that she had cancer. "I watched in a moment how it stole the joy and exciting moments from events in our lives," she said. "I watched it rob our family of what our normal life had been." Once Wills got her cancer diagnosis, things moved quickly. See RELAY, page 2

RELAY FOR LIFE NETS $10K FOR CANCER RESEARCH Continued from page 1

Her first surgery was within two weeks of being diagnosed. They hoped that would get all the cancer, but it didn't. A second surgery was needed, and the following day was her daughter Cayla's prom. Wills got home just in time to take a few photos with her daughter and see her off. Weeks later it, Wills learned she would have to go through chemotherapy. "As I progressed with my chemotherapy treatment, each round was more difficult and I got weaker and weaker," she said. "There were times when I would try to get out of bed and I would pass out." Wills recalled when her hair fell out - something she thought wouldn't bother her. "On my birthday of all days, cancer gave me a pre-

sent. That night my hair fell out," she said. "One minute it was there, and the next minute it was just falling out like rain. It was annoying, it was awful, and it got in my eyes, up my nose and in my mouth and it was in my clothing and in the bed and literally it was just everywhere." After chemo, Wills started radiation. Most people get a six-week break between treatments, but because her cancer was so aggressive her doctor thought she'd have better odds of survival if she went into radiation, which would prove to be extremely exhausting and hard on her body. After completing radiation, Wills was on maintenance and taking medication, which tries to prevent cancer from growing back, daily for the next five years. Though Wills is finished

Evelyn Harford/Torstar Those who have battled cancer walked in the survivor lap around the track at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute on Friday, June 7, 2019, as part of the first student-led Relay for Life held at the school. with treatment, she's not completely out of the woods. With cancer, you no longer hear the words healed, cured or remission. The new wording is NED, which stands for no evidence of disease. "I have not yet heard those words," said Wills. With her type of cancer, a person has to go five

years with no re-occurrence before doctors will say that you have no evidence of disease. Throughout her battle with cancer, Wills relied on the support around her: her family, her friends and her faith. As she learned about her own inner strength by overcoming fears throughout her can-

cer journey. Wills' hopes and dreams for the future became clearer and she was reminded of the love standing right before her. "I was reminded that I have children that I want to see graduate from high school and from university. I want to see them get married some day and have children," she said. "My

husband has proven that he has meant every single word he said in his vows when we got married 22 years ago. His love and compassion and care for me through my journey has been amazing. He is my hero." Through Wills journey, she said she made a very conscious decision about how they would face her cancer diagnoses and treatments. "I chose to find the joy in the journey," she said. "Yes, I had hard days when I couldn't even get out of bed. But on the days when I could get out of bed you would find me here at my daughter's graduation, you would find me at her movein day at university, you would find me at (son) Bryce's basketball games, you would find me at any school event that he was involved in. I would be at weddings, barbecues, basically whatever my family had going on. I wanted to be a part of it if I could - bald head and all."

Dave Henderson was on the 18th green to congratulate and embrace his daughters, Brooke and Brittany, today as Brooke made Canadian golf history with the Meijer LPGA Classic championship for Simply Give in Grand Rapids, MI. When asked when she knew she was going to win this championship at 21under par after a 2-under 70, she said she didn't really know all day. "I was just trying to make some more birdies out there and I seemed to be rubbing edges all day and then I looked at the leaderboard, it was really cramming up, getting packed." She said after she heard the roar of the crowd after Lexi Thomp-

son sunk an eagle putt on the 18th to come within one, Henderson said she thought she'd need at least a birdie or an eagle putt to win it. "I was sort of surprised when all I needed was a par to win," she said, which she sunk. "I'm glad that's it because I was really shaking on those couple putts out there." This is Henderson's third win on Father's Day, she said, as she fist bumped her dad saying, "I need more of those." She said she was so grateful for everything her father and mother, Darlene, have done for her and her sister/caddie Brittany. "It really is a family event," she said. "I'm so happy and really grateful, and I just want to wish everyone a Happy Father's Day."

HEALTH UNIT SEES HIGHEST NUMBER OF NEW LYME CASES IN PROVINCE EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark region, along with the Kingston area, top the province's list in the number of new Lyme disease cases, which has been the situation for the last several years, according to the Leeds Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit. Between 2010 and 2018 there have been 582 confirmed and probable cases of Lyme disease in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, according to data retrieved from the Integrated Public Health Information System (iPHIS) published on the health unit's website. While case counts decreased between 2017 and 2018, the health unit says the data still suggests a continuing upward trend from 2010. In 2015, there were 72 cases of confirmed and probable Lyme reported in the region; in 2016, 52; in 2017, 219, and in 2018, 97. Those numbers are up from the 11 confirmed and probable Lyme cases reported in the region in 2010.

The majority of Lyme cases in 2018 were reported in June. Some municipalities saw more confirmed diagnoses than others. Last year, nearly 16 per cent of the cases came from Tay Valley, the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands accounted for 12.4 per cent of cases and Rideau Lakes 9.3 per cent. Nearly 19 per cent of cases did not have a usable address linked to them. Why has the region has seen an uptick in the tick-borne disease? Well, there appears to be a perfect storm of factors at play. The health unit reports that it is because the region is on the flight path of birds flying from the northeastern United States to Canada. Susan Healey, the health unit's communications co-ordinator, explains that the birds pick up infected ticks from the northeastern United States and then the ticks fall off on this side of the St. Lawrence. She said this is how the bacteria that causes Lyme disease was brought to the region around 2008. Today, birds contin-

ue to spread ticks throughout the region. The region is also home to an abundance of white-footed mice who are the reservoir for the bacteria. The larva (the first tick stage) take a blood meal from the mouse and become infected. Our region is also home to moist, marshy areas and many deciduous trees that create a leafy undergrowth protecting the eggs and the ticks from becoming dehydrated (they need moisture to live) and allowing them to survive over winter. The winter months are also milder, so more ticks can survive through the winter. The region is also home to lots of deer - the preferred blood meal for the adult female in the fall before she lays her eggs.

