Smiths Falls has an iconic water tower in Centennial Park. Trouble is, it has reached the end of its life. At plus-90 years of age, the water tower’s life expectancy is pushing the limits, and this summer it sprung two leaks. On Monday, Nov. 6 during a town council meeting, engineer Sarah Gore from J. L. Richards, spoke about the study’s phase one options that the town has for its potable water supply without going into the dollar figures – which will be revealed at the end of phase two of the project. An inspection of the water tower last year revealed that there are a number of upgrades to address including structural, coating and safety deficiencies. The study also looked at the growth of the town, as formulated with numbers from the Official Plan. An Environmental Assessment of the work is required for projects corresponding to municipal infrastructure projects like roads, water and wastewater developments. Troy Dunlop, the town’s director of public works and utilities, reiterated to council the tower’s ladder and handrail do not meet the National Building Code or the Ontario Building Code. In previous reports, it was noted that the cost to bring the tank up to standards is estimated at $1.6 million. A glaring deficiency in the town’s potable water supply is that the storage capacity does not meet basic requirements, Gore stated in her presentation. See WATER page SF2

Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour puts magic back into holiday season BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com For several years, Carleton Place residents Christine and Jim Glutek have been lovingly restoring their brown brick Victorian home. On Dec. 2-3, all of their efforts will be revealed during the sixth annual Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour. The home, which the Gluteks have owned for five years, is tucked away in the heart of town and inside, it’s a vintage and shabby chic paradise. Warm white paint coats the walls, with silver, natural and blush accents, while Christine’s talents with her furniture refurbishing business can be found on tables, chairs and hutches. Chandeliers, from which shiny glass ornaments dangle, cast an elegant light in nearly every room of the home, which also includes a newly renovated kitchen with the original servants’ staircase. Foregoing the traditional wallpaper, Christine and Jim opted to adorn the walls with pages of old books to add another eye-pleasing element. Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks, who has a deep love for the holiday season, has been hoping to secure the Glutek home for the tour for quite some time. “I’ve wanted her to do the tour for a few years,” Tunks noted. “Christine volunteered at my house a few years ago and once I walked into her house, I knew she had to be on it.” And there was no hesitation from Christine, who noted the fall and winter seasons are her favourites. Glittered garlands festooned with antique baubles and ornaments adorn window frames and furniture pieces in the home. “Around the holidays, there’s always such a magical feeling you get when all of the lights and everything is up,” she explained. “It makes me feel like a kid again.” Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks likens Christine’s style to that of shabby chic designer Rachel Ashwell. “I think she gives Rachel Ashwell a run for her money. I really do,” she said. “She breathes new life into things.” “She’s my inspiration,” Christine said of Ashwell. “I follow a lot of decorating blogs as well. This is my passion.” “It’s an elegant shabby chic and we want to give people an opportunity to see a nice, cozy house,” she added. “That’s why I like going on the tour – to get ideas and see what other people are doing.”

Ashley Kulp/Metroland

Jim and Christine Glutek relax in the sitting room of their Victorian home at 73 Beckwith St. in Carleton Place. Having the vision to see the potential in an imperfect piece of furniture or a forgotten item is one of Christine’s talents. That passion led her to establish Shabby Chick, her painting and refinishing business. She often scours antique sales and auctions to scoop up unique and vintage pieces. “That creativity is amazing; to look at something and see the potential,” remarked Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Robyn Arseneau. The house tour has served as a fundraiser for the CPDMH Foundation over the past five years, bringing in $33,968.95, which supports purchasing patient care equipment needed at the hospital. The tour has quickly become the hospital foundation’s signature Christmas event. “This tour has been growing year after year, with the first year’s event netting $3,242.28, growing to $10,968.83 last year,” she stated. “We’re confident that this year will be our biggest year yet!” Arseneau said funds raised from this year’s tour will go towards the hospital’s most pressing need – a $305,000 cardiac monitor. Eight homes (with two bonus locations) of different styles and décor are on offer this year, with a few changes.

Build a Mountain of Food campaign off and running for 2017 season

SMITHS FALLS NISSAN

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweri@metroland.com

This year’s 11th annual Build a Mountain of Food campaign was off and running over the weekend in Almonte and Carleton Place with 15,592 pounds of food collected and $2,400 in cash donations. “It was a great start to the campaign,” said Hugh Colton, organizer of this Hinton Auto Group food drive. The campaign serves food banks in 11 communities over a period of six Saturdays leading up to Christmas, the busiest time of the year for food banks. Set up at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer (YIG) in Almonte, and at Mitchell’s YIG, FreshCo, and Giant Tiger in Carleton Place, the campaign benefits the Lanark County Food Bank’s Hunger Stop. The best part about this drive, Colton said, is that every item, can, bottle, or bag of food stays in the community where it’s collected, as does every dollar raised. “We’re going to be taking this Saturday (Nov. 11) off to respect Remembrance Day,” Colton said. “And then we’ll pick up the following Saturday, Nov. 18, in Lanark and in Perth.” From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Colton will be at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s YIG, Foodsmiths, and Giant Tiger, where donations will support the Perth Good Food Bank, located at The Table Community Food Centre. The campaign will also run in Lanark on Nov.

