Tow truck contract proposal leads to frustration BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – There is a request for proposals (RFP) from the Ontario Provincial Police that calls for tow truck operators to take over entire regions in the province. Under the proposal, one company would run all OPP-related towing operations for a large geographic area. This means that a tow truck company in Ot-

SECOND CAREER
CARLETON PLACE – A contingent of 46 young people from the Deep South were in Carleton Place to plant the seeds for a new church in town, as part of an ongoing charm offensive, heavy on southern hospitality. “God called us up here to Canada, to start this church,” said Pastor Scott Ridenour, before the start of a concert by the youth choir from the West Acres Baptist Church of Augusta, Georgia, on June 15 at the Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place. Ridenour and his family of three children, moved from Georgia to Carleton Place this past April, but the lead-up to their new life in Canada came because of a sidetrip to Barrhaven. Last year, Ridenour and his wife were taking another team of youngsters from their home church on a mission trip to Watertown, N.Y., as part of his duties as the then-youth minister at West Acres church. His minister asked him to make contacts with fellow Canadian evangelicals, and put him in touch with Rick Lamothe.

Town of Carleton Place considering hiring economic development officer DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Jack Taylor didn’t mince words last week when he revealed how dire the situation is for Carleton Place’s downtown business district. “We are experiencing severe problems in the downtown core,” said Taylor, who owns the apartments at 157 Bridge St. and who sits on the Carleton Place Business Improvement Area (BIA)’s board of directors. “We have 21 or 22…businesses or retail spaces unused or empty.” Further to this, between 40 and 50 residential apartment units are also vacant in the downtown area. Taylor was speaking before the Carleton Place town council meeting on June 14. “We really need to address that issue,” Taylor said. “(We need) to restore our downtown core to its once vibrant condition.” The BIA’s coordinator, Cathie McOrmond, attended a municipal conference recently in which declining downtown sectors were a high priority subject. “It is common throughout the province,” said Taylor. “London, Ont., has the same problem we do.” The Town of Carleton Place is considering hiring an economic development officer (EDO) to bring business to the area, as well as attracting businesses downtown, and retaining current tenants.
“We are very supportive of that,” said Taylor of the town’s plans for an EDO. The BIA pointed to Highway 7, and its recent upgrading to four lanes from Highway 417 to the town, as one of the reasons for out-migration from downtown. “We have a blessing and a cure in the Highway 7 and McNeely Avenue development,” said Taylor. “This has been part of the cause of the bleeding of the downtown core.” Taylor also pointed out that many town residents work in Ottawa, making it difficult to get them downtown to shop. The BIA is planning new, high-quality signage to attract customers, as well as looking in to a retrofit program like the façade improvement program used in places like Ottawa’s ByWard Market. Taylor added that he wanted to have a close working relationship between the town and the BIA to address the matter, and that the BIA wanted to fill onethird of the empty spaces each year for the next three years in the hopes of filling all of the vacancies. “We’re prepared to do some of this (work) ourselves,” said Taylor. Mayor Wendy LeBlanc was supportive of the plan, and asked that if the BIA had any plans requiring the town’s financial participation, that the BIA should get its requests in by September for budget time. “They’re not just coming with their hand out to solve the problem,” noted Coun. Gary Strike,

Listening to her is realtor Ralph Shaw, centre, and at right, singer/entertainer Lyle Dillabough. who also sits on the BIA board. “The main street is in crisis mode, the worst shape it has been in my career,” said Coun. Doug Black, who noted that it was a big issue during last year’s municipal election campaign. “It will be good to see you back in the fall when we can look at
the full package,” said Deputy Mayor Ed Sonnenburg. Coun. Louis Antonakos applauded the preliminary work done by the BIA, but added that he hoped to also see other stakeholders at the table. “I hope that we have realtors (involved),” said Antonakos.
“They are an integral part of the process…They get inquiries every day, not just about where to move, but where to invest.” McOrmond also told council that her group is working on a new web page, and that a new button, entitled Retail Recruitment, is under construction.

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

Local postal workers may soon be back on the job CANADIAN GAZETTE STAFF CARLETON PLACE – Canada Post workers at the Bridge Street post office may soon be back to work. “If we’re legislated back, we will be back,” said Diana Lamb, secretary-treasurer of the tritown Local 627 of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), as she walked the picket line last week. “We didn’t want to be locked out in the first place.” About 17 local letter carriers and clerks were affected by Canada Post’s decision to lock out its workers. Following rotating strikes, unionized postal workers were locked out by Canada Post on June 16. Canada Post stated it had no other choice but to suspend operations because of the damaging costs of the rotating strikes. In a statement released the same day, officials at Canada Post said they could no longer take on the risk posed by the strike. “If we allow the uncertainty created by the rotating strikes to continue, our ability to remain financially self-sufficient and not become a burden on Canadian taxpayers will be in jeopardy,” the statement read. The crown corporation added

