ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Work continues on Lanark County's portion of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail and while it is inching closer to completion, it's not yet open for public use.

"At this time, the trail is not open and we have 'No Trespassing' signs on it ... it's still closed and we're going to open it up when we get it done," noted Lanark County chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves at a meeting of the economic development committee Aug. 29 in Perth.

Greaves provided a verbal update to councillors on the status of the 61.2-kilometre section of the trail owned by the county. In the 2018 budget, county council committed to $1.5 million in work on the OVRT this year.

He said the granular base and See TRAIL, page 2

COUNCIL

TRAIL OPENING EXPECTED SOMETIME THIS FALL Continued from page 1

stone dust along the trail is nearly complete. Crains' Construction was contracted to do the work in three phases - Sturgess Road in Montague to 10th Line of Beckwith ($302,100); 10th Line of Beckwith to Bridge Street in Almonte ($155,150); and Carss Street in Almonte to Needham Side Road in Pakenham ($122,950).

"We still have another week of work to do which will probably happen in the second week of September," Greaves explained. " ... They've (Crain) got all the gravel done, they just have some stone dust to finish up and that will be it for the surfacing."

Thomas Cavanagh Construction completed Waba Road to Highway 417 at a cost of $142,680.

"All the work has been completed between Pakenham and Arnprior, so that was the work done earlier

by Cavanagh. The surface is all done," he stated.

"They installed, I think, four or five gates between the bridge and the border of Renfrew."

More gates for the trail are currently being manu-

factured and will be installed by Oct. 5, "but we're hoping it's earlier than that," Greaves said.

Signage for the trail is the focus now, he indicated, with five stop signs to be installed at every intersection, as well as street signs.

"So every intersection will say OVRT in nice white blade as opposed to the opposite way there will be a green blade, same as all our county roads ..."

Greaves said. " ... The OVRT signs will have the 911 numbers on them so people will be able to call for emergencies. Those I believe have been ordered and they will be installed when they come in."

Other signage being considered are notices on each gate with a summary of the top five rules of the OVRT. Maps and way-finding signs will be erected on at least five spots along the trail, as well, which Greaves said will include information on the major roads and reiteration of rules. Point of entry signs are expected to be installed at the borders.

Up next for county council to discuss is the draft management plan,

being done in conjunction with Renfrew County and the Township of PapineauCameron, with whom the Lanark County purchased the OVRT. Greaves will bring the management plan to the September economic development committee meeting, as well as a report recommending the county partner with local ATV clubs on the trail.

"I think that's going to be very welcome in terms of getting the ATV folks involved because they not only contribute countless hours to keeping the trail open but they also have an enforcement role which is important in this enterprise," commented warden John Fenik (Perth mayor).

Fenik noted he'd received some complaints about horse riders not cleaning up after their animals on the trail. "Without the trail being officially open, lots of people are walking it, lots of people are biking it, ATVs are using parts of it ... when it's officially open, I think it's going to be a very popular place," he stated.

Coun. Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley deputy reeve) questioned when the trail's official

opening would take place.

"I'm confident in talking to our public works people and contractors that midSeptember, the first of October, the granular will be down, the signage will be up, the gates will be up," answered Fenik. "The kind of difficult piece in terms of opening up the trail all at once, the fly in the ointment, and it's more of a November target is the big bridge in Almonte ... I'd still like to have an official opening sometime in October for the parts that are open and cut a ribbon."

"We're definitely going to have an opening before this council's mandate is up," added the economic development committee chair, Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve).

Status of Almonte bridges Back in April, county council approved $352,310 for repairs on two bridges in Almonte that are part of the OVRT. Additional work will be in the ballpark of $162,000. The work is being done by DW Building Restoration Services Inc. and includes the installation of two deck panels on the two bridge decks in order to anchor railing systems.

Ashley Kulp/Metroland During a verbal update to county council during the Aug. 29 Lanark County economic development committee meeting, chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves noted the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail remains closed to the public. Pictured, the trailhead at Sturgess Road in Montague Township.

Greaves said the contractors estimate the work will be fully completed in November.

"You know how bridge work goes, you don't know what you're getting into until you start working on them," he remarked. "They found some cost savings and they've also found some cost overages, so hopefully it comes close to even."

The upgrades are of a wood/steel hybrid with pressure-treated wood

rails, which are allowing for cost savings and additional concrete repair work. Coun. Jane Torrance said she's received positive comments on the bridge running above Little Bridge Street in town.

"The one on Little Bridge Street, it looks beautiful," she remarked.

"I've had lots of really great comments so far and for those of you who haven't seen it, it has black steel with nice coloured wood.

It's quite beautiful."

RONA CARLETON PLACE SUPPORTS INTERVAL HOUSE THROUGH CAMPAIGN Lowe's Canada, a leading home improvement company operating or servicing more than 630 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, is proud to announce the launch of its national Lowe's Canada Heroes campaign.

This year, for the very first time, every Lowe's, RONA and Reno-Depot corporate store in the country will support a non-profit organization or public school in the community by collecting donations to help it ful-

fil its mission or carry out a specific project.

A total of more than 260 local organizations will be financially supported by this campaign throughout September. RONA Carleton Place employees, for their part, chose to support the Lanark County Interval House.

"At Lowe's Canada, our purpose is to help people love where they live, and that goes beyond our stores. It's important to us to make a tangible difference in the communities we serve across the country," said Jean-

Sébastien Lamoureux, senior vice-president, communications, public affairs and compliance at Lowe's Canada. "The Lowe's Canada Heroes campaign gives our employees the opportunity to get involved with a local organization of their choice to help carry out inspiring projects and improve the lives of the people around them every day. This campaign has run in our Lowe's stores across the country for several years, and we're excited to extend it to RONA and RenoDepot."

From Sept. 1 to 30, customers from the Carleton Place area will be invited to make a donation to support the Lanark County Interval House. Lowe's Canada will match 50 per cent of all customer donations up to $2,000 per store.

For the other organizations supported by the approximately 300 corporate stores from the Lowe's Canada network, please visit rona.ca/heroes, renodepot.com/heroes, and lowes.ca/heroes.

EAT LIKE A GANGSTER AT NEW CAPONE’S DELI ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Don't be alarmed if you see a few "wise guys" paired with some piled high smoked meat sandwiches at one of Carleton Place's newest eateries.

Capone's Deli held its official grand opening Aug. 10, but it's been serving customers since July 23. Located in the former Pizza Pizza location at 14 Bridge St., the business is owned by Mathieu and Lea Maurice, who have already invested in the town through Lea's Ink & Iron Tattoo Co. on Beckwith Street. The restaurant offers a variety of subs and sandwiches, with daily specials. Customers can either takeout or enjoy their meals in the limited dining area.

