UNITED WAY KICKS OFF CAMPAIGN IN ARNPRIOR

CHARITY UMBRELLA HELPING REDUCE POVERTY IN TOWN, COUNTY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com The annual funding campaign kickoff for United Way Renfrew County took place in Arnprior for the first time. Held at the Giant Tiger back parking lot at noon on Aug. 22, it was a festive atmosphere with a barbecue, bouncy structure, live music and Heritage Radio live. Regional director Pat Lafreniere said many companies and private donors in town support the United Way, and a large number of residents benefit from the work done by the umbrella organization for a number of charities. "We do have a lot of supporters here in Arnprior. We also fund services here in Arnprior and we want people to know," Lafreniere said. "We are like the

tree of life for a lot of smaller agencies that might not be able to fundraise on their own." Poverty is among the issues addressed by United Way. Arnprior is a community with the highest level of child poverty in one of Ontario's most impoverished counties. According to Statistics Canada, 15.1 per cent of kids are living in low-income homes in Renfrew County; 13.6 per cent of seniors do, too. The United Way helps defray costs of area organizations such as Arnprior Family Pre-School and Galilee Centre, along with regional ones such as Hospice Renfrew and Family and Children's Services. More information on services is a phone call away at 211. Deputy Mayor Frank Dugal spoke to the crowd on hand, which included members of TAP (Teachers Against Poverty) and

The municipality formed an ad hoc committee to address poverty in May. Jamie Bramburger from Algonquin College Pembroke Campus was introduced as this year's honorary campaign chair. United Way didn't announce

a dollar target this year. It helped 5,100 different individuals last year. The goal is to help even more people. "Our goal this year is not a monetary one. We want to move that number up," Lafreniere said. "Let's help more people: that's priceless."

TOWN CANDIDATE INJECTS FLAVOUR INTO CAMPAIGN DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com He is among the most well-known of the first-time candidates in Arnprior's municipal campaign. Glenn Miller drives around the fairgrounds waving to family and friends and complete strangers alike. The fair board director is quick to chuckle between sentences, is not ashamed to tell a corny joke, yet will surprise more than a few with his work ethic and knowledge in a variety of areas. Miller had definite political plans in place a few years back. It started with winning a school board trustee seat but was derailed by health concerns. He has since learned to wean himself off 20-some pills a day, left the wheelchair in the dust, and is back on the scene. And the lifelong resident

of Arnprior - who spent years as a DJ at weddings and school dances and more - arrives with a few strong opinions on how the campaign is going so far. "I don't agree with everyone saying they need to be nice. You can't have a vanilla election. You need to bring up the issues," Miller said. "After it's over, then you come together as a team and we all work together." He thinks councillors should attend every meeting possible - not miss them for winter vacations. There should be term limits on each position so a politician doesn't become stagnant and is encouraged to advance to the next level, he said. "I'm for new blood and fresh ideas." He wants an OPP detachment again for the growing community. Well before the social media explosion, Miller devel-

Facebook/Submitted GLENN MILLER oped a website allowing DJs to communicate. He won an international award for it, and another in Canada. He believes the town needs to improve its online presence. And he says affordable housing is lacking in a big way. "I don't just talk to other candidates," he said. "I met with Dennis Harrington (of Seniors at Home) and others who provide services to find out what they need." He is fine with paving the Nick Smith Centre parking lot, but not before numerous roads in town are done first. Miller also belongs to the legion and Civitan service clubs.

A candidate in Arnprior's municipal election wants a discussion on creating a dog park during the next term of council. Lisa McGee was disappointed that a 2012 pen-andpaper petition with 311 names on it didn't even get discussed at the council table, even though town staff travelled the region to investigate dog parks and Mayor David Reid said the idea had merit. An advisory committee shot down the idea, though staff will consider it again sometime after 2024. "It was disappointing. We've never even had the chance to talk about it," said McGee, who could see a fenced area for dogs at McLean Park or near the sewage plant or even by the water tower. Another issue for the two-

year resident, who lived many years in nearby West Carleton and will canvass door-to-door with her former boss city Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, is introducing a ward system. Electing members atlarge can lead to less accountability. When representing a particular neighbourhood, the councillor is the go-to for poor snow-removal and other issues. "And there isn't any councillor other than myself who resides north of Elgin on the core side of the river," she said. "We're growing, and I know from my time as Eli's assistant that a ward-based system has benefits for accountability and accessibility." The single mother of two owns an Airbnb residence, is aformer small retail business owner, and now works from home as a customer support specialist team leader with a car sharing company. Asked about being one of only two

Derek Dunn/Metroland LISA MCGEE women running for council, McGee said she would like to see more women participating in politics. But she struggled to say why. Everyone has unique experiences, she said, but women have a better knowledge of women's needs. McGee wants a better storefront strategy. "We currently reward empty storefront owners with a 30 per cent break on their taxes. That's backwards," she said. "We need to hold accountable those who planted trees and designed the landscaping of plant beds, and encourage storefronts to fill their spaces." She also favours rate-of-inflation tax increases; zero is not sustainable.

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com The 9.8 per cent property tax levy increase McNab/Braeside council hasn't made an appreciable difference in the township's standing compared to other Renfrew County municipalities. With all tax rates now set in the county, council received a report from its treasurer Angela Lochtie at its Aug. 7 meeting that showed the township has the seventh lowest (11th highest) rate in the county. McNab/Braeside moved up one spot, ahead of Horton, from the sixth lowest in 2017. In each of the three years before that McNab/ Braeside was fifth lowest. Deep River, Renfrew and Arnprior again have the top three residential tax rates of the 17 Renfrew County municipalities.

