DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Mayor John Fenik has admitted to a complete change of heart when it comes to security cameras, and now wants to see them in Conlon Farm and elsewhere. He is even willing to recall Perth town council back from its July recess to do so. "The splash pad at Conlon Farm was hit by vandals who spray painted it," said a visibly upset Fenik as he spoke to Perth town council on Tuesday, June 25. It took as much as 30 hours of repair time to make that situation right again, he added. But that was not the only act of vandalism to get his goat. "(At) Terrace on the Tay, the windows were all busted up," he said, admitting he has changed his mind since 2016. "It is time to put video surveillance in front of town assets," he said. "I'm fed up with vandalism...These punks have to be

stopped." Recalling his own opposition to installing cameras because of privacy concerns, he said that "if you walk in any store, you will be on tape." Looking around the council chambers, he said, "I expect council's support on this." Coun. Judy Brown, who represents council on the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area, echoed similar concerns. She said business owners were facing fears over shoplifting. Those owners wanted to see "more of a presence of (police) officers on bike or on foot," she said, though "we would have to pay more for the contract," as a result. Deputy Mayor Ed McPherson suggested that the town's by-law enforcement officer contract could be amended so that those officers "could work evenings too," not just during the day. See FENIK, page 5

After 20 years the Town of Perth and the owners of Code’s Mill have mutually agreed to discontinue the Town’s lease and parking enforcement on the Code’s Mill property. Starting July 2nd, 2019, the Code’s Mill parking lot will no longer be a Town operated parking lot but will to be operated as a private metered, pay and display parking lot. Both parties decided that the best course of action was to go their separate ways. “It has been a positive relationship but situations change. We are happy to be moving forward in an amicable way”, said Mayor John Fenik. “We will be installing a Pay and Display parking kiosk”, said Code’s Mill Manager, Christopher Stewart. The stairway connection between the Code’s Mill property and the Wilson Street public parking lot will remain in place, supporting the businesses within the Downtown Heritage Perth. It is hoped that all the new signage indicating the change will be in place for July 2nd.

STUDENT SUPPORT WORKERS FIGHT BACK AT JOB CUTS ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Chanting 'Mental health matters,' and 'Cuts hurt kids,' hundreds rallied in front of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) office in Brockville June 26, protesting cuts to para-professional employees. A total of 160 cuts were made, including 24 student support partners, also known as child and youth workers and behaviourists, after UCDSB trustees approved the cuts in the 2019-2020 budget June 19. Other job losses are 42 teacher positions, 30 education assistants, early childhood educators, English language learner instructors and instructional assistants, 22 school office support staff, 22 learning commons informationists,

11 speech language assistance positions, and more. The layoffs represent a 53 per cent cut to para-professionals within the UCDSB, according to one of the laid off employees, Jim Mulville. Mulville, who was a student support worker within the Seaway family of schools, is also the Professional Student Services bargaining unit president in District 26 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF). Presently, the 24 student support partners each work with a family of schools within the UCDSB, which encompasses Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry and Prescott-Russell. Mulville said many have held their positions for three to four years, some for 20.

THE ISSUE: EDUCATION CUTS LOCAL IMPACT: THE ELIMINATION OF STUDENT SUPPORT PARTNERS IN SCHOOLS COULD TAKE AWAY ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS IN THE AREAS OF MENTAL HEALTH, SUICIDE PREVENTION, FAMILY TRAUMA AND MORE "There's no one to pick up that slack," Mulville stated. "They're (UCDSB) not implementing any new staff members. There's no mental health workers coming in, so whatever happens, it's with existing staff and they're already overtaxed with violence in our schools and other mental health issues, not to mention presenting a cur-

riculum and worrying about academics. There's just no way that they can service 27,000 kids with the staff they have on hand." Mulville said student support partners are frontline workers who provided critical assistance to students in the areas of mental health, suicide prevention, access to outside agencies, homelessness, family trauma, and more. He said the board should be more worried about the well-being of its students than the deficit. "As an elected trustee, your job is to make sure the education system in your community is at its peak, at its best, servicing all," he commented, urging the board to "give our schools what they need and let the province come down and make those cuts." "They're doing the dirty work for the Ford government and it's shameful," Mulville added. In May, Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP

