EXPANSION WILL ADD 14 BEDS Continued from page 1

nouncement of provincial funding to upgrade the Country Street facility owned by OMNI Health Care, from 82 to 96 beds, was made. The original home opened in 1981.

According to G architects partner Matt Galvin, the project will unfold in three phases, beginning with a two-storey addition at the rear of the property and continuing with renovations to the existing building to modernize the space.

"We're building an addition that's about the same size as the existing building, but it's not going to hugely increase traffic, deliveries or anything like that or the number of people living on the site," he explained. "It's really just providing about double the amount of space per person for the residents who

live there."

The upper level of the addition will connect to the existing facility, with a lower level to be built at grade. Galvin said the new structure will have a flat roof, that he expects will be shorter than the townhouses in behind the property. Once the project is completed, the home will be structured as three neighbourhoods of 32 residents each with 60 per cent as private rooms and 40 per cent as two-person rooms.

OMNI Health Care chief executive officer Patrick McCarthy and Galvin said the design was created in a way to be respectful to neighbouring residents, while also following Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care guidelines.

Though Mississippi Mills bylaws allow building to take place up to five metres from the property line, this design leaves a 60-metre

buffer from the line which will include a row of trees separating the home from surrounding residences.

While residents in attendance were pleased to see the community receiving more long-term care beds, some were concerned about the impact on property values, increased traffic, noise disturbance during construction and privacy.

"I think it looks good and I think it's good for the community, but when we purchased our homes, this was never on the horizon," Lacey Webb told this newspaper.

Homeowner Greg Anderson took issue with the fact that only one design was being presented for the public to review.

"Why is there only one option at the pre-consultation stage? There should be two or three designs where the town can say what the

better option is. At this meeting, they're saying this is what's happening and we're being nice enough to let you know."

Galvin pointed out that current operations at the facility won't change much once the addition is constructed.

"A lot of the way the site works is actually going to remain the same," he said.

"The current loading area is where the new loading area will be, the current front entrance will remain the front entrance and the access and staff parking lot will remain a staff parking lot."

If the site plan application is approved by Mississippi Mills, Galvin said construction on the addition is anticipated to start this fall. After that, all but 18 of the residents will move into the addition, while half of the existing home is retrofitted. The

third phase will see the other half renovated. Everything has to be completed by December 2022.

"The whole home is going to be brought up to the same level of finish," Galvin stated.

Almonte Country Haven administrator Carolyn Della Forestra said staff, residents and their families are excited for the project to get started.

"For the resident population, this is going to be a much more equitable home ... We're incredibly excited," she said. "There are so many great things about the design and it will improve our ability to provide the exceptional care we already do, but at a different level."

"I've worked for OMNI since 1991 and they're incredibly communityminded ... we're trying to be good neighbours and al-

THE ISSUE: ALMONTE COUNTRY HAVEN LONG-TERM CARE HOME IS ADDING 14 BEDS LOCAL IMPACT: 14 MORE RESIDENTS WILL RECEIVE CARE BUT NEIGHBOURING RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACTS TO THEIR PROPERTIES ways have been," she added.

The funding is part of a plan established by the Ontario government in 2014 to establish 30,000 long-term care beds in the province by 2025.

This newspaper has been following the story since provincial funding for a 14-bed addition was announced for Almonte Country Haven May 3, 2018. The expansion will have an impact on seniors and neighbouring residents in the community.

HEART JAM DOESN'T SKIP A BEAT TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com It never fails. The music gets the dance floor moving.

The annual Ron & Jeff McMunn Heart Jam came to the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) in Carleton Place on Feb. 3.

The event, a fundraiser for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, had a capacity crowd.

The Heart Jam pays

tribute to Ron and Jeff McMunn - father and son.

Ron, nicknamed The Silver Fox, was well known in the area for his music, and he was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (OVCMHF) in 1986. Ron passed away in July 2007 from pancreatic cancer. Jeff died from a heart condition in December 2016. He and his brother, Jamie McMunn, played shows and special productions throughout the area for 25-plus years.

Charlie Kitts, a 2010 OVCMHF inductee, is the Heart Jam's longtime MC. He is also a member of the organizing committee, alongside Bob White, Jerry Flynn, Lee Hodgkinson and Judi Moffatt-Hill.

Before the show began, Kitts noted: "We lost a good friend a week ago. Bob Bennett was a mainstay of this event."

On behalf of everyone involved with the Heart Jam, Kitts offered sincere condolences to the Bennett family, to the Carleton Place & District Civitan Club.

Bennett, a past Carleton Place Citizen of the Year,

On Sunday, the Civitan club operated a 50/50 draw, something it has done for years.

Between 2 and 8 p.m., a great lineup of performers took the stage: Jamie, Harry Adrain, Gord Barnes, Andy Bowes, Rod Bowes, Dave Brown, George Chenier Sr., Glenn Desjardins, Cashmen Ford, Lauren Hall, Arnold Trudeau and

Sweethearts of the Valley (Laurie Laporte-Piticco, Maureen Young and Moffatt-Hill).

"We had a couple of cancellations because of the weather," Kitts said.

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute is a world-class health centre, providing life saving care to cardiac patients.

The Heart Jam raised $7,500 in 2018.

According to White,

Sunday's total is approximately $7,500.

"The Civitan 50/50 draw was $600," he added.

The service club donat-

The funds were from the Civitan's bingo nights (Tuesdays) in January.

JERRY FLYNN RECEIVES 2018 PRESIDENT'S AWARD TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Jerry Flynn is the recipient of the 2018 President's Award, presented by the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce.