Everything at Capone's Deli is made from scratch, said Mathieu, and often takes advantage of the fresh produce at the Carleton Place Farmers' Market.

"All of our food is homemade, fresh every day and anything

that's leftover at the end of the day, we offer it on our Facebook page for free for families that need it," he explained, adding that on opening day, the deli offered a promotion to support Cornerstone Landing, which supports homeless youth. "If people brought in a laundry basket with $15 worth of items, they got a free sub or sandwich."

The issue of homelessness is an important one for the Maurices, who have both experienced life in group or foster homes, or on the street.

Mathieu, who has been cooking for 25 years, said the couple sold their chipwagon business, Valley Fries, last fall and were brainstorming ideas on their next venture when they settled on the deli.

"Food is my passion. It brings people together," he noted. "We wanted something different that stood out."

The mafia focus wasn't in the original plan, he said. The Maurices have a black and grey Great

Dane named Capone, who they used as inspiration for the colour palette. "Then I thought about the mafia and thought the gangster theme would fit in nicely," Mathieu remarked.

Once they had the theme, next came the location. Their friend, property manager Wally Thorbjornsson, who owns the building, called to say he had the perfect spot.

"We love it. There's a hub starting to grow here in downtown," Mathieu said.

The menu items have been selected with care and follow the theme, which carries through to the deli's decor. If you're feeling adventurous, try the "FuhgetaSee DELI, page 15

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com This week it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Carleton Place - or should we say Glastenbury.

On Aug. 28, scenes for the upcoming movie Christmas Giveaway were filmed at the town hall and old train station.

The movie, which is about an independent book store, is being directed by Canadian actress Megan Follows, probably best known for her role as Anne Shirley in the television miniseries Anne of Green Gables and its two sequels - Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel and Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story.

On Tuesday evening, between 6 and 9 p.m., local OPP blocked off Coleman Street in front of the train station, allowing for the movie's production. In addition to fake snow, Christmas decorations and a retro taxi, a Glastenbury Station sign was erected.

Scenes for Christmas Giveaway are also being filmed in Almonte, beginning Sept. 3. Areas of importance: North Market Cafe + Catering (former Palms) and Almonte Old Town Hall, to name a few.

On its Facebook page, North Market Cafe + Catering posted it would be closed from Aug. 28 to Sept. 18, owing to it being rented for a film location.

The movie's crew is expected to be in the area until Sept. 15. Nina Bains is the location manager and Ainslie Wiggs is the production manager.

The Canadian Gazette spoke to Wiggs during last February's filming of the romance movie Christmas Festival of Ice in Almonte. She was the film's location manager.

At the time, she said, "We chose Almonte for three main reasons: the people are super friendly, it had the desired look and its proximity to downtown Ottawa."

Bains was also location manager during the filming of the serial killer thriller Z in Almonte in 2016.

The town hall in Carleton Place has been used previously for movie shoots. Late last year, Black Widow Film Inc. utilized the council chambers between Nov. 19 and Dec. 3. In March 2017, courtroom scenes for A Rooftop Christmas Tree were filmed inside the historic building.

Too, the movie shot in Almonte.

DON'T LET SEX-ED HIJACK SCHOOL DEBATE School's back, with at least some relief from the uncertainty whirling about the health and physical education curriculum.

But by turning back the clock, the new provincial government is in danger of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

In a news release in late August, the government spelled out its plans for a provincewide consultation with parents in advance of implementing a new back-to-the-basics curriculum. There are both positives and negatives in the announcement co-made by Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Lisa Thompson.

It's positive the government made its intentions known before the new school year began, and some of the aspects of the curriculum review are well deserving of scrutiny and debate.

It's never a bad idea to consult parents (and the rest of the citizenry), but it has to be an inclusive process that guards against being hijacked by a vocal minority.

It's positive that town halls are being held right across the province, but exactly what 'telephone town halls' are and how effective they will be remains to be seen.

Regarding the list of topics on the government's consult list, there isn't much argument over whether or not the curriculum should be reviewed to determine if Ontario's schools are doing enough to prepare students with needed job skills. Not every student is suited to go to university.

More emphasis and stature should be put on learning skilled trades and new technologies.

Most people surely agree that the curriculum could do more to educate students in important life skills such as financial literacy. And the question whether to ban cellphone use in the classroom is certainly worth debating.

Discussing how to improve student performance in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics makes sense, especially considering the latest results of the standardized testing released last week.

In anticipation of changes, the government is making changes to the math curriculum, but the focus on "traditional formulas and memorization techniques" appears vague enough not to complicate things for teachers.

Unfortunately that's not the case with the health and physical education curriculum. In a knee-jerk reaction to a few strident sex-ed objectors, teachers are being forced to revert to an out-of-date curriculum from the 1990s.

The strides made in including such important topics as mental health, bullying, cyberstalking, sexting and the soon-to-be legalization of pot in the curriculum are being relegated to the back burner because of misguided concerns that discussing gender identity or making babies will scar our children.

The school curriculum could do with a review. But people and the government shouldn't allow themselves to be sidetracked into focusing on the sex-ed issue. Despite attracting so much attention, it's only a small part of the equation. In fact it's not even the most important part of the health and physical education curriculum.

Fill in the consultation surveys, attend the town halls and make detailed presentations if so inclined, but don't let apathy give the government an excuse to set a systemwide curriculum only a small group embraces.

WHO WE ARE

BACK TO SCHOOL PICS ARE ALWAYS A HIT NEWSPAPER ROLE IN SCHOOLS IS CHANGING, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column

Hey parents, grandparents, guardians, it is backto-school time. I can't wait for my social media feeds to be inundated with photos of young people doing great things in our communities.

As such, I'm putting a call out to all you awesome photographers to send us your best shots. That way, we won't be pestering students and staff at the school, looking as lost or out of place as those kinders or Grade 7/9 kids.

In years past, we in the newsroom have been tasked with back-to-school assignments.

There is a lot more to it these days. We need five levels of approvals (a little exaggeration, but not much), as they also go on the World Wide Web. Children's safety is paramount for all involved here so we are always mindful of getting proper approval before the photos get printed in the newspaper.

We understand that you may not want your child's photo to appear in print or on line. As our industry has developed in recent years, we can't just put something in the paper these days without it also being on our websites and social pages.

