‘AN IRRATIONAL SITE’: BRUCE LINTON STAKES REPUTATION ON NEW DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Plans to redevelop the old Smiths Falls Water Treatment Plant into a new hotel/office/ conference centre space are coming into focus, but even the developers admit that it is a tricky site to work on. "(It is) kind of an irrational site to tackle, but I want to do it," said Bruce Linton, the CEO of Canopy Growth Corporation, speaking before Smiths Falls town council's committee of the whole meeting on Monday, June 24.

Apart from the contamination on the site, aesthetically and location-wise, "that site is amazing," said Linton.

However, because of the logistics involved with the site, Linton estimated that it would take a year longer to build there than it otherwise would have at any other similar site.

"One of the aspects is heritage," he said. "If it is truly heri-

tage, it has value. If it does not (have heritage), it is cost."

Two of the buildings on site have a heritage designation.

One major change Linton would like to see would be to straighten out Old Mill Road, which would give the facility more frontage. He'd also like to see the relocation of the town's water tower.

"Parking is going to be a thing for this site," added Linton.

Another change would be to have a restaurant on site, with decking stretching out over the water, "so you really feel you are in and part of Smiths Falls."

The plan also calls for a conference centre and hotel, as well as offices for Tweed. The nearby Confederation Bridge, closed for many years now, is also part of the plan.

"Get rid of that bridge and rebuild it," he said, with a new pedestrian bridge that could be used by couples on their wedding See ‘GREAT’, page 2

day to take photos on.

Co-presenter Travis Grimes returned to the issue of the site's contamination, noting that "the contaminated soil has become somewhat contentious for us."

During the next phase of the development, the water in that stretch of the waterway may be shut off so that an inspection of the masonry work can be carried out; this would give them a better idea of how to "preserve and protect the heritage aspects."

Such an inspection, however, also adds to the cost by as much as 50 per cent, said Grimes.

"We are trying to create a Class A office space," said Grimes.

In the meantime, Linton admitted that he and his team are still trying to get to a final design and cost

for the project. After that, "we can actually take this (idea) to funders," said Linton.

Coun. Wendy Alford compared Linton's investment in the old water plant to the co-founders of Shopify investing in The Opinicon resort in Elgin, "to turn it into an absolutely world class place."

Coun. Jay Brennan began his remarks with a simple: "Wow. Holy moley."

"This is a really exciting project," said Coun. Niki Dwyer. She added that Grimes and Linton have "a much better idea of what heritage conservation looks like," compared to the team trying to redesign Ottawa's iconic Chateau Laurier. (Linton pointed out that Grimes worked on Parliament Hill's west block restoration and has more than a decade's worth of experience in heritage restoration.)

"Great things come to those who wait," said Mayor Shawn Pankow. "We've all talked about the need for more hotel space," in town.

Across the road, Pankow admitted that many citizens have "a sentimental attachment," to the water tower, but officer workers may not want to look out at such a vista.

The new development could well become "the cleaned-up corner of everything," said Pankow. "This is a big priority for us."

As a young man himself, Coun. Chris McGuire said that "a lot of my friends are getting married and going to other towns," for the ceremonies and receptions. If this venue becomes a wedding destination, McGuire joked that he should consider "setting up a dating profile" online.

Coun. Peter McKenna agreed with Linton that

HAZELDEAN GARDENS ANNOUNCES In response to the growing need for care options to serve those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, the Ottawa area’s premier retirement residence is introducing a new Day Program for Adults.

"there are a lot of complications," with this site. "It is substantial." In fact, "if it was anybody else," making such a proposal for such a site, "I'd say it's unrealistic." But seeing as it is the Tweed group that is fronting this development, "I'm with you guys on this one."

"I have a reputational risk to try this," said Linton. "It's the right thing to do. But there's no slam dunk on this."

However, Alford agreed with McKenna that "I think you are the men for the job."

"It's not rational," said Linton.

"Your irrationality is quite attractive," said Alford.

SMITHS FALLS CELEBRATES CANADA'S 152ND DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Warm weather meant plenty of people dressed in red and white filled Centennial Park to celebrate Canada Day 2019.

