ALMONTE – The Almonte and District High School (ADHS) production of The Diary of Anne Frank has been nominated for five Cappie awards, including a nomination for favourite play. The play was nominated in five categories, two of which were technical. Gabe Rudyk and Warren Ziebert-Adams were nominated for favourite sound, while Adrian Schut was nominated for his lighting contributions. On the acting side, Emilie Scott was nominated for favourite supporting actress, while a favourite leading actress nomination went to Claire Hunter, who played the title role. There was also a nomination for favourite play. “It’s exciting to be recognized

for all of the hard work. I was really proud of them,” said director Jennifer Sheffield. “The kids are ridiculously excited…It’s kind of like the Oscars.” Sheffield found out the good news on May 9, after more than 200 student reviewers submitted their votes on May 7. But some of her tech-savvy students found out the good news before her, in real time, checking online to see the nominations as they were posted. The students will be honoured at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre’s (NAC) Southam Hall on June 5. “There’s a red carpet and the students get to walk the red carpet and there are photographers,” said Sheffield.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Even with all the new development in Mississippi Mills this year, the most spectacular home sale of the year will likely be the Naismith Home, which went up for sale last Thursday. The home, built in 1855, is a local and provincially designated heritage home, and will be included in the Almonte General

Hospital’s home tour in June. This year is the first year the owners have allowed the home tour access to the top floor of the house. It is located on Hwy 29, on a 45acre lot, and realtor Brent Conley of Royal LePage has an asking price of almost $1.2 million. James Naismith is recognized as the inventor of the game of basketball.

From front page About 31 junior critics from area high schools came out to see the play. Every school that enters the Cappies has at least six student critics on a team. “They go to other schools to review student plays,” said Sheffield. Afterwards, the students write reviews of the plays and submit them to teacher editor/mentors. Sheffield is the editor/mentor for the ADHS team. While Sheffield credits the nominations to her troupe of actors and back stage staff, she added that she owed a debt of gratitude to the play itself. “It is a powerful play,” she said. “Even though I had seen them rehearse these lines and saw them 50 times, with the props and lighting and make-up, seeing them on stage…I still went on that emotional roller-coaster with them.” She added that the commended the actors for “making it real, for being real people, and for drawing me in.”

This is only the second year the school has taken part in the Cappies program, but they were nominated for three awards last year for their production of the Tim Rice-Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. While the action on stage requires the actors to move through time and space, from Almonte in 2011 to Amsterdam in the 1940s, their visit to the NAC will not just be to pick up the hardware. The actors will reunite onstage to perform the final three minutes of the play. “They get to perform on the NAC stage,” said a delighted Sheffield. But performing on a professional stage, as opposed to the stage in the school gym, comes with certain expectations and challenges. “We have 15 seconds to get on, 15 seconds to get off, and three minutes to perform,” said Sheffield. “We’ve got to figure out how we’re going to make this look like an attic and…how we’re going to get them off the stage (the props). How will we shrink it down?” Sheffield intends to use a spotlight to show the confines of the tiny Dutch attic. While she is glad to be getting the gang back together again, she admits to a bit of fatigue with the project. “Yeah, I’m tired,” she said. “But because it’s so exciting, the adrenalin kicks in and picks you through it. I hope that in some way this will encourage people to come out and see our plays at the school.” Already, Sheffield and her drama crew have experienced a common phenomena in the world of theatre – being on a critically acclaimed, but commercially struggling, production. “The numbers were really down this year,” admitted Sheffield. “It was disappointing. It was a play that a lot of people just couldn’t watch. It’s too hard.” LOOKING AHEAD

Next year, in an effort to get more people back into the seats, she is considering a more commercial success like West Side Story. After such a heavy drama, she would also love to try something a little lighter. Were it not for the fact that they were still on Broadway, the musicals Mamma Mia, Legally Blonde and Wicked would all be musicals she would consider for the ADHS stage. In spite of the lower-than-expected turnout, Sheffield

and her crew were amazed to find out how many local people were personally touched by the Holocaust. “I was amazed at the Holocaust stories came out of the woodwork during intermission, or people phoning me up,” after a show, said Sheffield, with people telling her, “I have a story to tell you,” or “This is a hard play for me to watch, but I have to start to share.” One Almonte lady had grown up in Amsterdam and had a friend who was Jewish. One day, her friend was taken away and sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. She did not survive. “It was like her own Anne Frank,” said Sheffield. “That was a really sad story.” Another local man told her that his family hid Jews during the war in Amsterdam. “I can’t imagine the risks that they too,” said Sheffield, shaking her head. “It’s important to talk about and remember because, God forbid, history repeat itself.”

Now that spring is here and everyone is busy with yard work, we would like to remind all homeowners that septic systems require maintenance as well. As a property owner, it is your responsibility to have your septic tank maintained and pumped out on a regular basis. Studies have shown that routine pumping of a septic tank is necessary for proper performance and treatment of wastewater. Faulty systems may lead to costly repairs and the compromise of water quality and public health. If you have not had your septic tank pumped out within the last 3-5 years, please act responsibly and hire a licensed septic tank hauler to pump out your tank. Routine pumping will provide you with the peace of mind knowing that your septic tank is in good working order and capable of handling additional wastewater from your home. For more information on septic system maintenance and to obtain a free “Guide Operating & Maintaining Your Septic System”, please visit the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing website at http://www.obc.mah.gov.on.ca Further information can also be obtained by contacting your local Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit Ofﬁce or their website at http://www.healthunit.org/default.htm