This is why we will be leaving a lot of school events' coverage up to the school boards communication departments, whose

personnel are inside your schools more regularly than we are, and are a lot more familiar with who can and can't be photographed.

Your school board communication departments are doing bang-up jobs covering important events and milestones and they always share those stories and photos with the newspaper.

We are appreciative to them for that.

So as we head back to school, don't forget to snap a photo of your child as they wait for the bus, hug their dog, or display their new backpack - we'll save some space in a print edition, as long as we know they are good to be published.

We will, of course, still be on hand to cover major events or profile key milestones and achievements.

And we will always be wary of your children's safety when it comes to newspaper coverage.

WATEr MAIN FLUShING – ALMONTE WArD Tuesday, September 4th, 2018 to Friday, October 19th, 2018 During the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends).

This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water.

• Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed.

• If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system.

• Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometres away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water.

• Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts.

• We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water.

We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed.

APPLE BAKE OFF IN CARLETON PLACE SEPT. 24 TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Do you have a favourite apple recipe? If so, dust off your pie plates and cake pans and take part in the 10th Annual Apple Bake Off, presented by Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place.

The event, open to area residents, takes place on Sept. 24, with a number of fantastic prizes to be given away.

"The Apple Bake Off signals the arrival of fall for us," Patty Guimond told the Canadian Gazette. "Along with a cool

nip in the air, there is that wonderful fragrance - the blend of apple and spice."

Guimond is the longtime community relations manager at Waterside Retirement Community.

"Being 10 years, we were asked to change things up, switching the apple for another fruit; however, the answer was a big negative," she said.

"This event is a tradition that is very popular and we wanted to keep it just as it is."

Guimond asks area residents to bring their best apple dish to Waterside Retirement Commu-

24.

An all-things-apple lunch will be served at 1:15 p.m. in the Shores Dining Room, with a cash bar and live entertainment in the Paddles Pub at 2:15 p.m.

Two longtime judges are returning: Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and Metroland Media reporter Tara Gesner.

All entries are rated using the following categories: visual appeal, apple flavour, apple aroma and overall taste. Points were awarded on a scale of one (lowest) to five (highest).

"It can be a main

course, dessert, preserve or even a beverage," Guimond said. "The sky is the limit!"

Submissions last year included two apple pies, crab apple jelly-filled cookies, baked apple, appletini, pickled crab apples, apple crisp, apple cake, apple crumble with drizzle and apple fritters with apple cider.

The top three finishers will be announced at 3:30 p.m., followed by a sampling of all the dishes by everyone.

A cookbook is being produced by Waterside Retirement Community

TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com It has been a busy summer with busy times ahead at Lanark County Interval House (LCIH).

Located in Carleton Place, LCIH is a first stage shelter for women and children in crisis. In existence for nearly 40 years, the 15-bed facility responds to 2,000plus calls for help annually, and it engages and provides direct service to more than 400 women and children.

Violence against women and children in the community comes in several forms. For example: Coercive control, emotional, financial, isolation, physical, ritual, sexual assault, spiritual, stalking, technology and verbal.

LCIH believes a woman and her children have the right to live with dignity and without the threat of abuse. When this right is denied or interfered with, the organization provides protection and support.

The organization relies on the support of local leaders and community members to move the issue of violence against women forward.

Brianne Luckasavitch, LCIH's public education co-ordinator, noted the organization's See It, Name It, Change It campaign aims to bring citizens together to stop violence against women.

Exciting times ahead Last year, LCIH acquired its second stage housing property.

The project is well underway, with completion forecasted before the end of the year.

Unlike a first stage or crisis shelter, which responds to shortterm emergencies, second stage housing offers secure and affordable accommodations to abused women with or without children/youth for up to one year.

According to Luckasavitch, safety, healing and empowerment are the focus.

According to LCIH executive director Erin Lee: "Women are empowered as they make changes in their lives through safe housing, counselling and supports."

"It's important we are seen everywhere."

- Brianne Luckasavitch, Lanark County Interval House public education co-ordinator.

There are four apartments, with one being accessible. Each unit has two bedrooms and one bathroom and includes kitchen/ dining and living room areas.

LCIH is grateful to its corporate sponsor, Tiree, as well as apartment and financial sponsors: RE/MAX Affiliates (Carleton Place), Valley Granite & Tile, Scotiabank Home Financial and Ernie and Brenda Rowe. Wally Thorbjornsson has donated storage support.

Lanark County, by way of Lanark County Housing Corporation, has engaged in a rent supplement agreement with LCIH. As a result, rent would be affordable and geared to income.

"You do not need to be in the emergency shelter to be considered for second stage housing," Luckasavitch explained.

In May, Carleton Place made a $10,000 pledge to the second stage housing project, payable over two years. In August, the Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills made a $25,000 pledge, payable over five years.

Other funding includes a $104,500 contribution from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Moreover, United Way Lanark County has granted some program support funds to LCIH. Going forward, LCIH anticipates yearly costs to be approximately $140,000.

LCIH is also engaged with Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) in Mississippi Mills.

According to LCIH executive director Erin Lee, MCSC is soon launching a 12-unit building with designated apartments for victims of domestic violence (two), seniors and people with complex needs.

"We are also revamping our website," Luckasavitch noted.

"This is one of our priorities."

The launch should be in early 2019.

LCIH owns and operates the As Good As New Thrift Store, located at 33 Bridge St in Carleton Place. The store is run entirely by volunteers, with 100 per cent of the funds collected going to the shelter for programs and so much more.

"The store is an amazing draw for us," Luckasavitch said.

CARLETON PLACE GETS FIRST PEEK AT PROPOSED ROY BROWN STATUE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Capt. Arthur Roy Brown of Carleton Place was always known as Roy. During the First World War, in the thick of vicious air fighting, Brown distinguished himself by downing several enemy aircraft. Too, he saved the life of a comrade

who was under attack by four enemy pilots.

For his gallantry he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC).

In the skies over war-torn France on April 21, 1918, Brown downed German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron, a member of the renowned Flying Circus. He would later receive a Bar to his DSC.

The Roy Brown Society in Carleton Place is dedicated to researching, preserving and telling the story of the local flying ace. In 2017, the group began working on the establishment of a Brown statue, to be placed in the town's downtown core next to the historic Moore House.

mation Centre, houses an exhibit dedicated to Brown.

Last year, Carleton Place council contributed $12,500, the balance of the town's mural fund, to get the initiative off the ground.

Roy Brown Society president and cofounder Rob Probert told the Canadian Gazette: "The statue will not be contracted until all necessary fundraising is in place."

