ALMONTE – The history of Almonte, and its connection to the woolen mills that built it, now have a permanent home. “Many people in this room have waited a long time for this exhibit,” said John Hannigan, vice-president of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum during the launch of the Fabric of a Small Town exhibit on May 26. “I am sure that there are many people in this room who are bursting with pride.” One of those people was Coun. Alex Gillis, representing Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi. “We’ve been waiting for this exhibit to materialize and we’re glad it is here,” said Gillis. “It tells the history, the story of the town.” See WOOLEN, page 3

FATAL EXPLOSION

Almonte Thunder coaches and players are remembering Eric Leighton as not only a great hockey player, but a great friend. Leighton played for the junior B Almonte Thunder this season after an October trade, and was the team’s 2010-11 rookie of the

year. Leighton, 18, died in hospital at night on May 26 from injuries sustained during an explosion at Mother Teresa Catholic High School in Nepean around 10:30 a.m. that morning. The Grade 12 student was helping make a barbecue out of a 55-gallon drum when the vapours from the peppermint oil, once contained inside, set off

the explosion, said Marc Messier, spokesperson for Ottawa fire services. Leighton was knocked unconscious and covered by debris from the blast. Initial reports were released that Leighton had died instantly. That message spread quickly via social media. See FRIENDS, page 5 468197

He marveled at how the Irish preserve their history. “We wanted to walk on the soil that (my ancestors) had walked on, and that’s what you are doing here,” said Lunney of the new exhibit. Nicole Guthrie, the town’s cultural and community programmer, was delighted to see the history of the town preserved, as it is so tightly interwoven with wool. “Textiles were important to the development of this town,” said Guthrie. “I can’t believe how far this museum has come over the past 20 years. This is an important night for our community.” The museum’s curator and executive director, Michael RikleyLancaster, commended Young Canada Works student Felicity Maxwell for her hard work in conducting extensive research on Photo by Desmond Devoy the industrial Guest speaker, musician, and Ottawa Citizen columwoolen mill nist Phil Jenkins performs at the exhibit’s opening machines in night. the exhibit.

The upstairs exhibit hall has also been given a new coat of paint and new lighting. The exhibit was a long time in coming, but so too was the journey to make the museum a reality.

Alex Gillis, museum curator/executive director Michael Rikley-Lancaster, former Mississippi Mills Mayor Al Lunney and Mississippi Mills community/cultural programmer Nicole Guthrie help cut the ribbon for the official opening of the Fabric of a Small Town exhibit on May 26. “This is a permanent history exhibit,” Rikley-Lancaster underlined. “The template is permanent…we will be adding new materials as they come in.” Already, a video component is being considered, as well as an audio component to compliment it, so that visitors can witness what the machinery would have looked like and sounded like when it was operational. “I am so excited with this,” said Rikley-Lancaster. “This is a labour of love…I can’t wait to see your jaws drop.” The guest speaker for the eve-

ning was Ottawa Citizen columnist Phil Jenkins, who is also a performer. The Liverpool, U.K., native made sure to play up the contribution made by the mill workers to the plant and the development of the Almonte community. “The history of mill towns is the history of the people who worked in the mills,” said Jenkins. “So, in many ways, this is a worker’s museum…This town was built by hard labour.” Jenkins is a devotee of museums, with the first recorded museum being established in

530 BC under the Pharaoh of Mesopotamia. “He had a lot of stuff,” said Jenkins. “So he decided he wanted the people to see it and he labeled all of it.” It was under the reign of Queen Victoria that the concept of museums again gathered steam. “The idea of the public being able to acquaint itself with their own history caught on,” said Jenkins. “The past is a destination…and this museum lets you get there.”

Bikes and the people they empower GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@metroland.com

Sometimes inspiration is staring you right in the face. All you have to do is see it, and start asking the right questions. The May 18 release of local author John McKenty’s third book – Canada Cycle and Motor Company: the CCM Story – is a perfect example of what can be achieved when a seed of inspiration is given the time and tending it needs to blossom. The wheels began rolling on this project about five years ago, while McKenty was researching his previous book, Follow the Crowd, about the James Family, their historic hardware store, and how their paths, and that of Perth, are intertwined. There, on the front cover and under his nose, were the two CCM products that would get his mental pedals spinning: a bicycle and an ad for a wooden wagon, both in the storefront window beside where the James brothers posed for the photographer. As such items used to be a mainstay of the family’s hardware business, McKenty felt compelled to learn a little more about the company and its bikes, which were once the envy of many kids, teenagers and adults alike.

