Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is looking forward to the June 7 election under the leadership of newly elected Progressive Conservative (PC) leader Doug Ford. “We are 100 per cent behind him and all the leadership candidates are too,” said Yakabuski, two days after the leadership convention on March 10. “We believe Ontario wants a change and they want to fire Kathleen Wynne ... Doug Ford stands up for the little guy that (she) has ignored or forgotten. Doug Ford will represent everyone and those people will not be forgotten.” Yakabuski is the nominated PC candidate for the election, a position he says he is proud to hold for the last 15 years. He has yet to speak to Ford but will see him next at the caucus meeting coming up this week.

End policy that punishes at-home patients: NDP critic DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
This is the fifth story in our series examining the state of home care in southern Renfrew county. Reprisals, threats and a constant state of fear are rampant throughout Ontario’s home care services, according to the NDP critic. And too few tax dollars are reaching at-home patients. France Gélinas has followed the series of stories produced by Metroland Media that has led to an outpouring of horror stories from at-home patients. They claim retaliation by government agencies for refusing services, or fear speaking out after hearing others have lost services; even a nonprofit group in Renfrew that receives funding from Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is fearful to speak out. “Our home care system is broken,” said Gélinas, health critic in the NDP shadow cabinet. “They are told to keep their mouth shut; don’t let anybody know what you are going through. And most people don’t have the time or energy to put into complaints. “You’ve given voice to a few of the thousands of people like Pam.”
That comes as no surprise to Gélinas; it is provincial policy. “It’s an inhumane rule. If you refuse a bed, they deem you as no longer in crisis. You are denied services,” Gélinas said. “We punish people who don’t take the first bed.” It evidently doesn’t matter if that bed is too far Richard J. Brennan/Toronto Star for a 72-year-old France Gélinas, NDP health critic, says reprisals, caregiver to visit threats, and misspent tax dollars are out of control on a regular basis. “The regulain the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care. tions are heartless.

there’s a good chance your contract won’t be renewed.” Many close to the home care industry - which sees private companies deploy poorly-paid and overworked personal support workers (PSWs) are speaking out on social media sites against the current system introduced by the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris. It hasn’t changed under the Liberals since taking power in 2003. Gélinas indicated a need to remove the for-profit factor from the equation. She points to an auditor general report showing close to 40 per cent of the $2.7 billion spent on home care in 2016-2017 wound up in the hands of government administration or private companies. The same companies are accused of overbooking home visits to gain more money and using too few PSWs who are often paid minimum wage. “If you follow the money, only 60 cents on the dollar goes to the bedside.” For those who say the taxpayer has a limited amount to spend on health care, Gélinas suggested putting that $1 billion toward paying PSWs good wages and better working conditions is better than seeing it go to the top staff of private companies. It would also address the PSW
shortage experienced across the province. Word is out that most jobs with the private companies are high stress with low compensation, so fewer students are signing up for training. A return to the public sector, much like the former Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) was like prior to the Harris years, would “bring good paying jobs and good care to our communities. “One billion dollars buys you a lot of PSWs.” John Yakabuski said much more discussion has to take place before he is ready to move on solutions. “I’m not going to try and establish a model off the top of my head,” said Yakabuski, PC MPP for RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke. “We need input from all sectors: from PSWs, the LHIN, hospitals, all the stakeholders.” His office deals with many complaints that pour in from at-home patients. Many people say Yakabuski’s staff works effectively and efficiently to help, but that the situation will only grow worse as an aging population lives longer. “There is not enough attention paid to our elderly population,” Yakabuski said. “The reality is, people are falling through the cracks and we need to do better.”

Leslie was asked what Korea is like. He’s enjoying Korean barbecued pork; not into spicy so he’s skipped the sauerkraut-like kimchi; but has had “a drink or two” of soju, a clear distilled spirit. Others at the event include representatives of Mount Pakenham, Ronald McDonald House, and CHEO
Foundation. At the end, the entire crowd joined in on a chorus of “Go John Go” to the delight of the athlete and onlookers at Canada House. Leslie earned a seventh place finish in the men’s snowboard cross. He competes again on Friday in the men’s banked slalom. He finished seventh in the 2012 Paralympic Games in Sochi.

