CARLETON PLACE TO HONOUR EMPLOYEE WHO DIED AFTER WORK-RELATED INJURY TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com The Town of Carleton Place will honour former public works employee Keith 'Fletch' Lesway who died from a work-related injury.

"It has been thought about very much over the years," director of public works Dave Young said.

Lesway was testing a water main in June 2005 when he was struck in the head by a flying pressure gauge. In June 2007, after just over two years in a coma, he died in hospital.

A presentation by former Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn and Colin Hynes, Lesway's co-worker and

friend, took place during the previous term of council - on Nov. 27, 2018. At the time, Flynn stressed Hynes "has wanted a memorial for 'Fletch' from day one, and he has an idea ... we just need to make it happen."

Hynes was with Lesway when the accident happened. Twelve years ago, he planted a seedling at his residence to remember him.

During the committee of the whole (COW) meeting on Feb. 5, Young told council he met with Flynn and Hynes to discuss the memorial, with the duo "already doing a fair amount of work."

"Keith had an eye for

one particular fire hydrant," Young noted, and "after it was replaced, staff kept it under safe storage."

With the recent talk of a memorial, "we pulled it out and took a look," the director of public works added.

John Bowes of Kinkaid & Loney Monuments Ltd. in Smiths Falls has offered to refurbish the fire hydrant, which includes lettering and etching of a photograph, as well as its delivery and installation.

"It will be part of the memorial," Young said.

Other work is required, including a concrete base for the fire hydrant and the planting of a tree, which "would be a beneficial addition."

Coun. Theresa Fritz, COW chair, inquired about the location for the memorial.

"Is it going to go in the park beside the town hall?" she asked.

"We thought about this location, but then ... just the connection to Keith ... maybe in the vicinity of the water treatment plant," Young said. "Somewhere near Riverside Park."

Tara Gesner/Metroland The Town of Carleton Place will honour former public works employee Keith 'Fletch' Lesway who died from a work-related injury. A memorial is proposed in the vicinity of the municipality's water treatment plant.

Coun. Jeff Atkinson had a question about the proposed dedication date June.

"There is the National Day of Mourning for workers who were killed or injured on the job," he said.

"It is observed (in Canada) on April 28."

Atkinson added, "It is a big deal in the labour movement, and it is also becoming a big deal among the (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) and insurance boards across the country."

He wondered if it would be possible to consider this

day as the date of the dedication.

"We did talk about that; however, there is a conflict ... Colin would not be available, and we were also a little bit concerned about being able to get everything in place to do it in time," Young answered.

Atkinson suggested a rededication of the monument in April 2020.

Council passed two motions on Tuesday night.

The first was to accept Young's report regarding the memorial for Lesway.

Owing to the second motion, the estimated $2,500 for the memorial will be paid from council's promotion budget.

The memorial and base is expected to cost $1,500.

The additional funds would be for the supply and planting of a commemorative tree as well as the promotion of an official unveiling.

"I think this is a very timely and well-thoughtout initiative," Young said.

"It is supported."

He will keep council posted, "as we get closer to a firm date."

MISSISSIPPI MILLS BEGINS PROCESS TO FILL DEPUTY MAYOR SEAT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Mississippi Mills is starting down the road toward filling the vacant council seat, left by the late Deputy Mayor John Levi.

During discussion at Feb. 5's committee of the whole meeting, council declared the seat vacant and chose to appoint longtime Coun. Denzil Ferguson as the interim Lanark County council representative.

"As it stands, Mississippi Mills has the highest weighted vote (11 points per vote); therefore, it is recommended that a current member be temporarily appointed to county council until the deputy mayor vacancy is filled permanently," stated acting clerk Jeanne Harfield.

While Coun.

Bev Holmes threw out Coun.

John Dalgity's name as a

possible choice, Dalgity recommended Ferguson as he has "the most experience."

Ferguson was happy to accept the duties, but only on a temporary basis. "Yes, I will. I'm saddened by the circumstances, but yes I'll accept but only in the interim. I appreciate the confidence that council has in me."

Harfield's report to council also outlined two options for filling the deputy mayor vacancy - an appointment process or a byelection. Either choice must be done within 60 days of the declaration of vacancy.

She said there isn't any legislation in the act that governs the appointment process, but suggested council might follow the 2016 municipal appointment policy.

In a proposed timeline

using the policy, Harfield suggested the new deputy mayor could be in place by April 16.

However, a byelection would be costly ($30,000 based on an estimate from Intelivote) and take a little longer to fill, with the deputy mayor attending their first council meeting on May 19.

"A byelection has costs associated with it that would not be incurred if council chose to appoint a qualified individual to fill the vacancy," she said in her report.

"Even though this option (byelection) is more costly it is arguably the most democratic method to fill a council vacancy."

Council will consider these two options at its Feb. 19 meeting.

"We're not in a rush to make this decision," Mayor Christa Lowry said.

TOWN HAS HIGHEST NEED IN THE COUNTY Continued from front

mand analysis. Of five strategies identified, the need for more affordable housing topped the list.

"Of the county's municipalities, Carleton Place has the highest need for subsidized and affordable housing," Hollington explained.

"Social housing wait times in the town are significantly longer than any other Lanark County community and rental rates are generally highest in the eastern portion of the county."

In fact, Hollington said that based on data from 2011 to 2017, the average wait time for social housing is seven years. To bring that number down, for the 20-unit project she recommended a single-story (so

no elevator is required), energy efficient and accessible building, with 17 onebedroom and three twobedroom units.

They would be a mix of five affordable housing apartments and 15 rent-gearedto-income. A total of $3 million has been earmarked in the 2019 social services budget for the project.

