Have you ever wondered what a billion-year-old rock looks like? It might surprise you that when driving through the rugged regions of Lanark and Renffrew counties the rocks you see along the roadside are all about this age, give or take a few hundred million years.

The annual spring walk to the top of Blueberry Mountain at the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust's (MMLT) clifffLAND property on May 6 this year will include a side trip down the Porcupine Trail to view some of these ancient rocks.

Last year we set up over a black finegrained metamorphosed volcanic flow.

This year Bob Betcher, MMLT's resident hydrogeologist/geologist, will show us some marble, once limestone in a shallow sea but subsequently uplifted and altered by heat and pressure. The type of marble at cliffLAND is slightly soluble in acidic precipitation and over time has developed Karst dissolution features such as caves and sinkholes which can form important habitat for bats, snakes and other creatures.

We invite you to join us on May 6 for a W ffascinating look to the distant past on your trek to the top of Blueberry Mountain. Registration for the hike to the lookout, including the geology tour, is at 10 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are ffree. Children under 12 will be awarded

certificates for making the climb to the lookout. Refreshments will be served after the walk.

This event is the second in our new Discover the Wild series. To learn more about this event and other events in the series, visit mmlt.ca/events.

Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Brightside. Turn left on to the French Line Road. Drive toward Flower Station and watch for the right turn when you get to Joe's Lake. Just be-

f fore you reach Flower Station, turn right on to Hills of Peace Road. A map is available at mmlt.ca/events. For more information, please contact Howard or Jean Clifford at 613-259-3412.

The Eastern Ontario Leadership Council (EOLC), a multi-organization partnership tasked with advancing regional economic development opportunities, welcomes the announcement from the Province of Ontario on the $135,000 funding grant to reffresh and plan for implementation of the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy.

Minister Jeff Leal, of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Afffairs, joined numerous elected officials and economic development partners from across eastern Ontario during the announcement held Monday in the county of Hastings' council chambers. With eastern Ontario being the ffirst region in Ontario to undertake this endeavour as part of the province's regional economic development planning process, the Ministry of Economic Development and Growth is providing the funding and

any required project support.

The EOLC consists of ffive major partners that together represent the various sectors across the region: the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus, the EastW ern Ontario Mayors' Caucus, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, the Ontario East Economic Development Commission and Community Futures Ontario East. The partnership was launched in 2015 following the release of the initial regional strategy, designed to tackle issues regarding the economic performance of the region and pursue opportunities to maintain and enhance its economic prosperity.

This funding will advance the EOLC's ongoing work, which began in 2016 with the creation of three working groups. These groups are responsible for implementation planning and priority setting, while engaging a broad cross-section of public and private

sector stakeholders. They represent the three pillars of the strategy, being: workfforce development and deployment; technology integration and innovation; and integrated, intelligent transportation systems.

"The EOLC is a unique organization in Ontario, ffounded on the principle of promoting regional economic development in collaboration with the many municipalities and stakeholders across eastern Ontario, which represents about 1.2 million residents," stated EOLC co-chair Leslie O'Shaughnessy, mayor of the City of Cornwall. "We thank the province and Minister Leal for recognizing the EOLC's work and providing funds to move forward in such a positive manner."

The refresh of the 10-year Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy will reflect recent economic considerations and incorporate the EOLC's existing regional work.

Newest mental wellness room opens in Lanark County

With the continued success of two mental wellness "drop-in" rooms already in Lanark County comes the opening of a third room just in time for Mental Health Week (May 7-11). After a popular six-month run of a mental wellness room (MWR) in Carleton Place and Almonte, comes the latest addition to open in Perth on May 3.

The purpose of the MWRs is to offer fellowship, support and comfort once a week to those people 18 years and older recovering from a mental health condition. It's a great place to share and spend an afternoon with people living with a similar experience. The rooms offer afternoon refreshments (partially funded this year through a grant from Lanark County United Way), all while playing games or simply sitting around a table chatting how your week has been in a safe and confidential place. All rooms contain at least one peer supporter (originally trained with Lanark County Mental Health through a grant from Bell Let's Talk) who are available to listen if needed.

Some comments from participants: "This room provides a comfort zone without feeling judged;" "After coming to the room for four months I have never laughed so much and felt this comfortable with my mental health recovery;" "I was really nervous to come to the mental wellness room at first, but felt relieved and welcomed after being here;" "The room got me to open up about myself when I did not expect to;" "I feel the room provides a place where I can unwind and destress;" "I like where it is a place I can go and escape being judged;" and "I like that there is very little structure to the room and you are not expected to do anything except have fun."

Mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, etc. are hard to understand or handle especially on your own. If you are suffering from a mental health issue and need professional help, then contact Lanark County Mental Health in Smiths Falls at 613-283-2170. However, if you are working toward your mental health recovery, now there are places in Lanark County you can go to feel better understood. If you wish to be a part of this experience, while feeling safe and welcomed in a non-judgmental environment, then drop in to one of the three MWRs nearest you.

Perth (newest) location: Unit 10-C, 8 Herriott St. Held on Thursdays from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact asiebel55@gmail.com.

Carleton Place location: 351 Bridge St. at Carambeck Community Centre. Held on Fridays from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact ddrolling696@gmail.com.

Almonte location: 3 Rosamond St. at Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (second floor). Held on Tuesdays from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact pcrcmiller@storm.ca.

If you live in Smiths Falls, there is a similar drop-in centre called the LINK, which can be reached by calling 613-284-4608.

BBBS tees off May 26

After such a long winter, plan to get out on the golf course for a good cause!

Mapleview in Perth will once again be the location ffor the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County's annual golf tournament on May 26 to raise funds for local mentoring programs.

3M Perth is the title sponsor, supporting the local agency and their goal of ensuring that "every child in Lanark County that needs a mentor has a mentor."

The fun-filled day is a shotgun start and the $85 registration fee includes a continental breakfast, barbecue lunch, a cart and 18 holes. Register early and save $5. There is a chance to bid on WestJet tickets on the silent auction table among many other great finds. Registration details can be ffound on the agency's website - www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

Sponsorship help increase the bottom line for the agency, and there are many options available, including hole sponsors, food

sponsors, and more. It is great visibility for local businesses, and great support for an agency helping kids right here at home.

Mentoring programs are about prevention and building resilience. The research indicates that by providing children and youth with positive role models, mentoring programs demonstrate to them that they are valued, and that they possess the strength to overcome the obstacles they will undoubtedly face as they grow older. Mentoring also plays an important role in the future direction a child will decide to take later on in life, paving the way to a future full of possibilities. The Boston Consulting Group research shows that for every $1 invested in Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs, $18 is returned to society.

Children who have been in mentoring programs see real, positive change. The children involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters go on to graduate from high school

at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average.