A new event for Build a Mountain was the Jail and Bail held at Carleton Place’s Walmart and at YIG where cash and food donations totalled nearly 700 pounds and $500 for the cause. “I have a new partner,” Colton said. “Elmo may be joining me for the rest of the campaign, so that will be fun for the kids to see.” Colton thanked the Jessome family from Carleton Place on their initiative to bring Elmo out for the cause. Overall, Colton said he’s looking forward to the rest of the campaign as the donations have started to flood in. He’s also putting finishing touches on some local Santa Claus parades and hopes to take part in two on Dec. 2 – in Perth for 5 p.m. and in Athens for 7 p.m. See BAM PAGE 6

CGDB seeks puppy local puppy raisers Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking volunteer puppy raisers in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. This is a long-term volunteer commitment of 12 to 18 months. The volunteer raises the puppy in their home, teaching basic obedience and socialization. However, the unique part of this volunteer position is taking the puppy nearly everywhere you go. Support is provided from professional staff from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. You’ll need to be able to spend most of the day with the puppy, not leaving it alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. These pups are raised with the intention of being with someone 24/7 as a working guide dog. Pups are placed into homes at approximately eight weeks of age, so you will be housebound for a short time. Once the puppy’s vaccinations are in place, around four months of age, you will be asked to take the puppy anywhere you go and introduce it to as many environments and situations as possible, that it may later encounter as a guide dog. If you work outside of the home, you would start with a 16-week old puppy, so that vaccinations are in place and you can take the puppy to work and public areas immediately. You are expected to take the pup for daily long walks in all weather conditions, so an active lifestyle is preferred. This is a unique volunteer opportunity, and you could help play a role in changing someone’s life. Would you be a suitable candidate for a volunteer position like this? The main thing is that the pup not be left at home alone all day. Current volunteers include stay-at-home par-

Puppy raisers, who are employed full-time and have permission from their employer, can have the puppy in the workplace. It’s a great way for a company to show their philanthropic spirit, and to boost morale, as employees encounter a cute little puppy at work on a daily basis. All food, supplies, and veterinary expenses are provided by the organization. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to work as a guide dog. Email info@guidedogs.ca or call (613) 6927777 for more information on how you can help.

The Table hosts second ‘Sleep A Night Under My Roof’ training day Nov. 22 On Nov. 22, the Table Community Food Centre will be hosting a free allday workshop for front line workers and service providers called Sleep A Night Under My Roof. The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Perth Lion’s Hall and will include yummy healthy snacks and a delicious luncheon prepared by the Twisted Fork. The Table held a similar event back in May of this year, and received such positive feedback that they decided to run it again, so that those who missed it the first time might have a chance to participate. This time, in addition to service organizations from Lanark County, service providers in Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa, along with local MPs, MPPs and town councils, are invited to participate. This initiative is funded through the Law Foundation of Ontario, and is a Connecting Communities program designed to help raise awareness of, and educate front line workers on tenant and housing rights under the law, by providing participants with firsthand knowledge of the issues community members face related to housing. The training, developed by event co-ordinators Vicki MacMillan and Tracey Parker, is based on the popular Homelessness Maze, an experiential learning activity first created by the Canadian Mental Health Association and further adapted by local Health Units and Algonquin College Perth for use across Ontario. To ensure the relevance and accuracy of the training, the Table is working with local people with lived experience, along with event partners — the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Legal Clinic, Lanark County Interval House, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit and YAK — to provide input on the scenarios. Participants will also receive a resource booklet that they can take back to their agencies after the workshop, designed as an easy-to-share information source for co-workers and others. The morning portion of the workshop will be devoted to a role-play activity designed to give participants the opportunity to not only learn but experience the housing issues faced by many low-income community members. Participants will each be given a character and background story, and proceed to work their way through “the system” by visiting relevant agencies, set up in kiosks around the room. This will be followed by a whole-group discussion to reflect upon the experience by identifying and exploring the feelings, issues, obstacles and challenges confronted by their character. After lunch, a representative from the legal clinic will provide basic but important information about housing law and the Residential Tenancies Act including such topics as: evictions, maintenance and repairs, harassment and discrimination, rent increases, moving out, tenant belongings and

more, tailored to the issues and challenges identified during the morning activity. The workshop session will end with a debrief about the day, along with feedback about how participants can use the training materials and resource booklet. There will be opportunities for open discussion with legal clinic staff throughout the day, so participants can ask questions and discuss future collaboration and partnership opportunities with the clinic. In addition to workshop partici-

pants, the Table is recruiting relevant agencies to participate as service providers in the role play, which would involve interacting with participants and providing the information and referrals as during a normal day at their agency. Interested service providers would need to bring materials explaining what their service does, along with intake forms and other relevant documents. The Sleep a Night initiative will also bring participants of the first event in May back to a second half-day ses-

sion on Nov. 23, to take place at the Perth library. At this session participants will discuss the successes they have had using the legal information gained through the training, provide a unique opportunity to receive further feedback, input as to the usefulness of the training materials, to raise new issues, and to learn about other local resources. Reconvening the group will also provide an opportunity for participants to network and collaborate in relation to a range of issues includ-

ing housing-related community action initiatives, future training opportunities, and building professional supports. If you are a front line worker and service provider who is interested in attending please register at Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ sleep-a-night-under-my-roof-tickets38298405562?aff=es2 Contact the event co-ordinators at housing@thetablecfc.org for further information or questions.

“I’m still trying to work out the logistics of that one, but it’s doable,” he said. “It will be the first time for the Athens parade. I’d like to do them all, but it’s just impossible.” The BAM float will make its way to the Carleton Place parade Nov. 25 at 5 p.m. and on Nov. 27 he be at the CP Holiday Train when it makes its way to Smiths Falls and to Perth that evening. Colton will also make an appearance with the float at the Perth BIA’s Light up the Night at Crystal Palace on Dec. 1.

