McLaughlin won't seek re-election ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com After eight years of serving his A community, Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin has announced he will not run for re-election this fall. McLaughlin issued a news release to this newspaper the morning of April 30, indicating that because Tuesday, May 1, was the first day municipal candidates can file ffor the October election, "I do not believe in keeping people guessing; so, I am declaring I will not seek reelection." Noting that he never had the intention of becoming a "career politician," McLaughlin said he had pretty much made up his mind on the matter two years ago. "Two terms on municipal council are plenty," he said. " . So, it is with a sense of fulfillment that I leave elected office knowing that I have made my contribution."

Have you ever wondered what a billion-year-old rock looks like? It might surprise you that when driving through the rugged regions of Lanark and Renffrew counties the rocks you see along the roadside are all about this age, give or take a few hundred million years. The annual spring walk to the top of Blueberry Mountain at the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust's (MMLT) clifffLAND property on May 6 this year will include a side trip down the Porcupine Trail to view some of these ancient rocks. Last year we set up over a black finegrained metamorphosed volcanic flow. This year Bob Betcher, MMLT's resident hydrogeologist/geologist, will show us some marble, once limestone in a shallow sea but subsequently uplifted and altered by heat and pressure. The type of marble at cliffLAND is slightly soluble in acidic precipitation and over time has developed Karst dissolution features such as caves and sinkholes which can form important habitat for bats, snakes and other creatures. We invite you to join us on May 6 for a W ffascinating look to the distant past on your trek to the top of Blueberry Mountain. Registration for the hike to the lookout, including the geology tour, is at 10 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are ffree. Children under 12 will be awarded

certificates for making the climb to the lookout. Refreshments will be served after the walk. This event is the second in our new Discover the Wild series. To learn more about this event and other events in the series, visit mmlt.ca/events.

Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Brightside. Turn left on to the French Line Road. Drive toward Flower Station and watch for the right turn when you get to Joe's Lake. Just be-

f fore you reach Flower Station, turn right on to Hills of Peace Road. A map is available at mmlt.ca/events. For more information, please contact Howard or Jean Clifford at 613-259-3412. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust

COUNCIL

The Eastern Ontario Leadership Council (EOLC), a multi-organization partnership tasked with advancing regional economic development opportunities, welcomes the announcement from the Province of Ontario on the $135,000 funding grant to reffresh and plan for implementation of the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy. Minister Jeff Leal, of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Afffairs, joined numerous elected officials and economic development partners from across eastern Ontario during the announcement held Monday in the county of Hastings' council chambers. With eastern Ontario being the ffirst region in Ontario to undertake this endeavour as part of the province's regional economic development planning process, the Ministry of Economic Development and Growth is providing the funding and

any required project support. The EOLC consists of ffive major partners that together represent the various sectors across the region: the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus, the EastW ern Ontario Mayors' Caucus, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, the Ontario East Economic Development Commission and Community Futures Ontario East. The partnership was launched in 2015 following the release of the initial regional strategy, designed to tackle issues regarding the economic performance of the region and pursue opportunities to maintain and enhance its economic prosperity. This funding will advance the EOLC's ongoing work, which began in 2016 with the creation of three working groups. These groups are responsible for implementation planning and priority setting, while engaging a broad cross-section of public and private

sector stakeholders. They represent the three pillars of the strategy, being: workfforce development and deployment; technology integration and innovation; and integrated, intelligent transportation systems. "The EOLC is a unique organization in Ontario, ffounded on the principle of promoting regional economic development in collaboration with the many municipalities and stakeholders across eastern Ontario, which represents about 1.2 million residents," stated EOLC co-chair Leslie O'Shaughnessy, mayor of the City of Cornwall. "We thank the province and Minister Leal for recognizing the EOLC's work and providing funds to move forward in such a positive manner." The refresh of the 10-year Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy will reflect recent economic considerations and incorporate the EOLC's existing regional work.

Newest mental wellness room opens in Lanark County

With the continued success of two mental wellness "drop-in" rooms already in Lanark County comes the opening of a third room just in time for Mental Health Week (May 7-11). After a popular six-month run of a mental wellness room (MWR) in Carleton Place and Almonte, comes the latest addition to open in Perth on May 3. The purpose of the MWRs is to offer fellowship, support and comfort once a week to those people 18 years and older recovering from a mental health condition. It's a great place to share and spend an afternoon with people living with a similar experience. The rooms offer afternoon refreshments (partially funded this year through a grant from Lanark County United Way), all while playing games or simply sitting around a table chatting how your week has been in a safe and confidential place. All rooms contain at least one peer supporter (originally trained with Lanark County Mental Health through a grant from Bell Let's Talk) who are available to listen if needed. Some comments from participants: "This room provides a comfort zone without feeling judged;" "After coming to the room for four months I have never laughed so much and felt this comfortable with my mental health recovery;" "I was really nervous to come to the mental wellness room at first, but felt relieved and welcomed after being here;" "The room got me to open up about myself when I did not expect to;" "I feel the room provides a place where I can unwind and destress;" "I like where it is a place I can go and escape being judged;" and "I like that there is very little structure to the room and you are not expected to do anything except have fun." Mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, etc. are hard to understand or handle especially on your own. If you are suffering from a mental health issue and need professional help, then contact Lanark County Mental Health in Smiths Falls at 613-283-2170. However, if you are working toward your mental health recovery, now there are places in Lanark County you can go to feel better understood. If you wish to be a part of this experience, while feeling safe and welcomed in a non-judgmental environment, then drop in to one of the three MWRs nearest you. Perth (newest) location: Unit 10-C, 8 Herriott St. Held on Thursdays from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact asiebel55@gmail.com. Carleton Place location: 351 Bridge St. at Carambeck Community Centre. Held on Fridays from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact ddrolling696@gmail.com. Almonte location: 3 Rosamond St. at Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (second floor). Held on Tuesdays from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact pcrcmiller@storm.ca. If you live in Smiths Falls, there is a similar drop-in centre called the LINK, which can be reached by calling 613-284-4608. Submitted by Patrick Miller

BBBS tees off May 26

After such a long winter, plan to get out on the golf course for a good cause! Mapleview in Perth will once again be the location ffor the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County's annual golf tournament on May 26 to raise funds for local mentoring programs. 3M Perth is the title sponsor, supporting the local agency and their goal of ensuring that "every child in Lanark County that needs a mentor has a mentor." The fun-filled day is a shotgun start and the $85 registration fee includes a continental breakfast, barbecue lunch, a cart and 18 holes. Register early and save $5. There is a chance to bid on WestJet tickets on the silent auction table among many other great finds. Registration details can be ffound on the agency's website - www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca. Sponsorship help increase the bottom line for the agency, and there are many options available, including hole sponsors, food

sponsors, and more. It is great visibility for local businesses, and great support for an agency helping kids right here at home. Mentoring programs are about prevention and building resilience. The research indicates that by providing children and youth with positive role models, mentoring programs demonstrate to them that they are valued, and that they possess the strength to overcome the obstacles they will undoubtedly face as they grow older. Mentoring also plays an important role in the future direction a child will decide to take later on in life, paving the way to a future full of possibilities. The Boston Consulting Group research shows that for every $1 invested in Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs, $18 is returned to society. Children who have been in mentoring programs see real, positive change. The children involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters go on to graduate from high school

at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average. Seventy-eight per cent of those children who came ffrom a social assistance background no longer rely on this form of income and a disproportionately high number of former Littles graduate from college or university compared to others in their age group. On the other hand, children who are denied the benefit of a positive role model are children who will continue to be deemed "at risk," and not children "on the brink of success." Supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters can have big results. It can be as simple as a game of golf. For more information F about the tournament, or about other ways to get involved with Big Brothers v Big Sisters of Lanark County, please call 613-283-0570 or visit their website at www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

