OPP to dispatch nurse for mental health calls

LCMH to hire health professional for OPP collaboration LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com There is a new mental health initiative coming to Lanark County will see the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH)

band together to offer help for those suffering with mental health issues. The OPP were successful with a Proceeds of Crime grant submission to obtain registered community mental health nurse. This person will be hired

by LCMH within about 60 days and will have an office at the OPP detachment in Perth. "We were one of six OPP detachments in the province to get one of these grants (in May), so we're pretty proud of that," said Insp. Derek Needham on Tuesday, June 5, who spoke about this at the detachment in Perth.

Needham, along with Diana McDonnell, the executive director at LCMH, travelled to Wellington County to study the model between the Guelph Police Service and Canadian Mental Health in Wellington County, who employs four mental health nurses. McDonnell said they got lots of information from the Guelph trip, and then submitted a grant proposal to the South East Local Health Integration Network, to make them aware of the need, and to seek funding. They weren't successful with the funding application, but McDonnell said she is hopeful that the second grant proposal she recently submitted will be accepted for the 2018/19 fiscal year. LCMH will subsidize the position this year for a .8 staff member. "(Needham) and I have been talking about a collaboration like this for a number of years, and we're glad that it's finally coming to fruition," McDonnell said. "We're excited about this opportunity to be able to collaborate on it." For the OPP officers, Needham said this new health care professional will be at the officers' disposal for any call where there are obvious or apparent mental health issues. Where it became relevant was in cases of where there was consideration by the officer to apprehend the person or bring them to the hospital under the Mental Health Act. "If we think someone is suffering under the Mental Health Act and they are essentially a danger to themselves or to others then we apprehend them and bring them to the Emergency Room and a physician will evaluate them and decide whether or not to hold them for a 72-hour evaluation," Needham said. Police will now have an option to call on the mental health nurse to help articulate those needs to the physician. "But more importantly, in cases in which there is something that isn't quite right, and the person is struggling in some way and

Marc Hemmerick (administrative support), who will be helping dispatch the new health nurse that will be on board at the detachment in the coming weeks. the officer doesn't want to leave the person in their house, but the chances of them being admitted to the hospital under a Form 1 of the Mental Health Act is slim, now there is something in between. That mental health nurse is part of the health system, can connect that person with (services) on the spot without having to take them out of their homes." OPP hope to reduce the number of people brought to the ER. Lanark County OPP have been "very successful" with the situation table. The number of people referred to it and who have received intervention strategies, have lower repeat offender stats. "We have had a very good track record in the past two years in Lanark County and we have the stats to back that up," he said. "What we're seeking to do with this collaborative is advance that yard stick a little bit further." Instead of waiting for third, fourth, fifth contact with police, Needham said, "We're maybe getting to

these people on first contact. We might not see them again - the ER may not see them repetitively - so we can reduce some visits." The public health nurse will be hired by LCMH and work out of the Lanark County OPP detachment, and will be deployed when needed by the officers. "We will also be checking on people who are known to us who have some struggle and an increased risk; we'll go out and check on them (with the health nurse) and see how they're doing," Needham said. For instance, the number of suicides in Lanark County may surprise some people he said, and having a mental health nurse on staff may help save a life. "There are so many benefits to this," Needham said. "It's a pretty exciting position to be in. We have the business demand for two full time mental health nurses, but the funding will only allow for (.8) at this time." The detachment has l See NURSE, page 5

At a Special Community Services Committee meeting on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 county council directed that staff move forward with the recommendation to assume the management and administration of the Lanark County Housing Corporation (LCHC) under the direct umbrella of the County operations, more specifically the Lanark County Social Services Department. The status of the LCHC will be maintained as a "shell corporation." Currently the Lanark County Housing Corporation operates as a separate corporation reporting to a Board of Directors, with the role of the service manager being provided by the Lanark County Social Services Department. While the Lanark County Housing Corporation has provided excellent service to its tenants across the county this merger supports integration of county services, provides for efficiencies, simplifies reporting and approval lines, and will ensure effective long-term service planning. It is also seen as a very positive step in the delivery of affordable housing and the access to service that will be provided to the tenants of the approximately 533 housing units at 26 different locations in Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Perth and Smiths Falls. Ultimately, housing tenants will be afforded the opportunity to access full services through Lanark County Social Services offices to meet their needs. The social housing tenants, community stakeholders and members of the public can expect a seamless transition with minimal, if any disruptions. Management of the Service Delivery Transition Plan will be supported by an Implementation Team, consisting of the Lanark County Director of Social Services, Finance, HR and the Interim Executive Director of LCHC. The plan has been developed to guide the integration of the Lanark County Housing Corporation (LCHC) into the Lanark County Social Housing program, under the Social Services Department, no later than Jan. 1, 2019. The new department will be entitled Housing Services, and the current 13 LCHC staff will be offered employment with Lanark County. – submitted by Lanark County

Seventeen local young women have received monetary awards from the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District to help them achieve their post-secondary educational goals. It is always a humbling experience for the Education Awards committee to review the application forms, conduct interviews and shortlist the candidates. Most of us feel we'd never have made the cut, back in our day! One of this year's recipients, Cristi Wilkinson, won the Helen Rose Centenarian Award, a one-time award provided by the family of Helen Rose Smith in honour of her 100th birthday last August. The 2018 Education Award recipients are going on to post-secondary institutions to study in a wide range of disciplines: psychology, neuroscience, kinesiology, nursing, architecture and engineering, environmental science, dentistry, social sciences, forensic science, developmental services work, aviation management, global development, accounting, early childhood education and office management. They are remarkable women with guts, grit and drive. Each March, CFUW Perth & District puts out a call to the guidance departments of all the secondary schools in the area, and all the youth organizations, for applications for our award competition. A set deadline exists, and once all applications are in, they are summarized and reviewed. The main focus of the evaluation is women in financial need going on to post-secondary education, though completeness of the application is also taken into consideration. This year, 32 candidates were appraised. The money for these awards comes primarily from our club's major fundraising event, The Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour. Each year, eight homeowners graciously allow their homes to be opened to the public on the first weekend in December. These unique residences are decked out in all their holiday finery by the homeowners and local decorators and florists. Community restaurants and businesses sponsor homes, purchase advertising or provide gift certificates to the cause. Well over 200 people donate their time and skills each year to make the house tour such a financial success. Those of you who have attended the house tour each year since its inception have visited almost 100 homes. Over the past dozen years, CFUW Perth & District has provided over $200,000 in awards to local women, and donations to local libraries and youth services such as YAK and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Planning is already underway for the 2018 CFUW Christmas House Tour slated for Dec. 1 and 2, so mark your calendars now. – submitted by CFUW Perth & District

"This is leveraging the successes that we already enjoy in Lanark County with the success of all of our service partners and we're advancing it that much further to try and reach people who are at risk. “It's shifting our focus to reacting to a call to being proactive, which is a big step in terms of not only making us more efficient but making Lanark County a more health community overall," Needham stressed. "The last thing we want to do is criminalize mental health."

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Hillier returning to Queen's Park as part of PC majority TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Blue pride engulfed supporters as Progressive Conservative Randy Hillier celebrated his fourth provincial election victory. Hillier was returned as MPP in his home riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston Thursday night, June 7, with 52 per cent of the vote. He beat out NDP candidate Ramsey Hart, who won 30.5 per cent of the vote, and Liberal and Green contenders Amanda Pulker-Mok and Anita Payne, who won 10.5 per cent and 4.8 per cent respectively. Other nominees were John McEwen (Independent) and Steve Gebhardt (Libertarian). The re-elected MPP will join a Progressive Conservative majority at Queen's Park, led by Premier Doug

Ford. Most major news outlets called the election minutes after polls closed, and the PC majority less than half an hour later. After Hillier's victory was declared, he said it was "absolutely long overdue ... for Ontario to get back on track. Back to a government we can have respect in. An accountable and honest government. A government that will work for rural and small town Ontario. This is great news for Carleton Place, great news for Lanark County, great news for Frontenac County ... and everybody in Ontario." Hillier thanked his campaign volunteers and praised the other candidates for running their respective campaigns. "I can't find the words to adequately describe the pride and appreciation I

feel being elected for the fourth time in this area," Hillier continued. "[The support from my constituents] gives me strength down at Queen's Park to do the things I do." He said he's looking forward to the next four years, noting "it will feel a bit odd going to the other side of the aisle." In 2007, Hillier sought and won the Progressive Conservative nomination in the riding of LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington. During the election that year, he won one of three new seats for the party. Hillier was reelected in 2011 and 2014. The riding of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston includes all of Lanark Country, including Perth and Smiths Falls, the entirety of Frontenac County and the portion of the City of

