'He was like a brother to me': MPP mourns loss of Gord Brown ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com

Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP Gord Brown, left, died of a heart attack May 2 in his Parliament Hill office. He is seen with provincial counterpart, MPP Steve Clark at the 2017 Merrickville Heritage Classic run.
On May 2, it was LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark who announced in the Ontario Legislature that longtime MP Gord Brown had died earlier that morning. Voice shaking, he asked Speaker of the House, Dave Levac, for a moment of silence in honour of his friend, who suffered a
heart attack in his Parliament Hill office. Days later, Clark is still processing the loss of the Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MP. "We've known each other since we were kids," he said during a phone interview with this newspaper May 4. "I've said many times in the last couple of days that Gord was like a brother to me.

Clark said no one worked harder on his constituents' behalf than Brown. "He had such a passion for public service. His legacy will be the amount of people he's touched," he remarked. "He was so very proud of where he came from. It's been a tough couple of days without my friend." "We were the same age, a couple months apart," added Clark, who was elected MPP in 2010. "...He was a tremendous mentor for me when I was first elected and he was a person who represented this riding very well." On the morning of May 2, Clark had stepped out of Question Period in the legislature when he heard reports that something had happened to Brown. He went to his office and called Brown's House of Commons office where he was told the news. "I was just in a state of shock...I was in my office for quite a while. It's been very emotional," he said. "Once the national caucus l See BROWN’S, page 5

was told and it started to come out in the media and on social media, my friend Lisa MacLeod (NepeanCarleton MPP) told me I needed to come down and tell the house what had happened." The pair would touch base with each other every few days and Clark said he spoke with Brown and his wife, Claudine, the evening before his death. They discussed upcoming public engagements and the upcoming provincial election. "We've always been a big part of each others' elections," he stated. As a small business owner himself, Brown was a staunch supporter of economic development in his riding and championed for the revitalization of the Eastern Ontario Develop-
ment Program (EODP), which lends valuable support to businesses. "There's no question, the EODP was really Gord's baby. He was the loudest advocate and spokesperson, I think because of his years in business," Clark stated. "...It's hard to find a community that hasn't been improved by Gord's hard work," he added, noting another feather in Brown's cap was the private member's bill seeking more compassionate care benefits he spearheaded after election in 2004. "He was able to deal with all the politics of getting a bill through and that's a legacy that will help all Canadians," Clark noted. He also introduced Bill C-370, passed in 2013, to rename the St. Lawrence Islands National Park of Canada to Thousand Islands
National Park of Canada. His presentation to the electoral boundaries commission also paved the way for the riding's name change to Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes to Leeds-Grenville. "He felt they were two very iconic areas that should be reflected in the riding," Clark said. He plans to honour his friend by continuing to talk about him. "I know he would want me to soldier on and continue his good work," Clark commented. "This is a big loss for me, personally, and from people that I've talked to in the last few days, it's really starting to set in that we had a tremendous advocate for eastern Ontario in Gord Brown and his legacy is a big one," he added.

at the Grenville & Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporations, had a particularly special relationship with Gord as he tirelessly championed our cause at every possible opportunity. Often this included advocating at the very top of the system where he would meet with the Prime Minister of Canada along with multiple Cabinet Ministers to insist that funding be increased in order to support causes that were critically important to our region. His determination regularly bore significant fruit as hundreds of millions of dollars in new government support found its way to our doorstep and made dozens of job creation initiatives possible." Russell said there is a long list which was impossible to summarize. "Virtually every major federal capital investment made in our area over the past decade was the direct result of MP Brown's work," he wrote. "His impact is immeasurable and it is unparalleled with significant contributions being made to the 1000 Islands Boat Museum, Port of Johnstown, Fort Wellington, Rideau Canal Locks, Aquatarium, Brockville Tunnel Restoration, Thousand Islands Playhouse, Skywood, Rockport Customs House Restoration, St. Lawrence College, Kemptville College, Brockville Airport, Mallory Coach
House, Greenfield Ethanol, Giant Tiger, Canarm, Burnbrae Farms, Newterra, Northern Cables, 3M, Thompson Manufacturing and the list goes on and on and on." Russell said it was "absolutely staggering to comprehend the magnitude of his impact but if you live, work or play in the LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes area then you clearly owe Mr. Brown a tremendous debt of gratitude because, if not for him, our area would look decidedly different than it does today." Russell said his personal connection to Brown was "very deep and incredibly dear to me. We grew from colleagues to close friends in short order and it wasn't long before my wife and I considered him to be part of our extended family. Our professional relationship gave me credibility that I previously could only have dreamed of and our personal friendship gave me some of the most cherished memories I will carry with me for the rest of my life." Those special memories include countless spirited hockey games to regular meals with their spouses, a multitude of engaging community ceremonies, and many meetings with influential dignitaries, "and from never ending laughter to the current unimaginable grief. It has been one of my life's greatest treasures to have had the privilege and the ho-
nour to call Gord Brown my very close friend." A member of many inter-parliamentary groups in Ottawa, Brown was noted for his efforts on behalf of Canadian interests in Washington and around the world. Prior to being elected MP, Brown was chair of the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, president of the Gananoque and District Chamber of Commerce and twice served as a councillor in the Town of Gananoque. For Bonnie Ruddock, executive director of the Great Waterway, South Eastern Ontario, who hails from Gananoque, she spent 10 years at the 1000 Islands Gananoque Chamber of Commerce. She worked with Brown, sharing a passion for tourism. "I was in complete shock when I heard the news of Gord's passing," she wrote in an email exchange. "I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the Brown family. Gord was a true advocate for tourism, for both the Town of Gananoque and the surrounding area. Gord will be missed by the many people who were fortunate enough to have known him." Brown was also known for his contributions to many community committees and organizations. An avid hockey player and Toronto Maple Leafs fan, Brown was a Canadian champion paddler with the Gananoque Canoe Club.