Doctor recruitment drive needs towns working together Ontario has seen 400 doctors arrive since 2007, plan is to keep them in the province DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – With towns across Lanark County looking to recruit doctors into their communities, Chris Farley Ratcliffe is here to ask – can’t we all just get along? “I am not here to push Ottawa or Carleton Place or Pembroke over any other community,” said Ratcliffe, a community partnership co-ordinator with the Health Force Ontario Marketing and Recruitment Agency. “If you and Almonte are looking for half a doctor, I say, ‘Why not work together?’” Ratcliffe stressed that his group, which works with the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) in eastern Ontario is “as independent as you can be when you are fully funded by the Ministry of Health.” “I’m there to say, ‘What about Carelton Place? What about Casselman or Renfrew?’” he said during a meeting of the Carleton Place community issues committee. “Our role, really is to find a good fit. I am not a recruiter. I facilitate connections…My role is to get them to your door. Then, you take over.” Ratcliffe has different sources he draws on to bring doctors to eastern Ontario. “We actively recruit physicians to the province from the U.S. and many of these people are repatriates,” said Ratcliffe, noting that many doctors who left Ontario in the 1980s and 90s because of salary caps are now returning from the U.S. “The economic situation has been much worse there than it was here,” said Ratcliffe. He reported that, in the past four years, Ontario has been able to attract more than 400 physicians to the province. His group is currently helping more than 500

physicians with licensing so that they can continue their careers here in Ontario and a further 8,000 physicians have expressed an interest in moving here. “Ontario has a net inflow of physicians since 2005,” said Ratcliffe. His group not only focuses on attracting physicians to Ontario, but in helping prepare interested doctors for testing, immigration and even helping find their spouse a job too, which can sometimes be a crucial deal-breaker. He added that, more often than not, doctors are looking for quality of life as opposed to making more money. While attracting doctors is an important part of his job, retaining new Ontariotrained doctors is another side of Ratcliffe’s job. The province is now helping see to it that recent medical school graduates are given seven months fulltime employment, so they aren’t lost to other provinces or the U.S. Photo by Desmond Devoy “Physician recruitment is one of the many Chris Farley Ratcliffe a community partnership co-ordinator with the things we discuss in this room,” said Coun.

CARLETON PLACE & DISTRICT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION | Carleton Place, ON

Heritage Fitness celebrates another great year with a gift to the CPDMH Foundation The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation is pleased to announce that the Hospital has received a gift of $5000 from the Heritage Community Fitness Centre. The gift was presented during the recent 4th Annual Get Active! Community Fitness Challenge which raised over $15,000 to help purchase a colonscope for the Hospital’s operating room. “We were excited when the Foundation approached us about hosting the Fitness Challenge three years ago and decided it would be a good opportunity to present the Hospital with a donation to celebrate the 1st anniversary of our opening,” stated Kevin Price, Owner of the Heritage Community Fitness Centre. “We are very pleased to see the Fitness Challenge grow each year and we are thrilled to continue the tradition of recognizing our anniversary by making a donation to the Foundation on behalf of our members.” Heritage Fitness opened on April 1, 2007 and at that time, the facility named the Hospital as its charity of choice. Since then, Heritage Fitness has donated more than $22,000 to the Hospital’s equipment needs, and has contributed to many events held on the Hospital’s behalf. Heritage Fitness is currently involved in the second expansion of its facility. When complete, the building will have an additional 4000 square feet which will provide bigger areas for free weights, stretching and core strength, and cardio, strength & free weight equipment. The expansion will also provide more clinic space on the second floor and a new rehabilitation and light weight area. Also involved in the expansion is the development of an acre of outdoor green space for core conditioning, rehabilitation, and performance training. “We are so happy with the relationship we have been able to build with Heritage Fitness and we can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for us in the last four years.” stated Spencer Grabe, President of the CPDMH Foundation. “As a member of Heritage Fitness, I’m looking forward to seeing the outcome of the expansion plans and on behalf of the Foundation and the Hospital I would like to congratulate Kevin and his team on another successful year in the community.” Heritage Fitness is now planning Century Tour 2011 for Sunday June 26. The event, hosted by personal trainer Jenny Andress, features an enjoyable bike ride through Mississippi Mills and cyclists have an option of choosing a 50 or 100 km route. Last year the event raised $1342 for the Foundation and this year a portion of the event proceeds will once again be donated to the Hospital.

CARLETON PLACE – The owner of an historic chip wagon will not be compensated by the town for a donation made back in 1981. The owner of the chip wagon, located near Industrial Avenue in the town’s north end, was seeking compensation from the town for the wagon that was given to the town for historical reasons. Documents presented at the community issues committee meeting on May 17 show that “it has been determined that it (the wagon) has deteriorated to the point where it is unrecoverable.” “The town has located a copy of an agreement…between Brian Costello and Mike Modowan from 1981,” said Mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “Costello was a member of council at the time.” The typewritten letter, dated May 27, 1981, and written by businessman Mike Moldowan, stated: “I have given to Brian Costello my original horse drawn chip wagon.” Moldowan also laid out the particulars of the deal. “It will be repaired and maintained in a secure location, protected from the weather,” he wrote. “It is not to be sold or disposed of, nor it is to be used for retail of chips and popcorn. It is to be used as a display vehicle of another time and will have attached a plaque stating the history and donor.” The town’s role was then laid out at the end of the letter. “If Mr. Costello is unable to meet the requirements of the above at any time in the future then the wagon must either be: 1. Taken over the Corporation of (the Town of) Carleton Place to fulfill this agreement. 2. Returned to myself or son Mike Moldowan Jr. or our heirs.” Town clerk Duncan Rogers found the agreement in the town’s files.

In staff notes to council, staffers pointed out that the agreement does not include any purchase price or compensation for the chip wagon. “The town has no record of the council ever agreeing to purchase, or compensate for the donation, or even accepting ownership of this chip wagon,” the documents stated. “Until now, staff has not been aware of any discussions about compensation for the chip wagon.” “This certainly is an agreement between two individuals,” said Coun. Louis Antonakos. “Nowhere in here do I see mentioned the Corporation of the Town of Carleton Place,” save for at the very end. A note at the bottom of the letter notes that “the town may never want this but I thought you (town staffer Keith Morris) should have a copy of the agreement.” Coun. Jerry Flynn pointed out that the town had expressed some interest in the wagon. “We assumed some sort of responsibility Photo by Desmond Devoy for that when we included that in the bud- Ken Jackson of Hopetown enjoys his hot French fries at C&D’s chip get,” said Flynn. “(But) it’s un-restorable… wagon off of Town Line Road in Carleton Place on May 19.