Kingston north of Highway 401. New Democratic Party sees rise in support in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston Though first-time candidate for the Ontario New Democratic Party, Ramsey Hart, didn't get a seat in the provincial legislature, he did help bring out NDP support in a largely Conservative riding to new heights. And, when it came to game time, it was largely a fight between orange and blue in Ontario - something that has not happened in recent memory. "Something is changing," said Hart of his campaign, which was waged against an established incumbent. "We have a lot to be proud of. This was the strongest result for the NDP in this riding in a long time." Hart won about 10 per cent more of the vote for the NDP than in the previous election, and brought the NDP up from third place to second place in the riding. Hart remarked that "it

Lanark County council supports EORN in principle for broadband/cell project Following a presentation by Lisa Severson and Mike Rutter of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network earlier this month, Lanark County council passed a motion to support, in principle, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network's mobile broadband/cell project for between $574,000 and $802,000 for consideration during 2019 budget deliberations. Building on a previous project that saw broadband services greatly expanded across eastern Ontario, this next phase is a public/ private partnership that aims to grow the region's economy and create jobs, improve public safety and health-care delivery, support the provincial push toward 5G and the new digi-

tal economy, and provide an additional option to connect to the internet. It plans to do this by extending mobile broadband services to eastern Ontario through improved existing cellular networks and closing coverage and capacity gaps. The project aims to reduce the coverage gap to less than one per cent and to increase data capacity. Partners in the project include the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus, the Eastern Ontario Mayors' Caucus, the provincial and federal governments, and mobile carriers. The province is contributing $71 million to the project, and the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) is awaiting confirmation of a commitment

from the federal government. Depending on the amounts contributed by other municipal partners, Lanark County's contribution would be between $574,000 and $802,000. To meet internet bandwidth and speed targets set by the CRTC, EORN has been authorized to do a technical and financial analysis on a county-bycounty basis. Lanark's portion would be $40,000, which was approved by council for 2018. Requests for proposals, as well as awards and construction, are expected to take place over the next two years. For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, chief administrative officer, at 1888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101.

ABOUT US

Have a healthy, happy Father's Day Sunday marks Father's Day, and what better way to celebrate than with healthy males in your life. Canadian Men's Health Week is a nationally recognized week dedicated to improving the health of men in our country. From June 11 to 17, the week serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of men's health issues and provide tips and tools for men and their families to live healthier lives. New Canadian research, conducted on behalf of the Canadian Men's Health Foundation, finds 72 per cent of men regularly demonstrate two or more unhealthy habits, including a poor diet, smoking cigarettes, problem drinking, not exercising or not getting regular sleep. The study is the first in this country to look at health behaviours rather than diseases, and the first to simultaneously look at five key health behaviours that help prevent chronic disease (diet, sleep, exercise, smoking and drinking). • 62 per cent of Canadian men have an unhealthy diet; • 54 per cent of Canadian men under or over sleep; • 59 per cent of Canadian men do not get 150 minutes of moderate-to-strenuous exercise per week; • 39 per cent of Canadian men have unhealthy alcohol consumption; and • 20 per cent of Canadian men smoke cigarettes. Only six per cent of respondents exhibited no unhealthy behaviours and were classified as 'very healthy.' Those who exhibited one bad habit were deemed healthy (22 per cent). Men with two unhealthy behaviours were considered borderline (31 per cent) and those with three or more of the above behaviours were classified as unhealthy (42 per cent). Wayne Hartrick, president of the CMHF, points out that it doesn't take much for a man to go from the "unhealthy" category to the "healthy" category. "Think of these categories as a ladder. Most Canadian men can move up a rung by changing only one bad habit. They can go up two rungs by changing two behaviours, like eating five fist-sized servings of fruit and getting seven hours of sleep. The CMHF website DontChangeMuch.ca offers easy to follow, medically-backed simple tips and tools to help men and their families live healthier lives. Canadian Men's Health Foundation (CMHF) is a national, not for profit organization with a mission to inspire Canadian men and their families to live healthier lives.

Turtles need a 'brake' Dear Editor, We live on Elm Grove Road and we have notice an increase in turtle activity. On Friday, my husband and I saw two turtles on a stretch of Elm Grove simultaneously. He dashed out one side of the truck, and I the other. He tripped and twisted his ankle, but saved the turtle. To date, we have saved five turtles; four were in good condition, but one was hit by a car. We watched several vehicles pass by the injured turtle while it lay helpless. We stopped, picked up his broken body and brought him to a vet where a pick-up was organized to bring the little guy to Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre (Napanee)

During this season we see several tourists in the area who are not paying attention to turtle crossings. We are facing a loss of species because of this inaction by humans. All lives matter. By being silent we are equally part of a problem. Please contact your vet to find out where you can take an injured turtle. In the meantime, slow down. If you see one on the roadway, brake for it, and with your safety first, help it across in the same direction he/she was going.

Funding partners and more than 60 guests gathered to celebrate the opening of the newly refreshed and rehabilitated Baxter Pond May 24. Located at the Baxter Conservation Area in Kars, the Baxter ASL Pond is visited annually by more than 5,000 students from kindergarten to university looking to learn about pond ecology. It is home to frogs, fish, turtles, birds and aquatic invertebrates and visited by children who get to observe the diversity of life hiding along its shores and in its cool waters. It is here where students learn about freshwater pond habitat and how animals adapt to life under water. Equipped with nets, basins and sporting good old-fashioned rubber boots, students get up close and personal with the animals that call the pond home. Although still teeming with life, the pond wasn't as healthy and resilient as it could be. Dry summers were taking a toll on the shallow pond. It was time to gently deepen its bed, thin-out excessive vegetation, add wood materials as habitat, plant shoreline shrubs and install new platforms for future outdoor learning. And thanks

to several communityminded partners, the pond was able to get the TLC it well deserved. The project was jumpstarted with an in-kind donation by ASL Agrodrain Earth Works Contractors. From here, additional funders were quick to jump onboard and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority's (RVCA) rehabilitation plan was put in motion. "The pond is a remarkable, vibrant area - and these restoration efforts will only make it better," said Jennifer Lamoureux, RVCA biologist who oversaw the project. "Last summer was quite wet, this meant that the pond habitat was really robust and meant that over 4,000 fish, frogs, tadpoles and turtles were relocated by RVCA staff last fall before the restoration project began. This included six largemouth bass and a brown bullhead with eight yearlings. We are confident that deepening the pond will only improve its biodiversity and ensure it continues as a special spot for children to explore and learn." The newly restored pond now boasts a variety of side slopes that allow for more diverse plant growth

and also provide safe learning areas for keen kids. Wood material, in and out of the water, now acts as homes for fish, frogs and turtles while freshly planted native trees and shrubs will add to the pond's shoreline vegetation. In the meantime, educations programs are fully booked over the next few months to the end of the school year. "We are excited to welcome children back to the pond," said Andrea Wood, RVCA area supervisor and interpreter. "Our programs are interactive and provide students with a hands-on approach to learning and the Baxter ASL Pond is an important part of the experience." Special thanks to the funders who made the restoration project possible: ASL Agrodrain, the Canadian Armed Forces Fish and Game Club, Canon Canada, City of Ottawa, Don Maciver Memorial Fund, Kiwanis Club of Manotick, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Zone F, TD Friends of the Environment, along with Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation. – submitted by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority

RVCA plants 275,000 trees this spring tablishment. "Our program is focused on increasing forest cover throughout our watershed. So much of the land is privately owned so we work with local landowners to provide them with easy and affordable tree planting services," said Scott Danford, RVCA forestry manager. Typical costs for the full-service tree-planting program are $0.15/tree ($120/acre). The RVCA and its planting partners cover all additional costs. "We have numerous community-minded partners who support our tree planting program and help reduce the costs for landowners," said Danford. – submitted by the RVCA

