WHAT’S ON

ARNPRIOR HOSTS TWO EVENTS FOR BOY FACING RADIATION THERAPY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Two upcoming events will benefit a little boy with cancer who has strong connections to Arnprior. Eight-year-old Camden Arthur is preparing for six weeks of radiation therapy in Boston after doctors found a tumour behind his ear on June 29. His parents, Shane and Sarah, are both off work to care for him and keep up with hospital visits. "Every week is something different, and it's 42weeks long, so," Sarah said from their home in Napanee. "We're doing OK. It's day by day. Lots of prayers." She said the efforts made in their hometown of Arnprior - by grandparents Glenn and Kathy Ar-

thur, Debbie and Stuart Greene, and Rick Richard, among others - is appreciated, if overwhelming and somewhat difficult for such a private family. This weekend, at Giant Tiger parking lot on Saturday, Aug. 18, beginning at 9 a.m., is a car show, live music, face painting, balloons, auction, and a barbecue. For more information or to help in other ways, call Tracy Smith at 613-618-3373. On Sept. 29, a slow pitch ball tournament will take place at McNab Ball Diamonds. Entry for each team of 13 players is $350. A dance at the Arnprior Legion with music by Glass Town will follow. For more, call Joe Shean at 613-852-2534.

COUNCIL

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com McNab-Braeside council has made it clear it doesn't want all-terrain vehicles on the CN Trail through the township. Council voted unanimously Aug. 7 to deny a request by ATVers to use the trail, citing concerns about vandalism, fire, and conflict with other users and residents living along the route. In a delegation to council June 19, the Renfrew County ATV Club asked to partner with the township with a lease that would allow members access to the former CN railbed. Club president Teresa Hebb argued allowing ATVers on local trails, including the former CN, CP and K&P lines, will enhance local

tourism and benefit area businesses. It proposed providing maintenance and $15 million in liability insurance on a loop route between Renfrew and Arnprior using the Algonquin (CP) and CN trails. Subsequently, council received several emails and letters from township residents opposing the request. Among them was a letter signed by Ralph Chown and nine other citizens arguing that the trail should be promoted for 'healthy' activities instead of ATV use. ATVs would "deter walkers, runners and cyclists who would otherwise enjoy the health benefits," they wrote. As well, during the public comment section of council's Aug. 7 meeting,

residents Ian McKinnon and Andre Bourbonnais of Madison Heights reiterated opposition to ATVs on the trail and praised council's decision. Council members noted that ATVers can use most area roads other than highways and will be allowed to use the Algonquin Line (former CP Rail line) that is expected to be open this year between Arnprior and Renfrew. "So they don't need to use the CN line too," said Mayor Tom Peckett. He said people need a place to hike, jog and walk their dogs without having to deal with motorized vehicles on their route. The club says it will police ATVers and having use of the trail will enhance safety and reduce trespassing, yet farmers'

fields and the park have been "ripped up," Peckett said. "It's sad some people have no respect." Coun. Scott Brum said four-wheelers are already ignoring no-ATV signs by using the trail, causing damage to township infrastructure. "They've broken our gates and there has been vandalism," he said. He noted one walker on the trail twisted his ankle on a hole left by a fourwheeler doing 'doughnuts'. As well as deterring other users, young people "tearing up and down the trail" are "turning into a nuisance for residents (along the line)," he added. Brum said he is worried that with the bush tinder dry, sparks or tossed cigarette butts from ATVers could cause a major fire. Unlike the snowmobile club, the ATV club's liability is inadequate to cover such an eventuality, he maintained. Coun. Heather Lang agreed with the Chown

letter, noting council has a reputation of promoting activities that support healthy living. Allowing ATVs on the CN Trail would be counter to that position, she said. It would also be counterproductive to the township's plan to upgrade the trail in sections, including

adding stone dust to a piece in September, she said. Noting that Renfrew County council is partnering with the ATV club for the Algonquin Trail, Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden agreed such use should be restricted for the CN trail. "Let's control what we can control." Coun. Mark MacKenzie

said that while he agreed with the sentiments expressed by other councillors, council should attempt to find a problemfree route for ATVers to use. "They are a lot of ATVs in the area. Where do we want them to go?" Allowing ATVs on the CN Trail during the busy non-winter months would be a "disaster," McKinnon

told council. He said he can attest to how well-used the route is, as he and his wife have walked their dogs about four kilometres a day on the trail for the past 15 years. He said he was initially opposed to allowing snowmobiles on the trail, "but it has not worked out too bad." It's a short season and