There is also one at MPP Steve Clark's Brockville office located at 100 Strowger Blvd. Christensen spoke of Brown's love for his hometown, his family and his friends. But it was through TIAP, and a faith Brown and the other men had in her that she said she is most grateful for. Christensen said she will miss his guidance and his friendship most of all. "We could count on him ... You could read stuff online for three hours or you could just call Gord and he could tell you the hockey stats and how to get (stuff) done. He was amazing at juggling all the balls. He represented not just Gana-
noque, but everybody. He's our home boy." Visitation took place at Tompkins Funeral Home in Gananoque on Wednesday, May 9 and the funeral service takes place at the Lou Jeffries Recreation Center in Gananoque at 11 a.m., Thursday, May 10 followed by a graveside service at Gananoque Cemetery. A reception will be held at The Firehall Theatre from 2 to 4 p.m. following the service. Brown's vision for Gananoque included a second ice pad to be located near the current recreation center. To that end, TIAP has contributed $100,000 to the initiative.

ABOUT US
Leader wants more than empty promises Reconciliation is on the minds of the nation. We feel the sting of collective guilt, finally beginning to glean the truth of Canada's systemic racism and shameful treatment of First Nations people. As we read and listen to the evidence of the continuing inequity, it is easy for us to view Indigenous Canadians as living in a perpetual state of victimhood. But when you talk with Regional Chief of Ontario Isadore Day, it's clear this strong, intelligent leader is anything but that. He's a man hell bent on leading his people to equity and justice. And a big part of that is economic reconciliation. The chief spoke to a roomful of Torstar community editors recently, as we seek to be better informed on Indigenous issues and bring that perspective to our readers. "We are First Nation People, treated as second Class Citizens, living in Third World conditions," he said. He then appeared at Canada 2020's Indigenous Economic Symposium where the discussion centred on the concept that for Indigenous people to prosper, the way forward must be grounded in the recognition of legal rights and economic reconciliation. Also at the forum was Minister of Indigenous Services Jane Philpott who said, "The goal of economic reconciliation in Canada is to ensure that a First Nations, Inuit or Metis child will grow up in a country that will provide the opportunities, the investment, the systemic capacity to breathe life into their dreams." After the symposium Day tweeted, "It's clear that 20/20 vision is a struggle for a federal government that continues to have this notion that First Nation Rights could be legislated and that the 2% cap / 30B$ debt is forgotten!!" In 1996 the Canadian government put a two per cent cap on social transfers to First Nation's communities, regardless of need, population growth or inflation. For Day this translates into $30 billion owed from the federal government. Prime Minister Trudeau pledged to remove the cap as soon as he got into office. Another promise broken, only half delivered. Day isn't remotely satisfied with the government's plan to make restitution by providing programs and services over future years. "What if another government comes in, and those investments are reproduced, removed, or altered?" he asked. The country is talking, and people in power are listening to leaders like Chief Day. But talking isn't enough; the Canadian government needs to deliver on many levels to make economic reconciliation more than just another promise.

Because he died of a communicable disease Polk himself was originally buried in a cemetery outside the city due to public health regulations. Later that edict was lifted and his remains were moved to Polk Place. Because Polk's will specified that he be buried beside his Nashville home, which
no longer exists, the idea of moving the couple's remains to the Polk museum in Columbia has gained traction. My interest in this subject relates to the three visits my wife and I have made to the Polk tomb over the years. Our most recent stop at the site was in late February. I have taken photos of the tomb and strictly as an observer I can't see anything wrong with the graves remaining where they are. True, the Polk's are the only people buried on Capitol

On a quiet knoll just below the Tennessee State Capitol building in downtown Nashville is the final resting place of James Knox Polk, the 11th president of the United States, and his wife Sarah Childress Polk. Or is it their final resting place? In something of an oddity the body of Polk, who died of cholera in 1849 just three months after leaving the White House, has already been moved three times. Now a much-debated resolution urging that the president's remains, along with those of his wife, be relocated again has been resurrected in the state legislature. Following a debate in March legislators turned down the idea of having the tomb opened and the couple's remains moved to the Polk ancestral home and presidential museum in Columbia, Tennessee 50 miles (80 km) south of Nashville. However in April the matter was again raised in the State's House of Representatives. This time a new motion passed by a narrow margin. The idea still has several major hurdles to clear however. According to what I have read the plan needs the approval of the state governor, the Tennessee Historical Commission, the State Capitol Commission and the courts. Governor William Haslam has previously stated his opposition to the idea. According to the Nashville Tennessean newspaper the state historical commission is also firmly opposed. And although the Polk's never had children there are surviving family members, some of whom have gone public with their opposition. One relative calls the idea "macabre." The Polk's are hardly the first famous people to suffer

on"), who I have written about recently in this space, was also buried and reburied four times. His remains now lie in the family plot in Bavaria, southern Germany. The plan related to Polk, which has been debated recently, spins from the fact the late president's Nashville home 'Polk Place', where he wanted to be buried (and was for many years) was eventually sold and demolished. Sarah Polk outlived her husband by 42 years. Upon her death in 1891

What car
colours may say about drivers
Cars and trucks may be modes of transportation, but many people see their vehicles as extensions of their personalities The colour of a vehicle can say a lot about its driver. In fact, automotive experts say colour affects drivers’ decisions when they’re buying new vehicles. In 2015, a survey from PPG Automotive Coatings found the colour palette of black, silver, grey, and white makes up 75 percent of new cars on the road. White has been the most popular car colour for years, perhaps because neutral tones tend to look new for years, improving resale value as a result.
Blue Light blue to mid-blue cars convey a sense of calm and coolness. Blue is a dependable colour and may indicate the person behind the wheel is friendly. Dark blue can be a confidence-booster and also signal authority, as many police cruisers and law enforcement uniforms The Pantone colour Institute periodically highlights popular trends in colours for home feature deep blue. decorating, graphic design, fashion, and much more.

