Appleton residents make plea to council River levels killing trees BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPPI MILLS – Mike O’Malley came to the Mississippi Mills council meeting on Monday with a plea to negotiate with Enerdu, a power generation company bought by Thomas Cavanaugh Construction in 2010. O’Malley represented the Appleton Community Association at the meeting held on Monday night, where he presented on what he called the “Almonte to Appleton environmental mess.” There is a stretch of wetland property that runs from Almonte to Appleton covering more than 1,000 hectacres, he said. There has been a significant decline in the wetlands health over the past few years, due to flooding, he said. “Elevated water leads to the drowning of roots,” said O’Malley. “We’ve got dead and dying trees… what we’re gaining is an algae bloom.” See STUDY, page 2

Sculptors work on a statue of James Naismith, dedicated in April 2010 at Springfield College in Massachusetts. An identical artwork of the inventor of basketball will be unveiled in Almonte on July 23. Two of Naismith’s grandsons will return to the town in July to see the dedication of the permanent statue.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Mississippi Mills will welcome some

very special visitors for the unveiling of the James Naismith statue this summer. Naismiths’ grandsons Stuart and Jim Naismith have confirmed their attendance this summer, said Al Rae, Naismith Foundation Chair. Stuart Naismith will attend with his wife Peggy from New

York state, and Jim will make the long trip up from Texas. Rae said both have visited the town many times over the years, and may have other family members joining them. “Stuart’s been a real supporter, as has Jim,” Rae said. See NAISMITH, page 5 468197

Study of water levels underway: conservation authority Continued from front According to O’Malley, Enerdu altered the height of their plant in 2008 and subsequently raised water levels. He said that when the flashboard extensions, used to control the water to produce more power, are in operation, the water is elevated downstream. O’Malley is concerned about flooding in the Appleton wetlands, and said that Enerdu uses flashboards to temporarily raise the water in the summer months to produce more power. He wants Enerdu to refrain from using the boards this summer in the hopes that it will lower water levels and help bring the trees back to life. O’Malley said the flash boards raise the water level half a metre, which is allowed in the water management plan. “They operate to the letter of the plan, they do not violate it in any way,” he said. “The problem we have is with the plan itself.” The Appleton Community Association wants to work with the Ministry of Natural Resources to amend the Mississippi River water management plan. “We have a problem though,” O’Malley said. “The clock is ticking and this wetland has been under stress for four years. Mississippi Mills has a long established

the Ministry of Natural Resources to quickly enact change. “We have times where we haven’t been in direct responsibility and have pressured MNR,” said Coun. John Edwards. “They have reacted; they put someone on the file.” It is a complicated situation, which O’Malley presented through a timeline of photos and information he had gathered. O’Malley’s talk was a presentation to council, so it was not a formal action for a vote. “I think you have done something really valuable,” said Coun. Alex Gillis. “There’s a hell of a lot of concern.” AUTHORITY CONDUCTING STUDY

A Ministry of Natural Resources representative could not be reached for comment on the cause of the flooding. Paul Lehman, general manager of the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, is well aware of the problem with the wetlands. He said that the current water levels are very high for this time of year due to the heavy spring rain, and the current water flows are probably due to heavy rainfall. When it comes to determining the source of long-term flooding, Lehman doesn’t know yet – but has a study underway. In terms of flashboards, he said he isn’t sure what their role has played in the water levels quite yet. “It may have an influence, but I can’t be conclusive at this point,” he said. “We’re undertaking a bit of a study to see what kind of influence the flashboards may or may not have.” He said that the intent is to take the study – a hydraulic analysis – to the advisory committee of the water management plan, which O’Malley sits on as a citizen. Enerdu operates under the water management plan that is set for the Mississippi River. Lehman said he hopes the study will be completed within the next month.

Enerdu is not to be confused with the other hydroelectric facility in Almonte, the Ottawa River Power Corporation, which is not involved. Ron Campbell from Enerdu Power Systems was present at the council meeting, but declined to comment at this time outside of saying “at the current time, we’re considering what steps to take.” He cautioned some aspects of the presentation may not have been accurate, but the company is withholding comment for now.

Naismith statue includes peach basket, basketball Continued from front The Naismith statue was created at Kansas University by Elden Tefft, a sculptor in his 90s. Naismith was the first basketball coach at Kansas University, from 1898 to 1907. Tefft created two identical statues – one to come to Mississippi Mills, and one for Springfield College in Massachusetts, where the first game of basketball was played in December 1891. The statue has Naismith sitting down, resting a peach basket between his legs. He holds a basketball on one knee, and his spectacled face resting in a small smile. It is at “heroic size” said Rae, which means 25 per cent larger than life. The statue will sit in Centennial Square in Almonte, near Baker Bob’s, decided in a unanimous vote at the town’s recreation and culture meeting in September.

It has taken some time to “cross the t’s and dot the i’s,” Rae said, but the town has

“Few towns have such a connection that’s had a worldwide impact.” Al Rae been eager to get the statue of it’s arguably most famous resident in. The total cost of the statue and events are high, but the Naismith Foundation has been lucky to receive many donations. The Almonte Civitan Club donated $2,000, the Naismith Basketball Association $5,000, the town of Mississippi Mills $5,000, Ontario Basketball $5,000, Blessed Sacrament $2,000 and a final

$5,000 from McGill University. There are also several board members who have made personal donations. “The statue reminds residents of Lanark and our neighbours to the south that Naismith was a Canadian,” Rae said. The statue dedication is just one part the upcoming events for Naismith’s 150th birthday year. There will be different events, including the annual 3-on-3 tournament, throughout the summer and fall. “The focus is to preserve the legacy,” said Rae. “Few towns have such a connection that’s had a worldwide impact.” Stuart Naismith, grandson of Dr. James Naismith stands beside a statue, by scupton Eldon Tefft, of his famous grandfather.