ABOUT US

Keep safe against ticks and Lyme disease As daytime temperatures rise above 4°C, ticks become active. If bitten by a tick you may be at risk of getting Lyme disease. Ticks are present throughout the entire Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties area and their life cycle now starts in April and can continue through to November, as long as the temperature stays at least four degrees above freezing. Taking precautions will help to reduce your risk of getting bitten by a tick. If you dress in light-coloured clothing, it makes adult ticks and nymphs (small stage of the tick), easier to see when they are on you as they are darker in colour. Do a tick check when you or your children return inside. Don't forget your pets - even if they don't go outdoors (like cats), anyone can bring them inside and they can find your indoor pet. If possible have someone check you from the back, or hop in a quick shower to help remove any unattached ticks. You can also put your clothes in a hot dryer for several minutes, which has been found to kill ticks. It is important to know that not all ticks carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. Lyme disease transmission depends on the length of time the infected tick is attached. Ticks that are removed quickly and have been attached for less than 24 hours are not likely to transfer the bacteria. However, if the tick has been attached for longer than a day, you may be at an increased risk and it is recommended that you consult your health care provider. If you find a fat tick, it is an indication that it has been feeding for a longer period of time and you should provide this information to your health care provider. Lyme disease symptoms can range from a bullseye rash around the bite area, to headache, fever and muscle/joint pain. Ticks often feed on deer or geese, but don't infect them very often. The tick that spreads Lyme disease has a two-year life cycle, and feeds once in each of its three life stages larvae, nymph, and adult. Symptoms can appear from three days to several weeks following a tick bite. They include: fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, or swollen lymph nodes. Consult your health care provider as soon as you experience any of these symptoms.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • #MeToo play shows misogyny remains problem Dear Editor, Thanks for covering the Burning Passions Theatre Listen UP! play on the #MeToo movement. Our week T was book-ended by the misogynist-inspired Toronto attack and a UN report concluding such violence in Canada remains a "serious, pervasive and systematic problem." Dubravka Simonovic, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, directed Ottawa to W adopt a National Action Plan (NAP) on violence against women and enact laws to ensure women are protected from violence equally across all jurisdictions.

She noted "the dire shortage of shelters for women and children escaping violence, and lack of affordable public housing, including transitional housing and second stage accommodation and employment opportunities." Such issues were discussed in sessions during our tour. The need is real for interim safe spaces and longer term affordable housing so economic circumstances do not chain vulnerable individuals to dangerous situations. Also, a correction: Mary Cowan, our stage manager, was not the playwright. That is Laurel Smith, who based it on stories by Cowan, Ruby Davidson, Felix Evangelho, Ryan Kreissler, Winston R Mavraganis, and Lu Williams. Julie Lalonde, who recently conducted a workshop on consent attended by

Resident wants action on potholes Dear Editor: I laughed at your recent editorial cartoon pertaining to our potholes that are plaguing the streets of Smiths Falls and parking lot and driveways as well. The Chambers Street plaza: the front of the plaza was band-aided last year and is showing signs of breaking apart. Bay Street down to Centre Street, between Giant Tiger and Benson's is holier than a bible! Centre Street from Gile Street over to the back of Giant Tiger plaza is a minef field!

I wonder what people who have to navigate their way to Rob Roy's, the bowling alley, or the laundromat, think? To whomever owns the T property in and around the Chambers Street plaza: a "pothole filling frenzy" or a complete fix-up would be nice. Some of the potholes are huge! Is the Town of Smiths Falls going to fill the other potholes on the street they are responsible for? Some of them were never filled from last year. It seems my taxes keep rising, the money should be put to good use! It's bad enough the gas prices and the endless "taxes" associated with such angry drivers. Having smoother streets to get there may appease residents. Dacin Jarvis, Smiths Falls S

COUNCIL

9 | Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF | Thursday, May 3, 2018

County council sets 2018 taxation policies Council has passed bylaws related to 2018 taxation policy, including tax ratios, as well as the levy apportionment to local municipalities. In December, council passed its budget with a levy of $33.3 million and a net tax increase of 1.4 per cent, which is collected through the towns and townships. Chief administrative offficer Kurt Greaves explained at a corporate services committee meeting earlier this month that council apportions the tax burden between the various tax classes, determines how much of the levy comes ffrom each municipality and decides on the mandatory continuation of tax protection (capping) for the commercial and industrial tax classes. When the levy is established, council then sets tax ratios, which distribute taxes between the various classes (e.g. industrial, commercial, residential). "This is done in consulta-

tion with local municipal treasurers, and the recommendation is to adopt revenue-neutral tax ratios to ensure reassessment does not shift the tax burden between the tax classes," Greaves said. The county will refund its portion of landfill taxation to local municipalities, which was a new property tax and tax ratio introduced last year. Mr. Greaves noted the number of properties afffected by the capping rebates following reassessment has declined steadily since 2009, with only nine properties in 2017. The capping bylaw includes all provisions available to reduce the number of capped properties. The county portion of the tax bill is only one of three components on the tax bill, with the local municipality and education portion making up the balance. For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, county chief administrative officer, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101.

Change to Inaugural Meeting Process Council has approved an amendment to the procedural bylaw that changes the inaugural meeting process to include a nomination period for the position of warden and committee chairs, effective this year. At a corporate services committee meeting last month, clerk Leslie Drynan outlined the process, which varies depending on whether it is a municipal election year. In a nonmunicipal election year, nomination fforms will be provided to councillors on Oct. 1 for the position of warden and/or committee chair(s). The forms require signatures of the nominee and two county councillors (as mover and seconder) and must be submitted to the clerk at the first regular council meeting in October. At the second regular meeting in October, council will receive a report on valid nominations. If an election is needed,

voting will take place by secret ballot at the first meeting in November. The official swearing-in of the warden and chairs occurs at the inaugural meeting, held each year on the first Tuesday in December. In a municipal election year, the fforms would be provided to the certified newly elected head and deputy head of council in each of the local municipalities. Nominations close Nov. 15, and the forms require the signatures of the nominee and two members of county council-elect. The nomination report will be provided at the second meeting in November, with an acclamation or an election by secret ballot occurring at the inaugural meeting after declarations of office have been made by the councillors. For more information, contact Leslie Drynan, clerk, at 1-888-9LANARK, ext. 1502. Upcoming Meetings â&#x20AC;˘ County council, Wednesday, May 9, 5 p.m. W

10 OPINION

Carleton Place Canadians in fifth consecutive Fred Page Cup Jeff Maguire writes about the local Jr. A hockey team's success Over the course of the past five seasons no team in Canadian Jr. A hockey has been as successful as the Carleton Place Canadians. This season the fourtime Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) champions finished the campaign with 53 regulation time victories in 62 games. Their regular season win total and the 110 points they accumulated were the best results in the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). The Calgary-based CJHL represents 130 teams in 10 leagues across the country and that also encompasses some clubs in the northern United States.

