LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Some 18,000 poppies were distributed last year in Smiths Falls.

That’s according to the poppy chair at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95, Jean Lasenba.

“We also distributed 290 crosses and wreaths to businesses and members in the community,” she said Friday, Oct. 26 at the legion during the annual kickoff of the campaign.

It was the official poppy pinning as Mayor Shawn Pankow received the first poppy.

With the legalization of cannabis, comes a natural question for Smiths Falls.

Will cannabis be a tourism draw the same way chocolate used to be?

With Canopy Growth Corporation and Tweed now spilling over Hershey's old footprint with expansion and development, things are looking good. Smiths Falls now has a spotlight pointed directly on it - and this time, it's not negative.

International media, investors and business people have been flocking to town curious to see how the "cannabis experiment" is going.

"We've hosted 20 countries here, I expect we'll host a lot more," said Bruce Linton, co-CEO, founder and chairman of Canopy Growth Corporation, before an audience at Tweed in Smiths Falls on Oct. 17, the day cannabis became legal across the country. Linton said people are curious about learning about how to regulate and educate people about cannabis, in addition to learning about the innovation going on behind the company's walls.

He said what could also

into a tourist destination," said Jordan Sinclair, director of communications and media with Canopy Growth, in an interview earlier this year with the Record News. "We want people coming through town and shopping at the local shops and eating at the local restaurants, and all the types of things that come off of the spillover effect from having a tourist destination in the community."

Now, with cannabis legalization a reality in Canada, the town is poised for further growth driven by the biggest cannabis producer in the country, not only because their investment in town has stimulated growth and further investment leading to increased tax revenue and development, but also because the company is once again drawing tourists, journalists and businesses people from across the country and the world to Smiths Falls for positive reasons.

The increased interest in Smiths Falls has locals looking up after a series of industry closures left them in a lurch.

SMITHS FALLS POISED TO BE CANNABIS TOURIST DESTINATION draw more tourists to town is being able to buy legal weed at their production site in Smiths Falls.

Currently, the province has carved out rules that would allow licensed producers to have retail space at their production facilities. The Town of Smiths Falls has been a fierce advocate for this, lobbying repeatedly for it.

Move over "Chocolate Capital of Ontario," Smiths Falls is now the Canada's (and maybe, in the era of legalization, even the world's) cannabis capital.

It's estimated that the chocolate factory attracted approximately 300,000 to 400,000 tourists to town annually. Linton has reported that he hopes Tweed's newly opened visitor centre will draw at least some of those tourists back.

The visitor centre, which opened this August, both resurrects and reimagines the tourism potential for Smiths Falls.

The visitor centre features a museum-style experience where visitors can explore the history of cannabis and Tweed's cannabis growing facility. Think of it as the Willy Wonka experience for weed.

TWO RIVERS FOOD HUB LAUNCHES NEW WINTER FARMERS' MARKET The next market is set for Saturday, Nov. 24.

There will be no market during the month of December.

PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com For those who mourn the end of market season, fear not: Smiths Falls is now home to a new winter farmers' market, hosted by the Two Rivers Food Hub. The market is held in the gymnasium of the Gallipeau Centre on the last Saturday of every month, and a variety of local farmers, artisans and producers gather to sell their wares.

Jessica Carroll of Reid Acres Farm from Merrickville was one of the participating vendors at the inaugural market on Oct. 27, offering attendees fresh pulled pork on a bun.

Carroll sells her locally raised pork products as well as homemade soap bars, candles, and lip balm.

She explained that lard from the local farm's pork is used in many of the beauty products. One of the candle varieties offered is made with lard and bees-

Carroll also sells handknitted dish cloths made by her mother.

The markets will be held n the last Saturday of every month, excluding December. products using all natural ingredients.

A range of flavours are offered, including Cranberry Pumpkin Seed, Tahitian Vanilla Coconut, and Maca Matcha Superfood.

All of the blends are free of

nuts, gluten, eggs, soy, and dairy.

Husband and wife banjo/mandolin duo, Rosalyn Dennett and Rob McLaren of Old Pony were on site providing live music at the market.

In February, 2018, the Two Rivers Food Hub stopped distribution operations. It operates commercial kitchens for rent to farmers, food processors and small businesses.

The food hub has also been a local foods distributor, expanding markets and moving over $1 million worth of food since distribution services began in 2015, the hub reported in a press release sent to The Record News earlier this year.

Working with over 90 producers, Two Rivers filled a niche in local food distribution in the middle between the farmers' mar-

ket and the large-scale 'broad line' distributors servicing the wholesale purchasing community.

Two Rivers closed distribution operations because of a confluence of factors, the most significant being a decision that saw an expected investor pull out of negotiations.

General manager Bruce Enloe said in February: "I fully support, and feel very strongly about, our local food producers. They work so hard, and contribute so much to the quality of our lives with amazing, fresh food."

A food hub can mean different things in different communities, but at its heart, it is an initiative that tries to form a link to complete the local food value chain, from local farmers to a wider range of consumers.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

The Record News stopped by Two Rivers Food Hub for its inaugural winter market opening to see how extending the farmers' market season will impact local producers and consumers.

RECOUNT REQUESTED IN ELIZABETHTOWN-KITLEY EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com For most municipalities in Ontario, elections were over last Monday. For Elizabethtown-Kitley, their municipal election isn't over yet.

Mayoral candidate Dan Downey has requested that votes cast in this past municipal election's mayoral race be recounted. Downey lost the election by six votes to mayor-elect, Brant Burrow.

"I sort of expected it," said Burrow, who learned of the requested recount on Monday, Oct. 29.

The results, proclaiming he would be the new mayor of Elizabethtown-Kitley, were released on Monday, Oct. 22.

The official results showed that Burrow received 1,141 votes and Downey, 1,135. A third mayoral candidate, Jim Miller, received 930 votes.

Downey, also a current sitting councillor in Eliza-

bethtown-Kitley, said he's planning to put the motion forward to request the recount on Nov. 5.

This is the first time the two-term councillor in the township has run for mayor.

"It would be controversial if we didn't do it," he said.

Downey reported that it he's been asked by the public about whether or not a recount would be held, seeing as the results were so close.

Downey said his hope in requesting a recount is not that the results will be different, but rather that the recount cancels any doubt about the results.

In an emailed statement to this newspaper, Yvonne Robert, administrator-clerk for the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley, reported that she was advised of the recount request made by Downey through the township's outgoing mayor, Jim Pickard, on the morning of Monday, Oct. 29.

Robert said a special meeting of council has been called for Monday, Nov. 5,

CANNABIS AND YOU

CANNABIS TOURISM OPPORTUNITY FOR SMITHS FALLS Continued from page 3

istrative officer, said one of the town's seven main priorities, outlined in the strategic plan drafted in 2015, is tourism. Tweed set up shop in the old Hershey factory only five years ago.

In 2015, Morris said the town didn't know that it would be poised to potentially benefit from cannabis tourism. However, Morris reported it will be up to the new council to decide to what extent cannabis tourism will be promoted as part of the town's offerings.

"It's in the realm of our tourism marketing envelope," he said. "We'd be remiss if we didn't work with and leverage that for the benefit of the town."

Morris said capitalizing on people's curiosity that surrounds cannabis, a substance which has been illegal for recreational use for the last 95 years, will certainly be intriguing.

"Where would we be today had Bruce not knocked on our door?" said Mayor Shawn Pankow on the day of cannabis legalization.

"We've taken 20 or 30 years of development and compressed it into three of four years."

He said along with development and an improved financial picture for a town, Tweed, the largest licensed producer in Canada, presents a unique opportunity to enhance the tourism offerings in town.

Colorado legalized cannabis in 2014. Shannon Gray, of the state's Department of Revenue's Marijuana Enforcement Division, pointed to a document that speaks to the trends in cannabis sales for visitors to the state.

According the document, sent to the Record News by Gray, titled Market Size and Demand for Marijuana in Colorado: 2017 Market Update, per

capita cannabis sales are high in regions with large numbers of annual visitors, indicating that tourists account for a sizable portion of sales.