Mind, Body & Spirit 10 top tips to bring you the Fountain of Youth

If you are looking for a few tools to help you keep a healthy mind, body and soul here are a few basics. 1. Don’t Sweat It. It has been proven that psychological stress can be detrimental to our health. So remind yourself often to live in the moment and not let the “small things” take over your life. 2. Breath. Most of us are shallow breathers, meaning we breathe into the upper portion of our chest rather than using our diaphragm (the breathing muscle) to pull our breath deeper. This allows for us to intake more oxygen, while helping calming the body and mind. Take 5 minutes per day to practice breathing deeply. 3. Drink Water. Studies say that your body feels best when maintaining half your body weight in ounces of water per day. Your brain is 85% water your body more than 70% we are aquatic beings we need water.

4. Eat Small healthy meals often. Being mindful of fuelling our body and brain rather than fuelling our thoughts. Sticking to vegetables, fruits, proteins and good fats will help you look and feel your best. Journaling what you eats gives you 95% success rate. As you begin journaling you start to find out what foods fuel your body and what foods steal fuel from your body. 5. Cardiovascular Exercise. This is fast paced walking, jogging, running, elliptical, bicycle, any type of exercise that increases your heart rate. This builds a strong heart and promotes circulation through the entire body. This brings nutrients to the entire body, refreshing and detoxifying the body. 6. Strength Training. Builds strength around joints throughout the body.

You can practice in your own home or by joining a local yoga or stretching class. 8. Get your Sleep. This is one of the most crucial parts of your 24 hour day. When you sleep your body heals and recovers. This is really how humans recharge their batteries. 9. Put yourself first, no one else will. Take the time for your, ask yourself what you want, don’t let life get in your way. So take care of yourself and live each day as if it were your last. 10. Live out of love.

CARLETON PLACE – Members of Carleton Place’s municipal drug strategy committee are concerned about changes to how funding for area youth centres is to be dispensed. Doris Marshall told the Carleton Place community issues committee meeting on May 17 that funding to Lanark County’s five youth centres would now be dependant on providing statistical and financial reports to the county government. “They were told that they should not expect funding without proof,” said Marshall. “They will have to prove need and they’ll be competing amongst each other (for funding).” Marshall said she had no problem with youth centres being accountable for their funding to the county, but that it was harder for them to prove sustainability. “Youth centres have no core funding,” she said, with most of their funds coming through grants, donations and fundraisers. “It’s hard to keep consistent staff who develop a relationship with the kids.” Committee chair Brian Turner agreed with the need for reaching out to children at an

early age to drive the anti-drug message home. “The need for direct interaction with kids, there was a definite need for that,” Turner said. “We’re aware of a very dramatic need in the community,” said Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg, who is a member of Lanark County council. “Everybody is short of money.”

“A youth centre is as important as a road or a hospital or water. ” Doris Marshall He pointed out that about $10,000 had to be cut from youth centre funding provided by the county to the Breakfast for Learning program at area schools, leaving a budget of about $200,000 in total funding for the youth centres. Sonnenburg sympathized with an often-heard complaint from centres which are scrambling for funding.

“We’re so busy writing grant applications and looking for money that we can’t do our programs,” he said. He added that the county was getting out of the grants business because it was not within its mandate and because the amount of money we were being asked for was “growing by leaps and bounds.” “The answer in future will be no,” Sonnenburg said. However, Marshall noted that she could not stress the importance of the centres enough. “A youth centre is as important as a road or a hospital or water,” said Marshall. “Any money you spend on youth is well spent,” said Coun. Jerry Flynn. Another issue where youth and drugs intersect with dangerous results has been the issue of youth suicide. “(Suicide has been) a very grim face over the last six to eight months,” said Turner. “We’ve lost a very large proportion of young people to this toll. It has hit home very hard.” Turner added that while he would like to find a way to gauge the success of the committee’s efforts in the community, he knows that the work done by committee member Nicole Pear-

son, who lost her son to suicide, is sometimes a little too successful. Turner said that he has received word from Open Doors, who now require advance notice before Nicole walks into a

school. “They know they will get a spike in calls for service (after she speaks),” said Turner.

Be water smart at all times

For kids, the play is the thing DESMOND DEVOY Des Says

s temperatures rise, many of us cool off by jumping in the water or going for a boat ride. Whether you dive into a pool, swim at the beach or cottage, or simply take a leisurely boat ride, it is important to keep water safety in mind. Safe Boating Week is this week (May 21-29) and typically announces the start of the boating season. Drinking and boating is just as deadly as drinking and driving. According to the Ministry of Transportation, .05 blood alcohol concentration is enough to have a licence suspended. There is always a drowning risk around water, but children are especially vulnerable. The risk increases in spring as ponds, lakes and rivers begin to thaw and oftentimes the flow is at its peak. Even though the outside air temperature is rising quickly, it gives a false sense of warmth. The water temperature is still dangerously cold. Children are curious creatures. They are often drawn to fast-flowing water, but do not understand the dangers that are close at hand. Adult supervision is of utmost importance, and it’s essential no matter how well your child swims. For children under the age of five, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death. Two-thirds of these drownings happen to those who never intended to get wet in the first place, but they are often drawn to the brink of potential disaster. Unattended children are especially at risk of drowning because they are mobile and very curious. You can plan to reduce the risks of drowning during the months ahead. Stay within arm’s reach of your child at all times in and around the water. Enroll your children in swimming lessons and learn CPR and first aid. Always use a personal floatation device, such as a life jacket, when you are in a boat or a watercraft. Be vigilant – drowning occurs most commonly in swimming pools, just when parents turn their backs for a split second. Install four-sided fencing around all pools, measuring at least 1.5 metres high and include a selflatching and self-closing gate. Raising the awareness of water safety and drowning prevention for parents, caregivers, children and youth is everyone’s responsibility. Be safe. Be water smart.