At 126 years old, 'Charley's Aunt' is still a spry old lady In a program note, the director (and script adapter) of BarnDoor Productions' Charley's Aunt notes that Brandon Thomas' original script is 115 pages long and runs over three hours plus two intermissions. That's all well for 1892, but modern audiences tend to want something a little snappier for their entertainment. The new adaptation that BarnDoor has brought to the stage runs under half of that - with just one intermission. That's a major chunk of a classic script to remove. So, does it work? If early audience reaction is any guide, it works in spades. The laughs start early and continue through to the end. The show is fast-paced and full of surprises. When you consider that Charley's

Aunt is 126 years old, the old lady is still plenty spry. The plot is very simple: a couple of Victorian Oxford students want to invite their girls over for tea in order to propose. Of course, without a chaperone, the girls could never come, but, luckily, a widowed aunt is coming to visit - the perfect excuse! However, when the aunt can't come after all, a school chum is unwillingly recruited to fill in for her and the plot is off and running. Think of the sweet old granny in the Sylvester and Tweety Bird cartoons and you've hit Charley's Aunt exactly. From pre-show music of light Victorian melodies to a set that is built around an enticing number of slam-able doors, it's a promise of a summer evening of fun entertain-

ment, and BarnDoor Productions' company of ten community players doesn't disappoint. David Bird is the slightly swaggering old soldier, Sir Francis, who is swept up in the shenanigans and finds romance with Shiraz Ings (her first role for BDP in more than a decade). The pair sport authentic British accents which help place the locale of the play. Greg Morris gives his best BDP performance Spettigue, a cranky old uncle, running in and out the doors with abandon. Jerry Logan, in his first BDP appearance, gets lots of laughs as Brassett, the required sarcastic butler, sometimes just from standing still and watching. A trio of young women all making their BarnDoor debuts get caught in the whirl as well. Kaija

Evangelho is Ela, an orphaned young lady who finds true love, Abigail Gagnon is Kitty, who is determined she's going to find true love if it kills someone, and Grace Poltrack is Amy, whose eagerness for true love is tempered by just a hint of a temper. That leaves a trio of young men to go with the young ladies. Josh Burley makes his stage debut in the role of Jack, in whose rooms the play takes place. Burley is tall and handsome and plays Jack with a slightly bewildered air that keeps Jack catching up to the hurricane around him. Slade Stoodley is Charley, he whose aunt is coming to visit and he keeps the action, both physical and verbal, coming at breakneck page. Finally, there's Tyler

Street, a young man who has become a staple on BarnDoor's stage. Tyler is the young Lord Fancourt Babberly, who is everything his name implies, but a lot more as well. Shanghaied into being Charley's aunt, Street attacks the role with gusto, skirts and petticoats flying as he hurls himself in and out the many doors of the set, as well as flipping vocally from young man to old lady on the instant. Among many other moments, his reactions to receiving not one but two proposals of marriage get big laughs. Charley's Aunt is believed to have never been off the stage since its debut in 1892 - someone, somewhere, has been performing it every day since then. In its original form, though, it's starting to show its age. BarnDoor

Productions hopes their new adaptation will bring this classic "chestnut" back for another 126 years. The run of the show has been extended by a week, with performances Thursday through Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. through June 24. Tickets are just $20 reserved. Reserving tickets is simplicity itself: just put a phone to your ear, call 613 267 1884 and say "I'd like to reserve some tickets for Charley's Aunt". No credit cards needed; cash at the performance is requested. All performances at Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Come out and meet Charley's aunt - and Charley's Aunt. You'll have fun doing both! – submitted by BarnDoor Productions

Golf Fun Day, lobster dinner to support Canadian Guide Dogs A nine and dine Golf Fun Day and lobster dinner will take place on Sunday, June 24, at the Canadian Golf & Country Club, 7800 Golf Club Way, Ashton. Proceeds will support Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. The day features nine holes of golf with cart, plus a scrumptious, full lobster dinner to follow (chicken and vegetarian options, too). Shotgun start is 2 p.m., with dinner at 5:30 p.m., and plenty of prizes, including the chance to win $10,000 cash on a par-3 hole-in-one and to participate in the $5,000 putting competition. This is meant as a fun day of golf. Experienced players

are certainly welcome; however, new or occasional golfers are encouraged to join in the fun, with no pressure! Cost is $105 per player. Sign up to play today, or get more information, at www.guidedogs.ca or phone 613-692-7777. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. The organization has provided more than 840 professionally trained guide dogs to Canadians who are visually impaired, from coast to coast. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind also operates an Assistance Dogs Division, which trains assistance dogs for individuals in the Ottawa area

The Leisure Seeker is Studio Theatre's movie for June, and it's a pure pleasure for anyone who appreciates great acting. The film stars Oscar winner Helen Mirren and Canadian acting legend Donald Sutherland as a couple of aging adventurers off on one boisterous, bittersweet final road trip together. Ella (Mirren) is dying of cancer, and John (Sutherland) is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Neither is interested in quietly fading away surrounded by nurses and machines, needlessly prolonging a winnowing life. With the end of the road in sight, Ella opts to tune up their vintage RV and hit the highway, travelling from Boston to Florida with John behind the wheel. He may not always be cognizant of the nature of their trip - she assures him it's just a vacation but he gets into the spirit. As they pass through cities and towns, they see how much the world they knew has changed, and they're determined to leave it on a graceful note. Despite the sombre rationale behind Ella and John's journey, The Leisure Seeker brims with humour, affection, observation, and more than a little satire. It's a wise and witty road movie, and an acting tour de force featuring two of today's most cherished actors. The Leisure Seeker plays for one showing only at the Studio Theatre on Friday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m. NOTE: Coarse language; ages 16+. Movies at the Studio Theatre are shown on a large nine-by-16-foot screen, with comfortable seats, great sound, and popcorn too! Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for children under 12 at the door and in advance at Tickets Please, where a $2 fee applies. Watch this space for upcoming adult and children's features, and visit studiotheatreperth.com for updates. We hope you'll join your friends and neighbours for a great evening at the movies! – submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre

More than 30 new classes will be visiting the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority's two flagship outdoor education centres, thanks to special funding through the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation, the Ottawa Community Foundation and TD Friends of the Environment. Subsidies are now available to cover busing costs for schools visiting Baxter and Foley Mountain. Separate subsides are also available to priority schools visiting Baxter who need assistance covering program and busing costs. Baxter Conservation Area, located in the City of Ottawa near Kars and Foley Mountain Con-

servation Area in Westport, will welcome some 1,800 additional students during the 2018-19 school year, thanks to this funding. Owned and operated by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) these two popular outdoor destinations offer education programming year-round to nursery schools, daycares, homeschooling groups, public and private schools, and community groups. Each year, over 10,000 children participate in these interactive, curriculum-based programs. "Our outdoor programs are carefully crafted, innovative and reflect the Ontario curriculum," said Andrea Wood, Baxter Con-

servation Area supervisor and interpreter. "We are so excited to offer this special funding - we want everyone to access our programs because the best way to learn about nature is to experience it." Programs can be a half-day or a full-day and look to provide students with a strong understanding of our natural world, how it functions and how humans fit into it. Topics include beaver pond ecology, forest habitats, orienteering and snowshoeing. All programs are interactive and experiential, to provide students with a "hands-on" approach to learning about natural science in our "Ecology Lab."

"We are constantly looking for ways to make our programming more accessible," said Rebecca Whitman, Foley Mountain Conservation Area supervisor and interpreter. "We look to remove barriers - through accessible trails, low program cost and now special subsidies." Teachers who are interested in this opportunity are invited to

contact Baxter and Foley Mountain Conservation Areas directly. "We are looking to foster a lifelong relationship between children and the natural world," said Whitman. "Learning outdoors is a wonderful adventure, and we believe children learn best by doing." – submitted by Rideau Valley Conservation Authority

Discover modern hosta plants The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society (SFHS) is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 19. Everyone is welcome. There is a cost of $3 for nonmembers. Hostas are a huge favourite of gardeners. There is an endless variety of shapes, colours and sizes. This month we present Suzanne Patry owner of Whitehouse Perennials near Almonte. In business for more than 30 years, the centre now grows and sells more than just perennials. Suzanne will be telling us about "modern" hostas that are now available. Come out and learn about these new varieties and bring any questions you may have. Winners of the May photo contest will be posted at a later date.