John McKenty, author of the Canada Cycle and Motor: The CCM Story, speaks to the Perth Historical Society on May 18, the day his history of the iconic Canadian company was released. He will be signing copies of his book at Mill Street Books in Almonte at 5:30 p.m. on June 3. Much to his surprise, records of CCM’s past were hard to come by. Many of them were shredded when the company went under in 1983, the author surmises. But it was too late to stop McKenty at that point. The wheels were already rolling and he had switched gears, determined to fill in what he considered an important hole in our national history. “To me it’s a great Canadian story,” McKenty said. “I mean, skates and bicycles (the company’s primary products), it doesn’t get any more Canadian than that. Summer and winter, they had the market covered on both ends.”

The history of what he calls the “quintessentially Canadian” company spans more than 80 years, and McKenty’s work chronicles it from beginning to end: from its golden age in the 20s, 30s and 40s, through the decades of struggle that began in the 60s, to its ultimate collapse in 1983. “It’s a great story. It includes everyone from Walter Massey of Massey-Harris farm equipment, to Bobby Hull of the Chicago Blackhawks and a multitude of folks in between,” McKenty said. Long before market pressures and labour disputes led to the company’s demise, a man named

Tommy Russell was at the helm, navigating CCM through its golden years in the early 20th century. Born on a farm near Exeter, Ont., Russell’s gift was his ability to relate to the workers, McKenty said. His employees would later recall how hardly a day seemed to go by without Russell making the rounds of the factory floor, talking to workers, asking about their wives and children. “To me, that emphasis on people first, rather than machinery or products, is…very much a Canadian approach,” said McKenty. And if there’s one lesson the corporate world of today could, in McKenty’s eyes, it comes from Tommy Russell: “no matter what your business, your greatest investment should always be your people.” How appropriate, then, that McKenty’s research led to a revelation of his own: the importance of the bicycle really stems from the people it impacts. That’s why, when his work led him to a charity called Bicycles for Humanity, he decided to donate a portion of the book’s proceeds to the group, which provides used bicycles to people in African countries. There, a bike that would’ve otherwise sat idle in a garage totally changes the lives of peo-

ple who have no other way of getting around. Getting a bike from Bicycles for Humanity may mean renewed access to water, schools, or medical attention. McKenty said he has reflected on how, decades ago, getting a bike truly revolutionized a youngster’s life. “Our world became a whole lot larger once we could get around. The bike is doing the same in underdeveloped countries as it once did in ours.” McKenty has scheduled a series of appearances to promote his book. On June 3, he’ll be at the Mill Street Bookstore in Almonte to kick off Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month. Also, Bicycles for Humanity (B4H) will be running its bike collection from May 30 to June 4, with drop-off locations in the Ottawa area, including Myers Kanata Chev on Palladium Drive. B4H ships donated bicycles from Canada to partners in Malawi and Namibia. Partners work with community organizations to provide bike mechanic training, skills in business management and convert shipping containers into bike shops to generate funds to sustain the shop and provide income for projects, including orphan care.

Area scouts hone their skills, get back to basics CARLETON PLACE – The Scouting 101: Back to Basics Camp, was held at Carleton Place’s Riverside Park on from May 27 to 29, celebrating the 101st year of Boy Scouts in the area. The camp focused on basic camping and canoeing skills. Along with camping, there were displays of canoeing, games, skills competitions and more. Scouting started in Carleton Place in 1910 by William Moore, who came to Canada to work in the area’s woolen mills. He had met Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement, during the Boer War in South Africa in 1899. It is believed that the Carleton Place troop is the second oldest in Canada, following only Merrickville. The Valley Highlands Scouting area now includes not only the two oldest troops, but also Smiths Falls, Almonte, Perth, Beckwith Township, Drummond Centre and Elmsley.

Friends remember Eric Leighton Brenna Thompson, 17, received a Facebook notification and a text message saying that her friend – whom she’d known since Grade 7 – had died. Despite having been home sick all week, she rushed over to the school immediately. She described Leighton as a caring person and a strong athlete. “He’s always been there so it’s

going to be weird not having him there, not being able to text him, go out for lunch or see him on spare,” Thompson said, noting she last saw him at prom prior to the long weekend. “He’s just a really good person. He didn’t deserve to go like this.” “Eric was a very passionate boy about hockey and life,” Almonte head coach Bill White said in an email. “He was a tremendous competitor and a great friend. All of his teammates

adored him.” “Coaching without # 3 will be very hard this coming season.” Those sentiments were shared by Thunder strength and conditioning coach Angelina Armstrong-Mann. “He was a great athlete always wanting to better himself,” she said. “He and I were planning a program for his summer training, and I was so impressed with his dedication to fitness. I will miss him dearly, as he was

always a motivator and willing to help encourage others during workouts. The loss of Eric so suddenly breaks my heart. He truly was an absolute joy to be around. I send my love and condolences to his family in this sad time.” A Facebook event page created in memory of Leighton, called R.I.P Eric Leighton, had 17,782 people attending as of noon on Monday. “I’m proud to say I knew you,”

read a message on the event’s wall from Hillary DeJong. Leighton’s funeral will be held at St. Patrick’s Church in Barrhaven on June 3. Those attending are being asked to wear purple, Leighton’s favourite colour, for the occasion.