Steve Clark announced a $927,495 increase to the UCDSB's provincial funding allocation (the largest in the board's history). They are set to receive $342 million from the province for the 2019-2020 school year, including a nearly $41 million grant for special education, "in light of their declining enrollment," Clark said in a press release at the time. "In the fall, the board came to me concerned about their financial situation following a transportation arbitration decision that left them in a deficit," he said. "I assured them that our government understands the needs of rural Ontario..." Mandy Steele, chief negotiator with OSSTFs District 26 bargaining unit, is also being laid off. She said while the UCDSB may think they're saving money, the impact will be felt elsewhere, possibly in the board's graduation rate. The UCDSB has a goal of raising its graduation rate

to 90 per cent by 2020. "We increase that (graduation rate) by having the supports to make that happen," she stressed. "If our students are struggling with mental health, struggling with addiction, struggling with anything that's preventing them from reaching that graduation, why aren't we putting those supports in to help them continue their education career?" The resources of community agencies will also be burdened, as well as social assistance, health care and the justice system, Steele expects. "It's not like a savings in education is a savings for the province," Steele said. "No, it's just transferring the need elsewhere."

DIFFICULT DECISION UCDSB board chair John McAllister said the decision to make the cuts was a difficult one, but necessary to address the $11.7 See ‘THERE’S’, page 6

FENIK MAY CALL A RARE JULY MEETING TO DEAL WITH ISSUE Continued from page 1

(Coun. Barry Smith later offered that those by-law officers could be the ones proactively monitoring the cameras, so that they could then "move quickly," when they spy something going on.) In speaking with Lanark County OPP detachment commander Insp. Derek Needham, McPherson said that while Needham was aware of the problem, "the 911 calls come first," and that in the meantime, "he's doing the best that he can with the number of officers he has." Fenik returned to the issue, saying that "I want to know who's doing it," and that he intended to have a mix of hidden and visible surveillance equipment. "They see the cameras but there will be others around," he said. Community services director Shannon Baillon said that she would go back to see what her old reports from 2016 said, but she noted that "privacy concerns (are) still valid. I don't want to lose that," she said.

'WE NEED TO BE ON THE MAP': FENIK ‘THERE’S NO ONE TO PICK UP THAT SLACK’ CERTAIN VIA RAIL LINE WILL STOP IN PERTH Continued from page 4

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Mayor John Fenik continues to insist that if the proposed high frequency rail line from Toronto to Quebec City becomes a reality, Perth will be a stop on that line. According to the Toronto Star, the federal government announced $71 million in federal funding from the Canada Infrastructure Bank for the proposed, dedicated high-frequency passenger rail line between Toronto and Quebec City. The money will go toward feasibility studies

and environmental assessments. A map published by The Globe and Mail earlier this week shows the proposed line, with new eastern Ontario stations proposed for Peterborough, Tweed, and Sharbot Lake connecting to the existing station in Smiths Falls - but still none for Perth. (The paper sourced the map from VIA Rail.) "That map is very old," insisted Fenik at the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, June 25. "I want Perth on that map." He joked that "as soon as they change that map, I'm going to get it framed in my office." Fenik added that he had even offered to put money into the budget to help build "a traditional, heritage (station)," he said. "We need to be on the map."

Getting Perth on that map has been part of many discussions that the mayor has been having with the Crown corporation. "I have had four or five meetings with VIA Rail representatives, including the president of VIA Rail, and we talked about Perth, a Perth station," said Fenik. "I promise you, that is one of the things I will be following up with tomorrow." In an email to The Perth Courier dated June 25, Paul Langan, president of High Speed Rail Canada, a "citizen's advocacy group for educating Canadians on high speed rail"" noted that under the latest map, "Tweed and Sharbot Lake are back on the map," and there is a new station called Eglinton added too in the Greater Toronto Area, but Perth still remains absent.

million deficit the board, which governs 79 schools, is facing. He said that even with these changes, the board is still carrying a nearly $7 million deficit in the special education budget. "We have 4,200 employees, this only involves 24. Not to undervalue their work whatsoever, but student wellness is the responsibility of each and every principal, guidance counsellor, student success teacher, etc.," he said. "Kids who are in crisis, this group never dealt with them as such, that was the responsibility of a therapist and we'd work with outside agencies such as Open Doors and CHEO to address some of these issues." There are no plans to replace the jobs, but that doesn't mean the board

doesn't have a system in place, McAllister pointed out. He referred to the UCDSB's mental health plan and each school's student improvement plan for student achievement and wellness as guiding documents. "The Upper Canada District School Board has not abandoned its student wellness responsibilities and never will," he commented. "Students who were in trouble last year were treated and they're going to continue to be treated this year in the same way." To further address the special education overages, the board also approved

a pilot "we hope will help us increase our revenue and decrease our costs." That program will see students in classes for part of the day, but withdrawn when they need treatment from an education assistant, teacher or social worker, then reintegrated into the classroom. "We think it's going to be a better service model for these students as well as other students in the class," McAllister stated. "It's not totally business as usual, but there's a high degree of normalcy," he continued. "We're open for business and we look forward to working with our students in the fall."

