MAYOR'S LUNCH BRINGS MP, MPP TO THE TABLE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Business and political leaders from across the area came together at the The Grand Hotel July 18 in Carleton Place for the second installment of the Mayor's Lunch series. Hosted by the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with Carleton Place Mayor Doug Black, Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid and his provincial counterpart, MPP Randy Hillier, also joined in on the session. Cannabis dominated much of Reid's comments during the lunch. He indicated he voted in favour of

the legalization of cannabis, which was realized in October 2018, and said it's been fantastic for the economy. Right now, Canada is the first country to legalize it at the federal level and he believes that could be valuable as the market evolves. "It seems reasonable to me that with a head start like this we can play a major role in the cannabis industry as it becomes legalized in more countries," he explained, adding the October federal election will play a key role. "We need to have regulations to allow our industry to grow dominantly and efficiently." Reid also touched on the rise of artisanal breweries, distilleries and wineries

throughout the province and in the county. Craft breweries have had a significant impact in the county, he said, naming off Cartwright Springs in Pakenham, the Perth Brewery and Carleton Place's Braumeister as examples. "This kind of production can only happen if there's a favourable regulatory environment," he stated, noting tax law changes as a reason for the rise. "A lower excise tax on the first 100 decalitres creates a new market." He said something similar should be occurring for cideries and distilleries and that's slowly happening. Vodkow in Almonte was recently permitted to

Hillier focused on the weakness of "administrative or bureaucratic levels of these types of govern-

ment." "In Ontario there are approximately 400,000 regulations that people have to abide by ... it's inevitable that there will be some inconsistencies, variations and discrepancies in how

the regulatory framework is circulated," Hillier stated, noting what's good for downtown Toronto isn't right for Carleton Place. "It's important for elected representatives to take another step forward in helping resolve this." With a new council and many new staff members in Carleton Place, Black also took guests on a brief tour of council's new corporate strategic plan, which will guide them over this term. It includes an action plan with communication, growth, corporate health and economic development policies. It also touches on affordable housing, the Development Permit Bylaw and development charges background study to help Carleton Place manage its high growth rate. "It can't sit on the shelf. It's one thing for us to discuss these things, but it's all about the deliverables," he said. The next Mayor's Lunch is planned for October.

FIRST CORNERSTONE LANDING TINY HOME UNVEILED IN PERTH DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Forget go big or go home, now it's go small and call it your home. As part of a collaboration between Cornerstone Landing Youth Services and Algonquin College's Perth campus, the first tiny home for at-risk youth was unveiled on Wednesday, July 24. "This project has been about three years in the making," said Cornerstone's board chair, Terrilee Kelford, at Perth campus. "So glad it's done." Now, it's a matter of getting it, "literally on the

THE ISSUE: THE HOUSING CRISIS LOCAL IMPACT: LANARK COUNTY'S FIRST TINY HOME WAS UNVEILED AT ALGONQUIN COLLEGE - PERTH THIS WEEK ground." Already, "someone has offered to put it on their land," in a rural township. "My goal is to have it on the ground before the first snow," she said.

Desmond Devoy/Torstar As Mayor John Fenik, left, and Cornerstone Landing Youth Services board member Shirley Kelford, right, hold the ribbon, Cornerstone Landing's board chair Terrilee Kelford officially cuts the ribbon for the new tiny home at Algonquin College's Perth campus on Wednesday, July 24. Kelford admitted that "I teared up when I saw it for the first time," she recalled of the finished home, and that she may do so again

when she hands over the keys to a youth in need of shelter. The tiny home cost about $78,000 to build, and

the trailer cost $5,200 $20,533.61 through fundraising, $32,767.41 in donations, and $30,000 from Algonquin College, Perth.

