FAIR, FESTIVAL

It’s gearing up to be an exciting August in Arnprior with plans for the Arnprior Fair and White Pine Festival in high gear. 12, 15

A potentially record-breaking heat wave is raising concerns there could be an encore this week of Sunday’s destructive wind and lightning storm. It is also prompting health officials to urge people, especially seniors, to take steps to protect themselves against the high heat and humidity. With the temperature predicted to hit 37C today (Thursday), there is the potential of a repeat of the severe thunderstorm that overturned trees, knocked out power and flattened the main stage at Bluesfest Sunday evening. The cottagers of Marshall’s Bay, down river from Arnprior in the Galetta area, were particularly hard hit Sunday. “I haven’t seen anything like it,” said Hydro One’s Paul Murphy, who was called in to help restore power to the stricken area. “It looked like a bomb went off.” There were also trees uprooted in several Arnprior area properties, including a 35-year-old weeping willow at Gail Parsons’ home at the end of Moore Photo by John Carter Street in McNab-Braeside. Gail Parsons is dwarfed by the large weeping willow tree that Sunday’s violent storm uprooted on her lawn on Moore Street in McNab-Braeside. It was one of many trees See ‘HEAT’, Page 4 brought down in the strong winds that evening. For more, see Page 4.

the land on Russett Drive near the intersection of highways 17 and 508. “It’s a gorgeous property, the Dochart Creek runs right through it,” said Campbell. “It’s a valuable property with its proximity to 17 and the future Glasgow Station turnoff on 17. It’s in the township’s best interest to capture that investment while we can. ”

A notorious undertow on the Mississippi River below the five-span bridge in Pakenham has claimed another victim. Michael Walsh of Arnprior drowned Sunday after he slipped off a rock on the northeast side of the river. The 52-year-old was on a family outing.

Kemptville volunteers suggest luring cyclists, canoers DEREK DUNN

The main attractions for a return visit included Our Place in the Prior, The Gallery Gift Shop, and Simply Elegant. However, they declined comment on whether boxstores should be welcomed or resisted, and questioned if the downtown was an appropriate location for a new nightclub (Exciters, above Steve and Denis’ restaurant). The group also noted the downtown business organization “could do more.” On the other hand, they liked seeing a sewing shop prominently featured and the excellent window displays. A downtown grocery store along the lines of Farm Boy would be welcome, as would be a hardware store, shoe store and Tim Hortons, they said, along with heritage murals.

CORRECTION Arnprior Mayor David Reid supported keeping the bi-weekly pickup in part because a survey showed 222 of 284 participants supported the current service/cost levels, or 80 per cent. In the July 14 issue, in the story ‘Weekly garbage pickup starts in Arnprior Aug. 1’ it was incorrectly stated that 22 supported it. The Chronicle-Guide regrets any confusion that may have followed.

Ecotourism, new signs and public spaces linking the downtown with the waterfront were among the topics raised by a volunteer group of secret tourists to Arnprior. The First Impressions Community Exchange program, which saw a handful of Kemptville residents visit Arnprior and vice versa, released its findings at a public meeting held July 14 at Legion Branch 174. Surprised to find Arnprior is a town of two rivers, the group suggested promoting it to cyclists from Ottawa who already tour West Carleton and boaters, anglers, kayakers, and especially canoers since the Madawaska River is a hub for them already. And the town should try to attract a voyageur canoe company. The group also marveled at the walkability of downtown, saying the wide streets and sidewalks, along with a beach and the beauty of Robert Simpson Park, made for a foundation to promote Arnprior as a pro-green destination. A suggestion that included an architectural drawing was to lay grass and park benches along the semi-circle at the corner of John and Madawaska streets. The Ice Shack could be upgraded and a tourism booth set beside it. However, the property is privately owned. Another suggestion with a drawing by retired architect Don Munz included park benches overlooking the island and falls at the Madawaska Bridge. He also suggested public washrooms, possibly shops and more development near the marina. ( Town staff suggested it would be expensive for the town to provide services such as water and sewage, therefore, are not considering the latter idea for at least a decade.) “When you’ve grown up with it, it’s not a big deal,” Munz said of the falls. “It seems to be a potential big draw.” Munz insisted a clear link be made between the downtown core and waterfront, likely through Hydro Park. The water should have coloured lights focused on it. He also said Arnprior is fortunate it is in a grid format. “This is incredible because you have a lot of opportunities,” he said. “It (Hydro Park) is an extension of the downtown. It needs to be featured and advertised.” Advertising includes signage, of which the group was less than enthused. While the flags on Madawaska Boulevard were impressive, others signs were understated and outdated.

Two suggestions to improve Arnprior include adding public washrooms, change rooms and possibly cafes and other shops near the sewage treatment plant along the waterfront. The bottom illustration shows the corner of Madawaska and John streets with major improvements, including a tourist information booth next to the Ice Shack. The Kemptville visitors insists this corner is a crucial hub for tourists, even though many locals probably think little of it.

Things to work on... Arnprior’s five biggest challenges, according to the Kemptville visitors: • Physician and nursing shortage; • Youth retention and attraction; • Box store competition; • Community vision, balanced growth, identifying who you are (bedroom community, self sustaining, combination?) And who you want to be; • Being investment ready through product development, friendly and open for business and knowing who and what you want to attract - building relationships and key partnerships.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY The group was impressed by how friendly, knowledgeable and willing to promote each other the downtown mer-

chants were. They enjoyed seeing facades that have kept their original integrity. They also were surprised to learn of the town’s sophisticated industries and handy airport.

Heat could bring another violent storm Wind uproots willow

Continued from front Four large ash trees were reported downed in the Mulvihill Crescent area of Arnprior along the Madawaska River. After a sweltering day, the sudden arrival through the Upper Ottawa Valley of a cold front created winds of greater than 100 km-h. Sunday’s storm, which was particularly violent along the Ottawa River, took many people by surprise, as it had been predicted to arrive about midnight, not 7 p.m. In the Shawville area, it was reported a cat died when picked up and tossed about by the wild winds. The storms caused power outages to more than 35,000 Hydro One customers in central and eastern Ontario. In some rural areas of Lanark County, power wasn’t restored until Tuesday afternoon. For the most up-to-date information, Hydro One is asking customers to visit www.HydroOne. com or call the Power Outage and Emergency Line at 1-800-4341235. Hydro One also strongly urges people to take extra precaution near fallen power lines. “Even if a fallen wire seems dead, it can be dangerous. People are urged to report to Hydro One the location of the fallen wires as soon as possible. Touching a vehicle that is in contact with a power line can be fatal.” Mississippi Mills fire chief Art Brown reports his crews had a busy Sunday. Two big trees blew down in the powerful wind, blocking County Road 16 for a time. Power lines were also knocked down on Quarry Road and the Montgomery area. Firefighters were also called to a motorcycle crash in Clayton and to help rescue a two-year-old who had accidently been left in a running car by a parent. Brown warned that today (Thursday) could be another busy day. “If we get the extreme weather they’re predicting, look out,” he said. PINE TREES DOWNED Murphy said surprisingly only one power-outage call was received by Hydro One from Marshall’s Bay. So when he went in Tuesday morning with a crew from Guelph, he was shocked to find the extent of the damage. Many large white pine trees were either snapped off or uprooted. The crew had to cut through the debris on the road to access the area. With several other crews called into to help, Hydro One had power restored to the area by late afternoon Tuesday, to the amazement of residents. When the Hydro One crews fi-

nally left, there was a convoy of about 15 to 20 trucks departing from the small riverside cottage community. With the road opened, local councillor Eli El-Chantiry and MP Gordon O’Connor toured the area Tuesday. The residents are appealing to the City of Ottawa and the federal government for emergency funding to repair the extensive damage. Hydro One also had to deal with four hydro poles snapped off on Galetta Side Road. The winds also reportedly blew down a covered shelter at the Dean farm, which lost a silo last year. Another farm structure was blown over near the corner of Dwyer Hill and Galetta Side roads. STAGE TOPPLED