Honda is maintaining the status quo this year on the SUV front. The Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline have all been upgraded in recent years, and no changes are in store for the CR-V or HR-V in 2019. Honda has also hinted that a crossover smaller than the Pilot but bigger than the CR-V could eventually be launched to compete with the Ford Explorer, but no substantiating evidence has surfaced as of yet. Finally, the idea of a new compact two-seat sports car has been floating around since the S2000 was retired, but nothing concrete on that front has been reported yet either.

FEELING
Your vehicle has a recall…
now what?
Vehicles are expensive. When motorists drive their vehicles away from a dealership, they hope to travel many miles before they need to come back for maintenance. But manufacturers sometimes issue recalls that can affect drivers of both new and old vehicles.
No payment should be necessary
The cost of repairing the recalled part should not fall on your shoulders. Such repairs are paid by the manufacturer. The financial resource Bankrate.com notes that, “if you had the repair made before the recall was issued (up to a full year), the automaker is legally obligated to reimburse you, as long as you had the work done at one of its franchised dealers.” Save all receipts for the work. If work was done by a private mechanic, drivers still may be eligible for reimbursement.
Recalls are safety precautions taken should a portion of a vehicle or the entire car or truck not operate in the manner it was intended. In many instances, auto manufacturers will directly contact customers who are affected by a recall via a letter, email or both. Request a loaner vehicle According to AutoTrader, recalls are In some instances, recalls may take a few becoming more common because of the days to fix. Although not every dealership complexity of modern vehicles. Drivers can may make loaner vehicles available, it’s still follow these important steps if they learn of worth requesting one so you are not inconvenienced. a recall.
Don’t panic, but don’t ignore recalls
The experts at Kelley Blue Book say recalls often occur due to a problem in the manufacturing process in similar models, and this issue may surface in other vehicles. Recalls do not guarantee vehicles will malfunction or break down. However, consumers are urged to take recalls seriously, adopting a “better safe than sorry” approach when recalls are announced.

Ford reorganizes its offerings Ford will offer a wide range of new models over the course of the next three years. From electric cars to SUVs, not to mention the return of the Ranger in 2019 and the Bronco in 2020, there’s something for everyone in the works. The car segment will also undergo some noteworthy changes.

With this year’s North American release of the EcoSport subcompact SUV, the Fiesta may very well be on its last legs. Production of the Focus will move to China this year to allow Ford to refit its Wayne, Michigan, plant in preparation for the upcoming Ranger and Bronco. As for the ever-popular Mustang, it’s undergone a few stylistic upgrades for 2018, and Ford has announced a hybrid version as well as a more powerful V8 for 2020. The Fusion will remain the same until 2020. 2018 Ford EcoSport
On the SUV front, Ford has promised to release five new models onto the market before the end of the decade. After the EcoSport, Ford has another model in store that’s halfway between the latter and the Escape. It’s slated for a 2019 launch and will likely replace the C-Max.
2019 Ford Ranger
No noteworthy changes are expected for the Escape, Edge or Explorer in the next few years. The Flex, which is currently built in Canada, will be retired in 2020. The Expedition had a recent makeover, and a hybrid version of the F-150 is in the works for 2020. Looking ahead, Ford is working on its Model E (a name which, incidentally, Tesla tried and failed to get its hands on to use for its Model 3), an electric sedan that’s aiming to compete with Tesla by offering 2020 Ford Bronco an impressive 500-kilometre range.

Maintain a clean vehicle
Car washes do more than just clean a vehicle. Routine washing and waxing can remove dirt that, if left on a vehicle, can gradually scratch paint and contribute to chips and rust. Over time, rust can affect vehicle performance and may even compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers if bad enough frame rust affects structural integrity. Routine washing also can remove road salt from vehicles. Salt can build up during winter when roads are routinely treated during and after snowstorms. Road salt can be extremely corrosive and, if left unremoved from a vehicle, can contribute to rust that ultimately can cause extensive damage to a vehicle.
Adhere to maintenance guidelines
Drivers may have heard that today’s vehicles were built to go longer periods of time between oil changes and tuneups than the vehicles of yesteryear. But drivers should still adhere to manufacturer-recommended maintenance guidelines. Upon buying new vehicles, drivers should read their owners’ manuals to determine recommended maintenance intervals, and stick to those intervals for as long as they have their vehicles. Cognizant of the sizeable investments they’re making when buying new vehicles, many drivers want to get as many miles out of their vehicles as possible. Simple maintenance and safe driving habits can go a long way toward keeping vehicles on the road for years to come.