CPDMH Foundation busy planning the 9th Annual Bed Pan Classic Golf Tournament Activity within the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation is increasing as the date approaches for the 9th Annual Bed Pan Classic Golf Tournament and Auction. The event will be on Monday, June 20 at the beautiful Mississippi Golf Course and the funds raised from the tournament will be used to purchase equipment for the Hospital’s diagnostic imaging department. “We are very fortunate to have the Mississippi Golf Course as the setting for the Bed Pan Classic and I can’t thank Dan Kolar and his team enough for everything they do to ensure the day goes smoothly for our golfers,” stated Chantelle Troy, Manager/Community Relations Officer of the CPDMH Foundation. “We are thrilled to once again have a full tournament with 144 golfers participating in the event and I know it will be a great day of golf.” The 9th Annual Bed Pan Classic will see the return of DICA Electronics as the ICU Sponsor and Stantec Architects as the Amb Care Sponsor of the event. In addition, RBC, Scotiabank and TD Canada Trust have also returned as Emergency Sponsors. Carleton Ford will once again sponsor a hole in one contest with a car as the prize. Other hole in one sponsors include RBC Commercial

and Rivington Suzuki. The tournament is also pleased to have Motion Creative Printing continuing as the signage sponsor. As in prior years, registration and lunch for the tournament begins at 12:00 pm, followed by a shotgun start at 1:00. Each golfer will receive a registration kit sponsored by Giant Tiger and a team photo sponsored by Ferguson Graphics. A buffet dinner and a live auction will follow the round of golf. Some of the items available for the auction include a tool box from G.H. Metals, an annual membership to Heritage Fitness, a full page ad in the Canadian Gazette and tickets to the Capital Hoedown provided by the EMC. The Canadian Golf and Country Club, Lanark Cedar, Heritage Optometric, Mahon Pools and The New Oak Tree are also sponsors of the live auction and have graciously donated items for the event. “This tournament has become very successful because of the involvement of the business community and I am so grateful for their support,” continued Ms. Troy “The tournament also has a great volunteer committee organizing the event and without their help the Bed Pan Classic would not exist.”

In 2010, the Bed Pan Classic raised nearly $34,000 for the equipment needs of the Hospital. Anyone requiring more information on the Bed Pan Classic, including sponsorship opportunities or ways to support the auction is asked to contact the CPDMH Foundation by phone at 257-2200 ext 856 or by email at ctroy@carletonplacehosp.com.

THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL FOUNDATION He may be the mayor of Merrickville, but it’s not uncommon to see Doug Struthers cruising around the village on his old bike. “I have a terriﬁc, old CCM bicycle,” Struthers chuckled. “It’s got two-and-a-half working gears. I love it. When it’s possible, I’ll pedal around town, or from my home to the municipal ofﬁce.” Last year, the recreational cyclist decided to combine his love of biking with a cause close to his heart – he registered in The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s Ride the Rideau event in support of cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. A 100 km road bike fundraiser from Ottawa to Merrickville, Ride the Rideau raised an incredible $940,000 in its inaugural year. This year, The Ottawa Hospital has set a fundraising goal of $1.8 million. “Many residents in our community have needed, and in the future, may need cancer treatment,” he said. “It’s world-class research that’s happening at The Ottawa Hospital, and it deserves world-class support. The research that’s going on can make major strides in eradicating cancer.” Although he considers himself to be active – Struthers skis and snowshoes in the winter and walks and golfs in the summer – “cycling uses different parts of the body,” he said. “It was a challenge for me, personally.” And there was still the issue of his bike.

“I’d never done anything like that before in my life,” he said. “It was an exciting experience.” The scenery didn’t hurt, either. The route will take riders from Ottawa through the heart of Merrickville and along the Rideau Canal, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Merrickville community also comes out to show their support, Struthers said. “Quite a few people come out to cheer on the day of,” he said. “People come down to the Blockhouse Park and start cheering spontaneously,” he said. “It’s a great adrenaline rush.” The 59-year-old has already signed up for the second annual ride as a member of Team Merrickville, which raised $17,000 last year. The mayor isn’t the only one in town behind this event. Other supporters include the Merrickville Lions Club, which donated $10,000 to the cause, and members of the business community, including Janet Campbell of Mrs. McGarrigle’s Fine Foods and Shelley Innes of the Downtowne Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe. Struthers, who is setting his personal fundraising goal at $3,000, is challenging others in his community to take part as well. “My name is Doug and I live here too,” he said. If a guy who is the mayor of Merrickville can do it, you can do it. It’s a challenge for people to consider.” To support Mayor Doug Struthers’ ride, participate or volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

No problem – he borrowed one for the ride and completed the 100 km in just under ﬁve and a half hours.

Dog poop epidemic in Almonte Bags left hanging on trees in park BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Some dog poopers haven’t had very good human scoopers this spring. Fern Martin, from the Mississippi Mills beautification committee, said that during a town cleanup, they found a large number of plastic bags filled with dog poop in a variety of places, including hanging in trees and hedges. “It was astonishing how many bags of poop there were,” Martin said. Martin said she has heard of the same problem in other areas, so there are likely multiple culprits. The committee did a spring cleanup and tried to get rid of as much of the litter as they could. “It’s amazing that people think to take the bag along with them, and then don’t take it back home,” Martin said. It is important for parents to make sure children walking the family pet are returning with the plastic bag they

left with, and not leaving it at the scene of the offence, or later on the walk route. The beautification committee launched a program called five-minute Fridays, where residents are encouraged to take five minutes out of their day to clean up the town. Those who are spotted picking up litter could be rewarded with a prize from Mainstreet Almonte Attraction and Promotion. “We launched this last year but we didn’t find a lot of people picking up garbage,” Martin said. “But they’ll continue to reward people this year.” To address the “epidemic of dog poop hung in bags on trees in our parks and around the community,” Fern wrote a short poem for the town’s website. She said the committee hopes the culprits will continue scooping, but embrace throwing out finished product in an appropriate garbage can.

Roaring through Almonte on the Ride for Dad Motorcycle ride in support of prostate cancer rides through town BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

ALMONTE – More than 2,000 motorcycles roared down March Road and into the Levi Home Hardware checkpoint during the Ride for Dad on Saturday. The ride is an annual fundraiser for prostate cancer that starts at Ottawa’s Aviation Museum. One of the checkpoints was at Levi Home Hardware, where bikers could grab a bite to eat and get their map stamped. The checkpoint co-ordinator, Yvonne Stewart, said last year the ride had about 1,700 bikers. This year, there were more than 2,000. “Just fantastic, I’m ecstatic about it,” Stewart said. “I think it’s amazing for the community, people are supporting this and supporting Almonte along the way.” Bikers from all across the Ottawa-Gatineau region packed the parking lot with motorcycles of all shapes and sizes.