The President's Award is an important part of the chamber's annual general meeting (AGM).

The 2019 AGM took place over breakfast at the Mississippi Golf Club on Jan. 30.

Board chair Jamie Law was tasked with selecting an individual who made invaluable contributions to the chamber as a volunteer during the previous year.

"Unfortunately, the winner is not here today," Law told the audience of 70-plus people.

Before naming Flynn, Law teased: "Everyone in this room knows this person. He is an outstanding individual who puts every-

one else before himself."

Flynn, former deputy mayor of Carleton Place, was council's representative on the chamber board for eight years.

"He was pretty much at every event, always volunteering," Law stressed, and "he sat on many committees."

The board chair added, "He is the nicest person I have ever met in my life."

Law's selection earned applause from the crowd.

Previous recipients of the President's Award include Liz Taylor of Carleton Place Terrace, Lori Cavanagh of Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited, Dave Hands of Small Business Consulting, Angela Beazley of Rental Village, Jackie Kavanagh of the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce, Dawn Lanouette of Collins Barrow Chartered Accountants, former

councillor and chamber director Gerald Kirby and Lesley Musker of 53 Colours.

The Canadian Gazette reached out to Flynn for comment regarding his award.

"I find myself, once again, humbled, being chosen as the recipient of the chamber's President's Award," he said.

"I am honoured to receive this award."

Flynn cherished his time with the chamber, as council's representative on the board, and it was "during a period of significant growth and strong leadership."

"The chamber has established itself as a true voice for business in Carleton Place, and my position with the organization is something I will miss," Flynn noted.

Owing to a competent and engaged staff and board, the chamber "will continue to do great things to benefit the business climate in our community," Flynn said.

"Thank you to the chamber for its belief in me."

MISSISSIPPI MILLS LIBRARY BOARD CHAIR RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS AWARD TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The Ontario Library Association (OLA) has recognized Mary Lou Souter of Almonte.

Souter accepted the group's 2019 President's Award for Exceptional Achievement on Saturday night, Feb. 2, during a gathering at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The award, according to the OLA, acknowledges an outstanding action or contribution that has in a major or unique way enhanced or furthered librarianship in Ontario.

OLA president Kerry Badgley presented Souter with the award.

"She is receiving this award because of her commitment to her local public library and libraries in general," Badgley stated.

Souter has served on the Mississippi Mills Public Library (MMPL) board for 20-plus years, most recently in the role of chair.

"She has been a tireless advocate for strong board governance throughout her tenure," Badgley noted. "She actively engages with provincial organizations, resulting in a well-functioning board that enjoys good relations with the community," in addition to the library's chief executive officer/chief librarian.

Among Souter's many accomplishments: successful grant application, resulting in the Almonte branch receiving Ontario Trillium Foundation funding in 2013; assisted in obtaining funding for the Pakenham branch's space needs assessment; contributed to grant application for expansion of the Pakenham branch and spearheaded fundraising efforts; works closely with municipal staff to leverage the position of the library with council and the community; and works tirelessly to promote the MMPL. "Mary Lou has consistently demonstrated the importance of the library to council and the community," Badgley said. "Any municipality in this province

would be fortunate and proud to have such a strong library promoter on their respective boards."

Regarding her win, Souter commented: "I am very proud and humbled by this honour. Since I have just retired, getting this award was an excellent climax to my volunteer library career."

Souter accepted the award on behalf of MMPL's board and staff.

During the past six years, "we have made significant improvements to our building, program and policies," she said.

"That was not me; that was teamwork."

Souter thanked Mississippi Mills council and municipal staff for their support of the library system.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEART February is heart month. The Ottawa Heart Institute (OHI) was in Lanark County recently where they spoke to the Smiths Falls Rotary Club about how their donation of $25,000 will be used at their state-of-the-art facility.

The Heart Institute's largest fundraising campaign of $83 million was launched in 2012. In this campaign, the Heart Institute is also raising $2 million for research.

Today, the OHI is in the top three percentile of excellence in all research in the world, which includes cancer, Alzheimer's disease, or Parkinson's disease research, noted the foundation's vice president Brenda Rothwell.

The second initiative is the Canada Women's Hearth Health Centre (CWHHC) - the first of which that has been established at the OHI. The whole idea of treating women's hearts, which are much smaller than men's hearts, has changed. Functionally, the woman's heart is much different. Arteries are smaller, and as a result there is a higher percentage of clogged arteries, blood clots and plaque blockages.

The entire treatment of a women's heart has been altered and changed over the years, Rothwell noted.

In the world, the CWHHC is the best in the world, and $4 million has been earmarked for this facility as well.

"We are certainly fortunate to have a world class heart institute in our backyard," she said.

Elizabeth Rodgers is the director of philanthropy of the foundation. The campaign was started to fund the new cardiac care tower, which was completed in April 2018. It provides an additional 145,000 square feet with six new operating rooms, and room for an additional 27 beds.

"This is where your wonderful donations come in," Rodgers said.

Every piece of equipment, like the robotic da Vinci, which can perform minimally invasive surgical procedures in the critical care tower, was purchased with community donations.

"We are in the home stretch of this campaign, now more than ever donations are vital to purchasing the equipment we need. Your $25,000 gift will go directly to purchasing equipment for the new tower."

Last year, 5,199 visits to the Heart Institute were from patients who live in the Smiths Falls/Rideau Lakes area. Over 53 per cent of them had diagnostic testing and 34 per cent experienced open-heart surgery and other life-saving procedures.

