Local veterinary clinic closes after 20 years Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

Beckwith Animal Hospital in Carleton Place has closed its doors for business, after serving the community for 20 years.

In a communiqué to customers, Dr. Lisa Ashdown stated, “It is with very heavy hearts we are writing to inform you Beckwith Animal Hospital is unfortunately going out of business, effective Aug. 21.”

The veterinary clinic, located at 355 Franktown Rd., had to close due to financial reasons, Ashdown told the Canadian Gazette

on Friday, Sept. 2.

In addition to the veterinarian, Beckwith Animal Hospital employed two registered veterinary technicians: Andrea Waite-Igarik and Stacey Barnes.

“All three of us staff members will eventually be moving onto new jobs – likely still in the Ottawa region,” Ashdown said.

So what about Beckwith Animal Hospital’s three resident cats: Stella, Charlotte and Toby?

“They are currently living with me,” Ashdown said.

“However, we are looking for a forever home for Toby.”

“All cats are settling in well and enjoying retirement,” she added.

Although the closure has left pet owners scrambling to find another veterinarian, Ashdown noted, “There are a number of wonderful clinics in and around Carleton Place.”

Before a new primary care clinic is in place, should customers be in need of medical attention for their pet, Beckwith Animal Hospital recommends calling the Ottawa Veterinary Hospital at 613-729-6139 or the Alta Vista Animal Hospital.

Both facilities are located in Ottawa and offer services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in addition to general practice.

Customers can contact Ashdown at beckwithahrecords@gmail.com to have their pet’s health record transferred to a new caregiver. Simply include the animal’s name and the desired clinic.

“There is no deadline on this transfer,” she said, “and it is very important to all of us that our patients receive appropriate continuation of care.”

Beckwith Animal Hospital thanks its clients.

“Our success over the previous years has been largely due to our amazing clients and patients,” Ashdown said. “We have tried hard to make each one of See CLOSED page A/CP2

Lanark County construction projects come in $320,000 under budget Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

Extra funds leftover from the 2016 Lanark County construction projects means additional work can be done this year.

Terry McCann, the county’s director of public works, provided the good news to county councillors during the Aug. 31 public works committee meeting.

He noted that all budgeted projects for the year have been completed, which included bridge work on the George Street bridge in Lanark; the replacement of a box culvert on Highway 511, relining of three large steel culverts on County Road 10 between Perth and Franktown at Coburn Creek; and Andrewsville Bridge upgrades.

“We did Andrewsville Bridge stringer repairs on the north end of the bridge and repaired some of the running boards on the top of the Andrewsville Bridge,” McCann explained. “We don’t have any overruns, all came in within a couple per cent of the budget. So, you don’t lose money on every bridge job.”

Several road rehabilitations were also finished: County roads 1, 6, 19, 24 and 36; and surface treatment overlays were put on County roads 8 and 16. Microsurfacing was also completed on County roads 8, 9, 19 and 24. After all is said and done, McCann said there are leftover funds in the budget for public works capital projects.

“Basically what we have, after construction, we have approximately $320,000 leftover from the capital budget,” he remarked. “Good tender prices and favourable asphalt and fuel index prices have been the largest contributors of that.”

McCann suggested to county councillors that $250,000 of those funds be spent on additional projects and outlined a series of options for them to consider, beginning with a micro scratch coat on Highway 43 between Perth and Port Elmsley for $210,000 and $40,000 to replace culverts on a various county roads.

“It would be a micro-scratch coat or base coat for micro (on Highway 43),” he said. “We’re planning on doing it from Perth to Smiths Falls next year but the portion from Perth to Port Elmsley is

starting to get a little bit questionable, where the cracks are and it’s starting to open up a bit. We do have a micro contract that could possibly be extended and also we would do some culvert replacements.”

The second option is strictly the replacement of 18 to 20 culverts on county roads for $250,000. “We went through the list and we still have 50 culverts that are in the one to five year range that are supposed to be replaced,” McCann noted. “We’ve been doing about $250,000 to $260,000 a year and we still have 50 to go. That’s another option.”

The third suggestion would see the repaving of 2.5-kilometres of County Road 23 from Highway 43 to Guthrie Road with paved shoulders for $250,000 as well, while the last option proposes removing the rock and ditching on County Road 6, east of Hanna Road for $100,000, eight culvert replacements on county roads for $100,000, and three cable guide rail replacements on County roads 16 and 511 for $50,000.

“We would do some equipment reno work on County Road 6 ahead of next year’s job, which we are not chewing up the pavement in that location,” McCann stated.

County Coun. Aubrey Churchill (Drummond/North Elmsley reeve) said that options were appreciated “but the question I have is, what is your main option? What do you think should be done?”

McCann indicated that his preferred option would be the first one, “because we’re a little bit worried about the surface of Highway 43 over the winter. It’s getting worse and we’ll have to spend a little extra money doing repairs prior to micro next year.”

Councillors endorsed the first option, which was formally approved during the Sept. 7 council meeting. Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor) asked McCann to explain the microsurfacing process.

“It’s the same thing that’s on County Road 29, right from one end to the other, so it’s a natural-based project that is basically mixed with stone dust so that it flows over the road and then it hardens up quickly,” he explained, adding one of the benefits is the material fills cracks and holes. “That keeps the water out and it’s a lot cheaper than obviously hot mix asphalt is.”

McCann said Highway 43 would require two lifts of micro-surfacing. The portion from Perth to Port Elmsley would get one lift this year and then another would be done next year and work would continue to Smiths Falls. He indicated it was last re-surfaced eight years ago, but the section from Smiths Falls to Port Elmsley had crack sealing prior to the micro-surface treatment, but from Port Elmsley to Perth did not.

“And you can sort of see the results,” he commented. “The other thing is, they say micro is only supposed to be good

County paramedic station in Montague nearing completion Ashley Kulp

The new paramedic station will replace the current one on Maple Avenue in Smiths Falls, which the county has leased for nearly 40 years. The lease of the new building between the county and Guy Saumure & Sons is for a period of 20 years, with options to extend it. The province is funding 50 per cent of the total lease and operating costs.

The finishing touches are being put on Lanark County’s new ambulance base in Montague.

County councillors were given an update on its progress during the Aug. 31 public works committee meeting

by Coun. Klaas Van Der Meer (Montague deputy reeve) and public works committee chair. Guy Saumure & Sons Construction Ltd. won the contract for the design/build-to-suit lease of the paramedic station back in the winter. Work began on the approximately $2.46 million project, located at the corner of Lorne Street and Rideau Avenue, back in April. Designed by Eastern Engineering, it includes four drive-through bays, including a decontamination area, a large meeting room, kitchenette, as well as lockers for paramedics and crew.

Van Der Meer received an email from Chris Saumure of Guy Saumure & Sons indicated the station “is progressing well.”

“The administration area is currently being painted and they’re getting ready to finish the bays,” he stated.

Recently, Van Der Meer, along with Coun. John Hall and warden Gail Code, all members of the paramedic station’s building committee, had a

According to contractor Chris Saumure of Guy Saumure & Sons Ltd., the building will be completed by Oct. 1. meeting at the station to talk about furniture layout. Paramedics also tested out the drive-through bays.

“They tested it to see and it all worked out just fine,” Van Der Meer stated. “So, the building is perfectly suited.”

Construction is on track to be completed by Oct. 1, he said. “Asphalt should be going down the second week of September, the landscaping will then follow,” he commented. “The largest outstanding items are a diesel

generator that’s scheduled to be installed in September and the building will be completed by Oct. 1.”

Saumure & Sons will then turn the building over to Lanark County Nov. 1 with a phased move-in planned throughout the month of November.

The lease terms will commence Nov. 1 as well.

Van Der Meer also showed a photo slideshow of the progress to councillors. “As you can see, it’s a beautiful building, for all of you who haven’t

had the chance to go by it,” he remarked. “I go by it lots because it’s right where I work and live. They’ve done an excellent job that I can see.

Gail and I were very impressed and I’m sure Coun. Hall was impressed as well. They’re (Saumure & Sons) very much on top of it. The ambulance people were very impressed and very excited and just can’t wait to get moved into their new home.”

“It’s a very positive thing,” Van Der Meer added.

Ontario’s Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, centre, in blue, helps Premier Kathleen Wynne introduce her newly shuffled cabinet on June 13, 2016 on the stairs at Queen’s Park in Toronto. However, 16 of those ministers, who appeared at the AMO conference in Windsor in mid-August, did not get good performance reviews during a bear-pit session.

Perth politicians find agreement on lacklustre Ontario cabinet performance Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Politicians from Perth town council’s left-wing and rightwing flanks were not impressed with what they heard last month from the Ontario cabinet.

Both fiscal hawk Coun. Jim Boldt, and Mayor John Fenik, a former federal Liberal turned New Democratic Party candidate, attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual convention in Windsor from Aug. 14 to 16.

While the convention heard from Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, Progressive Conservative opposition leader Patrick Brown, and New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath, Boldt told Perth town council on Aug. 30 that when it came to the “bear-pit session,” involving 16 of Wynne’s cabinet ministers, “a lot of the answers… were not great answers.”

Some of this he charitably chalked up to the June 13 cabinet shuffle, which meant that some ministers had only been on the job – or in cabinet itself – for two months. A common answer Boldt heard was, “I haven’t been on the job for that long.”

While the answers were short on detail for Boldt, the questions were heavy. “There is a lot of concern in the province about the cost of electricity, and where it is going, health care, and policing costs,” he said. “Going forward, I hope that the province will listen.”

Fenik, who attended the same session, said, “I agree with Coun. Boldt. The politicians up on stage said very little… (They had) a great way of speaking very eloquently and

saying nothing.”

For Fenik, the numbers that the Ontario government has to work with are not encouraging.

Fenik reported to council that Ontario faces police and fire settlements totalling $485 million, which could have paved 1,750 km of road. About $900 million alone is needed to repair social housing stock. A projected shortfall in government transfers could see property taxes rise significantly in the next nine years. By way of example, Fenik said that a property owner paying $3,000 in property taxes in 2016 could be paying as much as $6,690 in property taxes by 2025 if the fiscal situation – which sees Ontario with the world’s largest sub-sovereign debt at about $350 billion – is not rectified.

Municipalities may need to start looking at sharing services, seeking increased transfers, and fixing the arbitration system.

“Arbitrators seem to side with unions,” said Fenik. “It was really frustrating,” he said, adding that the Ontario Liberals did not seem to desire any changes to the arbitration system. Fenik surmised that this may be because the Liberals’ war chest is partially filled by lawyers, and the arbitration field, for “lawyers, that’s their bread-and-butter.”

During the conference, municipal leaders heard about communities that were excelling, those maintaining the status quo, and those on the decline. Those on the decline faced similar challenges – little reserves, high debt levels, and high infrastructure needs, as well as low and/or declining population levels. Fenik said that Perth does not fit the

definition of a declining community, with healthy reserves, declining debt, and population levels that are somewhat static, but not declining significantly.

“It’s the accumulation of debt that will result in some serious stuff,” said Fenik.

Fenik took the opportunity to network at the conference, working both hard and soft power. The soft power came when he compared baby pictures with Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, but the hard power came that Tuesday morning, when Fenik called Naqvi’s office to inquire about the vacant position on the Perth police services board. (Unofficially, this newspaper has gleaned that the appointment candidate is Eric Halpin, president and board chair of the Perth Cemetery Company.)

“They are taking way too long,” said Fenik.

Boldt was also busy networking in Windsor, meeting with Andrew Bowles, manger of government affairs at 3M Canada, about a new initiative the company is planning for its Perth plant.

“It could generate more income for us and the province,” said Boldt. “It was an interesting meeting.”

While the two men agreed on the cabinet’s performance, the two men – on a lighter note – took different paths to reach Windsor. Boldt chose to fly to south-western Ontario, via Billy Bishop Airport on Toronto Island.

He called it a “horrendous trip down,” and he said he is now familiar with “every inch” of Billy Bishop Airport. Fenik, however, chose to travel by train – and ended up beating Boldt to Windsor.

Push For Change initiative coming to Lanark County Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 From Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, Joe Roberts will be pushing a shopping cart through Lanark County and Smiths Falls to raise awareness and help end youth homelessness.

His journey for this national trek started May 1, 2016 in St. John’s Newfoundland and will end September 30, 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

During this 9,000 km and 17-month trip, Roberts will be making hundreds of stops to get involved with local community events across the country.