Bring your family to Crystal Palace at 6 p.m. to enjoy a roaring bonfire, carolling, hot food and at 6:30 p.m., spectacular fireworks behind the Crystal Palace. Immediately after the fireworks the Crystal Palace will be open, so walk inside and see beautiful 40-plus Christmas trees. The Hinton Auto Group Build a Mountain of Food Christmas Parade Float will be on hand that evening. Bring the kids to see this fabulous float decked out in thousands of lights. Don't forget to bring a donation for the food bank. On Dec. 9, Colton will wrap up his parade list with the Smiths Falls Santa Claus parade.

COMMENTARY

Stay safe this hunting season

unting Season is upon us and the Leeds Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) encourages hunters to learn and adhere to the following list of rules when hunting in Leeds County. All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (a minimum of 400 square inches or 2,580 square centimetres above the waist) and a hunter orange head cover during gun seasons for deer, moose and elk. Outside the gun seasons for deer, moose and elk these requirements also apply to bear hunters who are not hunting from a tree stand. Handle firearms with care and attention at all times. Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what lies beyond it. It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle or carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle, to discharge a firearm from or across the travelled portion of a right of way for public vehicular traffic. In many parts of Ontario it is also illegal to have a loaded firearm, or discharge a firearm, in any part of the right of way. Firearms must be unloaded and safely secured (in a locked cabinet with a lock on the

trigger) when not being used and ammunition must also be safely secured and stored. Failing to do so is against the law! And above all else, never drink alcohol and hunt. General safety planning * Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning; * Know the weather conditions in your hunting area and dress accordingly; * In an emergency, stay calm and stay put; * Avoid hypothermia. Know how to treat it if it strikes; * Keep hydrated and well nourished; * Carry a survival kit and a small first aid kit with you at all times; * Know how to build a fire in all weather conditions and carry the supplies to start one; and, * Carry a map and compass or GPS unit and know how to use them. To report unlawful night hunting or any other illegal and unsafe hunting activity, call the MNRF TIPS Line at 1-877-847-7667 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household T here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew county. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone!

65 Lorne Street, P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 613-283-3182 Toll-free 1-800-267-7936 Published weekly by:

The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat "biscuits," divided by cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course, so that the biscuits wouldn’t be broken.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be done away with. But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with

string. I could spend many an hour just sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt. The cards came with a little hole in one corner, and if you wanted to, you could put in a piece of string through the hole. But I could never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added to the cards. The little loaves of Shredded Wheat weren’t individually wrapped, of course. They just sat one on top of the other inside the box. As well as loving the cards, I also loved it when

the box was empty, and I could lay claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that. And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the little loaves, drain the bowl, and then add the cream and brown sugar. The rest of the family thought it was a real treat. Of course, Father would still have to have his fried potatoes and salt pork. It didn’t take long for the Shredded Wheat boxes to become battered and so I would have to tear it down into flat pieces. It was then added to the wood box, along the side where Father kept old copies of the

Renfrew Mercury and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go to help start the Findlay Oval in the morning. Like everything else that came into the house, be it from the general store, or from Renfrew, or from the garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of Father’s favourite sayings “waste not ... want not,” could be even applied to the Shredded Wheat boxes that on rare occasions came into our house.

Labrador land protectors discuss indigenous rights in Perth Nov. 22 As part of a provincewide speaking tour, in \ dividuals representing the Labrador Land Protectors — a group who are trying to stop the threat posed to a number of indigenous nations by a massive hydro project at Muskrat Falls, Labrador — will speak at a free public presentation Wednesday, Nov. 22 at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West, at 7 p.m. Organized by the Ontario Muskrat Solidarity Committee and supported locally by Lanark Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation, the evening will discuss the issues surrounding the $12.7-billion project, which is backed by over $9 billion in federal loan guarantees even though it has doubled from its original price, and will likely cost even more if completed. A significant concern is whether the dam will hold, given a substantial portion is being built on quick clay (sand subject to liquefaction under pressure), as well as the flooding of sacred territories. In addition, during the fall of 2016, Harvard University produced a report documenting the alarming rates of methylmercury poisoning that could be expected if specific mitigation measures were not undertaken at Muskrat Falls (especially clearance of vegetation, trees and soil in a large area slated for the dam’s reservoir). The issue of mercury poisoning’s severe impact on Indigenous people is well known in Ontario because of the international attention focused on the Grassy Narrows community. For indigenous people and settlers living in Labrador, poisoning of traditional food webs that include seal, fish and other creatures would likely have a devastat-

Great afternoon of nostalgia at Station Theatre It’s happening this weekend on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. The Continentals are back at The Station Theatre for an afternoon of good music, good memories, lots of hand clapping and foot stomping. All proceeds go to The Smiths Falls Food Bank. With just a little bit of pride, Dennis Staples says the band was formed in 1964 - that’s over half a century ago - and is considered “one of the oldest and longest performing bands in the area.” Anyone in that age range, with a little memory nudge, can probably recall the band playing at high schools, colleges, bars, hotels and arenas throughout eastern Ontario. And does anyone remember the dances - jive, swing, twist, and shimmy.

Bets are the music is more familiar than the steps! The Continentals come out for a good time but they also come out to give back to the community. This performance is for the food bank, but they’ve donated their time and talent to many fundraisers. This Sunday three of the original Continentals will play: Paul Hanrahan, Art Lee, and Staples. They’ll be joined by Dave White for a memorable, and memory-full afternoon. Thursday night before the fundraiser, Film Night International presents Frantz at 7 p.m. at the Theatre. After the First World War, a young woman, mourning the death of her fiancé, encounters a mysterious Frenchman laying flowers on her beloved’s grave.