The same violent storm toppled the largest stage at Bluesfest Sunday, injuring at least five people, one seriously. The storm with wind gusts of more than 100 km-h struck just before 7:30 p.m. on the last day of Bluesfest, prematurely ending the festival. Headliners Cheap Trick were about 20 minutes into their set, playing on the MBNA stage, when the sky to the north suddenly blackened. Many watching Cheap Trick were unaware of the storm gathering behind them, when other festival-goers began to move towards shelter in response to the lightning and rain moving toward them. That is, until a ferocious wind blew in from the river, stripping leaves and limbs from trees, overturning chairs and other smaller items, and kicking up a dust storm. Cheap Trick had just finished it biggest hit, I Want You to Want Me, when the MBNA stage suddenly started to sway in the wind. Fortunately for the audience, the gusts blew the stage backwards away from them. When it crashed to the ground, at least five people were injured. Three men were taken to hospital, including one who received life-threatening injuries when he was punctured by flying debris. The Cheap Trick band members managed to escape injury, although it was a close call. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who had presented the original Bluesfest board members with certificates of appreciation on the stage just prior to the Cheap Trick concert, was apparently still in the area, but escaped unscathed. The violent wind and sudden destruction of the stage stunned the large audience. A few rabble-rousers start cheering briefly before realiz-

ing just how serious the situation had become with the winds threatening other structures and the lightning moving closer. However, the main element discouraging the more adventuresome in the crowd from heading to the rubble was the torrential downpour that quickly followed the wind. The large crowd started rushing to the exits to escape the nature’s wrath. Some found refuge in and around the War Museum, while others scurried to their cars or buses. Bus drivers hurried people aboard, fare or no fare, telling them “we have to get you out of here.” Within minutes, police, fire and ambulance were rushing to the scene and Bluesfest officials called an end to the evening’s activities and ordered the grounds vacated. Among the entertainers cancelled were guitarist Joe Satriani, Galactic and Death Cab for Cutie. HEAT WARNING Meanwhile, area health units upgraded their heat alerts issued last Friday to a warning Tuesday. The health unit warns the extreme heat and humidity could potentially cause dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and, in some cases, death. While everyone is at risk, the release states, those in greatest danger include the elderly, people with chronic illness, infants and young children, and those involved in physical activity or strenuous work for prolonged periods. The health unit is urging the public to check on neighbours, friends or others they know who may be at greater risk from the heat. Several precautions are also advised, including: not to leave children, pets or adults in parked cars; drink plenty of water and pure fruit juices; avoid alcohol, coffee and cola; wear a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors; keep window shades and drapes drawn; cool down at a local pool, in a cool shower, or airconditioned space; and avoid eating heavy meals and using your oven. If you experience the following symptoms, you are advised to seek medical help: nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, rapid or difficult breathing, severe headache or confusion, convulsion and fever. For more information on how to protect your health, visit www. healthunit.org. For specific questions on your health in extreme heat, call the Health ACTION Line at 1-800660-5853.

Gail Parsons has watched the weeping willow in the centre of her lawn grow strong and tall for the past 35 years. In one violent burst Sunday evening, the mighty tree was no more. “It was my baby,” lamented Parsons. Parsons planted the willow from a small sprig in the 1970s on her property at the River Road end of Moore Street in McNabBraeside. She heard the roar of the winds rush through about 7 p.m. Sunday. After the storm had subsided, she went outside to find the willow uprooted and branches torn off some of her pine trees. Her tree was one of many victims of the storm. The winds also caused problems in Gillies Grove, Gail Parsons lost her beloved weeping with at least one path willow in Sunday’s wind storm. blocked by downed trees.

A large sign warns of the dangers of the fast-flowing waters of the Mississippi River below the Five Span Bridge in Pakenham.

August 5th

Undertow dangerous: fire chief Continued from front Several people have died on that stretch of the river, although it has been about six years since the last drowning, that of a fisherman who fell out of his canoe. Witnesses told police that Walsh slipped into the fast moving water and did not resurface. He apparently had gone into the water to retrieve a shoe or sandal that had fallen into the river. His body was recovered by fire department personnel with no vital signs. He was rushed to Arnprior District Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Mississippi Mills fire Chief Art Brown said the rocks along the river below the bridge tend to be fungus-covered and slippery. The water drops off quickly below the rapids and is very deep in the area where there was once a mill, he said. Making the area particularly dangerous is the strong undertow below the rapids. An undertow, no-swimming warning is broadcast on a large sign easily seen from a parking area on the northeast end of the bridge. However, despite the warning and past mishaps, it’s a popular picnicking spot. A couple of hours after the drowning there were several people in and along the river, including pair cooling off in the rapids just above the drop-off. People shouldn’t be swimming in that part of the river, said Brown, noting there have been several drownings in that area. While it looks placid, the Mississippi River “can be very dangerous,” he added. VICTIM WELL-KNOWN Walsh, 52, was a millwright at Nylene Canada plant in Arnprior. A former member of local band The Heartbeats, Walsh was known for his love of music and skills on the bass guitar. He loved hockey, playing with the Arnprior Oldtimers Hockey Club, and among the many friends he leaves behind are those who played with and against him. Arnprior recreation director Glenn Arthur, who used to played against Walsh frequently and knew him casually as a

His presence will be missed at the arena and in the community, he added. Walsh is the son of Frank and Inge Walsh of Carp and Dorothy Walsh of Halifax and is survived by spouse Sylvia Tomala and his children Christopher, 25, and Melissa, 22. They were with him when the accident happened. Visitation was scheduled for the Pilon Funeral Home in Arnprior on Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon and evening (6 to 6:45 p.m.) and the funeral will be held Thursday evening at 7 p.m. In his memory, donations for ‘Hockey for Heart’ are being accepted.

McNab-Braeside

SHERRY HAAIMA

It wasn’t an easy process, but McNabBraeside’s updated noise bylaw is in place. It was a project that started earlier this year, stemming from continual concerns from neighbours of the The Miller Group’s Braeside Quarry and a need to update the old bylaw. “We’re all a little nervous, it’s been a difficult bylaw,” said Campbell. The bylaw, available in its entirety on the township website, is a lengthy document that outlines the restrictions for different kinds of noise at various times of the day. In general, noise restrictions are in place on statutory holidays and between 9 p.m. Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday, and between 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. the rest of the week. Council hosted a special meeting on Monday with representatives from The Miller Group, whose Braeside Quarry is

located in the township, to address questions and concerns about the proposed bylaw. Miller’s had asked for changes to the wording in the bylaw, to most of which the township, including their legal representative Janet Bradley, took no exception. The company had also asked for a provision stating the township would consider exemptions to the bylaw on a case-by-case basis. All exemption requests will be treated equally, said Campbell. Changes to the document following the meeting were minimal, she said. “There’s nothing Miller’s put forward that ended up being changed,” said Campbell Tuesday night. She commended township CAO Noreen Mellema for her extensive work on the bylaw and encouraged council to seriously consider the issue. “We want to get to a place where we’re protecting our rural lifestyle but still allowing a company to function,” said Campbell.

Retirement housing one option for land

Continued from front While researching options to make the township’s municipal office more accessible as required by provincial legislation, explained Campbell, it became clear the costs would add up quickly and when the opportunity arose to acquire the property from the Perneel family, it was too good to pass up. “In comparing whether to renovate this building versus acquiring property for a new building the opportunity came up to acquire 92 acres,” Campbell explained. The property includes what is described as a “substantial” building. It was purchased at a cost of $324,000. Campbell said potential uses include a new municipal office that can provide accessible public services to the community. “The other possibility for this … is retirement housing or any other community service and we’re looking for public input,” said Campbell. There are recreation and park opportunities for the property and council is

eager to hear any other ideas yet to come forward, she added. Campbell indicated the township would be looking for partnership opportunity and would be looking to access grant money to go forward on any plans for the land. “There’s recreation money, health money, supported living money for retirement building,” said Campbell. “And now it’s up the public to come back with some good ideas.” Growth patterns will also be considered as council plans for the use of the property. “We have to look at our growth patterns over the next couple of years because we want to contain this expense within the growth of the township tax base,” said Campbell. Council discussed the issue in a closed session Monday at the township office. Residents are invited to comment, make suggestions and submit proposals for acquisition or partnered projects in writing by letter or email info@mcnabbraeside. com.

Pull plug on hydro HST It took a powerful summertime storm whose aftermath left many without hydro to once again demonstrate that electricity is a vital, necessary component of modern-day society. As such, it should not be subject to the GST or HST or whatever you want to call that consumption tax that is omnipresent in today’s society. Many in the rural areas in and around Arnprior found themselves without hydro as a result of the severe wind storm which roared through the Upper Ottawa Valley area Sunday about 7 p.m. Indeed, as we know, this storm caused destruction far and wide, from many large pine trees down in Marshall’s Bay to a destroyed main stage at Bluesfest (thankfully with few injuries for such a catastrophe) to thousands cut off from their hydro supply. In this area, some lost their hydro for only seconds; others for up to two days. Without hydro, you soon come to the realization that modern life as we know it virtually grinds to a halt. If this is not the definition of necessity, we don’t know what is. There is no GST or HST on food because it is regarded as a necessity. The same should apply to electricity. Just why we put up with having this consumption tax applied to what is so very obviously a necessity in today’s modern life is beyond us. Surely the Ice Storm of 1998, now over a decade back in our memories, showed us all that electricity is a paramount requirement for today’s lifestyle. This is even more the case for those in rural areas. When hydro goes, so does the well water pump. No water. And, for some reason, the unavailability of water seems to be a signal to the human bladder – time to get active. So hydro is doubly important in a rural setting. And yet governments continue to impose a tax on this all-important, we would claim, necessity in today’s world. This is not right and should be changed. There is a provincial election coming up. The provincial government can correct this injustice. Make sure that when a candidate, from whatever party, approaches you, point out that hydro is a necessity in today’s world. And if something is necessary, it should not be the subject of a consumption tax. It’s that simple. Our politicians should take action to remove it from our hydro bills.