The Push for Change, partnering together with Raise the Roof Canada and The National Coalition to End Youth Homelessness, are working to build a prevention framework called “The Upstream Project.”

The Push for Change will share funds raised while in Lanark County and Smiths Falls between The Upstream Project and United Way Lanark County, who will distribute the funds to agencies serving homeless youth.

Locally, partners are working on hosting a number of events over Roberts’ four-day stay to highlight the need to end youth homeless within Lanark

County and Smiths Falls.

The Push For Change team will be in Carleton Place on Friday, Sept. 30, in Perth on Saturday, Oct. 1, and Smiths Falls on Monday, Oct. 3. To welcome Roberts to Lanark County, Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. is holding a barbecue on Friday, Sept. 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their dealership on McNeely Avenue.

Watch for further details in the coming weeks.

Why youth homelessness?

Roberts experienced homelessness himself at a young age, and transformed his difficult life to become a successful businessman and entrepreneur. He has personally experienced the power of possibility thinking in the face of some of life’s biggest obstacles, and he is dedicated to sharing this possibility mindset with others who are going through their own challenges.

We know the key to ending homelessness is in prevention, combined with emergency services and sustainable housing. Often we overlook the issue of prevention, but it’s the best hope for helping young people to transition safely into adult hood. It is also

A study completed a year ago by the Algonquin College Applied Research & Innovation Centre estimated that 45 youth are homeless in Lanark County and Smiths Falls during a given year. However, this estimate has been proven to be low. In the first seven months of 2016, 60+ youth have contacted the Homeless Intervention and Prevention Case Managers in our commu-

County committee endorses 54-unit mobile home park for Drummond/North Elmsley Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

A 54-unit mobile home park in Drummond/North Elmsley is closer to realization after Lanark County’s economic development committee endorsed the concept Aug. 31.

The committee approved the amendment to Drummond/North Elmsley’s Official Plan to re-designate a 7.3 hectare portion of land to allow for the development, known as Lakeridge Adult Lifestyle Community, at 949 Drummond Concession 7.

The application was reviewed on behalf of the county by Stantec Consulting’s senior project manager David Krajaefski, who made a presentation to the committee Aug. 31. He said while the entire property is 12.5 hectares, only a parcel is being re-designated.

“The site is occupied by a single detached dwelling and across the road from the site are two mobile home parks,” he explained, adding that the current zoning allows for up to nine units on the site. “...The Drummond/ North Elmsley Official Plan has requirements for mobile

home parks that are being met in the proposal. For example, the site has frontage and access to a public road (Drummond Concession 7) that’s being maintained year-round. Internal roads will be constructed to township standards.”

Each unit will encompass roughly a third of an acre and when evaluating the proposal under the Provincial Policy Statement, Krajaefski said it is an “efficient use of land, as the parcels are relatively small for a rural-scale development and it does meet the official Plan’s good use of land services.”

“It also avoids natural resource lands,” he continued.

“There is a wetland area I believe on part of the property, but none of that land is within the development.

And it does provide another type of housing within the township.”

Public consultation was held through an information session May 31 and a formal meeting June 21 during a Drummond/North Elmsley council session.

It was adopted June 28 by council and forwarded to the county for approval in July.

“Our recommendation

is that the amendment be approved,” Krajaefski said.

Coun. Bill Dobson (Montague reeve) wondered how properties were assessed in mobile home parks.

“I have no problems and I totally agree with the request,” he noted. “...does MPAC (Munici-

pal Property Assessment Corporation) use the same criteria when they’re assessing a mobile home and parks as they do for regular residential? I wondered if there’s a different tax system for mobile home parks.” “...The only reason I ask is that I understand a lot of mobile

homes that rent out by the year, I understand that some of them have doubled in the last couple of years in rent,” he continued.

“The rental income is huge and I guess I was just thinking about taxes.” Each unit will be assessed separately but there will be one tax bill. Coun. Jane Torrance

COMMENTARY

W

A case of sticker shock

e knew it was coming, but seeing it in black and white – and red – brought home the reality of the situation. At the top of a vehicle sticker renewal application from Service Ontario are the words “Important: Fees are increasing.”

The form indicates the current fee of $108 will be replaced by a new fee of $120 effective Sept. 1. Those fortunate enough to receive their renewals ahead of the deadline could purchase them for the lower fee. Timing is everything!

The few days leading up the change saw line-ups out the door at the Smiths Falls Service Ontario location. Everyone had the same idea!

This year’s 11 per-cent increase in the price of a sticker follows the almost 10-per-cent rise in 2015. The fee was $74 just over five years ago; that makes for an overall increase of about 62 per cent. As we noted last year, most people would probably be somewhat accepting of modest increases in

government-related fees or taxes if the benefits of that additional money are apparent or can be understood by the public.

We don’t dispute the claim that more money is needed to maintain roads and bridges in Ontario and that more money is being allocated for those purposes, but 62 per cent in five years borders on excessive. Just because an extra $12 a year is such a tiny fraction of the cost of keeping a vehicle on the road, doesn’t mean that motorists should just accept the constant increases in sticker renewal fees.

Most of us are willing to pay our fair share, and we hope that additional revenue from sticker fees will somehow benefit motorists. Or it will just get deposited into general accounts, and any added value will be difficult to identify.

With the current state of electricity rates and the implementation of capand-trade, the extra $12 a year could end up seeming like a bargain.

Mary and her sister share daydreams under sunny skies The hot sun was beating down on my sister Audrey and me. We were on our backs in the long grass watching the soft white clouds form and reform in the mostly blue sky above. It was a favourite pastime for me. Not so much for Audrey, who went along with it because she knew how much I liked to pretend the clouds were little dogs, someone with long flowing white hair, or any number of things I could muster up in my young imagination.

But that day was different.

Audrey talked to me just as if I was her best friend Iva. Rarely did my older sister ever include me in serious chat. After all she was years older than I was. But that afternoon, it was like she had to get off her mind what she

was thinking about. “I wish I could see the future,” she said softly. I knew there was more to come. “I would like to know what I will be doing when I am finished at the Northcote School.”

I looked over at her face.

Her eyes were closed. She wasn’t looking at the clouds above us. “I really want to be a nurse. Or a teacher.” I knew she would make a wonderful teacher. Didn’t she spend hours with me showing me how to knit, embroider, print in my scribbler, and go over my spelling? And as far as being a nurse was concerned, I didn’t know one living soul in all of Renfrew County who had a kinder heart. She would make a wonderful nurse.

Mailings could have been handled differently: Reader DEAR EDITOR:

Recently there were two four colour personalised mailings distributed by Hydro One regarding energy consumption by each household and how same compared to the most efficient in the neighbourhood and the neighbourhood in general. While this is somewhat useful data, it strikes me as an extravagant waste of resources, both financial and time (that is also costly).

Based on information on the Hydro One website, there are 1.4 million households (Cumulative Smart Meters deployed: Over 1.4 million. – http:// www.hydroone.com/ourcompany/pages/quickfacts.aspx.)

If the cost of postage is assumed to be $1, then the cost of this information is $2.8 million, excluding the cost of paper, envelopes, printing and extracting the data and personalising the mailing -- this from a company that claims the results of energy consumption are a cause of increased rates.

Three confirmed cases of measles in Lanark County, Ottawa Ottawa Public Health (OPH) and Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit (LGL) are investigating three related cases of measles in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals who have not received all of their required measles vaccines. The health units are working closely with local health care providers, hospitals, and the province to contact individuals and families who may have been exposed to the infectious cases.

The risk of contracting measles in Ottawa and Lanark County is low for those who have been vaccinated; however, given that measles is highly contagious, it is very important that you ensure your measles immunization is up-to-date.

Please remember to report to public health every time your child is vaccinated.

“Well, what about being a nurse? Now, it’s the last thing I would want to be. I hate blood!

But, Audrey, you would make a wonderful nurse.” She opened her eyes and looked at the soft white clouds moving in the sky, and I was pretty sure I could see that she was trying awfully hard not to cry. Why she would be feeling so sad on such a beautiful day was beyond me!

“No, that will never happen,” she said, in a voice so low I could hardly hear her. I wanted to know why. After all, she was smart and I thought she could

It is possible that members of the public were exposed to measles at the times and places listed below. People who have not previously had measles or have not been fully vaccinated, and who might have been exposed in these areas are asked to: Watch for any signs and symptoms of measles Avoid contact with individuals who are at high risk for complications of measles (infants less than 12 months of age, pregnant women, and people with weak immune systems) for 21 days after exposure date

Possible exposure locations and dates/times:

be anything she wanted to be, and if she wanted to be either a nurse or a teacher, all she would have to do, is go out and do it.

So I asked her why. What would stop her from being either?

“Because there is no money.

It costs money to be a nurse, and we could never afford to send me to Teacher’s College.

No, I’m afraid I’ll never be either.” Now, there really were tears. Just gently rolling down her cheeks and into her hair.

I knew if I reached out and touched her, it would cause a flood, so I stayed perfectly still and waited for Audrey to say something else. Finally, there

was a big sigh, and she brushed the back of her hand across her eyes. And she pointed to a huge white cloud above us, and said she thought it looked like someone riding a horse. I couldn’t see anything that resembled a horse, but I said nothing. Audrey had returned, and that was all that mattered.

But long after we got up and went to do chores, I thought about what Audrey had said.

Would that be my fate too? Was I destined to live out my life on a farm out in the country? And would my sister end up like so many other young girls who finished public school, working

County’s economic development committee endorses forest conservation bylaw After a round of public consultation and two drafts, Lanark County’s new forest conservation bylaw is ready to be enacted.

The county’s facilities co-ordinator Jonathan Allen provided a report to county councillors at the economic development committee meeting Aug. 31. The bylaw was endorsed by the committee and formally adopted at the Sept. 7 county council meeting.

At the Aug. 31 session, Allen indicated a second draft of the bylaw was ready for review after acquiring comments from the public back in April at a public information centre.

“It (information session) was attended by 37 people and we received 19 comments,” he said. “We then, un-

der the director of (Coun.) Richard Kidd, we emailed that draft back out to everybody that was at the public information centre and to all forest harvesters in Lanark County.”

Since no comments were received back regarding the second draft, “right now, we have draft number and we are recommending it,” Allen said.

The forest conservation bylaw is being created to promote good forestry practices and prevent clear cutting. According to the document, it will also work towards “regulating and controlling the removal, maintenance and protection of trees and woodlands,” as well as “protecting, promoting and enhancing all values of woodlands, biodiversity, wildlife

habitat and ecosystem services.”

It will apply only if good forestry practices aren’t being followed during tree harvesting. “if good forestry practices are not followed, then this bylaw applies to all tree harvesting of forest products for sale, own use or land use conversations, in woodlands over two hectares, per roll number, within Lanark County,” the bylaw states. “...If it’s (bylaw) recommended for adoption, staff will compile a list of qualified bylaw officers to have on hand should we ever reach section 10.4 of the enforcement clause,” Allen noted.

The enforcement clause deals with access to property and if a landowner doesn’t permit the county on their

land, they will retain a bylaw officer to investigate the situation. Allen said the enforcement clause required some changes after the first draft.

“This was one of the high items,” the public was concerned about, he said. “It states that the homeowner is not imposed upon. They grant people permission to enter their property, you just don’t enter their property.”

“And, as it escalates and it does seem like we might need something against the bylaw, then it would go to bylaw officers and then to the OPP, if needed,” Allen continued.

The penalties for those who contravene the bylaw are as follows: a fine of not more than $10,000 on first conviction and a fine of not more than

$25,000 for subsequent convictions.

“The bylaw reads well now...when you go through it, it’s pretty straightforward,” he commented. “It’s really looking at unnecessary clear cutting in the county.”

Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor), also the economic development committee chair, said council should be close to making a decision.

“I think we’ve heard this before.

We’ve heard what the original proposal was, we’ve heard what the shortcomings were, we’ve heard the report a few times on how the progress is, so I think we should be, at this point, ready

Damsels and dragonflies kick off new season of MVFN natural history lectures On Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m., the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will begin a new season of natural history lectures relating to the theme “Wild Creature Close-Ups.” This event will take place in the social hall of Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Almonte.

The guest speaker for the evening is provincial arthropod zoologist and lifelong naturalist, Colin Jones. His presentation is entitled “Dragonflies and Damselflies of Ontario.”