Phone: 613-256-2064 • 1-888-779-8666

despite some speeding concerns there is room for snowmobiles and other users to pass, he said. Conversely, the trail would have to be widened if ATVs were allowed, he said. Bourbonnais reported he is still being disturbed by snowmobilers on the trail, especially when they boom by at 2 a.m. Peckett said he'll raise

the issue with the snowmobile club again. It did bring the OPP in a few times last winter, but police eventually indicated there wasn't enough traffic to warrant enforcement, he said. It's not likely the offenders were snowmobile club members, "but kids without mufflers," said Bourbonnais.

Former Arnprior councillor Mark Willmer is taking another crack at getting elected to Madawaska Valley Township council.

Now a Barry's Bay resident, Willmer is among five candidates vying for four councillor positions in the Oct. 22 election. The Barry's Bay resident served on and off on Arnprior council from 1989 to 2014, when he

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com Andrew Fogarasi would be tougher on contractors and consultants, but only after he offers some advice to the electorate. "I want people to vote smarter," said the voice-over entrepreneur. "Don't just vote a name for each of the five council positions because there are five slots open." He said to vote for the best, even if it is only one person, and leave the rest; or it is that much harder for that one person to win in the first-past-the-post system. "If you just go ahead and fill in four other names because 'they sound good,' then by voting for all those extra people you are actually making it less likely for the person you really want to get on council to win a seat." Fogarasi lends his voice to commercials around the world, including his ancestral home of Hungary. He moved his family from there after a short stint, landing in Arnprior - on Havey's Hill overlooking the LCBO about 10 years ago. His is a homebased business. "I thought this would be a great place to raise a family, and I was right," he said. "We do a lot of things right. But there is also a lot of things we can do better." It isn't always the best answer to accept the cheapest bids when soliciting work from contractors, he said. After major projects, construction crews don't always

Derek Dunn/Metroland Andrew Fogarasi fix neighbouring properties that were harmed. "I've heard lots of complaints from taxpayers About many of these projects," Fogarasi said. "There should be significant penalties for any breaches." He also dismisses "fast-talking" consultants such as those who oversaw the expensive and difficult to navigate website. Fogarasi is also interested in managing growth so that the town's uniqueness balances with the bedroom community that Ottawa is becoming. "Overall, council needs to be more than a tired, rubber stamping body," he said. "Enthusiastic people with fresh ideas, a different perspective on things. This is the sort of thing that will keep council vibrant and working hard for everyone's benefit."

ONTARIANS DISSATISFIED WITH OPP INVESTIGATE APARTMENT BREAK-IN OPP ENFORCEMENT OF DISTRACTED DRIVING LAWS DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com OPP has released results of a survey showing most Ontarians are less than satisfied with the enforcement of distracted driving laws. The annual survey by an outside company of 1,007 participants asked to rate "enforcing distracted driving laws" between 1, very dissatisfied, and 4, very satisfied. The result was 2.67. The survey has a margin of error of no greater than plus or minus 5 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Brian Shannon is with Young Drivers of Canada in Renfrew. He is satisfied with many aspects of OPP's enforcement of the Highway Traffic Act. But when it comes to stopping people from using their cellphones while driving, he has a problem. "I think OPP are doing a great job out there enforcing the Highway Act," Shannon said. "We still have a major problem with distracted driving. That's not so much a problem with the OPP, but with the justice system. There needs to be much stronger punishments. The penalties need to be much more severe."

OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair said the public must be more vigilant. "Distracted driving remains the deadliest behaviour on OPPpatrolled roads," said Blair. "Despite the OPP's robust campaigns and year-round commitment to get motorists to drive distraction-free, we need the public to maintain a zero tolerance for distracted driving. Passengers in particular can be key to identifying and stopping these situations. "It is this collaborative approach that will allow us to make significant gains in eliminating distracted driving and the resulting deaths on our roads." Respondents were also less than satisfied (2.81 out of 4) with the OPP's enforcement of aggressive driving laws. About 84 per cent are very satisfied or satisfied with the enforcement of drunk driving laws. On major occurrences - such as large scale demonstrations, natural disasters, homicides, missing persons and major transportation incidents - 92 per cent of respondents were very confident or confident in the OPP's ability to handle them.