Summer storms not new to Arnprior Arnprior history buff Doug Scheels submitted the following look back into the past from the Eganville Leader, noting that severe summer weather in this area isn’t new. It was entitled ‘Damage at Arnprior’, was datelined Arnprior July 10, and originally ran July 17, 1936. A severe electrical storm accompanied by a high wind struck here about 9 o’clock this evening and levelled about 75 giant elm and maple trees in various sections in the town. In addition to a sign approximately 10 feet high and about 10 feet long, which was on top of the Kenwood Mills Limited, was blown to the ground and broken into kindling wood. It was during the height of the storm, which lasted for three-quarters of an hour, that the large sign was torn from its place.

Temporary asphalt plant not an asset to the township To the editor: Most of us love the summer! It brings heat, sunshine, holidays and relaxation. It also brings construction – like the 417 Arnprior bypass. We all know what that means: aggregate, concrete, steel and asphalt. Let’s talk about asphalt, because that is the material impacting neighbours of the Braeside quarry. The quarry operates a temporary asphalt plant, moved here for a specific job then moved out again. It can be brought in over and over again for one year durations, as it has been for three years. This plant is old, really old, 25 to 30 years old. When the wind blows in the right direction or the temperature of the asphalt is too high, there is a lot of odour - noxious, nauseating, not nice odour. Big deal, you say? What’s a little smell? Well, an odour is defined as a chemical spill, a brew of carcinogens and poisonous, nasty compounds. What can be tolerated for 10 minutes quickly becomes obnoxious when you have to smell it hour after hour, after hour. What about the noise pollution? Some neighbours report being woken by noise in the morning; noise that can continue all day, into the evening

People have suffered adverse effects: nausea, migraines, sore throat, burning eyes, shortness of breath – you get the picture. You stay inside, you keep your windows closed. Forget enjoying the barbeque or pool with friends. Sometimes, residents think they have to put up with a lot because: · big industry pays high taxes; less burden on the rest of us; · this temporary asphalt plant employs many people in the Township of McNab-Braeside; · the Township gets fees for the aggregate produced; that money paves our roads. Not so! Sources indicate that this quarry pays less in taxes than do many people with lovely new homes, about $3,500. This company employs three people from the township: one drives a truck, one works in the Arnprior shop, one in the quarry. A roof truss business next door to the quarry employs five people from the township! Our municipality gets six cents a tonne for aggregate produced and hauled out of this quarry. Rural municipalities all over Ontario are complaining that aggregate is

Traffic ticket enforcement to grow teeth in new year About $220,000 in lost revenue due to unpaid tickets DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Arnprior is updating its traffic ticket system to end a practice that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Since 1989, the town’s traffic bylaw enforcement had the power to issue parking and other vehicle-related tickets. In recent years it has issued between 1,000 and 1,200 tickets a year, many for $30. However, only about 65 to 70 per cent were paid. The rest of the offenders, perhaps knowing the town doesn’t have the manpower to collect nor the proper system in place to penalize further, have not paid. The loss to taxpayers is about $220,000.

Mayor David Reid was made aware many of the town’s bylaws are “outdated” soon after winning last fall’s election, which is why the new council set up an advisory committee to add teeth to bylaws. Although the issue wasn’t raised directly during the July 11 council meeting dealing with a new traffic bylaw report, which was sent back for further clarification, Reid said Monday the process must be corrected. “When you have bylaws and don’t enforce them, why bother having them,” he said. Traffic enforcement bylaw officer Jim McBain said the town will adopt part two of the provincial offences act, much as other neighbouring municipalities (except Renfrew) have done, in order to track offenders.

If, for example, a $30 ticket is paid within 15 days, the offender only has to pay $15. If not, most municipalities issue a notice in the mail. If the $30 is not paid or the option to fight it in court is not taken, the offender is convicted in a trial. A letter is then sent to the provincial ministry responsible for drivers’ licences saying the offender must pay $50 before they can renew their licence. But not in Arnprior and Renfrew. However, the new system should be in place in Arnprior by December or January, McBain said, following an awareness campaign in September, October and November. Ticket prices aren’t expected to increase. He added efforts are currently made to compel people to pay since he took

over traffic enforcement in 2004. “It’s difficult for us to enforce it, but we do,” McBain said. “There is no double standard. We attempt to collect from everyone.” He noted vehicles facing a ticket are researched, and if they have two or more previous violations the car is towed. The County of Renfrew has met with some success in getting offenders as far back as the 1970s to pay up. McBain said he is unaware of the program, but if it can be replicated in Arnprior he will recommend council consider it. MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT Town clerk Jacquie Farrow-Lawrence said the updated bylaw will contain language that better reflects the legislation and cleans up the main amendments made over the years. A second major effect will affect people who park in the 85-spot municipal lot behind Shoppers Drug Mart. It is temporary parking, but some people who live in John Street apartments and elsewhere are parking there all night long. Council wants the lot open from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Bi-weekly, monthly, half-year or year-long passes will be required for vehicles parked outside those hours. The spots will be among the furthest from stores. The number of spots available and costs have yet to be decided. The issue comes up at the Monday, July 25 council meeting. Reid and other councillors said they don’t want to see taxpayers doling out a fee in order to park near their workplace. A bid to have parking restricted on John Street near St. Joseph’s Catholic School similar to that on Ottawa Street near Arnprior District High School will also come up at next week’s council meeting.

DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

No talks took place during the first week of the Sandvik Materials Technology strike, but union members were visible each day at the Arnprior plant. However, the steel tube manufacturer issued a press release accusing the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union leadership of spreading misleading information on the bargaining process. “No proposal was ever put forth which would have affected the normal

retirement benefits of the employees,” reads the press release. Early in the process, the company proposed reducing early retirement but withdrew it later. Last week union leader Derek Mosley said a small wage increase, pension changes, and the bereavement package were in dispute. But he also talked about not allowing the company to strip members’ right to retire with dignity and respect. “It’s unfortunate (the company sent the press release),” Mosley said on Wednesday.

Although Mosley insists it is the company’s turn to approach the union with an offer, when most labour negotiations hit a wall both sides claim the other should return to the table first. The plant usually shuts down during hot summer months to cut down on input costs. Mosley is hopeful the strike won’t last much longer, but said morale among the 157 members is “very positive” and support from the community is strong. “Support from the community has been very solid,” Mosley said. “People are dropping off water.”

A.J. Charbonneau students shared their joy in helping build a school in Kenya with a spirited musical play on the last week of school. The Grade 6, 7 and 8 students presented A Tree Grows in Kenya to an appreciative audience of family and friends. The play told the story of Kenyan hero Wangari Maathai, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to empower women and protect the environment against great odds in her African country. The performance raised about $1,300 for the school’s brick-by-brick campaign, which is funding the building of a school in a Kenyan village. The school is closing in on its $8,500 goal, with less than 37 bricks (about $2,000) to go by school’s end. “This has been a very collaborative effort,” said teacher Vicki Toner, who is spearheading the drive. “A lot of creativity and effort has gone into this.” The year-long campaign has been supported by staff and students and their families. The entire school has been involved, said Toner, noting every classroom had contributed to the cause. As well as raising funds for the Kenyan school, the campaign has promoted global awareness among A.J. Charbonneau students. This school season’s grand finale, the musical A Tree Grows in Kenya, was a prime example of that. The students, enthused by the play’s message, worked hard to prepare for the production. Alyssa Perrault played Maathai, Emily Cherney was Faith, and Adrienne Cavers and Tess Roberts played grandmothers. Other main actors included Mitchell Reinhardt, Lucas Roberts, Aryan Maghaddam, Jarrod Jackson, Louise Armstrong, Breanna Howarth, Kaitlyn Wagner, Gillan Murray, Skyelar Nicholas, Morgan Klein, Makenna Whetung, Alyssa MacMaster, Brooke Brumm, Cole Jordan, Anthony Pecora and Nick Lalonde. Gwen Stavenow-Davies provided the musical direction. Toner also thanked Rick Sullivan, Will Wagner and Andre Bourbonnais for building the impressive set and RONA for donating supplies. Jennifer Dunlop did a fantastic job creating a frig tree, she added. “Special thanks to Wangari Maathai for her courage and strength; we are so honoured to have the opportunity to tell your story.” Toner saved her fondest praise for the students. “Together we have made a difference,” she said. “We are the change.”

It was a chance for a new Renfrew resident to say the ultimate thank you to family and friends, new and old. Focusing on Your Magnificence, an event held June 24 at the O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew, was an opportunity for Marcus Magdalena to tell his story and thank the many people who helped welcome him and offered their love and support as he settled in and began an important healing process. Special guests for the event included Fran Watson, Lynne Kobus and Lynne Zander, who emceed the event. “Everyone is magnificent,” said Zander. “You have a light inside of you and you are born with this light. It’s up to you to let it shine.” At one time active in theatre and drama, it would be Marcus’ first performance in 14 years, explained Zander. Born Marsha in October 1971, Marcus, in a show that was part performance art, part heartfelt monologue, told of a lifetime of challenges that included instances of abuse at a childhood friend’s home and a feeling of never quite fitting in, living as a straight woman, gay woman, transgendered person, gay man and straight man. The props for Marcus’ performance included a man’s suit coat on one side of the stage and a dress on the other and a washroom sign with the familiar male/female graphics. “I’ve had enough people tell me to get out of their washroom,” said Mar-

cus. In college Marcus had his first lesbian experience and felt he was on track to figuring out where he fit in. After awhile, though, the feeling was back. “I just didn’t feel like one of them,” he said. Then came the decision to start the process of changing genders, which involved shots and treatments. Still, old demons resurfaced. “For 20 years my best friend was alcohol. By the time I was 39 years old I hated the world right back,” said Marcus. Homeless and battling addiction, something had to change. It was October 2010 when Marcus’ path took a distinctly positive turn. “I came to Renfrew and found a community of angels who believed in me,” he said. “They saw the light and came to my rescue.” The path to recovery included a walk back in his life and a look at all the experiences, positive and negative, to bring closure and forgiveness. “I came to Renfrew to find myself, to find a life that I could live and the kind of life that would bring me joy. And that’s exactly what I found here, I found friends. CHOICES Career consultant and Toastmasters aficionado Fran Watson spoke of choices, and how hers had affected her life thus far. Everyone has a story to tell and obstacles to overcome, said Watson. “Our stories reflect who we are and who we are becoming,” said Watson.