$3.1 million lotto winners in CP DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – A coffee club of 20 members in Carleton Place believes that it has won $3.1 million in the May 25 Lotto 6/49 draw. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLGC) confirmed that the winning ticket for the draw was sold in the greater Ottawa area, and that while the cartel members had yet to approach a lottery retailer or the nearest OLGC office at the Rideau Carleton Raceway to report their winning numbers and validate their ticket, the winning ticket would have been worth exactly $3,144,361.80. That works out to more than $157,000 for each member of the club. The coffee club is reported to meet at a local restaurant, and is made up not only of local business people but two waitresses as well. The Canadian Gazette was unable to confirm the club members prior to press time.

Skatepark Santa gives youth advice BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

ALMONTE - On Tuesday evening, about a dozen boys on skateboards could be seen hurrying out of the way of a car, turning a little too quickly onto Little Bridge Street in Almonte. This is their normal skateboard spot, next to the Almonte Old Town Hall, because they have nowhere better to take their boards and practise. They are taking the first steps towards fixing the problem, as the youths, parents, and local community and council members gathered on Tuesday evening to listen to Karl Harries present on the Gananoque skatepark project. One of the youth audience members referred to Karl Harries, who admitted he is past prime skateboarding age, as “Skateboard Santa.” He presented the process that he and the Gananoque recreation initiative took from June 2008 until last spring to fundraise, approve location and designs, and ultimately build a skatepark. Harries and his committee were lucky, as they received an anonymous donation of $200,000, which helped kicked off the project. He was optimis-

tic that Mississippi Mills could raise enough to start a project, regardless of if they received a similar angel donation or not. He emphasized the principle that the park had to be designed and approved by the users. In Gananoque, they had brainstorming sessions with one adult, the landscape architect, and the youth who were interested in using it. The youth were the ones to decide on the final design. “The park is not for us,” he told the adults. “It’s for the guys sitting up here.” He also said that location is one of the most important things. They have their skatepark close to a public ball diamond – and right off the route between the police station and the Tim Hortons – so it is easily visible. The land was donated to the skatepark by the town, so it is now a town-owned facility. Everyone had a chance to ask Harries questions after his presentation, which included total cost, estimated lifespan, size in total square metres and how to form a committee. “It makes you want to go to Gananoque to use your park,” one of the youth in the audience told him.

CARLETON PLACE – Dance for dad this weekend and let your inner kid run wild, while helping a family in need. The Carleton Place Day Care will host a Dance for Dad this Saturday, June 4, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the arena, on the thawed ice surface. “That’s for one of our parents who passed away who had two kids who went here,” said Daphne Murray, the day care’s administrative assistant, said of Ed Roberts, who died this past January of cancer. “He was such a wonderful dad and even when he was facing a bad time, he always had a smile on his face.” “He really connected with his kids,” said Casey Fallak, supervisor of the pre-school. “He always put them first.” All of the proceeds from the event will go to a trust fund set up for Roberts’ sons. Tickets are $5 for the event, which requires identification for entry, and can be purchased at the day care, or by calling 613-253-0597, ext. 221. “We’ve got a lot of response from our community,” said Murray.

For the latest breaking news...

“Kids are expensive, especially on one income,” said Fallak. The dance will feature the Retro Rockers, Johnny Spinks, and DJ Mike Dobson, all of whom have donated their time. “It should be great,” said Murray. “We’ve got great dancers here,” said Fallak. The day care children are already busy at work on thank you cards for everyone who donates to the fund. “That shows, from a very young age, that they’ve got a good heart,” said Murray. While the dance will be for the adults, in true day care fashion, there will be a morning event for the youngsters to see life-size Hot Wheels. The “Mighty Machines” will be on display from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and run the gamut from fire trucks, police cars, an ambulance, a digger, a dump truck, a motorcycle, and a mini transport. The morning, kid-friendly activities will also feature face-painting, a balloon artist, barbecue, bake table, a sand box with trucks and other activities at 3 Francis St., in Carleton Place.