JEFF MAGUIRE Column Going back to the beginning of Carleton Place's amazing run of success, which began in the 2013-2014 campaign, the high flying Canadians have recorded a phenomenal 249 wins in just five seasons. Heading into this year's post season Carleton Place had won 12 consecutive league playoff series. They defeated Rockland Nationals in five games in the quarter-finals and then swept a good Hawkesbury Hawks team in the semifinals. That ran their post season

winning streak to 14 straight series triumphs. As it turned out there wouldn't be a 15th straight! For the third straight year Carleton Place was matched against an excellent Ottawa Junior Senators hockey club (Sens were a strong second during the regular season). It proved to be third time lucky for Junior Sens. They shocked the favoured Canadians in five games to win their first league title in 16 years. The margins in the series were razor thin. Each game was decided by one goal and Sens captured two contests in overtime. Personally I think that after losing two straight Bogart Cup finals to Canadians the Junior Sens were simply hungrier. But wait, the season is not over. Not for either team! This season Ottawa is playing host to the Fred

Page Cup (FPC) Eastern Canadian Jr. A championship tournament. That competition began yesterday (May 3) at Jim Durrell Sports Complex in south Ottawa. The tournament also ffeatures the Maritime champion Edmundston Blizzard from New Brunswick (formerly Dieppe Commandos) and perennial Quebec winners Longueuil. Because the CCHL is hosting this year a second league team qualifies in order to complete the ffour team format. As league runners up and regular season champions, Carleton Place is a very worthy entry. They opened against Longueuil Wednesday and tonight W (Thursday) at 7:30 there is a much anticipated rematch between Canadi-

ans and Junior Sens. Carleton Place finishes the round-robin portion of the event against Edmundston Friday afternoon at 3:30. This is Canadians fifth straight year at FPC and they hold the tournament record with three straight titles from 2014-2016. The ffinal goes Sunday at 4 p.m. with the winner advancing to the Royal Bank Cup (RBC) Canadian Jr. A championship tournament. This year's showdown is being hosted by Chilliwack Chiefs of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League May 12-20. No matter what happens at FPC this week Carleton Place Canadians' coach, GM and owner Jason Clarke, his coaching staff and the entire team deserve tremendous

credit. Going into the 2017-2018 campaign Carleton Place had won four straight Bogart Cups, appeared in four consecutive Eastern Canadian championship finals, winning three of them and competed in three straight RBC tournaments (2014-2016), making it all the way to the national championship game in both 2014 and 2015. Carleton Place only entered the 57-year-old CCHL in 2009. Their success in just nine seasons of Jr. A hockey is unprecedented! – Jeff Maguire is a career journalist based in Carleton Place, Ont.

coasts of our vast Canada a few times to road test those songs, earning a name and even a moniker, "Lioness of Lanark." The music industry, these days, is not for the ffaint of heart. It's lonely out there, often thankless when starting out, necessitating growth of a thick skin to survive. I'm proud to say the Listening Room Series is hosting one of our own successful pups, Ali McCormick on Saturday, May 12, 7 p.m. at the Perth Restaurant for the CD release of her That Place You Know, her third. Ali grew up off the grid with her family, learning to appreciate nature and music, developing her ffiercely independent spirit and an eye for unique characters and stories that have fed her songwriting mind. I remember when she started out as a kid, many years ago, at open mics around town and the surrounding area. Dedicating herself, working part time jobs to help pay her way, earning the respect of many throughout via an ever expanding tour schedule. She's also donated her skills to countless community ffundraising efforts, ever honing her stagecraft. Ali is an independent musician, in that she has no record company behind her. She proudly pays her own way, thus maintaining her integrity, living modestly, hours spent booking her own tours, studio time and players to augment her sound. Her professionalism is impressive. She's dedicated herself to touching others through her creativity. She's lovin' the ride ... Matthew Armitage (Ramblin' Valley Band) - guitar, Pascal DeWinn - pedal steel, mandolin, harmonica, Laura Greenberg - bass will be augmenting, each in their own way. So now it's our chance to congratulate one of our own and hear the results

OPINION

Older and wiser sibling full of kindness, columnist Mary Cook writes Audrey seemed to know how to fix everything that went wrong in my small world. Much older and certainly much wiser, I could go to my sister with whatever care I carried on my narrow shoulders. She always had a solution. That Saturday was no exception. Bad Marguirite had almost made me cry at school the day before when she commented on my flour bag underwear and my blouse made out of a wellbleached sugar bag. Mother had put rickrack braid around the little collar, and I thought it was beautiful, trying not to think where it had originally come from. Well, Marguirite had no W trouble reminding me. Her underwear came from Walker's Store in Renfrew! W And certainly her mother would never use a sugar bag ffor a blouse! It was all I could do to hold back the tears, and when Audrey saw that

MARY COOK Column something was still bothering me when we were doing our Saturday chores, she took me by the hand and led me to the swing in the grape arbour. We rocked for a while, W and then she said she found that when anything was bothering her, she would think of something that made her feel good, like picturing the money she made selling seeds along the Northcote Side Road, and what she was going to do with it. Or thinking about the new summer Eaton's catalogue that had just arrived in the mail. I tried my best to think of something, but wasn't having much luck, and then Audrey said, "You know what makes me happy? It's when Miss Crosby comes out on the step in the morning and rings the big brass bell. Now, it may

sound silly to you, Mary, but let's think about all the bells we have in our lives." I thought of the cluster of bells that hung around our horses' neck in the winter, and the sheer joy of hearing them on a frosty winter's night sitting wrapped in blankets on the flat-bottomed sleigh. Even though it was the beginning of summer, I could hear the bells in my mind. And a big brass bell hung at our back door, with a clapper tied inside with a piece of rope, and when Father and the brothers were out in the barns or the fields, and Mother had dinner, or supper ready to put on the table, she would stand at the door and clang the bell until someone appeared, waving that they had heard and would come along. Sometimes, she let me ring the dinner bell which made me ffeel very important. Audrey and I laughed and said she thought the bell Father hung around Bossy's neck so that he could always tell where the cows were, certainly wasn't much to look at. It was made of tin, not brass, and Bossy, slow as molasses in January, hardly ever got a ring out of it when

ON GARAGES/ SHEDS

she moved. And then my sister asked me what I heard when I went into Renfrew. And of course, I heard the deep sound of a bell coming from somewhere, I knew not where, but guessed it was ffrom one of the huge churches, probably the Catholic church, since it was the biggest church in town. How I loved it when it chimed the hour of the day. I could never figure out where the chimes came ffrom, but I thought how lucky were the people who lived in town and who could hear that bell every hour. Before I knew it, my mind was rid of the thoughts of Marguirite's biting words, and as Audrey pushed the swing back and forth with her feet, I felt I was just about the luckiest girl in all of Renfrew County. I may not have store bought underwear and clothes, but I had something far more precious than bad Marguirite, an only child, that couldn't be bought at Walker's Store. I had my sister Audrey. – Mary Cook is a longtime writer with several books in print and in electronic ccopies. Email her at wick2@sympatico.ca.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take a step back and analyze your current situation before making any other moves. You may be barking up the wrong tree, and you will need a new approach.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may have to take someone’s word on something or put your ultimate trust in an individual this week. It may be challenging, but let down your guard.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Various factors may be clouding your decision-making skills, Sagittarius. If you’re not sure what to do, trust someone else who has always supported you.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there may be many things you wish to say to someone special, but you just do not know how to find the words. You can convey much more through actions.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You need to find firm footing in your career, Virgo; otherwise, you may suffer from lack of direction. Start putting out feelers and begin networking.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is good to have a sense of humor, and you may need a little extra patience at work this week. When times get tough, surround yourself with lighthearted people.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s in your nature to want to get to the root of every problem and find out the answers to all the puzzles, Scorpio. This can be tiring, but when you’re determined it’s essential.

