On June 23, local ecologist and nature enthusiast Ken Allison led an intrepid group on a field visit at High Lonesome Nature Reserve, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust's flagship property near Pakenham to discover the secrets of dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies. In spite of a sprinkle of rain, four species of damselflies, nine species of dragonflies and eight species of butterflies were identified, the most unusual insect being a Hallowe'en Pennant dragonfly. The group was delight to see several Monarch butterflies, a species at risk, in the front field where there are many milkweed plants. We are grateful to Gillagallou Bird Inc. who sponsored this event. Above, a close-up of one of the participants inspecting the beautiful pattern on a Pearl Crescent butterfly.

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) is pleased that all members of Parliament representing the region, and from across party lines, have signed strong letters of support to the federal government to help fund proposed cell service improvements for the region. EORN is proposing a $213 million public-private partnership to improve both the reach and quality of cellular data services in rural eastern Ontario, which is essential for business investment, jobs and quality of life. "We would like to express our thanks to all of our federal representatives for their strong support for the project," said EORN chair J. Murray Jones. "EORN has a proven track record of delivering outstanding results in collaboration with the federal, provincial and municipal governments, and the private sector." About one quarter of the area where there are homes, businesses or major roads in the region cannot access any cellular services. And many areas don't have enough capacity to meet growing demand for mobile broadband. These gaps are the result of market failure. A public-private partnership would reduce carriers' infrastructure costs, creating a stronger business case to improve services. The project is seeking one-third of the funding from the federal government, one-third from the provincial government and one-third from mobile carriers. Municipal governments across the region have already approved and/or contributed funds for technical work needed for the project. The incoming Ontario government committed to the province's share of $71 million during the election campaign. In two separate letters, all MPs from the region are urging the federal government to provide its $71 million share for the project. "We welcome this support from our MPs. The backing from across the political spectrum demonstrates just how important this cell project is for the future of our region. We are hopeful that the federal government will listen and fund this critical project," stated Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus chair Robin Jones. Locally, the late Gord Brown, MP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, along with Scott Reid, MP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, both supported the initiative. A letter dated April 27, 2018 addressed to Navdeep Singh Bains, minister of innovation, science and economic development, stated "residents and businesses in eastern Ontario will further benefit from an improved access to online services allowing people to connect

Steve Clark named Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Premier Doug Ford named Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark as the new Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on June 29. Ford and his 21-member executive council were sworn in during a public ceremony on the front steps of Legislative Building. The entire 76-member cabinet, including 48 new MPPs, were affirmed on June 22. Clark, who lives in Brockville, was elected for his fourth term in office on June 7. In his last term as MPP, he had held the position of co-deputy leader with Sylvia Jones, since September 2015. He received 61.29 per cent of the votes (29,996) to earn reelection. Before heading into his first executive council meeting that afternoon, Clark spoke with this newspaper about his appointment, which he learned about just a few days ago. "I was sworn to secrecy until this morning," he noted. "It's a big honour, a
great honour that Premier Ford would feel I have the capabilities to be part of a very small executive council cabinet." "It's going to be a great learning experience and an honour I look forward to," Clark continued. He believes his municipal background experience has prepared him for the new role. In 1982 at age 22, Clark became Canada's youngest mayor when elected in Brockville. He also served as president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and for a brief period before being elected MPP, he was the chief administrative officer with the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands. "I'm looking forward to serving the people of Ontario, my cabinet colleagues and caucus colleagues," he said. He understands that with 444 municipalities in Ontario, there are many stakeholders with an interest in the municipal affairs and housing file. "I want to make sure that the government is accessible to people," Clark stated. When asked about the

In addition to Clark, Ford has chosen three other Ottawa-area MPPs for positions in his cabinet, including rookie KanataCarleton MPP Merrilee Fullerton, who will serve as Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities; Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod is the new Minister of Children, Community and Social Services; and Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski will take over as Minister of Transportation. "We have an all-star team that's ready right now to give the people of Ontario the kind of leadership and direction they deserve," Ford noted in a press release. "For too long, the people of Ontario have worked more and paid more, but gotten less. Those days are over. “Help is here." Ford will also take on the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs title.

ABOUT US
Long live the fourth estate Democracy requires informed citizens. Journalism has long been considered an important force in government and key to the functioning of democracy itself. Scottish philosopher, writer, essayist, translator, historian, mathematician, and teacher Thomas Carlyle, in 1841, wrote: "Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all" (On Heroes and Hero Worship). It's hard not to feel it's a profession that's under attack, on the world stage, and in the least, in peril closer to home. On June 28, four journalists and a sales associate were killed and two others injured when Jarrod Ramos allegedly opened fire inside the offices of a Maryland newspaper. Ramos, who has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder, had a long history with the newspaper that included a lawsuit and years of harassment. The Capital Gazette is a community newspaper, just like the one you are reading now. As journalism continues to receive hit after hit, it is an inspiration that Gazette staff put out an edition the next day. And while the suspect's beef was with the targeted newspaper, it's a troubling incident nonetheless considering the attack followed months of verbal and online attacks on the "fake news media" from politicians, among them U.S. President Donald Trump. Journalism finds itself at a crisis point - municipalities continue to lose their local news sources, major newspapers and television stations are losing staff, and the industry scrambles to find ways of maintaining revenue and holding public trust and interest. Last week, news broke that a newspaper that's served Pembroke and the Ottawa Valley for 163 years is down to its final month of operation. Postmedia will close the long-serving daily paper with the last edition slated for July 28. The newspaper industry is being battered by digital disruption, as advertising dollars once spent in local newspapers are sucked out of the country by foreign tech giants Google and Facebook, says Unifor, the union representing some of the affected Pembroke employees. It's time we take action. News is not only critical to democracy, but to the health of communities. Let's do what we can to preserve and bolster this vital industry. The pen is still mightier than the sword.

