Train station could become new seniors centre in Carleton Place TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com A centre for seniors could be on the horizon for Carleton Place, located in the former Canadian Pacific Railway station on Coleman Street.

Council members discussed the matter during the policy review meeting on June 26, which was chaired by Coun. Theresa Fritz.

"It is a great way to recognize our seniors and their value to our community," Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn stated.

Flynn asked for the item to be put on Tuesday night's agenda.

"I want to acknowledge it was Les Reynolds who put the bug in my ear about this, and I think it is a great bug," Flynn said.

With 43 years of fire service

to his credit, Reynolds recently retired as the town's director of protective services and fire chief.

"This is something I have been thinking about for a couple of years," he said. "The train station, as far as I am concerned, would be an ideal location."

Reynolds highlighted the seniors centre in Smiths Falls, calling it a beautiful facility.

"It was built from scratch," he noted. "Considerable capital was involved - obviously."

"We have a building already in place," Reynolds continued, and "it is in the perfect spot."

A seniors centre is a place for older adults to stay active and connected, learn new skills and l See SENIORS, page 5

County sees reduction in noxious weed spray

Lanark County is seeing results and a reduction in herbicide use as part of its long-term efforts to control noxious weeds, such as wild parsnip, through its integrated vegetation management plan.

Due to wild parsnip's rapid expansion along the county road system, the county has chosen to actively control the phototoxic weed that causes blisters and

burns.

"Controlling wild parsnip maintains the safety of anyone who must enter the roadside, including motorists involved in an accident, road workers, emergency/first responders, volunteers removing litter, and the public," explained Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves. "From an agricultural perspective, infested pastures

Carroll Cartage Ltd. intends to utilize Wagar & Corput Weed Control Inc. to control weeds along Guardrails, Posts and Roadside along the following Provincial Highways.

List of Highways to be sprayed are as follows: Provincial Highway 7 & 15. Provincial Highway 7 will be sprayed from Carleton Place to Perth. The Provincial Highway 15 will be sprayed from Carleton Place to Smiths Falls and old Highway 17.

The contractor will be using: Credit Xtreme Herbicide (PCP #29888) active ingredients Glysophate (present as isopropylamine and potassium salt), Arsenal Powerline Herbicide (PCP #30203) active ingredients imazapyr (present as the isopropylamine salt), Clearview Herbicide (PCP #29752) active ingredients Metsulfureon-methyl and Aminopyralid (present as potassium salt), and Gateway Adjuvant (PCP #31470) active ingredient Paraffinic Oil and Alkoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactants under the Pest Control Product Act (Canada).

pose a health risk to livestock, as the chemicals in wild parsnip cause weight loss and infertility issues. Infested hay cannot be sold as fodder for livestock and infested crops are not salable as food-grade quality or as seed."

Controlling invasive roadside vegetation also has environmental benefits, including stopping the spread of invasive species, protecting conservation areas, reducing damage on adjacent agriculture and re-establishing native pollinator habitat.

Prior to the roadside spraying program, the county attempted to mechanically control wild parsnip by tailoring mowing practices to reduce seed production. However, mowing was not an effective control, as it removes all vegetation, weakens competing plants and does not eradicate the wild parsnip roots and seeds.

"Peer-reviewed papers on the biology of wild parsnip indicate the ideal mowing time is very narrow and dependent on individual growing conditions, making mowing as a control measure difficult," explains Michelle Vala, Lanark County vegetation management intern. "This prompted

the county to develop an integrated vegetation management (IVM) plan and use a multifaceted approach to managing the wild parsnip."

Lanark County engaged two highly qualified experts at Cain Vegetation Inc. Integrated Pest Management Services to develop an IVM plan, which is successfully guiding the county not only with wild parsnip, but with the control of other noxious and invasive plants. Modifications are continually made to the IVM plan as the county becomes aware of improvements. The IVM plan outlines the best approach to manage the wild parsnip based on the level and extent of infestation. Heavy infestations throughout the county and a lack of success from mowing resulted in the county opting to use a selective herbicide to reduce the infestation.

In 2016, the roadside spraying program began with a broad application technique of herbicide to reduce the infestation. In 2017, a spot-spraying method was used that required a licensed applicator to walk the road allowance and spray individual wild parsnip

plants. The county treated more roads in 2017 than 2016, but spot spraying still reduced the amount of herbicide used by 55 per cent.

In 2018, the county increased the amount of roads spot sprayed even more, reducing the amount of herbicide used from 2016 to 2018 by 70 per cent. "We plan to continue the trend of decreasing herbicide application as the number of roads requiring herbicide treatment decreases," Vala explains.

Meanwhile, manual control measures have been increasing as the wild parsnip infestation levels return to a manageable level. Roads with sparse wild parsnip plants are dug up by hand and many patches are cut or mowed instead of sprayed.

"Lanark County is committed to eliminating herbicide usage as the infestations become manageable by using manual control measures, such as digging, cutting and mowing. This is outlined in the IVM plan," Vala says.

If you would like more information about Lanark County's IVM plan, please visit the county's website at http://www.lanarkcounty.ca/Page1875.aspx or call 613-267-1353.

County council approves OVRT agreement Lanark County council has approved bylaws authorizing two agreements related to leasing portions of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail: One with the Canadian Co-Operative Wool Growers Ltd. in Carleton Place and the other with the Town of Carleton Place.

With the purchase of the former CP Rail lands that now form the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT), the county is a co-

owner (with Renfrew County and Papineau-Cameron Township).

The town wishes to lease part of the property to construct a park that is compatible with the proposed use of the OVRT, which includes a portion of lands already leased by the CCWG. The new lease with the CCWG will eventually serve to clearly identify the lands to be leased, and establish terms and conditions during construction of the

park being developed by the town as part of the trail.

The agreement with the town similarly identifies the lands and conditions around its development, including provisions for activities to take place, such as commercial and festivals/ events.

County approves forest plan

Lanark Council approved the Community Forest FiveYear Operating Plan for 20182022, which is a working document that is part of the 20year 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 advisers 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 20132017 and provides a detailed schedule for the current pe-

riod. To ensure long-term forest and financial sustainability, there is a 20-year 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. For more information, contact Jonathan Allen, Facilities Coordinator, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 3170.

Speed limit reduction adopted 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 identified species at risk include Gray rat snakes and Blanding's turtles. The speed reduction will take place as soon as necessary signs are installed.

Little Stream Bakery opens dedicated gluten free facility, introduces new products

Check doors for proper insulation. Place your hand against a door from the inside. If it feels cooler than the inside walls, it might be time to install a door that’s better insulated.

Graham Beck opened Tay Valley Township's Little Stream Bakery in 1993, crafting certified organic sourdough using a traditional European fermentation method.

The bakery has grown in popularity not only for the distinct, complex flavour of their bread, but because they offer a number of gluten free products. In fact, Little Stream makes the only gluten free bread on the market, which is certified organic, made with whole grains, and uses a complete sourdough process for optimum bioavailability, digestion, and flavour.