When people are young, parents make most of their choices, she said. Born in Toronto, Watson lived in the city for 13 years before her family moved. “I left behind all my friends, everything I knew. I knew no one,” she said. One of her first big choices was looming. “I was the new kid in town and there were two groups – the goody-goods and the baddy-bads,” said Watson. She thrived in high school, playing clarinet, joining the choir and playing sports. She met her husband in her last year of high school, eventually married and at 24 started a family of four children. She was 37 when the next big choice needed to be made. “I was tired of my husband’s infidelities and I asked him to leave,” she said. Instead of facing life as a single mom with a feeling of despair, she decided to seize the moment and get her university degree via correspondence. She recounted getting her first assignment back. “There was a great big red ‘F’ on it. I thought ‘maybe I don’t have what it takes,’” said Watson. It was her children who helped restore her faith. “They gathered around me and hugged me and said ‘we know you can do it,’” she said. The choice was the right one. “In August 2000, after 13 years of distance education, I proudly walked across the stage to receive my diploma,” said Watson.

Dragon boat paddlers wanted Arnprior’s White Pine Festival to feature races at late-August event DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Dragon boats are coming to Arnprior. As part of the White Pine Festival activities in late August, a dragon boat race will take place where the Ottawa and Madawaska rivers meet. Six boats will be available, with organizers wanting to see three of the long, ornately decorated canoe-like boats facing off at a time. There is a call out for about 40 teams of 18-22 paddlers. The cost is $400 per team, with a chance to win bragging rights and prizes such as a trophy and medals. Town parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur, who sits on the White Pine committee, said at nearly half the price the cost is well below what it normally takes to ride in a dragon boat. “We’re trying to attract people,” he said. “If you can paddle a boat you can participate.” The cost is offset by a $24,000 provincial grant. In addition to racing on Aug. 28, participants are allowed to practice from the time the boats arrive on Aug. 22. The money raised will go to breast cancer support and Jump Start, a program that encourages underprivileged local kids to play sports. Arnprior’s only dragon boat team, the Prior Chest Nuts,

First Impressions, a group of tourists who paid a secret visit to Arnprior recently to suggest ways to improve the town, recommended holding more activities on the water for boaters, canoers and others.

They also suggested expanding the White Pine Festival and promoting Robert Simpson Park more. Arthur said the dragon boat competition will help with both. “We are looking at this as a new, fun way to promote White Pine and the park,” he said. “They go fast. They’re fun. It should

be a good time.” Volunteers on race day are also welcome. About 30 people will be needed as timers, to work on the dock, and help out in other ways. Volunteer training will be provided. Registration deadline is Aug. 12. For more information, call 613-623-7301.

White Pine Festival organizers said at a Tuesday organization meeting the Aug. 27 and 28 celebration should be bigger and better than last year. “I think it will be considerably larger than last year,” said Mike Marcil, festival organizer and Giant Tiger manager. Many participants such as vendors and event organizers have confirmed attendance, he said, but another 20 or so attended the Nick Smith Centre meeting to offer feedback and firm up details. An aggressive and expansive ad campaign promoting the second annual White Pine should attract 15,000 to 20,000 people, Marcil said, about double last year’s total. Art Smith talked about some of the confirmed entertainers and activities. They include, downtown on Saturday: • 7:30 to 11 a.m. full breakfast, Arnprior Legion Hall; • 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. vendors; • 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. the O’Brien Theatre will present a Film Festival featuring classics from the 20’s & 30’s and travel through the years all the way up to 2010 selections. Admission is $2 per visit; • 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. OPP Golden Helmets; • 11 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. The Junkyard Symphony will perform on John Street; • 12 to 1:30 p.m. Karaoke by All 4 One Entertainment; • 12 to 3 p.m. Community Policing Bed Races on John Street; • 12 to midnight beer garden (sponsored by the Arnprior Optimist Club) $5. Button required for entry to beer garden; • 2 to 3 p.m. Jake Differ, Juno nominee and Canadian Children’s Music Award winner will perform on the Giant Tiger parking lot stage; • 4 to 4:50 p.m. The Junkyard Symphony will perform on John Street; • 5 to 6 p.m. Event details to be announced; • 7 to midnight Country & Western Show and Dance (with a little Rock & Roll); • The Giant Tiger train will once again be chugging its way around town carrying festival visitors; • Arnprior Remote Control Club model airplane simu-

Activities elsewhere in town on Saturday include: • All day Saturday fishing derby sponsored by the Ottawa Valley Muskie Club; registration is Friday evening at East Side Mario’s; • A lob ball tournament with a beer tent will take place at McLean Avenue ball diamonds. • There will be plenty to eat, too, during the day: Belgian waffles; hot dogs, hamburgers, beaver tail shaped pastries, and drinks from River of Life Church. Top-Dog is serving various sausages on a bun and beverages. Lemon Heaven is serving four flavours of lemonade, gourmet nuts, and cotton candy. Arnprior Lion’s Club has a food trailer; Dapper Donuts has mini doughnuts; and Spankie’s Chip Wagon will be at Giant Tiger. Sunday’s fun includes much of the above, along with: • 8 to 11 a.m. Arnprior Lion’s Club Pancake Breakfast, at the Masonic Hall on James Street;

Some participants the organizers are hoping to attract include street musicians, clowns, face painters, unicycle riders, stilt walkers, street dancers, buskers and more. Children’s entertainers Junkyard Symphony will be on hand, and at the meeting Bill Connolly offered up the free services of Ode to an Ottawa Valley Logger, a 35minute performance by The Pine Bark Boys. Ola Armstrong told parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur, Smith and Marcil they will bring the Chest Nuts’ dragon boat to John Street. Artist Ian Bartlett said the farmers market will be open on Elgin Street and the Friends of the Library are considering an event. With many offering to participate for free and admission costs so low, festival organizers aren’t about to make a million dollars. “We aren’t in this to make a big profit,” Smith said. “We are in this to make a good festival. If everybody in town has a good time, we done what we set out to do.” Anyone interested in joining the organizers is free to stop by Giant Tiger to talk with Marcil, or visit arnpriorwhitepinefestival.ca. “If you know anyone out there, have them get in touch with us right away,” he said. “The more the marrier. That’s what it’s all about.”

When you look closely at nature, you realize that what you see is not always what you get. While yellow-and black insects give you nasty stings, there are harmless flies that look convincingly like the wasps that wear those patterns. And there are caterpillars with giant eyespots that make them look like snakes. Birds can also be less than truthful. One good liar is the Killdeer, a plover that nests along local gravel drives and ploughed fields. A Killdeer’s penetrating name-giving calls are familiar to anyone living in a rural environment. Despite its large size and vociferous nature, a Killdeer can be difficult to see. When sitting motionless on its nest, a Killdeer’s forehead and double breast bands, appropriately called “disruptive patterns,” so effectively break up the bird’s shape into patches of dark and light that it is near impossible to see their bearer. Only after it suddenly moves and cries out (usually scaring the heck out of us in the process) are we aware that a Killdeer was present. After leaving its nest, a Killdeer starts frantically screaming and flopping its wings as if they were broken. As it pathetically flops

around, it shows off a large orange patch on its tail and up its rump. This colourful area looks like a bloody Michael Runtz w o u n d that, when Nature’s Way coupled with the brokenwing act, is designed to fool not a harmless human but a predator into believing it has found an easy meal. The Killdeer pathetically flops across the ground until the predator, likely a fox or a coyote, buys into its performance and gives chase. Although seemingly badly injured, the Killdeer always manages to find enough energy to fly a short distance whenever its pursuer gets too close. When a safe distance from the nest, the Killdeer miraculously sheds its crutches and takes flight, screaming verbal insults at the gullible and likely dumbfounded predator. Like most ground nesting birds,

a Killdeer does not move off its nest until a predator is deemed too close for comfort. However, the intensity of the ensuing display is not always the same. Sometimes it is weak, lasting only seconds and given at a distance. Other times it is a heartwrenching performance with the bird practically knocking you over. The difference in intensity is tied to the state of the eggs. If the bird just started nesting, the distraction display is weak, but if the eggs are nearing the end of their four-week incubation, the display is intense. As a broken-wing act involves risk, a Killdeer is willing to risk more (and give a stronger display) when it stands to lose more. Early in the incubation period, a Killdeer has plenty of time to re-nest but near hatching time, a lot more investment has been made and the chances of nesting again are slim. Thus, just like a good gambler, a Killdeer is willing to risk less when the stakes are small and risk more when it stands to gain more. Lucky for us Killdeer don’t play poker!

