Evelyn Harford/Metroland Protesters once again lined Beckwith Street outside Smiths Falls' town hall for the seventh week in a row on Monday, March 18, 2019.
PUBLIC MEETING ON BECKWITH STREET BEST WAY FORWARD, SAYS FORMER MAYOR DENNIS STAPLES EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com
3,000 signatories on a petition calling for a public meeting on the matter. Mayor Shawn Pankow said the petition, presented to council earlier this month, will be discussed at the new committee of the whole meeting. He also explained that the reason for the delay in bringing the issue forward for council discussion was largely due to large the volume of correspondence received both in written letter form and through email. Pankow said not every piece of correspondence or communication comes to council. On March 4, council did discuss options for dialogue on the issue. It was then that council decided they would allow delegations to come before council to ask questions and express their views. Two delegations were heard on March 11. Staples questioned when the petition presented and concerns raised at those delegations would be addressed by council. Pankow confirmed this would be discussed at the next committee of the whole meeting on March 25. Staples asked council for their assurance that more delegations will be heard and considered. Pankow said if the delegations are bringing forward new information, they will be allowed.

As the Beckwith Street protest enters week seven in Smiths Falls, former mayor Dennis Staples once again urges council to host a public meeting. Without one, he said, the dissent will likely continue. Staples presented his concerns, as well as a line of inquiry surrounding the decision to reverse the main street's revitalization design earlier this year, in a delegation to council on Monday, March 18. Those questions will be addressed in full, along with concern raised by the previous delegations, at a following meeting. Staples expressed that in his experience, public meetings help constituents feel engaged and heard in the decision-making process, even if, ultimately, they don't like the final outcome. "Based on what I'm hearing, the best thing that could happen here, for council's benefit and for the citizens' benefit, is to have the opportunity for a public hearing or public forum or public meeting," he said. "It might put an end to this grief that you're going through, and the public are going through," he said. "Without it, I think you're going to have a continua-
tion of this." Staples cited the municipal act and the town's own strategic plan, which highlights council's obligation to be transparent, accountable and build relationships and trust within the community, as reasons why a public meeting should be held on Beckwith Street's redevelopment. Staples said his goal in coming before council is to assist the citizens and also to assist council to find a resolution to this matter. Staples said by hosting a public meeting, regardless of whether or not council ends up sticking with their decision, citizens will feel heard, engaged and included. "I think you'll end up with a far better situation than you have today," he said. This is not the first time Staples has addressed council urging them to host a public meeting. Last month, Staples stood before council and laid out his concerns about the public engagement process. He questioned why it took so long for council to discuss the options for public engagement after receiving feedback from constituents unhappy with the decision this January to reverse the design for Beckwith Street's redevelopment.

Walking school buses are getting ready to roll. Eight schools in four communities - Smiths Falls, Almonte, Brockville and Prescott - are participating in the walking school bus program, spearheaded by the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit. Like their yellow gasand diesel-powered cousins, the walking school buses will have a designated route with a specified pick up time at a central location. Tawnya Boileau, school health co-ordinator at the health unit, said she hopes the walking school buses will encourage kids to be more active and connect with positive role models and their peers, while also improving safety and alleviating traffic congestion and pollution around school parking lots. "When kids walk to school they arrive more alert and ready to learn," she said. Participating schools in Smiths Falls are Chimo Elementary School, Duncan J Schoular Public School and St. Francis de Sales Catholic School. In Almonte, R. Tait McKenzie Public School is participating. The health unit, with their active school travel partners in Brockville, Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills, were successful in receiving $100,000 over two years to pilot the Walking the Rural Way Project. The project is supported by Ontario Active School Travel, a program of Green Communities Canada with funding from the Government of Ontario. The goal: to increase the number of students in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark who choose active school travel to get to and from school. Boileau said that the walking school bus will help children get in the recommended daily minimum of 60 minutes of mod-
erate to vigorous physical activity. Over time less and less children are walking to school. "We just have more of a car culture now," said Boileau, who recognizes that this is in part due to convenience. "Parents are on their way to work or other things, rushing around," she said. "We're just trying to reduce some of the barriers and make it easier for parents to actually have their kids walking to school and getting some of those benefits." Instead of dropping their kids off a school by car at school, they can drop them off at the walking school bus stop. Boileau said, in Ottawa, some schools are promoting the drive to five model, where parent drive their kids but drop them off away from the school, so they can get in a five-minute walk. It's the same idea for the walking school bus. "We're just trying to change the culture and I think together we can create the culture of walking and cycling," she said. "Everything takes time, but we're willing to put in the time to make it happen." Boileau said the health unit is encouraging kids to walk, even if they're not part of the program - something they already know is happening. "It doesn't have to be as organized as what we're doing," she said. "We're also encouraging families, if they're already walking their kids to school and they have neighbours, why not have the neighbour's kids tag along and have an informal walking school bus?" Lorraine Allen, a Smiths Falls town councillor who worked in education for 30 years and sits on
the walking school bus committee, can attest that physical activity helps to improve a child's ability to learn. "I think kids should be walking," she said. "Kids just aren't outside enough." Allen reported that studies show that kids coming off a traditional school bus don't focus as well in class. In fact, Allen said, some schools will give students outdoor time after they get to school before they start lessons to alleviate the ill effects of bus travel. The walking school buses are set to roll April 3. Boileau said, for now, they're just starting with walking Wednesdays to get people used to the concept. The walking school buses are dependent on the volunteers. If there aren't enough volunteers, some walking school bus routes may remain stalled. However, if there is a surplus of volunteers interested in helping, it means more routes could be created. Ideally, each route with eight to 10 students will have two volunteers: one to stand at the back of the bus and the other to lead the pack. The school boards require at least one of the volunteers to be trained in emergency first aid. All volunteers must also get a vulnerable sector criminal record check. These costs are covered by the health unit. Volunteers will receive an honorarium of $15 per route as well. To register for a walking school bus route visit: https://healthunit.org/ health-information/physical-activity-rest/activeschool-travel/. Prospective volunteers should email walkingschoolbus_lgl@healthunit.org.