Seventy-eight per cent of those children who came ffrom a social assistance background no longer rely on this form of income and a disproportionately high number of former Littles graduate from college or university compared to others in their age group. On the other hand, children who are denied the benefit of a positive role model are children who will continue to be deemed "at risk," and not children "on the brink of success."

Supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters can have big results. It can be as simple as a game of golf.

For more information F about the tournament, or about other ways to get involved with Big Brothers v Big Sisters of Lanark County, please call 613-283-0570 or visit their website at www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

ABOUT US

Keep safe against ticks and Lyme disease As daytime temperatures rise above 4°C, ticks become active. If bitten by a tick you may be at risk of getting Lyme disease. Ticks are present throughout the entire Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties area and their life cycle now starts in April and can continue through to November, as long as the temperature stays at least four degrees above freezing.

Taking precautions will help to reduce your risk of getting bitten by a tick.

If you dress in light-coloured clothing, it makes adult ticks and nymphs (small stage of the tick), easier to see when they are on you as they are darker in colour.

Do a tick check when you or your children return inside.

Don't forget your pets - even if they don't go outdoors (like cats), anyone can bring them inside and they can find your indoor pet.

If possible have someone check you from the back, or hop in a quick shower to help remove any unattached ticks.

You can also put your clothes in a hot dryer for several minutes, which has been found to kill ticks.

It is important to know that not all ticks carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.

Lyme disease transmission depends on the length of time the infected tick is attached.

Ticks that are removed quickly and have been attached for less than 24 hours are not likely to transfer the bacteria.

However, if the tick has been attached for longer than a day, you may be at an increased risk and it is recommended that you consult your health care provider.

If you find a fat tick, it is an indication that it has been feeding for a longer period of time and you should provide this information to your health care provider.

Lyme disease symptoms can range from a bullseye rash around the bite area, to headache, fever and muscle/joint pain.

Ticks often feed on deer or geese, but don't infect them very often.

The tick that spreads Lyme disease has a two-year life cycle, and feeds once in each of its three life stages larvae, nymph, and adult.

Symptoms can appear from three days to several weeks following a tick bite.

They include: fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, or swollen lymph nodes.

Consult your health care provider as soon as you experience any of these symptoms.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • #MeToo play shows misogyny remains problem Dear Editor, Thanks for covering the Burning Passions Theatre Listen UP! play on the #MeToo movement. Our week T was book-ended by the misogynist-inspired Toronto attack and a UN report concluding such violence in Canada remains a "serious, pervasive and systematic problem."

Dubravka Simonovic, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, directed Ottawa to W adopt a National Action Plan (NAP) on violence against women and enact laws to ensure women are protected from violence equally across all jurisdictions.

She noted "the dire shortage of shelters for women and children escaping violence, and lack of affordable public housing, including transitional housing and second stage accommodation and employment opportunities."

Such issues were discussed in sessions during our tour. The need is real for interim safe spaces and longer term affordable housing so economic circumstances do not chain vulnerable individuals to dangerous situations.

Also, a correction: Mary Cowan, our stage manager, was not the playwright. That is Laurel Smith, who based it on stories by Cowan, Ruby Davidson, Felix Evangelho, Ryan Kreissler, Winston R Mavraganis, and Lu Williams. Julie Lalonde, who recently conducted a workshop on consent attended by

Resident wants action on potholes Dear Editor: I laughed at your recent editorial cartoon pertaining to our potholes that are plaguing the streets of Smiths Falls and parking lot and driveways as well.

The Chambers Street plaza: the front of the plaza was band-aided last year and is showing signs of breaking apart. Bay Street down to Centre Street, between Giant Tiger and Benson's is holier than a bible!

Centre Street from Gile Street over to the back of Giant Tiger plaza is a minef field!

I wonder what people who have to navigate their way to Rob Roy's, the bowling alley, or the laundromat, think?

To whomever owns the T property in and around the Chambers Street plaza: a "pothole filling frenzy" or a complete fix-up would be nice. Some of the potholes are huge!

Is the Town of Smiths Falls going to fill the other potholes on the street they are responsible for? Some of them were never filled from last year.

It seems my taxes keep rising, the money should be put to good use!

It's bad enough the gas prices and the endless "taxes" associated with such angry drivers. Having smoother streets to get there may appease residents.

Dacin Jarvis, Smiths Falls S

COUNCIL

9 | Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF | Thursday, May 3, 2018

County council sets 2018 taxation policies Council has passed bylaws related to 2018 taxation policy, including tax ratios, as well as the levy apportionment to local municipalities. In December, council passed its budget with a levy of $33.3 million and a net tax increase of 1.4 per cent, which is collected through the towns and townships.

Chief administrative offficer Kurt Greaves explained at a corporate services committee meeting earlier this month that council apportions the tax burden between the various tax classes, determines how much of the levy comes ffrom each municipality and decides on the mandatory continuation of tax protection (capping) for the commercial and industrial tax classes.

When the levy is established, council then sets tax ratios, which distribute taxes between the various classes (e.g. industrial, commercial, residential).

"This is done in consulta-

tion with local municipal treasurers, and the recommendation is to adopt revenue-neutral tax ratios to ensure reassessment does not shift the tax burden between the tax classes," Greaves said.

The county will refund its portion of landfill taxation to local municipalities, which was a new property tax and tax ratio introduced last year. Mr. Greaves noted the number of properties afffected by the capping rebates following reassessment has declined steadily since 2009, with only nine properties in 2017. The capping bylaw includes all provisions available to reduce the number of capped properties. The county portion of the tax bill is only one of three components on the tax bill, with the local municipality and education portion making up the balance. For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, county chief administrative officer, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101.

Change to Inaugural Meeting Process Council has approved an amendment to the procedural bylaw that changes the inaugural meeting process to include a nomination period for the position of warden and committee chairs, effective this year.

At a corporate services committee meeting last month, clerk Leslie Drynan outlined the process, which varies depending on whether it is a municipal election year. In a nonmunicipal election year, nomination fforms will be provided to councillors on Oct. 1 for the position of warden and/or committee chair(s).

The forms require signatures of the nominee and two county councillors (as mover and seconder) and must be submitted to the clerk at the first regular council meeting in October.

At the second regular meeting in October, council will receive a report on valid nominations.

If an election is needed,

voting will take place by secret ballot at the first meeting in November. The official swearing-in of the warden and chairs occurs at the inaugural meeting, held each year on the first Tuesday in December. In a municipal election year, the fforms would be provided to the certified newly elected head and deputy head of council in each of the local municipalities.

Nominations close Nov. 15, and the forms require the signatures of the nominee and two members of county council-elect.

