Downtown Carleton Place chair resigns Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

Rocky McDonald has resigned as chair of Downtown Carleton Place, formerly the Business Improvement Association (BIA), in the midst of restructuring.

“It was not an easy decision,” McDonald told the Canadian Gazette on Sept.

16, during an interview at his business – Body Graphics Tattoo.

His resignation became effective on Sept. 7.

“The BIA was starting to require a lot of time in order to accommodate the new

changes, and I am going to be heading into other business ventures within town,” McDonald said. “I cannot put the time forth.”

The former chair joined the Downtown Carleton Place board in 2015, assuming the top job in January 2016. He took over following the resignation of Dena Comley of The Granary.

In August, Downtown Carleton Place announced it is implementing new ways to handle long-term strategies and day-to-day operations, and as a result of the restructuring, the organization’s 12-year project man-

Rocky McDonald ager, Cathie McOrmond was relieved of her duties.

Her final day is Oct. 15.

“I do not think I can talk about Cathie,” McDonald said. “I am pretty sure I cannot.”

He acknowledged “a lot of stress went on when the changes happened.”

When McDonald became chair, his idea was to bring a democracy to the board.

“I am not a dictator,” he said. “Every choice was a board decision – 100 per cent.”

Other members of the Downtown Carleton Place board: Wally Thorbjornsson (Ottawa Business Centre), Rob Probert (Canadian Career Academy), Petra Graber (The Good Food

Company), Mike Cimilyan (Paradime Design and IT Solutions Inc.), Sean Lawrence (Certika Financial Group) and Mark Lovell (property owner). Erica Gyldenbjerg (The Twisted Barber) is an associate member on the board.

Thorbjornsson announced his resignation as the board’s vice chair in August, with his tentative departure date being Oct. 15.

In June, Coun. Doug Black resigned as the board’s municipal representative.

McDonald enjoyed his time on the Downtown Carleton Place board.

“A couple of times I did not enjoy it so much,” he said with a laugh.

One case in point involved a request from the town to take appropriate action against Thorbjornsson for posting disturbing images and messages on social media. Most of Thorbjornsson’s posts voiced his Jennifer Westendorp/Metroland disappointment with mayor Louis Antonakos. In the end the board was satisfied with Thorbjornsson’s offer to remove offending items The 34th annual Terry Fox Run in Almonte was held on Sept. 18, beginfrom his public Facebook ning at the Almonte Community Centre.

Local air cadets train throughout Ontario and beyond Air cadets from Perth, Smiths Falls, Kemptville, Merrickville, and surrounding areas spent the summer training at summer camps throughout Ontario gaining valuable experience and knowledge, having fun, and getting paid!

It is hard to find a better, more enriching opportunity for local youth than the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.

There is no cost to join, no cost for uniforms, and no cost to participate in official activities. Air cadets spend most of the year training at their home squadrons learning about citizenship, leadership, and participating in military style activities such as drill, parades, and marksmanship. They also have camping weekends (known as field training exercises) and sports nights.

All 585 air cadets also participate in annual glider flights and powered aircraft familiarization flights, weather permitting. In addition, cadets also enjoy field trips such as the annual March Break trip and yearend trip. Optional activities include marksmanship competitions, public speaking contests, and biathlon races. Cadets are certainly kept busy throughout the school year.

Each summer many of them also experience summer camp air cadetstyle. Camps are located on Canadian Forces bases throughout the country but local cadets tend to train in Ontario. Some top senior cadets even receive scholarships to earn glider or power pilot licenses.

Cadets from the 585 Rideau Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets, located in Smiths Falls, attended courses at 8 Wing Trenton, Camp Borden (located near Barrie), Connaught Ranges and Primary Training Centre in Kanata, as well as Bagotville, Quebec.

Some of the courses attended by our local cadets included general training (for first year cadets), avia-

During their summer training camps, air cadets are paid $10 for each training day (not Sunday), so the average cadet makes $180 during their summer camp experience, though instructors make more. Parents are not asked to pay for anything as activities are funded in partnership with National Defense and the Air Cadet League; all transportation to and from training, meals, accommodation, and essential clothing are provided.

Cadets who are enrolled in high school can also earn high school credits for their training. This applies during the school year, as well as each summer training opportunity could

Nicola Oddy, left, and Dianne Czerwinski of Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends stop to enjoy the impressive scene from the viewing platform on the recently completed Tay River Pathway extension. As members of the council, Oddy and Czerwinski spearheaded the project, which brought the existing pathway to the Tay River.

Tay River Pathway extension provides lasting legacy for county residents Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

If the Tay River Pathway extension is any indication, when Dianne Czerwinski and Nicola Oddy put their mind to something, nothing can stop them.

The duo, who spearheaded the extension of the pathway as members of the Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends, celebrated its completion Sept. 1. Czerwinski’s father and Oddy’s mother both reside at the lodge.

“We just kind of took the gates away and it was open.

There were no bells and whistles, even though I kind of heard some imaginary ones in my head,” Czerwinski joked during an interview on the pathway Sept. 7.

“You wouldn’t believe how much it’s been used since then,” she continued. “Last night, I came with my dad and another resident from Lanark Lodge and honestly, you can’t sit there and have it to yourself. It’s wonderful.”

Located behind Lanark Lodge, the Perth Community Care Centre and the Lanark County administration building, different stages of the 1.5-kilometre pathway have been completed since 2009. The latest one, stretching, includes an accessible boardwalk and viewing platform on a tranquil section of the Tay River.

The extension begins through a wooded area, with a packed stone dust making up the pathway before it transfers to a boardwalk with wooden railings. Trees and brush were cleared at a stop on the trail, where a bench has been placed for visitors to catch their

breath.

“This area was sort of a sneak preview of the river,” Czerwinski said of the first stop.

“You don’t see it much right now, because of the tall grasses, but in the spring and fall, it will be very, very obvious. It’s a nice feeling.”

“The nice part about this one is I was out here with my mom the other morning and this spot here is in the shade in the morning,” Oddy added.

“So, it’s a beautiful shady spot to sit, whereas the viewing deck is quite warm...we sat here for quite a long time actually and just took it all in.”

A few feet later, the area opens up for the viewing deck, which features four benches and a glassed-in railing area to give a wide view of the river.

“Wheelchairs, scooters, baby carriages, we’ve seen them all out here already,” Czerwinski stated.

Families and Friends committed themselves to a tight fundraising and completion deadline. With a goal of raising a minimum of $67,000 ($28,000 was already in the bank), they began fundraising in June, with plans to complete the project by the end of August. Upon updating Lanark County council in April, the public works department agreed to finish the largest part of the extension, a 300-metre loop around an area of shady pine trees by the summer. Instead, they completed it

by April 29.

Czerwinski and Oddy got the ball rolling on fundraising through endeavours such as a Mother’s Day campaign and Father’s Day event, as well as auctioning off a piece of art painted by 96-year-old Lanark

Lodge resident Norman Gillies, They also secured larger donations from companies such as Hydro One ($10,000) and True Briton’s Lodge No. 14 of Perth ($20,000 over two years).

“We’re still waiting for a few cheques to come in, but we’re really confident in saying that we’ve reached our goal,” Czerwinski confirmed.

During the Sept. 7 Lanark County council meeting, Czerwinski and Oddy were formally presented with the $10,000 from Hydro One. The funds come from Hydro One’s Safe Communities Grant, according to the company’s customer operations manager, Jamie McMurtry, who had the opportunity to tour the trail with Czerwinski, Oddy and Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation president Reid Kilburn prior to the meeting.

“This is a really great cause.

I just want to thank Dianne, Nicola and Reid. They took me on a tour of the trail today and they did a fantastic job,” he remarked. “It’s really, really nice.

It’s going to get a lot of use from the community and the residents here.”

McMurtry said it’s important for Hydro One to give back to communities. “…

Hydro One has a big presence in most of the communities in Ontario and it’s really important for us, as people who not only work in the communities but live in these communities, to give back,” he stated. “So this is one of the great ways we can do that and give these kinds of donations to great foundations like this.”

Stafford-Wilson tells tales of Lanark County with latest collection of short stories Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Arlene Stafford-Wilson’s sixth book will be launched at The Book Nook on Saturday Sept. 24 and the writer will be on site for a signing period from noon until 4 p.m. with refreshments.

If you’re a fan of local history, you won’t want to miss the short stories in this one, including a fire that almost leveled Lanark Village; a “haunted” house, and the mysterious case of a missing boy who may still be alive and living locally.

“Lanark County Classics: A Treasury of Tales from Another Time” is a collection of seven short stories that take place in the 1960s and 1970s in Perth, Lanark, Pakenham, Middleville, DeWitt’s Corners, and the former North Burgess Township.

Stafford-Wilson was just a young student when she began crafting stories and poetry while attending a one-room schoolhouse in Bathurst, near Christie Lake.

“My mother began to send my poems and little stories into children’s magazines - I think one of them was called Owl Magazine, and they were published much to my mother’s delight!” she said in an email exchange with this newspaper.

When she was 11, she attended Glen Tay Public School and was still writing poems and stories. “At the time I was the editor of the Glen Tay School newspaper. I entered a national writing contest sponsored by ‘The Enthusiast’ magazine - a publication for young people, and I won the contest. The prize was the book ‘The Elements of Style’.”

She continued to write and was encouraged by her teachers, Mrs. Dencie Conboy and Mrs. Tina McIntyre.

“I did well, influenced by so many excellent teachers in that school - Shirley Kelford, Sharon Bell, Richard Frizzell, and our principal David Crowley.

I graduated valedictorian and best all round student. Quite an accomplishment for a little farm kid from the Third Line

Arlene Stafford-Wilson will launch her sixth book this Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Book Nook in Perth. of Bathurst!”

Stafford-Wilson said her mother sold her farm after her father passed away, and her mother lived in an “One day while we were visiting her I heard a familiar voice, turned and there was my former English teacher Mrs. Tina McIntyre. She chatted with me for

a few minutes, then went up to her room and came down with an old folder filled with my poetry that I had written in grade 7 and 8. We read through them and shared some memories,” Stafford-Wilson wrote.

Years later when Mrs. McIntyre passed away, StaffordWilson received a Fed Ex envelope in the mail and it was from her daughter Brenda. Mrs. McIntyre had saved all of my poetry and stories that I had written in her class and Brenda was returning them. That really touched my heart.”

As a teenager, her parents took them on a family vacation through the Adirondack mountains.

“We stopped for gas and there was a little book store and I saw a lovely red leather bound book called “My Family Roots”, I used all of my spending money on that book and began to do our family’s

genealogy. Later, I joined the Lanark County Genealogical Society and became their newsletter editor and held that position for four or five years. I am still involved with the society, after 20 years, and on Oct. 1 I will be their guest speaker at their 35th anniversary celebration, so that is a real honour for me.”

For the past few years, Stafford-Wilson has been a member of the Association of Professional Genealogist where she does research for families - some in the United States, some in Europe and some here in Canada helping to trace their roots back to Lanark County.

“My parents were both avid story tellers,” she said, as you will find out in her latest book.

“My dad was a farm boy who grew up on the 11th line of Drummond Township and he had many stories that he shared with us. My mother was a La-

nark County fair judge and she travelled to Madoc, Lombardy, Maberly, Perth - almost any local fair in the county and judged baking and also sewing and fancy work like quilts, doilies, crocheting and knitting,” she stated.

“Our ancestor Tobias Stafford came from County Wexford, Ireland and was among the first settlers in Drummond Township in 1816, so our Lanark County roots run deep.

This year we are celebrating 200 years since settling in the county, so you can likely see why Lanark County will always remain in my heart.”

When Stafford-Wilson’s mother passed away in 2007, she said she wanted to preserve her recipes.

“She had been a keen competitor at all of the local fairs for many years, then became a See AUTHOR page 5

fair judge and so I wanted to share her recipes with her grandchildren. My first book, ‘Recipes and Recollections’ is a collection of 93 of her prizewinning recipes and stories from myself and my four siblings about growing up on a small farm. My first book was originally used as a fund-raiser for Calvin United Church near DeWitt’s Corners - the little church our mother had taken us to when we were growing up. It was important for us to give back in some way and to do something with the money raised from her recipes. The book became very popular and there were many requests to write more stories. I decided that I would share some of my stories of growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, and so the series on Lanark County was born!”

hope readers will take away from my books is a sense of what it was like growing up in the 1960s and 1970s and how different things are today.

Imagine living in the times where we had a party line and phone calls were shared with the neighbours. Now many young children have their own cell phones. What a difference!

We were isolated out in the country attending one-room school houses. That is also a big change. Boys would ‘disappear’ for a few weeks during the maple syrup harvest so they could help at home. No one thought anything of it.

We played outside, ran around, swam in the Tay River and Christie Lake, and rode our bikes up and down the Third Line. We never worried about our weight because we were so busy playing outside.”

Stafford-Wilson said she hopes to preserve a slice of history, so that many years from now, when there is no one left to remember, someone could pick up one of her books and they would have a first-hand account of life on a small farm

during that time.

“I also make a point of listing people’s names and telling the reader who was there, and what role they played. I hope that this reminds the reader that everyone played their part - not just the prominent citizens of the time who will already be recorded in history, but the local farmer, the people who ran the general store, the ladies who organized an event and the neighbours living up the road. They all played a part and should be remembered.

I also try to list the names of people’s mothers and fathers in the book, to help future genealogists in their research, and so readers can see family connections.”

Her target audience is anyone who is interested in stories about the area whether they are her peers who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, or the generation before, or even youngsters who want to find out more about our history.

“When I write a book I never use offensive language, so that anyone of any age group could enjoy the stories.”

Bartleman to speak at Truth and Lyons Goodfellow FURNITURE Reconciliation event set for Sept. 27 Wood Sale ON NOW! Former Ontario Lieutenant-Governor James Bartleman is the keynote speaker at a gathering on Sept. 27 designed to generate greater local understanding of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s calls for action.

Hosted by the Community Issues Working Group of the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families, “A Journey to Truth and Reconciliation in Lanark County” will bring together community service providers, community leaders from municipal, recreational, educational and faith-based organizations, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners who care about this important work.

“The findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the resulting calls for action have left many people wondering how they could possibly make a dif-

ference,” explained Jane Torrance, community coordinator of the Lanark County Planning Council for Children Youth and Families. “We wanted to organize an event that would help get those conversations started and to show our Lanark County community that we all have a part to play in moving this initiative forward.”

Bartleman will provide a national perspective and context to the issue. The day will also feature guest speakers Larry McDermott, a local Indigenous activist who has focused on human rights and the environment, who will lead the discussion on the Lanark County perspective, and a student from the Upper Canada District School Board, to provide insight from the youth perspective.

In the afternoon, Upper Canada District School Board teacher Jim Palmer will lead the group

in the Blanket Exercise, which is a powerful, interactive activity that helps to illustrate CanadianIndigenous history from pre-contact through colonization to the present.

A thanksgiving address led by an Elder, as well as drumming by the Lanark County Drum Circle, a smudge ceremony, indigenous food and an opportunity for fishing will be among the activities. The Lanark County Planning Council will also present its commitment statement to the calls for action.