Desmond Devoy/Torstar Ramsey Hart, executive director of The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, gives a tour of the food bank downstairs to a visiting delegation from The Great Veggie Grow-Off, on May 29.

THE ISSUE: FOOD INSECURITY IN LANARK COUNTY LOCAL IMPACT: THE SIXTH ANNUAL GREAT VEGGIE GROW-OFF KICKED OFF IN PERTH ON MAY 29, WHERE VEGETABLES ARE GROWN FOR LOCAL FOOD BANKS ports, "we have only 48 hours of food on our shelves before we go hungry." That is why it was important that "we grow food for our local food banks. We are filling a gap that none of our governments ever addressed."

THE TABLE TOUR The Table moved to its current location, the home of an old church, in 2011, and soon after changed its direction, from just being a food bank to "addressing

food insecurity in a more holistic way," said executive director Ramsey Hart at the start of the tour. It is now a part of Community Food Centres Canada network, and is a place where clients get some help through an advocacy office, they can also get relief on their hydro bills, and learn how to cook at the same time, as well as take part three times a week in community meals. Those meals are also meant to welcome in people who "may otherwise be eating alone," said Hart. There are no questions at the meals: "People sit down and we feed them. It's that easy." The Table has more than 150 volunteers, and Hart told his guests from around the county that "some food banks don't let their clients volunteer (with them). I'm at a loss to explain why," he said, since there are many of his clients who also volunteer at the Gore Street facility. He led the tour into the food bank, located in the See COUNTY, page 9

Trowels at the ready, seeds at hand, and let's get ready to garden! Renowned gardener Ed Lawrence was on hand at The Table Community Food Centre in Perth on Wednesday, May 29, for the campaign kickoff for the "Great Veggie Grow Off," in which Lanark County communities square off to see which one can grow the most fresh produce for local food programs like food banks. Standing in the garden behind The Table, Lawrence commended the good work done by the organization. "Having to do what we do with food banks, with what you're doing here, I mean, it's all marvellous ... but the fact that we have to, it discourages me," said Lawrence, the head gardener at Rideau Hall, and a regular star guest on CBC Radio One's "Ontario Today," program. "We have hungry kids, in a country, in a province, that is as wealthy as ours, that is a heartbreaker. But you're doing a heck of a job. Thank you so much." He added that, "sharing, it is a blessing. I'm more than glad to participate." For Glennis Harwig, of the Neighbourhood Tomato Community Garden in Almonte, the "Veggie Cup" may be a silly prize that has proven to be a great incentive, not only for friendly competition, but it has a very serious side as well. "Tonight, a third of the world goes to bed hungry," she said. In Canada, if the Americans were to ever block our roads and sea-

8 HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BUILDINGS ADDED TO PROPERTIES OF INTEREST REGISTRY EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Eight historically significant properties in Smiths Falls are receiving an added layer of protection. They'll be added to the properties of interest registry after the municipal heritage committee advocated for their protection before council last summer. Council agreed to pass a resolution to add the Washburn Block (2-28 Beckwith St.), J.M. Clark Hardware Store (1 Beckwith St. S.), Alexander Clark House (7 Main St. E.), Rideau Theatre Building (1 Chambers St.), Matthew Ryan House (102 Brockville St.), Adam Foster House (84 Brockville St.), John B. Ward House (110 Brockville St.) and the Simpson House (81 Brockville St.) to the registry on Monday, June 3. The Properties of Interest Registry was established in March 2014 under

the Ontario Heritage Act. According to the town report presented on June 3, nine properties in town are already listed on the registry. Coun. Lorraine Allen, who's on the municipal heritage committee, was happy to see more protection being given for significant properties in town. "There are so many amazing stories connecting these buildings that we need to cherish," she said. While adding a property to the Properties of Interest Registry doesn't designate it under the Ontario Heritage Act, it does provide a sober second thought in the event that a demolition permit is submitted. If a building is registered, it permits a period of 60 days to allow for discussion between the town and the owner to review the heritage potential and options that may allow for the property's preservation.

to be added to the registry, the municipal heritage committee contacted the property owners to inform them of the intention to list their property on the prop-

listing homes on the properties of interest registry, even though it's currently not a requirement to do so. Further movement to designate a property under the Ontario Heritage Act requires consultation with the property owner, public notification and an opportunity for appeal, if necessary. Coun. Chris McGuire, who also sits on the municipal heritage committee, said that putting the properties on the registry is a great first step but doesn't celebrate the buildings to the full potential that the Ontario Heritage Act allows. He hopes the municipal heritage committee can work to get some of the homeowners on board to pursue designation over the next few months. "As a council, I think we have a long way to go to celebrate our built heritage in Smiths Falls."