Almonte local Neil Coulombe said it is a tradition that his daughter and he take part in the ride. This is the fourth time that they’ve done it, and raised $500 to continue their family tradition. “It just keeps getting bigger and better,” Coulombe said. Another Almonte local, Bob Graff, got his whole business involved. His bakery, Baker Bob’s, raised money to make their total donation over the years almost $4,000. He wanted to support members of his family that were cancer survivors, including prostate cancer. “It’s a really cool thing,” Graff said. “I ride for myself, I ride for my father, I ride for my son.” The final numbers were still coming in towards, but Stewart said they were hoping to beat last year’s dollar amount with the increase in riders. Nationwide, the Ride for Photo by Brier Dodge Dad raised $1.7 million last Puppets Up! mascot Nick was at Levi Home Hardware in Almonte on Saturday to wave Ride for Dad participants into year. the checkpoint. More than 2,000 riders passed through in the fundraiser for prostate cancer research.

Keep head about you, in a helmet no less

Important cottage closing tips BRIER DODGE Through Bri’s Eyes

ummer is here and it is time to enjoy being outdoors. If you are riding your bike to get to work or to simply have fun, make sure you protect your head and by wearing a helmet that fits you properly. Falls can happen even if you are a good cyclist and ride all the time. A number of things can make you crash: a car might cut you off, a dog might run out in front of you, or your tire might hit a crack in the road. Each year, about 1,500 people go to an emergency room in Ottawa because of a cycling injury. Of all sports and recreation activities, cycling is the number one reason people visit the emergency room or are admitted to the hospital. Furthermore, many of these injuries are to the head. In Ottawa, there are about 357 emergency room visits each year because of a head injury from cycling. Head injuries can result in damage to your brain and can even cause death. Brain injury continues to be one of the leading causes of death and disability in North America. It can happen to anyone, young or old, during a variety of activities. Brain injury can have life altering changes on the person injured, and is now recognized to cause significant distress and change for the family and friends of the person injured. Each year over 5000 children in Canada experience brain injury from bicycle accidents. Brain injury can happen to both genders, young or old, in a variety of settings. Brain injury in Canada is a significant issue, for people with injury, families, friends and others trying to provide their care. The good news is, you can prevent many of these injuries by wearing a helmet. Putting on a helmet and making sure it fits properly is easy to do if you follow the 2V1 rule: your helmet should fit on top of your head with two finger widths between the eyebrows and the top of edge of the helmet; your straps should form a ‘V’ shape right below the ears, which keeps the helmet from moving forward and backward or from side to side; clip the straps together tightly so only one finger fits between the chin and the strap. Everyone under the age of 18 must wear a helmet while cycling. Good examples for parents to set is to always wear one, regardless of the trek. Then your children will learn from your good example.

Reader remembers growing up in Appleton To the Editor, Re: “A walk down memory lane in Appleton,” Canadian Gazette, May 26. Thank you for publishing an article on our beautiful village of Appleton and especially highlighting the North Lanark Regional Museum. There were a few discrepancies which I would like to clarify for the readers. Firstly, the Collie bus drivers never charged the children of the village to travel on the bus. We had 25 cents to spend (saved from doing chores for others and this could take up to two or three weeks), 15 cents for the movie and the other 10 cents was for treats. Some of our treats we purchased were from Russell Lyons’ general store in Appleton. In the early 1940s the boiler exploded (not the pump house) causing the first Collie fire. The big fire in 1950 caused the mill ruins that became a his-

torical part of our village and was a photographer’s and an artist’s delight. We also hurried home from our church in Almonte to attend the church in Appleton, because the Sunday school teacher told great stories and the singing was beautiful. On Saturday evenings, the farm folk came to the general store to shop and chat. The wives were inside the store getting groceries and the men sat on the narrow bench outside rehashing what they had done all week. The Donald Caldwell mentioned in your write up was the owner of the woolen mill (before Collie). My father went to Mr. Caldwell to use his phone to call Dr. Kelly of Almonte, to tell him that he was bringing my mother to the hospital because her labour had started. Mr. Caldwell told my dad that if it

Useful for summers when we spent weeks on end at my family cottage on White Lake, we have a separate freezer on the ground level, below our main level. In all the tasks on the list you go through when closing a cottage, we apparently forgot to add empty the freezer last year. I was there on the weekend, casually cleaning the insides of the windows, when I sniffed a strange smell coming from beside me. I opened the freezer up, and what I saw in the millisecond before I slammed it down was enough for me to know. Steaks, chicken breasts, ice cream, frozen pizza and other unidentifiable objects had merged into a giant puddle of rancid goop. Yes, I am a girl, and occasionally squeamish over things that fall into my realm of “grossness.” The gross level was confirmed when all the men at the cottage blew me off, then went to check it out for themselves – with even louder reactions than myself. So we divided up the jobs, I was lucky enough to rid the freezer of all the solids. I owe something to my neighbours who were conviently doing a dump run and got rid of the bag for me. The boys got to carry the freezer out, dump it out all the liquids, then bleach out the inside. Even after the job was done, the smell carried around the cottage. The only one who didn’t seem to mind too much was the family dog. Important lesson learned – the cottage close-up checklist is not a good idea, it’s an essential. And I know what the top item on my list will be this year come October: clean out the freezer.