It is estimated to cost upwards of $200,000, which also includes the foundation and landscaping expenses.

On top of the $12,500, Probert noted, the Roy Brown Society has been approved for a matching federal contribution grant from the Commemorative Partnership Program, offered by way of Veterans Affairs Canada. The grant is for up to $50,000 of the project costs.

"The Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) has made a pledge as well ($700 for three years)," he said, and "there is a $100,000 grant from Heritage Canada, which we have a good chance of receiving."

Probert added, "Other monies will come from donations, with aviation and military foundations being approached. We are also setting up a GoFundMe page."

Too, council agreed to consider the re-allocation of mural monies in the 2018 budget - $5,000, to the statue project.

There is an artist and design for the Brown statue - David Clendining. The See STATUE, page 14

After curating local galleries for more than a dozen years, Barbara Cotterill and Ann Jezewski are setting off on some new adventures.

The duo were honoured by Mississippi Mills council at its Aug. 28 meeting for their efforts in efforts in curating exhibits in the Chambers Gallery (foyer of the municipal office at 3131 Old Perth Rd.) - part of the Art Corridor initiative which includes the Corridor Gallery at the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library on High Street.

Cotterill and Jezewski, who are also both artists, are retiring. Jezewski and her husband will be moving to Victoria, while Cotterill and her husband are hoping to travel more.

Mayor Shaun McLaughlin said the Art Corridor project, the dream of community arts advocate Reva Dolgoy, began in 1997 when Dolgoy approached the local library board with the idea of using the empty walls to display temporary exhibits.

"Barbara joined Reva in 2005 I'm told, and succeeded her as curator in 2009 and council officially asked if they would curate in our lobby, which they've been doing since about that time," he explained.

Since the municipal building was restored in 2008, exhibits have been featured in the Chambers Gallery, which remain there for a month before transitioning to the Corridor Gallery for another month. These are spaces where a wide variety of artists' works can be displayed at no charge.

"Since then, those walls and spaces have showcased more than 200 sculptors, painters, photographers, artisans and the rest," McLaughlin noted.

He said the volunteer curators have done an excellent job on the displays in the Chambers Gallery, which change monthly.

"These two stellar volunteers have spent thousands of hours doing this. This is a very big job," McLaughlin commented. "Their work involves identifying the artists first, requesting and reviewing samples of the work and scheduling the work to ensure quality, variety and continuity. They assist in hanging displays, facilitate all communications involved and pass any communications for sales back to the library."

In addition to framed certificates of appreciation, the pair were given bars from Hummingbird Chocolate.

Back in 2013 during an interview with this newspaper on the Art Corridor, Cotterill said: "Almonte and our valley towns have a very rich resource of area artists. It's important to show that culture. I think art enriches our life and to see art on a regular basis brings joy to our lives."

During this year's Bridge St. Summer Fest in Carleton Place, a BIA event, the third rendering of the Brown statue was on display.

"There will be more," Probert said. "However, I believe we are 80 per cent there."

The rendering's cost was approximately $2,500.

Probert noted Brown's bronze statue will be seven feet, with the flying ace in proper military uniform, and it will feature a large granite stone backdrop and a bronze propeller.

"This is a three-or-fourpart installation," Probert noted.

Brown died in 1944. He was living in Stouffville, in the area of Toronto, at the time. Brown's family home still exists in Carleton Place, located at 38 Mill St., just down from the town hall.

Carleton Place has done much to honour Brown: the formation of the Roy Brown Society, creation of a mural, naming Captain A. Roy Brown Boulevard,

Roy Brown Park, memorial plaque, books, dinners and more.

In 2015, Brown was inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame on June 4, during a ceremony at the Skyservice Business Aviation Hangar at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. A delegation from Carleton Place attended.

Todd Boyce, a Perth native and Carleton Place resident, is helping the Roy Brown Society with the statue initiative. He raised thousands of dollars a few years ago, which allowed for a statue to be erected in memory of fiveyear-old Jeffery Baldwin.

Located in Greenwood Park in Toronto, the monument famously depicts Baldwin wearing a Superman costume. The youngster died in 2002 in the care of his grandmother.

Mathieu said the "Matty's Meatballs" has proved to be a popular choice among patrons. The meatballs are Lea's recipe, placed on a sub bun and slathered with melted cheese. Another claim to fame is the authentic smoked meat offerings "The Godfather" (supersized), "Scarface" (regular size) or "Little Tony (half size).

Why participate in the hearing study?

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

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

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.

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

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.

BRETT PEARSON RUN FOR YOUR LIFE RETURNS SEPT. 29

Submitted/Brian Turner The Brett Pearson Run For Your Life fundraising event will mark its eighth year in Carleton Place on Sept. 29. The recipient of funds raised this year will be Warrior Adventures Canada, who use therapeutic adventure and peer support to reduce operational stress in veterans and first responders. Pictured, the run features the Parade of Life, which makes its way down Bridge Street.

Which Of These Neuropathy Symptoms Do You Suffer From?

If You Suffer From A Single One Of These Symptoms – Numbness, Tingling, Or Sharp Nerve Pain – THEN THE FACTS BELOW MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT YOU HAVE EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE!

Neuropathy affects every part of your life -walking, sitting, and even sleeping.

Maybe you’ve had multiple tests, only to find out no one has any idea what you have.

Maybe you’ve even been put on a drug with heavy side effects.

Do you have any of the following symptoms...

• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains If so you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

My name is Dr Sean Murphy, of Murphy Chiropractic. I’ve been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 18 years.

More than 20 million Americans and 1 million Canadians suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs.

This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.

insideottawavalley.com

Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy?

Data from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners’ Job Analysis of Chiropractic lists arm and leg neuropathy as the second most common nerve problem treated by chiropractors.

Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine irritating and

compressing the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

A possible solution to your neuropathy Using gentle techniques, chiropractors are able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

Numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve related conditions.

With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.”

- JMPT 1998 Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life without the aggravating nerve pain.

How To Find Out If This Will Work For You It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution.

Until September 21, 2018, we have reduced our fee to $35 as a gift of compassion for you. (The normal price for this type of evaluation including x-rays is over $220).

What does this offer include?

You will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

• A full set of specialized x-rays (if needed) to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms.

• A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

Once again Mill Street by the Carleton Place Town Hall will be buzzing with runners, walkers, and supporters of the Brett Pearson Run for Your Life, coming up on Saturday, Sept. 29.

Now in its eighth year and showing no signs of slowing down, this fundraising event is much more about a sunny morning's run/walk along the streets and trails of our beautiful community (it has never failed to coincide with great weather).