ississippi Mills could have a shrinking council. Mayor John Levi has officially introduced a motion to lessen the number of representatives on town council. The proposed format would see a mayor, deputy and five councillors elected – two for Almonte, two for Ramsay and two for Pakenham. Mississippi Mills has a population of 11,734 – with 11 representatives. That works out to one rep per 1,173 people. In comparison, Carleton Place’s structure – the same structure Levi proposed for Mississippi Mills – serves a population of approximately 10,000 people. If the City of Ottawa followed the same formula of equal representation by population, there would be a whopping 689 representatives sitting on city council! They would have to build a new city hall, and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson would still be learning all of their names. There are pros and cons to any change, but this is a decision that needs to happen for council to make major progress on large issues in the Mississippi Mills area. Councillors have raised the point that it would be harder for new candidates to get elected to council. New candidates offer a benefit to council, no doubt – with fresh blood and new ideas. But too many new councillors just isn’t time efficient. Too much time ends up being spent going back and forth explaining policy and procedural aspects of meetings, rather than discussing issues and making decisions. To be clear, we believe it’s OK to have questions: councillors should ask questions. That’s part of their job in representing their constituents. That’s why instead of suggesting the new councillors need to ask fewer questions, having fewer bodies in the room is the practical solution. Town staffs are often long-standing and wellversed in a variety of municipal situations and outcomes. It is important for councillors to understand the decisions being made, but having too many viewpoints can lead to an inefficient discussion over the logistics of a solution or idea, instead of its merits or issues with its implementation. Levi’s proposal for a smaller council is a good one that should be expected to produce accelerated progress in Mississippi Mills’ growth.

CP drug committee continues fight for youth centre funding To the Editor; Thank you for the article highlighting the accomplishments of the Carleton Place municipal drug strategy committee as presented to our town council during the community issues committee meeting held on May 17. (“CP drug committee fights for youth centre funding,” May 26, page 7.) It is fantastic to have such wonderful support from the Canadian Gazette for our initiatives. Most of this article highlighted our efforts to ensure all members of council understand the importance of our youth centre and those in Almonte, Perth,

Smiths Falls and Lanark Highlands. We see youth centres as an integral part of our communities and they are often the first and only place our youth go when they need help, companionship and support. In short, we believe these centres to be life-sustaining and lifesaving for youth in Lanark County. To this end I wish to address a few points present in the article. All youth centres in Lanark County received funding again this year from the County of Lanark, through the social See YOUTH, page 9

CORRECTION In our May 26 page 5 story “Historic chip wagon owner will not be compensated by town,” we stated that “The owner of the chip wagon, located near Industrial Avenue in the town’s north end.” The historic, horse-drawn chip wagon has indeed been placed behind a building off of Industrial Avenue, but the old wagon’s owners, Mike’s Fries, continue to operate from their College Street location beside the Carleton Place post office.

By now, New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton is the leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition. It is perhaps fitting that he should rise in the House of Commons this week, his young and restless caucus behind him, in the year of the 50th anniversary of the founding of his party. For the past month, I certainly hope that Layton has enjoyed his honeymoon. There is indeed much work to be done, for he may have convinced Canadians that he was a better alternative to lead the opposition than the Liberals. Now he has to convince them that he and his party are the government-in-waiting. The Canadian political graveyard is full of promising parties that soared quickly, but got too close to the sun, and fell to dwell once more at the bottom of the polls, on the fringes of relevance. One of the best examples comes from the province his party now represents – Quebec. In 2007, Jean Charest was then as he is now – arrogant and unpopular. Mario Dumont’s Action Democratique du Quebec soared from four seats to 41, reducing the Liberals to a minority. About a year later, another election, another roll of the dice, and they came crashing back to earth, with a small Bloc Quebeois-like rump of seven seats, having proven their incompetence, and leaving Quebeckers heaving a sigh of relief that they hadn’t gone all the way in electing the ADQ to government. Back in 1988, Sharon Carstairs’ Liberals fed off dissatisfaction with the Manitoba NDP, and became the official opposition overnight, going from one to 20 MLAs. In the next election, the Liberals were once again in third place. Here in Ontario, Stephen Lewis’ NDP were the official opposition from 1975 to ’77, but they did not prove to have staying power. Enjoy the ride Jack. But remember that for as slippery and treacherous the climb was up, so too is it a quick ride back down.

Say goodbye to graffiti

Youth centre needs town support Continued from page 8 services budget, and they are required to provide interim and final reports to the county as well as audited financial statements. The county will evaluate each centre’s request annually and the youth centres should not count on annual funding. I believe this will put all youth centres at a distinct disadvantage. The county has also asked for a three-year sustainability plan explaining how the youth centres will become self-sufficient and not reliant on county funding. This will be difficult to achieve as no youth centres in Lanark County have core funding. The youth

centres work as part of a coalition and together they are planning for self-sustainability. In the interim, it is imperative that our members of council commit to support, both financially and otherwise, to ensure the success and future of our youth centre. Each member of the Carleton Place drug strategy committee shares this commitment and stands proudly behind our local youth centre and our youth.