Have you ever wandered along a path skirting a wetland or enjoyed a relaxing stroll along a riverbank or lakeside beach and felt yourself entering a special place? You hear the sounds of water, the songs of birds, and the rustling of leaves. And then, as you relax further and ponder your surroundings, your attention is drawn to the sunlight glistening off the wings of a beautiful dragonfly or damselfly, silently skimming the surface of the water.

Jones will allow us to enter the mystical world of these enchanting creatures, and will enable us to distinguish between the two.

Dragonflies and damselflies are two related suborders that make up the insect order Odonata.

Although similar in many ways, there are subtle differences. We will be introduced to such fascinating individuals as the Ebony Jewelwing and the Stygian Shadowdragon. These insects are not only an important part of our ecosystem, but are exciting to watch and become familiar with.

Jones’ presentation will include photographs and discussion that will outline the life cycles, conservation, and habitats of the dragonflies and damselflies of Ontario.

Jones is the provincial arthropod zoologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre, which is located in Peterborough and is under the auspices of Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The centre staff members conduct research and surveys in the field for priority species and areas across Ontario. The centre collects, reviews, manages and distributes information for species of conservation concern, rare and exemplary plant communities, wildlife concentration areas, and

natural areas.

In his career, Jones deals primarily with rare species. His interest in the natural world first focused on birds and birding but gradually he expanded his horizons to include many other studies in nature. Over the past 25 years, he has become more involved in the study of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies). He is co-ordinator of the Ontario Odonata Atlas project and is the co-author of A Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Algonquin Provincial Park and Surrounding Area, now in its second edition.

Please join us for this interesting and informative presentation. Refreshments and discussion will follow the talk. There is a non-member fee of $5 (no charge for youth under 18 years).

Jones will bring along copies of the field guide described above as well as The ROM Field Guide to the Butterflies of Ontario, which he co-authored. These books sell for $25 each.

For further information, please contact MVFN’s program chair Gretta Bradley at (glbradley@icloud.com).

Walk on the wild side with Michael Runtz Sept. 18 near Pakenham If walking in the woods isn’t something that you would ordinarily enjoy doing on your own, then there couldn’t be a better opportunity than following the lead of Michael Runtz. You’ll have that opportunity on Sunday, Sept. 18 at High Lonesome Nature Reserve near Pakenham.

Runtz has a real talent for making nature more accessible to just about anyone, from the avid naturalist to the person who can’t tell a groundhog from a badger. Runtz’s dynamic, story-telling style, laced with humour, can turn a simple walk in the woods into an amazing adventure in the wild. His enthusiastic style has won him numerous teaching awards and record enrolments at Carleton University where he teaches natural history. He has published 11 books, adorned with the stunning photographs from his adventures.

High Lonesome Nature Reserve has been a favourite spot of Runtz’s for years, before it was donated to

Author and naturalist Michael Runtz will be leading a walk through the High Lonesome Nature Reserve near Pakenham Sunday, Sept. 18. The walk is being offered through the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust.

Soaring hydro costs driving families into poverty When people ask if you are “into green energy” it is nice to be able to hold up your hand.

I have no issues with working to eliminate coal-fired electrical generation or reducing our dependency on nuclear energy which, despite a record of success, still scares many of us.

Going green is fine. But not at any price! And right now Ontario is in the midst of a growing electricity crisis. We have the power, that’s not the issue. The problem is the soaring cost of delivering electricity to customers, especially those who are unfortunate enough to live in lightly populated, rural areas.

The Liberal government of Premier Kathleen Wynne refuses to term the current situation “a crisis.” But for thousands of rural Ontarians who are struggling to pay their electricity bills it is a catastrophe.

Some of the tales of woe we’re hearing on a daily basis are truly pitiable.

Three weeks ago I read about a man in Bruce County, near Lake Huron, who after suffering a serious heart attack told family and friends it would be better if he died instead of surviving.

His reasoning is that the medical equipment he is now required to use regularly runs on electricity. It is driving up his family’s already ridiculous hydro bill.

The man’s family have turned to social agencies, including the United Way of Bruce County, in an effort to find the funds to meet their financial commitment.

Ironically Bruce County is home to one of Ontario’s largest power generating facilities.

The Bruce Power nuclear generating station provides more than 30 per cent of this province’s electricity. But in these circumstances the Bruce plant does little to reduce the cost of power for nearby residents.

Instead they are forced to pay high delivery charges to Hydro One to cover the cost of transporting electricity to their rural community. That despite the fact some are living in the shadow of the biggest power generating facility in the province.

The reality is that cutting electricity usage isn’t the answer. Ontarians are regularly bombarded with advertising urging us to reduce our energy consumption. Smart meters were introduced in a further effort to make us reconsider our primetime use of hydro and instead wash our clothes or run the dishwasher during off peak hours.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Clearly that’s a smoke screen. Because no matter how much people in rural Ontario cut their energy consumption – many have resorted to living in only two or three rooms in their homes – their hydro bills continue to soar. On top of that they are threatened with disconnection if they don’t pay these ridiculously high amounts.

Yes, if you are one of the growing numbers of people in this province who are struggling to pay their electrical bills this is definitely a crisis.

Still, despite the growing mountain of evidence that thousands can’t pay skyrocketing electricity bills, recently installed provincial Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault and his fellow ministers have failed to properly respond to public pleas.

Few answers I enjoy watching Global TV Toronto and they’ve done a very good job of pursuing this important subject, pointing out the obvious and also delving into some of the sad individual stories involved.

Admittedly Thibeault has inherited the worst job in cabinet. He did agree to an interview with Global in July which I watched with interest. However he leaned very heavily on the “I just inherited the file and I’m not up to speed” excuse which, at that time, was reasonable I suppose. But why agree to an interview when you can’t provide any answers?

Global TV recently revealed the findings of an in-depth investigation they conducted with respect to high electricity bills. A month after telling the network he didn’t yet have answers to the questions posed, Thibeault refused a request for a follow-up interview.

Surely after a month the minister would have brought himself up to speed? What better opportunity to boost his government’s sagging fortunes then by providing some answers to the mounting questions about this alarming situation?

The obvious lack of any accountability doesn’t give me much faith in the Wynne government who have yet to demonstrate a solid commitment to finding ways to stem rising

electricity costs.

On the other hand they are quick to financially back green initiatives such as wind and solar despite the fact those installations cost a massive amount of money to install while generating a paltry return on investment. They simply don’t add enough electricity to the grid to make them practical. Not at this stage.

We all know what a mess the previous McGuinty government made of the plan to introduce gas-fired power to Ontario. Yet to me that is still an option worth pursuing. Gasfired plants are providing lots of electricity south of the border. For example the glitzy and impressive ‘Strip’ in Las Vegas is heavily fed by power generated using natural gas. In the case of Nevada my information is that the plants themselves are located in desert areas, away from heavily populated centres such as Vegas and Reno.

In Ontario wind turbines and solar panels are popping up in people’s backyards and many of those affected are angry. That is especially true relative to turbines which many communities are fighting furiously due to fears the giant towers contribute to human health problems. In some cases turbines have been installed willy-nilly with little thought for their impact on the landscape or nearby residents.

All this in the cause of promoting green energy which the government hopes will make them look modern and progressive. But at what cost to taxpayers?

Still, the matter at hand is high electricity bills and something dramatic clearly needs to be done to help rectify this.

Why, exactly, have delivery charges risen so sharply under the stewardship of this government?

Even a cursory look at the so-called “Sunshine List” issued to tell us who in government or government-related jobs are making more than $100,000 annually is revealing.

Hydro employees comprise a huge share of those at the very top of the list.

Management costs So, has high management costs related to operating Hydro One played a part in this? Looking at the combined cost of all those six-figure incomes makes it clear the price of running the organization has also skyrocketed.

The money has to come from

somewhere. It’s impossible not to believe that we, the public, are supporting this out of control system!

I have no problem with hydro employees making a decent wage.

But why so many on the sunshine list? Snowballing management costs have to be playing some part in all of this.

In Manitoba the average monthly bill for rural hydro users is $88.

Cross the border into Ontario and the average is fast approaching $300 a month.

While researching this column I was given access to the bills of friends who live in rural Lanark County. The July electrical bill for one couple was $319.48. They have no family at home and due to the rising cost of hydro they rarely use their central air conditioning in summer. Yet their bill continues to rise.

Another couple we know, who have two children at home, were also billed in excess of $300 in July.

And they live in a newer “energy

UNPLUG!

efficient home.”

By comparison our July bill here in Carleton Place was $167.96.

That despite the fact our hydro use was down three points from the same period last year.

I haven’t even touched on the worst examples. In some cases rural people are facing thousands of dollars in electrical costs and they simply don’t have the income to pay. The situation is so bad for some families that officials in some jurisdictions worry this is evolving from an affordability issue to one of public health and safety. For example, in the midst of the hottest summer in recent memory in Ontario many residents, including the elderly, couldn’t afford to run air conditioners that make the environment in their homes and apartments liveable.

There are even reports some people have suffered mental health breakdowns and sought treatment because they’re so stressed about out of control hydro bills.

Yes Madame Premier and Mr. Energy Minister, this is a full-

BYLAW

blown, four-alarm crisis for huge numbers of Ontarians!

At this point I believe the focus should shift from energy saving, which clearly isn’t the answer, to finding cheaper ways to produce and deliver electricity. Why not purchase more power from other jurisdictions if it is available at less cost?

Neighbouring Quebec doesn’t have the energy crisis Ontario does and it also has an abundance of power sources. This government also needs to cut soaring hydro management costs.

At present many people are being forced to curtail spending on other things that are vital for the mental and physical well-being of themselves and their children in favour of hoarding money to try and keep the hydro on.

That is simply unacceptable in a supposedly modern and progressive society!

to make a decision,” she said.

“That’s my thought.”

However, Coun. John Hall (Lanark Highlands councillor) noted there are still misunderstandings from the public surrounding the bylaw.

“Just this afternoon before I came in here, I had a chap at my place who cuts wood in the wintertime in Lanark Highlands and he said ‘I guess I’m going to have to put a mark on all my trees now before I cut them,’” he stated. “I understand Jonathan, that’s not correct at all. Nobody has to do that.

There still seems to be that misunderstanding out there.”

Hall suggested the county issue a press release once it is formally passed, but Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) believed that would complicate the issue.

“There’s no way you could explain this bylaw in a news release and I think you’d just create more misinformation because they’d (public) read it differently,” he pointed out.

Kidd said most of the commercial operations in Lanark County all operate within the guidelines of good forestry practices. “I think it’s (bylaw) there for solar farms, one of the ways we could control that,

In the average home, 75 per cent of the electricity used to power home electronics and appliances is consumed while the products are turned off. These “phantom energy” costs can be avoided by unplugging devices like cell phone chargers and househouse electrical appliances when they’re not in use.

one of the only ways, and the second thing is, if the market changes and we have commercial operations come in from outside of Lanark County, we have this then,” Kidd explained. “I don’t think we’ll ever hear about this again for quite a while unless the market changes, so I think if we just go ahead and pass it...that gossip will just go away and we’ll be fine.”

“I think it’s a good bylaw to have,” he continued. “It’s a tool to have if we have some bad operators come in here from out of province.”

Coun. John Fenik (Perth mayor) agreed with Kidd, but wanted to ensure the public had the proper contact information if they had questions. “For the sake of transparency...I agree, if you put a press release out there on any piece of policy that’s been developed, it can be misunderstood, but as long as people understand that they do have access to somebody if they do want to cut some trees down...” he stated.

Allen admitted there have been many rumours surrounding the bylaw and staff are working hard to clarify any concerns. “We want to attack it head on, put a phone number in there and if there are any questions, we’ll clear them up real quick,” he said. “That’s a good tactic.”

As more than 600,000 university and college students across the province go back to school, many students will be renting housing off-campus for the first time.

Ontario is reminding students about their rights and responsibilities as tenants. The province’s Residential Tenancies Act outlines landlord and tenant obligations for most residential properties in the province, and includes rules about how to terminate a lease, when rent can be increased, repairs to rental units, rent receipts and deposits, subletting, having pets and changing locks.

“Searching for housing offcampus can be daunting for students, especially those who are renting for the first time,” Housing Minister Chris Ballard stated in a release. “Knowing your rights and responsibilities as a tenant can make the process easier, protect you from rental disputes, and allow you to keep focused on what matters most – growing your talents and skills through postsecondary education.”