The event takes on Sept. 27 at Camp Merrywood, 741 Port Elmsley Road, Perth. Registration begins at 9 a.m. All are welcome and the event is free, however donations are encouraged.Space is limited, so please preregister by Sept. 22 at https://www.eventbrite. ca/e/a-journey-to-trutha n d - re c o n c i l l i at i o n in-lanark-county-tickets-25971856522.

SMITHS FALLS KIA

Mills Community Support offers wonderful weave of food, entertainment and art Oct. 1 Come experience the weave of tapastree….music, morsels and memories, a not-to-be-missed celebration of local food, talent and community, and a fundraiser for Mills Community Support.

To be held Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Almonte Old Town Hall, from 6 to 9:30 p.m., this wonderful evening takes place on National Seniors’ Day and the International Day of Older Persons, with proceeds going to supplement our seniors’ programs and services.

“Tapastree” is a play on words and gives an idea of the event’s theme – weaving a tapestry of taste, sight, and sound, all grounded in the creativity and interconnectedness of our communities.

Delicious food served in a small plates format – or “tapas” – kicks off the evening. Prepared by a select group of local chefs – including Heirloom Café and Bistro, Café Postino, Ginger Café, Jessica’s Syrian Foods, Palms Café, the Pakenham General Store, Your Independent in Carleton Place, and the new Beckwith Kitchen - will be complemented by craft beer from Cartwright Springs in Pakenham, and local wine.

Dessert, accompanied by a coffee service from Fluid Solar Roasted and Fulton’s, will take place amid the “salons” of the tapastree art show and sale, featuring local artists and artisans who will be generously donating 25 per cent of sales to the event proceeds.

The abundance continues after the food service with a fantastic variety

show highlighting local musical and theatrical talent. Entertainment for the evening will feature accomplished pianist Kathryn Briggs and award-winning singer/ songwriter and finger-style guitarist Terry Tufts. Individually wellknown and well-respected as musicians, together Kathryn and Terry present their own special weave of musical artistry, humour, wit and melody.

Also appearing will be up and coming singer-songwriter Sarah Milligan with a solo performance, and Sage Age Theatre, a 25-years-young sketch comedy troupe, who will entertain with their improv theatre by seniors, about seniors and for everyone.

Incredible support from sponsors, community partners and volunteers has woven a strong foundation for the event.

Orchard View by the Mississippi, including Joe Princiotta and the Orchard View family, has taken a leadership role as Presenting sponsor for tapastree.

As Joe commented, “Orchard View by the Mississippi is pleased to be partnering with the Mills Community Support in the journey to provide quality seniors services in our community. We are excited to be able to share the gifts of talent and resources that each of our residents, our team and our home has to offer to build a strong and supportive community within Mississippi Mills.”

Key community sponsorships have also been developed with Bean Chevrolet in Carleton Place, Carleton Place Terrace and Canadian Hydro Components. Carol Anne Meehan, a well-

As Karen Milligan, chair of the board for Mills Community Support says, “We believe the quality of life in a community is linked to how it views aging and how it cares for its elders. That’s why we put so much heart into our programs and services for seniors.”

COMMENTARY

Submit your community projects

T

here’s no shortage of great ideas to effect positive change in our communities throughout the tri-county area and now is the time to put those ideas to work.

Aviva Canada announced this week it is now accepting submissions for the 2016 Aviva Community Fund competition, which includes a pot of $1 million to spread to successful initiatives across the province. This isn’t small change.

People can submit projects in three categories – community resilience, community health and community development. Those are also broken down into two funding levels – small ideas (under $50,000) or large ideas ($50,000 to $100,000).

Now’s the time to submit your applications and there’s limited time to do it. The request for submissions opened Sept. 20 and closes Oct. 6. Voting for the projects begins soon after, on Oct. 11. Finalists will be announced Nov. 7 and winners will be revealed Dec. 6.

New this year, winning participants will gain valuable resources, training and education through CanadaHelps.org.

Our area has seen success through the competition in years past, most recently in 2015 when LAWS was awarded $5,000 towards their goal of a new shelter.

These funds have the power to make an idea a reality, whether it’s campaigning to construct a new splash pad in your community, funding for youth centre programs, improvements to a community centre, startup funds for farmers’ markets, or installing a new bandshell in the park, every dollar helps and gets these projects closer to breaking ground and changing lives. There’s nothing we love more as your community newspaper, than bragging about the people doing great things in our areas. And there’s no shortage of extraordinary individuals and ideas in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

Take a look at the competition rules or submit your idea at avivacommunityfund.org.

Special visitor greeted with morning blast from Father The morning sounds never varied. Besides Father, I was always awake long before anyone else in the house. But this time of year, the sounds were harder to hear because our Findlay Oval had been moved to the summer kitchen in an effort to keep the rest of the house as cool as possible, and I had to strain to hear Father doing what he did every morning without fail.

Even though he tried his best to be quiet, there was no way to completely block out the sounds that came out of the summer kitchen, and I could picture in my mind’s eye exactly what he was doing. He would already be in his bib overalls and red plaid shirt, and his grey wool socks. His work boots would be sitting at the back door. I could hear him lift the

lids as one, and hook them onto the side of the stove, and I would hear the Renfrew Mercury being scrunched up and placed in the firebox.

Then I would hear him take the kindling from the wood box, and to finish the job, I could hear him place a log from the wood box on top. I knew he would be going to the back door, pull on his boots, and quietly quit the house. I heard the latch click and the door close behind him. Then I heard sounds I had never heard before...oh, maybe the time he slammed the hammer onto his thumb in the drive shed. But the roars I was sure could be heard all the way over to the Barr Line!

Well, did that get the whole house up in a hurry! He was swearing in German, so I knew

to get a clean pair of long underwear and opening the door a bare crack, Mother threw out the whole pile onto the back stoop. We knew Father

it must be something serious.

Then he yelled that no one was to come out of the house!

“Don’t open the door,” he hollered. And then it struck us all at the same time, as we stood in the summer kitchen, the rancid smell cut into the air like a knife and we knew Father had been royally sprayed by a skunk!

Mother sent Audrey to the rag bag to get the biggest piece of old flannelette sheet she could find, Everett was sent to get a bar of homemade lye soap, I was sent to the bedroom

Hydro One presented a $10,000 donation to the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation during the Sept. 7 Lanark County council meeting at the administration building in Perth. The funds will go towards the recently-completed Tay River Pathway extension between the county building and Lanark Lodge.

Above, from left: Lanark Lodge Council of Family and Friends’ Nicola Oddy, Lanark County Warden Gail Code, Hydro One customer operations manager Jamie McMurtry, Lanark Lodge Council of Family and Friends’ Dianne Czerwinski and Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation president Reid Kilburn.

Left, Oddy, left, and Czerwinski, right, with Jason Munro of True Briton’s Lodge who donated $10,000 toward the project. The lodge is donating another $10,000 in 2017 to go towards further development of the pathway. Above, a stone dust trail leads to the accessible viewing deck. Right, a boardwalk leads visitors through a wooded area to a larger viewing platform.

The Masons of True Briton’s Lodge No. 14 also provided $10,000 of their $20,000 commitment on Sept. 14. The additional $10,000 will be given to the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation, who will manage the pathway, in 2017 for further development of the route.

“We are still overwhelmed by the generosity of the Masons and we are product to have them, along with Hydro One Inc., as partners in this project,” Oddy stated.

Lanark County Warden Gail Code applauded the efforts of all involved in the project. “The communities all came together to make this happen and you’re all amazing,” she said. “Thank you.”

Community support Czerwinski and Oddy credited project manager Kevin James of Kevin James Construction for keeping things on track during the eight days of construction on the pathway extension, which began July 20.

James volunteered his time and assistance also came from the Lanark-Leeds Home Builders Association.

“He (James) rallied the community of contractors who do this kind of build so we would have days where we had eight

people here from different construction companies and the construction companies would donate anywhere from one to three members of their crew,” Czerwinski explained. “The guys were paid, but the construction company itself donated it.”

Throughout the entire process, the duo were humbled by the generosity of the community. From donations of lumber from Perth Home Hardware, to former architects volunteering their time to complete the design plan for the project.

“It’s hard to mention anyone in particular because everybody did something to help us, what they could,” Czerwinski explained. “It just shocked us, surprised us and made us think, ‘What an incredible community.’”

Oddy said 118 individuals made donations “and maybe 20 businesses and a lot of clubs and groups.”

The day the viewing platform was installed, Czerwinski and Oddy came to the realization the project would actually be completed.

“It was one of the happiest days of my life,” Oddy remarked.

“Walking down here, we had tears running down our faces that day,” added Czerwinski.

Looking as if its nestled between mature trees, the construction required special effort

by James and his crew. The end result is truly the jewel in the pathway extension, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature and the wildlife surrounding them.

“You sit up here and you can see birds flying by and fish jumping and there’s a great big frog that we’ve named Jack that hangs out here and of little frogs around as well,” Oddy said, interrupted by the croak of some frogs. “There’s beavers around here and muskrats.”

Oddy indicated the addition of the glassed-in railing adds to the accessibility factor, allowing people in wheelchairs with an unobstructed view. “...We’re really happy with the looks and the results. We think it’s stunningly beautiful,” she said.

Though they call this portion phase one, Czerwinski and Oddy said the contribution of Families and Friends to the Tay River Pathway is now complete.

They had a vision to give people living in long-term care a chance to reconnect with nature and that has been achieved. “...People, when they live in long-term care, generally they live in a building and don’t have a lot of day-to-day contact not just with the outdoors, but with people. They don’t see children playing, they don’t see families sitting at a picnic table, they don’t see dogs running,” Czerwinski commented. “...What

we end up doing (with the pathway) is reintegrating the people in long-term care homes back into society and it’s rich. It’s a really rich thing and it’s better than any medicine they can get.”

It is there hope that someone else picks up the reins and takes the pathway to the next level. “We got the ball rolling,” Oddy said. “...There’s a lot out there and there just needs to be someone to get on it. It would be a shame for the ball to stop rolling now.”

Looking out on the Tay River, Oddy remarked, “I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“Would you?” she asked Czerwinski.

“Not at all.”

smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife and I was reasonably sure we would never be able to go out the summer kitchen door again!

It was close to dinner time before we saw Father climbing the hill from the river, his stinking clothes held well away from his body with a long stick and he was wearing only the clean underwear. He was quite a sight and we were warned that one snicker out of any of us, and we would pay dearly.

Mother had already filled an old iron kettle with hot water from the reservoir.

Used to catch rainwater off the roof, it was big enough to hold all Father’s skunk-drenched clothes, which I was reasonably sure he would never wear again. She added shaved lye soap, a few cups of vinegar and she threw in a cup of baking soda for good measure.

Everett was ordered to bury the skunk, but it would be days before the stench was faded enough that we could go out the back door without holding our noses.

Although Father had scoured himself from head to toe in the river, there was still a faint smell of skunk which Mother insisted was coming from the slaughter outside and not from Father.

Emerson pretended to gag and Mother slapped him on the side of the head, which straightened him up in a hurry.

There wasn’t much chatter around the dinner table that noon hour, and when we said our prayers that night, Mother added a special request. We all prayed for a heavy, long lasting rain to get rid of the last vestige of the skunk smells that had played havoc that late summer morning out at Northcote.

Annual Fall Colours Hike descends Blueberry Mountain Oct. 2 This engaging nature experience fits in nicely with MMLT’s new Wild Child initiative. Research tells us that many of our children are disconnected from the natural world. The digital age brings many advantages and opens up countless doors but no matter how captivating and addictive, the screen can never touch the depth of our souls or cultivate what it means to be fully human as does immersing ourselves in nature.

When children discover nature they come to love it and soon become advocates for the natural world. This not only applies to children but to the wild child in all of us. It’s a win-win situation.

Our Fall Colours Hike will take place on Sunday, Oct. 2, with registration beginning at 10 a.m. The hike starts at 10:30 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are free.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust will be holding its annual Fall Colours Hike to Blueberry Mountain on Sunday, Oct. 2. Above, hikers celebrate after reaching the mountain, which boasts incredible views of the season’s foliage.

Howard Clifford, as the legendary John Muir, will be stationed at the waterfall to share stories with children and to chat with adults who wish to drop by either on the way up or on the way down from the mountain.

The hike to the top is a gradual, 45-minute climb with one short, steep rise to reach the lookout.

Why not pack a picnic to enjoy at the peak? Desserts will be

served after the walk. Children under 12 will be awarded certificates for making the climb.

There’s also an 80 Plus Club for any octogenarians wanting a challenge. It’s a great experience for all generations!

Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Bright-

This annual fundraising event, sponsored by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT), is a favourite for people of all ages. What better place to view the glorious autumn colours and share a picnic with family and friends than on the top of Blueberry Mountain? Local botanist David White puts it this way: “The panoramic view from the hilltop is unmatched in the county.”

Youth homelessness awareness campaign comes to Lanark County Joe Roberts, the man who is pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise funds and awareness for youth homelessness, will arrive in Lanark County next week. Roberts, who experienced the hardships of homelessness himself as a young adult on the streets of Vancouver, became a successful entrepreneur and is now giving back. He started his 9,000 km journey in May of this year, and will be making hundreds of stops in communities to be involved in local events across the country.

Local events Friday, Sept. 30 Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. is holding a barbecue to welcome Joe from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their dealership at 375 McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place. The Beckwith Butcher will be preparing the food, generously donated by Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd., and Rental Village will assist with the set-up for lunch.

Everyone is welcome to come and learn more about youth homelessness in our community and hear Joe speak.

Following the barbecue, Joe will be making a special presentation to the students at the Carleton Place High School, along with students from other local schools Saturday, Oct. 1 Come out the Perth Farmers’ Market at the Crystal Palace on the Tay Basin from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn about the inter-related issues of food security and youth homelessness in the community.

Ready to work up a sweat?

Make a donation to Push For Change and walk like Joe on one of our treadmills.

The Table and Perth Farmers’ Market will also be holding their annual Chili Cook Off and Cider Pressing. You can sample and vote with a donation, then purchase a bowl of your favourite chili and wash it down with some fresh apple cider. All pro-

Your support helps save lives www.heartandstroke.on.ca

ceeds will go to The Table’s Harvest Campaign, and be sure to bring a non-perishable food donation for The Table. Be sure to stay around until after noon to hear Joe speak.

Monday, Oct. 3 Joe will be making a special presentation to the students at the Smiths Falls Collegiate Institute.

Want to get involved?

Everyone is welcome to attend the barbecue on Sept. 30 at the Perth Farmers’ Market on Oct. 1.

Take the Barefoot Challenge: Participate by texting BOOTSUWLC to 41010 to donate $10 towards preventing youth homelessness, go without your boots or shoes for one hour, and share your experience by posting pictures or videos on social media.

Walk with Joe Health & Wellness Challenge: Register as an individuals or a team, set a fundraising goal and match Joe’s steps.

Celebrity cart: Raise $1,000 per kilometre to walk with Joe using an online crowd funding.

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 the United Way Lanark County, who will distribute the funds to agencies serving homeless youth.