School closure a time for reflection here The loss of rural schools should be mourned, writes Ashley Kulp Whenever a school is shuttered, it's a loss to the community. When it takes place in a rural area, that blow can be even bigger. Last week, I covered the farewell celebration of Wolford Public School for our papers. You never quite know what to expect, but instead of a sombre atmosphere, I was greeted with optimism; smiles and laughs between former teachers and students who hadn't seen each other in years, and the nervous energy of students preparing to perform their goodbye skits and en-
ASHLEY KULP Column joy pizza and games afterwards. There was obviously an air of sentimentality, but also hope for the future. In March 2017, after undertaking a pupil accommodation review, the Upper Canada District School Board made the decision to close seven schools within Leeds-Grenville, including Wolford and Oxford-on-Rideau Public School in Oxford Mills (it will close in 2019). I covered much of that process as parent councils,

community groups and organizations made pleas to the school board to keep their facilities open. It was clear there was anguish on the part of trustees in having to make their final decision. I don't believe it was one taken lightly. Yes, with less than 100 students it's hard to justify keeping the facility open, but it's sad that children will no longer be able to attend a school in their own community. Instead, they'll be bussed off to Merrickville or Smiths Falls, whose communities both have terrific schools, for their education. The days of the rural school seem numbered and that's something to mourn. The farewell reminded me of my own elementary school, Frankville Public School, in the small community between Brockville and
Smiths Falls. It was closed in June 2004. I received a wonderful education there and still count some of my former teachers as mentors. But back then in the late 1990s, the threat to rural schools could already be seen. Enrollment dwindled below 100 students and when I graduated grade 8, there were less than 10 of us who received our certificates and I was the only female. While it's a sad reality, the school's closure doesn't mean Wolford will go away. Those skills learned by students over decades will live on and the friendship and mentors gained won't soon be forgotten. – Ashley Kulp is a news editor for Metroland Media, including the Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette, the Kemptville Advance.

COUNTY

The following are highlights from the special Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, June 27. Council has approved the Community Forest Five-Year Operating Plan for 2018-2022, which is a working document that is part of the 20-year forest management plan approved by council in 2011 after a public review process. The most recent operating plan expired in 2017, and during the past year the county's forest management advisors collaborated with the Community Forest working group to develop the new plan. The Lanark County Community Forest consists of 40 properties comprising almost 4,600 hectares throughout the county. The properties were purchased by the county between 1938 and 1987 and are made up of tracts of natural forest, treed plantations in former farmland, and lakes and wetlands. The new operating plan describes activities carried out by the forest manager, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, from 2013-2017 and provides a detailed schedule for the current period. To ensure long-term forest and finan-
cial sustainability, there is a 20year forecast of thinning and harvesting activities (to 2037), which is reviewed and extended a further five years with each new operating plan. The plan is key to ensuring forestry and property administration activities are carried out in an organized fashion. Speed limit reduction for Lally Road Council has approved a bylaw authorizing the reduction of the speed limit on County Road 21 for the entire portion known as Lally Road from 60 kilometres per hour to 50. The portion runs from County Road 14 (Narrows Lock Road) to Lally Lake Drive, part of which is through Murphys Point Provincial Park. This follows discussion with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Species at Risk (SAR) Division, regarding the rehabilitation project currently taking place on the road. To obtain necessary permits for the project, county staff participated in SAR training, conducted an inventory of identified SAR, and committed to putting measures in place to reduce their mortality.
The speed limit reduction is one of the measures, as well as installing three seasonal speed bumps from April 1 to Nov. 1 each year and posting a cautionary message on the Municipal 511 website advising motorists this section of road is not
suitable for camping trailers due to its narrow, winding nature. The message has been posted and the speed bumps will consist of rubber mats affixed by spikes that will be removed prior to winter maintenance activities. Some of the iden-
tified species at risk include Gray rat snakes and Blanding's turtles. The speed reduction will take place as soon as necessary signs are installed. Submitted by the County of Lanark

Excitement of new bathing suits wears off quickly
Aunt Freda's 'gifts' were rarely practical on farm, columnist recalls Mother said Father's sisters, Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and Aunt Freda in Chicago, had no idea what we needed on the farm they had left years before. Although she was always grateful to Aunt Lizzie for the twice-a-year hand-medown box of boys and men's clothes she sent on the CPR train, Aunt Freda's parcels were a different story. I knew Chicago was a big city, because my brother Everett showed
MARY COOK Column me a map of the place in a book he had brought home from the Renfrew library, so that made me think Aunt Freda must be as rich as Aunt Lizzie who lived in Regina. Every now and then a parcel would arrive, and although we kids were as excited as blazes to get something wrapped in brown paper in the mail, the excitement faded away pretty quickly, because
usually what was inside was either something we couldn't use, or was a piece of clothing not the least suitable for life on the farm ... like the pure silk bathrobe she sent Father, who went to bed in his underwear every night. Or the box of a few dozen pieces of wires, boxes and contraptions that made no sense, until we called Uncle Alec from the next farm to help us figure it out. It didn't take him long to tell us to pack it up and put it in the drive shed, because it was pieces that had to be put together to make a radio. It came with a long cord with a plug on the end, and with no electricity on the farm, it joined several other mysterious parcels
coming our way from Chicago. And then came the day when a parcel arrived from Aunt Freda addressed to Audrey. Never had I seen my sister so excited. She tore into the parcel and pulled out two bathing suits ... one in her size, and an identical one for me. We had never had store-bought bathing suits before. They were navy and white stripes, and were made of pure wool, according to the label attached to the straps. It didn't take Audrey and me long to get out of our clothes, put on the suits and head for the Bonnechere. "Audrey, mine itches like crazy," I said as we made a beeline for the river. Audrey assured me once they were wet, they

