Re-zoning for Oxford Mills Thrift Shop a go

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Bargain lovers, get ready to pop some tags on County Road 43 with North Grenville’s endorsement of a zoning bylaw amendment to allow for a thrift shop.

A public meeting under the Planning Act was held during the May 15 North Grenville committee of the whole meeting, to discuss a zoning change to permit a retail establishment as permitted uses to the existing dwelling. According to planner Phil Mosher, homeowners Piero Presutti and Deborah Coish originally had plans to add a recording studio as well, but that idea has since been scrapped.

The property is located at 2075 County Road 43 with an area of 5.35 hectares and road frontage of 200 metres. It previously operated as a country club, so he said there is ample parking for customers and traffic shouldn’t be an issue.

“There were a few letters of objection received…

regarding noise and loss of comfort and enjoyment… but the existing building where the retail use would be located is adequately buffered,” Mosher explained, adding that another concern was noise from the recording studio, “but that has been addressed because that use is no longer being requested.”

Presutti and Coish spoke to council about their vision for the shop.

“We decided to look into doing a thrift shop a while back. After spending 30 to 40 years of collecting collectibles it can get a little overbearing,” Presutti commented. “We thought this way we could give back to the community as well.”

In fact, 20 per cent of overall sales are donated to the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC). “When you shop there, you’re supporting a local organization, so we feel pretty good about that,” he said.

Local Perth high school now has Naloxone kits to treat fentanyl overdoses

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Area high schools already have, or should be getting, access to Naloxone kits.

Naloxone is used to treat someone who is having a fentanyl overdose, and “we already have the (Naloxone) kits in our first aid,” said Ronald Ferguson, Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s principal, during a public information session on fentanyl at Saint John Catholic High School in Perth on Tuesday, May 2.

Jessica Wigle, a registered nurse with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, led the presentation, and told those assembled in the school cafeteria that both the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) “will be getting them (Naloxone) as part of the first aid kid soon.”

Further to this, she told concerned parents and staff that “all paramedics in Lanark, Leeds, and

Grenville are equipped with Naloxone.” While the health unit cannot give out Nalxone kits to those who have not been addicted, or are a relative or friend of someone who has or is addicted, she said that pharmacies can give them out: “you just need (to present) a valid health card.”

While the health unit has access to the new Naloxone nasal spray, many pharmacies still have the “shot” form, but they can train you, Wigle said.

However, while paramedics have access to the kits, “it’s difficult for police to get their hands on it,” she said.

Naloxone temporarily removes the opioid from the receptor sites and is only effective with opioids. It works within two to three minutes, and says in the body for 60 to 90 minutes, but Wigle urged anyone administering Naloxone to call 911 first before giving the shot or spray as every second counts, and because the patient still needs to be brought to hospital afterwards.

One way in which local

pharmacies are also cracking down on illegal use of prescription fentanyl, and other opioids, is through a patchfor-patch program. To refill your prescription for, say, 10 new patches, you need to present your previous 10 patches to the pharmacist to get your

new patches.

“It has helped prevent the diversion,” said Wigle.

During her presentation, Wigle explained that “fentanyl is actually prescription medication. We use it (in) hospitals…It’s used during surgeries for short-term pain

management.” However, illegal bootleg fentanyl is “usually made in underground labs,” and then sold on the streets, where it is often mixed in with other drugs. A pill may be sold as OxyContin or Percocet, for example, but it is really partially, or fully, fentanyl,

which is highly addictive and can be between four times to 10,000 times more toxic than morphine. In fact, as much as two grains of fentanyl “can be lethal,” said Wigle.

Perth council defers decision on future location of Conlon Farm garage

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

A decision on the location of the proposed Conlon Farm garage has been deferred until the fall.

The issue has ignited a flare-up of civic activism with the Perth town council chambers full of concerned citizens, some from the group Friends of Conlon Farm, during a special town council meeting on Tuesday, May 16.

The controversy has even brought former mayor Lana March back to the council chambers.

Harry Hale, representing the Friends group, seated beside March, said he had been on the fundraising committee for Conlon Farm in the late 1980s, when “a jewel was built” — a “huge accomplishment for a town the size of Perth."

Because of his past experiences with local Little League, he saw what a success the facility was less than a decade later when, in 1995, more than 4,000 people descended on the area for a provincial Little League championship.

Hale said he had safety concerns about options one and two, located on opposite ends of the parking lot beside the legion baseball diamond.

With soccer pitches and baseball diamonds in operation, sometimes simultaneously, full parking lots and chil-

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

At left, Shannon Baillon, the Town of Perth’s director of community services, listens to Harry Hale of the Friends of Conlon Farm, right, as does former Perth mayor Lana March, during a special town council meeting on Tuesday, May 16. dren running around, Hale said there was “a huge safety concern,” about large pieces of heavy equipment, like, say, a tractor, being taken out of the proposed garage at such a time.

On an esthetic level, “we cannot afford to lose,” green space. “There is a good reason why the (current) storage shed was built where it was … You need to keep up the high standards of

Conlon Farm.”

He also charged that he had received a letter from Hydro One saying that said that the so-called Option 5, building on the site of the current storage garage, could be hooked up to the hydro box on Smith Drive.

“The existing garage is still in good repair,” said Hale. “Why demolish it?”

(Later in the meeting, Shannon

Baillon, the director of community services, told council that she had received a letter from Hydro One that appeared to be completely different from the letter Hale had received from the public utility. “It’s odd that Hydro One would give two different answers,” she said. To this, Hale replied that it depended, in part, on what type of questions Baillon had asked.

Mayor John Fenik interjected, saying, half-jokingly, that it was not unusual to get mixed signals from Hydro One.) March made her return to the council table by asking that more time be given to study the placement, of the garage. She reminded council that she sat on the council elected after the town council that re-zoned the Conlon Farm land, and she remembers her first visit to the area that would become the recreational hot spot it is today.

“We stood in the field,” she remembered. “It was wet. We were given a vision of what Conlon Farm would look like.” She admitted that, in the late 1980s, it was “a leap of faith,” but she has since seen the area mature. "It continues to be a jewel.” Even back in the early days, “it was really important to us, the visual impact,” with the chalet intended “to be the centre” of the area, and that any other buildings should “fit in,” to their surroundings, and there would be “trouble having a utility building sitting in the middle,”

of the area.

Currently, by driving up Conlon Drive, “you get to see the Little League ball diamond.” By situating a garage on either side of the legion ball field parking lot, however, “you’ll have a utilitarian building sitting there.”

Coun. Jim Graff reminded council that, in the early days of Conlon Farm, the community raised more than $400,000 in the space of 18 months, showing that “it’s a pretty dear place for all of us.” However, he was the first to recommend that council “wait until the fall.”

However, Coun. Judy Brown, who would later become the only member of council to vote against delaying a decision until the fall, quizzed Hale on just what type of organization the Friends were. She noted that the Friends of the Perth and District Union Public Library helped fundraise for the library, “but they do not have input into the running of the library,” she said. She wondered what the group’s “function” was.

“We are not opposed to change,” said Hale. “It’s not like we are sitting back and saying, ‘We don’t want change.’ We do.”

At this point, Coun. Ed McPherson moved a motion to defer the decision until September.

“It can certainly wait a few months,” said McPherson. Fenik agreed that it See CONLON FARM page 11

Tickets still available for Wine’d Around Downtown in Carleton Place There are still some tickets remaining for what has become one of the most eagerly anticipated annual events in Carleton Place.

The always popular Wine’d Around Downtown marks its 10th anniversary this Saturday (May 27). Last year, nearly 300 people took part, and a similar turnout is expected this year.

The event is a fundraiser for the Sister Cities Youth Exchange program, as well as other activities involving the town and its two sister communities. Carleton Place is twinned with the village of Comrie, Scotland, and the city of Franklin, Tenn., a growing suburb of Nashville.

Canada 150 (Canada’s sesquicentennial) is the theme for this year’s venture, with specially designed t-shirts once again acting as tickets.

The maple leaf, Canada’s well-known national symbol, dominates the front of the shirts.

Wine’d Around Downtown will also feature live music on an outdoor stage in the municipal parking lot beside 92 Bridge St., opposite the banks. Carleton Place singersongwriter Brea Lawrenson, whose star is quickly rising,

drugs, like cocaine or heroin, is, in fact, fentanyl.

The quality, for want of a better word, of the pressed pill form of fentanyl, can also vary widely. While one pill can get a user high, “another pressed pill could be death or a lethal dose.”

Kelly Munroe, a public health nurse with the health unit, spoke for many fellow parents when during her portion of the presentation that “this is a really scary time. In the past, we had time to react to an overdose. Our reaction time is gone,” when it comes to fentanyl.

However, she did caution that “alcohol is still the number one drug used by teenagers,” with marijuana use in second place.

Parties can be a place of

will be joined by popular local musician George Chenier.

They will perform throughout the four-hour event, which runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and includes seven restaurants, pubs and caterers.

The participating venues will dispense tasty appetizers, and wine samples will be on offer at various locations in the downtown area.

Tickets are available for $25 each at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce Information Centre, located in historic Moore House at 170 Bridge St. (opposite the town hall), as well as at the Thirsty Moose Pub and Eatery at 20 Bridge St. Purchasers receive an event T-shirt, an information guide to the event, and a coupon for one free appetizer at one of the participating venues.

As the play on words in the name suggests, participants in Wine’d Around Downtown are encouraged to “wind” their way from one venue to another in the downtown area.

The idea of the event is not to over-imbibe, but rather to savour sample glasses of wine and enjoy appetizers at the locations involved in the afternoon event. Anyone wearing

a Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt is entitled to purchase additional wine samples and appetizers at each participating venue for $3 each.

“When you buy a ticket, you’re helping local students travel abroad,” says Jeff Maguire, chair of the host Carleton Place Sister City Committee. He notes that three young people and their adult chaperone from Franklin, Tenn., are currently in Carleton Place as part of this year’s youth exchange.