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

As it entered budget deliberations in May, the Upper Canada District School Board was facing an $11.7 million deficit, which has been followed by this newspaper. The 160 job cuts to partially address that deficit, will impact the supports students receive in the classroom.

WHY DO WE COVER COURTS? APPEARING BEFORE A JUDGE CAN BE A NERVOUS TIME â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EVEN FOR REPORTERS

insideottawavalley.com

DEVOY Column

Apart from the judge and the lawyers and bailiffs, no one really wants to be in a courtroom. Sometimes even the jury. Whether it's a civil or a criminal matter though, the arrival of a reporter in a courtroom can make already tense lawyers tense up even more. I know. I've seen it myself. By being in a courtroom, you're not catching people at their best. In fact, they're likely being judged for their worst decision ever. I've covered a case where a financial planner stole money from an elderly lady with dementia. Where a mental health nurse had sexual relations with one of his patients. Where a former nurse was charged (later found not guilty) with abusing young boys in their youth. Perth's first murder case in 20 years. And, worst of all, a case where a teaching assistant at a local elementary school plead guilty to possessing and viewing child pornography. That last one gave me nightmares for months - and I needed to talk to a therapist afterwards. So why do we do it? Why do we cover these trials? Everyone has a right to a fair trial. The public also has a

right to know. We are governed by Toronto Star guidelines that state that we "believe in freedom of expression and the public's right to know what is happening in the courts." Heading into court, we have to hold section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) about the "freedom of the press," as being equal to section 11 (d), which covers the right "to a fair and public hearing." Notice that word, public. We are not out to get anyone. We take what we do seriously. If there is a publication ban, we adhere to it (even if our lawyers are challenging it.) If charges are dropped, or added, we report on it. If we name someone upon their arrest, we have to commit to follow through until charges are dropped, or the person is convicted, or found not guilty. (As one journalism teacher told me: "No one is ever found innocent.") We do not publish the names of alleged sexual assaults, or of children in legal proceedings. In civil cases, we try to get both sides, and we are not on anyone's side, rooting for the police, or the defendant. We don't cover as many cases as we'd like, or as we used to. And no, we will not be your tool to settle a score in court. It's all there in the public record. And so while few people like to be in court, not everyone can be in court - but we can, and we are there in your stead. It's about trust. Our relationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This article is part of that project. We welcome your questions and value your comments.

SAYING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOU READ: 'THESE PUNKS HAVE TO BE STOPPED': FENIK NOW URGES VIDEO CAMERAS AT PERTH'S CONLON FARM

"Yes, for public safety this is a good thing, the only ones that should be concerned are those doing wrong."

BRENDA J. ORTON, FACEBOOK

"I fully support the installation of video cameras. I was born and raised in the UK where CCTV is ubiquitous and has been for decades. There is probably no one there who doesn't support the need to ensure public safety and to protect property owned by taxpayers. Privacy concerns shouldn't be an issue for law-abiding, moral citizens. Aren't those the type of people Perth deserves?"

PAUL RAMM LECLERC, FACEBOOK

"While I understand people being upset about acts of vandalism, Mayor John Fenik's outburst about "punks" crosses a line from informed debate to cheap shots that don't push the discussion forward. Those whom the mayor would call "punks" do not grow up in isolation. Their behaviour is often a knee-jerk reaction to a "punk" society in which they have not been able to access and benefit from the limited resources available to them. Instead of spending money on surveillance and police enforcement, let's invest funds into programs that prevent folks from falling into a place where vandalism seems like the only place to vent anger and frustration at a society that has often failed to treat them with dignity and care."

MATTHEW BEHRENS, VIA EMAIL

YOU READ: 'WE NEED TO BE ON THE MAP': FENIK CERTAIN VIA RAIL LINE WILL STOP IN PERTH

"Finally some smart decision making! I can't believe trains are not used more! People need options in order to give up cars first! Hopefully it's gonna happen sooner than in a decade!"

DAGMAR SAGAT, FACEBOOK

"That could mean more tourism for Perth and expansion plus jobs. Also means no taxi rides from Smith's Falls."