One day last week during my daily walk I met an acquaintance and we chatted briefly. He knows my love for the game of soccer ("football" in most of the world) and he asked if I was watching the FIFA World Cup in Russia, which is now in the playoff phase and whether I intended to write a column about it. My answer to the first question was affirmative. I have been watching as many World Cup games as time allows. As for a column on the world championship I told him I hadn't planned to write anything. However the performance of "my team" - England - at this year's event has made me reconsider. With so few teams I follow regularly participating I had to drill deeper to find countries whose national teams appeal to me. No Canada in this event again of course and, to most football watchers' surprise, no United States either. But it was during our many visits to Great Britain that I became hooked on soccer. It was the English who invented the sport after all. But they've only won the World Cup on one occasion, back in 1966 when England hosted the competition which is played every four years. In recent times England has not excelled at the World Cup. Looking back at the two previous competitions it has been a story of bitter disappointment for British soccer fans. In the last tournament, played in Brazil in 2014, the England squad fell at the first hurdle, the group stage, although admittedly they were in a very tough group. Four years earlier in South Africa they were better. England didn't lose in group play, tying the U.S. 1-1 and drawing 0-0 with Algeria. Controversial game Like all England fans I was embarrassed by the performance of the team in Brazil four summers ago. Under manager Roy Hodgson (now the head coach at Crystal Palace in the English Premier
JEFF MAGUIRE Column League) the England squad looked rudderless. Admittedly they, like most past English clubs, were badly hampered by the lack of a worldclass striker. On the pitch in Brazil they appeared confused, without any real plan for important elements such as who would take corners and free kicks. They seemed to be making it up as they went along! They beat Slovenia 1-0 to make the Round of 16 but were matched against a very strong German side. They lost that game 4-1 although an obvious England goal, which would have tied the contest 2-2, was infamously disallowed and resulted in major controversy. Earlier in the 2000s England made it into the quarter-finals at both the 2002 World Cup in Japan/ Korea and the 2006 finals in Germany. Besides their lone World Cup triumph in 1966, England's second best tournament result was in 1990 in Italy. They reached the semifinals losing a heartbreaker 4-3 in a penalty shootout to eventual champions West Germany. Since first entering the tournament in 1950 England has failed to qualify three times, the most recent being 1994 when the U.S. played host to the world competition. This year has been a different story. Under the direction of new bench boss Gareth Southgate, a former Premier League defender/ midfielder turned manager who played more than over 500 games in England's top-flight, the current squad is much better. There is a renewed emphasis on defence and up front England has their best striker at the World Cup in decades in the person of Harry Kane, the Tottenham Hotspur star. Southgate, who won 52 caps (appearances) with the national team during his 18-year playing career,
has selected a young side with more speed, something that's crucial in the modern game. There is also a renewed emphasis on defence with some good young keepers and strong, determined fullbacks and central defenders. Up front England has their best striker at the World Cup in decades in the person of Harry Kane, the Tottenham Hotspur (EPL) star. They cruised through the long qualifying campaign for this World Cup and in Russia they won their first two matches including a 6-1 thrashing of Panama in Game 2 on June 24. Kane netted twice, including a late winner, in England's well deserved tournament opening 2-1 victory over Tunisia. He then bagged a hat trick in Game 2, including a pair of perfectly taken penalties. To demonstrate how poor England's overall scoring performance at the World Cup has been over the years, Kane's five goals moved him into a second-place tie with Geoff Hurst (he starred for England's winning squad in 1966) on the alltime team goal scoring list. Gary Lineker, now a sports broadcaster, holds the England scoring record with 10 FIFA World Cup tallies. No matter what happens the rest of the way England has regained their balance at this World Cup and although the players deserve credit, I feel Southgate should stand front and centre at the end of this competition. Under his steady hand a new era may be dawning for English national team football. His open, media-friendly and fresh approach has breathed life into a program which, four short years ago, appeared to be on the ropes. Southgate and his young squad have revived English fans pride in their soccer team and in the world's most popular sport, which was invented in their country. Perhaps most important of all, the 2018 World Cup has given fans and everyone associated with British soccer renewed hope for the future. Maybe a second World Cup title for England isn't so far away after all? – Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

COMMUNITY
Lanark County's Connections program seeks volunteer birth companions The Connections program for families is a nonprofit agency which is part of Lanark Community Programs, (part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services). It is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community. We are currently looking for volunteer birth companions to volunteer their time with young women in our community. Volunteers are especially needed in the Smiths Falls and Carleton Place area. The Birth Companion program began in 1995, it is unique and highly valued in Lanark County. Today we celebrate more than 300 matches made. Its purpose is to support young women, or young women and their partners, throughout their pregnancy, labour and delivery. Every step of the way a trained volunteer from our community supports the family and the arrival of the new baby. Statistics show when a woman has good support during labour and delivery, birth outcomes improve, resulting in fewer interventions and labours resulting in caesarean sections. All volunteers apply and are asked to provide three solid references. A police vulnerability/criminal records check is done and an interview takes place. An extensive training is offered over a three-day period or six evening sessions. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: confidentiality, teen pregnancy, effective communication, stages of labour, labour comfort techniques, infectious disease control and breast feeding. An explanation of what Connections does and its philosophy is reviewed, and current community resources are shared. When a match becomes available, Volunteers are chosen and introduced to the young women in their
community. Participants have been matched as early as four weeks pregnant and as late as just prior to labour. Birth companions and participants spend time throughout the pregnancy doing a variety of things together. Accompaniment to a doctor or ultrasound appointment, prenatal classes or teachings, shopping, cooking or just spending time together having a coffee. Mostly it's an ear to listen and knowing there is someone in the community they can count on. Birth companions are encouraged to do a birth plan (provided) with their match, reviewing what the women/ partner want and hope for during delivery and after. Most matches are part of the delivery, although not all. Our volunteers are excited when they can attend a birth, some have attended more than 30 deliveries. At times, participants have requested the same volunteer for all of their children. Deliveries are always different, natural births, assisted births, caesarean-sections, home births and we even had a birth in an ambulance with the volunteer present. The Connections volunteer co-ordinator facilitates the training, checks in on a biweekly schedule with each volunteer while matched, offering support and guidance. She is available by phone throughout the match at any time. The facilitator also checks in with the participant, making sure her needs are always being met. Our birth companions haven given us some great feedback over the years based on their experiences: "it was beautiful," "I cried with the mom," "she did an amazing job," and "dad did a great job supporting his partner." Our participants have stated: "She was so supportive," "she helped so much with my appointments," "amazing," "she
was there for me when my partner wasn't," "she had me for dinner with my son and baby," "she gave me hope for my future," "I was so scared, she made me feel safe," and "she stuck up for me." One father told us "she helped me help my partner get through the labour and delivery." Birth companions can become a lifeline for these women and for the families. Although matches technically end at six weeks, often they continue indefinitely. We have stories of birth companions becoming godparents and/or becoming part of the extended family. Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and the community. Connections is a very unique agency. We offer not only a variety of support but a progression of support. Participants can move from program to program as their child develops or they can use more than one program at a time. All participation is voluntary, free and is parent directed. Our programs are run throughout Lanark County and our Good Food for a Healthy Baby program is also run in Leeds-Grenville. Our slogan at Connections is Real Help ... Right Here ... Right Now. If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children, please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. We are here to help. Please call 613-2572779 ext. 3104 for more information about our programming or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer in our Birth Companion program or in our playgroups offered throughout Lanark County.