COUNCIL
COUNCIL APPROVES NEW PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES FOR VICTORIA PARK EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Bridges will once again be placed in Victoria Park in Smiths Falls after spring runoff had compromised the previous structures. On Monday, March 4, council awarded the contract for the design, supply and installation of the pedestrian bridges to MAADI Manufacturing. The cost for the bridges totals $232,318. In the spring of 2014, spring runoff washed out Turtle Island and severely
compromised the integrity of three pedestrian bridges connecting the Lombard Street area of town and the downtown core for pedestrians, explained Art Manhire, the town's director of community services, at council's committee of the whole on Monday, Feb. 25. Trees on the upstream side of Turtle Island, that had been there for at least 50 years, were washed out. At that time, the town looked for a cost-effective solution to fix and re-install the bridges, which was implemented. Howev-
er, the town says within the following two years the high water and surge issues in the basin came close to washing out the replacements. So, for safety reasons, the the town removed the structures in harms way and staff began to look for a better strategy that would work with the higher water levels that have proven not to be an anomaly, but the new normal. The park went without a pedestrian linkage last year until the town council could find a suitable, permanent solution.
Climate change and Parks Canada metrics for water control in the watershed above town have caused a significant change in water flow through the channel in the Victoria Park basin. In the last four years, the town has seen two years of significant flooding in the spring that had put entire sections of the pedestrian link underwater. In May of 2017, water was flowing through a 42-meter-wide channel at a rate of 200 cubic metres per second. In consultation with the Rideau Valley Conser-
vation Authority and Parks Canada, the town has concluded that to have a structure span the river, it would need to rest at a height that would keep it out of the highest water levels predicted - some 121.5 metres above sea level. The new bridges will be built to abide by these recommendations. Council agreed to change to the bridge's deck and rail design at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday, March 11, after their initial approval earlier in the
month. Instead of a perforated aluminium deck, it will be made of high-density rot-resistant wood with a 20-year life span. The rail system will switch from a horizontal configuration to a horizontal rail system to enhance safety. The cost of the changes is pegged at $8,547.84. Manhire had recommended that the manufacturer integrate LED lighting into the bridge to enhance safety and visual appeal. However, council didn't approve this, due to the cost. The price tag for the lighting: $27,475.

town can conduct business, create more efficient use of space, update and provide sustainable assets capable of meeting the service needs of the community into the future - all while respecting the building's heritage and improving the accessibility of town hall in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Art Manhire, the town's director of community services, reported that through consultation, it became apparent that in order to meet the needs of the fire department, the lower level plan needed to be reworked to provide the required space for the dispatch centre, compressors, wash stations and training area. This meant that the council chambers would have to remain in their current location. Originally, there was the potential to move council chambers downstairs into a space now occupied by the fire department to make the chambers fully accessible in accordance with the AODA. Manhire said in order to make the council chambers accessible in their current location, a lift will be added. Another change for Phase 2 includes the addition of renovations to the planning and building services department. This service area had been included as part of Phase 3. However, Manhire reported that with the current demand for planning and building services, the proposal for this service area needed to be expedited. He added that tacking this job onto Phase 2 will be more cost effective in the long run. The town has budgeted $1.5 million for this phase of the project. The additional scope of work to renovate the space for planning building and engineering services is estimated to cost $300,000. However, Manhire reported that town staff believe this additional cost can be funded through building reserves. Phase 2 builds on the first of the renovation, completed last fall. That phase saw the creation of a welcome centre, which is home to the town's department of economic development and tourism,
Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Association. Phase 3 will include the renovation of the council chambers