As anybody with gluten intolerance knows, careful protocols are necessary in the manufacture of gluten free foods to eliminate allergens. For many years, Little Stream followed strict guidelines to separate their gluten and gluten free processes within the same fa-

cility to protect the health of their customers. In the autumn of 2017, the bakery expanded its operation, including establishing an entirely separate facility for their gluten free production.

In addition to the new dedicated gluten free bakery, Little Stream is introducing some new innovations in their products themselves. The gluten free loaves are shorter in length, but taller in height.

This change not only makes each slice a better shape to fit in your toaster, but it also improves the flavour of the hearty gluten free bread for your open face sandwiches. Little Stream has also developed a brand new moist, sustaining, flavourful grain-free protein loaf. Each loaf has seven grams of highly digestible protein, and just 19 grams of net carbohydrates per slice.

The new bread is primarily made of buckwheat from a local organic grower in Quebec, and also includes 10 per cent hemp hearts, 27 per cent sprouted chickpea flour, and nine per cent flax meal.

With 25 years in the baking business, Beck and the rest of the Little Stream crew continue to keep serving up fresh and delicious

loaves for all their customers, no matter their dietary restrictions.

Little Stream products can be found locally at Kudrinko's in Westport, The Garden Market in Smiths Falls, Foodsmiths in Perth, The Granary in Carleton Place, and Dandelion Natural Foods in Almonte.

Lanark County council supported a motion June 27 by the United Counties of Prescott Russell regarding municipalities that fail to pay for cross-border ambulance calls.

The motion calls for the City of Ottawa to enter into good-faith negotiations on crossborder ambulance compensation with neighbouring paramedic services, and for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to amend the Ambulance Act to require a cross-border ambulance compensation agreement.

PRESENTS

The motion is being circulated to Ottawa, neighbouring municipalities and the ministry.

The move comes as municipalities adjacent to Ottawa are facing increased provincial dispatch calls for ambulances to service needs in Ottawa, which increases strain on services to meet their own local response times and also has financial consequences.

Lanark Lodge funding highlighted at county council To prepare for the 2019 budget, Lanark County councillors received an update at the community services committee meeting earlier this month from treasurer Jennie Bingley about recent funding announcements for Lanark Lodge, the county's longterm care home.

Despite funding that results in an increase in direct care hours and a falls prevention initiative, as well as a pending application for Late Career Initiative Funding, there are two main issues that continue to put

pressure on the budget: the lack of provincial funding to cover existing staffing levels and to address the need to increase direct care staff hours to properly care for residents due to rising acuity (intensity of nursing care needed).

Bingley explained there are no minimum provincially mandated staff-toresident ratios with respect to direct care staffing, and levels have been largely unchanged for at least 10 years while acuity has steadily increased.

The increasing wor-

kload has negative effects on staffing, and retention is also an issue within the highly-competitive field.

Bingley predicted the levy to taxpayers will continue to grow at a higher rate than past years to cover provincial subsidy shortfalls for staffing.

"Management has done an excellent job to find costs savings to offset cost-of-living increases to wages and benefits," she said, adding it is unlikely this trend will be sustainable, and the result will be increased costs to taxpayers.

It may be sweltering outside, but it's Getting To Room Temperature at Full Circle Theatre when Robert Bockstael comes to town for three performances of playwright Arthur Milner's evocative oneman play, July 21 and 22.

Getting To Room Temperature is a 75-minute show that looks, quite frankly, at death, but does so in a way that has drawn rave reviews and comments like: "Generous, timely, intelligent, funny, heartfelt, and always engaging."

"Such an important topic. Robert Bockstael was brilliant."

"Timely, tough and sweet one-man show. (Robert Bockstael) is a treasure."

The play was inspired by the passing of Arthur Milner's mother, who asked her doctor "Can you help me to die?" The answer was "No. And, don't ask me again." Milner, with the quirky eye of an artist, immediately thought: "I can write something funny about that."

Getting To Room Temperature debuted at Ottawa's "undercurrents" festival in 2016, where it became the biggest seller in the festival's history. It has been on tour around the country since then. It's two-day, three-show stay in Perth comes hard on the heels of an East Coast tour.

Milner's credits include productions of his plays in Israel and the U.K., as well as a time as artistic direc-

tor of Ottawa's Great Canadian Theatre Company (GCTC). Robert Bockstael also has GCTC roots, but is best known for appearing in numerous television and movie productions, including roles in the CBC series Wind At My Back and North of 60.

With only three performances in Perth, the show will come and go in a hurry, so those looking for an entertaining, thought-provoking, and unique experience should contact Tickets Please in Perth (613 485 6434; tickets@ticketsplease.ca). Tickets are just $25.

In August, BarnDoor Productions long history with Shakespeare, which began with their first season and includes ten summers of outdoor productions, a number of Shakespearean shows at Full Circle Theatre and even The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), comes full circle with the debut of a new script based on a century old play about the life of The Bard of Avon.

Willm Shaksper takes some of the facts we know about Shakespeare and rolls them into "speculative history", a fictional account of some of the incidents that may have created Shakespeare, the man and how his life may have developed. It is at once funny, classical, modern, dramatic and, perhaps at the end, tragic - but it is a unique look at the man who probably had more to do with shaping the

Jeff Maguire writes about some up-close bird watching in his yard.

JEFF MAGUIRE Column I think most people have heard about the Killdeer who built a nest so close to the planned site of a music festival stage in Ottawa that experts had to be called in to safely move it. The story received worldwide attention a couple of weeks ago.

We were intrigued by the bird's nest story because it occurred at the same time as a similar situation was happening in our backyard.

Our bird story wasn't publicized - until now that is - but it captivated us, our children, grandchildren, neighbours and friends for several weeks.

Kathleen and I are bird lovers. We feed birds yearround and we observe them closely at every opportunity. Besides the usual Chickadees, Gold Finch, Blue Jays, Juncos, Nuthatches and various small song birds our feeders are also frequently visited by a pair of Cardinals. Male Cardi-

nals, with their brilliant red plumage, have to be one of the most striking members of the avian world.

We are fortunate to have many large trees in our expansive urban yard. Over the years the blue spruce in front of our home and the gorgeous red maple behind it, have been favourite places for birds to nest.

Our latest bird nest experience began innocently enough. Daughter Heather was walking around the backyard monitoring our grandchildren Lily and Max as they played outside one sunny Sunday afternoon when she found the nest. She is sharp-eyed because it was well hidden.

The nest was built quite low in the tree and on closer inspection we could see three tiny white eggs inside.

Much later, as darkness fell I went out to the tree and could clearly see mother bird perched atop her three eggs. She was hunched so low that I couldn't identify what type of bird she is. I'm an observer anyway, not an expert. I told Kathy I thought she was "some sort of wren or sparrow."