Live music, lots of great food, bouncy structures on

land and water: there was something for everyone in Smiths Falls for the nation's 152nd birthday.

Whether it was kids sweating it out with the many activities, or adults enjoying the odd cool breeze under the shade of a tree, spirits were high and light.

Over at Heritage House Museum it was a buzz of activity with some visitors profaning joyful frustration at the challenging history quiz. At least there were fresh Beavertails from the 1860s oven to placate.

STUDENT SUPPORT WORKERS FIGHT BACK AT JOB CUTS ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Chanting 'Mental health matters,' and 'Cuts hurt kids,' hundreds rallied in front of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) office in Brockville June 26, protesting cuts to para-professional employees.

A total of 160 cuts were made, including 24 student support partners, also known as child and youth workers and behaviourists, after UCDSB trustees approved the cuts in the 2019-2020 budget June 19.

Other job losses are 42 teacher positions, 30 education assistants, early childhood educators, English language learner instructors and instructional assistants, 22 school office support staff, 22 learning commons informationists, 11 speech language assistance positions, and more.

The layoffs represent a 53 per cent cut to para-professionals within the UCDSB, according to one of the laid off employees, Jim Mulville. Mulville, who was a student support

our schools and other mental health issues, not to mention presenting a curriculum and worrying about academics. There's just no way that they can service 27,000 kids with the staff they have on hand."

Mulville said student support partners are frontline workers who provided critical assistance to students in the areas of mental health, suicide prevention, access to outside agencies, homelessness, family trauma, and more. He said the board should be more worried about the well-being of its students than the deficit.

"As an elected trustee, your job is to make sure the education system in your community is at its peak, at its best, servicing all," he commented, urging the board to "give our schools what they need and let the province come down and make those cuts."

THE ISSUE: EDUCATION CUTS LOCAL IMPACT: THE ELIMINATION OF STUDENT SUPPORT PARTNERS IN SCHOOLS COULD TAKE AWAY ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS IN THE AREAS OF MENTAL HEALTH, SUICIDE PREVENTION, FAMILY TRAUMA AND MORE "They're doing the dirty work for the Ford government and it's shameful," Mulville added.

In May, Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark announced a $927,495 increase to the UCDSB's provincial funding allocation (the largest in the board's history).

They are set to receive $342 million from the province for the 2019-2020 school year, including a nearly $41 million grant for special education, "in light of their declining enrollment," Clark said in a press re-

lease at the time.

Mandy Steele, chief negotiator with OSSTFs District 26 bargaining unit, is also being laid off. She said while the UCDSB may think they're saving money, the impact will be felt elsewhere, possibly in the board's graduation rate.

The UCDSB has a goal of raising its graduation rate to 90 per cent by 2020.

"We increase that (graduation rate) by having the supports to make that happen," she stressed. "If our students are struggling with mental health, struggling with addiction, strug-

gling with anything that's preventing them from reaching that graduation, why aren't we putting those supports in to help them continue their education career?"

The resources of community agencies will also be burdened, as well as social assistance, health care and the justice system, Steele expects. "It's not like a savings in education is a savings for the province," Steele said. "No, it's just transferring the need elsewhere."

UCDSB board chair John McAllister said the decision to make the cuts was a difficult one, but necessary to address the $11.7 million deficit the board, which governs 79 schools, is facing. He said that even with these changes, the board is still carrying a nearly $7 million deficit in the special education budget.

"We have 4,200 employees, this only involves 24.

Not to undervalue their work whatsoever, but stu-

dent wellness is the responsibility of each and every principal, guidance counsellor, student success teacher, etc.," he said. "Kids who are in crisis, this group never dealt with them as such, that was the responsibility of a therapist and we'd work with outside agencies such as Open Doors and CHEO to address some of these issues."

There are no plans to replace the jobs, but that doesn't mean the board doesn't have a system in place, McAllister pointed out. He referred to the UCDSB's mental health plan and each school's student improvement plan for student achievement and wellness as guiding documents.

"The Upper Canada District School Board has not abandoned its student well-

ness responsibilities and never will," he commented.

"Students who were in trouble last year were treated and they're going to continue to be treated this year in the same way."