OPP distracted driving campaign Over March Break, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be highly focused on what has been the deadliest kind of driver on OPP-patrolled roads for the fifth consecutive year - the inattentive driver. Inattentive drivers were behind 83 road fatalities on OPP-patrolled roads in 2017, surpassing speed-related deaths (75), alcohol/drug-related deaths (46) and those that are linked to lack of seat belt use (49). Since 2009 (the year Ontario Distracted Driving laws took effect), 692 have been killed on OPP-patrolled roads in collisions that involved an inattentive driver. “By now, the majority of drivers and passengers have witnessed, had a close call or been involved in a collision with a driver who was texting, talking on their cell phone or engaged in some other form of distraction. Last year, the OPP responded to 8,711 crashes that were linked to driver inattention. - OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, provincial commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support. DID YOU KNOW? If convicted of distracted driving, a fully licenced driver will receive: • a fine of $400, plus a victim surcharge and court fee, for a total of $490 if settled out of court • fine of up to $1,000 if you receive a summons or fight your ticket • three demerit points applied to your driver’s record Drivers who endanger others because of any distraction, including hand-held and hands-free devices, may still be charged with Careless Driving under the Highway Traffic Act or even Dangerous Driving under the Criminal Code of Canada. Both charges carry heavy fines and penalties.

Arnprior receives $23,000 for downtown study Investing in innovative green infrastructure projects contributes to a clean growth economy and strengthens the middle class by ensuring communities are healthy and sustainable places to live. The Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and Jenny Gerbasi, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) announced this week funding for 68 initiatives in communities across Canada through three programs: the Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program (MCIP), the Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP), and the Green Municipal Fund (GMF). “These investments will help municipalities across the country to plan, build and maintain their infrastructure more strategically,” said Sohi. “Investments in green infrastructure projects help build healthy, liveable, cleaner, and more sustainable communities now and for future generations.” Arnprior is receiving $23,000 to complete a phase II environmental site assessment (ESA) on a lot located at 25 Daniel St. North, a brownfield site that serves as a gateway between residential neighbourhoods and Arnprior’s historic downtown. The property previously operated as a service station and garage and has been vacant and derelict for many years. The town aims to clean up the site for reuse in order to revitalize and strengthen its central business area, encourage infill development, avoid urban sprawl, and demonstrate how other contaminated properties
within the community can be rehabilitated for successful repurposing and redevelopment. Improving Canada’s infrastructure lays – in large part – in the hands of the municipalities. Communities across the country want to be sure they are investing their infrastructure money wisely, and that they are ready to adapt to the potential effects of climate change as they make local infrastructure investment decisions. The projects announced March 13 demonstrate the work being done on these fronts in municipalities large and small. “It’s exciting to see so many municipalities—big and small—stepping up to do things differently. “All three programs behind today’s announcement are helping communities do just that and learn from each other along the way,” said Jenny Gerbasi, FCM president. “We are proud to fund these initiatives and know that local action in communities across Canada is driving change on a national scale. Together, we’re making real progress toward Canada’s climate and sustainability goals.” For example, the City of Montreal is receiving funding through MCIP for a pilot project that will create green spaces in alleyways. Rooftop drains will be disconnected from sewer systems and excess rainwater will be used to water plants and walkways between buildings, improving both public and private spaces. This project could potentially divert the
equivalent of two Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of water from the city’s sewers. Funding through MAMP is helping Canadian municipalities make informed decisions on infrastructure investments based on sound asset management practices. In Newfoundland, seven municipalities are receiving funding to train local officials on asset management planning, preparing a local inventory of assets, and reporting on the preliminary state of infrastructure. This training will help communities make informed investment decisions for infrastructure assets that will deliver value for money, while serving their citizens’ needs. Through GMF, communities are not only improving the environment around them, they are maximizing municipal resources and improving the lives of their citizens. The Township of Douro-Dummer, Ontario will study the feasibility of constructing a net-zero energy centralized public works and emergency services building, which would produce at least as much energy as it consumes on an annual basis. This initiative will provide an example for other small rural towns that want to improve and consolidate municipal infrastructure in environmentally sustainable ways. MCIP, MAMP, and GMF are funded by the Government of Canada and delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The MCIP is a five-year, $75-million program designed to encourage Canadian municipalities to better prepare for and adapt to the new realities of climate change as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