House tour last chance for public to see Naismith House After long hiatus, tour of six houses will raise funds for Almonte hospital

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – With the Naismith House up for sale, the Almonte General Hosptial/Fairview Manor Town and Country House Tour may be your last chance to see the historic property. The 1855-era heritage property, which was recently put on the market for $1.2 million, is one of six properties on the tour. It is the first time that the owners have allowed the upper floor of the childhood home of the inventor of basketball to be opened to the public. “This is your last chance to see it before it is sold,” said tour co-ordinator Rhonda Tees. This is the first time in many years that the hospital foundation has had a house tour. “It takes a lot to organize,” said Tees, a board member on both the hospital and hospital foundation boards. “There was always something going else going on…and we couldn’t get to it.” The Naismith House on Highway 29, just north of Almonte, might be the most well-known

The birthplace of Dr. James Naismith, off of Highway 29 north of Almonte, will be one of six historical and noteworthy homes in Almonte, Pakenham and Appleton that will be part of the Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor house tour this June 11. property on the tour, but the remaining five are just as grand. “We have a fantastic mix of homes and properties from large to small, heritage to chic,” Tees said. The homes also take in the

Mississippi Mills communities of Almonte, Appleton and Pakenham. One of the more “chic” accommodations is one of the condos on the water in Almonte, looking out over a waterfall near the Riverwalk.

The Georgian manor in Pakenham is also part of the tour. “It’s a really spectacular home,” said Tees. “It’s very authentic to the period…You walk in the front door and there is a huge staircase and two storey entrance.” Because the tour has had a long hiatus, there has been a lot of groundwork undertaken to relay the foundations of the tour. “There are hundreds and hundreds of volunteers working to get this off the ground,” said Tees. “There’s lots of people stepping up to make sure that it is a success.” Tees admitted that she herself enjoys a bit of a voyeuristic look-around when visiting new places. “It’s so interesting to see how other people live,” she said. She added that she is very glad that three communities were able to take part in the event. “It’s a true Mississippi Mills event,” she said. “We really wanted to have something in the whole community.” Tees added that all of the proceeds from the tour go to the hospital.

“We’re the only hospital in the area that still delivers babies,” said Tees. “It really is a lovely, lovely facility. We’ve got everything from birth to the later stages of life. It’s really a worthy cause.” The tour runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 11, with tea served at the Old Fairview Manor in Almonte from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person. Tickets can be purchased by calling the hospital foundation office at 613-256-2514, ext. 2296 from 8 a.m. to noon, or by calling Lesley at 613-256-4666 or Marilyn at 613-256-3021.

Legion’s Canada Day beer tent gets green light DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – Mayor Wendy LeBlanc recently had a bad case of calendar shock; that moment when you realize that an upcoming event is closer on the calendar than it seems. Carleton Place town council held the first-ever special meeting of the 122nd council on the afternoon of May 26. Held in record time, the council unanimously endorsed a motion from the Carleton Place branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to host a beer tent at Riverside Park this Canada Day. “The reason that we needed to do this was that we needed three weeks to get the liquor licence,” said LeBlanc. “Time was of the essence.” Town council usually does not meet on the fifth Tuesday of the month – if a month has a fifth Tuesday – and so the next regular council meeting would have been on June 7, which would have been cutting things rather fine. Thankfully, councillors were on hand for the beginning of demolition of the old Canadian Tire site on Beckwith Street on May 26, so soon after, they quickly returned to town hall to pass the motion. “I know how special days creep up on you,” said LeBlanc. “The Legion has had a beer tent at Canada Day for quite a while; at least 12 years.” Coun. Rob Probert added that the beer tent has some unintended good results. “It’s an excellent form of crowd control at Canada Day,” said Probert. LeBlanc also had a chance to meet Premier Dalton McGuinty that evening in Ottawa. “I’ll be whispering in his ear about our hospital,” said LeBlanc. “I’ve never met him,” though she did see him speak at the last Good Roads conference this past February.

Teachers team up to combine science and design Almonte District High School students build laser light tables BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

ALMONTE – What happens when a Grade 10 science class meets up with a Grade 10 design class? Laser beams and light tables was the result this year at Almonte District High School. Sue Neilson and Andy Carruthers were among the teachers who put their heads together last spring to figure out how to show science’s real world application to their students. They received a grant to release teachers for time to work together on identified problems. “Our board has been spending a lot of time working with identifying a learning problem – which Andy and I did with Grade 10 science,” Neilson said. “We used the time for coplanning, co-teaching and brainstorming together.” Carruthers used to be a mechanical designer before switching to teach-

ing seven years ago, so he knew about the heavy integration between science and design in real life. His design class linked up with Diane FiddlerGrey’s Grade 10 academic science class this year to work on a project that would use both skills. “What kind of cool product could they make in design class, that they learned in science?” Neilson said. “It turned out being kind of cool, they made a light table.” Carruthers and Fiddler-Grey worked in each other’s classes to teach the students about the cross over applications and work on the light table project. The light table is a game, where students use a dollar store laser to try and hit a target – moving the light from point A to point B. There are light-blocking obstacles in the way, and mirrors and prisms had to be used in order to win. Different students had different themes and ele-

ments, such as trees or more mirrors to customize their light table, Carruthers said. NEXT YEAR It was also a learning experience for the teachers. He said they learned what worked, and what they need to change in order to run the project again next year. The teachers said they hope that next year, the right combination of science and design classes can run simultaneously – so science class just won’t feel like science class to students who would rather be working on design. “Contextualized units are just good teaching, so we wondered in we could blow it out,” said Neilson, referencing the special high skills major courses that ADHS runs. “It’s exactly what we did and it was a huge success.”