The movie plays with English subtitles. Film Night International's profits, after expenses, are donated to the Perth and Smiths Falls public libraries. Individual tickets may be available at the theatre box office 15 minutes prior to screening time. On Nov. 17 and 18, Wind River is playing at the theatre at 7 p.m. The movie is rated R (strong violence, disturbing images and language). It’s been tagged as a chilling thriller 1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com that follows a rookie FBI agent who hooks up with a local game tracker to investigate the murder of a local girl on a remote Native presents American reservation in the hopes of solving her mysterious death. Tickets are available at the Holly Jolly Art Sale the door, first come, first seated. Fine Art & Gifts Submitted by Smiths Falls Community Theatre

What about my indigenous sisters and brothers who wonder if their children and grandchildren will be born with developmental concerns, and those who wonder if the dam, built on clay and sand, will hold.” Morrissey notes that forcing Inuit and Innu to turn away from eating their traditional foods will not only affect their culture, but also pose the economic challenge of purchasing exorbitantly-priced store-bought foods. “And even if they can, how will this affect their ties to the land? In turn, how will this affect the culture?” The Perth speaking event takes place two days before Prime Minister Trudeau will travel to the province to deliver an apology to Labrador residential school survivors. Some of those survivors are among the three dozen indigenous and non-

indigenous protectors who have been criminally charged for peaceful acts of protest, including one journalist facing contempt of court proceedings for covering the issue (a case which has drawn the attention of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression). Also speaking at the Perth panel

will be Emily Philpott, originally from Newfoundland, who is researching the movement against Muskrat Falls and local perspectives on the environmental, social, cultural, and health and safety impacts the Muskrat Falls project will have for people in Labrador. A local perspective on Indigenous resistance will be presented by Mireille LaPointe, a member of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation community who sits as Head of Family on the Heads of Family Council. “A historic community, Ardoch has taken uncompromising positions in defending the Land, manoomin [wild rice] and water from extractive interests,” Lapointe says.

sudoku

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!

Truth about JFK’s slaying unlikely to be revealed The date Friday, Nov. 22, 1963 is forever etched on my mind. I was an elementary school student in Stittsville when we heard the shocking news that United States’ President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been shot to death in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis the year before had taken him from the Second World War hero (the PT 109 story) to the status of much revered international figure. It didn’t seem possible that someone of his stature could have their life snuffed out — just like that. The events that followed, the lying in state, the slaying of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on live television and what, at the time, was the most watched funeral in history have not faded with the passage of time. At least they haven’t left my memory! On Oct. 26, less than a month before the 54th anniversary, JFK’s assassination was back in the news. Most of the remaining files related to Kennedy’s murder were released on the authority of current President Donald Trump. However, at the last minute Trump bowed to pressure from the CIA, FBI and other American agencies who successfully argued that certain Kennedy files should be withheld for further study based on “national security, law enforcement and foreign affairs concerns.” They’ve been given an additional 180 days to review those documents. I come from a family of news addicts. Back in November and December of 1963 my mother collected everything written about the Kennedy assassination. She kept all of the daily newspapers and purchased the many magazines filled with Kennedy coverage. Later I’m sure she was among the first to buy the early books written about the president’s slaying. Among them is a volume entitled The

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Torch Is Passed which is the Associated Press telling of the assassination and its aftermath. Included are Oswald’s slaying and the transition to the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ). As the oldest child in our family and someone who has an intense interest in this subject, that material was eventually handed down to me. I’ve reread it all and watched every television documentary and film dedicated to the Kennedy assassination. I’ve also read many of the literally hundreds of books written on the subject. At the beginning, like most people, I believed the sequence of events and the roles of the alleged participants, as outlined by virtually every news agency. To me there was no question Oswald was a “lone nut assassin” as he has so often been characterized. It was grief stricken Dallas strip club owner Jack Ruby who, in a fit of revenge-fueled rage, snuffed out the killer’s life just two days later. Today, despite much evidence to the contrary, many still believe the original information about the assassination. On Nov. 29, 1963 LBJ announced the formation of the “President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.” It is commonly called the ‘Warren Commission,’ named for its chair the late Chief Justice Earl Warren.

Questionable report In September 1964 the Warren Commission issued an 889-page report. Two months later it released 26 volumes of supporting documents including testimony or depositions from 552 witnesses and over 3,000 exhibits. The commission concluded that both Oswald and Ruby acted alone. However, based on everything I have read, watched and heard I’m no longer among those who believe what I call “the sanitized version of events.” The details contained in The Torch Is Passed for example. Conspiracy theories relative to JFK’s slaying are a dime a dozen. Everyone from the Russians, to the Cubans, to organized crime and even jealous husbands and boyfriends (we now know Kennedy was a notorious womanizer) remain suspects. But if anyone cares to delve into the details there is more than enough evidence available to give even the most ardent Warren Report supporter pause. After reading endless books and articles and studying documented testimony, which has rarely been the focus of the mainstream media, I believe it’s clear that Oswald at least did not act alone. Did he even pull the trigger that fateful afternoon in Dallas? There is documented and compelling evidence to the contrary. The Warren Commission had that evidence but failed to include it in their final report. I believe the members began with a conclusion already in mind. Nothing could dissuade them from their version of events despite sworn testimony from credible witnesses which totally debunks their theories. Ruby’s role, as outlined in the report, seems clear enough. But read the actual evidence presented to the commission and you will be left wondering. Yes, he shot Oswald. But there is so much more to Jack Ruby’s story.