To further address the special education overages, the board also approved a pilot "we hope will help us increase our revenue and decrease our costs." That program will see students in classes for part of the day, but withdrawn when they need treatment from an education assistant, teacher or social worker, then reintegrated into the classroom.

"It's not totally business as usual, but there's a high degree of normalcy," he continued. "We're open for business and we look forward to working with our students in the fall."

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

As it entered budget deliberations in May, the Upper Canada District School Board was facing an $11.7 million deficit, which has been followed by this newspaper. The 160 job cuts to partially address that deficit, will impact the supports students receive in the classroom.

FIRST ALL-FEMALE TEAM INDUCTED INTO SMITHS FALLS RECREATION HALL OF FAME 230 Lombard street, smiths FaLLs 613-283-8200 613-283-0944

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com

CLEARANCE - GOT TO GO! Desmond Devoy/Torstar Members of the 2009-2010 Smtihs Falls Cubs "Midget B" girls team came together Sunday, June 23, to be inducted into the Smiths Falls Recreation Hall of Fame. attendance.

He arrived in Smiths Falls in 1963 with all of his worldly possessions in one bag - which he was told he could leave on a new friend's porch while he went looking for a place to stay.

"Leave your suitcase on the porch," he was told.

"There's not a thief in Smiths Falls."

All these years later, "my family owe a great debt of gratitude to Canada and Smiths Falls."

Greg Earl received an award not only for founding the local cycling club, but also for establishing the Sport X cycling shop on Chambers Street.

"Life is good when I am on my bike," Earl said.

Holding up his award, he remarked that, "hopefully this does not mean my ride is over. Hopefully there is more to come."

Len Bolton told the audience "thank you for recognizing the Smiths Falls Tennis Club," as he stepped up to accept the award on their behalf. He joked that his wife "made a mistake" back in the 1970s by suggested that they take up tennis - a passion that has stuck with them ever sing.

Bolton thanked the volunteers for making the club possible, and for helping train more than 1,800 people how to play the sport over the decades.

Another inductee was

Northern Ireland-born boxer Dave Pinkerton.

Butch Dignard, accepting the award on behalf of his uncle, said simply, "it's a great honour for my uncle."

Athletes are central to sports, but they need a place to play, which is why the Hall of Fame committee has taken steps to remember the old sporting facilities that used to exist in town, which are still part of the memories of older citizens.

In years gone by there were "a couple of bowling alleys, a couple of curling clubs, two or three billiard rooms, a number of outdoor swimming pools, wading pools, a couple of band shells," said former mayor Dennis Staples. "This one surprised me. There were two golf courses in Smiths Falls over the years," and not the two currently in operation.

"We have to find a way to display this," said Staples.

On that very day, two new plaque were unveiled to remember the Winnifred Street arena, built in 1912, and the old canoe club, built in 1902 and located near the detached lock on the canal.

"These stories are many times long forgotten," said Mayor Shawn Pankow, thanking the committee for remembering sports figures and playing areas "long forgotten."

Walt Dubas stressed that he only wanted to call the ladies standing beside him "girls" once.

The ladies lined up were members of the 2009-2010 Smiths Falls Cubs "Midget B" girls ice hockey team, and they were reunited at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre's hall on Sunday, June 23, to remember their 46-2-8 season a decade ago, and to be inducted, en masse, into the Smiths Falls Recreation Hall of Fame.

As the women's World Cup played on the screens nearby (England 3, Cameroon 0), their coach, Walt Dubas called it "a historic day," since it was the "first time a girls' hockey team has been inducted into the Hall of Fame," he said. He stopped, and noted that that use of the word "girls" would be "the only time I'll refer to them as such," he said. When it comes to hockey skills, "there is no difference between boys and girls. We want them to be known as hockey players," he said. "We trained them as hockey players.

I've never had a team with more determination and commitment."

He called the 2009-2010 season "very satisfying."

The hockey players were one of several award winners that Sunday afternoon.

"What an honour," said Roy Alexander, a Scottish immigrant who excelled at soccer. "I thought I'd be nervous," but that was not to be when he looked around and saw so many friends. He remembered the early days of the tennis club in town when "you could never get people out to meetings," he recalled. That's when he came up with the idea of serving beer and sandwiches, which certainly helped

WHY DO WE COVER COURTS? APPEARING BEFORE A JUDGE CAN BE A NERVOUS TIME – EVEN FOR REPORTERS

insideottawavalley.com

DEVOY Column

Apart from the judge and the lawyers and bailiffs, no one really wants to be in a courtroom.