Students at Almonte District High School combined design and science learning to produce this laser light table. The aim is to use a small laser pointer and a combination of items to hit the target at the back with the light. The classes matched up after a grant allowed teachers to put their heads together to develop for the creative project.

Rob and Sam, owners of Milano Pizzeria on Bridge Street in Carleton Place are no strangers to the “pizza” business, or to each other. They grew up as neighbours in their homeland of Lebanon. Getting to know each other in Beirut led to a friendship that carried them all the way to Canada, where they first worked for Milano Pizzeria back about 20 years ago.

Now as the owners of their own Milano franchise here in Carleton Place for the last four years, the duo have become a part of the community, not only through serving hundreds of great pizzas, but also in their belief of getting involved in some community events and fundraisers that they see are important to support. They currently take pride in their partnership with local schools, by providing healthy low fat lunches to students showing them that low fat alternatives can still taste great while leading a healthier lifestyle. Milano Pizzeria, at 26 Bridge Street has quite a following here in Carleton Place, serving up pizza and other menu items that have become favourites during lunch hour and beyond.

CARLETON PLACE – If you’re hungry for a controversial KFC Double Down, you’ll now have to go to Smiths Falls or Ottawa to get one. The Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet in Carleton Place, at the intersection of Moore and Munro Streets, was shut down at the end of the work day on Sunday, May 29. “We were told that there was an important staff meeting at 6 p.m. on Sunday and everyone must attend,” said Joanne Beauchamps, an assistant manager and

cashier, who worked at the KFC for three years. A manager had been brought in to break the bad news. The manager relayed to the nine staffers – three full time, six part time – that the company was in transition. “Unfortunately, we were not part of that transition,” said Beauchamps, a resident of Beckwith Township. Several other KFC locations in eastern Ontario were also closed down. “We were like a big family,” Beauchamps said. “We did some crying yesterday and hugging…It was a hard day yesterday.” She said that the workers had not heard

Some customers were said to be in shock at the news. “We had two, maybe three customers come in this (Monday) morning and we told them we were closed,” said Beauchamps.

If you or a loved one has signed a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form, make sure that it is visible, and that people know about it. “If we find you lifeless, we have to do everything we possibly can to save you and resuscitate you,” said Downey. “This is what we need to know.” Some people have living wills spelling out that they do not want to be resuscitated, but “we can’t honour them,” and they need to see the official DNR form. “You can’t just say you have one,” said Downey. “We need to see it.” While many ambulance calls are filled with high drama and emotion, occasionally, they come with their own dose of humour. Downey once overheard a call go out for an ambulance to attend to a 17-year-old girl who was having a reaction. Downey wondered if it might be a bee sting. What was the teen’s problem? “The 17-year-old woman drank some milk and then realized it was past its expiry date and she wanted to be assessed,” said Downey. “Our goal is to take you to the hospital, even if you’ve only drunk expired milk.”

Warblers here in numbers Strictly for the Birds

Last week I mentioned eastern bluebirds and their nesting boxes. This week, I’ve had an email from a gentleman who lives not far from the couple whose bluebirds flew away. They may have moved to his property. In any case, these bluebirds have set up housekeeping since earlier this spring. The tree swallows have been kept away from the boxes. Another nest box has been relocated behind the shed, and the swallows are in possession. The property owner is pleased to see both species. The MMRA group were out birding in the McDonalds Corners area, and spotted 24 species on May 8. Several warbler species have returned in numbers now, and with very small leaves on the trees, they are easier to see. In the trees around our house, May 8, many yellow-rumped warblers were flitting from branch to branch and tree to tree. Along with them were pine warblers, singing lustily. In the background I could hear the songs of black-throated green warblers.

An eastern phoebe was on lower branches. We still have one or two darkeyed juncos that have not moved north yet. With the report of a yellow rail in the Carden Plain area, we decided to go there to see if we could hear it, at least. The Carden area is very close to the Kirkfield lift locks. When we arrived, and had turned onto the sedge wren marsh road, in the distance we heard sandhill cranes calling. Six species of sparrows were calling and we saw three of them. Song, chipping, swamp, savannah, field, and vesper sparrows were tallied. No luck with the yellow rail, but we did hear a sora calling. The other bird we hoped to see was a loggerhead shrike. We scanned several areas and roads here, but no shrike. Our picnic lunch over, one last look was taken. A lady parked near us was just putting her scope away. Had she seen one we asked. Yes. Up went our scope, and there was one loggerhead shrike. Time to go home. Please call Lynda: 613-256-5013, or email bennett@magma.ca, with bird reports.