How drivers can make
road trip season more eco-friendly
| Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF | Thursday, May 10, 2018

Many drivers anxiously await the arrival of spring, when they can rev their engines and enjoy the burgeoning greenscapes synonymous with the season. Many drivers enjoy the first few warm days of spring when they get a chance to hit the open road with their windows down for the first time in months. Driving is not always the most eco-friendly activity. However, there are various ways to enjoy spring road trips without compromising the environment. Driving is not always the most eco-friendly activity. However, there are various ways to enjoy spring road trips without compromising the environment. Do not idle your vehicle. When engines are running but cars are not moving, this is referred to as “idling.” It’s hard to blame drivers for idling their vehicles in winter, when many motorists try to warm up their engines and their vehicles’ interiors so their morning commutes are as comfortable as possible. Idling cars might not be moving, but they are still burning fuel, meaning drivers who routinely idle their vehicles are adversely affecting fuel efficiency. It’s also important to note that idling is no longer necessary in modern vehicles. That’s because the electronic fuel injection systems in today’s cars require just a few seconds to get full oil pressure throughout the engine. Take it easy on the road. Road trips tend to be more enjoyable and are certainly safer when drivers take their time and don’t rush to their destination. And driving slowly happens to be more eco-friendly as well. According to the online automotive resource Edmunds. com, gently gaining speed is much more fuel-efficient than accelerating quickly. Always obey speed limits and avoid quickly accelerating when stoplights turn green. Empty the trunk. During winter, many drivers understandably carry some extra items in their trunk to account for inclement weather. Keeping ice scrapers, extra coolant or even a snow shovel in the trunk might make sense for drivers who live in regions that routinely encounter heavy snowfall. When spring arrives, drivers should remove any unnecessary items from their trunks. Such items will increase the weight of the vehicle, thereby reducing its fuel efficiency. Athletes and outdoors enthusiasts should also remove golf bags and sporting equipment from their trunks when taking trips where such items won’t be needed.
Motorists can employ several simple strategies to make spring road trip season more eco-friendly.

Don’t top off at the gas pump. Many drivers, especially those on road trips who want to avoid extra tops at the filling station, top off their gas tanks when nozzles shut off automatically. Such a practice is harmful to the planet and may not be doing your vehicle any favours, either. Without that extra room, the gas may evaporate into the vehicle’s vapour collection system, adversely affecting emissions and potentially damaging the vehicle.

LAWS is still in fundraising mode for the renovation of our cat area at the shelter. We have had to delay the start of the work until early September 2018. With "kitten season" upon us, the delay is necessary to ensure that we can accommodate the moms and kittens and to ensure that staff and volunteers are able to look after everyone. If there are any individuals or families that may be able to provide a temporary (two to threemonth) foster home in the fall, for a cat or two, please email shelter@lanarkanimals.ca. We will be able to take them back just in time for any snowbirds to take flight.

Kasey and Kora Hi, we're one-year-old Kasey, a very handsome male, and Kora, a beautiful female who look so much alike we could be twins. When you meet us you will want to take both of us home because it will be too hard to pick be-
tween us! Although we were both very shy when we first arrived at the shelter last summer, we are coming out of our shells. We can't help but feel how much better we can do in a loving forever home with that purrfect (get it?) patient someone who is willing to give us time to adjust. Although we happily cuddle together in a pet bed and would love to be able to stay together, we each have a lot to give that lucky person. Either way, we are gems in the waiting and because we've waited a while now our adoption fee has been reduced. Please come and meet us at LAWS and be sure to bring your cat carrier so you don't go home empty-handed! Olsen Please meet Olsen a two-yearold Harlequin tabby boy. Olsen is long and slender and loves to hug your legs when you walk by. It's his playful way of saying 'hello, how are you.' He came in as a stray cat and likes being around other cats. However, Olsen would love to be invited into a loving home. Please meet him at LAWS. Marigold After raising five kittens, Marigold is now ready for a home of her own. Her beautiful tabby markings with rust torti undertones compliment her lovely copper eyes. She likes to come greet you at the door and
seek out cosy places for a good nap. Marigold's kittens have been adopted and she's awaiting your call to meet her in Perth where she's still enjoying the care of her foster mom. Should you be interested in meeting Marigold, who is about two-years-old, then please leave us a Facebook message or call the shelter at 613-283-9308 and we'll set up the appointment for you. Oliver Please meet six-year-old Oliver who's owner is not well and had to make the difficult decision to surrender this handsome boy. He is really friendly and would fit well in any household. Oliver could shed a few pounds but for now there is just more of him to love. Oliver can be adopted from LAWS.

Festival of Small Halls expanding to welcome new rural venues for 2018 With more than 40 performances over two weeks in September, the Ontario Festival of Small Halls is promising to get toes tapping across the province this fall - in even more cherished spaces. The festival that melds big names in music with rural communities is expanding its scope again and bringing internationally-renowned musicians to special halls this fall. The celebration of exceptional live music is taking place from Sept. 13 to 30 in intimate settings that provide authentic rural Ontario experiences. Now in its fifth year, the festival continues to highlight many towns and villages throughout the region, as well as the warmth and hos-
pitality of the communities that fill them. The new host halls this year stretch from Combermere to Matawatchan and from Harrowsmith to Snow Road. While some venues are familiar hosts from last year, such as Elgin's Red Brick School, others are new to the festival line up, like Sydenham's Grace Hall, as well as the Rankin Cultural and Recreation Centre. Kelly Symes, general manager of the Ontario Festival of Small Halls, said the festival allows music fans to experience a memorable evening of live music in beloved places. "These spaces play a vital role in bringing people together," she said, recognizing that some halls have
deep roots as community gathering places. "Some of the venues include heritage spaces, ornate churches, a historic mill, and even a country hall that was entirely built using local materials and labour. "We're thrilled to continue showcasing these intimate gathering places, by welcoming big name musical acts to small town Ontario," she added, noting that dozens of new halls applied this year. Symes said the festival is expanding quickly thanks to loyal supporters and the commitment of host communities. Keep your ear to the ground in June: organizers of the Ontario Festival of Small Halls will be announcing the schedule and
the big-name musicians who will be taking centre stage across eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley, at the following chosen venues: • La Fraternité, Alexandria; • Almonte Old Town Hall; • Joshua Bates Centre, Athens; • Balderson United Church; • Althorpe Bolingbroke Community Hall; • Burritts Rapids Community Hall; • Chaffey's Lock Community Hall; • Combermere Community Centre; • DACA Community Centre, Dacre; • Delta Old Town Hall; • Dunvegan Recreation Hall;