WE HAVE CLOSE CONNECTION TO RAPTORS WIN As basketball fans across the country watched the Toronto Raptors make history with the first NBA championship win by a Canadian team June 13, it was doubly sweet for our neck of the woods. The sport experienced a boost in popularity and nowhere was it felt more than in Almonte, which boasts the birthplace of the inventor of basketball, James Naismith. Local, national and international media descended upon the town, who experienced more than their 15 minutes of fame, capitalizing on the chance to highlight one of their most famous sons. The community celebrated in its own way with a series of four viewing parties where residents were invited to watch the finals on the big screen. It showed Canadians and the world just how much community and basketball pride Almonte has. What a great sight to see the Almonte Old Town Hall parking lot filled with fans armed with lawn chairs and youth shooting some hoops while the Naismith Basketball Association engaged with visitors about Naismith. Kudos to the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, the volunteers and businesses involved in the organization of those parties. Naismith Basketball Association's Kimberly O'Connell brought the idea for the viewing parties to the municipality and indicated the association is "just so ecstatic to see everyone as happy about basketball and proud of our hometown." We assume everyone knows Canadian Naismith invented basketball in 1891, as anyone from around this area has either heard the story, visited the Dr. James Naismith Museum at the Mill of Kintail, or has participated in the Naismith association's 3-on-3 festival. But not everyone does. The Raptors playoff journey offered a great opportunity to tell that amazing story and shows just how proud Almonte is of the sport's inventor and the impact his contributions have had around the world. If you haven't been to the Naismith museum, it's worth a trip. Not only will you get to learn interesting facts about the man, including how a game he played in his childhood, "Duck on a Rock," ended up as inspiration for inventing basketball, but the museum shares space with the Robert Tait McKenzie collection, another famous Almonte native, and the two were boyhood friends. Not to mention there's a chance to explore the beauty of the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area. This spotlight on the sport is introducing new generations to the story of its history, which brings a new appreciation for Naismith, his humble beginnings and a love of the game. And that's just what Naismith would have wanted.

WHO WE ARE

WE THE NORTH ... ARE HEADING EAST ON VACATION LAURIE WEIR CELEBRATES ALL THINGS SPORTS, WHILE PACKING FOR NEWFOUNDLAND LAURIE WEIR Column

What a win for our Toronto Raptors over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, June 13. It was 6ix in 6ix, (appropriate) and the first time in Raptors' history to hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy. Every Canadian from coast to coast celebrated basketball - not hockey - and this milestone victory. Impressive were Kawhi Leonard who was named the series' MVP, and his mates, Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam, who each had 26 points in the 114-110 championship win. The Warriors were looking for a threepeat, and their fourth title in five years - not this time. I'm also enjoying Brooke

Henderson's victory. The young Smiths Falls native earned her ninth career win on the LPGA Tour, eclipsing the most wins by Canadian golfers Sandra Post, Mike Weir and George Knudson. She won the Meijer LPGA Classic with her mom and dad, Dave and Darlene Henderson, right by her and Brittany's sides. Pretty classic for Father's Day. While basking in the sports glow of the week, I'm packing to head to Newfoundland. Sweet Baby's siblings are anticipating our arrival and have already started baking and planning family suppers (I say dinners, and I was quickly schooled on that last year in Labrador). There are two sisters and a brother to meet. I've rented a car and anticipate seeing whales, breathtaking

icebergs of Atlantic Canada, and so much coastal beauty I will need to pack nothing but memory cards. It's a bucket-list trip, one where I will take part in a screech-in. This is a tradition in Newfoundland for visitors (mainlanders) to hit a pub in St. John's, recite a short verse, down a shot of screech (very strong rum), and then kiss a cod fish. I can't make this stuff up. "You have to take her trout fishing," says one sister from Labrador. "There will be so much for her to take pictures of she won't know where to start ... and she couldn't understand us, wait until she gets to Newfoundland!" I know I won't be gutfounded when I leave. Just stay where you're to, gang, til we comes where you're at. Special thanks to our home team for taking care of our kids and the condo while we're away.

basement, and admitted that accessing a food bank "is something that most people never want to do in their lifetime." There is no limit on fresh produce at The Table's Good Food Bank, with staff simply asking: "What do you feel you can use? Please take it home with you." At his facility, there is "a strong emphasis on healthy staples." The Table's "largest customer group is 50-plus," and "single parents would be the next largest cohort." Even with all of these initiatives, "none of them are addressing food insecurity," said Hart. For him, addressing income inequality "could alleviate poverty and food insecurity." The tour ended at The Table's community gardens at Last Duel Park, where staff garden co-ordinator Joanna Kowalczyk showed off the different plants and plots that volunteers were busy cultivating the late afternoon sunshine - as Ed Lawrence leaned down, picked up some vegetation, held it to his nose.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

The Table Community Food Centre hosted the launch of the Great Veggie Grow-Off, a friendly competition between Lanark County municipalities to see which one could grow the most fresh produce for the county's food banks. While lighthearted, we wanted to look into this competition and why it is necessary, as it underlines food insecurity gaps in the county.

More than 40 jobs have been lost in the latest round of layoffs at Metroland in Smiths Falls, as the distribution centre in town ceases operations. In all, 41 mailroom staff lost their jobs. Fourteen full-time, 10 part-time and 17 casual positions have been affected, confirmed Bob Hepburn, Torstar's director of communication, on Tuesday, June 11. In addition to those positions, eight other jobs in production, finance, classifieds and ad services have also been cut. Hepburn said the layoffs are part of a cost-saving measure. The move comes as Torstar is consolidating work at their east region distribution facilities, which includes the distribu-

tion centre in Smiths Falls. These layoffs come after 79 Metroland Media employees in its Smiths Falls printing plant and distribution centre were laid off last January. Although operations have shut down at the distribution centre located at 80 Lorne St., the building will remain under the company's ownership. Hepburn confirms that there are no plans to close the printing operations in Smiths Falls and that the papers produced out of the Smiths Falls office will continue as normal. Metroland Media's Ottawa Valley papers, including the Smiths Falls Record News, Perth Courier, Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette, Kemptville Advance, Arnprior Chronicle-Guide and Renfrew Mercury will remain open and committed to informing their communities. Performance Printing also remains in operation and continues to serve the needs of its many print clients.