NATASHA PICARD, FACEBOOK

"Hmmmm great idea but by the time this ever materializes we will all be old men and and likey be pushed around in a wheel chair."

COMES TO TERMS WITH HER YOUNGEST CHILD GRADUATION GRADE 8 STEPHANIE GRAY Column

The end of June was a whirlwind. It usually is, but this year seemed more whirlwindy than usual. It's all adulting's fault. Specifically, the parenting part. This year the end of June featured not only the crush of exams and assignments for Boychild, but also Grade 8 graduation for Girlchild. If you've been reading this column for any length of time (more than the last few seconds), you may remember I have mentioned more than once that every stage of parenting comes with pros and cons. This seemed especially true when the kids were babies, but now it's truer than ever. Diapers and feedings and teething seem like the best of times some days...even with the sleep deprivation. It seemed that with every positive milestone (Yay! She's talking!) came the potential for a drawback (Wow. She's singing all night.) Always that undertone of sleep deprivation, right? And I often come back to the wise words of a friend

of my mother's who told me once when I was lamenting, "Oh, honey, you will never sleep well again." Or something like that. Because they are always our babies, no matter how old they are, and we always worry about them. This is why I find myself lying awake sometimes thinking about things like math and chemistry. (It never ends well.) I am getting better at accepting the fact my offspring don't do things the way I did when I was their age. For example, sometimes they don't look at studying as a fun thing to do with a friend while eating licorice and drinking Jolt Cola. At the same time, sometimes they do exactly as I did. I, too, frequently crammed and procrastinated. There were allnighters. There was occasional mild and major panic. (I wore it well, though, as it usually resulted in As. Except sometimes in math. And French. And gym. But I was close.) So, the end of June has featured a lot of parental badgering and cajoling, to the point of annoyance. Let me tell you, peeps, this has the potential to backfire. Tread that line carefully. Just as all that culminating stuff was, well, culminating, we had graduation activities ramping up. That in itself is a good thing, unless you spend too much time dwelling on the fact your littlest one is entering high school. Let me tell you, peeps, do not do that. It makes you feel old.

And maybe a little weepy. The tricky part of graduation is the prep. Fortunately we were organized enough to find a suitable (and not overly ostentatious) dress a couple of months ago, but there was still some last-minute accessorizing to do, including a search for shoes that would not lend themselves to further ankle injuries. Grade 8 graduation is a much bigger deal these days than it used to be. Getting the hair done I can understand, but getting nails done threw me a bit. I am not really the best role model when it comes to girl stuff. My hair often looks like a bird's nest and my nails, well, let's just say when they make too much noise on a keyboard, I end the problem quickly and not the way a manicurist would. I now have a greater understanding of acrylics and who will do them and who won't. I still think I don't have that kind of patience. Anyway, the end of June has come, and I saw a quote online, I think by Gretchen Rubin, that sums things up well: "The days are long, but the years are short." Where does the time go? It goes scary fast. The girl has gradumacated. The boy eventually got the work done. I'm going to trim my nails and take a nap.

Get ready to look at Foster Street in a whole new way. "A number of premises on Foster Street will have work done on them," said Coun. David Bird during the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, June 25. "The Red Fox (pub) will reveal its stone work." Thanks to the Downtown Perth Community Improvement Plan (CIP), there will continue to be a "rejuvenation of the frontage along that street," said Bird. Coun. Barry Smith agreed, noting that there were four Foster Street businesses taking advantage of the CIP. Around the corner from Foster Street, at the Perth Museum, there was news of a different sort, with the recent arrival of a new do-

Desmond Devoy/Torstar The Red Fox pub at the intersection of Foster and Wilson Streets on the evening of Tuesday, June 25. nation, a book published in 1906 which shows all of Perth's streets from 113 years ago. The detail, according to Smith, was almost microscopic, showing not only which businesses operated at which addresses, but right down to the location of coal bins. "Kathryn (Jamieson) was very happy to get the book," said Smith of the museum's curator. Coun. Barry Smith says he is now "satisfied" with

the town's purchase of a $143,278 sidewalk tractor, sander and plow. Smith had been concerned that the new sidewalk plow would carve up portions of people's front lawns. However, "I now have specs that were not available last time," he said, and he was now ready to sign on to the deal. "I believe we need this," said Coun. David Bird. Any "damage will be less than it was in the past."