McNab/Braeside sits in 11th, below Whitewater Region, but just ahead of Horton. Bonnechere Valley stays in fifth, Admaston/ Bromley eighth and Greater Madawaska 14th. "It shows we're pretty well in the same spot as we were four years ago (when the current council took over) with the tax levy," said Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden. "Yet we've done a lot of work." He said the report "lets ratepayers know that their money has been spent well without taxes getting out of line." Lochtie explained that OPP cost increases played a "significant role" in the township's tax requirements in the last five years. The new billing model for OPP policing has boosted the township's OPP costs from $397,568 in 2014 to an expected $948,893 this year,

upping the tax levy alone by 13.5 per cent. Provincial governmentmandated long-term asset management planning and associated infrastructure investments, particularly in roads and buildings, also played a role in the increase, she reported. The township's 9.8 per cent tax levy increase (7.5 per cent tax rate rise) for 2018 boosted the average municipal residential property tax bill by about $118 or $9.87 a month. It is based on an average assessment of $255,461 for a non-waterfront home in McNab/Braeside. When the Renfrew County and education rates are factored in, the overall residential tax rate grew 3.1 per cent. The county increase of 0.9 per cent adds another $20.91 to the tax bills, but the five per cent education drop

saves $16.67, for a final average household impact of $122.65. The biggest chunk of the township increase is being eaten up by road and building upgrades. A longterm plan that requires an annual levy increase of one to 1.5 per cent, offset by any growth in the township, has allowed the repair some of McNab-Braeside's worst roads including Scheel Drive, Kippen and this year McLaghlan. Council and staff have also developed a long-term plan over the past three years to address a number of the township's $7.6 million worth of structures that require either significant repair or outright replacement. Provincial accessibility requirements have added to the costs. Key building priorities addressed have included replacement of the Braeside salt/sand shed in 2016 and renovation of the White Lake Park building in 2017, as well as three projects this year ÂŹ reno-

OPP, INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS PUSH UP LEVY Continued from page 3

vation of the Perneel building into a central recreation facility and replacement of the Braeside RA centre and township office. Funding for the building work and future needs is being phased in over several years with annual levy increases limited to

2.5 to 3 per cent. The $118 increase also includes $22 for the OPP and almost $8 as phasing in of the recreation and library agreements with Arnprior continues. The budget also funded a new full-time recreation programmer and the conversion of a winter seasonal roads worker position to a full-time job to

bolster such summer road maintenance as mowing, ditching, brushing, pothole patching, grading, dust control and culvert maintenance. It also factors in costof-living adjustments for staff and the rising cost of winter salt and sand. With work continuing on roads and buildings and an estimated two per cent inflation rate, Lochtie estimates the township will require a 6.7 per cent levy increase in 2019. More detailed information on the 2018 budget is available on the township's website.

DEAD TREES LINE STREETS IN DOWNTOWN DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com One, two, three, four, five dead trees in a row are spotted when walking along Elgin Street in downtown Arnprior. Others along John Street North are also dead; like naked twigs jammed into sidewalk holes. At intersections, sections of new plant beds are empty as deserts. "If the intention was for a prettier downtown to attract business and visitors, then we need to make sure downtown meets that vision and hold accountable those who planted trees and designed the landscaping of plant beds," said Lisa McGee, a council candidate in the current election who raised the problem

with Metroland Media. "Many trees have died, and the plant beds look like wild fields, with sporadic gaps." The municipality's twoyear, $10-million downtown revitalization saw the replacement of underground pipes along with a daring streetscape that favours pedestrians and nature over vehicles. Yet one year later and many of the saplings have not survived. "Our beautification efforts have the opposite effect in the landscaping, and nobody is doing anything about it despite the fact it has been evident for months that there is a problem," McGee said. "I hope the contract allowed for accountability to make

things right without it costing taxpayers anything further to resolve the issues." Mayor David Reid said the subcontractor for Thomas Cavanagh Construction will pay to replace the trees during the first week of August. "I've been dealing with staff for a while on that, and they will be replaced by the contractor," Reid said. "There's no blame to go around here. It's unfortunate. It bothered me as well." Winter had a devastating toll on many area trees and plants, especially young ones, he said. April in particular - with its wildly fluctuating temperatures - was difficult to endure. Autumn is the ideal time to plant trees.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com An environmental group is offering to purchase and plant vegetation in a section of McNab/Braeside. At the Aug. 21 council meeting, Ottawa Riverkeeper's Larissa Holman presented a plan for protecting the shoreline at Red Pine Bay in Braeside. The large parking lot and open space makes it easy for rain to carry foreign sediment into the river. The lack of vegetation leads to loose soil, causing shoreline erosion. The group would like to see a variety of native plants, shrubs and trees planted throughout the area. The different types of roots would reach various

depths and create a network that should strengthen the soil. Having rainwater absorbed on land will prevent, for instance, sand from plugging holes in pebbled areas under the river that fish eggs need for protection. Red Pine is known to have spawning beds. However, council raised a few issues with the idea. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden, who lives nearby, said among those who visit Red Pine are people who stay in their vehicles to watch the sunset. He doesn't want their view blocked by trees. "We would hate to make it worse for people who use it," Armsden said. Holman said the trees to be planted could be those with leaves on top and room to see the hori-

She admitted that while the young trees are growing they may impede the view. "I'm just happy to see you are very flexible in species placement," Armsden said. Coun. Heather Lang raised issues about the type and placement of a few plants. Holman said Ottawa Riverkeeper is open to changing the type, number and location of plantings; their goal is to protect the river but that native species should be retained because, in part, they require the least amount of maintenance.

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com A group of about 15 pro-life activists caused a stir in Renfrew and Arnprior Aug. 20 with their graphic large anti-abortion signs. 'Show the Truth' campaign leader Rosemary Connell, who has been engaging in anti-abortion protests around Ontario for more than 25 years, said the group was on the second of its five-day 'missions' to spread the pro-life message. After five days in the Toronto area last month, the protesters from various areas of the province spent Monday morning in Renfrew and the afternoon in

Arnprior before moving on to Ottawa for three days. They were scheduled to finish their stint in Barry's Bay and Bancroft Aug. 24. "It's strictly for information," Connell maintained, adding that the posters of a bloody fetus do not exaggerate what abortion looks like. In today's society it often takes a shocking image to attract people's attention, she said. "We're just trying to show people the truth," said Gordon Truscott, who is a Christian Heritage Party candidate from Guelph. The protesters target high traffic areas, so with Renfrew's main street blocked by construction, the group set up on Plaunt Street and Veterans Memorial

Boulevard. In Arnprior, they were along the top end of Daniel Street. They didn't seem to attract much response in Renfrew, but caused a mini-storm on social media with their Arnprior appearance.

JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com McNab-Braeside council has approved a special $9,000 advance to the Goshen Cemetery Board so it can build a 64-niche columbarium. Columbariums, which are usually built to house urns carrying cremated remains, are growing in popularity as cemeteries run out of space for the more traditional burials. Calling the request "very appropriate," Mayor Tom Peckett called the expenditure a "good investment for the township." He said he expected council will receive similar requests in the future. Once fully sold, the columbarium can provide profit to fund the purchase of the next unit and needed operating money to support the care and maintenance of the cemetery, chief administrative officer Lindsey Lee explained in a report

John Carter/Metroland A 64-niche columbarium is planned for the Goshen Cemetery on Caanan Road. to council. Council unanimously approved the funding from reserves at its Aug. 7 meeting. The money is to be repaid by gradually reducing the cemetery's annual grant over the next 12 years. Susan Gillan, speaking on behalf of the cemetery board at council's June 19 meeting, made the request for the amended funding. The township normally provides $1,000 annually to the Goshen Cemetery. It also provides annual funding for cemeteries in White Lake and Sand Point. Lee explained that the township helps fund the cemeteries in order to ensure they are not abandoned by their volunteer boards. If that happens the municipality would have to take them over.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines. To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products. Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities which have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term. Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants. Interested businesses must request by mail the application package for this competition before end of business day, Friday, September 14, 2018 and must quote the following information: RFP #2018-231 Kinburn Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5

RFP #2018-232 White Lake Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5

RFP #2018-238 Dunrobin Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5

Please note: An application fee of $100 must be included with your request in order to receive an application package. Make the cheque or money order payable to the LCBO only. In order to be considered for this business opportunity, applicants must submit to LCBO Purchasing a completed proposal in the required format before the closing date and time, Friday, September 28, 2018, 3 p.m. local time. Late submissions will not be accepted and will be returned unopened.

WEST NILE VIRUS CAN BE PREVENTED One of the biggest annoyances of getting outside in the summer is the pesky mosquito. The incessant buzzing followed by the sting and itchy, red welt. They are a seasonal hazard. But with the news that mosquitoes in Perth tested positive for the West Nile Virus, it's important to protect yourself and family against mosquito bites. Health units regularly monitor mosquitoes for West Nile Virus, which is spread to people through a bite from the infected insect. As part of annual maintenance, the Town of Perth had vacuumed out its catch basins in June and continue to work with the health unit on further actions. The good thing is, the chance of getting seriously ill from an infected mosquito bite isn't high. The health unit says only about 20 per cent may suffer from flu-like symptoms, which include fever, headache, rash, etc. They usually appear two to 15 days after being infect. Only less than one per cent will see the illness develop into meningitis or encephalitis and it's more likely this will take place in people 50 years or older, those with medical conditions or weakened immune systems. The good news is, there are some simple ways to safeguard yourself and your family from getting bitten at home. The type of mosquitoes most common to this area lay eggs in stagnant water, which can be found in bird baths, flower pots, gutters, wading pools or old tires. Decorative ponds are also a popular spot. It's also recommended that bushes and shrubs be kept trimmed, compost piles turned often and ditches remain free of debris or obstructions. Inside the home, make sure there are no holes in screens of windows, doors or vents, so mosquitoes can't easily gain entry. When enjoying the great outdoors, be sure to wear light coloured clothing to protect yourself. Donning long pants, shirts with long sleeves, shoes and socks during peak mosquito times can help. Protection through mosquito repellent should be applied sparingly. Be sure to use sprays that contain DEET or Icaridin. They should not be used on children under two years of age. Instead, they should be protected through netting, which should also be used when individuals sleep outdoors or in an unscreened space. "Mosquitoes do not travel very far, so those biting you around your property are likely finding suitable conditions in your yard," notes the health unit's website. If you suspect that you might have West Nile Virus, it's important to consult with your doctor. Those who have any questions can also call the health unit at 1-800465-5000 or 1-800-267-1097.

WHO WE ARE SAYING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOU READ: GRAPHIC ANTIABORTION IMAGES DISPLAYED IN RENFREW, ARNPRIOR

“This is terrible for so many reasons. Those people are ignorant! Ignorant to the fact that children should not be exposed to those photos, and the fact that they can be triggers for so many women for so many reasons. This is my problem with religion right here. How can someone who claims to be a Christian and live their life in a godly way think this is an acceptable way to spread their message.”

MAREN REA

“It’s sad that we don’t want to see the actual results of an abortion, a baby being torn apart but we’ll cry over a dog being hurt.....you say it’s your body ....but the baby has a body too.”

LAURENE CATANIA DECHERT

“This gave my 8 year old nightmares how rude are you guys she cried all night.”

NIKKI BRYDGES

“There are better ways to get your point across without being so graphic when there are young children around you are attracting the wrong attention.”

MAVIS STROUD

“Abortion whether you agree or not is the law of the land. The Supreme Court struck down the law and the government had to introduce legislation to apply the court's ruling. The same thing happened about Same sex marriage here in Canada. These people ought to get their head out of their butts and get with it.”

HEATHER PEARSON

“One question: Doesn't protesters - who are protesting on town streets/ county sidewalks have to get a permit; if so; if they have to get/pay for a permit to protest - then they had permission. In this country everyone has a right to protest unfortunately it wasn't the right the protest that was being objected to; it was the graphic picture and giving pamphlets to children that was being objected. Therefore; maybe these pro-life protesters need to change tactics. PS: not all pro-life advocates come from church affiliated organization.”