From Leeds Grenville, there were 1,963 visits; 61 per cent for diagnostic testing and 39 per cent openheart and other surgery; and from Renfrew County, 4,904 visits last year; 63 per cent for diagnostic testing and 44 per cent for open-heart and other surgery.

The donations received from the Ottawa Valley and beyond will touch someone's heart - literally.

2019 COUNTY BUDGET REFLECTS 2.2 PER CENT TAX INCREASE ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com With a focus on core services, Lanark County council passed its 2019 budget Jan. 30, which brings with it a 2.2 per cent tax increase.

Budget deliberations took place over a daylong special session of the corporate services committee Jan. 18 at the county administration building in Perth. This year's budget sees an increase of 3.8 per cent, accounting for a 1.6 per cent rise in growth. A sum of $34,619,957 will be collected from taxpayers, up from $33.4 million in 2018, and gross expenditures top $91.1 million.

Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) commended staff, led by chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves, for their hard work on the document. He led a round of applause following the budget's passing Jan. 30.

"I think we should congratulate staff for getting us through the budget process. I feel really good about the budget and the decisions we made during the budget process," he remarked.

"I thank Kurt, Jennie (Bingley, treasurer/manager of corporate services) and chair John Fenik for keeping us in line."

Public works makes up the largest percentage of the budget at 39 per cent. The county maintains a road network of 562 kilometres. Emergency/health services, including the paramedic service, follows behind at 21 per cent and social services accounts for 18 per cent.

During the Jan. 18 meeting, Greaves indicated there were several challenges to this year's budget, including maintaining a low tax rate, infrastructure deficit, taxpayer expectations versus service levels, as well as services downloaded to the county without proper funding.

This

The province's $321 billion debt and $15 billion deficit is an area to which the county will be paying close attention. Greaves said while provincial debt is $23,000 per capita, Lanark County has worked hard to get its long-term debt level down to $67 per capita. He pointed out there is no new debt for 2019 and there hasn't been any for the county since 2010.

"Financial sustainability remains the number 1 goal of county council and staff," Greaves noted in a news release. "The 2019 budget is a response to increased demand for service in social housing, longterm care and public works."

In a departure from past practices, this budget includes a commitment to $350,000 in capital funding for the four hospitals in Lanark County - Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital ($100,000 for the Great War Memorial site and $50,000 for Smiths Falls), Carleton Place &

Can Become...

District Memorial Hospital ($100,000) and Almonte General Hospital ($100,000). The monies have been set aside in a reserve until June 30 so council can set criteria for the funding.

Other highlights of the 2019 budget include adding more front-line staff to the countyowned Lanark Lodge long-term care residence, as well as a 20unit social housing apartment building. Public works is also set to add a full-time construction technologist to its staff.

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) project to increase cell coverage remains a priority for the county and the budget also reflects plans for a revamped county website and council sound system. The replacement of the Baird Trail boardwalk will also be completed this year and three cordless cutters and extraction tools for rescue services are to be purchased. Funding for the EORN and social housing projects will be self-financed by the county through reserves.

Based on the 1.6 per cent of growth over 2018, taxpayers with an assessed property of $300,000 should see a $24 increase in the county portion of their taxes.

On Feb. 9, author Ted Barris will be at Mill Street Books signing his latest book Dam Busters: Canadian Airmen and the Secret Raid against Nazi Germany.

Based on personal accounts, flight logs, maps and photographs of the Canadians involved, Dam Busters recounts a legendary mission to destroy the hydroelectric dams along the Ruhr River during the Second World War. It was a night that changed the Second World War. The secret raid against the hydroelectric dams of Germany's Ruhr River took years to plan, involved an untried bomb, and included the best aircrews Allied Bomber Command could muster - many of them Canadian. The raid marked the first time the Allies tactically took the war inside Nazi Germany.

The Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE hosted its annual fundraising bonspiel at the Carleton Place Curling Club on Feb. 2.

"It is our 21st year," member Hilda Docker confirmed to the Canadian Gazette.

IODE stands for Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, and the Captain Hooper chapter brings together women from Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and the surrounding area. Members, from all walks of life and age groups, experience personal growth, networking opportunities, companionship and support as they assist with the chapter's centre of focus: children, youth and those in need.

The IODE was founded in 1900 by Margaret Polson Murray of Montreal. She recognized a need for loyal support for Canadians departing to fight with the Empire forces in South Africa.

The Carleton Place chapter is named for Captain William Henry Vickers Hooper. After serving in the Boar War, he moved to Carleton Place where he met his wife, Mable McNeely. After the First World War broke out in 1914, Hooper returned to service, leading the first group of Carleton Place soldiers overseas. He spent 18 months as a prisoner of war in Heidelberg, Germany. Following the war, Hooper was Carleton Place's postmaster

CELEBRATING 200 YEARS OF COMMUNITY IN CARLETON PLACE TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum curator Jennifer Irwin was the invited guest presenter at the annual general meeting of the Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association - held at the Carleton Place Canoe Club on Jan. 14.

"I have been with the museum since 2011," she told everyone, and "it continues to astound me I have been there so long."

"I was asked to speak tonight because I am also a member of the Carleton Place 200 committee," Irwin continued.

She noted: "Carleton Place is celebrating 200 years in 2019; however, Carleton Place is not 200 years old. In 1819, it was the first year people came here and settled here. We are celebrating 200 years of community."

The Carleton Place 200 committee has worked tirelessly to create a year-long party.