“Again this year, we have several long-established venues taking part, along with some new restaurants for people to visit,” the event chair explains.

The Wine’d Around Downtown T-shirt will also work well for those planning to attend Canada 150 celebrations at Riverside Park in Carleton Place on July 1.

For more information about Wine’d Around Downtown, contact Maguire by email at jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com or message Amanda Charania, communications co-ordinator for the Town of Carleton Place, at acharania@carletonplace.ca.

fun for teenagers to let their hair down, and de-stress, away from their parents. But Munroe cautioned that “even little get-togethers with friends can turn into huge parties that can get out of control.”

When drugs and alcohol become present at a party scene, some teens may be hesitant to phone the police, an image that Munroe said the police are hoping to change.

The OPP and other police departments, she said, want kids to call them if a party gets out of hand.

“Police in our area have sent (this) message,” Munroe said.

“They are there to help (the) person in trouble. They will not be charging anyone unless they are in their face,” like, smoking a joint in plain sight.

Wednesday, May 17 for Grade 10 and 11 students.)

COMMENTARY

The Murdered Girls of Manchester

T

he so-called Islamic State knows no bounds.

The murderous thugs from the Middle East struck the Manchester Arena in the heart of England this past Victoria Day. As of Tuesday afternoon, we know that there were 22 dead and 59 hospitalized, with 60 being treated by paramedics.

The blast, according to The Guardian newspaper, occurred just after the conclusion of the Ariana Grande concert on Monday.

Already, some haunting details are starting to emerge at this early stage. One victim was already identified as being only eight years old. Of those taken to hospital, 12 were under the age of 16.

Here’s something that ISIS has not counted on however. They have picked on two of the worst possible targets they could have chosen.

The first are the young women who were attending the concert. ISIS probably saw an easy target here - an arena full of meek, innocent girls singing along to some re-booted

Disney princess.

As we shall soon see, Manchester’s young women are more steely and resilient than they could ever think possible.

These are the most linked-in, social media savvy youngsters ever. They know how to make their minds known. They will not be silenced. In fact, if any of them were unaware of ISIS’s evils before, they are not now - and no one tells today’s young modern woman what to do.

The second was that it was an attack on our culture. No matter what artistic merit Grande may or may not have, it is the fact that they went after the arts, yet again, that should really, really give us pause for thought, about their true intentions. In November of 2015, ISIS attacked the Bataclan in Paris, as rockers The Eagles of Death Metal were performing. They hate our freedom of speech.

If we cannot sing our songs, we cannot breathe. We shall sing on. And if our young women are not free, none of us are free. We shall stand with our young women.

Only a big calamity would keep Mary from church, as she knew how to pray

T

here I sat, as I did every Sunday, in the same pew, in the same row, in the same church. Only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away from the Lutheran Church in Northcote on a Sunday morning. And it was always an ordeal for me.

Goodness knows, I tried my best to understand what the minister was talking about, but as usual, I had no idea what he was saying.

His very voice sent chills up my spine. I couldn’t understand why. When he came to visit, I wasn’t the least bit frightened of him, but everything changed when he came swooping down past our pew leading the choir, which that

day consisted of one man and two women, all of whom had seen better days. But one thing you could say for them, they were loyal. Never missing a Sunday.

Once the minister lumbered up to the pulpit, he paused, scanned the entire church, and I was absolutely sure when his eyes lit on me, he knew I was scared out of my wits. I wondered if my fright had something to do with his flowing robes, since my brother Emerson whose imagination was many notches above mine, said they reminded him of a huge black vulture getting ready to swoop down on us. His voice thundered through the church, and his face got redder and red-

der, and soon great beads of sweat began running onto his black robe. But I had to pay attention, because soon he would send us children off to Sunday School. And the woman who taught us, it was rumoured, could recite the bible cover to cover, and she would be waiting for us, with her arms folded in such a way, that she reminded me of a praying mantis. We scrunched down on little red

painted chairs, and I knew exactly what would happen next.

She would ask us what the message was from the minister.

And of course, I would have no idea. I would purposely go into a coughing fit in the hope she would bypass me and go onto one of the other poor souls waiting to be grilled on what it meant to be a Christian.

Thankfully the questions would end, and the teacher would begin the lesson, which had everything to do with being a better person. We were told we had to pray a lot. Well, that was no ordeal for me. Not only did we say our prayers kneeling at Mother’s knee before we went to bed, I had long ago developed the habit of praying

for just about anything I wanted, from new white ankle socks with lace around them, to praying for bad Marguirite to move to some foreign country.

I even prayed my red hair would turn black, and that one morning I would wake up and every last freckle would have vanished through the night. So the teacher didn’t have to talk to me about praying…no siree!

And on she would go. And she always seemed to know when the last hymn was being sung upstairs, because she would tell us to bow our heads for the closing prayer.

This was when I started to enjoy Sunday School. Because each of us would be given a little folded piece of shiny paper

with a story printed inside, and always there was a picture of Jesus on the front page, which I loved, and which was far different from the one hanging in the church upstairs, which I thought made Him look very sad.

That day I was very quiet on the way home, as I tried to figure out why Sunday church was so different from the days when we went to church for the strawberry social, the Christmas concert, the pot-luck suppers, and the once-a-year lawn social when we ran races, played ball, and ate home-made ice cream all of which I loved better than the Sunday church service.

And I decided, maybe I See MARY page 9

Mairi Rankin and Aillie Robertson return to Full Circle Theatre. This highly acclaimed East Coast-Celtic duo were part of The Outside Track’s sold-out concert last year at FCT. They bring their fiddle and harp combo back to Perth on May 31.

One of 'the top bands in the world' at Full Circle Theatre Aillie Robertson and Mairi Rankin are a duo that are “among the top bands in the world,” according to the Live Ireland Music Awards, and they are bringing their internationally acclaimed show to Perth’s Full Circle Theatre on Wednesday, May 31.

Robertson and Rankin are part of The Outside Track, who played to an SRO house at Full Circle in 2016.

Robertson is hailed as one of the very best Celtic harpists in the world, while Rankin is from Canada’s famous Rankin Family, who are long leaders of the East Coast music scene.

Robertson was winner of the BBC Alba Trad Musical Awards’ up and coming musician of the year, and her styles on the Celtic harp are described as “the realization of otherwise unimagined possibilities for the Celtic harp.” Rankin brings her Cape Breton fiddle and vocals to the mix, not to mention “step dancing up a storm.”

Tickets for this special event are just $25, all inclusive, and are at Shadowfax in Perth (www.shadowfax.on.ca, 1-800-518-2729).

Then, just a few days later, BarnDoor Productions will kick off their summer theatre season with a rollicking fun time. Donald Churchill’s The Decorator is a lighthearted bit of summer entertainment to begin a series that includes farce, a classic mystery, a tiny little musical, an

astonishing one-man show and an all-new musical comedy based on a 2,400-year-old play.

The Decorator is about a cheating wife who is confronted by the wife of her lover. Threatened with exposure and humiliation, she enlists the help of the hapless painter who has come to redo the study.

Thankfully, he’s only a part-time painter — he’s also a part-time actor and eager to step into one of the most challenging roles of his admittedly limited career.

Directed by BDP stalwart David Bird, the show features a three-person cast made up of some of BarnDoor’s favourite performers. Chris Angel and Kristy Angel are a husband and wife team who have given BarnDoor audiences such performances as Bassanio and Portia in The Merchant of Venice, and Nick and Honey in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?

Karen Bernique is equally strong, with her recent role in last February’s 7 Keys To Baldpate being a fine comic turn, and her leading role in 2015’s August: Osage County giving us both her comic and dramatic sides.

The Decorator runs on June 2, June 3, June 8, June 9 and June 10 at 8 p.m., as well as June 4 and June 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door, and can be reserved simply by calling 613-267-1884. No

credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested.

On May 24, Film Night International concludes their spring series with the movie that nearly won the Oscar for best picture this year: La La Land. The movie musical has reinvented the genre and features Canadian actor Ryan Gosling. Screenings are at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Go to FiNI’s blog at http://filmnightinternational. blogspot.ca for more. Series subscriptions for the fall series will be on sale at that time.

Oh, yes, a long-range heads-up: on June 18 at 7:30 p.m., Whistling Fish Productions from B.C. will bring their highly-praised multimedia show, Northern Tapestries: A Lost World, to FCT. It’s an exploration of Canada’s landscapes, art and music in words, song and images. “I don’t have enough superlatives to describe this show” and “patrons were captivated from the first note to the last image” are some of the comments the show has drawn. Tickets are at Tickets Please (www.ticketsplease.ca, 613485-6434).

And, if that`s not enough excitement for you, just wait until July and August. All the details on all events at Full Circle Theatre are at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Captain Hooper chapter of IODE celebrates 100 years in Carleton Place Balla called the women in history the social fabric of society ... “always paying attention to the needs of the community … what needed to happen to help children, and making make sure youth had the opportunity to do the things they needed to do.”

“Women have always been visionaries,” she stressed.

“We are part of a chain, and it is called the human chain,” Balla continued. “We are the links on the chain.”

“We are lucky to be on the chain, and we are lucky to live in communities where people care enough to make sure the human chain is not only about what we have, but what we have inside us,” she added.

The Captain Hooper chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) is in its 100th year, receiving its charter on Feb. 12, 1917.

The Captain Hooper chapter celebrated its milestone with a special luncheon May 6, held at the Carleton Place Canoe Club. It was well attended.

“We are proud of and inspired by the commitment of our community partners who understand our vision and value our charitable work,” chapter president Dianne Saunders said.

“Your ongoing generosity enables us to focus and carry out our mission.”

“Thank you for your assistance, donations and amazing support,” she continued.

The Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE has brought together women in Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and surrounding area, and from all walks of life and age groups. These women are proud of their heritage and traditions, and they continue to meet for friendship, fun and community volunteerism. Members experience personal growth, networking opportunities, companionship and support as they assist with the chapter’s centre of focus: children, youth and those in need.

“Naturally, there have been challenges throughout the years,” Saunders said. “However, the deep expertise and local knowledge of our longtime members, along with values like kindness, compassion and creativity have been essential in achieving long-term success.”

Much thought and hard work went into the planning of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE, and a number of sponsors made it possible.

Saunders recognized the co-chairs of the 100th anniversary committee: Julie Sadler and Lee-Ann Legault.

“The committee has invested many hours in this celebration,” the local chapter president said. “This group’s efforts make me so proud.”

Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos brought greetings and congratulations on behalf of the town.

“I am asked to attend many events in my role as mayor,” he said. “I am always amazed how this local chapter touches and enriches the lives of our residents.”

The mayor rhymed off a number of IODE events, including a celebration to recognize Queen Elizabeth II becoming the longest-serving monarch in British history, an annual curling bonspiel and craft show, as well as the Extravaganza: Fashions for Guys & Gals fundraiser.

“If there is an event hosted by the IODE, it will be organized, fun, welcoming and a benefit to our community,” Antonakos said.

Letters of congratulation were received from several individuals, including Governor General David

Johnston.

He wrote: “I am please to extend sincere congratulations to the members of the IODE Captain Hooper chapter as you gather to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Canadians are known throughout the world for their passion in making a difference in the lives of others. As a country, we would not have this reputation without the tireless work of people like you who have committed themselves to make their community a better place.”

One of the dedicated and passionate ladies attending the anniversary tea was Bonnie Rees, president of IODE Canada.

“I am honoured to be here as you celebrate your 100th anniversary as a chapter,” she said. “You have reached a milestone that only few chapters attain, and together you have built a charitable legacy.”

In the last year, members of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE have accumulated 6,000 volunteer hours.

“You provided supplies for the Canada Day children’s tent and donated funds towards the purchase of red-and-white Canada 150 tulips,” Rees said. “I enjoy reading your annual report.”

Other activities include the maintenance of the chapter scrapbook and helping local students by way of several bursaries, English awards and reading programs.

“You donate snowsuits, support a breakfast program and raised $10,000 for a 100th anniversary project,” Rees noted. “You have made a huge contribution to your community, and working together creates much more than one individual can.”

Renate Schuetz, president of IODE Ontario, provided a brief history of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE. “Your IODE chapter number is 648 ... you were near the beginning,” she stated. “We are over 3,000 now.”

The Carleton Place group was named after Captain William Henry Vickers Hooper. After serving in the Boar War, he moved to Carleton Place where he met his wife, Mable McNeely. They married in 1905.

“He worked as a photographer until the First World War broke out in 1914,” Schuetz explained. “Returning to service, Captain Hooper led the first group of Carleton Place soldiers overseas.”

He spent 18 months as a prisioner of war in Heidelberg, Germany.

Schuetz noted Hooper was released

at the end of the war, and he returned to Carleton Place and his wife.

“He was the town’s postmaster from 1919 to 1950,” she added, and “he even served as mayor in 1923.”

The provincial president congratuated chapter 648 on its centennial, and she also presented them with a certificate.

The afternoon’s guest speaker was Marion Balla, president of Ottawa’s Adlerian Centre. The centre is a leading provider of counselling, psychotherapy, training, coaching and consulting.

Balla holds a master's in both education and social work, and she is a national and international speaker.

According to MC Julie Sadler, she has a strong commitment to building a healthy community, having volunteered as a board member of the YM-YWCA, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, DIVA, Social Planning Council and the United Way. “This is my third time speaking to the IODE in Carleton Place,” Balla said. “I want to congratulate you on your 100th anniversary.”

She told attendees, “We are to live the day we come into … live it fully and honour the work we do, as well as the contributions we make and the people we touch.”

Vision 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.

“As a result of her vision, the first IODE chapter was formed in Fredericton, New Brunswick on Jan. 15, 1900,” Sadler said, and “membership grew quite largely.”

“Today, we have 3,000 members across country, with more than 200 chapters,” she added.

In Carleton Place a group of ladies got together in 1912, wanting to do their share toward the effects of the Boar War. “Margaret Morphy and Mabel Hooper started meeting to discuss what they could do,” Sadler said.

When chapter 648 received its charter it had 45 members. Over the years the Captain Hooper chapter held dances, tea parties, concerts and cake sales.

Carleton Place’s cenotaph in Memorial Park was unveiled in 1924.

The Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE was instrumental in its construction, donating $1,500.

“That was a lot of money back then,” Sadler said.

In 1949 the local IODE chapter pledged $200 to the hospital’s building fund. The Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital officially opened its doors to the community on Feb. 12, 1955.

“Nine years ago we decided we would put $1,000 every year in a GIC fund,” Sadler explained. “Interest has not been great, but on May 22 this year we will have $10,000 saved.”

She revealed $5,000 will go towards the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital Foundation, “which we generously support,” and the other half will purchase benches and plaques for the new trail at Roy Brown Park.

There are 27 members of the Captain Hooper chapter of the IODE today, with years of service ranging from 63 to a few months.

“Our motto: ‘Always willing’,” Sadler said. “If you need something – ask.”

Perth Mayor John Fenik says he will consider tax hike for green initiatives

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth's Mayor John Fenik said that he would be willing to consider a tax hike to cover proposed green initiatives.

During the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change public meeting on Tuesday, April 25, held in the Provincial Offences Court at Perth town hall, Coun. Judy Brown noted the 2017 budget had a zero-per-cent tax increase.

“If bringing in these green initiatives meant a tax increase of, say, two per cent, would people be willing to pay?” she asked.

“I’d pay a little bit more,” said Fenik, before adding that there would have to be targeted dollar amounts for the intended programs.

At the start of the meeting, Fenik told those assembled that “People ask (me) ‘Why Perth?’ My answer is, ‘Why not?’” He noted that, if all Canadian municipalities adopted a climate change plan of some sort, “it would make a serious impact on the stuff that will eventually kill us,” he said.

Even though there would be an upfront cost for installation of green initiatives, “we are going to save money on this in the end,” he said.

Task force member Ramsey Hart vented his frustration that climate change deniers were still being given air time by the media, and that, as a result, we “still have to argue about

whether this is actually happening.”

For him, however, “there is no doubt.

The climate is changing.”

And for him, he can see it happening locally. He can feel it on his skin, in the form of the several ticks he has found on his body at Murphys Point Provincial Park because of “our increasingly warm winters.”

He did admit that earth’s atmosphere has warmed and cooled over the years, because of “changes in solar activity, changes in the earth’s rotation,” he said. But even with this in mind, “we’ve vastly surpassed the carbon emissions in the atmosphere,” in recorded world history. He charged that climate change deniers “will

throw out red herrings … to deflect,” and muddy the waters.

Compared to other countries, Canada “is not doing so good,” when it comes to limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Critics will say that we have to burn fossil fuels in Canada.

Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll agreed that “the town does have a contract,” with a local firm. “We would have to give notice to the contractor to put the contract into abeyance.”

The town would likely have to “redeem” the contractor’s steel purchases, which have already been made, but the contract did make allowances “for issues that arise.”

“A lot of governments sign contacts that (they) don’t go through with,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. “It would be imprudent of him (the contractor) to sue the town because of that,” delay, and, also, because this particular

contractor has won several town contracts in the past.

“Do we even need this building?” asked Boldt. “This thing has been just thrust upon us.”

Baillon replied that space is already at a premium, and that a “mule” golf cart, truck, and tractor need a permanent home on site, to save time and money to bring them in and house them elsewhere. In the meantime, however, until this is sorted, “we will find somewhere to store it,” said Baillon.

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said he wanted to see a permanent structure erected, and “I don’t want to see

it becoming a lean-to and forgotten about.”

Referring to the earlier delegation, which had referenced the hard work done by several local civic groups, like the legion, he said that “I appreciate the work that was done on it (the farm) but it’s the town’s (property) now.”

After the vote to defer, Fenik said that even though “I do remember signing that contract for the garage to be built,” he said, “I’m really glad we came back to this … (because) any time you can engage the community, it can only be a good thing.”

See GREEN page 25

CONLON FARM

From page 4

agreed that it was “a good thing,” to allow more time for community input, before turning toward Baillon and telling her “I think a (staff) report would be premature at this point,” though he did thank her for the work she had put into it.

However, Brown cautioned council that, with the garage originally contracted to be built this month, “we would be acting in bad faith,” if the town corporation were to change the contract at this late date, and that the contractor “could take action,” in the form of a civil suit.

England’s Brookwood is unique among the war cemeteries Last week I wrote about the ongoing efforts to identify the burial sites of Canadian military personnel who either died during their service in two world wars or passed away soon after from various causes and are interred in public cemeteries or in private plots around the world.

Many of the thousands of individuals involved are eligible for a grave marker from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). The organization, based in the United Kingdom, is responsible for marking, recording and maintaining the graves and places of commemoration of Commonwealth military personnel who died during two world wars.

The commission has an awe-inspiring and ongoing task in terms of maintaining the graves and memorials to the missing involving 1.7 million Commonwealth service people.

Included are the more than 100,000 Canadians who died during the world wars. The CWGC is jointly operated and funded by six member states.

Those nations are the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa.

The vast majority of Commonwealth War dead are interred in military cemeteries owned and maintained

by CWGC and located in 153 countries world-wide. In addition memorials to the missing, remembering those who died but have no known grave, are

located in many of the scores of burial grounds operated by the commission.

My wife and I have visited many war cemeteries, where military personnel from both sides in the two world wars are interred or commemorated.

It is always a moving experience for us.