The Green Gr Light campaign takes place from May 7th until May 13th as part of an Ontario-wide eff ef ort to help eliminate stigma and raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by young people. In 2017, our local Child and Youth Y Mental health agency, agency Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, Y with the support of local municipalities was able to start a local conversation about Child and Youth Y Mental Health.The municipalities of Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills all lit up prominent local landmarks in green light, joining over 70 Ontario other communities that lite buildings and landmarks including the CN To T wer and Niagara Falls. This year again, municipalities and community partners are once again committing to light prominent buildings across the county in support of the Green Gr Light campaign. K vin Clouthier, Ke Clouthier Executive Director at Open Doors says,“Such campaigns add to a national conversation that reduces the shame associated with mental health issues while contributing to the development of necessary programs.This eff ef ort serves also as a reminder to people of the presence of the 1 in 5 children and youth in their community who are living daily with the impact of mental health issues.”

Mental Health Week May 7-13, 2018

Mental health is about more than mental illness

It’s more than being happy all the time. It’s about feeling good about who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life’s highs and lows. Everyone deserves to feel well, whatever their mental health experience. And we all need a support system to lean on. Little kids have a lot of big feelings, ones that can change rapidly and dramatically from the time it takes you to say “Would you like a strawberry jam sandwich?” to “Oh dear, we only have the ends of the bread loaf left.” But they can’t always express their feelings in words, so they often do so in tantrums and tears. Prodding from Mom and Dad—calm down, let’s talk about it, tell me about your feelings, are you upset?— only makes them more frustrated.

My feelings come and go, and all feelings are okay to have! I can think of safe things to do with my feelings.

Lanark Animal Welfare Society offers longtime residents for adoption This week we would like to feature some of our cats who have been overlooked too many times because they took a little while to get used to humans. They've been at the shelter too long. Our volunteers and staff do what they can to socialize these cats with huge success. Now they just need a person or family who would open their heart and home to continue the efforts we already started. If you are looking forward to really make a difference in a cats' life, then please come and meet following cats: Hi there Ivory here. I arrived at LAWS early January on one of those blistery cold days with my two kittens who have been adopted since. I was pretty scared at first but I now know humans can be really nice. They feed me, play with me and even cuddle me. What a treat. I am getting used to being spoiled here. They told me that they're trying really hard to find a forever home for me, too. Can't wait who will come to meet me to adopt me. I am quite comfortable here, but a home to myself would be very exciting. I don't mind being with other cats either. Would you please come and get me? I am at LAWS sharing my space with a few other cats. Albert is a lovely tabby boy with striking markings. He's almost one year old and has been with us since before Christmas. Although he can be a little shy, he does quickly warm up when he trusts you. It's hard for us to understand why he's not adopted yet. Albert is ready to be embraced and you can find

him at LAWS in one of the cat-runs. Nester has been with us since November. This handsome, male, silver grey cat is patiently waiting for his permanent home. He will need a quiet space and a loving family. Maybe best in a home where the children are a little older, or no children. Lately he's more involved meeting potential adopters. We think he's just hoping to get a chance of being invited into a amorous home. Often cats choose their new owners ... could it be you? Why not check him out, he is currently residing in the large cat run area at LAWS with other cats. Babe ... this lovely nineyear-old female cat was surrendered to LAWS because her owner was moving into a retirement home. Sadly there were no pets allowed and Babe is now safely at LAWS. She is adjusting to her new, hopefully temporary, home and you often find her under the sink on a bunch of clean towels. She is very sweet but a little withdrawn as it's quite the change to go to LAWS from a loving home. We're absolutely certain that when she's invited into her new forever home she'll be making you very happy with her presence. Please meet Babe at LAWS. There was a lot of splashing going on last weekend in Almonte at Pet Valu during the National Adoption weekend; 20 dogs came in for a wash or a nail-trim; eight pets got a microchip and all five available kittens were adopted. Thank you all who made it a great success.

No matter how advanced your current ride is, or how good the engine oil system is, routine oil and filter changes are the most common service you will need to have done. Depending on your automaker's recommendations and the distance you drive (along with the conditions), you'll probably visit a lube shop three or four times every year. And if you've ever watched your service tech complete this task, you may ask yourself, "What's so hard about this job?" Truth be told, routine oil and filter service isn't that technically difficult if you've done a few before and if you have the right equipment and tools. So if you're thinking of taking on this task for the first time, here are a few tips. If you plan on using your home driveway or garage, consider that many municipalities have bylaws that prohibit doing automotive repairs on residential properties. These are mostly complaint-driv-

For just about any ride other than a sky-jacked SUV or truck, you'll need some type of device to let you lift the front of the vehicle. Stay away from those press-metal ramps. First, if your auto has a low-riding front air dam or bumper cover, they'll damage it. More importantly, they are extremely unsafe and easy to overshoot and are prone to tipping. A proper floor jack and two axle stands are the only way to go. If you're working on an asphalt-paved driveway, even axle stands will need some support from a thickness of wood, to prevent the legs from sinking in and tipping. Of course, you'll need an oil-filter wrench and six-point socket for the drain plug. Rather than

the strap-type filter wrenches, get the adapter that fits onto a socket drive; they're much easier to use in tight spaces. A drain pan is a must, and many automotive hardware stores offer ones that are incorporated into carry containers that are great for collecting and safely disposing of your old oil. And then you're only left to purchase the oil and ffilter and any other fluids you might need to top things up. Even if you're a smart shopper, this list will cost you $350 to $400 and more at a minimum. But if you take care of these tools and equipment they should outlast your vehicle. A final note: the average labour charge for most oilchange outlets is around $20, so you'd have to do about 20 oil changes to recoup your investment. And none of this takes into account any risk to your wheeled investment if you make a mistake anywhere along the way - nor the satisfaction of doing it yourself. – If you have any questions, opinions or stories on anything automotive, please drop me a line, by email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com with "Question ffor the Car Counsellor" on the subject line.

"Saturday was a huge success," Balu Kuriya told the Canadian Gazette. "We had over 250 visitors...with many positive responses." Kids World's grand opening ceremony will take place on May 19 at 10 a.m., with a number of dignitaries expected to be in attendance.

"Congratulations to Balu Kuriya and family!" Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn exclaimed. He called the opening of Kids World "long overdue." "Kids World is a great addition to our town," Flynn added. "It will definitely attract many people to our community."