A resident of an apartment on Harriet Street discovered a broken window on Sunday, Aug. 5. Further investigation revealed the apartment broken into overnight Saturday night to

Sunday morning. Physical evidence was seized, and the investigation is continuing. The OPP Renfrew Detachment investigated 342 calls for service between Monday, July 30 and Monday, Aug. 6.

Renfrew OPP officers investigated three break and enters during the past week. On Friday, Aug. 3 a homeowner interrupted a break in on Opeongo Road in Renfrew. The suspect was arrested and charged.

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

BROKEN PROMISES ALL TOO COMMON Don't make promises you can't keep. The classic song by Three Dog Night has a simple message, but unfortunately it's one that politicians all too often ignore. And when you mix in an electorate that demands unrealistic promises, you have a recipe for disappointment and cynicism. The buck-a-beer promise made by Conservative leader Doug Ford during the recent provincial election campaign comes to mind. As does the 10-cent reduction in gas price pledge. As well as the revoking of the sex-ed curriculum. And even the expediting of the Highway 17 four-laning in Renfrew County. Many beer-drinkers across the province have been excited at the prospect of buck-a-beer since it first became an election issue. But it won't be long before disillusionment sets in. The brewery industry has already realized there is much froth but little substance to the promise. If Ford's gang really wanted to give us a $1 beer, they'd drop taxes on pints, not expect brewers to either provide it at a loss or come up with a new cheap rotgut brand (or smaller cans). How is reducing the minimum companies can charge for beer from $1.25 to $1 going to give us buck-a-beer when the best we get now is a $1.60 beer? Given the rapid rise in the popularity of craft beers, it's not likely there will be much of a market (or stomach) for any beer that costs less than $1 to make. Same goes for cheaper gas. If the provincial government really wants to give us a 10-cent break on gas, drop the taxes. Despite Ford's promise, gas prices in Ontario are about 20 per cent higher this summer than they were last year under the tax-happy Liberals. Then there's the new government's promise to scrap the school curriculum for health and physical education (or sex-ed to those obsessed with the sex-related material part of it) and replace it with something more "age-appropriate." But there isn't enough time to properly consult with parents before the new school year begins. So it's unlikely we'll see a full repeal of the sex-ed part of the curriculum, which will infuriate a small but vocal group of Conservative supporters for whom the sex-ed issue is paramount. Another pre-election promise that threatens to be a letdown involves the next stretch of the four-laning of Highway 17. Now with our MPP appointed transportation minister, many local motorists and politicians appear to think the project is a slam-dunk for the next round of roadwork. Certainly with John Yakabuski as highways minister our chances are improved. At least we will be on Queen's Park's radar. However, let's not get carried away with expectations. It's hardly a matter of our homegrown minister snapping his fingers and it will be done. The new government is facing some serious challenges when it comes to bringing the province's finances under control. It's not going to be as easy as our premier seems to think to find all the savings he has promised. Then there are the political considerations. Yes, the new government has a strong rural base, but the keys to reelection are still the Toronto-area seats taken by the Tories from the Liberals on June 7. And those MPPs will be lobbying the transportation minister to fix much more serious traffic bottlenecks than we have in Renfrew County. But let's keep our fingers crossed the resumption soon of the four-laning up the Valley is one promise that will be kept and not become an impossible dream like buck-a-beer, a 10-cent-a-litre gas cut and a return for students to the 1990s.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY MP'S FLYER OFFERS MISLEADING INFORMATION Dear Editor: Re: A response to Cheryl Gallant's info flyer on the CPP purchase of wind turbines. There is so much misleading information, but I'll focus on one misconception that all Ontarians should be aware of. The flyer states that Ontario sold 8,242 gigawatts of electricity at a loss of $700 million to New York state, which she claims will take away Canadian jobs. There are two problems with this statement. The first is a lack of understanding as to how Hydro One makes and anticipates electrical demand. Hydro makes a little more power than their programming algorithms predict. This prevents brownouts or blackouts as a result of excess consumer demand. New York state knows Ontario produces excess power which must be sold or it is lost. Ontario's option is to sell excess elec-