"I would ideally like to have at least one (tiny home) in each town," in the county, including Perth, Smiths Falls, and Carleton Place. "I want these everywhere." She also envisions a village of slightly bigger tiny homes, which are accessible, "at least four or five," on a lot, which can be used for long-term affordable housing. The idea came to her about three years ago, as she drew her idea on a napkin at her parent's home. She stressed that there is a desperate need for housing. Between January and March of this year, there were 12 people sleeping outside in the winter weather in Lanark County. Three people alone were believed to be sleeping out in the woods near the Bethel Pentecostal Church on the edge of Smiths Falls.

A DIFFERENT BUILD Regulatory issues aside, the build itself was not without its hassles. "If you've ever built an IKEA cabinet, the second one is a lot easier!" joked Yuergen Beck, president of Redwood Homes 1000 Islands Ltd. "We definitely learned some things that

will be easier next time." On this particular build, "there were a lot of things that you had to think six steps ahead." Beck reiterated what Graff had said earlier about these tiny homes exceeding the building code. "If anybody ever says to you this is like a mobile home, it's absolutely not. This is well beyond minimum building code standards. It was a lot more detailed and meticulous and well-built than your conventional boxed house," said Beck. Overall, "it was a great project." "Now that it's here ... everything becomes real, a bit more tangible," said Christopher Hahn, the dean of Algonquin College's Perth campus. "There is a multiplier effect."

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

A partnership between Cornerstone Landing Youth Services and Algonquin College's Perth campus, announced last year, has seen the first tiny home, meant as a measure to ease youth homelessness, unveiled on campus on July 24, with plans for more tiny homes across the county in the future.

trailer 100 per cent meets the building code - in fact it exceeds it," said architect Gordon Graff. "This is a movable structure ...(but) it is a very rigid structure," much like a traditional house. It even has tiedowns that would help it withstand, say, a hurricane. "In the building code, there is a perception that ... 508-square-feet is the minimum that the Ontario Building Code would allow," he said. "There is a clause that is very visible in there that states that if your living and kitchen space is combined, that your minimum square footage can be quite small," he said. (Kelford jumped in to say that she believed it to be 143-square-feet.) Jason Takerer, who worked on the project as an energy efficiency consultant, said that quite a few municipalities have restrictions against trailers and trailer parks. "When most municipalities see this structure, the bells go off: 'Oh, this is a mobile home,'" Takerer said, which they are not. (Kelford said earlier that she had had municipalities

tell her that "I do not want trailer parks in my township," she recalled.) Along with NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard), he warned that "there might be regulatory barriers and policy barriers in place for municipalities that prevent this." There are also concerns about the waste generated from this kind of home too, he noted. This type of tiny house would require its own septic system, he said. However, "we overcame this barriers, to a large degree. We fleshed those details out." Another challenge that Takerer sees is one of perception, that these houses are too small to live in. "It's just not so," he insisted. "These projects are the early adopters that push through and pave the way for an affordable housing solution for all of us."

The Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation topped $1,000,000 in revenue in 2018-19 making it the most successful year in more than a decade. Revenue was up as a result of support for the ‘Put Yourself in the Picture’ campaign, the Car or Cash for Health Care Raffle, the Mississippi Mills River Run and Walk and several legacy gifts. “So far almost $379,000 has been transferred to the Hospital and Manor based on invoices for the new diagnostic imaging equipment campaign,” said Rob Scott, Foundation Chair. This also included other priority needs such as new operating lights for the Obstetrics operating room, new lifts for Fairview Manor and sterilization equipment for various areas in the Hospital. We’re ready to transfer another $250 - $300,000 as soon as the Hospital requests it towards the diagnostic imaging campaign and for pieces such as new anesthesia machines.”

Paddle for Almonte Hospital There is still time to enter a raft into this year’s Paddle for AGH. The 3rd annual race across the Mississippi will take place from the Almonte beach on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Other activities include canoe and kayak races, paddle board lessons, food, children’s activities and music. Admission is free. Donations accepted. For more information, visit www.almontehospitalfoundation.com or contact raftraceagh@gmail.com

Thanks to all of the donors who participated in this year’s spring appeal. More than $50,000 was donated which means the campaign raised more than $100,000 towards the ‘Put Yourself in the Picture’ campaign. These funds will help finish paying for the new ultrasounds and X-ray machines and go towards the $2.2 million needed to pay for a CT scanner. The amount is double because a generous anonymous donor offered to match all funds contributed up to a total contribution of $50,000!! “We are so appreciative of our incredible match donor and for the hundreds of people who sent in donations to make the campaign a resounding success,” said Al Roberts, CFRE, Managing Director of the AGH FVM Foundation.