"The main highlight is

Tara Gesner/Metroland Jennifer Irwin, the curator at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum, was the guest speaker at the Downtown Carleton Place Business Improvement Association annual general meeting on Jan. 14. She talked about the history of Carleton Place. the Come Home to Carleton Place week of celebration, with a number of exciting events planned between July 26 and Aug. 4," Irwin stated.

The events are as follows: Carleton Place Trivia Night at the Neelin Street Community Centre (are-

na), July 26; Celebration Concert at Riverside Park, July 27; The Great Carleton Place Amazing Race at the Market Square Pavilion, July 28; Monster Bingo at the arena, July 30; Celebration Parade on Bridge Street, Aug. 1; Classic Car Parade and Street Dance

on Mill Street, Aug. 2; Photo Booth at Bridge Street Summer Fest, Aug. 3; and Picnic in the Park at Riverside Park, Aug. 4.

"Additional Carleton Place 200 activities will be taking place all year long," Irwin said, and "the museum is also hosting a num-

ber of events."

"The BIA (business improvement association) will play a large role in the town's celebrations, as many of the events are happening downtown," she noted.

During dessert, the museum's curator provided

annual general meeting (AGM) guests with a history of Carleton Place.

"After the War of 1812, Britain felt it needed to populate this area," Irwin explained. "They wanted settlers here just in case we were invaded by the Americans again."

As a colony of Great Britain, Canada was swept up in the War of 1812 and was invaded several times by the Americans. The war was fought in Upper Canada, Lower Canada, on the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, as well as the United States.

Beckwith Township was settled in 1816, with the first land grants issued to what is now known as Carleton Place in 1819. Land grants were issued to the Morphy family. They came from Tipperary, Ireland. Edmund Murphy and his three adult sons were each given 100 acres.

"They lucked out, getting both sides of the Mississippi River, and they were pleased to find the rapids were there too," IrSee MANY, page 29

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland Laurie Weir (right) and her "little," Keira Sauve, prepare for their match at Gratton Bowling Lanes in Smiths Falls on Saturday, Feb. 24 during the last year's annual Bowl for Kids Sake fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. This year’s fundraiser is set for Feb. 23.

BOWL FOR KIDS SAKE TAKES PLACE FEB. 23 Have you made a New Year's resolution to have a better impact on your community? It is as easy as changing your shoes!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is excited to once again be partnering with the local Tim Hortons restaurants for the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event on Feb. 23.

Last year this event raised over $90,000, with more than 850 bowlers coming out to support the event. Title and corporate sponsors ensure that all funds raised through event pledges go directly to fund mentoring programs right here in Lanark County.

Changing a child's life is as easy as changing your shoes!

The event is a straight forward fundraiser - interested participants can call the Big Brothers Big Sisters office and register their group. Each team receives a kit that includes pledge sheets, and is encouraged to raise funds to support the agency's mentoring programs.

Teams book a lane through the agency and

then come out and bowl at one of three locations generously supporting the fundraiser: Chasin' Turkeys Bowling Alley in Carleton Place, the Perth Civitan Club and Gratton Lanes in Smiths Falls.

Don't worry if you're not a bowler - it's a fun time where neighbours come together for a great cause!

Remember - It's not about the bowling!

New traditions have started in recent years, with Nintendo Wii bowling now being the format in Perth. Live music there adds to the fun, showcasing up and coming local young musicians. Nintendo Wii bowling is great for seniors groups, young children and everyone in between!

The music adds a lot of fun to the atmosphere - be sure to try it this year!

Traditional bowling happens in Smiths Falls and Carleton Place; it's a fun way to reconnect with friends, family or co-workers and enjoy a great hour of fun.

Your team can be as small as two people or as large as your whole compa-

ny or large family. There is no minimum amount to raise. There is room for everyone, and every dollar matters.

For teams participating in Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake, funds can also be raised online, which makes asking for money a whole lot easier!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is a not for profit volunteer driven organization which helps children develop to their unique potential through consistent, dependable and unconditional adult friendship. The agency has been a part of the Lanark County community for more than 44 years. Over that time thousands of children have seen the benefit of a caring adult; someone to share their lives with, someone that they can confide in and look up to.

Local corporations have covered all the overhead costs of the event, which means that all funds raised by teams go directly to fund mentoring programs for local children.

For more information about getting involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County or participating in the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake, please contact the agency office at 613-283-0570 or visit www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca.

LOCAL BEEKEEPER JOINS FIGHT TO END BEE-HARMING PESTICIDES DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com A Carleton Place beekeeper was part of a campaign to call for an immediate end to certain pesticides, which took its message to Parliament Hill this past December.

Paul Lacelle, who runs Lacelle's Apiary and Beekeeping Supplies, and who sits on the Ontario Beekeepers' Association's board of directors, told members of the Lanark County Beekeepers' Association that "we all know we're having a problem with neonicotinoid insecticides," he said. ("Neo Nics," as Lacelle called them for short, are insecticides designed to kill insects. But the insecticides are "highly toxic to bees and become even more toxic

as seed coatings," according to Lacelle's presentation notes.)

Lacelle was part of a larger delegation of beekeepers from Ontario and Quebec who went to Parliament Hill from Dec. 5 to 7, 2018, in part because "this is a good time do it, because election time is coming up," with a federal vote on Oct. 21, he said during the LCBA's winter meeting at the Brunton Community Hall, in Blacks Corners, Beckwith Township.

The delegation met with Agriculture Canada and MPs from the major parties.

"We have the science," he said.

He is concerned that if these types of pesticides continue to be used, "there will be no bees left ...