The topic for June is A Picture of a Dragonfly on a Flower. The next contest is in September where the photo is that of a sunflower. The sunflower was adopted as the official flower of our local society. The winning photo will be featured on the cover of the 2019 Yearbook. Remember you can send your entry with a friend if you are unable to attend. June is our first official flower show meaning that it is a judged event. Division 1 includes various flowers as well as vegetables. The classes are listed on page 11 of the yearbook and all are common to most gardens so bring in your best to display. We had a very successful plant sale this year with plenty of plants available. Our Garden of the Month win-

18 OPINION

How to protect your trees from the eastern tent caterpillar Dale Odorizzi writes about Eastern tent caterpillars As you walk around your yard and look at the beautiful buds on your apple and cherry trees, you notice what looks like a tent made from cobwebs. Guess what? You have a nest of eastern tent caterpillars. And, if you have one nest, you likely have many. Eastern tent caterpillars feed on deciduous trees such as apple, birch, willow and wild cherry. A large infestation can strip most of the leaves from your trees. The tents form

in the forks and crotches of the tree's branches. It provides protection for the caterpillars that live inside. A fully grown tent caterpillar can grow six centimetres long, is hairy, and black with a cream-coloured stripe down its back. It may also have blue spots and brown and yellow stripes along the side of its body. The life cycle of this little beast is egg, larva, pupa and adult. In June or July, the female adult, a reddishbrown moth, lays her eggs on a branch. The eggs are laid in masses of up to 300 eggs, held together by a foam-like substance. The following spring, when the leaves appear, the eggs hatch into the larva stage (caterpillar). This is the

stage of life that causes all the damage. The caterpillars feed for five to seven weeks, until they mature. In early July, the caterpillar spins a cocoon and pupates for two weeks. After emerging, the moths mate, and eggs are laid within 24 hours. If you have the types of trees they like, you have various opportunities to monitor and control them. Check for egg masses in the fall and early spring. Scrape off the masses using your thumbnail or a knife, and put them into a bucket then put them in the garbage. Look for small, silk-like tents late in the spring and remove them, to prevent the moths from breeding.

When the caterpillars are active, go out at night when they are back in their tent and prune off small branches and destroy the tents. You can also cut the tent open and use your fingers to squish all the caterpillars inside. Squeamish people use gloves. Put them in a bucket of soapy water. Spraying your trees with dormant oil spray may prevent the caterpillars from being active, but read the instructions carefully, or you may cause more damage to your trees than you prevent. At our last Master Gardener meeting, we were talking about these caterpillars, and we reminisced about tools we have used in the past. Someone used one

of the flame-thrower tools you can buy online. Another person told about the old days when she was a kid and they wrapped cloth around a broom handle, dipped it gasoline and burned them off. Another told of an irate neighbour who said it was not neighbourly to leave the crabapple tree with all those tents. The neighbour lent her a tall stepladder and a blowtorch, and she spent a couple of satisfying hours frying the little fellows. We all agreed these were not the preferred approaches:although they did the job, it would be very easy to damage your tree. Healthy trees rarely have any lasting damage from the invasion of tent

caterpillars. Make sure your trees are well watered. With tall, mature trees it is difficult to implement any control, but they usually have sufficient leaves to survive. If you like nature - and you usually do if you are a gardener - keep in mind that birds enjoy a nice feast of caterpillars. Many are hatching their young when the caterpillars hatch. In fact, both black-billed and yellow-billed cuckoos are around in greater numbers when there is a caterpillar infestation. – Dale Odorizzi is a member of the Lanark County Master Gardeners.

OPINION

Despite lessons, Father never trusted the bank, Mary Cook writes The whole idea to Father was just a shade offcentre. He had never heard of children being encouraged to put money in a bank. Didn't everyone know there was a Depression on? Where were these pennies to come from? The issue was the penny bank deposits, a system where each of us was encouraged to bring a penny to school in the hope of teaching us about thrift and promoting a desire to

MARY COOK Column save. Of course, Miss Crosby hadn't counted on people like Father, who grew up believing that money put in a bank was gone forever! We came home from school that day, early in the year, clutching little oblong boxes with printing on one side that said, A Penny Saved, Is a Penny Earned. We had to take the boxes

back to school the next day, after our parents looked them over and decided Miss Crosby wasn't collecting money for her own benefit. But she had explained it all to us in great length. We were to put coins in as often as we could, each of us keeping track in our own little books, and once a week the boxes were to be emptied, and the money taken into Renfrew and deposited into something called a bank account, which would be in our very own name. We were very excited when we explained it all to Father and Mother that night, and we were sure it would just be a matter of time until we were all millionaires. But as soon as we

mentioned the word "bank," the trouble began. As far as Father was concerned, the bank was just about the most unsafe place in the entire world to put money. "It's all mixed up in there with everyone else's, and besides, who is to say the bank won't go broke, too? And then where would your money be?" Mother kept saying, "Now, Albert, I'm sure the banks are honest, and so is Miss Crosby." She told him we wouldn't have much to put in there, anyway, and so we each had a penny in our little cardboard box when we went back to school the next day, with Father convinced it was the last we would see of our money.

Miss Crosby had lined up all the little boxes on the windowsill opposite of her desk. Ever since that day, we trucked up to our own little box and put a penny inside each week - or more if Mother could find any extra in her egg-money sugar bowl. And each time, we made an entry in our little book and tucked it back in the drawer under our desk. That first Friday, just before the day ended, the boxes were gathered up, the flaps were opened, and much to our horror the contents of every box were mixed together on top of Miss Crosby's desk. Emerson was the first to react: "I knew it, Father was right." Miss Crosby did some fast figuring, and then

dumped the entire pile of money into a brown paper bag, and we just knew it was gone forever! We went home, dragging our feet, scared to tell Father what had happened and to admit that, unless some genius could figure out who had what, we'd never see our money again. Well, on Monday, the penny boxes were back on the window sill at the Northcote School, and on each desk was our own little book. We gingerly opened them, and were stunned to see that the amount matched the figure we had been writing when we made our penny deposits! We brought a few more

PEC ideal summer destination for families

Jeff Maguire writes about some hot spots to visit this summer This week many children and teens are counting the days until the end of the school year and with summer now only days away Dad and Mom are counting the dollars to see how far their budget will carry them this vacation season. Day tripping is growing in popularity, especially for families with young children, mortgages and car payments. And today that encompasses a lot of people! In Eastern Ontario, Ottawa is not only the nation's

JEFF MAGUIRE Column capital it is also one of the country's largest cities. There is so much to see and do. The same is true of surrounding communities including Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Perth as well as Seaway centres such as Prescott, Brockville and Gananoque. However, an area my wife and I have fallen in love with and highly recommend is Prince Edward

County (PEC) on Lake Ontario. Well, when you look at a map it is more like "in Lake Ontario." The vast Bay of Quinte separates the county from Ontario proper. Bridges quickly connect PEC to places like Belleville, Deseronto and Napanee. Access is mainly via Highway 401 or Hwy. 2. If you are travelling at a more leisurely pace wind your way from Kingston via the Loyalist Parkway (Hwy. 33), hugging the north shore of the picturesque and expansive lake. Then take the Glenora Ferry across the narrow channel that connects Lake Ontario and Picton Bay. From Glenora it is less than 10 minutes into the quaint, pretty town of Picton which, with 3,000 permanent residents, is the

largest community in PEC. I recently wrote a column about watching the spring bird tagging process at Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, half an hour south of Picton, last month. Last year I wrote about the growing wine trail in PEC. But wine is only part of the picture in this beautiful part of the province. Picton, along with PEC villages such as Bloomfield and Wellington, would be called "Rockwellesque" (a reference to the artwork of Norman Rockwell) if they were located south of the border. I will call them "pure Canadiana." Their bustling main streets look like they fell off postcards. With such a strong United Empire Loyalist history PEC features five excellent museums. The local tourist

guide says, "Think of each museum as a chapter in the fascinating history of the county." For beer and wine lovers PEC has become a magnet. The lakeside microclimate is ideal for growing grapes and the 2018-2019 'Wine Country Ontario' travel guide now lists an amazing 17 separate wineries. There are also nearly a dozen craft breweries operating in the county. With such an extensive wine and beer trail it is only natural that many talented chefs have opened restaurants in PEC. They feature excellent food with an emphasis on the region's plentiful agricultural produce, wine and beer. Festivals, events, good food and drink and sandy beaches, such as those

As I noted at the outset there are outstanding travel options available across Eastern Ontario. There are so many things to do in our region and something to fit every budget.