To help the rental experience go as smoothly as possible: • Be aware of rights and responsibilities as a tenant.

• Keep lines of communication open with the landlord to

minimize disagreements.

• Ask the landlord to agree to rental terms in writing.

• Always keep copies of documents that are provided to the landlord.

If unable to resolve a rental issue with the landlord, contact the Landlord and Tenant Board for more information.

If you are facing immediate, serious issues such as an illegal eviction or disconnection of vital services, you can also contact the ministry’s Rental Housing Enforcement Unit.

The act does not generally apply to students living in a university or college residence.

Provincial, federal governments attempt to improve access to affordable housing The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, minister of families, children and social development, and the Honourable Chris Ballard, Ontario’s minister of housing, have announced measures to give Canadians greater access to more affordable housing, including the doubling of current funding under the Investment in Affordable Housing initiative, supporting affordable housing for seniors, building and renovating shelters and transition houses for victims of family violence, and addressing repairs and improving energy and water efficiency of existing social housing.

Federal budget 2016 investments in affordable housing will provide targeted support to those who need it most, including in Ontario, and create jobs that help grow Canada’s

economy in a clean and sustainable way. The federal and provincial/territorial governments will work together to quickly deliver the new funding. Over the next two years, more than $640 million in new funding will be jointly invested in Ontario by the federal and provincial governments in various initiatives to support the housing needs of Ontarians.

Ontario is matching the federal government’s commitment to double the current funding under the Investment in Affordable Housing initiative. An additional $168 million in provincial funding will be available to build, renovate, and provide critical affordable housing across the province, notes a CMHC release.

“All Canadians need and deserve housing that is safe, adequate and affordable. Through

new investments in housing, the Government is helping to strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life for Canadians, providing better places to live and grow,” stated Duclos, minister responsible for CMHC. “The partnership between Canada and Ontario to provide additional funding for affordable housing in Ontario gives life to our vision that every person has an affordable, suitable, and adequate home,” stated Ballard. “This will help provide the foundation to secure employment, raise a family, and build strong communities” Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has been helping Canadians meet their housing needs for more than 70 years.

CDSBEO hosts annual welcome back celebration Aug. 30 for staff The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) board meeting held Aug. 30 at the board office in Kemptville.

On Tuesday, Aug. 30, the CDSBEO hosted its annual Welcome Back Mass.

The event was attended by CDSBEO educators, support staff, and administration. Mass was celebrated by Fr. John Whyte, board chaplin, and words of welcome were delivered by Board chair, Brent Laton, and director of education William J. Gartland.

New CDSBEO employees were also welcomed to the board during the Mass. Each received a special blessing, and an official board pin.

Growing Success: The Kindergarten Addendum The Ministry of Education has released the Addendum to Growing Success: Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting in Kindergarten on March 31. High quality and current research on new approached and pedagogies specific to the early years were utilized in this work to benchmark and compare our Ontario program with that of other national and international jurisdictions.

Carrie Seguin, curriculum consultant, presented highlights from the new addendum, including how assessment and evaluation will be framed in the evidence-based process of pedagogical documentation.

“Assessment, evaluation, and reporting that reflects the seven fundamental principles can have a positive and profound impact on children’s learning, as well as their motivation to learn and their confidence in their ability to do so,” noted Seguin.

“Children in kindergarten need to be supported to develop a strong ability to set goals, monitor their own progress, determine next steps and reflect on their thinking and learning.”

Kindergarten educators are emphatically encouraged to engage in the process of pedagogical documentation to assess and evaluate the learning and thinking for their students.

Through this process, teachers will gather, document, and analyze, in collaboration with the child, other educators, and parents, a wide range of evidence of the child’s thinking and learning. This will help to support and extend the child’s learning on the basis of insight.

Noticing and naming the learning process helps students to identify and name descriptively what they are learning. Children who are consistently provided the opportunity to participate in “noticing and naming the learning,” and who experience descriptive feedback regularly have an increased chance to demonstrate growth in learning.

“The documented learning is then assessed through 31 overall expectations, which are aligned in four frames: Belonging and Contributing, Self-Regulation and Well-Being, Demonstrating Literacy and Mathemat-

ics Behaviours, and Problem Solving and Innovating. Parents are formally provided with information about their child’s strengths, and growth in learning, and planned next steps related to the overall expectations in each frame of the program, three times through the school year,” explained Seguin.

All of the new elements included in the addendum will be phased into CDSBEO kindergarten classrooms during the 2016-2017 school year.

Plant and maintenance projects 20152016 Over the course of the last 12 months, the CDSBEO plant and maintenance department has completed an extensive number of upgrades within schools and board facilities. Manager of plant and maintenance, Roger Cauley, presented to the board an overview of the considerable number of projects which have been completed in more than 46 facilities, including more than 5,200 work orders and 112 projects under School Renewal, School Condition Improvement, and Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA).

“It has been an extremely busy year for our department,” noted Cauley.

“We’ve completed several significant projects, and many other upgrades within board facilities.”

“With the new funding that was announced on July 12, the board received an additional $227,000 for school renewal, and just over $2 million for school condition improvement,” explained Cauley.

“These funds allowed for additional projects to be completed including air conditioning projects at two schools, painting at seven sites, flooring at two sites, and other miscellaneous projects at ten sites.”

Three schools received significant heating system replacements. At Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place a complete replacement of the heating and piping system was completed in the old wing, along with all associated electrical and structural work, and a new roof over a portion of the existing building.

At St. John Catholic High School in Perth, the heating system was replaced in the old wing (two levels), with the removal of the existing heat pumps.

These were replaced with new roof top units, a partial roof replacement, and new ceiling tiles in the upper and lower corridors.

St. John Elementary School in Perth also received a new roof top heating system, which replaced the older hot water system.

Various exterior renovations were completed at eight sites, and nine schools received interior renovations, including ODA compliant upgrades to washroom facilities. Twenty-seven schools underwent various painting projects, and 14 sites received new flooring, including a new rubber floor at Iona Academy in the gymnasium.

Additional projects were carried out under various government grants including: window coverings, instal-

lation of portable classrooms, electrical upgrades, renovations to secondary school hospitality suites, window replacements, upgrades to drinking water fill stations, sidewalk and paving

2016

upgrades, and playground improvements.

“Thank you for the opportunity to highlight our progress this summer,” Cauley concluded. “I am thrilled and

excited about the work we’ve completed, and I look forward to continuing to improve our facilities.”

Movies return to Station Theatre with Audrey Hepburn mini-festival Sept. 16-17 Movie Nights are back at the Station Theatre in September with two films from the repertoire of the great actress Audrey Hepburn. We traditionally launch our Movie Weekends in the fall with a mini film festival.

First it was two Hitchcock classics; last year we featured Stanley Kubrick.

On Friday, Sept. 16 we are screening the first of our Audrey Hepburn films, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. On Saturday, Sept. 17, the hit musical, Funny Face will play. Both films start at a new time for the 2016-17 season –7 p.m.

The names of Audrey Hepburn and Holly Golightly have become synonymous since Truman Capote’s dazzling romantic comedy was translated to the silver screen. Holly is a deliciously eccentric New York City playgirl determined to marry a Brazilian millionaire. George Peppard, a screen idol of the period, plays her next-door neighbour, a writer sponsored by a wealthy woman, Patricia Neal. Guessing who’s the right man for Holly is easy. Seeing just how that romance blossoms is one of the enduring delights of this screen gem which is set to dual Oscar winners: Henry Mancini’s score and the Mancini-Johnny Mercer song, Moon River.

Fred Astaire co-stars with Hep-

burn in Funny Face in a visually beautiful film publicized at the time as “glamour with Hepburn, dancing by Astaire, songs by Gershwin and fashion by Givenchy.� The story centres on a New York fashion photographer (Astaire) who accidentally photographs a shy bookstore employee (Jo Stockton played by Hepburn).

Believing that Jo has the potential to become a successful model, Astaire escorts her to Paris where he snaps more pictures of her against that iconic backdrop. In the process, they fall for one another, only to find hurdles in their way. The result: what the New York Times dubbed “a delightfully balmy romance.�

Please note that we have changed the start time of all our movies to 7 p.m., to coincide with the start times of Film Night International.

For our Station Theatre Movie Weekends there are no advance ticket sales; the doors open at 6:30 p.m. and tickets – $10 for adults, $5 for students – are sold for cash only at the door.

We remind patrons of our free Movie Nights Reward Card. When presented at the time of purchase of a ticket for a Station Theatre Movie Nights movie it will be stamped by the ticket seller. Reward cards apply

to Station Theatre movies only. Not for use with Film Night International and not redeemable for cash. There is no expiration date on the card; it can be used until the card is full, at which point the patron redeems the reward of one free movie.

The Smiths Falls Station Theatre – located at 53 Victoria Avenue, site of the former CPR station – is a great place to see movies as they were meant to be seen, on a big screen (ours is 14-feet wide) with big sound and in air-conditioned comfort.

We suggest you go to our website at www.smithsfallstheatre.com to keep up to date with our future presentations. Our next event in the Music Series features Campbell Woods – In Concert. He’s returning to Smiths Falls on Oct. 8 with songs from his latest album, Oxford Street. Campbell is a former Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute student now living in Halifax.

Then, from Oct. 14 to 23, we present Out of Sight...Out of Murder, a comedic mystery written by Fred Carmichael and directed by Katharine Coleman. Details of these shows as Desmond Devoy/Metroland well as our upcoming movies are on Maeve Hackett appears delighted with her progress during the chilour website.

Community Home Support aids people with Parkinson’s Disease through new program Don’t be surprised to hear some yelling if you drop by the Community Home Support Lanark County office in Perth on a Tuesday afternoon.

The Delay the Disease program is in session from 2 to 3 p.m. that day and incorporating voice projection during exercises is one component of the fitness program designed for those with Parkinson’s Disease (PD).

Pioneered in Ohio, this program differs from others for those suffering from Parkinson’s, according to lead instructor Nancy McFadyen of OT Ontario East in Smiths Falls, in that it targets specific PD symptoms.

These symptoms run the gamut from speech problems to impaired posture to a deterioration in hand writing to decreased movement, to list a few.

“It’s not just physical exercise,” McFadyen who has more than 30 years of experience as an occupational therapist (OT) says of the program. “It is cognitive multi-tasking.”

When people are diagnosed with PD, as she explains, between 70 and 75 per cent of the dopamine in their brains is depleted.

“It is a gradual decline,” McFadyen notes. “In the process, they are developing bad habits like poor posture, low voice and decreased movement.”

During the 12-week program, the focus is on getting them to change these habits. That is done through a variety of physical and cognitive exercises

Community Home Support Lanark County is offering a Delay the Disease fitness program designed for those with Parkinson’s Disease.

The program is held each Tuesday from 2 to 3 p.m. Above, Christine Luscombe-Mills, left, a retired occupational therapist and Delay the Disease instructor, Suzanne Bourbonnais, middle, client services manager with Community Home Support Lanark County, Perth office, and Ashley Pelton, registered occupational therapist and Delay the Disease instructor. that work towards retraining the body and mind. For example, one exercise involves participants holding weights, in which they bend down as far as they can and then stand up. In another, they walk between two lines taking big steps in the process and they are asked to count the steps.

“One of the things about Parkinson’s is that movements get smaller and

more restrictive,” Christine LuscombeMills, a retired OT who assists with the program, says in explaining the importance of the latter exercise. “Part of what we are doing is encouraging people to get in the habit of taking big steps to break the patterns of the small movements.”

This is the first time the Delay the Disease program has been offered in

Canada with McFadyen, along with Ashley Pelton, another occupational therapist on her staff, and LuscombeMills having already obtained their certification. Just this month two more people, Allie Palmar and Pam Watts have been certified to lead the program.

All exercises are modified according to a participant’s needs. “In this group, we can scale it up or scale it back,” McFadyen states, adding that the content changes slightly each week.

Cardiovascular exercise is a component of the Delay the Disease program.

“The brain is more receptive to change when the body is physically primed and activated by exercise,” says McFadyen.

“The exercises in the Delay the Disease program are directed at facilitating change utilizing the neuroplasticity of the brain.”

Pre and post-testing is done in the program to evaluate each participant’s level of functional improvement.

McFadyen is appreciative of Community Home Support for its support of Delay the Disease through providing the venue for the weekly sessions.