The run was started by Brett's mom, Nicole Pearson, as a way to increase awareness among participants and spectators alike on the topics of mental health, suicide, and substance abuse/ misuse. To that end, Nicole and her run committee, along with the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee have thoughtfully chosen guest speakers who have throughout the years provided unique and meaningful insight and support to those at risk and their families. This year's speaker will be Matt Skube of CTV Ottawa.

The run team has also arranged to welcome health care providers and community stakeholders to set up information booths giving everyone See RUN, page 34

Don’t let neuropathy hold you back from enjoying life.

Here’s What To Do Now The offer is available until September 21, 2018.

Call today 613-253-8813 and we can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening.

Our office is located at 3 Costello Drive, Carleton Place.

When you call, tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Neuropathy Evaluation mentioned in this Newspaper so she can schedule your appointment and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Sincerely, Dr. Sean Murphy P. S. We want to help you discover the root cause to your symptoms.

Don’t live in pain when we may have the solution you’ve been looking for.

Dr. Murphy is a member of Chiropractors with Compassion and will donate $20 from your fee to this charity to help children around the World receive a proper education and fresh water.

Thank You Lanark County Quilters Guild thanks the following for their contribution in making our Quilts on the Tay 2018 quilt show another successful event: Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, Rideau Lumber (Smiths Falls), Hillside Gardens (Perth), Lake 88, EMC, The Humm, The Country Register, and the various businesses in Perth, Smiths Falls and the surrounding areas for displaying our poster and bookmarks.

OPINION

side our bed. I knelt down and had a little talk with God, as I often did. Usually it was to ask a special favour. But tonight was different. Tonight it was to give thanks. I gave a prayer of thanks to having a teacher like Miss Crosby, and a friend like Velma who had an older sister who had reached out to me.

I went to bed with a much lighter heart than I had in the morning, and when I got out of bed the next day, my fears were gone, and I couldn't wait to get back to the Northcote School.

Filled with a mixture of anticipation and dread, I headed off to the Northcote School for the first day back after a long summer vacation. I loved going to school, but this year would be very different.

My sister Audrey had graduated from the Entrance Class, and she wouldn't be there to look after me. Who would walk me to school through the bush out our long lane to the Northcote Side Road? Who would make sure I had my lunch tucked into my book bag every morning, setting it on the table at the back of the school room at the ready when Miss Crosby nodded that morning classes were over?

And so that first day, my stomach was in knots. But Joyce and Velma, my best friends, were there, and they didn't seem the least bit concerned. Of course, Velma had an older sister still there, and Joyce never had a sister to begin with.

It looked like the last thing on Miss Crosby's mind was whether or not I was upset. She set right to getting us all seated. I noticed she was careful not to sit my brother Emerson beside Cecil, but settled them in different rows well apart. They spelled trouble if put together!

I had hoped to get seated beside either Velma or Joyce, but Miss Crosby gave them seats in the second row. I was left standing at the back of the room waiting to be called.

Miss Crosby next sat the Senior Fourths, but leaving the front desk empty. Once everyone else was in place, Miss Crosby finally called my name and pointed to the only place left in the entire room, that empty desk.

What was left of the morning passed quickly, and then it was time for lunch.

Miss Crosby nodded at Velma's sister, and she went to the table at the back of the room, took my lunch bag and brought it to me.

She made sure I had a place to

sit beside Joyce and Velma. The knot in my stomach began to ease. Everything was working out just fine, as we laughed and talked about going back to school and the first day.

When it was time to go home, Velma's sister said I was to walk home with them. She said then all I would have to do was cut across the twenty-acre field that separated our two farms leading right to our house. She knew how I was frightened to walk through the deep bush that filled our long lane into our barnyard.

That night after we had said our prayers around Mother's knee I went to the braided rug be-

As family, friends and regular readers know I am a dedicated walker. For nearly two decades I have taken a daily walk and now it's such a regular part of my routine that if I am unable to walk on a given day I really notice it. I enjoy walking so much that I really miss the experience if travel or other circumstances cause a break in my usual pattern.

Walking has so many benefits. Not only is it good for a person's health but I find that I do some of my best thinking

when I clear my head and set off on a long walk. I also meet a lot of people along the way. A good class of people I hasten to add!

Because I usually follow the same route I am also able to see and follow what is happening in the heart of our community. Walking helps me keep on top of things and in the newspaper business that's a big advantage.

Most recently I have a companion on my daily walks. My wife Kathleen retired a few weeks ago after 30 years working in the insurance business.

Previously she was only able to join me on weekends, holidays or occasionally after work hours. I'm really enjoy-

ing having Kathy with me every day now and we are establishing a new routine of walking earlier in the day.

At the same time it is good to see that the number of good locations to walk, run, bicycle and drive all-terrain vehicles or snowmobiles (or to ski and snowshoe in winter) are increasing in this region.

A couple of weeks ago I lamented the lack of passenger rail service in so many areas of the country, including Carleton Place where we live.

However the two major railway corridors which were once so busy here have been, or are in the process of being, See ROOM, page 30

Watch for the New Lanark County Ambulances

By Travis Mellema, Deputy Chief Lanark County Paramedic Service Lanark County’s two newest ambulances have arrived, and they have a new look. The lights are now blue – instead of the traditional red.

Recent studies have confirmed that it is easier for drivers to determine which direction a vehicle is moving in if it uses blue ue lights. The studies also show that blue light is more visible at night. Ambulance with blue lights will be safer and more visible on the road, especially in adverse weather conditions, such as snow or fog. The blue lights also have the advantage of being unique on the road. The traditional red lights were often mistaken for ordinary brake lights by drivers.

insideottawavalley.com

The Lanark County Paramedic Service plans to gradually transition its fleet. As the vehicles with red lights are retired, they will be replaced by ambulances with blue lights.

The County’s new Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) has also changed. The ERVs are first response vehicles with one paramedic who is able to provide immediate care.

www.almontegeneral.com

The new ERV is a smaller, more fuel-efficient model of SUV and also has a new reflective decal design to align with the rest of the fleet.

Other major changes come in the design of the equipment storrage area in the back of the ERV. It is more ergonomic. Staff can now slide out the storage tray at trunk level for some of the heavvier pieces of equipment to be stored on. This minimizes the lifting ng of such equipment to a higher storage shelf within the back of the he SUV and should help mitigate the risk of injuries. If this new w design is successful in its implementation, it could be used he model for future vehicle builds. as the ne thing that hasn’t changed is the requirement for all drivers One to sllow down and move over when they see an emergency hicle approaching in either direction. And if you see an vehi ergency vehicle stopped on the side of the road with its lights emer flashi hing, you must slow down and pass with caution. If the road has two or more lanes, you must leave a space between you and the e emergency em vehicle, if you can do so safely.