Reminisce the songs of the sixties May 18-19 It's one thing to play the "oldies." It's another thing to play with the "oldies." Jeff Scott does (and has done) both. He mentioned, in a brief interview before bringing Buddy and the Ray Vons to the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls May 18 and 19, that he'd played 'Duke of Earl' alongside Gene Chandler (who's now 80). Scott talked further about his other favourite "oldies" music, and then, in a pre-show teaser, he promised to play, as an encore when he's here, the Monkees' Last Train to Clarksville as a salute to the Station Theatre. Scott was here last year for Glad All Over; he's coming
back with Happy Together featuring the songs of the sixties and the summer of love. He admits the Beatles are his favourite but he loves all the old songs. The Newmarket, Ont. boy studied piano initially but then bought his own guitar and all through high school had a band called the Silent Echo. His present day band there are seven in the collective - will be playing late '60s music, and this year they are welcoming Adrienne Marcucci to the group to add her vocals to The Mamas & the Papas and Cher songs when they hit the stage. They'll be celebrating 50 years of flower pow-
er with the songs of the sixties - the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Monkees, Simon and Garfunkel, the Turtles and more. He and his band love The Station Theatre. "It's a great facility with a terrific crew." Not only that, he adds, "the audience is responsive." So come out for an evening of great music, familiar old songs and even some dancing in the aisles. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show are on sale for $25 at Special Greetings in Smiths Falls, 8 Russell St. E, 613-283-2244. Or get them online at www.jeffscott.com. Submitted by the Station Theatre

MARY COOK Column
With winter long gone, and the warm weather of spring upon us, everything changed on the farm. It was time for Father to tend to the crops, and that meant nothing was the same as it had been over the winter. Now the days for Father and the brothers started earlier. Mother would have set the breakfast table before going to bed, and the sounds of morning started just as daybreak began. I would huddle down under the covers listening to Father starting the stove, and Mother hurrying to get breakfast on the table so that Father and the boys
could get out to the barn to do the morning chores. It was time to work the fields. When the weather allowed it, Father would be gone before we left for school ... gone with the team and whatever farm equipment he needed to take to the back fields. Like every neighbour in Northcote, our farm was long and narrow, and on the old map my sister Audrey showed me, each farm looked like someone had laid down long pieces of ribbon from the Northcote Side Road, right across the Bonnechere River with each farm being one of the strips. Father often said if the
farm was shorter and wider, he wouldn't have to do so much walking to get from one end of our property to the other. Now it was time to get onto the land and Father's day started as the sun was coming up. He would be gone all day, with Mother packing him a lunch so that he wouldn't have to make the long trek back for his noon meal. Everything depended on the weather. If it rained, there was no going to the back fields until everything had dried up. And when that happened I would see Father pacing in the barns, checking the sky, and I could see a tenseness in his shoulders, because getting on the land was all he could think about. When we got home from school, the boys knew they would be doing the chores. Father wouldn't be coming back from the far reaches of the farm until he had put in a good day's work. Supper would be late too. I would sit on the back stoop waiting to
see Father, like a dot in the sky, coming from beyond the west hill, walking behind the team. If he hadn't finished the field he was working on, the piece of machinery would be left there until the next day, when once again the long hours of daylight would find him in the farthest part of our farm. I could see a new tiredness in Father when it came time to work the land. Although he never seemed to lose his appetite, after supper his step was slower moving to the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. If it had been a very hot day, Mother would let the fire go out after our meal, but Father still favoured sitting with his feet up on the oven door, with the Ottawa Farm Journal in his lap. After the kitchen was redded up, and we children and Mother sat around the old pine table, I couldn't take
my eyes off Father. He would start reading, but that time of year, he never seemed to get beyond the first page. I would see his head start to nod, and his pipe, which rarely left his mouth, would fall to his chest, the paper would slide to the floor, and soon, he would be sound asleep. I was always amazed that the loud talk of my three brothers around the kitchen table, couldn't keep Father awake. Even when it was time for us to climb the stairs, I could still hear the soft snores, as his body slouched lower and lower into the old rocker. Mother would go over to him, and gently take his pipe, touch him on his shoulder, and pick up the Ottawa Farm Journal. He would be in his bed off the kitchen before the last of us was ready to go upstairs. Another day would be over for Father. Another day of trying to outsmart the

weather. Another day of back-breaking work in the far-off fields of that long strip of land in Northcote. I ached for him, but I knew our survival depended on those long hours spent down the hill from the barns, over the creek and past the west hill. And in my prayers I asked that he be given the strength to do what had to be done to help us survive the Depression raging all around us. The long winter months so far away, depended on it.