Five too few for council To the Editor, In response to your editorial, “The incredible shrinking council,” (Canadian Gazette, June 2), you were too quick to dismiss the relationship between a smaller Mississippi Mills council and “fresh blood.” If Mayor Levi’s 2-2-1 formula (two councillors each from Almonte and Ramsay, and one from Pakenham) had been in place at the last election, only

one (me) of the four new councillors would have made it. Would council have been better? Duncan Abbott would not be on council. His years as a real estate lawyer and teacher, and experience with union negotiations, have already proven valuable in council work. Council would miss Paul Watters’ enthusiasm and dedication to recreation and community activities. We would be without the keen perception and lateral thinking that Bernard Cameron brings to the table. The other winning councillors under the 2-2-1 proposal would have been four men in municipal politics since before amalgamation. Sure, they know “policy and procedural aspects” better, but we newcomers will catch up. Mayor Levi’s proposal does call for an elected deputy mayor who would also be our second rep on county council. I support that part. I find council’s current policy of appointing the second rep undemocratic. I welcome the discussion on council size and might support a different formula: 2-2-1 is too small. Shaun McLaughlin Councillor, Mississippi Mills

Few free ambulance rides To the Editor, In the June 2, edition of the Canadian Gazette, on page 17, Lanark County paramedic Lorraine Downey states “if you are over 65 years of age, you will not have to pay for the ambulance ride to the hospital.” This is not correct. Under the ambulance co-payment exemption, all Ontario residents who travel within Ontario by ambulance for medically necessary services and who have a valid Ontario health card are required to pay a portion (copayment) of the ambulance services rendered in the amount of $45, except under the following situations: * The person receives benefits under the Ontario Works Act, the Ontario Disability Support Program Act or the Family Benefits Act. * The person receives provincial social assistance (general welfare assistance or family benefits).

* The person is being transferred from one hospital or health care facility to another for insured, medically necessary treatment. * The person is receiving certain home care services approved for this exemption. * The person is living in one of the following facilities licensed or approved by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, such as a nursing home, home for the aged, rest home, home for special care, home or residence for psychiatric patients.

Almonte teacher is in top 25 immigrant poll DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

ALMONTE – Math teacher Mythili Kalyanasundaram would be more likely to see herself as being in the top quarter, but she’s still one of Canada’s top 25 immigrants of 2011. Kalyanasundaram, a math teacher at Almonte and District High School, won the people’s choice award last month. The contest was sponsored by Canadian Immigrant, an online resource for immigrants settling in Canada, and the Royal Bank of Canada. Out of the hundreds of nominations received each year, the selections are whittled down to 75 by an expert panel, and then the public is invited to select the top 25. She was nominated by Dr. V.S. Ramachandran, a researcher at the National Research Council of Canada. The awards were handed out on May 16 at the Westin Harbourfront Hotel in Toronto. She received a plaque, a pin and $500 towards the charity of her choice – in her case the Schizophrenia Research Foundation. “Mental illness has a taboo,” said Kalyanasundaram. “People don’t see it the same way (as other diseases). So it is high time that we support it.”

She added that many of her students and their parents were very pleased with her award. Even former students wrote to her to congratulate her. “There is no better person out there to receive such honours than you,” wrote Jesse Lowe. “You were never too busy to spend extra time with a student, or volunteer to a charitable cause, no matter how small or large it was. This I will always remember you by.” Indeed, Kalyanasundaram’s charitable deeds are extensive. Kalyanasundaram founded the Ottawa Tamil Sangam, and volunteered as a Tamil language teacher as part of the heritage language program, where she taught the language for more than 20 years until last year, every Saturday morning. Further to this, she helped organize Photo by Desmond Devoy events to raise money for the SchizophreMythili Kalyanasundaram, a math teacher at Almonte and District High School, was one nia Research Foundation and orphanages in India, and spends every second Sat- of the winners of the top 25 Canadian Immigrants 2011. urday volunteering at the Shepherds of Good Hope homeless shelter in Ottawa, as well as sitting on the executive comContact us at: 1702 9th Line Beckwith RR#2, Carleton Place, ON • K7C 3P2 mittee of the Hindu Society of OttawaGeneral Inquiries: 613-257-1539 or 1-800-535-4532 (613 area code) Carleton Inc. “If I decided I am going to retire, my Public Works: 613-257-1810 or 1-800-535-4534 (613 area code) kids will be self-sufficient and I will have cmoyle@twp.beckwith.on.ca See IMMIGRANT, page 11

Teacher is an example to her students Continued from page 10 time,” said Kalyanasundaram. “Will there be a guarantee that I will be in good health?” to enjoy her retirement, she asked. At the school level, she leads ADHS’s We Care team which fundraises for a variety of worthy causes. Not only has she donated sweat, tears and time, but blood too, literally, donating 57 times to the South Asian blood donor clinic. She came to Canada in 1984 with her husband. She began teaching at the college level in India, something she continued in Canada. “We call ourselves Indian,” she explained. “We do not call ourselves Tamil,” though they are of the same culture, tradition and language as the Tamil people of northern Sri Lanka. During her early days in Canada, she took a certified management accounting program and became an accountant, a job she worked at for five years. She later upgraded her skills at the University of Ottawa for a teaching certificate, but then she hit a wall that many immigrants run up against. “It was very difficult to get into supply teaching,” she recalled. Thankfully, her son’s principal signed the necessary paperwork for supply teaching. After supply teaching for a year, she began teaching math full time at ADHS in February 1999. “I love math and I love teaching it,” she said. “I enjoy every moment I spend with the kids here. Give me a problem and I will go step by step and solve it.” Her husband had worried when she first started teaching in a Canadian high school that she would find it difficult. “Maybe you shouldn’t even try,” her husband told her, because she looked and sounded different, but she found herself pleasantly surprised that ADHS, and the wider Almonte community was so welcoming. “I am happy here and this is where I want to be,” she said. While she is proud of her individual accomplishments, she also knows where some of the credit lies. “This is all because community support,” she said. “Everybody goes above and beyond. This is for all of them. How can you do fundraising without them?” she said of her fellow volunteers and supporters. “They are not asking anything of me but my time,” she added. “I get strength from them.”