All of this and much more is carefully laid out in what I consider to be the best book ever written about the Kennedy assassination. Entitled Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission the Authorities and the Report on the JFK Assassination it is a masterful dissection of the Warren Report and totally contradicts the commission’s findings. Authored by the late Sylvia Meagher the volume was first published in 1967 but reprinted many times. It’s easily available to this day. Read it and you’ll see why I long ago changed my mind about the official report on JFK’s murder. Meagher did not depend on speculation, innuendo or wild conspiracy theories. Instead she studied all of the evidence presented to the commission and discovered critical gaps. Testimony and evidence withheld from the public which clearly points away from the lone gunman theory on which the Warren Report is totally dependent. When I finished Meagher’s book I was convinced Oswald was exactly what he told the assembled reporters in the Dallas police lock-up immediately after his arrest. He said he was “a patsy.” The files released late last month were retained under the JFK Records Act, a public law passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law on Oct. 26, 1992. The act states that all remaining files were to be opened to public scrutiny exactly 25 years later. Files or no files I doubt we’ll ever know what really happened. But to me one thing is certain. The Warren Report isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. I’m frustrated that the truth behind what remains the most shocking event of my lifetime is unlikely to be revealed. Not in 180 days, not ever! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com

Montague Public School plants 600 flower bulbs Pupils from the Eco Team, in association with the Ontario EcoSchools Program, at Montague Public School in Smiths Falls planted 600 flower bulbs in their school garden. With help from Kathleen Lang and Steve Svarckopf, our master gardeners from the Smith Falls Horticultural Society the gardens and bushes at the front of the school have been given a thorough cleansing to support the planting of the bulbs. These flower bulbs were given to them by Bulbs4Kids, a program that is allowing the team to become familiar with flower bulbs and the world of nature in way that is also a lot of fun. When the tulips, crocuses, daffodils and grape hyacinths start blooming early in the spring, this school garden will be bursting with colour. The Eco Team from Montague, signed up last summer to receive a flower bulb kit. This class is one of 150 classes in Canada, 400 classes in the Netherlands, 1,050 classes in Germany and 850 classes in England that will be participating in the Bulbs4Kids project. Since each kit contains 600 flower bulbs, almost 1.5 million flower bulbs will be planted in school gardens. More and more studies are confirming the beneficial effects that the natural world has on our health. Playing in a natural environment and having hands-on experiences with plants contributes to the healthy balanced development of children. It makes children smarter, fitter and more creative. This is why Bulbs4Kids decided to offer 150 free Bulbs4Kids kits to Canadian elementary schools; together with the Eco Team, a Bulbs4Kids kit helps

WATER TOWER

From FRONT page

The town needs to be able to store 6,281 cubic metres of water right now and it only has the capacity 1,820 m3 in both the reservoir at the water treatment plant and the elevated tank (water tower) combined. It’s projected – via the growth of the town within its boarders – that the town will need 7,251m3 in 20 years, with a further projection of 10,466 m3 from build-out. “The total storage capacity is significantly lower than current and future MOECC recommendations,” Gore stated in her report.

“Generally speaking, the system is achieving all required water quality standards,” Gore said. “But the system does not meet potable water storage requirements … which is not uncommon.” Gore said there is about four hours available during a maximum day demand – for instance, if a fire were to break out at the same time as a water main break occurred. There would be enough water to run about four hours currently. “A potable water storage solution is needed for the next 20 years and beyond,” she said. Gore also provided alternative solutions, but council agreed that this

is something that needs to happen now and “let’s get it done right,” said Coun. Dawn Quinn. Many councillors, including Mayor Shawn Pankow, said they’d hate to see the iconic water tower decommissioned, but they wanted to look at all the options. Gore stated that there are ways to keep the old tower intact, and build a new tower, either beside it or at a different location – that’s just one of many options. Coun. Chris Cummings said the location of the tower was probably the best-case scenario when it was built, but perhaps not so much now. “There is a lot happening down at that park

now,” he said. Other options include building below-grade reservoir and pumping station, or an at-grade project. Quinn further stated that it was time to get rolling on this project, and “we have to see the cost comparison.” Phase two of the project will include evaluating alternative solutions, identifying a preferred plan, a public information meeting and a town meeting in December. Gore said she has been working closely with both Dunlop, and Ted Joynt, superintendent of utilities for the Town of Smiths Falls to come up with the best plan for the town’s water tower.

Salvation Army struggles with declining volunteers BY EVELYN HARFORD

ehardford@metroland.com

Ahead of the holiday season, the Salvation Army Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps — which serves local communities — is struggling with declining volunteer numbers ahead of their annual Kettle Campaign fundraiser. This year, the number of volunteers have dropped by about 20 from 60 the previous year. Heddy Sorour, the Kettle Campaign coordinator, said the decline will impact the organization’s ability to collect money used to fund local programs. Sorour said she believes the decline is in part because some of the former volunteers have passed away, are sick, or have moved to a nursing home and have changed their phone numbers — meaning the Salvation Army cannot contact them. “I think a lot of people have moved to cellphones and they’ve dropped their land lines,” said Sorour. “We might have run into that issue.” The lower volunteer numbers this year means donation numbers may be less than they could be with more help, which could impact the services the Salvation Army provides. “People don’t know what the Salvation Army does — and they do an enormous amount,” said Sorour. The Kettle Campaign is the main fundraiser for the charity. The money raised by the Salvation Army through their annual