Other strategies to address housing needs are to provide a diverse range of housing choices, revitalize the housing stock currently available, ensure there's an adequate amount of supportive and universal housing, and a public education piece for the community to understand housing needs and provide incentives to developers.

It's no surprise that the

study also shows the population of Lanark County is aging with an average age higher than the provincial average. "The number of children are decreasing and the number of seniors are increasing," Hollington explained. "Household size is decreasing resulting in less large household families."

"The people in our community that are struggling the greatest are people under the age of 64 and the reason for that is due to Canada's strong old age security system," she continued.

Coun.

Doug Black (Carleton Place Mayor) was concerned over the long wait time for Carleton Place. He acknowledged the lack of affordable hous-

ing was a concern he heard frequently on the campaign trail in the fall.

"There's an overwhelming demand for this and it breaks your heart," he said. " ... Mississippi Mills seems to be doing well, along with Perth and Smiths Falls, but what is the explanation for a seven-year wait in Carleton Place? Is there a demographic shift that isn't experienced in other places?"

Hollington said Mississippi Mills' numbers include Pakenham and Clayton, as well as Almonte, which brings down the number. "Almonte probably has a very similar wait list as Carleton Place," she commented. "The growth in Carleton Place is huge and with that comes

growth in other demographics. Although Carleton Place has built a lot of units, we can't keep up to the level of demands in the town."

The county's current social housing stock sits at 754, but with the 20 new units planned for this year, in addition to 15 through the portable housing benefit and four for victims of domestic violence, that number will increase to 788.

Results from the RFP will come back to the com-

munity services committee for discussion. Kevin Wills, the county's senior financial analyst, said that with while a negotiable RFP is similar to a traditional one, with the former the county doesn't have to be concerned with lost profit claims.

Peter McKenna, Smiths Falls Coun. representative, commended the previous county council for being proactive on affordable housing "and not waiting for the province to lead in housing or the federal government."

"I think you have shown courage and I'm pleased to be around the table where you're showing such leadership."

OPINION EDITORIAL

DECRIMINALIZING MENTAL HEALTH The Lanark County OPP, together with Lanark County Mental Health are helping to make a difference to those who struggle with mental heath issues.

There has been a recent addition of a second health nurse to go on calls with the OPP where mental health may be an underlying issue.

The OPP were successful with a Proceeds of Crime grant submission to obtain registered community mental health nurse last year, and now, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network has been instrumental in securing the additional registered nurse (RN) - but only for a short time.

There are enough people incarcerated due to mental health issues and the last thing police want to do is put more people in jail when a call to a mental health official would make more sense.

When a police officer is on a call and suspects mental health may be an issue, they are able to dispatch the nurse three ways: the RN can go on the call with the officer, the RN can be called upon for a followup conversation, or the police and RN will make proactive calls to folks who may be on the high-risk radar of a mental health-related issue.

These RNs are making a difference, and this plan is working. Now there needs to be secured funding so these two positions can become full-time at the detachment.

The Champlain LHIN is footing the bill for the short-term to have the second nurse on board.

The mental health nurse is part of the health system, and the RN can connect someone to services on the spot - without having to take people from their homes.

This is a program that is also well received by the officers on staff. They're eager to learn more about the program, as they are being debriefed on situations where the health nurse has been dispatched.

The nurses are on flexible shifts; primarily they work day shifts through the work, and their schedules are offset and extended coverage for longer days.

It's all about getting the calls to move faster along the lines of support and help for those suffering with mental health.

It is a logical step in decriminalizing mental health.

This program is all about getting people connected to the help they need before it becomes a crisis.

Already, in the first three months of the first RN coming on board at the Lanark County OPP detachment, there were 93 referrals to mental health agencies.

Last year, there were 400 calls where mental health was an underlying issue.

Lanark County is ahead of the curve on collaboration. Part of the police response is being able to build on collaborative.

Let's hope funding will come through so these two positions will become full time. Already the numbers are showing that this program is working.

The mental health nurse is part of the health system, and the RN can connect someone to services on the spot - without having to take people from their homes.

WHO WE ARE

LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER AGAINST SPRAYING OF HERBICIDES DEAR EDITOR:

I am a resident of Mississippi Mills and live on one of the streets that is targeted for this summer's intended wild parsnip spray program.

I spent many years raising awareness about the dangers of herbicides used both residentially and commercially.

I firmly believe that a roadside spray program is both ineffective at eliminating a plant species and imposes a great danger to human health, and the health of the natural world with which the herbicide comes in contact.

There are, in fact, ways to manage a species, such as the wild parsnip, that do not impose health risks or sacrifice the natural environment if you take the time required to investigate this issue thoroughly. Apart from educating the local population to recognize and avoid contact with the plant, public works can be instructed to mow, tarp, dig and pull plants before they seed.

Inter-seeding affected areas with appropriate plants can help to crowd out the parsnip and create pollinator habitats (which is greatly needed as our bee population declines). The introduction of natural enemies, such as parsnip webworm, can also help to control the wild parsnip.

There are a number of local citizens who are knowledgeable in all areas of this discussion, including: Ed Lawrence, master gardener; Dr. Paula Stewart, Leeds Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit; Dr. James Coupland, entomologist, agricultural research scientist; Jim Coneybeare, Ontario Beekeepers' Association president; and the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

I also urge you to review the reports describing the negative effect of herbicidal spray programs, such as the Ontario Public Health report: Use of Clearview Herbicide in Wild Parsnip and Giant Hog Weed Control.

Please, do not spray herbicides on our near our property.

CANCER SOCIETY GIVES SHOUTOUT TO DONORS, SUPPORTERS DEAR EDITOR:

Feb. 4 was World Cancer Day and we at the Canadian Cancer Society want to thank our donors and supporters for all they've done and will do to help us achieve our vision of a world where no Canadian fears cancer.