The nomination report will be provided at the second meeting in November, with an acclamation or an election by secret ballot occurring at the inaugural meeting after declarations of office have been made by the councillors. For more information, contact Leslie Drynan, clerk, at 1-888-9LANARK, ext. 1502.

10 OPINION

Carleton Place Canadians in fifth consecutive Fred Page Cup Jeff Maguire writes about the local Jr. A hockey team's success Over the course of the past five seasons no team in Canadian Jr. A hockey has been as successful as the Carleton Place Canadians.

This season the fourtime Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) champions finished the campaign with 53 regulation time victories in 62 games. Their regular season win total and the 110 points they accumulated were the best results in the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL).

The Calgary-based CJHL represents 130 teams in 10 leagues across the country and that also encompasses some clubs in the northern United States.

JEFF MAGUIRE Column Going back to the beginning of Carleton Place's amazing run of success, which began in the 2013-2014 campaign, the high flying Canadians have recorded a phenomenal 249 wins in just five seasons.

Heading into this year's post season Carleton Place had won 12 consecutive league playoff series. They defeated Rockland Nationals in five games in the quarter-finals and then swept a good Hawkesbury Hawks team in the semifinals.

That ran their post season

winning streak to 14 straight series triumphs.

As it turned out there wouldn't be a 15th straight! For the third straight year Carleton Place was matched against an excellent Ottawa Junior Senators hockey club (Sens were a strong second during the regular season). It proved to be third time lucky for Junior Sens.

They shocked the favoured Canadians in five games to win their first league title in 16 years.

The margins in the series were razor thin. Each game was decided by one goal and Sens captured two contests in overtime.

Personally I think that after losing two straight Bogart Cup finals to Canadians the Junior Sens were simply hungrier.

But wait, the season is not over. Not for either team!

This season Ottawa is playing host to the Fred

Page Cup (FPC) Eastern Canadian Jr. A championship tournament. That competition began yesterday (May 3) at Jim Durrell Sports Complex in south Ottawa.

The tournament also ffeatures the Maritime champion Edmundston Blizzard from New Brunswick (formerly Dieppe Commandos) and perennial Quebec winners Longueuil. Because the CCHL is hosting this year a second league team qualifies in order to complete the ffour team format. As league runners up and regular season champions, Carleton Place is a very worthy entry. They opened against Longueuil Wednesday and tonight W (Thursday) at 7:30 there is a much anticipated rematch between Canadi-

ans and Junior Sens.

Carleton Place finishes the round-robin portion of the event against Edmundston Friday afternoon at 3:30.

This is Canadians fifth straight year at FPC and they hold the tournament record with three straight titles from 2014-2016. The ffinal goes Sunday at 4 p.m. with the winner advancing to the Royal Bank Cup (RBC) Canadian Jr. A championship tournament. This year's showdown is being hosted by Chilliwack Chiefs of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League May 12-20.

No matter what happens at FPC this week Carleton Place Canadians' coach, GM and owner Jason Clarke, his coaching staff and the entire team deserve tremendous

credit. Going into the 2017-2018 campaign Carleton Place had won four straight Bogart Cups, appeared in four consecutive Eastern Canadian championship finals, winning three of them and competed in three straight RBC tournaments (2014-2016), making it all the way to the national championship game in both 2014 and 2015. Carleton Place only entered the 57-year-old CCHL in 2009. Their success in just nine seasons of Jr. A hockey is unprecedented!

coasts of our vast Canada a few times to road test those songs, earning a name and even a moniker, "Lioness of Lanark."

The music industry, these days, is not for the ffaint of heart. It's lonely out there, often thankless when starting out, necessitating growth of a thick skin to survive. I'm proud to say the Listening Room Series is hosting one of our own successful pups, Ali McCormick on Saturday, May 12, 7 p.m. at the Perth Restaurant for the CD release of her That Place You Know, her third.

Ali grew up off the grid with her family, learning to appreciate nature and music, developing her ffiercely independent spirit and an eye for unique characters and stories that have fed her songwriting mind. I remember when she started out as a kid, many years ago, at open mics around town and the surrounding area.

Dedicating herself, working part time jobs to help pay her way, earning the respect of many throughout via an ever expanding tour schedule. She's also donated her skills to countless community ffundraising efforts, ever honing her stagecraft. Ali is an independent musician, in that she has no record company behind her.

She proudly pays her own way, thus maintaining her integrity, living modestly, hours spent booking her own tours, studio time and players to augment her sound. Her professionalism is impressive.

She's dedicated herself to touching others through her creativity. She's lovin' the ride ... Matthew Armitage (Ramblin' Valley Band) - guitar, Pascal DeWinn - pedal steel, mandolin, harmonica, Laura Greenberg - bass will be augmenting, each in their own way.

So now it's our chance to congratulate one of our own and hear the results

OPINION

17

Older and wiser sibling full of kindness, columnist Mary Cook writes Audrey seemed to know how to fix everything that went wrong in my small world. Much older and certainly much wiser, I could go to my sister with whatever care I carried on my narrow shoulders. She always had a solution.

That Saturday was no exception. Bad Marguirite had almost made me cry at school the day before when she commented on my flour bag underwear and my blouse made out of a wellbleached sugar bag. Mother had put rickrack braid around the little collar, and I thought it was beautiful, trying not to think where it had originally come from.

Well, Marguirite had no W trouble reminding me. Her underwear came from Walker's Store in Renfrew!

W And certainly her mother would never use a sugar bag ffor a blouse! It was all I could do to hold back the tears, and when Audrey saw that

MARY COOK Column something was still bothering me when we were doing our Saturday chores, she took me by the hand and led me to the swing in the grape arbour.

We rocked for a while, W and then she said she found that when anything was bothering her, she would think of something that made her feel good, like picturing the money she made selling seeds along the Northcote Side Road, and what she was going to do with it. Or thinking about the new summer Eaton's catalogue that had just arrived in the mail. I tried my best to think of something, but wasn't having much luck, and then Audrey said, "You know what makes me happy? It's when Miss Crosby comes out on the step in the morning and rings the big brass bell. Now, it may

sound silly to you, Mary, but let's think about all the bells we have in our lives."

I thought of the cluster of bells that hung around our horses' neck in the winter, and the sheer joy of hearing them on a frosty winter's night sitting wrapped in blankets on the flat-bottomed sleigh. Even though it was the beginning of summer, I could hear the bells in my mind.

And a big brass bell hung at our back door, with a clapper tied inside with a piece of rope, and when Father and the brothers were out in the barns or the fields, and Mother had dinner, or supper ready to put on the table, she would stand at the door and clang the bell until someone appeared, waving that they had heard and would come along. Sometimes, she let me ring the dinner bell which made me ffeel very important.