OLD MODEL T WAS LIKE A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY AFTER INITIAL HESITATION, THERE WAS NO STOPPING FATHER, MARY COOK WRITES MARY COOK Column

Father didn't know much about cars. The old Model T we got in a trade - gravel from our pit to fill a neighbour's culvert. My brother Everett drove it home when the deal was completed, and it took forever for Father to get behind the wheel.

He cleared out the cutter and an assortment of farm tools from an outbuilding close to the house, and ever after, it was called the drive shed. When the car was brought home, Everett drove it right into the drive shed, and there it sat for days. Father finally got around to trying to start the Model T. He took the crank out from under the front seat, and I stood at the drive shed door, pretty sure the old car would blow to bits. The crank took a spin, Father's arm flew in the air, and I was sure he was maimed for life. The German swear words came out of his mouth like bullets! But the car started and was shaking like someone with Saint Vi-

tus' dance. His first trip out the lane was to Briscoe's General Store, with me in the back seat. After that first trip, there was no stopping Father. Then came the Saturday night when Mother was able to scrape together enough money to take us all into Renfrew to the O'Brien Theatre. It was a Hop Along Cassidy show, and we would be driving back to Northcote in the dark. Just before we got into the car for the trip into Renfrew, Mother had a good look at the little lights on either side of the car and sent Everett to the barn for a lantern. And thank goodness she did! It was dark when we hit the

Northcote Side Road, and so Mother lit the lantern. Holding it at arm's length out her side of the car, it was easy to see there was more light from the lantern than there was from the two little lamps attached to the side of the car. I said a silent thanks when we didn't meet one other car all the way back to the farm. One day Mother said Father should take the car into Thacker's Garage in Renfrew and have it checked over. He said as long as it was running, there was no need to spend hard-earned dollars on a car that was held together with wire and binder twine. As if he was talking about a member of the family, he said, "If she dies, she dies." Mary Cook's Memories appears as a regular column.

On Saturday, the 22nd of June 2019, Bruce Anderson passed away peacefully at the Ottawa General Hospital after a long and stoic fight with kidney disease. He was born on the 15th of August, 1946 in Lethbridge, AB to William and Helen (née Patterson) Anderson (sisters: Judy [d], Janet and Jane). He received his Master of Business Administration from Stanford University in 1972, graduating with distinction. He worked principally as a civil servant (Canada Post and Royal Canadian Mint), and entrepreneur. Bruce is survived by his son Casey Anderson (Stacey Begg). Bruce was an intelligent, authentic and passionate man, who committed himself wholeheartedly to whatever struck his interest. Proudly, he was the Editor of The Gauntlet (University of Calgary’s newspaper) and won the Fraser Institute of Canada Prize in 1992 for his research into the lifecycle of coins, seeking to achieve economies for the government. He loved soccer, refereeing throughout the Ottawa Valley for over ten years, and volunteering his time as a coach and executive member of the Almonte Soccer Club. He adored the theatre, performing under the stage name “G.A. Bain” in a variety of companies in both Almonte and Ottawa, though never fully realizing his life’s ambition of playing “Matt” in Talley’s Folly. He will always be remembered for his stories, wit and generosity. He will live on in the memories of those who cherished his inimitable style, joie de vivre and hunger to “always leave them laughing”. Bruce longed to return to nature, and his ashes will be spread on camping trips in Gatineau and Alberta this summer. Those wishing to remember Bruce are requested to donate in his name to the Ottawa Gladstone Theatre or Almonte General Hospital.

McFARLANE, Beverley Rae It is with great sadness that the family of Beverley Rae McFarlane (nee Bildson) announces her passing on June 27, 2019 in her 58th year, peacefully at home while surrounded by family.

Bev will be remembered for her caring and vibrant spirit, which carried into her committed and successful career in healthcare. Beginning as a critical care nurse in Huntsville, she touched the lives of countless patients and families.

After finishing her Masters of Arts (Leadership) with Cum Laude, Bev fulfilled her career goal and accepted the position as Chief Executive Officer at Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital. In every role Bev held, she will be remembered for her focus on patient and family centered care. Her natural ability as a leader garnered her respect from all members of the health care team. Beverley was an outdoor enthusiast who loved skiing, windsurfing, hiking and snowshoeing. Above all else, Beverley considered her family and friends to be the most treasured part of her life. She will be missed dearly by all of those who knew her. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, July 12, 2019 from 2-4 p.m. at Grandview Golf Club, 245 Grandview Drive North Huntsville Ontario.