TORCH RUN RAISES MORE THAN $13,000 FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Cons. Sean Keogan loves that kids in Smiths Falls not only know who the police chief is, but that they are comfortable enough with him to give him a hug. For the Smiths Falls Police Service officer, coming from a former life as an OC Transpo special constable for more than nine years, the difference between the big city in Ottawa and small town policing is very evident. "The community feel is unbelievable," he said, looking around the parking lot of the Settlers Ridge Centre on Saturday, June 8, before the start of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. "We have the ability to be out and in the community. People know us by name ... In a

bigger force, you have to be specialized to get that." The community certainly came together, in spades, raising more than $13,000 from road "tolls" throughout Smiths Falls earlier in the week. Keogan was not alone in appearing in uniform in a vehicle - although the Blue Knights motorcycle club, who took part in the torch relay, were wearing leather rather than police-issue dark blue. The local Ontario chapter number 17 is made up of current and former law enforcement members from the Ottawa Valley and the 1,000 Islands regions. "We're family," said Blue Knight Bill Ayyad. "It's a really good time," taking part in events like the torch relay and the Ride for Dad, and other related events. Keogan's brother officer, Sgt. Paul Klassen, noted that this is the 50th anni-

versary for the torch relay overall, with 32 of those years in Ontario, and 31 of them in Smiths Falls, showing just how much "policing has adopted Special Olympics as our charity of choice." Klassen got involved in the relay about 29 years ago, and "I got hooked right away. I can't see a time where the torch relay won't be a part of my life." Klassen echoed Keogan's sentiments about small town policing, delighting in the high fives and hugs he got from Special Olympics athletes in town. "It's impossible not to have your day made," by these athletes, he said. One of the special partnerships that the Smiths Falls force made back when it started participating in the torch relay was with the Peterborough Police Service, which he called "a very special

Andrew Burdett was welcomed to the microphone to make the announcement about all of the money raised from the toll at the Cornelia Street underpass.

The toll, set up from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the day before set a record of $13,300. "It's the most that we've ever seen," said Klassen, who noticed that there were "a lot of bills," going into the buckets. The athletes on hand

It was a moment of reflection for Adrianna Foster on June 9, as she and her family and friends recognized Foster's heart donor during a special service at the Newboro United Church. "A tree was planted to honour my donor and their family's decision," Foster said on the Adrianna's Army Facebook page. Foster recently received a second heart transplant in April, after suffering ill health almost two years ago, when she was put on the transplant list once

again. This was her second in nearly 20 years - she's just 21. "I am truly grateful to all of those who helped put this ceremony together and made it impactful as it was," she said, as she thanked those who took time to honour her donor. "It means a lot to me as my donor is now a part of me, and I choose to always honour and respect the decision that was made at such a hard time. Both of my organ donors and their families are my heroes." Now at nine weeks posttransplant, Foster said she wouldn't have been able to attend the special church

INAUGURAL RISE YOGA AND WELLNESS FESTIVAL SHOWCASES LOCAL PROFESSIONALS PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Smiths Falls' first Rise Yoga and Wellness Festival contended with some trying weather on Saturday, June 15, but that didn't keep people away from the free, family-friendly event. Organizer Becky Allen with the Town of Smiths Falls says the town decided to hold the event in Centennial Park. "We were trying to think of what the town didn't have, and what the county didn't have, when we thought of putting on a yoga festival," she said. "We

put a great organizing committee together of young professionals from local yoga studios and wellnessfocused businesses." She described the new event as a yoga festival with an educational angle on movement and mobility. Its name is a clear nod to the town's slogan, Rise at the Falls. "Aside from the challenging weather with the rain and the wind (Saturday), everything (was) wonderful," said Allen. "We (had) a great mix of professionals here and it (was) a great day." The event featured a va-

riety of vendors offering wellness products from essential oils to CBD bath bombs, yoga demonstrations, educational workshops and more. Following the event, Allen said it was a tremendous success for the first year. "Everyone who came loved it, and stayed for a long time," Allen said. "We had a wellness focused event on the waterfront and it definitely attracted people from outside Smiths Falls, as one of the key points. They were coming from as far as Ottawa, Brockville, Kemptville, Perth and Kingston to participate." As far as downtown businesses were concerned, places like C'est Tout Bakery and Café Whim were packed all day long, Allen said. "We set out to accomplish awareness of our beautiful waterfront and our beautiful park, and that happened," she said. – with files from Laurie Weir