The neonicotinoids are affecting bees."

Desmond Devoy/Metroland Paul Lacelle, who runs Lacelle's Apiary and Beekeeping Supplies in Carleton Place, and sits on the Ontario Beekeepers Association's board of directors, speaks with a fellow Lanark County Beekeepers' Association memeber at the LCBA's winter meeting on Thursday, Jan. 30, at the Brunton Community Hall, Blacks Corners, Beckwith Township.

Specifically, Lacelle would like to see the immediate cancellation of all outdoor uses of "neo nics" on food and feed crops.

While some MPs appeared to be onside, after meeting with the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), which is part of Health Canada, he felt that "they

were not on our side."

According to his notes, the agency is "proposing to delay regulatory action until 2022-2023 at the earliest," and the agency "considers risks to insect pollinators to be acceptable for field crops, even though these uses are now banned in France and the

European Union because of risks to bees."

By the numbers By the numbers, there have been high levels of "overwinter loses," in both provinces: See IMMEDIATE, page 18

IMMEDIATE END TO CERTAIN PESTICIDES SOUGHT Continued from page 17

• 45.7 per cent overwinter losses in Ontario.

• 30.3 per cent overwinter losses in Quebec.

• The threshold for "acceptable" overwinter losses in either province? 15 per cent.

While not all of this can be pinned on "neo nics," Lacelle did say that the pesticides did contribute to the high losses.

Bee colonies in Ontario and Quebec are exposed to a lot of pesticides via seed treatments on corn and soy. Taken together, according to Lacelle's data, provided to the Canadian government: • Both Ontario and Quebec represent 92 per cent of corn, and 62 per cent of soy grown in Canada.

• In Ontario, 75 per cent of corn and 50 per cent of soy are still being treated with "neo nic" pesticides.

Desmond Devoy/Metroland Shelley Neilson, president of the Lanark County Beekeepers Association, holds up a beekeeping tool during her opening remarks at the association's winter meeting on Jan. 31 in Beckwith.

• The commercial value of bees to the pollination of crops in Canada is estimated at more than $2 billion annually, with food securi-

ty dependant on a healthy population of pollinators.

• Nearly 3,500 Ontario beekeepers manager more than 100,0000 hone bee colo-

nies.

• Honey generates about $20 million in annual sales.

• Pollination from bees contribute about $900 million in sales of agricultural crops grown in Ontario.

• More than 13 per cent of Ontario's total annual crop value depends on honey bees and bumble bees.

In an interesting wrinkle in his story, Lacelle told the audience that he is teaching inmates at the Joyceville and Collins Bay prisons in the Kingston area how to beekeep, and that Joyceville will soon be getting five hives.

And another federal institution that will be getting bee hives? Ironically, Parliament Hill, according to Lacelle.(The Hill Times reports that there are plans for hives atop the Government Conference Centre, which will be home to the Canadian Senate for the next decade as renovations

take place on Parliament Hill up the road.)

Pest management reply In an email exchange with Maryse Durette, a senior media relations adviser with Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada on Friday, Feb. 1, Durette wrote that under the Pest Control Products Act, the PMRA "has an obligation to evaluate pesticides on a cyclical basis. As the re-evaluation of neonic pesticides ... progressed, it was apparent that there were potential risks to bees and other pollinators. In addition, risks to aquatic environments were identified." The agency "proposed to phase out most uses of these three neonic pesticides," she wrote, specifically, imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam, by name. The agency launched consultations, and after the information

"The neonicotinoids are affecting bees."

– Paul Lacelle, owner, Lacelle's Apiary and Beekeeping Supplies, Carleton Place

gathered is digested, "we anticipate making a final decision on the measures to protect pollinators this spring and decisions to protect aquatic environments later this year."

In January 2019, the agency published an "Update on Canadian Bee Incident Reports 2012-2016," which "contains a summary of pollinator incidents that have been reported to potentially be associated with," the three abovementioned pesticides.

OPINION

ILL-FATED SINGERS LIVE ON THROUGH THEIR MUSIC JEFF MAGUIRE REFLECTS ON THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED 60 YEARS AGO JEFF MAGUIRE Column

It was a terrible event that is immortalized in Don McLean's mournful 1971 song, American Pie. Because of the song Feb. 3, 1959 is now universally

known as "The Day the Music Died."

This past weekend at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa concerts were staged to pay tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson Jr., better known as "The Big Bopper." The popular young singers died 60 years ago this past Sunday when the light aircraft hired to fly them to their next concert slammed into a snowy Iowa cornfield.

Local pilot Roger Peterson, 21, also perished.

Holly, 22, Valens (he was just 17) and Richardson, 28, were taking part in a gruelling tour of auditoriums and ball rooms across the American Midwest.

Many people will remember Holly (his given name was Charles Hardin Holley - with an E) as the featured singer in front of a band called 'The Crickets'. Holly ended his association with the Crickets in the fall of 1958. Early in 1959 the prolific young songwriter from Lubbock, Texas decided to promote his growing music catalogue by joining what was called "The Winter Dance Party."

The tour was scheduled to visit 24 communities in as many days but driving long distances on buses in mid-winter led to numerous problems.

Prior to their show on Monday, Feb. 2 in Clear Lake Holly chartered a

light plane to fly him and two others from the tour to their next concert site in Minnesota. Through an odd chain of circumstances Valens and Richardson ended up being the other passengers.