holiday campaign goes toward facilitating the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), landlord advocacy, fuel cost relief and advocacy, the emergency food bank, emergency clothing and furniture, relocation and temporary housing, community lunches and special occasions, kids summer camps, Christmas hampers, angel trees, thrift stores and emergency response — including the Pearl Street fire. Last year, even with 60 volunteers, the local charity had to scale back the annual holiday season campaign — which includes over 600 two-hour volunteer shifts — due to the volunteer numbers. “Last year, we did not man the kettles for the 600-plus hours. We couldn’t. We didn’t have enough volunteers,” said Sorour. “Sixty people is not enough. We ended up closing kettles early, which would catch the 6 to 8 p.m. crowd. We could only go to 6 p.m. at some locations.” The Salvation Army Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps brought in $244,510 for both the kettles and the letter-writing campaign during the 2016 holiday — down about three per cent from last year’s total of $251,166. In 2016, Smiths Falls’ kettles brought $54,922.23 into the Salvation Army’s coffers — down $4,285.77 from the year before, according to data provided to the Record News in a presentation their annual Bell Ringer Trophy Awards last January. The drop in donations seen this year isn’t unique — it’s part of a larger trend observed by the local Salvation Army during their Kettle Campaign that could ultimately have

an impact on the front-line services the chapter provides. “It means that we really have to watch what we can do; it impacts sending the kids to camp, the food bank,” said Maj. Gary Reilly. “The thrift stores are there all year round and will help. So, that makes up a little bit for the shortfall. But, wages are going up, so that will cut into the bottom line.” The Salvation Army is calling out to the public for help with the campaign, which kicks off on Nov. 17. “If you have two hours in the week to spare, to sit at a kettle, we would love to hear from you,” said Sorour. “We would love to have some younger people, and I realize everybody’s working, but if you can, give us two hours on an evening or on the weekend.” Sorour points out that high school students can chip away at their required volunteer hours through the holiday season. “You can get your 40 hours in one season, easily,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity.” Most of the Salvation Army’s work is done by volunteers — they’re the worker bees of the organization. Most have also been either helped directly by the organization or have had a family member who has been helped through their services. “I think a lot of our volunteers have had it touch their lives, and I think that’s how either they’re directly now involved or as a child. We hear that so much,” said Debbie Lafleur, the community and family service worker for the Ontario Central-East Division. If you’re interested in volunteering, call 613-283-3563.

RDHS students raise funds for Kingston Youth Shelter Students at Rideau District High School have raised more than $530 for the Kingston Youth Shelter through an innovative civics exercise. The exercise, completed in Katherine Day’s Grade 10 civics class, saw students research charities and vote on the ones they felt most deserving of their support. After selecting the Kingston Youth Shelter, the students discussed ways to raise funds and supplies for the shelter. A cake auction and toiletries drive were organized. Students made posters, issued daily announcements, and delivered decorated donation boxes to all classrooms. They also addressed other classes to gain donations for the

cause. Students then organized a cake auction fundraiser and collected ten full boxes of toiletries to support shelter clients. “At the end of the project, when the donation boxes were filled, the cakes were sold, and the money was counted, the students realized they had made a difference and their voices had been heard,” explained Day of the value of the exercise. “I believe the students found it very empowering.” A representative of the shelter visited the school on Monday to collect the donations and talk about the shelter’s important work.

SEATS for Kids holds clinic here BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

Safety comes first, especially when you’re talking about child passenger safety. “We don’t realize putting a child in a car is a really dangerous thing, and we do it every day,” said Ashley Byrnes, facilitator and SEATS for Kids board member, in attendance at their first car seat inspection clinic held in the County Fair Mall’s parking lot in Smiths Falls on Tuesday, Oct. 3. The organization has previously done clinics in Kingston and Brockville. Byrnes reported that of 80 inspections at both the Kingston and Brockville locations, 100 per cent of car seat inspections in Kingston required adjustment and 94 per cent of those inspected in Brockville needed adjustment. According to SEATS for Kids, 90 per cent of car seats are installed improperly. A properly installed car seat can reduce the risk of serious injury or death by as much as 71 per cent, according to the organization. Ashley Flynn, a local mother to

five-month-old Grace, said the clinic helped her understand where the straps should be, how to properly install the seat, and how to properly secure her child. She said the group also helped provide tips for securing her child in the winter when dressed in a snowsuit. “It’s great that they have it here,” she said. The car seats, once adjusted by a technician, is checked twice more before it leaves the car seat clinic. Technicians will teach you how to install and properly use your seat in your vehicle with your child. The Smiths Falls Police Service (SFPS) was also out doing spot safety checks of vehicles along Brockville Street in conjunction with the clinic. Byrnes said the idea behind the police checkpoint is to bring importance to child passenger safety. “The biggest thing is, we want to make sure the kids are safely secured,” said Const. Aaron Tompkins, SFPS’ community safety officer. He said it’s important to know when a car seat needs to be replaced and what impact an accident or even dropping a car seat can have on its effectiveness to do its job.

Growth 'highest priority' as Montague develops strategic plan BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

While strategic plans might seem like boring bureaucratic exercise for some, for Jasmin Ralph, Montague Township’s clerk, they’re pretty darned exciting. Montague is in the process of developing its first strategic plan which bring together and incorporate the studies, development plans and overarching vision and mission for the township – including the municipality's current asset management plan, roads study, plan for growth, the Official Plan and zoning bylaws as well as public consultation. “We have all this stuff, and right now they work independently,” said Ralph. The goal is to take all aspects of municipal planning tools, feedback and research, connect them and pick out action items on how to take all of the township's plans and get them to work together. The intent is to make the plans more digestible for staff, council and the public as to how everything works together, and how the township can actually take concrete action to work on them, rather than having the studies that have been conducted become shelf-bound. “I’m really excited about it,” said Ralph. “It’s going really well.” So far, the township has developed their mission vision and is currently analyzing all the information they have on hand to hone in on the major themes, including sustainability – which