They may soon be back to work. that it believed the lockout was the best way to get bargaining teams to come to a timely resolution. “We would be happy to get back to business as quickly as possible,” Anick Losier, spokesperson for Canada Post said. Postal workers could be ordered back to work by the federal government as early as next week. On June 15, Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt indicated during question period in the House of Commons that the
Conservative government would be introducing back-to-work legislation. The government has currently tabled a back-to-work bill that will be debated in Parliament this week. “Canada Post and the union have been unable to reach a negotiated settlement, which is a great disappointment for us because of the effect it has on Canadians and on the Canadian economy,” Raitt said. “As a result, tonight we will be putting on notice legislation to restore mail delivery
service for Canadians.” In a release issued Thursday, June 16, the union called the back-to-work bill unnecessary, unjust, and counterproductive. “If this bill passed, we would have the very outcome that nobody wants,” CUPW national president Denis Lemelin said in a statement. “An imposed settlement brings down terms that neither party has agreed to.” Shortly after operations were suspended on June 15, Lemelin held a press conference to indicate he has concerns about the route the federal government was going to take, but said the most important thing is that negotiations remain fair. “For us, the most important thing for us is free bargaining.” Canada Post delivered Canada Pension Plan, old age security, Veterans’ Affairs pension plan and Canada child tax benefit cheques on Monday, June 20 through regular delivery, in keeping with a pledge made by the union prior to the strike deadline. Lamb estimates that there is a full day’s worth of mail to be sorted at the Carleton Place facility. Five volunteers from among the picketers returned to the post office on Monday, June
20, to sort and deliver child tax credit cheques. “There will be a backlog,” Lamb predicted, when postal workers return to work. “There is mail in the plants. As it comes in, we will deliver it.” SOME OFFICES STILL OPEN The Almonte Canada Post outlet remained open despite the lockout, but it was not accepting any letters or parcels for delivery. The outlet is open with regular hours because its employees are not members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), but are members of a brother union, the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association Union. Post offices in Pakenham and Clayton remain open too, while post offices run by CUPW members in Smiths Falls and Perth are closed because of the lockout. The Almonte, Pakenham and Clayton offices were unable to accept any letters or parcels during the lock-out, but were able to provide other services such as selling stamps, pre-paid Visa and phone cards, as well as processing money orders and change of address services.

All Carleton Place and Almonte secondary schools will offer Grade 7 and 8 classes in 2012 BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
Grade 7 and 8 students will soon fall under the secondary school bracket in all Carleton Place and Almonte area high schools. Carleton Place High School and Almonte District High School will both offer Grade 7 and 8 starting in the 2012-13 school year. Notre Dame Catholic High School already offers the intermediate Grade seven and eight program. School visits by Upper Canada District School Board officials determined that there was sufficient space for the students to transfer over at both schools. The schools were part of the “Building 2020” plan, and just had to be approved for space before finalizing the decision. “The switch isn’t about space availability,” UCDSB planning and research officer Phil Dawes said. “It’s about creating good programming opportunities for our Grade 7 and 8 students.” Included in the plan was the decision to close Carambeck Public School in September 2012, and change all feeder schools, with the exception of Beckwith Public School, to kindergarten to Grade 6. The trustees plan to implement a system similar to the one established in the board’s other 7-12 schools for the Grade
7 and 8 students. The system includes separate bell times, gym and lunch times and assigned wings and areas for the two younger grades. ADHS principal Laurie McCabe said that it will be a positive move for the younger students because they will have access to resources such as athletics facilities and shop classes that they do not currently have. She said it will also allocate funds to renovations that will benefit all the students at the school. McCabe started her career in elementary education before coming to ADHS, so she is well prepared for the transition. While not all schools will have a separate wing, she said the younger students will be isolated into their own area at ADHS. High school enrolment has been declining, with the largest grade in the school the current Grade 12 class, McCabe said, so there is sufficient space. “They’ll be growing pains with anything,” McCabe said. “But growing pains aren’t bad.” McCabe was able to visit with several R. Tait McKenzie students on Tuesday as they visited the school for a barbeque. With the Grade 6-8 students all graduating next year to move to ADHS for Grades 7-9, R. Tait McKenzie teacher Kalee Rice said students were anxious
about the move, but many would be following older siblings to the school. The students were more concerned the chance to be the oldest at their elementary school and still being able to attend the annual Grade 8 trip to La Ronde amusement park in Montreal. “The priority is their graduation ceremony for most of them right now,” Rice said. The board plans to run public meetings for both CPHS and ADHS’s incoming students this fall to prepare for September 2012, when the first classes will switch over. The meetings will also help develop a vision for each of the schools, Dawes said. “Where we’ve made the move it’s been very well received,” said Dawes. “We expect it to be just as well received in Carleton Place and Almonte.”
R. Tait McKenzie students such as Danice Best, 12, left, won’t just be visiting Almonte District High School in September 2012. Three grades worth of students will transfer over when ADHS begins to offer Grade 7 and 8. Danice visited ADHS during the re: Action4Inclusion barbecue on Tuesday. Photo by Desmond Devoy