With nearly one in two Canadians expected to receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, most people have been, or will be, affected by cancer in some way.

Perhaps you know someone who is living with the disease, or maybe you've made a donation to support cancer research. You could be caring for a loved one with cancer, or perhaps you've received a diagnosis yourself.

As you take the time today to think about how cancer has touched your life, we invite you to continue to make a difference for yourself and your fellow Canadians by visiting cancer.ca for more information or to make a donation.

LANARK COUNTY OPP ADDS SECOND MENTAL HEALTH NURSE A second mental health nurse has been added to the Lanark County OPP detachment to assist with mental health calls.

"We received some funding from Champlain LHIN specifically to enhance collaboration between mental health and policing," said Insp. Derek Needham on Friday, Feb. 8, at the Lanark County OPP detachment.

A second RN, Robin Garreau, will help enhance the program

the OPP started last fall with the addition of the team's first mental health nurse, Morgan Crew, who came on board in August last year.

This new mental health initiative sees the collaboration of the OPP and Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH) to offer help for those suffering with mental health issues.

The OPP were successful with a Proceeds of Crime grant sub-

Garreau is a local woman with a lengthy career in the mental health sector. She came to the detachment on Monday, Feb. 4.

"We hope we can continue on with the second position on a more long-term basis," said Needham. "The funding for it will establish this position as the numbers are already there. The need is definitely there."

The first three months of the first mental health nurse being

with the OPP resulted in 93 contacts with different people, including risk assessment and diversion from emergency rooms, to name two.

"The link to appropriate services is happening quicker; much faster than what was done before," said Const. David Bird, community mobilization/mental health liaison officer.

"From something that is a police call initiated, and if a mental health issue has been identified we have a method now to do a followup. So people ideally are getting connected to services quicker than the older system of us making a referral or a call."

LHIN FUNDING HELPED ADD REGISTERED NURSE Continued from page 9

"Most of them have expressed surprise that we're there, because they'd been promised things in their lives before that were never followed up. I think they are pleasantly surprised they are getting what was promised them."

There are three main ways to

engage the health nurse, Needham explained.

"Officers will call one of the mental health nurses, and David, while on a call or going to a call; there are referrals where the mental health nurse will follow up with later on, and then we also have people we know who are elevated risks that we will check on

a proactive basis as well."

Bird said they triage the calls.

"A lot of the calls we go to where mental health is an aspect or main part of the call so the officers have made the referral, and we are finding the mental health condition is far more severe than anticipated. They're isolated from services or have a longer

history (of mental health issues)."

They are never sure of the call until they get there, as to whether a mental health aspect will be part of equation.

Needham said the OPP detachment attended 400 calls for service where mental health was a component in 2018.

stats now," Bird said. "The officers are actually telling us now."

Part of the success of the program, Staff Sgt. Marty McConnell said he's doing a quasi-audit on the officers' calls.

"When I talk to platoon sergeants I explain when they see an officer who normally sees a family dispute, they would now go to that dispute and come out with a referral to mental health, possibly a referral to other agencies."

Back when he was on the front lines, McConnell said, a family dispute would have been just that - a family dispute.

"But officers are now opening their minds to thinking about mental health and knowing that we have this awesome resource in the detachment," McConnell said.

On that note, the officers are buying into the program, Bird said, and its success is contagious it seems.

"It's hopefully getting people connected to the help they need before it becomes a crisis. There has been an enormous shift in the detachment," Bird said. "If I'm not available, (another officer) will take on a potential mental health call."

McConnell said the officers love the program. "When we first introduced the program to the platoons, we introduced Morgan and the program. Officers were popping into her office asking about it."

Bird said they have benefited from community collaborative.

"Lanark County is ahead of the curve on collaborative. The lead protocol has run for a while now; situation table has become a thing now. Part of our response is being able to build on collaborative. It seems to people like a logical step," Bird said.

Ideally, they want their calls to move faster and for the health nurses to be permanent positions.

The nurses are on flexible shifts; primarily they work day shifts through the work, and their schedules are offset and extended coverage for longer days.

Derek Dunn/Metroland Guy Potvin of Driftwood Studio in Navan participates in the annual gardening show in Almonte.

GREEN THUMBS GATHER FOR SEEDY SATURDAY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com The Almonte Civitan Hall was a pretty seedy joint last weekend.

The 4th annual Seedy Saturday saw plenty of garden enthusiasts and experts gather to talk, trade and learn more about seeds and related products.

"It seems to be getting better and better every year," organizer Johvi Leeck said. "We'll have about 300 guests or more come through."

Of the 36 vendors this year - including nine seed vendors and a variety of garden tool suppliers - more than 10 were non-profit organization. Money raised from the $2 entrance fee and raffle (beyond costs) goes to the Seed Lending Library, a free exchange designed to promote healthy, local food and a stronger community.

Almonte's fledgling seed library collects vegetable and flower seeds from growers and gardeners.

When they have enough, seeds will be available at the public library. They follow a lead set by the Perth & District Union Public Library in 2013. Seed companies often sell hybrids that can't be saved, and must be bought every spring as a result. Heirloom seeds, the sort of seeds found in seed libraries, can be saved and replanted from year to year.

Leeck, the sole organizer, found a calling in farming and seed collecting less than a decade ago when she was just 15. At that time she would take it upon herself to harvest trees in the area.

"I'd make jam from the fruit, keep the branches for crafts, and even grow my composter," she said. "It just grew from there."

The owner of Beyond the Garden Gate, an heirloom and obscure seeds business that specializes in unique jams, jellies, and syrups, spends much of Seedy Saturday promoting other vendors.

"Driftwood Studio here is very interesting," Leeck said, pointing to a table with lamps and furniture made of wood. "This is their first time here."