OPINION

Ford Nation provincially? Who said Ontario politics is boring? There is now a gap in the centre with a clear choice for voters in the lead up to the June 7 election. After an abrupt leadership race prompted by sex allegations against Patrick Brown, Progressive Conservative members had four distinct choices in social conservative Tanya Granic Allen, newcomer-to-politics Caroline Mulroney, caucus favourite Christine Elliott, and populist Doug Ford. For the most part, the campaign was a civil affair, though a few knives came out between frontrunners Elliott and Ford during the final days. It could have been worse, considering polls point to the next PC leader as likely to win the province. They are to be commended for putting party first. Over six tumultuous weeks the candidates essentially tossed out the “People’s Guarantee,” the party’s campaign plan that included left-leaning promises such as maintaining the carbon tax.
That alone moved the debate away from the centre, as it should be when conservative candidates are trying to win over party voters. Ultimately, Granic Allen’s activist agenda wasn’t what members were looking for in a well-rounded leader. Mulroney didn’t assert herself enough to draw more attention. And Elliott may have lost the closely contested battle because she was seen as the Establishment candidate in what many perceive will be a Change election. Ford, a former City of Toronto councillor, may not be well known throughout the province. And he doesn’t have much time for introductions. But that could work to his advantage. He’s blustery and speaks primarily in platitudes. Perhaps first impressions are all voters are interested in at this point. The Liberals may have left too many impressions over the last 15 years. Ontario, meet Ford Nation.
Officials should be concerned about neonics and their effects on Ontario honeybees To the editor: What will it take for Health Canada to live up to its motto ‘Your health and safety...our priority’? Most of us are aware of the harm to the environment caused by neonicotinoids (neonics) as it relates to honeybees. Following are a few of the recent findings related to neonics use: 1) A beekeeper with 900 beehives in Elmwood, Ont. lost 600 of 900 hives in 2012 and many more in the following years, largely due to neonics, according to Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency; 2) Published Aug. 14, 2017 Winnipeg Sun,
Nigel Raine University of Guelph “discovered thiamethoxam, a major neonic found in agricultural crops throughout the world, reduced the chances of bumblebee queens starting new colonies by 26 per cent. This increases the chances a population could go extinct.” 3) Data published in the journal ‘Science’ reported analysis from 198 honey samples from around the world tested for five main types of neonics.... Contamination rates were highest in North America at 86 per cent, Asia 80 per cent Europe 79 per cent and lowest in South America 57 per cent Prof. E Mitchell, Univ. of Neuchatel

A shrub named after a deer only one sex of plant. Sumacs are dioecious, which means that male and female flowers are housed on separate plants. Thus, when a plant grows from a seed and eventually spreads out its roots with new shoots sprouting up from them, a cloned colony is formed, with each colony member bearing the same flower sex as the original plant. Only female plants produce fruit so the stands lacking fruit are male. But many different animals such as red squirrels do eat sumac fruit. Over the years I have observed a surprisingly large variety of birds eating sumac; the list includes ruffed grouse, blue jay, American crow, common raven, black-capped chickadee, downy woodpecker, northern flicker, eastern bluebird, American robin, grey catbird, European starling, blue-winged warbler, northern cardinal, evening grosbeak, pine grosbeak, and redwinged blackbird. It has been speculated that the brilliant autumn leaf colour serves to attract animals to sumac so that its seeds will get dispersed (the “foliar fruit flag theory”). While I’ve watched a few birds eat sumac fruit in fall and winter, the vast majority have done so in March and April, a few as late as mid-May. This I find curious, and wonder if sumac fruit might be slightly distasteful during late fall and winter (likely a poor time for seed dispersal) only to become more palatable by spring, which is undoubtedly a more favourable time for sumac seeds to be dispersed. If what I have observed is the rule, not the exception, I must bid fond farewell to the frivolously false foliar fruit flag theory! The Nature email is mruntz@start. ca

With winter gasping its final breaths, local animals are becoming very active. Chipmunks scamper about everywhere, apparently eager to enjoy the fresh air after months spent deep in their subterranean dens. Flocks of Canada Geese regularly pass overhead, their cacophony announcing their presence long before we set eyes on them. And birds are now eating the fruit of sumacs. The sumac that dominates open areas in our region is the staghorn sumac. Its name reflects two features that somewhat resemble a deer: its branches spread out in the way the branches of a buck deer’s antlers do. Sumac branches are covered in hairy bark that looks remarkably like the fuzzy skin called velvet that adorns the growing antlers of whitetailed deer and moose. Other types of shrubs often require close scrutiny of their leaf or fruit structure to identify them but not sumacs. In the autumn, a sumac’s compound leaves (each leaf consists of up to 15 pairs of pointed leaflets with one terminal leaflet) turn brilliant scarlet. Even more distinctive are the red plumes that prominently adorn those shrubs all winter long. The plumes are fruit clusters, each containing a number of hard-cased seeds surrounded by a red, berry-like structure covered in bristly hairs; sumac fruits are technically “drupes.” Animals eating drupes pass the seeds out in their droppings thereby acting as seed dispersers. You will notice that some sumac stands contain lots of red fruit clusters while others bear nary a one. The stands lacking fruit are not that way because animals ate them all. It’s because sumacs form cloned stands, with each clone consisting of