Sometimes even the jury.

Whether it's a civil or a criminal matter though, the arrival of a reporter in a courtroom can make already tense lawyers tense up even more.

I know. I've seen it myself.

By being in a courtroom, you're not catching people at their best. In fact, they're likely being judged for their worst decision ever.

I've covered a case where a financial planner stole money from an elderly lady with dementia.

Where a mental health nurse had sexual relations with one of his patients.

Where a former nurse was charged (later found not guilty) with abusing young boys in their youth.

Perth's first murder case in 20 years.

And, worst of all, a case where a teaching assistant at a local elementary school plead guilty to possessing and viewing child pornography.

That last one gave me nightmares for months - and I needed to talk to a therapist afterwards.

So why do we do it? Why do we cover these trials?

Everyone has a right to a fair trial.

The public also has a

right to know.

We are governed by Toronto Star guidelines that state that we "believe in freedom of expression and the public's right to know what is happening in the courts."

Heading into court, we have to hold section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) about the "freedom of the press," as being equal to section 11 (d), which covers the right "to a fair and public hearing." Notice that word, public.

We are not out to get anyone. We take what we do seriously.

If there is a publication ban, we adhere to it (even if our lawyers are challenging it.)

If charges are dropped, or added, we report on it.

If we name someone upon their arrest, we have to commit to follow through until charges are dropped, or the person is convicted, or found not guilty. (As one journalism teacher told me: "No one is ever found innocent.")

We do not publish the names of alleged sexual assaults, or of children in legal proceedings. In civil cases, we try to get both sides, and we are not on anyone's side, rooting for the police, or the defendant.

We don't cover as many cases as we'd like, or as we used to. And no, we will not be your tool to settle a score in court.

It's all there in the public record.

And so while few people like to be in court, not everyone can be in court - but we can, and we are there in your stead.

It's about trust. Our relationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This article is part of that project. We welcome your questions and value your comments.

Besides, you can't use it like it's intended because there are 40 kids sitting on it like lawn ornaments. So they should put a limit on how many kids can be in it at one time or something."

"We've had more requests for buskers this year," said Nadine Bennett, Smiths Falls town hall's deputy clerk, during town council's committee of the whole meeting on Monday, June 24.

That is why she has been working on establishing a new policy for busking in town, setting up locations and times. Busking will only be allowed from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and there will only be one busker per location. Each busker can perform for a maximum of four hours at one location.

Some of the locations proposed include municipal land at the intersection of Beckwith Street North and Main Street, as well as Beckwith and Russell Streets, along with Kins-

Jennifer Miller men Park and the welcome centre.

Acts would be vetted by the town's economic development department, who would also co-ordinate location and requirements, and there would be a code of conduct for buskers.

Bennett said she hoped to "have these (buskers) downtown for the tourist season," and she added that "there is not charge" for a permit.

The buskers would also have to show that they have up to $5 million in commercial insurance, though this became a point of contention at council.

"I love this idea," said

RMEO IMPROVEMENTS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH DONATIONS EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com

Heather Moodie, of Scott Signworks, has handpainted a sign on the Canadian Northern telegraph office using a period font prototypical of the time when the station was built.

"It's a beautiful door," said Roy. RMEO is also acquired two Ottawa Union Station benches, featuring lamps from the arts and crafts movement, that have been deaccessioned from the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

All these additions to the museum are about improving visitor experience, said RMEO board president, Tony Humphrey.

"This is part of enhancing the museum," he said.

The Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario (RMEO) in Smiths Falls has been able to make improvements to its century-old doors that were drafty, not energy efficient and less than secure.

A $5,000 donation made it possible for the museum to get the two double doors rebuilt in the museum's main area that were falling apart.

The doors were originally installed in 1912, when

the station opened. As much material as possible from the original doors was kept.

"It's going to keep it warmer, more secure, while keeping it period correct," said Graeme Roy, RMEO board vice president and telegraph operator.