WHAT'S THIS CELLPHONE BAN ALL ABOUT, REALLY? The provincial government has announced, starting in September, students will be banned from using cellphones in the classroom except for educational purposes. Is this a non-announcement? Local educators indicate classroom cellphone use is already limited in most instances. Education Minister Lisa Thompson confirmed the ban March 15, citing recent public consultations that indicated 97 per cent of respondents support some form of a ban on cellphones. Beginning next school year, cellphones will no longer be allowed in the classroom unless they are required for educational purposes, health and medical purposes, or to support special needs, she said. "By banning cellphone use that distracts from learning, we are helping students to focus on acquiring the foundational skills they need like reading, writing and math." Kids in class need their cellphones and are using them today to help them with their studies - fundamental ones like reading, writing and math. The government is talking about something that already exists. School boards have policies governing the use of technology in the classroom. With all the technological changes in the past 15 years, it's important for educators to take advantage of new technology and teach students to use it responsibly. Personal technological devices may be used during instructional time for educational purposes. Principals and teachers are expected to establish guidelines for the use of the devices with students that emphasize responsible and safe use. Principals and teachers are already doing this - there doesn't need to be a complete cellphone ban in the classroom. Guidelines also state cellphones and other devices can be used on school property outside of instructional class time, so long as the use of these devices does not distract from instructional class time, extracurricular activities, and cocurricular activities. Use of the device should also not violate any other school policy or negatively impact the network. John McAllister, board chair of the Upper Canada District School Board said on social media recently, "The UCDSB has had a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy for many years. The issue here is not cellphones but their use in the classroom as a learning and teaching tool as well as the digital etiquette which follows (applies to adults as well anywhere). Professional judgment by educators in the classroom ought to be the only rule." In the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, the Policy and Procedures guidelines for the use of personal cellphones includes limited personal access. The policy states: "Personally owned computing devices shall only be used for educational purposes during instructional time." The provincewide ban on cellphones in the classroom is part of the government's new 'Education that Works for You' vision. Leading up the vision's unveiling March 15, more than 72,000 parents, teachers, students, employers and organizations provided input. Maybe this cellphone ban was included in the statement to deflect some of the attention being put on controversial changes affecting class size, autism services and sex-ed.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER IS RIPPING UP HIS PC MEMBERSHIP CARD Dear editor, Premier Doug Ford has turned his back on rural Ontario, so I would encourage rural Ontario to turn their backs on him. MPP Randy Hillier was elected by his constituents as their representative at Queen’s Park, not to be Ford’s puppet. Randy has served his riding with great dignity and loyalty to the people. Due to Ford’s bad judgment on kicking Randy Hillier out of the party, I can longer support the provincial Conservative party and have torn my party membership up and urge others to do the same and stop all donations to the party and stop volunteering for the party. Our MPPs must be able to speak freely to attain better results.

HELP RESTORE FAITH IN POLITICAL SYSTEM Dear editor, The various Canadian governments have a long history of giving in to corporations and putting the law aside for them, but corporations should always have to follow Canadian law and suffer the consequences when they break them. Corporations should not have special treatment just because they are “job creators.” Laws that protect people and the planet should not be scrapped for corporate profit. As a longtime Liberal party supporter I am very disappointed that the initial positive feelings toward the Trudeau government is being soured by apparent regression in their stated goals and philosophy. Hy-
Don’t be a LitterBug!
Please keep our community clean.
pocrisy is not only to be revealed and reviled but it is a political sin that few voters will forgive. If the Liberal government wishes to continue in their mandate, they need to seriously change their current direction, take responsibility for their errors and begin again to foster the trust of the electorate by recreating openness, obvious fairness and sharing of power within their ranks. Only by doing this will the elected liberal MPs be able to show their voters that this government represents all of the Canadian people and the Canadian values that have made us all proud to be citizens. Bring to fruition all of the platform that they were elected upon and help us restore faith in the political system. Sincerely,
THOMAS SOLC PERTH

One year already, and what an exciting ride it's been for Functional Performance Fitness! Since the official opening on March 26, 2018, membership sales, class attendance and the services being offered at Functional Performance Fitness (FPF) have seen incredible growth. Since opening their doors, FPF's fitness classes and personal training programs have grown from just a few to 18 group classes per week. Owner Natatia Gemmell is now adding even more classes to accommo-
date member requests, as the demand continues to grow. Gemmell and her team are so thankful for the incredible community support since they opened their doors a year ago - FPF would like to express their sincere gratitude to all their clients and members, both past and present, who have been part of this journey.