Those sales in Colorado translate into tax revenue benefiting state and local governments. Gray reported that marijuana sales todate since legalization are over $5.5 billion and tax revenue to-date since legalization is almost $840 million.

However, according to the document provided by Gray: "State tourism accounting likely does not accurately capture the number of "sole-purpose" visitors-those visitors choosing Colorado exclusively for its legalized marijuana market, and the existing consumption surveys do not account for the likely higher than the average consumption from those visitors."

Cannabis tourism and reporting is still in the in-

fancy for many regions that have chosen to legalize cannabis. The Colorado case appears to present a hopeful case for Smiths Falls.

But Tweed isn't the only tourist draw in town. Others hope to tag along for the ride and potentially capitalize on cannabis, too.

Even Le Boat, Europe's largest self-driving boat company, is hoping to get aboard the Tweed train. Le Boat just celebrated their first year as a company offering cruises in Canada on the Rideau Canal, after opening their North American headquarters in Smiths Falls last fall.

"They're (Tweed) doing some great tours of the factory. Whether you are for the legalization of cannabis or not, everybody's sort of got an opinion," said Cheryl Brown, managing director of Le Boat. "For me, I would find that tour really fascinating."

Brown said their com-

Brown said when she comes back to Smiths Falls in November she wants to meet with the folks at Tweed to discuss how they can work together.

"Whether we like it or not, they (our customers) are coming to Le Boat and then they're finding a way of doing a tour of the cannabis factory," said Brown.

"My view is, let's work together."

However, she said: "Am I going to be putting chocolate cannabis on my customers' pillows on arrival?

Probably not."

For both the food bank and Cornerstone Landing, cash helps them cover much needed aspects of their work.

For the food bank, it helps them purchase items that need to be bought for the clients.

"It helps cover the things that don't get donated - meat, dairy butter," said Leigh Craig, Smiths Falls Community Food Bank board member.

For Cornerstone Landing,

OPINION EDITORIAL

TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT INSIDEOTTAWAVALLEY.COM

NON-VOTERS SNUB DEMOCRACY Congratulations to all the successful candidates in the municipal elections.

In fact congratulations to everyone who put their name forward to ensure voters had a choice this year.

That certainly wasn't the case in all of Ontario's municipalities.

There's a disturbing trend that is seeing more and more acclamations in 120 municipalities, including Beckwith and Drummond-North Elmsley.

In all, 26 full councils, including almost 500 councillors, were acclaimed this year up from 18 four years ago.

It's not easy being a council member these days what with all the complexities and liabilities imposed on municipal officials from above. Add the modern demands of the job, the need to keep up with continually changing trends and technology, and the insidious pressure coming from social media critics, it's a wonder anyone runs for council.

It's certainly not for the pay. As it is a part-time job, often with full-time hours, it requires an ability to juggle municipal duties with one's job unless you happen to be retired. And while many retirees prove to be effective councillors, it's better to have more diversity on council (there are still far too few female candidates) than having all members over 60. In Smiths Falls, voters elected first-time councillors Niki Dwyer and Christopher McGuire, both under 35 years of age.

So special compliments to first-time candidates, especially the younger ones who brave getting snubbed by older voters distrustful of the new generation.

It's unfortunate that it usually takes turmoil to engage the electorate. For example, in Carleton Place, "out of 7,820 registered electors, 4,302 voted, which is a turnout of 55.01 per cent," deputy clerk/returning officer Stacey Blair noted. In Mississippi Mills, voter turnout was 59.7 per cent and in North Grenville, 47.1 per cent, matching its all-time best 2010 numbers. In Smiths Falls, 49.8 per cent of voters headed to the polls, down from 53 per cent in 2014.

With most municipalities into their second or third elections with Internet, telephone and/or mail-in balloting that features an extended voting period, there should be no excuse for people not to vote. Even if you don't think most candidates are worthy of your support, at least vote for one or two, or even cast a blank ballot as a sign of protest.

Of course, that would mean making an effort to find out enough to make an informed choice. But not doing so is a slap in the face to those who made the effort to put their names forward for election in an effort to make a difference. And especially an insult to those we're honouring over the next two weeks, good citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could democratically choose our leaders. Your ancestors and ours.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER HOPEFUL FOR ROUNDTABLE REINSTATEMENT DEAR EDITOR,

It was good to see Ontario Attorney General Caroline Mulroney recognized during her recent visit that "beauty alone is not enough to sustain the justice needs" of individuals accessing the historic Perth courthouse. Given that many of the cases heard there are related to men who have committed violence against women, it is truly unfortunate that Mulroney said not a word about her government pulling the plug on the provincial Roundtable on Violence Against Women.

The Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability reports that a woman is killed by a man every other day in this country (rates of physical, emotional, and psychological violence against women are sky-high as well). We need the expertise of groups like the all-volunteer Roundtable to work with the provincial gov-

ernment on how best to prevent and end this violence. Besides, by the time such a case gets to court (and a great majority of violence against women cases never even make it there), it is usually too late: the damage has already been done.

SMITHS FALLS, TREATING YOU RIGHT! DEAR EDITOR,

Recently at 11:10 p.m. on a Saturday night my car and I dramatically ended up in a ditch near Drummond Centre. Within five minutes an ambulance drove on past. But they had seen my tire marks and gravel left on Highway 7. Phew, they cancelled their other call and turned around expecting the worst coming on the scene.

The Smiths Falls paramedics were calming, kind and really on the ball on

the way to the Perth hospital. There, I had an electrocardiogram and a close friend drove me home.

Is it ever reassuring to have topnotch paramedics caring for you in time of need.

Now on Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2018 on a 28-degree Celsius day, I enjoyed a takeout supper at a picnic table in Centennial Park in Smiths Falls. The views of the Rideau Basin and Victoria Park were very picturesque.

After my supper, I walked around to Victoria Park. There I said a cheery "BOO!" to the two white swans guarding parkland and water alike. Recognizing me from an earlier visit, I'm sure, they paddled alongside as I walked along the concrete edge.

Even after I waved goodbye, they returned for an encore.

I felt very privileged.

You Smiths Falls folks are very fortunate to have such timely and capable paramedics as well as two glad-to-meet-you white swans.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

Continued from page 5

(is) passed, the clerk will have 15 days to conduct the recount," she said.

Pickard said in his memory an election hasn't been won by such a close margin. Pickard himself has been the township's mayor since he was elected in 2003. He decided not to run again this time. In three previous elections, 2006, 2010 and 2014, Pickard was acclaimed.

Pickard said that council will discuss the recount request on Nov. 12. If council decides not to grant the request, the applicant could choose to get a judge to decide, he said.

"I don't envy the task of council," said Burrow, now waiting to see if he will still remain mayorelect after the recount.

According to Ontario's Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, recounts must be con-

ducted in the same way that the votes were originally counted, unless the recount is ordered by the court.

The ministry said when a re-

count is ordered by the court, the judge may order that the votes be counted in a different manner if the judge believes that the way the votes were counted the first

time was an issue.

The deadline for the recount, if agreed to by council, is Nov. 22.

Others elected as councillors include: Earl Brayton (1,510

votes), Christina Eady (1,619 votes), Tom Linton (1,335 votes), Susan Prettejohn (1,319 votes), Eleanor Leacock Renaud (1,662 votes) and Rob Smith (1,911).

tawa on Oct. 22, noted legion president Jim Jenkins.

This year the legion has introduced a “digital poppy” available online at www.mypoppy.ca from Oct. 26 to Nov. 11. For a donation of $2 or more, the digital poppy can be shared on subscribers’ posts via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social media.

Subscribers can personalize their poppy with stories, images and dedications, and money raised online will be sent to the legion branch form the area the donation was made.

Funds raised during the campaign go back into communities to support veterans and their families, Jenkins said.

Approximately $35,000 was raised last year from the poppy campaign locally, and supported veterans on various bus trips. It also helps to provide luncheons for veterans.

The legion also supports children: those in school in the form of bursaries, those who are involved in cadets, and students who compete in the poems, posters and essays contest.

LOCAL SERVICES Remembrance Day falls on Sunday, Nov. 11 this year, and as such, Jenkins said he hopes those schoolchildren who taken part in previous years, will still come out this year.