Owner Guy Potvin of Navan called it a busy day as he shows digital photos of custom work, such as a massive mirror frame.

Over at Bob Volk's table, he says his Gilligallou Bird Inc. doesn't attend many shows. But he said he wanted to support a local show and Seedy Saturday is important to him.

"It's been pretty good so far. We come every year," Volk said. "We have specific and high-grade seeds from certain growers, herb- and pesticide free."

To join or learn more about the Seed Lending Library, visit the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library at 155 High St., call them at 613256-1037, or email kkiddey@mississippimills.ca.

Three unique wedding reception ideas If you’re getting married, but the thought of a traditional wedding reception leaves you cold, try one of these three fun alternatives: 1. Brunch reception For early birds, a morning ceremony and brunch reception is the way to go. Ask your preferred breakfast spot to cater and then serve all of the breakfast classics with espresso drinks to wake your guests up. Just because it’s early in the day doesn’t mean you have to have a dry wedding — mimosas anyone?

insideottawavalley.com

2. Backyard barbeque If you prefer to spend your Saturday nights drinking beer and hanging out with friends, why not have a backyard wedding? Find a caterer that specializes in barbeque and get dirty with some ribs or pulled pork. Serve local craft beers and set up some old-fashioned lawn games.

3. Cocktail party Do you find banquets a bore but still want to dance the night away? Host a cocktail party! Your venue can pass around lots of appetizers and you can create a signature cocktail for the night.

With this type of reception you can use a smaller space to accommodate your guests.

A wedding reception that breaks with tradition can be more memorable, festive and affordable than the standard dinner and dancing that follows most nuptials. Your options are limited only by your imagination.

Trying to decide on wedding favours? Or maybe you’re wondering what types of gifts to purchase for your bridal party? In either case, here are a few ideas to look into.

For the guests • Flip flops: these will be a hit when people’s feet start to hurt from dancing • Flower seeds or bulbs: your guests can grow your wedding flowers at home • Coaster with your initials: opt for a natural material like cork or wood For the bridesmaids • Tote bags: have hemp or canvas bags personalized with their names • Jewelry: a dainty necklace or bracelet that matches their dresses • Floral robes: they’ll have something

to wear while getting ready and they’ll look great in your photos For the groomsmen • Flasks: if they’re a group that likes to party, these will get a lot of use • Monogrammed pocket watches: a good timepiece never goes out of style • Fun socks: men don’t always get a chance to show their personality, so get them some fun socks to wear with their suits Show some appreciation to your guests and bridal party by giving special wedding favours and gifts. And be sure to accompany the selected token with a simple thank you.

On our Country Estate Grounds

Traditionally at weddings, women wear corsages while the groom and other men sport floral boutonnieres. The people wearing them often include the groomsmen, the couple’s parents and grandparents and any other family members that the bride and groom want to honour. If you’re not excited about pinning a flower to your lapel or wearing one on your wrist, here are some ways to put a fresh spin on the tradition.

• Herbs and fruit: berries and herbs look elegant while still being fresh and green.

• Colourful buttons: you can make unique boutonnieres and corsages with an assort-

ment of buttons.

• Wooden tees: if the bride and groom are avid golfers, tie a few colourful tees together with a bow.

• Feathers: they can be as colourful as flo­ wers but are unexpected and whimsical.

• Ornaments made of twigs: a shooting star, a heart or a simple wreath made of dried twigs would be eye-catching.

The best part about most of these options is that, unlike fresh flowers, they can be kept as souvenirs of your big day.

LEE - WARWICK

Peter and Penelope Lee along with Phillip and Cindy Warwick are proud to announce the engagement of Julia Lee and Blake Warwick.

Wedding taking place February 23, 2019.

Moore - McMunn

CAULEY - BINGLEY

Tansley Paulina Cauley and Mervyn Lee Bingley were united in marriage on September 1, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Francis de Sales Church, Smiths Falls, Ontario.

Dinner and reception followed at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club.

It was a beautiful ceremony and a lovely evening surrounded by loved family and friends.

The bride is the daughter of Paul and Beverly Cauley (Toledo, Ontario), the groom is the son of Shawn and Jennie Bingley (Poland, Ontario).

The couple enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon in Jamaica.

Parents Ray and Ramona Moore and Joy and David McMunn are pleased to announce the wedding of their children Sara and Wade Wedding took place on February 18, 2018 at Temples Sugar Bush.

Wedding invitations traditionally include a few different cards and a whole lot of information. If you’re planning a wedding and want to cut down on the amount of paper you send, a wedding website is the perfect way to communicate with your guests.

What needs to be on the invitation All basic information about your wedding needs to be on the invitation. This includes the full names of the bride and groom to be, the location of the wedding and the date and time it’ll take place. Traditionally, your parent’s na­mes would also be included, but if you’re paying for your own wedding, you can take or leave this tradition. Include the URL to your wedding website so people

know how to access it.

RSVP cards Your guests need a way to tell you whether or not they can make it to your wedding.

You can include this with your invitation, or have people respond on your website.

Both options are acceptable, but keep in mind that some of your older guests may not understand the lack of a response card.

It’s Your Day

The North Grenville Municipal Centre, located in Kemptville, offers modern and cost-effective facilities for hosting your wedding. Our venue can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 300 guests.

What to put on your wedding website Use the website to let your guests know about accommodations, the gift registry and directions to the venue. You can also include some photos of the two of you, introduce guests to your wedding party or add local fun facts for people from out of town.