Finding the nest set off several weeks of bird watching for us. As I mentioned family members, friends and neighbours also became interested some of who emailed asking for updates.

With the help of our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc we were eventually able to identify the birds as red-eyed Vireos.

I have read much more about Vireos now. They are one of the most common songbirds in our region and although they are always heard they are seldom seen.

They are voracious eaters of bugs which make them beneficial to man.

Our Vireo nest watch became a ritual for us, several times a day. The mother sat on the eggs virtually around the clock until, about eight days after Heather first spotted the nest, the three eggs hatched.

My concern was that the low nest might attract predators although that didn't happen. As the chicks grew they barely fit the tiny nest and my next worry was that one would be pushed out.

Sadly that did happen and I had the task of burying one of the tiny birds.

We never saw the others leave the nest but they grew to the point that we are fairly confident they did take flight.

Even though one of "our chicks" fell victim to the cruelty of nature, Kathy and I feel fortunate to have witnessed the beginning of the life cycle for two others.

Not everyone has that kind of good fortune. For bird lovers like us it was a privilege!

First time donating blood wasn’t so bad, writes Hollie Pratt Admittedly, I can be squeamish when it comes to bodily fluids. I have trouble with gory movies and cleaning up dog vomit. If one of my kids is bleeding from a laceration much deeper than a paper cut, I'm known to get light-headed and yell for my husband to come administer the Band-Aid. As a result, I always shied away from blood donation.

Perhaps because I've worked for community newspapers for most of my career and have written many stories about why donating blood is important, I've always felt a pang of guilt in the back of my mind over my own inaction on this front.

So when my colleague Laurie Weir invited me to come along with her to the July 4 blood donation clinic at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club, I thought to myself: Why not? After all, in the last six years I've given birth to two children and endured all the poking, prodding, excruciating pain and general lowering of the personal dignity bar that went along with it. I haven't had a new tattoo or piercing in the last three months. I'm an overall healthy person and, by some miracle, given that I live in a house with a two-year-old and a six-year-old, was completely virus free at that moment.

So I went online to the Canadian Blood Services website, created an account and made an appointment for the local clinic. After some simple paper work, having my iron levels checked and sign-

HOLLIE PRATT Column ing a form in which I swore that I did not have any disease, etc. that would render me unable to donate, I was seated in a surprisingly comfortable chair having a pint of blood pumped out of me.

Overall, it was a lovely experience. The blood clinic employees were extremely kind and attentive, perhaps partly due to the sticker they gave me that said "be nice to me, I'm new." At the end, they gave me a blood dropshaped pin with a "1" on it to signify my first donation, and informed me that the blood I had just given would save three lives. It was truly an amazing feeling.

If there's anyone out there like me who is able to donate but hesitant due to nervousness, take it from one who's been there: It's really not so bad. Plus, you get doughnuts after, and who can resist doughnuts?

The next blood donation clinic in Smiths Falls is on Oct. 3 at the Civitan Club.

Other area clinics coming up include: • July 12 at St. James Anglican Church in Carleton Place (in honour of Kristine Maclaren) • July 26 at Holy Spirit Parish in Carleton Place • July 30 at the Perth Civitan Club • Aug. 2 at the North Grenville municipal centre – Hollie Pratt is Metroland East’s digital editor.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Earning and keeping the public's trust Dear Editor, Recently Rideau Lakes Council voted to purchase the Gallagher House in Portland, and I voted against it because I feel council and staff did not do their due diligence.

I asked for an appraisal prior to the purchase but it was not done. I still don't know why.

After learning the deficit was kept from the majority of council for almost a year and having to hire an Ombudsman to investigate it I thought we had all learned our lesson.

When council and staff think it is a good idea to purchase a property for $103,000 more than the MPAC value, it makes me question who decided

that an appraisal was not needed. The property is valued at $262,000 and we purchased it for $365,000.

This is reckless over spending.

We just lived through a year of the public questioning how a handful of people were making decisions without all the information. This is how we lost and continue to lose the public's trust. In this upcoming election when candidates throw around words like accountability and transparency, make sure they understand what that means.

Beer was welcomed after fighting fire Dear Editor,

In 1972 I was accepted into the OWFC Fire Department. As a new recruit I was told that there was a beer fridge at the station with beer available to all.

Apparently the beer fridge has been at the fire station for as long as anyone can remember without any problems.

I did not join the fire department to drink beer.

I joined to put out fires and to save lives to serve my community - the Town of Carleton Place.

Yes we did have parties on special occasions which our wives attended as well. But if a fire call came in during one of these events we were always assessed by the chief or someone else of authority and were given instructions of who could and couldn't attend the

fire.

After fighting a fire for five or six hours a cold beer was a welcome sight to help us unwind before going home after a tragedy.

A big thanks to Mayor Louis Antonakos for sticking up for the firemen: past, present and future.

Sincerely, Wm Bruce Stewart Carleton Place

Studio Theatre announces its upcoming season of plays

Just when you thought you'd never stop humming the tunes from The Studio Theatre's megahit Sister Act, The Musical, along comes a brand new season of plays to get your heart racing.

The shows at Perth's community theatre just keep getting better. And this year, for as little as $90 you can enjoy six fantastic live stage plays - that's six great reasons to get out of the house, join friends for dinner, and have an amazing theatre experience right here in Perth.

Our 2018/2019 season begins Oct. 11, 2018. Here's what you can look forward to: Queen Milli Of Galt by Gary Kirkham. Oct. 11 - 21, 2018 In 1972, the Duke of Windsor (Edward VIII) dies in exile at the age of 78. Two weeks later, in Canada, an 80 year-old woman from a small town named Galt has her tombstone engraved, claiming to be the duke's wife. A young journalist appears at her door, eager for answers. Flashback to 1919 for an extraordinary romantic comedy about secrets and unexpected love.

The Marvelous Wonderettes - Dream On by Roger Bean. Nov. 15 - 25, 2018 Directed by C. Lee Bates, the phenomenal show The Marvelous Wonderettes blew the doors off the Studio Theatre this past year.

If you missed it, don't worry

- here's the sequel! In The Marvelous Wonderettes Dream On the girls are back at Springfield High, singing their way through the greatest hits of the 60s and 70s, the soundtrack of our lives, performed with that Marvelous Wonderettes spin!

The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble by Beth Graham. Jan. 17 - 27, 2019 Iris Trimble may very well fly off the face of the earth if she doesn't hang on to the kitchen counter. At least that's how she feels after her mother, Bernice, a lively, recently widowed fifty-nine-year-old breaks the news that she has Alzheimer's. Iris and her siblings each have their own ways of dealing with the news, while Bernice, as vivacious as ever, is ready to finally put herself first. Exceptionally well written, The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble is intense, poignant, and wonderfully nuanced.

Alone Together Again

by Lawrence Roman. Feb. 21 - March 3, 2019 In this hilarious Broadway comedy, mom and dad have spent the last 30 years raising three active sons.