Audrey and I laughed and said she thought the bell Father hung around Bossy's neck so that he could always tell where the cows were, certainly wasn't much to look at. It was made of tin, not brass, and Bossy, slow as molasses in January, hardly ever got a ring out of it when

ON GARAGES/ SHEDS

she moved.

And then my sister asked me what I heard when I went into Renfrew. And of course, I heard the deep sound of a bell coming from somewhere, I knew not where, but guessed it was ffrom one of the huge churches, probably the Catholic church, since it was the biggest church in town. How I loved it when it chimed the hour of the day. I could never figure out where the chimes came ffrom, but I thought how lucky were the people who lived in town and who could hear that bell every hour.

Before I knew it, my mind was rid of the thoughts of Marguirite's biting words, and as Audrey pushed the swing back and forth with her feet, I felt I was just about the luckiest girl in all of Renfrew County. I may not have store bought underwear and clothes, but I had something far more precious than bad Marguirite, an only child, that couldn't be bought at Walker's Store.

I had my sister Audrey.

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take a step back and analyze your current situation before making any other moves. You may be barking up the wrong tree, and you will need a new approach.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may have to take someone’s word on something or put your ultimate trust in an individual this week. It may be challenging, but let down your guard.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Various factors may be clouding your decision-making skills, Sagittarius.

If you’re not sure what to do, trust someone else who has always supported you.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there may be many things you wish to say to someone special, but you just do not know how to find the words. You can convey much more through actions.

Start putting out feelers and begin networking.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is good to have a sense of humor, and you may need a little extra patience at work this week.

When times get tough, surround yourself with lighthearted people.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s in your nature to want to get to the root of every problem and find out the answers to all the puzzles, Scorpio. This can be tiring, but when you’re determined it’s essential.

The Green Gr Light campaign takes place from May 7th until May 13th as part of an Ontario-wide eff ef ort to help eliminate stigma and raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by young people. In 2017, our local Child and Youth Y Mental health agency, agency Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, Y with the support of local municipalities was able to start a local conversation about Child and Youth Y Mental Health.The municipalities of Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills all lit up prominent local landmarks in green light, joining over 70 Ontario other communities that lite buildings and landmarks including the CN To T wer and Niagara Falls.

This year again, municipalities and community partners are once again committing to light prominent buildings across the county in support of the Green Gr Light campaign.

K vin Clouthier, Ke Clouthier Executive Director at Open Doors says,“Such campaigns add to a national conversation that reduces the shame associated with mental health issues while contributing to the development of necessary programs.This eff ef ort serves also as a reminder to people of the presence of the 1 in 5 children and youth in their community who are living daily with the impact of mental health issues.”

Mental Health Week May 7-13, 2018

Mental health is about more than mental illness

It’s more than being happy all the time. It’s about feeling good about who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life’s highs and lows. Everyone deserves to feel well, whatever their mental health experience. And we all need a support system to lean on.

Little kids have a lot of big feelings, ones that can change rapidly and dramatically from the time it takes you to say “Would you like a strawberry jam sandwich?” to “Oh dear, we only have the ends of the bread loaf left.” But they can’t always express their feelings in words, so they often do so in tantrums and tears. Prodding from Mom and Dad—calm down, let’s talk about it, tell me about your feelings, are you upset?— only makes them more frustrated.

My feelings come and go, and all feelings are okay to have! I can think of safe things to do with my feelings.

Lanark Animal Welfare Society offers longtime residents for adoption This week we would like to feature some of our cats who have been overlooked too many times because they took a little while to get used to humans.

They've been at the shelter too long. Our volunteers and staff do what they can to socialize these cats with huge success. Now they just need a person or family who would open their heart and home to continue the efforts we already started. If you are looking forward to really make a difference in a cats' life, then please come and meet following cats: Hi there Ivory here. I arrived at LAWS early January on one of those blistery cold days with my two kittens who have been adopted since. I was pretty scared at first but I now know humans can be really nice. They feed me, play with me and even cuddle me. What a treat. I am getting used to being spoiled here. They told me that they're trying really hard to find a forever home for me, too. Can't wait who will come to meet me to adopt me. I am quite comfortable here, but a home to myself would be very exciting. I don't mind being with other cats either. Would you please come and get me? I am at LAWS sharing my space with a few other cats.

Albert is a lovely tabby boy with striking markings. He's almost one year old and has been with us since before Christmas. Although he can be a little shy, he does quickly warm up when he trusts you. It's hard for us to understand why he's not adopted yet.

Albert is ready to be embraced and you can find

him at LAWS in one of the cat-runs.

Nester has been with us since November. This handsome, male, silver grey cat is patiently waiting for his permanent home. He will need a quiet space and a loving family.

Maybe best in a home where the children are a little older, or no children.

Lately he's more involved meeting potential adopters. We think he's just hoping to get a chance of being invited into a amorous home. Often cats choose their new owners ... could it be you? Why not check him out, he is currently residing in the large cat run area at LAWS with other cats.

Babe ... this lovely nineyear-old female cat was surrendered to LAWS because her owner was moving into a retirement home.

Sadly there were no pets allowed and Babe is now safely at LAWS. She is adjusting to her new, hopefully temporary, home and you often find her under the sink on a bunch of clean towels. She is very sweet but a little withdrawn as it's quite the change to go to LAWS from a loving home.

We're absolutely certain that when she's invited into her new forever home she'll be making you very happy with her presence.

Please meet Babe at LAWS. There was a lot of splashing going on last weekend in Almonte at Pet Valu during the National Adoption weekend; 20 dogs came in for a wash or a nail-trim; eight pets got a microchip and all five available kittens were adopted.

Thank you all who made it a great success.

Depending on your automaker's recommendations and the distance you drive (along with the conditions), you'll probably visit a lube shop three or four times every year. And if you've ever watched your service tech complete this task, you may ask yourself, "What's so hard about this job?"

Truth be told, routine oil and filter service isn't that technically difficult if you've done a few before and if you have the right equipment and tools. So if you're thinking of taking on this task for the first time, here are a few tips.

If you plan on using your home driveway or garage, consider that many municipalities have bylaws that prohibit doing automotive repairs on residential properties. These are mostly complaint-driv-

BRIAN TURNER Column en, but if you're lying on your back under your vehicle and that tap on your shoe is coming from a bylaw officer, don't say we didn't warn you.

For just about any ride other than a sky-jacked SUV or truck, you'll need some type of device to let you lift the front of the vehicle. Stay away from those press-metal ramps.

First, if your auto has a low-riding front air dam or bumper cover, they'll damage it. More importantly, they are extremely unsafe and easy to overshoot and are prone to tipping. A proper floor jack and two axle stands are the only way to go. If you're working on an asphalt-paved driveway, even axle stands will need some support from a thickness of wood, to prevent the legs from sinking in and tipping.