The play’s the thing, wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king. It would take someone with the writing skills of The Bard himself to convince her otherwise, but the above quote, from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, hopefully proves a point. I know I’ve written about Amy Chua’s book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother before, and had wanted to leave it at that. But a recent conversation I had has forced me to revisit her recent work again. Amongst the many things Chua did not let her daughters do – along with sleepovers – was take part in drama. By depriving her daughters – and I don’t use the word lightly – of drama, she has cut them off from so much. I don’t even mean the socialization aspect – far from it. The ancient Greeks knew that the play was the thing, that plays could teach us about ourselves, each other, and our world. Recently, Almonte and District High School staged a production of the drama, The Diary of Anne Frank. But I was amazed to learn from director Anne Sheffield that, even now, so many of our young people know so little of the Holocaust, which is still within living memory. The mounting of this play was important to teach these kids a lesson not only in morality, but history too. “This one was so education in so many ways,” said Sheffield. “It’s important to talk about and remember because God forbid history repeat itself.” So often does the spectacle to the stage, the costumes, the lights, overwhelm what substance can be found in the words. There is much on the stage and screen that the feeds our baser instincts. But if you choose wisely, it can teach us more than an entire week of lessons can. We lose so much when we lose the theatre.

From page 8 It seems every person in my area code was returning empties to the Beer Store that day. The lineup was huge, and did I get some funny looks as I stood there with an armload of beer cases. When I finally reached the counter, I realized why – I was next door, at the Dairy Queen. It’s been a long time since I returned empties, but I remembered that empty cases were available. And like any good newspaperman, I never turn down anything that is free. Empties returned, I headed home again. They say there’s no place like home, but then again, those people did not have to hang a clothesline, tend to the lawn or pick up a winter’s worth of dog poop. Here’s the quick recap of those activities. CLOTHESLINE: Great thing to have in the country. Nothing smells as fresh as laundry dried on a clothesline. And nothing is as infuriating as hanging a clothesline. My tip for those attempting this project – keep the bandages in your pocket. Saves time. Especially if you leave the heavy-duty wire cutters on top of the step ladder, then attempt to move the aforementioned ladder without removing the wire cutters. The rumours are true – head wounds do bleed quite a bit. LAWN MAINTENANCE: My tip is simply this: take time to rake the leaves in the fall or at least make the effort to blow them over to the neighbour’s yard. A shovel full of leaves that have been hidden under the snow for six months weighs roughly the same as a Hyundai. As for whipper snipping, you must realize that plastic cord travelling at speeds equivalent to a hummingbird’s wings can cause severe damage to ankle flesh. POOP SCOOPING: Dog poop deposited in the backyard in the winter is easier to pick up. Clearly, it will be frozen. Same poop in the spring is not as easy

It’s time to be a good sport and come out and support Canadian Tire’s second annual Jumpstart Day on May 29. Canadian Tire locations across Canada will be donating $2 from every purchase to raise funds to help enroll children in sport and recreation programs that are financially disadvantaged. The Canadian Tire Jumpstart website states that one in three Canadian families cannot afford to enrol their children in sport and recreation activities because of financial barriers, and that participation in organized sports and recreation programs increases a child’s chance of success in life. Last year, funds raised from Jumpstart Day gave more than 18,000 children, ages four to 18, a chance to participate in sporting and recreational activities. Since the program’s launch in 2005, it has helped 300,000 kids across the country.

Canadian Tire works with more than 700 organizations and charities to discreetly identify financially disadvantaged children, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, Canadian Parks and Recreation Association and the YMCA. The Jumpstart program has supported children in more than 60 sports and recreation activities. Come out on May 29 and support the Jumpstart program in Carleton Place at 485 McNeely Ave. W. Canadian Tire Jumpstart is a registered charity. All customer donations to the Jumpstart program go towards helping children with financial needs participate in recreation and sports. For more information, or to donate to the Jumpstart program, go to: www.canadiantire.ca/jumpstart.

Tourist app puts county’s features at your fingertips geoff.davies@metroland.com

Barbecues and bug spray are handy things to have with summer just around the corner. But now there’s another tool to fire up some local buzz, and developers hope to unveil it shortly. The Ontario Highlands Tourism Organization is getting set to release a “fullfeatured” mobile application to guide tourists and locals alike through the six counties it represents: Lanark, Frontenac, Haliburton, Hastings, Lennox and Addington, and Renfrew. Available for both iPhone and iPad, the app is expected to be rolled out in phases over the summer, beginning with a business directory to be released within the next few weeks. “If you’re in the area it’s a great resource for you because you just pull out the phone and see what businesses are around you,” said Leah Piltz, the organization’s marketing and communications coordinator. The directory will allow visitors to search attractions by name, type and proximity. Instead of carrying around a

ton of brochures or planning out their trip entirely in advance, the app will give visitors on-the-go access to all that information, which is when they want it most, Piltz said. The organization awarded the appdevelopment contract to the Bellevillebased company, ReVue Design and Communications. “It’s and interactive guidebook for people,” said Meghan Hart, who led ReVue’s efforts designing the app. “A lot of what we’re focusing on is being able to share experiences,” she said. “It will allow people to create itineraries and share them…to say ‘this is what I’m up to, this is where I’m going, and hope to see you there.’” While some cities have developed similar tourism tools, Hart said, the Ontario Highlands seem to be among the first regions putting the technology to use. While there are some wireless deadzones in the area that pose a challenge to app-users, this app is being designed with as much information available offline as possible, she said. This way users still have the maps and information they need even if they step off the grid. But it’s access to the network that

brings the information to life, showing tourists literally where they stand in relation to attractions. “So it’s not a matter of filing through guide books and maps and brochures, it’s an on-demand experience…you have access to the entire region or a 10-foot radius,” Hart said. All of the tourism organization’s members will be automatically included in the app directory. To get on-board, non-members can join for free on the group’s web-

CARLETON PLACE – Two simultaneous championship games were played May 13 in Carleton Place for the county high school senior soccer title. The Carleton Place High School girls beat rival Notre Dame Catholic High School 4-1 after losing to them in regular season play. The Notre Dame boys had a better result than the girls, though the game was a close nail biter. They won in a shootout after overtime left them in a 3-3 draw. The teams had to slug it out on rainy and muddy soccer pitches, but both win-

ning teams had the luxury of playing the championship game at home. The CPHS girls scored early in their game, with Jenny Pilon hitting the net eight minutes in. Right before halftime, Notre Dame scored on a penalty kick, which Haley Emmanuel answered a minute later to send the Bears into the lead. Kristina Kenny set the Bears up in the second half, with quick back-to-back goals. Coach Paul Frey said the girls then played a control game to minimize Notre Dame’s chances. With a final score of 4-1, the CPHS Bears took the game and continued on to Eastern Ontario championships, played