LENORE WHELAN

“How about protesting for the babies that were already saved, that are now living in poverty?”

OPINION

BE STILL, SAYS MICHAEL RUNTZ, IT'S REMARKABLE WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND MICHAEL RUNTZ Column

After my two weeks on the coast of James Bay, I was eager to visit beloved Algonquin Park. Each late August I conduct public wolf howls in Algonquin at Achray and along the Basin Depot Road out of Bonnechere Provincial Park, scouting each area before the events. Currently I'm spending two glorious weeks in lovely Bonnechere from where I drive

north into Algonquin. I love the Basin Depot Road because it passes by numerous creeks and ponds, and is seldom travelled (although this year logging trucks are making regular trips along it). On my first excursion, I arrived just before dawn at a favourite beaver pond to see a beaver inspecting its dam. After it left, I howled for wolves and to my delight an entire pack responded! In August wolves leave their pups in beaver meadows and other open areas known as rendezvous sites, bringing food to them after making a kill. After a few more ponds I reached Sligo, a historic site on the Bonnechere River. I counted 47 cedar waxwings flying from the trees and sallying over the river

and hovering about 20 metres above the water as they captured insects. Whether those were midges or small caddisflies, I couldn't tell. Groups of waxwings landed in chokecherry trees, their broken branches revealing that a black bear had previously visited them. The birds were also there for the cherries. Waxwings eat a lot of fruit and expedite the process by having a huge mouth opening (the gape) for swallowing berries whole and short intestines for efficiently dealing with the fruit internally. It takes a waxwing a mere 20 minutes after swallowing a cherry to poop out its pit. The birds seemed nervous, devouring cherries for a few minutes before flying away to taller trees, but they repeatedly

ized, then the proceeds thereof should be credited to Ontarians' electricity bills; assuming these are not already so credited. Editorially, Ontario's electricity rates are excessively high and render our businesses uncompetitive and economic development unviable and, hence, reduces job creation.

COUNCIL SHOULD WELCOME OFFER TO IMPROVE PARK IN MCNAB/BRAESIDE

Park. Reported comments by members of council seemed to search for anything negative that they could think of. For new residents or those with short memories I think it is time to publicize the work of previous township elected officials in establishing this very popular facility. The contribution of donors like Stone Consol-

idated, Miller Group Construction, M. Sullivan and Son, and several local organizations, are still evident and the facilities are enjoyed by many residents and visitors. The Knights of Columbus built several picnic tables. The names of local residents who contributed to the project and the maintenance of Braeside Beach during several Red Pine Bay festivals are too

numerous to list. This facility has potential for improvement and the offer from the Ottawa Riverkeeper should be welcomed with enthusiasm. It is regrettable that the only McNab/Braeside councillor who seemed to understand fiscal responsibility has decided not to run for re-election this year.

Michael Runtz/Submitted This Cedar Waxwing devouring Chokecherries is one year old because it lacks the name-giving red structures on its wings that appear during its third year, and doesn't have the breast streaks of a youngster hatched this year.

returned to eat cherries. I patiently stood for nearly two hours near the chokecherries to photograph the birds whenever they returned. Once I heard splashing as if an animal was wading across the Bonnechere River, which was hidden from view by dense alders. I quietly snuck down and peered through the shrubs only to see a female common merganser and her ten young scampering across the water. Later, I heard an animal moving along the far side of the river. A splash made me suspect a beaver, for there were signs of recent activity all around me. But the splashing continued, telling me it was not a beaver. Seconds passed and I heard an animal emerge on my side of the river, and soon the tall grasses and goldenrods decorating the meadow in which I stood began to part. Suddenly a wolf's head appeared about six metres from me! Obviously startled, it bolted and ran back into the alders, the

OPP INVESTIGATE MCNAB/BRAESIDE BREAK-IN ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE A White Lake Road resident returned home in the early morning hours to find a ladder leading to an open second storey window, OPP report. On Thursday, Aug. 23 at

about 1:50 a.m., police responded to the break-in in McNab/Braeside. Several areas of the home had been searched by the suspect, but nothing appears to have been stolen. An arrest warrant has been issued after similar thefts at the Arnprior and

Renfrew LCBO stores. OPP report that on Monday, Aug. 20 two women entered the Renfrew store after 11 a.m. One suspect distracted an employee while the other placed three large bottles of alcohol in a large bag. The two then paid for a small item

and left the store together in a pick-up truck. The employees were suspicious and immediately reviewed surveillance video where they observed the theft. The responding officer was able to identify one of the suspects.

the two left the store and discovered three large bottles of liquor had been stolen. They left the store in a beige Ford pick-up truck. Arnprior and Renfrew officers investigated nine domestic disputes last week. One man was charged with two counts of breach of a recognizance, and two women were charged with assault.

COMMUNITY

ARNPRIOR STUDENT WINS BURSARY FROM OPP OFFICERS DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com A hefty bursary from a police union has been awarded for the first time to an Arnprior student. The OPP Association Youth Foundation's $1,000 Y cheque is awarded to two students in the eastern Ontario region each year, and another eight students in other regions of the prov-

ince. It goes to students who graduated high school and will attend a university, college or apprenticeship program. Among this year's winners is Sydney Faour. "It's really nice to get the help and support of the community," said Faour, who will be attending teacher's college at Queen's University this Q ffall. She is the daughter of George Faour and Lisa

Macfarlane Faour. Arnprior District High School teacher Phil Moore sent out a list of bursary opportunities to students last year. That's how Faour ffound out. However, it was her winning personality, love of Arnprior, and good grades that convinced area OPP officer Craig Taylor to sponsor - and eventually award her - the bursary. "She's a great kid, really

great," Taylor said. "Sydney is from Arnprior, which is wonderful. She is involved in the community. She does a lot at the school. And she works hard at it." Taylor said the bursary has been around since the early 1990s and that more kids should know about it and apply for it. "It was started to help kids. So take advantage of it."