Of course, you'll need an oil-filter wrench and six-point socket for the drain plug. Rather than

Hwy 29 Smiths Falls 613-283-2027

the strap-type filter wrenches, get the adapter that fits onto a socket drive; they're much easier to use in tight spaces. A drain pan is a must, and many automotive hardware stores offer ones that are incorporated into carry containers that are great for collecting and safely disposing of your old oil. And then you're only left to purchase the oil and ffilter and any other fluids you might need to top things up.

Even if you're a smart shopper, this list will cost you $350 to $400 and more at a minimum. But if you take care of these tools and equipment they should outlast your vehicle. A final note: the average labour charge for most oilchange outlets is around $20, so you'd have to do about 20 oil changes to recoup your investment.

And none of this takes into account any risk to your wheeled investment if you make a mistake anywhere along the way - nor the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Graff recommends design-review advisory process after council approves Rogers Road apartments DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The 24-unit, three-storey apartment building planned for 8 Rogers Rd. in Perth's Caroline Village neighbourhood has been given the green light by town council.

But the unanimous vote, coming at the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, April 24, also gave councillors pause for thought as to how the process for future development could be improved.

"It's not meant as a criticism," said Coun. Jim Graff, who called the experience bringing the Rogers Road project through the planning process "a learning experience."

From his own point of view, the first design presented to town hall was "not the best."

Even with the design

changes made by the developer and architect, Graff said, he still had concerns that "there would be a traffic problem," particularly on John and Thom streets, which he said remained "one of the top concerns" of residents.

"I think there is a smoother way we can handle this . We need a designreview advisory process," said Graff of the process. "In this particular case, I think it was a win. He (the developer) changed the design.

We have a good developer . I W support this site plan approval," for 8 Rogers Rd. For future proposed deF velopments, having a design-review advisory process could mean that there would be "better . new buildings are (built) in Perth, and it attracts more business."

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell reminded Graff that "We do have the right to

Perth Mayor John Fenik reads from the council schedule during the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, April 24. stop things," if they do not conform, and that "education and enforcement" may be needed on Thom and John streets to help residents, new and old, adjust to increased traffic levels.

"I don't know that we have a problem with the

traffic because the building has not been built yet," Coun. Jim Boldt reminded council. "The planning process is there for a reason."

Boldt said that he has been on the planning advisory committee for three years and "I'm still learning. I

think we got this one (Rogers Road) right . we listened (and) we got a modified building."

Coun. Ed McPherson offfered the idea that "it doesn't hurt to expand the role of the (planning advisory) committee," noting that "developers, once they are challenged, they up their game."

While there is always a fear that a NIMBY (not in my backyard) mentality may scuttle some projects, McPherson reminded council that "the neighbours do have to live next door to the property," even if they do not own the property.

A new fence will "add some privacy," to residents, said development and protective services director Forbes Symon, and 30 new F trees are planned to be planted on the property.

"I think it's important that the dialogue continue," said Mayor John Forbes, of

the talks between residents and town hall and the developer.

Circling back to the issue of traffic in the area, Fenik reminded council about how the installation of the Tim Hortons restaurant at the intersection of Gore Street East and Craig Street "forever changed the feel of that neighbourhood and traffic patterns," there.

In his report to council, Symon wrote that there were "specific site plan issues," with the original proposal, such as "snow removal procedures, tree retention, building cladding," and other issues. "Staff believe these matters have been addressed and completion of a site plan agreement is now being recommended."

The building will have 32 parking spaces, including ffive victory parking spaces and three barrier-free parking spaces.

Where you live in Lanark County determines wait time for housing DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Where you live in Lanark County has a huge impact on how long you may have to wait for housing.

"If you don't have a house, there are so many issues you can't deal with," said Sandy Grey, social housing manager with Lanark County during a community consultation on housing and homelessness at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on April 26.

Housing waits can be anywhere from three to ffive years, with one-bedroom requests being the most prevalent.

While domestic violence cases are given priority, "we don't have any emergency housing in Lanark County," apart from Interval House, said Grey, adding "there are some group homes."

She was joined by her colleague, Emily Hollington, housing renewal co-ordinator with the county.

Wait times are between W one and seven years. The housing stock that the county currently holds is also not perfect.

"We do not have a lot of wheelchair-accessible units," said Hollington, who called it "a huge challenge" that can add significant time to a disabled person on a wait list. There are also no mental health beds in the county. Another challenge for the housing insecure is transportation.

The audience also heard about the challenges faced by the working poor, and the lack of funding, staff, and resources among the nonprofit sector.

Another challenge is getting some data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Because the CMHC needs a

minimum population of 10,000, they do not collect vacancy rate data for Lanark County communities.

The county does not have access to housing start numbers from CMHC. There are 790 rentgeared-to-income units in Lanark County, which includes rent supplements, local nonprofit housing, and the local housing corporation, according to Lanark County data provided at the meeting. Households in rent-geared-to-income housing are charged 30 per cent of their income for rent. There are 530 households on the wait list for rent-geared-to-income housing, including: 113 seniors; 57 victims of domestic violence and 295 onebedroom requests.

There are two affordable housing buildings in Lanark County where rent is charged at 20 per cent below market rent, with one

in Almonte with 20 units (with eight under construction); and 20 units in Perth (with two under construction.)

There are some shelter options in the county, including Lanark County Interval House, and a Housing Options Fund, which will pay for a maximum of a ffour-night stay in a motel or hostel.

There are 15 group homes that provide support for individuals living with development disabilities and various retirement homes and long-term care f facilities.

Subsidized rentals are covered by five nonprofit housing providers, like the Lanark County Housing Corporation, with a target of 75 rent supplement units in private market units.

Short term rental assistance There are two streams to this assistance locally, including the Rent Support Program, which is rent subsidy program that assists approximately 100 people per month in which $200 is paid directly to the landlord to assist with rent. The client can receive support for up to five years, and it is funded through the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

The other stream is the slightly modified Housing Allowance Program, which is administered by the Ontario Ministry of Finance in which $200 is paid directly to the tenant. The client can receive the support for up to five years and it currently assists 46 clients.

"Renters are struggling more than owners," Hollington said.

The county also offers renovation help for essential home repairs, with 10year forgivable loans, which cover everything ffrom windows, doors, roof, ffurnace, insulation, to accessibility improvements.

However, there is a maximum amount of $10,000 per applicant. There were 46 renovations completed in l See LANARK, page 8

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Last week was an emotional roller-coaster for Mary Kilgour.