Talk about things that just continue to go on and on. Charles Thomas "Stompin' Tom" Connors and his connection to the Ottawa Valley is one of those things. This story never seems to tire or wear out. A new biography about the life of the late national troubadour will be released this fall and the one true "Mr. Canada" is sure to dominate the media again from coast to coast to coast. This is fitting too because who in this country would deserve the title of "Mr. Canada" more than him? All through the '50s and '60s, Tom toured the land working at almost every job imaginable (in just about every place, too) then told the tale so simply and beautifully through words and songs. And one of those places he visited and impacted greatly was Carleton Place. Though it's true he visited several places throughout the valley over time, Carleton Place remains the primary stop in 1967 where "it all began" one could say. The new biography will feature the Carleton Place connection and the deep impact that it has had on the community (Please Google Lyle Dillabough Stompin' Tom's Carleton Place Connection or search Stompin' Tom & Carleton Place on youtube.com for more details). The book is being written by Maritime writer, Charles Rhindress. He is known and highly praised for being the playwright who penned a beautiful production based on the life of the late Rita McNeil. Rhindress actually wrote parts of the play along with McNeil, who he describes as, "the most wonderful human being I have ever met." When one truly learns of her incredible struggles in life and how she overcame them all, the heartache, determination and love this woman possessed, will leave you speechless. So let's hope that Rhindress can do the same with Stompin' Tom. Many now know that myself and Stompin' Tom used to exchange letters periodically over the years. As stated before, he was a beautiful writer who pre-

ment of the new Pope at the time) many have requested to see those letters but I would never betray his confidence. OK, just once. The following quote is one he would not have minded me sharing, I'm sure. "I have no one to help me with all the fan mail, my barn is falling down, my wife tells me that in over 30 years of marriage I've yet to take her on a decent vacation, then there's the songwriting, recording and ..." It just goes to show that no matter how famous you are, life continues to happen. Rhindress interviewed me last week and we have agreed to stay in touch.

That test came when school was just about to close for the summer. We were all taught how to write a cheque to the Red Cross for 10 cents each, and sure

enough, with only a few days left, the bank showed we had taken out 10 cents. None of us ever had more than $1 in the bank all the time we went to the Northcote School, but the penny boxes were enough to convince us that, indeed, a penny saved was a penny earned.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, if you are feeling high strung or nervous, you may just need to take a little time away from a situation to reorient yourself. Come back with a fresh perspective.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your imagination is very active lately, so much so that it may make it difficult to concentrate on anything else. Make an effort to get work done in spite of the distractions.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you haven’t yet found your groove at work, but don’t get discouraged because it will happen. Pay attention to others around you and how they act.

Hub Hospice annual general meeting June 14

Everyone is invited to attend the Hub Hospice Palliative Care annual general meeting on Thursday, June 14 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held at St. Paul's Anglican Church, 70 Clyde Street in Almonte. The organization was incorporated in 2013, so this AGM marks the fifth year since incorporation - a

milestone to be celebrated. A small group of men and women from Almonte Community Coordinators identified a need for a palliative-care support program in Almonte and the surrounding area. In a wonderful display of kindness and commitment, and with the help and backing of The Hub,

enough money was raised, and the separately incorporated and governed Hub Hospice Palliate Care was launched. The model - sending trained volunteers into the homes of the people who need the support, wherever home may be - has been meeting with success. Awareness has grown

without the support - both financial and through volunteerism - received from the people, businesses, churches, medical organizations and service clubs in the region. Compassion, generosity and kindness are alive and well in our community! Hub Hospice Palliative Care is a not-for-profit reg-

istered Canadian charity funded through donations and targeted fundraising initiatives. We are a "Hospice without walls." We provide inhome palliative care support for adult clients and their families in North Lanark. – submitted by Hub Hospice Palliative Care

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 Town of Carleton Place is considering options to replace the Central Bridge to address the identified structural deficiencies and to serve the Town for years to come. The project works will also include consideration for adding a walkway and undertaking repairs to Gillies Bridge, and potential widening of the other single lane bridge further to the east, with relocation of utilities undertaken as required. 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. Preliminary project information was presented at the first Public Consultation Centre (PCC), held on May 16, 2018. A second PCC is being scheduled to present general alternatives being considered for replacement of the Central Bridge and to gather more input and feedback from the public. Similar to the first PCC, the 2nd PCC will be held as an informal “Open House” 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.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Les Reynolds has 43 years of fire service to his credit. Those years have been with the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) in Carleton Place, the last 11 as fire chief. At the end of June he is retiring. "I spent 32 years as a volunteer firefighter and officer, and I was fire chief and director of protective services for 11 years," Reynolds told the Canadian Gazette during a recent interview. On July 2 he turns 65. "I want to spend more time with my wife (Jan) and family," Reynolds said. "I have two grandsons that are pretty special." "I want to do the things we enjoy," he continued. "Do not get me wrong, I still enjoy this job, but nobody knows how much time we have." Reynolds knows he will miss the guys the most.

"Both the firefighters in our department and the fire chiefs regionally...the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs has been a big part of my life for the last 11 years." Reynolds is unable to continue in the capacity as a volunteer firefighter in Carleton Place when he retires. "Our policy states firefighters are done at age 65," he said. "And not that I would want to...it is a young man's game." With the OWFC being a big part of Reynolds' life for 43 years, he cannot imagine not being around; however, he does not want to step on the new fire chief's toes. Pascal Meunier, current fire chief with the Mississippi Mills Fire Department was recently named as Reynolds' replacement, assuming the role on July 3. "I am leaving the department in very good hands," the outgoing fire chief said.

Currently the OWFC has five captains. There would normally be 19 volunteer firefighters, but the brigade is down a couple of spaces. "I assume the new fire chief will start a recruitment process soon," Reynolds stated. "One of the reasons I did not do it is because I wanted that person to be able to build their own team." Reynolds was born and raised on Judson Street in Carleton Place, in the shadow of the town hall. On Nov. 7, 1974 he became a second-generation firefighter. His late father (Corky) was a member of the OWFC from 1958 to 1988. "Dad and I had a trucking business for years on Mill Street, in the building just before the underpass," Reynolds said. "It was called Reynolds' Cartage." On July 1, 2007 Reynolds became the OWFC's fire chief. Over the last 43 years he has seen a number of

swered to the siren at the town hall, getting our radio system and pagers a few weeks later." "The siren would go off and you would go to the town hall to find out where

the fire was," he continued. Firefighters used to wear long coats and hip boots, causing them to freeze during winter and swelter in summer. "You only used a selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in really dire circumstances back then because somebody had to go to Ottawa to get the cylinder refilled," Reynolds stated. "Today, our guys are on air as soon as they get on a hostile environment," he added. "That is the biggest single change...the attention to health and safety...we do a much better job of protecting our firefighters' healthy and safety." The OWFC, working collaboratively with seven other Lanark County fire brigades, now has a plan to help prevent or lessen the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among area firefighters. According to Reynolds,

Community partnerships and funding have led to the successful redesign and unveiling of the Gemmill Park Campus Project. The park now features accessible pathways and washrooms, play structures, a splash pad, and a skate park (completed in summer of 2017). The Gemmill Park Campus Project received fund-

ing of up to $208,010 through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (CIP150), delivered by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), and a $25,985 grant through the Ontario Tire Stewardship's 2016 Community Renewal Fund, totalling $233,995.

Mills," said Mayor Shaun McLaughlin.

Cameron always wanted to have fountain in Almonte l Continued from page 1

Cameron, fought back tears as she addressed the crowd on Sunday. She wanted the day to be a happy day, focusing on the way her husband lived his life: with dignity, commitment and a strong love for his family and community. "Bernard loved the outdoors," Catherine said. "It was his church." He knew every tree and leaf on their former Strathburn Street property, bringing her bouquets of snowdrops and bluebells every spring. With regards to the Bernard Cameron Memorial Fountain, Catherine said her husband "always talked about having a fountain in Mississippi Mills...a tourist attraction, something for residents to enjoy, beautifying the

community." "He should be here because," she added. "This was his idea." Catherine ended with the following quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: For each thorn, there is a rosebud...for each twilight - a dawn...for each trial - the strength to carry on. For each stormcloud a rainbow...for each shadow - the sun...for each parting - sweet memories when sorrow is done. Light refreshments were served after the fountain, which is lighted, was turned on. Now living at Thoburn Mill, Catherine can see the Bernard Cameron Memorial Fountain from her condo. McLaughlin and Mississippi Mills Coun. Denzil Ferguson formed a working group in spring 2017 to explore the creation of the fountain in Cameron's honour.