tricity below cost or lose it and get nothing in return. You need to know that North American is divided into three grids: eastern North America, western North America and Texas. This allows jurisdictions to buy and sell power as needed. That's why a blown transformer in Ontario blacked out the eastern sea coast. So when New York state needs extra power during a heat wave, it turns to Ontario. If our price is too high, they shop elsewhere. The second problem is loss of jobs. The power is produced in Ontario by Ontario generators (50 per cent CANDU reactors), operated by Ontario citizens. I fail to see how exporting a finished product (electricity) would eliminate Canadian jobs? Ms. Gallant has a penchant for making connections where none exist. Finally, all Ontarians need to take a step back and remember that all technologies take about 40 years from inception

until they are ubiquitous. It does not matter - be they cars, computers, TVs, LED lights or wind turbines, 30 years from now, wind turbines and solar panels will not even be an issue. Remember, the Model T Ford did not run very far before it blew a tire.

HUMMINGBIRDS PERFORM AMAZING FEATS, MANY MORE THAN EAGLES MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

Large things have always captured our attention. Mountaineers strive to climb the highest peaks. Fishermen dream of catching the biggest fish. In order to see wild animals, people travel to distant lands to see giraffes, elephants, and hippopotami while few if any would walk even a block to see a sparrow or a butterfly. With our fascination for all things large comes a misconception that with size comes complexity. While some large animals such as wolves display a relatively complex life history, it is not nearly as unusual as that of a dragonfly. After spending a year in the water living as a gillbreathing nymph, a young dragonfly crawls ashore, travelling a distance equal to us walking several kilometres over impossibly rough terrain, only to bust out of its skin and emerge as an air-breathing, flying master of the air. The same applies to

Michael Runtz/Metroland Hummingbirds can fly backwards. These feathered helicopters have wing bones whose ball-and-socket joints allow the wings to rotate on their axis. birds. We deem eagles to be majestic while songbirds, at best, pretty little things. Yet, our smallest bird, the ruby-throated hummingbird, can perform many feats that put to shame any accomplishment of an eagle. Hummingbirds can fly backwards - eagles cannot. These feathered helicopters have wing bones whose ball-and-socket joints allow the wings to rotate on their axis, which not only allows their owners to move backwards but also to hover with incredible precision. They invert their wings by twisting their wrists, which aren't very far from their shoulders. In eagles, as in most birds, the wrist collapses

on the wing's upstroke to pull the wing towards the body as it's raised. Hummingbirds use those same movements to rotate their wings, a movement that generates lift on the upstroke. Eagles, like most birds, generate lift only on the downstroke. Hummingbirds can stick out their tongues - eagles cannot. Unlike that of an eagle, a hummingbird's tongue wraps around its skull like a garden hose looped over a reel. When the bill is inserted into a flower, muscles pull down the tongue's base (the hyoid process), causing the tongue to shoot out of the mouth deep into a flower. The tongue is grooved and folds to create a nectar-

holding trough. Near its base the tongue bends so that it's no longer flat. This bending stores energy that is released when the tongue flattens out again, drawing nectar into the bird's mouth like a little micropump! As if those adaptations were not enough to make one never gasp again at the sight of an eagle, hummingbirds perform other amazing feats. Their tiny wings beat at the dizzying speed of 50 beats per second while their heart pumps at the incredible rate of 1,200 beats per minute during flight. On cold days hummingbirds drop their body core temperature to as low as 10oC (a huge drop from normal temps in the high 30s), entering an energyconserving, death-like sleep known as torpor. Perhaps after making two under par on a hole, a golfer should claim to have scored not an eagle but a hummingbird!