Second career options in CP, Almonte Canadian Career Academy runs career open house BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – When a career path has pending layoffs and no job openings in the area, starting a second career can require some help. “It’s a good time to look at training options with September coming,” said Lisa Hanson, an employment counsellor at the Canadian Career Academy in Carleton Place. It is a provincially funded centre that serves the Beckwith, Carleton Place and Almonte communities, where staff lead free workshops and offer career counselling and job search and resume help.
“You have to be actively showing that you’ve been searching (for a job) with the skills you have.” LIsa Hanson
476189
On June 15, there was an open house on second career options and funding. The program provides second career training for adults who have been laid off and have proven their efforts in finding a new job in the same field have failed to provide employment. There is a scoring process that identifies eligible participants, who are also eligible for varying levels of financial assistance, said Hanson. The financial assistance has a cap of $28,000 per person and is awarded on a case-by-case basis. “You have to be actively showing that you’ve been searching (for a job) with the skills you have,” she said. Popular fields of study for clients include health care, office administration, trades and carpentry, gas technician and truck driving. They study at registered programs at schools such as Algonquin College, depending on their program availability and home base. Nine people attended the open house for the free second career program on June 15, and will meet with counsellors to determine eligibility and receive career counselling. The academy also offers workshops outside of the second career program related topics such as cover letter writing, networking or career decision making. There are different workshops held each month. For more information on the workshops, second career program, or to schedule an appointment with a career counsellor, the Canadian Career Academy can be reached at 613-257-3237 or at www.canadacareer.ca.

Health Unit warns of phony food inspectors GEOFF DAVIES geoff.davies@metroland.com
Local residents should be on the look out for a phony “health inspector” contacting local restaurants and asking for sensitive information, says the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. Around the province, someone posing as an inspector has been contacting establishments to schedule an inspection, requesting detailed business and personal information, and asking for “a call back to confirm the personal information through the use of
a unique code number,” according to a release from the health unit. “We do not conduct business in this way,” Jane Lyster, the health unit’s director of health protection, said in the release. “Do not give out any personal or business information and report the incident to Fraud Busters (the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre),” she said. Residents should be advised that real health unit inspectors: • Will not call a business to book and appointment, nor will they issue an inspection number or require businesses to call back to confirm appointments.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
• Will not ask for personal or financial information about the business or the owner. • Will carry photo identification. The impersonation of a public officer is a criminal offence, the release notes. The release advises business owners who encounter suspicious inspectors to ask for proper identification, signed by a Medical Officer of Health. Owners also have the option of reporting incidents to Fraud Busters, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, at 1-888-495-8501 or by email at info@antifraudcentre.ca.

Michaela’s online battle of Water-loo
Give the gift of life with organ donation
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says
I
magine having the potential to save eight lives and enhance 75 more. It’s all possible by registering online as an organ and tissue donor. More than 1,500 Ontarians are on the list waiting for an organ transplant. Every three days, someone in this province dies while waiting for a life-saving transplant. Thousands more are waiting for a tissue transplant that could help enhance their lives. You can change that. All you have to do is take a few minutes out of your day to register as an organ and tissue donor online. Signed donor cards are no longer an acceptable option; the card may not be available when the information is needed and your wishes will go unknown. The online registry stores your information in a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care database and shares your decision to donate with the Trillium Gift of Life Network, Ontario’s organ and tissue donation agency. When you register, you ensure your decision to donate will be carried out in the event of your death – donation is only an option after all life-saving efforts have failed. Granted, death is a morbid subject – especially when it comes unexpectedly. But your organs and tissue won’t do any good for anyone when they’re six feet under. Corneas could help a woman see the world. A skin graft could help a burn victim heal. A new pair of lungs could give a child with cystic fibrosis the breath to carry on. Anyone can donate regardless of pre-existing medical conditions and lifestyle. You can also choose what to give. The doctors assess the organs and tissue and make the decision from there as to what’s viable. The only requirement is that you are 16 years of age or older. Don’t leave the burden of choice to your loved ones. Register online at www.beadonor.ca, visit a ServiceOntario centre or download and mail in the Gift of Life consent form to become an organ and tissue donor. Save a life. Save eight lives.