SENIORS ENJOY SOCIALIZING ASPECTS OF PEP PROGRAMS LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Seniors are having fun, enjoying life and making new friends. That's the premise and the outcome of the PEP Seniors Therapeutic Centre (formerly Perth Enrichment Program) in Perth, which will celebrate five years in May. "It's wonderful," said participant Shirley Young, who is 94 years of age. "It makes my week. I can only manage the one day, and Monday is my day." Young's day begins with a van ride, as she is given a ride to the program from her home in Perth. She enjoys social hour with a hot
beverage and muffin to start. Then it's on to gentle exercises and brain games. "The brain games are really stimulating," she said. "I really enjoy that part." She said her husband passed away five years ago, and the PEP has been a saviour for her. "It was just what I needed," Young said. "I love to socialize." Pauline Fitchett is the executive director at PEP. "Currently we have approximately 12 clients per day for our day programs in Perth," Fitchett said. "We currently have eight clients in Smiths Falls. Our Breathe Well Live Well Program in Perth has 11 clients attending, for a total 67 vis-
its per week. Some of our day program clients in Perth come more than once a week. We also have seniors from the community come into PEP just for the exercise. This isn't always consistent but we have nine who do come on different days."
SMITHS FALLS PROGRAM The PEP programming expanded to Smiths Falls in 2017 with a COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) rehab program, a trial of the Breathe Well Live Well project. Then it was expanded to regular programming in 2018. This is where Alice Evoy, 89, of Rideau Ferry

Submitted/Pauline Fitchett Bonnie Foster shares a hug with her mom, Alice Evoy. The pair find great comfort in the PEP program in Smiths Falls. Evoy enjoys the program's activities, while her daughter, Foster, has some time to herself without worrying about her mom. enjoys her Thursdays at the Cornelia Street facility. "I wasn't too social," Evoy confessed. "But I really enjoy this. It's lots of fun. We get beautiful lunches from Two Guys for Lunch (which is right next door). There is more food than we can eat." Evoy enjoys trivia, jigsaw puzzles (and is working on a 2,000-piece puzzle at the moment), and spending time with her new friends at the PEP program on Thursdays. Evoy's daughter, Bonnie Foster, said her mother is so much happier with her new friends and the social time when she spends the day in Smiths Falls. "It's something she looks forward to," Foster said. "She loves it, and I love it. It gives me time to do things like banking and Mom doesn't have to sit in the car." Foster said she has a peace of mind knowing her mother's being taken care of in a loving and social environment. Foster confessed that her mom didn't want to go to any programming, but had the opportunity to attend the Breathe Well Live Well clinic offered in Smiths Falls last year. "Mom fell in love with Pauline and we went to that clinic for six weeks. When Pauline asked her if she'd like to consider the day program, Mom felt the love and support offered ... and it took off for her that way." Evoy said she would love if the program were to
expand (pending funding), as she really enjoys the new friends she's made. Like Don Page, 90, who has been coming to the Smiths Falls program since October. He sold his farm in Montague Township after his wife, Jane Purcell, died last year. He moved out to the south end of Smiths Falls and lives on his own. "It's good for social contact," Page said. "It helps me make the best of this lonely job since my wife died, but it's fun. It's a very challenging program here, even for people who are highly educated." Page, who is writing his memoirs - a cathartic endeavour. "Losing Jane left me devastated," he added, but he does look forward to getting out once a week when he's able, and he still drives.
HOW IT ALL STARTED Dr. Bob Van Noppen and his office nurse Suzanne Rintoul had many discussions about the need for services to support seniors staying at home. "When Bob and I started working together we were both quite amazed at the number of seniors in the town," Rintoul said. "There were a startling number of times that the elderly patients would express the need for respite care. They felt rushed at their appointments. They had to plan all of their errands in a very short time frame. And so we brainstormed a lot. What could we do to help
this seniors out?" Van Noppen insisted that if clients come for the day, then the program should have a purpose not just respite for caregiver but a therapeutic centre providing socialization, cognitive and physical therapy. "We provide comprehensive assessment, therapy focused on meeting their individual needs," Van Noppen said. "The caregivers receive the much-needed support, respite, education and where to find more information." The social committee's intent is to provide a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for program participants - and their caregivers/loved ones - to meet people, make friends and expand their social networks, reducing the risk of loneliness and social isolation. Social events would be scheduled outside of PEP hours, during a suitable time for older adults within our program and their caregivers, taking into consideration the spectrum of cognitive impairment of clients and the time caregivers would be able to attend. The goal is to provide opportunities for social interaction and to foster an environment that clients and their caregivers feel comfortable and safe participating in, with the hopes of increased socialization facilitating the ability for them to remain indeSee - page 11