NOTICE OF PROJECT INITIATION MUNICIPALITY OF MISSISSIPPI MILLS Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
POTABLE WATER STORAGE
The Municipality of Mississippi Mills (Municipality) is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to assess alternative potable water storage solutions for the Almonte Ward, building upon recommendations from the related Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Master Plan (Almonte Ward) completed in 2012, and updated in 2018. The project is being carried out within the requirements for a Schedule ‘B’ project under the Terms of the Municipal Class EA process, which is approved under the Environmental Assessment Act. The Almonte Ward’s existing drinking water supply system consists of five groundwater wells, an elevated potable water storage tank and a distribution system. The 2018 Master Plan Update identified a shortterm potable water storage deficit that is anticipated to increase over time as the Almonte Ward grows. As such, various alternatives for additional storage will be assessed throughout the Class EA process. As part of the Class EA process, public comment during the evaluation of alternative solutions will be requested. The Municipality is planning to conduct one public information session during the course of the study. Notice of the session will be provided in advance. Project information will also be available to the public at the municipal office and the municipal website, www.mississippimills.ca. We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns that you may have about this project. A public database of comments will be maintained and, with the exception of personal information, included in the study documentation that will be made available for public review. Parties interested in providing input or that wish to obtain additional information at this stage of the study are asked to submit comments in writing to: Municipality of Mississippi Mills: Potable Water Storage Class EA c/o J.L.

FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE MADAWASKA RIVER BRIDGE (STRUCTURE B258) ON COUNTY ROAD 1 (MADAWASKA BLVD.) TOWN OF ARNPRIOR The County of Renfrew has initiated the planning and design process for repairs to the Madawaska River Bridge in Arnprior. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the planned project and provide an opportunity for the public to bring forth comments, concerns, and/or questions regarding the proposed project. The project will involve basic structural repairs to the 44 year old bridge which carries Madawaska Boulevard over the Madawaska River in the Town of Arnprior (See Site Plan below).

Jaguar boys prepare for provincial hockey championship DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
The boys’ varsity team at St. Joseph’s High School in Renfrew all but breezed through the regional finals and are now preparing for the provincial championship in Collingwood. All three games of the finals, held at Nick Smith Centre on March 6, began the same way. The Jaguars came out somewhat tentative; both teams feeling each other out; then the skills took over, boosting confidence and, by the end of the third, the Jags had filled the net. “I really feel we outskated the other teams all day long,” said Stacey McGregor, head coach and teacher. “Speed and passing and our depth. All the lines played well.” The first two games of the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (EOSSAA) ended 4-1. The final game, against Cornwall’s Char-Lan, was a 5-1 win. “Every player has a role on the team, and they all know their role,” McGregor said. “Our Grade 12s had to be our best players, and they were. Not just on the ice, but they calmed the other ones down in the dressing room. They were really great.” After last year’s regional victory, McGregor had the Grade 12 players gather to receive the trophy after the final whistle blew. He kept to the tradition this year. “Well, its because they’ll never get to do it again. And they know what went in to getting here,” he said. “The other ones don’t really appreciate how

The 2017-2018 Jags are: Tyson Johnston and Carter Atkins in goal, Tyler Blackburn, Jared Burnette, Nicholas Crozier, Cohen Dunn, Isaac Enright, Matt Finan, Jayce Greer, John Agnew, Keilan LeClaire, Nate Leduc, Sheldon Lyons, Nolan McGregor, Hayden Moore, Jake Pianosi, Sam Pianosi, Joel Ryan, Andrew Searson, and Braydon Dellaire. rare it is.” Among the Grade 12 players he was referring to: Nicholas Crozier. A goal-scoring forward, Crozier netted a hat trick in the final game. “It should have been four,” Crozier said, chuckling and chastising himself. “But that doesn’t matter. It’s a team sport.” The 20-team Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OF-
SAA) championship goes from March 19-23. It is made up of A and AA teams (schools of up to 500 and 1,000 respectively), which means St. Joe’s — comprised of Catholic students from Renfrew, Arnprior and surrounding areas — could be playing a team with twice as many students. They are ranked near the bottom of the pack, but that is because those
doing the rankings haven’t seen them play. They didn’t attend the large tournaments in Toronto. “We’ve cautioned the kids to not worry about the rankings,” McGregor said. “It doesn’t mean much.” He is going in with a level of confidence, though. “For me, I just want the kids to go out there and play their game,” he said. “I think we are going to surprise
some teams.” The 2017-2018 Jags are: Tyson Johnston and Carter Atkins in goal, Tyler Blackburn, Jared Burnette, Nicholas Crozier, Cohen Dunn, Isaac Enright, Matt Finan, Jayce Greer, John Agnew, Keilan LeClaire, Nate Leduc, Sheldon Lyons, Nolan McGregor, Hayden Moore, Jake Pianosi, Sam Pianosi, Joel Ryan, Andrew Searson, and Braydon Dellaire.