The Hub celebrates birthday number 37 brier.dodge@metroland.com

ALMONTE – Every Thursday, 92-year-old Jack Barr comes to the Hub to complete his volunteer shift at the second-hand store on Mill Street. He did plan to retire when his 93rd birthday comes in June, but at the Hub’s birthday party on May 2, he was tempted to change his mind. His girlfriend, 92-year-old Marjorie Buttrum, who he met on a Mills Home Support trip, also volunteered at the Hub but retired several years ago. Together, they were the guests of honour and cut the cake at the birthday party. “I don’t want to replace him,” said the Hub president Glenda Jones. “He’s an amazing man and we just love him – and Marjorie is such a sweet soul.” The Hub is not just a second-hand store, but a meeting hub for the mostly retired volunteers that faithfully take their half-day shift every week. “I wouldn’t miss a Wednesday for anything,” said Jones, who schedules her vacations around her weekly afternoon shift. “Everyone who walks through the doors is a friend.” Everything was for sale for only 37 cents at Friday’s sale, with all proceeds going to the Hub’s charitable efforts. The Hub sponsors charity organizations throughout the community, raising at least $40,000 annually to support kids, adults, museums – and everything in between. Since Christmas, some of the more notable donations

have gone to the amateur radio club for an emergency radio system, towards a new automatic door at the Almonte Public Library and for a sound system at the textile museum. Jones was also very happy this week to receive news that one of the women they had helped to take paralegal studies at Algonquin College had just got a job in her field. “They all come back and say thank you,” said Jones, of the people who are given the extra boost they need from the Hub for postsecondary training. The Hub also raises money through monthly auction items, which are some of the bigger items that are donated. The auctions raise $600 to over $1,000 a month, Jones said, which goes towards a special emergency fund for a helping hand. The fund goes to support those who may have lost items in a fire, need special medical treatment, or help to purchase a wheelchair. The members are increasing their presence online as well, as a volunteer’s husband recently created a website at www. thehubalmonte.com “Most of us are retired, and that says something too,” said Jones. “It keeps us young – and off the streets.”

Step forward for condos and farmers market as demolition begins Councillors chip away at old Canadian Tire building on Beckwith Street

BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – The first pieces of cement were hammered off the old Canadian Tire building on Bridge Street on May 26, in what Mayor Wendy LeBlanc called “the beginning of the end, and the end of the beginning.” LeBlanc and councillors took their chance to swing the hammer at the sides of the building until the sand used for insulation poured out onto the concrete. BIA representatives expressed excitement over the new potential commercial space for the town. “We’re really excited, having some sort of a real hub of entertainment,” said Cathie McOrmond from the BIA. The town hopes to have a stage along with the farmers market on the property on Beckwith Street. While councillors only put a dent in the front of the building, the entire demolition is scheduled to have been completed by the end of June. The entire project and pavilion will

still be one to two years away said Coun. Rob Probert. He said the town still needs to raise funds to fully pay for the cost of the build. The plot was controversial as of late, as a town-financed groundwater monitoring study found perchloroethylene, also known as perc, below the property as reported in February. Council had budgeted for remediation of the land, and the Ministry of the Environment was reported to consider some of the affected land as uninhabitable and would not allow structures with interior rooms to be built there. The new plans for the northern portion of the site include a threestorey building with retail on the first floor, and condominiums on the top two floors. The

condominium project has been designed, but not yet contracted out, councillors said. The demolition will be simultaneous with construction and revamping of Beckwith Street, adding a turning lane

and new curbing. The town bought the property in 2008 at the low cost of one dollar. “I don’t even know if we gave them the buck,” said town treasurer Phil Hogan, right before demolition began.

Sports Area athletes set to compete in provincial track and field championships brier.dodge@metroland.com

All three area high schools sent athletes to the East Regional track and field meet in Ottawa last week, and students from all three returned with medals and qualifications to the provincial championships (OFSAA). The meet is held from Thursday until Saturday in Sudbury. Many medals were brought home by the successful students, and those who placed in the top four qualified to OFSAA, which is known as one of the largest track and field meets in North American, said Carleton Place High School coach Brian Dickie.