pendent and at home as long as possible, noted Pauline Fitchett, the executive director. The social committee organizes a social event each month. Examples include a games night, strawberry social, music evenings, or a barbecue in Stewart Park, Perth. This charitable organization is supported financially by the Ministry of Health, the United Way of Lanark County (Smiths Falls location), and through various community grants and fundraising efforts, like the Lanark Trades Tournament, Docs of Ice (coming up at the end of March) and the Lanark Highlands Adventure Hunt, which takes place in the fall. Donations also come in memory of people who have passed away.
UNITED WAY FUNDED Helen McIntosh, the United Way Advisory Council chair said, "One of United Way Lanark County's priority goals - successful aging - is to help ensure seniors are able to stay in their homes and remain engaged in the community, while all caregivers feel supported. "Programs like the one run by the Perth Enrichment Program for Older Adults helps those seniors in need within our community. The United Way is excited about the expansion of PEP's programs from

Perth to Smiths Falls, made possible with funds from our very generous donors. We look forward to seeing their new program succeed." Van Noppen added that they fund the programming in Smiths Falls and Perth "any way we can. We do a lot of fundraising. We get some money from the Ministry of Health. We recruit corporate sponsors. We get grants. We charge user fees." Van Noppen said he found this remarkable group of dedicated people focused on the common cause: To help older adults thrive to the maximum degree they can. "So the challenge did not seem difficult. I would say that I do a lot more work on fundraising than I imagined I would," he said. "The need is for about enriching the lives of our clients and strengthening them for independence." Testimonials like: "I cannot believe you brought

Local journalism makes a difference. Support us by registering at insideottawavalley.com my father back to us," to "My husband is actually talking and laughing at mealtimes," or "My mother looks forward to it all week. All her best friends are there," is why they do what they do - to make local individuals and their families thrive. They do it through a comprehensive assessment and then apply therapy to that patient's specific needs - be they physical, emotional, social or spiritual, and providing their caregivers with rest and education, Van Noppen ex-
plained. Rintoul added: "The literature provides substantial evidence that caregivers are hidden patients
in need of protection from physical and emotional harm. The most rewarding part of our job is when a family trusts you to leave their loved one in your care. The caregiver is happier and their loved one is receiving great care and stimulation." It's a win-win situation.
"While the family is getting respite, they can also be reassured that we are providing the client with every aspect of therapy while they are in our care," Rintoul said. "We are executing a tailored program to maximize the clients physical, intellectual, and emotional capabilities." These past five years have been rewarding for everyone at PEP, Fitchett said. "Having the opportunity to get to know so many seniors and their families in the community has certainly enriched all of our lives," Fitchett said. "We are looking forward to serving many more clients in the upcoming years." For more information on this program, call 613-2017172 or visit morepep.ca

SCOUTING IN SMITHS FALLS CELEBRATES 90 YEARS EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com
Submitted/UCDSB Staff and a student from the TR Leger Smiths Falls Campus pose beside artwork Tuesday afternoon at the Doorway to Hope Exhibit.
TR LEGER'S DOORWAY TO HOPE EXHIBIT SHINES LIGHT ON YOUTH HOMELESSNESS The TR Leger School's Smiths Falls campus hosted the Doorway to Hope exhibit on Tuesday afternoon to raise awareness about youth homelessness. The project encouraged TR students to produce works of art from old doors. The works featured information about the crisis, students' personal reflections on it, and messages of hope to those facing it. Ten pieces of art were displayed in the entranceway of the campus. TR Leger art teacher Amy Doxey said doors were chosen for the project to represent transition to a better life. One
side of each door demonstrated the problems of youth homelessness, while the other offered positive messages to those attempting to rise from it. "What a great symbol the door is," said Doxey, who organized the project. "It's a kind of passage - a way to find entry into all the community supports that exist to battle youth homelessness." The painted doors bore original poetry about youth homelessness, reflections on how problems at home and school can drive youth into homelessness, warnings that one youth on the streets is too many, and good coun-
sel such as, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest times." The project extended beyond art. Doxey encouraged her students to learn about homelessness through in-class discussions, study of Habitat for Humanity materials, visits from Cornerstone Landing Youth Services, as well as newspaper articles. "I'm hoping (the doors) will bring awareness to the situation so the government and others take it more seriously and do something about it," said TR Leger student Rick Walton, who designed one of the doors.