Beckwith Heritage Days offer fun time for all DESMOND DEVOY AND BRIER DODGE BECKWITH TOWNSHIP – Beckwith is the place to be for the athlete, the chef and the whole family. “We’re trying to emphasize children this year with the magic show, petting zoo and Little Ray’s reptiles,” said Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd, in the run-up to Beckwith Heritage Days. The day starts off with a pancake breakfast hosted by Lanark County 4H Club, which is raising funds for their exchange program to Alberta. The Ashton United Church will also host a fundraising barbecue later in the day, and the parishioners will also be selling homebaked pies, on Saturday, June 11, at Beckwith Park 1319 Ninth Line Rd. “It takes all of the different groups and our very dedicated staff,” said Kidd, to make for a successful festival atmosphere. Kidd also added that, with 30 hectares of space to play in, there is ample parking for attendees. Even if the forecast does call for rain this Saturday, Kidd reminds everyone that the cover-all building will still keep many events going, and with a turf field,

things won’t get muddy for any Ray’s Reptiles from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. of the sporting events. “There still will be things goSee VALLEY, page 13 ing on,” said Kidd. The day will also boast plenty of sports for athletes and spectators alike. All four of Beckwith’s football teams, from grades 3 to 10, will be on the field at different times from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as Established Family Business Since 1989 they take on teams from Smiths Falls and Brockville.

You can also lace up your skates in the middle of June, for a free skate from 2 to 3 p.m. “We’ve got ice in Beckwith,” Kidd joked. “On a hot day, it’s the place to be.” The physical activity doesn’t end there though. Throughout the day, you can catch soccer, baseball and beach volleyball action. “We’re trying to promote that we are a happy, active community,” said Kidd. After cheering on the home team, there are equally entertaining shows for the kids, with a horse demonstration by Brittany Buchanan at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., magic show by Michael Bourada from 11 a.m. to noon, and Little

CP Cinemas ends scheduled flicks BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

CARLETON PLACE – When the new Twilight and Harry Potter films didn’t sell out, Carleton Place Cinemas owner Ernie Rowe knew he had a problem. “High definition and 3-D changed everything,” Rowe said, who admitted even he went to go see new release Thor in IMAX. “I can’t even compete with myself.” With the cost of changing his current two theatres into 3-D at $240,000 each, Rowe needed to change something at the theatre. “We held out as long as we could,” he said. “It still costs me the same amount to run the movie if there are five people or 100 people here.” The Carleton Place Cinemas will no longer show movies, but it is now licensed and showing sports events. Currently, the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Finals are airing. Rowe isn’t charging an admission fee for the games, and won’t for the UFC fights he plans to show. He said he hopes to make his profits in alcohol sales, as the events are now for ages 19 and up.

The theatre and bar is now named Oscar’s, and has a bar area at the Beckwith Street entrance. The other area with the original concession stand will still be used for rentals and birthday parties, where movies can still be shown. Upstairs has been converted into On Stage at Ernie’s, a small hall rental with a stage, located in the same area as the hair salon and wedding dress store also housed inside the former church. Rowe plans to have live music and bring Yuk Yuk’s in to perform comedy shows. This weekend, Gerry Madden and Andy Simpson will be playing in the upstairs portion, while the Canucks game is aired downstairs. He said that not everybody was happy with his decision to stop showing movies and take the theatre in the new direction. “Someone said they were going to start a petition,” he said. “But that won’t work, unless that petition came with $60,000 to keep it open.” Vancouver will take on Boston in game five of the Stanley Cup finals tomorrow, and Oscar’s will air the game live at 8 p.m.

Wedding dresses old and new on parade in Pakenham, June 18 DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

PAKENHAM – Did your invitation to the royal wedding back in April get lost in the mail? If so, then you still have a chance to see some of the best in bridal fashions next weekend, without having to travel to London, England. St. Andrew’s United Church will fill in for Westminister Abbey during the fundraising fashion show Here Comes the Bride: More Than a Century of Bridal Fashions, on Saturday, June 18, at the church, 2585 County Road 29, in Pakenham. The fashion show begins at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available for purchase in advance at either the 1:30 or 3:30 p.m. tea sittings by visiting the Pakenham General Store, 2524 County Road 29, or by calling 613-624-5540. The event is a fundraiser for the church. “We’ve done vintage fashion shows in the past and there seems to be quite an interest in the old styles,” said Margie Argue, the event’s organizer. “Once we spread the word, we got more than 50 dresses. We might have a problem deciding what goes in,” she added with a laugh. The most recent dress in the collection is from the spring of 2010, but the oldest wedding dress on display predates Canada by two years, and was donated by the church’s former pastor, Rev. Heather Kincaid, when one of her neighbours in Finch, Ont., passed it on to her. It was worn by a Jessie Cameron back in 1865. Another ancient dress dates from 1895, when Jennie Toshack married Alec Sneddon. “It’s interesting to see the dif-

ferent styles,” said Argue, who noted that some of the early ones were not white but brown, blue and even off-white. Some of the wedding dresses were not even dresses. “At wartime, some of them wore smart suits,” said Argue. “They were more practical and they had to be multipurpose. They weren’t extravagant times.” About 10 models have volunteered to strut their matrimonial stuff down the runway. One of the models will be wearing her great-grandmother’s wedding dress. Another model will wear her own wedding dress from 1947. Some models will also be wearing their grandmother’s or mother’s dresses. While Argue knows that the older dresses will be a big draw, she is making sure that they are well protected. “They are under lock and key,” she said, half-jokingly. “There will be a few dresses that can’t be worn so they will be laid on mannequins.” There is a family connection to the collection for Argue, with a dress from 1912 coming from her husband’s family to the show. “There are gorgeous ones from the 1940s and it is pale blue and it’s nicely draped and (it has a) nice flow and it had nice bead work on it,” said Argue of one of her favourite dresses in the show. She was also quite taken by a “flapper” style wedding dress from the 1920s, though she hastens to add that, “I don’t think I should pick a favourite.” Argue is pleased with the models who have volunteered, but she could not help noticing the difference in size and struc-

ture of today’s women compared to the ladies of yesteryear. “They girls now, they’re not larger, but they’ve got bigger shoulders,” said Argue. “They (the women of old) all seem to be very small,” judging by the standard dress sizes of the day. “The dresses just seemed thinner.” Bridesmaids dresses will also

be featured in the collection. “There are some that are, very colourful, may I say?” she said. The show will also have appropriate music to accompany the ladies from the different eras, and local designer and

fashionista Paddye Mann will provide a running commentary of the styles and their histories. “She’s very knowledgeable about fashion trends over the years,” said Argue of Mann.