Bridget Jones’s Baby a real charmer for fans MOVIE: Bridget Jones’s Baby STARRING: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, Sarah Solemani and Emma Thompson DIRECTOR: Sharon Maguire RATING: 14A Was Bridget Jones’s Baby completely necessary? Probably not. Were there droves of fans desperate to see the completion of the trilogy? Maybe. I honestly couldn’t say. Was this movie delightfully charming and laughout-loud funny? Yes. Yes it was.

We find Bridget (Renee Zellweger) on her 43rd birthday.

She’s single, has a great job, and better friends. She’s happy, but still looking for that certain something or someone to complete that picture in her mind.

For her birthday her best friend, Miranda (Sarah Solemani), takes her to a music festival. In a whirlwind of music, dancing and alcohol Bridget finds herself in the tent of Jack (Patrick Dempsey). The two share a night together, and the next morning Bridget makes her exit never expecting to see Jack again.

Not long after Bridget runs into her ex, Mark (Colin Firth), at the christening of her God

My Take

MARK HASKINS

daughter. Mark is in the middle of a divorce, and very much missing Bridget. After a lot of dancing, and quite of bit of alcohol Mark and Bridget end the night with each other. Once again Bridget makes a discrete exit before things become complicated.

Soon after Bridget’s two encounters things become complicated. Bridget is pregnant and has no idea if Jack or Mark is the father. If you think that’s awkward you have to see the scene where she tells the two of them together that either might be a dad. Priceless.

Now Bridget is with child and has two men competing for her affection. She has to choose between the successful lawyer and old flame, or the internet billionaire and exciting new romance.

What is a girl to do?

Bridget Jones’s Baby may not be the most anticipated conclusion to a trilogy to hit the big screen, but it is a lot of fun. The

film takes the most awkward moment conceivable, and stretches it out for two hours. It’s painful, and hilarious. The film seeks to work on a number of comedic levels from not-so-subtle innuendo to outrageous physical gags.

There’s one scene where both men are forced to carry Bridget through the streets of London to the hospital that has to be seen.

With the humour comes the heartwarming, and a balance is neatly struck. It’s a charming film about love and life that also happens to be extremely funny.

If you were just looking at the bill and saw Renee Zellweger, Patrick Dempsey and Colin Firth in the same movie you wouldn’t need to know much more, and you’d be right. Zellweger picks up where she left off making us laugh, captivating with her charm, and touching our hearts. Her talent has been missed. Dempsey and Firth make it hard to know who to cheer for, but what I really like is their chemistry as rivals. They play off each other beautifully, and make for some seriously funny moments.

Bridget Jones’s Baby is a true delight.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Annual Westport Writers Reading line-up announced

2nd Loc ati NOW O on PEN in CANT ON

Canada Taylor Emerging Writer Award in 2015. His debut novel, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, released in June, is a major departure for Ian. His memoirs were, he says, “comfortable,” this new novel is anything but, for both him and his audience. Labeled a “thriller,” “seductive,” “creepy,” and “mysterious,” readers are left surprised at OGDENSBURG how the story unfolds, and how the writer accomplished it.

The Westport Arts Council’s ninth annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church, 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24, features award-winning Canadian authors Peter Behrens, Iain Reid, Andrew Westoll, and Zoe Whittall.

Ireland and the Irish play a big part in Peter Behrens’ novels.

Born in Montreal, he is descended from mid-19th century immigrants who, like so many others, sought a new life in Canada – not unlike those who settled Westport and elsewhere in Eastern Ontario.

His first two novels, The Law of Dreams (winner of the 2006 Governor General’s Literary Award, and published in nine languages), and The O’Briens (2011), draw in part on his own family’s struggle to adapt and flourish in a new world.

Peter’s latest novel, Carry Me, published earlier this year, bridges the decades between the two World Wars amid the growing anti-Semitism that blights multi-generational relationships between two families, one Irish, one German. His short stories, published in two volumes, Travelling Light and Night Driving, and his essays, have appeared in anthologies and the Atlantic Monthly, Tin House, Brick, and elsewhere. Peter is currently a Fellow at Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced

Kanetix, one of Canada’s oldest and leading online insurance shopping centres recently passed along some great and timely safe driving reminders as we all get back in the swing of fall commuting.

With the return of the school year, driving safely takes on a whole new level of importance as our urban streets become a lot more crowded with bus, cycling and pedestrian traffic.

Rushed and unsafe driving may bring some unexpected financial burdens along with the more crucial aspect of putting the health and lives of fellow travelers at risk. Kanetix VP Janine White sends along these tips to help keep bodies, property, and wallets safe.

Parking in a no parking zone: A bad habit many of us are guilty of, we may do this to simply grab a coffee, or drop the kids off at school.

ticket, or worse, get your car towed.

Driving through crosswalks.

As of this year, drivers trying to roll through crosswalks when pedestrians are attempting to cross or as soon as they are halfway through could face a maximum fine of $500 and three demerit points. That fine doubles in a community safety zone. This bad habit could increase your insurance policy by 15 per cent.

Dooring a cyclist: It’s important you always look before you exit your vehicle.

Even if it’s not on purpose, dooring a cyclist can get you a maximum fine of $1,000 as well as three demerit points.

You may also end up with an at-fault accident if your vehicle is damaged and the cyclist is hurt. The accident and the

ticket could lead to a 50 per cent increase on your insurance policy.

Texting at a red light or changing a song on your phone: Simply touching your phone or any electronic device that is separate from your car’s dashboard can get you a distracted driving ticket costing anywhere from $490 to $1,000 plus three demerit points upon conviction. The impact on your insurance policy would be 15 per cent.

Backing out of a driveway: If an incident happens while you’re in reverse, it’s always your fault. Without accident forgiveness, something as small as backing into a garbage can or running over a bike in the driveway can affect your insurance. And if you’ve caused a collision with on-coming traffic, you can expect the financial impact to be quite severe. These incidents could increase your policy by 50 per cent.

Fishing industry in Nova Scotia is a thriving scene It was turkey dinner with all the fixings for lunch at the Tuna Museum café in Wedgeport on Aug. 11. In a Nova Scotia fishing village, where lobster rolls are as common as hot dogs are here, it is nice to change things up once in a while.

The café operates daily and is attached to the ‘Wedgeport Sport Tuna Fishing Museum’ which is a highlight in the village. The weekday lunches attract a good crowd of locals and visitors. The home-style meals are prepared by volunteers and the proceeds help keep the small tuna museum operating.

Wedgeport, just outside Yarmouth in southwestern Nova Scotia, is the hometown of our Carleton Place friend Frank LeBlanc. Kathleen and I were fortunate enough to visit the community in the company of Frank and his wife Wendy in August.

Our first stop in the village was the LeBlanc family home. Frank’s brother Carl, who lives in west Ottawa, bought the residence a few years ago and is busily restoring it, while retaining many of the historical features. Carl was just

finishing a month-long stay in his second home (he’s a frequent visitor) and he gave us a tour. He’s done a good job of renovating the two-storey property and has plans to upgrade it further.

Carl is keeping it in the family which is much appreciated I am sure. The men’s parents and three brothers have passed on. Four LeBlanc brothers and their sister remain.

It was Carl who invited us to lunch at the café. When we arrived we quickly realized he had already taken care of things which was very nice of him.

The LeBlancs are proud Acadians who are as comfortable with the English language as they are their native Acadian French. Kathy and I enjoyed listening to the conversation in the restaurant. Wedgeport folks speak in an interesting mix of French and English and all of them switch back and forth effortlessly. Frank is a linguist who also speaks German fluently. He learned the language while stationed in Germany with the Canadian Army. He also understands and can converse in other languages, something which always amazes me.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Wedgeport has long been billed “The Tuna Capital of the World.” Over the years the lure of the giant fish has drawn anglers from across the continent and around the world. From 1935 to the mid-1960s the village was one of the top destinations on the planet for sport tuna fishermen.

Bluefin tuna are attracted close to the shore at Wedgeport due to an abundance of small fish which they feast on.

In turn their presence makes the Tusket River and what is known locally as “the Tuna Rip” excellent fishing grounds.

In 1949 there were 72 tuna caught during the ‘International Tuna Cup’ contest at Wedgeport. The combined catch weighed in at an astounding 30,161 pounds!

FDR was here After lunch we toured the very interesting museum. Among the historic photographs on the walls are shots of a smiling FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) fishing for tuna at Wedgeport in the late 1930s. The American president spent many summers at Campobello Island, a Canadian possession located in the Bay of Fundy off the New Brunswick coast. His mother’s family had a large estate on Campobello for decades.

FDR later acquired an even bigger property (a 34-room “cottage”) on the island. It was at Campobello, in 1921, that Roosevelt fell ill with polio which robbed him of the full use of his legs for the remainder of his life.

When the president angled for tuna he was transported to Nova Scotia on the presidential yacht accompanied by a U.S. Navy destroyer. Quite the fishing expedition!

His visit may have been the biggest celebrity sighting in Wedgeport but it wasn’t the only one. Famed writer Ernest Hemingway, a life-long fishing enthusiast, also trolled the waters off the Nova Scotia village for Bluefin.

Many other well-known people from the worlds of politics and entertainment are represented in the museum’s considerable photo gallery.

The facility also contains a mock tuna fishing boat, complete with an original tuna “fighting chair.” You have to be strong to land one of those massive creatures! In addition there are fishing rods, trophies and display cases filled with mementos from the glory days of the sport.

We were impressed by the massive stuffed lobster on display which, when originally caught, weighed an incredible 32 pounds. The lobster pays homage to the most prominent part of Wedgeport’s inshore fishing industry. There are rich lobster grounds all around the village and we saw the vessels, traps and “lobster cars.” The so-called lobster cars are storage huts which are floated to the primary locations during lobster season and used to temporarily store the highly prized crustaceans.

After a downturn in sport tuna fishing, mainly due to the absence of large See MAGUIRE page 25

From page 24

numbers of the fish, we learned the tuna stock in the region has improved and there is now a larger focus on the fish by both commercial and sport fisher people. I say “fisher people” because commercial fishing is not confined to males as it once was. There are many women working in the industry today.

The museum was great. But the most interesting part of our Wedgeport visit was yet to come.

Frank began his working life in the family business, fishing. He decided he wanted something different. Frank moved on to a long and distinguished career in the Canadian Armed Forces.

His brother Larry, however, is still one of the main players in Wedgeport’s thriving fish processing industry. Larry manages Schooner Seafoods Limited, a large facility in Lower Wedgeport. We were fortunate enough to meet Larry who took us on a comprehensive tour of the processing plant.

I would need a separate column to fully trace that very interesting experience, something I have now added to my list of future articles.

Larry’s outline left us feeling good about the future of Canada’s Maritime fishing industry.

Fish that was once caught here and then shipped to China for packaging – much to the chagrin of us and many others who enjoy fish and seafood – is now being processed and marketed in Canada by companies including Schooner.

Asian market At the same time Larry and others have created a major business out of

selling what most Canadians would consider “junk fish” to the Orient.

In the Far East products such as roe (fish and crustacean eggs) are much sought after delicacies. Larry has even invented an ingenious way of separating this kind of product from the main catch, right on the processing line. We were highly impressed by the tour. Larry’s delicious sense of humour made our day. The man never stops working but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life!

Admittedly I have painted a rather rosy picture of the fishing industry which, at this stage, is doing quite well despite the restrictions of the quota system and the ban on cod fishing.

Commercial fishing is difficult and extremely dangerous work, something I will also comment on here.

For years cod were an endangered species. The Canadian government wisely acted to protect our valuable fishing industry. The decisions reached, which were not always popular, were aimed at replenishing the once vast stocks which were being swept from the Atlantic by fleets from other nations. The ban and careful enforcement appears to be working well at this juncture.

One afternoon we visited Dennis Point Wharf at Pubnico which, besides being a major lobster centre, is also home to Canada’s largest ground fishing fleet. Dozens of vessels were moored there and we saw others leaving port on their way to rich fishing grounds such as Georges Bank.

We were fortunate enough to talk to a young fisherman whose vessel had just returned to Pubnico after a successful five-day trip. He was expertly filleting some haddock which he had set aside to take to his mother.

Association stresses to share the road safely

Frank told us that the haul (thousands of pounds of mainly haddock) the man and his two fellow crew members had secured would “make their year.” Fishing is too lucrative a trade to turn down for many Nova Scotians!

Still, the one element that is ever present is danger. Commercial fishing can be a deadly undertaking. That fact is underlined by the memorials to lost ships and crew which are prominent in so many Nova Scotia centres, including Yarmouth.

Storms at sea and accidents have taken a heavy toll over the years. The number of Nova Scotia based crew members and vessels lost at sea are sobering.

The year 1879 was especially deadly for Yarmouth County. Not all of those involved were fishermen as many cargo vessels were also based there at that time. A total of 31 vessels and 106 crew members and passengers from Yarmouth were lost at sea in 1879.

As recently as 2000, Frank’s uncle George Wallace from Wedgeport died when the trawler he captained capsized. He went down with the ship while four others survived the accident. George is remembered on the Yarmouth memorial.

Travel is always educational but I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Canada’s historic and still vitally important fishing industry. Talking to the experts is always best. I was fortunate enough to obtain my information in the best places and from the most knowledgeable people the business has to offer.

If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

The Ontario Trucking Association (OTA) says some recent high profile incidents involving trucks and cyclists reinforce the need for all types of road users – commercial and passenger vehicle operators, cyclists and pedestrians – that safety is everyone’s responsibility. With more and more Ontarians choosing to cycle to work all road users need

area: Exceeding the speed limit even by 16 km/hour will get you three demerit points and fines that increase for each kilometre range that’s over the limit. If it’s found that something was distracting you – for example, you were playing with your phone or putting on makeup, you could also get a distracted driving ticket in addition to your speeding ticket. A speeding ticket can have 15 per cent effect on your insurance.

Distracted by children: Whether you’re focused on soothing the baby behind you or trying to get your kids to stop fighting in the back seat, if you aren’t paying attention to the road and an officer spots you, expect to get a ticket for distracted driving.

Auto industry news has been filled recently with announcements from just about every carmaker on the planet moving forward with autonomous or self-driving vehicle projects. While an affordable mass-produced self-driver may be a few years off, some warnings from traffic analysts should be noted for those drivers behind the wheels of some current tech-laden rides.

Self-driving vehicles as well as those equipped with lane-keeping warning

to learn how to share the road with different types of vehicles in a safe manner.

To assist in this education and awareness process OTA has produced a video that features a professional truck driver who is also an avid cyclist sharing safety tips on how to better share the road. To view the video, visit www.ontruck.org.

or assist systems are completely reliant on good, clean, well-marked painted lane lines on our roads for proper operation. Most self-driving prototype vehicles will simply refuse to move if their various sensors and cameras can’t ‘see’ or sense clear distinct lane-makers on the road ahead. But vehicles with lane-keeping features can still merrily roll along and drivers may be lulled into a false sense of security thinking their auto will let them know if their vehicle is drifting out of their lane.

And while we should properly blame poor road maintenance practices for this problem, our Canadian winters can be equally at fault for covering lane-marks with ice and snow.