Clean-up team makes things worse in CP, Mississippi Mills
To the Editor, On June 11 the Lanark County OPP in partnership with the municipalities made the graffiti problem worse, at least on Bell St. in Carleton Place. There were two places that were ‘tagged’. One was beside the front door at 94 Bell St. It was a very small tag and lightly done across one and a half of the grey bricks. It was almost impossible to see from the street. The ‘Graffiti Cleanup Team’ slapped a large swath of bright white paint across three levels of the grey bricks to cover it. This made the problem worse as the large swath of white paint is now visible from a long way down the block. The other place was the hydro box in front of 74 Bell St. It was tagged in numerous places. The ‘Graffiti Cleanup team’ slapped five different locations on
the box with bright green paint. The box is a faded green colour and these paint patches show prominently. There is also a safety concern as the ‘new paint’ most likely does not meet the specification for painting an electrical box. There are graffiti removal solvents and methods available. A quick check on the City of Ottawa’s website has a reference page on graffiti removal. Running around and slapping paint over graffiti just makes the problems worse, it should be removed properly. There also may be legal implications as the ‘Graffiti Cleanup Team’ is painting over private property without informing the owners and providing them time to clean up the problem themselves as per the appropriate bylaws concerned.

She’s too young to know it, but defeat came to my little girl’s life this month, by the slimmest of margins. The Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls recently had an event as part of the town’s Open Doors weekend where visitors could dress up in silly costumes and have their picture taken on the ancient, ahem, privy out back. There was a bit of polite toilet humour - you could have your photo taken waving a big foam finger saying “We’re Number One!” But our little princess had her photo taken with a cute wee tiara, and a wide smile as she sat on her throne. Participants could also enter in to an online contest through Facebook for people to vote for the best photo. Naturally, my wife and I raided our online address books and relatives from as far away as New Zealand and Ireland were recruited to do their due diligence in time for the end of voting on June 10. Our own Brier Dodge, of course, cast her ballot for Michaela, as did our managing editor Jason Marshall, who promised to set up 73 fake Facebook sites so as he could continue to vote for her. I half-jokingly promised front page editorials endorsing her and was musing about making the basement into a campaign office. Michaela had a good strong lead for a long time, but then another little girl started gaining. I sent out an email blast on June 9, but sadly it was not enough to stop the other girl’s surge. Michaela ended up losing by one vote. Thankfully, she was blissfully unaware of all of this, but the Heritage House was gracious in defeat on her behalf, giving her some lovely stickers - half of which she tried to eat, the other half ending up on her face - and a mug of hot chocolate. While she may have lost, we may have won something - a weird intro to potty training.

Otesha Projects cycles to – then through – Almonte BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
ALMONTE – In a world where resources have been sucked dry, daily life would be different. With no electricity or means to grow food, cities would turn into hungry hideouts, possibly with people forced to live underground due to extreme heat. This is what the Otesha Project acted out in Almonte on June 16, as part of their Phenomenal Food tour. Despite the staggering message, the performance by the 14-person group was upbeat and vibrant. They played out the story of Billy, a teenager who struggled through a class assignment about what he wanted to do with his life. Billy got caught up in a dream, where he landed in his life 30 years in the future. Power lines were being cut down because there was no more electricity; there was no more gas for cars. His neighbours were growing potatoes outside because nothing else could grow in the poor soil, and living underground because no one could stand the sweltering outdoor heat. The entire cast was on stage for most of the show, using no props, lights or sound equipment. Just their voices and the shirts on their backs – shirts which were purchased at second-hand stores before being turned inside out and screened with the Otesha logo.
The project is founded on individual choices reducing consumption and building a more sustainable future. For this cast, they use little electricity, no gas, no air conditioning or heating and no imported out-of-area food for their tour. In Swahili, Otesha means “reason to dream.” These young performers are living a dream of a sustainable lifestyle as they practice what they preach and pedal from Kitchener to Ottawa, making stops for performances over two months. They ride their bikes and stay at farms or community centres along the way, where they pitch in with the work. “We do work shares where we plant tomatoes to potatoes,” said cast member Samantha Tavenor. “At one farm, we built a chicken coop, then transported all the chickens. We literally get our hands dirty.” The group doesn’t have a designated leader, and works as a team to plan out routes and meals. The team members, who range in age from 19 to 28 on this tour, come from a buffet of backgrounds and travel experience. Hometowns range from Ottawa to California to Hong Kong. Some are students, others took leave from full-time jobs to be part of the project. But they all have united to share the same goal and really become a family, said crew member Ian Wearmouth. Danielle d’Entremont was excited to ride into Kingston, where she attends Queen’s