Now is the time of year when homeowners may see more bats than usual, and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit offers advice to keep family and pets safe against rabies, histoplasmosis, distacemper and mange. These nocturnal animals feed most actively two or three hours following sunset. They are efficient insect controllers eating about three times their body weight. Bats typically have their babies in June and come August many of the young bats are looking for their own roosting sites. Many bats will roost and hibernate in attics. Although bats are beneficial, they can carry diseases as listed above. Approximately three per cent of bats carry the rabies virus. The most common signs of rabies in bats are the inability to fly and resting in unusual places such as the ground or floor. It is important to remember many of the bats that get into our homes are healthy bats and are looking for a way out. If you find a bat in your home and are sure that there was no human or animal contact, try to confine the bat to one room by closing the door of the room. Open a window or door to the outside and then turn out the lights; the bat should fly out early in the evening. Be sure to wear gloves and other protective clothing when dealing with a bat. If you are bitten, or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or a wound, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately. Should you find a bat in your home and are unsure if it has bitten a family member, contact your health care provider and the health unit to determine if treatment is required. Prior to calling though, check for fresh bites and scratches that may be a result of contact with the bat. Bat proofing your house is necessary when they get inside your living space. It is advisable to contact a pest management company or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance with bat-proofing. To protect pets from rabies it is important to vaccinate them. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in Ontario for domestic cats and dogs. The health unit, in partnership with local veterinarians and municipalities, will be holding the annual rabies clinics Sept. 18 and 25. The cost is $20 each. Visit http://healthunit.org/ clinics-classes/rabies-clinic/ to find out when clinics are available near you.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY FAMILY THANKS COMMUNITY FOR SUPPORT AFTER FIRE My wife Karen and I would like to thank our family, friends, colleagues and "new friends" for their incredible support of our family this past month. Our house on High St. in Carleton Place burned down June 26. Since that time, we have felt nothing but love and support from our many community circles. More incredibly, we heard from an incredible number of people who started texts or phone calls with "my name is ..., you don't know me, but ..." and went on to offer us help. It has been an incredibly humbling experience. We would like to extend our gratitude to the Ocean Wave Fire Company of Carleton Place, the Mississippi Mills, Beckwith, Perth and Smiths Falls fire departments for their help. Fire Chief Pascal Meunier and Deputy Chief Dave Joy and their team worked incredibly hard. Despite the fact that our house is now a pile of rubble, they were able to save a few precious items. The firefighters

were in so many ways successful in their mission. We are eternally grateful to all of them. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us in any way. We have received many gifts of time, money, services, clothing and furniture. There are simply too many groups and individuals to list specifically, but for all involved in the barbecue last week, we are grateful. We are in good hands in this community, and we are thankful for your generous support. We are facing a long journey as we rebuild our home, but due to the love and care we have received, the load has been lightened.

IS THERE A HIDDEN CANDIDATE? In the upcoming federal election, there is a hidden candidate. No, I'm not referring to the relatively invisible Scott Reid, who has been our MP for 18 years! I'm referring to the LanarkFrontenac-Kingston (LFK)

candidate who helped regulate and legalize cannabis, bringing 700 new jobs to the economy of Smiths Falls. I'm referring to the candidate whose party that has lifted 825,000 Canadian children out of poverty. Specifically, 9,530 LFK families receive about $6 million. That money is all spent locally. It supports the businesses in each of LFK's 13 municipalities. Over the next four years this candidate is committed to returning passenger train service to Tweed, Sharbot Lake and Smiths Falls. Highway 7 is becoming four-lanes between Peterborough and Carleton Place. Shouldn't our candidate be at this table of LFK economic development? Shall we give this candidate a name? Consider Smiths Falls businesswoman Kayley Kennedy. At 24, she is politically experienced beyond her years. She is our Liberal candidate. Isn't it time for change in LFK? Isn't it time to have a real candidate?