Rural councils learn of changes to livestock damage program PETER CLARK peter.clark@metroland.com

Ontario is increasing the compensation farmers can access for damage caused by predatory wildlife. Through the new Wildlife Damage Compensation Program, livestock producers will receive improved compensation when their livestock or poultry are injured or killed by predatory wildlife or when bee colonies, beehives or beehive equipment are damaged by wildlife. The list of eligible livestock has been expanded to include non-traditional livestock such as lamas and bison. Weasels, cougars and birds of prey are among predators that are now included. Municipalities will now receive $30 per claim to be used for administrative costs.

The new program will also provide a $50,000 fund for “strategic investments with industry to better understand how to prevent agriculturewildlife conflicts,” and will be reviewed every two years to ensure it is up-to-date. Admaston-Bromley council was updated on the changes at its meeting last week. Admaston-Bromley Mayor RayeAnne Briscoe said after 30 years, these changes were a long-time coming. “It’s a huge, huge problem,” the mayor said of predator attacks on cows, horses, sheep, etc. “Some farmers don’t have sheep (anymore) for that reason. It also costs you future generations,” she said. “A calf could make a considerable foundation for that herd three years down the road.”

Golf course protects members with new defibrillator DEREK DUNN

derek.dunn@metroland.com

A golf course in the Arnprior area has started protecting members from Canada’s top killer. Heart disease accounts for 80,000 deaths a year, with about one-third of those deaths coming in the form of sudden cardiac arrest. A simple device purchased by the Madawaska Golf Course now makes it possible to save lives both on the course and in the clubhouse. Owner Rick Munro bought an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), a dinner-plate sized device with three buttons and two paddles that attach to the body. He said the device is uncomplicated, costs just $1,500, and is appreciated by clients. “It’s simple to use, so staff are not afraid to use it,” Munro said. “It’s cost effective, and members say it brings peace of mind.” Dean Dimonte of Respond Solutions set the golf course up with the AED. He’s done the same

at some 50 public and private locations across Renfrew County in the last two years. The former helicopter paramedic said Madawaska is Arnprior’s first “heart-safe golf course.” He said it isn’t just staff that can use the AED. Anyone can do it, and are protected against liability. “Without any training you can figure it out in two seconds,” Dimonte said.

“Because you can’t shock someone unless it lets you, there’s no liability for using it.” In other words, you can’t do more damage to someone who is already dead. Someone who was dead until revived by an AED is Arnprior parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur. He was shocked twice after collapsing during an old-timers hockey game about four years ago.

Arthur is a big believer in the technology, and champions having AED in as many locations as possible. “I’d love to see all our golf courses get AEDs,” he said. “A heart attack is a quick killer. It brings peace of mind knowing AEDs are nearby.” Dimonte, who is from Arnprior, said two Renfrew County lives have been saved thanks to AEDs

in the last two years. Respond Solutions’ product has a four-year battery life, and is good for up to 200 shocks. The company monitors each device and tells owners when the battery needs replacement. Dimonte can be reached at (613) 327-7624.

Arnprior Fair headliners Platinum Blonde consists of drummer Chris Steffler, singer-bassist Mark Holmes and guitarist Sergio Galli. At 8 p.m. Friday, Gamut will warm up the fair crowd before headliners Platinum Blonde take to the stage at 9:45 p.m.

SHERRY HAAIMA sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Platinum Blonde Friday and the demolition derby Saturday are among the highlights planned for the 157th Arnprior Fair Aug. 4-7. Increased attendance at last year’s fair means the event is bigger and better than ever, says fair board director Lynn Grinstead. “We had record numbers at the gates last year, which means we can add more this year. Each year as it grows we can add things,” she said. Arnprior’s fair is now on par with others in the Valley, she added. World’s Finest Shows has assured the board that it will have as many rides as any other of the local fairs, said Grinstead. Platinum Blonde, the Canadian new wave rockers, had several hit singles and albums in Canada from 1983-1988, including their platinum hit Crying Over You and Standing in the Dark. Grinstead said she saw Platinum Blonde back when she was in college at George Brown in 1989 and she’s got the photo to prove it. “My hair’s almost as big as theirs,” she said with a laugh. “We’re excited to have them.” The fair board recently announced the line-up for the 2011 edition of the fair with several additions and changes in hopes of boosting attendance. The fair kicks off Thursday evening with a truck and tractor pull at 7 p.m. and Just Two Guys hitting the stage at 8 p.m. On Friday the fair begins in earnest with kids’ games, exotic animal shows and other events beginning at noon. It’s also Family Friday, with admission reduced to $2 from noon to 2 p.m. At 8 p.m. Gamut will warm up the fair crowds before headliners Platinum Blonde take to the stage at 9:45 p.m. The always-popular demolition derby is Saturday’s must-see feature, but there are plenty of other activities, including team penning from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the beef show at 10:30 a.m. Kids’ games, the exotic animal show and Circus Delights are also part of the Saturday fair schedule. Carvalho will entertain the Saturday night fair crowd after the demolition derby. Fair-goers can enjoy a free breakfast with the price of admission Sunday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and a worship service will be held on the grounds at 11 a.m. Team penning is back from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and a lawn tractor pull and strongman competition run from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. Bingo will be called from 1-4 p.m. and the 4-H show begins at noon Sunday. The Bowmansville exotic animal shows run on Sunday, also. Fair admission is $8 for adults before 5 p.m. and $10 after 5. Children under six get in free and kids seven to 12 years old pay $2. Advance all-day midway bracelets are available in advance only for $28. For more details, visit www.arnpriorfair.ca.

MCNAB-BRAESIDE MINOR BALL McNab-Braeside Minor Fastball wrapped up the 2011 junior division on a very hot July 16 at McNab Centre Park with many, many spectators. Allan Cole led a parade of 45 t-ball players to kick off the day of games. The 5P/Mites then followed with their championship games, which were close and very exciting. Executives, parents and spectators were pleased to see the development of these players over the course of the 12 week program. The coaches did a great job, say league organizers. Stoneworks (League and A Champs), Four Seasons Carwash (A Finalists), Magnetsigns (B Champs), Canadian Tire (B Finalists) and McAllister Ford made up the division of 60 players. Brian Armsden received the Coach of the Year award, presented by Jeff Clattenburg (Mites Convenor). Dan Norton was awarded the Most Improved Umpire, presented by Adam Rueckwald. The Peewee Girls arrived in at high noon, but the heat didn’t seem to bother them as they played a hard solid game of softball. Sandy’s Beauty Salon had won the league with OPG winning the playoffs while M&M finished third place. The Peewee Boys followed the girls with a very exciting game. The two teams had tied the league. The result was a one-run difference with GP taking the trophy over RONA. Greater Madawaska finished third in the division. The 2011 season started off slow as we had to be made to adjust to the low and late registrations and also the fluctuating weather, but overall it was a success. The association would like to thank all their coaches, parents and sponsors who continually make each year exciting. The season is 12 weeks, starting in early May with some teams playing as many as 21 games during the time frame. Registration for 2012 will be open between March 1 and April 15.

Peewee girls league champs Sandy’s Beauty Salon couldn’t prevail in the championship day finals, losing to Ontario Power Generation.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant is a fan of home improvement retrofit program.

Feds extend home repair program The federal government has extended the ecoENERGY Retrofit Program. In a news release last week, Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant said the program will help residents save on home improvements and energy costs while improving the environment. “Constituents across my riding have written me asking for the renewal of this program so they can continue to make energy efficient upgrades to their home,” said Gallant. “With this program, we are not only helping Canadians save money but also creating thousands of jobs for local small business home renovation contractors and protecting our environment, a double win for local residents.” From July 13 until March 31, 2012, homeowners may be eligible to receive reimbursements of up to $5,000 to make their homes more energy-efficient. “Our government remains committed to supporting hardworking families and creating jobs for local businesses,” said Gallant. “Homeowners who participated in the program saved, on average, 20 per cent on their energy bills.” There are two important changes to the program. First, there is a requirement for participants to register directly with the program before booking their evaluation. Second, homeowners will now be required to provide receipts to their energy advisor at the time of the post-retrofit evaluation to confirm eligibility for the grant. The final deadline to complete retrofits and obtain a post-retrofit evaluation is March 31, 2012. See ‘RETROFIT’, Page 24

MP welcomes AECL moves Local MP Cheryl Gallant says she welcomes the news the CANDU reactor division of the Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) has been sold. Under the terms of the agreement, SNC-Lavalin, through its wholly owned subsidiary CANDU Energy, will take over the division’s three business lines: services to the existing fleet, lifeextension projects and reactor new builds. “I am pleased the Canadian nuclear legacy will remain in Canadian hands. “The people of Canada will retain ownership of all CANDU intellectual property, while providing an exclusive licence to CANDU Energy to grow its business,” said Gallant in a June 30 news release. “The federal government has adopted many elements developed by our local Chalk River Employees Ad Hoc TaskforcE (CREATE) committee for a national laboratory. CREATE was formed at my direction by a group of current and former employees to help me champion the cause of re-vitalizing Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) after years of cutbacks by the former government. “It is important to note CRL is not part of this sale.” AECL Nuclear Laboratories will provide services, on a commercial basis, to CANDU Energy post-closing. The agreement is expected to generate revenue during its five-year term. AECL could be asked to provide various services, including shielded facilities, reactor chemistry and systems engineering. It is a critical step to strengthen Canada’s nuclear industry while reducing taxpayers’ exposure to nuclear commercial risks, said the MP. It’s expected about 1,200 jobs will be protected at the closing of the transaction, she added.