Walk Your Paws for LAWS fundraiser this Saturday in Carleton Place We hope you’ve remembered to get your pledge forms and to find many supporters for the Walk your Paws for LAWS coming up this Saturday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We’re optimistic that you’ll be there in large numbers to show us you care about the animals as much as we do. It’s going to be so much fun meeting so many people while walking your dogs. Lots of other exciting things are organized like face painting, a barbecue, raffles, fun music and there will be a microchip clinic available.

At 10 a.m., a big announcement will be made. The walk will be held at the Carleton Place arena on 75 Neelin Street. Pledge forms are available at the shelter or online at www.lanarkanimals.ca This week’s featured pets Velcro Velcro was surrendered to the shelter for no fault of his own.

Initially very shy, Velcro has come a long way. Once in LAWS care meeting new people every day he quickly learned people are OK to be with. Velcro has been at LAWS since April and is starting to show signs of sadness.

Most of his buddies he played with in the cat runs found homes and he’s still waiting to be chosen.

Velcro does enjoy the company of other cats and would be a welcome addition to any household where he can explore on his own.

This Week’s Pets get along well too with the store cat and the store dog. So please come a pick me up and take me home please, I am looking forward to meet my new family.

Ashes Ashes was pregnant upon arrival sometime in May. She delivered her kittens who all found homes. Ashes is extremely petite but huge in sharing her affection. She’s the love bug of a tabby cat you’ve been waiting for. She is growing her winter coat in anticipation to be ready for the snow to come.

She was recently spayed, loves other cats and is ready to go home with you. Ashes would be a good addition for any home.

Ella Hi there, Ella here. I need a home where I am the only cat love of your life and I don’t really like dogs either. I love to be handled and am extremely affectionate. I am very pretty and can’t wait to be treated like a queen. My fur is medium to long and needs reguCarrie lar brushing which I enjoy.

Hi there, Carrie here. I have been Please come and adopt me at at the PAWZ N CLAWZ boutique LAWS I would be a very huggable 14 Main Street West, Smiths Falls companion for someone who is for a while hoplonely and needs a friend. I am at ing to find my available and ready to meet you! forever home.

So far no luck.

Logan I love the people Please meet Logan a four-yearwho come to old Siberian Husky mix with strikvisit in the store. ing crystal blue eyes. We thought They all think I he had a forever home but it fell am very sweet through. Logan grew up in a home and friendly with cats which he enjoyed. He with adults as well as children. I also enjoys the company of most

dogs he has met. When he greets someone, he likes to jump up and give h u g s. . . but he doesn’t always realize his own size and strength and

may accidentally knock you over.

We think due to this being around smaller children may not be best.

We don’t think he minds being around children though. They could even be part of brushing his fur, as Huskies shed a lot and need a lot of care to keep their fur shiny and

well groomed.

Thank you for your continued support.

Jarvis and Patrick

In March of 2014 Jarvis and Patrick started their journey to friendship in the traditional Big Brother Program. Patrick had been waiting for a big brother for over two years before Jarvis came along. Patrick was fascinated with police officers and wanted to be matched with one. Jarvis is aspiring to become a police officer and was present for a presentation by Big Brothers Big Sisters in one of his police foundations classes at Algonquin College. A caseworker at Big Brothers Big Sisters knew this would be a perfect match. Over two years later, Jarvis and Patrick have developed a solid friendship through attending car races, going to the movies or just hanging out and playing video games. Both of them say that they wouldn’t change anything about their match. Patrick certainly learns a lot from his time spent with Jarvis but Jarvis also learns from Patrick. That’s what mentoring is about, spending time together, learning from each other and having a great time!

Benefit dance for Ryan Boothby Sept. 24 in Cobden as he battles cancer A Cobden area family is rallying around one of their loved ones and asking the community to get in on the efforts.

Twenty-three-year-old Ryan Boothby was just getting back to his seasonal job as a heavy equipment operator at Bonnechere Excavating Inc. this past May when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a type of lymphoma.

Throughout the winter, he had experienced a rash, night sweats and weight loss that prompted him to get checked at the doctor.

His aunt Tracy Martin said the family is no stranger to cancer.

Her mom is a breast cancer survivor, her father passed away in February 2015 from lung cancer and she herself survived Hodgkins Disease 30 years ago.

Ryan’s dad also had colon cancer seven years ago.

A benefit dance is being planned for Sept. 24 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall for Ryan Boothby, 23, who has been diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a type of lymphoma. Boothby has family in the Carleton Place, Almonte and Perth area.

Boothby, a graduate of Ope- will undergo sessions every two ongo High School and former weeks for the next six months, Renfrew Walmart employee, explained Martin. began treatment on July 6 and Because his employment is

seasonal with no health benefits and he is unable to work while undergoing treatment and traveling to his many medical appointments, Boothby could use a financial boost, she said.

A benefit dance is being planned for Sept. 24 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall and already there’s been plenty of support for the event, said Martin. People are happy to help out such a good guy, she said.

“He’s a pretty outgoing kid with a beautiful smile,” said his aunt. “He’s a hard worker and he loves his job. He’s looking forward to getting back to it.”

When Martin faced her battle with cancer, she was overwhelmed by the love

and support.

She’s hoping to envelop her nephew with the same strong support she received, in part with the dance that’s being planned.

“We felt it was the right thing to do,” she said. “When I was 14 lots of my family and friends came together and had a dance and ball tournament. That’s what family is for.”

She regularly calls and sends text messages to Boothby to let him know he’s not alone in his fight.

The dance will run from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Cobden Agricultural Hall at 42 Astrolabe Rd. at the Cobden Fairgrounds. Boothby also has

family in the Carleton Place, Almonte and Perth area.

“We’re hoping for a good time and a great turnout,” said Martin.

The event will feature a light lunch and activities, including a Toonie Toss and draws.

There have already been donations from a number of local businesses and more contributions are always welcome.

Live entertainment will be provided by Limit and Steve Agnew and tickets, available for a $5 donation, will be available at the door.

Listening Room Series kicks off season Sept. 25 at Perth Tea Room Well, I trust you’ve enjoyed your summer, hopefully being musically entertained at a few festivals or concerts, managing to stay cool somewhere. It was so hot I actually entered a lake on several occasions, a feat not dared in many years. One of my most memorable musical moments was at the Stewart Park Festival – their special program for the 200th anniversary of Perth.

After 25 years of working backstage I actually sat in front of the stage for the first time, listening to the Men & Women of the Tay Choirs singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow when, above the stage magically appeared a double rainbow. Now, I don’t know choir director Shelley McLaren’s contacts, but that “technical” effect sure made an impressive impact. What an effective light show.

I’m excited to share the news that the Listening Room Series I co-ordinated last winter has found a new home – The Perth Tea Room (formally known as the Perth Restaurant) – 23 Gore St E. We will be presenting singer/songwriters from all over, monthly, offering quality ‘organic’ music in a listening environment – no screens, no chatter – just great original songs with great stories.

We’re so pleased to be able to present on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m., Lanark County’s own, who recently

moved to Toronto, Kelly Prescott, (Claytones, Prescott – Brown, Family Brown lineage) and give you a chance to hear her new music from her upcoming solo CD, Hillbilly Jewels, as well as some from her touring songbook. Kelly is an incredible singer/songwriter whose pedigree, being Family Brown’s – Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott’s daughter; her soulful delivery bodes well, keeping their family’s musical tradition alive and well.

Touring with her is Newfoundlander, Chris Ryan who opened for Toby Keith and has garnered the following positive comments: “This record reminds me that country music is always changing and merging with other forms. Chris takes us on a ride through an everchanging landscape. Very musical very appealing,” said Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo.

“Diggin’ Chris’ new CD. Drunken, Lost, and Lonely is one of my favourite new songs of the year,” said Alan Doyle, Great Big Sea. We are so happy to be back at the Perth Restaurant (now back to it’s historically original name – The Perth Tea Room). We look forward to getting to know the new owners, Melissa and Ryan Baird, who’ve been working hard to establish their own touch on this Perth institution.

As many know, Sue and I have host-

ed many wonderful concerts here in the past so we look forward to reestablishing an ongoing line up of talented singer/songwriters we know you’ll enjoy. Call and reserve your dinner reservations at 613-267-3170.

Show will be in a concert seating style.

Should be a wonderful show. Tickets will be available at the door for $20 or by calling 613-267-7902 to reserve. A portion of the proceeds from each show are going to a community charity, this time being Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. Come on out, hear some satisfying music and support a good cause.

Upcoming event Saturday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m.: Campbell Woods plays the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. He will be playing his own songs from new album, Oxford Street, that I’ve so many good things about. Tickets available at Special Greetings or call 613-283-0300 for credit card sales.

Ratepayers’ committee to hold inaugural meeting Sept. 28 Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

The Pakenham, Ramsay, Almonte Taxpayers’ Action Committee (PRATAC) promises to keep Mississippi Mills council on its toes and ensure transparency on all municipal decisions.

The group, which was established in early August, will elect its executive at its inaugural general meeting Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Civitan hall. Three of the six founding members, Ed Wilson, Gerry Belisle and Phil Wood recently met with the Canadian Gazette to discuss the group. All three are former councillors (Wilson and Wood with Mississippi Mills and Belisle with West Carleton) and share a collective 28 years of municipal experience.

According to Wood, issues such as the approval of the heritage conservation district, the Enerdu power generation project and the appointment process of a new councillor following the death of Coun. Bernard Cameron, prompted the formation of the committee. He said what sped things up was council’s proposal to sell Don Maynard Park and additional parkland. An Aug. 9 public meeting on the issue served as the introduction of the committee.

“In all my years on council I’ve never seen so many people at a meeting,” he commented. “...It sent a strong message, not just related to our parks, but for other issues and I wouldn’t be surprised if, at the next budget meeting, there’s a much larger turnout.”

“The only ones that didn’t realize

The Pakenham, Ramsay, Almonte Taxpayers’ Action Committee are preparing for their inaugural general meeting Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Civitan hall. Three members of the working group who helped form the committee are, from left: Gerry Belisle, Ed Wilson and Phil Wood. there were going to be that many people was the council,” Wilson added.

“The floodgates have opened,” Belisle said.

Wood said it became clear at the Aug. 9 meeting that taxpayers’ dollars and wishes had to be supported. “One of the key moments of that evening is when former mayor Dorothy Finner got up and spoke,” he said. “When she got up to speak, that’s when people have to listen.”

“When you introduce a bylaw to protect heritage and on the other

hand, people are part of that heritage, to discard them is just not right,” Wood continued.

Since that time, a working foundation group has been preparing a constitution and bylaws for the action committee and will pass the torch to the executive on Sept. 28. Wilson and Belisle plan to throw their hats in the ring to become directors.

“Through the dedication of the working group, we’ve pulled something together in an extremely short order that’s a quality organization,”

Wood noted. “We will bring issues forward in a responsible manner and gather input on all decisions that affect us, whether you live in Pakenham, Ramsay or Almonte.”

Members have also been going door-to-door to raise awareness of the committee. “People are supportive of what we’re doing,” Belisle said.

Wilson said the pattern of council ignoring the wishes of residents has to stop. “...It’s like an alcoholic, until you admit there’s a problem, how is it go-

ing to be corrected?” he commented.

“It’s an issue. It’s a problem. Let’s do something about it.”

PRATAC is seeking dedicated and dependable residents to stand on the executive and help the committee be a voice on the community’s behalf. In a prepared statement to be read at the Sept. 28 meeting, the committee “will serve as a vehicle for investigating efficient and effective ways to channel ratepayers’ concerns to a council that appears to have lost touch with the electorate when it comes to representing the will and wishes of its constituents.”

They are seeking an executive of eight-members to serve a two-year term: chair, vice-chair, secretary, three directors (one each from Pakenham, Ramsay and Almonte) and two directors at large.

Specific areas PRATAC intends to explore includes the issue of transparency, taxation levels in Mississippi Mills compared with municipalities of the same size, accountability of council in ensuring public input in decision-making, justification for the pay and benefits of municipal staff, as well as the municipality’s hiring and tendering processes.

“There will also be an opportunity for people to raise issues and vote on them,” Wood stated. “We will be running polls on a regular basis on issues that are surfacing and what do people think of them.” “...We hope this might spur on other people to go to council meetings to find out what’s going on,” he added.

page. No other action was taken.

“That was an interesting time,” McDonald said.

The other matter involved McOrmond, but again, the former chair would not elaborate.

“Though, I do want it to be said I loved working with Cathie every second,” McDonald noted. “She is an amazing individual.”

“She really does have the town at heart,” he continued. “Unbelievable...that woman cares more about this town than, honestly, town hall cares about this town.”

When asked by this newspaper about leaving, McOrmond said: “I ran the BIA like a business, a professional organization, and the events I ran...I have impeccable records.”

“People who do BIA events following me are coming into a turnkey operation,” McOrmond continued, “and I want it made clear, their future success is based on my organization.”

Many aspects of the project manager’s job are done six months in advance.

In 2017, Canadians will celebrate the country’s 150th anniversary. A special red and white tulip was created for the occasion. The town has ordered 5,000 Canada 150 tulips.

McOrmond and recreation and culture manager Joanne Henderson have already determined what flowerbeds in the downtown district will

be used, the measurements of these flowerbeds and how many tulip bulbs go per square inch.

“I have already ordered the red and white hanging baskets for the lampposts,” McOrmond said.

“The poster for the 12th Annual Santa Claus Parade (Nov. 26) is already on my file,” she continued, “and the theme has already been chosen: A Candy Land Christmas.”

The outgoing project manager added, “Event planners coming on board will be reaping the rewards of my organization and my business drive.”

Lovell is currently the acting chair of Downtown Carleton Place. However, a new chair is expected to be appointed on Sept. 21, during the board’s monthly meeting, to be held at 6:30 p.m. at Carambeck Community Centre.

When asked whom McDonald would like to see as the organization’s next chair and vice chair, he said: “In no specific order, Rob and Mark.”

He called Lovell “very calm,” and Probert “he just knows everything.”

McDonald wished the board the very best “in every angle it heads towards.”

The local BIA was established in 1979 to promote the downtown as a business and shopping area, not just a group of individual shops, restaurants and offices. The mandate is twofold: beautification and promotion.

Pakenham school to be interim site for library Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

Book lovers will still have access to the Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library during its expansion, only in a location just down the road.

On Sept. 6, Mississippi Mills committee of the whole endorsed entering into a facility collaboration agreement with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) to allow the library to offer interim services within Pakenham Public School. As an employee of the library, Coun. Jill McCubbin declared a pecuniary interest and did not participate in discussions.

Coun. Denzil Ferguson, who is chair of the Pakenham Library Building Committee, noted time was running out to find an interim space, with the groundbreaking for the library’s expansion anticipated in mid-October.

“I think after many attempts to find a suitable location we have finally exhausted everything in Pakenham and now we’ve arrived at the school, which I believe is a very good alternative,” he explained, adding expanding services at the Almonte branch or partnering with the Arnprior Public Library were other options. “So, I think this is a win for us.”

The agreement, in effect from Oct. 1 to June 15, 2017 at the latest, is ex-

Golf and Baseball a hit for C.P. Youth Centre The Carleton Place and District Youth Centre was the happy recipient of 2 large fund raising events this summer. The 7th annual Jackson Homes Golf Tournament on July 14th was held at Scottish Glen golf course on what ended up being a very wet day.