On the low end, her uncle Everett from Shawville, Quebec, died at the age of 92. Then, in the midst of planning his eulogy, visitation and funeral, she received the Cora Bailey Award from the Retired Teachers of Ontario (RWTO), during the local chapter's brunch in the Fellowship Hall of St. Paul United Church on Thursday, April 19.

"My poor old heart is happy, is sad," she said after receiving her plaque ffrom the RWTO's president, Lois Lockhart. "This is such a shock. I just thought I was doing my

share."

Kilgour taught primary grades in both Ontario and Quebec for 30 years, retiring in 1999.

Chapter president Jane Graham said that Kilgour has been a volunteer at her church and in the community for years.

"We have been fortunate to have Mary as goodwill convener of several years for our branch," said Graham. "She has worked hard to update the membership birthday list and has done a wonderful job choosing and wrapping Christmas gifts for our more than 30 members, and, with her local helpers, sends out cards."

Kilgour was also commended for planning and organizing luncheons, speakers, and entertain-

ment for the chapter, "often using her many community contacts to do so."

In closing, Graham told Kilgour that "we all appreciate the hard work that she has done to help our branch carry out its goals of caring and sharing."

But Kilgour was not the only recipient of valuable paper that morning. Several local charities and worthy causes each received $300 cheques from the group, including: • Lanark and District Museum; • His House; • Cases of Caring; • Smiths Falls Public Library summer reading club; • Duncan J. Schoular Public School glee club; • Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Lanark County.

OPINION

I'll trade you a batch of maple fudge for a cup of syrup Stephanie Gray writes about her love of all things maple Last week I was muttering about the weather, but there is one thing that has been positive about our prolonged winter - it's been darned good for maple syrup season.

Spring is lovely and warm and paints the world a colour of green that is beyond compare. (Usually, anyway. Any time now would be good, please, Mother Nature, if you

STEPHANIE GRAY Column wouldn't mind.) It's also synonymous with maple syrup, which makes it one of my favourite times of year.

Since I hail from the "Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario," the sweetness of this season is not lost on

AUTOMOTIVE PERFORMANCE

me. I remember trips to sugar bushes as a kid and spent time on school buses with my own offspring so they could see the magic happen.

One year my dad tapped a couple of trees in our backyard in town (not a bush lot by any stretch) and we collected enough sap to boil into a decent sampling of syrup. I think he might still feel a bit woozy from the sweet fumes as he boiled for hours in the backyard.

For many years I was a bit complacent about maple syrup. Buying the real stuff was a bit of a splurge,

ConstruCtion

especially when the kids were much younger and enjoyed tonnes of it on Eggo waffles (yes, I am THAT mother who sometimes serves food from a box).

Since then I have become much more particular about my maple syrup, and I use it in all sorts of things. In addition to baking, it finds its way into sauces and glazes and vinaigrettes. I discovered that it has a magical ability to transform foods that were once deemed inedible into beloved creations - or at least more palatable.

It was a bit of a miracle.

Especially the mapleglazed Brussels sprouts.

And then there's the whole thing with the f fudge.

A couple of years ago, the good friend I call "Cookie" gave me a jar of maple syrup he had boiled.

It was very tasty, and I was inspired to experiment with making maple fudge.

After some research and a bit of trial and error, I ffound a recipe that has become a hit.

In fact, it was popular enough to land me a gig making fudge for wedding ffavours for another friend who boils. There was a lot of maple syrup that year, and I got to keep the leftovers.

A couple of years ago I started a job in a place where it seems as if every second person has some sort of sugar bush in his or her backyard. It is definitely sweet to know these people.

Possibly I may have suggested that donations of syrup can be turned into ffudge made from their very own syrup - customized!

So, I'm getting a bit of a reputation. My pantry is well stocked.

Cookie calls me the "syrup monger" (among other things). I already re-

ciprocated his tasty donation - fudge and maple butter tarts, too.

I remember sharing a car ride with him and another colleague who also happens to boil sap every season. As the two of them chattered amicably about the equipment they use and some of the tricks of the trade, all I could offer is that I manufacture a byproduct at the end of the process and use a big wooden spoon to do it.

But it's a sweet byproduct.

I've always said that if my various contracts and part-time gigs ever fall through I'll just make ffudge. And tarts. And maple-glazed Brussels sprouts. It'll be fantastic.

The median household income by municipality also underscored different needs across the county. From $47,104 in Smiths Falls to $102.707 in Beckwith.

Education was also a determinant when it came to housing challenges.

The prevalence of the number of low-income people per municipality, as of 2016, also changes drastically in different parts of the county, however, "our unemployment rates are significantly lower" than those in Renffrew County or LeedsGrenville, said Hollington.

Quilt open house May 3 Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County is a nonprofit, charitable organization that was formed in 2013 by a group of compassionate and caring women to create and gift handmade quilts. Recipients of these quilts are facing physical or mental illnesses that seriously affect their day-to-day living.

With the focus on the group's motW to - From Our Hearts to Your Heart - volunteers meet at St. Paul's United Church in Perth twice monthly to cut fabric, sew beautiful quilt tops and quilt either by hand or machine, lap quilts that will provide a warm source of comfort.

Quilts are provided at no cost Q to those who either request or receive a quilt. In order to ensure that there is no cost, Heart to Heart Quilts Lanark County relies on the generosity of the community as well as fundraising projects. Individuals and groups

have been generous and in so doing have allowed us to gift over 250 quilts to people in our area. We are grateful to our long-standing and major financial supporter, T.D. Securities Underwriting T Hope Fund. Its recent contribution of $14,000 has allowed us to purchase a long arm quilting machine. With the purchase of this machine members are able to quilt a top with speed and ease to meet the increasing number of requests we are receiving.

Students make deep dive during explorer-in-residence visit DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The next time you have a bad day at work, remember that Jill Heinerth had to swim through whale poop one day as part of her day job.

Heinerth, has the exciting work title of explorer-inresidence at the Canadian Geographic Society, and she brought tales of exploring underwater caves, coming fface-to-face with a shark, and exploring the world's largest glacier in Antarctica.

But it was while she on a dive off the coast of Newffoundland that she found herself swimming with a large group of humpback whales. While some of her memories of that dive were cute - with a proud mother whale showing off her baby to her - one whale appeared less-than-impressed with her presence, and went to the washroom right in front of her. Because of the currents, she had to swim right through it.

Heinerth brought her tales to the Queen Elizabeth

Public School in Perth on Thursday, April 19, during a sweep of visits to area schools, including a stop at Caldwell Street Public School on Wednesday, April 18.

She had always wanted to be an astronaut when she grew up, but now she says she has the "second best job.

I get to explore inner space."

She watched the Apollo moon landings as a child, and would also watch the underwater explorations of French diver Jacques Cousteau.