“We have lots of kids who come out for the service,” he said. “I hope they

COUNCIL

LANARK COUNTY HITS THE GROUND RUNNING ON BR+E PROJECT ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com The County of Lanark is taking action to ensure its existing businesses are fully supported for the future.

On July 31, the launch of a county-wide Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) Project was announced.

The project is a partnership between the county and Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) and comes out of the action plans from Lanark County's recently completed strategic plan.

County councillors received further insight into the roll-out of the program during a presentation from Valley Heartland CFDC regional economic development officer Stacie Lloyd

and BR+E co-ordinator Teri Devine, at the Aug. 29 economic development committee meeting in Perth.

Lloyd said since approval of the strategic plan in December, funding was secured and Devine was hired in June to oversee the project over the next year.

She brings with her a wealth of knowledge of the BR+E model as an advisor with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and as former economic development officer with the Municipality of North Grenville.

The BR+E concept, an OMAFRA model in place since 1998, is an "action-oriented, community-based and volunteer driven project," Devine said.

"They (OMAFRA) pro-

vide the tools for the project ... and have delivered over 260 projects successfully across Ontario. As Stacie mentioned, I've been involved in a couple of them over the years," she continued.

Devine is passionate about BR+E. "I believe in it.

I know most jobs in our communities come from the businesses that are already here so we need to work with those businesses, nurture those businesses and identify the opportunities to help them grow and continue to create jobs in our communities. “This is a great way to do that."

The project, which will span a year, involves the recruitment and training of volunteers to conduct confidential visits with local businesses. "It's face-to-

COMMUNITY RESOURCES

face interviews with businesses done by volunteers," Devine explained.

"We gather volunteers, they sign confidentiality agreements and go out to do the business visits for us, which is great community capacity building.

During that time as well, businesses may provide input, feedback, comments, complaints, whatever that is. We address those issues as well."

The data is collected through a standardized survey of 66 questions, including a section of 15 questions specific to Lanark County's communities.

"So there's a lot of data and a lot of great information that we gather to support your efforts in economic development," she stated.

With all data in hand,

PARK IT!

the information will be analyzed and an action plan will be produced "for implementation with county council and the community." That conclusion of the project with that action plan is set for July 2019.

Volunteers needed Right now, Devine said the project is still in phase one with the recruitment of more than 30 project team members. "These are members of our community, community leaders, service and business organizations, our partners that all work together to provide and support business."

The first project team meeting was held Aug. 28 at the county's municipal office in Perth, where an overview of the project and training session was held.

OMAFRA regional advisor Katie Nolan also provided guidance.

However, the big push right now is retaining 60 to 70 volunteer visitors by November to conduct the approximately 95 to 110 confidential business interviews. The business selection is to be completed by December, with random business visits to run from January to March 2019.

For more information on the progress of the BR+E project, visit valleycfdc.com/brande. Presently, 25 volunteers have been recruited, but the project is in need of more.

Those interested in participating in volunteer business visits should contact Teri Devine at 613283-7002 ext. 111, 613-2075940 or email bre@valleycfdc.com.

cruiting the best and brightest cannabis experts on earth to Smiths Falls," Morris said, "This influx of expertise into a relatively small town has resulted in a fun and exciting new culture developing. The synergistic capacity of a town like this to launch a bunch of businesses and new technologies is incredible.

It feels like the new Silicon Valley for cannabis technologies."

Another business with the potential to further cement Smiths Falls' reputation as an innovation hub for innovative, precision manufacturing is the world-class, industryleading manufacturer, Guildline Instruments.

Founded in Smiths Falls in 1957, Guildline operates in a specialized field, designing, manufacturing and marketing specialized instruments for use in metrology and oceanography. Guildline's instruments are now considered to be the gold standard for the metrology or measurement science industry, and according to Industry Canada, are the official standard instruments in at least 55 countries around the world.

Smiths Falls offers companies like Guildline a prime location only a short drive to the nation's capital and the centre of research and innovation for the nation, the National Research Council, while also situated close to universities and colleges in both Ottawa and Kingston.

Guildline Instruments' president, Richard Timmons, explained that Smiths Falls has a substantially lower housing cost which is helpful in attracting and retaining a skilled workforce, along with a lower cost to do business overall. All this, according to Timmons, in a town that still has a small town community feel that See TOWN, page 18

Smiths Falls placed in Tweed's vision has paid off.

"Smiths Falls has a long-standing history of fostering innovative industry, so it made sense to wholeheartedly welcome Tweed to the community in 2014," manager of economic development, Jennifer Miller, said, "As legalization introduces itself across the country, now is an excellent time to punctuate the national conversation with our capacity to expand, grow, and support cannabis enterprises."

Besides industry giants like Frost & Wood and Tweed, a succession of other pioneering initiatives have also found their way to Smiths Falls in recent years, drawn to the small town with big ideas.

A relative newcomer to Smiths Falls is William Bond Ai, a cutting edge business with its roots in the cannabis industry, and its eye on the future of artificial intelligence. Nate Morris, founder of William Bond Ai, explained that he believes in the coming years artificial intelligence is going to transform the way we buy, grow, and study cannabis. His company is using robotics to offer solutions and improved efficiency to the cannabis industry.

"We're trying to position ourselves as one of the trailblazers in merging the cannabis industry with the new artificial intelligence space," Morris said.

Morris' robot, named "William," (named for an early Canadian hemp expert) is capable of looking after cannabis plants by planting, watering, and monitoring plant health.

Morris himself has been involved in the cannabis industry for 20 years, and decided that Smiths Falls, or as he calls it, the "cannabis capital," was the ideal place to be to develop this technology.

The town of Smiths Falls is celebrating its role as a hub for innovative industry and business enterprises, a role that has its roots in the community's history and has made Smith Falls a desirable location for forward-thinking businesses for more than 200 years.

"The people of Smiths Falls have long embraced innovation and have been willing to take some risk to build a better future for their community," Mayor Shawn Pankow said.

Historically, Smiths Falls has been a welcoming destination for smart, creative businesses looking for a community to call home. Pankow pointed to Smiths Falls' decision in 1886 to donate land and $25,000 to the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) as incentive to locate its divisional centre in Smiths Falls.

"That $25,000 investment, which would equate to almost $600,000 in today's dollars, established Smiths Falls as a major rail hub and led to thousands of jobs in the decades to follow," Pankow said.

Another cutting-edge business leader that settled in Smiths Falls was the agricultural equipment manufacturer, Frost & Wood. In the mid-1800s, Frost & Wood was Smiths Falls' largest employer, and maintained its strong manufacturing presence until its closure in 1955. In its day, the manufacturer was known around the world for producing the most technologically advanced machinery of its time.

The same welcoming spirit that was shown to CPR and Frost & Wood was in full force when Smiths Falls welcomed Tweed (now Canopy Growth Corp.) to town in 2014. At the time, medicinal cannabis was in its infancy in Canada, and the faith

FIRE DEPARTMENT WARNS OF DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROPER USE OF EXTENSION CORDS EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com

We are looking for an energetic self-starter who is seeking an opportunity to grow with a leading multi-media company as a member of our marketing sales team Now hiring for the following sales areas Carleton Place Almonte Smiths Falls Kemptville Perth Lanark

When it comes to using extension cords, sometimes people don't think about the risk associated with their improper use.

In mid-October, the Smiths Falls Fire Department responded to a house fire on Main Street East.

The cause: Improper use of an extension cord. The damage: An estimated $100,000.

The finding was a result of a fire investigation by the department's Lt. Fire Prevention, Randy Normandin.

Normandin said that a male tenant in the house had noticed his couch smoking. On the couch was an extension cord with a cellphone charger pulled in. Normandin reported that when the man realized the couch was smoking, he threw the cushion outside of the apartment and threw water on it and closed the door. The man, he said, then went back up to bed.

"About 20 minutes later, he thought he could smell smoke again," said Normandin.

This time when the man went to go downstairs, he couldn't. It was too hot. The man called 911.

The man, a woman and

The fire was caused by the improper use of an extension cord. a two-year-old child, exited their apartment through an upstairs window to escape.

The damage to the home was mostly contained to the downstairs area, where the extension cord had been plugged in, with some smoke damage upstairs.