Out with the cold – In with the hue

(NC)—With the warm days of summer upon us, it is the perfect time to inject vibrant colours into our homes to lift our spirits and make them as warm and inviting as the weather. And luckily, with just a few minor updates you can create a major impact on the décor (and enjoyment) of your home.

has your patio furniture seen better days? If the sun and snow have taken a toll on your outdoor seating, look no further than a can of spray paint to update the look. No matter if you’ve got rusty metal, weathered wood or dingy plastic, you can turn trash into treasure in no time.

NEW HUE IN THE LOO

Krylon’s Fusion for Plastic paint is available in dozens of colours to bring everything from seating to decorative accents back to life. For wood materials, try Krylon’s outdoor spray stain, and to cover rust on metal – or to prevent it in the future – Krylon’s Outdoor Spaces has the colour and ﬁnish to suit any décor needs.

The powder room is a space you use every day – and that guests also view. For this small space, test out a new bold colour that you may not be as daring to use in other larger areas. According to industry experts, green is one of the most popular hues in the bathroom this year. Splash the walls with a coat of paint in a vibrant shade. Or simply update your decorative accents throughout the room with contrasting colours to make a beautiful design statement. FRESHEN UP FURNITURE

“Spray painting is a simple project that even a novice DIYer can feel comfortable doing,” said Katherine Merkle, Krylon brand manager. “With just a bit of prep work and a quality product, your project will be the envy of your neighbours in no time.”

AMAZING ACCENTS If you’ve grown tired of the colour scheme in your living areas or bedroom, updating fabric accents can make a dramatic change to your rooms for years to come… or simply for the season. To brighten chairs, loveseats and couches add new decorative throw pillows or drape a new blanket over the back. In the bedroom, a new comforter can add new style (and comfort) to the room. Plus, these accents can be quite affordable and are easily changeable when you’re ready for a new hue. With a few simple updates, your home’s style (and your mood) can be elevated with new bright colours. More information can be found online at www.projectsinacan.com. www.newscanada.com

Most of the golf courses this year are in real good shape and are ready for the onslaught of golfers. In the previous article we looked at many of the benefits of playing golf. This time we’ll discuss a couple of specifics: “The flexibility you gain from swinging a golf club is unlike any other exercise” Many people have the misconception that you have to be very coordinated or strong or athletic to play golf. In fact, anyone can play golf. One of the strongest assets a golfer can have is flexibility. By the same right one of the best outcomes of playing golf is that you improve your flexibility. All of us as we age tend to “tighten up”

physically. This is often from lack of exercise or exercising only certain muscle groups. In golf you work your legs, arms, shoulders, neck, inner core and your back. Between the walking, practice swinging, bending and ball striking, your whole body gets an even work out. Not to discourage potential golfers, if you have certain ailments like back or shoulder troubles we can teach you to swing without injuring yourself.

exercise. We can even finish off the golf day with a nice dinner at the club or a cold beverage of choice while sitting on the club’s back patio overlooking the river (that’s the case at Mississippi). Once we start to golf, it often becomes a way of life. Our weekends are spent playing golf, our holidays become golf holidays and our friends are our golf buddies. What better way to spend a couple of hours or a whole afternoon.

“The golf course is a great place to make new friends and spend time with existing friends”

Thinking of trying something new? PLAY GOLF!

Though some golfers are here for the competitive nature of the sport, most are here for the fun and friendship. We have a great opportunity to spend hours with our old or new friends while at the same time getting some great

1911 time capsule from CP church now part of display DESMOND DEVOY

thy since Macdonald was usually painted only in side profile, and this painting is one of the few to show as much of a fullfaced figure as possible. “This is as much as you’ll see of his face,” said McGee. McGee was born and reared in Carleton Place, and can trace a long line of family in the area to her great-grandparents. For her, local history is very personal. “I’ll go through the stuff here and find pictures of my grandparents,” she said. In fact, one of the first school photo-

she and some volunteers came across the Union Jack flag that used to fly above Carleton Place Town Hall. “They came across this bag squished up in the attic,” she said. When they unfurled it, lo and behold was the British flag. It was in fairly rough shape however and had to be sent to Montreal for refurbishing. “I love this flag,” said McGee. “It’s so cool.” A lot has changed over the years, especially in domestic life, and here McGee made another unusual discovery. “How they did their laundry was so different,” said McGee of the hand-washing of laundry that used to consume a lot of time in a woman’s day. “I found out that there was such a thing as a sock stretcher,” to stretch out wool socks so that they did not shrink. This year, the school of focus will be Carleton Place High School, and while the museum cannot display all of its 1,700 photographs, all of the museum’s high school-related pictures are on display. McGee is, herself, a long way from high school now, having just completed her second year of studies at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. “I’m a history major and I love working here,” McGee said. “It’s good to know where you are from. I’m really keen about this museum. I love coming to work.” Another highlight of the exhibit are the contents of a time capsule from 1911, which include a newspaper from that year, announcing the opening of the new parliament under the new prime minister, Robert Borden, and a conservative majority government. But news of Borden beginning his reign is upstaged by Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, whose portrait hangs in the museum. While McGee and her volunteers are still trying to decipher the name of the artist, volunteer Donovan Adolph told McGee that the painting must certainly be notewor-

CARLETON PLACE – Why step back in time when you can take a step-dance back in time? From a special display on Graham’s Shoes store and its predecessors, to the first shoes worn by Ottawa Valley step-dancing champion Gilles Roy, to the top hat and tails people wore when they were steppin’ out on the town, Carleton Place’s newest exhibit is putting its best foot forward. “It’s very musical,” said Alexandra McGee, operations director at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum. “Stepping out, step-dancing, it all ties together. We try to change it up, keep it interesting.” A Step Back in Time exhibit opened on Friday, May 27, and continues until Labour Day. The museum is open from Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. at 267 Edmund St. There are a number of new additions to the museum’s collection, thanks to donations from local businesses and citizens. “We went in to Graham’s Shoes and we got to go spelunking in his old basement,” said McGee, who found numerous shoe artifacts, including dandy men’s spats from the 1920s and a foot warmer for those chilly rides in a one-horse open sleigh. Another high-steppin’ addition to the collection came from Debbie and Gilles Roy of Carelton Place, who donated several photographs to the collection, as well as Gilles’ first-ever pair of dance shoes from 1958, when he was only eight years old. “They became internationally known dancers,” said McGee. The duo, along with Debbie’s sister Donna, travelled the world, and even appeared on TV shows like Don Messer’s Jubilee. For McGee though, the biggest and best surprise find of the season came when