LANARK VET CLINIC BRINGS VETERINARY EXCELLENCE TO SMITHS FALLS THIS STORY IS PART OF THE TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS' BUSINESS RECRUITMENT AND EXPANSION MEDIA SERIES Following participation in the Lanark County Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) Survey in 2018, the Town of Smiths Falls is launching a series of profiles to highlight the businesses who took part in the survey. This series will celebrate the successes of local businesses doing amazing things and contributing to the growth and prosperity of the region; they are prime examples of BR+E done right. Providing high quality

care is a passion for Lanark Veterinary Clinic owners Dr. Haerishton Lima and his wife Vera. It's a passion that has translated across all aspects of their small business. Located in Smiths Falls, the Lanark Veterinary Clinic is taking veterinary care to the next level, providing Smiths Falls and area clients with veterinary excellence and cuttingedge technologies in a rural environment. The clinic itself has been located in Smiths Falls for more than 20 years, but has been owned and operated for the past four years by the Limas. Originally from Brazil, Haerishton worked with the clinic's previous owner, Dr. Kevin Bacon, since 2006 and officially took over the clinic in 2015. The Lanark Veterinary Clinic sees more than 4,000 patients each year. The Li-

mas have prioritized providing their clients with a diversified range of services, and with staying current with new technologies and education. The clinic's success on this front hasn't gone unrecognized; the clinic has attained the highest standard of veterinary excellence available, the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) certification - one of only seven clinics to receive this designation in the Ottawa area. "Being AAHA-licensed means that our clients receive the highest level of care right here at home, a level that some would attribute to big Ottawa and urban clinics," said Vera, thehospital administrator. "Our staff are constantly updating their education and we are always looking for new technologies that will improve our services." At the heart of the clin-

The Township has engaged an independent engineering firm, JP2G, to: • review the current Otter and Bass Lake outlets, • determine the range of technical options available to address stakeholder concerns; • conduct inclusive and informed public consultation; and • determine a preferred option for changes to the outlets, if any. The consultation program provides many ways for interested parties to become involved: • You can complete an online feedback survey here: o Otter Lake: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SMH3XBZ; o Bass Lake: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SNXYLM3; o paper copies available by contacting stephena@jp2g.com; • You can review past Township reports, resolutions and correspondence related to the topics here: http://www.twprideaulakes.on.ca/news-events/notices; • Public/Town-Hall meetings will be held. o Bass Lake: Saturday June 22, starting at 8:30am located at the South Elmsley Municipal Complex at 441 Highway 15; o Otter Lake: Saturday June 22, starting at 10:30am located at the South Elmsley Municipal Complex at 441 Highway 15; • At the public meeting JP2G will provide an overview of the studies’ context and history, public feedback received to date, options for the outlets, and field public questions; • Groups and/or members of the public can register as a delegation for the public meeting to allow them a chance (5 minute maximum) to share their views with the audience. If you would like to register as a delegation, please email or call Stephen Arends at stephena@jp2g.com or 613.828.7800 x229.

ic's vision is to create a lowstress environment for animals and deliver the very best veterinary care possible. Providing as many services as possible in-house, reducing transportation time and handling are key to achieving this vision. The clinic currently offers orthopedic and dental surgery, physiotherapy, laser therapy, and treadmill physiotherapy for recovery after surgery, but the Limas are constantly searching for new opportunities to introduce new technology to the clinic. That search was fruitful in 2018, when the clinic received funding from the Eastern Ontario Development Project (EODP) to purchase ultrasound equipment. By introducing this service in-house, the ultrasound equipment allows the clinic to service clients who in the past would have been referred to Kingston or Ottawa for ultrasounds. As Vera explained, less transport and handling equate to less stress on the animals and improved care. "The EODP resources helped us to be able to offer more services to the community," she said. "The

Cathy Wood Photography/Submitted Funding through Valley Heartland's Eastern Ontario Development Program assisted the Limas with purchasing ultrasound equipment. This equipment not only means the Limas are able to provide an additional service for patients, but it also helps to reduce stress for pets, always a priority at Lanark Veterinary Clinic. program really helps small businesses like ours offer higher innovation." While innovation is something that the Limas continue to embrace, they understand their staff are also important to the process. The Limas own and operate a sister clinic in North Gower - Carleton Veterinary Services which is also AAHA-certified. Between the two locations, they employ more than 20 staff, many of whom are longtime employees. The secret to their suc-

cess in retaining staff, according to Vera, is simple: honour staff and respect their home life and work life balance and boundaries, while ensuring that they have the support they need. "In this industry it's easy for employees to encounter compassionate fatigue," she explained. "We are very aware of this and ensure staff have mental health resources available to help them cope."

Kohle Harriss is enrolled in the marksmanship instructor course at Connaught Ranges in Kanata. "Every summer, we send cadets to camps all over the province," said Capt. Penny Irish, commanding officer of 585 Squadron. "We are very proud of their achievements. They learn so much over those two-, three- and six-week courses. They come back really motivated to share their new skills and knowledge." Cadets who attend instructor courses are expec-

ted to return to the squadron the next year as leaders in these areas. As with all Cadet courses, transportation to the course, meals, accommodation, and training are free of charge. Cadets also receive a small stipend of $10 per day to attend summer courses. Not all cadets will be taking courses this summer; some will be employed as camp staff. Two senior cadets, Sgt. Ryan Frank and W.O. Don Weatherall, are heading off to Borden and North Bay, respectively. Ryan will staff the Blackdown Camp and Don will work at the advanced aviation course at Canadore College. Local youth interested in joining Cadets should visit the Squadron website (www.585aircadets.org) to get more information. The 585 Rideau Squadron is located at 44 Abbott St. in Smiths Falls. Air cadets meet every Wednesday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. from September to June. Optional activities are held on Monday and Friday evenings and some weekends. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a national organization for Canadian youth between the ages of 12 and 19 focused on social development, decision-making, and leadership.