OPINION
Schumer serves up hilarious performance Entire cast works to bring plenty of laughs in 'I Feel Pretty,' Mark Haskins writes
MOVIE: I Feel Pretty STARRING: Amy Schumer, Rory Scovel, Aidy Bryant, Busy Phillips and Michelle Williams. DIRECTOR: Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein. RATING: 14A MARK HASKINS I Feel Pretty is basiColumn cally Cinderella, but instead of talking mice, glass slippers and a magic pumpkin our princess gets a concussion. It works out about the same, and makes slightly more sense. Renee (Amy Schumer) lives at the mercy of her insecurities. She's not happy with the way she looks, her hair, her weight or anything. It's a vicious dialogue that goes on in her head that convinces her she's not good enough, and steals her confidence. Then one day, after making a wish in a water fountain during a lightning storm, Renee goes to a spin class. About 30 seconds in she falls off the bike, and hits her head off the floor. When she comes to she looks at herself, she looks at the mirror, and she can't believe her eyes. Her wish has come true. All she sees is her gorgeous self. Nothing has really changed except Renee's perception, but perception dictates reality. Her best friends Vivian (Aidy Bryant) and Jane (Busy Philips) are confused, but there's no denying Renee's new confidence. She meets Ethan (Rory Scovel), and they start dating. She goes after her dream job of receptionist at high-end makeup company Lily LeClair. Her new boss, Avery LeClair (Michelle Williams) quickly promotes her. It's a crazy ride. It can't last, but while it does it's hilarious. I love this film. I laughed at the painfully awkward moments. I laughed at the toilet humour. I laughed at the physical gags. I laughed at Schumer, Williams and Scovel. I laughed out loud, and I was still laughing an hour after I saw the film. I'm still laughing a little bit as I write this review. The switcheroo isn't new, but having it happen inside the same character's head is a great premise, and I don't think anyone but Amy Schumer could pull it off. It's that most beautiful of cinematic events when the right script ends up with the perfect actor. I love a cast that isn't afraid to go for it. Aidy Bryant and Busy Phillips play the bemused, confused, but still funny best friends. I think Michelle Williams' character might have been the villain, but they avoid the mean girls cliché. Instead she's kind of Cinderella's fairy godmother, and very funny. Rory Scovel is the perfect yin to Schumer's yang. I Feel Pretty isn't just a really funny film. This movie has heart, and at its core it has a great message. Don't let the magazines, TV shows, movies or anything or anyone tell you you're not pretty. – Mark Haskins has been reviewing movies for more than 10 years. His column is a regular feature.

Almonte's Hike For Hospice enjoyed fine weather for the seventh annual event that usually raises about $11,000 for the organization. Held Sunday, May 6 at the beautiful Mill of Kintail Conservation Area trails, about 150 people came out for the petting zoo, barbecue, and jaunt through the countryside, past the historic grist mill and much more. The hospice centre for Mississippi Mills and Lanark County north - called Hub Hospice Palliative Care - is located on Clyde Street in town. From there are monthly meetings for some 25 volunteers, and the office for registered nurse Allison Griffith who oversees the various programs. "Really what we do is share the end of life journey with people," Griffith said. "And it's not just for terminally ill people. It's anyone

Volunteers go through a lengthy training process, privacy is paramount, Griffith said, and there is follow-up for families and volunteers alike. Sheila Boydell is a long-time volunteer with Hub Hospice. She said it can be sad to see someone you've gotten to know well pass from this world, but it is also privilege and an extraordinary expe-
rience to have. "It's a very, very rewarding experience," Boydell said. "You can develop good friendships. And I did have to step back one time. But I'm doing a good job by being with them. I love all my clients and I wouldn't change it for anything. It's well worth it." Hub Hospice has a variety of programs, including a bereavement support program, a 'good grief' walking group, and a one-
on-one grief companioning. "Our volunteers are as diverse as our programs," Griffith said. "Depending on their experience and gifts a volunteer may join our Friends of Hopsice, become a visiting volunteer, join our board or help in fundraising activities." Hospice organizations receive no government funding. For more information contact Griffith at Allison@hubhospice.com.

tions and treat those who I encounter on the campaign trail with respect." The local businessman served eight years as a councillor with the town (2006 to 2014), before running for the top spot in 2014, defeating incumbent Wendy LeBlanc. At that time, he noted his vision for Carleton Place was "to be-
come a leading municipality that supports existing local businesses, encouraging economic growth and community engagement." In his May 1 post, Antonakos indicated his goals haven't changed. "It will be a privilege to serve my community once again on town council," he stated. "I will do so by continuing to listen openly to
the concerns of all our community members with the continued goal of building a better Carleton Place, one that thrives economically and maintains that 'small town' feel in our neighbourhoods." Antonakos' first term as mayor hasn't been without its hurdles. Most recently, on Feb. 13, Carleton Place council approved sanctions against the mayor for
Antonakos disclosed confidential information from "at least one in-camera meeting," a complaint raised by Carleton Place property manager Wally Thorbjornsson. At that time, his salary was suspended for 90 days and 25 per cent of his 2017 discretionary fund was garnished. The Town of Carleton Place has indicated its can-
didates list will be updated each day at 4 p.m. on their website: www.carletonplace.ca. As of May 2, Antonakos and Donald Cram, who is seeking re-election as Upper Canada District School Board trustee (Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills), are the only candidates who have filed their papers. - With files from Tara Gesner