The CWGC has set the bar high. The standard of care involved is impressive to say the least!

Among the military cemeteries Kathleen and I have visited is one in England we found to be unique considering that those interred there represent both sides in the world wars.

Brookwood Military Cemetery is located near Woking, Surrey about 30 miles west of London. A few years ago we made a special trip there, travelling by train from Waterloo Station in London. The site is very easy to access. There’s a train station at Brookwood and once off the train you step out the back door of the station and the cemetery is just a short walk away along a leafy lane.

Established in 1917, the military sections are part of an expansive burial ground which dates from 1854. The Brookwood public cemetery was developed to help manage the vast number of deceased persons from nearby London at a time when cemeteries in the burgeoning capital could not handle more interments.

The CWGC was established during WW I (May 1917) to manage burials

and commemorations for the massive number of Commonwealth troops and support staff killed during the Great War. Largest in UK The same year authorities recognized the need for a cemetery for servicemen and women who died in the London area. Brookwood Military Cemetery covers some 37 acres and is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom.

The men and women buried at Brookwood died in hospitals in the London area from wounds suffered on the Western Front, from illness or as the result of training accidents. The cemetery was extended to manage the burial of Second World War casualties.

Brookwood is divided into sections according to nationality and the war in which the person died. The Commonwealth sections are unique because they feature two Stones of Remembrance and two Crosses of Sacrifice.

We knew before we arrived that Brookwood contained the graves of many Canadians. But we were surprised to find that of 5,075 Commonwealth burials more than half (2,731) are Canadians. That does not include soldiers from the Royal Newfoundland Regiment who also fought for the Commonwealth during the world wars. They are among 1,487 people from the UK and her former colonies interred at Brookwood. Newfoundland did not join Confederation until 1949.

The Canadian connection to Brookwood is such that there is a separate Canadian Records building at the entrance to the cemetery. The largest Canadian section is right through the main gate.

Members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force were based in the UK during both world wars. Brookwood contains 2,405 Canadian Second World War burials and 326 from the First World War. Among the WW II victims are 43 who died of wounds suffered during the Dieppe Raid. A predominantly Canadian force raided the heavily defended French port of Dieppe on Aug. 19, 1942. Lessons learned during the raid were to prove vital in ensuring the success of the Allied D-Day landings on June 6, 1944.

We were impressed by the multinational nature of Brookwood! Only the American section, with 468 buri-

als, is not managed by CWGC. It is the responsibility of the American Battle Monuments Commission.

There are also graves of French (244 burials), Polish (83), Belgian (47), Italian (346), German (53) and Serbian (three from WW I) citizens. The staff member I asked said the Germans and Italians interred at Brookwood include prisoners of war from WW II who died in captivity.

Brookwood also contains the graves of 447 Australians, 230 New Zealanders, 151 South Africans and 29 soldiers from India.

To us the most poignant section is located near Brookwood rail station.

It contains the graves of soldiers and support staff who died of influenza late in 1918 and early in 1919. They survived the war only to become one of the estimated 70 million people world-wide who died during the influenza pandemic (1918-1920). Among them is Thomas Andrew Knowles, a Private in the South African Infantry.

He died in England Oct. 22, 1918 and is interred in Plot 7 at Brookwood.

Thomas was just 15 years old.

His remaining family have the comfort of knowing his final resting place is lovingly cared for, in perpetuity, by the CWGC whose excellent work is largely unheralded.

'The Spitfire Grill': Exploring the heart of a great musical Every spring, as surely as the snows melt and the flowers bloom, a troupe of extraordinary performers sing and dance their way onto the stage of the Studio Theatre, and into the hearts of Perth theatregoers. The Studio Theatre's annual musical — always wonderful, and always directed by the luminous C. Lee Bates — is a joyful rite of spring, and the climax of a season of great community theatre.

On Thursday, June 1, that tradition continues with the premiere of The Spitfire Grill, one of the best-reviewed musicals of the last 15 years. Critics in New York and London have called it "soul satisfying," and "a breath of fresh country air,” with music that is "freeing" and "richly rewarding.” As always, Perth audiences can expect their own production to be just as worthy of such accolades.

The Spitfire Grill tells the uplifting story of a young girl named Percy (a variation on the rather unusual name Perchance, meaning “by chance”) who has recently been paroled from prison. Percy has just arrived in Gilead, a downat-the-heels Wisconsin town that was devastated by the closure of its quarry years earlier. Percy's arrival in town becomes a story of rebirth and redemption, as the girl with a past becomes the reason Gilead has a future.

I had a chance to speak with Carolee Mason, a theatre veteran who, along with C. Lee Bates, is bringing the Studio Theatre's production of The Spitfire Grill to the stage.

Carolee ran the theatre program at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) for 31 years, and PDCI's Mason Theatre is named in honour of Carolee and her husband Geoff. How did she come to be involved with The Spitfire Grill? Let's ask her: "Where do I begin?" says Carolee." This is a fantastic play! It's based on a film — as more and more shows are these days — so it's richly cinematic, which presents challenges, but also wonderful opportunities for staging. The show is about relationships and redemption, ordinary people who rediscover hope and joy.

You'll laugh and, yes, you'll cry. And the music is simply sensational."

The style of music in The Spitfire Grill is called Americana, a contemporary form inspired by, but different from, country, folk, bluegrass, R&B and the blues. The result is a totally unique roots-oriented sound that's achingly beautiful in places, rollicking in others, but always heartfelt and memorable.

"I'll still be humming these tunes years from now," says Carolee.

Next I asked Carolee about the show's director, C. Lee (Cindi) Bates, and how C. Lee's spirit and humanity brings so much to every production she works on.

The Spitfire Grill in rehearsal: Hannah (Barb Guthrie), owner of the Spitfire Grill, celebrates with friends Shelby (Cait Morton), Percy (Courtney Mason), and Sheriff Joe Sutter (Andrew MacDougall) as bags of mail arrive from interested buyers. The production opens on Thursday, June 1 at Perth’s Studio Theatre

Award, among several other prestigious awards and nominations.

The Studio Theatre's production of The Spitfire Grill is directed by Bates, with musical direction by Rideau Lakes Orchestra conductor Alexandra Guerin, who leads a live orchestra of keyboard, cello, violin, guitar, mandolin and accordion (synth). Emma Houlahan is the show’s choreographer, while Joan Frommer runs everything else as stage manager. Carolee acts as set designer, associate director, and "dramaturge" — a role encompassing research and development for the production, giving the cast a feel for the context of their surroundings, in this case, Gilead, Wis. The Spitfire Grill premieres at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore St. E., on Thursday, June 1 for eight performances only. Advance tickets are $25 (cash) at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E., and at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca) and Shadowfax (shadowfax.on.ca), both of which accept credit cards and charge a convenience fee. Tickets are $27 at the door; students with ID pay just $10 at the door.

Attend opening night and save $5! Visit studiotheatreperth.com for details.

Don't miss The Spitfire Grill, a joyful, entertaining, and uplifting slice of Americana. What a great way to welcome another spring!

"Cindi and I are kindred spirits," until late in the play.

Fred Alley and James Valcq wrote she says. We share a belief in collabThe Spitfire Grill is adapted for the book, with Valcq composing the oration and team building. There's the stage from the 1996 film of the music and Alley the lyrics.

Carolee's daughter, Courtney Mason, who plays the lead role of Percy, has worked with C. Lee Bates on three Studio Theatre spring musicals, Little Women, 9 to 5, and The Drowsy Chaperone. Courtney Notice to Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds echoes her mom's deep feelings about their director.

The main purpose of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious "Cindi makes you feel safe while weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. you stretch the limits of your character, and that attitude leads to great Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23, you are work.

The volunteers at LAWS pose for photo. There are lots of volunteer opportunities available at the organization - just call for more information.

LAWS has lots of volunteer opportunities available The Lanark Animal Welfare Society depends on the generous help of volunteers who give of their time both in-shelter and off-site. There are many different volunteer opportunities to choose from. Some are regularly scheduled - for example in-shelter animal assistant shifts are three hours once per week, while others are on demand: lawn care, building maintenance and repair, participation at fundraising events.

Our web page has more information about these and many other volunteering opportunities. If you might be interested in joining the volunteer team please check it out, or drop by the shelter and see for yourself. Here are some of our gallant crew after the recent Volunteer Appreciation Week luncheon!

LAWS also depends on the generosity of the community who unfailingly respond to our pleas for material donations. Kitten season is ramping up. We are currently caring for nearly 50 kittens in the shelter, some orphaned, some with nursing moms. They might be tiny but they have mighty appetites and are tearing through our store of cat food at an astonishing rate. Donations of Friskies Pate canned food would be much appreciated these little ones have a lot of growing to do before they can be adopted.

Tony This handsome grey tabby is about nine months old, playful, sweet-natured and affectionate.

He likes to be held and cuddled, and purrs his appreciation.

Spook Spook is about two years old, very petite and slim, friendly and easy to handle. She has a Bengal-like look, long and lean with beautiful black and brown tabby markings. She is curious about everything and wants to investigate every nook and cranny.

Robert Three-year-old Robert looks like a tough guy, but this big boy is a lover not a fighter. He is very affectionate, loves tummy-rubs and cuddles. He is a little - um - stained at present, a sure sign of a rough past. But in time his stained fur will grow out and he will be snowy white with grey tabby markings.

It’s important to have the cannabis conversation with your kids Are parents ever ready to talk to their kids about drugs? With the forthcoming legislation and legalization of marijuana (cannabis), and all of the media attention on opioids, it's an important conversation to have. How should you talk to your teens about drugs?

You find out what they are interested in. You listen.

You talk about other stuff.

You ask questions that will let them know you care about their activities without interrogating them. You let your kids know you love them and that you will always be there for them.