Participants were soaked within 2 holes, but their spirits were not dampened by the weather, and after lunch the sun came out to dry them off. This years initiative again raised over $11,000.00, to bring the 7 year total just shy of $70,000.00. This would not have been possible “Jeff McMaster, board member and tournament organiser without the generous support of local business’s, the presenting some of the many cheques received from Town of Carleton Place, and Beckwith Township. Please the summer fund raising efforts, to Meghan Link-Lepine see ad in this paper featuring our supporters. executive director of the youth centre.”

The 2nd annual lob ball tournament was held at Beckwith Park on August 6th, and had a full 10 team tournament. This years tournament had 100% of the funds going to the Youth Centre, rather than being split with other charities in Ottawa. Tournament organizers were very thankful for all of the generous support from sponsors, especially Tara Devlin at Scotiabank Smiths Falls, and all of the participants enthusiasm.

Jeff McMaster, the golf tournament organizer and a member of the youth centre’s Board of Directors, has seen first hand the numerous changes the centre has gone through in his tenure. What was once a drop in centre for youth has totally changed in its function. At one time, an employment readiness program was a big function of the centre, whereas now the centre runs age specific specialized programs, such as Kids in the Kitchen cooking program and a summer camp for the younger participants and has a large focus on programming around youth housing and homelessness across Lanark County for youth ages 16 through 26.

In 2015 the centre’s Housing and Homelessness Support program helped 117 youth that were homeless or at risk of losing their housing. The Trusteeship Program allows the centre to act as trustee for youth under 18, enabling them to obtain Ontario Works benefits so they can live independently and remain in school, and a Rent Supplement Program which assists with providing a small amount of financial support so that young people can afford to find housing or remain housed with ever increasing rent costs across the county.

The centre has lost substantial funding from programs that have changed their funding model. If you are interested in becoming a board member, or would like to gain valuable experience as a volunteer, or fund raising organizer, please contact Meghan Lepine at the centre located at 360 Edmund St, or call 613 257-8901.

pected to cost $16,354.55. Broken down, $2,642.35 of that is the estimated lease cost ($7.87 per square foot), while the remaining $13,712.20 reflects the estimated custodial cost ($1,613 per month).

The interim spot won’t be a fullservice location, but will stock DVDs, popular fiction books/periodicals as well as enable public computer access.

Its operating hours will also change: 3:45 to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday.

“The reason for the reduced hours is to help with the costs of operation during this time as any hours outside normal hours of the school’s custodian have to be paid for as overtime by the municipality,” CAO Diane Smithson indicated in her report to the committee.

“It’s maybe not quite as large as we would have anticipated but by the same token, there’s probably more convenience in that there’s significant parking, access is there, it’s going to be reducing the hours, but I still think it’s a win-win and certainly the library staff are happy with it,” Ferguson commented. “The library board is happy with the location and we’re certainly pleased to move on with it.”

Coun. Jane Torrance, also a member of the building committee, said CEO and chief librarian Pam Harris was working hard to ensure the interim location would be stocked with the

most popular items.

“It’s going to be limited hours, but I think they know what is borrowed the most, so there will be some service,” she remarked. “I think it’s a good thing. It was the eleventh hour when this was coming forward, basically, so this is the last resort. It’s a great option and I’m really happy to support it.”

The option of the school came about in the spring, when staff heard of a new facility collaboration concept the UCDSB was considering, Smithson’s report stated. The agreement will be in effect from Oct. 1 to June 15, 2017.

“I think it’s a convenient situation for all with the anticipation of starting in October and concluding in May in time for a first of July opening,” Ferguson said.

The building committee has also put a plan in place for the storage of materials at the library, which involves the purchase of a sea-can shipping container for $4,200.

However, a staff member at the library will leave for the 8.5 months, which won’t be filled during the construction process, reflecting in about $6,800 in savings.

The Pakenham branch renovation project is $529,760, partially made possible through Canada 150 Community Infrastructure funding.

Mississippi Mills looks to hire deputy clerk for six-month period Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

Ongoing demands placed upon Mississippi Mills’ administration department, has prompted the hiring of a deputy clerk for a six-month contract position.

Mississippi Mills committee of the whole endorsed the recommendation during its Sept. 6 session. The matter was expected to be formally passed at the Sept. 18 council meeting.

In a report from clerk Shawna Stone, she indicated staffing deficiencies aren’t a new issue, but have been discussed since the November 2012 operational review, which recommended a deputy clerk position be added within five years. It’s a “very obvious human resources gap we have,” she noted.

This matter was part of an incamera session Aug. 31.

“Staff is struggling to maintain a balance between their day-today duties and dedicate sufficient attention to ongoing special projects and meet growing customer service demands,” Stone explained.

Currently, the administration department includes Stone and CAO Diane Smithson, along with an administrative assistant/ reception position. That role mainly handles water/sewer tax payments, dog tags, garbage tags, parking tickets and other financial matters.

“The addition of a deputy clerk to the administration department would be a valuable asset to assist with various administrative activities,” Stone said, citing some of those duties as preparation of agendas/minutes, development of policies and procedural, OMB appeals, communications, records management, as well as the upcoming consolidation of council and committee of the whole meetings.

Even with the hiring of a deputy clerk, Stone admitted, “there’s still a gap, regardless.”

“Adding a deputy clerk does not resolve our staffing gap, however, it gets us in a better place,” she added.

In the report, Stone estimated a six-month contract would cost between $28,060 and $34,493.

Coun. Alex Gillis questioned what the job description would be and to whom the deputy clerk would report.

“Directly, they would report to myself and indirectly, to Diane, so there would be support for both,” Stone answered.

A sticking point for many councillors was the additional recommendation that the job description be sent to Burkart As-

sociates to evaluate and assign a pay scale.

“Up front, I want it known that I support it, but…are we hiring an admin assistant or are we hiring a deputy clerk because there’s a significant difference in dollars,” Coun. Denzil Ferguson said, adding that if the job description is sent to Burkart, “we know what’s going to happen because we’ve been there before and before you know it, it’s going to be $56,000 to $60,000.”

Citing an employment opportunity he obtained for a deputy clerk/treasurer for a municipality smaller than Mississippi Mills, Ferguson noted the top salary was $56,000.

“What we put in the job description is what we’re going to get back out of there,” he stated.

Stone said a deputy clerk would be hired and “I would argue that you need both in administration.”

“However, based upon some of the legislative requirements I have and the signing authority I have under certain acts, I require a deputy clerk to execute those things, not an administrative assistant,” she continued. “That’s why I’m asking for this and not an admin assistant at this time.”

Coun. Duncan Abbott said council shouldn’t be surprised if this position is eventually made full-time. “…I think we’re kidding ourselves if we think that come next May, there won’t be this amount of work and the province will have backed off. They won’t want nearly as many reports and stuff and that Shawna will be able to do this and half a dozen other things,” he stressed. “If we’re wanting someone with some fairly high skills and some fairly high education to do the work, it’s not somebody fresh out of Willis College or someplace, so we want to keep that in mind.” “…I think what we put up now, we’re stuck with and I appreciate that in six months it’s probably going to turn into an FTE (fulltime position),” added Ferguson.

“I wouldn’t have a problem with that, but what I do have a problem with is not identifying what we’re going to have in that position and what the duties are required.

Abbott also questioned whether someone with those skills could be secured for six months.

“I haven’t felt the market out for a six-month contract,” Stone answered. “I’m not sure.”

Upon seeing the report and reflecting on the Aug. 31 meeting, Coun. Christa Lowry said “we’ve asked the clerk to come back with this report and I think it’s quite

clear that these are the needs at this time and I don’t want to come back here in November if we go in a different direction and have the clerk indicate which legislation do we choose to be in breach of.”

Coun. Jane Torrance said the stumbling block was obviously the Burkart Associates evaluation and suggested eliminating it.

“I would agree with that (evaluation) if you were hiring a permanent position. This is a sixmonth contract position…but I think we offer an appropriate salary because we want to attract a professional person to this, but I don’t think it needs to have that scrutiny of a permanent position,” she stated. “I fully support hiring this part-time position, it’s just how to get there that I’m working on.”

“It’s a contract position and I hope we do not need to send it to Burkart at this point,” added Coun. Jill McCubbin.

Treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh questioned eliminating the evaluation. “I understand the point it’s a contract, but if you are just negotiating a salary with the individual, what if when it comes time to be permanent, that evaluation is lower than what we were paying?” she asked. “How do you backtrack from that?

“You hire somebody else,” Torrance said.

Coun. John Edwards sought confirmation on whether putting the deputy clerk on the pay grid structure with an evaluation from Burkart Associates, “protected the corporation when there have been appeals or some grievance issues.”

“I believe so,” Stone said. “I think you have to set out to hire someone with the appropriate bands relative to other staff members.”

Abbott stressed that the recommendation by Stone and staff wasn’t put forward lightly and that it’s important to provide support. “…I’ve been on council for six years and we’ve fiddled around about evaluations and job structures and different names and different procedures, but we have not seen that it was done…we have let this go this long and we have to move ahead with this and we have to support our staff,” he stated. “...I think around the table, we’re all supporting staff,” Ferguson pointed out. “We’ve said that…what we’re saying is we want a realistic value of it and I would certainly put a motion forward that we remove that (sending it to Burkart Associates)…”

Councillors approved Ferguson’s amendment to the motion.

New reverend welcomed in Carleton Place Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

St. James Anglican Church has welcomed a new minister to its fold in Rev. Brian Kauk.

Ordained in 1996, Kauk, 46, has served many congregations throughout his 20-year career, but he now looks to Carleton Place as his new home. His first day: Aug. 15.

“This is a real opportunity to do something interesting,” he said of his placement.

That means going beyond the traditional Sunday service and reaching out to his parishioners, helping them in whatever way he can, Kauk noted.

His first order of business in Carleton Place is to connect with the members of his church and hear where they would like to see it go, which is well underway. Too, it is a busy time, with a string of baptisms until Christmas.

“As a new person, my initial reception here was incredibly warm and welcoming,” Kauk said. “This church has a gift for welcome and hospitality.”

Kauk’s appointment follows the retirement of Rev. Canon David Andrew. Andrew spent eight-plus years at St. James Anglican Church. His last official day was June 1. An interim minister, Rev. Gerry Peddle officiated until the end of July.

“We are very excited to have Brian here,” rector’s warden Carol Dryburgh told this newspaper. “We were excited right from the interview.”

“I love his sense of humour, his energy,” she continued, “and he brings a new perspective.”

For nearly nine years Kauk and his wife, Brenda Adam, have resided in Munster.

“We are empty nesters with four adult children and five grandchildren,” the minister said.

Adam is the longtime franchisee of M&M Food Market

U L T A A T R I O G N NS O C ON REACHING THIS

IMPORTANT

MILESTONE! Tara Gesner/Metroland

St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place has welcomed a new minister to its fold in Rev. Brian Kauk. His appointment started on Aug. 15. in Smiths Falls. Too, she operates The Munster Dog House, which offers in-home boarding.

“Father Brian is a dog person,” Dryburgh said with a smile.

Kauk’s parish office is extra pet friendly. A dog mat and toy were in full view.

“Yes, I love the big dogs,” he said with a laugh.

Kauk grew up in Ottawa and his family worshipped at the former St. George’s Anglican Church. He studied psychology at the University of Ottawa, graduating with a bachelor of arts (honours), prior to earning a master of divinity from the University of Western Ontario. Upon ordination, Kuak was the assistant curate at St. John the Evangelist Church in Smiths Falls, staying two years.

He was then appointed incumbent of the Parish of Clayton, which consists of three churches: St. George’s Anglican Church in Clayton, St. John’s Anglican Church in Innisville and St. James Anglican Church in Franktown.

“I was there only a few months,” Kauak said.

In 1999, he joined the staff of Christ Church in Bells Corners as the associate priest.

Two years later, Kauk became the incumbent of what was then the Parish of Winchester, Chesterville, Chrysler and South Mountain in Stormont.

“In 2006, three village churches amalgamated to become St. Clare’s Anglican Church – the new ministry site for The Anglican Parish of North Dundas,” the minister said.

Lastly, in 2008, Kauk became the incumbent at St. Mark the Evangelist Anglican Church.

When an incumbent priest decides to move on or retire, both of which require the bishop’s permission, a process of discernment starts for the parish.

“It is then announced to the diocese and clergy and sometimes others around the province and country that the parish is open for expressions of interest,” Kauk explained.

staying in one place is seven to 10 years.

“After you have been someplace for five or six years you have probably done a lot of things you intended to do,” Kauk said, “and you need to consider: should I come up with another plan and do another round or is it time to consider something else.”

For Kauk, that process led to the conclusion it was time to think about a move.

“My moves in the past have often been at the suggestion of somebody else...this time, when I was talking with my bishop, I told him I was really looking for a place where I feel

both the people and I are called to do something together,” the minister said.

Of the places that were open, Kauk decided he was curious about St. James Anglican Church, and that started the process of conversation.

There was an interview along the way, a consultation with representatives from the congregation.

“There is a selection committee,” Dryburgh said.

“And pretty much at every juncture...when I read the documents, when I met the people...I thought there is a lot of cool stuff here,” Kauk said. “Ultimately, they said yes and I said yes.”

The new minister recognizes he is coming into a situation where conflict existed before.

“Of course, I want to rebuild relationships,” Kauk said.

Last year, St. James Anglican Church hoped to sell its old parish hall, also known as Elliot Hall, to the McKeen family, owners of Manitoulin Chocolate Works. However, it was a conditional sale, which hinged on the town approving a Class 3 development permit for the redevelopment of Elliot Hall as an artisan chocolate shop and café. The application was denied. Community members were passionately divided over the matter.

“The previous proposals are all

done and off the table,” Kauk said.

“We are at a new starting point.”

“When it comes to the use of property, we are going to need to come up with ideas that tick all the boxes for everybody,” he added.

The minister continued: “The town has a vested interest in how some of the key properties are used and developed, and when it comes to town planning this is good because we all want to live in a town that has the right things in the right places.”

The church has a vested interest in using the property to the benefit of God’s world and God’s people.

“We are at a new beginning place at what to do with that property,” Kauk

said, “and if we do things right we should all be able to be participants in making something that the whole town needs and wants and can be proud of, and the church can use to make ministry happen.”

A couple of years ago, Kauk noted his rector’s warden said: “Brian, you are heading into the period of your career where you are going to work the hardest.”

Whether or not a person is a member of St. James Anglican Church or the community, “we are open to a conversation about how to make Carleton Place a great place to live,” Kauk said, “and how to bring about God’s dream for the world.”

Carleton Place priest celebrates golden jubilee Popular local priest Father Augustine Mendonca, from St. Mary’s Parish in Carleton Place, this year celebrates the golden jubilee of his ordination. For 50 years he’s administered the sacraments and proclaimed the gospel, first in his native India, then as a missionary to Jamaica and Canada.

“I am so thankful for the pastoral work that Father Augustine Mendonca has carried out at St. Mary’s,” says the Most Reverend Brendan O’Brien, Archbishop of Kingston. “Father Gus, as he is known to many, is a familiar and well-respected priest throughout the Archdiocese of Kingston, having also served as associate pastor of Holy Cross Parish in Kemptville for over 20 years.”