BarnDoor Productions' new version of the classic farce Charley's Aunt launched the company's 23rd summer series last June in grand style with flying bodies and slamming doors bringing plenty of laughter to Perth's Full Circle Theatre. For July, Full Circle Theatre will play host to something completely different. Getting To Room Temperature is a one-man show performed by one of Canada's most recognizable TV faces and written by one of Canada's most respected playwrights. Getting To Room Temperature, by former Great Canadian Theatre Company artistic director Arthur
Milner, is a remarkable script that is, frankly, about death and dying, in particular about the need and desire for doctor-assisted suicide. As performed by well-known Canadian television performer Robert Bockstael, the show offers "believable humour ... poignant remembrances and effective arguments. Bockstael feels familiar, even intimate; like a confidante who spins out his story ... at a fireside chat." (Jennifer Cavanagh, Apt613 blog). Bockstael's work includes the CBC series' North of 60 and Wind At My Back, as well as many other stage, film and television credits. Milner's
works have been performed as far afield as the United Kingdom and Israel. Getting To Room Temperature is, according to its author, "a hard-hitting, sentimental and funny one-person play about dying." Its 2016 debut was the best-selling play in the history of Ottawa's undercurrents festival and it has received rave reviews on cross-country tours since. One patron's comment was "A very funny, warm, loving and provocative piece. Robert Bockstael had us in the palm of his hand." The Ottawa Citizen says "Milner, through the accessible voice of Bockstael, wraps his questions in warm an-
ecdotes ... sprinkles the show with humour, and lovingly depicts his vital, opinionated mother" while the Just Another Gala blog said "Robert Bockstael is a wonderful performer and a fantastic storyteller. It's very intimate ... polished ... funny ... but absolutely important ..." The 75-minute show will be followed by a half-hour talk-back session with Bockstael. Getting To Room Temperature will be in Perth for three performances only: July 20 at 7:30 p.m. and July 21 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be $25 and they are available exclusively at Tickets Please (613 485 6434, www.ticketsplease.ca).
BarnDoor Productions will follow that up in August with the premiere production of Willm Shaksper, a new play based on a century old script that looks at the life of the man who became The Bard of Avon. The original 1917 play was built around the half-dozen or so facts about Shakespeare that were known back then; the new script builds on that through the light of the many hundreds (if not thousands) of facts that have been discovered since. The story is funny, dramatic, surprising and, perhaps in the end, tragic, as the life of William Shakespeare is looked at in five
episodes from his early days as a playwright through the days just before his death. It's a unique take on the Bard and one which is full of entertainment.

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

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23
Cancer, it is important to support others’ goals and the steps they take to achieve them, even if you do not necessarily agree with their formula for success.
Avoid going too far off in your own direction this week, Libra. Before making any rash decisions, take some time to ask questions and get answers.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22
Taurus, planning stages are over and now you’re about to turn your goals into reality. Just be sure to adapt to the changing environment as things unfold.
Happiness has less to do with what is happening in the world and more with your own perceptions, Leo. Keep this in mind as you move forward in life.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
Scorpio, if something doesn’t initially work to your liking, don’t be shy about giving it another go. The challenges ahead will be worth it when you ultimately succeed.
Aries, when everything is going your way, you are absolutely glowing. But if things don’t come naturally to you, frustration may set in. Find a balance between the two.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21
Gemini, you might be seeking ways to help others in need, but you do not have patience when things take longer than expected. Stick to the plan and see it through.
Virgo, challenges at work may be tiring you out. People may seem like they are all over the map instead of working together. Try to get everyone going in the same direction.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your creativity and emotions are linked this week, Sagittarius. Pour your heart and efforts into a special project that reflects just how you are feeling.
Nothing in a current relationship is unfolding as you had expected, Capricorn. That’s alright. This sense of adventure that keeps you guessing is a welcome change.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, working closely with others is one of your strong points. Disagreements on how to approach different projects can be tricky to navigate, but you’re up to the task.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, this week there may be little separation between your career and personal life. If that works for you, forget the naysayers.

Too many of us don't monitor tire inflation, columnist Brian Turner writes
BRIAN TURNER Column The Tire and Rubber Association of Canada recently released the results of a survey they commissioned Leger to complete on drivers' understanding of proper tire pressures on their rides. While some of the results are promising (over 90 per cent of respondents believe they are responsible to make sure their vehicles are as fuel efficient as possible and proper tire pressure has a lot to do with that), other answers reveal we still have a long way to go. Only 30 per cent measure their tires' inflation pressures monthly, a practice essential to fuel economy, road safety. A whopping 65 per cent were unaware inflation pressures should only be measured when tires are cold (meaning being parked for at least three hours or not have been driven more than two kilometres prior to checking tire inflation).
Thirty-seven per cent refer to the air pressure stamped on the tire's side wall when identifying the correct pressure for their tires. That spec is the maximum pressure a tire can contain under maximum load, but not the recommended inflation level. The proper inflation pressure info is located on a vehicle label usually affixed to the edge of the driver's door or on that door's frame. Twenty-two per cent rely on visual inspections to determine if their tires are inflated properly. A tire can be underinflated by 20 per cent or more and look normal. "Canadian drivers understand the benefits of proper tire inflation and that's great news," says Glenn Maidment, president of the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada, which represents tire makers. "However, the survey also emphasizes the urgent requirement for broader driver knowledge and education on tire inflation facts and procedures. The need is particularly acute among younger drivers who are significantly less likely to know inflation pressures should be measured monthly and when tires are cold. Learning a few simple facts and procedures advances safety, maximizes fuel efficiency and protects the environment." In addition to saving money on rubber (running tires at the wrong inflation pressure leads to premature wear), keeping tires properly inflated will save on fuel
costs. You lose 0.2 per cent of your fuel economy for every 1 psi the tires are below the recommended pressure. With fuel predicted to go north of $1.40 per litre soon, keeping an eye and gauge on

The Vegetable of the Year for 2018 is beets (Beta vulgaris), according to the National Garden Bureau, and no wonder! It is a powerhouse of nutrients. Although it has more sugar than any other vegetable, it is high in fibre, vitamins and minerals. Beets are loaded with potassium, manganese and vitamin C. Experts say beets will help to lower blood pressure, fight cancer and inflammation, boost your stamina and support detoxification. Both the leaves and the root are delicious. The leafy tops are higher in iron than spinach and are used like swiss chard. The root is very versatile - grated raw in salads, canned, pickled, juiced or used in soup - a favourite being borscht. Beets get their lovely rich colour from pigments called anthocyanins. The particular anthocyanin of beets is beta cyanine. This pigment is water soluble and is destroyed by heat, so when beets are cooked, the beta cyanine leaks into the water and stains it red. Golden beets lack this pigment, so another pigment present in all beets - beta xanthine - shines through to give the roots a beautiful golden colour. Yellow beets do not stain the cooking water the way red ones do. Beets grew naturally
along the coast in North Africa, Asia and Europe. Originally it was the beet greens that were consumed but as far back in history as ancient Rome, the beet root was also part of the diet. By the 19th century, beets were recognized for their sugar content. In Napoleon times, beets were a primary source of sugar. Beet root will thrive in all parts of North America. Pests and diseases are not major concerns. It is easy to grow in most soils, doing best in rich, sandy loam with a pH of 6.5. Beets can be cropped in succession every two weeks from mid spring to midsummer. Beets planted in the heat of summer may become tough and stringy. Most seed will germinate in five-10 days. Unsettled weather conditions and checks in growth will often cause "white rings." Beet seeds should be planted one-centimetre deep and five cm apart. When plants are five-10 cm tall, thin them to stand 1015 cm apart. They can be harvested when their size suits you. When harvesting, remove the tops leaving about 2.5 cm attached to the root. Beets are more tender when they are small. A 50-foot row will probably yield 50 pounds. To some people a beet is a beet is a beet, but to gar-
deners in the know, different beet varieties are suited to different purposes. If you want to store your beets to have them on hand for winter use, try varieties such as "Detroit Dark Red" type or "Carillon," which is a cylindrical shape. "Tausus" is touted as being best for pickling, and "Chioggia" is a flat globe beet with contrasting purple and white interiors. "Touchstone Gold" is bright gold in colour and does not bleed interior colour. "Eagle," a baby beet, has delicious medium green tops and is excellent for canning. "Avalanche" is a new white flesh variety with good disease resistance. How interesting they would be when combined with other red and golden beets. "Red Ace" is a favourite multi-purpose beet. There are many choices, both hybrid and open pollinated. With beets you get two veggies from one. Do plant some in 2018.