NEWS

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com It's been eight long years, but the Enerdu Generating Station is finally open for business. The grand opening was celebrated by municipal and provincial dignitaries, partners and supporters of the project on April 27 at the new power plant in downtown Almonte. Perched on the Mississippi River, the station offers views of the water from wall-to-wall windows in an upstairs confference room. Downstairs houses the electrical components and turbines that generate the power. It was an emotional occasion for Jeff Cavanagh, owner of Enerdu Power Systems Ltd. "Ever since grade 7 or so, I did a project about owning a power dam and it's always been a dream of mine. That's how this whole thing

got started," he told the crowd gathered for the event. "...This was no small feat. It took a lot of help from a great team," he added. In 2010, Cavanagh purchased the existing power plant and former 1850s-era Almonte Flour Mill building that had been converted into three apartments, from Mike Dupuis. Dupuis also owns Canadian Hydro Components across the street, which constructed the turbines for the station. "He sold us the property and he lives and breathes turbines," Cavanagh remarked. "This place is very efficient and works very well and I want to thank Mike's great engineering and help along the process." The new station now generates just over 1,100 kilowatts of power, a 70 per cent increase compared to the former plant's produc-

tion of 300 kilowatts. Cavanagh calls it the "most efficient and effective power dam for this location on the river." "Now today, we have a ffully functioning state-ofthe-art hydroelectric generating system that can produce over 1,100 kilowatts of renewable energy to power approximately 500 homes," he continued. He said the redevelopment provides better flood control to Almonte residents, maintains consistent water levels upstream for recreational river use and also provided a bypass and ladders for the protection of the American eel, an endangered species. Cavanagh worked with the Algonquins of Ontario to create a strategy for the eel, a culturally significant and spiritual species. "That all being said, I'm very proud of this project

"I want to take a moment at the top of this mountain, or whatever you might call it, just to celebrate this achievement before we go on to the next challenge."

Kids World a 24,000 square foot indoor play zone l Continued from page 1

Carleton Place's newest fun centre "amazing." "Welcome to town!" she said. On Saturday, Carleton Place's mayor, Louis Antonakos, embraced his inner child, jumping on trampolines and trying out some of the nine-dimensional (9D) virtual reality (VR) games. "This is great!" he exclaimed. Kids World offers play options for everyone in the family, from toddlers to adults. Hours of operation

are as follows: Tuesday to Friday from 1 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Closed on Monday. Balu and his wife, Arvinda Kuriya, reside in Carleton Place, in the big brick house at the corner of Townline Road and Bridge Street. "We have been there since 1972," he said. "It is one of the oldest houses in town." Balu once owned a textile mill in Almonte, and his first business was a knitting factory on Bruce

Crescent. The former factory is just a short distance from Kids World. "I have been in business for many years, but Kids World is special... it is good for the kids," Balu told this newspaper. "I just want to make people happy." At this time, Balu leases the building housing Kids World; however, "there is the option to buy." By the time Kids World opened its doors, Balu has spent approximately $750,000. "It has been an very expensive endeavour," he said.

Kids World is Carleton Place's ultimate virtual reality experience and gaming destination. From a pay-per-play arcade to a circus-themed soft play area, from a large trampoline park to an abundance of 9D VR games, "we have it all...all combined under one roof," Balu said. The entrepreneur really enjoys the facility's payper-play electronic riding animals, similar to the ones seen at area shopping malls. "There is nothing like Kids World within 35 kilometres," Balu said. The idea for Kids World has been in the works for the last two and a half years," Balu said. "First, I had to convince my wife." Balu and Arvinda travelled to China in November 2017. "We were there for three weeks, checking everything out," Balu said. "We bought about 30 arcade games." Guests will want to try out the King Kong 360-degree VR rotating cinema simulator/VR video game. "It is the only one in Canada," Balu said. Moreover, a $12,000 9D VR racing car simulator fully immerses players in the game. Too, hunters will enjoy the VR animal hunting game, complete with real-like rifles. "The game's screen is 150 inches, and each rifle cost $500," Balu said. All equipment was purchase from Mich Playground Co. in China. "This is the best company," Balu stressed. "Equipment is high quality and they offer a multi-year guarantee." Mich Playground Co. has supplied playground equipment and games to more than 100 countries.

Kids World is hoping to draw customers from not only Carleton Place but Smiths Falls, Mississippi Mills, Perth, Arnprior, Renfrew, Beckwith and more. "If I get 200 people each week, I will be OK," Balu said. "Obviously, weekends will be busy." Parents never need to worry about their kids. The facility boasts a high-end security system with 16 cameras. "If anything happens, we will know about it," Balu stressed. "Security is very important to us." Visitors will never go hungry, as Kids World boasts a full-service cafeteria. The building's washroom facilities were completely renovated, with new toilets, etc. Restrooms are accessible. In addition to a spot for shoes and coats, there is a sitting area for parents, complete with sofas, chairs and TV. With a couple of party rooms, parents can make their child's next birthday an unforgettable one! Kids World offers three birthday packages to choose from, ranging in price from $275 to $475. Rooms are spacious, encompassing round tables and chairs, flat screen TV (with Netflix) and more. Packages include pizza, birthday cake (packages one and two), play cards for arcade/ games, party host, loot bag and all-day access to trampolines and jungle gym. "We offer great birthday spaces," Balu said. Kids World also has a handful of mascots, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Bugs Bunny and Winnie the Pooh. Balu hopes people ask Kids World about its group

rates for employee appreciation or team building events, holiday parties, school trips, reunions, meetings and events for seniors. Memberships are available: monthly family pass one adult and up to three children ($75), threemonth pass - one adult and up to three children ($175), one-year family pass - one adult and up to three children ($250), Tuesday to Thursday family pass - one adult and three children ($50), and Friday, Saturday and Sunday family pass one adult and three children ($60). The weekday admission per person, Tuesday to Thursday, is $9.99 for unlimited time in the jungle gym or $12.99 for 30 minutes on the trampolines. Access to pay-per-play arcade/games and non-slip socks included. The weekend admission per person, Friday to Sunday, is $12.99 for unlimited time in the jungle gym or $14.99 for 30 minutes on the trampolines. Access to pay-perplay arcade/games and non-slip socks included. "Get an extra 30 minutes for $5 per person," Balu noted. Parents not playing do not need to pay. Kids World is hiring; however, there is already a handful of trained staff in place. "Our employees are screened to make sure they are good with children," Balu said. The manager of Kids World in Amanda Thompson. There is plenty of parking on site - 140 spots, including six handicapped spaces.

muniCiPal Class EnVirOnmEntal assEssmEnt FOr rEPlaCEmEnt OF tHE CEntral BridgE The Central Bridge, located on Bridge Street in downtown Carleton Place, is the central link across the Mississippi River. The bridge was constructed in 1928 and rehabilitated in 1983. Recent inspections of the bridge identified structural deficiencies and insufficient load carrying capacity. The To T wn of Carleton Place is considering options to replace the Central Bridge to address the identified structural deficiencies and to serve the To T wn for years to come. The project works will also include adding a walkway and undertaking repairs to Gillies Bridge and potential widening the other one lane bridge further to the east, with relocation of utilities undertaken as required. Replacement of the Central Bridge and rehabilitation of Gillies Bridge are identified as priorities in the To T wn’s strategic Asset Management Plan (2017). The project is being completed as a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 & 2015). As such, extensive public and technical agency consultation will play a key role in developing the study recommendations. At this time, it is anticipated that 3 Public Consultation Centres (PCC) will be held during the study. The first PCC will be held to present preliminary information on the project and to receive input from the public on the key issues and constraints within the study area. The PCC will be held as an informal “Open House” format with materials pertaining to the study on display and members of the project team on hand to answer questions and discuss issues related to the project. Public Consultation Centre #1: Date: Wednesday May 16, 2018 Time: 4:00 to 7:30 pm Location: Carleton Place Canoe Club, 179 John St. If you would like more information prior to the first public consultation centre, or to be included on the mailing list for this project, please contact one of the following members of the Project Team: T T wn of Carleton Place To R.V.