“This experience changed my life. Now it’s my duty to pay it forward.” Vania, Team Member from Burlington, ON Vania arrived in Canada from Cuba with little more than a few dollars in her pocket. Knowing only a bit of English, a trusting Manager recognized her work ethic and passion and gave Vania her first job at Tims. Grateful for this chance, she worked her way from the kitchen to the cash, and all the way up to General Manager. Now Vania looks to hire new Canadians at her restaurant, giving them the same life-changing opportunity she received 17 years ago. Thank you, Vania. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

In promotion of healthy eating and community, the new friendship oven at the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library will officially open Sunday, June 17. The concept, initiated by Jeff Mills and the Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens, was first talked about back in 2015. "It's a true community development technique for engaging citizens," Mills explained, adding that Neighbourhood Tomato received a $5,000 grant from the Elizabeth Kelly Library Foundation Inc., as well as funds from The Hub (Almonte Community Co-ordinators) and individuals in the community. "We also had a group that's helped build it including students from the (Mississippi Mills) youth centre." The purpose of the friendship oven is to foster healthy eating, food knowledge and the creation of an inclusive intergenerational social cooking collective, with the opportunity for the site to become a spot for community celebrations and fundraisers. The MERA school house in McDonald's Corners currently operates a similar venture which has been successful. The primary construction was headed up by Sean MacKenzie of Dominion Masonry. The oven is a brick structure which sits on a gravel surround. Mills said his assistance was central to the project, which cost an estimated $10,000, including a shelter. "He agreed to put in countless hours for little pay," he noted. The June 17 opening will run from noon to 3 p.m. with a ribbon cutting to be celebrated at noon. Guests can enjoy some freshly made wood-fired pizza from the oven, with proceeds raised going to support the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre. The opening is tied in with Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and Mills said he hopes people will participate in the Birders on Bicycles ride earlier in the morning, from 9 a.m. to noon, and then drop by the community oven. This is the 10th year for Birders on Bicycles, which is co-ordinated by Gilligallou Bird. Visit mmbm.ca for more information on all Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month activities. If Neighbourhood Tomato has its way, this oven will be the first of many, Mills said.

"Our vision is to have these up and down the OVRT (Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail) and there's another one in the works in Carleton Place," he explained. The Carleton Place friendship oven will be located at Market Square by the OVRT. Carleton Place resident Andrew Tennant of Castle Masonry and Construc-

Reynolds is second-generation firefighter

l Continued from page 3

"PTSD has been recognized right across the country...it is part of the presumptive work related illnesses." "In the county we have put a lot of effort into developing a prevention plan, and we are in the process of establishing a peer support team so firefighters can talk to somebody if they have difficulty," he continued.

Memories "Any firefighter always remembers his first fatal fire," Reynolds said. He recalled it was over Thanksgiving weekend in 1976. A cold, snowy night, a gentleman living on William Street fell asleep smoking a cigarette. "The man failed to get out...by the time we brought him outside he was gone," the fire chief stated. Knocking on wood, there have not been any major fires in Carleton

Place over the years; however, Reynolds recounted an old apartment building went up in flames at William and James streets. People called it 'Disneyland.' "It was a tough fire, but we were fortunate it happened during the day and nobody was hurt," he said. The number of structure fires in town is low because "we are doing a better job of fire protection," Reynolds stressed. "Smoke alarms in every house..." However, when there is a house fire, they burn a lot hotter and faster today because of materials used. "Thirty years ago you had between 15 and 17 minutes to get out of a house once a fire started," Reynolds said. "Today, it is three to four minutes." Through the years, Reynolds has worked with some amazing people...mentors and friends. He credits the late Ab Hurdis for teaching him so much

about firefighting. Hurdis was with the OWFC for 40 years. He passed away in 2015. "Before me, I served under three fire chiefs: Cal Wilson, Ken Drummond and Morley Black," Reynolds said. "They were all good, but Cal was a true visionary, and I often joked...he drove a tank across Europe in 1945 so you can imagine the sympathy we got if we complained things were tough."

How does Reynolds rate himself as a fire chief? "That is for other people to judge, not me," he answered. "However, I am proud of what I have done, but how well I did will be judged by others." The OWFC fleet is second to none, with the brigade better equipped than 90 per cent of the departments in eastern Ontario. "This has been the case for my whole career," Reynolds noted. "I would

like to say it is because of the fire chiefs, but we have always had the support of town council and the community." In 2010 the OWFC added onto its 23-year-old Coleman Street headquarters, with a fitness centre classroom and storage space incorporated. A number of years ago the OWFC replaced its SCBAs, and it purchased an electronic accountability system, which tracks firefighters at a scene. He explained: "Each firefighter has a distress signal...if something happens, if he or she becomes immobile, it automatically sets off an alarm. There is also a button the firefighter can press. It sends a mayday alert." Reynolds has had his share of injuries over the years: sprained ankles and smoke inhalation, and he was once burned after a fire from the exhaust on a piece of equipment. Reynolds was Lanark

County's fire co-ordinator; however, during a meeting with the Office of the Fire Marshal on May 30, it was confirmed the county's alternate fire co-ordinator, Greg Saunders, the fire chief of Drummond/North Elmsley Tay Valley Fire Rescue, would assume the lead role, with Meunier becoming the alternate.

Going forward Leaving will be hard for Reynolds; however, missing the department will be outweighed by the fun he will be having with his family. "For 11 years my cellphone has never been far from my hand," he said. "One of the things I am looking forward to is being able to leave it at home or ignore it if it rings." An Alaskan cruise is on the horizon for the Reynolds family in August, and they purchased a home in Florida recently, planning on spending the winter months there.

"Jan and I are not just married, we are best friends, and we really enjoy each other's company, doing things together," Reynolds said. Leading the OWFC has been an honour for the outgoing fire chief. For the last 11 years he has gone to bed knowing he was doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing. Not only does Reynolds thank the town and his group of captains and firefighters, he highlighted the assistance from his deputy chief over the last five years. Lastly, he thanked his family for their understanding on special holidays such as Father's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, when his job has taken him away. Reynolds stressed, "My wife and family have made sacrifices...Christmas Day, Christmas Eve... emergencies do not wait for when times are convenient."

10 COUNCIL

Third bypass option proposed in Mississippi Mills

l Continued from page 1

ing recommended council proceed with the option, which

would see ATV traffic removed from Bridge Street. They would follow Queen Street and Martin Street North to the crossing of the

OVRT at Carss Street, where they would meet up with the trail again. This option, which would

have been the third proposal forwarded to Lanark County, owners of the OVRT, for approval, was identified April 6 during a meeting of county officials and staff, Mayor Shaun McLaughlin and Coun. Jane Torrance. "The proposed alternative route would remove ATV traffic through the bulk of the downtown core and address the majority of the municipality's concerns," Becking stated in the report. Some of those concerns include safety, accessibility, enforcement, signage, etc. Coun. Denzil Ferguson requested a recorded vote at the start of discussions, noting he was adamantly against the bypass proposal due to the safety/ risk analysis prepared by Lanark County OPP on the intersection. "They indicate there are tight, narrow curves, high traffic volume, a notable amount of accidents, lack of shoulders and unique challenges identify safety concerns ... if that doesn't justify turning it down, I don't know what more we need," he stated. "When you look at the OPP's comments, you really have to think there's actually no good solution to this problem," added Coun. Alex Gillis. " ... I don't know whether we should be ignoring the OPP." Not in favour of ATVs on Carss Street, Coun. Jill McCubbin said she could live with them continuing on Martin Street North where there's a level crossing to the OVRT. "It's not a great compromise, but I do support it," she said. "Mixing ATVs with cars makes more sense than mixing ATVs with baby strollers, pedestrians ... it's better than no bypass at all." She was against Carss Street due to the steep hill and "tricky sight lines." "It's right beside four or five residences," she said. "Why would we put them (ATVs) on a residential road when we can keep them on a county road?" If Carss Street is taken out of the equation, Coun. Jane Torrance suggested asking if the speed limit could be changed to 60km/hour as there's only a few hundred metres until the level crossing. "I think it's unlikely that the county would agree to it (speed reduction)," added McLaughlin. The amendment to have the entrance to the OVRT moved to