Normandin said that fires can spread fast. The damage pictured happened in about 15 minutes, he reported.

The family had only moved into the unit less than two weeks before the fire broke out.

Normandin said he's seen a lot of people using extension cords improperly, which can put people

and property at risk. Most of the time, it's just the people aren't educated about the risks associated with using extension cords.

Here are some tips: 1) Don't use extension cords to plug in mobile devices.

2) Don't use extension cords as permanent wiring, i.e. don't use them as a permanent outlet for anything. They are temporary sources of power.

3) Don't put extension cords underneath carpets, mats, or under/around couches.

4) Use caution when using extension cords bought from dollar stores, as they can have improper wiring.

LPGA TOUR WINDING DOWN FOR SEASON plus-4. She had rounds of 7074-73-75.

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com At the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship presented by CTBC, played over the weekend at Taoyuan City, Taiwan, Oct. 25-28, it was Nelly Korda of the United States with the win at 13-under par.

She had a bogey free final round and fired an eagle on the par five sixth hole to finish with a four-under 68.

Korda joined her sister, five-time LPGA winner Jessica Korda, in the winner's circle. It was Nelly's first LPGA title. According to LPGA.com, the Korda sisters are the third set of sisters to win on the LPGA Tour in history.

Annika Sorenstam (72 wins) and Charlotta Sorenstam (one win) were the first to accomplish the feat in 2000. Ariya Jutanugarn (10 wins) and Moriya Jutanugarn (one win) did it earlier this season when Moriya won the 2018 HUGEL-JTBC LA Open.

At the Swinging Skirts, Minjee Lee was second at 11under, with Ryann O'Toole in third place at 10-under.

Smiths Falls' Brooke Henderson finished at T38 with

In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

COMING UP There are just three tournaments left on the LPGA Tour.

The TOTO Japan Classic in Shiga, Japan, is slated for Nov. 2-4. Shenshen Feng was last year's champion.

That's followed by the Blue Bay LPGA tournament in Hainan Island, China, Nov. 7-10. Feng won this one last year as well.

The final tournament of the season will be in Naples, Florida, as the tour swings back to North American soil with the CME Group Tour Championship Nov. 15-18.

The defending champion is Ariya Jutanugarn.

ROLEX PLAYER OF THE YEAR Ariya Jutanugarn is in the hunt for the Rolex Player of the Year honours. She has led this race since mid-May with a 71-point lead over Sung Hyun Park.

Jutanugarn has had 14 top 10 finishes in 24 tournaments, and holds a 58 per cent conversion rate.

The winner of each event is awarded 30 points, so the Rolex Player of the Year honours is anyone's trophy to

If Jutanugarn earns the award, she would become the first player since Stacy Lewis (2012, 2014) to win it twice in three years.

CME GLOBE Henderson currently sits third in the CME Globe standings behind Jutanugarn and Lee. Speaking of titles, Jutanu-

garn has already won more money than last year's money title winner Sung Hyun Park.

Her performances in majors this year earned her the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award and more than $1.2 million in prize money. Jutanugarn leads Henderson by almost $1M. Jutanugarn previously won the money title in 2016.

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Edmond (Ed) Chenard of Perth died Thursday, Oct. 25. He was 81 years old.

He is survived by his wife of 59 and a half years, Muriel, and children: Cynthia Chenard, Jocelyn (Barry) Lamont and Tony (Cathy) Chenard; grandchildren, Damian, Logan, Jack, Ryan (Stef) and Ally. He was predeceased by his parents Horace and Maria (Godin) Chenard, his 4 brothers and 4 sisters.

In the summer, Ed spoke to The Perth Courier about being named the Grand Knight of the Year, an honour for which he felt truly humbled.

"It comes naturally, I guess," he said of his years as a volunteer in his community. "You didn't survive if you didn't co-operate with your neighbours and help each other out. There was no

such thing as social welfare in those days, so that sort of thing (helping your neighbour) gets bred into you. So community work, helping in the community, is an automatic thing. You don't even think twice about it. Someone needs help, you pitch in."

On June 24, Chenard was presented with the Knights of Columbus Knight of the Year Award, following a church service at St. John Catholic Church in Perth.

"It was kind of a surprise for me," he said of this award, which was the second time he's received it.

Each year, the local Knights of Columbus, Council 3531, recognizes people who make a significant contribution to their council.

Ed will be remembered by friends and family (extended, too) for his love of cards, dancing, theatre shows and guitar

sing-a-longs on the front porch.

He enjoyed singing in his church choir and was a member of the Knights of Columbus for almost 60 years.

His volunteer community involvement included The Bayshore Tenants Association, Build a Mountain of Food, the Community Christmas Dinner and he was a founding member of the Perth Food Bank.

Hugh Colton, longtime friend, remembers Chenard with fondness.

"He was a co-founder of Build a Mountain, and he would do absolutely anything for his community - for anyone who asked," Colton said. "He would do anything for the betterment of humankind - and we are all better for knowing him."

As per Ed's wishes, there will be no wake. Friends are invited to a memorial mass at St. John Roman Catholic Church, 38 Wil-

TAY VALLEY'S RENEWABLE ART INSTALLATION, WITH SCOTCH LINE'S MEANDERING WOOD PILE FENCES DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com John Harris' wood pile fences and designs are catching people's eye.

Harris' property, located at 4225 Scotch Line Rd. in Tay Valley Township, has become such a popular destination that 35 people, by his count, stopped there on Saturday, Sept. 1 alone, either on their way to or from Westport or Perth, to stop at the unusual sight of five-foot high fences made of cut, split and piled wood.

And the fences, far from the boring, regular picket or wooden farm fences you might see, snake around the edge of the property.

The front fence, facing the road, includes little windows embedded in the structure, and a big red door and frame which really catches the eye.

"I've been cutting fire wood since 2005," explained Harris during a break working on a garage on his property on Friday, Sept. 7,

when the Perth Courier paid him a visit, as a car drove by, honking its horn at him. "It evolved into something huge." From 2008 to 2009, he was cutting "massive amounts of wood. I was selling it," for firewood, "trying to get my kids through post-secondary," said the engineer for Canadian Pacific Rail, who has worked the rails for 32 years.

He purchased this property in March of 2017, and "this all started last year," he said of his creations. He thought, at the time, "I'll just pile (the wood) around the perimeter of the yard," because "I just didn't have the space," otherwise to store it.

But then the thought struck him: "Why don't we do something different?" He decided to line the rim of his two acre property, and began work this past May. He began along the side of the road, but "I just can't pile a straight line along the highway," he said. "It really caught on," as the wooden walls stretched over

his property.

"Y'know what, just do it," he thought. "It's incredible."

But it was not done haphazardly.

"It was all planned," he said. "I measured it all out so it was proportionate. I just poked away at it."

He cuts and splits all of the wood by hand and "it takes a lot of time," he said.

He will be building his future home here in time and promises that it too will stand out.

"It's going to be different," he promised. "You're going to have to wait to see."

One of the many visitors to his property described the meandering wood fences as works of art.

"I've never seen it that way," he said. "But I'm starting to see it that way."

One of the visitors to his property who pulled over to the side of the road was a couple coming from Westport who, that very day, were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

"It's so peaceful," they told him. "I'm OK with people coming here. Even if I'm not here. Just walk around. I'm cool with it."

On this particular day, the wood works were in their glory, because later on that afternoon, Harris was getting the first batch

Desmond Devoy/Metroland John Harris stands in the entranceway to his fire pit, on his Tay Valley Township property, on the Scotch Line, on Sept. 7. of wood off to sell for firewood.

He anticipates that within a month, all of the firewood will be sold off, though he will save the original door-bearing fence for last.

"I'm still going to do it as long as my body will allow," he said.

He plans to cut more wood through the winter months, and start up the wood designs again next year. "(My) ultimate goal (is) to see a young couple having their wed-

ding pictures taken here," he said. "I honestly think they (the public) will expect to see it again."

He comes to the property as often as he can, and, looking around his property and all he has created thus far on a late summer morning, said that it was important to "express yourself.

You have no idea how it will be appreciated."

He paused and added: "This is me."