Retrofit incentives Continued from Page 23 However, program registration will close to new participants if the financial limit has been reached before that date. “Anyone wanting more information on the ecoEnergy Retrofit program should contact my constituency office in Pembroke,” said Gallant. The renewal of the ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program was first introduced in the preelection federal budget, “The renewal of this popular program was a promise made in the last election. It is important to keep one’s election promises, and in this case promise made, promise kept,” concluded Gallant.

New video on Ballads of the Turf

Come in and see our large selection of

Arnprior-born Bill Galvin’s updated website features a newly minted video. The video is about his critically-acclaimed Ballads of the Turf, which was published in 2006. “Ballads of the Turf captures the timeless essence of life on the racetrack and takes you to a horse racing place you can’t get to any more,” says a news release from American Horse Publications. “It tells the real life stories of colourful Damon Runyonesque-type backstretch characters like Bill the Reverend, Chatahoochee Smith and Sheepherder Bill. Their fascinating stories are vividly captured by the author, who lived among these unforgettable characters who populate his ballads.” The book video is available at www.BalladsoftheTurf.com website and on You Tube. It features beautiful backstretch photos by Robert Bateman at Woodbine; handsome Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms yearlings romping in their paddocks; illustrations by noted equine artist Elaine Macpherson; and the familiar voice of Ryan Mahan, America’s premier equine auctioneer. The voice-over is that of Woodbine track announcer Dan Loiselle. Galvin was born and raised in Arnprior (1931-51). He now resides in Mississauga with wife Anny. His happy memories growing up in Arnprior include riding Doc Findley’s 18-year-old pacer GG Kirk in the half-mile saddle races at the Arnprior Fair in the mid 1940s. Another fond memory is jogging Findley’s pacing mare, Slippery Sue, to White Lake and back (20 miles) each day after school in sub-zero weather. “The return trip in a cutter took less than an hour on a snow- packed White Lake Road,” recalls Galvin. “An old buffalo robe helped to keep me warm.” Slippery Sue’s winter conditioning paid off because she won her first start of the season (Victoria Day weekend) at Pembroke’s O’Kelly Park.

Health units issue heat warning With temperatures expected to hit 30 degrees or higher for most days this week, area health units issued a heat alert. That was upgraded Tuesday to a heat warning because of the continued high heat and humidity. Temperatures and humidex levels are expected to be extreme throughout the week and could peak today (Thursday) at near record-setting levels. A combination of heat and high humidity lasting for several days can be hazardous to your health. Conditions during high heat and humidity have the potential to cause dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and in some cases death. Everyone is at risk. However the elderly, people with chronic illness or who take certain medications, infants and preschool children, wnr people who participate in physical activity or are involved in strenuous outdoor work for prolonged periods are in greater danger of being affected: During a Heat Alert, the public is strongly encouraged to check on neighbours or friends who may have a greater risk of suffering negative health consequences from the heat. During very hot weather, everyone should take the following precautions: • Drink plenty of water and 100% fruit juices throughout the day, even if you don't feel very thirsty. Remember to take sips often and not to guzzle your drink; • Eat foods that have high water content such as watermelon, grapes and oranges;

• Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, coffee and cola; • Avoid going out in the blazing sun or heat when possible. If you must go outside, stay in the shade as much as possible. Plan any necessary outdoor activities in early morning or evening; • Whenever possible go to an air-conditioned room or building, including shopping malls and libraries; • Wear a wide-brimmed hat outdoors; • Keep window shades or drapes drawn and blinds closed on the sunny side of your home; • Keep electric lights off or low; • Take a cool bath or shower periodically or cool down with cool, wet towels; • Visit a local pool or beach – check for postings www.healhunit.org; • Wear loose fitting, light clothing; • Avoid eating heavy meals and using your oven; • Avoid strenuous outdoor physical activity, reschedule sport practices; • Never leave a child or pet in a parked car or sleeping outside in direct sunlight; • Use fans to draw cool air at night, but do not rely on a fan as a primary cooling device during extended periods of excessive heat; • Consult your doctor or pharmacist regarding the side effects of your medications; • Reduce the use of personal vehicles, stop unnecessary idling; avoid using oilbased paints and glues, pesticides and gas-powered small engines.

Cap gun collector a throwback to the Wild West By Harry Gallon There is a new sheriff in town and his name is Mike Lebrun. In reality, Lebrun is the postmaster of the Kinburn post office, but in spirit, he is a character straight out of the Wild West. “The Wild West was a much simpler time,” said Lebrun, who was born and raised in Arnprior, and has been a resident of Kinburn since 1979. “It wasn’t hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. If I lived in that time, I would have liked to been the sheriff: I like people to be accountable. I certainly wouldn’t have been the gunslinger.” Gunslinger, no, but a man in possession of more than 250 vintage cap guns, a humdinger, you could say, of a unique and well-loved collection. “I didn’t appreciate the craftsmanship of cap guns as a kid,” he said. “They are not like toys now: they were made to last. The quality of materials and the workmanship that went into them is amazing. They were made with pride, and it shows.” Lebrun, 57, grew up watching the western television shows of the day – The Roy Rogers Show, Rawhide, Hopalong Cassidy - and took more from them than just entertainment. “The dialogue and storylines always had a good moral,” he said. “They were romanticized versions of the old cowboy code, but I learned that if you went outside that code, there would be consequences.” Lebrun recalls buying a Leslie-Henry cap gun from Mr. Slaughter’s Barbershop and Hobby Store in Arnprior as a boy. “They provided a lot of entertainment for a relatively small price,” he said. “You could make up stories in your head about good guys and bad guys. They were great for the imagination.” He purchased the Leslie-Henry for 98 cents in the early 1960s. Today, the same gun can fetch up to $500. Lebrun says he started collecting cap guns “by accident.” In 1996, he was already collecting, buying and selling antique toys. He was at the Stittsville Flea Market one Sunday, liked the look of an old cap gun – and purchased it. “It brought me back to my childhood and those old western shows,” said Lebrun. He liked the feel of it, the detail, and the craftsmanship, and felt a renewed passion for an old love. Prowling flea markets, local gun shows and nostalgia shows, in addition to scouring the Internet, Lebrun slowly began to fill antique and handcrafted display units. He started his collection by purchasing Texan and Texan Junior models, which were manufactured from 1940-66. Today, he has devoted an entire room in his home to storing and displaying his diverse collection. Each item is tagged: manufacturer, model, year made and number to cross reference a model manual. “The mortality rate for cap guns were high,” said Lebrun. “They were fired and often used as a battering tool. Finding something that is not damaged is rare. “I consider myself more of a curator than a collector. Cap guns will never make a comeback as toys. Guns are just not politically correct in today’s society.” TOP-CALIBRE COLLECTION “Top end” cap guns featured rotating cylinders, the capacity to hold bullets and were made of cast iron. Most were engraved, nickel plated, and several models, gold plated. Some even came with a warranty. Today, their value is determined by “demand and condition, not necessarily scarceness,” said Lebrun.

Mike Lebrun runs the Kinburn post office by day, but is an avid cap gun collector in his spare time. The Arnprior native is a huge fan of spaghetti westerns and shows from the 1950s such as The Roy Rogers Show, Rawhide, Hopalong Cassidy. ed and a cap gun “you could only His most valuable piece is win in a contest.” a Kilgore “American” model.

Continued from Page 3 Ethnic diversity is lacking, they said, a trend that is worrisome in most Ontario small towns. Tourism advisory committee chairwoman Lynn Grinstead, before a crowd of about 35 – most of whom participated or work for government – thanked the group. “With an open mind, we can move forward with these ideas,” she said. The Ontario Ministry of Food and Rural Affairs administers the program. Representative Bruce Moore encouraged the town to implement at least some of the ideas. “One of the things we want to see is some action come from the program,” Moore said.

Park benches are proposed for viewing the island and falls at the Madawaska Bridge. The Kemptville visitors said coloured lights should help highlight the water and impress visitors and residents alike. However, key to any development should be creating a clear link between the downtown core and the waterfront, they said.