Scouting in Smiths Falls celebrates its 90th anniversary this year. Beavers, cubs and scouts filed into the Smiths Falls council chambers to receive recognition for their longstanding existence in town on Monday, March 4. "It's great to see you all in uniform," said Mayor Shawn Pankow. "As a former cub and a former scout, I have great respect for the whole scouting movement. I think it does a great job to help us appreciate a lot of things in life, to learn a lot of important things." Pankow said scouting teaches one to be respectable and honourable in addition to helping youth learn about the environment, camping, canoeing,

MY STRING OF PEARLS IRIS WINSTON I wear my family history around my neck in the form of a pearl choker. Many years ago, when the Habsburg Empire was still strong, an Austrian noblewoman gave this valued family heirloom to her daughter on the eve of her marriage to an Austrian count. She treasured the pearls, and though they were not grand enough to be the talk of Vienna, they were frequently admired. Much later, the count, an avid card player, was playing bridge at his club. The stakes were high and - at first - he won. Then, a young Austrian lawyer joined the game. He said that he needed to win enough to buy an engagement gift for his fiancée. They played all night, and when the count had bet all his money, he bet his wife's pearls. And so the lawyer won a gift to take to his bride. But this was not the end
of the story: the year was 1938. The lawyer was Jewish, and involved in politics as well. He was one of the first to be taken by the Nazis and thrown into a concentration camp. Most of the rest of his family were liquidated or lost in the turmoil that followed. The lawyer's father, a veteran of the First World War, could not believe all that he saw happening around him. He refused to leave his homeland - waiting, hoping that the madness would pass, and Vienna would once again become the pleasant city he had known. He was still waiting when the Nazis hauled him away to Auschwitz. His wife, who did escape to the United States, lost her sanity wondering what had happened to her beloved husband (the United States had strict quotas for accepting refugees. This was why my grandmother, who had been born in Austria, was accepted but my grandfather, originally
from Poland, was not eligible; his birthplace contributed to his death warrant). Even years later, the family was unsure how he had died, though they assumed that he was one of the six million victims. Meanwhile, just before the lawyer had been taken off to Dachau, he had given the pearls to his fiancée, telling her that somehow he would find her when the Nazi horror was over. She and her mother ran a small fashion house in Vienna. Among their clients was Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. The duchess had grown fond of Renée and Ernestine Raphael over the years, and arranged visas for them to go to England. So, Renée packed up the few things that she had left. For the last several months, valuable antique furniture had been the only fuel available to feed the fire, and most of her jewelry had been sold to buy food. However, she had kept the pearls - and now

man; she wore the pearls at her wedding three weeks later. Almost immediately after their marriage, the lawyer joined the British army to fight those who had robbed him of his homeland. Until the day she died, my mother wore the pearls: they had come to represent the gift of living in a free country, the right to think and believe as one chose. Both my parents died young - the pearls were the most meaningful part of my

she sewed them into her clothes and took them with her to England. Renée's mother refused to leave with her daughter. "If I go now," she said, "your Xandl will lose all hope, because he will have no one." That courageous old woman gave the lawyer the strength to fight back. He was one of a small handful of people to escape Dachau alive - how, I don't know, because he could never bring himself to talk about it. Only the deep scars on his back and the sorrow that never left his eyes were constant reminders of that time of suffering. Early one night in March 1939, he met Ernestine and together they crossed the border into Switzerland, and from there made their way to England. Overjoyed at the news that her mother and fiancée were on their way, Renée ran up to a London policeman and said in very broken English: "Please, what do I do? I want to get married." "Well, lady," replied the Bobby dryly, "first you have to find a man." But Renée had found her

PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT
Submitted/UCDSB SFDCI graduates Skyler Findlay and Bryce McKenny accept the Ontario Heritage Award for Youth Achievement from Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell and Ontario Heritage Trust Board Chair Harvey McCue.
SFDCI STUDENTS EARN GOVERNOR'S ONTARIO HERITAGE AWARD Brant-Terry, Upper Canada District School Board principal of Indigenous education. "We know that these powwows bring a quality experience to the community as we strive toward reconciliation, and they offer our students experiential learning in its finest form. It is really motivating and rewarding to see the hard work of our students and staff recognized by the province," she said. Blake Seward, a lead on the teaching team for this project at SFDCI said, "This award reinforces for our students that they're doing meaningful activities, because their work was not only validated by the community, but by the lieutenant-governor, as well." The 2018 powwow, held June 9 and 10 in Smiths Falls, was made possible through the efforts of doz-
ens of students as well as Mohawk elder David Jock, and the SFDCI teaching team of Seward, Paul Merridew, Jeff Burns, Doug Miller and Rebecca Soudant. It was designed as a culminating project to promote the concept of reconciliation, and involved student work from a variety of courses such as art, technology, history, hospitality and Indigenous studies. It demonstrated how experiential learning fosters a deeper connection for students as they discover other cultures. The powwow featured Indigenous dancers, a gallery of artwork bearing information on missing or murdered Indigenous women, a display on the sacrifices of Indigenous people serving in the Armed Services, and booths featuring information on Indigenous culture.