"I want to be the person I wish I'd met when I was 10 years old," she said, looking around at the students.

Throughout her career she has experienced some tight spots, and it has taught her to see opportunity where others may not.

"When I look into that darkness, I see nothing but opportunity," she said.

"More people have walked on the face of the moon than have (walked in) some of the places I have."

Office caves She calls her "office"

From left, Jill Heinerth, the explorer-in-residence of the Canadian Geographic Society, holds up the society's flag with the help of Queen Elizabeth School students Naomi Peters, Jessica Dolinki, and Nicola Cunniffe, before Heinerth's presentation on April 19 in the school gym. whatever cave she finds herself in on any given expedition, going into places where no human being has ever gone before, which "requires a lot of ingenuity and problem solving." She says that "caves are worthy of exploration," she said. "They hold our drinking water."

One amazing geological discovery she made was in an underwater cave near the Bahamas, where they found

dust from the Sahara desert, thousands of miles away.

"Somehow, that red dust made its way across the ocean," she said, depositing it off the coast of North America, in the 350,000 year old cave. The caves they landed in used to be dry, beffore the sea levels rose. In ffact, the cave had been dry at least three times during its existence.

Heinerth originally

trained as an artist, and "these caves are a place of great beauty. They are worth photographing on their own."

Antarctica, Yucatan travels On the other extreme, she was the first person to ever cave dive inside of an iceberg, rappelling inside the "largest moving object on our planet," she recalled.

Back in warmer climates, she discovered a strange animal in a cave in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, an animal she described as "gangsta cow," because it had gold in its mouth, "like a grill." The Mayan people of the area were beset by drought, and were moving around searching for water. In order to safely hide their precious stones, the Mayans put their gold and silver "on the teeth of the cow. No one will ever think to look for it there."

In these caves, new technology is being deployed all the time, allowing for GoPro cameras, 3D scans and 3D print replicas to be made of areas she has seen. In fact, she said that the "most im-

portant project of my life," was taking part in the "first ever 3D map of any space below ground."

Shipwrecks and sharks Her work has both the 'Ooh!' factor, like the fact that she has swum with thousands of sharks in the water ("I love sharks. They are way more scared of us than we are of them," she said), there is also a cultural side to her work. She checked out a ship wreck of an Allied boat that was sunk by a German U-boat in 1942 during the Second World War, off the coast of NewW ffoundland. When she returned to shore, she met an old lady who, as a young woman, had helped rescue some of the sailors from that attack.

Diving at shipwreck sites is always worthwhile - and, on one occasion, profitable.

Her mandate is to leave stuff where she finds it, on the ocean floor, unless otherwise instructed. But on one occasion, she brought a large wad of cash she had ffound at the site of a more recent shipwreck.

After undergoing chemotherapy and a mastectomy, her son was born on Feb. 1, 2015. He celebrated his third birthday earlier this year, "a birthday that doctors told me I would never see."

She is in the middle of drug trial injections which she takes every day, but there is much work that still needs to be done to put an end to cancer - a challenge that she laid at the feet of her young audience.

"I'm very optimistic that the ffunds that you raise (in May) . will help find a cure," she said. "Odds can be beat, and I hope I can continue to beat them for my family."

Also present was St. John student Tyra Liko. She did not speak at the assembly as she s still recovering from her own cancer battle. She did record an audio message for her peers, and video was shown of her ringing the "Cancer Free" bell at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Cancer survivor Lindsey Vergette-Lamoureux and her friend Chelsea Richer both sent video greetings, as well - and Vergette-Lamoureux revealed that she is now engaged to be married.

Austin's Army of One A final presenter made his first appearance on stage - and the fact that he was able to stand before the school was noteworthy in itself. He appeared at the annual Terry Fox Run at Perth's Conlon Farm last R ffall in a wheelchair. On Monday morning, he was able to get up on stage on his own.

"I am a cancer survivor, times two," he said. His cancer journey started with a diagnosis of leukemia back in the summer of 2016, shortly after he turned 17. Up to that point, he had been a carefree teenager, going to parties, playing baseball, hanging out with his ffriends: "You know, normal teenage stuff."

One day, while riding his bike at a skate park, he fell pretty hard on his face, causing some head trauma. A week later in his backyard, he accidentally walked right into a tree branch, causing a second brain trauma. A few days later, attending a Bluesfest concert in Ottawa, he tripped on someone's foot in the crowd. Sprawled on his back on the ground, he got kicked in the head before he was helped up.

He started getting persistent headaches, so his mother took him to the Great War Memorial campus of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. He was told by the doctor on duty that it was probably a concussion. But a week later, the

St. John kicks off Relay for Life "I had pounding headaches at all hours of the day. I couldn't eat, and I couldn't be outside for more than 10 minutes without puking."

He returned to the hospital on July 26, 2016, where Dr. Alan DrumJ mond ordered blood testing.

"At this point, we were waiting ffor the results, and I said to my mom, 'I never thought I'd say this, but I hope I have mono.'"

Unwelcome journey Drummond returned with the bad news of the leukemia diagnosis. Ritz was sent to CHEO for a series of tests and procedures. The ffirst phase of chemo therapy "lasted 28 days and wasn't all that bad, to be honest. I still had good energy and I didn't really get any harsh symptoms." Then came part two.

This round "made me feel like I had the worst flu ever, times 100. I was throwing up every few minutes, dry heaving. My blood counts were (at) rock bottom. I had no immune system and, on top of it all, I had a consistent fever that showed no signs of stopping any time soon."

In October of 2016, he got his first ffungal infection. Doctors tried to treat it, but nothing worked. The decision was made to try a new drug, Amphoteracin B - only to find out the hard way that he was allergic to that drug.

"Within 15 minutes, my lips swelled up like a Kylie Jenner lip challenge gone wrong," he said, drawing laughter from the audience. His face and then his throat swelled, until he could no longer swallow. He passed out, and nurses took action to save his life.

But the pain continued. He ended up with "so many sores in my throat and mouth that I couldn't move my mouth, and I couldn't swallow anything. My whole mouth was black with scabs and blood." He began taking hydromorphone, "basically the equivalent of ffentanyl," for the pain.

He also continued to get fungal and bacterial infections, and his blood counts were still low. After this phase was over, "the pain was less and less every day," and he was starting to wean off of hydromorphone. However, when it was time

Cancer survivor Austin Ritz spoke before the Relay for Life campaign kick-off assembly in the gym of St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Monday, April 23. to stop the drug completely, "I now had a chemical dependency to one of the most addictive pharmaceuticals on planet Earth."