May 25 in Pembroke. Notre Dame’s senior boys had a rougher road to victory in their final. “The game featured a very experienced and strong defence from Notre Dame,” said coach Robert Geddes. “Versus the high octane league leading offense of St. Johns. A fitting finale to a great rivalry.” Notre Dame’s Spencer Martin scored the first goal, only to be matched minutes later. The next two big plays alluded to the final outcome, with a penalty shot for both teams. Notre Dame scored on theirs, but goalie Brady Burke stopped the shot from Carleton Place. Kyle Skerkowski scored his first goal

of the season after halftime – but Notre Dame lost the lead after they received a red card with 30 minutes remaining, and St. John’s tied the game up at 3-3. After a scoreless overtime, the game entered a shootout. Steve Richards, Alex Wilkie and Sam Hanneman were all successful, to give Notre Dame the win. The team was ecstatic with the win and quickly ran to congratulate Burke. The Notre Dame senior boy’s team continued on to Eastern Ontario Championships, at home again, played May 25 and 26. Geddes added that he wanted to specially thank the Rotary Club and Notre Dame alumnus volunteer Andre Lamonde.

Local athletes shine at EOSSAA, set sights on eastern regionals BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

BROCKVILLE – Eastern Ontario (EOSSAA) championships for high school track and field athletes were held last week at Thousand Islands Secondary School in Brockville. Successful athletes will move on to the last qualifier before Ontario championships (OFSAA), the east regional championships in Ottawa on May 26 and 27. Athletes who placed in the top five of their events qualified the EOSSAA championships – and they were plentiful from all three area schools. Carleton Place High School qualified 22 athletes onwards, with several notable performances, said coach Brian Dickie. Graydon Rothwell qualified for five events and “has proven himself to be a force to reckon with in this neck of the woods.” Hannah Streng won midget javelin by over three metres, and Matt Rollings impressed coaches with his midget discus toss. Lindsay Abercrombie also impressed her coaches by setting a new CPHS record of 2.4 metres in the pole vault – in her first year of competing.

Almonte District High School had several athletes who placed in multiple events, including Tori Welk and Alanna Shearman with three silver medals each in the midget girls’ sprint events. Caitlin Kubiseski had a fifth place and a win in the midget girls’ 300-metre hurdles. Symon Stowe placed second in the senior boys’ 110-metre hurdles and placed again at fourth in the 4000-metre hurdles. Notre Dame brought home three gold medals and qualified several more athletes to east regional championships. Sydney McDiarmid won the midget girls’ 80-metre hurdles, and fellow midget age group competitior Andrew Cross won the javelin throw. Damonick Thomas won the senior boys’ 200-metre dash. The following athletes medaled at the championships, but those who placed fourth and fifth have also qualified to compete at the east regions. NOTRE DAME CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Sydney McDiarmid – midget girls’ 80metre hurdles (first) Caroline Phillips – midget girls’ 80-metre hurdles (third) Liam Mellor – midget boys’ 100-metre

CARLETON PLACE – Jason Clarke, coach of the Carleton Place Jr. A Canadians hockey team, made two important trips on back-to-back nights this week. He attended the Carleton Place town council meeting on May 17 to reveal that the team will be getting new yellow and blue jerseys, modeled on the Calgary Flames’ Heritage Day jerseys. On May 18, he returned to Gloucester’s Earl Armstrong Arena with Al Johnson, head of recruiting, where the team played in their final playoff games of the season. Clarke finished on a better note, as he returned with eight new draft picks, including the Canadians’ most coveted player, defenseman Kelly Summers. The Canadians then picked up more players from Summers’ team, the Ottawa Valley Titans – with Dallas Farr and Eric Guevremont, and their two protects, Tim McDonnell and Andrew Donaldson. The players drafted by the Canadians were: • Second round: Kelly Summers (RD) from Golden Lake, April 29, 1996 • Second round: Dallas Farr (F) from White Lake, July 23, 1996 • Sixth round: Ben Angus (F) from Kanata, Jan 14, 1996 • Seventh round: Austin Benson (C) from Brockville, April 16, 1996 • Eighth round: Jaren Burke (F) from Nepean, April 17, 1996 • Eighth round: Eric Guevremont (RD) from Arnprior, May 16, 1995 • Ninth round: Ryan Daniel (RD) from Kanata, Nov 7, 1996 • 10th round: Nicholas Monsour (RW) from Kanata, Jan 5, 1995 The team will be hosting a prospects camp from June 3 to 5, with more than 120 players coming from as far away as the Czech Republic. Clark reported the Motel 7 West and Baron’s Motor Inn are already booked up solid for the weekend. The team’s pre-draft camp was also successful because it attracted 95 players from all over the Ottawa Valley, from April 15 to 17. The team finished the season in fifth place out of 12 teams. Clarke noted that the Canadians beat the Pembroke Lumber Kings three times last season, only to see the Kings go on to win the national junior A championship, the Royal Bank Cup. Despite the rivalry between the Lumber Kings and Canadians, Clarke stated that a move to call the Carleton Place team its old “Kings” moniker back was not opposed by the Lumber Kings. “It was the rest of the league that didn’t want it,” said Clarke. “The Lumber Kings were ok

Home Hardware and other stores are lining up to donate materials and equipment to the build. Another local business that will be getting behind the team is The Thirsty Moose pub on Bridge Street, which will be broadcasting all 62 home and away games for this season. “We’ve got a lot of great community support,” said Clarke. “This is definitely a hockey town.” And the team is more than happy to give back too, hosting Family Day, Minor Hockey Day, Joe Crampton Night, honouring one of their devout assistants, and Public School Night. They have also given back to charity, raising:

A walk down memory lane in Appleton Eleanor Wright remembers the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s olden days DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

APPLETON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When it came time for Appletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moment in the sun, no one could make it shine brighter than lifelong resident Eleanor Wright. Like something out of a story book, Wright told an overflow crowd at the North Lanark Regional Museum in Appleton this past Sunday how she was born in a log cabin in the village. She told her story during the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official 2011 opening, for the exhibit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memories of Appleton.â&#x20AC;? Many older residents enjoyed hearing Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tales of 25-cent bus rides to Carleton Place or Almonte to see a movie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angus Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe, he always made sure that the kids had a ride to school or the movies, even if it meant that the bus was late,â&#x20AC;? said Wright. The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) also brought the silver screen to the village, with regular screenings at the Appleton Community Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a big day and a big treat,â&#x20AC;? she said of the NFB shows.