Martin Street and County Road 29, instead of Carss was passed, but council couldn't come to agreement on the main motion. Coun. Duncan Abbott questioned putting ATVs on roads where there have been considerable accidents just "to save some folks from noise downtown." " ... An accident with an ATV and car is collateral damage. On an ATV you don't have an airbag and you don't have seatbelts," he explained. "The statistics with snowmobiles and cars, there are almost always fatalities ... I have yet to see a report of a pedestrian accident on these trails and I watch the news like everybody else." "I think you're doing speculative horrors here, but that's just my opinion," McLaughlin stated. Abbott continued, noting that the Martin/Ottawa/Queen street intersection is "the busiest spot in town." "There are people who have not been consulted who are on this route. This has been dropped in at the end of the meeting. No one has asked them," he stated, adding that with Almonte and District High School to the north, a football field and no shoulders on either side of the road, it makes the area an unattractive option for a bypass. "If there's going to be the traffic everybody is predicting and it's so horrible to have these machines on the road and you put them up busy Queen Street, past the high school and out where a lot of accidents occur ... to save the people from the centre of town from possibly being woken up some night by an idiot on an ATV, it's silly, guys," Abbott said. Torrance admitted she wasn't concerned about noise in the downtown, but it was more of a case for economic development "and what we've built over the last 15 years for people to get around our vibrant downtown on foot." " ... If we want to maintain a portion of the OVRT that is not motorized, this is the only option we have left," she said. The motion failed in a recorded vote which had McCubbin, McLaughlin, Torrance and Coun. Val Wilkinson voting yea, while Gillis, councillors Paul Watters, Christa Lowry, Ferguson and Abbott were nays. Councillors John Edwards and Amanda Pulker-Mok were absent from the meeting.

Bench dedication held for Dale 'Scoon' Scott TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A crowd gathered in front of the Market Square in Carleton Place June 9 for a memorial dedicated to a life lost too soon. Dale 'Scoon' Scott was a native son of Carleton Place. After a multi-year battle with brain cancer, the 42-year-old passed away on June 7, 2008. Dale worked tirelessly in support of charity, and he gave to the community solely for the satisfaction of generating the spirit of good will. For his bigheartedness, Dale he was named Carleton Place Citizen of the Year in 2003. Dale was a master of none, dabbling in many skills - from his Tunes by

Scoon DJ Service to The Blossom Shop. As this year is the tenth anniversary of Dale's death, his cousin Shannon Link came up with the idea for a memorial bench. With community, family and friends all watching, Jim and Edna Scott cut the ribbon to officially dedicate their son's bench - a bench with a message of love and peace and unity. The bench, pairing beauty with heartbreak, recognizes what Dale meant and will continue to mean to the community. "It is a gorgeous day for a great event," MC Margaret Stewart said.

neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the irritation on the nerves. By using gentle techniques, we are able to release the irritation that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away. For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions. Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and antidepressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

On June 3 and 5, the Carleton Place Town Singers held their Somewhere There's a Land concert at the All Nations Church on Bridge Street in Carleton Place. They started the night with O Canada arranged by Chuck Bridwell and then Pierless Bridge based on a poem by Emily Dickinson. Their new director, Paul Norris, led a wonderful performance while entertaining the audience. When the time came for the song, Shootin' With Rasputin, Norris put a traditional Russian fur hat on for the song and also for Wide Steppe. Then he put on a tricorne (pirate) hat for the Donkey Riding Canadian folksong arranged by Paul Aitkens. Norris had Mark Brown on the keyboard all night and cello soloist Seth Allison performed for the Goin' Home song based on the largo from the symphony No. 9 by Czechoslovakian composer Antonin Dvorak. Special guest Yvonne Kilptarick handled MC duties for the night. What a great and entertaining performance. Fifty-one singers performed, including basses Fletcher Aitken, Ben Bourne, Blaine Cornell,

Mark Lovell, Bruce Kingsley, David Sharp and Caleb Young; sopranos Liette Carpentire, Karen Clements, Kathy Cosham, Laura Cupper, Mimi David, Diane Elkington, Ellie Evans, Kathleen Everett, Susan Kaye, Sheelagh Lam, Ruth Maybee, Jennifer Millar and Valerie Strike. Altos in the Town Singers are Gloria Baker, Linda Beiglee, Susan Burke, Brenda Cupper, Peggy Gallipeau, Jan Gartner, Judi Gordon, Patricia Grainger, Linda Hall, Danette Hanneman, Nancy Higham, Sue Kolar, Joan Landriault, Annette Meadows, Susan Ouellette, Betty Parent, Bev Rogers, Helen Swift, Ealaine Tigges and Diane Tweedie; and tenors include Seth Allison, Terry Bernicky, Judy Brown, Abhann Cupper-Scott, Jan Hansen, Don McKay, Ton Rivait, Bob Stacey, Kathy Wells and David White. At intermission, Sarah Jeffries, Fern Marwood and Willow Marwood put on a wonderful show with violins and a banjo. The Carleton Place Town Singers will be performing again for a Christmas concert Dec. 2 and 4. Hope to see you there. – submitted by Tammy Jordan

Help Find Arnie!! Arnie is a neutered male Havanese weighing about 15 lbs. He has white and beige hair with black on the tip of his ears. Arnie has been missing since April 9th, 2017. If you see any dog that even looks like him, do not chase or call his name. Call the phone number on the poster 613-619-7387 or 613-794-5338 immediately. If he has found his forever home with you, please let us know. We need to know he is safe so we can find peace in our hearts and end the search. You will be compensated with a reward.

Here is Arnie’s story..... Arnie was seized from a hoarding situation where he was prisoner in a house with over 60 other animals. He spent over a year and a half of his puppy life in an emergency shelter while his owner appealed time and time again in court to get his animals back. Finally the court battle ended and Arnie was surrendered to a local dog rescue for rehabilitation and adoption. Having spent the first part of his puppy life in a shelter, Arnie needed time to heal and was placed in a foster home in Carleton Place. Unfortunately, he ran away on April 9th, 2017 Tracker’s Edge was hired to come locate him. His 2 tracking dogs found many scents of Arnie in different areas. We followed his instructions and advice to phone number to call were handed out to residents and posted throughout Carleton Place. A few residents did call in to report sightings of him. The last sighting was in September 2017. Unfortunately, we never got a sighting again. Please help us find Arnie. If you do have him in your home, let us know and you will be compensated with a reward to help with his care.

The Pakenham Seniors' Club is 50 years young. The organization marked the milestone anniversary with a special luncheon May 24 at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham. Its inaugural meeting was held back on April 17, 1968 and the first regular monthly session was held on May 31 of that year, with 34 attendees. Months later, the membership had risen to 54. At that time, the monthly collection fee was just 10 cents per member. By 1983, 82 seniors belonged to the club. According to current president Anne Discerni, the club is a social outlet for seniors seeking fellowship and friendship. "I think everybody wants to get out and socialize and be well," she said. Joining Discerni in the club's executive is vicepresident Doug Fleming, secretary Diane Lesway and treasurer Beverlee Downey. Today, there are 30 regular members from areas including Mississippi Mills and Arnprior, who attend

the monthly functions and outings organized by the club. "Our oldest member is 102 years old, Mary Scott," Discerni noted, adding that the youngest is Liz Robinson, at age 50. "We'd like to get more young people to come out and help us." In addition to monthly meetings, Discerni said members enjoy potluck luncheons, shuffleboard every Wednesday afternoon, card games, day outings to retirement communities such as Waterside in Carleton Place, Orchard View by the Mississippi in Almonte and Island View in Arnprior, as well as trips co-ordinated through Mills Community Support in Almonte. "Last year we went to see the RCMP Musical Ride and the tulips in Ottawa," she commented. "This year, we're going to the theatre in Perth. We do so many different things." During the celebration, which included a prize table, birthday cake and certificates such as congratulations from the United Senior Citizens' of Ontario Inc., of which the club is affiliate 264.