MCNAB-BRAESIDE BIDS FOR CANADA 150 RINK

CHICAGO COMES TO CALABOGIE

FRIDAY 6:00 pm 7:30 pm 9:00 pm

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com

Angelina Hunter Trio Soulstack JOE LOUIS WALKER

McNab-Braeside has joined eight other communities, including Arnprior, in seeking to have the Parliament Hill Canada 150 outdoor rink relocated to their area. The township submitted a last-minute application for the rink's boards, plexiglass, protective netting, players benches, hockey nets and a scoreboard system. The federal government has indicated the rink items along with up to $150,000 to offset site preparation and installation costs will be given to a 'vulnerable' community within a 200-kilometre radius of Ottawa. The $8.2-million Parliament Hill ice rink was used by about 150,000 skaters over 83 days last winter. If successful, McNab-Braeside

would use the rink to replace the "dilapidated" outdoor rink in Braeside. A decision on which community's bid is successful is expected within the week, although Kemptville may have a skate up on the competition as it claims its bid has been endorsed by the Ottawa Senators. In return for the receiving the rink, the successful community would need to supply land, overhead lighting and a change room for skaters, as well as fund annual maintenance and ensure the rink is used yearround. At its Aug. 7 meeting, McNab-Braeside council supported the application made at the July 13 deadline and approved an estimated expenditure of $80,000 from reserves for installation of the rink in case its bid is successful.

Council had already allocated $170,000 to replace the Braeside rink in 2020, supplemented by $45,000 in donations. However, if successful in its bid, the township would be able to install a higher quality rink in Braeside with savings up to $158,000. The township's proposed in-house rink project features a smaller ice surface with no player benches, plexiglass or scoreboard. McNab-Braeside stresses the rink would fit in well with the township's emphasis on promoting healthy living. Summer activities at the rink could include ball hockey, basketball, pickle ball, tennis and archery, the application notes. "It's a fantastic opportunity. I think it would be wellused," said Coun. Mark MacKenzie. He said he hoped the decision-makers take into consideration the township's participation in the Festival of Small Rinks, which featured a "fantastic event" in White Lake. "I'd like to see it expanded to other rinks in the township," he said.

OPG IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON THE OTTAWA RIVER TO PROTECT ONTARIO’S BIODIVERSITY. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is conducting research in the vicinity of its hydroelectric generating stations on the Ottawa River. This research, which is being carried out by Kleinschmidt Associates and Bowfin Environmental Consulting, is in support of OPG’s ongoing American eel and lake sturgeon mitigation studies for these species at risk. Kleinschmidt and Bowfin boats may be in close proximity to the shoreline as they complete day and nighttime fish abundance studies and shoreline inspections. This annual research is conducted under permits from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and in accordance with O. Reg. 242/08 (as amended by O. Reg. 176/13), under the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Work will continue until the end of October.

DISABILITIES NO DETERRENT FOR BURNSTOWN WATER-SKIERS JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com It was a water-skiing outing to remember. Seven clients from Renfrew and Arnprior Community Living and two others with disabilities had the chance to conquer the waves of the Madawaska River in Burnstown Sunday, July 29. SkiAbility Ottawa brought their boat and specialized equipment to the Burnstown Rowing Club dock for its annual water ski visit. The volunteer organization provides access to the sports of water-skiing and wakeboarding for persons with a physical or developmental disability. Calabogie's Graham Mlodozenec, who seriously injured his left leg and hand in a motorcycle crash in Ottawa in 2013, participated in the program for the first time. He showed off his prowess by conducting some tricky manoeuvres and despite wiping out a couple of times was all smiles when he came ashore. Chris Holden, who founded the program with his father Ross, said he expected Mlodozenec would do well as he still alpine skis with the help of an outrigger. The degree of difficulty is tailored to the skills and confidence of each participant, he explained. "Safety first, but we want to make them feel as independent

as possible out there on the water." Mlodozenec said the experience had similarities with snow skiing, but dealing with the wake gave the sport a difference feel. But it was a totally enjoyable time. "I'd recommend it for anyone and everyone," he said. He said he learned about the SkiAbility program when he was in rehab in Ottawa. Holden said each participant is given about half an hour of dryland training to prepare them for the ride. "Knees bent, arms straight, heads up ... that's the key," he said. He noted the water-skiing is ideal for persons with disability as it is a finesse rather than power sport. SkiAbility Ottawa makes its sessions a family affair with friends and family members encouraged to come along to share in the experience and provide support. The program succeeds when the participants feel a sense of accomplishment and want to come back to try water-skiing or wakeboarding again, said Holden. Some, like Alexandra Marta, even come back to volunteer for the program or take up the sport competitively. Among those taking part this year were Community Living clients Christine Drouillard, Geraldine Prince, Christopher Bujold, Gary Inglis, Kevin