Ralph said surrounding municipalities have seen rapid growth in recent years, and it’s time that Montague get in on the action. Growth “Beckwith has grown exponentially,” she said. “And I think we’re ready.” Ralph explained that Montague is part of “the triangle” – something she said Reeve Bill Dobson always talks about, meaning Montague, Kemptville and Beckwith form a triangle. The neighbouring municipalities have seen great growth, and now it’s Montague’s turn, she said. Dobson said after the first two sessions discussing the strategic plan, growth looks to be highest priority for the township. “We’re right next to Upper Dwyer Hill Road,” said Ralph. “I actually used to live in the city of Ottawa and community out here. It’s really not that bad.” Ralph hopes more people will see the value in living farther away from the city. “I think more people are going to start to discover how awesome our rural lifestyle is and end up coming out here to live, rather than some of the closer-together subdivisions in Barrhaven,” she said. But part of growing means being attractive to developers, Ralph explained. “In order to attract a subdivision developments, we really have to think critically about how we deliver services and our land use policies … and how we can incorporate servicing in a concentration that attracts developers,” she said. Both Dobson and Ralph reported that town-

ship is in the process of assessing their longrange plan for water and waste water. “We are now gathering data and information from other studies and plans,” said Dobson. “We will be reviewing and updating them to ensure they coincide with the direction we want to go in now. “I feel we have made great progress with our first two strategic sessions. Both council and staff are working alongside each other, which adds both perspectives (to the process).” Dobson said the process began with a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis. “I think it is important to work on all four areas when we are finished our plan,” he said. “The plan must be met by action.” Dobson said the township is currently gathering data and information from other studies and plans. Dobson said that other information like demographic and growth analysis is relevant to the overall strategic plan, and is also pertinent to compare past visioning and priorities to the present vision and priorities. “We will be reviewing and updating them to ensure they coincide with the direction we want to go in now,” he said. “All our plans like infrastructure plan, asset management plans, and long range financial plans can and do change over time.” Ralph said she wants to make sure that the township’s strategic plan clearly states how the action items and priorities are going to be implemented, when they’re going to be implemented, so people can be held accountable for making those decisions. “It is really easy for a strategic plan to become a shelf filler, it really is,” she said. “You

But Ralph said she doesn’t want to put any expectations on what she wants to hear. The online survey will likely be released in January. “I really want people to provide us feedback on what they want to see us do,” she said. “And ask questions about services that we don’t have and that they would be interested in that maybe we could play a role in providing.” Childcare and recreation are two services she believes should be addressed, as well as the future of Rosedale Hall.

Joanne Cleary-Keeling of Smiths Falls found this old ledger in the rafters while renovating her home, which was owned by Thomas Smyth in 1810. It is believed to be Smyth’s ledger, which dates back to the mid 1800s. Money was received for the purchase of lumber, and other building supplies, as well as eggs and salad. Some of those other names in the ledger include: John Dodds, Jason Gould, James Bordman, John Beckwith, William Simpson, Abel Ward and Walker Hyslop. Cleary-Keeling is not sure of the ledger’s purpose and would love to find more information about it. Please email ljweir@metroland.com if you have information.

Canada 150 medals

y mother isn’t here to write this column – so I’ll do it for her. I’m writing this on Monday, Nov. 6, the third anniversary of her death. My sister Dympna wrote on Facebook this morning that she thought that dealing with her mother’s death would get easier with time – it has not. If my mother were alive today, she’d have something to say about the Harvey Weinstein scandal engulfing Hollywood. She always had something to say. Something witty. Something withering in its scorn. Something smart. She might not quite have gotten the whole hashtag idea, nor would she have liked Twitter – nothing against technology, but there was no way anyone was going to restrict her to just 140 characters! The Weinstein scandal has spread – as of this writing – to several other prominent Hollywood figures, like Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman. But this is nothing new for my mother, sadly. One of her first jobs in Ontario in the early 1970s was working at the Brampton Golf Club as a waitress. She would serve Premier Bill Davis, and gently chide him for whatever had caught his government’s interest at Queen’s Park. They enjoyed a good banter. Davis, she said, treated her with respect. Which was more than could be said for many of the other men who teed off there, or worked with her. One day, she was making her way to the dining room, holding a tray laden with hot food and coffee. A man approached her and grabbed one of her breasts. Her response? She upended the entire tray on his head, hot liquid and all. He got the message, in no uncertain terms. But my mother had experienced this before, sadly. In August of 1965, the science fiction movie Dr. Who & The Daleks premiered. Shortly after its release, my grandmother set my mother up on a date with a young man. My guess, if the chronology is correct, is that she wanted to dissuade her from dating that young trainee mechanic from the central city (my dad) so, she was trying to show her other, supposedly better options. While the film was the biggest domestic moneymaker on British screens that year, my mother hated the movie. (Knowing this, my father made

Then, he started to make some lewd suggestions about how she could, ahem, thank him for the evening, nudge nudge, wink wink. She said no. He persisted. He would not relent. He pushed her up against a stone wall and tried to have his way with her. It was dark. Her hands felt along the wall, hoping for something, anything, that she could defend herself with. Then, she found it. The perfect weapon. A brick had started to come loose. While he was distracted, she pried the brick loose from the wall, and hit him across the face with it. She walked off, as he lay on the sidewalk, bleeding. My mother could have a sense of humour too when it came to putting men in their place. Another young man who “fancied” her in the Swinging Sixties in Ireland, was “bothering” her. “I’ll die without it (sex),” he said. She rolled her eyes. “No, really,” he said, starting in on a lie that he must have thought my mother would buy (he clearly didn’t know her that well.) “It’s a medical condition. If I don’t have it soon, I’ll die.” My mother thought about this for a minute. “How long do you have?” she asked. Caught off guard, he replied, “Eh, two weeks.” “OK then,” she said, getting up and walking away. He might have thought that he would get a second chance at life in two weeks, if he were thinking optimistically. My mother had other plans. Two weeks later, to the day, my mother, dressed in black, bearing flowers, showed up at his family home. His mother answered the door. “I’m sorry for your loss missus,” said my mother, extending the flowers to her.