Midget team claims league B championship NANCY PECK
The UOVMHL 2018 Midget House League - Division B played for the championship on March 3 and 4 at the Renfrew Ma-te-Way Recreation Centre. Teams from Arnprior, Renfrew, Eganville, Deep River, Petawawa and Barry’s Bay played against each other and gave it their all, as they knew it would be their last weekend to put those pucks ‘bar down’. Game after game they battled it out until the Arnprior team brought it on home. The Arnprior team had an amazing weekend with 25 goals and only four against in five games. Many of the players had played hockey together since childhood and were making their exit out of the minor hockey league. They kissed their medals and held the championship cup up high, in salute to their biggest fans, their parents, grandparents and friends. The memories they had made together today and over the years will be forever branded in their minds. Is hockey fun? Heck ya! Congratulations to the Arnprior midget house team.

In loving memory of Theresa Hass (December 14, 2004) and Bobby Hass (March 14, 2013) We thought about him today, But that is nothing new. We thought about her yesterday, And the days before that too. We think of them in silence, We often speak their names. All we have now are memories and their pictures in many frames. Their memory is a keepsake, From which we’ll never part. God has them both in His arms, We have them forever in our hearts. Always in our thoughts, Jim, Sue, Jenny, Anne, Brenda & families

Don’t let safety grind your gears
Unique visitor
Reader Russ Corbett photographed this Red-Tailed Hawk, which settled in his backyard in Arnprior then at the top of a very tall white spruce tree. He has a hunch it may be this year’s offspring of a pair that nested in 2017 in a forested area beside highway 29 and 417 Arnprior. This hawk has a wing span of four feet and feeds in open country, says Corbett. HELP WANTED
Throughout the past century, much has evolved in the agricultural industry – and this is most obvious when we look at the machinery that farmers count on to make their day-to-day tasks easier. From power steering in tractors to all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) becoming an industry staple, every new or improved bit of machinery has come with its own special set of preventative safety measures and guidelines. Considering the fact that farms often double as a workplace and a home, it’s not uncommon for farming to become a family business – a side effect that can make the job more effective, but can also prove to be that much more devastating in the event of fatality.

To mark National Farm Safety Week, March 14-20, the Canada Safety Council is offering safety tips around machinery, including best practices, preventative measures and, with these, a reminder that shortcuts should never be taken when discussing safety. “The agricultural sector is an important one whose role in Canada can’t be overstated,” said Jack Smith, president of the Canada Safety Council. “The job often entails the use of sharp, blunt and heavy machinery. “It’s only through proper training, education and preventative maintenance that these tools can be used safely, and it’s the farmer’s responsibility to ensure their proper use at all times.

Agricultural fatalities are on the decline, relatively speaking. According to Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting, the average of fatalities between 2002-2012 (the most recent year where data is available) was approximately 30 fatalities less than the running average from 1990-2001. Although the overall trend is encouraging, 2012 still saw 60 agriculture-related fatalities – an unacceptable figure. Unsurprisingly, machinery dominated as the major cause of fatalities between 2003-2012, with 70 per cent of fatalities being attributed to machine rollovers, run overs, entanglement in moving machinery parts or other machinery-related causes. What can farmers do to keep themselves and their families away from harm? The best tool for any farmer hoping to run machinery is the owner’s manual. Machines are typically designed with safety in mind and are perfectly safe to use, assuming correct maintenance and operation. An inspection of the machine prior to operation can sometimes reveal otherwise unnoticed safety concerns including leaking air or hydraulic lines, removed machine guards or obstructed emergency stop switches. Make it a regular habit to do a walkaround of all machines prior to use. A walk-around can also help if you have any small children, as they may be playing behind a vehicle you intend to back up. Other tips include… • Wear personal protective equipment, when required, on the job. Goggles, safety shoes and leather gloves are all potentially lifesaving in some circumstances. • Avoid wearing any loose-fitting clothing, jewelry, hairstyles or anything that could get caught on moving parts. • To that end, stay away from moving parts at all times. If there’s something caught in a moving part, make sure to turn off the machine and remove the keys from the ignition before performing maintenance. • If you’re parking a machine on a slope, make sure to block it. Fifty per cent of all run over fatalities between 2002-2012 were individuals who were struck by an unmanned machine. • Exercise caution and judgment when operating a machine close to the edge of a ditch, slope or field. This is the most frequent cause of machine rollovers. • Perform preventative maintenance on a regular basis, making sure your machine is properly lubricated, adjusted and has no parts in need of adjustment or repair. Farming can be a dangerous industry, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Prioritize safety and training for your family and workers. Consider signing them up for the Canada Safety Council’s ATV rider training course to give them a leg up on proper use of these machines: https://canadasafetycouncil.org/product/atv-rider-course/