Nichols will perform in second largest military tattoo in the world l Continued from page 1
Christina is Victoria's proud mother. "The Canadian highland dance team is invited to participate at the tattoo every two to three years," Christina added. The Basel Tattoo is the second largest military tattoo in the world, attracting the best bands from across the globe. Breathtaking choreographies, beautiful dancers and dramatic show elements play an important role in the overall experience of the spectators. In the past 11 years, the tattoo has hosted in excess of one million people. Victoria was chosen for the Canadiana Celtic High-
land Dancers after submitting two audition videos and an essay, which she did last December. "Being on the team is something I have wanted for a very long time, but I needed to be 16 to apply," the teenager stated. "When I was 11, after seeing one of the team's performances in a YouTube video, I printed off an application and put it on my (bedroom) wall," Victoria added. Her audition videos encompassed two dances: Seann Triubhas and Earl of Erroll. "The Seann Triubhas is a slow, smooth, graceful and artistic dance," Breman explained. "The Earl of Erroll is a more tradi-
tional dance but powerful." Victoria has danced with Breman since she was three years old, and in many styles besides highland, including modern, ballet, jazz, hip hop and point. "She has come a long way!" Breman said with a laugh. "When I started dancing in the baby ballet class at age three I really had no idea where it would lead," Victoria said. "I remember watching the older girls doing highland dancing at the annual recital and I wanted to be just like them." She started highland dance at age six. "Rosemary has been an amazing teacher," Victoria stressed. "She sets very high
expectations for her students, and she taught me to work hard, to practice often and to be disciplined." In February, Victoria heard the news she was on the team. "My parents came to the studio ... I thought I was in trouble," she said. "We all jumped for joy," Breman noted. "I am very proud of her as she is my first student to apply and go." Victoria departs Canada for Basel on July 12, returning on July 30. While in Switzerland, in advance of the tattoo, the dancers will train together for a full week. "They call it Hell Week," Christina noted.
Stephanie Grant and Stephanie Turnball direct the Canadiana Celtic Highland Dancers. "In Basel, the group will also participate in a parade through the downtown and do 10 performances over nine days," she added. There is also an opportunity for a little downtime. "We get to do four day trips with staff, going into the Swiss Alps," Victoria said. The teenager has never been to Switzerland before; however, she has travelled to Scotland for dancing. Beforehand going abroad, Victoria will learn specific steps ... choreography created for the tattoo. A total of six videos were re-

cently delivered for viewing. This year, the Canadiana Celtic Highland Dancers will perform to the live music of Scotland's most famous bagpipe rock band, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. "I am so excited!" Victoria exclaimed. "Canada produces some of the best highland dancers in the world," Christina said. She noted, "Carleton Place is an extraordinary highland dance community." Unlike other forms of dancing, Christina added, "Highland dancing is a competitive and technical dance form requiring technique, stamina and strength, and it is recognized as a sport by the Sport Council of Scotland." Victoria is currently in Calgary for the highland nationals, ScotDance Canada Championship Series. A student at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, Victoria is entering Grade 11 this fall. "I am looking forward to deciding where I will go to university," she stated. "I am thinking about a career in social sciences ... something like sports therapy or sports psychology. However, no matter what she does, one thing is certain. Time will always be made for highland dancing. "She works very hard," Christina said. "She definitely has a great work ethic," Breman concurred, and "when she need it, I push her." In addition to school and dance, including competitions, Victoria holds a parttime job at Harvey's in Carleton Place. "My school and the managers at Harvey's have been very supportive of me, accommodating my travelling, training and crazy competition schedule," the teenager stressed. "I also want to thank Rosemary, my family and friends." Victoria will finish her busy summer with two weeks of competitions in Scotland: 2018 Commonwealth Highland Dance Championships and 2018 World Highland Dancing Championship. "She has amazing strength and determination," Breman said.

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Cyclists will soon have dedicated bike lanes along Martin Street North in Almonte, but a petition from homeowners on Sadler Drive prompted Mississippi Mills council to delay installing lanes there. The concept for the lanes was discussed at the June 26 meeting, where council heard a presentation from Sadler Drive (located in the Mill Run subdivision) resident Gerry Belisle, who discussed homeowners' opposition to the installation of the lanes, as well as a ban on on-street parking. The gallery was filled with several homeowners for the discussion. On June 18, a petition was submitted to the municipality, containing 117 signatures from homeowners on Sadler Drive, Laroque Street, Horton Street, Honeyborne Street and Augusta Street. Belisle said an additional fourand-a-half pages of signatures have been collected since. According to the pe-
tition, "such a ban on street parking will not only inconvenience visiting relatives and friends to our homes, it will create unnecessary hardships for the providers of care services to resident senior citizens, for service calls and deliveries to our homes." "By way of preliminary comment, I must say that I have never heard of bicycle lanes and the intended ban on street parking introduced in a residential subdivision during my 21 years in municipal politics," Belisle commented. "This concept is a non-starter and this theme resonated clearly and loudly from the countless signatories to the petition during my discussions with them." He said on the recent Mother's Day weekend, cars had lined the entire length of Sadler Drive. "Where are such people supposed to park when they come to visit their family members in our subdivision?" Belisle questioned. "Where are the various service agencies and deliveries expected to park when they provided the

rector Guy Bourgon's recommendation that lanes be installed on both of the streets. In his report to council, he said the Sadler Drive concept was keeping in accordance with the Partham Engineering design from April 26 and the primary reason is to increase bicycle safety. "Studies have shown a significant reduction in collisions and injuries involving cyclists once bicycle lanes were introduced," Bourgon stated. "The delineation of both car and bicycle travel lanes resulted in increased driver awareness of cyclists, acted as a
traffic calming mechanism, eliminated the threat of dooring from parked vehicles and generally made cyclists feel safer in travelling on the roadway. Secondary benefits included reduced traffic congestion, noise and green house gas emissions, increased cycling tourism and health benefits to the community from cycling." Mississippi Mills installed bike lanes on Ottawa Street a few years ago and Coun. Duncan Abbott noted those aren't widely used so he isn't sure if these l See RESIDENTS', page 6