Likewise, Chartwell Willowdale Retirement Centre in Smiths Falls has offered space for the program on Fridays.

According to the results of a study conducted by the Department of Neurology and Center for Biostatistics at Ohio State University, in conjunction with Columbus Health Works, early participation in a group exercise pro-

gram with a format like Delay the Disease “had a significant effect on symptoms of depression” for those with Parkinson’s.

The cost for the program, which includes 12 one-hour sessions, is $449 per person. Anyone interesting in registering and/or receiving more information is encouraged to contact OT Ontario East at 613-283-2788 or email ot.nancy.mcfadyen@cogeco.ca.

Community Home Support Lanark County hosts a monthly support group for people living with Parkinson Disease and their care partners/family. The support group provides a safe, friendly environment in which to share experiences and knowledge with others living with Parkinson’s Disease. The support group meets the last Monday of the month at 1:30 p.m. at the Community Home Support Lanark County office at 40 Sunset Blvd in Perth. On Sept.

26, there will be a demonstration of a Delay the Disease class at the monthly support group. Audience members will have a chance to participate in the exercises. There is no sign-up required for participating or observing the demonstration. The support group will run as scheduled between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.

Light refreshments are served.

For more information regarding the monthly support group, please contact Melissa at 613-267-6400.

Final week for Classic Theatre Festival features dynamic duo As the final week of the Classic Theatre Festival production of An Inspector Calls comes to a close (the last show is on Sept. 11 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth), among those who have won critical kudos from the country’s top theatre reviewers are Anna Burkholder and Fraser Elsdon, who play a young couple about to be engaged as the gripping mystery thriller begins.

Burkholder and Elsdon are part of a new generation of Canadian talent who made their debuts at the Classic Theatre Festival this season in an edge-of-your-seat thriller in which a body has been found and everyone is a suspect.

Burkholder got her start on stage by auditioning for a fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She recalls being too scared and nervous to perform a monologue, so she tried out for a non-speaking forest creature with a movement-based audition. She was cast as Cobweb, “and I created a crazy spider walk for her. It was special because I realized I was able to create Cobweb however I wanted and I don’t think I’d experienced that type of freedom before.”

She trained in physical theatre at East 15 Acting School in England.

“The first several months we didn’t speak in our training. Silent play and listening to each other was a huge foundation of the training. It was a

Anna Burkholder and Fraser Elsdon are part of a new generation of talent making their debut at the Classic Theatre Festival’s production of the mystery thriller An Inspector Calls, playing until Sept. 11 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. Tickets are available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. powerful experience.”

Her first professional stage gig was a coming together of connections in British theatre’s royalty: the National

Theatre production of Timon of Athens on the Olivier Stage, where she recalls she “learned a lot, especially from watching the work of such gifted

actors. It was a great eye opener for me to see how a performance has the potential to be new each night. Unspoken games were played on stage

between actors and this kept things unbelievably free and spontaneous. I began to see how a sense of play was so important. I was also very fortunate to witness what it was to be truly open and vulnerable and have these moments reach even the furthest of seats. It felt magical.”

Physical theatre has always held an attraction for Burkholder, who says, “I think that when I’m truly following my impulses, it’s my body leading the way. My thoughts can’t be in the way – nor my words – for me to sincerely follow my impulses. These impulses (or gut feelings) come from somewhere within, somewhere physical. That’s what interests me! As an audience member, I think the actors’ bodies on stage are so fascinating. Watching an ensemble and seeing how bodies move together, or not together at all, says so much for me.”

Elsdon was bit by the theatre bug with a Grade 5 performance of the Green Day song Basket Case, played on a recorder, that truly rocked his school’s talent show He also won the speech competition with a story about living on the moon. As a teenager, he found himself singing, playing guitar, and performing, and was then cast in his Windsor high school production of Grease, followed by the role of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.

Birding open houses planned at Almonte lagoons observation tower Each autumn, tens of thousands of shorebirds migrate through our area from their nesting grounds in the high Arctic. Hundreds stop off to feed and refuel at the Almonte lagoons behind the water treatment plant on Wolf Grove Road near Almonte.

The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) have built and maintain an observation tower overlooking the lagoon, and a trail into the tower. For 15 years, birders from all over the province and beyond have made this prime location, for shorebirds and other species, one of their important viewing spots. The 200-metre trail in to the tower also holds many fall warbler and sparrow species.

On four consecutive Wednesdays, Sept. 7, 14, 21, and 28, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ birding committee invites you to walk in between 3 and 5 p.m. and view the multitude of shorebirds.

On each of these occasions, you will be greeted at the trail start by an MVFN member who will point out directions to the tower. An expert birder with a spotting scope will be on the tower and will give all who attend an opportunity to learn the identity of the different birds and tell a bit about them.

Birding experts will include Mike Jaques, Sept. 7; Ken Allison, Sept.

14 and 21; and Ray Holland, Sept.

28.

Directions to the trail and tower: from Almonte, take Wolf Grove Road (County Rd. 16) towards Middleville, 2 km. Turn north onto Ramsay Concession 8 at the Auld Kirk church and cemetery, and travel approximately 100-metres to the trailhead. The trail entrance is on Ramsay Concession 8, across the road from, and just past, the cemetery. A small yellow sign marks the entrance.

For further information, call or email Cliff Bennett at 613-2565013 or bennett@magma.ca. Visit mvfn.ca for other club information.

Unusual failure leads reader to seek advice from Car Counsellor “Hi Brian, I am writing regarding a shifter assembly problem with my 2012 SUV. The week of Aug. 1, I started to notice difficulty moving the stick shift out of park and as the week progressed, so did the difficulty. I contacted my local dealership and they quickly got me in. At this point I was having to deactivate the shiftlock override to move it out of park. Later that day I was informed that I required a new shifter assembly. Realizing that I couldn’t drive the car without this unit I instructed my service advisor to proceed with replacing the unit. The next day I picked up my car and the bill. The unit was $501 and the labor was $196.

I questioned the ‘defective’ term used on the invoice and was informed that the vehicle maker has a new supplier for the part. The mileage on my car at service was 60,615 km.

I have owned six cars previously and have never come across this issue, nor have I heard of it before. Could you please let me know what you think of this situation?

With many thanks.

CS Sorry to hear of these SUV troubles. Yes this does seem to be an unusual failure for a vehicle with such low mileage, however component failures can occur at any time on the best or worst of vehicles. If the carmaker chose a new supplier for this shifter, it may be a sign that they had higher than expected failures or that a contract was up and a cheaper source was found.

That component would have been covered under the manufacturer’s basic warranty plan of three years or

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

60,000 km (whichever occurs first). A 2012 model year would most likely be beyond the time limit. Most carmakers allow their retailers to make policy decisions to offer goodwill coverage for part or all of a vehicle repair for defects within certain time and mileage limits past the original coverage.

I’m not sure of this maker’s specific limits.

The best place to start would be by asking the service manager at the dealership if the auto company could be of any assistance with the cost of this repair.

If they can’t help, then getting in touch directly with the manufacturer through their consumer hotline would be the next route.

Whether or not this leads to any compensation, it’s important to let them know of this failure and the resulting dissatisfaction it has caused.

“Hi Brian, I wonder if you might be familiar with the regulations involved for importing used vehicles from the US. In particular, I am interested in the purchase and import of motorhomes because there are not only more available, but there is also a price advantage. Naturally I keep hearing contradictory opinions about the practicality of this idea, and yet I know that RV dealers often stock their lots with these imports. I appreciate that warranty can be a problem, but I am looking for

used units where that has expired, and some minor modifications may be required to satisfy Canadian standards.

Your opinion would be appreciated.”

HP Great question. Importing a vehicle from the US isn’t necessarily complicated but there are many considerations and regulations to take into account. The best place to start is with the Registrar of Imported Vehicles for Canada. This is the body responsible for importing vehicles. They have a very helpful website at https://www. riv.ca/ImportingAVehicle. aspx.

Take the time to read all of the related information carefully. Start with the admissible vehicles list to see what motorhomes are even allowed to be registered here in Canada. The list is considerably shorter than that for passenger cars and light trucks in terms of models and model-years. Printing off and keeping a copy of this list is a must before shopping for a US motorhome.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@ perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1]. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume I can’t always promise replies.)

The secret to growing gigantic tubs of red geraniums Ever since I moved into the hamlet of McDonald’s Corners five years ago and walked down to the shop, there opposite, is a tiny house with two gigantic tubs of bright red geraniums.

Every year they are bigger and better, I asked the owner if he would share his secret of success.

They belong to Ralph Lehman who originally purchased them in 2005, 11 years ago. Ever since then he has seen them grow and flourish, and now they are like pets!

The large tubs are watered daily with one gallon of water and fertilized every second week with an all purpose liquid fertilizer. They face south, enjoying both the early and late sunshine, they are carefully deadheaded with garden snip, not roughly pulled off. When I visited there were more than

THEATRE

From page 28

“Before one of the performances I remember standing onstage behind the curtain, and the orchestra playing the first few notes. I looked around me at the other actors, all focused, all in costume, and I thought about what I was about to do: become a 19th-century French criminal, and sing songs, and tell a sweeping, moving, epic story. It’s there that I decided that I wanted to do that for the rest of my life.”

Elsdon did most of his training at George Brown Theatre School, but the first acting class he ever took taught him that “acting is not pretending to have an experience, acting is having the experience, the interior experience.”

The musically-inclined Elsdon has also appeared in Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash and Buddy: The Buddy

McDonald’s Corners resident Ralph Lehman stands with one of two large tubs of red geraniums he has been proudly nurturing for the past 11 years.

Master Gardeners 100 blooms on one plant and this is their second blooming, there will be one more before they are brought inside to the basement.

However they will remain outside for light frosts, and covered overnight.

To be able to bring the huge plants through the front door they will have to be severely trimmed back. The roots are carefully lifted out, the earth shaken off and lightly pruned.

They spend six months in the basement wrapped in a large piece of burlap, tied at the top and placed above the ground.

remains about 45 degrees throughout the winter.

They come out as soon as the danger of frost is nearly over, are planted in good top soil and the dead tops cut off.

Almost immediately green shoots appear from the base of the stalks. “It is like magic, they appear almost at once.”

The huge plants are now in their 11th year and are the pride of the village.

OHIOHEALTH Holly Story, a role he truly loved both because he played the title role and because “I got to be in a band, playing rock music, night after night for thousands of people. It’s so awesome!”

Another favourite role was playing opposite his wife, Kate Ross, in Mary’s Wedding, which they performed in a rural barn.

“It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking, poetic show about love and loss and war. It was a gorgeous production, with live sound and music; it was very moving, especially to be acting opposite my wife.”

Elsdon also works as a writer with the Storefront Theatre Playwright’s Unit, a major hub of Toronto’s independent theatre scene. “I love writing. I think acting has informed my ear for dialogue, as well as my understanding of stage business. As a writer you need to see the whole picture, see the plot and how

different personalities interact.

When you’re acting, you need to know your character inside and out, and then react to the events as they unfold. You live in the moment, whereas when I’m writing I need to write the moments and then take a bird’s eye view.

His newest play, Superheroes, was developed as part of their Playwright’s Unit, and received a public reading in May. Burkholder and Elsdon both like playing characters in a mystery where audiences might at first have difficulty relating to individuals who are suspects in a criminal case. “Sheila Birling is very sensitive and has an innate ability to detect things,” Burkholder says. “She’s passionate and I think she feels things very deeply. I believe that it’s her empathy and her desire to want to change (and change the environment around her) that is redeeming. I love playing a character

who is so invested in making a huge change.”

Elsdon likes Croft because “he’s someone with a good heart who has made a big mistake and is struggling to understand what it means and what to do about it. Who among us can’t relate to that? The prospect of having to shift our entire worldview is a terrifying one, and that’s what is being asked of him by the Inspector and Sheila.”

To see these characters as they make their way to the last line of the play, before which no one is quite sure who is responsible for the death of a young woman, tickets can be purchased at www. classictheatre.ca or 1-877-2831283.

It’s probably safe to give latest Jason Statham offering a pass MOVIE: The Mechanic: Resurrection STARRING: Jason Statham, Jessica Alba, Sam Hazeldine, Michelle Yeoh and Tommy Lee Jones DIRECTOR: Dennis Gansel RATING: 14A I suppose if you’re in the Jason Statham fan club you’re under an obligation to see The Mechanic: Resurrection. Otherwise I think it’s safe to skip it.