RCMP MUSICAL RIDE RETURNING TO RENFREW FAIR JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com Ever since the world famous RCMP Musical Ride delighted Renfrew fairgoers in 2004, fair general manager Judy Dobec has been trying to get it to return. Her persistence has paid off. The iconic Canadian attraction will perform in

front of the grandstand on Sunday, Sept. 9 at 2 p.m., the last major event of the fiveday Renfrew Fair. "We're very pleased to have the RCMP Musical Ride coming to the fair," Dobec said. "There was a tremendous response (when the ride played the 150th fair 14 years ago)." After the ride, there will

on the Renfrew Fair Grounds Due to safety concerns of all riders and exhibitors, THERE WILL ONLY BE PARKING FOR THE HANDICAP AND EXHIBITORS on Saturday or Sunday from 9am-6pm. While we recognize that this may be an inconvenience, we are doing this to ensure that none of our exhibitors are put in a risky situation between a horse and car and to also make sure that should we need an ambulance to get in quickly, this can be accomplished in a timely manner.

tacted her to ask if they could come this year. They originally wanted to come Saturday, but the fair has several horse shows already that day, so Sunday was chosen. Dobec noted that in 2004 the ride was supposed to entertain on the fair's Thursday evening, but the performance was washed out by the tail end of Hurricane Frances. So the riders rearranged their schedule so they could perform on the Sunday afternoon of the fair instead, Dobec said. "They were very accommodating." The world-renowned troop of 32 horses and riders, which is headquartered at Rockcliffe Stables in east Ottawa, will be returning from a 28-show tour of British Columbia. They will take a break before playing the Maxville Fair Saturday, Sept. 8 and Renfrew Sept. 9. The Musical Ride is also scheduled to perform at the Richmond Fair Sept. 12 before going to the U.S. for a

Every year, the Musical Ride brings its show to about 50 communities across the country with a variety of figures and drills choreographed to music. The show provides the public with an opportunity to experience the heritage and traditions of the RCMP and raise funds for local charities across Canada. The ride's horses are

trained at a breeding farm in Pakenham. The Musical Ride was developed in 1876 by early members of the North-West Mounted Police to display their riding abilities and entertain local communities. The first recorded public display of the Musical Ride was in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1901. For more on the musical ride, visit www.rcmpgrc.gc.ca/en/musical-ride.

CELEBRITY

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Rock icon Sass Jordan participated in a Q&A with Metroland Media in the lead-up to her Sept. 8 headline act at the Renfrew Fair. After multiple Canadian chart hit singles in the late '80s and early '90s, Jordan moved to a different musical stage to play the lead role in a Janis Joplin off-Broadway hit. Along with other musicals, she guest starred in TV sitcoms and reality shows.

The Juno recipient and two-time nominee is married to Derek Sharp, current lead singer of The Guess Who. We reached her on the road somewhere in northern New Brunswick. Q - What would 1980syou like most about the artist you are today? A - I would appreciate the fact that I have a sense of humor about how ridiculous the whole thing is, and that I am a 'lifestyle' artist as opposed to just a musical singularity. I would like that I am real and raw, and not manu-

factured. For an artist to really interest me now, I mean, enough to dig into the catalogue and be interested in new stuff they put out, there has to be more to them than just music. I like to have a sense of them as fellow human beings. Q - What excites you about today's music scene in Canada and/or beyond? A - I'm actually nonpartisan when it comes to music, generally. I am not motivated by imaginary geographical borders - so the nationality of the musicians is not a factor. I am

excited by the same thing I've always been excited by - great songwriting and brilliant performances, no matter what the genre. I'm continually amazed by the power of music to uplift, to inspire, to ease discomfort, and to bring people together. I think there has been far too much emphasis on separation of people through music (and everything else) for the past while, and it's time for music to be celebrated as a medium that has the potential to bring us together, again. Sadly that's not going to happen with the astounding

Spotify photo Sass Jordan plays the Renfrew Fair on Saturday, Sept. 8. She's promising a "wonderful celebration of life, of music and of community." amount of what I call 'Robot Music' that is still currently dominating the

'music scene', but there are real artists out there, here and there. I think it's always been this way. Q - What experience awaits fans at the Renfrew show? A - A real, live band of seasoned musicians that actually play and sing live for real - no extras. A wonderful celebration - of life, of music and of community - the community we create when we all come together under the auspices of a 'rock show'! Catch Sass Jordan's show Saturday night at 8 p.m. at the Renfrew Fair.

CANADIAN ICON WAYNE ROSTAD PLAYS THE RENFREW FAIR THURSDAY NIGHT SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima @metroland.com He's an Ottawa Valley favourite. There's sure to be a good crowd on hand at the Renfrew Fair Thursday night for Wayne Rostad, the main stage headliner for the evening. Rostad, a singer, songwriter, entertainer, MC, host and author, is marking his return to the Renfrew Fair. He played here in 2009 to a sizeable crowd. "Wayne is, without a doubt, one of the most commanding and compelling performers anywhere. He takes to the stage with his guitar in hand, a powerful one-man show that keeps audiences spellbound with his songs, stories, humour

and passion," says the entertainer's website. "He has that very rare and special ability to make everyone feel that he is singing for them and them alone. His television show travels have given Wayne a unique understanding and perspective of Canada and its people, making him exception-

al among Canadian entertainers." On stage, Wayne has shared billings and rubbed shoulders with many of the best entertainers in the business - Johnny Cash, Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn, the Bellamy Brothers and Emmylou Harris - and opened for such greats as Waylon Jennings and Roy Orbison. Rostad returns to the area with his Christmas in the Valley show this winter. He'll be in Pembroke on Nov. 30 and Ottawa on Dec. 3. Catch Wayne Rostad's show Thursday night at the Renfrew Fair at 8 p.m.