They've so looked forward to the peace, the quiet and the privacy of an empty nest, and it's finally happened! Peace? Quiet? Not for long. The empty nest fills up again with the unexpected arrival of their parents, each with their

own comic problems.

Alone Together Again is clever, witty, and wise.

Hamish by Michael Grant. April 4 - 14, 2019 Hamish is a heartwarming comedy about family and love. Kelli books a trip for her overworked husband and herself to his ancestors' former homestead in the Scottish Highlands.

She is planning to announce some big news, but something even bigger is afoot as they discover a deceased ancestor has not yet quite left home. With the help of a bumbling local, this motley - and ghostly gang sets out to save the homestead from a rival clan and preserve the family name.

The Ladies Foursome by Norm Foster. May 30 - June 9, 2019 The day after their friend Catherine's funeral, Margot, Tate, and Connie gather for a round of golf in honour of their recently departed fourth. At the golf course they are joined by another woman, an old friend of Catherine's they'd never met. Over the course of eighteen holes - played in real time - secrets and confessions unravel as the women discuss love, sex, children, and everything in between. The Ladies Foursome is Norm Foster at his very best.

It's going to be an amazing year of shows! Studio Theatre season passes are on sale now at Tickets

Final week of rediscovered comic gem at Classic Theatre Festival

The Classic Theatre Festival's ninth summer season has thus far been marked by delighted audiences and pleased theatre reviewers responding to the rediscovered comic gem, John Van Druten's There's Always Juliet.

Playing at its wheelchairaccessible, air-conditioned 54 Beckwith St. E. venue, the play embodies much of what makes unique the festival's mandate to produce hits from the golden age of Broadway and the London Stage.

"We pick plays that bring back fond memories and sensations, like the feeling you get when you watch the

film It's A Wonderful Life every December with your friends and family, or you hum along to a wonderful Ella Fitzgerald song," says artistic producer and director Laurel Smith.

There's Always Juliet asks whether love at first sight truly exists. Sparks fly after a British woman meets an American man at a London tea party, but how far will things go in this charming, cross-border romantic comedy set in 1927 London, England?

There's Always Juliet features an ensemble of festival veterans including Scott Clarkson, who returns for his eighth season after a star

turn in last year's audience favourite, Same Time, Next Year; festival newcomer Victoria Houser, a Toronto actor and singer originally from Halifax; Catherine Bruce (last seen here in the award-winning Arms and the Man); and Fraser Elsdon (from the Festival's An Inspector Calls and Candida).

The play has been received warmly by audiences as well as the Capital Critics Circle, a prestigious group of veteran theatre reviewers who have praised everything from Renate Seiler's costumes and Laurel Smith's direction to the sets of Roger Schultz and the chemistry between the per-

formers on stage. Theatre critic Iris Winston writes the play is "a very pleasant evening's entertainment, akin to reading a light romantic novel on a sunny beach."

Critic Jamie Portman agrees, noting, "Houser seizes on the script's gentle wit and makes the most of it.

And she's delightful in conveying the volatile emotions of a young woman who can sometimes be as exasperating as she is lovable. Meanwhile, Clarkson makes his own sweet-natured contribution to the proceedings with his portrayal of a guy who really does believe in love at first sight."

Elizabeth Holmes We would like to congratulate Elizabeth on her recent graduation from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. Elizabeth graduated with distinction, receiving a BA-Advanced Major in Anthropology and minor in Development Studies. On behalf of her academic department, Elizabeth was also inducted as part of her graduating classâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Circle of Young Alumni. In the fall, Elizabeth will begin her Graduate Studies at the University of Guelph within the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. The program is titled Public Issues Anthropology, which aims at addressing major public and social issues of our time. Through this academic focus, Elizabeth hopes to conduct research that seeks to address these issues in efforts to make our world a better, healthier, more equitable place to live. We are so proud of all your hard work, dedication and accomplishments and are very excited to see what the next chapter holds.

The summer also features two more classics on the main stage - the motherdaughter conflict and gradual reveal of a family secret in Mrs. Warren's Profession, opening July 19, and the gripping tale of an unsolved murder, Angel Street (a.k.a.

Featured cats Hi! My name is Bubbles.

Do not let my serious demeanour fool you! I love to play and can hardly wait to get started with my new family. I would really love a warm welcoming home with young or old people. I am good with anything. I'm a cuddly fellow who loves being pet and having great play session with you. Are we a match for one another? Come and meet me today! I am chilling out at LAWS. I am Sardine and was saved from the streets in Carleton Place. I'm confident and self-assured. As you will see by the swagger in my step and my elevated unique tail, I know that I'm the leader of the pack. I do have a friendly demeanour and love to play. If you'd offer me a soft pillow, yum-

mie food, lots of cuddles and a safe haven, I'll be yours.

Please meet me at LAWS. I am Boots and just two years old. I am a bit of everything you'd expect from a kitty. I enjoy a bit of quiet time, but I am no couch potato. I enjoy my cat naps and I like affection, but I am content to entertain myself until you're ready for me to warm your lap. I guess I am just a little bit of all good things wrapped up in a gorgeous fur coat that needs regular grooming to keep me looking pretty.

Meet Star, who is ready for showtime and action.

Star has a great personality. She is confident, self-assured and very affectionate. If you've got a lot of love and attention to give, and you're looking for a cat with loads of wonderful temperament, she just might be the purrfect match for you!

Please meet Star at LAWS. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or check out our website at lanarkanimals.ca.

Steep price of $5 for new glasses too much for Father

MARY COOK Column

Mother said it looked very professional. Father said it looked like it should have a dollar sign on it too.

Mother ignored him.

We followed Mother and Father up the narrow stairs to a landing where there were two doors. One was just an ordinary door, but the other one had a frosted glass in it, and a sign that said "Please Walk In", with the doctor's name and a lot of initials after it.

Well, that's when all hell broke loose! The doctor, a tall thin man with glasses which I was pretty sure he made himself, looked at the seven of us, and it was like someone had put on a light bulb over his head! He recognized Father at first glance, grabbed his suit jacket which was on the back of his chair, said he was sorry but he had an important appointment and asked us to make our own way out. He beat us to the door and left us standing on the landing.

We made it to the dime store, Father headed right for the counter with the 65-cent glasses, tried on a few pairs, read the chart, handed the clerk some coins, she put the glasses in a hard blue case, Father jammed it into his pants pocket, and we were back on the farm at Northcote in time for supper.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your head is in the stars and your feet are on the ground, but this outlook is working for you. Just do not live in fantasy land too long.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, just when you thought a relationship had gone as far as it could go, things start to change this week. Plenty of excitement is coming your way.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You might get word of something exciting or new coming your way, Gemini. A chance to socialize with others or even a job opportunity may be on the horizon. Keep an eye out.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This is a week for having fun and letting loose, Cancer.