THERE WAS NO ARGUING WITH MOTHER WHEN A STORM WAS BREWING IT WAS ALWAYS A PRODUCTION DURING A THUNDERSTORM, MARY COOK WRITES MARY COOK Column

All mother needed to hear was the far-away rumble of thunder, and she went right into action, preparing us for survival. She was sure it wasn't a case of IF the house was going to be struck with lightening, but WHEN. On that blistering hot day, the only thing different when we heard the thunder off in the distance, was that Aunt Vanetta was visiting us from Ottawa, and she was sure a match for Mother when it came to storms. The sky had darkened, the sounds of thunder were

getting closer and lightening was flashing, brightening up the kitchen. So that meant the first order of business was pulling down the green blinds, and lighting the coal oil lamp on the pine table. Of course, we five children had been herded into the house with the first peel of thunder, and Father, knowing full well what was happening inside, had vanished into the barn. We weren't allowed to sit anywhere near a window, so we were all in a huddle in the centre of the kitchen sitting like we were ready to play 'musical chairs'. And everyone had to wear rubber-soled running shoes. Of course, neither Audrey nor I owned running shoes, so there we sat

with our feet in shoes that belonged to our brothers. It didn't matter, as long as they had rubber soles, which Mother was sure would save us from a lightening strike. Aunt Vanetta had her Rosary beads in her hand, and a small bottle that looked exactly like the bottles Mother bought from the Raleigh man that held vanilla. We knew it was full of holy water, having been blessed at the Catholic church in Ottawa. Because Mother was so frightened, that's all it took for me to cringe and sit so close to my sister Audrey that she told me she couldn't breathe, and I had to huddle in my own chair, waiting for the lightening to strike our house, which I was sure would happen any minute. The heat in the kitchen was enough to suffocate us, but there we would have to

sit until the peel of thunder was so faint, the storm sounded like it had moved off to another country. Before Aunt Vanetta settled down in a chair in the middle of the kitchen, she took the little vial of holy water and tossed a few drops in the general direction of the windows and the tightly closed door. I had no idea how that would prevent a lightening strike, but it sure made me feel better. Every time the thunder roared, Aunt Vanetta and Mother would cross themselves. Emerson, under his breath, said, "They're a little late, the clap of thunder only comes after the lightening" . My brothers thought the whole idea was sheer nonsense anyway. They would much rather have waited out the storm in the barn with Father. At least they could

play in the hay mow. But Mother wanted everyone in the house, and that's all there was too it. No arguing with Mother when there was a storm brewing. Mother always said thunder storms were worse in the country than they were in New York City. She said she felt safe amongst the tall buildings, all of which had spikes of lightening rods sticking out of their roofs. She also vowed that as soon as she could gather enough egg money, she was having the same rods put on the roof our house. Or course, that never happened. And so we sat out the storms, as Mother said, 'like sitting ducks', whatever that meant. As soon as the thunder was so faint, you could hardly hear it, Mother rolled up the blinds, threw open the kitchen door, and blew out the lamp on the table.

Aunt Vanetta had taken her bottle of holy water upstairs to the bedroom, and the whole house settled down. The running shoes were put back under the bench at the back door, and the brothers headed outside. As for me, I was grateful the storm hit in the daytime. When one came through the night, everyone had to get out of bed, get dressed, and go through the same routine of sitting in the middle of the kitchen wearing rubber soled shoes. That is, except Father, who slept through every night storm, sure that the old log house which had stood for generations wasn't about to go anywhere because of a bit of rain and thunder.