Reconciling the youthful zest for live with the grim spectre of an all-toosoon death proved to be the making of a touching performance looking at young people with cystic fibrosis on the stage of Notre Dame Catholic High School last week. “If you take a straw and just put it in your mouth, and plug your nose, and try to breathe, that’s what it’s like to breathe with cystic

INSPECTING THE TROOPS Rear Admiral Ron Lloyd addresses chief petty officer first class Katherine Villeneuve on June 5, as the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps 211 Lanark celebrate their annual inspection. The sea cadets put on a parade for family and friends, displaying some of the skills, drill and band that they learned throughout the training year. Lloyd congratulated the corps for a very successful year and commended the cadets for their hard work.

As of Sunday night, Montreal’s postal workers joined the rotating strike that is moving across the country. Montreal’s postal workers will be on strike for 24 hours, while trying to form a collective agreement with Canada Post. In the Ottawa Valley, it is business as usual for Canada Post offices, a message that Iris Doran, president of Tri Town Local Union 627 had for the public. “People can still mail things and do business with Canada Post,” he said. Doran said the reason the rotating strike was chosen was to make the negotiating process as painless as possible for the public. “We didn’t want to go out on strike in the first place,” he said. “This is less hurtful to the public.” He said he has not been informed of any potential strike date for Tri Town Local Union 627, which services Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place. Doran said the union has made another proposal to Canada Post’s management and is awaiting their response.

BUSINESS LOAN FUNDING In 2010, the VHCFDC received 24 loan applications for more than $2.1 million. It approved 13 of the 14 loans, for a total of $756,817. Doherty told the crowd the loans maintained and created a total of 123 jobs, and helped people and businesses obtain $4.3 million in leveraged funds. Since the organization’s inception in 1988, Doherty said the VHCFDC has helped 519 local businesses, created and maintain 2,042 jobs, and helped people and organizations obtain $38.7 million in leveraged funds. One of those business owners is Craig Hall, owner/operator of Equator Coffee Roasters Inc. in Almonte.

Hall was able to buy a bigger coffee roaster for his business and received assistance with managing his finances. “That loan consolidated some of the loans I had and lowered my interest payments, so I slept better at night,” Hall said. “Valley Heartland has been very helpful and I’ve learned a lot about business and planning. I really appreciate the role that Valley Heartland has played.” Hall’s company employs about 15 people. SKILLS TRAINING FUND The VHCFDC also helped create a skills training fund in 2010, which allowed local businesses to train employees while minimizing costs. Casey McIlvenna, manager of McAdoo Construction Ltd., said she the funding assistance the organization provides has allowed her company to hire four apprentices over the last five years. “Apprentices are affordable through help from Valley Heartland,” she said. “Three of the four are licensed. All have been kept on by the company. You can see that

this program does work.” Young people also reaped the benefits of the VHCFDC last year. The organization created 10 youth internships with a variety of organizations. Seven of the 10 youth found secure employment. Ashley Wheeler, executive director for Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, said her organization was very satisfied with the program. “We were really, really, happy with having these youth interns,” Wheeler said. “They were really eager to get on the job. We owe a lot to Valley

Heartland to keep those young graduates in our community. As a non–profit, it’s hard to keep staffing that can stay on.” NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS The following individuals comprise the new VHCFDC board of directors: June Timmons, Robert Dyke, Don Dutton, Glenn Allen, Dianne Adshead, Ron Canie, Ian Johnston, Bill Dobson, Colin Hurman, Tracy Lamb, Robert Moore and Allan Thom.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

An organization in the valley that put more than $750,000 into the hands of local businesses was centre stage at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre last week. The Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation held its annual general meeting on June 2. The organization is comprised of 13 municipalities in Lanark County and the United Counties of Leeds Grenville. It helps a variety of projects created by individuals, community groups and businesses throughout the Ottawa Valley. In Smiths Falls, the VHCFDC helped fund the incorporation of the non-for-profit Arts and Culture Council and Centre for Photographic Excellence in the Town of Smiths Falls. Smiths Falls Bookbinding also received a helping hand, receiving assistance to help purchase and integrate cutting-edge binding equipment. Coun. Lorraine Allen made the opening remarks to the crowd of approximately 50 people. She began by discussing the

Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre’s features and the community’s fundraising initiatives for the arena. Allen was happy to announce the arena’s fundraising committee has raised $327,623 to date. John Doherty, the executive director for VHCFDC, described the various ways the corporation was helping local businesses grow over 2010.

Ruby Walters (Died June 2, 2011)

Walters, Ruby

(nee Lunn) February 7, 1925-June 2, 2011 English War Bride At Granite Ridge, Stittsville, Ontario on Thursday, June 2, 2011 at the age of 86 years. Beloved wife of the late Stephen Edward Walters. Dear mother of Brenda Rose Delahunt (Bruce) and Bill (Samantha) all of Richmond and special family friend Doug Irvine (Mandy) of Ottawa. Loving grandmother of Amanda Roque (Jason), Sarah Delahunt (Thom Brooks), Angela Delahunt (Dan Wallace), Stuart, Kyle, Matthew and Michael Walters. Proud greatgrandmother of Grace and Noah Roque, Hannah and Wyatt Brooks and Landon and Ivy Wallace. Survived by her sister-in-law Lillian Stevens (Dick) and several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents and her brother and sister and by her granddaughter Rhonda Lynn Delahunt.