The doors also received new locks, replacing the old cast iron ones, courtesy of Tom's Locksmith.

The doors are not the only improvements at the museum.

Coun. Niki Dwyer. "But I feel like not every busker in town will have access to $5 million in insurance."

Dwyer, joined by Mayor Shawn Pankow, called for the insurance amount to be reduced to $2 million.

Coun. Peter McKenna stated that "I think it is a fairly low risk activity," but wondered about noise restrictions since "some of these acts do require amplification."

Pankow had a concern of his own, namely, more risky acts like fire breathers or axe throwers, which can be great acts "if done properly," he said. But if there are safety provisions in place, "maybe there is room for that," said Pankow, suggesting that there could be a "second step," audition process for those acts to prove their trustworthiness.

"The Downtown Business Association is wonderfully excited about this move," said Coun. Wendy Alford.

OLD MODEL T WAS LIKE A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY AFTER INITIAL HESITATION, THERE WAS NO STOPPING FATHER, MARY COOK WRITES MARY COOK Column

Father didn't know much about cars.

The old Model T we got in a trade - gravel from our pit to fill a neighbour's culvert. My brother Everett drove it home when the deal was completed, and it took

forever for Father to get behind the wheel.

He cleared out the cutter and an assortment of farm tools from an outbuilding close to the house, and ever after, it was called the drive shed. When the car was brought home, Everett drove it right into the drive shed, and there it sat for days.

Father finally got around to trying to start the

Model T. He took the crank out from under the front seat, and I stood at the drive shed door, pretty sure the old car would blow to bits.

The crank took a spin, Father's arm flew in the air, and I was sure he was maimed for life. The German swear words came out of his mouth like bullets!

But the car started and was shaking like someone with Saint Vitus' dance.

His first trip out the lane was to Briscoe's General Store, with me in the back seat. After that first trip,

there was no stopping Father.

Then came the Saturday night when Mother was able to scrape together enough money to take us all into Renfrew to the O'Brien Theatre. It was a Hop Along Cassidy show, and we would be driving back to Northcote in the dark. Just before we got into the car for the trip into Renfrew, Mother had a good look at the little lights on either side of the car and sent Everett to the barn for a lantern. And thank good-

...going the

ness she did!

It was dark when we hit the Northcote Side Road, and so Mother lit the lantern.

Holding it at arm's length out her side of the car, it was easy to see there was more light from the lantern than there was from the two little lamps attached to the side of the car.

I said a silent thanks when we didn't meet one other car all the way back to the farm.

One day Mother said Father should take the car into Thacker's Garage in Ren-

frew and have it checked over. He said as long as it was running, there was no need to spend hard-earned dollars on a car that was held together with wire and binder twine. As if he was talking about a member of the family, he said, "If she dies, she dies."

Mary Cook's Memories appears as a regular column.

The swimmers started out from in front of the Econo Lodge hotel, racing along a water circuit before emerging, some stagger-

road, many smiling as they squinted, racing toward the setting sun.

On the hot summer evening, on the other end of the park, runners, some solitary, some running in packs, trundled across the path toward the finish line, some holding hands and raising them together, in unison, as they finished their race.

It was a fitting display of athletic excellence on this, the triathlon's 40th anniversary weekend.

SMITHS FALLS' SPRING FLING RUNNING THING RAISES $6,000 FOR HOSPITAL FOUNDATION DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com The 2019 edition of the Spring Fling Running Thing, held this past Sunday, April 28, raised $6,000 for the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation.

About $4,500 came from the race itself, with the remainder of the money coming from corporate donors like Kilmarnock Enterprises and Guy Saumure and Sons construction, according to race co-ordinator Corey Turnbull.

The money will go toward the new mammogram machine.

"The mammogram is really important," said Lise Smith, the foundation's executive director. She explained that the machine is not meant for exclusive fe-

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? SMITHS FALLS' FIRE HYDRANTS GET PAINT MAKEOVER

Desmond Devoy/Torstar Corey Turnbull of the Spring Fling Running Thing presents a cheque for $6,000 to the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation's executive director at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital's Garden of Life in Smiths Falls on Thursday, June 27. Joining them, from left to right are, Pat Graveline, Sheldon Harris, Danika Bowick, and Jenny Salte. male use. Some men, because of their family history, can be tested on the machine too.