Those were the over-rid-

ing messages at the Cannabis Conversation presentation at the Carleton Place arena hall hosted by the town's drug strategy committee. Approximately 70 people were in the audience posing questions to a panel of community professionals who have different encounters with cannabis users.

The panelists were: Morgan Crew, a registered nurse on the crisis team at Lanark County Mental Health (LCMH); PC Gregory Streng, Community Safety Officer with the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment; Mike Souilliere, Manager of Patient Care

The panel of experts addressing the Cannabis Conversation community meeting on April 20 in Carleton Place.

PULSE SURVEY CONTEST

WINNER!

Congratulations Fred!

Service for the Substance Use and Concurrent Disorders Program at Royal Ottawa Mental Health Care Centre; Mike Beauchesne, from the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre; and Dr. Manuela Joannou, an emergency and family physician working in Perth, who has a special interest in mental health and psychotherapy.

Streng said that his target audience is kids in Grade 6, 7 and 8, but he is often in the local high schools. He is finding that those kids have an awareness about drugs and said that he finds it valuable to be able to go in and have a good conversation with kids, and be seen as a community resource.

“It's important for them to have good information,” Joannou said.

“We have to talk to them in a nonemotional way that presents situations in a way they can understand.”

Kids also have to be ready to listen, and make a change, Crew said. They may not always be in the right frame of mind to receive the information, which can be frustrating. So, just like with other important conversations, you have to wait until the kids are open to really listening to you. When you're driving them to sports practices and games, watch for opportunities to talk about what's important to them, and what they're interested in. That may open the door to the more serious conversations, Beauchesne suggested.

Joannou was passionate in her presentation and in her comments on how she worries that kids are losing their motivation, and those kids may be attracted to using marijuana.

“It's important to give kids “a smorgasbord as to what could be out there for them, then they will get excited and want to learn more, she said.

“I see kids who suffer from what I call 'dream deficiency syndrome' and we need to help those kids become more goal-oriented. Then they are motivated to do well in school, go on to some post-secondary education or training, and if they are engaged, then they are not as likely to turn to drugs.”

If we want our kids to be engaged, Beauchesne said, then we have to be ready to be engaged with them.

“If we shut down what we're do-

ing, if we shut down our devices, and talk to them about what may not be important to us, but is important to them, then they will open up, and that will create opportunities for other conversations,” he said. “They may not want to talk to us when they're older, but they might when they are 12 or 13. Our kids don't come with a manual, and if they did, the manual for the first wouldn't work for the second, and so on, so we have to take the time to get to know our kids.”

Creating opportunities in communities for kids and families to be involved with sports or other activities that are not necessarily the highpriced activities will keep the avenues of communication open, Streng said. Parents may not want to have the “drug conversation”, but those conversations will happen more organically if you've been together and talking about lots of other stuff. You can have a conversation about drugs without actually mentioning drugs, Souilliere said.

You can also find out what's happening in your community through the Upper Canada District School Board Parent Involvement Committee UCDSB-PIC. Check the Facebook page, https://www.facebook. com/UCDSB.PIC for the latest information.

“We can talk about all sorts of other things: peer groups, peer influence, bullying, decision making, values, emotional well-being,” Souilliere said.

“All of these factors influence whether someone might turn to substances to cope, and if you're talking about those things, then you're finding out why they might turn to drugs.”

Keep the avenues of communication open. Keep the conversation going. Make a pact with your child that you will be there for them. Then “the talk” will be easier.

Christine Peets is the Writer in Residence for the Upper Canada District School Board Parent Involvement Committee (UCDSB-PIC). This is the first of two articles about the “cannabis conversation.” More information is available on the PIC's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ UCDSB.PIC.

Steak with sweet peppers, sweet potatoes New Zealanders love their beef as much as their lamb.

Here is a popular recipe using a dry rub to flavour steak, which is then served over a base of herb-grilled sweet potatoes, sweet peppers and topped with grilled onion.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Refrigeration Time: 1 to 24 hours Grilling Time: 12 to 18 minutes Serves 4 Ingredients 1 tbsp (15 mL) each packed brown sugar and salt 2 tsp (10 mL) each garlic powder, paprika and dried thyme 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) chili powder 1 tsp (5 mL) smoked paprika or chipotle powder 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) each dry mustard and coarsely ground black pepper 4 Ontario beef tenderloin or rib-eye steaks (each about 6 oz/175 g), about 3/4-inch (2 cm)

thick 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil 1 tsp (5 mL) finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 clove Ontario garlic, minced 1/4 tsp (1 mL) seasoning salt 1 to 2 large sweet potatoes (1-1/2 lb/750 g) 2 sweet peppers (1 red, 1 yellow or orange) 1 large red onion, sliced into thick rings 4 tsp (20 mL) vegetable oil for brushing Preparation instructions In small bowl, mix together brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, chili powder, smoked paprika, mustard and pepper. Press rub generously onto both sides of steaks; place on plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

In medium bowl, mix together olive oil, rosemary, garlic and seasoning salt. Peel and slice sweet potato crosswise about 1/4-inch (1 cm) thick; toss in

rosemary oil to coat well. Cut peppers into 4 wedges. Slice onion 1/4-inch (1 cm) thick.

Place sweet potatoes, peppers and onions on greased grill over high heat. Grill covered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. Place sweet potatoes, peppers and onions in separate bowls. Keep vegetables warm.

Reduce heat to mediumhigh; grill steaks for about four to five minutes per side, or until desired doneness. On each plate, place several slices of sweet potato, a wedge of each pepper, steak and top with onions. Garnish with rosemary, if desired.

town has been exploring include more biking and walking paths, creating more green spaces, and possibly even setting up electric vehicle charging stations.

“This is going to cost money.

Don’t kid yourself,” cautioned Fenik. But, in time, “it pays for itself.” By way of example, he noted the average 60-km per day in mileage that town staffers can rack up. The mileage paid out by the town could, in time, pay for an electric vehicle that town staffers could use.

Fenik said that he has even phoned Belinda Stronach, whose family's Magna International runs Grenville Castings in Perth, to ask “How about you considering making e-cars here?” While he admitted that he walks a fine line between job creation and environmental action, as some factories in town added to the town’s carbon footprint, “I know that there are 120 people who are employed by Magna (locally who) are glad to have a job,” said Fenik. “It’s good when people have real, paying jobs.”

Brown also noted that Perth also has an advantage over other similarly-sized small towns, in that it is only one of seven such towns to have the cable capacity it does, which allows residents “to telecommute … it’s absolutely green,” she said.

One potential conflict that Fenik cited for the environmentally sound homes of the future is that developers might not be

sold on, say, house roofs that are solar-panel ready.

“No,” is the reply Fenik often says he hears from developers.

“We want to build traditional $350,000 to $400,000 homes, the traditional way,” as there is a higher rate of return. “Builders still will keep building traditional buildings until they are told otherwise.”

“Municipalities have the authority to change the building code,” said Argue. “Make it stronger. Let’s take a look at it.”

Campbell queried when the proposed Crystal Palace electric vehicle charging station might be ready.

“This summer may be a little ambitious,” admitted Fenik, although “the wiring is already there. You would see a changing station next year,” he said, funding for which could be debated for budget 2019 next January.

On the issue of transportation, Fenik joked that “I don’t think that the Town of Perth wants to get into the OC Transpo business,” he said.

As for the recently discussed proposal of a new railway line from Peterborough through Perth to Smiths Falls, Fenik said that this spring’s federal budget “put in steady funding (for VIA Rail Canada) for seven years,” said Fenik. However, “they did not include new rails and cars.” Having a train station again in Perth “would be a game changer,” Fenik said.

“It’s cold up here. We’re a northern country.” Pointing to a list of carbon angels and devils behind him, with Canada lagging behind, he stated that “well, it’s also cold in Norway, Sweden, and other northern countries that produce less carbon.”

While Perth creating its own climate plan may not make the difference globally between a cleaner, greener future and environmental catastrophe, “we are in a unique position as s small town … it’s very doable in a town our size,” said Hart.

“We’re not Toronto.” For example, there is a close connection between town leadership and the grassroots. Just the day before, Hart had run into environmental services director Grant Machan at the bakery.

“We have access to our leadership,” he said.

Task force member Sean Campbell, during his portion of the presentation, commented that “years ago, we were a cutting edge town,” when it came to environmental issues.

(For this, Fenik gave a lot of credit to fellow task force member Bob Argue.) In his research, Campbell said he is finding, in national reports, “examples of what EcoPerth did years ago.”

Now, the town is getting some of its environmental mojo back, but Fenik urged the town’s environmentalists to “not get demotivated by what is happening down south.”

THRIFT

From front page

Oxford Thrift Shop is to reuse, repurpose and recycle, Presutti noted. Donations of clothing and housewares are also accepted.

Coish said the thrift shop is a “retirement project,” for her and a way to generate some extra income.

“I worked at the Salvation Army so I learned the trade there and though I could do this on my own,” she stated.

“It’s a unique property, being an old country club, so it’s very conducive to a small business. It’s a way I can create a job for myself and stay home.”

The Oxford Thrift Shop will only be open four days a week – Thursday and Friday from noon to 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“There’s not a lot of traffic and we might get 10 cars a day,” Presutti pointed out.

“There’s more traffic heading to-

wards Merrickville,” added Coish.

“I don’t see us creating any noise or problems.”

When it came time for council to determine whether to endorse staff’s recommendation to allow for the zoning change, Coun. Donovan Arnaud was unsure if he should participate. His wife Jennifer Franssen, is currently the president of the KYC board.

“Having just heard now that these people intend to provide a very generous part of their earnings to the Kemptville Youth Centre, I wonder if I should recuse myself because my wife is the president of KYC and I feel it would be inappropriate,” he said.

Arnaud sought advice from chief administrative officer Brian Carré.