The Otesha Project performs at Almonte District High School on June 15. The group uses everyone on the stage instead of props and sound equipment - a good thing, since they are carrying all their belongings with them on their bicycle tour. University, as the team wore superhero capes made out of towels. That was one of the better moments, as the group spends most of their time outside. “It’s laughable, the weather we’re riding in sometimes,” d’Entremont said. “You can just laugh it off.” After the morning performance at Almonte District High School, principal Laurie McCabe presented the group with a $300 donation towards the project. Mississippi Mills bicycle month organizer Jeff Mills was on hand to greet the group, as they visited ADHS as a part bicycle month, and were set to perform later in the day at Almonte’s Gemmill Park.
The group planned an eco-Almonte day, and cycled through town to Equator Coffee for fair-trade cup of Joe. They rested their heads at Almonte’s youth TYPS centre – which several called a luxury after spending countless nights camped out with the cows in the tents they carry with them. It takes a special type to do Otesha, crew members said, before agreeing “kind of kooky,” was the best way to describe themselves. After starting May 1 in New Hamburg, Ont., the crew cycled to Ottawa the following day to perform their final show of the tour on Saturday evening.
Dr. Bill Blaine talks about stroke risk factors and warning signs “A” is for Arms – “Sudden weakness or numbness in one or both arms can signify stroke,” he says.
Strokes, which occur when any part of the brain is deprived of oxygen, are Canada’s third-leading cause of death.
“S” is for Speech – “Slurring of words or garbled speech can also indicate stroke,” says Dr. Blaine.
To mark national Stroke Awareness Month, Almonte family physician Dr. Bill Blaine talks about stroke risk factors and warning signs.
“T” is for Time – “Time is of the essence when it comes to stroke treatment,” stresses Dr. Blaine. “For every hour of delay in treatment of stroke, your brain will lose as many neurons as it would over 3.5 years of normal aging.”
Know the risk factors – “Risk factors for ischemic stroke include age, which means older than 40,” says Dr. Blaine.
The optimal potential benefit from available treatment occurs if the treatment is provided within three hours of the onset of symptoms.
“Other risk factors include heart disease, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, elevated cholesterol levels, a close relative with a history of strokes, a sedentary lifestyle and a high body-mass index.”
This ad is generously underwritten by the
Learn FAST – “We often use the acronym FAST for the main warning signs of stroke and how to respond,” says Dr. Blaine. “F” is for Face – “Any sudden weakness or drooping in the face, or sudden problems with vision can be a sign of stroke,” says Dr. Blaine.
“If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention,” says Dr. Blaine. “Just as importantly, if you see these symptoms in a loved one, encourage them to seek immediate medical attention.”

The most common type of stroke is the ischemic stroke, which is caused by a blockage in a blood vessel in the brain.

Coleman becomes Cavanagh DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – Cavanagh Road has risen again! The section of Coleman Street from McNeely Avenue to the town of Carleton Place’s eastern boundary was due to be renamed Cavanagh Road last year. But, in order to do this, “the property had to be under the jurisdiction of the town,” according to documents presented at the town’s policy review committee on June 14. “The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has conveyed ownership of the portion of road built from the Coleman and Hooper Street intersection to the boundary of the town,” the report from council stated. Following this change, the town will now be able to alert 911 emergency services, the global positioning system, and other stakeholders of the name change of the road. The town will also be changing road signs in the area, and businesses, such as Rental Village, at the old 348 Coleman St., will now be identified as 10348 Cavanagh Rd. Troy Drew, manager of Rental Village, said he was pleased with council’s decision. “For us, it has been more of a confusion,” Drew said of the interim period when his business was in limbo between the old and new names. “If you put us into a map (program online), customers,
shoppers, they can’t find us. GPS can’t recognize us.” The company changed its stationery last year, as well as its billing address. “We just got a notice that the road would change,” Drew said of last year’s decision. “It’s ok if you’re coming from Ottawa on Highway 7 and you can exit on Cavanagh Road, in Beckwith Township. “I think it’ll make life easier and people can find us on a map,” added Drew. The address on the front of his building still reads 348 Coleman St., and Drew promised that he would change it to 10348 Cavanagh Rd., “as soon as they change,” the street signs.

Compassion in the service of care, Jamie MacDougall and the Order of Canada
His commitment to Ottawa is obvious. It is his commitment to Canada’s Deaf and persons with disability that led to his investiture in the Oder of Canada, on May 27. “You immediately think of all the people that made it possible, especially those with disabilities who inspired me. It is validation for thousands of people,” says MacDougall of the honour. Deafness and disability is personal for MacDougall. His parents, Peter and Gladys, were both deaf. His daughter, Paige, suffered a serious head injury at age 17, bringing his awareness of disabilities even closer to home. “People with disabilities have greater potential than we realize,” says MacDougall. “They have to overcome a lot of stereotypes…Just like everyone else, they aspire to realize their full potential.” Rusty Wendt, the head Carleton University’s Department of Psychology, understood this calling early on, convincing McDougall to take a summer job working with deaf parents seeking better means to communicate with their hearing children.
His research is rooted in the everyday challenges faced by the Deaf and persons with disability. “Whether its children or adults,” says MacDougall, “I’ve been touched by the courage of extraordinary people.” Those people, in turn, have enabled valuable research.