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The Municipality of Mississippi Mills has chosen a new chief administrative officer in Ken Becking. Council has spent two months searching for a new CAO since the departure of Diane Smithson to the Town of Carleton Place in early March. According to a press release issued by the municipality May 1, Becking is familiar with the region "and brings a wide range of expertise to the position, including public administration, municipal operations and program and project management." Becking most recently held the post of director of public works and engineering/city engineer with Owen Sound from August 2014 to January 2018. He has worked in municipal administration and management in the public and private sector for 30
years. Prior to his position with Owen Sound, he was also employed as public works director for the City of Kawartha Lakes (2005 to April 2010) and Renfrew County. "Mr. Becking brings experience and expertise that will complement the skillset of our existing senior staff," said Mayor Shaun McLaughlin. "We welcome him to Mississippi Mills and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship." Becking will begin his new role with Mississippi Mills on May 7. "I am excited about the opportunity to live and work in Mississippi Mills and I am committed to keeping operations running like a well-oiled machine while working with staff to solve problems in a constantly changing environment," he stated in the release. "Fostering commitment, team spirit, pride, trust and group identity are the foundations for achieving these outcomes."
Christa Lowry, Steve Maynard seek mayor's chair ship in the 1940s and 1950s and uncle Jim was also a councillor and reeve in the township. In a press release announcing her run for mayor, Lowry said she wants to build a stronger community and create more economic opportunities for the growing municipality. "My philosophy is that working together is the best way to find solutions," she stated. "And the best way to work together is through respectful communication. Anyone who comes to me with this approach receives my full attention, now and always, listening and discussing things as the neighbours that we are." Maynard, born and raised in Almonte, is the son of late community builder, Don Maynard. A former Almonte town councillor, elected in 1991 (he resigned for personal reasons in 1993), he established an ac-
ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com A current Mississippi Mills councillor and former Almonte councillor are the first to file their nomination papers to run for mayor. Ramsay ward Coun. Christa Lowry and Steve Maynard declared their intentions last week following the May 1 opening of the nomination period. Present mayor Shaun McLaughlin announced he will not seek re-election on April 30. Lowry, a nutritionist and professional musician, was elected to her first term of council in October 2014, earning the highest percentage of voter support for any council member - 82.4 per cent. She's an eighth generation Lowry, one of the area's largest farming families. Her great-grandfather Hollie, was a councillor and reeve of Ramsay Town-
counting business in 1990, but scaled it back in 2014 to return to school to become a paralegal. Maynard said he's thrown his hat into the ring to "restore council accountability, transparency and openness that is being denied to the residents and businesses of Mississippi Mills." Other goals are to increase affordable housing and daycare spaces, develop a plan to repair the municipality's roadways, sidewalks and infrastructure and establish fiscal responsibility. He wants "to make Mississippi Mills a community again by ensuring that it is built for inclusiveness, increasing community grants, giving people back control of their property, restoring parks and sports fields back to being functional and protecting parkland and open space."

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The following are issues discussed or brought up by Carleton Place council during the physical environment and planning and protection committee meetings, held May 1. With the purchase of a groomer for ball diamonds and trails, Carleton Place's parks and recreation department is adding to its fleet. Council members approved a recommendation of the parks and recreation committee to purchase a sixfoot Bannerman ball diamond field groomer in the amount of $4,494 plus HST from Reis Equipment. An amount of $6,500 was included in the municipality's 2018 budget. Hartington Equipment also provided the town with a price for the equipment: $4,590 plus HST. Parks and recreation manager Joanne Henderson noted: "We currently do not have any equipment to groom
trails, therefore, this will be a great asset to our fleet." Cavanagh winning bid Carleton Place is entering into a contract with Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd. for the construction of two 350 mm force mains, from Cavanagh Road to Stonewater Bay, and the construction of Roe Street. In addition to Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd., three other companies bid on the work: CACE Construction, Site Preparation Ltd. and Ottawa Greenbelt construction. Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd.'s cost of the force main project is $1,180,511.20 excluding HST, and the construction of Roe Street is pegged at $271,488.80 excluding HST. "Those were good bids," Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn commented. Director of public works Dave Young noted, "Both numbers are a little bit over budget." For the force main work, $1,150,000 was included in the

At the beginning of the month, firefighter Chris Fisher was promoted to the rank of captain. He has been with the OWFC since June 2002. Now, the OWFC has five captains: Fisher, Rick Jackson, Al Johns, Mike Williams and Jason Jackson. Reynolds noted "a serious structure fire" occurred in the early hours of March 11 at 130 Industrial Ave., in the Dunlop Business Park. One two-level industrial building was reduced to rubble. Damage was pegged at $500,000. "During the fire we asked for and received mutual aid from neighbouring departments in Beckwith and Mississippi Mills," Reynolds noted. The combined efforts prevented the blaze from being much worse.

COUNTY
County endorses Bodnar subdivision in Carleton Place
ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Public outcry against the proposed Bodnar subdivision in Carleton Place did little to sway Lanark County councillors April 25. During the county's economic development committee meeting it was recommended the subdivision be given draft approval. The matter was expected to be passed at the May 9 county council session. The subdivision, planned for a 61.3-acre parcel of land fronting on Lake Avenue and Highway 7, has been a concern for members of the public for nearly two years. To be constructed by Cavanagh Developments, it will encompass 193 lots for single detached dwellings, 26 blocks for 317 townhouses and one block for a 72-unit apartment building. The big issue surrounds how to deal with stormwater management concerns on the site. It is being addressed through a stormwater management pond in Roy Brown Park, but residents remain worried about the possible contamination of the town's drinking water supply. Carleton Place's manager of development services, Joanna Bowes, appeared as a delegation before the economic development committee April 25. She said that due to public concerns
POWER RECLINERS & SOFAS
and those from the town's urban forest and river corridor committee, a peer review of the reports and Environmental Impact Statement, undertaken by J.F. Sabourin was authorized. It was completed from September to December 2017. "It was determined that many of the issues had been addressed in the initial report, although some of the issues would have to be further explored at the time of detailed design," she explained, noting the project has been reviewed by engineers with the developer, the town, J.F. Sabourin and the Ministry of Environment (MOE). "The Bodnar subdivision, submitted by Cavanagh Construction, meets and in some cases exceeds the required legislation and policies, including the requirements of the Clean Water Act," Bowes said. However, resident Gerry Andrews, believes enough isn't being done to protect the basic rights of Carleton Place citizens when it comes to safe drinking water. "I've seen a lot of proposals in my career and some are very good and some are terrible. Unfortunately, this proposal falls into the latter category," he commented, adding that municipal officials are legally obligated to safeguard drinking water for users. Andrews said complacency is one of the greatest
risks when it comes to drinking water protection and cautioned that "engineering solutions alone are no longer adequate." "You need an integrated ecological approach using best management practices," he continued. With the impact of climate change, Andrews questioned the validity of the stormwater management plan. "This is 400 metres upstream from the intake pipe for Carleton Place's drinking water from the Mississippi River. This doesn't make sense." He urged council to "think outside the box" and use the natural features in place to create a 200-metre wide vegetative buffer south of Lake Avenue West. Janet McInnis, a member of the citizen-led CPH20 Watch Group, said the scrutiny of this plan of subdivision has been valuable. She indicated that if a member of public hadn't pointed out in the engineering report that raw, human sewage was to be directed into the stormwater management pond, it would still be part of the plan. "There are risks that have not been seriously considered or adequately addressed through the standard process," she pointed out. " ... Because the plan of subdivision is in proximity to our intake, it should be subject to higher standards of review and scrutiny."
McInnis said stormwater isn't just rainwater, but contains materials from "our roads, sidewalks, roofs, phosphorous, feces, etc." "The MOE classifies stormwater as sewage," she stated. "But it can be management with low-impact methods." In a letter dated April 17 and addressed to county council, the group outlined their concerns of the development, including the negative impact on the town's water supply, little regard for the provincially designated Drinking Water Protection Zone (IPZ9), wetlands, no incorporation of low-impact development (LID) strategies, and monitoring for stormwater management systems. " ... The quality and safety of our drinking water is of paramount concern," the letter stated. "Adding a potential risk to our drinking water seems unthinkable. The cost of not addressing this issue without more due diligence is not acceptable when the cost of the potential outcome is so high." McInnis said the town has no experience in managing or monitoring a pond which is discharging in such a sensitive location. Chris Collins, manager for Cavanagh Developments, said that as a resident of the community, he l See PUBLIC, page 14