Thank hank yyou for helping us keep patients, paramedics and the public publ safe.

Fall events A number of events in support of LCIH are planned for this fall and winter.

Once again, LCIH will benefit from the Farm to Fork dinner and dance in Carleton Place, presented by a committee of community-minded individuals.

The event takes place on Sept. 8 at Market Square, corner of Lake Avenue East and Beckwith Street.

In addition to a social hour (5 p.m.), dinner is served at 6 p.m., with entertainment by Starfire following at 7:30 p.m.

Last year's event was sold out.

While supplies last, tickets are $40 per person and available at Nancy's Impressions and The Granary, or by calling 613-2574748. Only 210 are available.

There will also be a silent auction to peruse throughout the evening.

Luckasavitch called this "a great example of a third-party event."

LCIH's annual Take Back the Night march is Sept. 20, and in the wake of the #MeToo movement, it will be combined with a presentation of The Ghomeshi Effect.

March participants will gather in the park behind Carleton Place Town Hall at 6 p.m., with the walk beginning at 6:30 p.m.

At 7:15 p.m., All Nations Church, 39 Bridge St., hosts The Ghomeshi Effect team. Members will do selections from the awardwinning documentary dance-theatre performance on sexual violence and the legal system. The show is recommended for ages 14 and up, owing to the mature content and some profanity. Light refreshments will be served.

On Oct. 13, the RE/MAX Affiliates Charity Run/ Walk is back in Carleton Place for a third year. The fundraising event for LCIH offers a 5 kilometre (km) adult run/walk and 1 km kids run/walk. Festivities begin at 8:30 a.m.

(check in), with the race at the McNeely Avenue branch of the Beckwith Trail - starting promptly at 9:30 a.m. The top three finishers of each race, which is timed, receive prizes, with all other participants receiving a commemorative medal. There will also be refreshments and activities for kids.

Last year's event raised in excess of $11,500. For more information, visit http://www.remaxaffiliatescharityrun.com.

Marking three decades, the annual Women's Fair in support of LCIH takes place on Nov. 3 this year at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place (arena) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills took over running the Women's Fair in 2017.

Fair categories include arts and crafts, psychics, clothing, health and wellness, decor, jewelry and more.

Luckasavitch revealed every ticket holder receives a free facial or pedicure from Ottawa MediSpa in Kanata.

Dec. 6 marks National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women and in Lanark County. Again, LCIH will lead a vigil at the women's monument in

unteers to assist. A service at the shelter can also be sponsored, and all contributions are recognized. Inkind donations are always appreciated by LCIH, as many women and children come through the house and their needs are always a priority.

FARM TO FORK DINNER KICKS OFF FALL EVENTS SEPT. 8

Perth.

During the event, community members light candles and pay tribute to the 14 women killed in the Montreal massacre at École Polytechnique in 1989. Too, it is a time to remember the women killed and affected by domestic violence in Lanark County.

"It is important we are seen everywhere," Luckasavitch noted.

With LCIH events in Perth and Carleton Place, the organization is looking into a signature event for Smiths Falls in 2019.

"We are hoping to create bigger presence," Luckasavitch said.

Owing to the increase in activity at LCIH, an existing job was recently split into two positions, resulting in a couple of new faces at the organization.

The roles: resource co-ordinator and volunteer and communications co-ordinator.

Businesses, community groups, schools or individuals can host a fundraiser for LCIH, with the organization helping to promote the event and offering vol-

FESTIVAL OF SMALL HALLS KICKS OFF FIFTH YEAR SEPT. 13 ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com This September is the chance to see top Canadian musicians in the intimate setting of small venues across the region.

The fifth annual Festival of Small Halls (FOSH) officially kicks off Sept. 13, making its way through Almonte, Chaffey's

Lock, Pakenham, Tweed, Athens, McDonalds Corners, Burritts Rapids, Merrickville, Elgin and more. It concludes Sept. 30.

According to FOSH general manager Kelly Symes, a total of 34 acts will unfold over the course of three weekends, and popularity in the festival keeps growing.

"We're now up to four shows a night on the weekend nights," she

explained. " ... Music is good for us; it's good for the soul."

This year, FOSH has added roughly eight new venues to its arsenal. "We have such amazing communities that run between Ottawa and Peterborough, so we can showcase these spaces not only as tourism spots but as great places for live music," she remarked. "Ninety-five per cent of

our halls from last year have all come back on board and it's become kind of a trend of sorts."

Some of those spaces include the Almonte Old Town Hall, known for its acoustics, Chaffey's Lock Community Hall, the Red Brick School in Elgin and the Merrickville United Church. At-

The former Canadian National (CN) line from Carleton Place to Nepean has long since been incorporated into the Trans Canada Trail. It's very busy,

especially on weekends.

At present the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail is under development along a nearly 300 kilometre section of what was once the Canadian Pacific (CP) rail line from Mattawa to Brockville. In 2016 Lanark and Renfrew counties,

The final Yard of the Week is gardened by Susan Jolin at 219 Hillcrest Drive in Appleton. The front beds were established 3 years ago and they carry through to backyard beds newly planted this year. A large natural and paver stone walkway leads to the front porch where two striking coleus planters and a seating area welcome guests. Plantings include tiger eye sumac, dogwood, black-eyed susan, coneflower, anise hyssop, phlox and coral bells. A boomerang lilac is starting to re-bloom and pink turtlehead hosted a hummingbird while I was there. Susan selects plants for the birds, bees and butterflies.

cluding picturesque sections bordering the Mississippi River. The most adventurous and durable people here have long had access to the Trans Canada Trail. Now the Ottawa Valley trail, running north to south, is under development. In fact portions of the trail in Carleton Place are now virtually complete, although use is being discouraged until all of the work is done.

With Kathy and I now walking together every day we sometimes break away from our usual route, which covers streets on both sides of the river, and opt for walks along the now extensive and growing trail network in town.

In our community at least there are lots of options and plenty of room for everyone to use the growing trail network. I encourage people to take to their heels and enjoy the available infrastructure. Good experiences await you I'm certain!

tendees not only have the opportunity to discover a hidden gem in their backyard, but it's also a chance for artists to have up close and personal experiences with the crowd.