“The strength of clinically driven research is that it is both practical and sophisticated because of the problems it allows us to explore”. During one particularly complex case with a deaf Inuk in Nunavut who was said to have no language, MacDougall discovered the Inuit had their own sign language – Inuit Sign Language.

Jamie MacDougall is the founder and Director of The Ottawa Hospital’s Institute for Rehabilitation Research and Development. He grew up in Overbrook, a brisk run from the General Campus. He went to high school at Lisgar, beside City Hall.
MacDougall left Carleton for McGill, getting his Masters and PhD in Clinical Psychology, studying the psychological impact of sensory deprivation and the link between deafness and literacy. Moving to Newfoundland’s Memorial University, he studied the impact of resettlement on cognitive development in children. From there, he went on to Rochester New York’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf. Then, back to McGill, where he spent 40 years teaching in the area of deafness and disability, and lead the Mackay Centre for Deaf and Disabled Children.

CP plans to breathe new life into St. James Park cairn Repairs likely to cost in the neighbourhood of $3,100 DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
CARLETON PLACE – If you’re travelling abroad this summer, a Carleton Place councillor wants you to bring a part of that country home with you, to help repair the cairn at St. James’ Park. “It is in a bad state of repair,” said Coun. Gary Strike, during the June 14 town council meeting. “There is a huge chunk out of it.” The cairn is made up of stones from 16 different countries. “It would be nice to determine which stone is from which country and identify it,” said Strike,
who added that one of the visible stones has barbed wire in it, a remnant of the Berlin Wall, which was torn down in 1989. The cairn also contains stones from China, South Africa and Russia. He added that a map pinpointing out the various stones and their origins would be helpful to visitors to the cairn. As many residents prepare for their summer vacations, Strike had a suggestion for the civicminded tourist. “Bring back a stone whey they visit various countries,” Strike said. He also suggested that various embassies and high commissions in Ottawa could also be tapped to provide some samples.
“My husband could provide stones from all over the world,” said Mayor Wendy LeBlanc. There used to be a plaque affixed to the cairn, but it had to be removed due to weather dam-
age. It is currently in the safe hands of Joanne Henderson, the town’s manager of recreation and culture. Strike estimated repairs to the cairn at about $3,100.
“It’s possible to get it donated, the fixing of it,” said Strike. “It could be a tourist attraction.”
You‛re one step away from reaching your goal!

Mind, Body & Spirit Cranio What?
CranioSacral (crane-ee-oh-say-crul) Therapy uses the bones of the skull (cranium) and base of the spine (sacrum) as handles to help release tension in the tissues that enclose and protect the central nervous system. This allows the whole body to function in a smooth and unrestricted manner. CranioSacral Therapy is performed with the patient fully clothed, lying on their back with pillows under the knees. Using a light touch, the therapist monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect restrictions and imbalances. Unlike massage therapy where tension and restrictions are “worked out” by pushing, pulling and kneading (often deeply or vigorously), craniosacral therapy uses gentle manipulations that “move into” the restrictions so that a natural “unwinding” process can take place. Manipulations are usually gentle and subtle – it may feel like the therapist is merely resting their hands on the body – but the results can be deep and profound.
CranioSacral Therapy is calming and soothing, and triggers a deep relaxation response. It is not uncommon for patients to ‘drift off ’ into a dream-like state or even fall asleep during a session.
CranioSacral Therapy is highly effective for the treatment of a wide range of conditions including : • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
CranioSacral Therapy may be done as a stand-alone therapy or may be incorporated into a Massage Therapy treatment. For further information on how CranioSacral therapy can help you, contact Christine at 613-257-3632 or christine@dixonmassage. ca.