These may be things you haven’t done in some time and you can certainly use a break from the norm.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You may be reticent to go back to work, especially if you are coming off of an extended vacation, Leo. But putting off the inevitable will only make the transition tougher.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, there may be some buzz surrounding your social life this week if you are game for taking chances. It may be time to pursue a burgeoning friendship.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Are you ready for a well-calculated risk, Libra? If so, then a startup venture, sizable investment or converting a hobby into a career could be the way to go.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You can’t lie to yourself, Scorpio, so own up to anything that needs improving. Take some time for some serious self-reflection and devise a plan to fix things.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Love and support are all around you this week, Sagittarius. This support couldn’t come soon enough. Some extra support will help you overcome an obstacle.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, there is strength in numbers. If you can rally together a team, you can accomplish much of your to-do list for the week in half of the time.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Thoughts about how you can work less but earn more may have been swirling through your mind, Aquarius.

Write down your plan and determine how to make it happen.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Truth may be stranger than fiction this week, Pisces.

Before you believe that something is false, gather all the facts.

There was no doubt about it. Something had to be done about Father's eyes. He held the Renfrew Mercury two feet away from his face, and still couldn't see the printing.

He had to ask someone what time it was on the gingerbread clock hanging on the kitchen wall in front of him.

So Mother insisted it was time he went in to see the eye doctor in Renfrew.

Father insisted there wasn't a thing wrong with his eyes, but Mother pointed out that he had just been looking at the paper upside down.

We had gone through this before with disastrous results, with Father storming out of the eye doctor's office and heading right for the dime store where he got a pair of glasses for 65 cents.

They were no longer doing the job. Father rubbed them with his red handkerchief, spit on them, tried them on again, and it was plain to see, the 65cent glasses were useless.

I could remember the trip into the eye doctor's that Saturday a while ago, and I silently prayed Father wouldn't cause an-

other scene like he did that day. It was all because the eye doctor asked for $2 before he even began examining Father's eyes, and then told him that when the new ones were ready, he'd have to cough up another $3.

Well, that's all it took for Father to storm out of the office telling everyone within earshot how you could buy a good heifer for $5, and it would be a frosty day in July before he'd be spending two dollars to have his eyes examined, and another three dollars to get his glasses. No siree!!!

Well, that was months ago, and now we were headed back to the same eye doctor, and unless Father had a change of heart, I couldn't imagine there would be much difference in his feelings about paying $5 for a pair of glasses.

Father lamented all the way into Renfrew. We five children were crammed into the car like sardines in a tin can, and the heat of the summer day did little for our dispositions. Emerson kept hitting Earl on the arm, and Audrey said she wished she had stayed home. But Mother said the trip was urgent ... Father simply could not go on any longer with these dime store glasses. It was time he had a professional test his eyes, and that it would be money well spent. Father was chewing on his pipe which wasn't a good sign.

The Model T was steered into a spot on Raglan Street in front of the building, where there was a store with the office of the eye doctor on the floor above. A little brass plate on the outside wall had the doctor's name on it, with an arrow pointing to the door that led upstairs.

Though Ant-Man and the

MARK HASKINS Column Wasp isn't your typical second film.

Scott (Paul Rudd) tries to make the right choices, but it always seems to backfire. When he sided with Captain America during Civil War he ended up under house arrest for two years. Worse it forced Hank (Michael Douglas) and Hope (Evangeline Lilly) to go into hiding. Need-

less to say they haven't spoken much to Scott.

With three more days to go on his sentence Scott has a strange dream about Hank's wife, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), in the quantum realm. He calls Hank and leaves a message, but as he says it out loud it sounds ridiculous though maybe not.

While on the run from the FBI Hank and Hope have been working on a way to get to the quantum realm to save Janet. They believe that Scott's dream is the key to finding her and that Janet is using Scott to send them a message. Scott is more than willing to help and to make up for past mistakes, but things are never that easy.

Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins), a criminal who specializes in technology, wants whatever Hank is working on. Then there's the mysterious Ghost (Hanna John-Kamen). She's a trained assassin with the power to phase through walls, and she wants Hank's tech for herself.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is everything you could hope for in a sequel. Most sequels fall short because they end up being a pale imitation of the original. That isn't the case with Ant-Man and the Wasp. You still have the same incredible effects, and mind blowing scenes with things shrinking and becoming huge. You have that same humour, the brilliant dialogue and character in-

teractions. You also get a brand new story. It's not the same film over again, it's the next exciting chapter.

These characters aren't the same either. They've grown and changed with the history of the previous chapters behind them.

This is how you do a sequel.

A good sequel needs its returning cast, but it also needs the right new faces.

Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, Abby Ryder Forston are great. Michael Pena is so funny it hurts. Michael Douglas is the perfect Hank Pym, but Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet is inspired.

Laurence Fishburne also joins the fun as a rival scientist, but my favourite new face is Hannah John-

Kamen. An interesting villain makes for an interesting story, and Ghost is very interesting.

Of course you have to have your heroes. Paul Rudd is the classic everyman hero, and Evangeline Lilly looks like she was born to be an Avenger.

While they look great in the suits, it's them together that make the film so good.

They're the perfect superhero team.

Ant-Man and the Wasp isn't just a sequel. It's the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Lyle Dillabough writes about an upcoming event in Carleton Place

LYLE DILLABOUGH Column Mark Thursday, July 19 on your calendar.

That evening a free concert and festive celebration will take place at the Riverside Park in Carleton Place, in front of the gazebo.

The evening has been

dubbed Free Concert in the Park, Mississippi Melodies & Festive Fun and hopefully will be a prelude to other things of this nature to happen more frequently here in the future.

On stage will be musical performances along with "extra attractions" including the return of certain "historical" personalities, plus displays, games, free draws and more.

The idea is to have a community-style celebration that is both accessible and open to all, plus fun, and hopefully entertaining as well. With next year being the 200th anniversary

of the town perhaps a bit of inspiration from this event may spread forth and similar concepts may become planted in the minds of future organizers.

Appearing on stage will be Pat and Sarah Willbond along with special guest, Mike Maher.

Pat Willbond is well known in the area for the 40 plus year career he has enjoyed as both a solo performer and as the frontman for the Diplomats and the Retro Rockers. His daughter Sarah has a remarkable voice and the dad and daughter duo are sure to please one and all.

Almonte's Mike Maher is a talented, versatile, energetic performer who is known for his solo performances as well as appearing with a variety of groups (Starfire, etc.) and in duos with myself.

He and his wife Donna used to own and operate the Page & Turner's Book Store that was once located on Bridge Street back in the mid 2000s.

Along with the musical performances, a spectacle featuring the return of certain historical personalities (from Carleton Place's rich colourful past) will take place during the show

as some excited members of the community will be getting dressed up in period costumes and bringing to life the connection to other days and adding even more fun to the evening. (Be sure to bring your camera for photos and selfies with the characters.)

There will also be some displays, games for kids (of all ages) and some free draws to boot.