Opportunities and features ... Five potential opportunities, according to the Kemptville visitors: • Signage strategy – a cohesive design for branding, directional, downtown, business and points of interest; • Downtown/waterfront connection – enhance connections with trail markers, marketing materials, maps, transportation, attract and develop business partnerships that enhance both assets (i.e. marina, waterfront café, boating supplies, canoe rentals, fishing

products, etc.); • Waterfront development – Continue to develop waterfront as key asset and attraction to live and play; • Investment readiness – Industrial/commercial attraction, product development, job creation with a physician recruitment strategy; • Develop tourism sector – Indentify markets. Tourism kiosk during summer months at key corner (Madawaska and John streets), expand farmers market, White Pine Festival, develop bundled experiences

(cycling, boating, paddling, shopping, dining, tours), daytrippers and extended stays. The most outstanding features: • Unique shopping and culinary experiences; • History; • Wide streets, well-planned, clean; • Streetscape designs, facades, business signs; • Two rivers connecting; • Waterfall and bridge view; • Waterfront beach and trails.

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - July 21 2011

Detour sending people to Arnprior? BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Travellers on Bellamy Road south of Pakenham are having to find alternate routes for at least a month this summer because of major repairs to Boal Bridge. Construction began this month following approval of the project by Mississippi Mills council. Boal Bridge is located on Bellamy Road between White Lake and Cedar Hill, east of Arnprior. Council examined four possibilities in regards to repairing the bridge. Council approved single-land rehabilitation, meaning its is replacing the current one-lane bridge with a concrete deck with new steel guardrails. It is the least expensive option and will see the road closed for the least amount of time, an estimated four weeks in July, to accommodate school bus schedules. Not all residents are in favour of the bridge project. Several affected residents attended the meeting approving the project and expressed concern. Residents also expressed skepticism at the meeting that the bridge would be done in four weeks,. “I’m very unimpressed. Maybe this was acceptable in the 1800s,” Lalonde said. “They did Island Park in Ottawa overnight and it was two lanes and longer.” He said he would prefer the councillors look into a less disruptive option. There are commuters who use the bridge that will only have minor extensions in order to detour, but Lalonde is not one of them.

Wayne Griese commented that he no longer takes a route where he must cross the bridge to get to work, but the bridge construction will deter him from traveling into Mississippi Mills, and he will choose instead to go to Arnprior for daily business.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING gets read. gets remembered. gets results With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

BEST OPTION? The other options examined all required the bridge to close for a minimum of four weeks, but varied in cost and bridge longevity. The first option was chosen because of the length of the detour route – up to 45 kilometres round trip – for residents most affected by the bridge closure, and the significant cost difference between the longer lasting options. The bridge is expected to last 25 years, though councillors noted, with proper maintenance, it could be lengthened. The bridge was built in 1948 and has never had major construction or repairs. A report indicated the structure is generally in poor condition and (the) condition is progressively worsening.” It also said that “existing railing system over the structure is sub-standard and does not meet present Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code requirements.” Pakenham Coun. Denzil Ferguson expressed concern that the bridge is not being expanded into two lanes. “I cannot respect the common sense part of it,” he said. “But the economics I can.”

The company is giving 15 supper theatre performances in Eganville and Killaloe of a brand new musical called ‘The Opeongo Opera: a tamarackin’ tour of the Ottawa Valley’. Additionally, there will be four concerts with top performing artists this summer. The company, which sells most tickets by phone, has a new box office host, Stephanie Parsons of Barry’s Bay. The new local box office phone number is 613756-3081. Or call toll-free 1-866-310-1004. N LIS EW

This year for the first time, the company is also selling tickets on-line at its website www.stonefence.ca. The Opeongo Opera could be one of the company’s most enjoyable shows yet, says producer/director Ish Theilheimer. “We have some very talented – and funny – new people as well as most of our most-loved veterans,” he says. The show, he adds, is “definitely not an opera,” but, rather, a “rollicking collection of songs, comedy and stories about the Valley.” New stars in the cast include singer Fran (Fran Band) Hobbs, singer-songwriter Terry McLeish and the brother-and-sister musical duo Emma and Will March of Pembroke. Returning veterans are John Haslam, Ken Ramsden, Ambrose Mullin, Maureen McCoy and Peter Brown.

Exploring North America Since 1969 NEW-LOOK GARBAGE CANS Jenn Stack, left and Alexa Moffatt were among Arnprior District High School Grade 10 arts student who painted garbage cans in bright colours for the town. The project was the result of a partnership between the school and Arnprior’s parks and recreation youth program. The goal is to encourage people, including students, to be more aware of the cans and as a result use them to the benefit of the environment. Ten of the 11 colourful garbage cans have been placed in Robert Simpson Park with the other one at the Nick Smith Centre. A photo published earlier mis-identified the two students.

Eastern Region OPP take aim at graffiti in program started in Renfrew County Statistics have indicated a rapid growth in mischief incidents, specifically graffiti, within the detachment areas of the OPP’s Eastern Region over the past two years. Although the incidents are minor in nature, graffiti, if not dealt with can quick-

ly lead to further incidents and those of a more serious nature such as criminal activity by organized groups (gangs), says the OPP. In an initiative started in Renfrew County, Eastern Region OPP has created the Eastern Region Graffiti Eradication Strategy to enable detachments to

track graffiti incidents, suspects and lay subsequent charges. “The vision of the Graffiti Eradication Strategy is a community free of acts of graffiti; a community that takes pride in working together as one team to reduce crime and maintain its beauty,” said

Chief Superintendent Gary Couture, Eastern Region Commander. The Eastern Region Graffiti Eradication Strategy uses education, enforcement and empowerment of the community. If you see graffiti in your neighbourhood, report it immediately, urges the OPP.

Hold your kids the right way STEVE NEWMAN steve.newman@metroland.com

Hold on to your kids, but the right way. Many children have disconnected from their parents, as youth have increasingly turned to their peers as a prime source of advice, direction and comfort. But that’s not the way it should be, or needs to be, said guest speaker and Vancouver psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld before an attentive audience of more than 150 at Renfrew Collegiate Institute this spring. The crowd for the free talk, Relationship Matters, featured several parents and grandparents, while about 25 per cent of the audience was professionals who work with children. A psychologist with 40 years experience with children and youth, Dr. Neufeld is co-author of the book, Hold On To Your Kids: Why Parents Need To Matter More than Peers. The event was hosted by the Renfrew County Student Support Leadership Team, whose members include the Phoenix Centre and the county’s Catholic and public school boards. Parents appear to have resigned themselves to playing second fiddle to their kids’ constant texting, blogging, twittering and Facebooking. But early in the talk, the 64-year-old psychologist cautioned parents that they can’t afford to play a secondary role to their children’s

peers. He also stressed why and how it’s important to maintain positive parent-child relationships. He also stressed that parents don’t necessarily have to have all the answers because they are “the answer.” Parents, explained Neufeld, need to have a strong relationship with their kids or risk being ignored or becoming a less significant, or even insignificant, influence on their children’s behaviour and upbringing. To be in that position, parents need to work on what he called the most significant factor in the parenting and teaching equation − the parent-child relationship. Parents intuitively know that, but that knowledge doesn’t influence practice, said Neufeld, a married father with five children and three grandchildren. Long-standing cultural traditions have defined parent-child relationships, says Neufeld. As history has shown, he says children are “attached to those they need to be attached to, and as we’re losing our culture, we’re coming undone. “As sure as the moon must revolve around the earth … children must revolve around their parents, grandparents, their teachers, to be able to create the context for them to realize their full potential as human beings, for healthy development and for society to run properly.”

Facebook not to blame Good parenting requires engraining rituals for greetings and goodbyes. Good parenting means accepting tears in a child as an avenue to learning that discipline or saying no doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean lack of love, he said. Tears can be a powerful part of a parent-child relationship, said Neufeld, because if a child feels safe at home and cries tears of futility, that often simply means the child has accepted that something he or she wants wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to find a way to say no ... Every child needs a safe place to cry, and so many children have no safe place to cry,â&#x20AC;? said Neufeld. Too often parents are far too concerned about so-called proper behaviour, like crying, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that we have to be able to take them from tantrums to tears. We need to be able to hold them, as least figuratively â&#x20AC;Ś until thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing left to do but let them cry and make it easy for them to have their sadness. This is the answer to aggression.â&#x20AC;? Ways to recreate or solidify strong attachment rituals between parents and children include improving goodbye rituals, said the psychologist. He noted that the rituals need a focus not on the goodbye, but on the next connection. Like: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a hug when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleeping.â&#x20AC;? Or: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see you in my dreams.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from Page 50 Blame Facebook all you want, but Neufeld stressed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Facebook phenomenon would not occur if children were revolving around their parents and their grandparents and their teachers. There simply would be no takers. The problem is not Facebook, the problem is not the social media, the problem is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing the context to raise our children.â&#x20AC;? Many parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lack knowledge, but rather the self-confidence, to do the job, says Neufeld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to believe that you are your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best bet because when you believe in them it comes true. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to start there ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way you act, the way you assume responsibility.â&#x20AC;? As he reminded the parents in the crowd: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have the answers. You are the answer.â&#x20AC;? Attachment is often seen as undesirable in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell Neufeld that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re forgetting that our role â&#x20AC;Ś is to meet the basic attachment hunger, the need for contact and closeness and loving and belonging,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest will unfold, but that is our anchor goal. Hence, the title of the book: Hold On to Your Kids. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough for them to hold on to us. We have to hold our ground.â&#x20AC;? But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean constant rules and sanctions, suggested Neufeld.