Register today for the AGH/FVM Junior Volunteer Program The Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor (AGH/FVM) are looking for dependable, compassionate, energetic students in Grades 7 to 12 to be Junior Volunteers in July and August. The Junior Volunteer Program is a great way for students to complete the 40 hours of community service they need to graduate from high school. Grade 8 graduates are now allowed to accumulate hours towards their Community Service credit. Junior Volunteer positions will be available in the Day Hospital, Physiotherapy Department, Rosamond Unit, Medical/Surgical Unit, Hairdressing Salon and in Life Enrichment at both Fairview Manor and AGH. Program organizers try to offer very ďŹ&#x201A;exible schedules to accommodate the medical needs of clients, residents and patients and the educational needs, job experience, and interests of students. Students can complete their 40 hours in one

This ad is generously underwritten by the

week if they are prepared to work Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. This allows each student exposure to at least two different areas. For example, a student might serve water and juice in the Rosamond and Medical /Surgical Units from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then assist in the Day Hospital from 10 a.m. until noon. The afternoon might include working at Fairview Manor until 4 p.m. and then returning to the Hospital to complete the evening delivery of water and juice to the Medical/Surgical and Rosamond Units from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. From the feedback gathered by Program organizers last year, students are very pleased with the variety of work involved and the exposure to different roles, responsibilities and health care disciplines. They enjoy being busy and working with a number of staff members.

The schedule also allows students to have some time for rest and relaxation during the summer months before they return to school. It also permits many to work at a part-time job. Organizers carefully select students for the Junior Volunteer Program. They ask students to ďŹ ll out an application form, provide three references, complete a criminal reference check, have their immunizations up to date and attend a mandatory training session. Each volunteer receives a job description and will be assigned to a staff mentor. What do Junior Volunteers gain? In addition to accumulating hours toward their Community Service credit, they obtain employment skills, an appreciation for those who work in the health care profession, team building and leadership techniques, friendships and a letter of recommendation. For more information or to apply, please call Anne McRae at (613) 256-2514 ext. 2226.

Appleton gets its very own museum exhibit, celebrating its history Continued from page 18 ever. The village had its share of nasty people. Speaking about the man who ran a Texaco gas station in the village, Wright pointed out that he had a “very crabby wife” in later years, and that at the station itself you could go in for some ice cream, but weren’t allowed to touch anything. REASON TO SMILE While there were darker moments though in the lives of the citizens of Appleton, Wright was able to keep the laughter going on a very hot afternoon. “I remember how sad we were that he had joined up,” she said, pointing to a photo of a dashing young man in uniform before going off to fight in the Second World War. “Because we were losing the best looking man in the village.” Another young man with a beautiful voice would have her running from her church to his church just to hear him sing in the choir.

Wright also showed photographs of the old SS 11 public school that used to be in the village. There were also sad moments that Wright touched on, but even there, there were silver linings. “There is a man in the village who is in his 70s, who has never seen his dad,” said Wright. “He was born in 1941 and (his father) was killed overseas…He said, ‘I never saw my dad.’” Wright had the honour of phoning that man up and informing him that the historical society had found a photo of his late father. Times have changed a lot since Wright’s childhood, which was reflected in the changes in social norms in her stories. On a Saturday morning at the local store, for example, “the wives were all inside shopping and the men were out here (on the sidewalk) rehashing what had gone on all week.” She also recalled how local resident Donald Caldwell got his name. There was a time when

not many people had phones in their homes, so Mr. Caldwell showed up at a home in the village that had one to call for Dr. Kelly, since his wife was in labour. The man of the house was named Donald. “If it’s a boy, you’ll have to name him Donald,” said the man. Sure enough, it was a son, and Mr. Caldwell was true to the request. After Wright’s speech, Ed Wilson, president of the North Lanark Historical Society, commended Serge Bodette for donating a pump organ to the display. The organ had originally been part of the musical portion of the worship ceremonies at the oldAppleton Methodist Church. Wilson also commended summer students Jane Henry, Tracey Regimbauld and Rebecca Latourelle, the latter of whom had been a summer student in Appleton three years ago. Latourelle has completed her work in museum studies at university and served as the exhibit’s lead curator.

Teachers and volunteers honoured for going that extra mile Celebration meeting recognizes those who went above and beyond BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

On May 17 at a celebration meeting, the Upper Canada District School board honoured volunteers and teachers who have taken the extra steps to extraordinary service in area schools. “All of our volunteers are giving people – role models for our students. But these three women are exceptional,” said director David K. Thomas in a press release. “They provide the little extras at our schools that make us that much better.” Carla MacLaughlin-Ferrill was one of the volunteers honoured for her daily time at Caldwell Street Public School. She is in charge of the school lunch program and helps with special events and extra curriculars, among other activities. Lately, she has been helping out in the busy office while the regular administrator has been ill. “I enjoy the chaos,” she said. “You get to meet them all, the kids, the parents. I enjoy that sort of thing.” MacLaughlin-Ferrill has five children, which may explain why

she can handle the chaos. She started volunteering at the school 10 years ago, and still has two children at the school, 13-year-old Spencer and Teagan, 7. Teagan said she likes having her mom volunteer at the school because “because the only time I got in a fight, she broke it up.” The teachers at Caldwell Street Public School surprised MacLaughlin-Ferrill and didn’t tell her she was nominated. They let her find out when the board called her to congratulate her on being chosen. “It was very much a surprise, and very much an honour,” she said. Several area teachers were also honoured with the Director’s Extra Mile Club Award. Maureen Dagg (Almonte District High School), Christie Reitsma (Almonte District High School) and Shelley Smith (Naismith Memorial Public School) were all presented the award. Four recipients made it onto the Director’s Wall of Excellence, including two local winners. The ADHS Robotics team and KathPhoto by Brier Dodge erine MacGregor (Carleton Place High School), were presented with the Carla MacLaughlin-Ferrill was given a special volunteer award on May 17. On May 19, she was busy honour by superintendent at Caldwell Street Public School, painting faces at the school’s Champions for Kids Gala. Eli Bennett David Coombs. was the lucky recipient of some tiger face paint from MacLaughlin-Ferrill.