The event is being presented by Lyle Dillabough Productions, the Town of Carleton Place parks and recreation department, Deputy Mayor Jerry

Flynn (private contribution), Temptations Variety & Original Ice Cream (117 Bridge St.) and Downtown Carleton Place.

A number of special guest hosts will be on hand and hopefully you will be there too.

For as it is written on the poster: "Bring along a chair, blanket, friend and be sure to pray it won't rain!"

COMMUNITY

Carleton Place and area mourn enormous loss of Kristine Maclaren TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place is mourning the loss of one of its own - a caring, community-minded woman who touched so many lives.

Kristine Maclaren, 46, passed away on Thursday, July 5 at the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. Loved ones were by her side.

Kristine was diagnosed in May 2017 with leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer originating from smooth muscle. Last, June, she underwent a round of pre-operative chemotherapy before major surgery to remove an extremely aggressive tumour from her

abdomen.

A music and arts teacher for more than two decades, Kristine most recently taught at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI), and she was a founding member and the musical director of the Carleton Place Town Singers.

Owing to her love of music and her passion for teaching, Kristine was also involved with the Mississippi Mudds theatre group and The Redhawk Rhythmic glee club.

"She drew the best out of everyone who knew her," an emotional Jan Ferguson told the Canadian Gazette.

Ferguson established the Mississippi Mudds in

1973.

"Kristine directed, sang on stage and acted...she was brilliant," Ferguson said. "She influenced a lot of people."

Peter Brown, an accompanist with the Carleton Place Town Singers, considered Kristine to be a very good friend.

"She leaves a big hole in our choir as well as the other groups she was involved with," he said. "Kristine had a big impact on so many people...her students just loved her."

Kristine directed three high school musicals, asking Brown to help out and play the piano. The duo also worked closely by way of the Mississippi Mudds.

Highway 15 North, Smiths Falls 1-800-267-9256 • www.rallyhonda.com

S E G G I OUR B

F O T N T EVE

Brown served as pianist, bandleader and arranger with the theatre group.

"I will always remember her musical talent," he said. "She took the amateur choir...growing it from 40 to 100 people while she was director, making it soar."

Brown added: "Kristine gave everything she had, always trying to do things for other people."

As a political newbie, Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn first met Kristine when she invited him to MC a Carleton Place Town Singer's Christmas concert.

"I knew her to be a dynamic, passionate and musically talented individual who inspired those she mentored and directed to reach levels of excellence they never knew existed within them," he said.

"Kristine has definitely left her mark on Carleton Place!"

"My thoughts and prayers are with her family," Flynn added.

"A number of floats will be sporting Union Jack and Canadian flags," Bradley said. "We also try to have Ontario's flag ... we like to have all three."

Montague's Orange Lodge will have a small float and band in the parade, which goes rain or shine. The Loyal True Blue Association, a separate branch of the Orange Order, will also participate.

Over the years, the Orange Order has inspired the formation of the Ladies Orange Benevolent Association, Orange Young Britons, Royal Black Preceptory and Junior Orange Lodge.

The Orange Order's mission is Working together for the betterment of family, community and country. It stands for democratic government, promotion and maintaining the protestant faith, preserving the English language, the public school concept, maintaining the monarchy, a united Canada and supremacy of law.

The Glorious Twelfth is a significant date in the Orange Order calendar, marking the victory of Protestant King William of Orange over Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

The Orange Order is a Protestant organization based predominantly in Northern Ireland and Scotland, though it has lodges throughout Canada and the United States. In Northern Ireland in 1795 the first Orange Lodge was established, with the date of the society's first general meeting recorded as July 12, 1796.

On July 12, approximately 30 Orange Lodges will gather at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) in Carleton Place to celebrate the Battle of the Boyne's 328th anniversary.

Activities include a service of worship at 3 p.m., conducted by Rev. Dr. Ron Hunt of St. Bede's Anglican Church in Nolan's Corners.

A roast beef dinner follows at 4:30 p.m.

Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn will bring greetings from the town.

"Jerry has done this for the last couple of years," Kevin Bradley told the Canadian Gazette.

Bradley is the immediate past master Carleton Place's Orange Lodge (No. 48), which folded in 2015 after celebrating its 185th anniversary.

Years ago, more than a couple dozen Orange Lodges operated in Lanark County. Today, there are two: Smiths Falls (No. 88) and Montague (No. 512).

"I now belong to Montague's Orange Lodge," Bradley said.

There is a parade on Thursday, which begins at 7 p.m., followed by a dance at 8 p.m.

"Everyone is welcome to attend the dinner and dance," Bradley stated.

While the dance is free, the cost of the roast beef meal is $20 for adults and $17 for children 12 and under. People can pay at the door.

Bradley stressed the arena is accessible and airconditioned, and there is plenty of parking The parade forms in the arena's parking lot at 6:30 p.m. From there, it travels down Neelin Street, turning right onto Lake Avenue East. Participants march

"I can picture Coun.

Black (Doug Black) and myself there, sitting and playing checkers all afternoon," Reynolds joked.

Mayor Louis Antonakos noted the structure is fully accessible, has adequate parking, is in the downtown corridor and is close to the proposed Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT).

"You could not pick a better building," he said.

"I think it is a good idea ... we should absolutely explore this."

Currently, a large portion of the train station, a municipally owned property, is vacant; however, the town's chief administrative officer, Diane Smithson, has received a couple of inquiries recently about leasing space within the building.

"Over the years we have had several tenants," Fritz noted.

Recently, the main tenant - the Ginger Café - left the building. Previously, the space was home to the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre. Originally, the train station was refurbished to house part of the town's daycare - prior to the Carambeck Community Centre and Francis Street facilities.

"It is one of the last remaining in the Ottawa Valley, in terms of train stations," Fritz noted.

"We are quite fortunate it has been refurbished and is functional."

She added: "Places like Arnprior, Renfrew and Pembroke no longer have stations, so I think ours is a great community asset."

A centre for seniors, Flynn stressed, could be very beneficial to the town, a friendly and stimulating place, offering leisure activities and lifestyle programs tailored to all areas of interest.

There is a single tenant in the old train station at this time ..."I do not think we need to disrupt them," the deputy mayor said. "If they choose, I would like to see them stay ... they provide the town with a bit of revenue."

Former chief administrative officer Paul Knowles said on more than one occasion the town is not in the landlord business, especially when it came to the old train station.

"I agree to a certain extent, but I was never in support of us getting rid of the building, due to its historic nature," Fritz stated. "I believe there is a way where we can find a balance - a seniors centre and a tenant to make it financially viable."

"It is definitely worth

A seniors' centre could be on the horizon for Carleton Place, located in the former Canadian Pacific Railway station on Coleman Street. A report from town staff will be prepared and presented at the next policy review meeting. exploring this option," she added, and "seniors centres in other communities are more than a gathering place."

The OVRT in Carleton Place - labelled Carleton Junction - encompasses the area between Coleman and Moore streets. A number of parkland projects are planned for the space, including activities for younger people.