“Sheldon Giff has been phenomenal,” she said.

Ilan Treasures officially opened on Sept. 8. The store celebrated its grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 13, surrounded by family and friends. Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow and Giff came to help cut the ceremonial ribbon and celebrate her business.

Kelly Ilan’s lifelong ambition of being store owner has become a reality. The only downside: Ilan’s mother and brother, both of whom passed away recently, weren’t there to see her dream come to fruition.

The newly opened gift shop, Ilan Treasures, featuring country decor, accessories, gifts and, of course, treasures, was named in memory of her mother and brother.

As a child, Ilan used to play store in her dad’s garage.

“This has been a dream literally since I was five,” she said.

“Dreams do come true, you just have to be a little patient.”

In fact, retail is in her blood.

Having her own retail space was only natural.

“I’ve been in retail all my life,” she said. Ilan has worked as clothing store manager, a florist and spent more than 10 years

working at Zellers.

In any of Ilan’s many roles, customers have always been her priority.

“It’s not about money, it’s about the people,” she said. “This is my happy place.”

Ilan prides herself on catering to what her customers want, at prices that are reasonable, to encourage customers to shop local.

And, Ilan said, if you don’t see something you need or want, just ask.

Over the last two years, Ilan went through some traumatic life events ¬- including the deaths of her mother and brother.

“I had to start all over again,” she said.

In realizing this, Ilan was prompted to complete her life’s goal — open a store.

“Life is too short,” she said. “I just went for it.”

Ilan credits Sheldon Giff, with the Smiths Falls Downtown Business Association, for help-

FIVE NEW TRUSTEES TO JOIN UCDSB The 2018 municipal election has resulted in a shuffle around the trustee table for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). In the new term starting Dec. 1, the UCDSB will welcome four newly elected trustees, two incumbents and four acclaimed.

The trustee results of the Monday, Oct. 22, election are as follows: • Ward 1 - Don Cram (incumbent) • Ward 2 - Bill MacPherson (acclaimed) • Ward 3 - Jamie Schoular (new) • Ward 4 - John McAllister (acclaimed) • Ward 5 - John McCrea (new) • Ward 6 - Lisa Swan (incumbent) • Ward 7 - Larry Barry (new) • Ward 8 - David McDonald (acclaimed) • Ward 9 - John Danaher (new) • Ward 10 - Corina Parisien (new and acclaimed) "Congratulations to the trustees-elect and to everyone who was a candidate for the office of UCDSB trustee. Their interest in public education and supporting local schools is greatly appreciated," said director of education Stephen Sliwa. "I'm looking forward to welcoming and working with this new group of trustees for the next four years. I think the mix of new and returning will encourage a lot of discussion and bring a new perspective. We're always working toward enhancing the learning opportunities of our students, and I think we are well positioned to do that with this board."

Ward 1 trustee Donald Cram retained his seat and will again represent Mississippi Mills, Beckwith Township and Carleton Place, for a second term.

In Ward 3, Jamie Schoular was

He will represent the areas of Merrickville-Wolford, Rideau Lakes, Smiths Falls and Westport.

John McCrea is another newcomer to the Board and will represent Ward 5, which takes in the areas of Augusta and Brockville. He claimed the seat left vacant by the chair of the board, Jeff McMillan, who is retiring from public office after serving on the board since 2010.

In Ward 6, Lisa Swan was reelected by voters, for a second term. Ward 6 includes the communities of Edwardsburg-Cardinal, North Grenville and Prescott.

Larry Barry will be the new trustee for Ward 7, which covers the townships of South Dundas and North Dundas. The seat has been held by Jeremy Armer for the past four years.

John Danaher is the new representative for Ward 9, which covers the townships and communities of North Glengarry, South Glengarry, North Stormont and South Stormont. Trustee Wendy MacPherson was the face for this rural area for the

past four years but did not seek re-election for a second term.

Corina Parisien has been acclaimed in Ward 10, assuming the seat left vacant by first vice-chair Caroll Carkner. Ward 10 includes the townships and communities of Alfred-Plantagenet, Casselman, Champlain, Clarence-Rockland, East Hawkesbury, Hawkesbury, Russell and The Nation Municipality.

The new board of trustees will be sworn in on Dec. 5. In the interim, the current board of trustees will continue in office. The last official board meeting for the existing board of trustees is on Nov. 28, with the new term taking effect on Dec. 1.

The trustees of the UCDSB serve more than 27,000 students in 79 schools. Trustees are empowered under the Education Act to set policy for the operation of all public schools in the counties of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott and Russell, providing an essential link between the school system and the community.

November is

DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH Every November, Diabetes Canada (formerly known as the Canadian Diabetes Association) launches a month-long awareness campaign to shed light on the growing diabetes epidemic affecting the country. Diabetes Awareness Month is an opportunity to educate those at risk and help existing diabetics live the healthiest life possible. Diabetes or prediabetes affects an estimated 11 million Canadians, many of whom are unaware of their condition. However, it’s important to know the warning signs to stop diabetes in its tracks and prevent related health complications like heart disease and eye damage.

WHAT IS PREDIABETES? Prediabetes refers to a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to receive a positive diabetes diagnosis. According to Diabetes Canada, nearly 50 per cent of Canadians with prediabetes go on to develop Type 2 diabetes.

WARNING SIGNS Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight change, extreme fatigue or sluggishness, blurred vision — if you experience any of these symptoms, you may be at risk of developing diabetes. However, it’s important to note that you can alter your future for the better if you pay attention to warning signs and seek appropriate medical help.

PREVENTION Research shows that if you take the necessary steps to manage your blood glucose levels, you can successfully delay or prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes. Simple lifestyle changes like increasing your physical activity, eating wholesome foods and losing weight can make a world of difference. This November, join the movement to end the epidemic. Visit www.diabetes.ca to find out how you can influence positive change for the future of diabetes in Canada.

TEAL PUMPKINS RAISE AWARENESS OF KIDS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES THIS HALLOWEEN PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com The joy of collecting treats from neighbours on Halloween should be experienced by all kids.

However, many children have food allergies and take a big risk when they go trick-or-treating on Oct. 31.

As such, the Teal Pumpkin Project has been initiated to raise awareness of the fact that not all kids can eat the candy they collect, and that alternative, non-edible items such as toys or games can be a great way to ensure that every kid has fun on Halloween.

On Oct. 27, the Smiths Falls Public Library hosted its inaugural Teal Pumpkin Painting Project. Two workshops were held during the day which saw 14 kids come out to paint pumpkins, donated by Sarrah Lynn Martin, a member of the library board.

"Teal is the colour for food allergy awareness, research, and education," ex-

plained Debra Kuehl, a member of the library board. "It's important for people to realize that, come Halloween, there are a lot of kids now that can't have regular treats - and who wants to make a child feel left out?"

Holly Blaedow, another library board member and local mother of a boy with food allergies, has been spreading awareness throughout the Smiths Falls community in a number of teal pumpkin initiatives. She organized a pumpkin painting event at Duncan J Schoular Public School and is putting together a display for the teal pumpkins at the school for its Fall Festival.

"The Teal Pumpkin Project began in 2012 by an allergy mom in the States," she explained. "In 2014, FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education) picked it up and in 2015, Food Allergy Canada joined the movement."

Blaedow is also a member of the Ottawa Anaphy-

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland Aleah Jannack (left) and Brooklyn Jannack paint pumpkins teal at the Smiths Falls Public Library's inaugural Teal Pumpkin Painting Project on Oct. 27. The initiative is intended to raise awareness of children like Aleah who have food allergies and cannot enjoy regular treats on Halloween. To accommodate these kids, it's encouraged that parents have non-food items such as small toys and trinkets to give out to trick-or-treaters with food allergies. laxis Support Group.

"It just keeps growing as the years go by, so hopefully more people will hear about it and join us."

The library's teal pumpkin painting event informed participating kids of the im-

portance of inclusion and consideration for other kids during Halloween, as well as the severity of common allergies such as a peanut allergy.

"We have to keep safe and always make sure that our

parents check our candy bags before we eat anything," she reminded the kids.