McDOUGALL, William Ray The family of the late Ray McDougall would like to express our deepest appreciation to our family, friends, and neighbours. We would like to say thank you for all your condolences and kind words of sympathy, and for the donations made in Ray’s memory.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Terry, peacefully, in Orchard View by the Mississippi, Almonte, ON. Son of the late Ned and Doris (née Hutchison) Currie, predeceased by his darling wife, Shirley (née Jones). He will be greatly missed by his brother Pat (Joan) and sister Jean, as well as his sons Bill (Rosina) and Dan (Aamina), and daughters Maureen (Dave) and Michelle (Alejandro), and his grandchildren, who all made him proud. Sadly missed by his companion, Lucille Hillier-Kean, as well as his nephews and niece, and his many friends and neighbours. Born in Cranbrook, B.C., Terry spent most of his life happily on the Currie homestead near Panmure, ON. As a young man he enjoyed baseball and hunting. He graduated from SS#3, a one-room schoolhouse on the 3rd Line, to attend Arnprior DHS, and from there to St. Patrick’s College in Ottawa. He began his career teaching in Chesley, Ontario, but soon returned to the Valley to teach French at Almonte DHS. There he made life-long friends, and had many happy years teaching and enthusiastically coaching football. That was also where he met a young fellow teacher, Shirley, whom he pursued until she happily agreed to marry. As a ‘hobby’ farmer, Terry spent many hours on the tractor, with a chainsaw, and repairing fences. His retirement from teaching did not mean a retirement from football or farming, and he spent many further seasons coaching his beloved Thunderbolts, as well as briefer stints with the Arnprior Redmen and West Carleton Wolverines. He helped found Almonte Celtfest and Almonte Alumni to support the school. Always full of life, Terry loved to dance, especially Ottawa Valley square dancing, and was an inveterate traveler who was always planning his next trip. Terry had a life-long passion for telling the story of the people of the Ottawa Valley. He was awarded the Canada 125 medal for his history of St. Peter Celestine’s church in Pakenham, Rock of Faith. He earned his M.A. in history from U. of Ottawa in 2005; the result of his studies was the book The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870. Terry became a regular member of the Fitzroy Township Historical Society, serving as President and Past President. He often gave tours of St. Peter Celestine’s. Friends may pay their respects at C. R. Gamble Funeral Home & Chapel Inc. (127 Church St., Almonte, ON. (613-256-3313) On Monday, July 1st, from 2:00 - 4:00 and 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. A funeral mass will take place at St. Peter Celestine’s Catholic Church, Pakenham, ON. Tuesday, July 2nd, at 11:00 a.m., followed by interment in Indian Hill Cemetery and a reception at the Stewart Community Centre, Pakenham. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Almonte Thunderbolts, via Thunderbolts Alumni, or the Terry Fox Foundation would be appreciated. Condolences & Tributes: www.crgamble.com

Love and best wishes from their family.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time or reason, Will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows now many times, We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. We cannot bring the old days back, When we were all together, The family chain is broken now, But memories live forever. A year has passed and it is still hard to believe that Keith is gone. The support that we have received from family and friends is what has helped us to get through each day. He had such a presence about him. If you met him you remembered him, if you knew him you loved him. We have missed Keith every day and will miss him every day until we see him again. What we wouldn’t do for one more kiss, one more hug, one more smile, one more laugh, one more rev of the engine or beep of the horn, one more, “ I love you” one more “I love you Mom.” Always on our minds, forever in our hearts, loved beyond words.

In loving memory of David Brown July 4, 2016 It’s only been a few short years, But it feels like yesterday, As we miss and love you so very much. They say time heals but it’s not what we are finding. We gave to you our love, you can only guess How much you gave to us in happiness. We thank you for the love you have shown. But now it’s time for you travel alone. So we will grieve for you, for grieve we must. Then let our grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part, We miss and love you so very much. Though we can no longer see or touch you, Your lasting smile is forever, Now God has you in his keeping, And we have you in our hearts. Love and so missed Mom, Dad, Cath, Steve, Taylor and Bryson

WATT, David 1957 - 2008 45 years ago we took our vows “Till death do us part”. For some today is just another day. For me it marks 11 years since I held you for the last time. As I watched you slip away. The pain of losing you, is as real today as it was then. I look at our daughters; in them I find strength; a need to move on, a girl and a boy our family has grown. A life without you is all they’ve known. None on earth can take your place, You are gone but will never be forgotten. Happy Anniversary Sending you all my love.