With Peterson at the controls the small plane departed from the airport in nearby Mason City at 12:55 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3. They didn't get far! The light plane plummeted to earth some six miles (9.7 kilometres) from the airport. When the aircraft failed to arrive at its destination a daylight aerial search was mounted. The wreckage was quickly located.

All four occupants had died instantly.

Three young lives cut

so tragically short! Yet their legacies live on in their truly incredible music. Buddy Holly's popular songs including Peggy Sue, Oh Boy, Not Fade Away, Words of Love, That'll be the Day and Heartbeat have been covered by many artists including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Who can forget the contributions of Los Angeles-born, MexicanAmerican singer Ritchie Valens including La Bamba (also the title of a 1987 film about his life).

Jiles Perry (J.P.) Richardson Jr. was a native of Port Arthur, Texas. He was a disc jockey in nearby Beaumont when he launched his second career as a singer-songwriter. It's his exaggerated, flirting phone call with a girlfriend in his biggest hit Chantilly Lace which immortalized the Big Bopper.

There's no question it is Holly's music which continues to have the biggest impact. He recorded a huge catalogue of songs in a very short time, a

musical gift which continues to win him fans to this day.

I was just six years old when he died. But later in life, as my musical interest grew, I became a big fan of Buddy Holly. We have several of his recordings on both vinyl and compact discs. One of them is a tribute CD which also includes Valens' and Richardson's biggest hits. I treasure that recording.

My four-year-old granddaughter Lily has danced to those songs which to me emphasizes that the music did not die six decades ago this week in rural Iowa. The songs of those three talented entertainers live on and continue to make people happy to this day!

Are you looking for a new game? We are looking for you - to come out and learn the game of euchre!

On Tuesdays in March (excluding March break), a group of talented euchre veterans will play six-hand euchre with you, give you tips, and help you unlock your natural ability. You will learn the game and get really good at it. Then - if you like - you'll be ready to join in the competitive euchre games that are played in community centres and church basements all over the Ottawa Valley - or have some fun with your friends at home, school or the youth centre. Euchre is part of our culture. It's in our DNA! It's great for your brain and it's fun!

To learn more, and to let us know you want to attend, please contact Sara Fortin by Feb. 28 at the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre, 613-256-5959, or by email at coordinator.mmyc@gmail.com.

Our plan is to play euchre at the youth centre, 134 Main Street East, Almonte from 4 to 6 p.m. on three Tuesdays in the month of March - March 5, 19 and 26 - and we predict it will catch on and continue into April. Get your name on the list soon!

This program is a Forever Young! project activity funded by United Way Lanark County and brought to you by Mills Community Support and Mississippi Mills Youth Centre.

OPINION

NOTHING BETTER THAN A SLIDE DOWN THE WEST HILL IN WINTER FATHER'S HANDMADE TOBOGGAN WAS PERFECT, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

Standing at the window in the upstairs hall, which served as Audrey's and my bedroom, I could see for miles across the barnyard and all the way over to the West Hill. It had snowed all day, then rained slightly, and now the full moon hung in the sky like a huge dinner plate - making the night bright and clear as a bell.

The bed of snow looked like millions of diamonds, and the night had turned blistering cold; and I knew that would cement the snow, forming a solid crust that you could walk on.

This meant the West Hill would be perfect for sliding, using our collection of makeshift apparatuses kept in the drive shed for just such a venture. Tomorrow was Sunday, and that meant that after church, we would head to the West Hill for an afternoon of sheer joy - I went to sleep dreaming of what awaited us after dinner the next day.

It didn't take us long to redd up the kitchen, get on our heavy winter clothes, and head for the drive shed. Everett said that

there would be no use in taking the little handmade sleigh - the runners would cut right through the snow coming down the hill.

We would have to rely on the toboggan Father made, and whatever else we could find to send us careening down the hill.

We had a big cardboard box that came from Briscoe's General Store, and an old battered fender Father brought home from Thacker's Garage in Renfrew. It was just a shade better than the one hanging over the front tire of the old Model T Ford, but Father never got around to the job of replacing the one that hung by a thread - and wasn't even the same colour as the rest of the car.

Emerson said it would be perfect for sliding down

the West Hill. It always amazed me how the snow could change from being soft and fluffy, to being hard and crusty in just a few hours.

Emerson only broke through the snow-crust a couple of times, but the rest of us slipped and slid our way from the barnyard down to the Bonnecherre, and then to the bottom of the hill. I had no explanation for it, but you could walk around to the back of the hill and be right at the top without putting in the effort to climb it. And that's where the five of us ended up ... on the top of the hill with our collection of makeshift 'sliders.'

I was too scared to climb in the cardboard box, which was so big you

couldn't see out once you were inside - but my three brothers, frightened of nothing, were soon fighting to claim the first run down. Naturally, Emerson won. I was terrified he would end up in the river, but he had cut a peep hole in the front of the box and knew when to roll over, missing the river bank by a scant couple of feet.

How they ever managed to use the old fender was beyond me, but two were able to sit in it at one time, and they too careened down the West Hill like a bullet. They had to pick a different part of the hill each time the fender was used, because it made cuts in the crust.

Audrey and I settled for the handmade toboggan; I refused to sit in the front, but chose to sit behind Audrey with my arms wrapped tight around her waist, as we barrelled down the hill. We'd have stayed on the hill until dark if Father hadn't come out behind the barn and used the cowbells the tell us it was time to head

home. Chores awaited us.

It was a challenge for me to keep my eyes open while eating my supper.

Tired beyond words from the hours spent on the West Hill with the simplest of playthings, I crawled upstairs to bed long before anyone else.