WHAT TO DO DURING A SHORT VISIT TO NASHVILLE JEFF MAGUIRE TALKS ABOUT THE FAST-GROWING MUSIC CITY JEFF MAGUIRE Column

In a previous column I attempted to answer a question I've received from a number of readers and acquaintances who were wondering what they should do in order to get the most out of a short stay in London, England. There is a lot to see and do but it is possible to see some of the main highlights and soak up the atmosphere of the cosmopolitan British capital, even during a short stay.

As I noted in that article I have been asked the same question by people who intend to travel to Nashville but have a limited amount of time to spend in Music City. My wife Kathleen and I have spent a lot of time in Tennessee in recent years. We fell in love with Nashville during our first visit and we don't need any particular excuse to return to the city. For music fans, especially country music followers, Nashville is the epicentre of the industry! Nashville is one of the fastest growing cities on the continent. There are many reasons why including the fact the city is an educational hub (with 21 universities and colleges) and that the cost of living is well below the national average. If you're only going to be in Nashville for two or

three days then I advise booking a room in the city centre in a hotel close to Broadway and 2nd Avenue the main entertainment streets. If you stay downtown you'll be close to many of the main highlights including "Honky-Tonk Highway" which is another name for Broadway. The live music in downtown Nashville begins in multiple locations at 11 a.m. and continues non-stop until 2:30 the next morning. My first advice is to take one of the hop-on, hop-off trolley tours which will ferry you around the city, drop you at various points of interest and return you to the downtown. In Nashville the trolleys are a great way to get oriented as well as see the main highlights of the city in short order. For music fans an abso-

lute must is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It faces onto Demonbreun Street, between 4th and 5th Avenues, downtown. Give yourself at least three hours to see it properly! There are numerous other museums dedicated to individual performers (the Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline museums share a building on 3rd Ave. S.) or the music industry in the city centre. A lesser known but wonderful example is the Musician's Hall of Fame and Museum on Gay St. at the top of 4th Ave. N. It focuses on how music, across many genres, was (and is) made. Our favourite live music haunt is Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on the north side of Broadway, near 5th Ave. It's just around the corner from Ryman Auditorium,

the so-called "Mother Church of Country Music" which is another must for Nashville visitors. Ryman Auditorium, the historic church (circa 1892) turned concert hall, is central to Nashville's main draw, the country music industry. For many years the Ryman was home to the 'Grand Ole Opry', the longest running radio program in US history. Beginning in 1974 the Opry has aired from the spectacular 'Grand Ole Opry House' a much larger venue than Ryman Auditorium located 10 miles from downtown. Country music

fan or not an Opry show is well worth the price of admission. Like London, Nashville is a city filled with opportunities and surprises. It has become one of our favourite places. Like us, I'm confident that a short stay in Music City will lead you to make future, longer visits. Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

AMAZING RACE SHOWCASES TOWN'S HERITAGE JONATHAN MULVIHILL jmulvihill@metroland.com Residents got a better understanding of their own backyard as they embarked on The Great Carleton Place Amazing Race on July 28. The event was modelled after the popular scavenger hunt in Ottawa as well as the TV show The Amaz-

ing Race. Participants registered in groups of up to four and travelled around town, completing various tasks. The event was organized as part of the months-long Carleton Place 200 celebration. Mayor Doug Black welcomed all the participants of the race before the teams began their journey.

"It's good to see so many faces here today," he said. "As with our other Carleton Place 200 events, the committee has planned this race for a while. I hope to see this event continue in the years to come." Other events held as part of Carleton Place 200 included an outdoor concert, a trivia night and a celebration parade.