“While staff certainly are quite familiar with the conflict of interest legislation, we’re not professionals,” Carré admitted. “…Having said that,

it’s totally up to you, councillor, to make that decision if you feel there is an pecuniary interest…”

Noting there will be no benefit to his family, Arnaud made the decision to participate in the vote.

“For the sake of appearance, I didn’t want to be seen as supporting something…but I’m going to make a judgment call here that I will stand for the vote,” he said.

“I totally believe there’s no pecuniary interest here,” added mayor David Gordon.

Coun. Frank Onasanya commended Presutti and Coish for their generosity to the community.

“It’s quite astonishing to hear that you guys are looking to do something for yourself as retirees and on top of that you have chosen to look further with your graciousness, towards the youth of our community,” he remarked. “…Our goal as council here is to continue to support our

youth because they are the future and contribution.” also they are the ones that carry us The zoning bylaw amendment was forward…I respectfully commend unanimously approved by committee you. Thank you very much for your of the whole.

Kemptville Youth Centre serves up annual pancake breakfast May 27

For more news, community events and sports, check us out online at www.insideottawavalley.com

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Start the day off right with a hearty breakfast while supporting local youth during the Kemptville Youth Centre’s (KYC) annual pancake breakfast on Saturday, May 27.

This is the sixth year for the event, which will be held at the Kemptville Christian Reformed Church (2455 County Rd. 18) from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., and serves as one of four major fundraisers for the nonprofit organization.

“This is a very successful fundraiser for us,” noted KYC operations manager Pat Henderson. “It’s all about the community coming together for the youth and enjoying breakfast time together.”

Kemptville Christian Reformed Church members, volunteers and youth will be offering up a full breakfast — including pancakes, bacon, eggs and sausage — and celebrity servers are preparing to don their aprons again this year, including Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark and Kemp-

Proceeds from the breakfast will go toward KYC’s annual insurance costs. At last year’s breakfast, $7,475 was realized.

The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children under five.

Tickets are available at KYC (5 Oxford St. W.) or at the door.

Other major fundraisers for the organization include the Jail and Bail, held every spring; the KYC Golf Classic, coming

up on Friday, July 7 at eQuinelle Golf Club; as well as the book fair, which will mark its 13th year this Aug. 25 to Aug. 27 at the Ferguson Forest Centre.

Those who have books to donate can bring them along to the May 27 breakfast, or drop them off at the June 9 Movie on the Green event.

Dog boarding facility causes concern for Oxford Mills residents

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

The proposal of an in-home dog boarding facility in Oxford Mills isn’t sitting well with some local residents.

A public meeting under the Planning Act was held during the May 15 North Grenville committee of the whole session to discuss a zoning bylaw amendment at 555 Dennison Road. The amendment, endorsed by the committee, will add an in-home dog boarding facility as an additional use on the lands.

According to a report report prepared by planner Phil Mosher, homeowners Lorraine and Richard Chartrand are proposing a “cage-free, in-home canine boarding facility.”

“The proposal would see the conversion of a portion of the home for this purpose and the construction of an exterior area for dogs,” he stated.

The lands, three hectares in size, have been occupied as a single-detached dwelling with accessory structures since 1980. The property is located 1.2 kilometres east of Oxford Mills.

“Around it, is a largely forested area,” Mosher noted.

He said while the amendment fits in with the municipality’s Official Plan policies, there has been concerns raised through discussions with neighbours, primarily Moyra and Graeme Allan, who live to the south of the

subject property.

“The general concerns raised by those at this residence relate to the noise from the facility and the potential for kennel ‘creep’ that could occur should the lands become further developed by future owners and the potential for adverse noise in the future,” Mosher said.

“It is staff’s opinion that the proposed amendment could be appropriately worded to include a scoped definition of kennel,” he continued.

“Rather than permitting a regularly defined kennel, it is possible that a boarding facility, as requested, would be an appropriate way to mitigate the concern of kennel ‘creep.’ However, staff wish to make clear that the proposed location of the business proposed is in compliance with the zoning bylaw.”

He added that issues with noise could be dealt with through a site plan control agreement.

“It is quite far away from any sensitive noise receptors,” Mosher said.

“And the dog run is strategically positioned on the north side of the dwelling.”

Lorraine Chartrand explained that the facility will be a small one, accepting a maximum of 10 dogs of larger breeds. She is familiar with bigger dogs and owns three of her own, which will be kept separate from the others.

“Dogs will be kept inside the house and let out into the yard, fully supervised,” she said. “There will be dogs barking, of course, but if the dogs bark too much, they will be let outside individually.” “…We will maybe offer some daycare services at a later date, but for a start-up, that’s what we’re looking at,” Chartrand added.

The intent also is to not allow the dogs out into the dog run, which would be secured with an eight-foot fence, after 10 p.m.

Robert Rowe, who lives a few doors down from the Chartrands, had noise concerns with the proposal.

“Noise definition is a factor. Topographically, it’s shaped like a bowl on Dennison Road and the echo is unbelievable,” he stated. “…We have the train, living near the tracks…so we already have a very noisy road.”

He wondered about the effect on his property value as well. “We all deserve the right to sit outside and we already have barking dogs in the neighbourhood,” Rowe said. “That’s what dogs do, they bark…but it will affect our way of life in the neighbourhood.”

The Allans were also in attendance at the meeting and appreciated that their concerns were being taken seriously.

Pop into Summer Concert June 3

From page K5

Merrickville Children and Adult Choirs present their “Pop into Summer” concert on Saturday, June 3 at 6:30 p.m. at Merrickville United Church.

The choirs will be joined by guests Rideau Voices, a vocal quartet, Giocoso Strings, led by Polly McCombe, and Kevin McCleery playing the guitar.

The concert features popular songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s right through to today. From the Righteous Brothers to the Beatles to the Supremes, there is something for everyone in this toe-tapping concert. A highlight of the evening will be when both choirs and Giocoso Strings join together for a beautiful

Mayor David Gordon questioned whether the matter would come back to council if there was future growth on the site.

“It would be dealt with through site plan control,” Mosher answered.

“But no, it would not…for an external kennel, yes.” “…In the future, if the Char-

Susan Maconnachie, choir director, and Kathleen Howard, accompanist, have once again volunteered their time and shared their musical talents to prepare the children and adults for what will be a wonderful evening of music.

trands would like to expand the home itself and the in-home facility, it would not require a site specific planning amendment,” he added.

Seeking more information on the proposal, Coun. Donovan Arnaud wondered if the dogs would be under supervision at all times.

“Yes, inside and outside,” Chartrand said.

Coun. Frank Onasanya asked if the Chartrands had attempted to talk to their neighbours to alleviate concerns.

“Graeme came over and I showed him the facility and he

saw where the dogs will exercise and I explained to him what are thoughts were,” Chartrand stated. “If the dogs get too excited, I will take those dogs in and put them out on their own so they don’t have anything to bark at.

Safety concerns and keeping our neighbours happy is number one for us.” “…Any neighbour is welcome to come over at any time and we’ll give them a tour,” she continued.

“I hope you take the necessary steps and talk to your neighbours,” Onasanya said. “Put yourselves in their shoes…”

Off-leash dog park fundraiser June 3 at Kemptville Canadian Tire It has been a long winter and it is now time to start work in earnest to establish the first offleash dog park in North Grenville, to be opened this fall.

A much-needed parking area was established last fall to service both the dog park and the Ferguson Forest Education and Activity Centre. The park was also seeded last fall and the seed is germinating quite nicely. Once the ground is dry enough for equipment, more seed will be added.

In late winter, the forested area of the park was cleared of dead and fallen trees to make it safe for humans and dogs. Once the larger pieces of fallen wood are removed, the remainder will be mulched for use on the forest floor. Two-hundred and fifty posts have been purchased for the perimeter fencing and 750 metres of fencing has been ordered. It was hoped to start the fencing by now, but with the wet weather, the fencing has been delayed until mid-June.

Volunteers will be needed to help with this work. If you can spare some time, please con-

tact North Grenville Dog Parks (NGDP) Inc. president Carl Doucette at ca.doucette@cogeco.ca. All assistance is welcomed.

Fundraisers There have been several successful fundraising events during the winter months, including the 2017 Dog Calendar and the Dog Park Derby held at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

Mark your calendars for our next event on Saturday, June 3 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Thanks to the generosity and support of Frank Hoffman, we will be holding our second annual barbecue and car wash at Canadian Tire in Kemptville with burgers and sausages and all the fixings provided by B&H: Your Community Grocer. All money raised will be used to help fund the fencing of the five-acre property.

NGDP Inc. is in the midst of a sponsorship drive. Sponsorship packages are now being delivered to local businesses. Individuals can also be sponsors by contacting the corporation at northgrenvilledogparks@gmail. com to receive a sponsorship

package. There will be a kiosk at the barbecue on June 3 with information on sponsorships.

In-kind sponsorships will also be welcomed. Opportunities also exist to sponsor items for the dog park such as a permanent gazebo and benches, to name just a few.

Donations are always welcome!

There are four sponsorship levels ranging from $500 to $2,000. Here are some of the benefits of sponsorship: • An initial press release in the local newspapers and on Juice FM. • Recognition with a plaque on the Ferguson Forest Dog Park sign to be erected on site.

• Company logo on all promotional material from North Grenville Dog Parks (NGDP) Inc. • Company logo on website (under construction).

• Automatic membership to NGDP Inc. ($25 value that includes voting rights at the annual general meeting, the newsletter, admission to talks and information sessions, and more).

OPINION I

Soon to be Mrs.

’ll be completely honest with you, I never thought I would be a wife. The whole concept of marriage is fairly archaic – here is a piece of paper that says you are legally bound to another for the rest of your life. It never made much sense to me, the whole walking down the aisle in a white dress thing. I always figured you loved someone and that was enough – you were together because you wanted to be, not because you said a few lines in front of a person with legal authority.