After faking his death Bishop (Jason Statham) has tried to live a quieter life. Of course that can’t last, or there’s no movie. Crain (Sam Hazeldine), an enemy from Bishop’s past, has found him and is forcing him to do three assassinations.

How does one force the world’s deadliest assassin to do anything? Easy, you set him up with the beautiful Gina (Jessica Alba). You then kidnap the beautiful Gina, and hold her hostage until Bishop does the job. The best part is even though Bishop knows that is what’s happening he’s still going to try and save her.

This leaves Bishop with three men to kill. Each one is heavily guarded, and impossible to get

My Take

MARK HASKINS

to. Each one is a perfect example of human scum, and all the assassinations have to look like accidents. This is what Bishop does, and why we bought a ticket to see the movie.

The Mechanic: Resurrection or Transporter 7 or whatever it is suffers from what a lot of sequels suffer from. Statham has gone to this well a lot, and it’s probably at least three times too many. Statham is the deadly assassin who has to take on the almost as deadly villain in order to save the girl. Throw in some intricate assassinations, and some cool fight scenes, and you have every action movie Statham has ever done.

The film does have its moments. The director finds every excuse possible to have Statham and Alba in their bathing suits. The action sequences are pretty slick. There’s a reason why Statham keeps making these films after all. The story

is weak at best, but who goes to one of these films because of the deep and meaningful writing? It adds up to an okay movie if you catch it on Netflix, but hardly worthy of the big screen.

This isn’t what you’d call a character-driven film. It’s more important that the cast can throw a punch than deliver a line. That said, Michelle Yeoh and Tommy Lee Jones are pleasant surprises. Sam Hazeldine plays a stock villain like every other actor who has to play this same villain in all the other films. Jessica Alba makes an attempt to make her character something other than a plot device that needs to be saved, but it isn’t really a direction the film is prepared to go.

After playing the character countless times Jason Statham is really good at it. He does tremendous stunt work, but it’s time to do something new.

Some people like to see the same film over and over again.

They like the familiarity. If you’re one of those people you should probably still avoid The Mechanic: Resurrection. Even you will be bored.

Beckwith community fundraising for new splash pad and playground Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

Beckwith Township has been kicking around the idea of building a splash pad and new playground at Beckwith Park for a couple of years and it looks like those plans will come to fruition next summer.

“It’s happening,” Reeve Richard Kidd told the Canadian Gazette on Sept.

2, “and our goal is to have everything in place by July 1, 2017.”

A splash pad is a recreation area for water play with no standing water. It provides hours of fun for the entire family.

“This is a legacy project to mark the municipality’s 200th anniversary this year,” Kidd said, “and it’s something the community and township will be proud of for many years.”

The Beckwith Community Splash Pad and Playground Fundraising Committee, a sub-group of the township’s recreation committee, was established in November 2015 to increase awareness and fundraise for the project, estimated to cost $350,000.

“We started putting money away in reserves two years ago,” Coun. Faye Campbell noted.

“Yes, the township has set aside $100,000 in reserves,” Kidd said.

Both Kidd and Campbell are members of the fundraising committee. Others include: Kelly Bowles, Matthew and Shannon Guetta, Melissa Kidd-McDaniel, Krista Newton, recreation director Cassandra McGregor and Amanda Wagorn.

Other fundraising efforts have begun in earnest, including applying for

Team

Beckwith Township has been kicking around the idea of building a splash pad and new playground at Beckwith Park for a couple of years and it looks like those plans will come to fruition next summer.

Above, the draft illustration of the playground. Staying true to the township’s identity, the theme is rural. Left: The proposed splash pad for Beckwith Park.

Submitted illustrations

a $150,000 grant by way of the Ontario 150 Community Capital Program, administered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

“We partnered with user groups on everything else we built at the park,” Kidd said. “They paid 40 per cent.”

However, with the splash pad and playground there are no organized users.

As a result, the committee is looking for buy-in from the community.

“We are establishing ties within the community, looking for places to leverage funds, including corporate donations or family or individual sponsorships,” Wagorn said.

Kidd noted about $2,000 has already been raised this year through a canteen

at the March Meltdown, a pancake breakfast at the Franktown Lilac Festival and a painting event in mid-May. “We also received some personal donations,” he said.

Contributors to the project will be recognized by name on a permanent sign, to be known as the Community Family Tree Mural, at the splash pad.

There are different levels of sponsorship. They are as follows: $50-$249, maple leaf; $250-$499, oak leaf; $500$999, acorn; and $1,000 plus, bird.

Going forward, “we will have a presence (raising money) at every major event in Beckwith,” Kidd said.

Beckwith’s splash pad and playground will be different from others in the area.

Staying true to the township’s identity, “the theme is rural,” Kidd-McDaniel said.

Although the designs are still in the draft stage, the roof of one playground component will be shaped like a barn and the slide will resemble a tractor.

Too, there will be livestock. The colours are neutral and natural.

“We wanted it to fit in with the park,” Kidd-McDaniel said.

The splash pad will combine the sensations of different water movements, typically flowing, misting and jetting.

Kidd noted benches and a shade structure would be added to the area.

Beckwith’s splash pad and playground will be located next to the park’s cement block building, where the existing play structure can be found.

“It’s in a central location,” Wagorn said. “A gathering spot for the community.”

Unfortunately, some of the neighbouring soccer pitch will be lost.

“The benefit of the playground and splash pad will outweigh taking some of a soccer field,” Kidd-McDaniel said.

Plumbing and electricity required for the splash pad already exists in the cement building.

“If we were to put it anywhere else, we would need to build the structure, put in hydro and drill a well,” Kidd said. “We are probably saving over $100,000.”

Upcoming fundraisers A picnic in support of the splash pad and playground takes place on Sunday, Sept. 18 at Generations Inn, running 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Festivities include face painting, puppet show, children’s games and picnic lunch prepared by chef Roger Weldon.

“This is a very scenic part of Beckwith Township, along Mississippi Lake,” Kidd said.

The picnic cost is $10 per person and tickets can be purchased in advance at the municipal office.

“Plans for the splash pad and playground will be on display,” Kidd said.

“This is a great opportunity to bring the community together,” he added, “and a great opportunity for people to learn more about this legacy project.”

Generations Inn is located at 717 Lake Park Rd. The committee has planned another Paint for Play event on Friday, Oct. 14 at Beckwith Recreation Complex, running 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The theme: Harvest.

Kidd noted the cost is $30 per person, with supplies included in the price. Tea and light snacks will be provided. People can register at the municipal office, and registration forms can be found at

Kidd noted Ashton United Church and Beckwith Public School Council have each talked about planning a fundraiser for the splash pad and playground.

Whether it’s organized sports or day and sports camps, “every single event at the park will be so much better because of the new splash pad and playground,” Kidd-McDaniel said.

“People are very excited,” Wagorn added. “There’s a real buzz.”

Carleton Place teen travelling to India for Me to We volunteer trip Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

Carleton Place’s Aja Rowden hasn’t even started her first year at Queen’s University; however, she is already wishing it were summer holidays.

In July 2017, Rowden will embark on a volunteer adventure of a lifetime – a trip to India with social empowerment group Me to We. “It’s called travelling with purpose,” she recently told the Canadian Gazette.

During the female-only trip, which runs July 7-26, Rowden, 18, will interact with women and girls living in tribes in Northern India “where the caste system is still heavily in play.”

A caste system is a class structure determined by birth.

“This trip is for females only because many women and girls won’t talk about sensitive topics or their experiences if a male is present,” Rowden explained.

Subjects to be tackled include girls’ education, women’s health and alternative income opportunities.

“We will work towards empowering these women through a variety of methods,” Rowden said.

Despite the strides made in India to advance women’s rights, violent crimes happen nearly daily: rape, dowry killings, forced prostitution

and the marrying off of young girls to older men. India is ranked as the worst G20 country to be born a woman and one of the worst countries for women in the world.

In 2008, Craig and Marc Kielburger, two Canadian brothers, founded Me to We. Rowden noted Living Me to We means working together to create sustainable change...making a difference with everything you do, from choosing travel that leaves a positive footprint on the planet, to making purchases that give back.

For example, “you can go to the Me to We website and buy a T-shirt or bracelet,” she said. “One bracelet is called water, and when you buy it you are basically giving water to a family in a village for a month.”

Before deciding on the India trip through Me to We, Rowden investigated a handful of international volunteer initiatives.

However, “my friend travelled with Me to We and her experience was amazing,” the teenager said.

What’s more, Rowden found the women’s empowerment project to be “very cool.”

“My parents (Rob and Julie) are very excited for me,” she said with a smile.

The cost of Rowden’s trip with Me to We is $5,550. Other expenses to consider include travel VISA, insur-

ance and emergency money. She has already started a GoFundMe page, and she is busy making friendship bracelets and crocheting dishcloths to sell. Furthermore, Rowden’s investigating business sponsorship opportunities. For more information or to support the Carleton Place teenager, visit www.gofundme.com/ajas-indiatrip or call 613-8188393.

If Rowden’s name sounds familiar, it should. She spent this summer with the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce, undertaking the role of tourism ambassador.

Rowden plans to major in global development at Queen’s University.

It’s an interest she developed while enrolled in Paul Frey’s Grade 12 world issues class at Carleton Place High School.

“Before Mr. Frey’s class I was unaware the value of women in a country can be connected to the country’s population, social and economical growth and where they are on the demographic transition,” Rowden said.

“I became fascinated.”

She noted seeing the documentary Lost Girls of China about the country’s former one-child policy, which was put in place to curb an exploding population. Owing to a preference for male children, girls were aborted, abandoned or hidden. Tens of thousands of girls ended up in orphanages across China. Today, more than

Connected to Your Community - A/CP3 - Thursday, September 8, 2016

one quarter of all babies adopted by American families come from China – and nearly all are girls.

“This documentary really brings to light how sad it is,” Rowden said, “and I thought it would be really cool to go help or go see...not maybe change the world but be helpful in some way.”

Coming from China, “I was adopted,” she added.

Rowden said she would be lying if she weren’t worried.

“I’m staying in a Me to We compound, and you are always going out with everyone during the day,” she noted. “But...”

The teenager must bring scarves – one for her head, if required, and one to cover her shoulders.

“I hear it is very hot there, but I am not supposed to wear dresses,” Rowden said. “Stuff like that is kind of worrisome because it takes you out of your comfort zone.”

The teenager plans to be back in Carleton Place before she travels to India.

“I hope to sell some of my items at the local farmers’ market,” Rowden said, “and anyone who supports me – thank you.”

Dragon Boat Festival returns this Saturday Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

It will be a colourful day on the Mississippi River this Saturday, Sept. 10 as the Fall 400 Dragon Boat Festival takes to the water.

The annual event gets underway at 10 a.m. and continues throughout the day with the A championship final at 4:15 p.m., followed by an awards ceremony in the upper hall of the Carleton Place Canoe Club.

The format, which draws boats from across eastern Ontario, includes two 400m races and one 200m race, including an A and B final. “We have 32 boats coming in from eastern Ontario,� remarked Joan Bennett, a member of the Fall 400 Dragon Boat Festival Committee. “The mission of the festival committee is to host the best (fun and well-run) small, one-day dragon

boat event in eastern Ontario,� noted the festival’s website (fall400. com). “We are a non-profit organization that returns 100 per cent of the proceeds back to the community.�

Last year’s festival raised $15,000 to put towards the arena building fund for change room renovations at the Neelin Street Community Centre (Carleton Place Arena) and proceeds will be directed to that fund again this year. “We’ve given quite a bit of money over the past years,� Bennett said, adding that the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital has also benefitted from donations.

Mixed and women’s teams are set to participate and at 11:45 a.m., the popular community challenge will make waves on the water. Spectators are welcome to come cheer on the dragon boats in Riverside Park as well.

Bennett said organizers are hoping for sunny skies for Saturday’s festival. “The last five years it has rained and been cold all day so we’ve put the order in for good weather,� she commented. The event takes place rain or shine.

Dragon boating originated in China to pay tribute to the memory of poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC). He drowned in the Mi Lo River and his attempted rescuers threw zungze (steamed rice in reed leaves) as a sacrifice and to keep fish away from his body. Traditionally held from May to June, the dragon boats got their colourful nature as a result of parents embroidering designs on children’s clothing to ward off evil spirits and the river dragons.