Ostrofkie and David Jakes. The program is based in Taylor Park in Ottawa, but when Community Living Renfrew County South asked about a local session 10 years ago, it was arranged and has continued annually ever since. The Burnstown Rowing Club and the Township of McNab-Braeside have been "absolutely fantastic" in allowing the SkiAbility program to use the park and dock each year, Holden said. The program welcomes volunteers and corporate sponsorships. More information is available at www.skiabilityottawa.ca.

Just prior to the 1 p.m. shotgun start, Gerard Glofcheskie, Grace's father, thanked everyone for attending this year's tournament, and he acknowledged the strong support of volunteers, sponsors and the community. "It is a beautiful day," he said. "Have fun and play well in Grace's memory." Luke Glofcheskie, Grace's brother, talked about how the day often creates anxiety for his family; however, the ongoing love and support of participants as well as the community makes the worry dissipate. "Today is a day we would love for Grace to be here," Luke said. "Thank you for keeping Grace's memory alive and supporting us," he continued. Other members of Grace's family in attendance included sister Rachel Glofcheskie, brother Adam Glofcheskie and mother Nancy Glofcheskie. In the last two years, by way of the annual tournament and through the Grace Olivia Memorial Fund, the following donations have been made in memory of one girl who loved her community: St. John XXIII (two), St. Joseph's (two), Grade 8 graduate awards (two), high school scholarships (two), OVCC (one) and sponsorship of local kids. The amount raised from this year's Grace Olivia Golf Tournament was still being counted as of press time.

McLAREN, Irene Margaret (nee Lee)

Cornelia Pearl Greenhous (Neufeld)

August 20, 1933 - August 7, 2018 Pearl was born in the small prairie town of Waldheim, Saskatchewan to Hulda and John B. Neufeld. Growing up in the shadow of the Great Depression with her sister and brothers (Mavis, Harvey and James), she led a simple but rich life as they followed their schoolteacher father from Waldheim to Hague to Hepburn, SK with God, family, education and music (piano) serving as her four pillars. Once the long prairie summers days passed into fall, Pearl would apply herself at school (it wasn’t really an option not to when your father was the principal!), and upon graduating high school she attended the Saskatoon City Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in 1956. She spent a few years as a nursing instructor but eventually headed east to Ontario, where she continued to work for the benefit of others at the Children’s Aid Society. While in Ontario, she met her future husband, Brereton (Ben) Greenhous, and they married in 1968, eventually settling in the Glebe in Ottawa. In 1972 they welcomed their only child, Carl. Pearl selflessly devoted herself to him, but still managed to find time to volunteer at Mutchmor and First Avenue schools, teach piano to neighbourhood children, and tolerate a never-ending line of Bull Terrier dogs that her husband (and son) were so fond of. She was enormously proud of her son, and through him came to love hockey, attending as many of his games as she could over the years and eventually becoming a devoted Ottawa Senators fan who was always happy to talk about last night’s game. After Ben retired, they moved to Arnprior where together they enjoyed the friendliness of a small town and the slower pace of life. Pearl became an active member of Emmanuel Anglican Church, and after Ben’s passing, drew strength from the friendships that she had built there over the last 20 years. She also found pleasure as a regular at PJ’s, the Antrim Truck Stop and Steve & Denny’s and enjoyed the simple yet heartfelt conversation that her lunch and dinner visits provided. Pearl will be deeply missed by Carl, his wife Andrea Gregoire and their kids Olivia and Aidan Gregoire, her family (near and far), and her many friends who will always remember her warm smile and generous heart. Friends were invited to join Pearl’s family during visitation Friday August 10, 2018 at the Boyce Funeral Home Ltd, 138 Daniel Street North, Arnprior from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Funeral Service was conducted Saturday August 11, 2018 at the Emmanuel Anglican Church in Arnprior at 11:00 a.m. An interment will take place at the Arnprior Albert Street Cemetery at a later date. In memory of Pearl, please consider a donation to Emmanuel Anglican Church in Arnprior. Condolences/Tributes/Donations at www.boycefuneralhome.ca