"We also need to look at our senior population," Fritz said. "Our senior population is getting younger, maybe not in age, but in terms of activities."

"Here, here!" Black exclaimed.

"I think we need to focus on providing things for them, and if this (seniors centre) will make us a leader like Carleton Junction has, it is a great thing to look at," Fritz stated.

Coun. Sean Redmond has had discussions in the past with Reynolds regarding a seniors centre in Carleton Place.

"While we are looking at this, there is one other thing I would like to propose," he said.

With the Carleton Place & District Hospital Foundation ramping up its fundraising activities this fall and next spring for the expansion of the hospital's emergency department with a 9,000square-foot addition, "I am wondering if we can take a look at putting a little space aside for the foundation," Redmond said.

The current foundation area at the hospital is very small, unable to ac-

commodate more people.

A report from staff on the development of a seniors centre in the former train station will be prepared and presented at the next policy review meeting.

"My only comment for staff as they go through this ... I expect there would have been some revenue from the building built into our 2018 budget," Antonakos said.

"With six months remaining and no revenue, what does it mean for the budget?"

Coun. Brian Doucett was absent with regrets.

Virtual Dementia Tour offered at Carleton Place Terrace TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com It was an opportunity to experience the world of someone with dementia.

On June 28, Carleton Place Terrace hosted the Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT), an Alzheimer's and related dementias sensitivity training program of Second Wind Dreams, a non-profit corporation based in Roswell, Georgia.

Dementia is not an exact disease. It is a term used to describe a group of symptoms associated with dete-

rioration in memory or other thinking skills. The symptoms are severe enough to lessen a person's ability to perform everyday activities.

A total 126 people completed the VDT at Carleton Place Terrace: family members, caregivers, firefighters, paramedics, bylaw officers, hospital staff, business professionals and more.

"Dementia is fastly growing in our area," Liz Taylor told the Canadian Gazette.

Taylor is the communi-

ty relations co-ordinator at Carleton Place Terrace.

She explained, "The purpose of the tour was to educate the community on the importance of Alzheimer's and dementia awareness...understand the physical and mental challenges those with dementia face."

Local resident Mel Chase has an aunt with dementia who is living at Carleton Place Terrace.

She just moved in.

"I came today with my wife," he said. "We wanted to learn what her life is li-

ke...have a better understanding of what is going on."

Chase described some of the tasks he was asked to perform during the VDT. In addition to glasses, he wore headphones and big oven mitts with certain fingers sewn together. Special insoles were also placed in his shoes.

"Through the headphones I heard what sounded like four radio stations all at once," he explained. "I also heard a TV, a door slam and a siren."

Chase was asked to set a

table for four, find batteries and put them in a flashlight and locate a total of 17 cents and put it in his pocket.

"I also had to find a pen and some paper and write a list of seven grocery items," he continued. "I could not feel anything."

Before beginning, "I was pretty secure in my mind; however, I do not think I accomplished one task successfully," Chase admitted.

Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn was the lone council member to participate in the VDT.

"Before the tour I had no idea what my mom was going through as she suffered from the disease that takes so many loved ones from us," he said.

Flynn added: "The tour leaves one with a great deal of insight and understanding as to the extent of suffering those with dementia endure. “ It also teaches us how to interact with and comfort those inflicted with this debilitating disease."

Taylor would like to see the VDT return to Carleton Place Terrace in the future.

Carleton Place Fishing Derby has been revived with over 150 kids TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

It's what summer is all about.

Kids running down the park with a bucket full of fish begging them to be measured, even the smallest one.

There were parents reliving their childhood and passing on fishing traditions to their kids.

The revived Carleton Place Kids Fishing Derby on July 7 welcomed more than 150 kids to Riverside Park.

The Town of Carleton Place, Giant Tiger, Hanks Tire, Canadian Tire, Lanark County Crime Stoppers and MCP Group of Companies (Motion Printing) sponsored the event, and it was part of Ontario's free fishing week from June 30 to July 8.

The fishing derby was geared toward youth ages three to 16, and everyone went home with a prize and a hotdog lunch.

Noah Crampton caught the biggest fish and got to take home a beautiful trophy.

The revived Carleton Place Kids Fishing Derby on July 7 welcomed more than 150 kids to Riverside Park. Above, Dave and Grayson Schroeder, father and son, found a spot away from the crowds to fish.

Caring, community-minded woman touched many lives l Continued from page 2

Henderson.

On Kristine's Facebook page, Michelle commented: "In the past few days, she had a chance to see, email and speak to many friends and family, and it was so very touching to see the impact she has had (on people) and to feel everyone's love for her."

Former student Bailey Bisaillon called Kristine "one of the teachers at SFDCI who made me

feel like SFDCI was my home."

"She always had a smile on her face, and she made you feel like you were one of her own kids," Bisaillon said. "When you stepped foot into the music room, if you were having a rough day, your mood got honestly better just by seeing her."

Kristine was one of the main reasons Bisaillon and so many other students got involved in singing. One of the songs she always taught to her students who

lovingly referred to her as Kmac was Why We Sing.

"This was pretty much her anthem," Bisaillon said.

Kristine changed Bisaillon's life..."I owe all my musical abilities to her...she is why others and I sing."

"I was honestly shocked when I heard she passed away," the former student said.

Kristine's courage throughout her cancer battle is just one reason why a number of people are plan-

www.twp.beckwith.on.ca

ning on attending a blood donor clinic in her honour on July 12. Another reason: during Kristine's surgery in August 2017, a major vein was cut, with 30 units of blood required for her survival. Since the surgery, Kristine received eight additional units of blood.

The Maclaren and Flaherty families thank the community for its continued love and support through this very difficult time.

People are invited to post their thoughts and memories about Kristine at https://kristinesmemories.wordpress.com, or send them to kmacsmemories@gmail.com and they will be posted.

Good friend Jennifer Paulin created the site. She wrote: "(Kristine) was a kind, loving person who never judged me and always supported and encouraged me when needed. I will carry her on forever in my heart."

A funeral service to honour Kristine takes place on Saturday July 21 at 11 a.m., held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Carleton Place.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Coalition for Music Education or the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital.

A blood donor clinic will be held in Carleton Place on July 12 in honour of the late Kristine Maclaren. The clinic runs from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at St. James Anglican Church, located at 225 Edmund St. Kristine passed away on July 5 at the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. She was the wife of Ray (Maclaren), owner of the local Giant Tiger, and the devoted mother of Connor and Brendan (Maclaren). A music and arts teacher for more than two decades, Kristine most recently taught at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, and she was a founding member and the musical director of the Carleton

Place Town Singers.

In May 2017, Kristine was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer originating from smooth muscle. A month later, she underwent a round of pre-operative chemotherapy before major surgery in August to remove an extremely aggressive tumour from her abdomen. During surgery a major vein was cut, with 30 units of blood required for her survival. After surgery, Kristine received eight additional units of blood.