HUNTER BROTHERS BRING HIGH-ENERGY SHOW TO RENFREW FAIR FRIDAY SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@ metroland.com Family, hockey, music and farming. The main interests of the Hunter Brothers, the Renfrew Fair's Friday night headline act, could be that of anybody in our own small town, which is considerably larger than Shaunavon, Sask., population 1,800 where the five brothers who make up the band grew up. When Ty, Luke, J.J., Brock and Dusty weren't working the fields, the five siblings spent summers singing gospel across Canada and the U.S., while winters were for hockey, playing for the likes of Kelowna Rockets and, eventually, the Edmonton Oilers. Their single Born and Raised reached Top 10 on Canadian country radio, and was included in CBC's 100 Best Canadian Songs of 2017. Among the Hunter Brothers' musical career highlights is a run as opening act for High Valley on part of their 2018 Canadian tour and performing at big 2018 summer festivals, including Country Thunder Craven, Country Thunder Calgary, Havelock Jamboree, and more. With more than 845,000 YouTube views and four million

streams in Canada, they're no strangers to Canadian country music fans. And while they've certainly logged their fair share of big venues, Ty Hunter said the group is just as enthusiastic about smaller shows such as their upcoming Renfrew appearance. "It's really exciting, the size doesn't matter," said Ty. "Every venue offers something a bit different. You can really engage with a small audience in a way you can't with a larger one. They all hold a special place in our hearts." They've been through Ontario but this is the brothers' first visit to Renfrew. "We're very honoured to be able to play in your community," said Ty. "We don't take any of these experiences for granted. We're really looking forward to seeing everyone." Renfrew is lucky to have snagged a Hunter Brothers show, as the guys are in Ontario for the Canadian Country Music Awards in Hamilton, at which they're up for a number of honours, including: group/duo of the year, rising start, interactive artists or group of the year. Gavin Michael Booth, director of videos for both Born and Raised and Those Were the Nights, is also up for video director of the year.

"It'll be a busy time," said Ty. "We'll be in Hamilton and then driving out for the fair and then back to Hamilton." What should those coming to the show Friday night expect? "Expect the unexpected," said Ty with a laugh. "You can expect a lot of harmonies, we grew up singing together. It'll be a high en-

ergy performance with lots of crowd engagement." Does he have a favourite song to perform? "I think something really special is when we play a single that's been played on the radio," said Ty. "It's a very unique experience when all of a sudden you have people singing back to you. It's a

milestone for any artist." To date, the Hunter Brothers have won two 2017 SCMA Awards, for Group of the Year and Emerging Artist Award, and were nominated for three others. They were nominated for 2017 CCMA Award for Interactive Artist of the Year. The group released their debut album Getaway in March 2017, which peaked at #1 on iTunes Canada's country album charts Their online video parody, Combine Got Stuck, reached 1.3 million views in two days organically. The Hunter Brothers will hit the main stage at 8 p.m. Friday night, Sept. 7, at the Renfrew Fair.

FIREFIGHTERS PLANT MEMORIAL GARDEN AT WHITE LAKE JOHN CARTER john.car ter@metroland.com One of the first things visitors to the scenic Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens see now as they enter the site is a new memorial garden. The garden, the work of the McNab-Braeside Firefighters Association, is a place of reflection for firefighters and their families as well as the public. The firefighters chose the Waba museum area in White Lake for their memorial garden, explaining that it is "such a beautiful place" and "we want to contribute to it." The firefighters planted and landscaped the garden at a work bee in July the week before Herbfest. Many of the plants and

The garden was put together in partnership with the Milliken Garden Centre, which provided the plants and materials for the project.

The firefighters association also thanks Arnprior Home Hardware, the Township of McNab/Braeside staff, Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens volunteers, Gilks Signs and Trophies, and its own members for helping to make the memorial garden a reality.

Derek Dunn/Metroland Stephen Dodd has a Terry Fox Run information table set up at Robert Simpson Park during Canada Day. Traditionally taking place at the former harness race track on the fairgrounds, now that the property is sold, the run will take place at Robert Simpson Park and area this Sept 16.

The store is quite unique with its unusual décor including a collection of one hundred and forty-one vintage hats. This store is 5000 square feet and filled with a huge selection of inventory.

NEGI FAMILY BRINGS BEST INDIAN CUISINE AROUND TO TOWN DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com It just doesn't seem plausible that of the best Indian restaurants in eastern Ontario and even beyond, could be located in little old Arnprior. Yet that is what many who have eaten their share of traditional Indian food keep saying. Well, Negi Indian Cuisine had to open somewhere. My wife and I paid a recent visit to the Madawaska Street spot that celebrated its grand opening last December. Less than a year old; can that be? Inside the smallish space, bright colours splash and classic Indian music plays softly. Mains arrived for a nearby table, takeout customers came and went with some frequency. Owners Kanda and Manny Negi would also come and go with plenty to do but never appearing stressed

and always ready for a chat. Cold bottles of foreign beer arrive while we snap off pieces of papadum to dip in a tasty red sauce. I save my drink for the main course. There's a reason most British pubs have curry on the menu. At one point Kanda hears a confession about drippings on her linen tablecloth. "That's OK," she says, smiling brightly. "I'll give it you to dry clean." The food arrives within a reasonable time frame. Chicken tikka masala and palak lamb. Both were stunning, as always. The sauces at Negi are deeply layered and complicated, with flavours that unfold on the palate like an orchestra of butterfly wings. And they always go great with mango chutney. No kidding. It sounds too sweet and looks like a tiny bowl of applesauce, but chutneys are crucial to Indian cuisine. Normally I prefer pickled

LUMBERTOWN'S ELK BURGER WOULD SATISFY A LOGGER DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@ metroland.com Derek Dunn/Metroland Arnprior is home to one of the best Indian restaurants in the region. Why? Maybe because it's a great place to raise a young family. lime. It was only because Negi was out that I opted for the mango. It makes for a perfect combination with spicy food, as complementary as port and Stilton cheese. Following dinner, Manny came around with his infant son in hand. It's his place, so if he decides to show off his pride and joy you will go with it. Each and every person in the room got to meet the youngest Negi. Perhaps that offers some insight into why Manny, whom I consider a master chef, a deft craftsman who insists on quality ingredients and exacting execution, chose Arnprior. He isn't the first to say it will make a fine town to raise a family.