All bird species have a nictitating membrane, a translucent vertical fold under their eyelids on the side of the eye towards the bill. Birds blink periodically, most with this membrane alone. The nictitating membrane is like a third eyelid, according to the book Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavoiur by David Allen Sibley (2001). Anne Sonnenburg of Almonte watches the ospreys feeding their young by the ballpark on Country Street. Neil Carleton, also of Almonte, reported chimney swifts soaring over the downtown on June 14.
Whip-poor-wills were heard at Shaun McLaughlin’s property on June 14 and 15, in Pakenham. Also in Pakenham, Lorraine and Ray Holland have heard chimney swifts and common nighthawks. Ray saw a rubythroated hummingbird carrying spider webbing for its nest. In Carleton Place, Mike Jeays sent us pictures of a great-crested flycatcher peeking out of its nest box. Betty Robinson had a pileated woodpecker visiting her property, June 14. What do you do when a young bird falls into the river? Gail Currie asked herself this question on June 16. The bird was rescued, placed safely in the sun, and recovered. It flew off to rejoin its rock pigeon family. Please call Lynda at 613-256-5013, or email: bennett@magma.ca with bird reports.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mississippi Mills residents wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go anywhere else for Canada Day this year, as the annual celebrations in Almonte and Pakenham promise excellent entertainment, activities for the family, and a possible brush with royalty. While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and his bride Kate, will make a much-publicized visit to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital, those who stick around Almonte will get a treat of their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a much better chance of having your photo taken with Will and Kate in Almonte or Pakenham than anywhere else in Canada,â&#x20AC;? said Nicole Guthrie, community and cultural programming director for the town, adding she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into details just yet, but promised fun for all on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And while you wait for a glimpse, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots to keep the whole family busy and entertained throughout the weekend.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the Royal surprise, Guthrie has scheduled an exciting and wideranging musical line-up thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure to keep everyone on their feet. On June 30, celebrations kick off in Pakenham with the traditional parade at 7 p.m. along the main street, a variety show featuring Gail Gavin, activities for
the children, and fireworks after dark. Hitting the stage at Gemmill Park on July 1 will be Kelly Prescott, fresh off the release of a new album, along with the Mississippi Jug Stompers, the Ric Dennis 3, Ken Workman and the Union, and a special showcase of Almonte and District High School talent. Music begins at 1 p.m. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games, crafts, and contests will also begin at 1 p.m., running until 4 p.m. The official opening ceremonies kick off at 3 p.m. There will also be a classic car show at 9 a.m. As always, fireworks will light up the skies over Almonte, beginning shortly after dusk. To keep events running smoothly, volunteers are needed for various activities throughout the day. High school students needing to complete their 40 hours of service can fulfill their requirements while celebrating Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 144th year. As July 1 is just around the corner, Guthrie promised all residents in Mississippi Mills will find fun and entertainment with the convenience of staying local. And if residents keep their eyes peeled at both Pakenham and Almonte celebrations, they just might catch a glimpse of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous newlywed couple!

there was no place for us to do laundry,” he said of when he first arrived in Canada. “I had a lot of time to think (at the laundromat). One day, I was just sitting there and said, ‘Well, wouldn’t it be nice to bless these people with free laundry?’” The kids also held three Party in the Park, nights at Riverside Park, with a kickball tournament on June 14, dance party on June 15 and a pre-Father’s Day Olympics on June 16. Three more teams, two from Georgia and one from Alabama, are slated to arrive to continue with Ridenour’s “church planting” initiative in late July, and he has already been chatting with Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc about possible goodwill initiatives they could take on. “(We will do) whatever you need,” Ridenour told LeBlanc. “If you need us to plant trees, pick up garbage.” Before the choir of young people began their concert of high-spirited, rockinspired Christian anthems last week, one resident was heard to tell a friend, “I hope that they sing Georgia,” a major hit for Ray Charles, and now that state’s official song. “It is just amazing up here, it is just so natuProne to Bladder Infections? ral,” said Stevie Ogden That should tell you something!

had an image of Canadians, before travelling north of the 49th parallel, as “the person with ear muffs on and is out in the snow.” Ogden and Norris might well come back with the second wave of Southerners next month. “We’re hoping we can come back and see how it works out,” said Ogden. “We’ve planted lots of seeds.”

From front page Lamothe is a “church planter” at the Sequoia Community Church in Barrhaven. “Rick had a vision for church planting,” said Ridenour, with dreams of planting similar churches in Orleans, Kingston, Kemptville and Carleton Place. Lamothe took Ridenour around to the different communities, but Carleton Place stood out. “As we drove through this town, peace settled upon us,” said Ridenour. While Ridenour’s home church is Baptist, he is quick to point out that his new church, slated to be called the inSpire Church of Carleton Place and due for opening this September, will not try to take away from the Baptist Church at 299 Bridge St. “We’re going to be more denominational,” said Ridenour. “We just want to love people, by trying to build relationships with people.” Instead of attracting worshipers from other Protestant denominations in town, Ridenour wants to bring in people who normally don’t go to church. While his Southern accent is not thick, he joked that he may soon have to overcome the stereotypical image of the fireand-brimstone Southern preacher man. “What you hear of the South on TV is not all real,” he said. Plans for the new church are so new that a website has not even been set up. “We’re really early in this phase,” he said, though he added that he is looking at the former pawn shop on the southeast corner of Franktown Road and Coleman Street. “We’ve tried to keep our mind open,” when it comes to locations, he said. The kids on the tour were kept busy during their stay in Lanark County. They took in the obligatory tour of Ottawa and Parliament Hill, but they were kept busy doing everything from handing out free coffee on Highway 7, paying for people’s laundry at a laundromat on Franktown Road, volunteering at the Ottawa Mission and appearing for a play date at the Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown. “When we were leaving (near) Perth,