Prizes were granted to the creators of the scariest and funniest pumpkins, and the kids played games such

as Poke-a-pumpkin to win a toy.

Ideas for non-edible treats include Halloweenthemed socks or gloves, colouring supplies, yoyos, tattoos, or any other small toy or trinket.

To take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project and help create a safer, happier Halloween for all, the following steps are recommended: Provide non-food treats for trick-or-treaters, and paint or purchase a teal pumpkin to place in front of your home on Halloween to indicate that you have non-edible treats available. Participants may also display a free printable sign in their window to help explain the meaning of the teal pumpkin. More information and the printable poster can be found at www.TealPumpkinProject.org On Halloween, head librarian at the Smiths Falls Public Library, Karen Schecter, will be handing out non-food treats for children with allergies.

Town Hall Welcome Centre

Join our Council and Offer Your Input Patient- and family-centred care is foundational to the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) Strategy and very specifically to the strategic direction of, “Patient & Family Experience”.

At the heart of the structure of the Patient- and Family-Centred Care initiative at PSFDH is the Patient and Family Advisory Council (Council), established in 2015. The Council consists of 8 Patient Experience Advisors and 3 staff and we would like to see this number grow. The Council serves in an advisory capacity, providing input to and making recommendations on matters that impact the quality, safety and experience of patients and their families at the Hospital.

Advisors will draw from their own experiences, or those of family members to offer input on a variety of hospital care related topics. The Council will meet approximately every month (with the exception of July and August), for a period of 3 hours. There are opportunities to represent the voice of the patient & family on other hospital committees.

Patients or family members with recent experience in the hospital (within the last two years) are invited to apply to join the Council. Those interested are asked to submit a 250-word expression of interest that answers the following questions: • Why would you like to serve as a Council member?

• What are some issues of special interest to you?

LANARK COUNTY OPP'S NEW MENTAL HEALTH NURSE IS 'MAKING A DIFFERENCE' WITH 30 REFERRALS DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The new mental health nurse operating out of Lanark County OPP headquarters in Perth has seen 30 referrals so far since late August.

"I was really excited to interview for this position," said Morgan Crew, during a presentation to the Lanark County Association of Police Services Board Oct. 3.

Crew is a registered mental health nurse with Lanark County Mental Health, who now works with the OPP. Her new position allows her to "have clients receive the right care at the right time," and the right time is often "better done at the first point of contact."

Crew's position was made possible thanks to a Proceeds of Crime grant, and she is on a twoyear assignment with the OPP. It is hoped that another nurse can be added in the future.

"It's been up and running for a month now," said Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP in introducing Crew to the

gathering. "We are in a very good position."

Needham said his initial hope for the program was that it would "prevent just one person from going to jail because of mental illness."

The program's aims include: • Proactively build relationships with clients who have repeated police interaction; • Maintain database with client information; • Problem solve to reduce conflict and calls for service; • Consider alternative measures for mentally ill offenders.

The partnership is not only between the Lanark County OPP and Lanark County Mental Health, but is also extended to the Smiths Falls Police Service, all four county hospital sites (Almonte, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, and Perth), the county paramedic service, Brockville General Hospital, Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, as well as Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Addiction and Mental Health, and the Distress Centre

for Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

Crew's duties include: • Assessing clients experiencing mental illness at the point of contact with the police; • Screening for serious mental illness and substance use disorders; • Medication review, if needed; • Suicide risk assessment; • Seeks to resolve the situation, make connections and referrals to community partners, and followup as needed; • Accompanying clients to the emergency room if apprehended under the Mental Health Act, to share assessment, recommendations, and liaise with physicians and nurses.

"As a nurse, I am able to assess not only mental health, but physical health," said Crew. Rather than riding along with officers, she will instead get a call from the patrol car: "Can you come now to assess the client?" she will be asked by officers. "I go do an assessment. The goal is to resolve the mental health issue," by either prescription drugs, or coun-

selling, for example.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Allison Graham hopes she won’t reduce her students to tears — though she has been asked by students how they can cry real tears on stage.

Graham, who has hosted acting classes before in Ottawa, has been leading acting classes at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., in Perth, from Sept. 24 and will continue to Nov. 5.

On Friday, Sept. 7, she returned to the Full Circle stage, where she has trod the boards before — playing Meryl Streep’s character in the local production of August: Osage County, the play

by Tracey Letts, later made into a movie.

Graham was accepted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles, where she studied theatre for two years. She also studied creative writing at Pasadena City College. She returned to Canada in 2000, and works in Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal.

She has appeared in movies, as well as 30 production titles, such as Da Vinci’s Inquest, Being Eri-

ca, The Ron James Show, Stargate: Atlantis, Rumours, The Best Laid Plans (portions of which were filmed in Perth), and many others.

She is sometimes recognized for playing Ricky’s lawyer in Trailer Park Boys 3: Don’t Legalize It, but auditioned for a role in fellow Canadian David Cameron’s epic blockbuster, Titanic, in the 1990s. (She recalls waiting for her audition alongside the likes of John Cusack, and another Canadian actress, Kim Cattrall, who would later find fame on the Sex in the City series.)

When she arrived in Los Angeles, “I had no idea what I was doing,” she said. And even now, the scramble for work can be difficult. If she spends 30 to 40 days in front of a camera, she considers it to be a good year. And on the audition circuit in Toronto, she would average two successes out of, say, 60 auditions. And the lead time to prepare for an audition could be short, with a script arriving by email from her agent at 3 p.m., for which she would have to memorize a portion in time for an audition the next day.

“It’s a tough, tough business,”

said Graham. But, “you don’t ever want to squash their (students’) dreams.”

But Graham also points out that there are good, funny, intelligent people to be found in the business as well.

She called comedian Ron James “just the funniest guy,” to work with, while the drama Da Vinci’s Inquest (1998-2006) had “one of the first producers who took a chance on me,” when she was cast as an undercover police officer. She has even worked alongside the country-and-western singer turned actor Billy Ray Cyrus.

There has been little room for stage fright in her classes.

“I want the kids up as frequently as possible,” said Graham, as there will be “a lot of scene work.”

One of the less glamorous, and shameful, parts of the acting life, especially for women, has been the “casting couch” mentality, brought into sharp focus last autumn with the spectacular downfall of former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

This very weekend, former CBS CEO Les Moonves departed

from his position following similar complaints of harassment and undermining female actresses who did not acquiesce to his sexual demands.

“I’ve never had any unfortunate propositions associated with getting a job,” she said. “I have not implemented that into any of my classes in the past ... That whole casting couch thing has never happened to me.”

When she helped co-create a show, “we looked at people we know we liked,” she said. In fact, casting agents can often tell in the first few seconds, from someone’s demeanour, if they will do well at an audition.

One predatory practice she will be touching on is not paying an agent upfront. “They get paid when you get paid,” she said.

Just as painting can come with different forms — impressionist, surrealist, watercolour — so too are there different acting types, such as the Stanislavski Method, or, Method Acting for short.

(Konstantin Stanislavski, 18631938, wrote one of the definitive acting textbooks, An Actor Prepares, published in 1936.)

Special thanks to the very capable woman who called the ambulance and attended to me like at trained nurse, which also helped to calm my husband. I feel very lucky the result wasn’t worse and have recovered quite well. Also special thanks to Kim, Sheryl and Shirley.

A lifetime resident of the area, Keith Hamilton passed away suddenly at home on Wednesday, October 24, 2018. He was 77. Keith David Hamilton was born in Winchester on January 28, 1941 to his parents Stanley and Iva Hamilton (nee Bell). He married the first love of his life Mildred Fawcett on August 26, 1963. He married the second love of his life Marjorie Beaupre on September 21, 1996. Keith was dad to Diane, Tom, Brian and Gerry. He was grandpa to Laura, Adam, Dayna, Scott, Jess, Lexie, Kristen, Brittany, Josh, Christine, Rebecca, and Rachelle. He was great-grandpa to Peyton, Aspen Emma and Jaxon. Keith’s pride and joy were his kids, his grandchildren, and his wonderful grandbabies. If you wanted to see Keith smile, plunk a child on his lap.

Grandpa had some shy grandchildren and he paid no attention to that because he would find them and lift them into his arms. After his first wife Mildred he found love with Marjorie; he even quit smoking for her to marry him.