"We did some research," said Smith.

According to the Canadian Breast Cancer Network, approximately 220 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year,

with 60 men dying of the disease.

"The statistics shocked me," said Smith.

It was a good news day for the foundation, as they had already accepted another cheque earlier for $7,000.

"People are really just stepping up," said Smith.

TOWNSHIP OF ELIZABETHTOWN-KITLEY NOTICE OF TENDER Tender No. 2019-07 Project: To supply an International Diesel Cab and Chassis for Fire Department Tanker

Specifications and Tender forms may be obtained from Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley at its offices located at: 424 County Rd 29 Toledo ON K0E 1Y0 or 6544 New Dublin Rd RR # 2, Addison ON K0E 1A0 Sealed tenders, clearly marked as to contents, will be received at the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley New Dublin Office until Monday July 15th, 2019 at 4:00 p.m.

*Tenders are Subject to Budget Approval*

So, why are Smiths Falls' fire hydrants yellow and not red, like they are in kids' storybooks?

On the morning of Wednesday, June 19, the town's summer students were seen adding the final coat of yellow paint onto a hydrant at the intersection of Davidson Street West and Brockville Street.

"The trend to move toward yellow hydrants allows for the colour contrast to be more readily seen at night for fire personnel," wrote W. Troy Dunlop, the Town of Smiths Falls' director of public works and utilities, in an email dated Friday, June 21.

"The town must maintain its public hydrants in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Standard."

And that is why the "top cap" is painted a different colour for hydrants across town. They are "painted in a manner in which the top cap is coloured to identify the range of flows. Typically, new hydrants are supplied and installed as yellow and we

colour the cap accordingly," Dunlop wrote.

For example, a blue cap, like the one just mentioned, indicates a Class AA hydrant, with a water flow of more than 1,500 GPM (gallons per minute.) As for the rest ...

There are approximately 300 fire hydrants in Smiths Falls, and they tend to be painted once every five years "or on an asneeded basis," wrote Dunlop.

order that the world could be saved through Him (John 3:17)

On Saturday, the 22nd of June 2019, Bruce Anderson passed away peacefully at the Ottawa General Hospital after a long and stoic fight with kidney disease. He was born on the 15th of August, 1946 in Lethbridge, AB to William and Helen (née Patterson) Anderson (sisters: Judy [d], Janet and Jane). He received his Master of Business Administration from Stanford University in 1972, graduating with distinction. He worked principally as a civil servant (Canada Post and Royal Canadian Mint), and entrepreneur.

Bruce is survived by his son Casey Anderson (Stacey Begg). Bruce was an intelligent, authentic and passionate man, who committed himself wholeheartedly to whatever struck his interest. Proudly, he was the Editor of The Gauntlet (University of Calgary’s newspaper) and won the Fraser Institute of Canada Prize in 1992 for his research into the lifecycle of coins, seeking to achieve economies for the government. He loved soccer, refereeing throughout the Ottawa Valley for over ten years, and volunteering his time as a coach and executive member of the Almonte Soccer Club. He adored the theatre, performing under the stage name “G.A. Bain” in a variety of companies in both Almonte and Ottawa, though never fully realizing his life’s ambition of playing “Matt” in Talley’s Folly.

He will always be remembered for his stories, wit and generosity. He will live on in the memories of those who cherished his inimitable style, joie de vivre and hunger to “always leave them laughing”. Bruce longed to return to nature, and his ashes will be spread on camping trips in Gatineau and Alberta this summer.

Those wishing to remember Bruce are requested to donate in his name to the Ottawa Gladstone Theatre or Almonte General Hospital.

Cards of Thanks

McDOUGALL, William Ray The family of the late Ray McDougall would like to express our deepest appreciation to our family, friends, and neighbours.