OPINION

Connected to your community

The day the world changed Sunday marks the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.

Sept. 11, 2001 is a day that started out so normal – sunny and beautiful – but ended in a ghastly tragedy. Co-ordinated attacks in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania by Al-Qaeda using hijacked planes killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others and caused more than $10 billion in damage.

We all watched. First the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:48 a.m., which was followed by the south tower at 9:03 a.m. Confusion quickly turned to panic. Then it was the Pentagon 36 minutes later. At 10:10 a.m. a plane went down in a field southeast of Pittsburgh. Many suspected it was headed for the White House.

People crowded around televisions and radios, and as the twin towers crumbled, sending plumes of ash and other fragments upwards, all most of us could do was keep watching. Years later those images still stop me cold.

Fifteen years ago I was at work in Ottawa at TRICAN Multimedia Solutions, working on a project for the Department of National Defence. Believe it or not, it was a training program for air traffic controllers – Airspace to be Protected.

In March 2006, construction started on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, with the memorial, located at the former site of the Twin Towers, opening five years and

TARA GESNER Tara Firma six months later. The museum opened in May 2014.

In May 2011, Osama Bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist group Al-Qaeda, the mastermind of 9/11, was killed in Pakistan by a United States Navy SEAL commando team.

In June 2016 Bretagne (pronounced Brittany), the last surviving 9/11 search and rescue dog was put down at age 16. The golden retriever was given a hero’s farewell, with firefighters and others lining the sidewalk outside the animal hospital as her body, draped in an American flag, was carried out.

The people of New York are resilient and brave, rebuilding after suffering great destruction 15 years ago.

Today, One World Trade Center, also known as Freedom Tower, rises from the ashes of the 9/11 terror attacks.

Desmond Devoy/Metroland We entered a strange new world after 9/11, ushered in by 19 hijackers.

The event changed everything – the way we travel, how we live, how wars are fought, etc. Will we ever truly be Scott Sigurdson of Indian Creek Orchard and Market Garden, right, leans over to pick out some produce for a customer at his stall, while continuing a conversation with fellow farmer Luke Sheldrick at the Carleton safe again?

To market, to market

Take the time to tell someone in your life that you love them I have been doing a lot of thinking about how others affect our lives, friendships, intimate relationships and spiritual connections. We are drawn to other people for so many reasons. Some of those reasons are for their kindness, intelligence, physical attraction, their mystery. Maybe because they are the opposite of who we are, or a little dangerous. So many attributes bring us to wanting to get to know another person.

As I have written before, our own spirit makes us that special person that we are. This creates chemistry when we connect with another. Chemistry does not have to have a hot date at the end of it. It can be the beginning of a wonderful friendship. I recently met a man, whom I thought was a great person. Chemistry brought us together.

Thankfully my spirit and intuition told me something was not right and I followed my gut instinct to walk away. In one weekend he became physically and verbally abusive. Always listen to your inner self and do what is right for you.

What starts out as an amazing friendship can become something that feels more like work than a blessing. We are always learning when it comes to relationships, which brings me to a recent reading.

I did a reading for a lady a week ago.

We will call her Jennifer. She is in her late 40s, been married for more than 20 years and cute as a button. Her smile lit up my living room. From the moment I started talking, she began to cry.

I fought my own tears as I shared with her about what I saw in her pre-reading.

Spiritually Speaking MAXINE

At the top of the page where I wrote all I saw, I had written full of anxiety and extremely emotional. The word ‘fear’ was also there.

This will sound so strange, but I often am in awe on how much I see before I meet someone. In my prepping, I require only a first name and I focus hard into your world. When someone is this emotional I feel it so strong before they arrive or before I get to their home. Jennifer came to me and two hours before, I could feel she was hesitant. So many feel the same as her, afraid of what I might share with them. For all those I have already spent time with, I know you would say Maxine is straight to the point and does not sugar coat anything, which is true. I speak the truth, will not make anything up or lie to you. Know that I am not here to play God or to be the bearer of bad news. So please do not be afraid of time with me. I am a

single mum and a nana. Pretty simply, a regular gal.

I sat across from Jennifer, and I offered her a Kleenex. I told her to be whatever she needed to be while with me. I told her, she was in a safe place to just be herself. Showing emotions is healthy. She told me that she had been feeling a presence in her home. I will never tire of hearing this. When others can see or feel someone, a spirit nearby, I love that.

I told her I saw a male spirit with her.

He had a distinguished look and he was very anxious. I told her that he reminded me of her. I said he is very much like you are. She laughed, she asked for more information about him. I shared that he had passed when he was young, late 40s or 50s. He died of cancer. She cried harder. “That is my brother,” she quietly told me. She said that she saw him in her peripheral vision all the time, like a shadow moving. I told her that was quite normal for some. She laughed through her tears and said he was not white like you would think. I laughed, funny she would say that.

People often think if you are going to see a spirit, they will resemble what you see on the TV or in the movies. I jokingly said, “What, you are not seeing sheets with the eyes cut out going

down the hall way in your house?” We both laughed at that. The TV has put so many images into our thoughts, from when we are very young, about what a spirit should look like should we ever come across one. I have yet to run into Casper, the friendly ghost or a floating bed sheet. It was so good to see Jennifer smile and laugh.

I went on to share about the Tarot spread I did before our meeting and I said I was feeling such a disconnect with her and her husband. She put her hands on her face. She said they were having some troubles. She asked if I could see anything in that regard. I sat back on the couch and closed my eyes.

I did see someone in both their paths; a woman trying really hard to make trouble. It had not gone any further than that. I told Jennifer what I saw.

She said that was one of the reasons she had come to see me. She asked if this person had crossed the line with her husband. I told her, her husband would not allow that. The answer was no. She looked relieved.

We went on to talk about her relationship and where it was now, from where it was in the beginning. All relationships change. That is normal. They See MEDIUM page A/CP9

Reader touched by donation DEAR EDITOR:

On Aug. 16 I stopped at Walmart in Carleton Place to pick up a couple of items.

Walking back to the car I noticed what appeared to be something tucked under my wipers. I picked it up to find it was a card in a yellow envelope addressed to Soi Dog. Even more of a surprise was inside was a lovely card with a dog on the front and a very kind and generous donation to Soi Dog Foundation to help with the care of the rescues. The lady who left this I believe signed, “Colleen.”

I wish to thank you most sincerely for this very unexpected and most appreciated donation. Your donation will

evolve into a comfortable place. Something brought her and her husband together and held them together for more than 20 years. I think one thing we all do in any relationship is not let the other person know how much we care, how much we appreciate the other person. We often just assume someone will always be there, and reality is, for many reasons they may not.

I asked Jennifer when was the last time she told her husband she loved him, desired him, found him attractive.

She said it had been forever.

I asked if she felt all those things towards him. She, without hesitation, said yes.

She even blushed. I told her to go home and celebrate the man she loves, that I could feel how much he loves her.

She said she felt a weight lift

help to feed many rescues saved from the savage illegal dog and cat meat trade of which many are stolen family pets and will be very well used.

Whoever you are you made my day and kindness such as yours continues to inspire me to fight for the less fortunate.

You have made a huge difference in the lives of the rescues and to you, and others like yourself, my very sincere and heartfelt thanks for caring.

On days that sometimes seem hopeless, a kind gesture from a complete stranger such as you, lifts up my spirits when most needed and restore my faith in humanity.

Fran Bryerton Almonte off of her.

If you have someone in your life that you have not told how much you care about, how much you love them, take the time to do so.

Life changes on a dime and we just never know what tomorrow will bring. I wrote a little something for someone I know that passed away last week. I never got to say goodbye to her in real time.

Your journey here has come to an end. Sadly, I found out late. You made yourself known from moment one. At least I took you past the gate. I know you are happy, I saw your smile. I saw the hug from family. Enjoy the next chapter in your life.

God bless no more pain...be happy. XO Email Maxine at maxinecrystalmedium@gmail. com. You can also find her on Facebook, ‘Maxine Crystal Medium’.

akulp@metroland.com

Celebrate the sunflower Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Middleville Fair.

The theme of the 165th edition of the fair celebrates the golden bloom and the local heritage of the area.

“The Middleville Agricultural Society was formed in 1851 to help farmers improve their farming practices,” notes the fair website (middlevillefair. ca). “It ordered pure and reliable seeds in bulk for its members and imported purebred rams to boost the quality of local sheep and wool. In 1883, the society purchased the fairground property and build the large exhibition hall.”

As always, agriculture is the focus of the event, which includes several livestock exhibitions, including the light horse show with judging at 10 a.m. English and western competitors are welcome with child (11 years and under), junior (12 to 16 years) and senior (17 years and over) categories featured. Other competitions will see the dairy and beef breeds show get underway at 11 a.m., as well as swine, goat, sheep, poultry and rabbit exhibitions throughout the day.

The fair opens to the public at 10 a.m. with activities wrapping up at 4:30 p.m. with a turkey supper. Tickets are available in the fair office for $13 for adults or $8 for children eight and under. A pet show will be held by

Chris Harkins named new commander for OPP East Region Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Superintendent Chris Harkins, former commander of the fleet, supply and weapons services bureau at OPP general headquarters, has been promoted to the rank of chief superintendent and named Commander of OPP East Region. Chief superintendent Harkins fills the vacancy created by the retirement of the former regional commander, Dan Redmond.

“Chief superintendent Harkins brings vast and varied experience to his new role. He has a strong understanding of the issues, challenges and opportunities facing not only the members of the OPP, but also the residents of eastern Ontario,” said OPP deputy commissioner Gary Couture.

Originally from the Pembroke area, Harkins has been a member of the OPP for more than 26 years. He has served in the Killaloe and Upper Ottawa Valley de-

tachments, has been commander of the physical surveillance unit, section manager of the analytical section of the provincial operations intelligence bureau, deputy director of the organized crime enforcement bureau and as executive officer for three former deputy commissioners and a former provincial commander.

Harkins is a graduate of the Rotman School of Management Police Leadership Program and of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Global Studies Program.

Harkins oversees more than 1,200 uniformed and civilian members responsible for providing front-line and specialized

policing services. East Region covers 43,000 square kilometers with 16-host and 15-satellite detachments.

“I couldn’t be more proud to be appointed to my new position in East Region. I look forward to working with the dedicated members of the OPP as we rise to meet the challenges of policing such a large, diverse area,” Harkins said.

Harkin’s father, the late Terry Harkins, served with the OPP auxiliary for 35 years, retiring as the auxiliary’s only chief superintendent.

Harkins’ mother still lives in the Pembroke area.

Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police

Chief superintendent Chris Harkins was recently named the new commander of OPP East Region. He takes over from former regional commander Dan Redmond, who recently retired.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

Health Canada moving quickly to control chemicals used to make fentanyl Canada is experiencing a growing number of opioid overdoses and deaths across the country, and days such as the International Overdose Awareness Day are bringing needed attention to this crisis. The Government of Canada is committed to addressing this complex public health issue.

The severity of this crisis in Canada requires that governments work together and move as fast as possible in order to confront the issue from all sides.

As part of the federal government’s commitment to take action to address the national opioid crisis, Health Canada is proposing to move forward with plans to restrict six chemicals used in the production of fentanyl, originally put forward

by Senator Vern White’s Senate Public Bill S-225, An Act to Amend the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act (substances

used in the production of fentanyl). This regulatory proposal would achieve the intent of Senator White’s Bill in an expeditious fashion, and add these substances to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) and the Precursor Control Regulations (PCR), meaning that their unauthorized importation and exportation would be illegal.

“Thanks to the work already done by Senator White, we are able to quickly take this step to restrict chemicals used in the production of fentanyl. Our government is taking a comprehensive, collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to addressing this public health crisis. There is much more work to be done, and I look forward to convening a summit this fall to work with my colleagues from across Canada to address the ongoing opioid crisis,” said Jane Philpott, Minister

of Health.

Fentanyl misuse first became prominent with the diversion of pharmaceutical forms of the drug, such as the patch. However, in recent months, the RCMP has reported an increase in domestic production of illicit fentanyl. Health Canada regularly monitors the emergence of new substances onto the illicit drug market and works closely with law enforcement to address them as quickly and efficiently as possible. Opioid misuse is a complicated issue and there is no single step that is going to win this battle. Government action must be multifaceted and dynamic in order to confront this crisis. By proposing to schedule chemicals that are used to make illicit fentanyl, the Government of Canada is using yet another tool to fight the opioid crisis by addressing the production and supply sides of the problem.