But I’ve changed my tune in the last year. I decided marriage wasn’t such a bad idea after all. For me, there is no other. And having an entire day dedicated towards declaring our love for each other didn’t sound so lame anymore – it began to seem like fun.

So we got ‘engaged,’ though I think it was always assumed we would marry ‘one day.’ Well that ‘one day’ has turned into Aug. 4, 2017, and every single day brings us closer to our wedding date.

I am not the girl who spent her entire life carefully plotting and planning the wedding of her dreams. I started from square one – what did I want? Then, I moved to square two – it should be ‘our’ day. So I asked my future husband what he wanted. His response: ‘I don’t want to wear a suit.’

From there, I built the wedding of ‘our dreams,’ with a lot of help from

JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION my future sister-in-law.

I thought planning a wedding was going to be a pain – all the details and prep work required. But it actually hasn’t been that bad. I guess situations are what you make of them. To me, getting married is a day to celebrate and have fun.

We are having a backyard wedding, with none of the frills, because we are not frilly people. My dress cost $45 and even that seemed extravagant – I am not one to buy new clothes.

We are going to stand-up with our children, instead of having bridesmaids and groomsmen, because our kids are the ones we really want to share the day with.

My daughter’s dress actually took me longer to find than my own. It had to be perfect – blue, and lacy, and beautiful like her.

To me, the music was the most important part, so that’s what I spent the most time on – selecting each song myself. And the playlist is epic.

Even though I never thought it would happen, marriage – as it turns out – is a great excuse to have a party!

Market fresh

Many people attended opening day of the Kemptville Farmers’ Market on Sunday, May 21, searching for nature’s best produce. The market is located in the B&H parking lot at 200 Sanders St. The official grand opening of the market will take place on June 4.

We have entered the Golden age on the Fisher farm

he Farmer and I have entered a new era. After ten years of marriage, at the ages of 61 and 49, we have welcomed a new baby into our lives.

He is a Golden Retriever and we have decided, after much debate, to name him Fergus.

The Farmer wanted to name him Red. He is a red type rather than the English blond type of Golden, but I argued that “Red” is simply a colour and not a name. I wanted to name him Finn, but perhaps that is more fitting of an Irish setter.

Goldens come from Scotland. We were watching Outlander on Netflix one night when the name came to me. He will be known as Fergus the Red. Fergie for short.

We have received a great deal of advice on how to train this puppy.

Some say you should crate the dog beside your bed so you can get up in the night to put him outside.

This will speed up house training.

However, I was reminded that if you allow the pup to sleep in your room as a pup, he will think it is his room going forward. I don’t want to be sharing my room with a huge dog that is dreaming loudly

The Accidental Farmwife DIANA FISHER

about chasing rabbits and snoring in his sleep. When I mentioned this to my husband he said, “Well, you could always go sleep in the other room!”

Fergus was tucked into his pet carrier on the first night. This was settled into the larger crate which will from now on be his safe place for naps and bedtime and anytime he wants to get away from us, our visitors and our house cats. (Although we haven’t seen much of said house cats since Fergus arrived.)

I left the door to the carrier open so that Fergus could use the puppy pads in the larger crate if need be. And there was a need, the first night. The second night, I awoke a couple times in the night and brought him outside to relieve

himself in the long grass that I have designated as his toilet area.

His crate pad stayed dry.

The first full day at home, Fergus roamed around and explored every corner in the house. He discovered that although he can wedge himself under or between many different pieces of furniture, he cannot always extricate himself.

He is very quiet, and doesn’t know his name yet so I spent a few minutes looking for him before finally discovering him stuck uncomfortably in a tight space under the spare bed. I decided to block the exits so he has to stay in the room with me.

I also used up about half a bottle of enzyme spray to eradicate pup accident odours. We are starting to learn each other’s language so hopefully in the next week or so we will go through a day without an indoor mess. It’s hard to know when he is planning a pee when he spends the majority of each day with his nose to the ground, sniffing. Always sniffing.

The other thing Fergus loves to do is chew. He has a variety of chew toys in different strengths

so that he can exercise his needlesharp teeth. Unfortunately he likes toes and fingers the best. I have the marks to prove it. But for the most part our tiny Golden Retriever wants to please us. It is obvious that he is looking for instruction, so we just have to figure out how to tell him what we expect, and to reinforce it.

This is all new to me so, of course, I am reading. I’m learning how to train our pup so that he can soon go off on road trips with the Farmer/Real Estate Agent. It wasn’t our intention to buy a puppy.

We have both always owned rescue dogs from shelters. But despite

contacting all area shelters and registering with Golden Rescue, we were unable to find a retriever that way, so we had to place an order for one of a spring litter.

Fergus is the Farmer’s “retirement dog”, although that man may never really retire. He has always wanted a Golden, so I suppose he deserves one. It’s plenty of work, training and cleaning up after this little creature but I realize he will only be little for so long.

Thank goodness he sleeps a lot, because I am exhausted. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Barsaeinrs

Visit www.travelalerts.ca/Backyard

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Prove yourself with actions instead of words, Aries. Your productivity will not speak for itself, so you may need to do some self-promotion to get the word out.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you know what needs to get done. Now it is just a matter of finding the time to accomplish everything. Simplify things by writing all of your tasks down.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Explaining a proposal may require some creative thinking, Sagittarius.

Make a list of all the talking points and then narrow down your options this week.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words will carry a lot of weight when you speak about a topic that is dear to your heart.

Others might be inspired by your message, and you can recruit helpers.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You may have to explain your point of view over and over again before others see your way of thinking, Virgo.

Don’t let this discourage you this week.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you tend to hold yourself to a very high standard because you always want to do your best the first time out of the gate.

Others appreciate your dedication.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Do not get caught up in gossip and hearsay, Gemini. That can compromise your credibility at work and among friends. Stay focused on your responsibilities.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, once you are knee-deep in a project, you may not need to take frequent breaks. You’re ready to plow through to the finish line and reap the rewards of hard work.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, sometimes it seems as if you have a sixth sense, especially where finding good deals are concerned. You’re happy to be the shopper of the family.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 While you shouldn’t compare yourself to others too often, once in a while it can illustrate just how far you have come. Why not compare against the person you once were?

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, no matter which words come out of your mouth, others are compelled to listen when you speak.

Recognize the impact your words can have on others.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, extreme focus on a subject can be a help or a hindrance.

Remember to remain flexible in the next few days.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

Don’t get exhausted with replacement of emissions control catalytic converter “Hi Brian, We are looking at a new SUV (Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson), and others in that size range. My question is about the direct injection engines that are in a lot of these. Is the carbon buildup on the intake valves a big issue with these engines? Escape has new 1.5 and 2.0 Eco-Boost engines, replacing the 1.6 and 2.0 of 2016. Any issues with these that you know of?

Thanks very much, Darren” Good question. Early direct injection engines did have some problems with this, but pretty much every carmaker has now worked out the kinks with new software controlling injection and ignition timing. None of the makes/models you're looking at have any reported problems in this area to my knowledge.

Don’t get exhausted. A common but expensive repair on many older vehicles is the replacement of

the emissions control catalytic converter. Whether due to poor maintenance histories or unexpected failures of related sensors and components, when your shop tells you your ride needs a new converter, be prepared for a price shock. Many of these units on common run-of-themill autos run well over $1,000 (not including labour or tax), and some use multiple converter assemblies mounted on pipes that easily double that figure. But is there a more economical solution?

First, no tech or shop worth their salt will ever recommend replacing a catalytic converter without first checking and rectifying upstream faults. Converters never fail on their own (except for corrosion leaks), but are usually the victims of a poorly running engine caused by any number of problems. Worn spark plugs, defective fuel and emission control sensors, and even failed head gaskets can lead to their demise, to name but a few. Without

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

first correcting any contributing problems, you can easily have to repeat the wallet-shattering converter job again.

Not all consumers know there are supplier choices when dealing with this repair and the cost differences can be astounding. Certainly, you can always source converters from the dealerships, but aftermarket firms cover the majority of applications as well. Reputable companies such as Walker carry and distribute a full line of direct-fit converters with the correct pipes and bends required for an easy fit and long lasting result. For an even less ex-

pensive option, you can check out universal converters, but beware: it will take a skilled tech with established cutting and welding skills to get these fitted without any leaks or pipe misalignment. And if your vehicle has sensors mounted directly into the converter’s case, you’ll have to make sure the replacement universal unit has the proper fittings for these.

Salvage or auto-recycling yards are still worth the call, but not all keep converters anymore. The special metals used in their interior construction keeps them high in demand by precious metal recyclers and these companies will pay top dollar to any salvage facility.

On Saturday, May 27, the Kanata Rib-fest & Cruising for CHEO Car Show (KanataRibfest.ca) rolls into the Kanata Recreation Centre at 100 Charlie Rogers Pl. in Kanata (Terry Fox Drive across from A&W Restaurant). There will be some very cool prizes: car packs,

weekend getaways, car services, and of course, free ribs and barbecue for some lucky drivers. A $10 donation is required for car show exhibitors.

The show runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

She will be dearly missed but remembered with love always. Mom always had a cat, or several, from the time she was a child until she made Lanark Lodge her home. Her last cat, Tinker, was a loved companion that she missed dearly. The family is very grateful for the care and love Mom received by the dedicated Staff at Lanark Lodge. She will be dearly missed and remembered with love always.

You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye.

You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place, That only you can fill.

It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone.

Part of me went with you, The day God took you home.

Dearly loved and sadly missed Love always Judy

Tonight the stars are shining On a lonely silent grave Where sleeps in dreamless slumber One we could not save, No one knows the silent heartaches Only those who lost can tell Of the grief we bear in silence For the one we loved so well.

So when the winds of love blow softly And whisper so you’ll hear We will always love and miss you And wish that you were here.

North Grenville to install flag poles in Oxford Mills, Bishops Mills Just in time for Canada’s 150th birthday, North Grenville council has approved the installation of flag poles in Bishops Mills and Oxford Mills.