"I was the one who asked that the requests be separated so we could have two distinct votes because to me, they're not the same thing," noted Mayor Shaun McLaughlin. "A bike lane on Martin Street North is basically a municipal bike arterial route where a municipal bike lane in a small neighbourhood like Mill Run is a neighbourhood bike lane. They're two separate animals." It was public works di-

much needed support service to the numerous senior citizens who own homes on Sadler Drive, including this 84-year-old homeowner." Belisle indicated the issue originated in the terms and conditions of the subdivision agreement with Mississippi Mills and Neilcorp Homes, the developers of Mill Run, signed on March 4, 2013. He said a clause introduced the bicycle lanes, which were only a concept at the time. As Sadler Drive is currently a dead-end street, Belisle questioned the rationale behind installing the lanes just "so cyclists will be encouraged to drive down these two blocks, turn around and go back to Ottawa Street." He pleaded with council to recognize the taxes and development fees homeowners and Neilcorp Homes, the developers of Mill Run, have invested into the municipality. Mill Run is slated to include 540 homes of which 240 have been built. "We, the current homeowners, contribute approximately $1.2 million yearly in municipal taxes and we are hopeful that our collectivity in purpose will garner support from council. As an indication of Neil Corp's support to our community, we should know that this developer has contributed $27 million to the Municipality of Mississippi Mills during the past 10 years in fees, permits and development charges. This is an impressive subdivision with a remarkable number of taxpayers, whose request, in our opinion, deserves some accommodation by council."

Town removes beer fridge from fire department l Continued from front
ham Swan. Mayor Louis Antonakos was the sole 'nay.' Coun. Brian Doucett was absent with regrets. Antonakos later explained his vote. "I do not agree with some of the information and assumptions contained within the legal opinion," he said. The Canadian Gazette reached out to Smithson for comment. "As the matter was discussed in camera, I am not at liberty to discuss the matter," the CAO responded. She did, however, make the following point: "Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), as a competent manager, I am responsible for the health and safety of all employees of the corporation. If anything happened where it was shown I did not undertake my responsibilities appropriately, I personally could be held liable and could be subject to a fine of $100,000 and up to 12 months in prison. In addition, the corporation (council) has responsibili-
ties under the OHSA and it could be subject to a fine of $1,500,000. It is my responsibility to advise council of their responsibilities so as to avoid risk on behalf of the corporation." This newspaper was able to obtain a copy of the legal opinion offered by Cunningham Swan, which provided specific advice on the town's exposure to liability based on the following scenarios: the town allowing the beer fridge to remain at the mess hall; a lease between the town and the OWFC for the use of the mess hall; or funding from the town to the OWFC so it may lease a private space. As stated in the legal opinion, the beer fridge is located in the kitchen of the mess hall. The door to the mess hall is locked; however, all members of the OWFC have an access key. Members of the OWFC stock the fridge with beer, with the alcoholic beverages consumed as desired by the members at a price of $3 per beverage. All proceeds are used to restock the fridge. Members may bring their spouse and other fam-
ily members over the age of 19 to consume alcoholic beverages. In regards to option one, the legal opinion noted, the consumption of alcoholic beverages at the mess hall by members of the OWFC and their families presents civil liability issues, as well as issues under the Liquor License Act (LLA). Option two, a lease between the town and the OWFC for the use of the mess hall, is possible, provided the lease require the OWFC to comply with the LLA and obtains the necessary permits. "However, the town would still face the same risks and exposure to liability, should any member consume alcohol at the mess hall and proceed to carry out their duties in a negligent manner or suffer or cause injuries as a result of their consumption of alcohol," the legal opinion stated. It continued: "It is not the lease itself creating the liability, it is the knowledge alcohol is being consumed and the town is not controlling the activity."
The third option involving funding from the town to the OWFC so it may lease a private space carries the same risks as option one. As stated in the legal opinion: "Any funding provided by the town to the OWFC, with the knowledge the premises would be used for the consumption of alcoholic beverages by members of the OWFC at their leisure, including immediately following training exercises and on occasion following a call to a fire, could be seen by the court as implicit authorization of such activity given funding or partial funding is provided by the town." Although the OWFC operates under work policies, terms and conditions separate from the town, it also has strict rules pertaining to alcohol and banned substance use. However, Cunningham Swan highlighted the following provision: all members of the fire company "shall refrain from the consumption of alcoholic beverages while on any property associated with the fire company except in the mess hall at times and
circumstances specified by the chief of the department." It is noted within the legal opinion, "This provision permits the consumption of alcohol in the workplace on town premises, which adds to the town's exposure to liability." Since the town's human resource (HR) policy contains provisions to address alcohol and drugs in the workplace, Cunningham Swan suggested it be amended to include the OWFC, or the rules established by the OWFC contain the same alcohol and substance use provisions in the town's policy. The final recommendation of Cunningham Swan is for the town to remove the beer fridge from the mess hall. Too, it should amend its HR policy to include the OWFC, or the rules established by the OWFC contain the same alcohol and substance use provisions in the town's policy. "We see no benefit to the town allowing the beer fridge to remain or in the provision of funding for a
space to allow members of the OWFC to consume alcohol outside of town premises," the legal opinion concluded. With Doucett absent on Tuesday, Coun. Theresa Fritz chaired the gathering. However, she removed herself briefly to put forth a motion to have the mess hall discussion in the public sphere. Coun. Ross Trimble assumed the chair. Fritz suggested the committee could review the legal opinion in camera and then come out and have the balance of the discussion in open session. "When this (opinion) was received from the lawyer they did as part of their email to me indicate it should be discussed in camera" per section 239 of the municipal act, CAO Diane Smithson said. Owing to the legal opinion being key to the conversation, Fritz heeded to the will of council and "reluctantly" withdrew her motion. "However, I want to publicly state we are doing the community a great disservice," she said.
University hearing study seeks participants. Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