Textile museum in Almonte hosts puppet extravaganza Opening on July 14 and running until Sept. 22, Noreen Young: A Puppet Retrospective is a summer must-see event for the whole family. Most of the 150 puppets featured have appeared on television, on stage and in video productions. Some have worked very hard in long-running children's programs. There are also coconuts and sheep waiting for you to animate them on a puppet stage, as well as "Humanettes" that need heads - yours!

Known across Canada for her talent as a puppeteer and puppet creator, Noreen Young is a local

treasure. In 1995, she was awarded the Order of Canada for her contribution to puppetry and children's television. Two pivotal characters bookended her extraordinary career: Mrs. Gertrude Diddle from High Diddle Day, a CBC program that ran from 1967 to 1976, and Gloria Gopher one of the lead characters in Under the Umbrella Tree that ran for 10 years on CBC, the Disney Channel and Canal Famille.

Both were created, manipulated and voiced by Young. She was also the designer, writer and ultimately executive producer of Un-

der the Umbrella Tree.

Her signature technique of translating her skill as a sculptor into flexible, expressive rubber faces has created hundreds of puppet look-alikes of well-known people such as Peter Mansbridge and Don Cherry, as well as caricatures of local Almonte personalities. Many of them are included in the exhibit.

As artistic director for Almonte's annual Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival, which ran from 2005 to 2016, Young brought puppet troupes from across Canada and around

the world to showcase their talents. And she is still busy creating. Young was recently asked to design and build 10 puppets for an adult puppet opera. They will be part of Ottawa's Music and Beyond series for 2018. You can see them in the exhibit.

MVTM executive director/curator Michael Rikley-Lancaster has scheduled three professional puppet shows and six puppet workshops during the exhibition.

For dates and details, visit www.MVTM.ca.

The MVTM is located at 3 Rosamond St. E. in Almonte. For

Planned construction on the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) in Mississippi Mills for 2018 has begun.

Local residents will soon start to see progress and work completed. In particular, two bridges in the Almonte ward will be getting a facelift this summer - the old railway brid-

ges that cross the Mississippi River and Little Bridge Street.

After listening to residents regarding the design of the bridge and in consultation with the engineers and Lanark County, Mississippi Mills council approved the installation of galvanized steel railings for these two bridges as

they will be in keeping with the look and feel of Almonte as well as other trails in the area.

Construction of the OVRT will be undertaken over the next few years. As such, residents will soon be able to take advantage of the multi-use trail that is almost 300 kilometres in length, experiencing the

beauty of the municipality.

For safety reasons, while construction is ongoing, users are asked to stay off of the closed sections of the trail.

The 296-kilometre OVRT is a multi-use corridor that stretches from Smiths Falls to Mattawa, passing through Lanark County, Renfrew County

There are live musical performances from a variety of artists and bands, as well as shows such as Friday night's Classic Championship Wrestling and Sunday afternoon's demolition derby. Saturday night's headliner at the grandstand is Gail Gavan and Valley Friends. Gavan entertains with her stories and songs, which feature country and folk.

The weekend event also features a petting zoo, pony rides, kids games, vendors and educational displays.

DEATH NOTICE PAULINE LORANA MCCRUM (Bishop) February 15, 1923 July 2, 2018

“Think of me as being on a new and wonderful adventure.”

Pauline McCrum, June 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Pauline McCrum (nee Bishop).

Pauline was the daughter of Geraldine and Whitfield Bishop and grew up in Chipman N.B. with four siblings (the late Thyra Gander (Bob) the late Vida Maxwell (Byron) as well as surviving sister Myrna Till (Brian) and brother Raymond Bishop (Marita). After high school she attended teachers college in Fredricton N.B. and her first school was a one room school house. In 1944 she became a teacher at the school in MacAdam N.B., where she met Robert P McCrum. They married in June 1946 and after a short time in Massachusetts, came back to N.B and eventually ended up in Smiths Falls Ont., where they raised their five children. Pauline went back to teaching in the 60’s. First as a supply teacher and later accepted positions at Queen Elizabeth school in Perth and Chimo School in Smiths Falls.

Pauline and Bob lived on Cornelia St. from 1952 until 1972. In 1972 they built a house on the Bay Rd. in Lombardy which became a place that all family would gather for countless celebrations. In 2010 they left their home and moved to the Wedgewood in Brockville.

Unfortunately, Pauline lost her beloved Bob in Jan. of 2014 after 67 plus years of marriage.

Retirement only meant a beginning for Pauline. She golfed, sailed the great lakes, took art classes (we all enjoy her paintings on our walls) and took every opportunity to learn new things including computers. We all Face Timed with her regularly! In the time she was at the Wedgewood she put together a book club and kept her dinner mates engaged in lively conversation on every topic. To quote her sister Myrna, losing her “is a terrible loss of talent and creativity”. However, she survives in small ways in each of her children: Harold McCrum (Jane) of Lindsay; Barbara McCready (Bill) of Thunder Bay; Lorana Potts (Dan) of Marion, Virginia; Carol (Kate) Scott (Fraser) of Toronto; and Phillip McCrum (Katherine) of Vancouver. She has 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren: Matthew Adams (Allison) and children Angus and Eve; Eric Adams (Sarah) sons Timothy and Fen; Jeremy Adams (Laura) daughter Lydia; Heather Logan (Kris), sons Oliver and Whittaker; April Witham (Cory); Phillip Potts; Mary Heney children Aislynn and Carter; Hayley Parsons (CJ) children Isabelle and Daniel; Gregory Scott (Marissa) children William, Cameron, & Alexander; Whitfield Ransom-McCrum.

Pauline is also survived by her sister in law, Christa McCrum, wife of the late Roger McCrum, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. The family would like to thank the Wedgewood staff, care partners, Dr. Bhatt in Brockville and Dr. Contreras and Carolynn at Ottawa Heart Institution for their care and support of Mum over the last few years. Family and friends are invited to gather at Blair & Son Funeral Home, Smiths Falls on Saturday, July 14, 2018 from 10 a.m. until the time of the service in the Chapel at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery. A reception for friends and family will be held at the Wedgewood Retirement Home in Brockville, commencing at 1:30. Flowers are gratefully declined, but if so desired, donations may be made to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association of Canada, phacanada.ca

LLOYD DAVID LAFORCE 1929 - 2017 Thinking of you Dad, but that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday, and the day before that too, We’ll think about you tomorrow, and as the years come and go We’ll think about you forever, because we loved you so.

Love, Paul & Theresa

Just because you cannot see me, does not mean I am not there.

Just because I am in heaven, does not mean I do not care.

I often see you crying, you often say my name, I want to hold you tight, I want to ease your pain.

Its easy for me, for I know heaven is real, If you knew the truth, how much better you would feel.

One day we will meet again, but only when the time is right, when you step out of the darkness, I will be standing in the light.

Loving you always, Mom and Dad