And I thought, just before I fell asleep, how blessed we were: my cousins could rave all they wanted about street cars, and all the joys of living in a city. To me, nothing could compare with a day spent sliding down the West Hill in the backwoods of Renfrew County.

David was born in Southampton, England and joined the Royal Navy. He became a top photographer in the Fleet Air Arm, responsible for covering Royal visits and where his coverage of aircraft carrier take-offs and landings were shown to pilots and photographers in training. Posted to Scotland he met his future wife, a member of the Women’s Royal Naval Service. They returned to the south of England to be married and soon after the birth of their daughter Anna, they emigrated to Canada to be close to his older sister Gloria who greatly mourns his loss along with his English sisters Julia and Christine and brother Geoffrey. Other grieving family members include his daughter Debra, her two children Jennifer and Michael and Anna’s children Matthew and Rebecca who have both been of great help at this sad time. Rebecca has one child, Joseph; and Matthew has two young children, Jordan and Skye and takes care of the family cottage on Black Lake, near Perth where David and Betty retired until David’s health problems took them to the Perley Rideau Veterans Centre. During his time in Perth, David was an active member of the Kiwanis Club (President 1998-1999) as well as the Perth Royal Canadian legion.

There will be a Memorial Service in the spring and a tree will be planted in his ashes at their cottage, and Betty’s too when the time comes, since they shared a great love of nature. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society would be appreciated.

TURNER-PARKINSON Lili Violet

I regretfully announce the passing of Lili Violet Turner-Parkinson on January 30, 2019. Lili was the 3rd child of seven and was born in Carleton Place, Ontario in the summer of 1924. Her father Harold George Turner was a renowned owner of a blacksmith shop. He also was a Farrier Sergeant in the Canadian Horse Artillery in WWI. Her mother May Blanche Turner (Grove) was an active working mother. When Lili was about 3 years old, the family moved to North Bay, Ontario.

Lili recounted happy memories of a big house, a lovely school, and her singing in choirs. Lili has fond memories of taking the train from North Bay to Carleton Place and walking to 24 Queen Street where her grandparents George and Maude Turner lived. She had lovely memories swimming in the Mississippi with her cousins and family. When Lili was 10 years old her family boarded the Empress of Britain ship to London, England where her parents took over a family business. Lili was 14 years old when she secured her first job as a book-keeper. The fear of the impending WWII, Lili’s family sailed to Jersey, Channel Islands and desperate times followed under 5 years of German occupation. Lili endured her teen life in fear as well as improving her education, her singing voice, and her tap dancing. She had many performances. Lili spoke of her life in Jersey with love. After the war, Lili and one of her sisters returned to London where they joined the Women’s Transport Services of Britain and the Field Ambulance Nursing Yeomanry. Lili continued her singing at Trinity College of Music winning a Scholarship. Lili said that her time there was a wonderful event of her life. Returning to Montreal with the same sister, Lili was 20 years old, and she chose a career in the legal secretarial field. Her family followed Lili returning to Canada in 1949. Marrying the wrong man, Lili and her husband moved to Sarnia, Ontario and had her son, Don-Roger Parkinson (1952) and her daughter, Holly Carol Parkinson (1959). Moving several times around Southern Ontario for the next 20 years, Lili finally divorced and enjoyed her children and her financially successful Legal Secretary/Law Clerk career until she retired when she was 62 years old. Lili, Don-Roger, and Holly were a happy threesome who travelled extensively. Lili’s children were well educated and earned their PhDs: Don-Roger in Chemistry and Holly Carol in Education. After retiring, Lili became a winner in Lawn Bowling around Southern and Western Ontario for the next 20 years. Lili was very athletic with poise and grace throughout her life which included tap dancing, aqua fit, skiing and walking until her knees gave out. Lili had beautiful big green eyes and lovely young skin. She sang all her life with her soprano voice in many choirs and volunteered with several church groups in the Anglican Diocese. Lili sewed, knitted, and embroidered throughout her life and was very proficient. Lili recently lost her dear son DonRoger Parkinson which resulted in breaking her heart. Lili is survived by her daughter, Holly Carol Parkinson who cared for her the last 10 years of her life. She will be greatly missed by friends and family who are still alive. Thank you to all the nurses and personal support workers who cared for Lili in the last years of her life. Thank you to Almonte Hospital who cared for Lili and Holly Carol the last 5 days of Lili’s life. Lili’s funeral, burial service and Tea Party to follow will take place in May 2019 at St James Anglican Church. Lili will then be buried at a Turner family plot in the St James Anglican Cemetery in Carleton Place, Ontario. Donations in memory of Lili Violet Turner-Parkinson are to be for St. James Anglican Church.

Steven Desjardins 1949 - 2018

TOM BARR August 15, 1990 - February 5, 2018 It has been one year since Tom’s passing.

The blow was great, the shock severe, Only those that have lost can tell, The sorrow of parting without farewell.

It has been a year of disbelief, sadness and emptiness, And to those who knew him and loved him, His memory will never grow cold.

Love you Jordan, Mom Steve, Jake and Ashley

God’s Garden God looked around His garden And He 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 were 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.

Love Ursela

Lianne Vandusen June 10, 1980 - February 10, 2014 Time slips by and life goes on, But from our hearts You’re never gone.

We think about you always, We walk about you too, We have so many memories, But we wish we still had you.

Your loving family

DREAM TEAM

MANY EVENTS PLANNED TO MARK 200TH ANNIVERSARY Continued from page 12

win said. "If you had water power you were doing well."