HANNAFORD, Lenabelle Mary
It is with a heavy heart that Shari Rathwell announces the passing of her Mother, Lenabelle Mary Hannaford on Tuesday, March 12, 2019. She was in her 100th year, having turned 99 on February 5, 2019. Daughter of the late Joseph Jackson Riley and the late Lena Dusome. She was one of 9 children. In her lifetime, she saw many difficult things including war and depression, but also all of the miracles of technology that we enjoy today. Mom loved music and the joy of dance so much that she became a dance instructor. She entertained people around her with her song and offers to dance right up to the end. Her favourite pastimes included playing cards and fishing for hours with family members on Hay Bay. She was a registered nurse who finished her career at Scarborough General Hospital and then at Bendale Acres Nursing Home, both in the Toronto area. She raised seven children and one grandchild. Four of her children predeceased her - Harry, Fred, Marion and Bella. Her surviving children are John, Leslie and Shari. She had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mom helped me establish Riley’s Catering Co. and tirelessly worked alongside me as long as she was able. I say goodbye to a loving mother, best friend, caring nurse and trusted confidante. Mom’s final care has been entrusted to the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior. A private interment will take place at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Hamilton later in the Spring. Condolences/Memories www.pilonfamily.ca

RATHWELL In Loving Memory of Ruby Wilena (Plant) Rathwell who passed away suddenly on March 19, 1998, 20 years ago. We think of her in silence, We often speak her name, But all we have are memories, And her picture in a frame. Her resting place we visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave her there. Always remembered by her children and grandchildren
Orville L. Ferrier January 14, 1930 - March 25, 2018 He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just kept right on working, For those he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And if he had some worries, They went unspoken too. He was there, a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto, In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to, When times were good or bad, One of our greatest blessings, My husband and our Dad. Lovingly remembered by Wife Audrey, Children Gloria, Jim, Dianne and families Robert C. Russell February 26, 1933 - March 16, 2012 A Silent Tear Just close your eyes and you will see, All the memories that you have of me. Just sit and relax and you will find, I’m really still there inside your mind. Don’t cry for me now I’m gone, For I am in the land of song, There is no pain, there is no fear, So dry away that silent tear. Don’t think of me in the dark and cold, For here I am, no longer old. I’m in that place that’s filled with love, Known to you all, as “up above.” Forever missed and loved by Your wife Min Rob, Joan and family
GIBB-CARSLEY, Natalie Maude (nee Crawford) July 5, 1936 - March 19, 2014 In loving memory of a lovely, loving and loved wife, mother and grandmother who left us five years ago. Your earthly presence was so precious to all of us as are the wonderful memories of you that keep you alive in our hearts. Always loved, remembered and missed. John, children Althea, Victoria and John Jr. and their children and families.

We went to Memphis two weekends ago and saw ducks walk through a hotel lobby and get onto an elevator. No, I did not have too much Tennessee sippin' whiskey. And I assure you that I have not lost my marbles. I have the photo evidence to prove my bird tale! These particular ducks walk a red carpet every morning at 11 a.m. and spend the day swimming in the hotel's impressive, marble, lobby fountain. At exactly 5 p.m. - to great fanfare - the five ducks (one drake and four hens) are led back to the elevator and returned to their luxury enclosure on the hotel roof. This is sounding crazier, isn't it! But read on there is lots more to this story. The hotel involved isn't just any hostelry. It is the famous Peabody Hotel, a stone's throw from even more famous Beale Street, the home of Blues music in downtown Memphis. The Peabody, a 150-yearold luxury hotel on Union Street, features more than 450 rooms and suites. It caters to the stars and the elite who visit the city on
the Mississippi River. So, why did we go to Memphis, the city of Graceland (Elvis Presley's beloved mansion), Sun Records (the birthplace of Rock and Roll) and Beale Street to watch ducks walk through a hotel lobby? This time around we were travelling with our longtime British friends, Martin and Wendy Ireton from West Yorkshire, England. The Peabody Hotel was part of our travel plan although we did visit the other key Memphis attractions of course! Hotel management says the duck tradition began in 1933. They explain that the general manager of the day had gone duck hunting with friends in Arkansas, just across the Mississippi River from Memphis. Apparently he and his companions found it funny to leave three live decoy call ducks swimming in the hotel fountain. To the surprise of the hotel owners and staff, guests loved the swimming ducks. Since then the daily duck marches have grown into an attraction that appeals not only to guests at the Peabody but also to residents of Memphis and especially visitors to the city. I have to say I was stunned at the size of the audience on a sunny, warm Tennessee afternoon. The huge hotel lobby, especially the expansive mezzanine level which overlooks it, was absolutely heaving with people. I couldn't begin to count them. My best