This can include: • Kitchen and beverage bar area to be used by the caterer of your choice • 300-seat performance theatre for ceremony • Outdoor patio area • A/V equipment rental • Free Wi-Fi • Municipal Clerks to perform your ceremony

Three things to consider when planning a destination wedding Have you long dreamed about getting married on a tropical beach or at a countryside villa in Tuscany? Wherever you decide to tie the knot, here are a few things to consider when planning your destination wedding.

exclusively yours on your special day

1. Hiring a co-ordinator will make things easier Weddings require extensive planning and if yours is out of town, the details can become overwhelming. Hire someone local to the destination — or someone from home with experience co-ordinating events in your chosen location — to avoid unnecessary headaches.

Check out our website for gift tree options...

2. Destination weddings are multi-day affairs Be sure to show your guests you appreciate them travelling to be with you on your big day by organizing a few group activities for them, either before or after the wedding.

You can plan a welcome breakfast, for example, or an excursion to take in the lo­ cal sights.

3. Not everyone you invite will make it Don’t be surprised if some of your loved ones can’t make it to your wedding. While it may not be a problem for all of your guests, it’s important to understand that a jaunt to Europe, a week-long all-inclusive trip to the

tropics or even a weekend in the next town over isn’t in everyone’s budget.

In addition to the above, think about how you’ll transport wedding essentials to the destination. If you’re travelling by plane, it’s best to pack wedding attire, rings and gifts in your carry-on bag.

Cut blooms that will last the longest Flowers may look beautiful in gardens and even when snipped and brought inside to brighten up a mantel or dining table. Unfortunately, cut flowers have a finite shelf life. While cut blooms can’t live forever, certain varieties will outlast others. Choosing flowers wisely for wedding centerpieces or keepsakes can help couples enjoy selected flowers longer.

• Peonies: Peonies can last for about a week or two when brought indoors. HGTV says to snip the stems when the buds are tight, wrap them in newspaper and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to arrange.

• Zinnias: These bright blooms can last for three to four weeks and are best harvested in summer. Related to the sunflower, zinnias are available in a wide range of colors.

• Chrysanthemums: Widely referred to as “mums,” these mid-

kellysflowersperth

summer to late-fall flowers can last between three and four weeks after being cut. Mums can be used to fill out floral displays because they tend to be inexpensive but durable flowers.

• Coneflower: The purple coneflower is popular, but coneflowers are available in many colors aside from purple. Coneflowers attract butterflies and are beautiful in cut displays.

• Ranunculus: Ranunculus mimic the look of roses and display layer after layer of silky, crepelike petals. These blooms can last a week or more in vases if they’re put in water right after being cut.

• Carnations: Another budgetfriendly flower, carnations are popular from early spring until late summer. Available in many hues, they can be used in conjunction with other blooms to create well-rounded floral displays that may last between

two and three weeks.

• Lilies: Lilies are traditional flowers that are beautiful to behold. Lilies are available in various sizes and colors and can be bought fresh year-round. Lilies often last longer than a week after being cut. Look for lilies with tight buds, as such flowers tend to last the longest.

• Gladioli: The lovely flowers of the vertical-growing gladiolus, which is sometimes referred to as the “sword lily,” are available in yellow, peach, pink, white, and other hues. These bulbbased plants can last up to two weeks after being cut and add variety and texture to floral displays.

Although advice varies on how to keep cut flowers fresh the longest, veteran florist Nic Faitos, senior partner at Starbright Floral Design in New York, who has provided his floral expertise for Reader’s Digest, says the best approach is to

keep vase water clean. In addition, ProFlowers suggests keeping cut

blooms in a cool room away from direct sunlight and heat

CREATE YOUR OWN SNOW STAG AT MUSEUM FUNDRAISER TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Discover your inner Pablo Picasso.

Paint With Janet and the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum are teaming up on Feb. 27 to present the "Snow Stag" fundraiser.

"This is a fun evening of painting," Janet Beath told the Canadian Gazette, and " our subject is the infamous Carleton Place stag."

Museum curator Jennifer Irwin wants to #bringbackthestag. A version appears on the flag of Carleton Place. Moreover, the stag's head is on the town's official crest - among other things.

The fundraiser runs from 6:45 to 9 p.m. at the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum, located at 267 Edmund St. in Carleton Place. All proceeds benefit the museum.

Beath, an area resident, has been a professional artist for more than 25 years.

She started Paint With Janet in 2015, holding several fundraisers over the years.

As a result, thousands of

dollars have been raised to help others.

Absolutely no artistic experience is necessary to participate in the "Snow Stag" fundraiser. Beath guides participants step-by-step from start to finish on how to make the painting.

"A lot of people have never even touched a paintbrush," she noted. "However, by the end of the night they are amazed by what they created."

Space is limited, with room for approximately 4045 people.

"Dress for a mess," Beath said.

Participants are provided with aprons, and there will be refreshments.

Story of the stag's head In 1819, land grants were issued to the Morphy and Moore families for what is now known as Carleton Place. They arrived from Ireland, and the families were on good terms with the area's First Nations people.

According to Irwin, Edmund Morphy 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.

As luck would have it, Morphy and this man settled the matter justly for both, establishing a rule to govern in like cases.

"They split it in half," Irwin revealed.

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

The cost to attend the "Snow Stag" fundraiser is $40 per person, payable in advance by cash (at the museum) or e-transfer (janet.beath@sympatico.ca using the password: paints).

"People paying by etransfer, please, email me separately so I know to watch for it," Beath advised.

Call the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum at 613-253-7013 for more information. Moreover, upcoming Paint With Janet events are listed on the Paint With Janet Facebook page.

"And who would not want to help out the museum," Beath stressed. "It preserves our local heritage."

OPINION

HAVE WE GONE SOFT WHEN IT COMES TO WINTER? JEFF MAGURIE WRITES ABOUT THE FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH - THE WEATHER! JEFF MAGUIRE Column

I have written a lot about winter in recent weeks but considering the weather we have experienced so far in the New Year it's pretty much the topic of the moment.