Two cadets from 585 Rideau Squadron in Smiths Falls are jumping for joy; they have been awarded flying scholarships for the summer. Corbett Marsh and Owen Baillon of Perth, both flight sergeants at 585, were selected from applicants across Ontario. Owen was awarded a Glider Pilot Scholarship, a six-week program of ground school and in-flight glider pilot training. At the end of the course he will qualify for a glider pilot license and be awarded air cadet glider pilot wings. This training occurs at CFB Mountainview, near Trenton, Ont. Corbett was selected to attend the Power Pilot Scholarship which takes place over seven weeks at one of several training centres across Canada. Corbett is heading to a flight centre in Steinbeck, Man. At the end of the course, he will receive his Private Pilot License and his air cadet power pilot wings. Scholarships are hard to come by. The selection process is lengthy as cadets must be chosen at the squadron level before competing at the regional and provincial levels. Cadets wishing to compete for a scholarship attend air studies throughout the fall. In early January, they must write a qualifying exam, submit a detailed application form, and write a personal narrative. At the regional level, cadets are interviewed by a threemember panel before their applications are reviewed and ranked for consideration at the provincial lev-

JASPER BUSINESSPERSON KAYLEY KENNEDY, IS NEW FEDERAL LIBERAL CANDIDATE DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Jasper resident Kayley Kennedy is the new Liberal Party candidate for the upcoming federal election. Kennedy won the nomination race against Carleton Place resident Paolo Villa this past weekend. According to Ken Fisher, treasurer of the Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston federal Liberal riding association, there were 99 members who voted at the two voting polls in Sydenham Saturday morning, June 15, and later that afternoon at St. Paul's United Church in Perth. "We were pleased with the turnout," wrote Fisher in an email to this newspaper. "Kayley is a very fine young woman, astute, well-educated, and grounded in LFK." "I was so excited," said Kennedy, 24, who runs a communications business in Jasper, during a telephone interview on Monday, June 17. Earlier that morning, she had gotten off of the phone with Peter Milliken, Canada's longest-serving Speaker of the House of Commons. He had phoned to congratulate her on her victory, and "that was a really neat surprise," she said. It was words of encouragement from another politician that set her on her path toward running for office. In 2018, she attended the federal Liberals' convention in Halifax, where she met Emmanuella Lambropoulos, the Liberal MP for the riding of Saint-Laurent on the island of Montreal. "She asked me if I was interested in running," said Kennedy. Lambropoulos then wrote her a note, which read: "You can do it. Come join me in 2019."

Photo submitted by Ken Fisher Lennox and Addington MP Mike Bossio gives Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston federal Liberal candidate Kayley Kennedy a hug during the nomination meeting at St. Paul's United Church in Perth on Saturday, June 15. After securing her nomination, Kennedy said she was grateful for the support of fellow female politicians like Lambropoulos: "I'm running because of people like you The riding has been held by Conservative MP Scott Reid since 2000, and the riding has not always rushed to embrace the Liberal party. Since February, the Liberals' federal numbers have fallen behind the opposition Conservatives, after numerous scandals in Ottawa. But when asked about how she plans to address these scandals on the campaign trail, she said that they were "distractions from the accomplishments" of the Trudeau government. She said that 825,000 people had been lifted out of poverty since 2015, that expanded Canada Child Benefits had helped countless families, and that there was a greater emphasis on gender equality in this administration.

Having travelled around the riding, she said she has heard loud and clear that some people cannot hear loud and clear when it comes to cellphone service. "Cellphone service and internet access is lacking across the riding," she said. Even voters living 20 minutes outside of Kingston, for example, have to pay "an arm and a leg to get internet access and it's still quite slow," she said. "It's a priority. You need it for school and to conduct business." The federal government is already looking at plans to expand internet access to rural areas, but she wants this riding to get the help "sooner rather than later." Her campaign flyer highlights her experience, from owning Kennedy Communications (which offers communications services, and makes documents accessible for people with disabilities), to her time on Parliament Hill, to working at the Human Rights Office as a senior project leader at the University of Ottawa, to, more locally, serving as the Town of Smiths Falls' Canada 150 events co-ordinator. She was also the student trustee protégé for the Upper Canada District School board and was her class representative at Algonquin College. Kennedy graduated from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in 2012. She had attended Wolford Public School and Duncan J. Schoular school in Smiths Falls where she graduated as valedictorian. She has a master of political management from Carleton University, an honours BA in public relations from a joint Algonquin/University of Ottawa program.

HERITAGE DESIGNATION WOULD PRESERVE D-DAY SITES IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROTECT OUR WAR HISTORY, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column

loss of life (both military and civilian) and the nearly incomprehensible tragedy of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis during the Second World War - people in general should realize the folly of war and the horror of man's inhumanity to man. Historians, including staff at the Juno Beach Centre, are lobbying hard to make sure that artifacts of the Battle of Normandy are retained and preserved. Included are remaining gun emplacements, bunkers and trench systems which were part of Hitler's muchvaunted "Atlantic Wall" the coastal defences the Allies successfully breached on June 6, 1944. There is also a move afoot to have the Normandy invasion beaches and the remnants of the seaside battle designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. However that process has been delayed which is concerning. I think it would be a terrible shame if the former invasion beaches and remaining remnants of this pivotal Second World War engagement don't receive the proposed heritage designation. I will be following the UNESCO process with great interest! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

Two weeks ago today our country staged an impressive ceremony in Normandy, France at the coastal location where 75 years earlier Canadian troops stormed ashore as part of the Second World War DDay invasion. I got up early on June 6 to watch television coverage of the various events held to mark the special anniversary. D-Day veterans now average 95 years of age. So it was undoubtedly the last time any of the soldiers who actually participated in 'Operation Overlord' (the code name for the Normandy landings) will take part in such observances. June 6, 1944 marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler's dream of world domination. It was also the biggest seaborne invasion in history. So, not an insignificant event! In my column published in this newspaper on the actual anniversary date, I lamented the fact that polls show a majority of Canadians either don't know what D-Day was or can provide scant details of the Second World War battle. I think that's sad considering that 14,000 Canadian soldiers stormed ashore on that long ago morning and 359 died in the first day of fighting. During the two and a half months of the Normandy Campaign (June 6-Aug. 21) more than 5,000 Canadians were killed in action.