It is physically impossible to drive down John Street in Arnprior, glare at all those diners enjoying the good life at Lumbertown Ale House, and not harbour resentment in the mid-extreme. Who's supposed to drive and work and pay taxes. Taxes! Evidently the only cure is to join them grab a table, people-watch a bit, check out the menu. Surprising how quickly it disperses any lingering jealousy. Halfway through the first flight of beer - the server cleverly jots down the name next to each you're tipping a glass to the passing cars. The smugness at a minimum, though it is a craft beer. Ashton, or maybe White Water Brewing. I ate an elk for the first time. Not the whole thing just a tasty part of the butt. The elk, who grew up in Carp, fit nicely into a soft and not-too-buttery

Derek Dunn/Metroland Beer and a burger - a fine combo at Lumbertown Ale House in Arnprior. Just like a logger in days gone by would have wanted it. brioche bun. The onions were al dente, which I understand is not a thing, but I'm making a thing just because mine are always too mushy or squeak against the teeth. The bar-

becue sauce was best of all - très zesty. There was no plan to eat a Carp elk. Plenty of stuff on the menu would have worked; it was difficult to pass over the prosciutto arugula. But elk's lean, similar to turkey, and came with a salad and tasty vinaigrette. (A tablespoon too much sauce for me, though maybe not for others.) A sweet little surprise was the vegetable cut. Kind of old school tiny boxes. Not julienne. Not matchstick. More along the lines of how lumbermen back in the day would have wanted their vegetables. Slightly cagey and full of points. With a massive pickle nearby. Lumbertown is a place craving history. It almost wants to get scuffed up a bit. Keep putting out a smart selection of beers and menu using quality ingredients, Lumbertown, and history will have your back.

OPINION

RIDING WITH GRAMPA WAS ALWAYS A BUMPY RIDE EARL LEARNED A RUMBLE SEAT LESSON ON NORTHCOTE ROAD, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

It wasn't the first time we lost my brother Earl out of the rumble seat of Grampa's car. The first time, it was Emerson's fault. Wrestling in the rumble seat for the best position, much bigger than Earl, Emerson gave him a mighty push, and like a loon diving into a lake, Earl went sailing into the ditch on the Northcote Side Road. But this time, it was

Earl's fault, plain and simple. Every time Grampa came from Ottawa, we five kids had to have a ride in his rumble seat car. My sister Audrey and I were content to sit in the front with Grampa, listening to his tales of Ottawa where he lawnbowled, played golf and ate at Bowles Lunch. The day that Earl took the second dive was entirely his fault. The three brothers had climbed into the back, and Earl decided he would sit on the outside of the seat, with his back against the window that separated the rumble seat from the

front of the car. Audrey kept rapping on the window, making mad gestures at Earl, trying to get him to sit down in the hole, but of course, he couldn't see her with his back to the glass. The Northcote Road was full of holes and ruts, which should have slowed down Grampa, but he seemed to get special delight in hitting every one of them, as we bounced along at a good clip. We tore past Briscoe's General Store like a bolt of lightning, my teeth chattering from the rough ride with my eyes glued to the road. It was Audrey who saw the whole performance in the rumble seat, and she almost caused Grampa to leave the road when she grabbed his arm and told

him to stop the car, we had lost Earl. Grampa never eased the gas a fraction, and simply said, "We'll pick him up on the way back." I started to cry, wondering if Earl was laying dead in the ditch, or at the very least had broken his legs ... both of them. But Grampa didn't seem to be the least concerned. I turned in the seat, and there were Emerson and Everett, as calm as you please, as if we lost a sibling every day while driving in Grampa's rumble seat car. Their hair was flaying all over their faces, and they were grinning like they had just been given a dollar. They didn't seem to have a care in the world. Just before we came to that part of the Northcote Side Road, before the last long stretch into Renfrew, where we left the gravel, and the road turned into cement, Grampa, looking neither left nor right to see if any other cars were coming, pulled a U-turn and head-

ed back home. Halfway to Briscoe's General Store, there was Earl standing on the side of the road waving frantically with one of his running shoes in his hand. Grampa ground to a halt, Earl climbed into the back and slid right down into the very depths of the hole. It looked like he wasn't going to take any more chances of diving into the ditch. Mother didn't even ask Earl how he got a scraped knee. She was more interested in the green grass stain on his good Sunday shirt. She did get out the iodine and dabbed the cut and ordered him to go upstairs and change his clothes. Earl limped around a

bit, but didn't seem to have any injuries other than the skinned knee. He did say though, the iodine hurt a lot more than the scrape he got when he nosedived into the ditch out of Grampa's rumble seat car along the Northcote Side Road.

BUSINESS

SHERRY HAAIMA sherr y.haaima@ metroland.com Effective Sept. 1, one of Arnprior's oldest businesses is welcoming a new addition. Mulvihill and Murray, established in 1926, will see Damien Fannon join the team and both he and Scott Murray are excited about the development. Born and raised in Ireland, Fannon earned his law degree from the University of Ireland Galway. In 2013, he moved to Ottawa to take the LLM program specializing in international trade and foreign investment at the University of Ottawa. ?? Fannon has experience providing advice and representation in a variety of areas, including family law and civil litigation. "Predominantly I've been working in litigation up until now, including family law," he said. "I am going to be getting more in-

volved with real estate and estates in general." Murray has been a lawyer with the firm since 1980 and sole practitioner since 1986. He's pleased to welcome Fannon. "The long-term objective is that he will be taking over the practice in its entirety over a period of time," said Murray, "and I will be gradually reducing my involvement to the point where I will retire." The move is about planning for the future. "You've got to do these kinds of things while one is still healthy, because if you leave it until that's not the case then there's a crisis," Murray said. "I have made it very clear to all of my clients that their interests will be appropriately looked after when I can no longer practice." Fannon now lives near Calabogie with his wife, a medical resident at the Renfrew Hospital. The couple is expecting their second child this fall.