Mary always pleased when Three Mile Herman came for dinner MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories
It wouldn’t be the first time Three Mile Herman stayed over for supper. I loved it when Mother asked him to eat with us after a long afternoon of sliding down the west hill with my brothers. His cousin, Two Mile Herman hardly ever came to our house in Northcote at the same time as Three Mile, because they fought like cats and dogs, and Mother would have none of that. They were both scrappers, but if they could be kept apart, a fight could be stopped before it even started. Both families were staunch Catholics and on one occasion when Three Mile was at our house on a Friday, and couldn’t eat meat and Mother had made him scrambled eggs, my brother Emerson accused him of swiping a sausage off the platter when no one was looking. Three Mile Herman called him a dirty rotten Protestant and said he did no
such thing, and the fight was on. So everyone had been warned. Three Mile was a guest and would be treated as one and that meant no nonsense at the supper table. Three Mile was one of thirteen in his family. No one knew exactly where he fit in, but he was one of the younger ones. Well, when he ate his meal, he had developed the habit of circling his arms around his plate, and I once got up the nerve to ask him why he did that. He said on more than one occasion when he took his eyes off his plate for barely a second, someone stole his chicken leg or his pork chop, and he wasn’t taking any more chances. Mother had supper on the table, and since it was a Saturday, there was no need to make anything special for Three Mile. He could eat meat like the rest of us. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Father as usual said grace, us with our heads bowed, and when we said our ‘amen’, Herman made the sign of the cross as he always did.
Mother, who had once been a Catholic, and was now a Lutheran, only made the sign of the cross when she was in deep distress, and of course, when Father wasn’t looking. Mother beamed at Three Mile. It was time to dig in, and once Three Mile had his plate loaded (with enough food to feed half of Renfrew County), he immediately circled his plate with his arms, freeing one to shovel in his supper. Emerson was trying not to laugh and had his hand over his mouth. Mother sent him a look that you didn’t have to be a mind reader to know what she meant! Mother was a real stickler when it came to table manners. Except when it came to Father. She gave up trying to change him from habits that she once said put her teeth on edge, whatever that meant. He still cooled his tea in his saucer and drank it from there. And he wasn’t above giving his knife a good lick either. Three Mile finished off his plateful
before most of us barely got started, and handed his empty plate over to Mother for a refill. And again with his arms in a circle, within minutes, there wasn’t as much as a crumb left on it! I couldn’t imagine where it was all going. It was no surprise to see him dig into his big piece of chocolate cake, polish it off and again ask for another helping. We would be getting a good lecture from Mother if we ever dared to eat like Three Mile Herman. we’d hear about the starving Armenians, eating with our elbows on the table, and gobbling it down like it was going to be our last meal on earth. Good table manners were right up there with going to church every Sunday, or changing your underwear every day. Father, of course, paid no attention to Mother’s table rules, but we children knew it wasn’t at all unusual to be denied our dessert if we, as Mother said, ate like savages. But having Three Mile for a meal
Terry Stavenow, Broker t.stavenow@bell.net View listings @ terrystavenow.com
was like having a party. I enjoyed every minute of his visit, and was so happy that he would be going home with a full stomach. How he got his food from his plate to his mouth was never talked about. And he always went home with whatever was left over of the cake, or a paper bag of homemade buns. I often wondered if he shared the food with his family, but my brother Emerson said he was pretty sure he would go up into the hayloft and polish it off away from his big family, who would be more than happy to relieve him of whatever Mother had sent home with him.