Murphy's medical law In time, however, he got off of the drug and, he added with a smile, "this is where it gets interesting." In May of 2017, "I started forgetting things I should have easily remembered. I started not making sense when I spoke, as if I was drunk. Then, all of a sudden, I was out cold. That right, gone, goodbye, nap time."

He had developed a fungal infection on his brain, "worse than ever before." This was causing pressure on his brain, so, it was time for brain surgery. As if this were not bad enough, he developed heart problems, which were, "I can only describe as a miniature heart attack. It's when your heart rate soars dangerously high for a short period of time, usually anywhere ffrom 15 seconds to 15 minutes."

The drama did not end there.

It was soon time for second brain surgery, to replace some shunts.

"Right before they cut me open, my (numbers) dropped and my lung collapsed," he said. "It took a while but they brought me back."

The doctors attempted the surgery again the next day, this time successful, but he was in a coma for

six weeks and he could not eat or drink for a time. He had no control of bodily functions; he couldn't stand, walk, speak, or hold himself up to sit.

"It takes a special kind of toughness to potty train your son twice in a lifetime, and not go completely crazy," he said of his mother.

It seemed that if anything else could have gone wrong, it did.

When two of the shunts in his brain malfunctioned, causing more pressure to build up on his brain, he required, you guessed it, brain surgery number four.

"I immediately started physiotherapy and every kind of rehab imaginable, and eventually I started feeling a little more human," he said. "I even got to have a beer with my friends for my 18th birthday."

He returned home, by way of a stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Ottawa, on Sept. 15, 2017, having been in hospital for 416 days in a row. He now coaches football, hangs out with his friends, attends school, and is "just getting back to normal, everyday things for someone my age."

And that's where the story should have ended - had he not ffound, in December, that one of his testicles "was significantly larger than the other . It was another cancer, completely unrelated to my leukemia." He said that as he awaited the test results, "we feared the worst, and prayed it was not a relapse. And thank God it wasn't." It was, instead, a "seminomous germ cell tumour," and "my giant nut was gone," after surgery.

He came back to school after New Year's 2018, "still feeling like my junk had been run over by a truck," but he recovered. He is now attending parties and has resumed snowboarding, though his leukemia treatments will not end until Nov. 15, 2019.

"This might not be what people want to hear, but if I could go back in time and fix everything, I wouldn't change a thing," he said.

"Without the past two years I wouldn't have met some of my closest, most amazing friends, and I would never have had the chance to

share my story with you. Everything that has happened to me over the past two years has shaped the very fibres of my being, and made me the man I am today."

By the numbers Ritz told the crowd that he estimates that, during his medical journey, he had: • 50 platelet transfusions; • 57 red blood cell transfusions; • Two plasma transfusions; • 44 intravenous chemo treatments; • 412 doses of oral chemo therapy - with 646 to go.

Stand up to cancer In closing out the assembly, teacher David Peters asked everyone to look under their seats to see if they had a coloured piece of paper underneath. All of the people who did were asked to stand - exactly half of the room.

Peters told all of those standing to look around, and remember the scene. Then, they were reminded of one grim statistic - that one in two Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Peters then instructed those with yellow cards to remain standing while the half of those who didn't have yellow cards sat back down. Those still standing, Peters said, represented the one in four Canadians who will die from cancer.

"Relay is worth the effort," said teacher Mary Retty. "You're making a difference in people's lives when they need it the most."

The school's Relay for Life event begins at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 25.

When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little while - but not too long, And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared, Miss Me - But Let Me Go. For this journey that we all must take, And each must go alone.

It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know.

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss Me - But Let Me Go Always loved and sadly missed Shirley Ken, Bob and Peggy Grandchildren: Chelsey, Rebecca, Taylor, Casey, Abgeal, Kristy, Jesse and Jacob.

CRAWFORD – In fond and loving memory of the best husband and father in the world Orval Crawford who passed away May 3, 2003.

You meant so much to all of us, You were special and that’s no lie.

You brightened up the darkest day, And the cloudiest sky.

Your smile alone warmed hearts, Your laugh was like music to hear.

We would give absolutely anything, To have you standing here.

When you suffered, you told few, You never deserved what you went through.

Tired and weary you made no fuss, But tried so hard to stay with us.

Not a second passes, When you’re not on our minds.

Your love we will never forget, It was a special kind.

Too dearly loved to ever be forgotten By his loving wife Dolly, four sons and their families.

Always remembered lovingly by: Husband John and family

MacKinnon, Daniel C.

November 1926-March 2018 My wife Yvonne and I were friends and lovers for some 75 years. We were born in the East end of Toronto and met at Riverdale Collegiate. She went on to obtain a degree at the University of Toronto in Physical and Health Education while I graduated in Honour Science and eventually a Ph.D. in Zoology and Wild Life Biology from the University of British Columbia. Yvonne began her professional career at Neighbourhood House in Toronto where all kinds of social programs were offered to people who lived in the so called “Cabbage Town” and beyond part of the city. In 1950, Jim and Yvonne were married and moved to Vancouver where Jim began his graduate work and Yvonne continued her social work at the Chinese YWCA. After a few years Yvonne decided she wanted children and became a full time mother and head of house and home. Jim gave full support and enjoyed the great benefits of a good home, children, and a happily married life. Children in order of origin were Jennifer, Robyn, Sarah, Leah and John. All eventually married and continued the line through 11 grand and 3 great grandchildren. All are doing well and now include a medical doctor, professor, journalist, teacher, mother, forester and miner. While a mother first she was also an activist and helper. She saw the need for parks and green spaces where nature could flourish despite the crush of urban pressure. Best example was the saving of Rattray Marsh and surrounding forest as a conservation area by her and many other Mississaugans. As a helper, she spent many hours in the field gathering data often amidst black flies and other discomforts. Few tasks were ignored if her help was needed. Because Jim chose an academic career of teaching and research in animal ecology this took him and the family to opportunities in Kingston, Vancouver, Toronto and nearby study areas. Whenever possible the children and some friends went along to make a summer adventure, school, and source of fly bites and ravenous wild carnivores. Despite the dangers, all learned much, survived, and wanted to do it again.

Now, much time is passed and expired. Birth, growth, and accomplishment are preludes to death and we all must die. But before that we see the joy and opportunity of the young as in Yvonne. She has lived to the full and has resulted in doctors that use robot surgery, writers that report on the life of Mandela, Professors that warn of the pollution of oceans by plastics, children that produce great grand children, and so it goes. Goodbye my dearest! You are an outstanding example, an inspiration, and have made a much better earth. Thanks to all who have helped make Yvonne’s passing comfortable and with love.

HARPER - In loving memory of Raymond H. Harper who passed away May 4th, 2013.

Life is not the same without you.

Your memory is a keepsake, From which we’ll never part.

God has you in His arms, We have you in our heart.