The proposed scheduling of fentanyl precursors complements the new opioid action plan announced by Philpott in June 2016. The plan includes a national opioid summit to be held this fall by the Minister of Health, and focuses on better informing Canadians about the risks of opioids, supporting better prescribing practices, reducing easy access to unnecessary opioids, supporting better treatment options, and improving the national evidence base.

The government also supports harm reduction strategies, including safe injection sites.

Did you know…

• The Government of Canada is supporting MP Ron McKinnon’s Private Member’s Bill, the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act, which would help encourage individuals who witness an overdose to call for

emergency help.

• Access to Naloxone has been improved, and is now available to first responders, police and families without a prescription.

RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR AN AGENCY STORE IN INNISVILLE, LCBO RFP #2016-118 INNISVILLE

CARLETON PLACE COMMUNITY CENTRE

An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Innisville.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2016

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customer-focused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Innisville.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines.

To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products.

Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term.

Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.

For this competition, the LCBO must receive requests for the application package from interested businesses by mail before end of business day Friday, September 16, 2016.

The application requests must quote the following information: RFP #2016-118 Innisville Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management, LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5

Wool Growers honoured by Welcome Wagon Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers in Carleton Place has been recognized for its 20-year involvement with Welcome Wagon.

On Tuesday, Aug. 30, local Welcome Wagon representative Patricia Brauer presented Real Wool Shop manager Erin Pretty and Stockmans Supply Store manager Lee-Anne Durant with a plaque and congratulatory letter from Welcome Wagon president and chief administrative officer Pat Neuman.

“It is my pleasure to acknowledge and honour your business,” Brauer said, “and to express appreciation for 20 years of sponsorship in our Welcome Wagon service to your community.”

Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers’ original contract date with Welcome Wagon is June 20, 1996.

Welcome Wagon is the largest greeting service in Canada, operating from coast to coast.

from more than 20 participating sponsors in Carleton Place. She also takes the time to tell people about the town’s great amenities.

Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers is proud to have two items in Welcome Wagon’s famous hamper. There is a bag of birdseed from the Stockmans Supply Store and a promotional item from the Real Wool Shop.

“We love to promote (Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers) to new people coming into town,” Durant said.

Moreover, located at 142 Franktown Rd., a short distance from Bridge Street, Pretty noted, in an effort to support other businesses, “we send people downtown.”

“We get a lot of visitors from Ottawa,” she said.

Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers is the largest and oldest distribution centre for lamb’s wool in Canada, grading and marketing nearly three million pounds of raw wool every year. It is a rich part of Carleton Place’ history.

Durant and Pretty agreed the plaque would hang in the office at Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS

YARD OF THE WEEK

Final Yard for 2016 The final yard of the week for 2016 is at the home of Jennifer and John Liddle at 315 King Street, Almonte. There are a variety of perennials and annuals consisting of hostas, clematis, nasturtiums, daisies, roses, coleus, petunias, a bloomerang tree, spirea and lilac bushes, along with small statues and tiny ‘critters’. A simple ladder rests against the Debra Maple tree first blooming red, to dark green, to autumn colours. The back yard is also beautifully landscaped and includes a veggie garden. Jennifer is very proud of her son Adam, who spends much of his time helping to maintain the gardens.

This is the final yard of the week for 2016. Thank you to all who sent in nominations and we look forward to 2017 to acknowledge more of the beautiful gardens in Mississippi Mills.

September has arrived and like most of you, my summer holiday is truly over. Summer is often thought of as the free-for-all season when it comes to watching what we eat, so when fall rolls around again we are all keen to get back on track with our health and fitness goals. I have always viewed fall as a season of new beginnings more so than the typical “January resolutions”. It gives us the opportunity to get back into our regular structured schedules, eating habits and activities.

Resuming physical activity can be hard but the choices are endless with registration sessions happening all around us. How do you reenergize yourself while burning off some calories? The answer is simple: get moving! Playing a sport is a sure way of staying in shape. Exercise helps to regulate appetite and contributes to general good health. Not a sports fan?

It doesn’t matter! Many activities, which at first glance seem insignificant, can make a big difference. These include playing actively with the children, gardening, dancing and even shopping. Not to mention the unavoidable task of housework. Boring? Not if we turn it into an intensive workout. That’s right, cleaning the house

can also be profitable for your figure! By using the entire body, housecleaning activities can burn calories as much as taking a walk - as long as you put your heart into it. Lastly, to use your time efficiently, try to be active on a regular basis and exercise on an empty stomach to encourage your body to use up more of your fat reserves. You could also combine several activities to develop all the different muscles in your body.

For example, combine an endurance sport such as cycling or swimming with a daily activity you enjoy. Even hugging a loved one can burn calories and that should make anyone want to get moving! September is the perfect opportunity to ‘fall’ back into a healthy routine.

…Where Donations Go

Your donations are critical to the health and wellbeing of your community!

In Canada we are unique. We have a health care system paid for through our collective taxes. When we are sick, we go to the hospital, receive treatment, get better and return home. The Ontario Ministry of Health funds departments, programs and infrastructure to help ensure that the vast majority of treatments and surgeries won’t cost you ‘an arm and a leg’. However, almost all the medical equipment you use when visiting the emergency room, having a procedure or when you are an in-patient does not come from the government. Instead, it is up to the community to provide needed patient care equipment for the hospital each year.

We are so fortunate to have an amazing hospital in our backyard. CPDMH is accredited with the highest exemplary standing in Ontario for quality and safety. It’s a place where you and your family can be rest assured that you are in the best of hands. The Foundation’s purpose is to raise funds on behalf of patients and the community to purchase tools and equipment that are necessary for patients today.

This year, the community has been asked to raise $333,500 for needed equipment. This includes items like ultrasound probes, stretchers, beds, cardiac monitors and much, much more. We would love to speak to you about the many ways, opportunities and advantages there are to making a donation and how it will work to help medical staff provide exemplary care. Our Foundation staff is here for you, please don’t hesitate to call: 613-257-2200 x856 or drop-by the office at the hospital any time!

New nets in place at Carleton Place arena thanks to local hockey school Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

Tec-Tac International Hockey School in Carleton Place has scored points with the town after donating 50 per cent of the cost for new hockey nets at the Neelin Street Community Centre.

Bill Bowker is the president and founder of the hockey school, and he was also the first manager of the local arena. The former Carleton Place resident now resides in Frankville.

Tec-Tac International Hockey School has been running for 19 years, with the last 16 in Carleton Place.

“It came here when we built the second ice surface in 2000,” senior facility operator Bob White told the Canadian Gazette on Sept. 1. “Bill helped spearhead the rink’s construction.”

Tec-Tac International Hockey School runs for three weeks every August. Programs for novice, atom, pee wee, bantam and midget players include scoring and skill development, introduction to checking and proficient goaltending.

“Bill approached Joanne (recreation director Joanne Henderson) and told her we needed another set of nets,” White said.

Tec-Tac International Hockey School in Carleton Place, operated by Bill Bowker, has donated 50 per cent of the cost for new hockey nets at the Neelin Street Community Centre. The remainder of the $2,005.75 expense was paid for by the Carleton Place Arena Staff Association. The Athletica nets were installed in arena one on Aug. 10.

“That’s the type of guy Bill is,” he “He’s always been an upbeat percontinued. “He’s a real ambassador son, wanting to do something good,” to hockey.” the senior facility operator said.

White first met Bowker three deThe cost of the new Athletica nets: cades ago. $2,005.75. The Carleton Place Arena

Staff Association shared the cost with Bowker.

“The nets were installed in arena one on Aug. 10,” White said.

“They are good quality, for junior to

NHL games.”

Although the life span is about 10 years, maintenance is required.

“About every second year you need to change the mesh,” White said, “and each year they require painting.”

“With the amount they are used, they take quite a beating,” he added.

This is not the first time the Carleton Place Arena Staff Association put money into new nets.

“We did it years ago when Paul Ross was president of Carleton Place Minor Hockey,” White said.

The Carleton Place Arena Staff Association started up in the mid 1980s by former recreation director Joe Crampton.

“I was involved from the start,” White said. “We ran bars at dances and put on a lot of events.”

“Joe wanted to start something we could do as a group – team building,” he continued. “We would have a little bit of fun and put some money back into the arena building.”

The town and recreation and culture department thank Bowker for his generosity.

The Neelin Street Community Centre is a very busy facility, offering everything from junior hockey to figure skating.

Beckwith launches adult co-ed touch football league; tot soccer program Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

All skill levels are being called to the gridiron for the inaugural season of the Beckwith Adult Touch Football League.

Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd and resident Steve Sharp are running the association, which will introduce adults to the special brand of co-ed football.

“It’s mostly the same rules as tackle football,” Kidd explained, “but to stop the play you touch a player.”

The Beckwith Adult Touch Football League will run on Monday nights from Sept. 19 to Oct. 24.

“Games, beginning at 7 p.m., are played on the artificial turf field at Beckwith Park,” Kidd said. “The lights and lines make it an ideal place to play.”

“We have the field and we want to make use of it in the fall,” he continued. “It’s used quite a bit in spring and summer.”

Sharp and Kidd have coached football to a lot of kids at the high school

level.

“There’s quite an alumni of people who’ve played football in this area,” Kidd said. “I’m really hoping a lot of them come out.”

“The goal this year is simply to get the league off the ground,” he continued. “Over time, however, I really think it will grow.”

A draft will determine what team individuals play on.

“We are probably going to have a minimum of 16 players per team,” Kidd said.

The Beckwith Adult Touch Football League is part of Beckwith’s goal of having a healthy, active community.

“There’s lots of running in this,” Kidd said, “and it fits right in with everything else we are doing in the township.”

Players, 18 and over, pay $30 to play for six weeks. People can sign up at the municipal office or during the township’s Sign-up Night at the recreation complex, which takes place on Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Forms can be found online at www.

twp.beckwith.on.ca under recreation.

“The Beckwith Adult Touch Football League is open to everyone, not just Beckwith residents,” Kidd said.

Come and kick it Beckwith is excited to announce its other new recreation program: Parent & Tot Soccer.

“It’s a cross between soccer school and playgroup,” Kidd said, “and I think it’s going to be very popular.”

• Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed.

The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed.

• If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system.

• Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometre’s away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water.

• Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts.

• We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water.

We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed and if you would like more information, please call the Roads & Public Works Department at 613-256-2064 and speak to Rod Cameron, ext. 232 or Cindy Hartwick ext. 258.

Municipality of Mississippi Mills Schedule ‘B’ Class Environmental Assessment

Stephen Stirling, MCIP, RPP

The Municipality of Mississippi Mills (the Municipality) has undertaken a planning process to assess the short-term rated capacity of Wells 7 and 8, building upon recommendations from the related Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Master Plan (Almonte Ward) completed in 2012. As part of the process, background information was reviewed and alternative solutions concepts were developed and evaluated based on several criteria, including impacts to the natural, social cultural and economic environments. A hydrogeological evaluation was also completed to assist in determining the preferred alternative. Furthermore, as part of the Class EA process for reviewing the rated capacity of Wells 7 and 8, public comment during the evaluation of alternative solutions was requested. This project is being carried out in accordance with the Terms of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process, which is approved under the Environmental Assessment Act.

TAKE NOTICE that the Municipality of Mississippi Mills held a meeting with respect to the five year review process for its Community Official Plan on Thursday, June 23, 2016. A second Special Meeting of Council to discuss growth projections and land needs and to discuss the revisions that may be required will be held on Tuesday, October 4th, 2016 at the Municipal Office, 3131 Old Perth Road. The Consultant and the Municipal Planner will be in attendance at the meeting to provide members of the public with information on the Official Plan review process and to answer questions.

Wells 7 and 8

The Project File of the Schedule ‘B’ Class EA has now been finalized and identifies the preferred alternative to meet the Municipality’s short-term water supply requirements. It has been determined that increasing the rated capacity of Wells 7 and 8 by 6.7 L/s to 44.7 L/s is required to address the Municipality’s increased supply demands.

By this Notice, information including the Project File is being made available to the public for a thirty (30) day review period in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process. Interested persons may review this document and provide comments to the Municipality.