Keith then became dad to Sherry, Rick and Daniel and grandpa to Denis, Jeffrey, Sarah and Alexandra and great-grandpa to Darrick, Mary Kate, and Elias. Keith was a hard worker all his life right up to the last day and he expected the same of his family. Keith was always proud of working for Cruickshank Construction and The Township of Williamsburg. He loved working for Cruickshank’s except for the fact that he had to work away from home, so he left there and went to the Township of Williamsburg to be their grader operator. No one could grade a road like Keith Hamilton. Keith loved his black lab Benjie and he enjoyed travelling. He was a “worry wart” and he would worry about his family all the time. Keith entered the computer age in 2017. He discovered Facebook, YouTube and he started using a cell phone and texting. He had a few issues with getting the hang of it, but he never shied away from asking for help. Keith liked to get calls especially on Father’s Day, Christmas Day, and his birthday. Keith was very particular about the look of his property and he loved working in the garden. Punctuality was very important to Keith and he was never late. He enjoyed playing a good game of checkers and that meant no cheating! He always liked to joke and tease his grandchildren, but they never got to enter the house or leave the house without a hug. Keith is survived by his children Diane Bennett (David) of Smiths Falls, Tom (Kathleen) of South Mountain and Brian (Heather) of St. John’s, New Brunswick. Keith will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Laura (Billy), Adam, Dayna, Scott (Stefanie), Jessica (Keith), Lexie, Kristen, Brittany, Joshua, Christine (Adam), Rebecca (Ryan), Rachelle and greatgrandchildren Peyton, Aspen and Emma. He was predeceased by his wives Mildred Fawcett and Marjorie Beaupre, his son Gerry, his great-grandson Jaxon, his sister Joyce Leach and his brothers Raymond and Ralph Hamilton. He is also survived by nieces and nephews. Friends called at the Marsden and McLaughlin Funeral Home, Williamsburg, on Friday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service was held at the funeral home on Saturday, October 27th at 11 a.m., with Pastor Bruce North officiating. Interment followed at Maple Ridge Cemetery in Chesterville. Pallbearers were Adam Bennett, Scott Hamilton, Keith Fowler, Billy Carley, Joshua Hamilton and John Brugma. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be gratefully acknowledged by the family.

Online condolences may be made at marsdenmclaughlin.com

KUNDE, Gunter Erwin Heinz

On Monday, October 1st, 2018, Gunter Erwin Heinz Kunde took his last flight, peacefully at home in the arms of a very dear friend, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

Gunter was, to the best of his knowledge, predeceased by all relatives. He was born in Prussia, Germany on November 4, 1931 and came to Canada on May 4th, 1957, landing in Bremerhaven, Quebec. In 1965 Gunter received his Canadian Citizenship. In 1968 after achieving his diesel hydraulic license and his car mechanic’s license, he opened a business called All Hydraulics, and in 1978 opened Triple K Hydraulics. Gunter loved to dance, be it square dance, jive, waltz, polka, you name it. He also very much loved flying.

On July 29, 1967 he received his student pilot permit and continued flying and achieved his full pilots license. In 1984 Gunter purchased a Globe Swift which he flew until a short time ago. He flew often out of the Smiths FallsMontaque Airport where he kept his plane.

When sickness stopped him from flying he would drive to the airport almost every day just to watch the planes or give someone a hand with a repair. When Gunter wasn’t flying, he was out riding his motorbike or in the later years, his scooter, out for a pleasure drive in the car, or just basking in the sun. For the past six years, Gunter drove to Ottawa on a weekly basis for accordion lessons, and on occasion played in a concert with his fellow students.

He loved and appreciated nature and a “hot” black coffee. Gunter will be greatly missed by Lois and all the Strickland family, by his neighbours and friends in his neighbourhood, by fellow pilots and friends at the airport, the many square dance clubs, the Sunday dance group, the German Club, and I’m sure many more. In memory of Gunter, donations to the Smiths Falls-Montague Airport would be appreciated. A potluck dinner to celebrate Gunter’s Life will be held at the Airport Clubhouse, 102 Van Exan Drive, Smiths Falls, on Sunday, November 4, 2018 at 1 PM (doors open at 12 Noon). Cremation has been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls. Online condolences can be made at www.lannin.ca

Also deeply mourning her passing is her loving biological family, found to her 31 years ago, including her mother Kathleen (Harcourt), her siblings Linda, Stephen (Christine), Michael, Christina (Wesley), and Gene (Debbie). Katherine is predeceased by her brother Brian.

In Katherine’s words: So far this journey has been challenging, exciting, fulfilling, amazing and full. For it all, I am grateful. Remember me with happiness in your heart. Don’t ever hesitate to be kind to everyone, every day.

Don’t let an opportunity go by to be the best you can be and reach for extraordinary whenever you get the chance, you will be glad you did. Go in peace and joy for I will love you all-always.

STANTON, Mark

Mark Beverley Stanton passed from this world on the afternoon of October 22, 2018 in the company of his children Joanne and Jonathon following a long struggle with leukaemia. His laughter, quick wit and perpetual music soundtrack will be missed throughout the valley. A connoisseur of music and analogue stereo systems, smoking, coffee, fast cars, fishing tackle, bicycles, euchre, cross-country skiing, a caesar, beer or rye; he was never one to shy from a party. His first love was a bicycle, touring the Quebec countryside with his banty rooster on the handlebars. From two wheels to four, Mark began building customized cars for the drag racing circuit as one of the Valley Racers. This love for speed ultimately led to meeting his wife Valerie, after needing a tow from a swamp. Born July 8, 1944, Mark is predeceased by his mother Loretta Ballard (née Rougier) and father Beverley Stanton both of Pontiac, Quebec. He will be missed by his son-in-law Andrew Green, grandchildren Neltje, Robin and Faye as well as sister Heather (Richard) Briggs. Our sincere thanks to the Hospice Renfrew community for making Mark’s end of life care so full and dignified. In the professional care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

The following are items discussed during the regular Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, Oct. 24 at the county administration building in Perth.

Council has approved in principle the Housing Study for Lanark County and Smiths Falls, which aims to assess housing needs and analyze demand while providing concrete actions.

Social services director Emily Hollington, in her previous role as housing renewal co-ordinator, presented the study at the community services committee meeting earlier this month. The process to holistically assess the county's housing situation began in February under council direction.

Hollington explained the process included Statistics Canada data, input from local municipal planners and service managers, data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, as well as public consultation that included three public meetings, public and service provider surveys, and feedback from about 300 residents and 20 service providers.

The study examined trends in age distribution, household size, tenure (renter/ owner), median household income and prevalence of low-income. Priority areas were identified, including a need to improve access to affordable housing; a need to improve housing options (including accessible units); a need for additional supportive services partnered with perma-

nent housing, recognizing marginalized groups; and a need to improve co-ordination and collaboration in the community.

Hollington outlined five strategic directions, including increasing the supply of affordable housing with a schedule to meet and maintain service level standards; planning for a diverse range of housing choices; stabilizing and revitalizing the current social housing stock; ensuring an adequate supply of appropriate, supportive and universal housing; and educating the community on local housing needs and demands and offer incentives to developers building affordable housing.

Hollington said the study will be used to inform the county's 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan.

Upcoming meetings County council, Wednesday, Nov. 14, 5 p.m.; community services committee, Nov. 14 (following county council); corporate services committee, Nov. 14 (following community services).

County council, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 5 p.m.; public works committee, Nov. 28 (following county council); economic development committee, Nov. 28 (following public works).

MUNICH GLOCKENSPIEL A MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION JOYOUS SPECTACLE ENTERTAINS GROUPS DAILY, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column

Sometimes it's the little things that make a holiday memorable. Such was the case during our recent visit to Germany and one of those "little things" stands out today as I run the many good experiences from our trip through my mind.

On day 2 of our two-week excursion we were in "Munchen" (German for "Munich") which is the third largest city in the country. It is a major centre of business, transportation, technology, arts and education. Munich has an incredibly captivating history and as a result tourism is also a major economic driver in the Bavarian capital.