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

proposed lanes would be either. "We have a bicycle lane now and it was put in there on the basis, from that wonderful old book, 'if you build it, they will come,'" he said. "Well, we built it and they didn't come. It's not like in Ottawa, where there's streams of people going along the bike lanes, you're lucky to find a day when you see somebody going up Ottawa Street on a bike." He added that with Almonte and District High School located on Martin Street North, there's very little parking and the street can become congested if there's a major event. A supporter of cycling infrastructure, Coun. Jill McCubbin said she believed roads weren't just built for parking and cars. "The county has a vision for paved shoulders on county roads, one of which is Appleton Side Road. This council has approved the Ottawa Street landscaping plan, they have not started the Ottawa landscaping plan, but it has been approved and carried," she said. "It has a pedestrian and cycle path that will be going along Ottawa Street. That will be a link. We have the Ottawa bike lanes right now, unpopular or popular and if we approve the Martin Street bicycle lanes, they join up there." However, with no linkages possible on Sadler Drive presently, she suggested deferring that issue for the time being. The Martin Street North recommendation was passed, but councillors refused to put the Sadler Drive issue on the table, so it was the same as a defeat.

On June 2, community volunteers from Pakenham and Almonte, as well as students from nearby Holy Name of Mary Catholic School and Almonte and District High School came together to clean up the park. Three pathways were cut to allow schoolchildren from Holy Name of Mary access to the park and eliminate risk of ticks. Plants were added and trees were trimmed. The group celebrated with a barbecue after the work was done. The park, dedicated in 2003 to honour the late Don

Community volunteers came together to refresh Don Maynard Park in Almonte on June 2. Trees were trimmed, pathways were cut and flowers and foliage were planted. Maynard, a former high school teacher and recreation ambassador in the community, currently fronts on Gale Street. Mississippi Mills council made the decision in March 2017 to reconfigure the park to allow for the creation of
five lots to be sold. The new park footprint will be adjacent to Holy Name of Mary school. The rezoning of the land was endorsed by Lanark County council, the approval authority, in September 2017.

Fourteen names added to honour roll in Carleton Place TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Fourteen more names have found their home on the new honour roll in Carleton Place council chambers. At the policy review meeting on June 26 the names were unveiled during a presentation by Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) Branch 192. The names added were as follows: John Andrews (retired served in Afghanistan and Bosnia), Réal Arsenault (retired served in Afghanistan), John A. Buffam (retired - served in Egypt and Germany), Joseph Robert Campbell (retired - served in Cyprus, Egypt and Germany), David Colenutt (active - served in both Kuwait and Iraq), Danny L. Compton (active - served in Cyprus and Afghanistan), Donald Ecker (retired - served in Cyprus), Paul Grant (retired served in Golan Heights), John David Harris (retired - served in Cyprus, Israel, Croatia and Palestine), Randy LaHaise (retired served in Bosnia), Dwayne McCarthy (retired - served in Nico-
sia, Cyprus and Bosnia), Donald J. McKay (retired - served in both France and Germany), Melinda Pearson (retired - served in Bosnia and Afghanistan) and Ross Miller (retired - served in Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Gulf War). "Our town is steeped in military history," Ron Goebel said. Goebel sits on the branch's honour roll committee. Moreover, he is a past president of the local legion, the current chairman of RCL Ontario Provincial Command and an executive council member at RCL Dominion Command. Two other members of the legion's six-person honour roll committee were in attendance on Tuesday night: Garry Pond and Bill Carvill. Pond is a past president of branch 192 and the current first vice president of RCL Provincial Command. Carvill is a past sergeant-at-arms at the legion. Owing to prior commitments, only seven of the 14 individuals added to the new honour roll were able to be at the unveiling. "On behalf of council and our residents, thank you to the men and women who have served our
country," Mayor Louis Antonakos commented. Antonakos became a member of branch 192 in October 2016. The new honour roll program started as a pilot project in Carleton Place; however, it has since been made available to every legion branch in Canada. "In late 2012, following the town's annual Remembrance Day ceremony, a conversation took place between myself and the current deputy mayor, Jerry Flynn, regarding the honour rolls located in council chambers," Goebel explained. Flynn has been a branch 192 member in good standing for 32 years. "Although we had recognized local veterans who served in the First World War, Second World War and Korean War, we had not recognized any of our veterans since 1953," Goebel noted. Since the end of the Korean War, approximately 125,000 Canadians have served in various United Nations (UN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) peacekeeping military missions, including Afghani-

More Choices for Women Almonte General Hospital is proud of its long tradition of maternity care for families in our region. For generations, we have been providing a full-range of services from prenatal care to modern birthing facilities to follow-up care.
Drs. McGarry, Perron and Stewardson offer a shared care model. During pregnancy, each woman has the opportunity to meet and be cared for by all three doctors – which ensures a familiar face at the time of delivery. The physicians also provide post-partum care at the hospital for both Mom and baby.
Our team includes three Family Physicians who provide another option for healthy women with healthy pregnancies. Dr. Ursula McGarry, Dr. Sophie-Danielle Perron and Dr. Julie Stewardson are Family Physicians with obstetrics training who provide full prenatal, postnatal and neonatal care.
The physicians accept referrals from patients who are not part of the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team. They work closely with each patient’s Family Physician and transfer the patient back to their doctor upon discharge.
“We look after the whole person,” explains Dr. Stewardson. “We can’t separate our family medicine from our obstetrical care - we look after the whole you.”
Women who do not have a Family Physician can refer themselves to the program through the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team at 613-256-9370. To learn more, visit www. ovfht.ca
The Family Physicians work in close collaboration with AGH’s two Obstetricians - Dr. Bahaa Awwad and Dr. Dave Caloia.
“We are happy to bring a family medicine approach to obstetrical care at Almonte General Hospital,” sums up Dr. Stewardson.

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Cornerstone Landing Youth Services has a tiny solution for a big problem. Carleton Place council heard from the organization's board chair, Terrilee Kelford, on June 12, when she asked for its support in ending youth homelessness in the area. Kelford requested the town to review and consider a revision to its Official Plan (OP) and Development Permit Bylaw (DPB), allowing tiny homes to be used as secondary units on existing properties, as well as permitting multiple tiny homes on one property. Cornerstone Landing Youth Services believes building affordable housing is not only a plausible way to tackle youth homelessness, but it is also cost effective. Too, it puts less strain on emergency services such as police, ambulance and hospitals. As of 2013, homelessness cost the Canadian economy $7.05 billion annually, according to the Homeless
Hub newsletter. "The federal government has finally realized we have a housing crisis," Kelford stated. "We have 250,000 people a year who are homeless in Canada, with 35,000 to 40,000 of them being kids." The Homelessness Partnering Strategy is a federally funded, communitybased program aiming to prevent and reduce homelessness by providing direct support and funding to nonprofit agencies. Kelford is visiting councils in other Lanark County municipalities to speak about tiny homes. She also made a presentation to Lanark County council on June 13. "We went to Smiths Falls (in April) to pitch a concept of tiny homes," Kelford said. "We were asking them to partner with us, donating (municipally-owned residential land on Franklin Street) to create affordable housing for young people, putting tiny homes on it," she continued.