estimate is that 1,000 to 1,500 people were jammed into the place. Three perfectly outfitted Bellmen were doing their level best to keep visitors and guests off the red carpet which would soon feature the duck march. Precisely at 5 o'clock a swell of applause and cheers told me the stars of the show were being marshalled out of the fountain and along the red carpet to the elevator. Camera flashes exploded everywhere as the ducks, moving to the music of the 'King Cotton March' (John Philip Sousa's 1895 military march), scurried toward my position. The applause and crowd noise intensified and suddenly there they were, slowly parading toward the lift. I was able to fire off four frames, two of which are very clear I am happy to report. So, there is the saga of the Peabody Duck March. If you go to Memphis the experience is on offer twice a day, 365 days a year. Something of an anticlimax in the end I have to say. Still, if you've done the main highlights in Memphis the marching ducks are a bit of a giggle! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

MOTHER'S BEDROLL CREATION DID NOT SIT WELL SOME GOOD ACTING HELPED HER GET HER WAY, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column
The bedroll wasn't exactly what my sister Audrey had in mind when she asked Mother if she could have her own bed. I can't imagine where she thought we were going to put it, even if Mother agreed. She and I were already sleeping in the upstairs hall, which served as our bedroom, and even at that, my brothers had to walk through the hall to get to the two little
rooms at the back of the house. So Mother came up with the bedroll. It was a long tube affair made from an old flannelette sheet and stuffed with rags, and it was laid right down the centre of our bed from head to foot. I hated the bedroll, especially in the winter time, because on cold frosty nights there was nothing I liked better than to sleep tight up to Audrey, and put my feet against her, which of course, caused her to roar like a banshee when I did. Now the bedroll was down the centre of the bed. It wasn't ideal, but it was the best Mother could come up with. I tried to think of how I could get rid of the hateful bedroll. One night I did, and it had to do with my hateful brother Emerson
on the coldest night of the winter. I knew it would only be temporary, but one night without it was better than none. We were in the middle of the worst snow storm of the year, and on top of that, the wind howled and the old log house cracked like thunder. Emerson made the whole scary night worse by telling me the cracking noise was simply ghosts of long departed relatives trying to get back in the house away from their cold graves, many of which were right there on our farm! Well, that's all I needed. Of course, I could turn on the tears with a drop of a hat, and that night when I crawled into bed, I was crying like a banshee. Nothing Audrey could do could calm me down. Now, I admit my tears
had little to do with my fear of ghosts, it had more to do with trying to figure out a way to get rid of the bedroll, even for one night. I told Audrey if I could just sleep closer to her, without the bedroll, I would feel safe. What I really wanted was to feel the warmth of my sister's body next to mine. Audrey yelled at Emerson, but he was already snoring it off in the back bedroom. My feet were freezing, so I upped my crying and Audrey finally said she was going down to the kitchen to the creton couch if I didn't stop immediately. I told her if she got rid of the bedroll, even for that one night, I'd be so much better. She let out a great sigh, sat up in bed, and pulled the bedroll out from between the sheets, tossed it on the
floor, pounded down her pillow, and turned her back to me and faced the wall. It didn't take me long to move to where the bedroll separated us, and the tears stopped immediately. It took me a while to get to sleep, as I tried to figure out what I would do the next night. Audrey certainly wouldn't fall for that trick twice in a row. But at least that night I was comforted by the warm body of my beloved sister. I knew as long as my sister and I had to share a bed, that hateful bedroll would
lay between us. I would just have to put up with it, like a third body in bed with us. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?

LAWS SHOWS 2 CATS UP FOR ADOPTION The Lanark Animal Welfare Society has a couple of cats on the agenda to meet this week. Here are a male and female cat, both looking for their fur-ever homes. Stuart is a five-year-old neutered male who was surrendered to LAWS. He is a very handsome and loving boy. He is extremely affectionate and loves attention. Stuart had to have emergency surgery on Dec. 24, due to a blockage caused by urinary stones. He has fully recovered and is now looking for his fur-ever home. Stuart will require a special diet of Urinary SO food. Please call the shelter to come and meet Stuart.
Please meet Taylor. She's a very pretty, small-framed but with long bushy hair, black/white lady. Look at her white whiskers as well. Her piercing eyes carefully observe all that's going on around her. She is between one and two years of age, and is stunning and requires a bit of work when you like to be her new owner. Daily brushing, maybe two-to-three minutes a day, will keep her spectacular fur healthy and tangle free. It will also help to bond you and her. She's a little shy upon first meet and greet but quickly warms up. It's hard taking pictures of dark cats ... you just have to see for yourself how gorgeous she is. Taylor has been