LOCAL HEALTH HUMAN RESOURCE COMMITTEE IN HIGH GEAR Recent news of the upcoming departure or retirement of several family physicians in Perth and Smiths Falls has highlighted the importance of the local Health Human Resources Committee (HHRC). The committee, reformatted and expanded in 2018, is a local initiative to co-ordinate and maximize the delivery of primary care health services. "We understand community members concerns when they hear about a family physician leaving," said HHRC chair Michele Bellows, CEO of Rideau Community Health Services (RCHS). "We want people to know that we're on this and are actively working to recruit primary care pro-

viders to our communities. Our goal is to ensure that every local resident who wants access to a primary care provider has one." The committee currently has 15 members representing the full range of local health and community leadership. This includes: Perth and Smiths Fall District Hospital (PSFDH) CEO Dr. Barry Guppy and chief of staff Dr. Kate Stole; municipal leaders from Perth, Smiths Falls and Merrickville-Wolford; family physicians from local physician groups as well as members from the Nurse Practitioner Led-Clinic; Community Health Centres in the area, HealthForceOntario and Valley Heartland Economic Development. PSFDH's professional physician recruiter is also on the committee. RCHS CEO Bellows says that one of the challenges all communities in Ontario face when it comes to primary health care delivery is that no single authority or agency is responsible for it. "This is why it's so important that it's a community effort. As a community we're collectively re-

sponsible for ensuring we have great access to primary care," she said, noting that the committee met in mid-July and will again in early August. "With our committee and community partners we're creating a strong and integrated primary care community throughout the entire area." At present, the HHRC is focused on developing concrete near-term bridging solutions for local patients who will lose a family physician. As a permanent coordinating body, the HHRC will also develop a longerterm co-ordinated health human resources plan to meet the changing and growing needs of the Smiths Falls, Perth and surrounding communities. "We have a great community," said Dr. Guppy. "We've successfully recruited in the past, and patients should feel reassured that we're working as a total community to build on this tradition of success."

He is survived by his nine grandchildren and his brothers Wilmot, Robert and Don. He was predeceased by his sister Jennifer Connolly. John was an artist, with an eye for architecture, design and a great appreciation for nature. His love for travel took him around the globe, traveling throughout North America, Europe, India, South East Asia and Australia. He attended Mount Allison University, where he studied under esteemed artists such as Alex Colville. After graduating from The Art Students League in New York City in the 60’s, he was accepted to apprentice with Henry Moore in England where he was greatly inspired and would continue creating sculptures very reminiscent of Moore. John owned an historic farm and mill, Allan’s Mill, just west of Perth, Ontario, where he lovingly spent much of his adult life with his family and his dogs. His studio, in the beautifully restored mill was a place of much inspiration, where many of his creative sculptures were born. A great admiration for stone developed while restoring his home, it’s surrounding buildings and others. This included a building in the heritage town of Perth, for which he won the Heritage Canada Regional Award. John received many significant commissions in his lifetime. He was awarded by his Excellency Roland Michener to create the Michener Award for Journalism, commissioned by Dr. R.H. Hubbard, chief curator of the National Gallery of Canada. John designed a ceremonial mace for the Royal Society of Canada, commissioned by Her Excellency Mme. Jules Léger, which serves as a medal awarded annually by Heritage Canada. John was also commissioned by Governor General Schreyer to design an award for the Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada. Beyond the accolades, he will be remembered for his love of family, heritage, history, art and nature. Diagnosed with early onset dementia, John lived with the decline of this disease for 16 years. May he now find peace. Friends and family are invited to a Visitation on Thursday, August 1, 2019 at Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (280 Beechwood Ave.) between 11:30 am to 1 p.m., followed by a Memorial Service and light luncheon.

Memoriam

MOIR, Kenneth December 27, 1959 - Aug. 4, 2009

All endings are also beginnings. Lost love is still love - it takes a different form. Memory becomes you partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life on earth ends. Love doesn’t. Marlene, Darlene and David, Brittany and Brooke.