The matter was endorsed unanimously during the May 15 committee of the whole meeting, after council directed staff back on Feb. 21 to come back with costing for erecting flag poles in the four hamlets: Bishops Mills, Oxford Mills, Burritts Rapids and Heckston.

According to facilities superintendent Kevin Henry, staff are recommending that flag poles be installed at the community hall in Bishops Mills and the former town hall in Oxford Mills, but not in Heckston as there is no suitable location.

“In Burritts Rapids, we determined there is no good location for a flag pole and the community association there has already purchased wallmounted flag holders for their hall, so we’re proposing hydro pole mounted banners,” he explained.

According to a report prepared by parks, recreation and culture director

Nepean doctor facing sexual assault charges

Mark Guy, the total cost of work for the three locations is $5,262.50 plus taxes. Two commercial aluminum flag poles ($1,212.50 each) and 36’ by 72’ flags at $100, will be purchased for Oxford Mills. Bishops Mills will receive the same flag but one flag pole.

The municipality will install the flag pole in Oxford Mills, but the Bishops Mills Community Association will handle their project. Four Canadian banners ($400) and hardware ($600), will be installed in Burritts Rapids by a contractor at a cost estimate of

$400.

“Staff are recommending that the municipality cover the costs of the initial Canadian flags put on the poles,” Guy stated in his report. “The hamlets would then be responsible for the costs associated with replacing the flags after this. It is expected that each hamlet will have a flag flying at most times.”

As the project was not included in the 2017 approved budget, the funds will come from the parks and recreation reserve fund, which had

$638,946 as of Jan. 1. Chief administrative officer Brian Carré noted the motion must also include an amendment to approve the funds to be taken from the parks and recreation reserve.

“These items were not budgeted by this council, however, staff were given the task to identify where the poles could be located at the cost,” he explained.

Guy indicated the initiative has a link to North Grenville’s community strategic plan.

A family doctor who worked in the city's west-end is facing multiple sexual assault charges.

The Ottawa police Sexual Assault and Child Abuse unit has charged Walid Al-Houssan, 56, with three counts of sexual assault, one count of sexual interference of a female under 16 and one count of sexual exploitation of a person with a disability.

The investigation started in 2016 and dates back to 2012. So far, three female complainants have been identified by police.

According to his registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, Al-Houssan’s primary practice location is at the Sunrise Medical Centre on Merivale Road in Nepean. He also practices in Kemptville. He graduated from the University of Damascus in 1986, and has been a member of the Ontario College since October 2006. His specialty is family medicine.

Al-Houssan was scheduled to appear in court on May 18.

Anyone with information regarding the investigation is asked to call the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944.

Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by downloading the Ottawa Police app.

achievement of Section 5.1 – the municipality will work with partners to create opportunities for local residents to…celebrate local culture and heritage,” he said.

Mayor David Gordon joked that he’d be sad to see the current flag pole in Oxford Mills go.

“I’m supporting the motion, but I see some people from Oxford Mills here tonight and you have to admit, the old flag pole has some charm,” he remarked. “I see there are no smiles there at all.”

North Grenville receives grant funding for new County Road 44 gravity sanitary main The governments of Canada and Ontario are committed to investing in local infrastructure that ensures Canadians and their families have access to modern, reliable water and wastewater services that meet their needs.

These investments safeguard the health and well-being of residents, protect waterways and preserve local ecosystems, while also laying the foundation for new economic opportunities to strengthen the middle class across the province.

A May 23 announcement will see North Grenville receive $189,015 in federal funding and $94,508 in provincial monies for the new construction of a polyvinyl chloride gravity sanitary main on County Road 44. In addition to this project, $24.7 million in federal funding for 128 water and wastewater projects will benefit 47 other communities across Ontario.

“Investing in water and wastewater treatment is essential to maintaining a healthy environment and providing access to clean, reliable drinking water,”

said Maryam Monsef, Minister of Status of Women and PeterboroughKawartha MP, on behalf of Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. “The Government of Canada is working with provinces, territories and municipalities across the country to support important projects…which ensure that Canadian communities are healthy and sustainable now and for years to come.”

This investment is part of an agreement between Canada and Ontario for the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund.

The Government of Canada will provide more than $180 billion in infrastructure funding over 12 years for public transit, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, transportation that supports trade, and Canada's rural and northern communities.

Budget 2017 proposes $21.9 billion for investments for green infrastructure.

This amount includes $5 billion that will be available for investment through the Canada Infrastructure Bank.

The Government of Ontario is mak-

ing the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, public transit, roads and bridges, and water and wastewater infrastructure in the province's history – more

than $190 billion in public infrastructure over 13 years, which first began in 20142015.

This year, the Mayor’s Annual Rural Expo and Food Aid Day is taking place at City Hall on Friday, June 2nd. This event raises funds in support of the Ottawa Food Bank while providing a forum to showcase all of the unique features of rural Ottawa within the downtown core.

Come check out rural vendors and displays, and stay for a BBQ lunch with burgers cooked by the Works restaurant. There will be live entertainment, a celebrity milking contest and petting zoo on site. We hope that you can join us for a fun filled afternoon. The Food Aid BBQ helps the Ottawa Food Bank raise funds to sustain its food programs and support local farmers. All proceeds from the BBQ are donated to the Ottawa Food Bank.

To kick off the month, there is nothing more exciting than a rousing meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee!

Our upcoming June 1st meeting agenda includes the following items: • Surplus Farm Severance Zoning Amendments for: o 2638 Mackey Road o 4779 Carp Road o 6462 First Line Road • Report on Coach Houses in the Rural area on private services • Manotick Mahogany Harbour Dock Project • Rural Residential Land Survey: 2015-16 Update • Hobbs Municipal Drain • All-Way Stop Control at Van Vliet Road & South River Drive • 1229 Dwyer Hill Road Development Charge Report The report on coach houses in the rural area is the response to a direction that had been given by ARAC in the fall. Staff were asked to look at ways of reducing costs and process on building a coach house on private services in the rural area.

The proposal before ARAC on June 1st does that. However, I feel more could be done and Committee will explore those options at the meeting.

The report on the Mahogany Harbour Dock will provide an update on the status of this project and speak to the temporary Parks Canada facility being installed this season. It will also lay out the City’s role going forward from an ongoing maintenance perspective.

As usual, the monthly ARAC meeting is held at 10:00am at Ben Franklin Place in Centrepointe.

Merrickville and District Historical Society discuss Mary Ann Church May 30 In mid-19th-century Merrickville, Upper Canada, Mary Ann Haydon Church spoke as a confident voice of universalism. In 1838, she was recognized as a preacher in the newly-formed Universalist Society in Upper Canada, and the first woman among more than 400 male universalist preachers in North America.

Rev. Dr. Heather Fraser Fawcett will make a presentation on Mary Ann Church to the Merrickville and District Historical Society Tuesday, May 30 at 7 p.m. in the Royal Canadian Legion in Merrickville.

“Mary Ann Haydon Church brought universalism to flower in Johnstown District with the zeal of a convert, with her experience as a longtime preacher, and with her understanding of family and community,” Fawcett said.

By the mid-1840s, four universalist congregations existed in the Johnstown District — Carleton Place, Ramsay, Dalhousie, and Merrickville.

Members included all levels of society. Families known to have had universalists among their own include Mirick, McGee, Easton, McCrea, Leggo, Church, Scanlon, McBrea, Bissell, Smith, Mills, Riddel, Gates, Weldon, and Brownlee.

Locally, from the mid1830s through to the 1860s, universalism was in its prime, but by the 1890s universalists had all but disappeared as other faiths softened their theology, and as the original universalists moved or died.

Through the early decades of Merrickville, they stood as an alternative faith, believing in a loving God and in universal salvation.

The 26-year-old Mary Ann met Dr. Basil Church in the spring of 1833 in Brattleboro, Vt., while she led a group from Nova Scotia undertaking a Methodist revival. Basil married Mary Ann Hayden Church in Brockville in July 1834.

In Merrickville, they took up residence in what she referred to as Hybia Cottage.

The frame house was briefly

the home of one of Colonel By’s engineers, Edward Charles Frome, during the construction of the Rideau Canal locks.

She was increasingly feisty and confident in the defence of her faith until her health began to decline in the 1850s.

After his 1851 visit to Merrickville, J.W. Bailey, a universalist from Madrid, N.Y., noted: “Mrs. Church is so out of health that she has abandoned her public labours, and for the most part of the time, keeps her room … She is a very intelligent and interesting lady — is largely imbued with the spirit of the gospel — her whole soul seems to be electrified by the truth — and she expresses a confident hope that she shall preach again before she dies. God grant that it may be realized.”

In 1807, Mary Ann Church was born in Cornwall, U.K. Following her death in 1877, she was interred in Merrickville Union Cemetery.

NOT ENOUGH HOMES FOR CATS AND DOGS

This cat should have been spayed.

Spaying/Neutering prevents the births of cats and dogs for whom no homes can be found. In Canada, tens of thousands of cats and dogs are put to death annually in pounds and shelters because there are not enough homes for them.

And how many more die on the streets from sickness, injury and starvation?

PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS.

SUMMER CAMP BEGINS AT What an experience, spend a week as a Zookeeper in training!

Children who attend Camp at Saunders Country Critters will shape and expand their knowledge of animals and conservation. Not to mention it will be a week they won’t soon forget. Campers will experience first-hand what goes into providing for both the mental and physical health of the animals that call Saunders home.

With over 200 mouths to feed, camp days are very full and busy. Our programs encourage respect and stewardship of the natural world and provides a better understanding of our place within it.

With a limited number of camps and a limited number of spots, camp sells out quickly so register early to avoid disappointment.

Camp runs from 9am to 4pm daily.

Contact us for details.