Best known to residents for his pastoral care in area schools, hospitals, and senior’s homes, Father Gus is also a renowned academic.

“Father Mendonca has an outstanding international reputation in the area of Canon Law,” says Dale Schlitt, former rector at Saint Paul University in Ottawa where Father Gus has taught since 1982.

“Over his brilliant career he has produced an impressive mass of learned publications,” adds Roland Jacques, former Dean of the Faculty of Canon Law at the university. “Societ-

Above, this photo is from their encounter in 2000. ies of Canon Law in America, Europe and Asia call on him as lecturer and panelist at their conferences.”

Over the years Father Gus earned degrees from universities in India and Canada, Washington and Rome. Highlights of his ministry include meeting on several occasions with Saint John Paul the Great.

Golden Jubilee will be held on Oct. 16 from 3 to 5 p.m. at St Mary’s School gym on Hawthorne Avenue in Carleton Place. To honour Father Gus, donations will be accepted which will be directed, in his name, to two worthy causes near his hometown of Shankerapura, India: the Manasa Rehabilitation & Training Centre, which schools mentally challenged, speech and hearing impaired children; and St. Joseph’s Seminary where Father Gus was ordained in 1966.

“He ennobled whatever he touched,” writes his classmate, the Most Rev. Dr. Aloysius Paul D’Souza, Bishop of Mangalore, India. “His heart embraces one and all, especially the poor, the sick and the mentally and physically handicapped.”

Tickets for the celebration are available by contacting Rita Swanson (jrswanson@rogers.com) at 613-2577806, or Iris Callaghan-Boles (iris@ bell.net) at 613-324-4747.

The Christmas season is fast approaching and the public is being invited to help out with the annual community Christmas dinner in Carleton Place, presented by People First of Lanark County.

The dinner’s organizing committee is meeting on Saturday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to noon at 390 Flora St. in Carleton Place. Volunteers are welcome.

ENERGY $AVING$!

When it’s cool outside, open the windows and turn off the air.

“We are inviting people to join our committee, to learn about the event,” chair Kory Earle said.

The free community Christmas dinner is now in its tenth year – a resource for area residents who seek a home-cooked meal or the comforts associated with the holiday season.

“The event began humbly in 2006, but over the years more than 1,150 people (adults and children) have benefitted,” Earle said.

In 2015, 150 people participated, and organizers are anticipating a large turnout again this year.

On Dec. 25, dinner with all the trimmings will be served at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192, located at 177 George St., from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

According to Earle, all food is donated, with volunteers cooking, delivering and even serving the feast. Volunteers also act as greeters and help

with the set up and clean up.

“Our wonderful volunteers work hard to ensure each guest is provided with the service, food and warm holiday wishes they deserve,” Earle said.

This year, country queen Arlene Quinn returns to perform, and again, Bud’s Taxi is providing free transportation within Carleton Place.

“The dinner is a way for People First of Lanark County to give back to the community,” Earle said.

People First of Lanark County is an organization dedicated to advocating on behalf of people with intellectual disabilities.

“We have worked very hard throughout the years for the community, giving people a voice,” Earle said.

For more information, to volunteer or to make a donation, contact Earle at 613-4510051 or email koryearle@hotmail.com.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Terry Fox a Canadian hero When I think of a hero, I think of Terry Fox. Terry gave his mind, soul and body to his nation – Canada, and 2016 marked the 36th anniversary of his Marathon of Hope.

I was only 10-years-old when Terry began his marathon in 1980, and I remember thinking how cool it was to see a guy with only one leg running several miles each day. However, as I got older, I got a better appreciation for the determination, courage and idealism he possessed.

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Fred Fox, Terry’s older brother, in 2015. He was in the area to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope. Fred talked about the influence Terry had on the country and himself, as well as the lessons people could learn from his brother’s inspirational run.

Terry was diagnosed with osteosarcoma – bone cancer, in 1977. Doctors told him his left leg had to be amputated and he would need to undergo several months of chemotherapy. At the time he was only 18-years-old.

When Fred learned Terry was diagnosed with cancer, he remembered being upset and saying to his brother: “Why do you have to have cancer?” He will never forget Terry’s response: “Why not me?”

TARA GESNER Tara Firma Tens days after Terry’s surgery, he was fitted with an artificial limb.

Getting cancer made Terry a more caring person, according to Fred. As a result, Terry decided to run across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He began his Marathon of Hope in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980. He dipped his artificial limb in the Atlantic Ocean, and he wanted to dip the same limb in the Pacific Ocean at the end of his journey. Terry’s goal was to raise $1 for each Canadian, which numbered 24 million at the time.

Unfortunately, cancer was discovered in Terry’s lungs several months later and he was forced to stop his marathon on Sept. 1, 1980 in Thunder Bay. He ran for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres.

Terry died on June 28, 1981, at the age of 22.

Today, his message of hope is making a difference. People are surviving, living fulfilled lives because of the money raised.

Look for the positive in life and happiness will surely follow One of the things I learned a long time ago was that what you put out to the world and everyone around you will come back to you ten-fold.

Projecting a positive attitude, seeing the glass half full will allow positive things to cross your path. When you look down on life and other aspects in your world, if you find things wrong with those around you, you are probably walking an unhappy path in life.

I do a lot of readings with people that are hoping for something positive to come into their path, but see everything as negative. You must change your thinking in order for that positive to be welcomed in. You really have a lot of power in who you are. You have the potential to create great things. This power can change so much in your life.

I understand that a lot of what we hear in the news, on the TV is nega-

tive. That according to many we are doomed. We can probably go far back in time and note that there has always been someone that had the attention of many, telling us we are not destined and something bad is going to happen. Did they do this to control others? Did they do this for attention, who knows? We do know that a vulnerable group always seemed to follow and get caught up in the story they were spinning.

I remember the day my daughter came home and told me someone had come to her school to speak with everyone, and had told the children not to bother looking to be parents one day as the world was not a place to raise a child. Everything comes down to how you view it. Of course we can always find something wrong, but what about finding something right?

When I was little, there was always

something going on that was meant to frighten everyone and have us planning our last days on earth. The first memory I have of that was killer bees. That was the talk everywhere, at school, at work, in the news. These bees, of African descent, were going to arrive on a Wednesday and sting the heck out of all of us. That would be the end of civilization as we knew it. I remember the day so clearly and I probably have written about this before, as it left quite the memory for me. That day I packed a lunch, took a blanket off the couch in the basement. I laid the blanket on the slanted hill in our small fenced yard.

I was eight-years-old. I always waited for such frightening events with food.

I had no plans of watching the end of the world on an empty stomach.

I had my sandwich, a glass of milk, and two chocolate chip cookies. I waited and waited and nothing. I sat for what felt like forever. I never saw so much as a regular bee that day, let

alone a killer one.

I vaguely remember hearing the world was supposed to end at some point on another day. I was very young. I am pretty sure I packed a picnic for that too and waited.

Fast forward to the year 1999, New Year’s was so close and many were in a panic. People thought the world would end come the morning of Jan. 1, 2000. I remember my sister phoning me New Year’s Eve and nervously asking me if I foresaw anything happening and should she be worried.

Her tone told me she hoped I would say no. She got the response she wanted. I told her, the night will fall, morning will come, and you will get out of bed and begin a normal day. I was baffled by those who were afraid.

We cannot go through life like that.

So what does this have to do with one’s spirit? Everything, if you want to be receptive to activity around you and if you want great things to come your way. If you wish for happiness, but are always seeing things that are negative around you, then you need to change your thinking and find the good in the path you already walk.

I totally understand that bad things happen, I truly do. I am not immune to those events. Even with the worst events though, we must pull ourselves out of the darkness and find something to move forward for.

If you have carried a weight of hurt from your childhood and that has brought you down for years, find a way to address it and rid yourself of that weight. Often negative energy comes from hurt and not knowing how to let that go. Talk it out, write about it, face it and give yourself permission to walk from it. We all have something great about us. You who are reading this: you are beautiful, and strong, and tomorrow can be a great day.

I often have people telling me that I must have been born with a horseshoe attached to a specific area. With me being so happy most of the time, and smiling a lot, that I must have come from a gifted, blessed home as a child.

I make a choice to be happy and I choose to smile. I will always see the good in my life. God blessed me with incredible children. My own start in life had me living in foster homes for over seven years as a child, and after moving out of them at age 14, I went to school in the day and worked in a restaurant at night. I lived alone and I had rent to pay. So, I know what life can be like. Again, we all have a story.

It is what we do with it that makes all the difference. Find a reason to smile.

North Lanark Seniors’ Expo in Mississippi Mills marks six years of success Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

The weather may have been hot and sticky, but that didn’t deter more than 600 visitors from attending the sixth annual North Lanark Seniors’ Expo Sept. 8 at the Almonte Community Centre.

Spearheaded by Mills Community Support, the event, held from noon to 6 p.m., acts as a one-stop shop for seniors looking to access information about everything from downsizing their home, medical and mobility accessories, to massage therapy and hobby groups.

“We had 77 exhibitors this year and 619 visitors through the door,” noted Jan Watson, seniors’ recreation and wellness program/program co-ordinator with Mills Community Support.

They reflect the highest visitor and exhibitor counts in the expo’s six-year history. “It was excellent. The day was very, very hot and muggy but people got through it.”

Twenty-three volunteers assisted on the day, helping set up and provide information and water to exhibitors.

Four seminars were also held surrounding topics such as falls prevention, downsizing, the Vials of Life program (which Mills Community Support distributes) and a presentation from the Mississippi Mills Fire Department.

The 2016 North Lanark Seniors’ Expo took place on Sept. 8 at the Almonte Community Centre. Above: Sweatergang Companions CEO Christine Wilson.

According to Shelley Wesseling of the Older Adult Centres Association of Ontario (OACAO), one of the funders of the initiative, the North Lanark event is the best of all 65 seniors’ expos across the province.

“This is one of the biggest and one

NOTICE OF PASSING OF AN AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT PERMIT BY-LAW 15-2015 TOWN OF CARLETON PLACE - DPA-02-2016 TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Carleton Place passed By-law 38-2016 on the 13th day of September, 2016, under Section 34 and 70.2 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990.

THE SUBJECT LANDS are described as all the lands within the boundaries of the Corporation of the Town of Carleton Place. A key map has not been included since the Development Permit Amendment changes encompass all the land within the Town of Carleton Place.

THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the amendment is to add Section 3.46 “Model Home/Dry Home” to the General Provisions of the Development Permit By-law. The added provisions will outline special requirements for the construction of model homes within an approved draft plan of subdivision.

TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the by-law by filing with the Clerk of the Town of Carleton Place not later than the 12th day of October, 2016. An appeal must be accompanied by the fee required by the Ontario Municipal Board.

of the best,” Wesseling said during the expo as she handed out pamphlets and information on the OACAO. “…

Small-town people seem to be more interested in getting out and getting information about programs and services that are available in their community.”

“It’s very well-organized and planned from the beginning to end,” she continued. “Jan Watson and her team do a fabulous job planning and facilitating the day.”

The OACAO administers funding for the seniors’ expo through the Ontario government’s Seniors’ Secretariat, which provides monies to run seniors’ information fairs, Wesseling said. The North Lanark event received $2,000 this year.

Feedback garnered from an exit survey filled out by visitors confirms Westland’s claims.

“It was very successful and people only had good comments…there was no negative feedback at all,” Watson noted.

The expo boasted 10 new exhibitors this year as well. Representatives with the Centre for Creative Living in Almonte, co-ordinator Sue Evans and participant Carell Farmer, were on hand to provide information about the unique initiative.

Inspired by St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Almonte, the group was formed last January in order to allow

the creative artists in the community a space in which to do just that.

“We see creative activity as a spiritual process but our project is nonspiritual…it’s just a way for people to explore their inner lives and discover their creative voice in a context that’s safe and supportive,” Evans remarked.

The centre, a pilot project of the church, offers practice circles with mentors in the areas of photography, writing and mixed media, designed to draw upon their creative talents. “We have a concern also for people who have lived in Almonte for a long time and have given a lot of their character through their creative activities. Will they be able to retire here and stay here?” she said.

The Sweatergang Companions booth also attracted a lot of attention from visitors. CEO Christine Wilson established the business in January 2013, which provides companionship, personal support and respite to seniors.

“I have a passion for helping seniors,” she said, noting that she previously worked in long-term care homes as a health care aide. “I saw PSWs (Personal Support Workers) See EXPO page A/CP12

You will demonstrate strength instead of weakness, power it and want to quit?" instead of fear, and prosperity in place of lack.

Spot different species at birding open houses An article in the Canadian-Gazette, Sept. 8, describes the trail leading to the Potvin Observation Tower to view migrating shorebirds. The trail is maintained by the birding committee of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN). Open houses are held every Wednesday of September, 3 to 5 p.m., with an expert birder on the tower with telescope, to help visitors see and identify the different birds.

Directions, from Almonte, follow Wolf Grove Road west 2 km to Ramsay Concession 8. Turn north at the Auld Kirk church and cemetery, and go approximately 100 metres to the trailhead.

An MVFN member will direct you to trail entrance, marked by a small yellow sign.

Michael Jaques was the expert on Sept. 7 and five species of shorebird seen included four Pectoral Sandpipers and four Wilson’s Snipe. Among the ducks and geese, both Green- and Blue-winged Teal were tallied. Fourteen species of birds were recorded.

Talking with a lady in Almonte, she mentioned all the hummingbirds around her home. One very feisty male Ruby-throated Hummingbird tried to keep all other Hummingbirds away from the feeders. Females and juveniles had to very quickly take a sip then fly

off. By the end of September, most Hummingbirds will be on their journey south.

Remember to keep your feeders clean and filled, for other migrating species will stop by to feed and rest on their migration. Watch for White-throated and Whitecrowned Sparrows as well as Dark-eyed Juncos, plus Yellow-rumped Warbler, one of the last warblers to leave us.

Travelling to and from Almonte this month, I often see the resident Redtailed Hawk perched on the hydro lines along County 29. On Gleeson Road, I was surprised as a Pileated Woodpecker flew across in front of me and landed on a telephone pole. The bright crimson head stands out along with large striking white wing patches as it flies. Along Clayton Road, an American kestrel has returned in the last three weeks.

In one large field, more than 40 Canada geese feed.

Every road has at least one American Crow.

Please call Lynda at 613256-5013 or email bennett@ magma.ca with bird reports.

Naismith Basketball Foundation asks for help to increase awareness Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

According to the Dr. James Naismith Basketball Foundation, many people still don’t realize the inventor of the game of basketball was born in Almonte and they are setting out to change that.

Foundation board member Kristen Ray appeared before Mississippi Mills council Sept. 6 during their regular council session, to update them further on the activities of the organization after president Clem Pelot had appeared the week prior, on Aug. 31.

Ray’s message however, came with a simple request to the municipality: to attach a recently designed logo to their email signatures to increase public awareness of Naismith’s achievement.

She said the logo initiative, of which two are available (one for public use and another for business/municipal purposes), fits right in with the foundation’s mission of “increasing awareness of Canadian Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the game of basketball, his values, legacies in sport, theology and medicine.”