Donald Ivan Lashley September 7, 1929 - July 28, 1994 “Love is eternal” In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle. “Forever in our hearts, always on our minds. Together again we will be, all in God’s time. Heaven gained another angel the day you left.” These past 25 years, we have truly missed the gift of your wisdom and the joy of life you had for all our family, young and old. You were an incredible gentleman, role model and teacher, who held a great compassion for others, especially your students and young people. Dad, you are forever young and forever loved and missed, and we hope you are enjoying a dance with Mom. Always remembered with love. ~Your children, David, Sheryn, Wayne and Karen. SADLER, Iva Margaret In loving memory of a dear Mother and Grandmother who passed away August 2, 1988. Someday we hope to meet you, Someday, we know not when. We shall meet in a better land And never part again. ~Lovingly remembered by the family.

THOM, William “Bill” August 7, 2017

We thought of you today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the day before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, All we have are memories, And a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, In which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. -

Always in our thoughts and sadly missed Love you forever Audrey Becky, Jen, Jeff and families BRYAN, Leonard August 3, 2018 In loving memory of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Sadly missed along life’s way, Quietly remembered every day. No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts you’re always there. Missed and loved, ~ Dave, Jackie and grandchildren

BOLGER, Howard 1922-2009 In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, and great grandfather who passed away August 6, 2009. For someone who meant so much And loved by all who knew Who left behind a trail of tears And precious memories too. We loved the sunshine in his smile And kindness in his heart, But Heaven saw that he was tired Which meant we had to part. And now as we remember him today Dear angels hear our prayer, Please guard him With your gentle wings And tend him with great care, For he was someone wonderful And words just can’t convey How much we wish that he was here Once more with us today. Missing your smile, your voice, your sense of humour, your wit, your way of making everything better.... Mostly missing you. Forever loved and missed by Brian, Judy, Connie and families.

THANK YOU FROM THE ZIEBARTH’S FAMILY In memory of Olive Elsie Ziebarth (nee Smithson) The family of the late Ollie Ziebarth wish to express their deep appreciation to all of you who have offered such kindness, much needed support, thoughtful messages of sympathy, and comforting food and flowers in our bereavement. We wish to acknowledge those who provided wonderful care for Mom in her final years: Dr. John Kiskis who was her loyal doctor for over 40 years, the friendly staff at the Arnprior Villa where Mom resided for the past four years, and the compassionate staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital who provided Mom with palliative care. Mom most certainly would have approved of her upbeat and positive funeral service at St. Andrew’s United in Pakenham, which was her church for over 72 years. The joyous musical tribute celebrated a life well lived. Pianist barb Armstrong accompanied the impressive local choir in an outstanding performance. Ollie’s grandson Jason Finner delivered a delightful eulogy touching on many meaningful memories. Beth Portt (nee Machan) from “Cashmere and Rose” created a beautiful flower arrangement for the funeral with additional flowers supplied by Marilyn Snedden for the church. C.R. Gamble Funeral Home provided their expertise, going above and beyond to ensure that all the key details were handled with care. Also thanks to Sharleen Duncan and the volunteer staff at St. Andrew’s, who served a delicious luncheon after the service. A very special thank you goes to Reverend Heather Kincaid, whose loving friendship with Mom shone through in her sincere funeral service. her sense of humour, pronounced spirituality, strong faith, and wise words were appreciated by all. It was a perfect day. Carolyn Finner, Bev O’Callaghan, Donna Grose, and Cal Ziebarth

The family of the late Valma Bolger would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to relatives, friends and neighbours for messages of sympathy, flora tributes, food, cards and charitable donations in memory of our dear and cherished Mother. Special thanks to Reverend Bennett for his many acts of kindness and words of comfort, which helped us cope with our great loss. A big thank you to Barry Munro and Judy Moffatt for singing at our Mother’s funeral service. it made such a positive difference to our day and was very moving. To Reg and Josh Gamble and the staff of C.R. Gamble Funeral Home for the professionalism and kindness to us. Special thanks to the pallbearers and all family and friends for their tremendous support during this difficult time. A sincere thank you to the management, nurses, staff and volunteers at Fairview Manor for their compassion and for taking excellent care of our Mom. Valma considered her family and friends to be the most treasured part of her life. She will be missed dearly by all of those who knew her. With many thanks, Brian, Judy Connie and families.