Affordability tips for ﬁrst time homebuyers

(NC)—Owning your first home is a milestone as well as an exciting experience. However, many first time homebuyers can be nervous about the process, as they don’t know what to expect or how to make the best decisions. RBC Royal Bank research shows that homebuyers between the ages of 18–34 worry that buying their first home will mean living outside their means. “With the proper advice and budgeting tools you can still live within your means and purchase your first home – you can do both,” said Kavita Joshi, director, Client Strategies. “A mortgage specialist can help you understand all the financial aspects of owning your first home, by offering tailored advice and support.” Joshi offers a number of tips to help first time homebuyers stretch their dollars even further: Determine how much you can afford – before beginning your house search in earnest, review down payment options, household income, current debt, estimated monthly housing–related costs and closing costs.

CREATE YOUR WISH LIST ESTABLISH YOUR DOWN PAYMENT AMOUNT It’s helpful to establish an amount you are comfortable with prior to making your purchase. You’ll be glad to know that there are options available depending on how much of a down payment you can afford. FACTOR IN YOUR CLOSING COSTS It helps to know upfront what your closing costs will be. When calculating closing costs, it’s fairly safe to assume you’ll need at least an additional 1.5 per cent of the purchase price. GET PRE–APPROVED FOR YOUR MORTGAGE If you are unsure you qualify for a mortgage or how much you qualify for, speak with a mortgage specialist who can see if you can pre–qualify, so you’ll know what your mortgage options will be. UNDERSTAND YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS Many ﬁrst–time homebuyers give more thought to interest rates than the mortgage solution itself. While rates certainly have to be considered, the different types of mortgages, various payment structures, terms and

ﬂexibility may have a much greater bearing on your overall costs of homeownership. CONSIDER UNFORESEEN EXPENSES AHEAD OF TIME When you’re buying a home for the ﬁrst time, there are a number of related costs that you may not be familiar with, including: professional home inspection, lawyer fees, land transfer tax, property tax and property insurance. You also should take into account “one–time” costs, such as moving expenses, and ongoing costs, such as heating, electricity and water. BE REALISTIC You may be under–or over–estimating how much you can afford for a home. Online mortgage calculators make it easier to estimate accurately, by providing you with information on the maximum mortgage payment amount you can afford each month. Check your local mortgage specialist or bank for up to date information. LOVE YOUR NEW HOME Once you’ve received the keys to your new home, it will be time to sit back and enjoy every minute of being a new homeowner.

Happy 50th birthday, Almonte General Hospital Hospital celebrates anniversary and honours a special volunteer BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

ALMONTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nifty nifty, look whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50. Happy birthday to you, Almonte General Hospital. The AGH celebrated its 50th anniversary on May 19 with cupcakes at the Fairview Manor and speeches from Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, Norm Sterling and John Levi. Mary Wilson Trider, hospital CEO, reminded everyone that the hospital is actually Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201C; following the house on Ottawa Street run by the Victorian Order of Nurses and the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, across the street from the AGHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current location. The current hospital started construction in 1959, and $640,000 later, the first patients entered in May 1961. The hospital has evolved since, especially with the expansion of the birthing ward. In 1997 they renovated to become a birthing ward, which is still the fastest growing area of the hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with 18 per cent last year alone. The birthing unit had another step in 2009, when the Ottawa Valley midwives began birthing out of the hospital. The hospital now has a staff of 400 people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; significantly up from the 35 it started with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and an annual operating budget of $22 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things have certainly changed in 50 years,â&#x20AC;? Wilson Trider said.

The speaking politicians echoed her statement, and were unanimous in wishing the hospital many great days ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this will only be recognized as the start of the next 50 years,â&#x20AC;? said Levi. Levi was thankful for the benefits the hospital has given the town, and the critical care he said he has personally received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without it, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be here today,â&#x20AC;? he said. Almonte is a unique rural community, he said, because of the over-abundance of doctors who have choosen to practise at the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an attractive place for people to come and work,â&#x20AC;? Levi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hospital has been a major employer of our town.â&#x20AC;? The hospital will be detailing the history of health care in Almonte from 1903 onwards more throughout this year, as a book launch is planned for November 2011. One person who has seen many of the changes is volunteer Marg Ayre, who has been volunteering for 42 years at the hospital, in a wide variety of positions. She became teary-eyed when she was awarded a special recognition at the anniversary party for the years of work she has done, and helped to unveil the new plaque. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congratulations on your first 50 years,â&#x20AC;? recently re-elected MP Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor told the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see many more.â&#x20AC;?