When my wife and I visited Normandy in 1995 there wasn't a lot to see at Juno Beach in Courseullessur-Mer, France. There were some plaques, a Second World War-era tank and a few flags and banners flying. Since our visit things have improved immensely with the advent of the Juno Beach Centre, a museum located immediately adjacent to the site of the Canadian landings on D-Day. Thanks to the work of private individuals who spearheaded the project funding was obtained, including contributions from both the Canadian and French governments, to develop a facility dedicated to Canada's considerable role during the Second World War and particularly on D-Day. The centre was inaugurated on June 6, 2003. Still, I am very concerned by the general lack of knowledge about Canada's role in the wars of the 20th century. Polls continue to show a steady decline in this regard. I don't blame teachers. I blame the current curriculum which doesn't place nearly enough emphasis on this important subject. Our teachers are more than capable of imparting this important history to their classes. And some go out of their way to do so. However unless war history is made compulsory a large segment of our youth will avoid taking what many consider to be "boring history." I feel that by detailing what happened during the world wars - the terrible

TEMPORARY ATV TRAIL THROUGH MOVIES UNDER THE STARS CONTINUES THIS SUMMER TOWN TO BE CONSIDERED EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com

EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com

The show must go on. Despite the Together Smiths Falls board dissolving earlier this year, Movies Under the Stars will continue.

Torstar file photo ATVers gather for the 10th annual poker run in North Augusta held on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2016. to have access to Ferguson Drive and Alfred Street for amenities. The route would then go down Abbott Street until they clear the canal. ATVers would then take the path and cross the old railway bridge continuing on the path to William Street, then follow William Street to Highway 43, where the trail would connect to the OVRT. The trail would not go down Harold Street, as a previous iteration of the proposed trail - presented in 2017 - had included. Residents in that area have previously raised concerns about having ATVs travelling on their street, for fear that noise and exhaust could reduce their ability to enjoy their properties especially in the summer months when people want to sit outdoors or have their windows open. Currently, road access for ATVs requires a municipality's permission. Municipalities also have the ability to put bylaws in place that would restrict the time of day that ATVs could be using the roads. "We just want to get it up and going, see if it's going to work," said Rick Gilfillen, president of the Rideau Lakes ATV Club, of the proposed trail trial. "If it doesn't work you have the option to end it." The stakeholders advocating for the trail through town report that member-

ship in ATV clubs is on the rise and so are the dollars generated through ATV tourism. In 2015, Ontario residents spent $974 million on activities directly involving the operation of ATVs and side-by-sides, according to data presented by the OFATV. Mike Chicoine, vice president of the OFATV, said that most of the money is generated through food and fuel purchases. When asked about expected ATV volume if a trail through town were approved, he said it was hard to estimate. However, he did say on an average weekend the town could see around 50 ATVs passing through. While town council has voted in favour of including the Rideau Lakes ATV Club in the strategic planning for connectivity to regional trail networks, they have not decided on whether or not to allow the development of an ATV trail through town - like other area municipalities such as Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills have done. The Rideau Lakes ATV Club will be at the table to help form a strategy for trail linkages, and they're hoping that a two-year trial will be approved in the interim until a more permanent solution can be agreed upon. This issue is expected to come up at a future committee of the whole.

It's been a long road for area ATV clubs trying to develop a trail through Smiths Falls. But stakeholders, including the Rideau Lakes ATV Club, the 1000 Islands ATV Club, as well as the Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicle Clubs (OFATV), may be getting closer to getting their wish: a temporary trail through town for a two-year trial period. With this connection, the groups say they'll be able to link upwards of eight, possibly nine, different area ATV clubs through town - boosting ATV tourism in the area. ATVers would be passing through town on their way to access more elaborate trail systems that Smiths Falls doesn't have, like those that exist in areas such as Mattawa. Greg Potvin, of the 1000 Island ATV Club, said before Smiths Falls town council on Monday, June 17, when making their pitch that Smiths Falls would act as a hub linking already established routes, giving ATVers better access to the newly-established Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail (OVRT) what's been called a highway for ATVs. "This would make the largest continuous ATV trail in Ontario," he said. "The heart of which would be Smiths Falls." The suggested route through town would be less than 1.5 kilometres, which would enter town from the Rideau Lakes ATV Club's private trail, proceeding onto the portion of the Cataraqui Trail that the town owns. The route would then take ATVers toward Ferrara Drive and follow that to Abbott Street. The clubs would also like ATVs

Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow said that there was some concern over the winter that the outdoor movies series, Movies Under the Stars, would not be continuing - but that's not the case. He said Together Smiths Falls, the organiza-

tion that previously put on the popular movie series, donated all the movie projection and concession equipment to the town. A park party planned for Thursday, June 27, that will kick off this season of Movies Under the Stars in Centennial Park. The grand opening of the newly enhanced fountains in the park will start at 7 p.m. that night, with Movies Under the Stars kicking off at 8 p.m.