Generating station eight years in the making l Continued from page 3

Project hurdles Cavanagh spoke to the opposition of the project and admitted he was surprised by the backlash ffrom the Mississippi Mills community. "I believed that renewable energy was the way of the future and I'm very passionate about it, so it was to my surprise that some of the community was not as enthusiastic about this green power as myself," he said. In addition to redeveloping the power plant, Cavanagh took on a redesign of the old mill apartments, which are fully occupied. "We turned the inside of that building into something very intricate and unique. It's a 20th century building now, not 1850s," he stated. Tied up in a lengthy approval process, construction on the plant finally began July 1, 2016, "with every last permit in hand," Cavanagh noted. The first phase involved damming off a portion of the river and blasting out more than

20,000 tons of rock and removing it from the river bed. The next task was constructing the building itself and removing the former power house while supporting the apartments above. "That was no small feat either," he stated. More than 500 loads of concrete were used to construct the new power station but Cavanagh said the biggest hurdle in the process was keeping water out of the work area. With a deadline of March 15, 2017 imposed by the Ministry of Environment to be out of the water, a major flood in January 2017 set back the project. "We were in deep and I mean literally, we were in deep," Cavanagh commented. "The work area flooded after one of our coffer dams holding the water failed.I had to get this project finished. We're in the middle of the river and the water is rising and rising and rising. So, I called in for reinfforcements. We dug our heels in and got the coffer dam fixed and water out of the existing floor of the building and we went on."

The exterior of the new Enerdu Generating Station, perched on the Mississippi River in downtown Almonte. Cavanagh thanked +VG Architects, who designed the station, engineers, electricians, contractors and all who worked on the project. He saved special remarks for project manager Ron Campbell. "Ron was with me right from the beginning, right from seven and a half years ago when we started this project," he said. "He pushed a lot of

paper and there's been a lot of water under the bridge." Carolyn Caldwell, assistant deputy minister with the Ministry of Energy, commended Cavanagh on the project's completion. ".It was water power that fuelled Ontario's economy through the 20th century," she said. "The historic importance and future potential of water power

can be attributed to its low production costs, reliability, flexibility to meet ongoing base electricity needs, as well as peak demands.You can see why water power continues to play a significant role in Ontario's diverse supply mix." A supporter of the project from day one, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Jack MacLaren said entre-

preneurs and small businesses are the backbone of the Ontario economy. "I applaud you for your persistence and I congratulate you on your success. Job well done," he noted. Paul Norris, president of the Ontario Waterpower Association, said hydro facilities such as Enerdu are important as the province shifts from decentralized generation. "I think you're in the right place at the right time," he commented. ".You should celebrate this achievement, this remarkable continuation of the legacy of green energy in the town of Almonte. It's reputational for your community; the fact that you own and operate and produce green energy right in your community." Following the formal portion of the opening, dignitaries gathered for a ribbon cutting, refreshments and guided tours. Algonquins of Ontario representative Lynn Clouthier also had the honour of turning on the turbines. "Let's crank this thing up to 10," Cavanagh remarked.

Major university hearing study seeks participants. Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demonstration of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve lifechanging hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

insideottawavalley.com

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the

need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study. * Pichora-Fuller, uller M.

Ear and Hearing, 37, 92S-100S. † Study participants must be over 50 years of age and have never worn uller, hearing aids. No fees f and no purchase necessary.

Epidemiol. 148 (9), 879-886. 2. National Institutes of Health. (2010).

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometre’s away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water. Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts. We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water.

Where you live in Lanark County determines wait time for housing DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Where you live in Lanark County has a huge impact on how long you may have to wait for housing. "If you don't have a house, there are so many issues you can't deal with," said Sandy Grey, social housing manager with Lanark County during a community consultation on housing and homelessness at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on April 26. Housing waits can be anywhere from three to ffive years, with one-bedroom requests being the most prevalent. While domestic violence cases are given priority, "we don't have any emergency housing in Lanark County," apart ffrom Interval House, said Grey, adding "there are some group homes." She was joined by her colleague, Emily Hollington, housing renewal coordinator with the county.

Wait times are between W one and seven years. The housing stock that the county currently holds is also not perfect. "We do not have a lot of wheelchair-accessible units," said Hollington, who called it "a huge challenge" that can add significant time to a disabled person on a wait list. There are also no mental health beds in the county. Another challenge for the housing insecure is transportation. The audience also heard about the challenges faced by the working poor, and the lack of funding, staff, and resources among the nonprofit sector. Another challenge is getting some data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Because the CMHC needs a minimum population of 10,000, they do not collect vacancy rate data for Lanark County communities. The county does not have access to housing start numbers from CMHC.

There are 790 rentgeared-to-income units in Lanark County, which includes rent supplements, local nonprofit housing, and the local housing corporation, according to Lanark County data provided at the meeting. Households in rentgeared-to-income housing are charged 30 per cent of their income for rent. There are 530 households on the wait list for rentgeared-to-income housing, including: 113 seniors; 57 victims of domestic violence and 295 one-bedroom requests. There are two affordable housing buildings in Lanark County where rent is charged at 20 per cent below market rent, with one in Almonte with 20 units (with eight under construction); and 20 units in Perth (with two under construction.) There are some shelter options in the county, including Lanark County Interval House, and a Housing Options Fund, which will pay for a maxi-

mum of a four-night stay in a motel or hostel. There are 15 group homes that provide support for individuals living with development disabilities and various retirement homes and longterm care facilities. Subsidized rentals are covered by five nonprofit housing providers, like the Lanark County Housing Corporation, with a target of 75 rent supplement units in private market units. Short term rental assistance There are two streams to this assistance locally, including the Rent Support Program, which is rent subsidy program that assists approximately 100 people per month in which $200 is paid directly to the landlord to assist with rent. The client can receive support for up to five years, and it is funded through the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The other stream is the slightly modified Housing

Allowance Program, which is administered by the Ontario Ministry of Finance in which $200 is paid directly to the tenant. The client can receive the support for up to five years and it currently assists 46 clients. "Renters are struggling more than owners," Hollington said. The county also offers renovation help for essential home repairs, with 10year forgivable loans, which cover everything ffrom windows, doors, roof, furnace, insulation, to accessibility improvements. However, there is a maximum amount of $10,000 per applicant. There were 46 renovations completed in 2017, and 174 renovations completed since the program was begun. Different communities fface different demographic challenges, such as Smiths Falls, which continues to see population decline. The public forum heard that all municipalities in the county had seen

some population increase ffrom 2011 to 2016, with the exception of Smiths Falls, which saw a 2.2 per cent decline. All other communities saw increases from 1.5 to 9.4 per cent. The median household income by municipality also underscored different needs across the county. From $47,104 in Smiths Falls to $102.707 in Beckwith. Education was also a determinant when it came to housing challenges. The prevalence of the number of low-income people per municipality, as of 2016, also changes drastically in different parts of the county, however, "our unemployment rates are significantly lower" than those in Renffrew County or LeedsGrenville, said Hollington.