“Stress Busters” for the Naismith Memorial Sandwich Generation Public School to welcome new principal in September FRED MCGUIRE

BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

ALMONTE - There will be a new face in the office at Naismith Memorial Public School this September. The Upper Canada School Board announced new principal and vice-principal appointments for the upcoming school year on Monday, which included a principal change for the Almonte elementary school. Marg Fritz will be outgoing as Naismith Memorial Public School’s principal, and will move to Drummond Central Public School in September. Gail Brant is the new principal at Naismith Memorial Public School, coming from a principal job at Prince Charles School in Belleville. She will relocate to Arnprior this summer and wanted to work in the Upper Canada School Board – and she has found herself at Naismith Memorial. “I went for a walk around the school on Friday night, and it’s a beautiful school and a beautiful community,” Brant said. “I will be meeting staff and students before the end of the school year.” Brant has worked in her current school board for 22-years,

and is well versed in education, with 22 years of teaching experience, and nine years of experience as an administrator. She said her recent projects at Prince Charles have included focusing on the school effectiveness indicators, which are used to identify the strengths and the needs of schools. Brant highlighted respect in her work and how she wants to lead her staff and students – and have them treat each other. “I think what they’ll discover very quickly is that my number one priority is respect,” she said. “I will treat every child in the school the way I want my own children to be treated.” Ron Ferguson has officially been appointed as principal at Pakenham Public School, where he has been acting principal this year. Brent Brown will be the new vice-principal at R. Tait McKenzie Public School, coming from a vice-principal role at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. The Upper Canada Catholic School Board has not yet released new principal and viceprincipal appointments for the 2011-12 school year.

You may have been too busy to realize it, but April was Stress Awareness Month. Sponsored by the Health Resource Network, a nonprofit health education group, Stress Awareness Month promotes awareness about potential ways to reduce stress in our lives. And if you’re a member of the “Sandwich Generation” (caring for aging parents while supporting your children), you may well have plenty of stress to deal with — especially financial stress. That’s why you may want to look at this month as an opportunity to explore ways of “de-stressing” yourself.

To understand the scope of the problem facing people in your situation, consider this: One out of every eight people aged 40 to 60 is raising a child while caring for an aging parent, according to the Pew Research Center. The definition of “eldercare” can range from having the parent living in one’s home to helping pay for the parent’s stay in an assisted living or nursing home facility. When you consider the costs involved with this type of care, added to the expenses of raising your children and possibly even providing some financial support to them as young adults, it’s easy to see how you could potentially face enormous strains, both emotionally and financially. To help ease this burden, consider these suggestions:

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER! We welcome them! How about you welcome them with a new addition to the family such as... SPUD. A delightful 4 year old, Hound X, male, neutered) A handsome lad that’s oh so personable, whose tail just can’t stop wagging! He is very affectionate, and loves to go outside and play. A medium sized dog with lots of energy and would be perfect for an active family. For more info call Pam from the Don’t Litter Spay/ Neuter Rescue Program. (613)253-6369.

Delegate. You eventually may have to take some responsibility for your parents’ care — but you don’t have to do it alone. You could, for example, work with a trust company, which can be invaluable if your parents are incapacitated and useful even if they aren’t. A professional trust company can help manage your parents’ investments, pay their bills, keep their records and supervise distribution of their assets to beneficiaries. In short, a trust company can make life a lot easier for you.

Stress Awareness Month lasted only 30 days, but by taking the right steps, you can help de-stress yourself for many years to come. After all, just because you’re part of the Sandwich Generation doesn’t mean you have to be “squished.”.

Understanding How Mutual Funds Work Begins with

Save. If you’re part of the Sandwich Generation, you’re probably close to your own retirement — so you need to save for it. But this may not be easy. Because you can’t predict the future, you won’t know how much financial support you may someday have to provide your parents. And even after your children are grown, they may need some help from you. Unfortunately, in helping your children, you may end up disrupting your day-to-day income and dipping into your savings. That’s why it’s important to try to “pay yourself first” by deferring part of each paycheque into your RRSP. Talk. Many people in the “Greatest Generation” (over age 80) have not even prepared a will. If your parents are in that group, talk with them about preparing one. Also, find out who, if anyone, is handling their investments. If your parents have a will, you need to know whether they’ve created a power of attorney or how they’ve titled their assets.

It’s best to have these conversations sooner rather than later.

Reserving Your Seat. When it comes to investing, there’s no better place to start than with the basics. That’s why Edward Jones is hosting the free seminar A Smart Start to Mutual Funds. Join us to learn how and why mutual funds work, as well as why they may be important to helping you meet your long-term goals.

When: June 28, 2011 , 6:30 p.m. Where: 83 Little Bridge Street, Unit 102, Almonte

TIGHT SQUEEZE ON FRANKLIN STREET The driver of a tractor trailer inspects his vehicle and the front end of the car his truck had collided with on May 26. The truck blocked off the one-way section of Franklin Street in Carleton Place between Bridge and Beckwith streets for a time, after the truck took the front bumper off of the car.