We would like to say thank you for all your condolences and kind words of sympathy, and for the donations made in Ray’s memory.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Terry, peacefully, in Orchard View by the Mississippi, Almonte, ON. Son of the late Ned and Doris (née Hutchison) Currie, predeceased by his darling wife, Shirley (née Jones). He will be greatly missed by his brother Pat (Joan) and sister Jean, as well as his sons Bill (Rosina) and Dan (Aamina), and daughters Maureen (Dave) and Michelle (Alejandro), and his grandchildren, who all made him proud. Sadly missed by his companion, Lucille Hillier-Kean, as well as his nephews and niece, and his many friends and neighbours. Born in Cranbrook, B.C., Terry spent most of his life happily on the Currie homestead near Panmure, ON. As a young man he enjoyed baseball and hunting. He graduated from SS#3, a one-room schoolhouse on the 3rd Line, to attend Arnprior DHS, and from there to St. Patrick’s College in Ottawa. He began his career teaching in Chesley, Ontario, but soon returned to the Valley to teach French at Almonte DHS. There he made life-long friends, and had many happy years teaching and enthusiastically coaching football. That was also where he met a young fellow teacher, Shirley, whom he pursued until she happily agreed to marry. As a ‘hobby’ farmer, Terry spent many hours on the tractor, with a chainsaw, and repairing fences. His retirement from teaching did not mean a retirement from football or farming, and he spent many further seasons coaching his beloved Thunderbolts, as well as briefer stints with the Arnprior Redmen and West Carleton Wolverines. He helped found Almonte Celtfest and Almonte Alumni to support the school. Always full of life, Terry loved to dance, especially Ottawa Valley square dancing, and was an inveterate traveler who was always planning his next trip. Terry had a life-long passion for telling the story of the people of the Ottawa Valley. He was awarded the Canada 125 medal for his history of St. Peter Celestine’s church in Pakenham, Rock of Faith. He earned his M.A. in history from U. of Ottawa in 2005; the result of his studies was the book The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870.

Terry became a regular member of the Fitzroy Township Historical Society, serving as President and Past President. He often gave tours of St. Peter Celestine’s.

Friends may pay their respects at C. R. Gamble Funeral Home & Chapel Inc. (127 Church St., Almonte, ON. (613-256-3313) On Monday, July 1st, from 2:00 - 4:00 and 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. A funeral mass will take place at St. Peter Celestine’s Catholic Church, Pakenham, ON. Tuesday, July 2nd, at 11:00 a.m., followed by interment in Indian Hill Cemetery and a reception at the Stewart Community Centre, Pakenham. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Almonte Thunderbolts, via Thunderbolts Alumni, or the Terry Fox Foundation would be appreciated.

Love and best wishes from their family.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time or reason, Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows now many times, We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

We cannot bring the old days back, When we were all together, The family chain is broken now, But memories live forever.

A year has passed and it is still hard to believe that Keith is gone. The support that we have received from family and friends is what has helped us to get through each day.

He had such a presence about him.

If you met him you remembered him, if you knew him you loved him.

We have missed Keith every day and will miss him every day until we see him again. What we wouldn’t do for one more kiss, one more hug, one more smile, one more laugh, one more rev of the engine or beep of the horn, one more, “ I love you” one more “I love you Mom.” Always on our minds, forever in our hearts, loved beyond words.

50th Wedding Anniversary for Marjorie and Wayne Evoy

In loving memory of David Brown July 4, 2016 It’s only been a few short years, But it feels like yesterday, As we miss and love you so very much.

They say time heals but it’s not what we are finding.

We gave to you our love, you can only guess How much you gave to us in happiness.

We thank you for the love you have shown.

But now it’s time for you travel alone.

So we will grieve for you, for grieve we must.

Then let our grief be comforted by trust.

It’s only for a while that we must part, We miss and love you so very much.

Though we can no longer see or touch you, Your lasting smile is forever, Now God has you in his keeping, And we have you in our hearts.

Love and so missed Mom, Dad, Cath, Steve, Taylor and Bryson

WATT, David 1957 - 2008 45 years ago we took our vows “Till death do us part”.

For some today is just another day.

For me it marks 11 years since I held you for the last time.

As I watched you slip away.

The pain of losing you, is as real today as it was then.

I look at our daughters; in them I find strength; a need to move on, a girl and a boy our family has grown. A life without you is all they’ve known.

None on earth can take your place, You are gone but will never be forgotten.

Happy Anniversary Sending you all my love.