Both are used to small town living and welcomed the opportunity to live and work in the Ottawa Valley. "When we heard that this was an option, I was all over it," said Fannon. "I'm very much looking forward to coming out and meeting people from the town and surrounding areas and getting involved in the various organizations." He had been practicing in Ottawa at a mediumsized firm until starting up his own practice in March. He didn't immediately have his eye on a law career. "Back home, my family background is farming and construction," said Fannon. "I was pretty much a carpenter and heavy machine operator for my teens and my early twenties and then I had enough sense to go back to school." And while his career and family life keeps him busy, he's got a wide array of interests. In the summer, he plays

Gaelic football with the Ottawa Gaels. In winter, he plays hockey, as a goalie. "I try to immerse myself in Canadian culture," said Fannon. "I saw ice for the first time three years ago." He's also a big Ottawa Senators fan and enjoys going to games. Along with sports, Fannon's love of film is evident. "I have a big passion as I think most Irish do, in telling stories - so I just tell them visually rather than on a piece of paper," he said, noting he's a cofounder of the Irish Film Festival in Ottawa. He's also fond of shooting his own films. "I shoot my own short films around Ottawa and will be on CBC in September," he said. The public broadcasting station actually flew him to Halifax in August and his was one of nine films chosen in a short film faceoff. Mulvihill and Murray is located at 86 John St. North in Arnprior.

We are all made of star stuff, and when the Macnamara Club meets on Sept. 4, The Backyard Astronomer, Gary Boyle, will explain the how and why. Boyle's fascination with the wonders of the night sky began when he was eight years old. Now a seasoned astronomy educator, public speaker and monthly columnist for the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, he demonstrates and explains how "it is a magical place for all to witness, study and enjoy." Today's technology and study have opened new

chapters in the understanding of the cosmos and how things work, Boyle notes. New "pages," like the recent Mars Express Orbiter discovery of a reservoir of water under the Martian south pole catch the interest of the everyday person, as well as science enthusiasts and scholars. This discovery is tantalizing, in that a stable, saltwater body is precisely where life first developed and was nurtured on Earth, says NASA Spacelife.com, a source of space-related news. Boyle's presentation will take us back in time to demonstrate how life began from the cosmos billions of years

ago and will explain the saying, "We are all make of star stuff." Star-struck As a child, parent or grandparent, you'll likely remember Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, the classic children's rhyme from the 1800s, spanning the years with the wonder that is the shining star "up above the world so high." I know I do. Stars of the night sky have captivated, inspired and guided humans from the earliest civilizations, onward. But how they have contributed the very fabric of our existence is less known. Boyle brings together the

Monthly "star parties" offer close-tohome public observation viewings at sunset near the Carp library. While telescopes are a standard, apps and even binoculars also aid discovery.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

SUDOKU

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 If you want to get out and see the sights, you have to plan an excursion, Aries. Start planning a vacation and don’t forget to invite a pal along for the trip.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, indecisiveness may cost you in the days ahead. Try to come to a decision on an important situation so you can begin moving forward once again.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Do not be quick to accept the word “no,” Taurus. If you are seeking a promotion, it may take another round of negotiations to sell your position to a supervisor.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Sometimes you don’t see the purpose behind certain actions, Scorpio. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to clear things up. Forge ahead and things will become clearer.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some things are at play and you may need to gather some facts. Don’t try to piece things together, but rather start at the beginning and get a comprehensive view.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sooner or later, if you try different things you are bound to stumble on the right course of action, Sagittarius. It just may take longer than you initially expected.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You have to hunker down and work through tasks that hold little interest for you, Cancer. Success comes from tending to all of the details, even those that are less interesting.

Thursday, September 6th, 2018

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Don’t worry if you cannot get your act together just yet, Capricorn. You will find your groove soon enough and everything will ultimately fall in place.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Plenty of opportunities to make big changes are on the horizon, Leo. You need to figure out what it is you want to do with yourself and where to make change.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Some things can’t be avoided forever, Aquarius. If you feel like you are running away from problems or things you don’t like, you may need to confront them.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, sit quietly aside and let others talk while you listen. Listening can be a great way to learn about others as well as yourself. Use this time wisely.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Funny things happen when you least expect them, Pisces. Just when you may have thought a situation was dire, some fun will change your opinion. 0830

GARBAGE / RECYCLING COLLECTION Labour Day – September 3, 2018 There will be NO changes to the garbage and recycling collection during the week of September 3, 2018.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING ALMONTE WARD Tuesday, September 4th, 2018 to Friday, October 19th, 2018 During the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. (excluding weekends) This annual maintenance program is designed to remove the sediment that has accumulated in the water mains to maintain good water quality in the distribution system. This maintenance procedure is required under the Provincial Legislation and may result in temporary inconveniences to you such as reduced water pressure or red (discoloured) water. • Reduced water pressure should only be intermittent as the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is completed. • If you detect discoloured (red) water, turn off your tap for 20 to 30 minutes; this should allow work crews enough time to complete the flushing. When work crews have left the area, turn on one COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush the system. • Discoloured water may occur in close proximity to the watermain flushing or many blocks, even kilometres away, depending on various factors such as their supply main size, location and demand flows. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location and extent of the customers that may receive discoloured water. • Residents who live in the areas being flushed may want to collect containers of water for drinking and cooking, each day before the flushing program starts. • We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with red water. We appreciate your patience while this work is being completed. For more information, please call the Roads & Public Works Department at 613-256-2064 and speak to Rod Cameron ext. 232 or Cindy Hartwick ext. 258.