Another of the eight homes featured is at 236 Lyndhurst Street, a custom side-split home opposite the Mississippi River.

HOUSE TOUR

From page 2

it’s a 19th century brown limestone home and its early 1800s character has been restored and features a ceiling with 24-foot original wood pegged log beams and four stone arched design fireplaces. Next up is 238 Lyndhurst Street, a custom side-split home opposite the Mississippi River. Built in 1964 for one of the founders of Leigh Instruments, the current homeowners have reconfigured its layout which features Prairie School and mid-century design elements. Built in approximately 1894, 92 Munro Street was originally owned by the Leach family and boasts wide plank pine flooring and stained glass. The current homeowners purchased it in 2016 and have added antiques and textiles from around the globe. A new, open concept bungalow with finished basement will be found at 136 Munro Street. A traditional Christmas decorating theme will be highlighted as well as the homeowners’ growing Santa collection. The Victorian brick home at 337 Moffatt Street still maintains most of its original glory with a few updates included a new kitchen added on several years ago. The homeowners’ impressive antique collection will be featured and the high ceilings provide ample space to showcase upwards of 15 Christmas trees. A Cape Cod style home is at 286 Oakland Crescent, Glen Isle. A brick faced bar welcomes guests into the

family room and it also includes a large designer kitchen. The lady of the house, a gifted designer, has created a comfortable home with a calming eclectic style. The final stop is 124 Wilson Street in Appleton, a stone mansion sitting on two acres, overlooking the Mississippi River. It was built by the Teskey brothers in the mid-1800s. Key features of this home include five fireplaces, five staircases and spacious high ceilings. Originally built with eight bedrooms, they have been reduced to five over the years and the accompanying carriage house provides a gym/games room wing. Tickets for the house tour are $25 per person and are available in Carleton Place at Carleton Place Nursery, The Beckwith Kitchen and the CDPMH gift shop; in Almonte at Crush Marketplace; in Merrickville at Windsor’s Courtyard; in Stittsville at Pretty Pots Flower Shop; as well as at Yarn Forward in Kanata, Tinseltown Emporium and Flowers Talk Tivoli. Several prizes will also be up for grabs, including gift certificates from The Beckwith Butcher, The Beckwith Kitchen, The Good Food Company and Smith and Barrel, as well as Ottawa Senators tickets and a Christmas décor gift basket curated by house tour organizers.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader questions amount of funds raised from parking infractions in town On the morning of Oct. 6 we parked on the west side of the parking lot at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Center off Cornelia Street West as we have done for ages. I got my mom’s walker from the trunk and we walked off. When we returned to the vehicle there was a parking ticket on the windshield. I looked at the ticket and it said something about “unauthorized parking” on municipal land or some such. I looked around and could not see any no parking or restricted parking signs in evidence. We went to the town hall and spoke to the receptionist who contacted the bylaw officer. She was on her way in so we waited. During the discussion the bylaw officer stated that there were signs at the entrance and elsewhere in the lot. She also stated that she watched us park (must have seen me remove the walker and also saw the disabled sticker on the windshield). She also stated that we walked right past the restricted parking sign. We returned to the lot to both try and locate any signage and take photos in case it went to court. The only sign in that lot was across from the entrance to the center, which

COLUMN

From page SF8

The lady of the house was bewildered. “Sure we’re not after losing anyone,” she said. “Unless there’s something that’s just happened.” My mother explained about her son’s imminent demise – and the cause behind it. The colour drained from her face as she heard what her son had been up to. “Oh I see now,” she said, looking down at the flowers. “Well, there may be indeed a funeral in this house soon, when I’m done with that little bollox. Either way, he won’t bother you again.” The door closed, and my mother was halfway down the garden path, when she could hear the mother starting to shout at her son – as a smile started to cross my mother’s face. As a man, I don’t really know what to say when it comes to writing about this #MeToo movement. But, no matter where she is now – having a cup of tea with her dad, reuniting with her dogs and chickens from her youth, or looking down from on high at the grandchildren she wants to hug – I hope Mammy would be happy that her #MeToo stories are out there now. That this has happened before. And that it can be stopped in our lifetime.

we did not approach at all as it is on a grassy slope with a large patch of stones in front of it and not good ground for a walker. The sign is not even legible from where we parked (even with my see far glasses on). Nowhere else in that huge lot were there any signs concerning parking restrictions. I sent an email to the mayor of

Smiths Falls about this and our ticket problem was corrected. Three weeks later on Oct. 27 we were again at the center this time for hockey, and I again checked. There was still only that single forlorn sign. The ticket that we were issued was voided by staff, but in speaking to many others we were not the first to get a ticket for this “unpublished” infraction (not signed) which I assume

they just paid. The Smiths Falls parking bylaw states, “The town shall erect all authorized signs and other parking control devices necessary for the lawful implementation and enforcement of this bylaw.” I do not see where a single sign posted well away from the entrances in such a large lot would be a lawful implementation. How much has the

Town of Smiths Falls collected in fines over this? Mark Smith, Carleton Place *Editor’s note: Mr. Smith wrote in with an update that there still was just the one lone sign. It’s now been four weeks, he noted, not three as indicated in his letter.