"Audience members truly get a unique experience with the festival," Symes noted. " ... There's such an overall feeling of inclusion and it's awesome for community halls to support live music the way they do." " ... It shows live music is well supported in small communities," she added.

The music Symes said she's "thrilled" with how this year's FOSH lineup came together.

"We were lucky to get a few bucket list artists we've wanted for a few years."

Some of those artists include folk singer/songwriter Stephen Fearing, who founded Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. He will play two shows - Friday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. with Kelly Sloan at St. Andrew's United Church in Pakenham, and Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m. with Kris and Dee at Grace Hall in Sydenham.

"We're really excited to have him," she said. "It's rare that you get to see such a musician up close and experience great music. He's been on our radar for a couple

of years."

Another exciting addition is up and coming Canadian country/blues musician, Colter Wall. The Saskatchewan born Wall released his debut album in May 2017 and since then has been drawing comparisons to legends such as Johnny Cash.

"We're really lucky to get him," Symes said. "We booked him back in December of last year."

Wall will also be playing two shows, the first on Friday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Athens' Joshua Bates Centre. The next day's show on Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m., he will be joined by Henry Norwood at the McDonalds Corners Agricultural Hall. This appearance has sold out.

Juno Award-winning First Nation singer/songwriter William Prince, who will perform on opening night of the festival, Thursday, Sept. 13, is another up and coming artist. He will be joined by local opening band, Outside I'm a Giant, at the Almonte Old Town Hall for a 7:30 p.m. show.

"He was signed to Glassnote Records, which is Mumford & Sons' label," Symes explained. "All we get him for is one night because he's in such demand."

The festival is pleased to have Toronto native Basia Bulat back this year as well.

She will appear at Merrickville United Church on Saturday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m.

Facebook photo Nova Scotia sisters and Celtic musicians, Cassie & Maggie, will play three shows - Sept. 21 at Union Hall in Mississippi Mills; Sept. 22 at Dunvegan Recreation Hall; and Sept. 23 at Maberly Hall. with Off the Grid.

"She was such a hit we decided we had to have her back this year," Symes said.

"There's such beautiful harmonies with a little bit of folk, jazz and pop fused in together."

Symes said it's really exciting to see the lineup for the festival evolve from year to year.

"We're so lucky to have all of these people jump on board and commit to playing these small halls in places some of them have never even heard of," she remarked.

"They've so warmly embraced the festival."

As is in the past, local opening acts have been selected to perform with the headliners at nearly all of the venues.

"It's a great way to showcase local talent who might not reach these crowds otherwise," Symes said.

She noted that she's thrilled to have secured opening act Kim Pollard for the Friday, Sept. 28 show with headliners Ken Whiteley and The Levy Sisters at Seeley's Bay Community Hall.

"She has this powerful soulful voice and she's so passionate in her writing. It's music than can really be felt," Symes stated.

Other openers to watch for are folk duo Kris and Dee, appearing with Fearing on Sept. 15.

The future Over their five years, Syme said the festival has been reaching audiences farther afield, including Niagara Falls and Ajax.

With the addition of venues to the west such as Tweed and Combermere, she hopes the festival continues to grow westward.

"I've been really thrilled and surprised by the number of halls that want to participate in the event and as we continue to grow toward the west, more awareness is generated for the festival," Symes explained. " ... We're also developing more of an awareness in western Ontario and southern Ontario, which gives artists an opportunity to develop a stronger following."

While some shows have sold out, there are many tickets still available for the 2018 Festival of Small Halls. For complete lineup information and to purchase tickets, visit thefestivalofsmallhalls.com.

CHILDREN LEARN NATURE SKILLS AT PAKENHAM FESTIVAL JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Youngsters from throughout the area baked bread over an open fire and listened to amplified sounds from the marsh at the two-day Festival of the Wild Child Aug. 25-26.

Those were just two of many nature-related events on the agenda at the family-friendly event at the scenic High Lonesome Nature Reserve in the hills above Pakenham.

The gathering, organized by the Mississippi Mada-

waska Land Trust and sponsored by Vamos Outdoors of Almonte, combined play and nature education at a variety of stations.

Families hiked the woodland trails and listened to the amplified sounds of chickadees, toads and other critters in a soundscaping exercise at Spooky Marsh.

Helena Norlock said she heard bugs in the water and birds in the trees thanks to microphones set up around the 'swamp.'

James Wolff found two

handfuls of 'haycorns' (Piglet's favourite food).

The kids also visited the turtle pond, Stonewall Arboretum and Creativity Centre. A Discover Geology station was added Sunday at one of the nature reserve's many rocky outcroppings.

Wilderness skills were led by Chad Clifford in sessions spent walking quietly in the woods and baking bread over a campfire.

There were also nature authors and a gardening expert on hand to share their expertise.

John Carter/Metroland Clyde Rafuse, left, and Milo Scime, teen volunteers at the Festival of the Wild Child, showed the youngsters how to use coals from the fire to burn patterns in the wood in order to make items such as spoons.

FIRST ALL CANDIDATES MEETING IN MISSISSIPPI MILLS SEPT. 12

Next up on Wednesday, Sept. 19 are the mayor, deputy mayor and Pakenham ward councillor candidates at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham. That meeting also gets underway at 7 p.m.

The final session is strictly for mayor and deputy mayor candidates and will take place Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Almonte Civitan Hall.

ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com

The candidates

The local ratepayers' association, business owners and concerned residents are coming together to host a series of three all candidates meetings this month in Mississippi Mills.

According to a post in the Facebook group, Friends of Mississippi Mills, the meetings are being co-ordinated "in light of the absence of any planned all candidates meetings in the Municipality of Mississippi Mills," by the Pakenham, Ramsay & Almonte Taxpayers' Advocacy Coalition (PRATAC), citizens and business owners.

"As a prologue to the upcoming municipal election on Oct. 22, PRATAC has assumed the responsibility of co-ordinating the meetings on behalf of all the residents of Mississippi Mills," reads the post.

The first meeting, featuring councillor candidates for Ramsay and Almonte wards, will be held Wednesday, Sept. 12 at the Almonte Civitan Hall at 7 p.m.

There are four candidates running for the position of mayor in Mississippi Mills - Christa Lowry (current Ramsay ward councillor); Ken Laframboise, Steve Maynard and Paul Watters (current Ramsay ward councillor).

Five are vying for the deputy mayor spot, including Mario Coculuzzi, David Hinks, Dieter King, former mayor John Levi and Jane Torrance (current Almonte ward councillor). Two Almonte ward councillor positions are up for grabs with Duncan Abbott (current Almonte ward councillor), John Dalgity, Jan Maydan and Jill McCubbin (current Almonte ward councillor) seeking those spots.