Judicial pre-trial scheduled in assault case involving councillor TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A criminal case involving a Carleton Place councillor was back before the provincial court in Perth on May 7. Facing a charge of assault, Doug Black did not appear in person but was represented by articling student Shreyas Moorti who was acting as agent on behalf of the Alex M. Ferguson Law Office in Carleton Place. Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police charged Black on Feb. 2 after an alleged altercation with
Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos in the town hall's main foyer. On Monday, it was the fifth time Black's case was spoken to, with previous dates being March 5, March 19, April 9 and April 23. According to Justice of the Peace Jocelyne St Jean, a judicial pre-trial (JPT) is scheduled for May 15 at 1:30 p.m. in Perth "with possible resolution." A JPT is similar to a Crown pre-trial (CPT) but held before a judge. During a CPT, the Crown and a defendant's lawyer or duty counsel meet in private outside the
courtroom, having a meaningful talk about a case. Ferguson and Scott conducted a CPT on March 14. Too, they spoke a couple of times after that. A JPT, typically held in a judge's chambers, moves a case toward trial or resolution. The meeting is always off the record. Discussion can involve: resolution options, including withdrawals or guilty pleas; accurate trial estimates; and procedural and evidentiary issues to promote the proper use of trial time. Black is not permitted to attend Wednesday's JPT. On Feb. 5, in a statement
CHEO DAY
to local residents, Black claimed, "I am innocent." Too, he apologized "for this distraction and the negative publicity it has brought to our community." Antonakos has not spoken publicly about the matter. Black is a four-term Carleton Place councillor, elected in 1980, 1982, 2010 and 2014. Before being elected to the office of mayor in 2014, Antonakos served two consecutive terms as a councillor, from 2006 to 2010 and 2010 to 2014. The assault charge has not been proven in court.

Public concerned about impact on water supply
l Continued from page 8
wouldn't be proposing a development that could have a negative impact on the town's water supply. "We moved forward with designing a project that would best meet the needs for every stakeholder involved, not just us," he said. " ... I'm a private resident of Carleton Place as well and I'm concerned about the water in the town," Collins added. He reminded those in attendance that originally two stormwater management ponds were proposed, as the town was going to place one in Roy Brown Park, and Cavanagh also required one for its development. "But two ponds being maintained by the town didn't make sense, so we
joined efforts which seemed to be the most reasonable and cost effective idea." In order to keep it as far away from the town's water intake, the pond is planned for the west portion of the property at the outer limits of IPZ9. "It is the best location for that pond," Collins said. "If we had our own pond for the subdivision, it would be 250-400 metres closer to the water intake." Collins said Cavanagh has gone out of their way to try and address public concerns. "We hired consultants that were experts and applied for policies," he stated. "Everything that we've done falls within the policies, within the guidelines and we're not looking at any that fall outside."
He said the MOE is the authority that approves the design of the plan "and if they didn't like the design, they wouldn't have given us approval." Pointing out that the town has approved other projects where water enters the river at a closer distance, "putting the onus just on our development as the source of killing the water and the people of Carleton Place seems a little outrageous." Planner Kevin Mooder of Jp2g Consulting, who was hired by the county to examine the draft plan, said "this subdivision is expected to go at least four to five phases so it will be seen by this council quite a bit," he stated. Mooder said all requirements had been satisfied by
the developer and he was recommended draft approval of the subdivision. Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills Coun.) voted in favour of the development. "One of the things that's often difficult is for the public to have faith in the conditions ... all of the concerns tonight are addressed there," she said. Noting that it's been a long process, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place Mayor) said improvements can always be made to strengthen public engagement. "I think we can do better when it comes to informing our residents, the advisory groups and even members of council when going through the process ... I will be supporting it," he stated.

The Carleton Place Canadians missed out on a spot in the playoff round of the 2018 Fred Page Cup May 4 after being ousted from the tournament by the Edmundston Blizzard. The Canadians fell by a score of 5-3 to the Blizzard. The host Ottawa Jr. Senators, who beat the Canadians to claim the CCHL championship in April, would go on to win the tournament and a berth to the RBC Cup. The MHL's Blizzard opened scoring in the first period with a power play goal by Dany Coulombe at 2:09.