The winter of 2018-2019 began meekly enough.

There was virtually no snow on the ground in our region at Christmas and the New Year dawned relatively "winter-less."

What a change in the month of January! We had every kind of miserable, seasonal weather event

imaginable, sometimes all on the same day. This was the snowiest January in the history of nearby Ottawa.

More than 100 centimetres (cm) of the white stuff fell on the National Capital Region topping the record of 93 cm set in January 1999.

I can deal with snow. It's the freezing rain that my wife and I abhor. Heaven knows we had more than our share of nasty, freezing precipitation in January.

That trend has continued into February.

I freely admit that the older I get the more winter depresses me. Kathleen and I are suffering from cabin fever as it has been too snowy and icy to walk outside lately. We have joined the unofficial "walking club" at Walmart which has been growing exponentially in recent weeks.

All things considered this is really just an oldfashioned Canadian winter and I am wondering whether many of us (including

me at times) are overdoing it in terms of complaining about the conditions?

I do wonder about the reaction - try over reaction - to winter across Ontario and Canada. Two weeks ago some parents in Ottawa complained to school authorities and the media because school buses were not cancelled in the midst of a severe cold snap. They said it was "too cold for children to stand waiting for the bus."

School buses have already been cancelled many times this winter across Eastern Ontario and especially in Lanark County where we live. I realize safety is the first issue and I'm all for that. Fear of liability is a parallel matter. I don't envy those who have to make these decisions.

Because they are never going to be accepted as necessary by certain people!

I'm not about to launch into one of those claims that "in my day we walked five miles to school every

day and five miles home in any kind of weather." Because we didn't!

However we did walk to school every day and it was about two kilometres from our front door to the entrance to the public school in Stittsville. In winter my mother ensured we were dressed for the weather and that was that. No excuses. Off we went! Many kids who lived farther away were bused to school.

I don't recall the buses being cancelled very often?

They certainly weren't

when I was riding a school bus daily to and from South Carleton High School in Richmond. We would have been in ecstasy if a "Snow Day" had been declared. I don't remember one to be honest. But then again the 1960s was a very different era I suppose.

Perhaps one reason Canadians today dislike winter is because many of us are not ready for it. Either that or we simply ignore the fact snow is falling, the wind is howling or streets and walkways are slippery

with ice. The number of people I see who are not dressed for the conditions is startling to say the least.

But I'll let you be the judge. Have many Canadians gone soft when it comes to winter?

COUNCIL

COUNCIL VOTES 3-2 TO REPEAL ZONING Continued from page 3

sold. Anticipated funds from the sale of those lots was to go toward upgrades in Almonte's Gemmill Park ($300,000) and to enhance the new space of Don Maynard Park ($100,000). After the new council was elected, the zoning reversal was raised Dec. 11.

"I see this as something that has snowballed," Guerard began.

"This neighbourhood started in 1976 and (construction) would create more havoc with regards to infrastructure. We're never going to see $400,000 from these lots ... I think by stopping now, we stop the bleeding with regards to getting money for something we didn't actually sell."

There's a lesson to be learned here, stressed Coun. Bev Holmes, "that we should all be really cognizant of and that's listen to the people. The people of the municipality are who this municipality belongs to ..."

Coun. Denzil Ferguson said the decision made by the previous council was about more than selling a portion of parkland, but about addressing the surplus of such lands and not raising taxes or accumulating long-term debt.

"For that reason, I cannot support at this time, a repeal of the bylaw ..." he noted.

Steve Maynard, the late Don Maynard's son, thanked councillors Dalgity, Holmes, Maydan and Guerard for including the park as an issue in their municipal election campaigns. "It's refreshing to see councillors with integrity."

Calling the fight to save the park "a 31-month long unnecessary battle," Maynard said he's most saddened that his good friend, Gloria Leonard, who lived adjacent to Don Maynard Park and passed away last August, isn't here.

"Gloria Leonard can't be here to see the culmination of her un-

ending strength and relentless belief in what is right," he said. "I know Gloria is looking down on us, smiling and saying, 'We did it.'"

Gerry Belisle, vice-president of the Pakenham, Ramsay & Almonte Taxpayers' Advocacy Coalition Inc. (PRATAC) said extensive public input over the past two and a half years, including 350 residents at an Aug. 9, 2016 public meeting and a 1,300-signature petition against the park's sale, shows what residents want.

"I must comment that inviting the public to speak for or against the sale of Don Maynard Park at this time is a tired rerun of past events," he stressed. "Not only is it duplicitous, it is somewhat hypocritical, especially in view of the countless residents in Mississippi Mills who conveyed their opinions to that council at that time and in the past two years."

He urged councillors to pass the repeal so an appeal by PRATAC, residents and the Bonnechere Algonquin First Nation to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), to be withdrawn.

The Algonquin First Nation became involved due to the fact that Almonte was once a thriving Algonquin community. They have imposed a geological dig of the area before any changes are made.

"Folks, we need to see an end to this at this time," Belisle stated. "The money, the public angst on this whole issue; it's time to right the ship and move on to more urgent problems needing council's resolve."

PRATAC president Brian Gallagher agreed. "The people have spoken. Their wishes are clear.

They want this issue resolved and they want it resolved now."

"I commend council for taking positive action to retain Don Maynard Park as a positive

space," resident Ed Wilson added.

There were several questions involving the anticipated revenue from the sale of the lots and cost overruns with the Gemmill Park project. According to treasurer Rhonda Whitmarsh, the total cost of the Gemmill Park upgrades topped $1,057,197.33, over the original budget estimate of $853,000, with all change orders approved by council. Development charges, deferred revenue and donations, as well as Canada 150 and Ontario Trillium Foundation grants paid for a big chunk of it but $502,174.51 remains unfunded.