The growing settlement became known as Morphy's Falls, with a grist mill in operation by 1820.

From Antrim, Ireland, the Moore family came the same year as the Morphy clan. Led by William Moore, the family was allotted adjoining land.

With an abundance of white pine trees, lumber became the area's first industry, and a lot of the wood was sent back to England to make masts for ships.

According to Irwin, members of the Morphy family were on good terms with the area's First Nations people.

Edmund was out hunting ducks on the riverbank one day, coming across a stag. Needing the animal for his family, he shot it. An Aboriginal man came out of the woods soon after, and he was upset because this was his stag. He had been tracking it all day from a very long distance.

"Edmund and this man settled the matter justly for both, establishing a rule to govern in like cases," Irwin said. "They split it in half."

The stag's head would later become Carleton Place's emblem, representing fair play and sharing.

"I love the stag's head," Irwin stated. "We see it on our official crest, on historical panels and on designated properties."

A rendition of the stag's head appears on Carleton Place's flag.

Hoping it will catch on, Irwin has started using the hashtag #bringbackthestag.

The community became known as Carleton Place in 1829.

Alexander Morris, one of the first merchants, chose the name. It was named after a public square in Glasgow, Scotland.

A post office was acquired in 1830, and in 1836 "time began to matter," Irwin said.

"As soon as we had a community ... people had jobs to go to ... residents got together and paid to have a community bell, which rang each day at 5 p.m.," she con-

tinued.

The first railroad arrived in 1859.

David Findlay opened an iron foundry in 1862 - Findlay Foundry, which produced stoves and furnaces for over a century.

Carleton Place was incorporated as a village separate from Beckwith in 1870. Now requiring a council and municipal building, the first town hall was built in 1872 - the building currently housing the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum. It also served as the town's jail.

"The current town hall on Bridge Street opened in 1897," Irwin said.

She called it an important landmark both historically and architecturally.

"We have business directories going back to the 1850s, old insurance maps and post cards, and we have a big collection of storefront interiors.

Store owners should come in and see what we have about their property."

– Jennifer Irwin

"There are no photos of the town hall under construction, which surprises me," Irwin added. "It was a big deal."

With two separate train lines running north/south and east/ west, Carleton Place was considered a railway divisional point by 1884.

"We became a train town, with the population booming," Irwin noted. "There was also an increase in visitors ... we needed

more hotels."

Napoleon Lavallee built the former Mississippi Hotel from Beckwith limestone in 1872, and he sold it to Walter McIlquham in 1883. The property remained in the McIlquham family until 1959, which is when it suffered a devastating fire that destroyed the fourth floor.

The Mississippi Hotel was not Lavallee's first hotel in Carleton Place. He opened Carleton House in 1846 at 224 Bridge St. (now Scott Reid's constituency office).

"Carleton Place had several hotels by 1887," Irwin claimed.

Carleton Place was growing in 1890, which is when it was incorporated as a town.

"We had street lights, and the telephone poles were smack dab in the middle of the road," Irwin said with a laugh.

"One of the problems council was dealing with in 1890 was cattle running at large," she added.

The Carleton Place Canoe Club was formed in 1893, situated along the Mississippi River at Riverside Park.

Bridge Street not only had businesses but a main elementary school - Central School, which was located at the corner of College and Bridge streets (current site of post office).

"It was a fabulous building, and it was torn down in 1962," Irwin noted. "The town sold the property and the funds went toward expanding Caldwell Street Public School."

Run by the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society, the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum has a large collection of local artifacts (10,000plus), and it is home to a growing number of photographs and archival materials relating to local families.

"We have business directories going back to the 1850s, old insurance maps and post cards, and we have a big collection of storefront interiors," Irwin noted. "Store owners should come in and see what we have about their property."

The curator would also love to see storefront awnings make a comeback on Bridge Street.

With a capacity of 20 tons, Central Bridge, the main crossing by the town hall, was erected in 1928

by Ontario Bridge Co. Ltd., a Toronto company. The mayor at the time: W.H. Matthews.

The population of Carleton Place today is approximately 11,000. It continues to grow.

PAKENHAM'S CENTENNIAL RESTAURANT GIVES BACK TO AGH FOUNDATION

Facebook photo Omar Rajab, left, owner of the Centennial Restaurant in Pakenham, and daughter Teya display a $2,100 donation they made to the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation recently.

Omar Rajab, owner of the Centennial Restaurant in Pakenham, was all smiles when he and daughter Teya Rajab handed over a cheque for $2,100 to the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation in early January.

Omar and his family hosted their annual Christmas Eve Breakfast at the restaurant from 7 a.m. to noon. More than 375 people

showed up to enjoy a delicious breakfast, support the long-time Pakenham family's annual fundraiser, and mix and mingle with friends, neighbours, fellow campers and regular patrons.

The Rajabs have owned the restaurant for 25 years and according to Omar, even some of his summer clientele who camp in the area along the beautiful

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!

Mississippi River during the summer, make the trip back to the restaurant on Dec. 24 to support the effort. In total 11 people, mostly Omar's family, helped prepare and serve the food.

"Everyone volunteers their time," said Rajab.

With a buffet style breakfast rather than table service, they can move people through much more quickly so the customers

lined up outside don't have to wait so long. Rajab doesn't charge for breakfast but asks patrons to donate whatever they can.

This year's total is approximately $600 more than last year.

Thanks to the Rajab family, volunteers and patrons who supported local health care close to home and 'put themselves in the picture' for new diagnostic imaging equipment at the Almonte General Hospital.