This was our first visit and Kathleen and I were impressed with the cleanliness of Munich, the pleasant mix of old and new structures.

The city was heavily bombed during the Second World War and meticulously rebuilt.

Marienplatz, Munich's best known public square, is the perfect place to begin any sightseeing visit to the old town section. Dominating Marienplatz is the "Rathaus" (city hall) featuring a clock tower that rises impressively over the sprawling, busy public gathering place.

Wendy LeBlanc, who along with husband Frank are our good friends and regular travelling companions, was already familiar with Marienplatz and the

Rathaus. The previous night Wendy had pointed to the clock tower and said, "We need to come back here tomorrow to see the Glockenspiel. It is excellent!"

Normally I might have had to ask for an explanation. But as it happens I was already familiar with the word "Glockenspiel." By way of definition it's basically a musical instrument similar to a xylophone.

Translated to English the word means, literally, "bells play." In German usage the word may be applied to any carillon-sized or chime-sized tower bell instrument which plays music.

Some places in Germany (where the idea is believed to have originated) and in other parts of the world fea-

“The Munich Glockenspiel dwarfs its much newer counterpart in Frankenmuth.”

– Jeff Maguire

ture a musical carillon which accompanies sculpted figures who emerge from clock towers and tell a story to appreciative audiences.

That is a Glockenspiel!

My first experience was in Frankenmuth, a town in central Michigan near Saginaw, which bills itself as "Little Bavaria." Frankenmuth and district was heavily settled by conservative Lutheran immigrants from the Franconia region

of Germany in the mid-19th century. We've visited several times over the years.

The town's Glockenspiel Tower, which is located at the Bavarian Inn an excellent hotel in Frankenmuth where my family and I stay, features a 35-bell carillon, a sculpted figurine movement and an illuminated clock. All were imported from Germany.

The Rathaus Glockenspiel in Munich is also a major tourist attraction as we found out when we visited Marienplatz in time for the 11 a.m. "performance" the following morning.

In terms of size and scale the Munich Glockenspiel dwarfs its much newer counterpart in Frankenmuth. Perched high in the clock tower, on two levels, it features 43 bells and 32 lifesize figures.

Daily at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. (also at 12 noon during the summer) the Glockenspiel chimes and the brightly painted and appropriately costumed figurines emerge from the tower where they re-enact two stories from the 16th century.

I'm sure the majority of those who watch the Rathaus Glockenspiel know little about the stories which are depicted.

They are there to be entertained and in large numbers too. It's a joyous spectacle and it has become one of the city's biggest tourist attractions. If you're ever in Munich don't miss the Rathaus Glockenspiel.

Pets of the Week Hi there, I am Cam and I am a true gem.

I was saved by LAWS a little while ago and they tell me I am ready to be offered for adoption. I am sure when you see my friendly face you'll come running for me to

take me home. Can't wait to meet you. I am available in Carleton Place at Pet Valu.

Look at me, I am Catrina and I love to goof around. They recently spayed me and you'll see evidence of it. I love to roll over to show you my naked belly and if you can, give me a rub please. I love playtime with toys too. I am really sociable and ready for my forever home.

Hello from Felix. I am finally ready to be adopted. I got a nasty cold and took some time to get over that. Now that I am feeling great again I'd love to be next one adopted. I am very friendly, handsome, playful and young.

Please meet Raven, a long hair calico with lovely markings. She's a pretty little girl who was wandering the streets in Balderson. Sadly no one claimed her. She's about 10 years old and could use some help to add some meat to her skinny body. Raven is very friendly, curious and would love to find her true forever home. Because of her age the adoption fee has been reduced to $100.

Thank you for your continued support.

Spelling bees often went beyond the Northcote School, when Admaston and at least one other school would be included, and a whole day would be spent with all the schools getting together for one glorious day of spelling, lunch brought in by the ladies of the community, and lots of frivolity.

Then one year, it was decided there would be a 'drawing bee'. There would be no getting together of the area schools, but pupils would be graded by someone from the School Board, and a whole dollar given to the winner.

There were plenty of rules ... enough to discourage anyone from even putting a pencil to paper.

Grading would be done by class, which was a great relief to me, since I was only in Primer Book, I wouldn't be competing with someone in Senior Fourth!

Miss Crosby read out the rules, and the main idea was to draw something using our own imagination.

I decided to draw a picture of my cat dressed in my doll's clothes, but it was my brother Emerson who was the most excited about the whole Drawing Bee. He drew constantly, convincing Mother that one day his artwork would be hanging all over Canada.

Emerson drew buildings ... and I thought they were the craziest looking buildings I ever saw. My sister Audrey said he got the idea from our Uncle Lou who lived in New York and worked on the Empire State Building and the Waldorf Astoria. Emerson was fascinated when Uncle Lou talked about them, and he

said when he grew up, he was going to design buildings that would be even more grand than they were!

Mother encouraged Emerson in his dream, and when the One Cent Sale came around at Ritza's Drug Store, she bought drawing pads and thick leaded pencils. While the rest of us sat around the old pine table at night looking through Eaton's catalogue, or playing cards, Emerson sat at one end of the table with his pad and pencils drawing outlandish buildings which the rest of us kids thought would never see the light of day.

Well, at any rate, when Miss Crosby announced that there was to be a drawing contest among the schools in the area and a whole dollar would be awarded, Emerson, convinced he would be the winner, already planned on buying more drawing pads with his money. And of course, he would be drawing his outlandish buildings!

We were allowed to work on our drawings at home, that way the contest wouldn't interfere with our daily school work. So at night, by the light from the coal oil lamp, we worked on creating our own artistic masterpieces.

There sat poor Emerson, pencil and eraser in hand, creating these buildings that we children thought were just about the most outlandish creations we had ever seen.

He drew buildings made entirely of glass! We couldn't imagine anything more crazy. Imagine, glass walled buildings, instead of bricks and cement! Who heard of anything so ridiculous?

Then, to make these buildings even more crazy, he had some of them with

their elevators going up on the outside! Imagine!!

He drew and erased, and drew and erased, and the day was getting closer when we would be handing in our drawings. Audrey and I snickered behind our hands, and Mother beamed with pride.

Then the day came when all our drawings were handed in, and off they went to someone far away from the Northcote School who would decide who, if any of us, would be a dollar richer.

Finally, one day, just after our morning prayers and bible reading, someone from the school board walked into the Northcote School, went right up to Miss Crosby's desk, and handed her an envelope.

Of course, as we always did when a visitor came to the school, we were all standing at attention.

Then the man in the dress suit said the winner was none other than Emerson Haneman, who showed great imagination and drawing skill, and who was convinced one day he would be known for his talents at designing building of the future! Well, was Mother proud!

Of course, Emerson couldn't wait to get into Ritza's Drug Store with his dollar to buy more drawing pads so that he could create more outlandish buildings made of glass and with elevators going up the outside walls! Poor Emerson, I thought ... he'll never amount to a hill of beans with his hare-brained ideas. Glass buildings indeed!

TALENT AUCTION NOV. 17 AT SEELEY’S BAY UNITED CHURCH Last November Seeley’s Bay United Church Pastoral Charge tried a new type of fundraising, a Talent Auction — not talents like singing or playing an instrument but what some might call “gifts”, hobbies, passions or services which the parishioners wanted to share with the public to raise funds for the Pastoral Charge. Last year’s auction was a smashing success.

This year’s Talent Auction is to be held at the Seeley’s Bay United Church on Sat-

urday, Nov. 17. We will again be having a potluck before the auction, starting at 5 p.m. which will be open to everyone, just bring a dish of your choice and your own dishes and cutlery; coffee, tea and cold drinks will be provided. The viewing of all the items up for auction will start at 6 p.m., the auction itself starting at 6:30 p.m., cash and cheques only please. Just imagine hanging an original painting or wall hanging in your house or getting back to your

childhood playing in mud in a pottery studio or cruising around a lake on a lovely pontoon boat enjoying the sunshine, followed by a great meal. You could have your very own private fishing guide or a scrumptious

meal prepared for you and your family and friends. All the talents, services and items for auction will be found on the Pastoral Charge website: Sbpastoralcharge.ca. or follow us on Facebook.