Interestingly, more people gave them a hassle about the two pieces of candy they had attached to each flyer, and the lack of nutritional value of the sweets, rather than anything printed on the material itself. Canadians reputation for politeness was also noticeable to the Southern visitors. One atheist Norris met was rather pleasant in his interaction. “Oh, I’m an atheist,” Norris said of one man he met. “I don’t believe in God. But thank you for talking to me.” “People are a lot more friendly here than they are in America,” Norris added. What surprised the duo the most was the diversity that they witnessed on the streets of Ottawa and Carleton Place. Norris

From front page Operators such as Morrow would lose business from accidents and vehicle impoundments if the contract is awarded; even if future accidents take place across the street from their shop on Hwy 29. Morrow is one of the operators represented by the Ontario Towing Association, who submitted a request to the Mississippi Mills town council to ask council to oppose the OPP’s RFP. “I support this too,” said Mayor John Levi at the committeeof-the-whole meeting on Monday. “These small tow truck operators, half of them will go out of business.” The company who receives the contract would need to have the car moved within 30 minutes during business hours, and 40 minutes at night, Morrow said. This means that they would contract out the initial move to a local company, then come and pick the car up at their convenience – leaving the car owner with two towing bills. Councillors agreed at the committee meeting that they don’t want to see a large company skimming profits off of local towing operators. “The bottom line is it was hashed in Toronto and targeted to the major cities,” said Coun. Denzil Ferguson. “It ignores the rural communities all together, it just doesn’t work.” Council voted unanimously in support of the Ontario Towing Association and local tow truck drivers to oppose the RFP. The RFP was discussed at a Lanark County police meeting in

Dharma Developments second new home community
Orville Station is set to be located at the former site of the Canadian Pacific Stittsville Railway Station. This is a mixed-use project in which the residential phase of the development consists of 36 condominium suites in the heart of Stittsville Village. All models are priced starting from the mid $200’s. These stylish one bedroom lofts and two bedroom suites are ideal for home buyers looking for a low-maintenance, modern lifestyle in a healthy environment. Perhaps some of the most compelling aspects of this development are the location – in Stittsville because of the nature of this quaint village, but also the goals of the developer which include building a community for people that is focused on people. Providing those from different socialeconomic status either the opportunity to buy their first home in Stittsville or a home to down-size into and allow them stay in the community they love. The development was designed to make the best use of the land available on the site, in order to provide home owners with green space to admire
and enjoy; something that most condominium communities don’t provide. To give people a clean, healthy environment where they can breathe easy. To bring more people into the community without taking too much land to do it, help revitalize the south end of Stittsville Main Street and support the new and old businesses in the immediate vicinity. To take advantage of the public transit that is available right outside the front doors of Orville Station. Dharma is one step closer to bringing this innovative and important community to Stittsville. With foundation complete for the first phase and phase two selling, It also provides an example for other developers and the greater City of Ottawa to embrace sustainable development. With less and less land becoming available to developers at city limits to build homes, it is more important than ever to build consciously and responsibly within city limits. Building homes that fit within the existing community promote health, community growth and grow tax revenue for the city.
Dr. Bruce G. Firestone, a broker at Partners Advantage GMAC and Professor at Ottawa University is a proponent of this type of development and has shown support for Orville Station citing that we need to “build cities for people; cars are an important consideration, but they should be a lower priority.” He also thinks that if density in a neighbourhood increases, so should the property values of the surrounding homes as it brings more people to live, work and shop in the area. This increases demand because more people will want to live and work in the area and so pricing should increase as well.” This movement towards sustainable development of quality homes and maximized use of land helps our natural environment and maintains or improves the health of people within communities. We will see benefits for years to come – better health preservation which could lower impacts on the healthcare system, increased value in home investments, lower energy consumption and greater sense of community.
Smart Move. Smart Home.

Love and every blessing, Mum, Dad, Jessica, Laura and Hannah.
Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our
way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying...“We Remember”.

This is a day where residents of Carleton Place can put reusable/ recyclable items out at the curb they no longer want and others can freely collect the “treasures”. Items can be placed on the curb no earlier than Friday, June 24th and MUST be brought back in (if not taken) no later than Sunday, June 26th. Please ensure that no items that you do not wish to give away are left near the road or sidewalk. Disposal of items not taken is solely the responsibility of the resident – The Town of Carleton Place will NOT be picking the items up.

Items such as small tables, chairs, furniture or outdoor items would be a welcome addition to cottages or student apartments. Please beware of children’s safety, do not place any items out that might have potential danger i.e. refrigerators/freezers with door. We also request you place items in a location that does not obstruct or impede vehicle or pedestrian traffic.