To the accompaniment of a bird song symphony high in the canopy, and a wetland peeper frog chorus, spring arrived in eastern Ontario this year with a flourish of forest wildflowers. Just as the rich colours of tulip and crocus at home confirmed that a new season had begun, the sudden emergence of tree leaves across the region assured us that the cycle of life had been renewed. Since the first Arbor Day in 1872, millions of trees have been planted around the globe to enrich communities and natural habitats. We recognize that trees are also important symbols of our relationship with the wonder of nature’s living legacy. It’s not uncommon in our part of the world to plant trees in memory of individuals and their contributions to the community. During the many times I’ve walked, biked, or driven by this month’s tree of renown growing at 375 Country St., in Almonte, I never noticed the modest plaque mounted near its trunk. Thank you to Fern Martin for her nomination and the story of this shady character. In 1986, residents of the Town and Country Apartments on Country Street planted a small spruce at the front corner of the building in honour of their friend and fellow tenant George Robertson (1908-1985). Twentyfive years later, this young tree is a healthy 29 cm in diameter, 94 cm in circumference, and reaches not quite to the top of the five story building. Father of Fern Martin, Marilyn Snedden, and Rosalyn Giles, George moved to an apartment in the newly completed building after his wife Edna passed away. Although learning to cook would be a considerable challenge for many men of George’s gen-

eration at retirement age, Fern remembers that he was soon very comfortable in the kitchen. As a farmer most of his life, George was used to solving problems in a practical way with creativity. He was also happy to share his successful recipes with other residents at their potluck gatherings. Fern recalled that her father looked after gardens around town, as well as maintaining a poppy bed at Gemmill Park across the road from today’s Metcalfe Geoheritage Park. George was generous with his time in other ways too after his move to the County Street Apartments. He especially liked to take people for car rides around town, and through the countryside. George was well liked and respected in the community, and remembered by many friends for his kindness and generosity when they planted this spruce in his memory. The accompanying plaque reads “In Memory of George Robertson, by the tenants, 1986”. If you know of any other trees in our area that were planted in memory of community residents, please get in touch. When can an internet tower look like a tree? I’ll have the answer to that question when I feature the next shady character in my next column. It’s great to hear from Canadian Gazette readers. Thank you for your comments and encouragement. Do you have a favourite tree? Readers are invited to submit their nominations for an honor roll of trees in our area that could be featured in future articles. You can contact me at 613-256-2018, carle@magma.ca, or Neil Carleton, P.O. Box 1644, Almonte, Ontario, K0A 1A0. I look forward to hearing from you. These articles are a volunteer project to support the tree planting and tree awareness initiatives of the Mississippi Mills Beautification Committee.

Spring into your garden with the horticultural society PENNY HARDING The Bloomin’ News

Have you ever wondered what to plant under that big tree that shades your yard, what you could add to give colour to that area on the north side of your house, or what might survive in a bed that gets little sun? The members of the Carleton Place and District Horticultural Society had many of those problems addressed at their April meeting. Mary Ann Van Berlo of the Master Gardeners of Ottawa Carleton presented a beautifully illustrated talk on what to plant in sun challenged gardens. She emphasized the need for good site preparation and gave many tips on how to work around tree roots. The rule of thumb is to gradually add soil and organic matter over several years. It is important not to smother the tree roots. Where Van Berlo’s talk really excelled was in her pictorial discussion about plant selection. She explained how gardeners should select plants to create a design

for an area on several levels by using a variety of tall bushes, lower plants and earth level ground covers. They should remember to chose some plants that give a variety of textures and not to forget to include some plants that provide scent. An inexpensive and novel way to acquire plants suitable for shade is to introduce native plants from local wild areas into your garden. Jack-in-the pulpit, dutchman’s breeches, soloman’s seal and bracken ferns are just a few examples of what plants you might find in a wooded area near you. Some old favorites appeared in Van Berlo’s list of perennials suitable for shaded areas. Columbine, astilbe, coral bells and bleeding heart were all there. Hostas, of course, are every gardener’s standby. There are many sizes and colours available. Hostas can be quite pricey but bargain hunters should try the society’s plant sale on May 28 at the Victoria School Museum gardens in Carleton Place. There are also many annuals that can be planted to add colour to shaded areas. Begonias, both tuberous

and fibrous, come in a vibrant array of hues. Fuschias, impatiens and coleus are great for containers in shaded areas. A reminder that our May 4 meeting is our spring mini show and members should check their yearbooks to see what classes they might have specimens for. There are also several classes in the design division for people to show off their creative talents. The May meeting will also feature Mary Anne Jackson-Hughes who will speak on healthy lawns. Looking ahead to June, don’t forget to mark June 25 on your calendar for the Summer Flower Show and Tea. If you are interested in developing your green thumb please join us at our meetings.

Protests take new angle in battle against sexual violence SARAH BINGHAM Something’s a little different this year as May marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Canada. All over the country and now spreading into the United States, protests known as Slut Walks are cropping up. These events are a reaction to the shocking comments of a Toronto police officer this January at a safety meeting at York University. The officer stated that women should avoid dressing like “sluts” to avoid being raped and victimized. Not only do his comments suggest it is the victims fault for being raped, they also conjure images of women having to keep covered from head to toe so they don’t tempt men into raping them. His assertion is offensive and completely ridiculous. Unfortunately, he is not alone in his opinion. Slut Walks are a forum for women and men both to speak out against the widespread practice of blaming the victim, to speak out against sexual violence, and to speak out against the traditionally negative connotations associated with the word slut. It is a word that has been used to label, marginalize and devalue women. Based on what? Her sexuality, or more commonly, her perceived sexuality. Protestors reject the common practice of shaming a woman because of her sexuality. Whether a wom-

an is comfortable expressing her sexuality or not has absolutely no bearing whatsoever in a situation of non-consent. As the familiar chant from another famous protest, Take Back the Night, goes, “Wherever we go, however we dress, no means no, yes means yes!” In fact, having the freedom to choose to wear what we want is a pretty highly valued freedom in Canadian society. This right is equally granted to women as it is to men. As the various outfits seen at Slut Walk protests show, the way a woman dresses does not mean she wants to be raped and are not a basis upon which to judge her or her motives. Ottawa and Toronto have both already hosted Slut Walks and protests are scheduled in numerous American cities. Look for more protests coming across Canada as we observe Sexual Assault Awareness Month this May. Lanark County Interval House provides extensive support for children, youth and women who experience abuse and can refer men to the appropriate resources. All the services are free and confidential and you do not need to be a resident of the shelter to access the services. LCIH also provides shelter and support for women and their children who have experienced physical, sexual, emotional, or financial abuse. Call 613-257-5960 or 1-800-267-7946 24 hours a day for any of our services.

The representatives participated in the Slow Bicycle Race, where the winner was the person who crossed the finish line last. Despite his best efforts to avoid cars and pedal slowly, Mayor Levi lost to the Lanark Highlands Deputy Mayor, Brian Stewart. Photo by Brier Dodge