LISTEN TO ATVERS: M-B JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com The fear expressed by some ratepayers that McNab-Braeside council was too accommodating to the Renfrew County All-Terrain Vehicle Club regarding its proposal for the CN Trail is unwarranted, say councillors. Questions revolving around whether council should have entertained a delegation from the club at its June 19 meeting, and if residents along the trail should have been notified arose at the Aug. 7 session. As it turned out, the club's request to partner with the township to allow all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use of the trail throughout the township was rejected by council. Madison Heights resident Andre Bourbonnais said citizens had a right to be worried because council had flip-flopped on allowing snowmobiles on the trail after hearing from their representatives. Mayor Tom Peckett, who noted that decision was based on serious safety concerns, stressed councillors have an obligation to listen to any group seeking to address them before making a decision "that's best for the township." "You'd be upset if council sloughed you off," he said. He suggested ratepayers monitor the township's website to keep up on council's activities. The council meeting agenda is available the day before the Tuesday evening meetings, he noted. As well, people can contact council members directly, he said. "If you want to call us, please do," he added noting contact information is on the township website. "We don't hide from anyone." Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden noted most ratepayers "don't really care" what council does "until something like this comes along." But council could a better job communicating with the public when something controversial arises, he added.

OPINION

MOTHER FOUGHT LOSING BATTLE WITH COMMON HOUSEFLIES ENTIRE FAMILY WORKED EACH SUMMER TO KEEP THEM OUT, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

Mother had more than one way to fight the common housefly, which she hated with a passion. She was convinced before coming into the house, they had collected enough germs from the barns to send us all to our sick beds. So when they managed to get into the kitchen, they were short-lived, let me tell you! Her favourite procedure to kill them off was the spray can of FlyTox which she got from Scott's Hardware in Renfrew. When she used this powerful spray method, the kitchen was closed up for the better part of the day, as Mother attached the invaders with such force, that for hours after, you could smell the strong Fly-Tox all the way to the ice house, and the fumes hung from the ceiling like gossamer clouds. Father said it was more deadly than the housefly, even those that came first from the barns. She absolutely refused to use those hanging sticky coils that attached to the ceiling, since, after

letting Father talk her into them, a fly fell off and landed in the butter dish, which, of course, had to be thrown out - butter and all! Just about every farmhouse in Northcote used the hanging coils. Even those farm wives who were immaculately clean, which Mother could never understand. If we were invited to tea and cookies on a summer day to a house where the coils were used, Mother never took her eyes off them, waiting for a fly to fall onto the kitchen table, which would immediately cause her to say we had to rush off to do some urgent chore at home. She even had Father make homemade swatters for we five kids. Square pieces of fine wire mesh were tacked to a thin strip of lath, and we each had our own, with orders to keep it close at hand, so that we could swat any fly that came within a foot of us. Of course, we were never allowed to kill a fly that was anywhere near the kitchen table! We had to shoo it away, and, hopefully, it would land on the back of a chair or a windowsill where its splattered body was well away from where we would be eating. Then we had to take wet rag and scour the spot afterwards. On hot days, it wasn't unusual for us to have our noon meal out in the grape arbour, where a long table, covered with oilcloth was always at the ready. Of course, it was thoroughly scoured before we took our

food out, and then two of us kids were given the job of standing each at an end of the table with a flour bag tea towel. We had to keep it swishing over the table to scare off any fly that was trying to join us at dinner. So the two swishers, given this job, couldn't eat until everyone else was finished. Father would just shake his head. Going in and out of the house was another challenge for each of us. We had to first stand at the screen door, and even if there wasn't a fly in sight, we had to rattle the door a few times before opening it, and swish our arms over our heads and around our bodies and scare off any fly waiting to get inside. Mother's ongoing battle with the common housefly was never quite won. Father said her time and energy would be better spent fighting a war she could win. He said, as long as he lived on the farm (born there, he would remind her), nobody ever won the war over the summer invasion of the flies. That didn't stop Mother from trying. Little did she know that my sister Audrey and I would grow up and take with us, too, our hatred of the dreaded housefly. Never forgetting Mother's constant battle that went on in our kitchen out there in Renfrew County every summer so many years ago.