The organization is asking the town to review and consider a revision to its Official Plan (OP) and Development Permit Bylaw (DPB), allowing tiny homes to be used as secondary units on existing properties, as well as permitting multiple tiny homes on one property. pany building tiny homes planned to partner with Cornerstone Landing on this project. One of the push backs
Kelford's organization received ..."this (tiny homes) is a fad and it is going to go away," the board chair said. "It is not going to go away ...
this has been around for centuries ... it is around the world." "Investing in youth means investing in our communities," Kelford added. Situated in Perth, Cornerstone Landing Youth Services is a communitybased, non-profit charitable organization working to prevent, reduce and ultimately end youth homelessness in Lanark County. "We have adopted the nationally recognized best approach to housing homelessness called Housing First," Kelford stated. Housing First is an effective tool in solving chronic and episodic homelessness while reducing pressure on emergency services. "We have housing caseworkers who go out and meet with the kids, with our goal being to get them housed," Kelford explained. "From there we can provide them with all the supports they need to be successful beyond that." "Housing first means getting them into long-term housing as soon as possible
with supports," she continued. "Shelters should be a short-term response." Offering up some statistics, Kelford reported Cornerstone Landing Youth Services supported 58 young people, ages 16 through 26, in 2016. Last year, the figure jumped to 82, with 62 individuals being new referrals. Kelford's presentation offered several examples where tiny homes are being used in other areas. "Hamilton is one of the most progressive communities, looking at using tiny homes for housing, calling it laneway housing," she stated. None of the homes will be larger than 425 square feet. There is a recycled shipping container social housing development in Vancouver, B.C. The development provides 12 units of safe, affordable housing for women. All units are between 280 square feet and 290 square feet. "It has been quite suc-

"In June 2015, the criterion for inclusion and the new honour roll itself were approved by council," Goebel said. Nearly 10 months later, in April 2016, the first 13 names were added. "As we gather more names, we will continue to update the honour roll," Goebel promised. "In fact, we plan on having names added on an annual basis, during Legion Week (the third week in September)." The legion has always stressed the key to the success of its honour roll program is securing the names of people who qualify. "Therefore, we encourage council and the general public to get the word out," Goebel said. "We are seeking the names of individuals from Carleton Place who served in the Canadian Forces since the Korean War...UN and

sue." "I think it is a combination of political will and our respective planning staffs identifying where the challenges are and how can we make this happen," he continued. "We need to find a way to do it," Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn stated. "It (youth homelessness) is not going away." Kelford and the other individuals from Cornerstone Landing Youth Services are 100 per cent volunteers. "I am committed to doing this for the next 10 years if I need to, but I can not do it for the next 100," Kelford stated. "We need to get this figured out ... we can do it, but we need support." Following the board chair's presentation, Carleton Place council directed staff to examine the town's OP and DPB, to begin investigating if there is a way to accommodate tiny homes.

LEONARD WILFRED BAILEY July 19, 1913 - June 16, 2018 Len was known for his quick comebacks and friendly entertaining ways, even until the end. Born in London ON into a working class family with seven children, they worked together to survive the Great Depression. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy to serve in World War II, after which Len and Janet were married and had three children. Len made a career in sales with Kellogg’s Company of Canada and retired near Kemptville ON. Len and Janet left their family a wonderful inheritance. On several occasions they gathered all their children and grandchildren in Florida and the Bahamas or Cuba or Mexico and provided them with a legacy of memories. Len had a great number of interests and activities which he shared with his family: camping, fishing, boating and travelling. He was the consummate handyman. Even in his declining years he would happily crawl through an attic to fish a cable for a satellite dish. Janet died in 2010, Len moved into Carolina Retirement Suites in Perth until the time came to move over to Lanark Lodge where he passed peacefully, just short of his 105th birthday.

FOURNIER, Barbara Ann – July 10, 2013 The years may wipe out many things But this they’ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days When we were all together. We think of her in silence, Her name we oft recall. But there’s nothing left to answer But her picture on the wall. Just when her life was brightest, Just when her hopes were best, God called her from among us To a home of eternal rest. Forever remembered Dave and Families

Mississippi Mills hires new library CEO On June 27, the Mississippi Mills Public Library board formally confirmed the hiring of Christine Row as the library's new CEO/chief librarian. Row will take up her duties on Aug. 20. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work in such a vibrant and creative community and workplace," she said. Row has worked for the Rideau Lakes Public Library since 2005, in positions of increasing responsibility. After completing her masters of library and information science she was promoted to the position of CEO in 2015. She is dedicated to the concept of the library as a central community hub and has been involved in the renovation of three branch libraries. She is skilled in strategic planning and devoted to a teamwork approach to library development. After receiving her BA in public relations, Row worked for eight years in marketing and property assessment before moving to Rideau Lakes Public Library. Her excellent communication skills are an asset in building connections within the community.
Submitted/Rideau Lakes Public Library
Christine Row, current chief executive officer (CEO) with the Rideau Lakes Public Library, has been named the new CEO/chief librarian of the Mississippi Mills Public Library.
"I understand that libraries thrive through great partnerships," said Row. In 2017, Row and her staff received a provincial library award of excellence for developing the MAPsack program in conjunction with several community partners. MAP means movement and play. Concerned about kids not spending enough time outdoors, the library developed
40 nature-themed backpacks (MAPsacks) filled with books, activities, gadgets, trail maps and Ontario Parks day passes to inspire families to get active and explore nature. These are available for borrowing at the Mississippi Mills Public Library, too. Monica Blackburn will assume the duties of acting CEO until Row begins her new role. Blackburn will be overseeing all operations, programs and services at both branches of the library. She will be happy to handle any questions or suggestions during this period. Call 613-2561037. The Mississippi Mills Public Library is a two-branch public library serving a population of more than 13,000. Providing fee services, we offer books, DVDs, music, Wi-Fi and internet, community spaces and much more. We are an informed, engaged, creative and connected community. We inspire lifelong learning, provide equitable access to information, advance knowledge and strengthen the community. Submitted by the Mississippi Mills Public Library board