Running for the two Ramsay ward councillor spots are Tony Barr, John Edwards (current Ramsay ward councillor), Cynthia Guerard, Bev Holmes and Ken Kicksee.

Rounding out the candidates are Denzil Ferguson (current Pakenham ward councillor) and Vicki Barr McDougall, vying for the lone Pakenham ward council seat.

The Lanark Animal Welfare Society is preparing for renovations and have no more room for items for future garage sales for the rest of 2018. So until further notice, LAWS is not accepting items at this time.

On behalf of LAWS, we wish to thank the Hinton Auto Group and the staff at Smiths Falls Ford for their fundraising barbecue and car wash. In four hours, they raised $800 for the shelter. It was greatly appreciated that the Smiths Falls Ford staff came in on their day off.

Featured pets Sweet Donna is barely one year old but already raised four kittens; two of her own and two who needed a mamma.

Now that they have found homes she is taking her time to enjoy herself in her foster home having fun and playing games, chasing toys and running through the tunnel. Once

Donna gains your trust she will follow you around until she get pets and praises. Donna is still in a foster home very close by our shelter.

Should you be interested in meeting Donna you can call the shelter at 613-283-9308 to make arrangements to meet her.

Please meet Sneakers and Scamper. Two kittens brothers of about four months old.

They're both playful, affectionate, handsome and they would love to have a cat-friend to go home to. So whether they're going together, which would be great, or if they go to a loving home where they meet other resident cats, it doesn't matter as long as they're finding a home. Both kittens are available for adoption in Perth at Pet Valu.

Meet Tuffy who us our temporary office cat. He is enjoying being around people and

Sneakers

Donna

Scamper

all the comings and goings that goes on at LAWS. He only tolerates short sessions at petting and attention, but is super friendly when it's time for his wet food in the morning and evening! He is earning his keep too by catching a few mice. He

needs to go to a home where there are no children or dogs.

We hope this handsome boy finds his perfect home soon.

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. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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!

Vallillee, Catherine Florence (nee Lapointe)

Catherine Florence Vallillee (nee Lapointe) passed away on August 26th at the Carleton Place Terrace. She was 96 years old. She was pre-deceased by her beloved husband Gerald Vallillee, great friend Walter Goodings, and siblings John, Bernard, Leonard, Wilfred and Theresa.

She is mourned by her sister Frances Dagenais and her four children Jane Beall (Pat Wolfe), David (Laura- deceased), Wendy (Alan Eschke) and Derek.

Grandchildren Bernardo Valero, Christopher Beall, Paul Vallillee, Nathan Vallillee and Janeva Wolfe will miss her as well as will her great grandchildren, Bernie Valero, Jr., Brian Valero, Julia Beall, Ainsley O’Loughlin, Taylum Vallillee, Logan Vallillee, Kaycee Vallillee, Daymon Vallillee, Christopher Vallillee and Natasha Fournier. Catherine grew up in Pembroke, Ontario in a Franco-Ontarian family, and spent several years of her childhood in a wheelchair with polio. After that she was always uneasy with animals as the horse pulling the milk wagon down Front Street in Pembroke sometimes attempted to rest his head on her shoulder and she was powerless to move away. Being immobile for her early childhood was also the origin of a lifelong fear of insects, especially flies that would land on her in her wheelchair. Later, Catherine attended a private high school in Montreal as there was no French school in Pembroke above grade 8.

She vividly remembered arriving in Montreal on September 10th, 1939, the day war was declared. She wandered around in the general confusion and chaos of the train station and wasn’t found by her school escort until after nightfall. After high school, she worked in a munitions factory in Brownsburg, Quebec where she met her future husband, Gerald.

Once he was called up, she returned with daughter Jane to her family in Pembroke.

After the war, there was plenty of travel.

Gerald continued with his education, completing a PhD in Classics at the University of Chicago. As a professor, and later Dean, Catherine moved with her family to Lennoxville, Ottawa, Waterloo, and Sudbury.

In her role as the Dean’s wife, she enjoyed entertaining, including on one memorable occasion, welcoming the Secretary General of the United Nations, U Thant, to dinner. In 1979 Catherine went to Darwin, Australia with daughter Jane, grandson Christopher and young son Derek. Although she planned to stay only until Jane was settled, the lure of the tropics and an understanding husband allowed her to enjoy a complete year of Aussie hospitality. On her husband’s retirement, Catherine and Gerald moved to Lanark to be near family. Her youngest daughter, Wendy, owned the Lanark Era for many years. Several years after her husband’s death, Catherine met and enjoyed a close friendship with Walter Goodings until his death 9 years ago.

Four years ago, Catherine moved to the Carleton Place Terrace where she lived happily until her death. She especially enjoyed her friends at her dinner table and was often seen smiling and laughing. She loved listening to CBC and reading. Just before she broke her ankle which precipitated her death, she was busy reading a biography of Rene Levesque.

She will be greatly missed by friends, family and all who knew her. In remembrance of Catherine, contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society Wheels of Hope would be appreciated. Arrangements are private for the family and are in the care of Blair & Son Funeral Home, Perth www.blairandson.com

PORTEOUS In memory of Ron Porteous who left us 10 years ago on September 7th 2008.

Our brother lives with us in memory, Before our eyes he grew weaker every day.

Doing all we could to save him, Until God took him away.

Never shall his memory fade.

Our sweetest love lingers, Forever round his peaceful grave.

Gone but not forgotten, Love Trevor and Susan and family

Moore, Lorna - In loving memory of a dear sister who passed away Sept. 7, 2009.

Although we smile and make no fuss, No one misses you more than us, And when old times we often recall, It’s then we miss you most of all.

We think about you always, We talk about you still, You have never been forgotten, And you never will.

We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk and guide us through our lives, Until we meet again.

Always loved, never forgotten Sister Joyce Laming and Ron Brother Preston Laming and Kay

ADAMS, Wayne – In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who left us one year ago, September 6, 2017.

God looked around his garden, And found an empty place, He then looked down upon this earth, And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you.

And lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw that the road was getting rough.

And the hills are hard to climb, So he closed your weary eyelids, And whispered, “Peace be thine”.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Missing you and loving you forever Judy and family ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dad/Grandpa In tears we saw you suffer, We watched you fade away, Dad, our hearts were breaking, But we could not have you stay.

Those who have a father, Love him while you may, For God decided mine Was too ill to stay.

Missing you and loving you forever Derek and Lorrie Darren Karson, Keelan, Chance and Chasetan