While Naismith was a physician and teacher, he is most remembered for inventing the game of basketball in 1891. This year marks the 125th anniversary of the sport, first played in December of 1891 with peach baskets as nets, at Springfield College in Mas-

sachusetts. The foundation has plans to mark the milestone later this fall.

“The objective was to challenge athletes, mentally and physically and also to create a game that was accessible to almost everyone and lastly and probably most importantly, was to instill character in his athletes,” Ray explained.

While basketball is recognized internationally as one of the most played sports with one of the largest fan bases, Ray said the awareness at home needs some work and it should begin with the municipality.

“The hope and the goal is that this awareness is totally obvious in our community, which I believe, we are still lacking a little bit,” she admitted.

“In order to continue this work and push this message locally, I believe that it has to start from top. There has to be some sort of show from the top, from our council, from our municipality. It has to come from here.”

Asking for more visual support to show how this piece of history matters to the municipality, Ray unveiled the logos, created locally by Auni Milne of Sumack Loft. Two different logos were created.

By attaching the graphic to their email signatures, council and municipal staff would be constantly promoting the Naismith link. There is no deadline to stop the use of the logos “because we think it’s important that this be something that we promote all the time,” Ray said.

“I recognize there are other things that come up such as other anniversaries and such, but this is just a starting point for us to hope that our council recognizes the importance of not just this anniversary, but just the richness of this link that we have that we don’t brag about and I think that we should,” she continued. “...Because

not everybody knows. People who live here still don’t know, so I think it’s really important that we push the awareness of this, this icon and this story.”

Councillors were all receptive of the request and Coun. Jane Torrance encouraged the foundation to make the graphics available on their website for easy download. Ray said it isn’t currently available on the site. “We haven’t really spoken about putting it on the website for immediate download,” she noted.

“If you were to post it on your own website and have three or four or five sizes, then we could encourage everyone to go and grab it, so it would be

easy to get from your website and we’d all remember where it is,” Torrance stated. “And it would drive traffic to your website, too.”

As the logo references Mississippi Mills and not Almonte, Coun. Denzil Ferguson wondered if it would be changed to include the town.

“We thought about that for a really long time...it could be easily changed, however, because we’re the Town (Municipality) of Mississippi Mills now, it didn’t seem like the best choice,” Ray answered.

Coun. Alex Gillis believed “Mississippi Mills is perfect good.”

“After all we know perfectly well that he was born in Ramsay Township and that Almonte was once in Ramsay Township...perhaps the most effective term now is Mississippi Mills,” he added.

Another suggestion was brought forward by Coun. Val Wilkinson for the foundation to consider making a pin of the graphics. “When you do a lot of travelling with council, everywhere you go they give you a pin... it would make a really nice pin,” she said. “It’s just a thought.”

The majority of Sweatergang Companion’s clients come from Almonte.

“We do everything from taking them out for a drive in the country just to get out of the house, to grocery shopping, having a cup of tea or helping with laundry,” she said. “…

We might be the only person that client sees in a day.”

Watson said the expo is a vital way to connect seniors with programs and services in their community.

“The more we have an aging population, the more people need to understand the services and support available,” she commented. “It’s a one-stop shop…you get 77 different exhibitors. All may not apply to what you want, but the information is there.”

The North Lanark Seniors’ Expo is offered in conjunction with partners including the Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville, Revera Retirement Living, the Lanark chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) and OrchardView by the Mississippi.

Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor

AGH-FVM Board is committed to healthy community, says new Chair Hobbs, who is the Royal Bank manager at branches in Almonte and Pakenham, stresses the importance of ensuring “people in our community are healthy from the beginning. And that means organizations working hand in hand to provide support to individuals who need help.”

By Cecilia McGuire A healthy community is the chief priority of the Board of Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor, says new Board Chair Cindy Hobbs. “We are committed to ensuring that Mississippi Mills is a healthy community with all of the resources necessary to meet an individual’s mental, emotional and physical needs.

And AGH plays a vital role in the community’s well-being,” says Hobbs, who joined the AGH-FVM Board in 2012 and served last year as Vice-Chair.

Cindy Hobbs Chair Board of Directors

“AGH has a sterling reputation,” says Hobbs.

“The best and the brightest people work at our hospital, and they’ve chosen to come to AGH because of its reputation.” The key to AGH’s success, Hobbs says, is “the tremendous amount of work put into strategic planning over the last several years. We know what is important and we continue to revisit our priorities.

Our senior management team has decades of experience, knowledge and expertise. We also have attracted a terrific team of doctors,” Hobbs says, noting that the hospital’s full-time Obstretrician and Gynaecologists, as well as the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team on the AGH campus, provide an important link to enhance community care.

This ad is generously underwritten by the Connected to Your Community - A/CP12 - Thursday, September 22, 2016

“AGH is not a silo,” adds Hobbs, who has volunteered for several United Way-supported organizations over the years, as well as Mississippi Mills Community Support. “AGH is a critical piece of the puzzle, but we need all of the pieces working together.” Hobbs says the AGH-FVM Board will continue to work with other organizations to ensure residents have access to all available services. “We don’t want to be there only when people are sick. We want to ensure that services are there to keep people healthy in our community all the time.”

And that, Hobbs says, is the final piece of the puzzle.

“A caring community is a healthy community. It makes a big difference to know that somebody cares.”

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments.

Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear.

Everything works automatically.

There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing.

Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce

the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids.

Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

September 13, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Here are highlights from regular Mississippi Mills meetings held Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Municipality Applauded for Healthy Community Efforts: Mississippi Mills was celebrated for its commitment to the Healthy Communities Partnership efforts to date. Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit Medical Officer of Health Dr. Paula Stewart presented the Health Communities Summary Report for 2016 to council last week. The Healthy Communities Partnership formed in 2010 to bring community partners and leaders together to promote healthy living. The Municipal Healthy Community Initiative celebrates what municipalities are currently doing to support a healthy community and to help them learn from one another.

The initiative aims to introduce municipal councils and staff to the Healthy Communities Vision, and encourage them to endorse it; to complete a Healthy Community Asset Inventory Tool; to support and provide resources for the work municipalities undertake towards a healthy community; and to track progress and celebrate success in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville.

Following regional consultation regarding the vision, staff from three local municipalities developed a questionnaire to collect information about current municipal actions that support a healthy community. Mississippi Mills staff completed the questionnaire, which covered topics such as physical activity (facilities and programs, reaching out to residents), built environment (land-use planning, active transportation), outdoor and natural environment, accessibility, and healthy eating (healthy food choices, municipal plans and policies around local food systems). The report noted Mississippi Mills has worked towards creating a healthy environment for residents by providing “many places and programs to encourage physical activity, through the municipality itself, in partnership, or privately with a strong emphasis on accessibility for all residents” as well as recognizing the importance of healthy eating and support for local food. “By endorsing the Healthy Community Vision the Municipality of Mississippi Mills has publicly affirmed its commitment to continue its work to make the ‘healthy choice the easy choice’ for residents. The Healthy Community Partnership applauds this work and commits to support the municipality going forward.” A summary can be found at http://www.mississippimills.ca/uploads/12/Doc_636082586819750152.pdf.

Temporary Location for Pakenham Library Selected: Pending approval by council on Sept. 20, a committee of the whole recommendation authorized staff to enter into an agreement with the Upper Canada District School Board to provide temporary space for the Pakenham Branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library while the existing branch is being renovated.

The Municipality received $264,800 in funding (50 per cent of the total cost) from the federal Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program towards expanding the branch. In February a building committee was established to oversee the contract, which was awarded to VG+ Architects. In a report to the committee of the whole, councillors learned the plans are underway, but the project can be completed more efficiently if the library operation is removed from the site during construction, which is slated for October 1 through June 15. After investigating various possibilities, the Pakenham Public School was deemed suitable. It will not be a full-service location during the construction, but will provide DVDs, most popular fiction books/ periodicals and public computer access. To accommodate school bus schedules and operation costs related to a custodian, library hours will be adjusted to Monday to Friday, 3:45 to 7 pm.

Third Place for United Way Contributions: At the Lanark County Community Services Committee of the Whole meeting in Perth on Sept. 7, Mississippi Mills received a certificate from United Way Lanark County. The award is part of an annual challenge to see which local municipality can raise the most money for the United Way through workplace donations.

Three-game sweep last week gives Canadians league lead early in season Staff

With a host of new players, the Carleton Place Canadians continue to gel on the ice, as evidenced by their sweep of all three games last week.

Most recently on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 18, the team was at home, welcoming the Cornwall Colts to town. The Colts, the Canadians’ Robinson Division rivals, sit one point back in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) standings, with 11 points to the Canadians’ 12.

Carleton Place got on the leaderboard first and had the lone goal of the first period, at 10:32, from Aiden Girduckis, assisted by Connor Merkley and Alex Friesen.

They increased that lead to 2-0 at the 4:30 mark of the second period with Connor Hill netting one past Colts goaltender Liam Lascelle. It was assisted by Andrew Dodson and Friesen.

Cornwall’s Tanner Spink answered back at 14:07 to bring his team within a goal, but with less than a minute remaining in the middle period, Dodson’s marker, from Connor Hill and Friesen (with this third assist of the game),

re-established the Canadians’ twogoal lead.

The star of the game thus far for the Colts, Spink, came through again for his team with his second goal of the night at 13:55. It wouldn’t be enough, however, and the Canadians came through with the 3-2 win to secure the CCHL league lead for the time being.

Of note, Cornwall’s Grant Cooper and Carleton Place’s Friesen both earned five-minute majors and game misconducts for a tangle at the 1:26 mark of the third period.

Canadians’ netminder Connor Hughes had the win, stopping 21 of 23 shots he faced, while Lascelle got the loss. The Canadians peppered him with 36 shots on goal.

11:49 mark from Geoff Kitt. The score remained that way, with the Canadians going home with a 4-1 win.

Carleton Place outshot Brockville 32-19. Connor Hughes had the win in nets for the Canadians, while Braves goalie Henry Johnson was handed the loss.

16, the Canadians were on the road at the Brockville Memorial Centre to take on the Braves.

A low-scoring first period saw the Canadians strike first at the 13:59 mark on a goal by Alex Storjohann, from Zachary Sheedy and Stian Owens.

Up 1-0 as the second period began, the lead didn’t last long for the Canadians as Brockville’s Dustin

Rinaldo evened the score at 1:05.

Carleton Place answered back at 7:17 when Owens netted his own goal, from Storjohann and Sheedy.

The Canadians increased their one goal lead in the final period with a short-handed effort from Connor Merkley, assisted by Logan Buchanan at 2:49. Alex Friesen added the team’s fourth goal at the

Carleton Place 3, Kanata 1 To start the week, the Canadians were in Kanata to take on the Lasers. No scoring in the opening period led to the Canadians striking first in the second, courtesy of Connor Merkley at 11:38. It was assisted by Logan Buchanan and Geoff Kitt.

What Will Your Legacy Be? One thing in life is certain, you will forever be remembered by the legacy you leave behind...

You have the potential to do and be remembered for something extraordinary!

This is why people in our community choose to leave a gift in their will to the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Planned gifts to the Carleton Place & District memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation are vital in making a lasting contribution to the future of patient care at the hospital. Simply stated, planned or legacy giving allows you to give back to the community through tax and estate planning. A planned gift does not impact your finances today, but it offers tax benefits now and tomorrow.

Residents of Carleton Place and the surrounding communities count on their local hospital to deliver the highest quality of care, while

maintaining small town personal service. Legacy gifts are one of the reasons we have such a great hospital in Carleton Place. Why? Bequests in your will take effect when you no longer need the money and, as a result, you can often afford to give much more in your will than you would during your lifetime. A single bequest can make a tremendous impact, and over the years, the hospital has been able to purchase state-of-theart and vital patient care equipment thanks to Legacy gifts.

publically listed securities (stocks, mutual funds or bonds), charitable remainder trust and personal assets through a gift in your will.

Planned giving enables you to make the gift of your lifetime. Talk to your family. Talk to your legal and financial advisors. Talk to us.

When planning for the future, consider including a gift to the CPDMH Foundation. The decision to leave a planned gift may take place at any stage of your life and can include life insurance,

To learn more about the benefits of planned giving or to request a copy of the CPDMH Foundation’s planned giving brochure, please call Robyn at 613-257-2200 x856 or email foundation@carletonplacehosp.com. All requests

CARD OF THANKS

McLEAN Sept. 20 was always a special day to the McLean family but this year it marks 2 months since we said goodbye to Ron at the Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club. The overwhelming friendship, love and support was truly amazing, from the owners and staff at the L.G.G.&C.C. who went above and beyond in providing a wonderful day, to the 200+ people who turned out to share a story, a Pepsi or one of Ron’s jokes (apparently some people actually found his jokes funny!) the love surrounded us. There are not enough thank yous or hugs to show how much your support has meant to us. From T.J. who continues to be my rock and shoulder to cry on, to our family, to friends and to friends who are like family, and to the shopkeeper who took time today to tell me “Your husband was such a kind man”... TO ALL OF YOU... your donations, support, visits, hugs and expressions of sympathy, confirmed the kind, generous man we knew as our husband, father and grampa. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we are humbled to accept your support, love and sympathy. Toby, George, Kingsley, Fred and Gib, no doubt Ron is playing a perfect game of golf where he is but I know he will be watching and whispering advice to you to improve your game... play nice!

O’NEILL

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Edrick O’Neill on Sunday, September 11, 2016. Born on July 8, 1940 in Gaspé, Québec.

Devoted husband of 54 years to his forever love, Sharon.

Father of Kelly (Paul), Shawn (Kathy), Robyn (Mark) and grandfather of Lindsay, Courtney, Matthew, Daniel and Maeve.

Ed loved fishing, skiing, golfing, playing guitar, woodworking, bird watching and helping his kids with home projects and repairs. He was an avid volunteer with the Kinsmen Club for 20 years, building with Habitat for Humanity, selling poppies for the Legion, construction with the rebuilding of the United Church and most recently, the Christmas Kettles campaign with the Salvation Army. There was never a time he wasn’t helping others. Ed never wanted to be centre stage, but always in the supporting cast helping others where needed. Many people came and went through the old A&P grocery store both customers and employees. Few left without being touched by how he treated them. He chose to invest heavily in family and people, caring little for the material things of this world. Strong and silent until the very end, without complaint, for what good could come from that. To celebrate Ed’s life, a service will be held on Saturday, September 24th at 10 am, at the Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls. In lieu of charitable donations, the family asks that you perform a random act of kindness in his memory. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls.