Education

The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) is again dipping into reserves to balance its budget. In the budget passed unanimously by trustees June 27, the board is investing $58.7 million in its faith-based education system in the 2011-2012 school year. “My fellow trustees and I believe this budget provides the necessary resources and planning to ensure the best possible programs for our students,” said board chairman Bob Schreader. “We are confident that this is a sound investment in the future of our children and our community.” The board is transferring $845,037 from reserves to balance the budget. The transfer will be used to cover board-funded programs and projects. Schreader points out that the 2011-2012 budget reflects several province-wide initiatives that focus on increasing student success and responding to individual needs of students. “Our programs have been very successful in the past, and we aim to strengthen our focus on ensuring each and every student has the opportunity to achieve and to grow within our faithbased system,” he explained. The single largest program expenditure in the 2011-2012 budget is $8.1 million allocated to special education programs. $6.9 million of which will be funded by the Ministry and other miscellaneous revenue. The board will cover the $1.2 million shortfall with funds from other areas. Although the RCCDSB has had a drop in student enrolment in recent years, it has continued to support all of its programs. “Special education programming is a visual symbol of our commitment to an inclusive Catholic education that nurtures the giftedness, self-worth and potential of each student in our board,” said Schreader. Other key initiatives in the budget for 2011-2012 are: • Ministry funding of $209,000 to expand the Early Learning Kindergarten Program within the board, supplemented by board funding in excess of $240,000. The board’s two Arnprior schools are not among those getting the program in the next two years. • The Kindergarten to Grade 2 Literacy Initiative focuses on teaching children to develop deep-thinking skills through literacy. A total of $23,000 has been allotted to this program to sustain the work started in 10 initial schools last year and expand to spread the learning to other schools. • Collaborative Inquiry for Learning in Math program, with a budget of $30,000, will be able to expand and involve more

schools and teachers in the junior division from the original four schools in 2010-2011. • Funding of $52,000 for strategically focused initiatives to assist specific schools with student achievement; • With the provincial School Food and Beverage Policy coming into effect this fall, wellness and health programs will include nutrition/healthy eating instruction, as well as daily physical activity implemented across the board; • Allocation of $103,673 to safe schools for a co-ordinator to deal with students’ health, wellness, safety and retention issues. • Funding of $71,390 for French as a Second Language, including professional training for teachers. • In an effort to make the board’s music program more robust, an equivalent of 1.5 teachers will be added. Total music teaching staff will be at an equivalent of 5.5 for this year. •The board is maintaining its commitment to the Summer School program for literacy and numeracy, serving more than 300 students board-wide. • Specialist High Skills Major programs, such as health and wellness, hospitality, transportation and solar energy, will provide specialized career training for high school students. • The Hila Advanced Learners program, for Grades 4 to 8 will allow students to construct and investigate a variety of renewable energy systems including solar, biomass, wind and water. The university Enrichment Mini Course Program is open to students in Grades 8 to 11. Courses are offered in a variety of disciplines, such as information technology, psychology, engineering, journalism, mathematics, music, drama, and law. • The newly formed Parent Involvement Committee is committed to supporting the board in its mandate to provide excellent academic results and safe and welcoming school environments for learning. The Ministry parent engagement funding of $16,718 will further support its work and the school councils across the system; • Investment in technology infrastructure projects funding of $250,000 to ensure schools and classrooms are technology-rich learning environments with a highly effective infrastructure. The funding will include an upgrade to all school file servers and the wide area Internet network, as wall as the completion of a two-year investment in wireless infrastructure in all schools. Other classroom initiatives include: • $100,000 to build on the board’s leading-edge E-Learning

Initiative to engage new technology in the classroom and provide on-line homework support for students from Grades 7 to 12; • $87,805 to continue the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, strengthening ties between high school and the work world; • $83,300 for library support; • $80,000 to continue the Tutors in the Classroom program; • $53,600 dedicated to Community Use of Schools; • more than $760,000 allocated to school budgets for textbooks, learning materials, classroom supplies, computers and Smart Boards. In the area of capital funding, the board looks forward to the opening of the newly constructed St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School in Petawawa this fall. St. Joseph Catholic High School has several capital projects underway, including instal-

lation of new lights in the gymnasium and front foyer; creation of a new room with an automatic lift and sink for special needs students who use a wheelchair. About $1.5 million has been allocated to School Renewal and School Condition Funding to provide major capital upgrades to learning spaces across the system. Funding for board transportation has also been adjusted proportionately to the decline in enrolment, and faces an additional one per cent reduction due to a routing efficiencies rating. The board has introduced some administrative initiatives to meet these challenges, including: • reorganization of board staff to meet staffing needs without hiring; • trustees have committed to going paperless in September and will conduct committee and board meetings utilizing technology.

#3982 Salem Mason Martinat

Portia Cybulski

Salem, an easygoing cat with a great personality, deserves to ﬁnd a great, new home. The two-year-old neutered male was brought to the shelter to ﬁnd a new home. Salem is affectionate, friendly and loves to be petted. He is good with other cats and is very gentle.

#3997 Murphy Murphy is an active two-year-old Beagle/ Spaniel mix who was brought to the shelter as a stray and never claimed. He is an active dog who will require regular walks and activities to keep him busy. Murphy knows some basic commands but would beneﬁt from more training. He is cratetrained and housebroken. Murphy gets along with some dogs and would be best suited in a home without cats and older children. He is very sweet and deserves to ﬁnd a loving new home.

Supplies the shelter needs: bleach, paper towels, surface cleaner and disinfectant wipes. Rhys Baker

Sophie Gibbons

OPP stress that accidentally calling 911 ties up both police and communication centre personnel. Renfrew OPP officers responded to 23 false 9-1-1 calls in one week in early July. Police ask people not to pre-program 9-1-1 as a speed dial option on their phones and that they not allow young children to play with cordless phones. Police response times to other calls for service may be reduced when police are busy attending to false 911 calls. The number is for life-threatening emergencies only. To reach the OPP for other calls for service, call 1-888-310-1122.

ARNPRIOR CHRONICLE-GUIDE - July 21 2011

BAGPIPES FOR THE ORANGEMEN Photo by Desmond Devoy

The Arnprior-McNab Pipes and Drums were among the groups taking part in this year’s Orange Lodge Eastern Ontario parade. The annual parade was held in Smiths Falls July 12, making its way down Beckwith Street, the main drag. The parade draws members of the Loyal Orange Lodge from chapters all over eastern Ontario, and marks the victory of forces loyal to the Protestant King William of Orange over the Catholic James II for the English throne, during the Battle of the Boyne in County Meath, Ireland, in 1690. Legend has it that the Dutch-born “King Billy,” as he is affectionately known, led his troops into battle atop a white charger. Similar parades are still held in places like Northern Ireland.

In memory of a dear friend,

Kenny Marcellus BOESE Christian Alexander Edwards Passed away July 31, 2010.

The Broken Chain We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you Home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Always in our hearts, The Edwards Family & Grandmother Jean Stevenson CL25493

July 23, 1951 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 6, 2004 A Heavenly Birthday Wish to our very Special Angel

In loving memory of John Boese, dear husband, father and grandfather, who passed away July 23, 2010.

Life has a way of changing courses without fair warning. On Januray 6, 2004 that course changed our lives forever. Kenneth, today July 23, 2011 would have marked a milestone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your 60th Birthday. So on this special day we celebrate with fond memories a great son, brother, sonin-law, brother-in-law, father-in-law uncle, cousin and awesome husband, dad, grampa and a very special friend to many. We miss your smile, your laughter, and your wit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I miss you; your song, our conversation and our touch.

We dream of our dear loved one, And see his smiling face. We know that he is happy, In our Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chosen place. The rolling stream of life goes on, But still the vacant chair, Recalls the love, the voice, the smileâ&#x20AC;Ś Of the one who once sat there.

Mom and Dad Dave and Dawn CL25460

We cannot see you with our eyes Or hear you with our ears. But thoughts of you are with us still And often dry our tears. You whisper in the rustling leaves That linger in the fall; And in the gentle evening breeze, We are sure we hear you call. A part of you remains with us That none can take away. It gives us strength to carry on At dawning of new day. We think of happy times we shared And then we softly sigh. But this we know. Marlene. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet again And never say goodbye We sure do miss you, Love Ann, Donald, Jael and Colin CL25163

In 1951 he married Audrey Carol Albee who was working as a medical secretary. He moved to Montreal and was hired as a “radar engineer” with RCA Victor, and subsequently as a “transistor engineer”. The year 1955 saw the birth of their first son, and the formation of a company called Pylon Electronic Development Company Ltd with his brother Stanley and Herb Laks. John became President and 30 years later retired as Chairman of the Board. Predeceased by his wife Audrey of 59 years, he will be sadly missed by his three sons John Peter (m. Victoria Chandler), Richard James, and Edward Albee (m. Rosemary Drziak), his seven grandchildren: John Richard, Charles (m.

Johann eventually worked for Canada Post and held the position of Postmistress at Kinburn.