I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. You see life has gone on without you but will never be the same. Miss you terribly Mom, Dad, Bob, Diana, Diane, Peter, Janet, Mike and families

CONNECTIONS SEEKING VOLUNTEER BIRTH COMPANIONS IN SMITHS FALLS, CARLETON PLACE Connections for families is a non-profit project that is part of Lanark Community Programs (part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services). It is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community. We are currently looking for volunteer birth companions to volunteer their time with young women in our community. Volunteers are especially needed in the Smiths Falls area and Carleton Place. The Birth Companion program began in 1995, it is unique and highly valued in Lanark County. Today we celebrate more than 300 matches made. Its purpose is to support young women, or young women and their partners, throughout their pregnancy, labour and delivery. Every step of the way, a trained volunteer from our community supports the family and the arrival of the new baby. Statistics show when women have good support during labour and delivery, birth outcomes improve, resulting in fewer interventions and labours resulting in caesarean sections. All volunteers apply and are asked to provide three solid references. A police vulnerability/criminal records check is done, and an interview takes place. Extensive training is offered over a three-day period or six evening sessions. Training will be Sept. 18 to 20. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: confidentiality, teen pregnancy, effective communication, stages of labour, labour comfort techniques, infectious dis-

ease control and breastfeeding. An explanation of what Connections does and its philosophy is reviewed, and current community resources are shared. When a match becomes available, volunteers are chosen and introduced to the young woman in their community. Participants have been matched as early as four weeks pregnant and as late as just prior to labour. Birth companions and participants spend time throughout the pregnancy doing a variety of things together. Accompaniment to a doctor or ultrasound appointment, prenatal classes or teachings, shopping, cooking or just spending time together having a coffee. Mostly, it's having an ear to listen and knowing there is someone in the community they can count on. Birth companions are encouraged to do a birth plan (provided) with their match, reviewing what the women/partner want and hope for during delivery and after. Most matches are part of the delivery, although not all. Our volunteers are excited when they can attend a birth; some have attended more than 30 deliveries. At times, participants have requested the same volunteer for all of their children. Deliveries are always different: natural births, assisted births, caesarean sections, home births, and we even had a birth in an ambulance with the volunteer present. The Connections volunteer co-ordinator facilitates the training, checks in on a biweekly schedule with each volunteer while

matched, offering support and guidance. She is available by phone throughout the match at any time. The facilitator also checks in with the participant, making sure her needs are always being met. Our birth companions have given us some great feedback over the years, based on their experiences: "It was beautiful" and "I cried with the mom." Our participants have stated: "She was so supportive," "She helped so much with my appointments," and "She was there for me when my partner wasn't." Birth companions can become a lifeline for these women and for the families. Although matches technically end at six weeks, often they continue indefinitely. We have stories of birth companions becoming godparents and/or becoming part of the extended family. Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies, and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and the community. Connections is a very unique agency. We offer not only a variety of support, but a progression of support. Participants can move from program to program as their child develops, or they can use more than one program at a time. All participation is voluntary, free and is parentdirected. Our programs are run throughout Lanark County, and our Good Food for a Healthy Baby program is also run in Leeds and Grenville. If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children, please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. For more information or to become a volunteer, call 613-257-2779, ext. 3104. Submitted by Maureen Hampton, Connections staff member

'THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB' BRINGS BELLY LAUGHS TO SMITHS FALLS' THE STATION THEATRE Just like the bright sun will brighten up the summer skies, the five strong female actors in this laughout-loud comedy will brighten up The Station Theatre this June. The playwrighting team of Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten has written 19 comedy plays, all set in the South. The Dixie Swim Club may be set in the south, but the characters are so relatable that, while watching, you will see your best friends, the gals you've known all your life and maybe even yourself. Kathy Lacasse, who was last seen on the Station Theatre's stage as Miss Marple in last fall's hit Agatha Christie's A Murder is Announced, has taken on the role of director for this show. She spent many happy years with the Brighton Barn Theatre, both onstage and directing. Since moving to the Brockville area, she is keeping the passion alive

with our theatre. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre is pleased to have her on board. The Dixie Swim Club is a play that could easily be a story of five stereotypical women - all different so as to make the story funny. But the deep friendships that are established in this play and the love that each one feels for the others, even though they poke fun and make jokes at each other's expense, is what keeps this play refreshingly real. Sheree (Wendy Monagle) is the leader of the pack who never stopped leading; Lexie (Jen Hart) is the flirt who's been flirting her way through men since college; Dinah (Pat Hunter) was so focused on work that she forgot to flirt; Vernadette (Liz Stienberg) has the worst luck any human possibly can have; and Jeri Neal (Katharine Coleman) starts the play as a nun, as straitlaced as they come!

Katharine Coleman photo As Jeri Neal (Katharine Coleman) keeps Sheree's (Wendy Monagle) attention, Dinah (Pat Hunter) gives Lexie (Jen Hart) the opportunity to use the plant as a waste basket. Vernadette (Liz Stienberg) enjoys the show. But even with all of those different personalities, a friendship was born when the five girls were on their college swim team, all those years ago. The bond they formed would keep them in each other's lives through many years, many experiences, and through thick and thin. The play starts in 1986, 20 years after gradua-

tion, and ends in the present when the girls are 77. Life changes around them, often with hilarious lines of dialogue, but friendship is one thing that stays constant. As Lexie says to the group after an intense fight, "I don't want to lose this. Our friendship is the one sure thing I've always had to hold on to." So bring your best

friends, your funny bone, and be prepared to laugh the night away when you meet this amazing group of women. The show runs Friday and Saturday, June 14 and 15, at 7:30 p.m., and a matinee show is on Sunday, June 16, at 2 p.m. The second weekend runs Thursday to Saturday, June 20 to 22, at

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!