OTTAWA AND RE NFREW COUNTY

nical writer in the high-tech industry in Ottawa for more than 30 years, began his municipal politics adventure when he was elected as Ramw say Ward councillor in 2010. He captured the mayor's chair in the 2014 election, deffeating incumbent John Levi by just 61 votes. In an interview with the Canadian Gazette after his win, McLaughlin pledged to try to get councillors to work together, "more or less to get everyone on the same path right from the beginning, avoid any kind of conflict or a ffractured council, any sort of inefficiencies in how we do our business." On April 30, McLaughlin said he felt that had been achieved. "Despite our differences of opinion over several major issues, the members of this council conducted themselves as professionals and maintained decorum at all times," he stated. "This council worked efficiently and efffectively on behalf of the resi-

dents of Mississippi Mills." Leading off with a commitment to foster economic growth in 2014, McLaughlin g lauded Mississippi Mills' economy for being "the strongest since the woollen mills closed." Other achievements include the sale of nine lots in the industrial park, with more pending, as well as the 165 housing starts in 2017. "Our community is growing; and council has been mindful to maintain its attractive character," he commented. "Over this term, the community has become an enviable destination for those valuing arts, heritage and nature experiences." One of the toughest hurdles he said he has faced as mayor was maintaining the municipality's long-range financial plan, which called ffor high tax increases over six years to close the infrastructure gap. After 2018, "that phase of the plan is over." "We leave the next council with a healthy bank account, good reserves, manageable

debt and the ability to set the 2019 tax increase close to zero," McLaughlin noted. "I am particularly pleased with our council's responsible stewardship of taxpayers' dollars. His term as mayor hasn't been without fireworks, however. Council has been scrutinized for a number of decisions, including the establishment of a heritage conservation district in Almonte, as well as filling the late Bernard Cameron's council seat in the Almonte ward through an appointment process. In April 2016, council appointed Coun. Amanda Pulker-Mok to the post. McLaughlin said that, come October, he looks forward to spending more time with family and thanked the residents of Mississippi Mills ffor their support. "I will be almost 67 at the end of this term. The men in my family do not live much past 80. So, I am compelled to pass the baton and pursue other endeavours in life and enjoy adventures with loved ones," he stated.

One of the most popular annual events in Carleton Place, Wine'd Around Downtown, returns on Saturday, May 26, and tickets, in the fform of T-shirts, are now a available. This year marks the 11th anniversary of the downtown wine- and food-sampling extravaganza. Last year a sellout crowd of 300 people took part. The venture runs from 1 to 5 p.m. and involves nine participating restaurants, pubs and caterers. The much-anticipated spring event is a fundraiser ffor the Sister Cities Youth Exchange program and other activities involving the town's two sister communities. Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland, and the city of Franklin, Tennessee, a growing suburb of Nashville. The participating venues

will dispense tasty appetizers, and wine samples will be on offer at various locations in the downtown area. Tickets (T-shirts) are now available for $25 each at the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce information centre, in historical Moore House, at 170 Bridge St. (opposite the town hall) or at the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery, 20 Bridge St. Purchasers receive an event T-shirt, an information brochure about the event and a coupon for one free appetizer at one of the participating venues. As the play on words in the name suggests, participants in Wine'd Around Downtown are encouraged to "wind" their way from one venue to another in the downtown area. The idea of the event is not to over-imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers

The popular Wine'd Around Downtown fundraiser for the Carleton Place Sister City Committee returns May 26 for its 11th year. Above, these four friends took part in last year's event, adding some related wording to their event T-shirts (the shirts double as tickets). in one or more of the locations taking part in the afternoon event. Anyone wearing a Wine'd Around Downtown T-shirt is entitled to purchase wine

samples and appetizers at each of the participating venues for just $3 each. "We ask everyone involved to wear their T-shirt v and join the crowd. This is an

enjoyable social event," says Jeff Maguire, chair of the host Carleton Place sister city committee. "But you have to purchase and wear a T-shirt, or the Wine'd Around Downtown logo must be visible, in order to take part." There are two additions to the lineup this year. The Grand Hotel, at 7 Bridge St., and Sagar Indian Cuisine, at 156 Bridge St., will be dispensing delicious appetizers and wine samples for the ffirst time as part of the activity. The Grand Hotel will also have a wine expert on hand to offer brief wine seminars to participants. Several traditional favourites are back this year. Waterfall Wedding and Event Catering will again be at Moore House. Stalwart Brewing Co. on High Street is also returning. Stalwart will join forces with the Black Tartan Kitchen, which

will serve appetizers at the brewery. Rob Carpenter, owner of Beckwith Butcher, will offer the popular appetizers, which have made his business such a key part of Wine'd Around Downtown W the past four years. Beckwith Butcher will be in the municipal parking lot beside 92 Bridge St. Other popular returnees are the Thirsty Moose, 20 Bridge St.; Chesswood Restaurant, 151 Bridge St.; and The Waterfront Gastropub, 12 Bell St. (across the river from the town hall).

Almonte Civitan hosts 'wine and dine' fundraiser for local child with cancer May 4 The Almonte Civitan Club is hosting a special Canada Wine and Dine event Friday, May 4 to support eightyear-old Aiden Verk and his family. Aiden has been diagnosed with medulloblastoma, brain cancer, and has undergone surgery, treatments in Boston and Toronto, as well as radiation and physiotherapy to learn how to walk and talk again. A routine six-month scan recently indicated the cancer has returned. Other treatment options are now being sought and Aiden has resumed chemotherapy. Canada Wine and Dine is a four-course paired tasting featuring Canadian wine and food. Some attendees of the monthly wine and food pairings the Civitan featured last year, which included wines from around the world and fabulous food pairings. This evening, like those others, will not disappoint. Funds raised from Canada Wine and Dine will go to help Aiden, his mom Stephanie and two brothers meet medical expenses and care for Aiden. Tickets are $75 per person (limited to 100 tickets for event). To purchase tickets, call 613-256-6234. This is a fight where everyone can do something to

The Almonte Lions Club Charitable Foundation has announced the names of 10 Almonte District High School students who are the finalists for the prestigious Robert Tait McKenzie Scholarship Awards. Finalists were nominated by their peers at Almonte District High School (ADHS) in recognition of their contributions to school life, academic excellence, and volunteer service and leadership in the greater community. A committee of ADHS staff and Lions, then selected the 10 ffinalists. They represent the very "best of the best" at ADHS. The candidates being honoured for their "Joy of Effort" (McKenzie's plaque which hung at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics) this year are: Jillian Ferguson, Rileigh Foley-Watson, Madison Larmon, Callum LeRoy, Kate Lowry, Vanessa Masson, Christina Reid, Karlan Schenher, Wes Sonnenburg and Rowan Warn-

er. Each of these students represent the qualities and ideals McKenzie modelled. All of these students are amazing people who our community can take great pride in recognizing. McKenzie, an 1883 ADHS graduate, was a medical doctor, athlete, artist and sculptor. He restored an old grist mill, which he named the Mill of Kintail in 1931. The mill is his memorial displaying some of his sculptures, and mementos ffrom his lifetime. All of the finalists will be honoured on Thursday, May 17. For 52 consecutive years, the Almonte Lions Club and Almonte District High School have joined together to celebrate the finest achievements of the students. The evening will be held in the gym at ADHS. Coffee, and desserts, etc. will be served. Each of the finalists will be given three minutes to highlight their contributions in the three areas central to the award - academic

Nancy's Impressions receives accolades from Carleton Place chamber TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce has recognized a downtown business for its 35 years of leadership, service and commitment to the community. Chamber general manager Jackie Kavanagh and officer administrator Amber Campbell presented Nancy Code-Miller of Nancy's Impressions with a fframed certificate on April 18. Nancy's Impressions has been a fixture at 149 Bridge St. since 1983. "The actual date is March 9, 1983," Code-Miller told the Canadian Gazette on W Wednesday. Nancy's Impressions offfers a selection of high-quality accessories and women's clothing: separates, dressy and casual. Sizes range from ffour to 18 (regular and petite). "You must have an amazing wardrobe," Kavanagh said with a smile.