Tonia passed on Sunday September 18, 2016, leaving the world a better place for having been part of it. Survived by husband Dennis and children Peter and Paul; their wives Miranda and Maryse; and grandchildren Felicity, Cameron, Stella, Patrick and Liam. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Muriel and dear cousins Pam and Ken. She was a loving aunt to Donna, David, Erin, Steven, Chris, Leslie, Mike, Tom, Tim, Cathy, and Iris; and lifelong friend of Margo, Jane, Patrice, Rob, Rosemary, and many others she counted herself privileged to know. She was a caring and fierce advocate for all living things. Selfless almost to a fault she would never hesitate to give of herself if it meant she thought she could make someone’s, or something’s lot in life just a little bit better. Always there for each other - best friends for fifty years – she was Dennis’ life, and he was hers. Tonia was a loving mother and grandmother who relished every moment with her kids and grandkids, making every one feel special, and loved. Quirky, fun, and joyous of spirit she could turn any occasion - momentous or mundane - into a unique experience to look forward to. Passionate, with a love of the written word, she loved a good story about good people doing good things, or calling attention to injustices that needed correcting. She lived by and acted on her conviction. A loyal friend, she was kind and unassuming. She embodied the best of what we can be. She will be sorely missed.

Friends are invited to celebrate her life at the Stone Cellar (71 Gore St E, Perth, ON) on Saturday September 24th, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. In remembrance, contributions can be made to an animal welfare charity of your choice.

MAHON, Frank Joseph September 21, 2015 GOD’S GARDEN God looked around His garden And He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this Earth, and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you and Lifted you to res,t God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Love Betty, Paul, Kelly , Taylor , Mitch, Annette, Mikayla, Dakota, Lacey, Adam and Nola

GIFF, Ronald Clarence, “Butch”, “Uncle B” In loving memory of a dear Brother and Uncle who passed away September 28, 2006.

We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family

From page A/CP17

Team Trials 2 in Montreal (June 24-26) and the Canadian Sprint Canoe Kayak Championships in Dartmouth, N.S. (Aug. 30Sept.3).

“The kids have done a phenomenal job,” Redwood said. “Now they are representing our town as well as our country.”

She added, “Their perseverance and dedication has a lot to do with their coach.”

“Thomas, Justin and Lindsay will be competing as Team Canada,” Lester proudly said. “They will be wearing our country’s colours and racing against the world’s best juniors over in Hungary.”

Thomas and Justin departed for Hungary on Monday, Sept. 19. They return on Sept. 29.

“Lindsay is already overseas,” Lester explained.

“She qualified for an earlier set of international regattas based on her results at the Canadian Sprint Team Trials 2.”

Although Justin, Lindsay and Thomas have been adopted by the national team, their trip to Hungary is totally self-funded. As a result, they are relying heavily on the continued support of family, friends and peers as they chase their dreams and achieve their goals.

“These guys have also reached out to the community for support through GoFundMe,” Lester said.

The fundraising goal for Justin and Thomas is $3,500 each. Lindsay, because she has more competitions, is hoping to raise $5,000. The links to their GoFundMe pages are as follows: https://www.gofundme.com/justindobson ?ssid=743177933&pos=1 (Justin); https://www.gofundme.com/2gtbegdg?ssid =743175453&pos=1 (Lindsay); and https://www.gofundme.com/thomaspaq uette?ssid=743170767&p os=1 (Thomas).

Justin, Lindsay and Thomas all attend Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place.

“I am in Grade 12,” Justin said, “and Lindsay and Thomas are in Grade 11.”

Lester noted the time and energy that goes into training is quite extensive.

“They train all year round,” he said, “and during the summer months

they are working hard four or more hours a day.”

Thomas hopes to compete in the Olympics one day.

When asked what he enjoys about kayaking, he responded: “I like the competitiveness of it, as well as the dedication and work ethic involved.”

Justin wants to go to multiple Olympics and break some world records.

“However, my focus right now is doing well at the Olympic Hopes Regatta,” he said.

What does he enjoy about racing?

“If you do bad you know that only you can fix it and improve yourself,” Justin said, “and if you work hard you will succeed.”

Lester noted all three Carleton Place athletes have the key elements to being successful: strong work ethic, determination and drive.

“They know what they want,” he said, “and they are taking steps each day to get there.”

“It is inspiring to see athletes come out of the Carleton Place Canoe Club and excel,” mayor Louis Antonakos said.

“This is a catalyst,” deputy mayor Jerry Flynn added. “Your canoe club is a catalyst for great things.”

“These athletes have a strong sense of pride competing against the best in the world, especially coming from Carleton Place, a town with a small population,” Lester said. “It is pretty amazing!”

Canoe Kayak Canada is the national governing body for competitive paddling in Canada.

Both Justin and Thomas admitted being a little nervous about competing at the Olympic Hopes Trial; however, they are more excited about doing their best and making the community proud.

“This is just the beginning of their long international careers,” Lester said.

“They have big plans and goals.”

“Remember their names because they will be back here in the not so distant future,” he added.

The CPCC, located along the shores of the Mississippi River at 179 John St., has been in existence since 1893 and has provided the youth and general public of the area a great source of recreation and/or competitive racing for over a century.

Brett Pearson Run for Your Life Sept. 24 The Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee is proud to announce that the sixth annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life fundraiser will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24 to raise awareness about the issues of suicide, mental health and substance abuse, with a 5 km walk/run.

This event is held in memory of Carleton Place student, Brett Pearson, who lost his life to suicide when he was 16. Participants have the option of a 5 km walk or 5 km run. The starting point is at the Carleton Place Town Square. The walk/run is sponsored by the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee and SunLife Financial. This is your chance to join friends and family to help raise funds for suicide and mental health, two issues that affect one in five Canadian adults and substance abuse/misuse.

This year’s event will be supporting citizens in our communities, the Canadian Armed Forces and First Responders (police, firefighters, paramedics).

We are honoured this year

to have as guest speakers Honourable Senator Vernon White, Canada Senate and former Ottawa Police chief and Kathie Donovan former broadcaster from CTV Regional Contact and author of Inspiration in Action: A Woman’s Guide to Happiness a book that offers power tool principles to enrich your life.

Prior to this, he led the Regional Police Service in Durham and spent more than 20 years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, leaving as an assistant commissioner. White has been honoured with a number of awards and commendations over the years, including a Commissioners Commendation, a Queen’s Jubilee Medal, and a United Way Community Builder of the Year Award.

Kathie Donovan is considered broadcasting royalty in her adopted hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. She’s also creator of The Course in Happiness, The Courage workshop, Inspiration in

Action television and is producer of a one-day event called Refresh your Passion and its offspring, the Feed your Passion workshop series. Her second book Unconform: Harnessing the Radical Power of Courage is due for release in the fall of 2016.

A parade starts at 10 a.m. and leading the way, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 Carleton Place. Walkers and runners are welcome to participate in the parade headed by Brett’s mother Nicole and Brett’s brother Dennis. The parade will travel down the main street, Bridge St. in Carleton Place and return to Town Square for the beginning of the 5 km walk/run.

Entertainment will take place from noon to 1 p.m. with the duo Sounds Sweet. David Hauraney and Jennifer Hoy specialize in songs from the ‘60s to present; music to soothe the soul and refresh the spirit, heal the heart and tickle the funny bone.

The Carleton Place & District Community Band are hard at work rehearsing for their upcoming concert of movie and Broadway hits, set for Oct. 1 at the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium.

Under the direction of its new music director, Gary Payne, the Carleton Place and District Community Band will present a concert of movie and Broadway hits. The concert will be on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium.

The concert will include many familiar show tunes such as old favourites like I Could Have Danced All Night, which was sung by Julie Andrews in the original Broadway production of My Fair Lady and then by Marni Nixon dubbing for Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 film.

And there will be newer hits such as a medley from the long-running and soon-toclose Broadway hit show Jersey Boys about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. As a special feature, some numbers will have vocal soloists with the band.

By request, guest musicians for this concert will be the wind quartet Event Horizon, which also guested at the band’s spring 2015 concert.

This quartet of flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, and alto sax will play a variety of show tunes including selections from The Music Man and Show Boat.

The band is a direct descendant of the Carleton Place Brass Band formed in the 1860s. The band is a group of volunteers from teen to much older, playing at many community events such Canada Day and the Remembrance Day, as well as presenting concerts like the Oct. 1 concert and an annual Christmas concert in December.

Tickets are $10 and are available from band members, at the door, or with cash at The Green Counter Boutique, 18 Mill St., Carleton Place.

Celtfest organizers reflect on 20th anniversary, look ahead to Oct. 5 AGM Almonte Celtfest is inviting all interested persons to their Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the Almonte Old Town Hall on Bridge Street, Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m..

This gathering aims to provide a summary of the 20th anniversary year of Almonte Celtfest held July 8 to 10, as well an opportunity to look forward to the next festival scheduled for the second weekend in July 2017. There will be a report from the chairpersons, Jane Torrance and Gavin Donnelly, a treasurer’s report from Nicole Pederson, and opportunity for observers to provide their feedback about Celtfest.

Planning for the 2017 Celtfest will begin with identification of volunteers interested and willing to serve on the organizing committee.

This year’s Celtfest was a huge success in spite of threats of thunderstorms and a steady rain all day Saturday. Pub Night in the Park was an exciting kick-off to the 20th anniversary weekend when many came out to Gemmill Park to listen to great music under sunclouded skies. On Saturday, the Cavanagh second stage had

to be moved to the Almonte Arena due to the inclement weather, but the main stage show went on as planned.

Volunteers working in Gemmill Park kept spirits high, vendors served up lots of warm food, and the Beer Gardens saw brisk business from loyal Celtfest supporters. Sunday dawned insipidly, but sunnier skies prevailed and the crowd swelled. Thanks to the generous donations at the admission gate, and to lots of financial support for the raffle fundraisers, Celtfest exceeded its commitments well enough to pay all the bills, with seed money saved for the future.

The organizing committee, led by Torrance and Donnelly, wishes to thank all the loyal sponsors of Celtfest, many of whom have been there for more than 20 years, the volunteers who have diligently and tirelessly behind the scenes over the past years, and on the weekend itself, and the wonderful guests who come out, despite rain and threats of thunder and lightening, to enjoy the fabulous lineup of performers.

The Annual General Meeting on Oct. 5 from 7 to 9 p.m.

EAT LOCAL

Carleton Place

I opened the cafe about two and a half years ago. There have been many challenges and changes but my biggest surprise has been the overwhelming positive response and acceptance from our customers the community. It’s obvious CP was ready for a different kind of dining experience.

We offer a very unique experience indeed! Not only are we a full service coffee bar but we offer a vegetarian buffet too. Customers create their own lunch or dinner, choosing exactly what they want, having as little or as much as they wish. Its fun, it’s healthy, it’s delicious! We also recently introduced our fresh, made to order pasta bar. Customers choose from 3 daily specials which the chef prepares as they wait. It’s so delightful - people are loving it!

We also make fresh juices every day, offer kombucha on tap and tons of homemade desserts — all baked in house. And of course we have lots gluten free and vegan options.

I feel we’ve created a special place where our customers feel comfortable, relaxed and happy. It’s a beautiful balance of contemporary and rustic, filled with light and will make you smile. We’re so lucky that they have chosen Ginger Cafe to be a part of their day.

fort of many volunteers. This year, a number of the organizing committee are stepping down to pursue other interests, so recruitment of people will-

ing to help plan and execute the 2017 festival are crucial to the survival of this much loved festival.

All are welcome to come to the AGM to see what goes into the planning of this hugely successful annual festival, and to offer your assistance as able!

If you love Celtfest and want to see it continue, please come out on Oct. 5, or call Gavin Donnelly at 613-229-0692 for more information or to volunteer your time.

LLOCALLY! MEET DANIEL HEAD CHEF AT CHESSWOOD

Chesswood is mainly a “from scratch” restaurant with a menu that varies from general comfort food such as meatloaf to something a little more adventurous like Wild Boar Gnocchi. We source as many ingredients as we can right here at home. Each Saturday I shop local buying produce for the week from our Farmers Market, as well as local honey, maple syrup, apples, proteins for our charcuterie boards and cheese. You can’t beat the quality of products that are merely hours old by the time they hit the plate. The taste speaks for itself.

We try to do as much local as we can to support the community that supports us.

I chose to work locally for a number of reasons. One was to be able to utilize all the products available locally and show people what can be done with the items. Every Chef wants to create dishes with the best ingredients possible and this is much easier when they are showing up by the truck full to your back door. I also love the small town feel. My wife and I knew we wanted to raise our children within a great community such as Carleton Place.

The culinary field is usually a pretty thankless job but I find in a small town it is quite the opposite. Working locally you actually can become friends with your customers. You just can’t get that in the city.

A vast majority of people who live in Carleton Place seem to have a misconception that you need to travel to the city for good food and quality service. We want to show them that this is far from the truth. Exceptional food and excellent service is available right in your own backyard at Chesswood.

MEET JAMIE OWNER OF LAW & ORDERS Keeping it local is the key with me! Three years ago I embarked on my biggest goal of owning a restaurant. My focus was to keep it small so I could feel connected with the customers. I enjoy getting to know all that visit Law & Orders and it is important to me to maintain the small town charm of Carleton Place. Our signatureburgers are made fresh and fries are cut fresh daily. The option of gluten free and a vegan free diet are also available.

Charitable work is very important to Law & Orders. We give back to many organizations in need such as Interval House, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Shriners, local schools, the Carleton Place rink as well as other local community events. My Father always said, “Treat your community right and they will give back at a time of need”. These words rang true to me and my family this past year when our restaurant was lost to an explosion. The community was there providing us with support that will never be forgotten. As we get ready to rebuild I have made it a priority to only have local builders, electricians, plumbers and excavators on the job.

While awaiting the restaurants new building to be complete come visit us in our temporary trailer for the best burgers and fries around. (Trip Advisor rated us #4 of 55 places to eat locally in Carleton Place). Around here fresh is the LAW!

organization was established in 1989.

The foundation was responsible for the creation of the bronze statue of Naismith which proudly sits on Mill Street and also handles operations of the Naismith Museum at the Mill of Kintail.

“The museum sees 8,100 visitors annually and it’s growing,” Pelot said, indicating it’s a diverse group of visitors ranging from tourists to youth.

Dignitaries have also visited the space, including NBA Canada representatives, the Swedish and United States ambassadors, as well as Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities and members of the famous Harlem Globetrotters.

“We’re also active internationally and a number of international tourists visiting the area come to see the museum,” he said.

Pelot acknowledged the efforts of the foundation board, making special note of past president Al Rae who passed away at the end of August, for moving the organization ahead and outlining priority areas to work on over the next two years. A new streamlined website has been created, the foundation’s bylaws have been updated, they’ve made strides in private sector fundraising, as well.

It will be a busy fall with activities set to ramp up for the 125th anniversary. Pelot announced a birthday party is being planned at Almonte Old Town Hall for Nov. 13. The foundation is also collaborating with Sean Isaacs of Alliance Coin and Banknote on a Naismith medallion honouring the anniversary.

A Friends of the Naismith Museum sponsorship campaign is set to launch soon with memberships available for $20 per person. “We’re trying to pay more attention, going forward, to diversifying our revenue,” Pelot commented.

The foundation is also looking for collaboration opportunities, including a possible council liaison with the board in order to enhance communication. Other areas being explored are increased promotional opportunities and volunteer recruitment. A digital scanner will be purchased soon to archive and digitize the entire Naismith collection.

“When will you be wanting a council board member?” asked mayor Shaun McLaughlin.

“Anytime,” said Pelot. “We meet monthly and would be happy to have a member of council join us at any time.”