"I am not sure at this point how that is to be paid for," Whitmarsh admitted. "I am assuming that some of it will still be longterm financed, but without the sale of land, the only other options really are to add it to the 2019 budget and collect it through taxation. Either way, it will impact taxation over time."

Not all residents in attendance were in favour of the zoning reversal. Pakenham ward resident Jennifer Larocque believed council should go ahead with its original plan.

She and fellow residents in her Pakenham subdivision had to make a similar decision on parkland.

"Our gut reaction was not to give it up. We all feel the same way about green space and that it should be held onto and kept for future generations," she commented. " ... It didn't make sense to us to cling to something that the municipality could sell and use towards something to benefit the community."

In order for the repeal to take place, Lanark County's economic development committee and county council must now pass a motion repealing their decision on the park, before the OMB appeal date of March 20.

COUNTY TALKS SOCIAL SERVICES, HOUSING WITH CARLETON PLACE COUNCIL TARA GESNER tgesner@metroland.com Carleton Place council received an update from Lanark County director of social services Emily Hollington on Feb. 5, during its committee of the whole (COW) meeting.

"The purpose of my presentation is two-in-one," Hollington said. "I will be providing an overview of the county's social services department, and an overview of the housing study we did last year."

In Ontario, core social services are delivered and co-funded by 47 consolidated municipal service managers or service managers.

Lanark County is a service manager for both the county, which encompasses eight municipalities, and the Town of Smiths Falls.

"We are responsible for three primary programs: income and employment supports; housing and homelessness services; and child care and children's and early years services," Hollington ex-

plained.

With 66 full-time employees, three offices (Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place) and an annual budget of $37 million (2019), the department of social services is separated into four programs - housing services, children's services, Ontario Works and developmental support services.

"We also own and manage a social housing asset valued at about $62 million," Hollington noted.

"As you can see, it is quite a substantial program."

By way of third party agreements, children's services offers licensed child care programs at 30 sites.

"One is with the Town of Carleton Place," Hollington said.

She added: "We oversee quality assurance at these sites, and we receive funding from the province and distribute it accordingly."

The department also administers the Child Care Fee Subsidy program, and it supports and funds the EarlyOn Child and Family

Centre, which is contracted to Children's Resources on Wheels (CROW).

Ontario Works is an employment and financial assistance program, with approximately 1,000 households in Lanark County receiving assistance on a monthly basis.

"Developmental support services offers support to adults diagnosed with a developmental disability, helping them live independently in the community," Hollington said.

The responsibility for housing was downloaded by the province to municipalities in the year 2000.

According to Hollington, "in Lanark County we must maintain the required service level standard - 771 units."

"We have not been successful over the last 10 years, but in 2018 we set a goal to make a plan ... how are we going to reach this," she added.

There are a number of programs in Lanark County to help people obtain and maintain housing.

"We have 533 rent geared to income units (RGI) in Lanark County, and we support six different non-profit housing providers, which manage 182 RGI units," Hollington advised.

The RGI rate is 30 per cent of a person's income.

Of the six non-profit housing corporations, one is in Carleton Place: Elizabeth Court, located near FreshCo. It offers both affordable and RGI units.

"In addition to 53 affordable housing units across the county, there are 77 rent supplements with private landlords," Hollington noted.

A couple of the programs highlighted by the director of social services were the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative and the Portable Housing Benefit.

"The Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative received funding of $1.3 million in 2019. The money is used to help people obtain and maintain housing, "with a lot of it spent on last month's rent, utility arrears, hotel costs for the homeless, etc.," Hollington said.

The Portable Housing Benefit is a new program, a pilot program, which county council committed to last year. There are 15 spaces in the program, which sees $200 a month paid directly to clients to help pay rent costs.

There are 181 Lanark

were held (in Perth, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls), and we collected feedback from about 300 residents and 20 service providers," she said.

With the most recent data being 2017, the wait time for social housing in Carleton Place is seven years.

"The housing study resulted in a bunch of priority areas," Hollington stated, and "there are five strategic directions."

The county has committed $3 million to Carleton Place, in order to increase the supply of affordable housing.

"We are looking at a 20unit apartment in Carleton Place, and it will be the county's first time building," Hollington revealed.

"It will be quite an accomplishment."

The county is also planning for a diverse range of housing choices. Too, it will stabilize and revitalize current social housing stock, and it will ensure an adequate supply of appropriate, supportive and universal housing.

Lastly, "it will educate the community on local housing needs and demands, offering incentives to developers building affordable housing," Holling-

ton said.

There are many ways for municipalities to encourage affordable housing, including expediting the development permit process, waiving or reducing property taxes for a set period of time, waiving or reducing development charges and using the Official Plan to support accessible housing forms (garden suites and tiny homes).

Deputy Mayor Sean Redmond noted the 36 affordable housing units in the area of Joseph and Edward streets and Pattie Drive.

"We all know these units have been situated elsewhere in town," he said.

"We have not lost these units ... they have moved, and they will be kept in place when we get the 20unit building."

Coun. Theresa Fritz asked Hollington about the status of the units on Joseph and Edward streets and Pattie Drive.

"We heard they were going to be torn down last November," she said.

Hollington was not able to comment on the matter, owing to potential litigation; however, "it was definitely a county priority."

Coun. Linda Seccaspina read aloud a letter from the residents of Elizabeth

Court. They reminded the local politicians about their campaign chatter regarding the need for more seniors' housing.

Elizabeth Court is a building for seniors. It offers 31 units, with four being wheelchair accessible.

It provides independent living with social programs, and offers both RGI and market units.

The residents stressed they are fortunate to live at Elizabeth Court, but they have acquaintances who are longing for this type of lodging too.

"What can Carleton Place do about the lack of seniors' housing?" Seccaspina asked Hollington.