The Funeral

Cancer will attack over 173,000 of us this year. It does not discriminate. It has taken our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers, our children and our friends. Cancer is relentless. But so are we. We are the Canadian Cancer Society and we are fighting back. We have more impact against more cancers in more communities than any other cancer charity in Canada, yet there is still so much more we need to do. Cancer threatens us all. But we reject cancer’s attempts to strike the lives of so many Canadians. That’s why we promise to do everything we can to prevent cancer. We promise to save lives. And we promise to empower, inform and support those living with this disease. We fight back by funding clinical trials and research into better treatments and cures. We educate and advocate. And we encourage Canadians to volunteer and donate. To some, the daffodil is just a flower. To us, it is a symbol of strength and courage, a symbol of life. It says we will not give up. It says we will fight back. It says we will beat cancer.

Are you ready to join the fight?

Friends called at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Avenue, Carleton Place on Saturday, June 4, 2011 from 10 a.m. until funeral service in the chapel at 12 noon. Interment Stittsville United Cemetery. Donations to the Munster United Church Building Fund or CHEO would be appreciated.

Sprinkler a treat for hummingbird LYNDA C. BENNETT Strictly for the Birds

With the rains of April and May hopefully behind us, my first report comes about a bird that likes lawn sprinklers. The ruby-throated hummingbird in Beckwith Township, at Dorothy O’Brien’s home,did a fly-thru, in and out of her sprinkler. It would then fly up into a nearby tree, preen, then return for the dash through the sprinkler. The action continued for about 10 minutes, May 31. Fun to watch. A report last month about baby Ameri-

can robins at Neil Dennis’ home, in Pakenham, was happy. One had flown from the nest, while the other two called and called for the parents. Dennis waited to see what would happen. Later that same day, the youngsters did fledge, and parents and young are doing well. WOODPECKER HUNGRY May 27, Tim and Donalee Pullen have had a pileated woodpecker coming to their suet. They live on Old Perth Road. On May 31, Marj Campbell, Beckwith Township, had a red-bellied woodpecker coming to

her feeder. Last fall, she had a cattle egret visit her property. In the Clayton area, Bev Relfe had a flock of Canada geese fly overhead, with a single snow goose within this flock. The same day, May 31, Sandy Irvin and her daughter Isla heard an American bittern making its booming call across fields that evening. Along Drummond Road, between the 8th and 7th Concessions, Joyce Clinton saw another bittern. Despite the chance of inclement weather, Cliff and I completed our Baillie Birdathon May 26-27 last month.

Community CATHY JAMES The following stories cover the Lanark County Council meetings which took place on May 25 and June 1. Lanark County Council will ensure the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) knows the county’s position when it comes to eliminating surgical services at the Perth and Smiths Falls Hospital sites. The Network is currently reviewing how the region’s hospitals could run more efficiently.

Though the Network has since publicly stated it won’t go this route, Lanark County councillors agreed to officially state their opposition in writing. “We need to send a letter to the LHIN to ensure they know our message,” said Coun. Ed Sonnenburg. Though council applauds the LHIN for nixing the idea, Warden Sharon Mousseau said councillors remain wary about the program-specific surgical services concept. See COUNTY Page 40

One of the team’s external advisory groups, the Sullivan Group, created a presentation which contained four potential scenarios for the region’s surgical services. Those four scenarios include: maintaining the status quo, moving surgical cases from larger to smaller centres, moving to a centralized redistribution (moving or combining surgery to create sustainable larger sites), and finally, moving all surgical cases to the two largest sites, Belleville and Kingston. This would mean the surgeries offered in Perth and Smiths Falls would no lon-

ger exist. The LHIN has since notified the public this option is off the table. The LHIN does, however, remain open to developing surgical program-specific options for the hospitals. Council initially planned to send the LHIN a letter outlining their opposition to closing down the rural hospitals’ surgical services. Since the LHIN has turned this concept down, Lanark County clerk Cathie Ritchie asked councillors for guidance on their next steps at its May 25 corporate services meeting.

County hospitals seek to specialize Continued from Page 39

letter to the South East LHIN.

“We recognize there is an option out there to have certain hospitals specialize in one kind of surgery, and we have some concerns about that because it’s opening the same door in a different direction,” she says. “It’s really critical to our rural hospitals that they maintain a range of surgical services…and we want to keep on top of it.” Mousseau added how removing surgical services from the rural hospitals not only has an impact on residents, but also on attracting and retaining physicians. Council unanimously passed the motion to send a

CYCLING MONTH BRINGS ATTENTION TO TOURISM MARKET Mississippi Mills cyclist Jeff Mills says cycling infrastructure will bring tourism dollars to Lanark County. The Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month officially launched June 1, and Mills outlined the month’s upcoming activities to councillors at its June 1community development meeting. He identified cycling infrastructure as a marketing tool for the county, which could lure cyclists to the area from the surrounding cities. “You could attract a lot of

people to this area if you promote what this county has to offer for cyclists,” he said. As political leaders, councillors were also asked to return to their communities to endorse cycling to residents. Coun. Richard Kidd applauded the cycling group’s efforts to organize a month-long celebration. “We can jump on board as political leaders, but it’s people like you who make these things happen from the grassroots level,” said Kidd. At the county council meeting a week prior, Kidd also suggested council should consider how to promote healthy lifestyles when working on its strategic plan this September.

GRAB YOUR MITTS

BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Ontario government has announced more schools will offer full-day kindergarten in the next few years. Area schools who offered full day kindergarten in 2010 were Maple Grove Public School, Naismith Memorial Public School and Holy Name of Mary Separate School. Starting in 2012, Arklan Community Public School will join them.

Carleton Place in Bloom, Arts Carleton Place and the BIA will launch the Mitten Project, Feel the Warmth, at Brushstrokes on Friday, June 10, at 7 p.m. The goal is to have over 80 pairs of oversized wooden ‘mittens’ to decorate lamp posts throughout downtown Carleton Place, similar to this prototype created by local artist Strachan Johnston. Community members can register for $10 to paint their own mitten as a part of the Mitten Project.

Two more schools, St. Gregory Catholic School and Pakenham Public School, will start to run the program in 2013. Concluding the next wave of publically-funded schools will be Beckwith Public School, Caldwell Street Elementary School and R Tait McKenzie Public School, which will all start their full-day programs in 2014. Registration for all upcoming kindergarten programs usually begins in January prior to the September start of each school year.