At 35 years, Nancy's Impressions is the longest running business - single proprietor - on Bridge Street. "Doug (Hawkins) of Graham's Shoes is one year behind me," Code-Miller said. The roots of CodeMiller's family run deep in Carleton Place. After attending high school, Code-Miller studied ffashion at Ryerson University in Toronto, which was followed by retail merchandising at the Brockville campus of St. Lawrence College. "I knew a small town girl was going to have a hard time making a living in fashion," she stated. Before opening Nancy's Impressions, Code-Miller worked as a buyer for five years at Shaw's of Perth. Two years after opening Nancy's Impressions, CodeMiller launched Phase II across the street, at 156 Bridge St. Phase II catered to the high school market, offering junior fashions. The store closed its doors in 1998, which is when Code-

Nancy's Impressions has been a fixture at 149 Bridge St. since 1983. Miller merged the two. "I made Nancy's Impression's bigger, bringing over a lot of the brands from the second store," she explained.

Staying in business for more than three decades has been "hard," the retailer admitted. "Retail in general ... there is a lot of choice (nowadays), more options online."

Regarding large box R stores, "I do not think I am a competitor for Walmart, and Walmart is not a competitor for me," Code-Miller added. "We are very differ-

ent." Nancy's Impressions offfers personal service. CodeMiller knows her customers and they know her. She offfers alterations, and she understands fit. "All those things make boutique shopping unique ... a different experience than a box store," Code-Miller said. Nancy's Impressions is open Monday to Saturday. In addition to the boss, there are two part-time employees. When asked about the future, Code-Miller admitted she is not ruling out retirement, whether that means closing the store and selling it. "It depends on what comes along," Code-Miller said, and "I think I deserve to explore other avenues." Code-Miller was a member of the local BIA for 25 years. To her many customers T through the years: "Thank you, it has been fun. I have y enjoyed every minute."

A Joyful Day at Fairview Manor It’s not every day that a wedding takes place at Fairview Manor. But that’s exactly what happened a couple of months ago – thanks to a loving family and some caring Fairview Manor staff members.

insideottawavalley.com

Jim Bain is a resident at Fairview Manor and was looking forward to his son’s wedding. But he wasn’t well enough to leave the Manor. Having Jim participate in the celebration was very important to Jim and his family so they started thinking about how they could make it happen. “We asked the staff if we could have the wedding there and they couldn’t have been more helpful,” explains Jim’s wife Carol, who is a Minister and officiated at the wedding. “Our son Bruce and his lovely bride Tracy were so happy. Everyone was. The staff made the day joyous. In fact, they were peeking around the corner to watch the ceremony and we invited them to join us!”

www.almontegeneral.com

The wedding took place in the chapel, followed by a reception in the Great Room. The family did a wonderful job decorating the space and Fairview Manor staff made sure they had everything they needed. “We were so happy to be able to help,” says Amanda Becking, Assistant Director. “Each of our residents calls Fairview Manor home and we want to make every day special. It was our honour to help make this day possible.” Carol says her family is grateful that Jim now lives at Fairview Manor. “The Manor has brought Jim’s health level back. They have certainly done everything to make life worth living again.” Congratulations to the happy couple!

KENNETH EARL HAMILTON

September 18, 1938-December 29, 2017 Suddenly with his family by his side at the Smiths Falls General Hospital. Dear husband of Shirley. When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little while - but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss Me - But Let Me Go. For this journey that we all must take, And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss Me - But Let Me Go Always loved and sadly missed Shirley Ken, Bob and Peggy Grandchildren: Chelsey, Rebecca, Taylor, Casey, Abgeal, Kristy, Jesse and Jacob. Ken Sr. will be fondly remember and missed by his many relatives and friends.

Remembering you can cause a smile, Always comfort these memories, They are so precious, And keep you ever near. Miss Me - But Let Me Go

IN MEMORIAM

CRAWFORD – In fond and loving memory of the best husband and father in the world Orval Crawford who passed away May 3, 2003. You meant so much to all of us, You were special and that’s no lie. You brightened up the darkest day, And the cloudiest sky. Your smile alone warmed hearts, Your laugh was like music to hear. We would give absolutely anything, To have you standing here. When you suffered, you told few, You never deserved what you went through. Tired and weary you made no fuss, But tried so hard to stay with us. Not a second passes, When you’re not on our minds. Your love we will never forget, It was a special kind. Too dearly loved to ever be forgotten By his loving wife Dolly, four sons and their families.

Always remembered lovingly by: Husband John and family

MacKinnon, Daniel C.

November 1926-March 2018 My wife Yvonne and I were friends and lovers for some 75 years. We were born in the East end of Toronto and met at Riverdale Collegiate. She went on to obtain a degree at the University of Toronto in Physical and Health Education while I graduated in Honour Science and eventually a Ph.D. in Zoology and Wild Life Biology from the University of British Columbia. Yvonne began her professional career at Neighbourhood House in Toronto where all kinds of social programs were offered to people who lived in the so called “Cabbage Town” and beyond part of the city. In 1950, Jim and Yvonne were married and moved to Vancouver where Jim began his graduate work and Yvonne continued her social work at the Chinese YWCA. After a few years Yvonne decided she wanted children and became a full time mother and head of house and home. Jim gave full support and enjoyed the great benefits of a good home, children, and a happily married life. Children in order of origin were Jennifer, Robyn, Sarah, Leah and John. All eventually married and continued the line through 11 grand and 3 great grandchildren. All are doing well and now include a medical doctor, professor, journalist, teacher, mother, forester and miner. While a mother first she was also an activist and helper. She saw the need for parks and green spaces where nature could flourish despite the crush of urban pressure. Best example was the saving of Rattray Marsh and surrounding forest as a conservation area by her and many other Mississaugans. As a helper, she spent many hours in the field gathering data often amidst black flies and other discomforts. Few tasks were ignored if her help was needed. Because Jim chose an academic career of teaching and research in animal ecology this took him and the family to opportunities in Kingston, Vancouver, Toronto and nearby study areas. Whenever possible the children and some friends went along to make a summer adventure, school, and source of fly bites and ravenous wild carnivores. Despite the dangers, all learned much, survived, and wanted to do it again. Now, much time is passed and expired. Birth, growth, and accomplishment are preludes to death and we all must die. But before that we see the joy and opportunity of the young as in Yvonne. She has lived to the full and has resulted in doctors that use robot surgery, writers that report on the life of Mandela, Professors that warn of the pollution of oceans by plastics, children that produce great grand children, and so it goes. Goodbye my dearest! You are an outstanding example, an inspiration, and have made a much better earth. Thanks to all who have helped make Yvonne’s passing comfortable and with love.

HARPER - In loving memory of Raymond H. Harper who passed away May 4th, 2013. Life is not the same without you. Your memory is a keepsake, From which we’ll never part. God has you in His arms, We have you in our heart. Missing you always Your loving Bonnie and Family Grandsons Jacob and Tobias xoxo