his illness. "Today would not be possible without some great people," Stewart added. On behalf of the family, Stewart thanked Carleton Place's recreation and culture manager Joanne Henderson and Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn, along with the town, John Bowes and Kinkaid Loney Monuments, Carleton Place Curling Club, (retired) Rev. David Andrew and Linda Seccaspina. "Last but not least," Stewart thanked "the woman who started it all," her cousin, Link. John, Ed, Andy and Rod Bowes were very close with Dale. John was happy to say a few words at Saturday's dedication ceremony, and he noted the "good turnout is a tribute to 'Scoon'." "It still hurts to lose a friend, even 10 years later," he added. Andrew officiated at Dale's funeral. On Satur-

day he blessed his bench. "As it was getting close to the end Dale had absolutely no fear, which is a very comforting thought," Andrew recounted. "He lived and died on his own terms." Surrounded by her husband and Stewart for support, an emotional Edna called the location of her son's bench "a beautiful spot." "Jim and I are so grateful to be able to attend this wonderful event," she added. "It reminds us no good deed goes unforgotten." Ed, Rod and Andy performed a special song at the dedication, which was written by Ed. Some of the most powerful lyrics ..."the town he loved to live for, the town where he belongs." "If 'Scoon' had a guitar he would play at the Grand Ole Opry, if he had a ball glove he would pitch at Shea Stadium, and if he had a basketball he would play in the NBA," Ed stated. "'Scoon' was a believer,"

he continued. "I love and miss you buddy." Flynn was proud to call Dale his friend. "'Scoon' was a good person," he said, and "it is not something you are born with ...(it's) instilled in you." Flynn gave credit to Edna and Jim for their son's kindness. After a conversation with Dale ..."I always left feeling like a better person." Referencing Dale's song performed by the Bowes Brothers, "it left nothing unsaid, suiting 'Scoon' to a t." Dale was a diehard fan of the Detroit Red Wings. He was able to see his team raise the Stanley Cup in 2008, before he died. Local resident and Dale's friend, Jack Denovan draped a Detroit Red Wings jacket over the memorial bench before the dedication ceremony. Cake and coffee were served afterwards under the Market Square's pavilion.

Safe cycling pamphlets now available in Carleton Place The Town of Carleton Place's recreation and culture department is pleased to present the Safe Cycling Routes in Carleton Place pamphlets, which are now available in hard copy or online download. The Safe Cycling Routes in Carleton Place pamphlet outlines roadways in Carleton Place that are safer for cycling transportation due to wider street shoulders, lighter vehicle traffic and bike rack access. The pamphlet also lists where public washrooms are located throughout the town, as well as information on how to rent a bicycle at the Carleton Place Information Centre through the RightBike initiative. Bikes are now in place for rental for the season. Hard copies of the pamphlet can be obtained at the information centre, Carambeck Community Centre and Carle-

ton Place Arena. Online download of the pamphlet can be obtained at: www.carletonplace.ca. The recreation and culture department was successful in securing grant funding through the Safe Cycling Education Fund to cover the expenses of the creation and printing of the Safe Cycling Routes in Carleton Place pamphlets. The next stages of this safe cycling initiative include installation of safe cycling signage on the designated roadways and installation of larger map signage throughout the Town of Carleton Place. "When Carleton Place hosted the Eastern Ontario Active Transportation Summit in 2017, we were fortunate to have Justin Jones from 'Share The Road' cycle throughout Carleton Place and provide suggestions for improve-

ments," said community programmer Jessica Hansen. "His main suggestions included; having safe cycling routes throughout Carleton Place, as well as investing on cycle-friendly directional signage for tourists visiting Carleton Place on their bicycles. We are in the process of implementing all suggestions as funding allows, and we are eager to complete this project." The recreation and culture department will be seeking additional grant funding through the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program to assist in covering the expenses of the roadway and larger cycle signage throughout Carleton Place. The entire project is estimated to be completed by June 2019. – submitted by the Town of Carleton Place

Wilfred Richards May 24, 1959 - June 16, 2010 You gave no one a last farewell, Nor ever said good-bye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. A million times we will miss you, A million times we will cry, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one else can ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. Luv Mom, Dad, Bob, Daina, Diane, Peter, Janet and Mike

PITTMAN, Rodney John – In loving memory of my only son, Rodney Pittman, who passed away June 6, 2015. A heart of gold stopped beating 3 years ago. Hard working hands were laid to rest. As Rod quickly passed away, He didn’t say goodbye. Perhaps it’s just as well, I never could have said goodbye to the one I love. Love Mom Hilda Pittman

They say there is a reason Why things happen like they do. It’s just so hard to understand Why we lost the both of you. Time does not heal the broken heart Or take away the pain. Going on without you both Life just don’t seem the same. For you who have a daughter Tell her how much you care. For nothing can ever heal the loss When she is no longer there. To some you are forgotten To others a part of the past. But to us who loved and lost you Your memory will forever last. Mom, Dick, Don, Tina, Hal and family Dawn and Ian

Heaven Needed Mom So many things of Mom We miss-Her gentle hug and tender kiss We still can feel her warm embrace And picture yet her loving face. A mothers’ tasks are never done And Heaven must have need one. For angels came and took her hand And led her to God’s promised land. She’s surely kept quite busy there While brushing little angels’ hair. And making sure they’re dressed just right Not staying out too late at night. Although here’s sadness, this we know-She’s waiting there, her face aglow We close our eyes and we seeHer arms till open wide for us. Love you Mom.

June Conroy December 29, 1934 - June 16, 2017 Time speeds on, one year has passed Since death it’s gloom, it’s shadows cast Within our home, where all seemed bright And took from us a shining light We will miss that light, and ever will Her vacant place there’s none to fill Down here we mourn, but not in vain For up in heaven will meet again. Sadly missed, forever loved, Lyle, Cheryl & Dave, Tracey & Blake

The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group recently donated $15,000 to the Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor (AGH FVM) Foundation's 'Put Yourself in the Picture' campaign. Above, back row, from left: The Commonwell's Miki Paczek, brand and communications manager; Tim Shauf, president and CEO; David Blodgett, chief strategy officer; directors Allan Lowry and Dwight Proudfoot. Front row, from left: AGH FVM development co-ordinator, Carolyn Piche; The Commonwell's C.A.R.E. member Theresa Messier; and Jennifer Baziuk, vice-president of IT.

The Commonwell donates $15,000 to AGH foundation The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, a home and auto insurance company focused on clients throughout Ontario, has announced a second major community donation - this time $15,000 to Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor Foundation. Funded through The Commonwell's CARE (Create a Ripple Effect) program, the donation will assist with the payment of the two new ultrasound machines onsite at the hospital since early in 2017. This brings Commonwell's total donation toward the new ultrasound machines to $40,000. "This second gift from Commonwell brings us that much closer to having completely paid off the new ultrasound machines, which cost $640,000," said hospital president and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. "The hospital had to go ahead and purchase these in 2017 because our existing machine was 10 years old and, with only one machine, our wait times were too long. “For the past year, our patients have been benefiting from two new digital machines, and our wait times are down from two months to two weeks. Our patients have companies like Commonwell to thank for that." Almonte General Hospital is a 52-bed emergency and acute care hospital serving the Mississippi Mills region as well as Arnprior,

Carleton Place, Carp, West Ottawa, Perth and surrounding townships. This Commonwell CARE donation is directed toward the AGH-FVM Foundation's "Put Yourself in the Picture" campaign with a goal of raising $4 million to purchase two new ultrasound machines, a new digital X-ray suite, a digital portable X-ray machine, and to acquire a CT scanner, which the hospital does not currently have. The total raised to date is approximately $1.7 million. "Our Commonwell staff and brokers live in the communities that they serve, so giving back locally has always been very important to us all," said Tim Shauf, president and CEO of the Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group. "We're truly honoured to work with Almonte General Hospital and support them in continuing to provide exceptional medical care to the area." The Commonwell's CARE program helps to fund vital charitable organizations in the eastern Ontario communities that Commonwell serves. Last year Commonwell donated more than $575,000 to a variety of local organizations, including hospitals, food banks, Big Brothers Big Sisters, youth services, Habitat for Humanity and palliative care. – submitted by the Almonte General Hospital and Fairview Manor Foundation