"The main thing the town could do is to find a non-profit interested in developing seniors' housing," the social services director said. "Offer them incentives, making it attractive for them to build in town."

"Is Lanark County going to build seniors' housing?"

Hollington said aloud.

"No, it is not in the initial steps."

OPINION

HANEMAN CHILDREN DREADED MRS. BEAM'S CURE-ALLS REMEDIES OFTEN FELT WORSE THAN AILMENTS, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

The question at the supper table was whether or not we were sick enough to call in old Dr. Murphy from Renfrew, or would Mrs. Beam get us over whatever ailed us.

It seemed just about everyone at the Northcote School was coughing.

Loud, racking coughs and runny noses, coughs that went right down to our bootstraps.

My sister Audrey was the only one of us five children who was spared. If we called Dr. Murphy, it would mean forking over $2, but if Mrs. Beam could fix us up,

it would be a cup of tea and a couple of Mother's sticky buns. It was Father, always looking for a way to save a dollar if he could, who said we should give Mrs. Beam a try.

Just the thought of Mrs. Beam and her cures sent me into a fit of coughing. And Emerson said he was all better as he wiped his dripping nose on his shirt sleeve.

Mrs. Beam's cures were far worse than the disease.

The fact that they usually worked though did little to ease our anxiety. She firmly believed that raw onions could cure everything but labour pains. Audrey had to explain what they were, and since none of us were in that state, it seemed we were doomed for a visit from Mrs. Beam.

I didn't know what was worse, raw onions tied around our necks in a little flour bag sack, onions cut up and put on a chair beside our bed, onions under our pillow, or the mustard

plaster she told Mother was a sure cure for everything from the whooping cough to a bad cold. She didn't trust Mother to make them without her proper instructions, but if we weren't sick enough to call in Mrs. Beam, Mother made them herself. It didn't matter who made them, I hated them with a passion, because when the plaster came off, my skin felt like it was on fire, and my bony chest was so sore, I could hardly bear to put on my undershirt.

Then there was Vicks VapoRub. Sometimes we didn't even have to have a cold for Mother to slather on a goodly portion right out of the little blue jar. Always at night, before we went to bed, was when we got the treatment. She said it would keep the cold germs away. My sister Audrey hated to have her chest rubbed with Vicks.

She hated going off to school smelling, as she

said, like Ritza's Drug Store. And the next morning, before she dressed, she would go downstairs and bring up a basin of hot water, a bar of soap and a washcloth, and scour herself from her chin down to her waist, in an effort to get rid of the smell before she went off to school.

Well, it was decided.

Mrs. Beam would be summoned to come and treat whatever ailed us. I asked Audrey if she was called to treat everyone who went to the Northcote School. Audrey said she doubted it.

She came loaded with a sack of onions and went through the house like someone possessed. She put cut-up onions on just about every surface in the upstairs bedrooms, ordered Mother to put them under our pillows when we went to bed, and it wouldn't hurt, she said, to add a few to the chamber pots.

Just as she was about to go out the door, she told Mother the ones of us who were the sickest should go off to school with one of Father's dirty work socks wrapped around our neck.

Thankfully, Father refused to part with his socks.

After retirement, he was able to realize his life-long dream and settled on Dalhousie Lake with Cheryl, surrounded by nature. Wayne was a kind, loving partner, father, and friend, and always had a brilliant smile, laugh, and wink for everyone he encountered. He touched the lives of so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Family and friends are invited to a Gathering to Honour Wayne’s Life at the Blair & Son Family Centre on Friday, June 7th, 2019 with times to be determined. Those wishing are asked to consider a memorial donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, 115 Christie lake Road, Perth, On.

IN MEMORIAM

It’s sometimes hard to know why some things happen as they do.

For so much joy and happiness was centered around you.

It seems so hard to comprehend that you are no longer here.

But all the happy memories will help to keep you near.

You are thought of often Cathy, With each mention of your name.

Death can not change a single thing, The love will still remain.

CARROLL, Tom – In memory of a dearly loved and cherished husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away February 18, 2014 Remembering you is easy, We do it every day.

Missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

You had a smile for everyone, You had a heart of gold.

You left the sweetest memories The world could ever hold.

To us you were someone special, What more is there to say?

Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today.

Dearly missed and forever loved, Betty, Barbara and Keith, Margaret and Darwin, Kevin and Liz Patricia and Steve, Tom and Lois, Christine and Peter, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just kept right on working, For those he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And if he had some worries, They went unspoken too.

He was there, a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we could turn to, When times were good or bad, One of our greatest blessings, The man that we called DAD. Loved and missed Son, Mike and Granddaughters

Love Always, Randy, Marcus and Maxwell

HELP WANTED

THE LION KING JR. TAKES THE STAGE FEB. 22 Once again, the Mississippi Mudds youth theatre group is in the final stages of rehearsals for another wonderful show - this time in its production of The Lion King Jr. With seven shows scheduled at the town hall in Carleton Place, beginning Feb. 22

through to March 3, this delightful story brings to life the African savannah on stage.

Join this unforgettable young cast of characters while the plot builds as they journey from Pride Rock to the African savannah and back again. Filled

with music and a plot that will pull at your heartstrings, a young lion named Simba is forced to grow up quickly after a great loss of his father, Mufasa.

He faces his evil uncle named Scar, and finds himself on a journey of self-reflection and growth; meet-

ing friends who help support him along the way, Simba finds himself back with his tribe where he belongs, but not without having to overcome his sense of loss, guilt and fears first.

This family-friendly show is sure to have your toes tapping to some fan-

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!

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 No matter how much time you set aside, Cancer, you seem to keep playing catch up. You may need to realize that a few extra helping hands will make a lighter load of your tasks.
